Question:

Hello friends – I did it. My b’day is Saturday. I was not looking forward to that. I was sitting awake sometimes at night, stewing in my minds, thinking of how I would do that day. The husb. "has other plans" that day. I would be alone w/my son – that is – w/my son, so that I would be w/him, so that isn’t alone, but it means that I cannot leave my son alone to go do something w/anyone if I had someone to do something with. I have to find a way to do something that includes the son and would be good for me. I figured it out. I did it. I decided to risk a telephone call and risk having it not work out. I called a friend I haven’t seen in a long time – but she is someone who has been a good friend to me, and someone who knows my stuff. I told her Saturday was my b’day and asked her if she would be able to get together – we talked about whether her son might come, but she thought not. And we figured out what to do so that it would work out that she and I could visit and my son would have something to do, too. And it solves the problem, too, of how to have it be a b’day for my son, because it hurts him that his fthr isn’t going to be here for a b’day – that makes it too clear to him that his prnts are not actually in touch w/each other in any sense except residing in the same house. He doesn’t want to know this fact. So we can disguise the absence for him by having our friend over and having a cake (even though we don’t eat cake very much, and even neither does he). But our friend suggested a cake, and we thought it was so good of her to make that suggestion – that we have a little celebration. And so we are going to do that. And maybe even some balloons and who knows what, just to have it be a celebration. Just a little bit. Some things we like, some foods we like. We have decided. And thanks to you all for listening. Oh: and you all are invited. We think the cake is going to be a yellow cake w/cannoli filling (w/choc. chips in the cannoli filling), w/white buttercream icing and purple (of course) flowers and my name. Oh – should I have "Beauty" written on it or my birth name? I think – we have the birth name. That is what we will have on it. For our birth. And we will be 49 on that day, about 2:00 or so in the afternoon, is our birth time, and probably about the time our friend and I will be having our lunch and cake. Much regards – Beauty.

Thank you, kelly. Yeah, she’s pretty darn special – I won’t even say what she’s done for me – the timing is bad, given the current tenor here at asd. Well – darn it – maybe I’d better say it: Spoiler for tangential and non-graphic ref. to an attempt I made 6 yrs. ago – 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 She helped me during a time when I had done a serious thing – nearly succeeded. She came to my house and got things for me – clothing, make-up, etc., w/out my even asking, w/out my even knowing she knew. She was so wonderful. And she told me recently that the effect on her of what I did was horrific. In her words, she was "a basket case" for months afterward. I don’t know yet exactly why – because I haven’t been able to see her privately in order to get to talk w/her. But merely knowing that was such a gift – because she told me a time when I was very low. Not that I will *ever* do what I did again – it is way beyond my "laws" for myself now, and I have put numerous safeties in place that it should never be again. But knowing that it mattered that much to her – that was a gift, because it made me understand that *I* mattered that much to someone. I thought that maybe it was important to say that right now.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello friends – I did it. My b’day is Saturday. I was not looking forward to that. I was sitting awake sometimes at night, stewing in my minds, thinking of how I would do that day. The husb. "has other plans" that day. I would be alone w/my son – that is – w/my son, so that I would be w/him, so that isn’t alone, but it means that I cannot leave my son alone to go do something w/anyone if I had someone to do something with. I have to find a way to do something that includes the son and would be good for me. I figured it out. I did it. I decided to risk a telephone call and risk having it not work out. I called a friend I haven’t seen in a long time – but she is someone who has been a good friend to me, and someone who knows my stuff. I told her Saturday was my b’day and asked her if she would be able to get together – we talked about whether her son might come, but she thought not. And we figured out what to do so that it would work out that she and I could visit and my son would have something to do, too. And it solves the problem, too, of how to have it be a b’day for my son, because it hurts him that his fthr isn’t going to be here for a b’day – that makes it too clear to him that his prnts are not actually in touch w/each other in any sense except residing in the same house. He doesn’t want to know this fact. So we can disguise the absence for him by having our friend over and having a cake (even though we don’t eat cake very much, and even neither does he). But our friend suggested a cake, and we thought it was so good of her to make that suggestion – that we have a little celebration. And so we are going to do that. And maybe even some balloons and who knows what, just to have it be a celebration. Just a little bit. Some things we like, some foods we like. We have decided. And thanks to you all for listening. Oh: and you all are invited. We think the cake is going to be a yellow cake w/cannoli filling (w/choc. chips in the cannoli filling), w/white buttercream icing and purple (of course) flowers and my name. Oh – should I have "Beauty" written on it or my birth name? I think – we have the birth name. That is what we will have on it. For our birth. And we will be 49 on that day, about 2:00 or so in the afternoon, is our birth time, and probably about the time our friend and I will be having our lunch and cake. Much regards – Beauty.

