Welcome to 2012's Monday's Music Moves Me!!! We are going to make this meme SPECTACULAR this year!! But of course, we cannot do that without all of you... so come on share your music with us and get your friends to share with us, too. Our fearless leader is none other that the sweetest and most wonderful Marie of XmasDolly.

ROCK ON MY FRIENDS

I'm very sorry to say there are some people not playing along just using our linky to get traffic for their blogs! Unfortunately, these bloggers will be marked and ignored, you will not get any benefit from our linky, so don't bother. All we ask is that you leave a comment, grab our button, ad/or follow us. If you don't want to post a video, you can post a link to a video, or post some lyrics, but please - at least attempt to make it music related.

 

*** Just one more thing...

PLEASE, we are family friendly blogs and while we really don't want to censor anyone,

but we do ask that you keep your songs rated PG13 or less.

If you find that you need to post songs of an explicit sexual nature or language,

please find a different venue. If your song does contain a small amount of questionable Language, please put disclaimer BEFORE the video.

Thank you very much!***

Football Funnies

In honor of the Super Bowl, I thought I'd share these silly little funnies with y'all... enjoy:


~ What did the football coach say to the broken vending machine?


    "Give me my quarterback!"



~ What do you call a lineman's kids?

    Chips off the old blocker.



~ Why did the poor quarterback have his receivers cross at midfield?

    Because he was trying to make ends meet.



~ Where do hungry football players play?

    In the Supper Bowl.


Hope you have fun watching the Super Bowl whoever you are rooting for... my team isn't in it, so I'll just be watching it for the game, and of course the commercials.  We will probably be going to our local favorite Irish pub, Shannon's of Celebration to watch it with some friends - if I can shake this awful cold and feel better.  Tell me what you are going to do for the big game or are you just going to have a regular Sunday?

Bitch & Moan Friday on Sunday

It's that time of week again. Time to bitch and moan and vent out all your frustrations before the weekend. Or in my case, before the beginning of the new week.

Then head on over to Fairy Blog Mother read Annette's post {which is always hysterical, and by that I don't mean to laugh at her, I mean to commiserate with her} and link up your post.

Here what pissed me off this week:

My laptop

It feels the need to just stop working whenever it feels like it... AOL just stops, I get the hourglass that keeps going and going and going forever... like the Energizer bunny. I have to pen the task manager (you know: control-alt-delete) and close AOL that way; then restart it up again. Also my letter "G" keeps sticking... {Go up and look at my sentence above about AOL, do you realize how many times I had to go back to fix that sentence - there are TEN "g"s in that sentence??? DAMN!!!} I'm sure it all goes back to that damn virus I got a couple of months ago. I can't seem to completely clear it up, and my laptop is so old that it is not worth paying someone to repair everything that is wrong with it. I need to save money for a new one. Which leads to my next B&M.....

Our Finances

Hate to say it but, they suck thanks to Medicare... We are in what they affectionately call the "donut hole". It is a gap in the Part D, or prescription coverage, that doesn't pay for anything except generic (oh, right, they are $4.00) until I have paid a total of $4,200.00 myself in prescriptions. If I had that much money to pay for prescriptions, I wouldn't need health insurance. I know that there are LOTS of people without ANY insurance at all, and believe me that pisses me off, too. In the most well-developed country in the world, everyone should be covered, but especially people who worked and put money into the Social Security system and now need that money for their medications. One of mine is over $250 per month and one is just over $175 per month. Then I have one for my migraines that is $30 per PILL!! YEAH, I'll say something has to be done about healthcare in our country.

5/3 Bank

I don't know if you have this bank in your area, but the name of this bank just drives me nuts! I know it is a petty thing, but who the hell thought up the idea to name a bank a fraction? And an improper fraction at that? Plus, try to say it out loud -- correctly!! FIFTH ~ THIRD, you cannot say it properly without saying it slowly and sounding like an idiot... Then if you say it quickly, you sound like you are lisping. I think the person who thought of the name should be fired and the person who said yes to the name should be fired as well, and then have to repaint all the signs when they come up with a real name for the bank.... Stupid idiot.

Monday Night Football on 10/12/09

OK, please don't jump all over me, but I am one of those people who believe that in America, we should speak one language - English. I am not prejudice or anti-immigration. My ancestors came from other countries, just as almost all other Americans' ancestors did. However, my Irish, Swedish, and German ancestors learned to read and write English to live and work in this wonderful country that we live in. During the MNF game there were several commercials, that I paid for because I have DirecTV, that were shown in Spanish, which I do not speak or understand. I also have about 8 channels on my DirecTV that are included in my package, that I have to pay for that I do not use, that are in Spanish - one of which is ESPN in Spanish and another is Telemundo... both of which show Monday Night Football. There was also one of the fouls called in Spanish by one of the officials, apparently I wasn't the only one who did not approve or understand since the crowd booed. I was extremely irritated by this... I do not want to pay for and hear my commercials in Spanish (I hate commercials to begin with, this just made it worse), if I have to hear or see them, I want them in English. That is the language my family speaks and understands. If I want to watch TV in Spanish, I will watch one of those 8 channels that I have to pay for in my package, and if Spanish speaking people want to see MNF in Spanish they can buy the same package.

Thanks for listening, I'm done now. Until next time..... Lorie

Self Portrait Sunday: Are You Ready for Some Football?

As you know my good friend at Maria's Space started this meme called Self-Portrait Sunday so that you can showcase pictures of ... who else but yourself!! Because, when you look through your scrapbooks and your digital photo albums, there are hardly ever any pictures of yourself, because you are always behind the camera. Here are my contributions for the week:

Today's subject is FOOTBALL.... There is only one photo of me however... I know, kind-of defeats the purpose, but you'll understand why when you see my pictures:

This is The Hubs explaining to Nano exactly HOW football is played - Nano is intently listening... He really wants to please his daddy!!

So, now, Nano is really intently watching The NY Giants win their first game!! Go Big Blue!!! Yippee!!

And of course, I am there to lend my support in my Giants jersey as I do every Sunday...

So, now it is your turn... head on over to Maria's Space and link up your Self Portrait Sunday.

Until next time..... Lorie
