Do you think dog could be jealous due to singleness? Cats friends yet dog's got nobody. Did you think to adopt friend?

Would you say cats that live/lived with you clingy/ mommy's boy/girl or it's independent cats? You grew each to be with less attachment to you?

If you been demanded to choose - even if toughie - who'd you be the favoritest/ dearest cat?

OK, let's keep this thread at the top. There's been many rainbow bridge news in FB cat pages in past 2 weeks. Favorite Rocky Road's ill now, wish he's healthy soon (thankfully, it isn't serious,going by his mother Dawn's FB.

Sad news. Will's diagnosis proven by vets & can't be stabilized. Beautiful tribute by beautiful human being, read it (should be public page): https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1010143812670235&id=250850065266284

Claire's next tribute to Will when he'd been put to sleep due to bad welfare, with Will's pics, read it people: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1010996159251667&id=250850065266284

Is the other cat elderly too? Or she's young Nola? They should be segregated, 16,5 y.o. cat may be with catchy illness.
Thanks to agree to donate. Appreciated.

What can you say about 2  ?-s to discuss, in previous "paging Nola" reply dating November 10? I shared Rocky's pic w/ Santa. When you got full cat house, question is about time when you lived with everybody, did or didn't you?

Hey Nola since you're back - Did you see yet the film you stated you'll see? I recommended, rmbr? "The Uncanny".

Check cute pic with Rocky. Did you do it to you' cats? Did Santa give them wished gifts down chimney?

Paging Nola.

Carpenters' greatest hits.

Don't forget to donate, Nola. They will start buying items in mid-December.

NB: Hello, cat people.

Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child "Relic". Went thru myriad book titles with annotations to get to at least 5% interesting subject. "Relic" about museum's new figurine discovered by paleo-expedition group. It's sci-fi - being sci-fi enthusiast, choose it to read. Quit seeking, thanks to it.

It's general "speak up" thread, would like that people who post at Hofmann (spelling?) pasted the lengthy HELP Cats - with facebook links - to that place. Smb. stated it's popular, many people will get to see, help cats (few dogs) with paypal donations. Poor creatures should get Christmas/New Year gifts. They wait people's help! Soon'll be mid-December, when donations will be collected to buy medicine, diapers, food supplies, toys (sweeties lack toys that they must share 3-5 toys between 150+ pets ), many-many useful things. Hurry, people! Thanks in advance.

Update: Jk refused very easy fast to do request with regard to good cause. Anybody else? It would be very kind if you passed HELP Cats information http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,17750.msg655453.html#msg655453 to the Hoffmann board! Thanks in advance.

Hey folks,

Check this 2010 Q&A vid, thankfully youtube got it, could finally see what the others seen thru nadir instagram (bleh), Brian's Marie Calender bit at 5:28: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o-u5UqsHsMo

Fave reply - "Cali Girls"/ Bach.

- "OMG you don't play Christmas songs right now do you? It's too early for that!!!"
I pity people listening to music by seasons.

- "If it bore the name of B. Wilson instead of B. Johnston, people would call it masterpiece"
Would they?

- youtube comments to What's My Line eps: "Ernie Kovacs is a genius!! His humor is ahead of its times!!".
Genius = being ahead of time.
Thankfully MANY, still, agree with me that Ernie's real pain in the neck. Hated him as panelist, with equally unfunny boringly rebellious (at his senior age!) Groucho Marx (who didn't play by game rules. Rules in game = VERY IMPORTANT, it annoys to no end when people start breaking them to instead be like clowns saying humorless "jokes". People laughing at Groucho make ZERO sense. Quit laughing), Henry Morgan (tactless ill-bred guy who bizarrely got beef with Bennett Cerf, Random House publisher, the guy with the loveliest smile with tiny teeth, friendliest politest panelist).

Well, nobody else will join? Welcome to the fun Christmas thread. . Poster names listed below.

(Edited but 200% true observation, folks. Definite food for thought...)

Gerry & The Pacemakers sing songs best: "Hello...", "How do you...", "Where Have You Been", many else. Gerry Marsden = national brand. Stellar singer.

^ Interesting discussion, ASL - picking Christmas individual instruments in different songs.

It's real goodie, isn't it? Best AR song. Yes, it's Christmasy - guitars right?

Everybody checking General Music - Nola, Rocker, SMiLE-addict, Ian - join this festive fun thread.

