If you go to this site and enter the full date of your Birth/Anniversary/any other significant date; you can find out what was the #1 sonfg on the charts for that day, and every year on that date from the start to the present.

Here's what was hot on the day I entered kicking and screaming into this thing called life:

No wonder I'm so layed back, with Perry Como for my theme! LOL

It is with great sadness that I have to announce a death in the family.

It causes no less grief that it was one of the animal members.

When BethA got home from work she checked on her beloved companion of the last twelve years, a great Tuxedo cat named Asia. Asia hadn't felt well for the last several days, but at 2300 Hrs tonight he took a turn for the worse and we decided to take him to the local 24 hr Vet hospital to try to see if there was anything to be done.....two x-rays and a period of time in an oxygen tank later, it was determined the he was in heart failure, and although there was a course of treatment to be given; it was to the tune of $2500.00 for the initial course and continuing treatments that could only delay the inevitable, with no guarantee that the quality of his life would be anywhere near pain free.

So at 0315 hrs this morning the Vet sent our beloved Asia into a comfortable eternal sleep. Beth was holding him in her arms as he passed and it was peaceful.

I am not a cat person by any means but I was hard put to hold it together for Beth's sake, We have lost a true friend and close companion.

It may be difficult for non-pet people to understand, but it truly is like the loss of an immediate family member.

Still, when I count my blessings when sitting down for the Thanksgiving feast, I will be grateful that we did the right thing and put Asia out of his pain.

Those that know me KNOW how I feel about Heavy Metal or Rap "music"( namely , that it ISN"T music). But then there is always the exception to the rule and this You-Tube by Stuck Mojo has a message that we all need to hear. Forget the medium;listen to the message:

Seems that Alan Colmes will be leaving his co-host spot on Fox's HANNITY & COLMES show after the first of the year. Too bad, in my opinion; Mr. Colmes was a great exampler of the Liberal (idiotic) point of view and was a good counterbalance to some of Hannity's more bombastic assertions.

Doesn't affect me in any case, I'll be watching Glen Beck.
