That flag is beautiful.

We have been to Lompoc; it must really be something when seen from the air.

[JustAmy]

Doesn’t he look sweet?

Thanks for that too cute picture.

Thank you Dolly.

I have not seen a lawyer yet. I will probably be the one paying for it. I saved $ working 2 jobs for the last 4 yrs so I could go to school, restock my savings, & possibly take a trip on my b-day this year (my main goal was to pay off my car loan, & that is done). So all of that may go out the window.

“I’ve Got The Music In Me”

[Verse 1:]
I’ve go trouble in my life
No dreams to make me cry
I’ve never frightened a worry
You know it’s always goodbye

[Pre-chorus 1:]
I heat up
I cool down
When something gets in my way I go around it
I don’t let life get me down
I’m gonna take it the way that I found it

[Chorus:]
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
Yeah yeah yeah
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in
I got the music in
I got the music in me
I got the music in
I got the music in
I got the music in me

[Verse 2:]
You say that life is a circle
But that’s the way that I found it
You gotta move in a straight line
Keeping my feet firmly on the ground

[Pre-chorus 2:]
I heat up
I cool down
I got words in my head so I sing them
I don’t let life get me down
Can’t hold onto my blow so I play them

[Chorus:
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
Ya, ya
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me

Feel funky
Feel good
Gonna fly like a bird
Hold on to your hat and sing sing sing
I got the music, oh oh oh

[Chorus:]
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
Ya, ya, ya
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music (in me)
I got the music in me
I got the music (in me)
I got the music (in me)
I got the music, they pretty music
I got the music in me
I got the music (in me)
I got the music (in me)
I got the music in me
I got the music (in me)
I got the music (in me)
I got the music in me
I got the music (in me)
I got the music (in me)
I got the music in me
I got the music
I got the music in me, ya

I’m sorry, it is about a record and/or a record player, is it not?

[jaycee]

Aren’t they cute....Knut is huge now. I saw them showing him a couple of months ago. They’re cute but when they grow up they will eat us up without looking back.

Just got back from errands~~~~its so cold...brrrr!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Is it your birthday?

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[NicknamedBob]

"I’m sorry, it is about a record and/or a record player, is it not?"

Good catch! A poem from the viewpoint of the needle in the record player.

"When all is silent otherwise, I dance."

[NicknamedBob]

"Is it your birthday?"

Every day that I open my eyes is a birthday. But this is the sixty-third anniversary of the day that happened for the first time.

Even the scientists and doctors will agree with me. They'll tell you that every breath is an inspiration.

[JustAmy]

Since I quit having birthdays, you are going to catch me soon.

Happy Birthday, Bob. Did ya find any free birthday stuff?

[Kitty Mittens]

[NicknamedBob]

"Did ya find any free birthday stuff?"

Only a birthday cake, and some yodeling exterminators.

I think that was what they were trying to do.

[NicknamedBob]

Wahoo! what a party!

It leaves me breathless!

.

Or maybe it was all those blasted candles ...

[Kitty Mittens]

Lol!

: )

[DollyCali]

bummer! is there a legal aid society that might help? or at your local country republican group.. someone who will let you pick their brain?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
SUNSHINE

[NicknamedBob]

The sun has been shining steadily for nearly five billion years, and can be expected to continue for at least another five billion years.

Out here, more than ninety million miles from its surface, we can feel the power even as we walk from shadow to sunshine, or from sunshine to shadow.

That energetic contribution goes out, not only all over the Earth, but all over Earth’s entire orbit!

And then, it not only goes out in a circle, but it also goes out in three dimensions. Up, down, left, right, this way, that way, every way.

What a prodigious waste! All that wonderful warming sunshine going out to those distant neighbors on the other side of the valley.

Or maybe, it’s just a very generous blessing.
