I came across this while searching for an old post, and had to bump it because it is GLORIOUS :wub:

A true original. :rose: This one really hurts :(

I adore the Who, like some of their new material and have loved every minute of the two gigs I've been to in the past 10 years but at this point the Who are very much a Who tribute act featuring Pete and Roger.

That's really beautiful. I'm assuming you took these pictures yourself? I took some last minute ones on the dying vines. Some of them came out very nice. I've been busy drying out the seeds and give them to others who live here, and to just some friends who might want to plant a sunflower for me next Spring. All the flower pictures I post are taken by either myself or my husband in our pollinator gardens, which we like to plant up in all the awkward parts of our property that aren't suitable for veg gardens or more formal landscaping. Growing pollinator-friendly plants has become an important and meaningful part of my year. I didn't get many sunflowers this year but here are some good ones from a few years ago: %20https%3A//live.staticflickr.com/65535/51597835371_b5559926d9_o_d.jpg %20https%3A//live.staticflickr.com/8523/29811119662_43282d471c_o_d.jpg I have already planned a space for sunflowers next year for you :hug2: Is it possible for me to send you the seeds from my sunflowers? The thought came to me today that you might like to plant them. Only questions are: will they think we are sending contraband drugs via the usps and, if not, what would be the best way to pack them up for you? I know they are going to ask what's in the package. Maybe my age is an asset as I smile sweetly and say, "Sunflower seeds!! from my garden for my friend to plant in her garden" What do you think? Lorraine, I have sent seeds through the mail many times, so I wouldn’t think it would be a problem. If you want to send me some and are comfortable with it, I’d welcome them! Either way, there will definitely be sunflowers at my house :hug2: Tell me how best to send them and I will do it. The worst that can happen is that the feds will descend upon this place to arrest a woman dying from cancer for sending sunflower seeds to a friend. Put the seeds into a paper envelope and then send that in a padded mailer. It really shouldn’t be a problem.

I almost always prefer live Rush to studio Rush. Most notable exception to that is The Spirit Of Radio.

"Beginnings" by Chicago, though the vocal repetition in that song is far less a sin than its endless drum coda.

I wasn't fussed by the absence of Facebook itself, but I was highly unsettled when I realised how many people I talk to every day on Facebook messenger programmes.

That's absolutely beautiful. Such a cute little diligent bee happily working away. I had a honey bee on one of the sunflowers but yellow on yellow didn't do well. And I am not a good photographer, even though the phone I have is supposed to be renowned for the great pictures it takes. You can barely see the bee. I love bees and grow many bee-friendly plants around my house. The secret to taking a really good picture of a bee in a flower is...take a zillion shots and hope the bee-buddy is in focus in one of them! Repeat until successful :lol:

Oops, sorry!

Lorraine, thank you for sharing your Hoboken memories. If you have any other NYC or New Jersey memories I'd love to hear them. I lived in NYC and NJ in the 60s and 70s but I was only little.

For a different take on that subject, I missed out on Rush when I was a teenager. Then I became a fan in my 40s and count myself very lucky that I made it in time for their late-career surge. I saw Rush live as often as I could between 2007 and 2015, loved every single one of those gigs and never regretted a penny spent on them. I'm deeply thankful they released concert videos and recordings from each of those tours because when I watch them they bring back happy memories of some of the best times I've had in my life. What grated on you continues to provide me with an on-demand source of joy and comfort, an excellent return on money long since spent and forgotten. Thank you, :rush: :wub:

Wot you reckon?

Let’s revisit a thread you made yourself, Lorraine! It’s chock full of goodies to smile over. http://www.therushfo...-fun-70s-songs/

It's my only bright spot of the week. I was going to go a few days during the week as well, but I cannot move as fast as I used to, and it takes me a long time to get myself together, so the morning Mass is out. The other Mass they have around noon isn't good because hospice nurses, social workers, chaplains, doctors like to come, for whatever reason, right around 11:30, or 1. All I do is pray all day really. I've lost interest in most everything else. I love to read, but my eyes just can't stay open long enough to read more than a paragraph or two. It's okay though. I lay on the couch and look at my gorgeous sunflowers with Tulora on my lap. The days have been sunny and on the warm side. I think about how grateful I am for all the people I've known in my life, and how grateful I am to Hospice, and how fortunate I am to have found the great seniors' place we live in. Today two very kind ladies brought us lunch. One even brought along a lovely potted plant. Both were obviously prepared with care and love, not just thrown together as some do. She even made a treat of home-made brownies for dessert. How grateful I am to them for their kindness. With so little kindness around anymore, I do so appreciate it when I am the recipient of it. I am very peaceful, and my heart is, believe it or not, full of joy. I'm finally going Home. :) Lorraine, that's beautiful, and I am glad that you have those peaceful feelings. :hug2:
