Good afternoon, Kitty Mittens.

Thank you for sharing your cute turtle with us.

I enjoy your Doggie stories.

Happy Turtle Day.

[JustAmy]

I’ll check the links when I return. I need to get away for a while.

Pinging myself so I’ll know where I am. :)

~~Happy Turtle Day~~


(these conjoined turtles have me baffled)

[jaycee]

Awwww, thank you Amy! Hope you’re having a good day!

[OESY]

Thanks for the video clip, yorkie. I should have guessed the song Lady in Red would be on YouTube by now.

.

[jaycee]

Yorkie, I tried and tried to get it to play. Since I’ve been having my computer problems, I haven’t been able to play the videos....

So far, I have been very gentle on my son....but its getting harder for me. I just don’t like to be demanding on my sons. There comes a time though. He would get mad if I got someone else to work on my computer and I don’t want to spend the money anyway!

Do you ever have a day where you feel nothing is going your way. I am about ready to throw me a big “pity party”. LOl!

Yes, I am thankful BUT there are those days~~~~

[OESY]

These conjoined Democrats have me baffled.
Methinks it's all pre-election politics.

[jaycee]

Hi Kitty....Liked your turtle. I remember you posted one a while back from your King's Ranch! I just wanted to say hi and I have some places to go, even though I don't want to. I will probably get back on tonight!


I'm fast!

[jaycee]

;o) You’ve got that right, Oesy! Hope your day is going good........mine isn’t today! I will try to “keep on keeping on”.........LOL~~

[jaycee]

~~~sigh~~~

[yorkie]

I know what you mean - I've had a very rough WEEK myself!

[jaycee]

Where did you get that picture of me~~~LOL~~~

[yorkie]

LOL! I have it saved in my files!

I hereby dedicate this song to myself and jaycee, and all the rest of us who might have had a rough week:

Lesley Gore - It's My Party, I'll Cry If I Want To

[yorkie]

Look what I just found on my gate! LOL!

[jaycee]

Well, yorkie, my day is getting worse....this is how much I could play "its my party and" I am getting aggravated with the computer, really! My son has been so good to fix anything on my computer. He is moving and working on his new house and I just can't put pressure on him.

These are some words I remember about that song. I was very young and still dancing a lot.....

"Its my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to...You would cry too if it happened to you!" I wanted to listen to it badly but can't! Thanks anyway....and I will see all of you guys later! I am going to get some plants to see if it cheers me up! I need to get that job over!

[jaycee]

Thats wonderful...who in the world did that for you? I love it!

[yorkie]

Oh, I am so sorry you couldn’t see the clip. It is black and white (with the original singer, Lesley Gore - go-go dancers in the background.) It was made in 1963, 45 years ago.

Here are the lyrics:

It’s My Party, I’ll Cry If I Want To

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he’s supposed to be mine

It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.

Playin’ my records, keep dancin’ all night
Leave me alone for a while
‘Till Johnny’s dancin’ with me
I’ve got no reason to smile

It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.

(lead break)

Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
Judy’s wearin’ his ring

It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.

[La Enchiladita]

To love Christ is to have a heart for others.

A hearty AMEN!!! Rus, these are great. I'm sorry I forget to watch their program on Sunday mornings, but they have had some good ones....
