Lorraine Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Everything. There are days I wonder why I ever bothered getting sober. And staying sober. This is one of them. What would we do without music to help out when all else fails? :) Edited November 8, 2019 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would we do without music to help out when all else fails? :)So true. Boize I could do without, but without music, life might seem unbearable. Hey, Lorraine, you should get a ukulele. They're cheap and easy to play. I suck at guitar, but on a uke I can play Cinnamon Girl, Let It Be, Hotel Cal and Stairway. Pretty much all I need to be happy. :P 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a band or what???? :codger: Whenever anyone mentions the uke, I always thing of that last scene in the movie Love With A Proper Stranger when Natalie Wood is walking out of Macys and she sees a crowd gathered around someone who has a sign that says "Better Wed Then Dead" and is playing the ukulele. It's Steve McQueen. Edited November 11, 2019 by Lorraine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leanne Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 One of my good friends from back home passed away early last week. I drove back home (2 hour drive) on Friday and stayed at my dad's and attended the funeral on Saturday. It was a beautiful memorial service. Plus I got to see friends I haven't seen in a long time and we all hung out Saturday night. I drove back today and I've been a little weepy off and on but I'm doing better. Plus I go back to work tomorrow and I think that will help alot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 It's been over a week since we had to put another one of our cats to sleep. Her mom Minnie left us in July, now Winky went to the Rainbow Bridge. She was a beautiful bicolor British Shorthair (like the guy in my sig but with white mixed with the dark blue). I still keep looking for her and it hits me again. I knew they were getting older (15 and 14 years old) and I would lose them but it always hurts so much. I don't care if I sound like a crazy cat lady but they were my fur babies and I love them still. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had 2 of ours leave over the years as well; it's hard. Hugs to you and your fur family! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 One of the neighborhood bucks, a young two-point, got hit and killed in front of our driveway around noon today. :( The driver, a woman of 70yo or so, wasn't injured, but her car was trashed.

invisible airwave Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I had no idea this guy hadn’t died until yesterday but he apparently died a few months ago. Remember movie critic Bill Harris? He looked like Ned Flanders with his mustache. Loved his interview segments on Showtime back in the day. He’s always close out his segments with “We’ll....talk again!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
