Chosen by Vig
I was listening to Ani DiFranco last night, who's music I don't know that well but the songs that I do know blow me away. She is a true poet and metaphor magician. I was inspired by her songs to write a my Myspace status update about the music and musician I was listening to. Carol picked up on this and suggested Ani for a blog. A fabulous idea I thought and as '"32 Flavors" is probably one of her most recognizable songs and one of my favourites, that would be my choice of songs. To me it says that we are all unique, have many levels to us, show to people what we want them to see and that we don't need to change for anyone else. The last one a lesson I'm still learning! Have a listen - what do you think?

woot!!! must be my lucky weekend!! off to read and get the all important cawfee
SCIRISH...you go girl!! Gratz on 1 again!
I was hoping it was about ice cream!
VIG...I can't listen, but if you like this song then it must be good.
BONACCI...from area 51, I never meant to imply that YOU were refering to the Roloffs. That was just an adventure my sick mind made. I know you wouldn't mean to offend them or anyone.
Morning Mo...I can't listen to the song yet either...SOME people are still sleeping. I don't know why...Just 'cause it's a gloomy, grey Sunday...Sheesh!
Bonacci...I could probably dig up a teenager or two to help you with your research...
Bonacci...I give up!! What is a bridee in weird English??? Is it a Bride in training? Google doesn't know either...
Good Morning Everyone. I will be back in an hour to read the blog and comments. I just wanted to check in and tell everyone "Hello".

Good morning scrish (congrats on #1), Mo and Tink. VIG, 32 Flavors. What a great metaphor.
Mo, I work with a little person and he's very blunt about being so. It never crossed my mind that anyone here would be insensitive.
Scrish, thanks for the teenager offer, but I'm not an alien researcher. Just a victim of them.
A bridee is a light flaky pastry filled with some kind of meat mixture. Like a meat pie. I've only seen them in Scotland and England.
Scrish, I wondered why you couldn't find bridee on google. I tried different spellings (bridie, bridey) and thought you might be interested in this: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bri1.htm
HI - I am up once more. This time I hope I am up to stay. I will have some breakfast and feed my babies and I will definitely be back to read the blog. I see my friend VIG wrote it today. HI VIG.

Bonacci...Ah! It's a pasty!! I have heard of them, but never had one. I imagine it is similar to a beef pot pie only more portable.
Good Morning Scirish - Congrats on being first. Are you ahead of Lynn?
Good Morning Maureen and Bonacci. There aren't many owls in the nest this morning.
Oh I forgot to watch the video. I think I will march to 25 first before Mek gets here LOL.

Good Morning VIG - Nice talking to you on your walk this morning. Isn't it a lovely day? I listened to the video. That is the first time I have heard her. She is very good. I agree with your analysis of the song. We don't need to change for anyone else.
I am so far behind in reading blogs I think I am going to have to start fresh. This flu is not a pleasant one. I am waiting for a diagnosis to see if I am now a statistic.
Thank you owls who commented on my pictures. The cruise now seems to be a distant memory. I am happy I have pictures.
Today I am going to sit in the sun on my deck. It is a perfect day here in Victoria. Wishing some of you could drop by. Have a good day whatever your weather is. Have fun. Love, Tinka

Scrish, I can't believe you have any frame of reference other than meat pie!
The first time I saw one the word "pastie" was used to describe it. To me, that means "meat pie", but when I said that, I apparently insulted the lady selling them.
Here's another confusing one... Salad Cream. What a stupid name for a condiment you use on sandwiches!
Scirish Hey, congrats on first, again. You're on a roll!
Tinka Congrats on 25 and 30. I'm glad you're feeling a little perkier. Enjoy your time in the sunshine. So far, we just had overcast skies today.
VIG Thank you for the lovely song today. I'd never heard of her before.
Waving a wing at MO. Did you get your TV squared away?
Waving at Bonacci, too. Are any of your pretend people still living or have you knocked them all off. LMAO!
Hey, I got #32 on the "32 Flavors" blog. Shouldn't I get something for that? And I don't mean the clap. LOL
Happy Sunday Everyone!
VIG/AN: I've never heard of Ani DiFranco..nor heard her music, but I liked this song. I like folk music for the deep messages that come from the artists. It's a soothing type of music that really makes you think.
This song really hit home for me cuz I have been struggling with changing some things about myself that others find annoying. It's really a difficult thing to do. At my age, I don't know if it's even possible. Sometimes I want to stop trying to change and just BE..ya know? For me, accepting myself for who I am is one of the hardest lessons I've ever tried to learn. Maybe someday I will.
Thanks for introducing me to Ani DiFranco VIG..great blog!
MR Z is calling me for something or another..so I'll bbiab...Have a great day everyone!!
Hi Just-Lin and Zona-My-Baby. Nice to see you. I just finished sending out comments twice. The first time I didn't realize the 'preview' sign was not coming up, just the 'submit' sign. I was sending a bunch of letters and numbers. Thanks Jodi for letting me know. Now I am off for my nap.
First a mini march.

