Bo tried to bring back New Orleans after what happen there, A great man. We will all miss his music .A great man, we will miss him & his music.
Yup, was a sad day when Bo died. Kind of like an end of and era.
Singers now a days either sing so loud you cant understand them or just dont care about how they sing. I still listen to the oldies or country.

To me, they either scream, wail or both.
I also generally only play the oldies (and I mean REAL oldies, like Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw)
Good Morning.

Days to Christmas Day: 205
Overcast here this morning but no rain is predicted until tomorrow.
Have a Terrific Tuesday, Terrific Friends!

Good Morning Friends....alittle late but I'm here!
I just got back from a breakfast at a small town eatery north of me. My friend and I chose the NON-SMOKING section.... I knew I was in trouble when I got ushered past the row of booths and every single one of them had a cigarette in hand. Coughing, hacking, smoking, coughing, hacking, smoking. One person was hooked to an Oxygen machine and was smoking still! We sat down and ordered and I watched the cigarette smoke waft into the non-smoking section like a snake...by the time we got served our food, any appetite was lost and it felt like I had smoked a half-pack. When I got outside, my shirt...well, ALL of my clothes stunk and my hair smelled awful!! Never again I cry, never again!!
Sorry friends, I just had to tell somebody....:rudolph:COUGH!! Gag...
Can't wait for another wonderful opera from our Bingster!

Good morning!! WELCOME BACK MAMMADUKE!! We missed you around here!! So glad to see your back! :hello:
It's a dreary ol day today...calling for strong storms this afternoon! I just started on another afghan for my friends for a house warming gift, which means I am in the middle of 3 afghans right now. What am I thinking??? Lol!!
Since Ohio passed the "no smoking" ban we don't have many smokey restaurants anymore...not all places enforce the law, but for the most part, there's no smoking in bars/restaurants anymore. It's amazing how much I notice smoke now...when it was legal I guess I was just use to it & never paid attention...now I walk into a bar/restaurant where there is smoke, & it's like "OH YUCK!!!"
Have a great Tuesday!!!

I'm sure the experience left you - er - fuming.
It's OK to vent. One of the reasons we are here.

"We found out Whispering Pines of Chappaqua -- the local flower shop -- has been delivering a bunch of arrangements to the Clinton house -- some for Hil, some for Bill and some for both.
So why do people send flowers? A wedding -- no. Funeral -- sort of. The end of a Presidential campaign -- bingo."
Found this happy little quote on TMZ...I have no opinion on the political aspect of the article but rather the name of the florist intrigued me...So just think...Right now, Hil and Bill are dining on fired twinkies surrounded by flowers from the shispering pines...We're almost world famous folks!!!

You are so funny Jay, Yes the end of her campaign is coming.Now we'll never get near shispering pines if they find out where the flowers came from.We'll have to make sure they don't take over the pines.

Genuine question from across the water......
What is the consensus of opinion regarding Obama and Hillary? Is the US ready to accept a woman or Afro-American president?? Are they likely to get to the White House at all?? Are the States ready for a change in government??
I'm genuinely interested. I'm not trying to open a political debate (never discuss religion or politics!!) Just nosey - please remove if too controversial!!!

It seems to me that the general consensus is, we need a drastic change. I personally don't think that our president has done as bad a job as folks like to say but I'm in the minority...I don't know enough about Clinton or Obama to make an educated statement but I think each has a chance. I do think that experience should play a part in which candidate is chosen during these somewhat turbulent times in the USA...

I agree with Jay. Bush, while far from perfect, has been unfairly treated by the news media.
But to directly answer your question, Maureen: Yes, I do feel the country is ready to accept a woman or African-American president.
I have been around for over half a century now and have seen changes I could not have imagined as a child.
But one thing I have not seen change - most people continue to vote their pocketbooks - whichever candidate they feel will do the most for them and their economic situation.
