I was pleased to read kjfine reached his destination safely.
What would really please me is seeing him and all the others come back home.

[StarCMC]

Thanks for that re-post HiJinx! It is always amazing to me that in crisis all barriers to civility come down and we just do what is necessary.

[StarCMC]

"democrat hurricane" -- Too funny!

[StarCMC]

Tell your kid he/she done good! Kudos!!

[Aeronaut]

Thanks Fawnn, for sending me that article. I never get enough airplane stuff.

[StarCMC]

It also brings back bad memories from the past. Thank God idiots like this are few now-a-days.

Everytime I see anything regarding the VietNam vets coming home and how they were treated it brings tears to my eyes. As long as I live I will never understand that. (I was born in '67 so I had no idea what was going on at the time.) I have vowed that even if I am the only one, I will honor ANY military man who comes home from doing his duty in the military.

[StarCMC]

Amen to that! But I want the job DONE so they don't have to go back!

[Saint Lucie]

why thank you darlin' too bad that my visits are so short and sporadic, however persistance seems to be the key!

[Saint Lucie]

I too am a 67'er. My father was wounded in VietNam - both mentally and physically! My baby brother is afflicted with the mysterious Gulf War syndrome - I never appreciated the rawness of VietNam until I watched "Born on the 4th of July" - heartwrenching beyond belief.

Song : I Love A Rainy Night

Lyrics:

 

* Well I love a rainy night (2x)
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good
Well I love a rainy night
It's such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain
On my face
To taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadow
# Wish I was washed
All my cares away
I'd wake up to a sunny day
'Cause I love a rainy night
Yes I love a rainy night
Well I love a rainy night (2x)
Repeat *
Puts a song
In this heart of mine
Puts a smile on my face every time
'Cause I love a rainy night
Yes I love a rainy night
Ooh I love a rainy night
Yeah I love a rainy night
Repeat #

[MoJo2001]

Good afternoon, Diva! You are looking fabulous! How are you today??

[minor49er]

I've never met any of the unoffical officals, either.
Hi people! Back from school. I'll be lurking and doing my homework at the same time.

Artist : Eurythmics
Song : Here Comes The Rain Again

Lyrics:

 

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

{Refrain}
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

{Refrain}

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here is comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

{Repeat last verse to fade}

Congratulations to Virginia! The 3 year drought is officially over! Woohoo!! After this weekend, we won't need to worry about a drought for another year!

I Am the Flag of the

Of America

I am the flag of the United States of America. My name is Old Glory. I fly atop the world's tallest buildings. I stand watch in America's halls of justice. I fly majestically over institutions of learning. I stand guard with power in the world. Look up and see me.

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice. I stand for freedom. I am confident. I am arrogant. I am proud.

When I am flown with my fellow banners, My head is a little higher, My colors a little truer.

I bow to no one! I am recognized all over the world. I am worshipped - I am saluted. I am loved - I am revered. I am respected - and I am feared.

I have fought in every battle

of every war

for more than 200 years.

I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox. I was there at San Juan Hill,

the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest,

Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.

Guam, Okinawa, Korea and

KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me. I was there.

I led my troops, I was dirty, battleworn and tired, But my soldiers cheered me and I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled on the

streets of countries I have helped set free. It does not hurt for I am invincible. I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and

trampled in the streets of my country. And when it's done by those

Whom I've served in battle - it hurts. But I shall overcome - for I am strong.

I have slipped the bonds of Earth

and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon. I have borne silent witness to all of America's finest hours.

But my finest hours are yet to come.

When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,

When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier, Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,

I am proud.

Please forward this message to all who still love and respect me that I may fly proudly for another two hundred years.

[MoJo2001]

That is absolutely beautiful! Getting ready to email it! *HUGS* How are you today, Diva?? *HUGS*

[StarCMC]

Thanks and HUGS Mojo -- you stay safe! I gotta go change a poopie diaper -- ah! The joys of motherhood! I hope to check back in later today!

Artist : Bonnie Raitt
Song : Something To Talk About

Lyrics:

 

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT
People are talkinn 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, Darlin'.
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love?
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You'd act so nervous,
Could you be falling for me?
It took a rumour to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced I'm going under
Thinking 'bout you every day
Dreaming 'bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really shoe it, Darlin'.
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?
Let's give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?
from Bonnie Raitt's _Something to talk about_

[MoJo2001]

LOL! Okay!! Have fun. Maybe not! See you later!

Artist: Marc Cohn
Song: Walking In Memphis

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

(Chorus)

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

This song has been remade twice. Once by Cher and another recently by a country group. Hello? NO REMAKES ARE ALLOWED! Here's the original!

Artist: Bee Gees
Song: Grease

GREASE
I saw my problems and I'll see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word

They think our love is just a growin' pain
Why don't they understand? It's just a cryin' shame
Their lips are lyin', only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel - grease is the word

Chorus:
(Grease is the word, is the word that you heard)
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word

chorus

This is a life of illusion, a life of control
Mixed with confusion - what're we doin' here?

We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word

chorus repeats 2x

No! MoJo isn't playing this just to make fun of Baby Boomers to help them relive those awful Disco days. Nope! This is merely a song that I found in the library that I would never play otherwise! Hehe!