Pretend People Report: After all the terrible and horrific things I have done to them, 5 have died. Of old age. You can't kill them on purpose. I've tried.
SCIRISH: Congrats on FIRST! Looks like you're back in the groove of being on top.. :)
MO: I hope you are enjoying your day!
TINKA: I certainly wish I could drop by and have a nice chat with you! Congrats on 25! :D
J/LIN: How about a standing O for 32? ;)
BONACCI: The blog you wrote yesterday reminded me of one of my favorite movies ever.."The Great Race". Even with all the pitfalls..it sounded like an interesting adventure!
Zona, I think you should just be you. That's your mark. How will people remember you if you're not you?
CAROL: Loved your blog "Purpose, as in Life". You are so right, Life moves on..carrying us with it. If today is a sad day..wait and tomorrow just might turn out to be the happiest you've ever experienced. Life holds no promises..just that we must try to get from day to day as best as we can.
Thank you for this insightful blog CAROL!
BONACCI: I remember a game from the 80's called Populous..is that the kind of game you're playing?
..they probably won't..LOL...
Geez...Mr Z sure is demanding today..bbl..

Hi Owls...thanks for comments on Ani! (pronounced 0n -ee). I love her music. Since she is new to a lot of you, here's a little info:
DiFranco was born in Buffalo, New York, to mother Elizabeth and father Dante, both graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[6][7] She started playing Beatles covers at local bars and busking with her guitar teacher, Michael Meldrum,[8] at the age of nine.
In 1989, DiFranco started her own record company, Righteous Records (renamed Righteous Babe Records in 1994).[2] Prior to the renaming of Righteous Records to Righteous Babe Records, DiFranco worked with manager Dale Anderson, a writer for the Buffalo News, who later started another record label called Hot Wings Records when the two parted ways. Hot Wings released the work of Buffalo area female musical performers with styles similar to that of DiFranco. Early releases of her CDs produced prior to 1994 are labeled with the original Righteous Records label. Her self-titled debut album was issued on the label in the winter of 1990. Later, she relocated to New York City, where she took poetry classes at The New School and toured vigorously.
DiFranco identifies herself as bisexual,[9][10] and has written songs about love and sex with both genders. She addressed the controversy about her sexuality with the song "In or Out". In 1998, she married sound engineer Andrew Gilchrist in a Unitarian Universalist service in Canada, overseen by U.U. minister Utah Phillips. Numerous media sources reported that her fans felt betrayed by her union with a man.[11] DiFranco and Gilchrist divorced five years later.
In 1998, DiFranco's drummer, Andy Stochansky, left the band to pursue a solo career as a singer-songwriter. Their rapport during live shows is showcased on the 1997 album Living In Clip.
DiFranco's father died early in the summer of 2004.[12] In July 2005, DiFranco developed tendinitis and took a hiatus from touring. DiFranco had toured almost continuously in the preceding fifteen years, only taking brief breaks to record studio albums. Her 2005 tour concluded with an appearance at the FloydFest World Music and Genre Crossover festival in Floyd, Virginia. DiFranco returned to touring in late April 2006, including a performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 28 and a performance at the renowned Calgary Folk Music Festival on July 30, 2006.
DiFranco gave birth to a daughter, Petah Lucia DiFranco Napolitano,[13] at her Buffalo home on January 20, 2007. The child's father is DiFranco's new husband, Mike Napolitano,[14] the co-producer of DiFranco's 2006 release Reprieve. Essentially a full-time resident of New Orleans, DiFranco is heavily influenced by the city's post-Katrina plight.[15][16]
And the lyrics to "32 Flavors":
"32 Flavors"
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
and I'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said
both my parents taught me about good will
and I have done well by their names
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
is more than I can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so I would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
til I'd passed and left them alone
and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a pheonix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back
I'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint
but I will always say
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said
Zona, the rally I wrote about is something I did every year for 7 years. I saw things I just couldn't believe. I met people I never dreamed existed. I did things I would never consider normally. The conditions are terrible, you're exhausted and sore. It was one of the funnest jobs I've ever had, and I'd do it all again.
VIG Great lyrics! Thanks for posting them. I couldn't hear them all on the vid.
Happy Sunday hooters!
VIG this is a great song! I have never heard of Ani Di Franco before.
I have heard a cover of this song performed by Alana Davis, it is good too!
Today I have gone grossry shopping, got car washed and filled up with gas, made a home made cheesecake, have dinner made and cooked (I made stuffed shells and baked them already, as it is gonna be a HOT afternoon). And have the last load of laundry in!
So now I am catching up on the blog. Had a hellish week at work and a busy Saturday. Now I can relax the rest of the day.
Bonacci your blog yesterday was so interesting! What an exciting, adventurous life you have.
Congrats for no longer being a blog writing virgin!
Nancy the kitty is trouble with a capital T. She is so mischievous and a complete dare devil.
We have to watch her constantly. Today she jumped into the dryer as I was putting in some wet clothes.
I have caught her in Poe's cage, she can pull herself up into it now.
She did her disappearing act a couple days ago that I posted about (MR. EBJ searched the house frantically for her. After 3 hours found her asleep in one of the legs of a pair of his pants).
She has grown so much, now 7 1/2 weeks old. And eats like a horse!
I received the book "The Necklace" from Jodi, I haven't started it yet but hopefully will today or tomorrow.
I will check back later! Hope everyone is having a nice day!

