Well, you've read the notes, you were determined to be determined to read the notes at a time to be determined, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home, said time to be determined.

Disco was the soundtrack of my life during the second half of the '70's.

Let's have particulars.

Birthday wishes have been added to the notes - check 'em out.

The word of the day is: ONEROUS. Yes, onerous, a fine and noble and slightly onerous word.

Some stats: January 2005 - our biggest month ever.

Three of our biggest days ever occured during January.

We had over 9200 posts in the month of January, over 600 more than our previous best month, which was January 2004.

An amazingly amazing month. Onward and upward, say I.

Onerous, say I.

It's February...how did that happen?

George · « **Reply #7 on:** February 01, 2005, 12:17:45 AM »

Favorite 70s songs: literally anything by ABBA, Barry Manilow, Bette Midler or Donna Summer. That pretty much covers it (not including musicals).

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I've never heard of "Tim Moore’s Second Avenue."

I'm too tired to think right now and I have to get up much too early this morning for computer training at work (again) and again tomorrow (Wednesday) to bring my car in to get it serviced.

Good night all.

Morning all!

This has to be a quickie.

I just read over the posts I missed last night.

Thank you, DR Jrand for the web site address. When I changed computers, I didn’t have it. I need to burn a back up disk with my web favorites. I will do that tonight while it is on my mind.

DR Ben, thank you for the information about the Zoos. I just want to clear up one point in case I confused everyone. I am not staying at the Milford this time around. I’m at the Muse. I just thought it might be nice to try something different. It will give me a comparison for future trips.

If Michael Crawford comes to Broadway and Chitty is there I may make a very brief weekend trip up come fall--no promises on that!

Fireflys. I remember them when I was a kid. Then some stupid person let the love bugs go and they had to spray to get rid of them. Only one problem. The spray also killed off the fireflys (and who knows what else) as well. I haven’t seen one in years and I really miss them.

Happy Birthday DR’s Kerry and Donald!

Got to scoot! Have a good day all!

Danise · « **Reply #19 on:** February 01, 2005, 04:26:24 AM »

Good morning/evening/what ever time it is in your part of the world, DR Hisaka!! Sorry but I have to run.

Happiest of Birthdays to our own Donald and Kerry. And hugs to your respective dogs also.

It is onerous to sit here at 7:40 in the morning when I want to be back in bed. But it is supposed to be 40 degrees later in the day so I will do what I have to do, which includes going to a demonstration of a product that the Foundation Center uses (Foundation Directory On-Line) so that I can decide if I'm interested in perhaps being a back-up trainer for the product.

I now must go wash my cereal bow. I tried some new hot cereal today and was not impressed. It's called Whetena, toasted wheat cereal. I put in my raisins and a banana but it didn't help. I doubt that I will be eating Wheatena again. I was expecting something similar to oatmeal based on the picture on the cover of the box, but that's not what came out. It's unappetizing and now I feel like I have small nuggets of wheat all over. Oh, well, you live and learn.

Danise, the Muse, huh. I guess we will all have to come by your room to see the amenities.

Before I go, Hello Hisaka. Is Ground Hogs Day (which is tomorrow) celebrated in Japan? Do they have furry rodents that crawl out of a hole and predict weather for the next six weeks? Inquiring minds want to know?

I am off. Later, gaters

!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DRS KERRY AND DONALD!!!!

[/move]

DRPogue, I never heard of the book(s) you asked me about. I would have been intrigued by any that mentioned the name of my best friend John Hawkins, so I wish I'd come across it.

I forgot to mention the fireflies! Our neighborhood always had a plethora of them. I remember the lawn carpeted with little glowing lights on some summer nights, as my brother Tom and I ran around collecting them in Mason jars. During the summer days, we saw plenty of praying mantises, grasshoppers, gorgeous monarch butterflies, some flimsier yellow butterflies, and ladybugs. All that fauna certainly had died out of my neighborhood by the late 1970s.

Seventies songs: my last period of car ownership with my car radio tuned to Dayton's W-I-N-G. Between 1971 and 1979 I heard all the pop stuff, and now I can recall next to nothing. What can I dredge up?
Judy Collin - SEND IN THE CLOWNS
Firefall - YOU ARE THE WOMAN
Dave Loggins - PLEASE COME TO BOSTON
Don McLean - AMERICAN PIE
Don McLean - VINCENT
Cymarron - RINGS
Dr Hook and the Medecine Show - BALLAD OF LUCY JORDAN
Steve Goodman - THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS
Harry Chapin - TAXI
Harry Chapin - CATS IN THE CRADLE

DRJay, I looked at the Amazon.com listing, which is very sketchy. Yes, it's George London, Elizabeth Grummer, Emmy Loos, and Karl Bohm, and probably a live performance from the 1950s. I can find no record of a studio recording with that cast in the Metropolitan Opera Guide to Opera Recordings or Opera on Record by Alan Blyth.

vixmom · « **Reply #24 on:** February 01, 2005, 06:19:16 AM »

TOD:

Tumbleweed Connection album by Elton John
Turnstiles, and The Stranger Albums by Billy Joel
Ziggy Stardust by Bowie
Photographs & Memories _ Jim Croce
Anything by Harry Chapin, although I am probably unreasonably biased there, he lived in the neighboring town and was always here, there and everywhere doing free concerts and charity work, keepiong a little local theatre group alive, and I had the good fortune to see him several times. he died of a heart attack in his car on the dreaded Long Island Expressway on his way to a local concert

The song "Night Moves", although for the life of me, I cannot think of the artist's name

Steely Dan just about everything!!
Genesis
Dan Fogelberg
King Crimson
Moody Blues Nights in White Satin
Don MCClean -American Pie

I saw and mostly enjoyed MEDIUM last night, except I wish the writers would stop thinking that every episode must include her having a self righteous diatribe. "Oh, I cannot tell a lie, twas I saw the ghostie"

I also was annoyed that they had her acting like such a B**** about her husband working late a couple of nights when in the past three episodes she kept wandering in from work after everyone was in bed and it was quite clear SHE hadn't called " Oh, I lost track of time while fondling the jury questionaires"

I WANT to like this character, I want to like this show, so I hope the writing settles down a bit.. maybe some of our esteemed screenwriters here can get themselves involved and "fix their wagons!! " (just for you, Mrs. Kritzer)
