This child DID NOT come from the loins of a man who thinks himself "homely"!! She is absolutely gorgeous - and you should be proud!!!
LOL....Thanks, I am

I agree on not being able to understand the singer
No kidding...what the hell is she whining about???


I loved how they animated the cloud into a rabbit who later skipped around your baby girl! Totally cool!!!)
Wasn't that neat

I asked my daughter what the song was about and she said "Its kinda like an Alice in wonderland thing."
I said "Like "Go ask Alice" by Jefferson Starship?"
She asked "Who's Jefferson Starship?"

She asked "Who's Jefferson Starship?"

Holy Crap!!! You better pull out the old vinyl & educate that girl!! Grace Slick was the best! Just "Go Ask Alice! I think she'll know!"

Just some useless facts to keep this thread on its way to 1300 posts

My 16DD has her 1st solo acting job in this music video..the Singer is Julie Odell, and its was produced by Holden Brown...I have no idea what the song is about because the singer is one of those hippy chick whiners and I can't understand a word she's singing, but the kids seem to like this stuff. Anyway...Im pretty proud that my kids got a role in something other than her own head. This is only the part that has my kid in it, dont know what the rest of the song or video is like

That was really nice Roger. It gave me such a warm feeling. I couldn't hear the words in the song, but the visual was melancholic and hopeful at the same time. It embraced the innocence and dreams of a young woman. I truly hope she holds on to those dreams and never settles. You should be proud!

BTW~if she wants any tips on pursuing an acting career, I'd love to share what I have been blessed to know! She is beautiful and obviously talent comes naturally!

OK, I just need to vent....

In Nov, I took the RV to my local mechanic guy that is the RV guru here in the area. I had him work on the satellite system (the dish on the roof) because it wouldn't cycle and come on and the lights because our running lights went out on our last trip in Oct. and we got pulled over by the police. They were nice and didn't give us a ticket. Anyway, the guy fixed the lights problem (corrosion in the fuse panel) but said he had to send off the satellite dish because there was a faulty board. Well, Dec comes around and we have a trip to FW. He forgot to send it off and still had it in the shop, so DH had to go on the roof and put up the portable dish with the tripod, which kept blowing off the roof. (I know, you are saying, why is she whining, it is not that bad, she is a baby, but hold on...) I call him today and ask where is my freaking satellite and he tells me that UPS smashed it and it is at the factory in MN and he can't get anything done yet because he filed a claim with UPS, however, he can't get an estimate of repair because KingDome won't touch it until UPS inspectors look at it so it is not an argument of he touched, you touched! He also told me it happened two weeks ago. ARGH! I just want my satellite back. I don't know who to be madder at, the RV guy for dragging his feet or UPS for smashing my dish!

OK, off my soapbox.

sorry to hear that. We have a digital Antenna. It works almost as good as the cable.

The repairman is a Gator Fan, that's why he's dragging his feet.

Suck it up, Jen. You're at FW and shouldn't be watching TV anyway. Seriously, though, I have been in similar situations involving UPS and it can be frustrating as H--- trying to sort the mess out. No one wants to take responsibility, and UPS always claims that the recipient should not have accepted the shipment if it was damaged on delivery. At my office, I am seldom the individual who signs for the delivery, and that UPS guy is out the door so fast you don't have time to inspect for damage.

I sold a piece of equipment for about $1,500 on Ebay about a year ago and it took about 2 months to get to the guy via UPS. I filed a lost claim after 3 weeks and they were fixing to send a check to the guy and all of a sudden he calls and says they delivered it today and he tells UPS not to send a check. The next day he calls me and tells me UPS had dropped it and it was broken beyond repair and we need to file another claim. On top of this he sends me back the equipment and says he wants a refund immediately. I told him he'd be waiting for UPS to do their deal and would talk to him then. Next thing I know I'm getting served papers to appear in Small Claims Court. He hired one of these nationwide firms that has a lawyer on call who files all the paperwork ang get's a share of the settlement. So I go to the hearing and told the judge what had happened. He and the lawyer were both laughing at this guy. The guy had also declined insurance which I paid about $50 for out of my own pocket. Once I showed the judge all the paperwork he told me to cash the check from UPS, give the atty. 1k and keep $500 for myself for all my trouble. It was around 6 months after I shipped this thing when we settled. So anyway, that's my UPS story and I'm stickin to it.

Oh I hear ya on the UPS deal. The main reason we have the Direct TV is to watch football games at night and while we are tailgating in Auburn or somewhere Auburn is playing. We don't really have to worry at FW because we always have the tripod ready because the trees. It is the other places we camp that we will have a problem with. My main beef is that it was brand new when we bought the RV and it really has not lasted that long, less than two years. It is a shame too because the previous owner paid a mint for it, because he kept reminding me of it constantly through our negotiations.
In FW- we use the TV to keep DS4 occupied while we get set up or tear down. Either way it is a luxury, but if you can't count on something working for more than 2 years and someone paid that much for it, what can you count on???

Actually, he is a TN fan. Go figure.

I sure am glad that someone finally saw the truth! Sounds like you could make one of those "My Cousin Vinny" movies with a different twist!
I sell on ebay as a second job (I teach and make sooo much money! NOT!) so I have people trying to do that all the time. One got away with it a couple of months ago and got to keep his money and my football jersey because of his credit card company. It stunk really bad.

Well, we kind of pay attention to this things! Although, I liked the UPS men we had in AL much better than those here in FL. When I had my business in AL, I couldn't wait for the UPS man to deliver packages!

It is all in the presentation!

 

[BigDaddyRog]
