You're A Big Hit

My friend Stiffy sent me this link to a web site that will tell you the number one song on the day you were born: http://www.joshhosler.biz/NumberOneInHistory/SelectMonth.htm.

Mine is "I Get Around" by the Beach Boys.

Round, round, get around, I get a round waist from sitting in the car for 4 hours a day.

Yes, that's my song.

I was hopping for a Beatle or a Beachboy or someboday like that....but mine is;
"Theme from a Summer Place" by Percy Faith
I thought I had never heard of it until I listened on U-tube, it's a common tune usually played by an orchestra. Really pretty, so I am not so bumbed.
Ellie, I think it was a movie, racking my brain here...but it WAS sung by the Flying Nun!

Thank you for stopping by and for the mention of the 80's photo Dykewife! My sister had wrist surgery but it was for a break. She took a spill on some ice.

I like that song Rubye Jean! That was played in the movie Animal House I think while they were in the supermarket stealing meat. Really, I'm not making that up.

We Can Work It Out - The Beatles

I must say I liked all of the songs for the first four decades and it would make a fabulous CD!

Hi Inidigo - thanks for visiting! I think it's interesting to see the references to all these songs, most of which I have heard, but none that I can really pin down what year they would have been popular.

The Ring, Part 2

Image
Up until last night, I thought I had tried everything. Dishwashing soap, dental floss, olive oil, two different kinds of hand lotion, ice, and Windex. I was just about to give up. However, my friends McMeaty and McCheesy were not. First came the WD-40 and lots of tugging. Standing over the kitchen sink, McMeaty gave it his all. Unfortunately the WD-40 not only lubed up my finger but his entire hand as well. No go there. Next came the dental floss. But the hand cream I had put on after the WD-40 only made the floss slip right off my finger without moving the ring. At this point, I had been sitting on the couch with my arm elevated for about ten minutes or so. This made the swelling go down quite a bit (thank you Chewy ). McMeaty was confident between the hand lotion and the reduction in swelling that another few pulls and twists would work. I sat on the couch, arm still elevated, while he patiently moved the ring up to my knuckle. Then wth a few more twists, turns, and tugging, the rin

Oops, I Did It Again

A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.

In my twenties, my then girlfriend and I used to think it was a riot to take pictures of ourselves doing really stupid things. Giving ourselves weird hairstyles, wearing goofy clothes, or putting things in our teeth really made us laugh. I found these pictures today. They were taken about twenty years ago in Boston. This one is particularly lovely, bra on the outside of my clothes,hair all twisted on top of my head, raisin in my teeth. And yes, I believe I am wearing a towel for pants. This one of me reminds me of a British rock star who says no, no, no to rehab (sorry Amy). Again, a beautiful sight to behold. And lastly, my ex, she who shall not be named. I have cropped out the top of her head because I think she would sue me if she saw I put her picture up here without her permission. She is the one who started all of this raisin in the teeth foolishness and this post would not be complete without her picture.
