Ruth Bader Ginsburg was recently hospitalized. He once made an innuendo that if she kicked the bucket, that would give him the ability to put another Republican on the Supreme Court.
Your well/pump system sounds like the one I had when I had a farm. The pump was in a little room under the kitchen. The well as a hand dug shallow well about 10 feet away. By "hand dug" I mean some poor soul actually dug a hole down about 30 feet til he hit water. The hole was lined with stones. The storage tank was also under the house in the crawl space just sitting on the dirt. The galvanized pipe from the pump to the tank was just laying on top of the dirt under the house. I was told by a neighbor that once the temp fell to below freezing they had no water. My first thought was "God, no wonder they lost the Civil War." My little "Well house" also had a light bulb. I wrapped all the exposed pipes with heat tapes and that cured my frozen pipe problems. It boggled my mid that people would live like this for decades. Eventually I drilled a deep well with a submersible pump. By "Drilled" I don't mean in the conventional way wells are drilled with a rotating cutter. My new well was what is known to old timers as a "Pounded Well".
Most times I flush my toilet with a bucket of dirty dish water. It saves water and electric by not running the water pump. It's sort of like getting 2 uses out of the water. I'm usually careful not to flush any foreign hard objects down the toilet but one time I accidentally flushed a tin can lid which totally blocked the flow down the pipe. I had to remove the whole toilet bowl to get the metal lid out. At least it was warm out unlike today, it actually snowed this morning here. Well, I did it again. Only this time I couldn't shut the valve off that supplies water to the toilet no matter how hard I tightened the valve. I worked on it for about 2 hours with a snake and a plunger trying to remove whatever it was that was stuck. I figured I could shut off the water pump, drain all the pressure from the system and unhook the waterline so I could remove the toilet bowl, or just bite the bullet and call a plumber. Before I do that I decided to give it another try with the snake and plunger and this time I was successful in extracting a clear plastic spoon that I managed to break in half with the snake. The tank was still full so I gave it a flush and it went down as good as new. Whew, what a relief. I didn't have to remove the toilet or call a plumber. I probably saved about 150 bucks or more. So how was your day? Better than mine I bet.
Jealousy is a destructive emotion which can lead to the breakup of a relationship if it gets out of hand or is ignored. I think everybody has a jealous streak to some degree, some are stronger than others. Has Jealousy put a strain on your relationship at times? It has mine in the passed. I think a woman's Jealousy is more powerful than a mans.
Unless you have some concrete evidence of what you describe, say photographic or corroborating witness's, it's all talk just like what preachers do. All talk with nothing to back it up.
I went to Canada with a friend of the family when I was 17. His name was August but everybody called him Monunc. He was like a father to me. We were in Montreal and he went for a walk to one of his friends house. I had the keys and the car, a green 1950 Dodge Coronet with Fluid Drive was parked at the curb. The temptation was too great and I decided to drive the car around the block. I got in, started it up, and pulled away from the curb. I got to the end of the and here comes Monunc walking toward me. Man I thought, I suck as a car thief. I stopped at the corner and Monunc hopped into the passenger side. I said I figured you'd be coming so I decided to go and pick you up. I was a much better liar than a car thief. I made a right and drove around the block. There was a double parked car around the block and I apparently got so close to it that Monunc blurted out My God you could split a cigarette on this side. Thank goodness I didn't sideswipe the parked car. A year or so after that I wound up buying the car from him. Man I loved that car.
First of all it's dooby, not doopy. Next, I didn't mock anybody, I was just trying to explain in scientific terms where this "Experience" that HL mentioned comes from. The only one mocking anybody around here is you are mocking me.
When I'm asleep at night, I very often have dreams, while in this dream state I am experiencing what seems like reality. Then my full bladder wakes me up and I have to pee. When I was a kid, sometimes I would dream I was standing by a creek or a stream, relieving myself, then I would wake up shivering when my warm wet bed cooled off.
Dreams can be so real you think it's actually happening and the people and things you encounter, seem as real as if you were awake. I call it pseudo reality. Call it "Sleep Walking" if you like, It's conceivable that there are instances I theorize, where people become psychically active while remaining in this dream state and commit heinous acts because in their dream state they are fighting for their life or defending their loved ones or dispatching someone they hate. Others imagine they are having an interaction with God or the Devil or whatever.
The human brain is an amazing organ. I think it uses the time when half of it is in a dormant state such as sleeping when there are no distractions, to solve problems that arise during waking hours.
Ya know, in a way I feel sorry for you believers, the Jesus Freak Con Artists have you so terrified, you'll do just about anything, give them whatever they want including money, labor, property, to assure you that after you drop dead, your "spirit", which they invented BTW, will go to some paradise for eternity and just to balance things out, if you *Don't* give them everything they want, then your "spirit" will be consumed in a fire for eternity. It's the well known "Carrot and Stick" method which works so well on living things, children, pets, horses, even wild animals can be trained to do things they would normally never do.
