My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: I’m Scared

Four Walls @FourWalls (66306) • United States 4 Oct

From the long-forgotten country hit we move to a bomb of a song that followed a top ten hit. Yep, that’s the way I move. There are quite a few cases where I liked the lesser-known follow-up over the “big hit.” A good case is...

I Asked the Question...

celticeagle @celticeagle (164630) • Boise, Idaho 4 Oct

If we were to vote tomorrow for the presidency who would win? The New York Times says "Overall, Kamala Harris is ahead of Donald Trump". The ABC News project 538 shows that Harris is leading in the national polls 48.6% and Trump...

BarBaraPrz It's nice and sunny here right now but there is rain in the forecast for today, so I better get dressed and continue with my yardwork while I can. Or I could be lucky and it'll only rain at night, as it has the last few times.

Dang! I really slept in this morning!

The Horse @TheHorse (215682) • Walnut Creek, California 3 Oct

I usually get up with the sun. That means about 6:45 AM right now. This morning I slept in until about 9 AM. I don't work until 2 or 3 PM today, so I'm not worried about it. I must have needed it. I'm having Bacon as eggs for...

BarBaraPrz I don't remember what time I got up this morning, but Juanita didn't get up until 11 (she stayed over yesterday). I spent the afternoon working on my yard, and now I'm ready for bed. Nighty night.

Halloween Costumes

celticeagle @celticeagle (164630) • Boise, Idaho 3 Oct

When I was a young girl I enjoyed playing dress up. My mother loved jewelry and I loved going through it. So for Halloween, my mom would make me up as a gypsy. I had a peasant blouse and many long skirts. The jewelry went on my...

A 'before' photo

Judy Evans @JudyEv (336669) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Oct

A simple question: At what point does my cat scratch my back, rub my shoulders, and stand on my butt?

The Horse @TheHorse (215682) • Walnut Creek, California 3 Oct

I have said all I really need to say. Kitty is asleep at my feet. When she looked up at me with "soft eyes," I rubbed her back, scratched both sides of her neck, and then gave her a butt rub and tail stretch. At what point does...

You Didn't Even Read it, Knucklehead

Jim Bauer @porwest (86786) • United States 3 Oct

It's one thing, when you take the time to write and share articles and blogs, that not everyone is going to read what you write of course. And there's no law saying just because you write something anyone has to read it...

Fleur @Fleura (29926) • United Kingdom 3 Oct

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Honeycomb

Four Walls @FourWalls (66306) • United States 2 Oct

This is another one of those songs that emphasize the “pop” of the Hot 100 (instead of calling this just “rock”). Definitely not “rock” but part of the early rock era…which means they had no idea where to put it on the charts....

Kris is Gone Now

celticeagle @celticeagle (164630) • Boise, Idaho 30 Sep

The last thing I saw in the news about Kris Kristofferson was that he knew he was dying and he was giving away his belongings. I loved him in so many movies( A Star is Born, and the vamp one he was in with Wesley Snipes). He died...

BarBaraPrz I didn't know he was giving away his belongings, but when you think about it, he doesn't need the stuff now, and he died knowing where it went.

BarBaraPrz Yeah, when I had shingles the doctor prescribed me an extra antidepressant, even though I was already on one. It did seem to help, and when the shingles went away, I stopped taking the extra antidepressant with no deleterious effects.
