so this afternoon, my folks came over to visit me - they dont visit often, but since i am at home this week recovering from my sinus op, they made the effort to visit.. we were chatting and drinking tea and the phone rang.
i got up and answered it and i was greeted by a friendly sounding woman named heidi, who told me she was doing a "christian volunteer work" and was just calling to share a "short message with me".
she talked about the lords prayer and how it's words are "thy kingdom come" and had i ever stopped to wonder what that kingdom was.
I've made my position clear on this. I was a pioneer in the early '70's. I made my hours pestering my neighbors face to face.
I can't even comprehend the lazy attitude that one must adopt to submit to "telephone" witnessing.
Nothing irritates me more that being outside working, then running inside to catch the phone and find it's a solicitor.
I haven't yet had to effectively deal with a religious telephone solicitor. Fortunately for them.
I'm an igloo.
Cold outside and warm inside?
oh my, this gal is an x jw,,now on the view,,,.
,now a born again.
her son lives with the dad in california, and she flies out for the weekend to see him.
I don't mean to hijak a thread, but how do you folks find the time to watch tv?
Honestly, I have no idea who this person is.
This virtual life you all are discussing scares the hell outta me.
No, don't go away just yet. ;-)
How about a three story structure that has the first 1 1/2 levels submerged. The sides facing the sun are exposed to radiant heat, the gardens are located there and the excess heat helps to create a draft that cools the buried rooms...
i've known that for years, but now you all do!!.
love you, janet.
are you looking for our handbasket?.
you are like my family.
"like"?
Accept it, we ARE family!
over the decades musicians rise and fall like a spring wind.
some stay where they should never be, some never are where they should be; such is the roulette of time.
this thread is dedicated to singer songwriters who influence the rest of the best, but are seldom known - 'gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars...' .
I have never understood why Dave Stewart was quite so overlooked both as a musician and songwriter. An incredible, iconocalstic musician he was also a very gifted lyricist.
That's the rule though.
Far too many gifted musicians are overlooked while some are promoted.
Not all have access to this group. I know, you know about KVMR Seeker...Imagine the radio station this group could create. ;-)
Good music without payola.
personally, i think they are ............and from an early age but why?
from personal experience men need to feel loved, wanted and appreciated but have a bypass from romance.
is it just my husband or do you men feel pressured to be "be romantic".
I think Mr Majestic is correct. Men can be very romantic. I also think women often fail to recognize/appreciate it.
I too wonder if it's real or perceived. I've lived a bachelors life, when I date a woman I bring flowers...I open doors. I do this because I want to send the message that "I'm here because I want to get to know you"...pre-sex, I want a personal relationship. If I don't like you, I'm gone...there will be no sex. I have this option because in my society males are conditioned to take the lead. This commentary really dosen't address the op's question, but I submit the observation.

Did she sing the song "At Seventeen"?
Yeah, but I remember her for "Society's Child". I was just starting to become aware of social issues, and she was writing songs about them.
I found this though, gotta love youtube.
Having taken the time to read through this thread I wonder:
Suburbia" killed the electric car....and city buses and trolley cars..
Everything I've read up to this point indicates no one here can debate that on the West Coast the public transportation in the early 1900's was state of the art. Here in Sacramento, it was powered by a hydroelectric dam. Every thing I've read indicated it was clean, cheap and functional.
Just now, 100 years later we are again using electricity on those 100 year old lines. We've extended them a bit...but what we had back then can be experienced in SF by any tourist. The same private transport network existed on the entire West Coast and then rapidly vanished. Some have said it vanished when it was at it's optimum efficiency.
Why?
Anyone here know?
Save the rabid verbage for another thread, why were these lines shut down?
I'm all ears.
I'm not interested in hijaking this thread, but this question can't be answered without looking at the history of "electric" public transportation.

Unfortunately in this business it is as much who you know as what you know, if not more
Sadly, that is the rule. Fortunately we get to hear some who can't be ignored.
