Bread story..... spill.
Her life ain't so boring after all
Love this song..... his voice is heavenly like JD Souther's
and I godda' gooooooooooooooo

Ok, ok. Bread story. Short version. RE: a friend of a family member whom I think is a pompous jerk and his personality makes my skin crawl. If he wants to get his wife in a romantic mood he plays Bread. Baby I'm A Want You?!?!?! NOT. Egads I can hardly type this. Need to go take a shower. BRB.

Along w/ my green beans and new potatoes I am bringing some good old fashioned tacos and of course left over birthday cake. Hope everybody like chocolate w/ sprinkles and gummy bears.

Who doesn't?

Oh and BTW, this is the only place I seem to get any exercise.
**running around threads *

I gave up trying to keep up today. I think I went back 5 pages or so on this thread and on last week's Epi. I have no idea where I am, or quite possibly, what I may be responding to. I haven't even had any adult beverages, either! *sobs*

But, WAJ just helped me along quite well with my diet. Blech. Thanks! I won't be eating again for, oh I don't know, ever? Well, shrimp, at least.

I'm trying to plan a Memorial Day cookout for just 6 of us and I'm making myself crazy. So far, I have:

steak
chicken breasts
grilled veg and orzo salad
banana pudding

I'm working on more salad/veg sides and tweaking some marinade ideas.
Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
*hint hint wink wink*

I'll try to keep up from this point on.

If you go to the boards main page the Top Chef shows last post in whatever thread. If you click on last post it will take you to your last unread post on that thread. The other trick is at the top of the boards main page it tells you when your last visit was so you can kind of backtrack by the times of the posts.

Thanks!

I'd still be out of touch by the time I caught up, but at least I wouldn't be left wondering where I left off.

Me too!!! I would totally have A.P.P. on my playlist, and I wouldn't care who thought it was lame or not. "Taste" is subjective, and every playlist is a personal choice. So much goes into our "playlists," whether it be music, films, art or what-have-you.

Never let anyone tell you that what you like or prefer is "wrong," "substandard" or "just plain silly," because it simply isn't true! Like "taste," critique is wholly subjective and personal. Take others' opinions, preferences and recommendations into account, but always like what you like, dislike what you don't, never feel the need to defend your choice as anything other than a personal preference, and simply ignore what isn't relevant.

"Kiss Them For Me" -- absolutely epic Siouxsie & The Banshees tune!

Kiss Them For Me
It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you’re the prettiest by far
No party she’d not attend
No invitation she wouldn’t send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found

"nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down"

Kiss them for me -- I may be delayed
Kiss them for me -- if I am delayed

It’s "divoon," oh it’s serene
In the fountains pink champagne
Someone carving their devotion
In the heart shaped pool of fame

"nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down"

Kiss them for me -- I may be delayed
Kiss them for me -- I may find myself delayed

On the road to new orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the 10th impact shimmered
The forbidden candles beamed

Kiss them for me -- I may be delayed
Kiss them for me -- I may find myself delayed

Kiss them for me -- kiss them for me

Kiss them for me -- I may find myself delayed

Kiss Them For Me

Hey Lia,

I have the shaker and I'm sending you a house special made just for you!

Bwahahahahaha!!!! Grrl, if the artists on that list of yours are "sucky," then you and I both need to rent ourselves out to Hoover! Every name on that list is a fave of mine, so at the very least, you and I are not alone in our prefs.

As far as "cowboy music" is concerned, I am by no means a fan of "country" music, but even I have an appreciation for a few oldschool country tunes and artists like Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn ... I still get Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley PTA" stuck in my head at the drop of a ten gallon hat!!!

Siouxie................ you are making me show my age.

W00T!!!!! Thanks, 2P! I am definitely spoilin' for a "Special!" Is it Wednes--oh, wait, it IS Wednesday!!!!!

I am so bad! I thought you guys were talking about bread as in the food!
Oh my I need that beer!

Just in case I forget to say it later.....thanks all for putting up with me during this semester.........I got 95% on the written final, and A+ on my porfolio, and my 18 page short story....well, it got a "I want to mail this back to you, because you should edit and expand it into a novel or novella and get it published!" AND....I've just received a response from a publisher about exactly that! Don't know whether to decompress or start having anxiety attacks LOL!

Jazzie

Absolutely! And give the birthday kid an extra hug from "Auntie Jazzikins"
LOL!

Sighing here ... I've been a fan since the late 70s/early 80s. Siouxsie is timeless, whether with The Banshees or The Creatures, and I have unlimited love for her as an artist. Several people have told me I resemble Siouxsie in her early years, so I'm probably completely biased!

I would consider that a compliment.

