I so envy people with musical talent. I have none. Zero. Nada. Zip. I can't sing and I can't play an instrument. I think it would be such a wonderful gift to create music. If I were to play an instrument, I would want to play the guitar. I actually took a few lessons from a flamenco guitarist many years ago, but then life got in the way and I was unable to continue.
Every once in a while, a musical artist comes along that literally stops me in my tracks. I remember the first time I heard Andrea Bocelli sing. I was absolutely spellbound. That also happened back in December of 2006 when I was listening to, but not really watching, The Late Show with David Letterman. He introduced two guitarists from Mexico, Rodrigo and Gabriela, and right from the beginning, they grabbed my full attention. I was mesmerized. There are other videos on the internet of their performances but this is the one I saw that night. Enjoy.

Hi MEK, I'm guessing you have been on puppy duty all night.
Off to read the blog.
Oh - I keep forgetting to tell everyone....
Extreme Home Make Over is in Tucson this week -
They had five families waiting to hear those famous words yesterday!!
Good morning, SacBarb!!
:-) ya think!! LOL
but I am NOT complaining!!!
J/L, I have never heard Rodrigo but I like this song. I have no musical talent either. My kids didn't even like it when I tried to sing lullabies to them. Thanks for bringing this to the blog today.
MEK, How's the puppy doing?
I am on laundry duty this morning. Not washing it but cleaning out the room to make way for the new front loading set to be delivered on Saturday. Yayyyyyy!!!!
MEK, How exciting that Extreme Makeover in in your area. I love that show, but it makes me cry so I don't always watch it.
EBJ, I am so sorry about your Uncle. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I guess MEK went back to bed. I better get back in the laundry room. BBL
Good Morning Everyone!
J/LIN: I've always loved classical guitar. It not only sounds beautiful, it's fascinating to watch. I loved the video today and will be checking out more of Rodrigo y Gabriela. Thank you!!
MEK: Congrats on LAST and FIRST!! ;) I got up to let Nikki out and here you are with Tug!! Get some sleep!
SACBARB: Don't work too hard cleaning! I think I'm almost as excited as you are about your new kitchen. Too cool!
TINA: Congrats on 69! Well, just thought I would be first in telling you that. Now go out there and grab it! ;)
I'm going back to bed..it's kinda cold here..makes for great snuggling! G'night!!
Great post Just_Lin! I'm like you, would love to have a musically talented bone in this body. :)
I hope everyone is having a great week!
Carol, you have a MySpace message.
J/L~ i love that song....you had me bee-bopping this morning....my sis introduced me to that song~
MEK~ congrats on 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and puppy~ :D
Good morning SacB and NN~
Zona~ 69!~
Mek,
Congrats on First, Yes I think Sacbarb is right "puppy duty", but it is def all worth it. Things will def fall into place soon..
Happy for ya!
:O)
Morning...
Mek, Sacbarb, Zona, Lois, Tina, Me and to all you fly in after this..
Good Morning Hooters~!
Congrats on 1st MEK!!!!!
Haven't watched the video yet, but as far as any musical talent? Nadda- Zilch. I did take clarinet and piano lessons when I was a kid. Just never held my interest (maybe because I sucked!).
We are aware of my singing ability since Mr. Goldie only lets me sing outloud one time of year. LOL
Hope our friends in the storms path are all doing well- MO, hope you don't get creamed too bad.
MEK- EHM was here last year. My girlfriend and her daughter who is a chiropractor volunteered. She (chiro) gave adjustments all day to the crew and volunteers.
Have a good day everyone.
I am feeling better this morning, I am just going to watch what I eat.
I think I was "backed up" :O)
Lois,
I will try to check ms later today, Thanks!
Just_Lin,
I never heard of these
musicians before, what a pleasure to listen to them, they are fab! Thanks for sharing..
Sorry, no talent for me, except for my rolling the tongue action, other than that.. Ziltch, Nada, Nothing, Niente!
