>....I did a google search for the lyrics 2 "A Man Called Jayne" - arguably one of the funniest episodes of Firefly - but it ain't out there!


One of my favorites!

Hi guys. Missed you. You is good people.

I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Thinking about you Binder. And, while I would bet you are OK, there are prayers coming your way.

Wishing you were better than just OK.

Hi guys (and ladies),

BIG WAVE TO 2LONG! <waves>

Since this is the place to post lyrics, my VVRDXW (Very Very Recently Divorced eX Wife) has been trying to get me back - and sounding less and less foggy. Maybe I'm the one getting foggy. So, here from ABBA is the great...

"Take A Chance On Me"

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(That's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'Cos you know I've got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me
Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go
'Cos I love you so

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me

Hey all,

Just got back from the cabin yesterday. Took the week off work, packed up my tools and puttered around there for a few days. What a glorious time. The weather was fantastic getting as high as 20 degrees Celsius…(68 F). The only down side is that it’s dark by about 7:00 PM now. In June it’s light until about 10:30…..so now I’m in reading for the night and listening to the one radio station I can get there which only plays country music. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a lot of country music, but man is it sad stuff sometimes! I had to shut it off when some guy was singing about his daughter getting diagnosed with leukemia. Geez….get me a rope and a tall tree.

Anyways…just wanted to say howdy…..I mean hello, hope this finds everyone well. Good luck on the appraisal GC and thanks for the prayers SS.

Hi back Binder. That sounds like some excellent week.

I'm listening to A Love Supreme. If you like jazz even a little, this record is essential. Heavens to Betsy. Oops, my pals are here. L8R.

AD - I used to listen to a lot of ABBA in the early 80's (I think), and then when DD was little we played it a lot because she liked to sing along. Anyway, great band.

Interesting about your ex, although I doubt anyone is surprised.

Remember all great relationships begin with friendship. Best friends, first and foremost. Let that be the beginning and basis of your new R with her.

As for me, I met someone. It's wierd because I didn't expect to meet anyone I really liked, especially right now because I wanted to spend as much time as possible studying and putting into practice this new spiritual path I have chosen... so now it will be a test to see if I can still keep it on the front line and be in a relationship. (probably not hard for anyone else, but I am easily distracted I think)

A mutual friend emailed him my picture and told him he might like me, so we started emailing and then talking on the phone. Last weekend he drove up from Milwaukee (7 hours) and got a room for the weekend. We went out to dinner and the bars the first night, and then bowling and sightseeing the second. Ended up watching a couple of movies and ordering pizza. He is coming up next weekend again.

I don't know how this LDR will work out (JJ I'm thinking of you here), but I think I could really like him. He is sweet, and funny, and kind of quiet, and fun. I have been telling him about all of you here, and my new interest in ACIM... and he still likes me. LOL

Can you believe it?

Hey 2long,

Hope you got out of the little funk which got a hold of you.

Were you depressed because you couldn't find that song? No probably not, eh?

Yep, you are a very worthwhile person to know. Only an idiot can't see that! Take it slow Weaver and keep focused on your spiritual life.

Hi ya, Binder! GC, I am going to look up that album. I love jazz but don't know anything about it.

Hi all,

Just checking in. I

I have closed the motel for the winter and moved back to the house, so I won't have internet for awhile.

Things have been very stressful, but we are making progress. I think.

Love to all,

Shul

Oh come on (Grin) you can't just say this and leave.

Tell us what you are happy about. And what remains (of the bad.)

Well this is my song for the evening...

dedicated to the beautiful little Paige (who is home now, gone skating with friends (sigh))

Emmy Lou Harris

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them I don’t know.

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been.
But life began again
The day you took my hand.

And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening get me down
Now that you’re around me.


And you love me, too.
Your thoughts are just for me;
You set my spirit free.
I’m happy that you do.

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read,
All but love is dead.
That is my belief.

And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening bring me down
Now that you’re around me.

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them, "i don’t know."

Hi SLH. Sometimes when this thread is quiet, it's a good thing.

Not that I have any exciting and wonderful news to report...

Though I could get fixed up with someone this week...

2 be "fixed up" doesn't one have 2 be "broken down" first?

I need 2 fix up my Model A, but for good reason!

Well, I hear that like me, but for completely different reasons, this girl has a few arrows in her back.
