I guess you got the last drop..........
Special case for which standard rules and parameters of 'life' apply?
Dang.
Busted again.
Where'd everyone go?
Yeah, you're a special case alright, darks!
Busted, like the do-dah man. once told me you’ve got to play your hand
Sometimes your cards ain’t worth a dime, if you don’t lay’em down,
Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it’s been.
What in the world ever became of sweet jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same
Livin’ on reds, vitamin c, and cocaine,
All a friend can say is ain’t it a shame?
Busted, up to buffalo. been thinkin’, you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep gettin' busted on.
Sittin’ and starin’ out of the hotel window.
Got a tip they’re gonna kick the door in again
I’d like to get some sleep before I travel,
But if you got a warrant, I guess you’re gonna come in.
Busted, down on bourbon street, set up, like a bowlin’ pin.
Knocked down, it get’s to wearin’ thin. they just won’t let you be, oh no.
You’re sick of hangin’ around and you’d like to travel;
Get tired of travelin’ and you want to settle down.
I guess they can’t revoke your soul for tryin’,
Get out of the door and light out and look all around.
Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it’s been.
Busted, I’m a goin’ home. whoa whoa baby, back where I belong,
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back to getting busted again.

That same storm front is hitting us here in Texas .. the line is huge! Thunderboomers now.
It's about that bad, too.
Be careful down yonder...and have fun.
From the beganning of time of your purter on line you can go back in time!
Yes, I use that site often...it's very good at finding stuff that certain people think they can hide by washing things up....but the wayback machine finds out the truth by finding all the nooks and crannies and crumbs left behind after the scrubbing.
How do you find things if you don't have the URL?
sometimes, when you're searching on google, you'll come upon a site that you try to click into and it says it's not there anymore....so, you right click to get the url, then go to the wayback machine and paste that url into it...then it'll take you to it. Sometimes, though, there's some kind of "robot blocker" that won't let you retrieve the old information.
I have tried where as a few years back you could get a real bio on someone....now a bio looks like a resume!
It really is disapointing I just learn about this site tonight!
Super thanks for the help!
I forget how I learned about it (it's been a very long time ago)...but it sure has come in handy, lots of times.
yw and have fun with it.
here's where I've got a bookmark link to it:
http://web.archive.org/collections/web/advanced.html
you can play around with the options, and you'll see that you can go back to sometimes years ago....depending on how you request for a display (I usually pick "List all pages that match search criteria")....then it'll be listed in columns by year and in rows by month...you'll get to pull up every page that ever was created at that website. I've used it to catch certain website in lies, just as recently as a few months ago. Other FReepers forwarded that information to a conservative organization to help itself defend itself, I believe, in a threatened lawsuit, saying they never had certain information at their website (of course, they claimed that AFTER the scrubbed their site clean)....but it was all found, still there, in the wayback archive, foflol!
Thank you I added that to my bookmark
