Monterrey Trace - Thanks, it was a difficult time. Once diagnosed they said he wouldn't have long to live and would be bedridden til he died. So, my old man being who he was managed to get out of his bed. Very good Steve's dad (I wasn't a Cappy back then) they said but you won't be able to walk, so he promptly had someone get him a zimmer and took himself off to the bathroom as he didn't like the indignity of doing his 'business' in bed. They then said he would need to remain in the hospital but he managed to get them to let him go home. Eventually I had to go back to work to pay the bills but didn't want to leave when he was so ill, 'don't you worry about me son, i'll be alright' he said, so off I went and six days later he died with pneumonia (back in hospital). The whole thing triggered an empathy I never thought I had. So when I say I feel for someone who (or their family) who has difficulties, I really do.

Chee, let me know when they get to the talent part of that show. lol!

Austin, my son pronounces it the same way you do.

Sigur Ros - Here are two my son likes Untitled 7

Fljotavik

Not fer meh...

Peas Lily, sorry to hear yer pop isn't doing so well. Best wishes to him.

Thanks for all the well wishes! My pop is doing okay. Besides some bladder issues and a new hernia. *sigh* It's nothing that has to be operated on yet, but if it becomes problematic it will. He'll get a PET scan at some point in the coming months. My poor mum wasn't feeling good. I'm not sure if it's her heart or her diabetes? I was just hoping she wouldn't hurl in my car :-/ She was looking a bit better when we stopped on the way home and got something to eat. She really wanted her recliner and a blankey. lol! I bet they're both home sleeping already.

The hubs took me dootah back to college today, so I'll have 2 days of buckwild, house to myself, concert level music...to which I'll prolly be feckin cleaning the house to both days. lol!

scubz, I just googled lipoma images. Niiiice! That had to be a real pisser carrying that around. ack!

Happy birthday Skippygirlchild! How old was she yesterday?

Let's dance!

campbell :- Just for you... Ohh! And anyone else who might be interested!!!! This will also give you links to some more of her amazing talent.

Hey Joe, just another fan here hopefully on his way to guitar stardom as well. Just got a solo act in the upcoming school band competition with my playing, which apparently was pretty popular among the tryouts, can't wait to see what it'll be like when I actually play at the show.

Campbell & Fatape: I'm glad you saw it. I actually posted that in the beginning of the year. Thank you for posting that again. I enjoy watching her sand art talents. Kensiya Simonova is her name and in my opinion, I think her talent is one of the best talents that I have ever seen. I even think she's better than some of the America's Got Talent Finalists.

Skippygirl: Happy Birthday to your eldest!

scubz, he stuck in his thumb, and pulled out a....oh shit!

Slash also posted about getting a fundraiser together for Haiti on Twitter. "SlashHudson Looking into organizing a big fund raiser concert for Haiti. "

There has been an outpouring of support from the public. To help, people can make an unrestricted donation to the International Response Fund at www.redcross.org or by calling 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767). The public can also help by texting “Haiti” to 90999 to send a $10 donation to the Red Cross, through an effort backed by the U.S. State Department. Funds will go to support American Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

Just popped on here.. saw the Red Cross link.... hopped over..... made a donation . It was safe and secure and tangible way of helping. Thanx Michelle ..you rock!

Peas Lily, Yay! Way to be! It was easy, and even a little goes a long way. I can't even imagine what those people are going through.

.

Someone titled this one Years In The Rain lol!

T-Bones, This one's just for you!

Glitzman: we are doing fine over here, thank you, except for the darn weather, as always here in Chicago.. good luck with the races man, We would love to have you back again, hope you come to chicago....

Do the Stu: I´m glad you commented on that, I like the MV´s first album and their previous band called At the Drive in, there are some pretty good stuff on those records..

Listened to Sigur Ros today and this I have definitely heard beforeSTARALUR BUT where? Radio ? Tv? idk......

Thanks "everyone" for the prayers and positive thoughts. I was feeling pretty down this morning....more down than my pop's appearing to let on. I should be ashamed of myself people are facing tragic circumstances with courage and I was in a woe is me mood. ( I do that sometimes) :-)

Cappy Steve- I am sorry to hear the rough go your dad had before he passed. I have more empathy for people than I did as a yougster . What does'nt break you.... ..makes you.

Michelle - Glad your dads check up went okay. Hope your mom feels better.....

edit- missed that" Years in the rain" link earlier...thats funny....kinda feels like that in my part of Oregon lately ...lol

punkdude75 - I'm not much of a fan of At The Drive In, to be honest (or Sparta, the other ATDI spinoff). I really LOVE TMV though.
