Charlie Pride is black? ROFLMBO! No way!

[SpookBrat]

Good job Meekie. You're gifted. I can't do that.

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Jim .... That's another that I could hear and see.

[JustAmy]

Thank you .... we want this to be a fun thread!

Hope you are enjoying the music.

[JustAmy]

LOL

"sign of age; your children's music becomes garbage"

Now, I didn't call it garbage ... just racket.

[SpookBrat]

I like that video. I LOVE Willie Nelson. Too bad he is a liberal fruit cake, but he is worthy of admiration for his unique voice and talent. Toby Keith is heaven in Wranglers. Did I just say that? Glad DH is in bed asleep already. LOL

Good night folks. Amy, thanks for providing a pretty, fun place to visit with nice people.

Yes, he is black and one of the best country singers around.

Years ago, I heard him on an interview saying that he had a rough time being accepted because the black people wondered why he sounded white and the white people wondered why he was black. I can't remember his exact words but something to the effect ... you look like us and sound like them ... you sound like us and look like them.

Well, I messed that up but hope you understand what I intended to say.

[SpookBrat]

LOL I love the word "racket". It's such a motherly word. That was one of my grandma's favorite words.

I just killed 3 mosquitoes on my computer screen. Gross. Got any Windex?

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can get going without pep pills,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any
time,

If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when,
through
no fault of yours, something goes wrong,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,

If you can face the world without lies and deceit,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

...Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

I guess I knew he was black but had forgotten it. One of the most shocking things to ever see is a black cowboy at a rodeo. I don't know why that always shocks me. It's nice and I like it, but you don't expect it, you know. They just look so out of place. Maybe that's the way people look at Charlie. Hmmmmm.....

Oh well. You can tell I'm getting tired. I just rambled about nothing.

[JustAmy]

LOL

That is great, Calpernia.

I just found something else to be thankful for ... I'm not the family dog!!

[Calpernia]

A BLONDE IS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, AND GOT CAUGHT IN A REALLY BAD HAILSTORM. HER CAR WAS COVERED WITH SMALL DENTS, SO THE NEXT DAY SHE TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THE OWNER SAW THAT SHE WAS BLONDE, SO HE DECIDED TO HAVE SOME FUN. HETOLD HER JUST TO GO HOME AND BLOW INTO THE TAILPIPE REALLY HARD, AND ALL THE DENTS WOULD POP OUT.

SO, THE BLONDE WENT HOME, GOT DOWN ON HER HANDS AND KNEES AND STARTED BLOWING INTO HER CAR'S TAILPIPE. NOTHING HAPPENED.

SHE BLEW A LITTLE HARDER, AND STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. HER ROOMMATE, ANOTHER BLONDE, CAME HOME FROM WORK AND SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

THE FIRST BLONDE TOLD HER WHAT THE REPAIRMAN HAD INSTRUCTED HER TO BLOW IN THE TAILPIPE IN ORDER TO GET ALL THE DENTS TO POP OUT.

HER ROOMMATE ROLLED HER EYES AND SAID, "HELLLLOOOOOO . . . . YOU GOTTA ROLL UP THE WINDOWS !

[Calpernia]

hmmm, I've seen you in the dog house before ;)

(referring to a cute graphic Louie made for you)

[JustAmy]

Giggle ..... that's cute. I like blonde jokes (must be because I was once a blonde!)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Great video, Jim. Thanks so much.

Glad you liked the music.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Charlie Pride is black? ROFLMBO! No way!

I didn't know that either until I looked for his pic. I had to check twice but since it says… country music, I figured it was him, LOL

[JustAmy]

LOL

You're right .... maybe I am the family dog.


I miss Louie : (

[Victoria Delsoul]

I have WindowsMedia.com but some things will not play on it.

OK, I will try to find something tomorrow.

[Calpernia]

LOL! That is the graphic I was talking about!

I miss Louie too. He should get a laptop so he can freep from bed :))

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL!