Question:

Good morning my friends, another wonderful day to fight. I am so thankful for everything I have. I have the most wonderful family and friends that a man could ask for. I decided this weekend that this *Dragon* that is reeking havoc in my body, his days are numbered. I have always been a fighter, I’m not gonna stop now. Fuck these side effects! I am actually looking forward to shot # 2 tonight. It may kick my ass, but so fucking what, I’m gonna get back up tomorrow and fight like hell, and the next day, then the one after that. This same demon is the same one for all pain, we can win. The power of positive thinking. This ain’t shit!!! I’ve been through ten times worse coming down from a week long binge. My spirit is crying out to be free from this bondage. My love for the chemicals got me into this shit, now my hatred for them will get me out of it. When I get through with this tx, I don’t think I will ever even take a Tylenol. When I get this *Chemical Cocktail* flushed out of my system, this beautiful day will be a lot prettier. Now for my morning Riba…. Love, Mike

Hey Russ, if your head hurt anything like my finger did the other day, I’ll bet you wanted to cut it off. You must have a lot of uhhhh *Demons* in yer head or something <g> Funny how it affected my middle finger, I did seem to use it alot in those days. These aches and pains and brain fog and everything is just our bodies routing out this evil shit. It’a battle damnit!!! Noboby said this was gonna be easy. Come on with, I got a high pain tolerance. I broke my foot in practice on friday last year before a race and raced an 8-hour endurance race with a broken foot on saturday. If I could double up on my shots and do this in half the time, I would take another one just as soon as I got over the other one. I went through about two years of heavy drug use ( during and after Loretta… hehhehe) My body and mind looked like a walking zombie when I got through with that. I feel strong and confident now, my family and friends are behind me 100% Bring It!!!!!!

Response:

lucky, when i went in the hospital the first time last month with the high fever they were trying to identify where the fever was coming from. one of the questions several docs asked me repeatedly was if i had been tested for tb recently (before tx, in the last year). when i was talking to my doc later i asked him if they had tested me for it. he told me it wasn’t advisable while a person in taking interferon based immunotherapy. the older skin tests we had as kids had a lot of false positives and the results weren’t always accurate. there is a newer test they use now that evidently has interferon as part of the test. since they were sure if the fever was egged on by my last dosage of peg-interferon, the test could possibly aggravate the reaction further. i don’t know if this applies in your situation or not. good luck to you Dez "lucky" <lu…@love.org> wrote in message

Hey Dwight, the black bike that I am leaning on is my friends Honda XX1100, mine is a green Kawasaki ZRX-1100. I was just riding his bike through the hills for awhile, we always trade bikes back and forth when we go riding. Except he liked my bike so much, I couldn’t get him off of it. He went out and traded that Honda in for a Kawasaki like mine the other day. Speed Safely, Mike "Dwight" <edmo…@flash.net> wrote in message

Mike, I’m feeling like a human again and ready to do it all over again.   If I could take my second shot with you I would already have it out warming up.  Can’t wait to get this over with.  I was looking at the pic on Elmo’s site, what kind of bike is it?  Looks a little like a BMW, but hard to tell.  Thought about putting up one of my pics, but don’t know if it would be one on my bike, with one of my guitars, or one of me on my bike with a guitar.  That last option sounds like another Arlo Guthrie song, maybe I better stop now.

Question:

Well the weather is all over the place today…

Hi Graff We have hid the mid 90’s no breeze to be found and it is as dry as a desert. Awful! I never pictured a walking frame with brakes but it had them and i was impressed .

I never thought of that either but can you imagine someone hitting an incline and being unable to stop?  Sounds like something you would see on the show "Jackass". I walked past the closed shops and passed the car park and the bus stop .

Are most of your stores closed on Sundays?  I remember the day you could not buy anything but food on Sundays.   W*nk*r so in the tradition and impulse of the moment i saluted him with one of my fingers and he saluted back. I get the impression he was trying to act big and macho

Sounds like some of the kids in my son’s junior high, always trying something for "shock value".  I guess some never grow up:( I hope you are all feeling well and having a beautiful day .

