Good morning, house of early risers.



Aw, ac invited us all to his birthday lunch! :hooray: :Cake:

Strange.

I thought most of us were out to lunch already.:D


And just so's y'all know, I'm not saying one word about AC's birthday until Susie has posted a birthday thread.

Not.

One.

Word.

I always look forward to my birthday (time), but not because it's my birthday, but because that is usually about the time that winter is unofficially over and there is a hint of spring in the air. A few early flowers will even be in bloom.

The exact centre of all of existence
I'm sort of the opposite... Growing up, I used to be rather annoyed by the fact that I missed out on being born in Winter by just under a month.

I've never experienced a snowy Winter, we just get mild ones here, but I vastly prefer our Winter over our Summer. Blech. It's way too hot here in Summer. As in, quite often over 40C, when I prefer about 21C if I want a hot day. (Most people would call that chilly, but not me.)

As a kid, my favourite temperature was 15C.

I was just watching a video a friend posted of her daughter singing at a talent show. She sang Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.

That song was also used to play tribute to the shooting victims of Sandy Hook.

For those of you overseas who probably haven't seen it and who want to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO64urOFNaY

Warning: It's not one you watch for fun.

The guy who begins the song is Blake Shelton from Nashville.

Feel free not to view it.

We have mild winters here, with a little snow sometimes. Spring and fall are very nice here, but July and August can sometimes be very hot and humid. Outdoor activities other than going to the pool or lakes tends to slow down during those two months and then picks up again in September.

You might try going to YouTube and searching for "Hallelujah The Voice NBC".

My internet connection is running like a slug - to mix a metaphor - I'm going to reboot the modem and try again later.

I mentioned you on Facebook on the links to the videos. I'm not sure if it will let you watch the video that way or not.

I know, right? Haven't seen or heard from them yet this morning. Should probably check on that but it's SO quiet!

Why does it always do this when I really want to see something?

Use hidemyass to watch it. Works on most videos blocked to certain regions. :D

Never trust a kid who is too quiet.

Or a chihuahua.

I posted something the other day about a friend posting on Facebook that she wasn't inviting everyone to the wedding, but that they were welcome to make a gift toward their honeymoon.

I just heard a promo on the morning news about an upcoming segment involving couples NOT inviting people to their wedding and the reaction it's getting.

Good Morning to those Who-Woke-Up-Too-Dang-Early.

I hate it when I wake up and can't go back to sleep.

Well, they are still talking about the blizzard. This is supposed to be a "big one".

This is my friend's daughter singing last year at the school talent show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqCgbsiL1gA

And this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdWCN32N9yA (watch the volume, she turns it up a little in to the song)

Not great video quality.

She just turned 14, I think.

:hooray:I got it. I got it. Took several reboots and a swift kick to the CPU but it worked.

What a little sweetie pie. I think there's a stunning voice in the making there. I left comments - on youtube and fb. :D

Use hidemyass to watch it. Works on most videos blocked to certain regions. :D

What? It looks too big in these...? Oh. You're talking software or something. :D Please, share the secret. How do I hide my ass? :D



ETA: That blizzard looks really bad. Hope everyone will be okay.

Now my mallet is a sexy mallet!

A giant, sexy, inflatable mallet!
