My mom called me today. It was nice to hear from her. She wondered if I felt the earthquake today. Nope. Slept through it, but I was probably too far away anyway to feel anything. She informed me that to celebrate her first anniversary with my step dad they will be attending a Moody Blues concert. I am so jealous, but happy for her. She has never been to a concert. So if anyone in the North Carolina area is going to the concert and you see an older couple (she is 70 and he is 82) up back having a good time it could very well be my parents. I am so glad that at that age they are still enjoying life.

^^^And what a sweet looking cross dresser you were. I bet all the women loved to pinch those cute litte cheeks.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully as your son grows he will eventually see that his mom has been vindictive to you through him. It is a shame that some people are like that because it is not fair to the children to be put in the middle.

Had my taxes done today and it was not as painful as I expected it to be. My husband trying to play Whole Lotta Love for me on his guitar.

Congrats!!

Awsome!!! Star Trek won an Oscar for best makeup. The first Oscar ever for any of the ST movies.

March 5, 1971 - Stairway To Heaven is played for the first time to an audience March 4, 1980 - John Bonham makes a TV appearance on "Alright Now" with Bill Connolly

Awsome violinist!! He really knows how to handle that bow.

Native Americans named the full moon of February THE FULL SNOW MOON. Some called it Full Hunger Moon, even Famine Moon, especially when winter was harsh and hunting halted. The Cherokee named it FULL BONY MOON. Celts called February's moon-- Moon of Ice.

Congratulations!!

I stopped by a new store in the neighborhood and found another Sam Adams that I like. Blackberry Witbier This store had an amazing beer and wine selection, plus alot of organic foods. A cross between Trader Joes and Henrys market. My new store to grocery shop at. My daughter loved it too as they had alot of vegitarian foods .

I really liked it. Very soothing music to an already beautiful song. I just figured out how to post these videos.

My daughter likes Bill Maher and showed me this video. Couldn't just pin point it to the part of interest, but it is at the 5 minute mark of the video where he is interviewing the religious fanatic and the phone rings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy4I4NjeRbU

Apologize if this is old news, but heard Ringo was getting his own star on the Hollywood walk of fame on Monday. http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978031058&grpId=3659174697243100&nav=Groupspace

I like that, and so did my Hubby. He likes Laurel and Hardy. I am so glad my computer is fixed so I can hear all these cool videos posted. Got lots of catching up to do.

That was the only part of the Grammys that my Hubby watched. Has this pic on the computer wallpaper. He started playing his guitar again a couple of years ago and he is a mechanic. The pic seemed appropriate.

Full moon from by back yard. The lunatics are out tonight!

Full January WOLF moon tomarrow night. Andrew Fazekas for National Geographic News Published January 29, 2010 The biggest full moon of 2010 will rise in the east tonight, and it'll appear with a bright sidekick: Mars will cozy up just to the left of the supersize moon. January's full moon is also called the wolf moon, according to Native American tradition associating this month's full moon with wolves howling in the cold midwinter. (Take a moon myths and mysteries quiz.) The 2010 wolf moon will appear 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than any other full moon this year, because our cosmic neighbor will actually be closer to Earth than usual. The moon will be at its closest perigee—the nearest it gets to our planet during its egg-shaped orbit—for 2010 at 4:04 a.m. ET Saturday, reaching a distance of 221,577 miles (356,593 kilometers) from Earth. At its farthest from Earth, the moon is said to be at apogee. Perigee and apogee each happen generally once a month, but the moon's wobbly orbit means that the satellite's exact distance at each of those events varies over the year. The moon's phase can also be different during each apogee and perigee. "This month has the largest full moon of 2010, because it coincides with the special moment when the full moon happens to occur on the same day as it is at perigee," said Marc Jobin, an astronomer at the Montréal Planetarium. And in a remarkable coincidence, Mars is at opposition tonight—directly opposite to the sun in the sky—so that as the sun sets in the southwest, Mars rises in the northeast. Around opposition, the red planet gets closest to Earth. This year Mars swung by at just 61 million miles (98 million kilometers) on January 27, and it will still appear remarkably bright during tonight's sky show. "To the naked eye it will appear as a bright, orange-colored star right next to the full moon—the pair will jump out at you for sure," Jobin said. Full Moon Illusion Because this unusually close perigee is happening during a full moon, it is expected to have an effect on Earth's tides. (Related: "Mysterious Tremors' Strength Ebbs With Tides.") These effects should be modest, most likely measurable in inches, although perigee tides can be higher if there happens to be a storm surge at the same time. As for observing the effects of perigee on the moon itself, most casual observers should notice an obvious difference in the moon's apparent size as it rises above the eastern horizon, Jobin said. That's when an optical illusion usually comes into play that makes any full moon seem larger, since the moon is set against familiar Earthly objects rather than appearing high in the empty sky. "The combination of the two effects—perigee and moon illusion—will be really be noticeable and spectacular near the horizon," Jobin said.

I thought it was creepy and wondered how she does anything.