:O)
Morning Goldie!
We had snow last nite, however it is know turned into rain/sleet. I made it to the office ok. Hopefully the salt trucks will keep coming around..
I am off to start my day..
See ya all 2nite..
Morning, MEKkers, Carol, SacBarb, Zona, Tina, Lois, Goldie, and J/L!
That's all I have time for! LOL... have to get into work... except SacBarb, I got one of those high-efficiency front-loading combo washer/dryers for my bathroom this fall, and I love it! No more trotting outside to the communal facility for me!
Good Morning OWLETTES!!!
MEK.. congrats on 1st...thru FORE-th.. how is my little Tug-bug this morning!!!???
I knew that name would stick!!!!
Just-lin...I have no musical talent either...
A couple of years ago I put on my CD walkman and was playing Christmas music.. and singing along... Mr. IBB said it sounded like "Idol-The Auditions".. (the bad ones)...
Morning to Sacbarb Zona...Tina...NN/LL...
Carol...GOldie...
Hope everyone has a great day...
EBJ...((((HUGS))))

Whabby we were posting at the same time...MORNING!!!!
Morning All!
Thanks for the music J/L! I have no musical talent either and envy those that do.
Congrats on the puppy Mek! I haven't caught up on the comments yet to see what kind you got.
My Significant daughter got her Basset puppy last night and apparently the Flu as well. She was fine last night and then Wham! Her sister who is 6 months pregnant was admitted to the hospital last night because of the Flu. She can't stop throwing up and is on IV's. I am praying the baby is ok.
I may have to puppy sit...We rushed to pick up the puppy last night because of the storm and now this daughter is throwing up all over the place...
The hospital is going to keep the pregnant one for a while....I don't know why they didn't keep her in the first place!
Congrats on first, MEK! And, giant congrats on your new puppy!! I just love his name!
J/L, thanks for the beautiful music this morning--loved it! I'd never heard of Rodrigo y Gabriela before. I took piano and organ lessons when I was younger and can still plunk out a tune now and then when I get my hands on a piano.
I'm feeling much better today and wanted to say I'm sorry for all the TMI last night! I'm quite sure you all know more about my private parts than you wanted to! LOL
Tina, thanks for the encouragement a couple of days ago!
Thanks again for all the kind words--I want to name you but am so afraid I'll leave someone out. Please know that I "see" all of you!
Sacbarb, new kitchen, new washer/dryer--yippee!!
Oh Scirish! I forgot to say congrats on your new puppy, also! And, I really hope your daughters feel better really soon. I hope your expecting daughter gets lots of fluids at the hospital and is home soon.
Good morning! I hope everyone enjoys the music. I am especially fascinated with Gabriela's fast fingers and hands. I would LOVE to be able to do that!
MEK Baby puppy duty can be hard but so rewarding in the end. I hope you get some naps today.
scirish I'm so sorry that your girls are so sick. How miserable for them. I'm glad the pregnant one is under medical care.
SacBarb That is so exciting that you are re-doing your kitchen AND getting a new washer/dryer.
Carol Glad you are no longer "backed up". LOL Maybe it was all that Mickey stress that threw you out of whack.
Sandie, so sorry the girls are sick. Wishing the well. Nothing worse the being in the hospital hooked up to IV's and puking when you are pregnant! (been there, done that)
MEK- I LOVE TUG!! I do remember those puppy days too. I wanted to give Pepper back. I never wanted her to begin with , she was Mr. Goldies baby. now??? I would throw myself in front of a bus for her! Oh but those puppy teeth......ouchie!
Great news on your new stuff SacBarb. I am hoping to be able to buy food this week. Just kidding- I am hinting (big time) to Mr Goldie that I need a new built in dishwasher, the old one is- old.
Carol- glad you are ok, and everything came out as it should :)
Be careful in this nasty weather.
anyone here from MO to see if she got any of that ice or is just getting clobbered with snow?
Good afternoon everyone!
