55 what is the tat on your left arm of? Is it like art work or a design thing just curious.

It's a koi fish surrounded by wind and waves, mostly black but there are some cherry blossoms and a few pink/yellow scales.

I actually have a video of us playing it...if I can find it I'll share it. I'll have to get it converted first, though (it's in VHS format).

It's really kind of funny...I was playing five bells (3 + 2), and there was one segment where I just couldn't get all of them rung when they were supposed to be, so one of the lower bass bell players was ringing my F for about a half page. Problem was, he kept forgetting to give it BACK. So in the video, you can see me walking behind a couple of other ringers, taking my bell back, and ringing it as I'm moving back to my station. :)

Somehow I like to imagine you in some hippie wedding dress with flowers in your hair playing the bells with your toes. Maybe its the avi.

Nah, you're cool...you have a legitimate accent due to natively speaking a different language. Southern/British/Chi-CAH-go/etc. accents are just because people can't talk right. Although, if my pasty white son started talking with a Hispanic accent, that'd get fixed right quick too, since it'd be phony.

Chauvinism? No, not at all, can you explain how you got to that conclusion?

Not MALE chauvinism...just chauvinism: an unfounded or excessive belief in the superiority of one's own "insert something here...like accents..."

Should have put a smiley on it. Sorry!

Ironically, the gay brides want me to sing a version of this that they modified for their wedding. I talked them into the new band director singing for most of the wedding. Still working on it for this song too, she is so much better than me, but at least the song is easily in my range.



Gonna be a long drive for me to pick you up in your yard, stuff you in your easy chair, coax you into drinking Ensure, and turning on ESPN for you to yell at. And somehow he charmed me into making lasagna tonight and bringing him some. Too hot for lasagna but he thought he might be able to eat something like that. :rolleyes: I am so easily manipulated.



Living life with that little one is more important than CF. By the time Pants lands Nickels, maybe he can be the ring bearer.

Asked one of the kids what One Direction was. He said he never had been prouder of me than the fact I didn't know this.:unsure:

Carvers! I thought you were Team Nickels-Pants?!

I eloped the first time. It was February. There was over 2 ft of snow on the ground. I wore jeans.

When PapaLew & I got married, I was planning on wearing a nice dressy suit that I could re-use. He had other plans. He decided that I was going to have the dress and wedding I never had before, and the whole thing kind of exploded from there. All six of our kids were in the ceremony. His two boys were the best men, my two boys escorted me down the aisle, then stood with PapaLew as groomsmen, and the two girls were my bridesmaids.

I did have flowers in my hair, but it was a comb and they were fake. And I wore heels, that came off the second we got to the reception hall! ;)

Nope - I don't look like this any more. But I did ONCE! :) And I'm standing on a step above my sons, wearing 4-inch heels...

Wow - never really read any of the RTTs before... waiting to win those damn tickets and I've covered like the last 60 or 70 pages of this one. I did not know the internets had such entertainment. So many plot lines.
