I'm waking up and I think some of you may have just gone to bed. <br /><br />Java Mama, I may be having a Primanti Brothers sandwich next week ! <br /><br />CED, how about those cooking directions ? Like chicken breasts... 60 miles at 65 mph....<br /><br />Irish Miss, I have a friend who has a Bernese. Her name is Molly. She was wary of me and my boy (my avatar) at first, but they get along just fine. She's smaller than he is though. When he's not with me, she'll come up beside my leg so I can scratch her head, and then she sits down on my foot so I won't move. Then tilts her head way back to look at me when I momentarily stop scratching. She's a real hoot.<br /><br />Bill, I thought I recalled that Vegas Doc or Manac had posted the Blurred Lines video when it first came out. That song is really catchy. Robin Thicke is Alan Thicke's son. Alan played the dad on Growing Pains, a family friendly sitcom. It may have been viewed as a knockoff of Family Ties, another family friendly sitcom of the same era that featured Michael J Fox.TTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03978803962510303498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-51442756271211982582013-08-11T02:09:56.673-05:002013-08-11T02:09:56.673-05:00It's trendy to call sandwiches sammies these d...It's trendy to call sandwiches sammies these days.

Unlikable, arrogant people speaking and interacting in ways unlike any real people I know or can imagine. I watch enough other stuff. I think I can safely delete it and never miss it.<br /><br />In a TV ad (for Jack in the Box I think), they make it a point to say "samwich" instead of "sandwich." It sounds sloppy to me. But they don't care I'm sure.

T...CED, I remember well that song by LaVerne Baker. That was the music I grew up loving.<br /><br />I don't care for most of present-day popular music. I did find one song recently that I enjoyed. I haven't paid much attention to the words but the melody, rhythm, background, etc. are fun. That is "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke.<br /><br />As you know, Jordan and I survived his learning to get on a bicycle. Today's challenge was to help Barbara relearn how to parallel park. She has avoided it for years, could mostly accomplish it with our 65 VW but hasn't tried it with the almost new Toyota Yaris. So we practiced today. We are still speaking so it went OK; not great but OK. Her main trouble is not being able to sense how far she is from the other cars. When she turns and backs up, she thinks her right front fender is about to hit the front car's rear fender when she is still four feet away. I guess it's a combination of problems with depth perception and self confidence. We did it four times before her patience ran out. My guess is, that will be the end of the practice sessions.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-58199050315680882013-08-10T20:47:31.156-05:002013-08-10T20:47:31.156-05:00A neighbor had an Anatolian.

I was around 4. The first thing I can remember reading outside the comics page was Robert W Service. I'm not sure his poems should be songs.....that might ruin it. But I always liked the cadence. A little trite, or maybe even cheesy? Maybe.
