Matthew is studying poultry raising in his History/Geography program. It's computerized, and it has links that you can click on and it'll take you to a particular webpage if you want it to. It just so happens, today he was studying about turkeys! They had this link to click on...

Pretty neat, huh? And that's not all. My neighbor (who is kinda different, but nice all the same) knocked on my door and said she had a turkey that they weren't going to use because they were going out of town. She was standing there holding this 12 pound frozen-solid turkey. Said the Lord told her to give it me!
Well, who am I to argue with the Lord!? I took the turkey gratefully and we'll be having it for Thanksgiving!

Wow... :~D

I took the turkey gratefully and we'll be having it for Thanksgiving! Never look a gift turkey in the mouth...or something like that...

You aren't considering this? I'd consider elf grass if the little pixies would come over and mow and rake leaves for me...

LOL I forgot to ping you, but figured you'd see it anyway.
Pretty wild day, huh?
She's good about that, though...very thoughtful to bring anything extra she has over...and I'm the same with her. Once I got a bunch of oj on sale and took over a bunch of it to her and her kids. And I make those great waffles, you know? Many a morning, I've gone over there with breakfast for the kids...hot yeast-risen waffles!

Matchbox 20 is good, but I don't care for their recent stuff. If you like real singer-songwriters check out
Cake. They have a unique sound with smart quirky lyrics which are infinitely listenable. (they do have 1 or 2 songs with bad language, out of 4 albums)
I also have a lot of hope for Vanessa Carlton. Her lyrics are a little lame, but her "A Thousand Miles" is an excellent music piece. The piano and orchestra music is beautifully written. I crank it.
I liked that song. Maybe I'll like it again when people stop playing it all the time.
Aimee Mann (the Magnolia soundtrack) has done some nice work too.
Steve Earle is good if you like rockabilly/country rock (but not that over-produced garbage that goes by the same name.)
I really enjoy orchestrated video game music. John Williams turned Legend of Zelda into an awesome score. The Final Fantasy and Chrono Cross soundtracks are good too.

You are right about Matchbox 20's most recent album... I haven't heard anything on that that I have wanted to buy. I bought the first two... and the Santana duet.
I wish the lyrics weren't so lame on Thousand Miles. I haven't bought it because of that.
I have heard some Cake that is good. Good tip on the others... will keep an ear out.
My listening to popular music comes and goes in waves... Because I only listen in the car. Any popular music I buy usually lives in the truck. For awhile I will listen to talk radio, and then that will get old and I will tune in music again. At home I listen to Jimmy Buffett, Paul Simon (with or without Garfunkel) or the FoTR soundtrack ;~D

What about that Michael Card CD I sent you? You ever listen to it?
To: 2Jedismom
Well, I giggled about it, but all I could say was Wow! What a day indeed!
I used to work for an office that would buy everyone turkeys. It was a little whimsical to have a big frozen bird delivered to your desk, and see everyone packing a turkey out along with their briefcase at day's end.
To: 2Jedismom
Yes, I have listened to him a few times! I like it!
To: HairOfTheDog
That's how it was where I used to work before I had Matthew. They had a big refridgerated truck out in the parkinglot and they ticked your name off a list when you showed your badge and gave you a frozen turkey. Too funny!
To: 2Jedismom
The CEO actually delivered the turkeys individually in this office. His chance to mingle with the little people and be appreciated ;~D
To: 2Jedismom; HairOfTheDog
They mail us Gift Certificates for Butterball turkeys at my office. :)
It really is such a nice gesture. They also send me flowers on Secretary's Day. :)
To: RMDupree
I kinda missed it, because they don't do it for Steve.
