Alphabetical Conversation

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Egads, don’t bring music into the picture, or I’ll be singing all day "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Fearfully, I’ve been considering singing a sample of something and sending it to ruwth or dogpack saving 4premium+ to share with their premium + membership. Do I dare?"

JL Richter says "Forgive me, oh favorite one-liners for my italics mishaps! I'm glad it was resolved!"

JL Richter says "Give it a go! What's the worse that can happen?"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Hello, friend! We now have 2 letter F entries… no matter Good advice… the hard part is choosing which song "

Dad says ""Islands in the Stream" is a good suggestion. So is "Israelites.". "In Search of the Lost Chord" is a really great album."

JL Richter says "Joan Jett is my go-to; even 'Cherry Bomb' from her Runaway days. 'Love Shack' by the B52's is also a fun one"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Kidding, right? I mean, which song that I know and am capable of singing Love Shack sends me running the other way "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Lo and behold, since you mentioned "cherry bomb," now I've got a line in my head from someone else entirely..."

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Music alert: "hey Mr. Cage Man, let me get a fresh breath/ cherry bomb, headstrong, I could fake my own death..." "

Dad says "Nope, not familiar with that one. I'm thinking about John Mellencamp's song "Cherry Bomb.". Knew a woman in college who was the daughter of a former governor of Indiana who knew John Mellencamp's family.."

AbbyAG says ""Oh, wow - She must have had plenty of stories to tell, but if her father were the former Governor of Indiana, that would undoubtedly make sense.""

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Polaroid, by (credits for my previous entry)"

Dad says "Quite likely I've never heard it. On the other hand, I might have heard it and just don't remember."

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Remembering all the things that have to be done at the end of the month be like "

Revi Tond says "So much work, is it?"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "To do lists stretch for miles... And at the beginning of the month, I get the nervous feeling of wanting to get everything done within the first week or else I panic "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Usually, I do get everything done that I wanted/needed to do, in spite of myself "

Dad says "Very often, I begin the month with bright dreams of getting everything in order, carefully completing one task, then going on to the next, conscientiously and scrupulously finishing each of my assignments. I sit quietly waiting for the feeling to pass."

JL Richter says "Whereas I take one day to get everything done that I mean to get done, and then have the whole month to play and do the things I like."

Dad says "Xylophone playing was NOT on my list of things to do this month. And I haven't! Mission accomplished!"

AbbyAG says ""Yikes - It's halfway through the month, and I'm nowhere near done!” "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Zero attempts at accomplishment means zero failure, right?"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "A perfect score, therefore!"

AbbyAG says ""Boom - Nothin' but net! "

Dad says "Could it be that Larry the Bird is playing basketball? What type of bird is Larry the Bird?"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Dodo? Likely not... I had no idea there's a dodo emoji on Gboard 🦤 "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Everyone, feel free to vote in my first poll "Raggedy Ann & Andy MB Question" "

AbbyAG says "Fun poll, Amethyst Angel - I haven't seen these two in years! "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Greatly appreciated! My exclusive MB is being made as we speak. I'll have to throw a party when it's ready "

Dad says "Gonna get right on it. Oh, wait! I already voted! Yay Dad!"

AbbyAG says "Hip, hip, hooray - A party - I'll bring the pasta salad! "

Dad says "I'll bring the hamburgers, hot dogs and brats! You do have a grill, right? Maybe afterwards we can do a road trip! Where should we go?"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Jefferson City, TN is affectionately called Jeff City for short... These days, Jeff always makes me think of our esteemed Senior Moderator "

Dad says "Kokomo would be nice. Then maybe Ketchikan. Kansas City is in the way. Any other suggestions? "

AbbyAG says "Kissimee, perhaps? "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Lynchburg, TN is known for the distillery, which coats the town with black gunk. Trust me, I’ve seen it "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Maybe an article would be useful… https://www.foodandwine.com/whiskey-fungus-tennessee-7182054"

Dad says "Nashville TN would be a nice place to visit. Nashville, IN, is gorgeous, but it's best in the fall, so maybe we should wait until then. New Orleans is an excellent suggestion. Nairobi Kenya, no interest here!"

AbbyAG says "How about Oregon?"

Dad says "OK, AbbyAG, I think it's time for me to point out the rules for this I/O. Reach post is supposed to begin with the next letter of the alphabet. Please see the example at the top of the I/O. For example, your post could have read, "OKo, how 'bour Oregon""

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Precisely. I didn’t want to be the one to say anything, but since you’re the Dad "

Dad says "Quite right, Amethyst Angel! I hope AbbyAG doesn't take offense to my hopefully gentle correction. After all, she's one of the drivers on the road trip to Quincy, IL! Where else shall we go?"

AbbyAG says "Rhode Island, maybe? "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Sounds good to me, hon! Providence is known as an artsy town. Jewelry used to be designed there "

Dad says "Then, we can go to the Isle of Rhodes. Oo! All of the Greek Isles! And maybe a side trip to the South Sea Islands. I hear the Tahitian babes have the biggest ... uh, coconuts. "

Just a Penguin says "Unfortunately, I'm pretty broke. Can I still join? Please?"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Voila! Our hostess is back Join the fun, it’s all on me… (wait, what )"

JL Richter says "Wichita was nice when I was living there; Washington DC, too. Where would I go now, if I had the choice? Anywhere but here! Even hell would be a vacation from Southern California."

