Jules

Too bad she got rid of that dress, but then again everyone is different when it comes to saving things. My mom saved everything. I mean she preserved her dress forever wrapped up in some airtight bag and a box. And her mother, my grandmother died when I was in the 4th grade sadly. But my mom saved her mom's cream wedding outfit too and still has that preserved! But no my mom is not going to wear her mom's outfit.  We are not going that far. 

Oh this dress will be saved forever though, my mom is big on memories. Photos etc. Just everything.

How Sweet.   

Jules is getting hitched in May eh? Nice. I assume that it goes without saying that your soulmate likes cats  too right? Purr Fect...

Cool to hear that you get to save money & wear a family heirloom/dress as well. Happy for ya. 

All right I am done for tonight.  

Give LeBron 3-4 more years and he'll have the assists and rebound record too in the playoffs.

He's gonna have it all!!!

My Persian 

Ancient records on the Persians lie with M Kitty.

Recent study is actually proving to be hilarious.  

Hey Jules, are you gonna see the new "Keanu: Gangsta Kitty" movie? It looks funny...

I think my brain can't handle it anymore after tonight's debate crap show. 

It took Kaine until the very end to start bringing up the history of homophobia and anti-women's rights and outright bigotry of Pence and Trump, when he should've been nailing them from the very beginning, not waiting until the final 20 minutes. Ughhhhhh, I feel like this was screwed up from the get go. 

I'd rather discuss Stone Hands right now than what I just witnessed. Holy crap that was bad. Kaine IMO messed this up. 

I am kinda sick so I forgot about the debate.   Ugh. Heading to bed soon. I was watching preseason NBA.  Knicks and Rockets......

Okay......Stone Hands for President!!!!!!!!!!!!

The good news about the debate - it wasn't good enough to give Trump a jump in polls. Trump pretty much has killed any opportunity he's had of making this a close race, when he bashed soldiers with PTSD and mental problems. And Joe Biden slammed him for it. Kaine should've been doing that in the debates, but I do expect Hillary to bring it up in the next debate. 

lol I had no idea that was even a Ted Nugent song until I had looked it up. And yeah he did get annoying with "stuff"......but we don't have to go there on Mr. Nugent here. Sigh.

Talk about an education with the 80's lately with the Miami Vice learning.

Granted, I only seen 4 episodes so far but I feel like it's been a lot to absorb. lol.

And this one is in my top group for songs too so far, best choice of song for that episode too. Seamless with the story content with so many songs on this show.

Peter Gabriel had a lot of songs on Miami Vice. 'Rhythm of the Heat' and 'Biko' were in the episode Evan. But that record right there, 'So' was a monster hit album during the show's prime. Half of that entire album is all used in season 3 - Red Rain, Sledgehammer, Do What We're Told, Mercy Street, Big Time - all those songs are in season 3 in various episodes. 

Bob Dylan; the rarest exception to having a crappy voice yet writing songs that defined your decade. Put him up next to the Beatles and the Stones and above everyone else, he belongs there in praise. 

I love Bob Dylan.

*sigh*

I read Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash had a lot of respect for one another too. I actually prefer Dylan's  "it ain't me babe" covered by Johnny Cash and June Carter instead.

Holy crap did Dylan write the best lyrics.......like the God of lyrics if you could have a God of lyrics.

Tangled up in Blues is my fave by him...nice set of classic songs, Lady!

New house, new spouse, new body. I'm sensing a pattern here. Remember, to slow down & enjoy all these changes once in awhile. Happy for ya Jules! We'll be here when you can breathe & come up for some air. 

Thanks for letting us know.  Enjoy!

Aye! Happy I came to see this.. I was beginning to wonder! I am happy for your upcoming life changes! Best of luck to you both. We will see you soon 

It will be real interesting to see what the Lakers do in the Draft and Free Agency. Magic is about to pull a rabbit out his hat IMO. Something big about take place. I already like the progress that Ingram, Clarkson, and Randle are making too. Ingram had a bad game tonight but has played well most of the season. Lonzo is going to be great IMO, give him another year or 2. He already does a lot of things well.

Need to get some damn weight/muscle on Ingram. I say this every week. Last year I saw him literally "bounce off" Lebron James, for real. He bounced off Lebron like a rubber ball.

And to be fair, it was a good game tonight too.....

His dad was coaching over there a few years ago, I wouldn't be surprised if Kobe wanted to get involved with something over there. 

Yeah Kobe's dad was always big with international basketball, thats partly how Kobe grew up in Italy as a kid.

Kobe's dad is an interesting topic....

