OLLD 6/1

Morning all! Am I first? I can't believe that!
Featured Answer
  • 12 years ago
    I am such a clever person, I seem to do so much when I'm not even here. With friends like you lot - who needs enemies!!! Even worse Angela hasn't even started yet.. Shhhhh........... don't wake her anyone.

    I forgot to throw my old remotes when my new TV and DVD player were installed the other day. Now I have 5 remotes instead of 3 - still working them out. I get very annoyed when the remote won't answer my phone and they don't dial numbers either.........and have you ever tossed one in your handbag instead of your mobile as you race out the door.

    Night all. Pouring rain tonight, love drifting off to the sound of rain.

      Angela, the orchid is too tall, sorry. The pot's tall also, maybe a shorter pot?

      STK, re-gentrification? Is that what it's called? And good for you for taking the action you're taking. Only good can come from it! Take your Vicodin, rest, be well.

      EZ, I sent David another email but haven't heard a thing yet. I'll let everyone know if I do.

      Well, we sold the old TV for $100 to a mom and her 12 y/o who are just starting out again. I thought the boy was going to die with happiness. That felt really good and I hope they get many years of use from it!

      Bobbi-I knew that it was too tall, I had it in the corner and not on table. But wanted you to see it.

      bobbi!!! Your garden bench is just AWESOME!
    • 12 years ago
      Awww! Thank you Kimdee! Kinda groovy, huh?
    • 12 years ago
      It's really great, bobbi! I love it a lot!
    • 12 years ago
      Thank you, I appreciate hearing that from you!

      I missed it earlier, you all were so active today while I was out!
    • 12 years ago
      Well my team just lost.
    • 12 years ago
      Well, mostly finished up at my moms today. She's got a huge pie lot whose size is almost unheard of in the location she's in. Unfortunately, that's an awful lot of space for dandelions to go crazy. I think we went through close to 30 recycle bags for all the lawn and garden waste. I still have to make a trip to the dump and the recycle station, but at least the lawn is manageable now.

      Bobbi - love the garden bench!

      Angela - love the table. The chairs go perfectly!
    • 12 years ago
      Robin, you are just on a dandelion war these days! Nice of you to help your mom with her lawn. How's your grandma doing?
    • 12 years ago
      I love this time of year... I have the patio door open and I can hear the frogs croaking on the lake behind me. It's like being in the country... in the city.
    • 12 years ago
      Good night guys. Everyone have a good night.
    • 12 years ago
      You too Angela.

      Last I heard she was being transferred to a larger hospital. She lives in a small farm town in southern Alberta, but their hospital is a pretty basic almost clinic. They couldn't handle her there (complex medical issues). I'm thinking about taking a drive tomorrow to see her, but its almost 6 hours each direction.
    • 12 years ago
      Not that I haven't done it in one day before...
    • 12 years ago
      Good thoughts for her, Robin...
    • 12 years ago
      Just got home from a wedding dance...knew the Groom's Mom, and pretty much no one else!! So anyhow...Jay got a dance with the bride which was pretty sweet and made his day!!
    • 12 years ago
      @Robin...Hope your Grandma does better very soon!!! :) Thinking of you!!!
    • 12 years ago
      Kimdee... go look at my "idea book" I put the picture in there just for you... :-)

      Best concert? Has to be a toss up between Jimmy Buffet or Kiss... I have only been to one for Kiss (several years ago) and several for Jimmy.... He is just fun... Worst.... Neal Young... He was drunk or something... couldn't even sit on his stool without falling off.... We left early... Another awesome show was Ian Anderson...

      Haven't been to a concert for years (obviously)....

      There are so many people I would love to see... But I don't do well with a lot of people around me... Maybe being so short?....
    • 12 years ago
      Robin... I hope you can see her... And, I pray for both of you...
    • 12 years ago
      Angela... Great choice on the table and chairs... I think you will be happy with them...
    • 12 years ago
      Patty, don't be concerned with being short at a concert! Just make sure you get front row seats!

      I've never been a big fan of Andrea Bocelli; my feeling is that if he weren't blind, he'd just be "another average singer". I thought that Freddie was an incredible showman, not just a singer, and I have seen a Queen tribute band a couple of times. I'm not sure how much I'd be willing to pay, to see the current Queen, if they got to the east coast; I'm still in awe that Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics, and was Chancellor of a Liverpool university for 5 years!

      Love Jerry Vale, and if you like "Goodfellas", I'm sure you'll remember this:
    • 12 years ago
      I wish I could've seen Queen! What's your favorite song of theirs, Astraea?

      Did you open 6/2?
    • 12 years ago
      "Bohemian Rhapsody", of course! :) I decided to look at "This Week on Houzz" first .. haven't started 6/2.
    • 12 years ago
      Of course! hehehe Ok, I'll open 6/2
    • 12 years ago
      astraea, despite the evil of Goodfellas, it was a well made movie with a great soundtrack!

