I love disco. I can’t sit still when I hear it. I think The Bee Gees ARE disco. I love all the music from Saturday Night Fever. What I didn’t know and think is an incredible coinkidink is that a study done by the University of Illinois medical school stated that “Stayin’ Alive” is an ideal song to listen to while performing chest compressions on someone who has just suffered a heart attack. The American Heart Association calls for chest compressions to be given at a rate of 100 per minute in CPR. This song almost perfectly matches that at 103 beats per minute. I guess I should also mention that “Another One Bites The Dust” by Queen also has pretty much the same beat, but doesn’t seem as appropriate a song as “Stayin’ Alive”. Who said disco wasn’t alive and well?

Damn, I'm good....
Mushroom omelets for everyone!!
Okay, Shirley....that's twice!
Tina~ loved the video and I can only imagine how fast it would be to do chest compressions to Stayin Alive. Btw, I also liked the Bee Gees.
BBL, need more coffee.
Waiting...waiting...waiting...for my mushroom omlette!
RONNIE...congrats on 1st! How are you this morning?
TINA...I loved disco! There is a local station that plays tons of disco all day. Disco's were totally from my era and I visited my fair share of them! DO THE HUSTLE!!!
Just so you know....of ALL the 1st posted at the nest this year, half of them are mine. LOL
Morning, Mo. I'm good, how 'bout you?
Well, Good Morning to everyone, really need to go sober-up with more coffee.
bbl
TINA: I love disco too...and this soundtrack really is a winner. I remember buying it when it was first released, and pretty much wearing it out. In fact, I remember I bought it the night I almost ran the car into the record store wall!! But that's a story for another day..lol..
I think the CPR connection to "Stayin' Alive" is so interesting. Now, make sure you sing that song and not "Another One Bites the Dust" if you ever have to give me CPR....kay?? ;)
I loved your blog today!! I don't know if I should be listening to this song right before I go to sleep though..I'll be boppin' in my bed. Wait..that could be a good thing... ;)
RONNIE...I'm fine. Waiting for the "morning post nasal drip" to go away and then have some breaky!! TMI??????? Are you going to do anything fun today?
ZONA...I think MR.ZONA will be voting FOR the bopping in the bed...just sayin!
You almost ran into the record store wall??????? Do tell!!!
RONNIE: Congrats on FIRST!!! LOL that you have half the firsts... :D
MO!! Good morning! YMCA!! ;)
RONNIE2: Can I please have my mushroom omelet later?? I'm heading off to bed now. :)
Have a nice Sunday everyone!!
Morning Glories!
Congrats on first Ronnie!!!
Tina now both of those songs are going through my head and I will never look at CPR the same! I hope I don't have to chose which song to keep time with as Another One Bites the Dust comes to mind faster and I can remember the first part of the lyrics, unlike Stayin Alive. I will have to remember not to sing it while doing CPR.
I am kind of up and moving. Only had a 1/2 cup of coffee so that post may not make much sense.
Zona No More Running! Hope your knee is better today.
MO I saw the NY HWives. Geez! Mesmerized again! LOL
Be back after I hit the coffee carafe again and let the dogs out.
From AREA 51:
TINA: Unless I learn to fly..maybe the first floor IS a good place for me. OMG..can you imagine the trouble I would get into if I could FLY??? ;)
CPGEM: Backing away...now I just hope I don't trip over something behind me! ;)
MARY: Icy snow sounds like it would feel good right now!
SACBARB: I wasn't thinking..lol!! I hope you feel better..I hear you're harboring Smurfs... ;)
Thanks MEK and EBJ..
Now it's time to limp off into the sunrise..'night everyone!!
LYNND: It's never the running that gets me..it's the way I stop.. ;)
MO: LOL...now you know why I have a mile limit.. ;)
Off to bed I go...visions of Barry Gibbs' tight pants dancing in my head!! :D

Good Morning Hooters!!
Congrats on 1st Ronnie, and hi Mo, Zona and Lynn.