Wow Jazzie. Go for it!

Thanks Jazzie. I'm going to show him these messages. He'll love 'em.

No need for the shaker, just pass me a brew!

Freshly stocked supply. Passes one to Jazz.
Got off early today to replinesh porch

You're so right, Chucole!



Siouxsie rocks!!!!!

Ok girls. Jackie gives hugs and thanks for his b-day greetings. He's a little dismayed tonight as Andrew is gone and he reluctantly roots for my guy now.

God...I feel so out of it. I don't own an IPOD...not sure that I want to own an IPOD. So many of our students either have the buds stuck in their ears or are texting or are doing both...maybe if we put their lessons on the IPOD and then required them to text their homework?

LOL

Bitter? Party of one.

You are such a....a...teacher. Hey, I've done it, so I know where you're coming from, but....

Yodel ley yodel ley yodelleeey heee whhhhooooo... ...

It's all about the drama, and the ratings... ...

Well said...When I was a kid, I hated Jazz...Now I love it...Classical still holds the top spot in my heart though-but even that in a way was a "rebellion" kinda thing...My folks(mom mostly)were always trying to make me listen to "pop" music-You'll be more popular(translation-less gay)...So I listened to classical(I did like it then)almost to rebell...Hence I didn't learn the wonders of Pink Floyd, The Who, APP, etc. until I went to college...And in many ways I'm still catching up...While I've heard of most of the Artists, on all y'alls lists; I wouldn't know any of their works, except in the most casual way...On the other hand Manfred Mann, Pattsy Kline, The Platters, Elvis, you get the picture; I'm somewhat more knowledgeable about(funny though-I actually have very few "oldies" in my CD collection)...
And I am still a child of the 20th century-I own a cell phone of course; but an I-pod--I wouldn't even be able to learn how to program it('course I could ask my neighbors 7 yo daughter)...
I have to get a chuckle when my folks call me for computer advice(or ask when they're here)...As computer stupid as I am(I can't even figure out how to post a pic, or provide a link here on the boards)...

... ...

Me I'd like to learn how to can...So many of the basic cooking arts are being lost...I don't know that I'd use it all that much; but I'd still like to learn...

...flit...

Gotta say this somewhere....OT seems as a good a place!

I'm so nervous and excited!!!

I just got the follow-up email from the publishing company....they need me to submit three completed chapters, the novel's outline, and my bio.
I'm sitting here going,
"breathe, Jazzie, breathe"

And on the downside, we've an emergency meeting at my son's wonderful charter high school...they're enrollment is below minimum by 40 students for the fall, and they may not get their new accreditations for the next 5 years! Some truly phenomenal teachers and admin folks there....I hope we can pull that rabbit out of the hat!

It would be really nice if people would actually USE this board. The episode discussion boards are useless because they're nothing but inane chatter from people who really need to be using this board. I've stopped reading the boards altogether because I'm sick of wading through the asinine one-line, off-topic posts with twenty lines of signature block stuck below.

CAN WE PLEASE USE THE EPISODE DISCUSSION BOARDS TO ACTUALLY DISCUSS EPISODES, PEOPLE? Good lord.

Congratulations Jazzie!
Keep everything very close to the vest if you can. The mystery is what pulls us in!

I get your frustration... but... in a real way the boards most belong to those who contribute to them.

I bear you no animosity, but it is a bit unseemly for someone who has contributed a grand total of two posts to the board to be lecturing those who keep the boards going with both on and off topic posts.

Readers are welcome, but writers rule!

Gee, it never occurred to you that the reason there are only two posts under this name are because of all the CLUTTER on the boards? These boards are useless and why bother contributing when they're full of nothing but people posting just as I described above?

Take note, Bravo- I guarantee I'm not the only one who has stopped reading these boards because of the ridiculous amount of wasted screen space full of people's insanely long sig lines and no actual EPISODE discussion on the EPISODE boards.

To the rest of you- they gave you people this board for your clutter; why not use it and quit filling the topic-based boards with it? Seriously, people, look at the episode boards and note how many pages you have to click through just to find a SINGLE discussion of the actual episode. It's ridiculous.

And THAT is why there are only a few of you who post a lot. The rest of us walk away in irritation at the completely useless chatter wasting space on the other boards. No need to reply- I won't be back.

Actually to me it is one more piece of technology that we use to shut out the world. I know that is something we all need to do sometimes, but so many of the young men and women (and adults) I work with need more human interaction not less. If their music choices were more eclectic, maybe they would learn about the world (a little at least) through the lyrics. Sadly, the majority have a very narrow view of the world musically!

