i was travelling at the weekend and decided to put the eagles hotel california in the cd player...i have always liked this album but due to my recent music studies i listened to it in a different light...we have been discussing the importance of presentation aswell as good music...and it struck me that this cd has it all...proper balance, the right mix of guitar and keyboard, of heavy and light, of rock and acoustic, great ballads, great lyrics, and great vocals and harmonies, great opening, brilliant ending fade-out.... and all done without drugs.
so whats your favorite eagles top 5. mine are in this order..... no 5.....new kid in town.
no 4.....the sad cafe.
Saw them in concert 3 years ago, I think. I've always loved the Eagles, and they were every bit as good I'd hoped in concert.
OK, I'll pick 5, but I prob'ly won't pick the same 5 tomorrow.
1. Take It To The Limit
2. Desperado
3. Take It Easy
4. Already Gone
5. Learn To Be Still

i took this picture at my daughters jr. high school mini prom.
the 2 boys with hats, moved away a few months earlier,after growing up here.
they just happened to be visiting, and saw their classmates.
Very cool, HL.
I love the pic - great lookin' kids. Like you, I'd be very proud to hear other kids say that about mine. It's a great compliment to her and you.

Hey Slayer, it's good to see you back. Wish your circumstances were better, but I know sometimes life just kind of spins on out of control. Like the others have said, you've got to get out. Dump the drugs and the people that came with them - go to a hospital, go somewhere, and get some help. If you want to clean up what people are saying about you, you're going to have to clear your head first. There's no shame in asking for help - be proud that you're ready to make some changes. If you need to talk, we're here.

i have never done a 60 month loan and i have sworn i never would... but with how much cars are costing these days i'm wondering if i will have to do a 60 month loan on my next car.
that is five frigg'in years!
i paid cash for my last car ($4,500 - 1999 ford contour se, used) so i had no payments to make.
I've done it plenty of times, and I'm sure I will again. Is it the smartest choice? That depends on alot of things - mostly interest rates and your ability to pay for it and simply how bad you want it, but also on the cost and availability of used alternatives, how long you plan to keep it, how many miles you're going to drive it.... I really believe that if you can find what you need (want) in a reasonably low mileage, late model used one, it's usually your best bet. But if there's only $3K diff in a used one, then I'd go new. I put alot of miles on my trucks, and it's hard to find one that works for me that's not either nearly new (with a nearly new price) or completely used up, so sometimes new is about the only alternative. Being debt free is certainly a commendable goal, but there's nothing wrong with credit, if it's used judiciously.
Actually, the main thing I wanted to say here is don't be so quick to pass up your local dealer. I guess I'd be more inclined to try Willie's plan in reverse - if I just want to drive one, I'd go someplace farther away, then try to buy it closer to home. Of course for me, "local dealers" are 15 miles away, the next closest ones 30 miles farther. There's usually not alot of difference in what dealers will actually sell the same new vehicle for, if you can cut through the all their b.s. , and even if there's a few hundred dollars difference, buying locally is well worth it. You will need service on that vehicle, and unless your nearest dealership is a total dud, you'll kick yourself every time you drive by it on your way to "your" dealership.
Just my thoughts. Good luck on the new ride Else.

maybe the correct word is not "hate", but "distain" or "dislike"... .
many people were against the war in iraq and dilike president bush, has this had a baring on how people view americans?
when america flexes its military muscles how do you feel?
Fortunately, there's more to the U.S. than Wal Mart. I'm greeted genuinely by the people in pretty much every business I go into. Generally speaking, if a business or employee isn't friendly and respectful to everyone that goes there, I'll keep my business elsewhere. Maybe I'll come in and browse from time to time, but my loyalty will always lie where people are treated the best.
