    Help me think of a song

    The Babys - Back on my Feet Again. Yes, has some romantic references but is one of the most powerful, uplifiting pop pieces ever.

    Songs that say "perfect" in them

    Breakthrough pop song that was way ahead of it's time (first to use sampling, in a very effective way). But also a classic example of a one hit wonder group.

    Songs that say "perfect" in them

    Oh, boy - I get to mention one of my FAVORITE songs: The Perfect Moment by the Christians - it has not only great lyrics but also contains some perfectly orchestrated classical music touches. Tired of being a yes man A fool to kick around Tired of the rejection I've got to get my feet up on...

    What Thanksgiving side dishes are usually at your table?

    The brown sugar is an interesting addition and thanks for mentioning the acorn squash, we should look into adding that. :)

    Cat owners: I'd like your non judging feedback as to what you think I should do

    We also did this with one of our female cats, and IMHO it is the best balance between letting the cat have an outdoor experience while not putting it at the huge risks of wandering around on its own outdoors. The bottom line is the life expectancy of a cat that lives solely indoors (where in...

    What Thanksgiving side dishes are usually at your table?

    We are pretty traditional, but being originally from New England that isn't surpising. Large selection of nuts Home made mashed potatoes Home made yams Roasted butternut squash (and no, without any marshmallows - we serve the true version, which was a staple in the 17th century Plymouth Colony...

    Will you be shopping on Black Friday?

    Cyber Monday is over-hyped. The best online deals generally come before or after it.

    Will you be shopping on Black Friday?

    True, but the basic reality is the retail premise is to promote "killer" deals, where those who read the fine print realize there are only a handful of items with that discount available (not only in stores but also in many cases online). Or put in plain English, the core premise of Black...

    Mariah Carey Accused of Sexual Harassment

    The firm that installed the sprinkler system at my sister's house had done landscaping work at the mansion Carey and Tommy Mottola built north of NYC. While that firm was doing work at my sister's house, the "star couple" came up and the owner told her stories about how they were not only uber...

    How old is "too old" for a woman to have a baby?

    I hope everything goes well then. Your situation caught my attention, because our first child was born in the same general time frame (early December), when my wife was in her mid 20s. She was also the first grandchild for both families. Suffice to say that made for a very memorable holiday...

    Will you be shopping on Black Friday?

    You're not alone. This is one of the first years I can remember so little media hype about what the supposed "hot" items are. Any of the crazies who could not see a reason to keep living without an Iphone X (which as expected is already getting critiqued by the early adopters for having a...

    Will you be shopping on Black Friday?

    There are actually still people who think getting the best deals require camping out in some parking lot on Thanksgiving? :rotfl2:

    Songs about telling someone NO!

    I'm kicking myself. I just can't I believe how -- after seeing the "saying no" title of this thread -- that I had fogotten about this classic, albeit slightly risque late 70s number by the Tubes: Don't Touch Me There Verse 1 Ooh baby, Move closer to me I've had all that I can stand...

    How old is "too old" for a woman to have a baby?

    Probably not news to many here, but fertility peaks at about age 22 (ergo, statistical probability of an egg getting fetrilized is highest) and definitely shows sharp declines by age 30. And those who have had children after 35 already know the probablity of birth defects rises after that age...

    Songs about telling someone NO!

    Berlin (featuring the timeless Terri Nunn): No More Words You're talking, it all sounds fair You promise your love, how much you care I'm still listening and still unsure Your actions are lacking, nothing is clear No more words You're telling me you love me while you're looking away No more...

    I need ideas for a Fifties dance costume!

    You are all engaging in "cultural appropriation" of people who came of age in the 1950s. Shame on you!!!! :teeth:

    Macaroni & Cheese For Thanksgiving Dinner

    IMHO mac and cheese can be a winner around holidays, if it is truly a well done version. But as for having it for Thanksgiving, my sense is it fits better as a cold weather comfort food item for a casual pre-Christmas (or perhaps Christmas Eve, for those like yours truly that reserve the big...

    Dog obituary?

    I'm actually surprised someone hasn't raised the analogy of PETA going to court to try and give animals constitutional rights. So I will, with a simple point: the courts have consistently turned down every single attempt they have made at that. So those equating an animal has having the same...
