REO Speedwagon, TAKE IT ON THE RUN

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' AROUND
They say you got a boyfriend
You're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you AROUND
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run

You're thinking up your white lies
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you're coming home but you won't say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you AROUND
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run

Take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you AROUND
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run

Take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you AROUND
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around

The Troggs, LOVE IS ALL AROUND

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
Well love is all AROUND me, and so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me, come on and let it show

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

I see your face before me as I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking, of all the things you said
You gave your promise to me, and I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me in everything I do

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me, come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show

This is NOT questionable, the guy is spot on!

So odd…. Out of the blue I received a gift from someone that I never interacted with and what makes it more peculiar, I could not personally thank them because they do not accept messages from anyone other than their “friends”!

Initially I thought you had praised me with an “atta girl” and then I followed the arrow…..

Rod Stewart, RHYTHM OF MY HEART

Across the street, the river runs
Down in the gutter, life is slipping away
Let me still exist, in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade
Flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere, someway
Where they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away

Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing

Photographs and kerosene
Light up my darkness
Light it up! Light it up!
I can still feel the touch
Of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby
Oh, baby

Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing
I will

Oh, I've got lightning in my veins
Shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
No expression on my face

Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
The RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
Ooh, hoo-hoo, ooh

Are you invited to a Halloween party and need an idea for a costume? Enjoy!

Don Henley, THE BOYS OF SUMMER

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home

But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walking real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone

Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone

A young boy, huh? That was a few years ago and your gallery of photos is a testament that you’re no longer shy!

My “little sister” is 20 months younger than me. When we would go to the doctor, a hundred years ago, we had this pact that we “WOULDN’T”. We wouldn’t cry, we wouldn’t wiggle, we wouldn’t misbehave and since we went into the room together, there was no way to be deceptive.

It’s been many years since then and I honestly DO NOT like needles. I have to look away, the phlebotomist and/or whoever is administering the injection, is a witness to my anxiety and sometimes tears. I never would have been able to be a needle using drug taker…..

It was 24 years ago today, that terrorists attacked our country. Thousands of people died and thousands more were injured. A sad, sad day in history, for sure.

I’m glad that you found the video humorous however the fear of needles is for real, just ask me!

I’m glad that I’m not the only person that is afraid of needles!

Thank you for your kind AND WISE words.

Yes, you are correct, it bothered me that this man standing no more than 3 feet away from me, seemed to bother me and my senses. As an f.y.i., I am enrolled in a cardio drumming class and the instructor is a very butch female. Throughout my years of living and working, I have encountered a number of super butch women and I did not stare OR “analyze” them with the same intensity as this man. My actions bothered me.

Maybe you are spot on with regard to what you call it, my brain experienced an “error message”. Whatever it was, I didn’t like it, again, I thank you for your kind and wise words.

Looks like Ken31234 has gone AWOL!

This is the “other” murder captured on video that Misha made reference to…..the young woman from Ukraine.

The word for Thursday, September 11, CELEBRATE (or any variation of the word)

I recognize that it’s not unusual for folks to say “prayers to so-and-so’s family” however what is happening almost everyday needs immediate attention. We need to pray for our country, our people, pray that VIOLENCE STOPS NOW!

I like this guy and I subscribe to Yourbestiemishsa on YouTube

Yeah, I’m a dinosaur….

The color of hair doesn’t bother me, hair color is changeable.

I will “admit” to this, I’m not keen about too many tattoos OR piercings, either. Regarding piercings, sometimes both guys and girls go too far with piercing their face. If he wants to pierce his scrotum, have at it. If she wants to pierce her nipples, oh well, I don’t care. Now tattoos are another matter. On the face, in my opinion, not good, kind of a scary look. A sleeve, full sleeve on a man is kinda sexy. A sleeve/full sleeve on a woman, not so much…..

And another super tune! 👍

Rock on, Dougal, rock on! 🤘

I ❤️ this tune!

The issue that I have is ME. I’m not sure that I can explain it in a way that you or anyone else could understand, why should this bother me?