yipee!
Zona....thank you for your heartfelt response to Ani. And I just want you to know that you are perfect just the way you are.....you don't need to make any changes unless you want to! Hugs!
EBJ....sounds like Miss Nancy is quite the character! She has brought you joy along with mischieviousness! What doe Poe think of her?
EBJ You have accomplished so much today! You put me to shame. I don't even know what I'm having for dinner, let alone cooked it already. Yes, you are going to have to keep a very close eye on Nancy. The dryer? Yikes!
Phew, I am exhausted from all the work EBJ has done already! Nancy sounds like a handful! I am thinking that means she is a healthy, curious and adventurous kitty!
VIG...thanks for the lyrics. They are wonderful. I usually google the lyrics every SUnday of the vid, but hadn't gotten to it yet. Thanks!
TINKA...I hope you are back to feeling 100% soon.
ZONA...you are YOU and that is the you we love.
Hmmm, no TINA yet today. I hope she survived party #2!!!!!
I have done nothing today except play a ton of spider solitaire! I need to get something accomplished...anything!
75
Ummm...Mo??...Honey...You're supposed to play solitaire with CARDS....not Spiders
Bonacci...I think it is somewhere down south where mayonnaise is called "salad dressing" so I guess salad cream could be a natural progression...
I have read about those pasty things...Apparently they are a source of pride by region and there have been many grand discourses on just what ingredients make the perfect pasty/pastie/bridee. I guess the name must matter as well....
East Bay J - I love hearing stories about Miss Nancy. You are both lucky to have each other.
80
VIG - Thanks for posting the lyrics to the song. I had a little trouble hearing them. Hope you had a good walk by the beach.
Zona - How hot is it there? It is 78 F here and beautiful. I will expect you for tea.
Bonacci, I just read your blog from yesterday and I thought it was amazing. The part of you having that shiny stamp on your passport is not cool. That sucks!
During your car runs, which is the neatest car that you ever rode?
Oh, VIG what a neat song. I love listening to the audience whoop and holler. It adds more flavor to the song. I could feel the energy and excitment coming from that room!
Congrats on number one Scirish!
VIG - Luv this song!! I am what I am....lumps, bumps, chins, rack and all!! I have never been one to put on airs for anyone. Take me as I am.....PERIOD!!!
ZONA - I really wish you would embrace who you are!!! Cuz you're a great person and phenominal friend. Luv u!!
TINKA - It is a beautiful day here, too!! We're finally getting some warmer, sunny days!!
iteach, I usually ride in a van or something practical, following the actual Rally participants. I've hitched rides in some interesting vehicles...
A Bugatti was the most expensive. The worst was a Ferrari Scaglietti because it has a joke for a back seat. My knees were next to my eyeballs. An ice cream truck, an ambulance, a 3-wheeled (2 cylinder)job that reminded me of the Flintstones and assorted recycled police cars.
The best car of all though, is the one that makes regular bathroom stops.
Jodi - Isn't it great to finally get some summer weather. I thought we were going to skip summer altogether.
Tina - Belated birthday wishes for your twins. Sorry I wasn't in the nest on their birthday. Have you survived the party?
Iteach - How many days of school do you have left? Are you getting excited?
EBJ: Is Nancy after Poe? Yikes!
Time for a march. I am not up to taking the dogs for a walk yet. Maybe tomorrow. They did fine in the Kennel by the way. They had each other and that helped. I surely missed them however.