Justlin, I saw that show and was amazed at their flying fingers. I tried learning to play the guitar
when I was younger. I think I had too many distractions to take it seriously. I have been singing since I was a tot.I have one of my Karaoke machines set up in my basement family room. If I get in the mood to sing I just head down there and get it out of my system. I have big speakers and can belt out songs with out bothering anyone lol!
MEK~ I hope you get a few naps in today and ready for round 2 tonight lol! Tug is going to be worth all of your care and patience.
Carol~ WHEW! I am glad you are unplugged! Did you by any chance fly over Birdee when it happened!!
Hi hooters,
Congrats on 1st today MEK and congrats on the new puppy. She is soooo cute!!!
JL I have never heard of those musicians either, but their music is really nice!
I've never played any instrument, other than the skin flute.
Hope everyone has a nice day!
EBJ, does the skin flute have anything to do with your Grandmas cuke?
Good Morning NESTERS
Thank you SLIN for the beautiful music. I have always loved music, and music of all kinds has always been a big part of my life.
I am happy that you are enjoying TUG MEK,and just like our children, she will grow up fast.
SACBARB, How exciting to have a new kitchen. I hope the first meal cooked in it will be served at the MANOR.
TINA, Congrats on 1st 69 of the day ;)
Sleep tight ZONA, and I don't see a spec of dust in your house!
GOLDIE, I think you lost interest because you are supposed to BLOW not SUCK ! :)
I am happy you are feeling well SANDIE.
SCIRISH I hope all the ill ones are better very soon.
I am glad you are well today CAROL.
Hello to NN/LL, BEAR, MARY & IBB
LMAO EBJ, Tell me, do you suck or blow the skin flute?
Hello, IBB! :)
Mary/Mi and EBJ: I wonder if EBJ's GM was anything like Marion Wormer, Dean Wormer's wife in "Animal House"! When she runs into Otter at the Food King, he picks up a rather large cucumber and informs her that "vegetables can be very sensual, don't you think"?
She corrects him: "No. People are sensual. Vegetables are sensuous".
And that was the start of something timeless and beautiful between them!
Lani: Definitely suck, if I have any say in the matter.
BEAR, Your expertise in this matter is most appreciated. ;)
BEAR, BTW Why are you showing up on the NEST naked? Are you flashing?
Why is it called a BJ, anyway? It makes no sense. Bear?
It should be an SJ. LOL
Just got a myspace message from Bebbi--she asked me to tell everyone that she's fine but has had no power since this morning (she was writing from her phone). There are trees down in her area but thankfully none fell on her house.
I hope all owls are safe tonight!
Oh J/L~ You are thinking as the giver and not as the receiver....the receiver...well...uh....you know...BLOWS!!!! :)~
Well said TINA. Your expertise is also appreciated.
My my my. We have drifted from guitars to cukes,& BJs/SJs!! Is there room enough on the naughty mat for all of us lol!!
Whabbear, you crack me up!
Jodi you ARE on crack lol!
Good evening feathered friends!
I made it home and am safe, warm and dry now!
Getting to work this morning was a son of a bitch. The roads were not plowed and the snow was falling fast and furious. It snowed all day until about 4:30. I stayed at work until about 6:45 to give the roads a chance to be cleared. It then took me a LONG time to clean the snow and scraoe te ice off the car. I was standning in snow up to my mid calf. The roads were fine coming home. Thankfully my area didn't get the ice, but areas a little south of me did. I don't know the official snow total, but I do know was deeper then the length of my little finger and not as deep as the length of a bat!
I am gonna snuggle up and watch Idol!
Tina Oh! Kind of like those unrolling party blowers!
"but I do know was deeper then the length of my little finger and not as deep as the length of a bat"! I am seeing you on TV giving the weather report! lmao
JUST LIN...I can't listen to the vidio, but I bet they are awesome if you selscted it for the blog.
