Hey Overs! I hope all are well and having a great SR day!
Michael,
Is your Sobriety date 7/10/2010 July or September? Mine is September for 10 years, FBL remains a year and a few months ahead of me. RZ far ahead of him! My wishes for both of you, and the rest of the sober before me who helped me along the way, is that I never get ahead of any of you.
FBL,
Yeppers, Paul Harvey, although later I realized his personal views were not what I chose he reminds me of things like Happy Days, the peace movement, and the beaches in Southern Connecticut on Long Island Sound which in the 60s were clean. My stumbling through first loves and being a chef very young. Sometimes it’s music, sometimes it’s Harvey saying his signature sign off “Gooday!” not G’day.
Your friends and their JFK research allowed you some fantastic insights into events we all still have to offer opinions about. Yours however, are informed. I’m glad he was able to make good use of his research; I don’t think he sold out either.
1966! OMG! You and The Monkees came out in the same year!
Star,
Me too! Boy do I agree about commercial radio these days. And DJs cannot deviate from the corporation play lists, even Oldies stations except privately owned and Pirate stations. In the New York City area our big DJs were #1 Cousin Brucie (Morrow) who was my first personality on my tiny Japanese transistor radio at age 8 or 9. Later It was Allison Steele ”The Nightbird” who gave me many dreams I won’t discuss here. I got FM with my first major tech purchase, a KLH Model 24 High end system with Phono and built in FM-only receiver that played through one of the finest speaker systems of the time. That was the year before you were born when I was 13 I was 14 in ’66! Cousin Brucie is still on the air on my Sirius radio 60s at six I believe. I just dropped it because I have a 128GB micro SD card full of my oldies from my ripped DJ CDs in my Smart Phone, and Bluetooth it over to my car Audio system directly. It does calls and Nav too! So I can listen to the one hit wonders, and cuts from “The Last Poets” and “The Velvet Underground and Nico (Lou Reed wrote most of their songs and they were produced by Andy Warhol.) The song “Heroin“ shocked me and made an impression that kept me from ever even thinking about downer drugs. I did not realize until I was chemically dependent on Ethanol that it was also as dangerous.
Mags,
Remember some years back when I tried to explain that when fully retired Saturday and Sunday join M-F as just weekdays!
Sassy!
I just wrote about the Cousin! Remember the advertising on his show that had all the reverb turned up when they started with “SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! At National Speedway!” And “Chicken Man He’s everywhere He’s everywhere Dum da da Dum!” Ah, memory lane! One of my favorite places after today.
Sassy, whatever you decide with Sassy Kitty is the right thing. If the roles were reversed, what would Sassy kitty want for you? (I anthropomorphize without shame.
FBL,
As I feel about all the overs too. I needed the non-judgmental outlet among friends who would always take my posts for the best, not reading in any personal issues for the most part. I’ve found that and friendship here too. Y’all even talked me into FaceCrook! I can get my political and personal beliefs out there with a very select group there. I am not an open Facebook page, only friends can see most and I need to re-secure it. My friends with different beliefs know I am reactive in politics and religion. Not defensive or offensive. Like here.
I had this hung in my office for years since the early 90s. That's why it's so yellowed and faded:
I’m sending my new Dell computer back and will no longer buy direct from the manufacturer. Very expensive item and has unsolvable hardware problems with audio and USB. Been on the phone and they want me to send it back in under warranty for repairs. Glad I have my old systems to tide me over. And happy that I kept the box and packing until the warranty runs out next December. I think I’ll try any other brand next time.
Have a great weekend those who still observe the distinction from weekdays. Ever wonder about that phrase? Aren’t all days of the week weekdays?
