“If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I've grown accustomed to receiving
Newsletter theme songs from my
Magic Shower and Haunted Radio, but this is the first time
a kitty cat ever supplied me with one. Strangely, he sounded just like
Doris Day. I dunno. I mean, I know he's an awesome kitty cat, but I
can't figure out how he did that. Maybe he's a ventriloquist.....
I'm throwing in a bonus clip for Ruth Etting, just because it was her song originally.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAMY5HnL4qM - Love Me or Leave Me - Doris Day, 1955
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB9VVTMiX1k - Love Me or Leave Me - Ruth Etting, 1928
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Me_or_Leave_Me_%28song%29:
"Love Me or Leave Me" is a
U.S.
popular song from
the 1920s. The music was written by Walter Donaldson and the lyrics by Gus Kahn. The song was introduced in the Broadway play, Whoopee!, which opened in December 1928[1]. Ruth Etting's performance of the song was so popular that she was also given the song to sing in the play Simple Simon, which opened in February 1930[1]. The original version of the song, the biggest-selling at the time, was recorded by Ruth Etting on December 17, 1928. It was issued by Columbia Records as catalog number 1680-D[1], with the flip side "I'm Bringing a Red, Red Rose," another Donaldson/Kahn composition[2]. The song reached #2 on the charts in 1929... As the song was considered to be one of Etting's biggest hits, its title was chosen for the 1955 biographical movie about her life, in which Doris Day played Etting. Day's recording of the song, from the soundtrack, became a major hit for her... |

YESTERDAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:

Tuesday, April 4, 1865 DAVIS DANGLES DANVILLE DELUSIONS Abraham Lincoln walked the streets of Richmond, mobbed by grateful former slaves, and toured the home of Jefferson Davis, which Davis had vacated two days before when his army could no longer defend his nation’s capital. Davis wrote his remaining citizens that, depressing as the loss of Richmond was, they should not give up “despite reverses, no matter how calamitous.” Given the circumstances it seems unlikely that too many people heard this, and less likely that anyone who did took it seriously. |
THIS DAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0405.htm - INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Saturday, April 5, 1862 MAGRUDER MARCHES, MAKES MCCLELLAN MAD Yorktown, Va., was the venue for fun on the Peninsula today. Gen. John Magruder, CSA, was defending with inadequate numbers. He faced Gen. George McClellan, USA, who had twice as many men. Magruder’s solution was to march his troops around in a large circle, making it appear to McClellan’s scouts that huge numbers of reinforcements were arriving. McClellan became nervous and dug in for siege instead of attacking. The real reinforcements, under J.E. Johnston, were on the way. |

THIS IS THE BEST EMAIL OF THE DAY!!!!
As I came out of the
supermarket that sunny day, pushing my cart of groceries towards my car,
I saw an old man with the hood of his car up and a lady sitting inside
the car, with the door open. |

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 04/04/11 - "A great exercise for a double chin and
more":
Jokes A professor was giving a big test one day to his students. He handed out all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait. Once the test was over, the students all handed the tests back in. The professor noticed that one of the students had attached a $100 bill to his test with a note saying, "A dollar per point." The next class the professor handed the tests back out. This student got back his test and $56 change. ^^^^ Q: Where does virgin wool come from? A: Ugly sheep! Q: How are stupid dogs and dumb doctors alike? A: Neither one can heel! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A GREAT EXERCISE FOR UNDER CHIN SLUNG (I have been doing this for a week and can already see a difference. ) Place your thumb pads, one in front of the other, resting under the chin, fingers resting against the jawbone. As you press the tongue against the roof of the mouth, press and slide your thumbs, alternately, from front (directly under the chin) to back (to where the under chin meets the neck), making a rhythm of one thumb slide for every tongue press. * Repeat 40 times Feel the muscle work as you slide your thumbs against the underneath part of your chin. Try this exercise twice a day for two weeks and you'll start to see the double chin area firming up. Carolyn Cleaves is the owner/founder of Carolyn's Facial Fitness. She offers workshops, Self-learning Take-home Kits and advice.

Visit their website at: http://www.voiceofchoices.org/ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ From Bizarre News --- Georgia house infested with 20,000 bats --- TIFTON, Ga. - An empty home in Georgia is infested with as many as 20,000 bats and officials say they've declared it unfit for human habitation until the bats are cleared. "The interior and exterior
walls are just full of guano," Melissa Skidmore of Tru Tech, an animal
removal service, said of the "Some of it is old and has
turned to dust and it is just a cocktail of pathogens. People going in
will need proper equipment to cover The infestation of Mexican free-tailed bats was one of the worse she had ever seen, she said. A local code enforcement officer said he had no choice but to post the declaration when he saw several live bats upstairs and spotted several dead bats on the bottom floor of the house. Local real estate agent Julie Smith said the house is in foreclosure with an agency that has a buyer interested in purchasing the house. "The goal is for everyone
to work together so that a family can live here safely," Smith said.
Thanks, Shari!

Do You Care or Curse?
By Anita Jefferson |
FINALLY:
From http://www.ajokeaday.com:
There once was a "smart guy," a "not that smart guy," and an all
round "not smart at all guy." They were going to cross the Sahara
Desert.
The "smart guy" says, "meet here in an hour with something useful to cross the desert with!" Later on an hour passes. The "smart guy" says, "I brought some ice packs to keep our heads cool." The "not so smart guy" says, "I brought a pail of water to keep us hydrated." The "not smart at all guy" says, "I brought a car door so I can roll the window down when it gets hot!" |

Love Me or Leave Me (from
Whoopee!,
1928)
Words by
Walter Donaldson (15
Feb 1893 - 15 July 1947)
Music by
Gus Kahn
(06 Nov 1886 – 08 Oct 1941)
This affair is killin' me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now I've got to know
Whether you want me to stay or to go
Love me or leave me
Or let me be lonely
You won't believe me, I love you only
I'd rather be lonely
Then happy with someone else
You might find the night time
The right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
For just reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin'
With somebody else
There'll be no one
Unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love
But I don't want to borrow
To have it today to give it back tomorrow
For your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else
