    much too fat and a little too long!
    I signed up for an in-stock reminder on the 2XL hoodie. I am not a f'n 2XL !! The shreds of vanity I cling to cost me a too tight SD'ers ladies cut. As painful as it might be, I'm on the large-marge waiting list. (Ah, to recall my slender days when I tossed back a gleaming mahogany mane, instead of being comfy fat & silvered :-))

    friday afternoon and
    I'm still at the mines for a little longer. Friday afternoons in the summer are very casual here in this office...so I'm streaming Ventura County Fairgrounds 7/18/82. apparently I was there but that was a long time ago and I needed a reminder...I'm half way through and it's a good show. not great yet, but good. of course, I'm in a sterile office listening to it on a tinny laptop speaker, and not standing on the beach of the Pacific Ocean jammin with 8 or 10,000 like-minded smilin fans, enjoying our favorite band. Never forget those feelins.Phish is in DFW this week, maybe I'll catch them. Trey got me hooked I think. Tony...too bad about the QC at FTW merchandising. really sucks when you're anticipating something like that and it comes in wrong. I'm sure they'll make it right tho. have a great weekend all.

    Dueling song-fest....
    What in the name of SD-ville is going on here?? I'm a thinking Rich & Holly need their own dueling song blog :-) TGIF all... BTW, really disappointed now on two faretheewellmerch.com purchases. The mens XL sizing is more like L and the ladies purple tank top at a whopping $64.99 arrived today with a sideways logo. Pretty lame QC happing at the merch shop gang....right back to the returns it goes.

    @ have one for me
    Still here in the mines for a while...they gave us some frozen treats to beat the heat. Have a good weekend. Next week I get to serve my civic duty in the Jury pool. Thanks in advance for the care package. Sometimes I lead, sometimes I follow This time I'll go where she wants me to go She said maybe today, maybe tomorrow Deep in the woods down the low valley road While no one was lookin' on the old plantation He took her all the way down the long valley road They sent her away not too much later And left him walking down the old valley road Walk on Walk on, walk on alone Walk on, walk on Walk on alone, alone Out in the hall, they were talking in a whisper Everybody noticed she was gone awhile Somebody said she's gone to her sister's Everybody knew what they were talking about Whoa, while no one was lookin' on the old plantation He showed her what they do down the long valley road She came back around like nothing really happened And left him standing on the old valley road Walk on Walk on, walk on alone Walk on, walk on Walk on, walk on, on the valley road Standing like a stone on the old plantation The rich old man would have never let him in Good enough to hire, not good enough to marry When it all happens, nobody wins Walk on Walk on, walk on alone Walk on, walk on Walk on, walk on alone, alone

    Oh hell yes! Soundtrack of my life part 1 for sure. I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord Well I remember, I remember don't worry How could I ever forget, It's the first time, the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, No you don't fool me The hurt doesn't show But the pain still grows It's no stranger to you and me And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord.

    Marillion began as a prog band in the spirit of Peter Gabriel and Genesis... Had 4 very good releases and ....lead singer swam upstream.... love me some Genesis..... I'm counting out time, Got the whole thing down by numbers. All those numbers! Give my guidance! O Lord I need that now. The day of judgement's come, And you can bet that I've been resting, for this testing, Digesting every word the experts say. Erogenous zones I love you. Without you, what would a poor boy do? Found a girl I wanted to date, Thought I'd better get it straight. Went to buy a book before it's too late. Don't leave nothing to fate. And I have studied every line, every page in the book, And now I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, take a look. This is Rael! I'm counting out time, hoping it goes like I planned it, 'cos I understand it. Look! I've found the hotspots, Figs 1-9. -still counting out time, got my finger on the button, "Don't say nuttin-just lie there still And I'll get you turned on just fine." Erongenous zones I love you. Without you, what would a poor boy do? Touch and go with 1-6. Bit of trouble in zone No. 7. Gotta remember all of my tricks. There's heaven ahead in No. 11! Getting crucial responses with dialation of the pupils. "Honey get hip! It's time to unzip, to unzip. Whipee!" -Move over Casanova- I'm counting out time, reaction none to happy, Please don't slap me, I'm a red blooded male and the book said I could not fail. I'm counting out time, I got unexpected distress from my mistress, I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away. Erongenous zones I question you- Without you, what would a poor boy do? Without you, mankind handkinds thru' the blues.

