btw, mr. chicken, came across a listing where it was specifically stated that they requested the new property owners to take on the chickens

Hey, wheres Ricky Macveety? Or Dixie Chick?

Anyone know?

dreams · 12-16-2012, 10:26 PM

DixieGal still pops in and out and her last post was here on the 12th. RickyMaveety hasn't been around since 2011 as life got busier and busier. Her last post was here.

The opening lines of that one always drive me a bit crazy.

Quote:

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.,
But do you recall?
The most famous reindeer of all?

Well, duh! If he's the most famous, why is the singer asking if we remember him, especially if it's obvious from the lyrics that we have no difficulty remembering other less-famous reindeer? If the listeners can recall Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen; then surely they can recall the one whose fame exceeds all the ones mentioned.

This song makes no sense.

You expected sense in a song about a fat guy who flies through the air on a sleigh pulled by a team of reindeer and that will be grounded by fog unless he finds a reindeer with a glowing nose?

Can I please have some cheese with my whine that here I sit with smoke getting out of my ears planning the last days, what still to buy food wise, what to defreeze when and what to cook and whatever is left to clean
But: tree is decorated, cards sent, presents wrapped, tablecloths ironed, fresh bed sheets at the ready etc etc and still it seems nothing is moving

For me here it's December 24 the big day, shopping has to be finished and me frantically coordinating cooking for the special dinner...
(my first MR countdown!)

Welcome to our world, Chi Cygni.

You've gotten more done than I could even attempt.

You have the hard stuff done.....and think of this......they won't remember all the work you went to......they'll remember the good conversation, the hugs, the laughter.......so try to relax and just enjoy your company......