Great blog tina~ now I am going to be singing that song all day long. I will have to ask my son if they turn the Bee Gee's on in the ambulance when they do CPR! LOL
Zona- you crack me up with "another one bites the dust". tee hee
Geez, the post office line was so long yesterday that I never got back in the nest. Just kidding, but one thing led to another and I was busy all day doing stuff. Today is taking the tree down day, a job I detest ;(
I wish I had a video camera going this morning. We had ice last night and it is a rink outside. Pepper runs out and fetches the paper each morning for me and this morning was a riot.
She ran out of the garage, hit the driveway and slid all the way down almost to the street and into a snow bank. Watching her trying to get back up the driveway was hysterical. She looked like a new calf or colt trying out her legs for the first time. She made it but she was sure confused!!! I'm not going anywhere today in this stuff.
I have not had the time or energy to properly thank everyone for the beautiful Christmas cards they sent me or the gifts...but know how much I appreciated them all and I will get my Thank you's out soon!!
Today is going to be my first attempt ever to make homemade bread! I got a KitchenAid mix master for Christmas and I am going to give the bread hook a whirl.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day and everyone feels better who is sick.
HI MEK!!!!! I was typing when you got on!
Happy Sunday!!
Ronnie - congrats on first - and you didn't even have to bribe anyone!! you won far and square..
Zona - how's the knee today?
MO - thanks for the lyrics..
I'll be singing that song ALL day!!
Tina - thanks for picking Sunday's music...... I just LOVE disco!! brings back LOTS of memories...
morning, Ronnie, MO, Zona,
Lynn d, and all who land!!
I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)
HI goldie!!!
you will LOVE your kitchenaide - OMG!!!!!!!!
and - poor Pepper!!
:-)
you need to get a flip!!
have a good one and stay safe...
25 for goldie!!!
MEK- I already love it! I used it to make cookies on christmas night. Kyle and I wanted to try it out. It is red (the same color as my kitchen) and beautiful and shiney. Who knew I would love an appliance????????
Let's see how I love it after I try the bread.
I didn't even ask for it. I just had commented to Mr. Goldie one day walking thru Macy's that I had always wanted one. He remembered and went back and got it for me.
GOLDIE...imagine the batches of "brownies" you can make in that KitchenAid!! Hope the bread turns out well.
MEK...good morning to you. Are you feeling better?
I love the Bee Gees and disco!
I love to crank it up and dance with the kiddies!
Okay, yesterday, I went to look at the multi-vitams at Wal-Mart.
There was a lot to pick from!
I couldn't decide.
Any ideas?
Good morning!
Congrats today Ronnie!! Yipee!
OK I love this song! I have to admit, I watched most of the video focused on trying to figure out if the middle brother's tight white pants have a zipper or not!
When I took CPR class in May, the instructors did indeed teach us compressions while playing "Stayin Alive".
They told us if we ever had to perform CPR, to mentally sing and do compressions to it, and you would be giving the correct number per minute.
Goldie a red kitchen sounds awesome! I'd love to see pics of it.
I went to someone's house recently and everything in her kitchen is PINK.
Yes, she is a Mary Kay consultant.
It was so strange seeing a pink toaster, pink blender, pink coffee pot, etc.
She did have a gorgeous pink Cadillac in the driveway...
Have a nice day everyone!
Happy Day before school starts! :)
Ronnie, congrats on first! LOL @ half the firsts this year!
Tina, that song brings back so many memories!! I was dating a guy then who really thought he was Barry Gibb. He was soooo good looking! So many girls were after him that I thought I was hot stuff dating him. He turned out to be a dud, though. :)
Lynn, LOL @ not singing Another One Bites the Dust while doing CPR. Can you imagine doing that? Yikes!
Mo, I hope your post nasal drip stops soon! Yuck. LOL
Zona, so sorry about your knee. From someone whose hands fly out and hit door frames all the time, I understand. :)
MEK, I hope taking the tree down isn't so bad.
Goldie, have fun with your new mix master machine!! What kind of bread are you making?
iteach, I take so many vitamins now that I feel like I'm 80 years old! I use the Centrium multi-vitamin, the viactive calcium chews (three a day), an iron pill and sublingual B-12 pills (three a day). All that may be too much for you--ask your doctor. You probably don't need the extra iron pill as iron is in the multi-vitamin.
