From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linger_%28song%29:
"Linger" is a song composed by
Irish
musicians
Dolores O'Riordan and
Noel Hogan of the
rock band
The Cranberries, released in 1993. The song, which has an acoustic
arrangement featuring a string section, became the band's first major
hit, peaking at #3 in the
Republic of Ireland, #8[1]

- 01/09/13 - "My friend's Error":
CBD,
In the
1/3/13 newsletter
my friend,
![]() ![]()
Of course, he is absolutely right
about our quickly approaching 50-year reunion--the years are passing
by at a rate I never imagined they could and there is no time to
waste. I am proud to call Joe my friend and like him, I too would
like to see others from the days of our youth at NNHS. I'm equally
as proud to have Joe call me friend!
All of us from '65 are now old
enough to truly understand the value of friendship--it is a
most precious asset. We must take the opportunity of a 50-year
reunion to let others know that those friendships of so many years
ago--remain--they have withstood the test of time and beg to be
remembered.
TC!
AMEN!
Thanks, Wayne Honey - and Joe Sweetie!

From the
Incomparable
Charis Bean Duke
(Governor Thomas Johnson HS, MD - '85) of NC - 01/09/12, 9:50 AM - "good morning!":
Hi Carol,
Sorry you weren't feeling well yesterday and I hope today
finds you much better.
I have a new blog post, just wanted to let you know.
http://lasttangowithcharis.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-nutcracker-trap.html
Have a nice day.
Charis
Thank you so much, dear
Charis!
I'm feeling a bit better - as long as I totally behave myself (What are the
chances there??)
Your blog is delightful as always - particularly so to me as
my daddy, the late
Robert Buckley (John Marshall HS - '25)
(19 Oct 1907 - 25 Apr 1960)
was such a Tchaikovsky fan. I cannot believe I never heard that wonderfully
jazzy version Les Brown and his Band of Renown made of The Nutcracker before!
Thanks for that, too!

- 01/09/13 - "Hilarious Product Reviews on Amazon.com":
You think you've got
problems--click on "laugh" and read the nine product reviews. And
some of these folks were allowed to have children!!
R. Wayne Stokes--The first of
three!!
1. Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer saves marriage - "What can I say about the 571B Banana Slicer that hasn't already been said about the wheel, penicillin, or the iPhone? This is one of the greatest inventions of all time. My husband and I would argue constantly over who had to cut the day's banana slices. It's one of those chores NO ONE wants to do! You know, the old ‘I spent the entire day rearing OUR children, maybe YOU can pitch in a little and cut these bananas?’ These are the things that can destroy an entire relationship. It got to the point where our children could sense the tension. That's when I found the 571B Banana Slicer. Our marriage has never been healthier. Thanks 571B Banana Slicer" - Amazon.com user Mrs Toledo2. White Face
Paint brings joy - "My kids didn't want to clean and I needed a
quick solution. I bought this face paint and applied it exactly as
in the example photo on the package. Then I grabbed a pitchfork and
dashed into my kids' rooms yelling 'CLEAN THE HOUSE CLEAN THE HOUSE
CLEAN THE HOUSE!' It worked." - Amazon.com user Lisa Krause 4. BIC Cristal For Her Ball Pen is a favorite - "Finally! For years I've had to rely on pencils to write down recipes (the only thing a lady should be writing, ever). I had despaired of ever being able to write down said recipes in a permanent manner, though my men-folk assured me that I 'shouldn't worry yer pretty little head.' But, AT LAST! BIC, the great liberator, has released a womanly pen that my gentle baby hands can use without fear of unlady-like callouses and bruises. Thank you, BIC!” –Amazon.com user breemeup 5. Inflatable Unicorn Horn helps cats achieve their dreams - “My cat loves this. She has long dreamed of being a single-horned wonder of story and song, and with this product, her dream becomes reality. Now, whenever she runs across the room, rainbows shoot forth from behind her. And watching her catch a mouse, and eviscerating it in front of the family? Priceless. This may have been the best thing I've ever bought. You'd be wise not to share in the pure, unadulterated joy that is having a cat with a unicorn horn.” –Amazon.com user Adam Lynch 6. Philadelphia Mint Jefferson Nickel from 2003 is a handy purchase - “A nickel for $4.55 seems a bit excessive, don't you think? Pretty sure I can get this for something like 9100% less elsewhere. But I want to emphasize that this is a great product. I own several nickels myself, and find that they constantly come in handy.” – Amazon.com user Joshua D. Nathan 7. Canned Unicorn Meat isn't ethical - “Don't order this product if you have a conscience. The unicorns in the industrial unicorn farms live in appalling conditions, in many cases worse than those of the pegasus ranches. All that awaits these poor creatures is the rainbow factory. Be ethical and buy (kosher) dragon meat instead.” –Amazon.com user V. Zhironovsky 8. "How to Avoid Huge Ships" an inspirational read - “I bought How to Avoid Huge Ships as a companion to Captain Trimmer's other excellent titles: How to Avoid a Train, and How to Avoid the Empire State Building. These books are fast-paced, well written and the hard-won knowledge found in them is as inspirational as it is informational. After reading them I haven't been hit by anything bigger than a diesel bus. Thanks, captain!” –Amazon.com user CitizenFitz 9. UFO-02 Detector a scam - “I don't know if this is a scam or if mine was broken, but it doesn't work and I am still getting abducted by UFOs on a regular basis.” -Amazon.com user Cypus