Out of one side of my mouth I say that I’m happy he’s living his authentic life and being his authentic self, yet it bothered me. Perhaps it’s that mentality, MY MENTALITY of; not with me, not in/with my family, not in my life, not in my town, this only happens to someone else, this only happens somewhere else…… Does that kinda make sense? I probably would not think twice if I experienced it in California or New York City, but not in my town. I would like to think that I am open minded but apparently I am not and that bothers me a great deal.

Hi!

You are a longtime member and have created a number of threads anticipating that they might spark interest and invoke a deeper discussion. It seems as though your efforts have gone unnoticed. May I offer a suggestion? Why not join a dedicated group geared toward the “porn” industry? I found this established group that you might be interested in.

/groups.php?id=3238


Best wishes!

So I live in a small town, a beautiful little town that comes to life in the summer when the folks with boats dock here on the St Clair River! Yeah, nothing here except lots of water a background for beautiful landscape…… Again, my town is small, it’s not unusual to be in Kroger, local hardware store, on a walk or bicycle ride and bump into someone you know, a “local”.

Perhaps y’all have heard me say that I enjoy McDonald’s iced tea, IF NOT, I DO! So today I pop into my local McDonald’s to purchase and enjoy an iced tea after my 3 mile-ish walk. Just another average day in small town Michigan…… What wasn’t “average” was that I happened to be in line behind a man who apparently identified today as being a woman. How did I come to this conclusion? The masculine voice, the larger feet, the leg hair all screamed “MAN” however the purse as well as the silhouette of the bra appearing through his tight tee-shirt and the massive “lady humps” that the bra held were an attempt to present him as a “female”. In one respect, I applaud him for living his authentic life however it bothers ME that I recognize that I am left confused and bothered.

There’s a guy in one of the groups that I moderate who used to constantly post internet pics. One day someone made a comment on how wonderful and exciting his subject matter was and basically asked him to post more, more, more……. I responded to his admirer that all he needed to do was surf the internet and he would find more of her. The guy hasn’t really posted anymore internet pics in this group. Unfortunately, sometimes folks don’t know when enough is enough….

I attempted to convey what you succinctly said….. that internet pics could possibly dominate the main page(s) and win photo contests.

With regard to creating a specific INTERNET category, I kinda believe that admin really does not want that. This was established as an amateur site and my guess is that he’s hoping that it remains an amateur site.

What I have a difficult time with are the verified members that post internet pics. I don’t give a rat’s ass that they don’t “claim ownership”, I just feel that verified members should be the example and set the example.

By the way, my friends were saying that the weather in LaBelle has been high 80’s, low 90’s but raining…… I’m waiting for tornado season to come and go and then I will make my way to Florida.

Your garage is big enough/ventilated well enough to allow you to do painting? NICE!

Why are you laughing? Cody8789 failed to mention that the $3.15 was not U.S. dollars, his calculations were converted to Canadian currency!

I do not play the lottery and with that said, I don’t really follow the lottery. Thanks for the update, I was not aware that the jackpot had been won! Only two winning tickets, eh? The winners are in Texas and Missouri, eh? Even splitting the winnings, each ticket holder is going to receive more money than they will ever need in their life! Can you imagine receiving $410MILLION dollars? Like I said, I would be over the money with 5 to 10 MILLION

I hear you with regard to people/outsiders talking smack about things that may not concern them. On a personal level, when I was a kid, I remember being upset with my mother and father for whatever the reason. My sisters were a “problem”, too. I would spout off about whatever but dammit, DONT YOU SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT MY FAMILY OR IM COMING AFTER YOU! That seems to fit this situation regarding politics.

I kinda feel that this saying fits this issue. I believe that it is;

If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem.


Why point the finger and insinuate that it is “his” fault or “her” fault. Using that logic, when “you” join in, then “you” become part of fault. In this situation perhaps if you choose to ignore the post or the poster, soon they may choose to go a different route.

And second job to keep the dog fed? No, a second job to buy the backhoe needed as a pooper scooper!

I knew Great Danes are large but there were a couple of breeds in there that I could not identify and have no idea what they are. Can you imagine one of those being a trained police K-9 partner? Who needs to train German Shepherds or the Belgian Malinois? Can you imagine one of those things charging in after you? They are the size of a Mini Cooper…….me, I would shit bricks and surrender immediately!

So you are attempting to justify POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS? Hmmmmm….

