Song: Almost Home
 Cat
Album: I Love It
(Craig Morgan/Kerry Curt Phillips)
He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing "5 below
It was freezing rain an' spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said,"Old man are you ok?"
He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home..."
Then he said,"I was just comin' round the barn"
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of ཱི
That's as close as I've been
"Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home"
I said,"old man you're gonna freeze to death"
Let me drive you to the mission
He said,"Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"
"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"
"Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home..."

That is NOT Craig Morgan signing. It sounds like
bad karaoke to me.
Right title, wrong singer - its Craig Morgan!!

oh that is funny !! its great to have passion :)

I think Blake has great voice and
a very unique style all his own. He deserves to still be in the competition. 
Morgan Freeman or
James Earl Jones
You are so right! They are truly my passion.
I am making arrangements in my will (hopefully will get to this soon) to donate any money to ASPCA. Does my heart good just to think of it. I have no children, and I am the youngest sibling.
Aren't they just amazing? They make me laugh and cry, sometimes both at the same time! Good to know there are lots more like me!! 
What's your passion? If you could do anything you wanted to do, what would it be?
Snorkel in the Caribbean.
I'm so old I remember when a crime of passion
Just like the Tropical Passion Fruit
I love that stuff. I only have a little inch in a purse-size spray now.  Supposedly they may bring it back, but I am bummed. I loved that for the summer. 
Love him with a purple passion!
Wish I had met him before the other 3. We have 9 years and he was just telling me yesterday about how much he loves me, told me he thinks about me all the time and repeated the same several times.
I second that. Daniel Craig too!...
They are both my free pass...my DH's free pass is Sandra Bullock....
Try Craig's List.

I tried Jenny Craig...sm
but after the first week I gained 3 pounds. They were dumbfounded. They asked if I followed the diet to the letter and I did but I am not surprised that I gained weight. I cannot eat carbohydrates at all. If I do, I get a terrible sugar low where I practically have to crawl to the refrigerator to get food. So, I went on my own diet. I ate scrambled eggs and coffee with regular half-n-half. Lunch was always tuna in a packet with chopped pickles or tomatoes or both and a green apple and a cup of coffee and dinner was always chicken and caesar salad or fish and vegetables, cup of diet soda, and then a cup of coffee afterwards. I did occasionally cheat, i.e. couple of Tollhouse cookies but not very often or I would go out to dinner and eat something fattening. I also exercised at least four times a week for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours at the gym. I actually started this in about November but started walking 4 miles a day two months before in September but walking never really did help me to lose weight. It was the gym. Walking just toned my legs. I would walk 4 miles a day and then go to the gym for about 2 hours. From November to June I went from a size 24 to a size 12. I LOOKED FABULOUS AND FELT LITERALLY REBORN!! By the way, I thought the food at Jenny Craig but very, very good. My favorite was the french toast with the berries. There was a veggie burger that I did not like so I just did not choose that for my meals. But everything else, I felt, was delicious. It just didn't work for me. Good luck to you. Get that weight off and you WILL feel reborn!!!!!!
Has anyone posted pic on Craig's and
if so is it hard to do? I have some rugs that I want to take pictures of and sell but just recenty acquired a digital camera and just not sure how hard it would be for me to do that. I know how to send in email to others but can you give me an idea of how that goes?
Craig's List also has pets.
Sometimes even people trying to rehome adorable tiny dogs like a Yorkie.
Just a thought. Hope you get just the right family member for you, but there can be a lot of heartbreak from getting a dog from a breeder who only cares about the money instead of one who is trying to improve the breed and doesn't breed their dogs to death.
I hate to be all depressing when you just want a puppy. Sorry.
Anyone have success with Jenny Craig?
I would be interested in hearing your experiences. Is the food as good as they say? Val looks great!!!
Jenny Craig worked for me - no cooking.
Can be expensive, around 70 a week a few years ago, but I lost around 15 lbs in a few months.
I'm guessing because a crag (hence Craig) is a cliff
It took me a minute too, and I'm just guessing.
You could try Craig's list. Are you including pictures with your ads?
That always gets people too. Pictures of sweet little puppies.... AWWWW.
Mike Rowe and Daniel Craig are on my "list" too!! LOL! nm

