I’d ask you the same question I asked Cody but I kinda think you are a “closet hoarder”!

Do you have anything that you saved from when you were a young boy that you’re just not ready to part with?You know maybe it was your favorite stuffed animal, a Hot Wheels, an Etch-a-Sketch, maybe it was the ticket stub to the junior prom with that someone so special that you can’t get them out of your mind…….

It gripes the STUFF outta me to live in the United States and realize that MAJOR EMPLOYERS would consider hiring employees who are not capable of communicating with their customers. Shame on Walmart!

I kinda wonder whether you watched the short video. Apparently the “Undercover Boss” came through and terminated employment of the worker, WHY?, because he failed to offer assistance to Mr. Undercover Boss. When the heck has anyone been in a Walmart when associates approach the shopper to offer help and assistance?

Good for you!

I would suspect MANY OF US have shopped in Walmart, yes!? I can honestly say that I have NEVER been in close proximity to a Walmart associate where THEY ASK ME whether I need assistance. Heck, it was probably 2 years ago, while in Florida, that I wanted frozen lemonade concentrate and approached a Walmart associate who responded to my request for help with; “ No hablo inglés”

Celine Dion, I’M YOUR LADY

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your whole body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends WHEN I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The power of love, the power of love, the power of love
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The power of love oh
As I look into your eyes
The power of love
(The power of love)
The power of love

Green Day, WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up WHEN September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up WHEN September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up WHEN September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up WHEN September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did WHEN spring began
Wake me up WHEN September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up WHEN September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up WHEN September ends
Like my father's come to pass
20 years has gone so fast
Wake me up WHEN September ends
Wake me up WHEN September ends
Wake me up WHEN September ends

The Doors, WHEN THE MUSIC’S OVER

Yeah, c'mon

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection
Send my credentials to the house of detention
I got some friends inside
The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends, alive she cried
Waitin' for me
Outside
Before I sink
Into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly
Come back, baby, back into my arm
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound
Very near yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today
What have they done to the earth, yeah?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn and
Tied her with fences and dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it (we want the world and we want it!)
Now
Now?
Now!
Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us
Jesus
Save us!
So WHEN the music's over

WHEN the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Well the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend

For the record, today is July 29, 2025 and for those of you who may be curious, member +_dem[o]nXer_+ was last on the site 9 days ago. Did he happen to stop by your page and say “hello”?

WOW, THAT’s CRAZY! I understand their father’s “wishes” but how can his children take his wishes so literally!?

I took my car to a collision shop for an estimate, $505.25 and my appointment is for September 2.

So much STUFF on YouTube is about the death of Ozzy Osbourne. Apparently, there’s some thought that his spouse, Sharon, wants to bury him in their “garden” because she wants to keep him near. My guess is their “estate”’sits on a good deal of land so it’s not a matter that his final resting place is smack dab under the bedroom window or somewhere next to the garage. Princess Diana was interred on family property and so was Elvis.

I Google’d this about burial in the United States;

“In most U.S. states, burying a body on private property is technically legal, meaning there aren't specific state laws prohibiting it, but local regulations and zoning laws often create significant hurdles. These local rules can dictate burial depth, distance from water sources, and other factors. Additionally, even if state law allows it, you may still need to involve a funeral director and obtain permits for burial and transportation.”

My opinion is that there was nothing legally wrong with how the mailbox was placed HOWEVER it was not up to Jerry to move Don’s mailbox, Jerry’s decision to undertake this project was done at a time when the house was for sale and MY GUESS is that Jerry wanted things a certain way before there were new owners. The owner, at the time, a long time resident, was in assisted living, a life of excessive drinking couple that with the onset of dementia and she couldn’t live there alone anymore. The house was being prepared for sale and Jerry figured that he could slip in and orchestrate a change. The funny thing is, he’s not a full time resident, he’s only here seasonally.

As I mentioned, there was a period of time that the house was for sale and one of the BIG projects getting done was having a steel seawall installed (at the time there was only a wooden seawall). So as you might imagine, there was a great deal of work being done with lots of earth/dirt being moved. Jerry, an odd and entitled kinda guy, moves dirt out of what eventually becomes Don’s property and over to his making his (Jerry’s) property higher than others to avoid any flooding and/or standing water. Jerry is a gem!

FORGET YOU! It wasn’t even my mailbox, it is my neighbors! Yeah, picture this, if you were standing at the road, everyone’s mailbox is on the left side near their driveway but understand that the patch of grass is predominantly his neighbors and also my neighbors. So about 5 years ago Jerry decided he didn’t want Don’s mailbox there, perhaps it was easier for him to maintain/cut his grass without the mailbox there so he pulled it out of the ground and cemented it in the ground on the right side of Don’s property and probably only 4” to 6” asay from my mailbox.