Since I brought up the matter of the two longtime members that were recently deleted by the Evaluation Panel, I’m going to speak specifically about them.

The 8 year member spoke about sex in her bio and apparently that was deemed offensive OR illegal by the reporting member. REALLY? So the frick what! That’s kinda like the members that were reported for deletion because they posted pictures that featured marijuana plants. If “we” are no more than the “morality police” who are so easily offended, perhaps we are on the wrong site. As far as “sexually pleasing”, you want to know what I don’t understand? Too bad, I’m going to tell you……BDSM, pissing one’s self, golden showers, etc. Let’s get rid of those types of members. Have they broken any laws? Have they breached site guidelines? NO! So I just move along. So with respect to the female member that said something in her bio about “that will cost you”, who knows, maybe she is or was a sex worker in Amsterdam that sits in a window who is advertising herself, available for sex. Just my opinion, she never should have been deleted for something as weak as that. Unfortunately the highly moral and astute voting members are NOT consistently applying their moral values for all situations.

Regarding the 15 year member that went POOF! Was he really “self harming” himself or was his 12 year old picture a “fantasy” picture? I don’t know! And since the member had not been online in over 30 days, I went directly to admin and explained what was going on and he made the decision to delete the reported pictures. Did that stop the member from being deleted? Heck no, there were 2 additional NINNYHAMMER voting members that apparently lacked “common sense” that proceeded to vote to delete because “Susie” reported it so it must be so……. That’s the thing that I’ve noticed with the Evaluation Panel voters, there is absolutely no forgiveness. There seems to be the mentality of, “You broke the rules as I know them and even though the offense was remedied, no soup for you, you are outta here!”.

Look at the size of these dogs! Can you even begin to imagine what is involved in the backyard clean up!? Oi!

Billy Joel, THE RIVER OF DREAMS

IN the middle of the night
I go walking IN my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for

IN the middle of the night
I go walking IN my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

IN the middle of the night
I go walking IN my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
IN the middle of the night

I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
IN the middle of the night
I go walking IN my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
IN the middle of the night

What, no Blondie!?

Nice choice!

Hey, Cody, were you aware that admin has weighed in on members posting internet pictures?

It is my understanding that this site was established with the intent that the run of the mill, average person would post their original amateur content. I don’t believe that it was his intention that SHOW YOUR DICK or SHOW YOUR PUSSY would ever be a site that would become a site to repost commercial internet pictures.

A hundred years ago, there were members that were keen on searching for and reporting any members that posted OR SENT (via private conversations) internet pictures. I know, I for one, debated with the voting members involved in the EVALUATION PANEL regarding the deletion of members that indeed posted internet pictures. There are two types of members that will post internet pictures, 1) there’s the member that is attempting to deceive the membership and 2) there’s the member that posts to pay homage. I believe that admin clarified his position regarding internet pics some time ago and my takeaway was this;

• an OCCASIONAL pic would be acceptable as long as the posting member did not claim ownership. Example, I could post an internet picture of “so-and-so” and possibly say, “she has the best boobs”, “love the girth of his cock” I could NOT claim this picture as a photo of “my boyfriend/girlfriend/fuck buddy, etc”. Prior to pressing the upload option, admin has some verbiage that addresses ownership of said picture.

• it is MY UNDERSTANDING that admin prefers that new members/new profiles begin their relationship with SHOWITOFF.org by following the site guidelines by posting their original and amateur content .

Although I understand your point of view regarding internet pics, I kinda wonder what the mindset of the member is. Here are a couple of examples, photo contests and what about the member that uploads internet content with the intent to deceive the membership whether it be a male or female behind the screen.

Forgive me for bringing this up in THIS thread, YOUR thread, recently there were two EVALUATION PANEL deletions involving an 8 year member and a 15 year member. Those members were not deleted because of internet pics, they were deleted because of the fricken IGNORANT, “SNOW FLAKE”, NINNYHAMMER voters lacked “common sense”. In my opinion, admin should allow members to report and delete members for being MORONS!

Is it a possibility that what might be “clogging up the bandwidth” of this site is all the discussions geared toward United States politics? Hmmmmm?

The word for Monday, September 8, IN