I have no musical talent at all. I can however play the radio and stereo! I can't sing. Well, I can but BADLY! In school I played the French Horn...until my boyfriend and I broke up and I then would have had to carry that heavy thing home myself to practice! I switched to clarinet and pretty much sucked at that, too! At least I could carry it!
MEK...I so love puppies. She kinda looks like a pup I had once named Shayna.
MARY, Let's all have a naughty fest on the naughty mat!
MO, As I told GOLDIE, you need to blow the clarinet, not suck.
LANI...you are cracking me up!
LYNN D...where are you????????
I guess when Popeye said, "Well, blow me down!", I know what he meant now.
And there's that little song of the sea, "Blow the Man Down"
I'll sing you a song, a good song of the sea
With a way, hey, blow the man down
And trust that you'll join in the chorus with me
Give me some time to blow the man down
Okay, I'm going to the naughty mat.
JUST LIN...do you know why the snowman was so happy?
He saw the snow blower coming!
bwahahahahaha
EBJ, In case Mr EBJ forgets to tell you, I called to tell you that Countdown on MSNBC, that is repeated at 7PM. played a video of an African Grey in Sweeden who is potty trained.
A friend told me this joke today. The mother of a teenager came home and heard a buzzing noise coming from her daughter's room. The mother went in and caught her with her vibrator. The daughter said, since I can't date I am entitled. Days later when the mother came home she heard the buzzing noise coming from the livingroom, and there was her husband with the vibrator. He said he was just getting to know their daughter's boyfriend.
MO LMAO! :D:D:D
Lani LMAO!!!! :D:D:D
63 Yoo Hoo!
64 Who's marching?
65 Tina, whrere are you?
66 MO, where are you?
67 Lani, where are you?
68
69
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!! :)
SLIN, tooooo bad you quit smoking!
LANI...OMG!!!!!! LMFAO!!!
Shirley I hope you recorded that 69. I don't get them all that often.
Lani You can have a cig for me.
ROFLMAO! SO much education on the blog today!
So, uh, um, just as long as we're already on the naughty mat, what's everybody's opinion on, um, well, you know.
Swallowing.
Do you or don't you, ladies?
I don't really like to, and Mr Whabbear doesn't either. We're spitters, not swallowers!
And, OK, while we're on the topic, I just have to ask another question. How many of you (if any) have ever introduced your hubbies or SSO's to the sexual joys of... prostate massage! I get the impression that most straight men have never had the pleasure!
Am I the only one having problems with this site? I not seeing your avatars.
Bear I'm not answering those questions until I see if someone else does. LMAO!
Mary No problems here. Maybe weather is the culprit.
One day, years ago, my friend Laurel and I were talking and I was moaning and groaning about something, and she looked at me and said "at least you didn't fall down the cellar stairs with sperm in your mouth"!!!
She proceeded to tell me the story of a friend who had sperm in her mouth and went to spit it out in the bathroom and made a wrong turn and fell down the cellar stairs.
BTW I asked her if the swallow reflex set in when she fell and she ended up swallowing, but she didn't have the answer.
ok, they just came back, too weirs
Whabbear, I think it is time to drag out the SUPER NAUGHTY MAT!!
# 1.No I didn't lol
#2. eh? never mind I will use my imagination lol!!
Lani You have me crying, I am laughing so hard!!!!!!!
No you aren't MARY. Bear is flashing us!
TINK also flashed earlier.
Lani! too funny!
Lani I did get the message when I got home a while ago! Thank you, I will try to find it.
I was looking in the online tv guide and didn't see anything that I thought might be the show you mentioned to MR. EBJ.
OK my best friend used to date a guy who CONSTANTLY wanted a blow job. She got sick of him asking and she didn't like giving them.
She told him ok one day, and he got all ready, she proceeded to blow on it and said there you go a blow job. haha!
He apparently did not think it was funny at all.
Congrats on 69 JL!
Bear Does Mr. Whabbear know you are sharing this info on the blog? Hmmmm?
