Liny, this is a M building site, and this is the Idiot thread of that site. Are you rebuilding your M? Are you an Idiot?

Now get your sh1t together, and get back here.

How is your stress level? I'm guessing if you cleaned your closet, it would be greatly reduced, you Idiot!!!

I'm here for you, but I will hold you accountable!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" />

Nice to see you, Funny Man. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Oh, please NG, I'm not kissing nothin.

And Brown being funnier, is always intended. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

KY: Kimmy's right (I heard the smooching noise).

Hi LINY.

Glad you're back but leave the funny to brown!!

And stop with the potential "dramatic exit lines"...

We've had too much of that in the past week!

liny - Welcome back to Idiotville. We missed you. We will pat you on the head and coddle you here, cuz we're the idiots of MB.

Good to have you back!

Today's song (one of my favs to sing to the babies):

Jackie left on a cold, dark night
Telling me he'd be home
Sailed the seas for a hundred years
Leaving me all alone
And I've been dead for twenty years
I've been washing the sand
With my ghostly tears
Searching the shores for my Jackie-oh

I remember the day the young man came
He said, "your Jackie's gone
We got lost in the rain"
And I ran to the beach
And laid me down

"You're all wrong", I said
And they stared at the sand
"That man knows that sea
Like the back of his hand
He'll be back some time
laughing at you"

And I've been waiting all this time
For my man to come
Take his hand in mine
And lead me away
To unseen shores

I've been washing the sand
With my salty tears
Searching the shore
For these long years
And I'll walk the seas forever more
Till I find my Jackie oh
Till I find my Jackie oh
Till I find my Jackie oh
Jackie oh
Jackie oh
Jackie oh


BTW: The white pelicans are back for the winter. They are so beautiful.

My little girl would have nightmares if I sang her that song NG <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

You southerners sure are a morbid lot, aren't ya?


Hey KY, don't encourage them with the middle finger thing, they'll find a way to post that you know, (especially potty mouth Linny!)


Hey WO, how goes it?

Actually, Weaver, it's sang more Irish Ballad style....like this:

Farewell to Tarwathie
Adieu Mormond Hill
And the dear land of Crimmond
I bid you farewell
I'm bound off for Greenland
And ready to sail
In hopes to find riches
In hunting the whale

Farewell to my comrades
For a while we must part
And likewise the dear lass
Who first won my heart
The cold coast of Greenland
My love will not chill
And the longer my absence
More loving she'll feel

Our ship is well rigged
And she's ready to sail
The crew they are anxious
To follow the whale
Where the icebergs do float
And the stormy winds blow
Where the land and the ocean
Is covered with snow

The cold coast of Greenland
Is barren and bare
No see time nor harvest
Is ever known there
And the birds here sing sweetly
In mountain and dale
But there's no bird in Greenland
To sing to the whale

There is no habitation
For a man to live there
And the king of that country
Is the fierce Greenland bear
And there'll be no temptation
To tarry long there
With our ship under full
We will homeward repair

Farewell to Tarwathie
Adieu Mormond Hill
And the dear land of Crimmond
I bid you farewell
I'm bound off for Greenland
And ready to sail
In hopes to find riches
In hunting the whale

Both are very lilting and sweetly sung. I find the kids don't really hear the words, they just feel the love...kwim?

This is the last lullaby song I'll share with you all tonight, but I'm planning on singing all three to the babies tonight because it makes ME feel good to croon them to them:

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror to your soul
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

Nighty night.

WHERE do you come up with all this stuff, Kimmy? I swear your head must be overflowing with all the stuff you got in it!

I'm serious, your head just amazes me!

And I ain't trying to lick ya up or anything, but you are one interesting girl!

I will say they do grow 'em smart way down there in the south. Probably all that sunshine, eh?

And to you KY,

You may have gotten the 500th post in idiotville, but I got more overall posts than you do, and we registered at the same time!

NAYNAYNAYNAYBOOBOO

Hey, how are the Northern lights?

Truthfully, I'm a smartass from a long line of smartasses.

Honestly, tho...I'm descended from 3 brothers who came over from Scotland. All 3 started across the US with Cali in sight. 1 made it...the other two got hooked on 'shine in the Appalachains - there used to be stories of their horse and wagon turning up a few days after a binge drinkin', and the townsfolk would just send someone out lookin' for em (learned that one from a family reunion story).

Read any of the FoxFire books (very informative and good reads) - they explain mountian folk, and the people in there could be my next o'kin for all I know.

As for the songs - the first is from Sinead O'Conner, the second is an old Judy Collins song, and the third is Leonard Cohan (but has been sung by Judy Collins). My mom and dad had very diverse musical interests (as is apparent when I visit and the Gregorian chants are playing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> -those little guys eyes are rolling because the chants are pretty for about 10-15 min, then you just want to stick a pencil in your eye to make them stop ). My personal favs will always be the Irish Ballads (Johnny Cash notwithstanding and nowhere in the same genre, GC - NO ONE will ever take his place in my heart <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> ) I'm one of the few here (after a green beer or 3) who can get up and sing all of Danny Boy....not that's it a hard song to remember....but you kwim? It's just....um....touched me....like my soul knows it...you ken?

- Kimmy

KY - No haven't been able to see the northern lights. It's been really freaky up here though, the days have been dark as night and the nights have been black as death. It's really starting to freak me out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

And yes they teach math up here but they do it with beer can sizes and keg conversions. I don't drink beer so I guess I missed out.

And don't just pick on us, Wisconsin is way worse if you know what I mean. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Did you see Escanaba in de Moonlight, KY. The bar scene in that movie about knocked me out of my chair, it is soooo right on about up here. Disgusting! I can't wait until Paige graduates, we're out of here then, and she ditto's that!

NG -

I am going to check out those books, I love mountain lore and stories!

There was a movie out a couple of years ago, where this woman doctor goes to the mountains researching mountain music. I wish I could remember the name, the mountain music, just singing mostly was incredible. I gave it to a friend of mine and she told me she watched it seven times! I'll try to remember the name and tell you, I know you would love it.

Morning All, as I predicted, I've missed pages of very important information just by being on a different time zone.

Note for Niosgirl. If you stick a pencil in your eye, it won't make the music go away. You will be blind but you will still be able to hear it. I will now go and try it just to make sure. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH. Yep, I can still hear.