There's so much talk about scammers on here, what so many of you don't realize is you're already the victim of a very sophisticated scam, one that has its origins 1000's of years ago from a region where the most effective way to survive when humans were living in a desert was by scamming their neighbors out of what little they had. The most successful Con Artists were eating well and living in great buildings called Churches, Temples, Synagogues, and Mosques. Sound familiar?
Most people are familiar with his huge hit "Pledging My Love" few have ever heard this one though.
Johnny Ace was performing at the City Auditorium in Houston, Texas. It was Christmas day and during a break with his bandmates, he began playing with his .22 caliber revolver. This was not uncommon for Johnny Ace as he often played with his gun and would shoot roadside signs while they were driving from place to place. The group was in a happy mood and Johnny Ace had even bought himself a new 1955 Oldsmobile just an hour earlier.
Johnny Ace was pointing the gun around the room, even at his girlfriend and another woman. He was told to be careful with it. Johnny Ace was cocky and laughed at the concern. He said that he knew which chamber was loaded and which was empty. He held the gun up to his head and said “It’s okay! Gun’s not loaded…see?” Unfortunately, what the people saw was the bullet entering the side of his head and killing the young singer. “Big Mama” Thornton then ran out of the room screaming that Johnny Ace had killed himself. Even though it was widely reported that Johnny Ace died during a game of Russian Roulette his bandmates and others at the scene state that no one was playing Russian Roulette.
The funeral for Johnny Ace was held on January 2nd, 1955. An estimated 5,000 people attended the funeral and the singer was buried in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. After his death, people clamored for his music and “Pledging My Love” was released after his death on February 12th, 1955. All of his singles were then released as a full album called The Johnny Ace Memorial Album.
I just looked through my albums and I just happen to own one of these Memorial Albums.
The song Massachusetts always brings a sad memory to my mind. I was listening to a music radio station one day in 1968 when the music was cut off and a voice came on and said "We interrupt this program for this special announcement, Robert Kennedy was just assassinated." After that they went back to the pre-recorded music program and the next song that came up was Massachusetts by the BG's. The song played for about 15 seconds and was immediately stopped. If you listen to the song you will see why it was totally inappropriate to be played at that time. I go back to that moment every time I hear that song.
The "clipboard" is a place in your computers memory where only 1 thing at a time can be stored for pasting somewhere. You put something in the "clipboard" whenever you copy something like a word or line of text or a picture or a link etc. Once you copy anything else it overwrites what's there. So if you copy something and then later copy something else, the first thing you copied is overwritten by the last thing you copied. Whatever you copy into the clipboard stays there until you copy over it or shut down the computer.
Really great song Miss C. I'm gonna show you how to post a video. First copy the link into your clipboard, then, if you look below this window you'll see a block that says [ YOUTUBE ] put the little hand on that and it will say "Insert Youtube Video" Left click on that and a window will come up with a blue bar with text in it. Put the arrow on that and Right click on it and select Paste, then OK That's it. The result is below. Hit Preview and there it is. Now I'm going to have to take a song off my list so I can add this one because it really belongs on a list of the 10 best songs ever produced.
The title of this thread is "The 10 BEST songs ever produced", Not The 10 most OBSCURE songs ever produced! While Al Jolson did have a beautiful voice and made some great recordings, that certainly wasn't 1 of them. If you want to hear a great Al Jolson song, listen to this.
BTW, Al Jolson has an uncanny resemblance the VA Governor Ralph Northam doesn't he? This observation goes a long way to explain a recent news event doesn't it?
Africa by Toto Come on Eileen by Dexy & the Midnight Runners Going up the Country by Canned Heat I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner Questions 67 and 68 by Chicago Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx She's a Rainbow by The Rolling Stones Superstition by Stevie Wonder Sympathy For the Devil by The Rolling Stones
Well, there it is, my list of the 10 best songs ever recorded. Honorable mention goes to Suite Judy Blue Eyes by Crosby Stills & Nash and For What it's Worth by Buffalo Springfield
I've lived in the following states NY NJ OH FL KY GA VA I've also made several cross country trips as well as up down the east coast numerous times. Visiting a state is a lot different from living in the state.
That was really special Karl, I kept trying to imagine a couple of little kids singing that song as I'm sure that is who those lovely voices belong to. Kids amaze me with their tight little vocal cords, they can hit high notes an adult can only dream of.
@ Lookin, They don't get more perfect than Bridge Over Troubled Waters by Simon & Garfunkle. @ Mustang I bought that Telstar album when it first came out. I played it til it was a pile of dust.
