This is the last band I got excited about 'discovering'.
I played this album on my iPod for months.
But I only heard it by accident. Radio is all the same songs over and over, Amazon bought the music service I subscribed to, I don't know how to use Youtube the way you do.
If it weren't for you I wouldn't hear new music at all.

It's 3:00 a.m. Saturday. Slept well for a few hours, woke early as I seem to do these days.
Photo class with Peter was O.K. 'Nother one today, then for 2 more Saturdays.
Don't know why I'm killing myself trying to learn how to use this stupid digital camera. They still make slide film and I've got a scanner. Technology's alright - in doses. Sometimes I feel used by it, spindled, folded, mutilated. Kind of the way I feel about Peter.

I remember sitting at my gran's (maternal great gma) knees and listening to her sing "Church Music" while she crushed herbs and oils to make "potions" for our neighbors. My family were called Mountain Witches or Healers. The women of my mother's people were also the midwives and/or veterinarians of our part of the Mountains. I have so many memories of being surrounded by animals of all kinds and people of all ages. I am Indian and Irish on that side. Indian (different tribe) and Scottish on my daddy's side. They too were Healers and Shaman. I come from a rich and wonderful background and can even recall times when I would remember and ingredient for a poltice or ungent to help someone. Used to make me so proud to be able to add my knowledge to the collective. I still remember my gran telling me what a wonderful witch I would be one day, how all that I learned here and with daddy's kin would make me the best healer of our clan. I like to believe that I am doing all that I can with what they taught me to help others....
My dvds/cds/books have to be grouped alphabetical by theme (and size) 
My spices are lined up by size
My dogs' collars and tags have to compliment each other
If I "dress" my dogs (I have two Poms) their collars and clothes have to work together and they have to compliment each other as well
I tend to do the same things the same way every time
The minute the clothes are done drying I take out fold/hang and put away
If I am home alone I lock the door
Wow... I never realized until I thought about it lol

When one of my pets comes for a cuddle...
Watching my nieces/nephews playing...
Completing a task that I set for myself...
Certain songs...
Reading the Bible...
Singing and/or dancing...
Cheering up one of my soldier pen pals...
(Seeing, reading or hearing about) a good deed done to remind me that good still exists in the world...

Daisy let me say first off that your name is my favorite flower....
Next I feel you asked a two part question...
What is your THING and what do you want your THING to be? (if not one and the same I assume)
My THING is background noise... There must be some when the Muse strikes me...Usually music but the TV or the washer or dryer works as well...
What I would like my THING to be... Wearing my mama's cross (God rest her soul) As I wear it all the time I would be prolific daily!

In 2007, 2,000 people who took part in the poll online at worldbookday.com nominated their [url=]top 10 titles[/url] that they could not live without. The result is a compilation of the top 100 books. Agree or Disagree, Which books have you read or plan to read?
1. Put an (x) after those you have read.
2. Put (#) those you plan on reading.
3. Put (~) next to those you didn't finish reading for whatever reason.
PUNZ added a number too...
4. Added an (?) for never heard of it