Just a Penguin says "Xanadu! Wait, is that a real place? Excuse me while I ask Google... Aha! It's the archaeoogical site of Kublai Khan's summer capital in Inner Mongolia. Is that a nice place to visit?"

Dad says "Yes, I think Xansdu would be a wonderful place to visit. Although I think it would probably be be better roughly 800 years ago, when Kubla was there. D'ya think he had air conditioning?"

Just a Penguin says "Zoinks! I'm pretty sure there was no air conditioning, but then, I don't have a time machine."

Dad says "A time machine would be helpful, but alas, we don't have one. Therefore, maybe we should plan our road trip for Ann Arbor, Annapolis, Atlanta, Arkadelphia, and Memphis instead."

Just a Penguin says "But, I've been to Memphis. I didn't really find it all that exciting. How about Nashville instead?"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Coincidence… my newly completed "Reflections"  is loosely set in Tennessee."

Just a Penguin says "Do you belief in coincidence? Or are we all part of some cosmic plot?"

Just a Penguin says "((OT: BELIEVE...not belief))"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Everything happens for a reason... I'm big on worldview, from an evangelical upbringing. So yeah, cosmic plot with a happy ending "

Dad says "Follows that if everything happens for a reason, then there must be a reason I started this sentence. Too bad I don't know the reason!"

Just a Penguin says "Gods or Goddesses would probably not actually care about us insignificant specks in the grand scheme of things, in my humble opinion."

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Hearty agreement might be given by some of the US founding fathers... That's the definition of Deism, I believe."

Just a Penguin says "I strongly suspect that you could be right. Or wrong. Or both. You know, not knowing is okay too."

AbbyAG says ""Just a question for the ages, I guess.""

Dad says "Knowing that I do hold strong Christian beliefs, it should come as no surprise to you that I respectfully disagree with you. I believe that God does care about us. Fear not, I will not try to convert you unless you ask me to describe or defend my beliefs"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Lo, I feel the most attracted to the Christian perspective… though I like some things about Islamic morality which Christians seem a little flighty about."

John Johnny Johnson says "My, this has gone on a while!"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Open to all, whether you like it or not "

John Johnny Johnson says "Perhaps I needn't continue, then?"

Dad says "Quit if you want. No one will think less of you. But, on the other hand, this is a quite delightful little I/O and you would definitely miss some of the exciting exchanges we engage in. Come back any time, and I'll greet you with a hand buzzer!"

John Johnny Johnson says "Really want to go, but don't want hand buzzer. Decisions, decisions."

Dad says "Some people like band buzzers. Personally, I prefer to be the one applying the hand buzzer, but to each his own!"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Truth be told, I think they’re rather childish "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Unless possibly there’s some useful purpose to them? Doubt it…here’s the wiki for clarification https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_buzzer"

Dad says "Vicarious thrills when someone gets the bejeebers shocked out of them? Is that a useful purpose? Or would that make me a bad person? I have the feeling that someone would say there are other reasons that show I'm a bad person."

Magnanimous says "What if it gave someone a heart attack?"

Dad says "X-rays could prove that the shock had nothing to do with the heart attack. On the other hand, I saw a study that proved that Shakespeare wrote the Bible. "

AbbyAG says "Yesterday, I heard there was quite the run on x-rays up at the medical center - lots of broken bones. "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Zach used to be a reviewer and poet around here... He seems to be gone."

Dad says "Apparently, Penny seems to be gone, too! "

Dad says "(Correction). Apparently, Pengy seems to be gone, too. "

AbbyAG says "Be calm - I'm sure they'll return if we're patient."

Dad says "Can we count on it? I know that Pengy likes to disappear for months at a time, and then blame circumstances beyond her control. She is usually right, it is beyond her control. We are always happy to see her return, and saddened by her departures."

Rowan Oakenscale says "Don't worry, if they are known to return, then don't expect it. Then, you will be happier when they do return."

Rowan Oakenscale says "Everyone gone? I hope people come back soon!"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Forsooth, I fear I've lost interest... The past few months have been wild."

Rowan Oakenscale says "Goodness! I hope not wild in a bad way!"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Hardly more than usual, I suppose... Drama seems to erupt in August, perhaps my own cause or perhaps the summer heat."

Dad says "Increasing demands on my time seems to be coming to an end. I should be good to go in about 30 years. You do, of course, realize that I am 65, right?"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Just like to wish you a happy lifetime, good sir "

Dad says "Kind of you to say that. I truly appreciate your sentiments."

Uisgeachan says ""Love you, Dad!""

Dad says "My, my Uisgeachan! This is totally unexpected! You, of course, realize that I am married to Mom, right?"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Newbie, presumably... I suppose they meant in a childlike way "

Rowan Oakenscale says "Oh boy, I remember when I was a newbie!"

Dad says "P'raps we should change the subject. I currently have my Spotufy going. Eric Clapton is singing "After Midnight.". I have more than 4,000 songs on my list. Do you think that is overkill?"

Rowan Oakenscale says "Quite! I only have about 15 songs!"

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Really, I'm wondering the same. I have 515 on mine..."

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Steven from down under has many thousands, stored on hard drives.."

Rowan Oakenscale says "Tranquil songs and hard rock is what comprises most of my list! I feel like the only person with a reasonable amount of songs! Or am I the one with an UNreasonable amount? "

Amethyst Angel HBD🩵WdC🎂 says "Unreasonable is purely subjective, in my experience "
