corboblanc... I prefer my music not be thought provoking... unless it is to bring back good and enjoyable memories. And I have very good memories of the years I spent in Europe.... when I was young. :)

Now... back to baseball. I'm not young and remember baseball when there were 3 teams in New York City. To me, the men who played the game back then relied on exceptional natural physical skills. Now, with supplements (both legal and illegal) and year round conditioning programs, the men who play are bigger, stronger and faster. Is the game better now than it was?

All the good things I had as a child went to the landfill after I turned 16. Go to the sites now and collectors are searching for this stuff and willing to pay some big bucks. If I would have saved it all, I'd have a good nest egg for my retirement years. But back 45 years ago no one would have thought there would have been any value to them in later years. woodworker... memories are priceless... and the storage space is minimal. :) stncld... I agree with you. My collections of baseball cards and comic books would have fetched a pretty penny from today's collectors had I kept and protected them, but I didn't know better way back then. If I knew then, what I know now... :)

Some lucky guy ;)

There's no singing, but it's about baseball... :)

It is a wonderful game and, I agree, there is much to talk about. I, for one, thoroughly enjoy spending a couple hours at a game or watching on tv. It's even better when the team I'm rooting for wins. So yes... let's talk baseball. :)

I think back in the good ole days, that's all there was to watch was baseball and westerns. If I wasn't watching them... I was playing them. Loved playing baseball... and cowboys and indians. :) Those were the good ole days.

It is. :)

ww... haven't heard this in many years... thank you. Very good memories with it. :)

So... has anyone seen the tortoise lately? Or is the cat looking well fed? ;D

Then... you'd need a knife and fork to eat 'em out. ;D

Thank you for the welcome... this is a good place to visit... I enjoy it. I wasn't sure about revealing ages... don't know the protocols and/or traditions here yet, but it makes me feel better that I'm not the only... actually old... dude here. I'm about 25 months older than you, ww... hit the famous 66 last December. :)

Thank you, woodworker. I appreciate it. :) No, the 50 isn't my age... I'm well past that. ;) Years ago, I needed to make my username a little different, so I added the 50. And there's no special significance to it, unlike tbg's 150. ;D

Percy Sledge passed away yesterday. He was 73. Dancing to this song with my wife... wonderful memories.

You're welcome, WW. The song's a bit special to me, too. :)

Something different... something with no connection to a certain Christmas song.

Just playing the devil's advocate: she and Kammi started that beautiful massage scene in the livingroom and in her bedroom ;) Speaking of that massage, I wouldn't mind watching Nora give Rita a full body massage. And I wonder if Rita would return the favor? ;)

woodworker: as much as I enjoyed your 'Riders in the Sky' post, seeing/hearing Burl Ives never fails to remind me of one particular song... and if I have to have it stuck in my mind for the rest of the day, I think I should share it with you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0LeF_tZD8Q and yes... I am not a fan of Christmas songs. :)

Thank you, tbg150. I'm glad you're amazed. :D

karenkraft... you're very fast, I'm very impressed. Haven't heard that in years. Thank you. :)

I usually sit. That's the only place I can read the newspaper and concentrate. I don't take the newspaper so i guess i will set and concentrate. i probably will be doing a lot of setting next Thursday and Thursday night.have to drink about a gallon of some kinda nasty liquid for the procedure i am having done.actually there will be two of them.boy i am really looking forward to this. Ok SC buddy going to go check out the Cracker Lady. ;) HMFIC... If you are going to undergo what I think you are going to undergo, I wish you good luck and good results and offer this advice... proctosol or the equivalent will really be beneficial. :)

Spend a summer in Mississippi and you'll hate the flies more than the mosquitoes. I did, and I do.

and now that I see how this works, let me add this:
