(Yawn) Just (by phone) helped my friend pack, and get a car service to the airport...

😄

When she was younger (she's about 55+?) she didn't get to go to many concerts, while I saw at least 225+ (of which several bands racked up +/- 18 shows each) concerts starting with The Animals from '65 to '19 The Who (yet again, maybe last time bc Roger was saying they probably won't come back to America)! Several were benefits that lasted for hours with lots of performers!
(much less shows from about 2011 or earlier)

Anyway she became a big BTS fan about ? 2 yrs ago. She just got a tix, and off to the airport to Oakland, CA. 😄 (We're in NYC)
She saw them in a dedicated theater live broadcast last year in L.A.

In the service of Friendship & Fandom! 😄👍🧡


I go sleep nao! 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😄

Hi there. All of you w backyards w, or w/o bird feeders - what kind of birds are you seeing now....

An acquaintance of mine in more southern California has got ?12 swallows nests. She just posted a video of under the roof with nests, and birds flying about!

Meanwhile a cousin in NJ had a vid earlier this week with a nest of baby birds. Maaaaybe robins.

Inspired by tblue37's Post! What 3 puppy breeds (one at a time) would you like to be "attacked" by?

And figure how many. 🤔😁

If those were golden lab puppies in that post vid that were *attacking" that toddler - sign me up. Or what ever they were. 🥰😄
About 7.

Short haired dashund puppies. Black, or red brown. 🥰😄
They're adorable at any size but extra sqeeeable as puppies. About 9.

The contrast between the leaner sort of sculptured look of a fit (vs chonky) German Shepherd and their soft puppy almost plush toy look is amazing, and adorably funny to me. 😄🥰 The typical gray ones. About 6, or 7.


You can pick 4 if you just "have to". 😉😄

How about any of you? Join the puppy pit.

I'm not sure I'll every get used to calling Tomatoes - berries ..

😄

But since they are berries, and some get sooo big I wonder if they are the biggest berries. Unless there's some sub tropical, tropical berries in the USA or elsewhere.

Great Springsteen Quote...

starting to read an article by a super fan on Sprinsteen's live performances.

His live mission continues to be the same as when he first began. This is what he told the audience at the MusicCares “Person of the Year” event in 2013: “I wanted to be great more than anything else, and I wanted to be important in your life. Because you keep us in search of the force that reignites our gifts, our ability to make you want to move, to dance, to love, to make love, to be angry, to act. When we play, we want the hair to stand up on your arms; *we want you to feel the glory. And we want you to be glad of being alive.”*


(Bold/Ital/* my emphasis)

"...It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive!". /Badlands

Interesting, bc having read Bruce's autobiography he does suffer off & on from depression.
I probably wouldn't exactly call myself often a happy person (too much anxiety at times). I do, thank goodness(!!!!!) often have minutes, hours, occasionally in the past even a few days at a time of joy, and great and deep joy.

It seems to me that when he's not in a depressive state he's very capable of feeling the joys, and pulse of life.
So I love this quote.

( Brooooooce! 😄 😉 )
