Las Vegas. Live, Die suffer slowly or Happy Days?

I have thought about visiting Las Vegas in looking for a place to possibly buy a home and live. I have had some good and bad input. Maybe some people that actually have lived there or still do would be so kind to share their experience or ????? Things like the seasons, the water you drink, the general pulse of living there vs the tourism. I am not looking to be a tourist and I don't have any desire to be a gambler. Crime is an issue but is it worse in some places, do they build Basements in the houses there? LOL. That is some of the things that go through my mind. Thanks for sharing.

A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It's nearly 1 a.m. and here am I
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home by the morning light

I got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drownin' in the pouring rain
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Long distance call, I got today
She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home, keep her satisfied

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Oh, won't somebody stop and help a guy?
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Been away too long from my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride

"Stop draggin' my heart around"
Written by: Tom Petty and Mike Campbell

Baby, you'll come knocking on my front door
Same old line you used to use before
I said yeah well, what am I supposed to do
I didn't know what I was getting into

So you've had a little trouble in town
Now you're keeping some demon down
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my heart around

It's hard to think about what you've wanted
It's hard to think about what you've lost
This doesn't have to be the big get even
This doesn't have to be anything at all

I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to be your own girl

Baby, you could never look me in the eye
Yeah, you buckle with the weight of the words
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my heart around

There's people running 'round loose in the world
Ain't got nothin' better to do
Than make a meal of some bright eyed kid
You need someone looking after you

I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to be your own girl

Baby, you could never look me in the eye
Yeah, you buckle with the weight of the words
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my heart around
Duet version here with two Great Musicians and great band.

"Even the Losers" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from the album Damn the Torpedoes released in 1979.

Lyrics:
Well, it was nearly all summer we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
And I'd show you stars you never could see
Baby, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me

Baby, time means nothing, anything seemed real
Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
Like every word you said was meant to be
No, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

Two cars parked on the overpass
Rocks hit the water like broken glass
I should have known right then it was too good to last
God, it's such a drag when you're livin' in the past

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes

Desert is always best to not share alone.

RE: What foods must go together?

What's the problem Sally Jo??

RE: EARRINGS IN MEN

too funny, almost word for word of those South Park Goth kids! LOL. Don't mistake, I am sure it is your own words but that is what makes it that much funnier!!

RE: EARRINGS IN MEN

I started with one ear pierced about 40 years ago. I added just a few more later in the years and then went with a bit larger gauge. I don't give it much thought and if I choose I take them out. If I am Sparing in a formal Dojang or competing I would remove all jewelry so I don't lose a body part.
Of course there are always going to be people that will never understand these things. Even being a straight hairdresser here on this site in this day and age you would think that would be no big deal. NOPE, there is ignorant people that are from all parts of the world and stereotypes run deep. I doubt that people will ever totally lose the preconceived notions embedded in so very many. So I just say deal with it.
But these fotos that I have seen posted here are obviously ultra extreme and the tribal deal on the one. If I worried about the way people thought I should be, or my hair length, then I would have no backbone. I am who I am and those that don't care for it or judge me because of it I would see as pretty shallow. But some live and let live without whispering in the background, some can't help themselves, and that in itself is quite ugly in my opinion.

RE: Do you buy bottled water and drink it on a daily basis?

And remember to bring a towel. And some cats are not as innocent as they seem. If you spray your cat with a mix of 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 2 cups water you can usually get the stain out. If you want to add a "fizzing" agent just open a box of Sodium Bicarbonate and add a few teaspoons.

Or: " Does your pet drink from the toilet then give you cute little kisses and licks while secretly laughing all the way to the cat box"?

Happy Birthday "Annoying" ;-}

Some Birthdays just go on and on and on and on.

RE: I'm seeing RED about this

I did not know the issue was rearing it's head on the tv programs like that.

$500: William McKinley
$1,000: Grover Cleveland
$5,000: James Madison
$10,000: Salmon P. Chase
$100,000: Woodrow Wilson
( This is the way it should still be )

I know that when they took the larger denomination currencies out of circulation by 1969 and it was a process over quite some years.
I think it is odd that where the Dollar is worth less that you have to really carry a large wallet or suitcase to have cash, It is control over cash business. I remember my Mother attempting to buy a car with cash like my stepfather always did and they explained that it was not possible here in Oregon any more. At least not over a certain amount. Just the feds taking note of who has what and where it goes. I also agree that taking care of our own money and property should not be any bodies business but our own nor make us a criminal.
Good point Rohaan.

Happy Birthday "Annoying" ;-}

RE: Amanda Knox to face re-trial

Hi Tom, I truly know nothing except the very small part I read concerning the Italian Justice. I did not mean to come on too strong. I think my main point to some readers was to make sure they saw that it was not a USA court. I have to admit that if I had been somewhere and already went through all that and then came home after they said it was ok....well I would not be so eager to return. It is not something that I had followed at the time it happened so I was just reading what I could find about it now since this thread.
Cheers.

RE: americans full of them selves

I Have Met a few pretty nice people from the USA. Probably good and bad no matter where one might be.

RE: Abort or not

Meant to say in writing.

RE: Abort or not

you know Tom, the crazy thing is that there is also a lot of wild cards that don't even make sense. I was a witness for a mother , a close relative of mine. The father a deadbeat and sadly the judge that was appointed for the last 10 plus years that is known for having a special place in her heart for her own. Simply buried the mother and hit her with a 50,000 debt to be paid to the father. They were never even married and because no one got things like loans from my family to this deadbeat it was hearsay. He even did it to one if not two woman after that and had another child. omg, you would be a happy man to kick this one square in the yarbles. At the end of every hearing that judge, still residing and she has teeth. She states for and to the record that no one shall move or attempt to challenge her ownership of this case. It is amazing. Quite sad when you see it first hand. This is totally ont of the norm though. If I did not know better I would think there was some strange jealousy thing going on but if there is than wow, that is just a passing thing. No personal contact whatsoever.