Good Sunday to you as well Graff. Off to help hubby in the yard. {{Graff}} Missy

Hello Missy Well the weather is all over the place today… Hi Graff We have hid the mid 90’s no breeze to be found and it is as dry as a desert. Awful!

Oh (((Missy))) I’m sorry to hear the weather is so hot and dry there……I will send you some traditional cool calming mellow winds and cloud cover tomorrow ok . I never pictured a walking frame with brakes but it had them and i was impressed . I never thought of that either but can you imagine someone hitting an incline and being unable to stop?  Sounds like something you would see on the show "Jackass".

Ah i’ve seen the show and i like it . I walked past the closed shops and passed the car park and the bus stop . Are most of your stores closed on Sundays?  I remember the day you could not buy anything but food on Sundays.  

Oh in this area most of the shops are shut on a Sunday still yes. The off license and the news agent are open and a local super market but that’s all . W*nk*r so in the tradition and impulse of the moment i saluted him with one of my fingers and he saluted back. I get the impression he was trying to act big and macho Sounds like some of the kids in my son’s junior high, always trying something for "shock value".  I guess some never grow up:(

Well he will if he meets the right people . I have known a few rather unique people and some of them would genuinely end his life for chappy . Personally i don’t like violence but i know a man who does…..well ok i know several groups of people who do……most of them are kind and sweet and have families but i would never recommend upsetting them or hurting their friends…..if this young man trying to enforce his manhood tried it with the wrong chappy he would only do it once and would never have the opportunity to do it twice . You know sitting here at 2:08 am I’m wondering how these people of dubious character came to know me ?. Maybe a draw this type of person……I have one friend who is a wizard with computers and could take over the world in less than an hour and then another friend who can extract poison from more plants that i could name yet the violent ones are chappy if he thought about it. I don’t think thinking about it at this point would be a good idea do you ?. I may end up messing my mind up again…..this I’m trying to avoid as I’m sure you understand. Sorry i seem to have left the road a little on the reply…….as for what you are saying the young do tend to do things for the shock value and yes it can be very stressful for all considered not just the parents after they find their child has been playing with drugs or vandalism but for the children who do it and the friend who think they are cool and copy them . I hope you are all feeling well and having a beautiful day . Good Sunday to you as well Graff. Off to help hubby in the yard.

I had a nice Sunday…..relaxing and calming……well sort of…..its complicated in my head some days…..i tend to keep out of everyones way and wait for it to pass. So helping your chappy sort out the yard…….nothing personal but unless you have gardening tools with buttons and electricity it sounds boring …….I say bring on the buttons…..make a shovel with a hammer action so at least it has one button on it ……A hose pipe which makes a good mug of tea…..a flower which can glow in the dark so you don’t just get to enjoy them during the day and have the rose with a built in radio that plays gardening style music . ( Insert knock at the door here ) ( Insert person running in with strong dose of medication and a nice its not buttons but it has a clasp and a buckle…..close enough for me ) {{Graff}}

Graff Does a mini blow torch count<G I am serious here. My son and I ended up doing the work together as a suprise for my husband who did the grocery shopping for me (I have a hard time in stores anxiety wise).   To make a long story short, we sold our above the ground pool over the winter and are putting in an in the ground starting at the end of the week.  We built a huge patio with those 2×2 white patio blocks and they had to be lifted and moved (to make room for the new patio decking that comes with the pools) into a pile at the back of our property.  The lifting was bad enough but we discovered fire ants under every single block we lifted.  They are very hurtful little boogers<G.  I did not want to spray a bunch of poison where we were working so my son propped up the blocks and I blasted them with my husbands blow torch (he is a licensed plumber and does a bunch of side work).  It made for interesting work.  It was hard but the look on his face when he came home and saw most of them moved was priceless.  He thought he would have to come home and work until the wee hours of the night<G Missy

Oh fire is always fun . I have a collection of lighters so if you need a light let me know . My son and I ended up doing the work together as a suprise for my husband who did the grocery shopping for me (I have a hard time in stores anxiety wise).  

I can understand that. I don’t go in many myself . To make a long story short, we sold our above the ground pool over the winter and are putting in an in the ground starting at the end of the week.  We built a huge patio with those 2×2 white patio blocks and they had to be lifted and moved (to make room for the new patio decking that comes with the pools) into a pile at the back of our property.  The lifting was bad enough but we discovered fire ants under every single block we lifted.  They are very hurtful little boogers<G.

