Something About Nothing..........#5

[Tinker-tude]

You lost me.

If you listen to the theme song of Love Boat, it's an adaptation of that song. The original song was VERY popular, and the producers of Love Boat thought that would be a great way to get people to love the show before the first scene started. So they got permission to add lyrics and adapt/cut a few bars here and there to improve the flow of the new version with the new lyrics. I was only eight when the show came out and I kept getting annoyed that they were doing the song "wrong". I found out the story about it 4-5 years later.

Maybe you mean The Love Boat theme song??
I always loved the show The Love Boat
I remember on Sat. nights in the late '70s and early 80's watching The Love Boat and then Fantasy Island.
DH told me the first season of Love Boat is out on DVD now.

We used to watch them both, too. 'Cuz that's all that was on!

my taste in music is just opposite of yours.

my parents like that type of music, except disco stuff.
just not my thing.

my kids like pretty much of what i like.
so no fighting over the car cd player if they are with me.
i'm lucky.

So what do you like? I like a little bit of everything, but my first love is classical. It's kind of funny when someone looks through my little car CD folder. They see Bach, Mozart operas, Brahms chamber music, etc. in the first seven pages. We start the car and they are sometimes surprised to hear Evanescence, Billy Idol, Alanis Morrisette, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Queen, Loreena McKennitt, KT Tunstall, The Cure, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Sting, Lifehouse, and the list goes on and on and on.... Yes, I love music. All kinds of music. My bank knows that better than anyone.

Evening fellow thugs!

Evenin', Cdn Friends of THUGS!!!!!!! I bet your waist chains are cold up there in the great white north. Are they scarier that way, or is it annoying when they stick to your skin?

Try the sports shop on Main Street @ MK if he has not already. They seem to have stuff for every sport in there.

Lori:

I did try that shop on main street, but nothing really for tennis. We are a tennis family (and I mean tennis). In fact I gave up golf for tennis. So, I have Mac looking for anything from Disney (or even Universal) with a tennis theme, if you will. My avatar is Donald with a tennis racquet. I don't remember where I got that from, but I thought it was neat.
There are a lot of Mickey swinging a glof club, golf balls with mickey on it, Disney golf license plates, etc. So where is all the tennis stuff?

Again thanks again!

I had never heard that. I don't think they sound anything alike...but that's me.

Good morning Homies

Morning Lawrence! (And everyone else!)

Well, I didn't get the job. Yeah, I was pouting last night so I didn't come post. I'm not certain I really wanted it - it did seem quite a bit weird being at my kids' school, but even more working with the people on staff that I'm trying to work with as a parent to get what I want for my kids in general. But for the location and hours, I would have definitely been willing to try it. Oh well, I'm being philosophical - I'll just keep my eyes open more!

Off to the dentist this morning with the boys. We're heading out tomorrow camping (Point Beach if you've heard of it Mac - a state park right along Lake Michigan near Two Rivers), and I haven't gotten everything unpacked from last week yet! So far DS hasn't asked to bring GF along, so maybe we could have a weekend with just family for a change!

Good morning all-
DS Matthew accomplished making and tying certain rope knots for Boy Scouts last night. They had some kind of competition to tie certain rope knots in a certain time frame. He was one of the boys that won something, so he won a travel chess game We don't know how to play chess, but oh well, we'll learn. He is so proud of himself!

From the mouth of babes...
THe other day, Matthew was talking about how there will be a double wedding. Him marrying a certain girl that was in his class last school yr and Chrissy marrying a boy that was in her class last school yr. I told him you are much too young to marry It was so darn cute tho!
Can you tell Matthew has a crush on girls?
Chrissy is like, "ewwww, I don't want to marry him!" Too funny!


Marcie- sorry you didn't get that job
Where is your current job? I thought it was at a school?

Tinker-tude- I didn't know about The Love Boat theme song either. Something to learn everyday on the DIS

St L- any news on your DW's biopsy, if it's ok to ask?

Hi to all


Tomorrow I have to take Chrissy to her eye dr. appt.She sees a pediatric eye specialist about 45 min away. I hate driving that far(I hate driving that far period) just for an eye dr. appt, but she needs to go. Matthew will have to go along with us.

Hey everyone. Carol's surgery was yesterday afternoon and she is doing okay this morning. She had a rough night, but she is awake and hanging in there today. The surgeon said that if she does okay today, he will probably release her tomorrow. Still no word on what her prognosis is at this point. Part of the problem is that this cancer is so rare, they don't really know what to expect. Anyway, the plan right now is for chemo to start as soon as she heals from surgery. Thanks for all the prayers and PMs!

Good Morning ....


Well we have been busy here . My sister is getting married in TWO WEEKS . We went to see her in her dress this week and I almost cried . She will be such a pretty .. Well my dress isn't ready yet and neither is my little sisters so it should be fun when we go back .
Last night we spent adding ribbons to the church information . It was fun .


So the kiddies are getting ready for heading back to school . I am really not ready to go back to work in less then three weeks . Not looking forward to getting up at 5:30 everyday .

I am going to start finishing my Trippie later tonight . I have to see a better way to upload photos . But I am still going to finish it off. Just gotta get back over there ..

Ok have a great day everyone BBL

Going to Atlantic City with the GIRLS this weekend NO KIDS and only the GIRLS

 

[marciemi]

Thanks Rose. No, I did sub last year (06-07) in the schools, which is probably what you're thinking of, but since September I've been working in an admin job for a finance company. Phones, computers, customer service - that kind of stuff. Wish I had school hours (ie summers and vacation periods off!), but I really don't like working in the schools all that much. I do like jobs dealing with grownups better, but am not sure my boss fits in that category! And it hasn't been fun working all summer while the kids are off!

New topic - Packers, obviously. Although I'm kind of turned off by the whole Brett Favre thing, who else am I going to cheer for? Anyways, DH just got tickets for the October 5th game or so (whatever that Sunday is) so I guess he's getting over it!

Tricia - I'm so sorry about Carol. I guess I missed that she was having surgery again. Hope they can at least keep her feeling better, even if they can't tell her anything definite! She's still in our prayers (as of course are you and your family!)

Keeping Carol in my prayers Praying the surgery was successful.
Hang in there
