You fit right in. (Oops, did I say that out loud?)

Tico's appendix and gall bladder also abruptly left Bon Jovi this year, but to those ingrates I say good riddance.

I have it in the car, but would like to listen to Ed when I'm at home.

For 3 or 4 dollars a month more you can add it online and do alot more personalization and get a lot more channels. Wow factor is there.

I didn't know that!

that is pretty much the begining and ending of any dream / wishlist I have.

has been for almost 20 years.

can i write it?
want to fill in some of the details?

Stepdaughter called earlier and asked what do we want/need for Xmas

Neither one of us could think of a thing until Mr Pipi said "food". Not that we don't have any...we do. It's just that I hate cooking it

So I said frozen dinners would be nice. A whole shitload of Marie Callendar dinners

I would prefer a personal chef, but they're probably too expensive

Realistic? Hard to say I'm a spoiled guy and have just about everything I could ever want. Maybe some good books, some video games, money etc...

Dream? A property in the tropics I could go live on.

I want a car.. a used car with a heater and AC and with a good prognosis for lasting a few years. A radio would be nice.. a CD player even nicer.. but it's the heater and AC that are essential. So that is what I am wishing for and, like I said, I believe in miracles so we wait, we see.

If I had even $10K, I could be a millionaire by 2020. It's impossible to make money grow with no seeds.

just havin some fun graywarrior and definitely with no predisposition for that fun to come at your expense. OK, I will indulge in a bit of selfishness, I would love to see a berth in the Super Bowl for my Seahawks, I would very much like that for a late Christmas present.

GO HAWKS

Lettuce be grateful for what we have, and go forward. I don't carrot all about whether Florida is there or not; I will not cast asparagus on it in this holiday season. It bean what it is, I yam leeking forward to a season filled with the true spirit of Christmas. We should all share a portion of our celery with those who have little at this time.

Well played lastlib, well played.

...it's not all mine, I cabbaged a little of it from another source....

I can see the frustration within her...
The desktop PC that we all use isn't comfortable for her to sit at for more than a few minutes at a time...
The psoriatic arthritis is making it impossible for her to write much longhand...

She's won every award that WVU gives to their poets, but is losing her ability to create simply due to these circumstances.

With a laptop again (our last one died by virus after we loaned it to relatives), she could sit or lay down on the bed and be comfortable for longer periods of time while composing her poetry -- and i know she has a host of things swirling around in her head that ~need~ that outlet.

Things will be kinda tight until tax-refund time, but that's the thing on the top of the list once we get that in the bank.

One case of onionskin envelopes.

A big box of sealing wax sticks.

A monogram seal.

Ten of these pens with and a case of refills:

Makes me feel like I'm back at St. Mike's practicing the Palmer Method.

I wanna see if my fancy writing jones will be satiated before I lay down real money. I realize there are more expensive fountain pens but that one looks so slick.

What I find stunning is how hard it is to find real onionskin paper/envelopes. There's like maybe three manufacturers of it now.

I used to have a dip pen and I loved it, especially when I was going through my pointillism/stipple phase.

Now I have this urge to write on old timey paper, with an old timey pen and seal it in an old timey fashion.

I did a lot of that in art school.

I find it therapeutic. Seeing a thing take form. Knowing when to stop with the dots. Those Pentel fine point markers are nice but nothing beats a good nib and a bottle of India ink when it comes to giving your stipple some personality.

My favorite picture of him, though, is onstage with Joan Baez when they were both so young and beautiful.

I left my job of 20 yrs for a better opportunity and after 2 months, they laid me off, so I'd like some consistent contract freelance work, please.

And some slippers. My feet are cold.

and I know I'm not gonna get it... means I have to buy the damn thing myself.

Is that expensive?

well in Calais, ME.

Yup.

I would like
A ride in a hot air balloon
A handsome guy with green eyes
A plane ticket to Prague (or anywhere)
A better paying job
Tickets to the opera

I don't care about, need, or want anything else.

Obviously

ps: Who's this Bobster looser?

That's an easy one, as I just had finished my last meeting as you wrote this.

That means I'll have to start being cool and well versed as a Lounge person.

It takes a while to give it up, and you're tempted to go as a private resident to get your point across. I've given up reading the local paper and I'm much happier for it. Every once in a while I'll read it and realize that nothing has really changed in thirty years; except the names.

I did a ten year stretch on the council and two years as Mayor. Unfortunately, we may have to move out of the area because of foolish decisions by the council advised by the municipal engineer and manager...without thinking of the consequences. My propery taxes alone are $21,000.