#1 I've done it both ways.
#2 Never attempted it. Care to give instructions?
EBJ, what is on at 7PM on your TV? It should be Coundown with Keith Olberman. The video was great.
Where the hell is Carol? If this isn't pornish, I don't know what is. LMAO!
Does cross dressing count as straight?
Bear you probably put us all to shame with your tricks and stuff LMAO!!
Maybe all of this talk is due to all of the talk about the stimulus package!
Even Rachel Maddow on MSNBC is talking stimulus.
Lani I would assume "yes" as long as they were still sexually attracted to the opposite sex.
A good source of protien...just sayin :O
One guy just said the reason for stimulus is to prime the pump. So see, we are having a political discussion.
Lani LMAO @ stimulus package! Apparently, BEAR, really knows how to stimulate a package! Bwahahahaha!!!
96?
Everyone move over...I have a naughty mat to fit the whole room tonight. I think all of you need to be on it. BEAR, you can sit at the head of the mat!!
JUSTLIN: The music is very nice. I haven't heard those two play. I have no music talent but IF I could have done anything, I would love to know how to play the piano. My mother played it but we never had one and she learned as a child. I sing all the time but I am pretty sure I am the only one that likes it...I think it is beautiful!!!
MARY: Would you make a video of you singing karoke and post it? I'll bet your singing is really good or you wouldn't be doing karoke! Come on...please?
I am not going into the question and answer section of the blog tonight. See, all of you can be naughty without TINA!! I guess she gets a bum rap.
ZONA: Have you eaten all my milk duds? Save them until I visit again or bring them with you to Denver sometime soon.
MEK, your little puppy looks so cute. You sure changed your mind fast from Saturday to Sunday. As you said, "you would know when it was right."
I have to go put groceries away and heat up the deli dinner before MrD comes home and he will think I cooked dinner :) I don't think I have mentioned that TINA AND ZONA thought I was going to cook up a storm while in Arizona....fooled them! Guess they heard about my gormet cooking.
99
100
BEAR, where are you? Are YOU getting to know that girl's boyfriend?
Lani, it is on channel 60 here at 7:00. Is the part with the grey on early in the show?
I would love to have a potty trained birdy. As it is, I call Poe the "shit machine", as he goes about every 20 minutes.
He holds it all night, then has a mega dump first thing in the morning when he is let out of the cage.
I am so hopped up on coffee!
Hmmm, made 100!! I don't know exactly what that means but it seems like TINK always is talking about winning a prize for different numbers..so, TINK, time for you to pass on your prize.
OMG! OMG! Lani, I SO burst out laughing! Great story!!!
No, Mr W does NOT know... and I'm not going to tell him! LOL!
Mary/MI: Well, now that we're on the SUPER naught mat, here goes with the sex education!
It's simple, really! Just inset your middle (longest!) finger into the rectum of the partner of your choice, and right at the tip you will encounter something quite hard. Push on it, and you're massaging the prostrate. In many cases, that will drive him absolutely wild!
In my experience, it's not necessarily been a finger doing the pushing the prodding ('nuff said on that), and the experience is like having an organism forced on you!
Resistance is futile! :)
EBJ: Where does Poe poop when you let him out of the cage? I am thinking maybe I don't want to have breakfast at your house! :)
EBJ, It is on around 15 min after. Maybe a little later. Could you put it on record then flip through if you don't want to watch it live?
I don't know if this is true or not, but I knew someone years ago who told me she conditioned her hair with "jizz".
Her hair LOOKED soft but I just couldn't touch it to find out for sure. LOL
Orgasm. Orgasm.
Bear I think most straight men get really nervous when there is any activity anywhere near their anus. Dont' you?
D, he has a tray filled with pine chips under the door of his cage which we change every other day. It looks much better than newspaper and easy to clean up.
You can eat here, he stays on his cage! Even when we have company or a party, he stays put.
Most men would probably say they wouldn't like that, but I bet they would if you just did it!
