- NNHS Newsletter - I'm Sorry
“When you realize you've made a mistake, make amends immediately. |

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I was rather astonished that we'd not used this golden oldie from 1960 before! The song, though, seemed a natural to use today, seeing that I'm running sooo far behind:

BONUS #1 - http://carolynspreciousmemories.com/50s/imsorry.html - I'm Sorry - Brenda Lee
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEMjeYPfqSg - I'm Sorry - Brenda Lee - poor sound quality, but fun vintage video
BONUS #3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGLR25EJtfE&NR=1 - I'm Sorry - Brenda Lee - better audio, but with stills
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Sorry_%28Brenda_Lee_song%29:
"I'm Sorry" is a 1960 hit song for then-15-year-old American country pop singer Brenda Lee. It peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in July 1960. Allmusic guide wrote that it is the pop star's "definitive song", and one of the "finest teen pop songs of its era". It was written by Dub Albritton and Ronnie Self.[1] On the UK Singles Chart, the song peaked at number twelve.
According to the Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson, Brenda Lee recorded the song early in 1960 but her label, Decca Records, held it from release for several months out of concern that a 15-year-old girl was not mature enough to sing about unrequited love. When the song finally was released, it was considered to be the flip side of the more uptempo "That's All You Gotta Do." Although "That's All You Gotta Do" was a chart success in its own right, reaching number six on the Hot 100, it was "I'm Sorry" that became the smash hit and the standard.[2] On other charts, "I'm Sorry" peaked at number four on the R&B chart and "That's All You Gotta Do" peaked at number nineteen on the R&B charts.[3]
Although it was never released to country radio as a single, "I'm Sorry" would in time become accepted by country fans as a standard of the genre. The song — a fixture on many "country oldies" programs — was an early example of the then-new "Nashville Sound," a style which emphasized a stringed-instrumental sound and background vocals.[citation needed]
Ben Vaughn referenced it in his song "I'm Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee)".

The biggest concern when
buying non organic produce is how to remove the pesticides. While
organic fruit is preferred, not everyone can afford to purchase organic
fruit 100% of the time. With a few ordinary household ingredients,
consumers can effectively remove most of the pesticides and bacteria
from non organic produce. You will need; Vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar) Spray bottle Hydrogen Peroxide Scrub brush Plenty of cold water 1. Fill the spray bottle with a vinegar/water mixture. Add one part vinegar to 3 parts water. 2. Spray an ample amount of the vinegar water mixture on the fruit and vegetables to be cleaned. It's best to do this over a sink because it could get very messy. 3. Wash the fruit thoroughly in cold water to remove all of the vinegar and traces of bacteria and pesticides. Using the vinegar water solution alone is an effective way to remove the majority of the harmful pesticides and bacteria. However, it doesn't stop there. 4. Fill a large bowl with cold water and approximately a half cup of hydrogen peroxide. Place the newly washed fruit in the bowl and let it sit for a minute or two. 5. Scrub the fruit with the toothbrush. While the fruit is in the bowl, use the toothbrush to scrub the fruit. Be careful when brushing delicate fruit as you don't want to bruise it. Author--D. Dee
GOOD TO KNOW!
Thanks, Shari!

From http://www.SelfGrowth.com - 07/05/11 - "Perfectionism":
3 Simple
Steps to Calm Your Inner Perfectionist
By Abigail Steidley Just about once or
twice a day, my tendency toward perfectionism rears its head. It's a
trait I've had from birth, according to my mother. I've become
well-acquainted both with its usefulness and how it often gets in my
way. |
FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 07/11/11:
After a lady’s car had
leaked motor oil on her cement driveway, she bought a large bag of cat
litter to soak it up. It worked so well, that she went back to the store
to get another bag to finish the job. The clerk remembered her.
Looking thoughtfully at her purchase, he said, “Lady, if that were my cat, I’d put him outside!” |

I'm sorry, so sorry, that I was such a fool
I didn't know love could be so cruel, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
You tell me, mistakes, are part of being young
But that don't right the wrong that's been done
(I'm sorry) I’m sorry (so sorry) so sorry, please accept my apology
But love is blind, and I was too blind to see oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
You tell me, mistakes, are part of being young
But that don't right the wrong that's been done oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm sorry, so sorry, please accept my apology
But love was blind, and I was too blind to see... (Sorry)
