Shadows and Tall Trees... U2

Brother's In Arms... Dire Straits

Soggy! Been raining for two days, light rain today with a few showers... mid 50's and 100% humidity. More rian for Tuesday.

I Ain't The One... Lynyrd Skynyrd

You're In My Heart... Rod Stewart

That is very nice. But please clarify, did they name her Electrophile or Elizabeth Sleeping a good part of this rainy day made me happy, but the headache it gave me didn't. Having a nice dinner with my favorite person. She's having a steak and i'm having grilled shrimp and scallops. I love seafood!

How Many More Times

Over The Hills and Far Away always relaxes me without making me feel sad, or too mellow like some of my other favorites, ie. Thank You, Going To California, The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, Tangerine, I'm Gonna Crawl, The Rover, That's The Way...

I'm Only Sleeping... The Beatles of course

Me too! At one of my best friend's party tonight, got to spend time with an old friend i haven't seen in 10 years. We were co-workers and used to have dinners out quite a bit. Hoping to see her again soon (take our kids to the zoo next month)! I was also thrilled watching my daughter playing volleyball, she's good! Good luck with the new guy. Can't say i have one of those

The weekend off. A warm day. The rain has gone and now the sun is shining. Had a nice afternoon at the bookstore with my loved one. She got to see Arthur and hear storytime. Now we are going to a good friend's daughter's First Holy Communion. My daughter has a gorgeous dress to wear. I hope the food is good (they're serving Italian).

I was coming out of the Pharmacy (bought a card, not Tamiflu ) couple hours age and saw a man, looked like in his 50's, wearing a face mask. My daughter asked why he was wearing that. My reaction was, people are stupid, lol. As far as i know, there haven't been any confirmed cases in my city (yet). On the evening news, was reported that scientists say this flu virus is missing an amino acid that would cause a more serious virulency... so that's good news. Basically they said this flu shouldn't cause any more symptoms than the influenza we are already familar with (though people do die from that). They believe this flu is similar to one back in 1957, and that may be why older people aren't getting sick the way the young are (they may have some immunity to it). HOWEVER, they did mention, things could be more serious if this virus "mutates". While panic is certainly occurring, i think this should be taken seriously at the least. The more we stay on top of it, the better. Mexico hasn't been diligent in their efforts unfortunately. I found this funny... Vice President Joe Biden was asked what he would say to a family member wanting to travel by plane. He said he would tell them not to. It takes one sneeze for it to travel to all the passengers on a plane. At least he was honest in his answer.

Oh Tysons Corner! My sister used to live in Springfield, VA and we went to Tyson's all the time. The first time i ever ate at a Cheesecake Factory. She would "purchase" items from Nordstroms and i would think, my god! Of course she had money, back then.

Lynyrd Skynyrd did have alot of remaining members, so i can understand how you felt. I just wouldn't be able to see anyone else doing the songs Ronnie sang and wrote... he was so special and as i said before, not replaceable. Same as John Bonham. Rossington/Collins Band didn't last long, but they were great while they did! I had a thing for Gary back then anyway. I saw Molly Hatchett a couple of times... the greatest day in Southern Rock i ever attended was: The Round-up (i have mentioned this in the past)... JFK, Summer of 1981.... The Allman Brother's Band, The Outlaws, Molly Hatchett, Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels Band and .38 Special! Only missing band... Lynyrd Skynyrd.

You never know, that's the sad part of life. In the case of Lynyrd Skynyrd, they were becoming so popular at the time.... and if you didn't have the money, you might have figured they would be back soon. However, i would have gone to the record store! There are so many concerts i didn't get to see because i was too young to go at the time. Perfect example (see Type O's signature)... "Animals" was one of my favorite albums in 1977 (when i first discovered Pink Floyd). If i was a few years older, i could have seen that tour. Same with Led Zeppelin. I discovered them in 1976/1977, but the first time i had the chance to see Led Zeppelin tour, was in 1980. My boyfriend was getting us tickets to see the Philadelphia show scheduled for Oct 23rd, 1980 the show never happened.

I would feel the same way, and that is why i have never seen Lynyrd Skynyrd. I became a fan in early 1977, in my pre-teens, but the tragic day occurred before i was allowed to see concerts. Without Ronnie Van Zant it has never felt like Skynyrd to me... and of course Steve and Cassie Gaines are sorely missed, too. Ronnie was not replaceable. Tuesday's Gone With the Wind, my baby's gone with the wind... I did see Rossington/Collins Band, and as i recall, pretty damn good show (1981). Just found this really awesome article: http://www.tennesseeconcerts.com/planecrash.html

From The Edge of the Deep Green Sea... The Cure!

The big hug and kiss i just got after being told "I Love You" Being off of work was nice, too, even though it meant getting up before the sun to be at a conference. At least i was able to get home in time to take my loved one to ballet. Watching her perform made me happy, too. Really happy: Making plans to see Bruce in Hersheypark next month!!! That doesn't seem to take away the pain of not seeing him tonight however

The Last Resort... The Eagles just a note: my last post was placed right before yours, see above, lol

On The Turning Away... Pink Floyd

I haven't given much thought to this (yet) since i see respiratory illness all the time... i know an epidemic and pandemic are always possible...but coworkers and I heard tonight, the Emergency Department where i work had 20 people there with the possible diagnosis of swine flu. I'll have to see if anything came of it when i go back to work at the end of the week. Best thing anyone can do to help prevent the spread of respiratory illness (as mentioned already) PRACTICE GOOD HANDWASHING AND COVER YOUR MOUTH/NOSE WHEN YOU COUGH AND SNEEZE!

The End... The Doors

King of the Night Time World... KISS

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun... Pink Floyd

Donating blood can save someone's life. It's a very generous thing to do!
