I do like that song. No joke, I have that song on an original Peter Paul and Mary live 2 album set circa 1960s. It was my father’s. I love Carl Orff's Carmina Burana as well as Handel’s Messiah. My current favorite piece is: Apocalyptica featuring Corey Taylor - I'm Not Jesus This YouTube won't allow embedding.
I can't get things to embed mid thread for some weird reason.
Heard It Through The Grapevine- Creedence Clearwater Revival
are you using IE? i have that same problem with it.
yes and I know I shouldn't but this old dog gets comfortable and hates to change. Which is weird because being an Aquarian I love change!
IE splits the code somehow so i use Firefox when i want to embed a 'tube in a thread.
I haven't used IE in years. Mozilla Firefox is the only way to go.
Actually, Opera is much faster and has better features. Chrome by Google is better too. Mozilla is just not at the cutting edge of browsers any longer.
I'm an "old DAWG" and an Aquarian, too!
I use IE for posting as I am addicted to IESpell for fast repair of words fat fingered to death by the rapsody of thumbs my typing is. Lately though, it suffers severe disfunction and crashes on a whim. USA Today (McPaper) is an example of a site where IE 8 seems to be unable to display on my newest HP laptop that still also is afflicted with Vista Pro. The wonders and joys of Microshaft products never cease to amaze me.
This was the very first song I had to sing in music in grammar school in second grade in 1962. ;-)
D@mn, you still using Exploder? Ever try Firefox or Opera? Either is a lot better.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Disregard previous post. LOL! I use Firefox all the time. And would be using Linux but where I am now the rest of them all use Windows on a home network and I don't know how to configure the modem so that I can use what I would rather be using. So I am stuck with Windows but not with Exploder.

LOL that figures. 15th for me.
Saw an add for that when I was poking around YouTube. I use a google task bar, might give that a try.
i actually use Maxthon which is IE with a superior skin.
Nice to know someone else is having that problem. I thought it was a problem with my old clunker of a computer.
Never heard of it, at least don't recall it. I am happy with Firefox and I liked Opera too.

Turtles can't be surprised. All they can do is retract their little appendages and give up laying in a defensive posture to die or become permanently mutilated. In the modern world of mankind (note: not silly turtles espousing their little stubs at the ends of their legs as toes or fingers) they are a dying species no matter where they live. On the other hand, you have time to live. It is not just by the grace of the almighty, either. But more by some of us that look down upon you and consider you another meal for another day.
You mean you honestly don't know you're a dork? That's amazing!
Turtle is, of course, a Leo. A professional astrologer once offered to do my horoscope for free...heh heh heh, boy was she right on the money.
the thirty oneth for mee!
As you know chris, Hound Dog was originally recorded by Big Mama Thornton which is why some DJs called Elvis songs "nigra music" and refused to play the songs. If those jocks were alive and spinning today they'd be boycotting The Chix, waving the flag and advocating the repeal of the 22nd amendment. That's why I have to laff my ass off when "country greats" like Porter Wagoner and Kenny Chesney are outed. And, if Toby Keith gets caught in bed with a jig tranny I'll know there is a Goddess! ;)
why the 22nd? did you mean the 14th?
shouldn't that be 'negress', as phil hendrie used to say? lol!
Glory to God in the highest, and Peace to His people on Earth. I was thinking the 22nd so their demigod Dubya could be President-For-Life like Idi Amin Dada or Papa Doc Duvalier. But, I suppose some would support states rights over neofascism masquerading as conservatism. At least the ones who aren't involved up to their draft dodging pencil necks in multinational contract swindles like BushCo and his buddies are. For some Zio-Christian Jihadists it would be quite the horny dilemma, having to choose between their state having the power to execute women seeking abortions and the sheer Christian joy they derive from America leading a mercenary coalition to slaughter Muslims, Arabs, browns, foreigners, women and children and in no particular order depending on the individual bigot spreading the gospel as he understands it.
I had to Google him. Sorry, but I'm not familiar with his humor.
ah..i knew the 22nd was term limits, so i wasn't following. understand now where you were going.
You can't be this old :)
Nope, not that old. Ironically when I did a search of hit songs from the year I was born, guess what I found? 16. Puff (The Magic Dragon), Peter, Paul and Mary
Talk about inducing nostalgia! When I was a senior in high school, I fell in love with a gal (out of Texas) living in a village about 200 miles away & flew my Aeronca Champ over & through some weather that should have earned an award for stupidity - with that song banging around in my head. What an adventure that ultimately led to. I'd give anything to be able to talk to her long enough to apologize for the outcome. I was one of those who couldn't make the distinction between thoughts & feelings. There was logic & pleasure; (God, 'feelings' hurt, what can these gals be rattling on about?) I was 42, before the fog lifted. Kinda like driving down the road, doing 70, seeing the oil pressure light come on, realizing that you forgot to secure the oil filter. (Too late, now!) Calling Roberta Roxanne Rebecca Reynolds!
I just read your post and I have to say this: An Aeronca Champ? A VFR-only plane with "no electrical system" that must be hand-propped to start? (hopefully it had both magnetos operational!) You were one kewl high school senior to actually leave the ground and fly through bad weather (a nein nein with VFR only aircraft) and I would have assumed that the chick would have been impressed. You know, like Bill Joel singing about "...I've been stranded in the combat zone I walked through Bedford Stuy alone Even rode my motorcycle in the rain And you told me not to drive But I made it home alive So you said that only proves that I'm insane"
Turtle never had an airplane...or a car. He did have a minibike that he rode down by the railroad tracks. It had a lawn-mower engine, and when Turtle had a girl on the back it wouldn't go up the slightest incline. Turtle was indeed cool.
It was a 90 HP version (7EC) and did have an electrical system, with a VHF coffee-grinder radio. The turn & bank indicator didn't work, though. That airplane definitely taught me that God loved me, more than I did. I built my flying time for my commercial license in that thing. It made for a lot of great adventure stories to tell my grandson ( only a year & a half, at this time.) Gramps was a lucky guy.
I'd have to fly real low to feel safe, you know, just above tree top and light pole level. And when I think about the turn & bank indicator not working I remember reading how in limited visibility conditions it's possible to lose one's sense of equilibrium and that pilots must rely on instruments to keep planes level. You must have been very adventurous to solo in that plane in those days.
It was high adventure, for sure. That was a fantastic trainer aircraft for airmanship, over flying-the-numbers. I flew the bush, up there, for 15 years - without an accident or violation. Bunches of close-calls, I admit. Some inadvertant; some 'stupid.' Each was one hell of a lesson. I went from zero time to Commercial pilot & Flight Instructor in 9 months. The local Private Pilots with 50-90 flight hours, over ten years, nearly had a heart attack. I did my Instrument Rating, Instrument Instructor Rating & Multi- Engine rating over the next year. That sent all the vets running out to use up their VA benefits. Alaska was about ten years behind the rest of the world. We still had the four- leg Low Frequency Ranges until around 1972. In Army Flight School (1970), I drove the ground & flight instructors nuts, trying to sort out what was different about flying in the "Lower-48." Sometimes they were entertained (and 'educated'); sometimes they thought I was nuts.
Sounds like a great life for a young man. I wanted a Taylor Aerocar ever since I saw one ( N102D) on The Bob Cummings Show around 1960. And then I saw a Thurston Teal in the original The Wicker Man (G-AXZN) and I thought, "How kewl!" That Aerocar is still airworthy but, unfortunately that Teal was vandalized and totaled when the owner landed on some estate and decided to leave it overnight and return to effect repairs later. I can't imagine someone deliberately destroying a plane.
