Yet again, as happens at least every couple of days, this thread stopped sending me reminder emails, which means that I completely forget it exists. So (boo ho, sob), Lauri(blessedmom) was the proud author of the 10,000th. post here. (And the 10,001st., as it happens).

I suppose no one remembers MUD?

Mescalero - hope you are doing ok. Here's a Christmas song for ya:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxkqHeEPtBY[/youtube]

I remember once Ed Sullivan hosted The Beatles. My mom whisked my five-year-old crew-cutted self away from the TV and into my bedroom - but let my sister watch. Said she didn't want me watchin' those damn hippies with their long hair. :lol:

(As if I could ever have imitated them, as my crew cut merged into a 'high and tight', and now I sit here waxing my bald head... :roll: :wink: :lol: )
(...and here I am, surrounded by damn long-haired hippies...) :mrgreen: <----- (envy)

(...I luvs yas! :D )

February 9th, 1964, Ed Sullivan Show:

(I selected one where you couldn't see their long hair well. Don't want to corrupt your young minds. :wink: )

Hartz, I met a woman yesterday at the plant nursery. She had something to buy in her hand and said, "That will do for today." I laughed aloud and replied, "Is it hard to spend all your money in one go?"

I have to admit that I have a loud voice and I am inclined to make cheerful comments to people around me. I have tried to be more contained since being on this planet, but yesterday..


She was sick, really sick. She had 2 of the things that you have - in that zone - and there was a third that could not be found. She thought she would be sick for one year, but 15 years later she is still sick. She started crying in the shop. She haas just shifted into the area and has no women friends.

So I took her number and have talked to her on the phone. And I thought of you.



You're a sweetie pie Robyn! :D

not a problem, you can like whatever you want :-)
and be enthousiastic about it, i enjoy the enthousiasm
(to be honest i rarely click on the music links in the cafe, i think i have a different taste in music,
that's why i like it when people also describe what the links are about, so that if it's
something else that i might take a look anyway)

oughh, can i have the price for the 'most boring person' today :duh:

Favorite Christmas songs? Yeah, I've got a couple!

Duck and cover, everyone!

Sadly, I couldn't find videos for Tom Lehrer's "Christmas Carol" or Type O Negative's "Red Water (Christmas Mourning)".

Hartz, I just sent my friend "The Spoon Theory" and called to see what she thought. She also has Crohn's colitis but hers is active and she just had a blood transfusion 2 weeks ago. She had friends that didn't believe her because "You don't look sick." :x I am the only who got it. Maybe she can use this to explain it to other friends.

We had a good cry and she asked me to thank you, so Thank you, Hartz! :heart:


I'm so glad that you found it helpful, blessedmom! I was afraid to post it at first, because I grew up in a family that was always invalidating any illness or discomfort I suffered. I should have known that you people would be cool with it! :)

Glad to hear that you were supportive, nannarob. But I wouldn't expect any less of you! :)
