WHY???

Why not?

I was almost 40 when Twisted Sister hit it big. I still like them.

When I was a teenager my dad fraked out when I told him I was going to quit baseball and be a heavy metal rockstar. As with most dads, he put his foot down so I still played baseball but did play bass in a band. The coach made me cut my hair and take out my earrings.

Who, The
Tommy (1969)
We're Not Gonna Take It


Tommy: Welcome to the Camp,
I guess you all know why we're here.
My name is Tommy
And I became aware this year

If you want to follow me,
You've got to play pinball.
And put in your earplugs
Put on your eyeshades
You know where to put the caulk

Hey you getting drunk, so sorry!
I've got you sussed.
Hey you smoking Mother Nature!
This is a bust!
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal,
Don't try to gain my trust!
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways
Although you think you must

Guests:
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take it
Gonna break it, gonna shake it,
let's forget it better still

Tommy: Now you can't hear me,
your ears are truly sealed.
You can't speak either,
your mouth is filled.
You can't see nothing,
and pinball completes the scene.
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to
Your very own machine.

Guests:
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don't want no religion
And as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take you
We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let's forget you better still.

Tommy:
See me.
Feel me.
Touch me.
Heal me.

Listening to you,
I get the music.
Gazing at you,
I get the heat.
Following you,
I climb the mountains.
I get excitement at your feet.

Right behind you,
I see the millions.
On you,
I see the glory.
From you,
I get opinions.
From you,
I get the story.

Best album ever recorded.... Tommy by The Who! Closely followed by The White Album by (do I need to say it?) The Beatles. Followed by Aqualung - Ian Anderson, followed by any Led Zepplin, Doors, Moody Blues, Cream, David Peale and the Lower East Side (and their famous song.... "If you need a prophalactic, and you haven't got one use Saran Wrap...Saran Wrap!) Ah... the 60's was a great time for music! Thanks for the memories!

This is post #30 for me.

 

[VACAMPER]

77ed, saw where you like motocross. My dh raced in his younger years. Winning the nationals at Loretta Lynns Dude Ranch in 1990 was the highlight of his life. (Except for me of coarse) lol

That's cool! I raced in my younger days also. I stopped in 1990, did it again in '92 then '95. Never made it to that level. He must feel great about that accomplishment. To this day I would still love to ride at hurricane mills. In 2006 I decided to take up riding again, I looked funny on my old bike 1987 honda cr125 (especially at 6'4" 220lbs). My wife said if I get her a bike I could have a new one, so she get a 2005 Yamaha ttr125le and I got a 2005 yamaha YZ250 two stroke.

 

[VACAMPER]

My DH would love to have a new bike but, we bought the TT instead. We can't afford any broken bones at this point. He scares me on a street bike he goes way to fast. Besides if rides he ends up so sore from the jumps that he can't move for 3 or 4 days. Nothing like rubbing your mate down with ben gay or icy hot.

 

[77ed]

VACAMPER, Does your DH still ride?

 

[VACAMPER]

Only on occasion,just for fun.

 

[77ed]

sorry I was a little slow.

Now that I am a little older it's funny how you look at things. You look at things like now this is really going to hurt if I don't make it. Falling hurts more now then it did back then. Getting old sucks.

 

[VACAMPER]

Or maybe if I break a leg i'll be out of work and who will pay the bills. (especially since his wife doesn't work)

Sometimes it just takes one crazed lunatic to get the ball rollin!!!! Do we know any crazed lunatics on this board???

We just saved an entire country from themselves and continue to finance the cause with human life to this very day...that country just happens to be the most oil rich country on the planet...why the hell are we paying $3.50 for a gallon of freakin gas....we're shipping our people there to die so they can get their government straightened out...ya THINK they could give us a few barrels of oil as a thank you gift!!!! Im mad as hell, and I aint gonna take it any more!!!!!
WE NEED A CRAZED LUNATIC!!!

Well, figure that every group has a crazed lunatic you just have to have the right perspective. Put it this way, one out of four friends is the ugly one. If you get together with three of your friends and look around and say " well, not one of them is ugly"......guess what.... So what were you saying about a crazed lunatic.

 

[AuburnJen92]

First Jen..... here's a for you. You sound like you need one.

Second.... do you have any appeal process for your insurance? Sometimes a letter of explanation from the Dr. is all it takes. If not, carefully review your benefits (which should be available on-line), and if after reviewing your options you think you are entitled to the claim being paid, call your state insurance commission - or if you really want to stir the pot - see if a local TV station has a consumer advocate reporter & sic them on it. Two of our local stations in Tampa have these & you would be amazed at what they can accomplish!!

Here's another to help bolster your mood.

Oh yeah.... ebay is really getting sucky. Try Craigslist, instead.

Thanks for the hug. Sorry for venting, but I had screamed at so many people's voicemail (and one actually had the guts to call me back, but I missed her by about 10 minutes...oh, i will call back tomorrow!) that I just had to relieve my stress by typing. The appeal from the doctor's office was declined as well. They sent in all the dr's notes and therapist's notes, along with documentation of his progress, but they won't budge. I plan on taking this up with my local state representative and see what she can do, since I am a state employee and all...we will see what happens tomorrow...

As far as ebay goes, they can kiss my @zz. I have been reading on the tech news that ebay has mandated in Austrailia and the UK that all things (even ones that are picked up in person) that are bought on ebay must be paid for by paypal, which means ebay gets a cut of the listing, final sale,, and the transaction of the sale, so they tag you with three different fees for each sale...and the way they are treating their sellers (and not just me), I think they are going to be on a downturn in the coming years...there is going to be someone that comes out with the latest technology (like all live auctions) and send ebay to the grave...when that happens, i will be dancing in the streets!
When I first started on ebay, it was very profitable, lately, it has been very hard to break even.

I am going to advertise on RVUSA and different websites and DH promised that he is going to fix and update my 7 year old website for a reasonable fee...I don't know what computer part I am going to have to buy for this!

Thanks guys and gals for letting me vent. After watching one of my girls (who I had no one to replace her with) make 10 ERRORS in our last game last night, this is not what I needed today, but it is so nice to know I can vent with friends and hopefully they don't think I was whining about poor ol' me. I have been a basketcase all day.

I am going to fix myself a rum and coke now and read the rest of the boards!

 

[AuburnJen92]

It'll be ok Jen. If it makes you feel any better, someone knocked over the UF 2006 National Championship Trophy, and it fell and broke.

DH says it was him....everyone can pm him at cwmajors

 

[RvUsa]

Did someone say advertise on RVUSA?? Wow, I wonder how that will work.... LOL Come on over and we will talk it over. I am easy, I mean cheap.... oh heck you know what I mean!

 

[AuburnJen92]

My DH is about ready to swear off of eBay. At least for selling things. You get a bunch of really good people, and then one or two idiots, that just don't know what they're going & mess things up for you. So, here Jen , I completely understand.

Try to arbitrate w/ eBay about the mess those girls got you into. I'm sure there's a way to get your account back.

Oh, & people do new accounts, when something happens to their old ones, all the time w/ eBay, so you should be able to start up a new one if they won't unlock your old one.

The problem is that the "safety and trust department" is pretty much automated. They tell you in the email that you can appeal it, but all you can get is a canned message back. The message is the same each time. I am going elsewhere...

 

[kc5grw]

Aw shucks. Just logged on the first time today. Thought I might be able to sneak in and get 1800.

 

[kc5grw]

1800

Okay so maybe I did after all.

Now I gotta go back about 5 pages and catch up.
