I just thought I'd drop back in after a 16 month absense.

No fireworks viewing planned this weekend unless I completely blow the gift giving for my wife's birthday.

Whoops too slow - yes we have lots of birds nesting in our yard including 15 chickens.

DTPBM remember me?

I remember you Cabinboy!

DTPBM know why Cabinboy has been away from here so long?

No, I don't.

DTPBM know the story behind Cabinboy's login name?

Love and understanding are the best answers I've heard yet.

I do!! But I cheated...quickly searched for the old username thread:

Yes!  Hard labour builds character.

DTPBM agree with the above statement [SEG] ?  Where's my favourite cowgirl when I need her the most ?

The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.

Yes I agree 100% Hard work will enforce a never quit attitude towards life. That's some crack research Sammie! I'll fill in some of the gaps I've created over the past 16 months...the short answer is I became an endorphin junkie and have been running around like Forest Gump and as a result been frequenting running related discussion groups as I have attempted to turn this rapidly aproaching middle-aged body into a running machine. I have succeeded fairly well in that regard as my updated avatar is of me near the finish line of the '08 Boston Marathon. I will say that BR has never left my system - they are still frequent players on my mp3 and have accompanied for quite a few miles. That may be more than you wanted to know? Last night as I was listening to BR while doing the mind-numbing task of mowing my lawn I said to self...I need to get myself to a BR concert soon and I wonder how the forum is doing? So here I am again! DTPBM have a recent BR concert story they would like to share?

Not sure about building character...but it builds muscles!! I just moved two cartfuls & came in for a cold drink! Honest! [SEG]

Chaps is climbing aboard an Iron Horse about now, I think.

Ooops, sorry, Cabinboy, we were posting at the same time. I'll delete my question & let yours stand.

Recent BR concert story: I can't top February 14, 2008, in Ottawa, where Greg told off a loud drunk guy who was yelling all the time. Copy-pasted from the review thread:

There were some drunken louts yelling things (you know, "YEAH KEELOR!!!", stuff like that) during songs like "Know Where You Go"/"Tell Me Your Dream" and "Dark Angel", prompting Greg to tell this anecdote:

He had gone to see Neil Young at Massey Hall, and there was this guy sitting beside him (Greg) who kept yelling out "NEIL!!!!" during really quiet bits. Greg wondered what was going through Neil's mind when he heard that. "And now I know!" Greg said. "He was thinking, 'What a f*cking A-S-Shole!'" Ha ha! Hooray for Greg!

It was a treat to be in the front row for that little gem, let me tell you.

DTPBM like to record stuff on the computer? Sooooo much fun, especially when you're sleep-deprived and just saying whatever pops into your head.

"There's the shirt that I like!"

"It was nice singing with you this evening."

Not sure what you mean...like record what you say....I have not ever done that..

I like to now record videos I see since I know how....yay!!! Now I have to figure out how to convert and burn....

DTPBM have way too many dvd's ...I freakin do and just went through them and got rid of a bunch. Actually the only ones of mine might equal 10-12 the rest belong to the man...bunch of dumb crap...I can't believe they even waste the plastick on them..."I Eat your Skin"...wth is that?!

---

"There's one in every crowd, for crying out loud,
why was it always turning out be me"

I don't have too many DVDs...the boyfriend alleges I have too many books -- which of course is impossible.

And by "record" stuff, I meant like making a podcast or recording songs. My brother and I were playing around with Garage Band, a Mac program that lets you make podcasts. It was basically us sitting around insulting each other, playing a few songs that we imported from iTunes, and commenting on those songs.

DTPBM like cinnamon buns?

---

"There's the shirt that I like!"

"It was nice singing with you this evening."

It's too bad, but yes indeed I like cinnamon buns.......all the variations of them. The ones from Zehr's are pretty darn good. All that gooey frosting! Yummy.......and there are no calories in those are there????

DTPBM have too many socks???? I went throug mine today and decided that nobody should have that many pairs of socks.....

I have an adequate amount...LOL...I only use them for walking...but I sure would like to know where all Bella's socks go...OMG...I swear I'm buying new ones each week.

DTPBM like to watch racing...car or whatever

---

"There's one in every crowd, for crying out loud,
why was it always turning out be me"

We are racing fans here at our house. Ever since Tim took me to the first Indy race in Toronto I was hooked. Formula One is kind of boring and I don't really want to get up that early on a Sunday morning to watch it......I don't enjoy the NAS Cars all that much, too many cars that crash into one another. I am not as big a fan as I once was though. We were at the race in Toronto the year that a young driver (Jeff Krosnoff) and a track worker/volunteer(Gary Arven) were killed in a bad crash. It was always horrible when there is a crash and someone is hurt or worse, being there when it happened has just left me with a sad and empty feeling.........I still know the names of the two men. I guess it effected me more than I realized, cause it's still makes me tear up. This was well over 10 years ago.......Tim still loves it and is up early for every F1 race on Sundays!! 

DTPBM enjoy fireworks?? 

I enjoy fireworks more than I did when I was younger, although I still jump like mad whenever they go off. I'm VERY jumpy.

And boyfriend dearest is an F1 nut as well. I prefer to sleep in, or at least fall asleep on the couch while he watches the races.

DTPBM give people handmade birthday cards? 

---

"There's the shirt that I like!"

"It was nice singing with you this evening."

No...I have something against cards...I guess because they gather up and you hate to throw them out because of the sentiment behind them. Plus I'm not very crafty, unless the mood strikes me.

DTPBM wonder how something can have honey it and be calorie free?
