>Any cupcakes left?

5. Anyone want a super fudgy cupcake with pink cherry icing?

Homemade, of course. You don't get super fudge from a box.

Dedicating this song to Mr. and Mrs. Still Seeking -

And Mrs S., in your case the "band" would be your eight kids. LOL

Tiny Dancer

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Madman Across The Water


Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can't hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Oh what the heck, I can do my diet after vacation. Can I have milk with it?

SLH, I LOVE those baby girls! I miss mine so much.

Okay Gray, this song I am dedicating to you buddy -

JOSH GROBAN LYRICS

"Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)"

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds and violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will...

...and you are beautiful Gray.

2long, Re the mass - how many trips would that be in the VW truck to haul it away?

SS

2long, you're stealing my thunder with your silly stuff. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I was already singin sompin. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Okay 'nore me, no matter. I'm the fastes poster here anyway.

Shul, I wish you would come out and talk. I'm thinking of you.

Ice,
I'm a desert boy, ice is almost always good.

SS

SS:

'bout 2wice or 4 times that, in trips.

But I'd have 2 lie 2 the guy at the landfill. It's in Eagle Rock (LA), but they only let people from Pasadena dump their [censored] there...

-ol' 2long

Weaver,
Thanks. You have so much going for you. Like Gray, it is left for you to believe in yourself. Everything else is already there.

SS

What's a leche Kimmy?

Weaver, you are simply too fast for me. I would never ignore you on purpose. I think you know that too, if you think about it.

SS

OK, last one before I head home from work.

2long, I haven't laughed so hard, for so long for quite a while. I hope you can stay longer next time.

I bet that would take more than a week - maybe more than two weeks.

SS

LOL SS, I am fast. Play that song for Mrs. S and have a slow dance, women LOVE that song.

Hey where's AD been? Hope he is well, and getting LOTS of work done at work.

Okay, I'm really out of here now. I have laundry to do, and eight people to interview tomorrow, fun fun. My big boss is coming up to do the interviews because he doesn't trust my mouth. I might ask them if they plan on getting pregnant in the near future or something. BIG no no.

Keep the flame burning.

And Shul, I really am thinking of you, and hoping you are okay.

Leche is milk, dear one.

I need a shoulder. Any takers?

Is it proper for me to have my heart break over children I didn't bring into the world myself, but would have gladly if Providence was willing?

-Kimmy

Okay I lied, still here.

Kimmy, I am so sorry for what you are going through. I know how loving you are, and yes your heart would break for the babies that need you.

I'll pray that all works out for the best.

What happened?

I got this other song that I need to dedicate to 2long. And I know your wifes name probably isn't Suzanne 2long, but this song 'minds me of the poet in you.



Lyrics for: Suzanne


Leonard Cohen - Suzanne Lyrics
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
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.
