I said it once (on FB) and I'll say it again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (even though I'm a day late here... I'm SURE it was gloriously happy)

Yay! I made it. And I'm so so happy, too, since I made two new (to me) discoveries as a result of listening to these tunes that will be added to my iPod. 1. Moneygrabber ~ Fitz and the Tantrums (this is one of them) 2. Say It Right ~ Nelly Furtado 3. Shadows of the Night ~ Pat Benatar 4. Self Control ~ Laura Branigan 5. Hanging By A Moment ~ Lifehouse 6. Show Me What I'm Looking For ~ Carolina Liar (this is the other one) 7. Until I Fall Away ~ Gin Blossoms 8. Caribbean Queen ~ Billy Ocean 9. End of the Road ~ Boyz II Men 10. Second Chance ~ Shinedown Thanks for the great tunes, Kenne.

glad you can hold this one open for a little while... I've got a deadline tomorrow night and I'm jammin' along, have to get it done before I can stop and listen.

I think I deserve at least 5 points for that answer. You are a good person, Carl. Anybody that does random nice things has a good soul. Unless you're Ted Bundy.

really? ha! if I'd had time (and known how) to count these up, I would have been doing mine every day.

listening and voting tomorrow... don't close up!

You send it to a charity that has something to do with kids who never see seasons. Like somewhere in outer Siberia.

Have a most awesome birthday, sister! :happybanana: :happybanana: :happybanana: :happybanana:

congratulations, Rayzor! We'll keep our fingers crossed it works out. Bluesy, good thing I'm in San Diego this week... where do I report?

I liked "Baby Baby" by Amy Grant and "Lullabye" by the Dixie Chicks.

This was a random thing I came across. Wonder What Will Smith thought of this... Mistaken Lyrics to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" theme song places local schools on lockdown AMBRIDGE, Pa. — Schools across Beaver County were placed on lockdown Thursday after one person misheard a student's voicemail. Police said a worker calling to confirm a doctor's appointment with an Ambridge High School student heard the theme song to the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" when she attempted to call. The worker said she called police when she misheard the lyrics -- which she claimed said "shooting people outside of school." The actual lyrics to the song say "shooting some b-ball outside of school." The call to 911 forced the entire district into lockdown for about 30 minutes and police said they detained the 19-year-old student for three hours while searching his locker, before determining that it was all one big misunderstanding. "He was afraid and embarrassed. Obviously staff at the doctor's office was embarrassed about the whole thing too," said Ambridge police Officer Mike Natale.

Bye Bye ~ Jo Dee Messina Bye Bye Bye ~ *NSYNC Tighter, Tighter ~ Alive 'n Kickin' Teacher, Teacher ~ 38 Special

Crazy good tunes, yo. 1. Bleeding Love ~ Leona Lewis 2. If I Die Young ~ The Band Perry 3. Home ~ Phillip Phillips 4. Photograph ~ Nickelback 5. The Time of My Life ~ David Cook 6. Before He Cheats ~ Carrie Underwood 7. Good Life ~ OneRepublic 8. Animal ~ Neon Trees 9. Breakeven ~ The Script 10. Gives You Hell ~ All American Rejects I just realized there are 3 Idol winners in my top picks for your Top Ten, even though I don't watch the show.

This was a list I could sink my teeth into. So so so many memories in these songs for me. 1. Into the Groove ~ Madonna 2. Holding Out for a Hero ~ Bonnie Tyler 3. Old Time Rock & Roll ~ Bob Seger 4. I Can Dream About You ~ Dan Hartman 5. Crazy For You ~ Madonna 6. Shakedown ~ Bob Seger 7. It's In the Way That You Use It ~ Eric Clapton 8. The Power of Love ~ Huey Lewis 9. Almost Paradise ~ Ann Wilson and Mike Reno 10. Tender Years ~ John Cafferty and Beaver Brown

I get that part, but Kenne said that if there weren't already so many in the archives, that Roger would have made it in. But if people vote how they vote, and the top ten is the top ten, and Roger's not in it, then how do the archives affect that? How would Roger have made the list if there hadn't been so many already in the archive? I'm lost.

not that it matters, but I'm lost on how the archives affect how people vote...?

I'll be voting hopefully tonight or tomorrow latest... don't let it end yet!

Woohoo! I love this final 10! It could better only if... (I'm guessing you all know the answer to that one!) Thanks for participating, everyone. It was good to feel the love, and know that you all took time to listen to the tunes that formed me.

working from home certainly does have its perks, and its drawbacks, as well. Not spending money on gas ~ Perk! Because you never go anywhere ~ drawback Not having to deal with idiots in person ~ Perk! Never having any interaction with another live human being in person ~ drawback Being able to work from wherever you are ~ Perk! Dragging work with you on vacation because you are buried, and you can work from wherever you are ~ drawback I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

You have to vote, Carole! You've seen Roger live! (And I know this, because you were with me) I love that Roger's getting so much love, though. :happybanana: :happybanana: :rock:

I love you.

Rocky, Lucky, RonJon, Rayzor, you guys are missing out on some quality tunes here, people!!

I knew we had a Songplace for this, and I thought you had written it, Rocky! But alas, the writer just has a style close to yours. King of Road on Songplaces

I haven't seen it. It's on my Netflix queue.

he commits suicide?
