Apparently, nobody else saw it either, lol.

14. Can't offer you an ocean these days, though I grew up a few miles from one

Have a Great Lake instead:

Been reading your recent threads and haven't commented. Words fail me. Images - I hope - do not.

15. My good friend

I have missed you here. Those pics hit home to me more than you can know tonight. I cannot even begin to tell you what those pics mean to the both of us (a throw back to Ohio and Erie)

You gonna be around for a spell tonight?

32. I didn't know you were in Bakersfield, I used to live there (1990-'95 or so)

Right down behind East Hills Mall in a crappy, roach-ridden apartment. I finally wised up and moved :P

22. Hi peggy, got one I think really reminds me of you

My wife told me about this song, and when I see your posts for some reason it reminds me of them (maybe because it is so poetic):

23. I'm listening to it as I post to you...

It's so graphic!

And poetic all at the same time...

A mixture of anger and wistfulness...

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:

25. I haven't heard this one...

But you're going to have to stop!

I'm really tired, and I need to get to bed!

But, thanks, sweetie...

It's a beautiful song...

I wonder why I remind you of so many songs...

29. You've said that before...

It kinda does bother me, I guess...

I don't want to be seen as the mom of such a great, sexy guy like yourself!

30. ROFL don't make me post another song for you....

too late...(but just because you remind me of mom does not mean I don't see you as that sexy older lady - I just meant it in a good way, that you are cool and kind like she was)

31. I'll listen to it tomorrow!

I'm really dead...

OK...I'm glad you cleared up how you see me!

No matter how old I get, I feel sexy!

And it thrills me to have cool people like you see me that way!

G'night!

33. Nothing said or sung from the heart is ever lame

That's a beautiful song that I've never heard before and probably never would if left to my own devices. Thanks for posting. The sentiment really resonates with me. Take care.
