Aw man, I'm gettin' all teary-eyed reading this thread. I was totally close with all of my grandparents (I knew only three of them) and now I have none left. My mom and I were just talking about this yesterday... it's been 17 years - seventeen - since we lost my grandma (I called her Mimi). She was ...

I'm gonna go ahead and put in my vote for the Pacific NW, as well, specifically Oregon. I've been there several times, even once in March. We split our time between Portland (my favorite city in the U.S.) and Eugene and the weather was gorgeous: sunny and 70 every day (I know that's not typical but ...

I've been watching/playing hockey for over 20 years now and that was one of the best fights I've ever seen. But I can appreciate and respect all aspects of the game of hockey, including the fighting. Is that my favorite part of the game? No. Do I get really annoyed when I hear people talking about g...

My husband snoring like a water buffalo in the other room! He's sick, though, and took some Nyquil so I guess I can't be too upset or annoyed....

No what's sad is that he's been around for mere months and has 10000 posts, and I've been around for over two years and barely have over 100

Wow. That's disturbing. Is Mom a crackhead?

Reason #137 I don't think I'll be having kids: they eventually become teenagers.

I just skimmed through the pages of this thread and seeing that you already bought Nebraska, I won't tell you to go out and get it. That would've been my suggestion. But all this talk about The Rising... I'd forgotten just how much I appreciate and love that album. I'm gonna have to go pull it out n...

That's not a confession. That's something to be proud of! It's one of my all time faves, too.

Media Player's on Shuffle again. Now it's playing "Blue Eyes" - Uncle Tupelo

I'm sooooo jealous of those of you who live near Raleigh. Tift is one of my favorites. Saw her live once but it was one of the most rockin' shows ever. Seeing her open for Son Volt would be amazing.

Hmmm... maybe it's worthy of a road trip....

Yep, BoDeans are still around. Just saw 'em over the summer at Ravinia. For me, it's all about nostalgia with BoDeans. Their music takes me back to the end of high school (it's what all the "cool kids" were listening to back then) and well into my drunken college days. I'm glad to see they're still ...

I couldn't listen to the song. That download thingy didn't work for me I'm sure it is operator error as I am so not computer savvy. Guess I'll have to take y'all's word for it that this Maria chick rules.

I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one who thinks Sheryl Crow is undeserving of all the attention and praise she receives. I have never been impressed with her music or her voice. Her songwriting is decent but I can't say there's one Sheryl Crow song that I just love. Overall, average at best.

I'll be there!

I'm down. Someone else may have to do the singin' for me, though