Look in the local freebies section of the paper or Craig's list
Sometimes a stove is free or really cheap. Look to see if anyone has one listed under appliances. Next, get a CAT! I have one who loves to mouse. He started when he was just a couple months old. He would rather catch mice than anything else in the world. I have never had a mice problem and I live in the country. Now the only thing is they're very proud of themselves when they do catch one and like to share it with those they love!
Thank you for a voice of reason
I think there are more than one or two of us in this predictament. Making the changes I'm trying to make right now is actually exacerbating the anxiety, but I know it's my only way out and in the long-run will alleviate the anxiety. My body and mind have been screaming at me for a year now, I can't live on Xanax to keep this job, I'm getting less and less effective and more apathetic. My spouse is supportive and has recently put his foot down on "no dinners at the computer" and "no vacations where I look at you hunched over a computer," and "tell them to take their vacation policy and stick it where the sun doesn't shine." I think I needed that nudge and am glad for the support, though I still feel someewhat guilty when I don't push myself to the limit.
Quietmoods, you're not alone.
Everyone has a right to voice their opinion - (sm)
No need for you to debate - just state your opinion and move on.
Anyone who never has to raise their voice to get (sm)
I have an 8 year old an almost 11 year old and my husband is gone a lot. They are basically good children, never get in trouble at school except occasionally for talking, don't really do anything malicious or mean. But sometimes the bicker incessantly with each other and many times I feel as if I have to tell them repeatedly to do something and finally have to get a mad voice before they listen -then their feelings are hurt because I raised my voice. Right now my son is crying because I told him he has to help clean the house before he can have friends over this morning (he is almost 11). On school days they don't want to help because they have been at school all day. On weekends they don't want to help because those are their only days off. I am making them help even though they don't want to, but why the tears? It makes me feel like a mean mom, but I can't do it all myself and don't feel I should have to.
Oh, the voice of Darth Vader!
I've definitely been spending way too much time on the Medquist board! Thank you everyone who reminded me about James Earl Jones and the finer things in life. Isn't it amazing that he has a problem with stuttering but has managed to develop such a beautiful voice? See what some of our docs could do if they tried? When I'm done working for the day, I think I'll listen to his narration of Aaron Copeland's A Lincoln Portrait. Beautiful music, gorgeous voice.
A truly magnificent voice and talent. nm

I CAN have my opinion and give voice to such.

Thank goodness, another voice of reason!
My husband did not "cop out", he provided more than enought support, insurance, braces, etc. The deadbeat mother who didn't want to work is to blame here, she taught her daughters to take men for all their worth and then move on; nice role model.As long as she got the child support and played the "victim" she was happy as could be, yet still dumped her children off on other's to raise without notifying the father. Yes, he did go back to court, but guess what, when kids are in their teens they are allowed to decide where they want to live and dad was not one of their options. Too bad because had they have given him one ounce of respect and kindness there is nothing he would not do for them. Now that the well has run dry for them support wise we don't hear from them. Grow up, accept responsibility and get a job to help pay for school; millions do it and have survived!
Just say "Dave ain't here, man" in your best stoner voice... nm
haha
Finally - a voice of reason in the wilderness!
and please, OP - GET OVER IT - he WAS just being nice!
Rachel Ray also drives me nuts with her voice.
I like the woman who does Barefoot Contessa, calm and relaxed with a soothing way about her.
Gene Simmons' son. He has the MOST awewome voice.
x
that's not surprising; he has an awesome sounding voice

I thought Adam's voice was SO annoying.
nm
small voice from the back... "I think I'm going to be bus sick." Everyone else... "STOP
nm
No, Robin...You're the VOICE OF REASON on this topic and
And you're saving me the trouble of posting since you're beating me to it.
Keep posting and keep the reality checks coming, please!!!
I heard the voice yelling out about broken record
and I figured Kara was saying similar statement as she had for previous round. Had no idea Megan's brother. I, like you, could not believe how she was acting and basically think she shot her own self in her foot. What music producer would take a wannabe and try to make a star out of that? Besides do not consider her that talented at all.
Yes, I watched that. She has a beautiful voice. A real joy to listen to!! nm
nm
Basing on talent, I think Taylor Hicks has a phenomenal voice.

The voice of Darth Vader was James Earl Jones.
DEEP
It's a catchy tune, she has a unique voice, different sound blending 60s Motown and current lyric

Craig Ferguson, Late Late Show
Such a great interviewer and SO handsome!
Limbo. Great song, great game. Also,
The girls all line up and walk through a room as if they are modeling on the catwalk. Get a couple of bright colored boa's from the party store. It's a real riot and the kids have a blast especially if a couple of brave boys grab a boa and do it too. We've had many a birthday party doing this and it was totally hilarious.
Wow!! What a great attitude! I love that - great perspective!

What great determination and help from a great friend! :) nm
s
I am sure that you are a great mother and a great cook,
and that you tried everything, now try the 'hunger diet'.
Great one! Thanks!! nm
nm
That's great!!
A great big congrats to your daughter! She is so fortunate to have such a supportive and helpful family!!
Did he say anything at all about how great a new job for you would be? I'd keep an eye on him as
s
Wow, that's great!
We had always said 3 and that's when we stopped. They are all teenagers now. Wouldn't change a thing either.
That was great.
I'm glad they did that. What fun. Not only was he thin, but his clothes were nice. No jump suit. I preferred his hair when it was his natural brown rather than the black dye job.
