    Buddy, can you spare a vibe?

    Healing vibes from across the Big Pond. My husband's been on crutches for a good 10 days this summer due to an inflammation in his ankle joint, and that already was extremely painful, and he is only 30. Can't imagine what that must be like for such an old lady. (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

    Travis - Before You Were Young

     

    in the days before you were young

    we used to sit in the morning sun

    we used to turn the radio on

    what happened?

    we'd see our lies in the eyes of fate

    and take our cradles to the grave

    but even then we're never saved

    from danger

     

    and if you ever leave me come

    i will be there waiting

    waiting for you know i will

    i love you for ever

    i'll never say never

     

    but i've only got two hands

    and i'll never learn to dance

    i'll never get a second chance

    whatever

    i'll take the breath away from your sighs

    and wipe the tears away from your eyes

    and hope the fire never dies

    inside you

     

    and if you ever leave me come

    i will be there waiting

    waiting for you know i will

    i love you

    i love you

    i love you...

    Oh. My. God. This picture.

     

    It is totally beyond me how anyone who is sort of in the public eye can have their picture taken like that - unless they just don't want to be taken seriously :ninja?

     

    Still, my favorite Wilco output does also include JB (although I think that A Ghost Is Born is better, just ST is my alltime favorite), and I liked Jay's solo stuff too (not all of it, but a lot), and I too am looking forward to his new record.

     

    I don't understand why he gets so much shit from people who should at least acknowledge his participation in making Wilco one of the greatest bands on earth. And even if it was entirely his fault that things went wrong (just assuming here that people might have come to that conclusion) - his contributions to Wilco's music were significant at some point.

    My maternal grandparents were like my other set of parents growing up. My brother and I were lucky (and maybe spoiled in a way) because all of our other cousins lived all around the world so we got our grandparents all to ourselves. They were the everything to me. They taught me plenty, shared much and loved me probably more than I loved them tho I would never admit it aloud :wub

     

    Almost all of my fondest childhood memories include them. I would and still do gush to people about them. And back in the day I would do whatever I could to make sure my friends got to meet them.

     

    Luckily, they only saw the good in my life. My personal problems (divorce & such) didn't happen until after they passed and for THAT I'm grateful.

     

     

     

    Life has never been the same since they passed and never will *sigh*

     

     

    Btw, they were married over 50 years and died almost 4 months apart to the day.

     

    Almost the same here. My maternal Grandparents were married 54 years and died on 17th & 18th of December, 1994. Within 30 hours of each other, inseparable.

    What a beautiful idea for a thread. I am glad that I had the idea of surprising my daughter with an unexpected parcel full of cheap but cheerful goodies like cinnamon cookies, a gingerbread octoberfest heart "for my very best girl", some nibbles for her rabbits, some candyfloss for her teeth, and some jewellry. The amazed & happy call I just got from her the minute before I opened this thread made me realize that it's the small things that count sometimes.

     

    Like I am so gonna make the most amazing Black Tiger Prawn stirfry for Rob tonight, although I will probably have to slice myself into 2 pieces, seeing the work I have to do for my Dad today. So what? Unlike you, I still got him.

     

    Very sorry for your loss :( Cherish the memories, as they will never cease. xx

    That's so cute, Eric :lol

     

    I still listen to this record regularly. It's very easy the best album of the year IMHO, but then there wasn't much that I dug this year anyway, due to other events occupying my mind, and due to the new REM being............not what I was hoping for.