Hello Hooters!!!!
I;m back from the weekend at the camper and it was WONDERFUL and relaxing. Got home around 2 and had 2 graduation parties in the neighborhood- so don't have to make dinner tonight- we ate 2 full meals! Afterwards we went on an 1 and 1/2 hour walk with Pepper to lose some of those calories.
Haven't read the blogs from this weekend yet- but wanted to stop in and say hi.
Scirish congrats on #1
Vig,Thanks for the vid. I love her voice. I will have to check on her other songs.I am glad I was not the only one who couldn't hear all the words, my hearing is not the best. Thanks so much for her bio and the words to the song.
EBJ,You have had a busy day! I got a kick out of your finding Nancy in the pant leg. She sure is adventurous!
Tinka, so glad you are feeling better! I have a pretty visual of you sitting on your porch today.:)
i worked outside trimming bushes and watering my plants. It was a beautiful day. Mr Mary lit the sauna. I sweated my hiney off in there! (wishful thinking lol).
MO,I am having the same problem with my garage t.v. One station, but beautiful picture! I think we will be getting a small room antenna. I do my exercises in there and Mr Mary watches some sports stuff when they are on local stations only. We have to pay extra on satellite for local channels which we don't do!
Tina, area51 I just watched "Gran Torino the other day. It was, like, a very good movie lol!
btw that was supposed to be small "roof" antenna :)
MARY...I am using rabbit ears and I took JUST LINS advice and set my tv to channel 3, then did the auto program aagain, and now I have 2 stations, 1 spanish language station and 1 weather map! But the picture is ohhh so pretty! Maybe tomorrow I will have a 3rd station to watch! Do you get "no signal" on your screen when trying to get the channels?
Mo, yes I get that message too! I bought the latest rabbit ears. They work if I stand outside and hold them up high :(
HI Goldie - Happy to hear you had a great time in the camper. I have wonderful memories of camping when my kids were little.
HI Mary - I wish I could have cruised like you did and arrived home without being sick. It took some of the fun out of it for a while. Now I have happy memories but for a few days the thought of all the food on the ship wasn't appealing. Cruising is great though isn't it?