I once saw a guy with a tattoo on his low back, it said EXIT ONLY and had an arrow pointing down to his ass!
EBJ That guy had probably been in prison.
I remember wondering why he would feel he had to put EXIT ONLY there, like was he expecting some random guy to come along and try to f*ck him in the ass? lol
BEAR, I think all men would like it. I think they just don't want to appear gay. After all, prostrates don't know gay or straight.
I think you and TINA should teach a sex education class together.
JL that is probably true!
EBJ, I can't stop laughing. Was this a patient and did you call him on it?
So much for beautiful classical music!!!
Lani Well, it does include good finger work. LOL
Lani I think it was a guy I was giving a shot to in the clinic. I had to give a shot in the glut so he had to drop his drawers. That's when I saw the tat.
I think I said nice tat and laughed. Some people you can explore with but I seem to recall he wasn't one of them.
I've seen some bizarre tattoos and that was def. one of them.
I'm going to make dinner. BBL
I am glad POE doesn't poop on the cucumbers, or does your mother put condoms on them? (Was it your mother or grandmother)
LOL@Lani and EBJ!
Judy: I don't think that's strange at all! Don't guys have to fend off random attempts by other guys to f&*k them up the ass all the time?
ROFLMAO!
My delete.I double posted. My daughter is here and she is a hungry pregnant woman. BBL
Just when I thought it couldn't get worse......Poe poop,wandering fingers,prisoner exits, oh my!
Have we talked about the weather? lol!!
Actually MARY, MO did. Per MO referring to the snowfall-- "I do know was deeper then the length of my little finger and not as deep as the length of a bat"!
Sound familiar MARY?
Whab I'm sure that is a concern for most men! lol
But if you want to make sure that you won't get a random guy trying to f*ck you in the ass, you must get that tattoo!
Lani it was my grandma who told MR. EBJ that it was her new boyfriend.
Poe doesn't like cucumbers either!
OH! We just saw that clip on MSNBC about Emile the African Grey! That was AMAZING!
EBJ I watched it again. Maybe you could run to the toilet with POE
1st thing in the morning :)
The other amazing thing is he has beautiful feathers like POE. That is so unGrey like
Lani, Poe is so soft, he feels like velvet, especially around his neck.
He luckily doesn't pluck himself, and therefore the beautiful boy that he is!
We must have scared everyone off with our smut talk tonight!
Lani, yes I am remembering lol!
My puter has been so slow tonight.
I have been over to facebook working on my hatchlings.
Tonight has been XXX rated, so you may be right.Not for the faint of heart.
i am going to clean up my act lol!!
Didn't mean to scare anyone off!
But sometimes, the truth hurts! LOL!
Where's Carol?
Mary/Mi: Smut. Hmmm. That word reminded me of the old "tongue-in-cheek" paperback series of cold war spy satires featuring Steve Victor, The Man from O.R.G.Y. Steve did constant battle with the evil forces of S.M.U.T.
O.R.G.Y., of course, was the Organization for the Rational Guidance of Youth.
And S.M.U.T.? None other than the Society for Moral Uplift Today.
I kid you not.
Whab there was a girl in high school who's nick name was SMUT. Her last name was Smith, so I think the SMUT had something to do with that.
Later, I thought that probably no one who called her that knew what it meant!
BEAR A lot of OWLS weren't here today to begin with today.
My excuse was an abundance of coffee. Ya that's it....coffee
EBJ They probably meant smut as in smut.
Now I am yawning. Might not be back until morning.
Whabbear, that was ironic eh?
Well Lani, Whabbear and EBJ, I am closing down. Have a great Thursday all!
p.s.Lovely Lurkers, we will try to be good tomorrow lol!!
The naughty mat sure was crowded tonight.
Good night BEAR, MARY, EBJ, SLIN
Good night, you filthy owlettes! :)
Good night, all. Sweet dreams or smutty dreams. You decide. :)