However, the council found it necessary for the 'sake of the children' to bond for a five million dollar sports field complex with artificial turf, remote controlled scoreboard, refreshment stand, bathrooms, a playground, heated dugouts and heated PRESS BOXES. We already have several fields.

Yeah, I'm griping. I guess I haven't really given it up.

The young families tell the older residents to move if they can't afford the taxes.
I hate to say it, but we seem to have raised a horribly self-centered generation.

I guess we understand each other.

In my case, it was a 5 years (technically over this coming Jan 6th) which long story short, started out as a hell of a ride because I was the outsider of Boss Tweed group. This year, when a majority was built, we got hammered over dirty police stuff that I'm still going to be in court over.

I don't wish to move again, but you know, it could go that way, since they swept us and have a newly batch bunch of fools getting ready to take there orders.

However, lots of things change, as you well know. I was most disappointed with the apathy and intimidation of normal citizens to get behind us in public. People have no intestinal fortitude, young or old.

I have a lot of nice pendants and no chain to hang them on.

I can put some silver-filled jump rings on it and maybe add a silver toned-plated clasp. I could send it to you.

... in a place where no one has ever heard of Christmas.

Boss running hat and running shoes

Out Among The Stars, A Lost Johnny Cash Album, Coming March 25, 2014

Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, is proud to announce the release of Out Among The Stars (Columbia/Legacy), a remarkable new album comprised of 12 recently discovered Johnny Cash studio recordings, on Tuesday, March 25, 2014.

The tracks on Out Among The Stars were originally recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at Columbia Studios in 1981 and 1111 Sound Studios in 1984 and produced by Billy Sherrill, the architect of the "countrypolitan" sound who was heading A&R at CBS Records Nashville at the time.

On these songs—which include duets with June Carter Cash and Waylon Jennings—Johnny worked with an expanded ensemble featuring a young Marty Stuart on guitar and mandolin and Nashville A-Team members Jerry Kennedy (guitar), Pete Drake (steel guitar), Hargus "Pig" Robbins (piano) and Henry Strzelecki (bass).

The recordings, which have never been released in any form, are not demos, outtakes or alternate versions. They remained in the vaults during the years Columbia Records released Johnny Cash's last albums for the label and were subsequently forgotten.

I wouldn't mind a used one, particularly because my last one was stolen. I hope Santa reads DU.

I'd love to have a little getaway. Which beach depends on whether I can also have a transporter or have to do it the old fashioned way.

These were about as hard as the Space Shuttle to land!

Near the end of the F-104's life with the Italian air force they put some fun paint jobs on them.

The plane looks like it's doing Mach 2 sitting still

I hope you get it for Xmas.

i used to love my life--i was so happy
haven't felt that way in over four years

Probably not for the same reason. You mentioned the death of your mother in another post and the loss of your dog. I'm very sorry to hear that. While I can't relate directly to said loss I know what it's like to not be happy for long periods. In the 31 years of my life I think I've only been truly happy for a few years at a time. I've had depression and anxiety or something similar all the rest. I can't say I have any excuse either aside from genes, perhaps the way I was raised. I've spent long periods just living off my parents, no job or school.

.b/c when I was a kid I wanted a telescope and I danged FORGOT about it. I'd say it's about time somebody gimme my telescope for Christmas! ; )

And a camper van / new special guitar / camera with an eyepiece looky thing in it, and maybe a nice cabin out in the country with a wood / oil stove and electricity and free wifi...

She's taken herself on a rough ride at way too young an age. She's just 17 and as far as I can tell she seems to have gotten past some of the worst of it but my heart is still so terrified for her....

I wish I could see the future and know she's going to be all right. There's nothing else I want at all. Just some peace that it turns out okay for her after these crazy past few years.

but it all still feels so fragile.

So young and so impressionable... the relapse rate for teen drug addicts is terrible.

I hope you get everything you want for your Christmas and thanks for the love!! Needed that hug. I actually got teary typing my post. Your question really made me think what's important and what I really wanted.

May you win!

ain't gonna happen

Still can't find a decent job. lol

a plane ticket to Ukraine to see my señorita, but realistically this year, I'll just end up getting new clothes and a new game for Christmas.

french press travel coffee mug, please!

A new job that will be fun and fulfilling (have been unemployed since July), a windfall of cash (winning the lottery would do just fine), better health for me and my family and it would sure be nice to find someone to fall in love with- it's been a very very long time that I've been in a romantic relationship. Any single, relatively normal boomer men out there seeking companionship with someone living in sunny Fla?
