P o e m:
Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. -Mary Frye

My favorite today is visiting the pets, sitting in an A/C house, watching a real t.v. with the current news on a big acreen. Will be taking my Lindt with me-hope I find the pineapple chocolate!

GA - I was at WalMart the other day, getting groceries, and noticed they had a bunch of stuff on clearance. One of the items was Eight-O-Clock Coffee CHOCOLATES. Not kidding. Little squares of coffee-infused chocolate. I picked up a plain and a hazelnut - they are incredible! Who knew?!

Favorite thing - discovering new chocolate. Local grocery store periodically has sales on Lindt chocolate bars. A new one is a dark chocolate bar with pineapple. There's just the hint of pineapple, lending a nice, fresh, subtle taste to the dark chocolate.

This one's a keeper. I need to get back to the store and stock up!

I would love to visit Scotland, as many of my ancestors are from there. But my dream trip is to Venice, and then Egypt. Perhaps a river cruise.

My ex is a complete knobhead. A tallywhacking jerk face knobhead. (I'm plagiarizing from monkeygirl. At least I admit it, not like another woman who spoke for her bloviating bigoted knobhead of a husband.)

The above two paras have nothing to do with each other, except that b/c I got rid of the knobhead, I now can go where I want.

This thanks goes out to all the loving, brave souls who continue to strive, after losing a loved one after years of caregiving, and are still a part of the caring going on here.
Love, from Send

Hey Send! You asked and I answered. Kitty is guarding the fort. I was going to say locked and loaded but considering the times we are a living in............? Not such a good idea.

He looks fierce with an unloaded rifle. :)

:O !!!

I am just picturing the strategist responsible running the original video past the official candidate and trying to explain Freddy Mercury to him.

For a follow up, perhaps they should use "I want to break free"?

Cooking two chicken breasts in tiny toaster-oven for later.
Then, we are having chocolate ice cream. Really hot day, heatwave.
Staying cool @95 ° only. Putting on the exit fan, even the tiny countertop oven is making heat.

We are the champions, by queen.
I was interested to hear something about the Queen of England, so I clicked on the rnc in error, there was the song being played, trending now. Please protect your loved ones and dementia patients from the news-they might think it is all real!

Where is Gershun with her kitty-cat avatar, protecting Canada from all bad things?

Oh-oh. What have I missed, Send?

It probably wasn't Vladimir Putin's version of Blueberry Hill, but that would certainly be one example of a good song not so much ruined as just made really alarming.

The other that I can't quite forgive Mike Myers for is Dr Evil and Mini Me's duet to 'Just The Two of Us.' It will never be the same.

But, so, who's using what for which campaign?

When some famous people use a famous song (without permission btw) for their own self-promotion, they can really ruin it for the rest of us.
Hearing the song, it repeats in your head, but then you think of how it has been used and it makes you sick.
Still, there are many other famous songs left to sing....

Pam I used to do the same waiting for my kids to come out of school. One term I fancied I had really nailed The Queen of The Night's aria in the Magic Flute. It wasn't until a year or so later that I found out that the dad waiting in the next car with a 'help me God' expression on his face was actually an opera singer.

One of my favorite things is when a new song remake comes out using the lyrics of an oldie but goodie you have known for years. When your kids are playing it, you sing it out!

I went to the Home Goods store today and just piddled around... Mom's piddling time is about 30 minutes.. mine was like an hour and half! I hate to do this when Mom is home,, feel like I should be getting her out of the house, but the trip to the dollar store is about her speed these days I may just go to the bookstore tomorrow!!!

Won the ant war...
1 cup of warm water 1/2 cup of sugar 2 tablespoons of Borax (can be found at most grocery stores) Mix the ingredients and either leave them in a shallow dish near the ants or anywhere along their trail (ants leave a scent trail so that other ants can follow them). Alternatively, soak some cotton balls in the mixture and leave them near the ants. Please note: make sure that you DO NOT do this where your pets can eat the mixture! The ants will take the mixture back to the colony and help eliminate them for good. Many people have tried this inexpensive solution and it has worked like a charm!

Lyrics-
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears...

Well, I remember also, my brother coming up to me saying: Stop cryjng!
Guess that is when I learned then and there to catch my tears up short.

So very long ago.

Desiderata. Desiderata. Desiderata.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender,
Be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others -
Even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons - they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,
For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career -
However humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is.
Many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection, neither be cynical about love.
For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
It is as perenial as the grass.
Take kindly the council of the years,
Gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune,
But do not distress yourself with imaginings -
Many fears are borne of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe.
No less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
Keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy.

I remember being deliciously scandalized when watching The Life of Brian with my friends at he drive-in theatre. The only part of the song I remember is "life's a piece of s***, when you look at it", and everyone whistling cheerfully as the movie ended.