    @ Fish Freaks
    Never heard of em'. Watching Live from Loreley 1987. Good stuff indeed. And they say deadheads are freaks...what's up with the face paint? [Chorus] The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night (the freaks come out) The freaks come out at night Discos don't open till after dark And it ain't till twelve till the party really starts And I always had to be home by ten Right before the fun was about to begin Crowds of people lined up inside and out Just one reason, to rock the house But in the day time the streets was clear You couldn't find a good freak anywhere, 'cause [Chorus] Now when freaks get dressed to go out at night They like to wear leather jackets, chains and spikes They wear rips and zippers all in their shirts Real tight pants and fresh mini skirts All kinds of colors runnin' through their hair And you could just about find a freak anywhere But then again, you could know someone all their life But might not know they're a freak unless you see them at night, 'cause [Chorus] Now the party's jumpin', the place is packed And when the crowd's like this, I'm ready to rap But before I could bust a rhyme on the mic Freaks are all over me like white on rice Freaks come in all shapes, sizes and colors But what I like about 'em most is that they're real good lovers They do it in the park, they do it in the dark But most freaks are known for breakin' hearts You could never tell what a freak was thinkin' of And you may never catch a freak without at least one glove And they don't walk, when they step, they strut And nine times out of ten they drive you nuts But take my advice, you don't stand a chance Freaks are so bad they got their own dance So if you wanna live a nice quiet life Do yourself a favor, don't come out at night, 'cause [Chorus] Hut one, hut two Hut hut hut [Chorus]

I Lived in Buffalo for each and every Super Bowl loss. Didn't watch a game for years after number 4. That gave me an appreciation for soccer, although I do go to Bucs games when the team is in town and look for a slam of the Bucs I am now a full Tampa Bay Rowdies fan though. Ralph's Mob rules!

...for beating those nasty classless poor sports, the Seahags. Almost the best day in football, ever (and I don't like the Pats either). The exception: Russell Wilson has class and is a good sport, too bad he hasn't rubbed off on the rest of the team or the coach.

I know this sounds crazy, but cayanne pepper is a vascular dialator and will allow more blood to regions starved for it, many with migranes find relief from snorting a small amount, think matchhead. It will burn. Many report after the burn, headache is gone. I'm not sure how bad it would be, but I use a caynne based nasal spray, and after s short burn, sinus is clear. If you try it start small.

Yessiree...it works if indeed she has migraines, but if it's another cause it could steal her face right off her head..... Saw someone in an ER with a hemorrhagic nose bleed after snorting crushed red pepper, why I asked, did you do that? Response....cause I could..... then there was the guy with the lightbulb up his.... But I digress....

I do tend to get migraines, and though these current headaches have been on the tamer side, I attribute them to migraines since I do suffer from them, and also the three days in a row thing. They have been subsiding with medication - and my headache is better right now though my head not back to normal. I am DEFINITELY going to get some cayenne to keep on deck!! Thanks Boo! It's strange that I haven't heard that suggestion. I've done worse in my younger days, I think I'll be able to handle it and as I love spicy foods I might even like it. I guess I'll have to think twice about telling anybody anything about "where the light don't shine." Apparently, that is everywhere. Keep Stella Blue.

again I emphasize, start small! I consume a teaspoon or two of the cayenne daily, a 1/2 teaspoon in a cup of hot water a couple times daily, it keeps veins open wide, good for many ailments. Google cayenne health benefits, you will be suprised at the number of things it helps. Keep it away from rrrrgrrrr or he won't be able to sit down for a week.

My daughter pulled second place in last nights Talent show Playing "Wayfaring Stranger". Man,! She was packing some soul!!! Tonight's her sweet sixteen party,..I have to write a Toast,..I am no public speaker, and dread such things. It is so incredible to see what a beautiful young woman she has become. I still see her as a tiny little kid, on a Sunday morning looking up at me from her cereal bowl with those big blue Eyes, asking me to pass the O.J....I hope everyone has a Greeeeeaaat Friday, Tfonts,..Love the new Avatar,..