EBJ, our old house had a pink kitchen when we moved in. I lived with it for quite a few years before I just couldn't take it anymore! LOL
Okay, back to the closet. I'm really going to finish today! :/
Ok read the morning news had some more coffee and getting ready to start chores. Last day home for Mr. Lynn D as vacation for him will be over. Back to getting up early but in some ways I am ready for him to go back. LOL
Goldie I keep thinking I want the kitchenaide mixer and then I mentally slap myself and realize then Mr. Lynn D would expect me to use it! I am thinking about going with red accents in my kitchen but more of a 1940's theme. Maybe red cherries?
MEK hope you are feeling better!
Iteach Mr. Lynn D always looks for all natural vitamins. His favorite is I think Nature Made? I need to take them but don't because all vitamins seem to upset my stomach. Then I burp up that icky taste in my mouth all day. Yuck!
Hi EBJ pink kitchen well if it makes her happy.....pink is not a favorite color of mine.
Off to start laundry.
RONNIEGIRL congrats on your #1 marathon
TINA great blog to get one started on a Sunday morning. Since Stayin Alive is good for CPR maybe Another One Bites the Dust would be a good name for a funeral home.
MO you are one busy OWL this morning, waiting for your omelet and waiting for PND to go away.
I hope your knee will be better when you wake up later today ZONA.
ITEACH I keep meaning to ask how Carolyn likes her new big girl bed.
Good morning LYNN I hope you don't have to find out which one.
GOLDIE, MR GOLDIE is one great attentive husband. Congrats to him for picking up on the appliance.
I hope you are a whole lot better MEK.
ebj nOW IF YOU HAVE TO PERFORM cpr ALL YOU ARE GOING TO SEE IS THE MIDDLE BROTHER'S ZIPPER or lack there of. A friend up the street has the most beautiful tomato red kitchen sink. It totally fascinates me.
I am constantly leaving the caps key. I usually have to type everything twice. I thought I would try to be less anal for once.
A GREAT SUDAY TO EVERYONE.
SCIRISH - I hope your back is much better today.
BARB - Rest and recuperate-feel better soon
HODI-I hope you have recovered from your surprise 12 hour shift.
I need a CANADIAN fix!
Lani: William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada's Prime Minister during WW2, was a lifetime bachelor who consulted with mediums.
Did that qualify as a Canadian hit? LOL!
Tina: Here's another one to whip us all up into a disco fever today! Enjoy:
Rock Your Baby!
From A51: Hi, Mary!
Carol: YW! :)
Mornin'!
Ronnie Congrats on #1! Let's see if you can keep that percentage going 'til the end of the year. :)
Tina Isn't Disco great? Always puts me in a good mood. That's very interesting about the CPR and good to keep in mind. LOL @ Another One Bites the Dust!
Lani LOL at needing a Canadian fix!
BEAR, Do I need a medium to contact
William Lyon Mackenzie King, or is he still around to come and blog with us?
Due to your crab comments the other day I am now on a crab binge.:)
Hi SLIN-you are up bright and early. Well sort of
So I listened and WATCHED Rock your Baby. In turn, it reminded me of the song (can't remember the name ) Sexual Feelings. One thing seems to be leading to another today.
Lani: Did you mean
This?
BEAR ABSOLUTELY YES!!! Was it as good for you??
Wow thanks Tina! Now, should I ever have to do CPR, I will sing one or the other, depending on how bad whoever is on the receiving end looks. I should probably just sing silently in my head, though, right?! :D
I hope everyone is having a great day, and feeling well!!
iteach I forgot to respond to your vitamin question. Vitamins are too big for me to swallow. I had a scary choking episode once so now I take a Viactiv chewable daily. They also make a calcium chewable but I don't care for the taste so I take a couple of Citrical Petites (includes vitamin D to help with absorbtion). I almost always drink milk with dinner, also.
Ronniegirl~Way-to-go on # 1 today!
Tina~ I love the Disco Sound! When we do DJ, "Dancing Queen is always requested!
btw, every football team sang "Another one Bites the Dust" after playing the Detroit Lions LOL!!
EBJ, I was mesmerized by his tight pants too, but I was looking for something besides his zipper, if-you-get-my-drift!!