He played for the Clippers at one point when he was at the twilight of his career...

Kobe had some weird feud with his mom and dad some years back, I think you might remember it. Something about his memorabilia being taken??? And they weren't talking for years. 

I think you secretly want to become the Bad Boy Pistons.  Not the Knicks.

Honestly, Kelly O outside of his unnatural fascination with Kevin Love isn't really always too bad. He did give a nice thank you note today to Boston too and said thanks for giving a guy from Canada a shot and letting him be a part of their city. I don't feel bad blood with Boston from him right now since he did become a semi cult following star in Boston.

Yes he is from Canada.

He might do well with Miami, Riley seems to be talking him up pretty well so it sounds like you will be seeing him a lot out there. Riley likes his toughness and ability to hold his liquor. (made that part up)

He may fit well with Hassan Whiteside who some claim is dirty too. Heat really are looking like a solid rough defensive group again.......

I have a great love for that Bad Boy Pistons team. They straight up broke their opponents physically and mentally, it was fun to watch until the rule change to make them go away.

I read that the Cavs tried to trade Kevin Love in a 3 team trade to Denver. 

The chemistry is going to be ruined next year with him in Cleveland IMO.

Well the Celtics "maybe" tried to move Crowder before they did Bradley to free up cap space. Crowder is on a pretty good deal though and a tough defender with size, kinda glad he stayed. It only would have happened with a sign and trade with Utah but I am guessing Gordon Hayward said "Hell to the no" with giving Utah anything the way it sounds. Since the deal only happened if Hayward agreed to sign off to it.

But IT said "everything will be okay" with Crowder/Hayward since Crowder now is behind Hayward in the depth chart.

Since IT is now apparently the spokesperson of the team with "everything will be FINE, we going to the finals man."  Yes IT said this, he said "everything will be fine and we are probably heading to the finals".  And last year he spoke to the crowd in Boston before the final regular season game and said "We got a big big playoff run coming."

But it's different since with Kevin Love, they pretty much spit on him daily in Cleveland and TP his house nightly. So it's a lot worse........Kevin Love gets the Otto Warmbier treatment by Cavs fans. With the Cavs fans being the DPRK.

I think the winner of the Packers/Giants will be your SB team from the NFC. That should be a great game. I don't trust the Cowboys because they have a rookie QB nor do I trust Atlanta in the NFC. Steelers are my only hope in the AFC of knocking off the Pats. I just cat trust KC because of Alex Smith.

cat - cant, of course I would say CAT  

I wonder if the black cat has to go through concussion protocol??

Thank the Cubs for making everyone realize something.....

LeBron IS the only hope in Cleveland.  Seriously, Cleveland fans probably wish he could play baseball too. They have LeBron and nothing else!!!

We have 6 more days of torture for waiting on something else....

Thought you meant the Colts at first but then I realized thats on Sunday lol.

This is so true, he really IS all they have in Cleveland. I almost felt bad for the Indians but then I didn't care in the 9th anymore once my benadryl kicked in.

Oh and yeah Lakers beat the Hawks yesterday which is a big win.

Being a Cubs fan, (which I have been since 1984 as long as I have been a Colts fan actually) I am so happy they pulled it off. To be honest at this point I really don't even care how the Football season ends now because I pretty much know that the Colts aren't a SB contender, probably wont even make the Playoffs at 3-5. After the Cubs winning it, whatever happens in Football and Basketball I am ok with it + Peyton got his 2nd Ring last season as well. Colts have the Ring in 2006, Cubs have it now so I am good. Regarding Basketball, if LeBron wins it again more power to him as he is the best player in the league which I never have disputed. Just not sure where I would rank him all-time = he definitely is Top 10 but not so sure he is Top 5? but it's all opinion and preference when it comes to stuff like that. I know the Pacers probably wont beat the Cavs in the Playoffs so it is what it is. I am not a Warriors fan at all either, they are just a pick I made to win it all.

Same to you Lady!

Happy 4th Jules!

That kitten snoozing in the outdoor flag hammock rocks Jules. 

So does that mean that Matthew is John Travolta? Just joking Jules.

Bogie, you have an almost supernatural knack for finding off the beaten music path tracks that outstanding good & very memorable indeed!

hanging tough

Love it Jules...I've been 'walkin the line for many years too!!..

Yep love Johnny Cash. Walk the line indeed Brent....

I love the trumpets at the beginning of that classic number Jules.

Here is the remainder of that War & Peace" joke: "I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia." Especially funny to me because in high school for foreign language class we had to read Leo Tolstoy's work in both German & Spanish. Not fun at all IMO.

