Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
It was awful to hear what happened in your area. It’s truly heartbreaking and devastating. I’m so very sorry. You are in my heart, thoughts and prayers.
It absolutely has an impact on everyone. It’s horrible. I am praying for all of you.
Why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
Why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't gonna fly
No place big enough for
holding
All the tears you're gonna cry
Cause your mama's name
was lonely
And your daddy's name
was pain
And they call you
little sorrow
Cause you'll never love
again
So why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
Why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't got no one to
hold you
You ain't got no one to
care
If you'd only understand
dear
Nobody wants you
anywhere
So why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
So why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't got no one to
hold you
You ain't got on one to
care
So, Why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
---Nina Simone
You have great taste in music. Nina was awesome. Incredibly talented, very troubled personal life. Hey, great artists draw from their pain to express their music. Those are the real musicians verses pop artists.
Yes, we are. It’s awful.
I love Nina's music. It seems she wrote a song for every feeling and for every situation. I listen to her when I feel blue and some how she makes everything alright again!🎼🎶
Do you like Katie Webster on piano? She’s a powerful vocalist as well. One of my favorites. Love her! Or Ruth Brown? Another great one to listen to sing.
When you get the chance look up ‘Try a little tenderness’ with Katie Webster. She does a great arrangement of that song. It’s on YouTube. I have so many cds. I love my new car but the new cars don’t have CD players.
I have never heard of Katie Webster, but I will look her up.
What do you mean your new car doesn't have a cd player? What kind of car do you have and yr? All new cars come with a cd player...I thought!!!😱
I bought my car brand new. No CD player. I wanted a small car. So I bought a Hyundai Elantra. I got it last year in 2019.
I love my car but it doesn’t have a CD player. It has safety features, new stuff but no CD player.
When the kids were young, I did the minivan thing. I went back to driving a car. It’s just my husband and I at home now. I didn’t want a big car anymore. The Elantra feels roomy inside though. I love it too.
Really!? I thought all new cars had CD players...my bad!! It must be a basic model!!😵 That just sucks!!
Yes, it’s all modern digital so I have lots of cds that I cannot use in my car. I need to ask my daughter how to transfer.
Shell,
I don’t have the bottom of the line basic car. It’s the upgraded model. It’s like cwille says, it’s modernized for new technology.
I wanted to downsize with my car. I want to downsize my home too but having a hard time getting my hubby to move into a small home.
My daughters are always telling me that I am out of the loop because I don’t know all of the hi tech stuff which is embarrassing because my husband, their dad is a tech guy. I am the only one not up to date, haha
I use the CD player to listen to audiobooks while driving. How do you do that in a new car without a CD player?
That is what I have to get either my hubby or daughters to do for me. I don’t know how to do it. There is a way to transfer it.
Yes, I have Bluetooth. I do miss my CD player. I have a few radio stations that I listen to. My daughters do what you do when they ride in my car. I love the thing that goes beep, beep, beep if a car is behind my car. LOL
Polar,
We have a local station that reads all the best sellers, classics, fiction, non fiction, medical journals, major newspapers and magazines to the blind. It’s a nonprofit public station. It’s wonderful!
As many sighted people listen to it as blind people. They read unabridged books and once in awhile the author will show up to read the book. What a treat!
I didn't mean that you had the bottom basic car. Sorry! I did read that the 2019 Hyundai Elantra does not offer CD player as a option, but they did offer it on the 2018 models. That sucks!
I would think you could download your CDs into the Cloud so that you could bring them down through your car radio, but not really sure.
I so did not mean to offend you! Sorry, do you forgive me NHWM?😌
