I'm not sure what you mean by your post? Can you expound upon it?

Robinrs said:DG, you nut! I love Prince, too, in fact, back in 1986 deliberately became "friends" with a neighbor who was dating a guy in his band. All I wanted was a chance to meet Prince. She took me to a concert (back in the Purple Rain days) and I WAS SHOCKED at his height. This was before I met Elton John and I had NEVER met a man who was my height... 4ft11"...EVER!!!!He's teenie!!!

transparant said:Wanted to share this with all you Taylor Hicks fans. I'm the PA State Director for Give 2 The Troops - so I get a lot of donations sent to my house for me to send off to deployed units.
So yesterday - I get a box from Amazon. I thought it was a book that I ordered. I opened it up and inside were 10 of Taylors CD with the songs "Do I Make You Proud" & "Takin It To The Streets" on it. On the order form - there was a personalized note for each CD that said: -
"To: American Soldiers: A gift of love and a beautiful song from those of us in Canada who appreciate your great bravery and sacrifices. Yes, you make us all proud!
It was from woman that lives in Calgary! I THOUGHT THIS WAS ONE OF THE NICEST THINGS EVER SENT FOR ME TO SEND TO THE TROOPS!!!
Wasn't that awesome?!![]()
disnygoof said:ATTENTION!
AWESOME, AWESOME interview with Gray from graycharles.com with Taylor HERE! (I cannot believe he spoke on the phone with him...I'm so jealous.)
Be warned though. This is RAW Taylor. Many are arguing over his "potty mouth" which I find completely asanine (just MHO). I've commented and all I'll say is this: Taylor is not an angel (learned this from my visit to B'Ham and Marty's.). But then again....who is??![]()
Enjoy...the real Taylor Hicks.

In fact I LOVE IT!! But I'm from NY..go figure!!
Part Five is up. Yesterday there was so much traffic to the site it went down several times. I downloaded them to a document just in case the entire site goes down.
Transparent, that is an AWESOME story!!! Friday a soldier in camouflage opened the door for me, I just beat myself up that I didn't have a cd to hand him!! Perfect way to let them know....
oh yes and
Happy SunTAY everyone!!!
disnygoof said:Good idea about saving the interview! Gonna do that right now! Hope my "Taylor" folder can take it. Last time when I tried to save something to it, the computer actually said to me "you SERIOUSLY have more stuff to put in here???"![]()
I seriously love this interview. It's the real him. And I sometimes have "potty mouth" too, so we'd gel real well!I love how he talks about his music. He's amazing.

Happy SunTAY!!
Okay, this is off topic but I need some advice from my DIS SP friends....
The current situation with myself and my S.O. is that we are living together, but seperate rooms. I plan on moving out on Sept. 1st when the lease is up, but my connudrum is this...my younger brother and his fiance are coming down to visit me in....5 days.(OMG....I just realized....5 DAYS!!)
So, they were originally intending on staying with us, except for two nights when they were going to go up to Myrtle Beach. However, my S.O. is being, in my opinion, unreasonable, and wants nothing to do with them and doesn't want them here because "it's his place, too."
So I was thinking I'd try to book them a hotel, kind of like an extended hotel around here, thinking it shouldn't be TOO expensive, between $200 - $300. I was going to pay for most of it, maybe all of it if my brother couldn't chip in (they are poor college students, also planning a wedding). Well, I go to check out rates and we're looking more like $400 plus! Unless I want them to stay in a motel with roaches....![]()
I don't know WHAT to do! I can afford this, but it'll be a big ding in my fundsI feel like I'm hanging over the edge of a cliff, grasping vines to hang on and not fall! I haven't told my brother yet about this. I also don't want them to feel uncomfortable here, too. We're not screaming at each other, but you know how it is when there's tension between people - it can make you feel very awkward.

So, what should I do? Take the blow and get them a hotel? I think I'm going to talk to my brother about it today and see what he thinks. ARGH! Timing of this really stinks.Okay...suggestions NEEDED, SP! Thank you!! (sorry for the long post!)
Robinrs said:DG, sweetie...hold ON!!! Hotel fanatic to the rescue!!
Have you ever tried Priceline? If not it's not that scary, I could hold your hand thru it.
First, go on www.biddingfortravel.com and see if there are any hotels 2 - 3 stars in your area. If not you can try www.hotelkingdom.com or www.hotwire.com
If none of these work, let me know. There is ALWAYS a way to get a hotel... take it from the single Mom who has been in 39 DIFFERENT hotels since 1999! Ask my son!
disnygoof said:Thanks Robbin! I'll look at those as soon as I get out of the shower!! I worked out for 2 hours straight (to clear my head) then just moved my stuff into the spare bedroom (not fun) Needless to say, I stink pretty badly!

I knew I could count on my SP friends!Back later with a report!
Robinrs said:BTW, I see that pic in your sig about how he was LOOKING AT YOU!! You are a mess!![]()
disnygoof said:Okay, hotwire seems to be the best one. They found a 2.5 star one for $55 a night, total $314.77 including tax. They say it's like Holiday Inn Xpress or Amerisuites...those are good, usually. I have to tell my brother before I book....hopefully he won't be too mad.
Back with more!
Oh yes, to keep this thread Taylor related...
SOUL PATROL! SOUL PATROL!!![]()
Robinrs said:That's a pretty good rate for a holiday week, especially for a 2.5 because it usually includes a breakfast or a micro/fridge.
Did you try Priceline? They can be cheaper IF you can win the bid.
And btw, if OT posts killed threads on the DIS, 9/10ths of the idiocy on this board would've been recycled! Luckily they aren't as anal as the AI boards!!!

I can't wait for part 7!!![]()