Whabbear, I loved that song! Believe it or not I sing that at Karaoke, even the high "ah ha s" lol!! I watched "Don't Rock the Boat", while in utube.
LynnD,ROTF, "Mr LynnD would expect me to use it"!
iteach, I take Centrum, but only half a pill at a time. For some reason my body doesn't tolerate vitamins.I get headaches if I take a whole one. Strange eh?
MO: Thanks for posting the lyrics! I've been singing this song for years and it looks (or sounds) like I've gotten the words wrong the whole time!! LOL...
GOLDIE: Well whattya know..Pepper and I seem to have a lot in common!! Hope she is ok!
How'd the hookin' go today with your new KitchenAid???
MEK: OUCH..thump thump OUCH...lol..
ITEACH: I don't take multi-vitamins. I have the same problem with them as EBJ, they give me a headache. Mr. Z takes the Wal-Mart multi though..and it seems to give him a lot of energy...which can be a wonderful thing! :D
SANDIE: Do you hit your elbows too?? I always seem to miss the turns..and I've lived in this house almost my whole life. You'd think I'd have it mapped out better!! ;)
TINA - Love the Bee Gee's!!! Thanks for the video today....although I'm not much in the mood for a disco HOdown!!!
RONNIE - Congrats on first!!!
ZONA - How's your knee?
Just wanted to stop by and say Hi. I've spent the weekend....well, ummmmm....how shall I say, in the "library". Not how I would recommend losing any weight!!
I hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday night. I can't wait...the kids go back to school tomorrow. Longest freakin' 2 weeks of my life!!!
LYNND: RATS!! You reminded me that I have laundry to do!! ;)
LANI: Leave the caps..it'll be your new unique siganture!! :)
BEAR: Can't wait to check out your link..you never disappoint!! ;)
J/LIN: MORNING!!!!! :D
NN/LL: Singing to yourself would probably be a good idea in that situation. Unless it's me...then you can warble as loud as you like!! :D
OOOOPS...It was MARY that got the headaches from the vitamins..sorry!! Sometimes I think my brains are in my knee!!
JODI: I hope you feel better soon..you must be getting lots of reading done! ;)
EBJ: AHA!! You were busy watching Barry's tight pants too!!! :D
VIG: Safe travels tonight! SWAK!!
TINKA: Missing you!
50!!! For JODI!!
LANI: Ummm..that would be sigNature...I can spell..I can spell..I can spell...lol..well maybe not.. ;)
This is a test.
Awwww...
I'm good to go.
Waving Hello to everyone who flew in after me today.
Thank you....
BEAR: Just saw the video...LMAO!! I like this song..but the look on his face...omg!! Thank you for the link!! :)
RONNIE: Love your new avatar! I'm guessing the skeeterfly finally bit the dust?? ;)
Gotta go feed Nikki before she starts chewing on my toes! Have a good evening everyone!
Hey Zona~
Yes, please protect your toes.
My Skeet-erfly is now in that wonderful rehab where all the stars go. I'm sure after all the wild New Years celebrations the celebrities had, some will be checking-in soon. Who knows, little Skeet-erfly might even make TMZ headlines....just sayin'.
Where's Tinka?
bbl
It is freaking snowing here again! WTF??? I can't believe this winter we are having. It is like Alaska has moved south.
Unh Unh Unh Unh Stayin alive!
Mary it is true Mr. Lynn D thinks because we have a crockpot that I should use it at least once a month. Same with the oven! Geez!
Ronnie You clean up real good! I almost didn't recognize you! :)
LynnD I have a crockpot I have never used. My husband used to cook something in it once in a while. I should try it out sometime.
OK, back to work for me. If people would just make some kind of payments on their accounts, I wouldn't have to write them letters! Geez!
your blog is very good......

Thanks to everyone for your kind words~
Hi Hooters, the bread turned out great and we 'snacked' on half a loaf with butter while it was warm! Needless to say, we didn't eat lunch.
Can't wait to whip up the 'special' brownies in that mixer.
Jodi- sorry you had so much reading to do. I took the p.s. to Illinois on Wed. and shared with the relatives. They are big fans too!
Tommorrow I am going to Curves to sign up- have to cut down on the bread, butter and cookies and crank up the movement!
Sleep tight and hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.