I'd like to praise juggler, the Smiley Smile fellow BBs fan, for stepping to the instagram thread & entirely transcribe it - with ease. Nobody did, esp. you'd think Amy B., thread creator would do it but instead, she merely states go to Brian's instagram when I believe I'd written in plain English that instagram generally is INACCESSIBLE thru mobile. Many thanks towards juggler - in times when everybody keeps silence, at least single human being actually is being friendly & thoughtful, generous in giving help to anybody like I who may get BLANK SPACE when checking instagram links (VEEEEEERY INconvenient site, yet it's POPULAR!! Stupidity!).

It's good to read what people did hear/see, i.e. catch up with everybody. Since I'm fan, I must know what the other fans know. Duh. In short - thank you again!

Here it's, Billy: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,9198.0.html

Here's a synopsis/transcript for those unable to view...

Brian Wilson (present day or thereabouts) sitting on a sofa talking on a corded, landline phone.  Only Brian's half of the telephone conversation is audible.

BRIAN: "Uh, yeah, we do go to Marie Callender's once...
 about once every two years actually.  
Not very often, but it's a great place for really good pies.
[other people chortling/snickering off camera]  
If you like pie, they've got really good pies.
[more chortling/snickering off camera]
Matter of fact you ought to go there right now."


It's classic Brian Wilson in smart-alecky, put-on mode.  Nice to see!

Thank you, juggler! Really nice of you to write the video down,with details in brackets to boot - cool help (BBs fans should be helpful to the other BBs fans - easily )! & thanks to the local context addition to Amy B.'s.

Brianisms thread anybody?

ANY instagram - Brian's, smb. else's - is blank space. I.e. instagram *generally*.
See, it's the main reason I HATE instagram. Site that isn't available to EVERYbody, REAL pain in the neck = big hate.

Can it be seen thru the other - pirate? - site? Thanks.
Or, can you capture screen with it?

Can you paste instagram here? It ain't available - blank space - via mobile used.
Thanks.

NB: zero idea who's "Marie Calender".

Thank you. Did like the idea to bring story info to songs. Wish everybody just didn't reply with song but little backgrd to it - maybe funny, maybe educational.
This song by Desmond Dekker & The Aces, fave ska band/ artist, been discovered in mid-Dec. 2010, pretty festive time (to me as well really happy time due to fresh hearing 60s songs by various 60s artists. Didn't hear 60s music b4, didn't care towards ancient music generally, it didn't exist. Freshness dutifully disappeared - been 9 yrs since then duh - it's kinda missed today). Thus, the song really brings Christmas images, December-January timeframe. It's jolly summer song really (it's ska hey). I found Pitchfork site that lists 200 best 60s songs (& the other decade lists). I typed "list 60s songs" & been especially intrigued by google preview to Pitchfork (it's great site with very interesting eclectic choices in lists, I did catch it). Looking thru list, I see this song, like the title, the band name & went to the download music site - luckily, there's been collection shared with Pitchfork 200 60s songs! Wow right? When I d/l'ed & played the song, really immediately liked it & like it to date.

Vinyls is technically accurate - add the "s" to it = vinyls. Easy.

Cool dialogs going.

Anybody else? Created this thread, it being Christmas season now. Few days back people celebrated Thanksgiving during which people do the same things as in Christmas (face it, there isn't really difference). Thus, it'd be nice to see the others join to tell which songs did they hear that musically or by association, sth.else, seem like Christmas song. Welcome to Christmas thread!

Stephen King short tale collection. 0/10: free, frequent expletive use. Due to it, lengthy detailed describing things (zzzz, anybody?), it's difficult to see interesting aspects that can be in book.

Hey everybody (aka Hi all)

Let's list songs that musically you think they're Christmasy but lyrically ANYthing but. Here's to these ears:

Red Roses
I Get Little Sentimental (didn't find Dana's rendition, linking New Seekers instead even if it ain't as Christmasy)
Creedence "Cotton Fields"
High
Taco's elegant cover "Cheek To Cheek", Christmasy starts at 0:38

Few songs listed are Christmasy due as well to fact they'd been discovered around mid-end of December in 2005-6.

You, people?

HELP cats (including few dogs), don't pass by living breathing creatures suffering freeze, food/ medical supplies deficit (many need diapers, serious treatment, especially seniors & pets with various disabilities). People like to be kind in the Internet...yet they refuse to help animals. Each little bit people pay MATTERS. Payment accepted till mid-December (it may-mayn't be delayed till new year but they planned it to be New Year gift to each pet).
Many posters with pets here - i.e. sympathetic towards pets. It would be really decent if/ when they donated. Thank you.