99.9% of the time when I park/back into my driveway, my car is facing west and tonight I was facing east and the way Jerry fixed Don’s mailbox into the ground, his mailbox is not “even Steven” with mine, it’s about 2” closer to the road. Bottom line, I DIDN’T PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE MY FRONT END WAS!

The word for Tuesday, July 29, WHEN

It was a good day, it was a bad day…….

I had a wonderful lunch, yep, I had a coney dog with EVERYTHING! A delicious natural casing weiner on a steamed bun, loaded with hot dog chili, chopped onions followed with the right amount of yellow mustard! Everything was in proper proportion! For dinner tonight, I had a fattoush. Beautiful greens, thinly sliced Persian cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, garnished with bite sized pieces of fried bread of some sort and tossed in olive oil and the juice of fresh lemon! Yep, I was in “HOG HEAVEN” today as far as my meals went, and then I came home and put a scratch in my car that’s about 12” to 16” long because I pulled too close to the mailbox!

Gary Lewis & The Playboys, THIS DIAMOND RING

Who wants to buy this diamond RING?
She took it off her finger, now it doesn't mean a thing
This diamond RING doesn't shine for me anymore
And this diamond RING doesn't mean what it did before

This stone is genuine like love should be
And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me
This diamond RING can be something beautiful
And this diamond RING can be dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did
If there's love behind it
This diamond RING can mean something beautiful
And this diamond RING can be dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did

And this diamond RING doesn't mean what it did before
So if you've got someone whose love is true
Let it shine for you

Yes, I’m okay, thank you for your concern!

Traverse City is north and on the west side of the state and I’m in southeastern Michigan! What kinda wack-job uses a “folding knife” to wreak havoc? By the way, I have a Walmart+ membership, I think that’s what it is called. I can and have placed orders and then they’re delivered to me. The Walmart closest to me is approximately 20 miles away from me. My last order was like the super large package of Cottonelle toilet tissue, a 7lb bag of Purina One kitten food, a large roll of heavy duty aluminum foil and package of E.L.Fudge cookies. 😀

God bless you, GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Rod Stewart, REASON TO BELIEVE

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it HARD to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it HARD to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
Someone like you makes it HARD to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself, woo
Someone like you makes it HARD to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
Someone like you makes it HARD to live without
Somebody else

Rod Stewart, YOU WEAR IT WELL

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota
Hell it's been a very long time
You wear it well
A little old fashioned but that's all right
Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me
Oh, I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know that you wear it well
There ain't a lady in the land so fine
Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate
The all day rock and roll shows
Them homesick blues and radical views
Haven't left a mark on you, you wear it well
A little out of time but I don't mind
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
Tryin' to get a letter through
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
When you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth
You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you
Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
That I gotta get back to work
So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
Think of me and try not to laugh and I wear it well
I don't object if you call collect
'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get back to you
After all the years I hope it's the same address
Since you've been gone it's HARD to carry on

The Beatles, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET

You'll never know how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care
Listen
Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to TELL?
Whoa, oh, oh
Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh
Listen
Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to TELL?
Whoa, oh, oh
Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've known a secret for a week or two
Nobody knows, just we two
Listen
Do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to TELL
Whoa, oh, oh
Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh

Billy Joel, TELL HER ABOUT IT


Listen boy I don't want to see you let a good thing slip away
You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made

She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't TELL you what you should do

Oh, listen boy I'm sure that you think you got it all under control
You don't want somebody TELLING you the way to stay in someone's soul

You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know

TELL her about it, TELL her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real

TELL her about it, TELL her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means

Listen boy it's not automatically a certain guarantee
To ensure yourself you've got to provide communication constantly

When you love someone, you're always insecure
And there's only one good way to reassure

Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you, tell her you wish you were there
TELL her about it, every day before you leave
Pay her some attention, give her something to believe

Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken for so long
And though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone?

Listen boy it's good information from a man who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you could be the difference that it makes

She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't TELL you what you should do

TELL her about it, TELL her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
TELL her about it, TELL her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means

Tell her about it, TELL her how you feel right now
Just tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
You got to TELL her about it, TELL her now and you won't go wrong
You got to TELL her about it, before it gets too late
You've got to TELL her about it
You know the girl don't want to wait
You got to TELL her about it
You got to TELL, TELL, TELL her about it
Now, TELL her about it

Oh, are you someone who will “take one for the team”?