      I actually heard Andrea Bocelli sing before I knew he was blind. However, sighted or not, he would never be considered "average" by any means.

      BTW, have you seen "A Bronx Tale?" Another tough but interesting mob movie with a good soundtrack.
      "Sonny had 5 fingers, but he only used 3 of them," is my favorite line. Spoken by "C" about Sonny shaking his hand when he spoke, with only his pinky, index finger and thumb extended.
    • 12 years ago
      I think that Bocelli tries to be everything to everyone; he's a good singer, but he'd never be a star at the Metropolitan Opera.

      I've never seen "A Bronx Tale"; next time it's on TV ..

      I still can't believe that Lorraine Bracco, who started as the innocent girlfriend & then wife of Henry Hill, in "Goodfellas", wound up being Tony Soprano's psychotherapist on "The Sopranos"!
    • 12 years ago
      Yeah, she was good in both parts! A very unusual voice I think. Bronx Tale is on fairly often on Spike. DeNiro looks really good and plays a nice hardworking dad. It is a very nostalgic film for people of a certain age, lol. Especially for ex-NYers like my family!

      so many great concerts. one of the best was a blues fest seeing stevie ray vaughn, BB king and many other greats all in one night.

      joe cocker and jethro tull put on great shows.

      joni mitchell was a big disappointment. she came out in an open ampitheatre concert setting and did more of laid back lounge show.
      phil collins was very rude and bitched about the low turn out. so guess what, alot of us left!
    • 12 years ago
      Wow, so not classy Phil. Maybe that is why his turnout was so low.
    • 12 years ago
      I remember my grandmother talking about how she and a bunch of women went to see Bob Hope. He didn't sell out, so he walked off the stage. He likes a BIG audience.
    • 12 years ago
      Wow, what a diva.
    • 12 years ago
      i used to love to go to comedy shows, large or small. saw robin williams do his 1st ever outdoor evening. he didn't know til arrival that it was an outdoor venue. he was so quick with adlibs to the unexpected sights and sounds. it was a great show.
      i've always been poitically conservative and more so the older i get. now i can't stand to listen to or support limousine liberals and that seems to be the category for the majority of comedians. in fact a high % in all celebrities.
    • 12 years ago
      I saw Paula Poundstone once, before she got famous. Hilarious!
    • 12 years ago
      awh , hate to hear that about bob hope. like when i read gorgeous clark gable had dentures and bad breath and actresses dreaded love scenes with him. so many illusions shattered. such is life
    • 12 years ago
      bobbi, i saw her too 10 or 12 yrs ago. funny gal. now she's on NPR some saturday mornings
    • 12 years ago
      Yes! Not to mention the Rock Hudson illusion! Has to be one of the biggest of all time!
    • 12 years ago
      It's a shame that some celebrities are the exact opposite of the public personna they've created. Years ago a friend of my Mom saw Bing Crosby in the airport; didn't even recognize him because he was bald, and when someone pointed him out to her, he couldn't be bothered giving her an autograph.

      Yet there are celebs whose public personna I don't like - Joan Rivers, for example - and they're wonderful, generous & caring people in real life!
    • 12 years ago
      That is why it is better to NOT know, lol. And also why some musicians and actors should keep their political views to themselves. I would rather not be thinking or disliking their politics, I just want to hear them sing!
    • 12 years ago
      It's a shame that some voters give a celebrity's political opinions more weight than other people, just because they like their music or parts they play .. there's rarely a connection between political savvy & entertaining skills! I would certainly have given my eye teeth to attend a Republican event with Charlton Heston, or even Ted Nugent today!
    • 12 years ago
      So true. My husband was a huge Springsteen fan, until he started spending his time talking politics. Hasn't bought any of his music in years now because of it.
    • 12 years ago
      Springsteen is a perfect example of DIAspoton's "limousine liberals"! "Man of the people" in jeans & checkered shirt .. then you find all the properties he owns within trusts & with other names! Nothing in Monmouth County is in his name, but when you look up his "Stone Hill Trust", there are more than a dozen properties of almost 400 acres, valued at almost $26 million!!
    • 12 years ago
      Ted Nugent! Now THERE'S a HUBBA!!!
    • 12 years ago
      Bobbi - Don't think he's swinging around in a loin cloth anymore! :))
    • 12 years ago
      Better yet!
    • 12 years ago
      exactly astrea. michael moore is probably the absolute biggest hypocrite ever. yet people actually believe his
      'documentaries' and pay hard earned dollars to see them.
    • 12 years ago
      Well, today is the Primary Election in New Jersey. I decided to take a break, and am not a poll worker this time .. I couldn't face getting up early enough to be "at work" at 5:15 am! At least the weather is nice; Monday was horrible .. rain on & off all day .. I heard that between Sunday & Monday, some places got up to 3" of rain!