Carol, the Rally Mantra: It's a rally, not a race;) Racing would be illegal.
Congrats on first scrishy. :)
Vig: Great video, I have never heard of that artist before but really liked her!! Excellent. I love folk music.
I hope everyone had a good day. What a weekend. a yard sale from H E double hockey sticks! And, for the finale, it rained as we were packing up. My pedometer got water logged and I thought it was broken. My sister and I laughed our asses off and the Goodwill got 3 carloads of CRAP!
All that work and my daughter and I walked away with $62 after splitting it. haha, oh well.
MY BASEMENT LOOKS BETTER!
To top it off, we went to a birthday party last night and Mr. Bebbi tied one on and I had to make him grilled cheese sandwiches at 1:30 a.m. because he didn't feel so good. haha..stay away from Everclear Maraschino Cherries!
From Area 51: Oh gawd Carol, walking at the Y and at the park is really low on the adventure scale..hehe. But thank you, for thinking that. I only got about 8,100 steps today. I don't know the exact amount because my pedometer crapped out for a while. Thank goodness it came back to life. My weekend consisted of KFC Grilled chicken, macaroni salad, chocolate cake..and lots of bad stuff. Nice break though the scale will not be fun to look at tomorrow.
Going to read comments.
Tink, I'm sorry you weren't feeling well. Getting sick on vacation sucks.
Zona: I love that movie! (The Great Race) one of my alltime favorites too.
Tink, me too. I hope you get to feeling better. If it is the swine flu, I hope it wasn't from eating Mo's bacony behind. haha..just kidding!!
Yes! The Lakers just won the Championship! The concern rays I've been sending through the TV worked!
WTG Lakers!
Tinka, I loved my cruise! It would be so much fun to go with all the nesters! The cruise line would never be the same lol! We were on an Italian ship. All the food was great and nutritious! A little junk food would have been good :)
btw. one of my myspacers is having problems. I keep getting weird comments from her that she didn't send. I think it is some kind of advertisement gimmick. There is a link to s----.com. I won't post it since I would be helping them lol! I deleted them, one showed up again! I wonder how they grabbed her addy?
Mary: I am so leary of myspace anymore. It really screws up my computer. My computer is really slow when I open it. I hope your friend figures it out.
Glad you had a nice cruise. I bet it was wonderful. That is on my list to do someday.
BEBBI...my bacon ass is not responsibe for swine flu! It is a healthy ass!!!!
So glad the Lakers stomped all over the Magic! Karma, after they stomped my Cavs!!
JUST LIN...thanks for the link, I will check it out.
it is auto programming again.
i'll let you know
Mo: I know, you cannot get swine flu from eating pork. I was joking on that, I think it is funny when people think you can get it from eating pork. One of my bosses actually said right after it came out that the swine flu was in the US, "I ate pork, I hope I don't get the flu".. derrrrrr...
still didnt work
BEBBI... I knew you were only kidding around!
I knew you knew but wanted to make sure you knew, cause, you know, I love ya and wouldn't ever want to know that I offended you.
Just so you know. ;)
BEBBI...just so you know, i knew and I knew you knew but ya never know, so i wanted you to know i knew you knew. Know what I mean ;)~
lol
LOL! Cool, just so we got that all cleared up, I think we can start anew.
Hey!
I forgot to congratulate Scirishy on 1st today!
Nancy hasn't gone after Poe, I hope she learns that she is in big trouble if she does! We have introduced them, Poe never had a problem with Paula and I hope these 2 will get along.
He could seriously hurt or kill her.
I have had to squirt her a couple times with water when she gets in his space. I don't know how else to teach her to stay away. We certainly would never spank her, and I don't like yelling.
Poe has started telling her "NO"! He also yells at her "GET OUT OF THERE". It is pretty funny!
Today I read 3 chapters of The Necklace! What a great book!
Does anyone know who gets it after me??
BBL or tomorrow!
Has anyone heard from Tina? Did she survive her parties?
TINAAAAA!!! YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!!
EBJ: I sure would like to be on the list to get it at some point. If it isn't too late to be added.
Great. Bebbi & Mo have invented a new dialect to confuse the crap out of the rest of us.
BONACCI...nothing new, just renewing the fact we knew, anew!
LoL!
I think it would be fun to have a "word of the day". I think the word of the day for today is "knew". You know, how Ellen has a word of the day that she tries to get her celebrity guests to say..haha. Okay, I think too much. My mind is mush from this crazy yard sale weekend.
TINA - I loved Gran Torino. My son Tim had seen it with a friend, and wanted to see it again, so we went together. Great movie!!! Eastwood is in fine form!
Carol: Me? Crazy? Only on occasions like right now, when I'm crusing on lite beer, medicinal marijuana, and shots of Patrone! LOL!
Judy: Very interesting, especially Poe taking his own survival into his own... talons!
Hi Jodi and Whabby! Hope you are doing well.
Whab: I hope that you have someone to hold you up later. haha. I know Mr. Bebbi needed that last night after his beer, etc.
HODI...what are you doing up so late???????? Hope you're ok.
WHABBY...High, oops mean hi!
Hey BEBBI!!
MOHO - I have tomorrow off...but I'm fading fast. I've been up since 2am.
Whab, you got any Absinthe in that buffet of yours?
WHABBY - You? Drunk blogging? NEVAH!!!
sssshhhhh....be vewy vewy quiet...I'm hunting for 169!!

Good night BEBBI!! I hope I didn't mow you over in my march to 169. :O)
Congras on 169 Jodi! Niters

MOHO - Nice try.....:P
Jodi: Actually, I had a little crick in my back and you stepped on it in just the right spot. I fell tons better now. Thanks! Jodi = chiropractor and 69'or.
EBJ - Glad you're enjoying the book. It really is amazing!!
yeah, I need sleep..."fell" = "feel"
BEBBI - You're welcome!! I'm really not a chiropractor, but I used to work for one. True story....he actually talked me thru giving him an adjustment once. Scared the bejezus out of me!!
We are headed to bed! Stopping by to say sweet dreams to everyone!
Bear I hope you don't have a headache in the AM! :)
Jodi I am loving the book so far!
Nitey nite!
EBJ - Good night!!
I can hardly keep my eyes open. Heading to bed. Good night to all my HOoters!!!
Bonacci - Thanks for the kind words. If my flu gets diagnosed as Swine flu I will never call it that again. It will be H1N1 henceforth. I will let you all know. You can't catch it from the computer.
Mary - I was on Holland America. The food was great in the dining room but you could still get hamburgers and tacos pool side on the Lido deck. Yes I think the whole nest of owls should go on a cruise for Day 1000.
Hi Bebbi - It's nice to talk to you. We are rarely on the blog at the same time.
Whabbear - And just what ailment caused the doctor to prescribe that "medicine"? I am very interested. LOL
Who got 169? Maureen or Jodi?

East Bay J - You must make a video of Poe and Miss Nancy. You could put it on u-tube.
I have had a really good day. This is the first time I have been up at this hour since my holiday. It feels good.