SW1 - during my school days everything was foreign!

Good stuff southwest, I love Woody Allen. .

Miracle 3 pt shot then a miracle 3 pt shot. Whooo hooooo. 

I hope Michigan St. was watching.

Please don't remind  I bet Magic Johnson was ready to kick some butt after that loss.

Talk about a nail in the coffin shot at the buzzer baby...Bang! Turn out the lights NC it's over. 

Black cats are the best! I miss mine also.

I don't have a picture of mine on this computer, but damn...most awesome animal in the world. 11 years of friendship, I'll forever miss the poor guy. 

For you two:

I think the American will win this year and she should hold onto first. She's a pretty girl too and has had some makeup endorsements.

If she becomes world champion this weekend it could help spark a revival in skating again like back in the old days when we had Kristi Yamaguchi everywhere. But, it's tougher these days......

She can also win as long as she don't fall on her butt since it's in America and the home crowd will be nice.

The Russians on this girls tails though.....eek watch out. Russians pull out a lot of tricks in long programs to get all fancy. It won't be easy......so don't take my word. I am still learning the new scoring since I stopped skating competitively several years ago.

If this girl don't win from America it's a darn shame since it's in Boston and she is from around there I think.

This Russian woman is in second place and could win too, she's a beast.

Russian girl #2 who can also win, she's a beast lol

This one worries me the most......she is the current European Champion and is so little, tiny and wicked lol. Fierce skater.

The American girl currently in 4th has no real shot IMO. I highly doubt it.

^^^I was right. That girl up above in blue won it all. So yes a Russian won it all.  

The American Gracie Gold choked and fell on her opening jump combination. Sigh. Poor girl. But, the two Russians ahead of her NAILED it.

That girl in blue might be the best female skater I ever seen in my life and I can say she deserves to be world champ. I am still having chills over this girl. 

The other American I said had no shot rose up and won the silver. The girl who was in first fell to 4th.

So in the end a Russian took the gold and bronze and an American silver.

On Christmas day. 2016 just wasn't going to stop taking people away from us....ugh, this sucks. 

This death thing is getting absolutely ridiculous for 2016.

Yes Jules, 2016 has dealt a heavy blow to several memorable singers/performers. It's alarming to see so many artists perish--Glenn Frey, Prince, Bowie, & now Micheal George.

If there is a lesson here, parents don't give your kids dual first names or become a legend under just 1 iconic name I guess. 

I love that part.

I gotta thank Bogie though for getting me a hold of this album almost a week ago. I can't stop listening to it! It's groovy man.

Damn, I figured I was the resident Zappa nut. You gotta get Absolutely Free and enjoy the monstrosity that is known as "Brown Shoes Don't Make it" Honestly though any FZ up till about 81' is tremendous.

I think you are the only two here who love him as far as I know lol. But, I might be joining in soon. Got a lot to learn, I will check all that out that you mentioned.

Yep!

Live and Let Die reminds me of Jane Seymour reading tarot cards in the Bond movie

Does this mean that Jules just got a promotion? Congrats I guess...I really don't understand this Status Update or it clearly went over my head. That's okay, that happens a lot to SW1 these days.

What a shame and that was an ugly injury.  He is most likely gone for the year and hopefully returns to pre-injury form.

Celtics start 0-2 but against two tough opponents and after an emotional injury disaster. What is kinda sad and bizarre, is in two games Jaylen Brown honestly looks like the best Celtics player all around. Kyrie was a mess tonight.

Boston can't go too far this year IMO if they have to just rely overly on Brown and Tatum, they are far too young and raw.

Although I try not to be the sort of person who over reacts. I mean even the Warriors lost their opener lol But we all know the Warriors will be awesome when they kick in some point this season as usual.

there is only one boss..Bruce Springsteen.. :-)

Actor Kelsey Grammer portrayed the Mayor Of Chicago on a cable TV show called "The Boss" too, but I will always remember him as Dr. Fraiser Crane on NBC's "Cheers" & his hugely successful spinoff show.

And of course who can forget "Boss Hog" on the "Dukes Of Hazard" TV show as well.

Good question Peytonator! I was wondering the exact same thing. Care to elaborate on this status update Jules?

Look it up! December 21st, the beginning of Aquarius.

Lets also hope nothing dramatic happens. I mean bad, someone might do something dumb out there. They often do.

Aquarius brings good things as far as the zodiac for birthdays which is Jan 21 to Feb 18, however, maybe the water carrier could carry some snow my way (which some people don't view as good like I do)
