Yes I love the story too, I haven't been able to spend as much time here for a few days and will not be able to do so until after the weekend. But I will be back to play then.
Let me think about something new........... maybe we can "borrow" an idea that I saw on another board. Similar to the story one but could up with a very funny story.

Tonight instead of reading i'm going to take a nice hot bath put on my warmest PJ's curl up in bed with a bowl of popcorn and watch one of my favorite movies. And tonight I'm going to have sweet dreams instead of nightmares. I just wanted to say one thing, I am thankfull every day that each one of you are a part of my life. Everyone here has something unique an very special inside them, and each of you bring something different to the group. And i love you all just the way you are.

I am going to get into a warm, but horribly ugly nighty, (cut like a scrub top, in a navy and forrest green plaid) and listen to an audio book. It is all the fun of a bedtime story, like when I was a kid, but with more interesting stories. I am sure to have at least one cat with me, purring and snuggling.

And here I thought it was Vit D and skin cancer. Ooop not quite the type of positive you meant is it........?

ok,ive thought long and hard about it ,but have decided to take up george clooneys offer of a back massage ,after he has run me a nice bubble bath!
then im gonna let him feed me ben & jerrys ,with strawberries ..............hey!!who woke me up?????lol.

You drank beer, you played golf, you watched football - WE EVOLVED!

Interviewer: "So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?"
FZ: "You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table?"

Without deviation from the norm, 'progress' is not possible.

The people of your century no longer require the service of composers.

The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consonant and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese.

I must confess, I was born at a very early age.

I worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Mark Twain on Friends

When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy--that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them


The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in the right.
