1976 Top Ten Songs: Lowdown (#2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (84477) • United States 18h

Ah, the penultimate song that’s now 50 years old. And you’ll know this one if you were alive in the 70s. One of the biggest hits of 1976, the breakout song of this man’s career, and, in reality, “filling the slot” for the number...

1976 Top Ten Songs: The Rubberband Man (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (84477) • United States 28 Mar

Time for the old joke: “it’s the plumber, he’s come to fix the sink.” But while waiting for the plumber I will take you back 50 years to another great song from 1976. Here’s the next song on the list, and it’s...

Marie Coyle I remember this song well. I didn't realize it was about the songwriter's son being bullied.

Dressing a chicken

Judy Evans @JudyEv (375975) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Mar

I hope I haven’t written about this before but if I did it was a long time ago. Searching for words I might have used didn’t help so here goes. Have you ever thought that it’s a funny saying to ‘dress a chicken’? After it’s...

Marie Coyle I think this is called spatchcocking. It is done by some to turkeys and chickens, Supposedly it decreases the cooking time, and keeps the breast area from drying out.

Happy Monday to You All

That cedar situation was one of those “just in time” moments. It was massive and my son wanted it down for months since it was in the way of a parking area. We hated the idea of it coming down, but good thing it did. The inside...

Marie Coyle It's good that your son wanted that tree down, and wow, it is hollow for sure. A tragedy waiting to happen, but now it's gone. The list of things you have been busy with makes my head whirl! I think you need a day just for you to rest. But I know how nice it...

I Am Home

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (54514) • United States 29 Mar

I just wanted everyone to know that I came home Friday afternoon. I know that Amber has posted on me and appreciate all of the kind thoughts and prayers. It will take awhile to recover. I will be in cardio rehab a few times a week...

Do you have a pet, and if so, what are they doing right now?

Marie Coyle It is said that cats rule the household they live in. Sounds like he is telling you he wants to be the one to pick out his treats. Pets are sometimes hard to figure out.

Hello everyone. I hope your day has been going well. It is 63 degrees F and getting dark here at the Jersey Shore. The low for tonight is 46. Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 70s. I am super excited about that! Today was a...

Marie Coyle Other than off-and-on thunderstorms, our week won't be bitter cold. It's still too early to expect that we won't have some temperatures below freezing at night, but it won't be terrible, I don't think. I haven't had the heat on for days now, which makes me so...

When are you going to have kids?

Amber @AmbiePam (116383) • United States 13h

My cousin on my mom’s side (the youngest daughter of my terrible awful uncle) posted on Facebook yesterday something that caught my eye. She got the sickly genes from her dad like I got the sickly genes of my mom. Although, and...

Marie Coyle It's wrong to ask someone why they don't have children, or when are they going to have them. It's also wrong to ask why you aren't married. Those are extremely personal questions. I was taught old school, you never, ever asked people these type of questions....

Constant Chatter

Amber @AmbiePam (116383) • United States 16h

I’m sitting in my living room, and I turn off my TV. And all I hear is muffled voices. After five minutes of this, I turn my TV back on to drown out the muffled voices. Looking out my peephole, it’s visitors of the neighbor who...

Marie Coyle I have a neighbor across the street who is LOUD. She's 82, drives all the time, and her car stereo is aways blaring. She loves her music! However, it's always rap music, which I truly do not like. When she gets home, she puts her car in the garage and shuts...

Are you honest with your doctor?

Amber @AmbiePam (116383) • United States 15h

I remember hearing a report that stated most people weren’t completely honest with their doctors. I remember thinking that was so silly, and I couldn’t imagine what the big deal was. Fast forward to last Monday when I told my...

Marie Coyle I have never really cared for protein bars. I do like the Kind brand, but too pricey and a bit too sweet for me. And I really, really don't like milk chocolate, just dark chocolate. And many of them seem to have palm oil as an ingredient, and I don't want to...

Marie Coyle Clouds today. Off and on thunderstorms, etc. all week it seems. But my area is in a draught and has been for over a year, so I am sure the Midwestern farmers will be glad to see the extra rain this week. Have fun with the Hair of the Dawg!

Do you have plans for Easter?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126793) • United States 29 Mar

If you are Christian then today is Palm Sunday and next Sunday is Easter. My family isn't particularly religious--never has been. Sure we celebrate Christmas and Easter but they are more like secular holidays along the lines of...

Marie Coyle We had originally planned to be with my daughter and son in law for Easter. But his Dad took a bad turn and they are heading up to Chicago to see about him, so nothing is for sure now. If we are home, just me and the son, we will be OK. We won't have anything...

1986 Top Ten Songs: Montana Cafe (#6)

Four Walls @FourWalls (84477) • United States 26 Mar

Marie Coyle I don't think I've heard it, but I listened to it twice, because I really like the one line in the chorus of ''Oh, we got steaks and pie and the special's still a piece of mind,'' That's just a great line!

Marie Coyle I am sorting some clothes that I need to donate as they are just too big. No nap today...I missed that. It's cold here at night, too. But it will soon be very hot from what I have read about this summer's expected weather.

Warmer Day

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (131989) • Marion, Ohio 29 Mar

Marie Coyle We made it to 62 for a bit today. But it's still windy, which makes it feel a lot cooler. You're going to have that kitchen spotlessly clean, which is hard to do when a person cooks every day. I spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to keep up with the...

Sunday through Saturday

Amber @AmbiePam (116383) • United States 29 Mar

Over time, my favorite day of the week has definitely changed. Right now, I prefer Mondays more than any other, but in school it was always Friday. Do you have a favorite day of the week?

Marie Coyle I don't think I ever thought about it. Like you said, during my very young school days it was Friday. I still like Friday's, to be specific Friday's at 5 PM. That sounds dumb, I know. But when we get through the days of appointments, treatment center, etc. IF...
