Happy 234th Birthday, United States Navy!


Thank you for serving, Diver!

[Billie]

I’m glad I could help. :)

[Billie]

Thats one of my favorite love songs and Taylor does it just beautiful...thank you Taylor!

I wonder if he realizes just how much many of his fans REALLY like for him to sing songs like this. :)

Did the javascript slideshow work with the embed stalled?

What I saw was the island background, with your pretty 'wedding' photo right in the middle of that tropical background, and at the very bottom of all that, in the center, was a tiny, tiny YouTube (about 50x50 size or maybe smaller - way smaller than any thumbnails that I see). I could see the tiny little youtube gif was loading, and could see a few images - saw Elvis' name, and hear just a bit of the song, but not enough to recognize it (I don't know that song). But I'm going to open the full YouTube song now. Thanks! I don't know how your 'card' with the slideshow was supposed to work. :(

[Billie]

Need to leave again. I'll return after a bit. Want another song? :)

[pollywog]

OH I love Wing Beneath My Wings!!!!

And of course that great Eagle.

Thanks!

[luvie]

You’re very welcome! Enjoy it for as long as you like!

[potlatch]

Aw, thanks Seadog for both pings!
I love the ‘Rain in my Head’ poem, slosh, slosh....

[Diver Dave]

Thanks Billie. ;)

[pollywog]

Yes it was Joe Cocker who sang that on the 45rpm, Billie.

Here it is on YouTube...

He just smiled again at me , after 50 years of marriage, only this time I’m sitting here in my bathrobe,hair uncurled, now gray haired.

[Billie]

I know I still have pings to answer, but right now, for the ladies.....from Elvis, with love.....

Playing For Keeps ~ Elvis

Love Me Tender ~ Elvis

I Can't Help Falling in Love With You ~ Elvis

Love Letters ~ Elvis

[The Thin Man]

I predict that TTM will be adding dixie sass to his list. :)

Dixie sass is on the list for calling me "thinman." I don't know who this character is she posted to but it's not me!!! :-)

Without the "The" before "Thin Man" then I'm just some ordinary "Thin Man" which hurts my self-esteem.

[TheConservativeParty]

Another great quote by the Peanuts cartoonist...”Happiness is a warm puppy.”

[Billie]

Absolutely! You're no ordinary thin man - even I know that you are THE Thin Man. :)

tch, tch, dixie. :)

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Aww, TM, I don’t want your ‘self esteem’ to be hurt! Just know this: If my name wasn’t ‘yorkie’ - they would be calling me “Aunt Fluffy”! So, let it slide, hunny.

[yorkie]

Thank you, Billie! “I Can’t Help.........” won’t open for me, but the others do! I love(d) Elvis! Wish we could stay on Love/Romance, every day.

Big sigh.

Maybe we should write him fan letters and let him know??
