Oh to be young again. If you only knew.....
 

 
SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH
a poem by Beatrice Boyle, USA
 
 
I have seen spring’s awakening
And basked in summer’s sun
I have watched in awe
As autumn’s colors softly sprung
Now that winter’s here
Amid the softly falling snow
I mourn for the beauty
That was lost so long ago.
 
Oh sweet bird of youth
You lavished me with your love
Whispering sweet nothings
Under twinkling stars above
You led me to believe
I’d spend eternity with you
Then without a warning
You disappeared from view!
 
Down through the years
I have searched for you in vain
All I have are memories
Of you that remain
Now, most of my songs
Have been sung
But I cling to the melody
Of when we were young

Well Dahlin, you can fuck that bullshit. And if by remake, you mean a face lift, well that is being considered......as to the rest of it, I'm right with the Lord, and I plan on leaving this world with a smile on my face.
 
P.S. Seriously for a moment. I applaud your life and all that you have done to better the lives of those that could not do for themselves. You are to be commended.

I was never bright enough, focused enough, nor aware enough to make any such contribution, but in my own small way, I would like to think that I made a difference in the lives of those around me, and that I am leaving this world just a little bit better than I found it... If after I am gone, on some warm and cloudless summer day, someone that I had an acquaintance with, happens to remember me, and that memory brings a smile to their face, then that alone will suffice for me, and I will consider it a life well lived...cheers

For me...#19
19. Because if you could write a letter to one of those friends who died of AIDS-related complications, and said you were going through a midlife crisis, how do you think he’d respond? Love every minute of this, for him, for them, for us
 
And because I started partying when I was 40, and I haven't stopped yet. They're going to bury me in my red dress, white pearls and six inch pumps.

In memoriam: Franklyn Bruce Modell (6 September 1917 – 27 May 2016)

Ok no...but I can understand why some would think that.

The Archies Sugar Sugar i dare you to listen all the way through and then try to get the tune out of your head. It has been rattling around in the large empty spaces of my brain for 47 years.
Love me some Reggie and Moose (not pictured)

Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
 
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
 
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
 
Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock
 
And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
 
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
 
And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall
 
Like a rock. standin' arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin' from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' the weight
Like a rock
 
Like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock

 
 

I was riding my bike one day and, lo and behold, there was a Playgirl magazine on the sidewalk - tattered, torn and had been rained on. But OMG - it was a gift from heaven above for this once 13 yo who couldn't decide between guys or girls.
 
The issue with Peter Lupus from Mission Impossible. Greek, ahhhh........

I hid it in an elderly neighbor's garden house and I did yard work for her..........sometime. Usually I made excuses to visit MY magazine. Can't even say how many times I came ALL over that floor.

The NYT does some good reporting here, but here's something that's always annoyed me about the NYT's style.
 
Why does it always have to over-weight the negative on health stories, even ones about developments that are clearly positive? Now that Cahill has regained the weight, they can say he "looks as handsome as a model" after he lost it. But if they had interviewed him right after the show, they would have written something like, "Cahill looks like a model at first glance. But look at him a moment longer and it's clear that, while he's glowing and happy, he looks a little deflated, more like a balloon that's had some air let out."
 
In fact, the problem is more general: NYT stories about any sort of change usually end with with some quote about how the status quo still stands. I'm too lazy to find examples, but I'm surprised that Twitter (other than Bernie supporters et al.) hasn't seized on this. Let's use weight maintenance as an example again. If a true magic diet pill is ever discovered, you can bet the NYT's story will end with a quote from some doctor who will say, "Fads come and go, but nothing will ever work like the old fashioned way."

Actually it does. Wise choice if you enjoy soda to cut out the sugar and order Diet, although all the other unpronounceable chemicals will most likely Kill you.