Hello Hooters....
Ronnie,
Congrats on first, I hope Shirley put that in your file...
TinaHO,
Loved me some bee gees, and disco was my era.. Creations (club) was my thing every Sunday nite, and disco was always played...
Thanks for the flashback and the memories.. Have a safe flight!
It seems Gooood Girl is a poker site, I guess she is doing some advertising..
Anyone wanna play? Wheres Turtle?
:O)
Ronnie:
Loved the way you showed her/him how to march.. LOL...
i don't wanna poke her~ :)~
I think I am getting the sniffles, which is totally pissing me off, cause I am so not in the mood for a cold...
So I have been drugging myself with over the counter meds.. I hope they help..
Crap!
No, Tina you don't have to poke her but you can play poker with her...
I keep typing her, when it could be a he.. One never knows..
i don't think your over-the-counter meds will help your crap....but they might help your cold~
Evening Hooters
Only two more sleeps in Nuckin Cold Illinois and then I get to wear boxers to bed again.
Tho there is a wee bit of excitement about possible snow...maybe my flight home will be delayed long enough that I get to squeeze my nephew!!! He arrives here on Wed am. Tho I don't think my boss would like that phone call very much.
Bee Gees...can't say I was ever into Disco but have to give em props for lasting so long.
Hiya hooters,
Mary I was kinda looking for a "package" in the tight whites, but didn't see one.
I was looking for his zipper, the pants looked zipper-less til about half way through, then I think I saw a zipper!
Which of the 3 brothers died?
We had fresh crab for dinner, yummm. We are having a Super Bowl party here next month, so now I want to try and make crab cakes to serve.
I've never made them before (eaten lots of them, tho! haha).
For those of you who saw the "Reindeer Porn" picture I put on Myspace, my neighbor finally removed them from his front lawn! The reindeer were in that graphic position only about 2 weeks!
Tina,
LOL.. Actually Iodium (sp) would help, however cold meds won't..
:O)
EBJ,
I did not see that pic, I will def check it out!
I am off to bed...
See ya all tomorrow...
:O)
MO:
I forgot to say.. thanks for the lyrics.. Fun!
hey carol....UR the one who mentioned Crap~ just sayin'~ :D
hey kgrl~ can't wait to collect my $10 worth of food~ :D
ebj~ u and ur package~ lol~
ok so does that mean your dropping by anytime soon? Bringin anyone with ya?
EBJ, when my oldest son was a senior in high school, he and his friends would go "deer humping" around the holidays and do that to people with those deer in their yards. At one house they moved Mary and Joseph over to "watch." I was so mad at him when I found out but did chuckle a bit when he left the room.
I wonder if some kids did that to your neighbor. It sure took him long enough to notice though!
Tina! I keep missing you! Sure hope you have an uneventful flight!
Carol, goodnight, sweet dreamzzzzz
Jodi, we call the "library", "Archie Bunker's reading room" lol!! Hope you are using "Charmin!"
EBJ, ;-)~
EBJ: Maurice is dead! :(
Bear~ Maurice was my favourite~
Mary~ Don't miss me....i'm not worth it~ :)~
kgrl~ have to check flts....and get past spring break~ and hell if i'm bringing anyone~
Sandie~ that is funny...sorta....kinda~ did you spank them?~
Tina, I'll go with you!!
Sandie, that is pretty funny! Putting Mary and Joseph over to watch!
My mom told me someone did that to their neighbor's reindeer too.
We have some mischievous kids in this neighborhood. We had a problem with ring the doorbell and runners, until one day recently when MR. EBJ happened to be in the garage and heard the kids coming up the driveway.
He heard the doorbell and saw them run, so went after them and made them take him to their house. He had a talk with the parents and they have not rang and run since!
I would bet that those boys are the ones who positioned the deer! haha
Which one in the video is Maurice?
Mary :)
EBJ, Mourice is the one who played the piano and wore a brimmed
hat. He is hard to recognize in the video. I guess I am remembering him as he last looked.
Tina, You will always be worth missing lol
ebj~ maurice has the straight hair~
Mary~ ur on~
awwwwwww mary~
100~
I miss Tinka!
lol I was wondering if some one was out there ready to march!