It seems to me that your post is on the wrong board! However, I must warn you that people will respond to you in not so nice a manner as Noteveyas just did. I know from experience....good luck and I agree (except for all of the really repugnant rants that are going on about Lisa on the restaurant war board).

When my nephew graduated last year,I got him an ipod Shuffle. He joined the Marines and wasnt able to take it with him so my sister,the teacher,used it at school during breaks and so on. She said its a life saver and ended up keeping it. She bought him a very nice 80g Zune to replace the Shuffle though so he totally ended with the better end of the deal.

Good Luck x2!

Dear Mr.Cranky Pants,

While I see your point,your reasoning for only having two post under your name makes no sense. Im calling bullsh!t.



Ive both complained and contributed to OT being in the wrong place. I would like to say that IMO,the OT isnt near as bad as it used to be. Yes,its getting worse but the peeps were very respectfully reminded about the OT thread recently and I think it went over very well.

Why dont you stop being so cranky and post,either OT or TC,and lets discuss something.

Oh,since I called you a name(it was a joke BTW) I give you permission to call me one. If it helps,Im short and fat. You should be able to come up with something good with those two faults.

Welcome to the board anyways,

I guess its not all bad news. He does like the Ramones,the Rolling Stones,Social Distortion,AC/DC,Queen amongst a few others. I know hes young and theres time. With so much sampling going on,kids will be like listen to this new song and um,its not new at all. They cant believe the song is older then them or their parents even sometimes.


As for country,if I were gonna listen to any,gimmee the old stuff. I grew up in the birthplace of Bluegrass. The Grand Old Opry was big in our house. Visits to Opryland were a summer ritual. I like Conway Twitty,Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton way more then I care to admit. I will also admit to having a huge crush on the Oak Ridge Boys,all four of them,as a kid. Oh,I really liked Alabama and Sawyer Brown too. Damn,thats a lot of country for someone who doesnt like country.


BTW,damn you Lia! I now have Harper Valley PTA stuck in my head!

Hey Bear,

What are the 10 most played songs on your ipod right now?


Mine are:

10. Lets Work Together(2005 Remaster)-Canned Heat

9. Rockaway Beach-Ramones

8. Blitzkrieg Bop-Ramones

7. Beat On the Brat-Ramones

6. Respect-Aretha Franklin

5. She Sells Sanctuary-the Cult

4. Burning Love-Elvis Presley

3. Dont Bring Me Down-ELO

2. Suspicious Minds-Elvis Presley

1. Jet Airliner-Steve Miller Band

Actually this is probably better suited for the On Topic, board; but am I the only one inclined to when they see a poster "Just Got Here" to kinda skim through them-at least until they show some brains...

I wouldn't know what to do with an IPod...Even if it gave me a slap, and a tickle...And told me exactlly how to use it...

'k I'm lockin' it up for the night...y'all have a g'night/g'day...Last Call...Y'all don't have t' go home, but y'all can't stay here... ...

Yes, I'm bumping myself.

A very dear person helped me with an awesome idea for a veg vinaigarette (sp? Ican't spell that word to save my life ), but I've expanded the # of people showing up and other dishes. I now have 10 people and the following food:

Hummus & pita
Mixed olive plate
KIELBASA bites, preferably steeped in a lovely lager and served with a hearty grain mustard
Tzitziki
Roasted baby beets and garlic

Steak
Citrus-Soy Chicken breasts
Grilled rosemary, onion and potato packets
Grilled veggies and orzo salad with a kickazz dressing (*see above)
Fresh fruit salad w/ grated lemon and a wee hint of mint
Homemade chocolat chip cookie ice cream sammiches: choc, vanilla (and coffee/Kahlua ones for the adults)

Booze, lots of it
Water w/ frozen fruit cubes for the kidlets
Iced tea w/ lemon

That should do it.

I bump myself all the time..lol
ooooops
Da noive???
I'm staaaaaarving!!!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Pita........ how could you???????????

For the love of GAWD.... make them STOP!!!

How was the garage sale btw????

It was Pbbbbffffpbpbphphphpfffft. Thank you for asking. I'm not bitter. NO. Not me. *sobs*

About 10 families participated and we had about 12 people come around all day. All. Day.

We ended up donating a lot of the kids' clothes to Goodwill, as well as, some small cookware and appliances, dishes and glasses. Many things are still getting tossed on the curb on trash night.

My garage still looks like a dump site. A boxed, organized dump, but a dump nevertheless.


Aren't you glad you asked?

Buh-bye now... ...

I feel for you sister. About a month ago we had a VILLAGE WIDE garage sale. I had 5 people all day. It was a really crappy day. Sucked for everyone.

Psh! You trimmed!