I’m sure he appreciated the effort that was made . Missy

Response:

Hello Everyone . Well the weather is all over the place today……no rain yet but the sun has been out the skies have been blue and the wind has blown a little but not to much . I left my home at 12:08 and 9 seconds which was early considering and i walked up the road after saying goodbye to my mum and dad . I walked around the corner passing an older chappy with a walking frame which had three wheels on it and to my surprise two brakes. I never pictured a walking frame with brakes but it had them and i was impressed . I pictured the news says " Man found exceeding the speed limit at 120 MPH using a modified walking frame " . I walked past the closed shops and passed the car park and the bus stop . The walk up the main road had a little interest. I passed a woman who was short and had a face that reminded me of a wide mouth frog but in a sweet way and she was squishy to boot so this was nice . I got the feeling she had a very nice personality and her smile would have been a picture to look at . Part of the way up the main road i saw a deep red car coming the other way and as i looked at the driver as he passed he beeped his horn and waved so i waved back. You know i still don’t know who he was and i only know one person with a car like that and its Wayne and he was asleep i found out later when i visited so it couldn’t have been him . I wonder who this chappy was ?. I carried on the walk and passed the traffic lights and then the bus stop where i passed a woman, a baby in a push chair and also two teenaged chappies and pub before walking down the hill and up the steps. ( Insert a small pause here while i contemplate the workings of life and try to work out where the hours go during the day when i sleep ). ( Insert another small pause before i continue as i would like to drink my yummy mug of tea before i get any further into the walk ). Ah a little tea works wonders . I feel so refreshed i think i could take on the world…..well ok i now have enough energy to pick up the mug and drink a little more tea but close enough .  I walked around the round about and the second one and started walking up the hill. At this point i had seen several motorcycles but later in the walk i saw a Yamaha Fazer ( Or is that Faser….im not sure ), a Suzuki 1100 GSXRR and a mystery bike which may have been a modified Ducati with custom paint job and custom number plate…..I know it was a twin piston thing but the styling did suggest a Ducati and the sound is very unique . I crossed the road and walked down the gap wondering why i never have much to say about the gap i walk down first. I guess this street is quiet and would explain the lack of input but just once it would be nice to report more detail on this part of the walk . ( Insert the finishing of the mug of tea here ). I crossed over the foot B thing and crossed the road once more passing a man leaning over the gate of the allotment looking at the plots of land and admiring the produce they have grown. I walked around a small car parked on the entrance of the cemetery and saw in the grounds an older man in his late 50’s and a very small little girl who i’m guessing is his grand daughter tending to a grave. I saluted twice and sent everyone mellow squishes before walking back to the first round about . I walked up the hill and passed the pub and started walking to the traffic lights. I felt ok even though i was a little warm and i didn’t know what was about to happen but i will explain now. I passed the little old lady in the window and even though she didn’t look up i said hello under my breathe and smiled before walking down the main road. I saw cars pass me on the other side of the road and one of the was a small red car with two late teenaged boys in it. The driver who had his window down stared at me as he passed and mouthed the word W*nk*r so in the tradition and impulse of the moment i saluted him with one of my fingers and he saluted back. I get the impression he was trying to act big and macho ( This makes me giggle ) in front of his friend and it was obvious to me that he would have found the first person who was large or mean looking to do this and i was at hand. I don’t blame him for his actions as its the right of all men as they try to grow up to do this sort of thing and i’ve been guilty of it when i was young but i could think of better ways than that. I did notice he didn’t come back or turn around  and challenge me but that’s just my point……A small dare to prove his worth. i’m guessing he wouldn’t do that sort of thing face to face as he might not make it home if he picked on the wrong person ( Hee Hee Oh i’ve heard some stories that would make your hair curl ). Anyway that’s all finished now so no problem there . ( Insert small pause here while i get ready for the next piece ). I walked down the main road passing through the shopping area where a large group of boys with peddle bikes were hanging around and not doing anyone any harm and mainly chatting. I passed a few other people and then walked down the main road. I didn’t see a soul apart from more motorcycles again and i reached the first gap in good time . I walked through the gap and headed back up the road passing several people including two men leaning on a car talking and i think a woman and three children…..well it was a young teenager ( Well i know how much of a difference it can be at that age….im not a girl i’m a woman ) and two young girls……i think……sorry i didn’t pay much attention at this point in the walk. I reached the flat and knocked on the door and Mel let me in ( Mel shouted up the stairs before opening the door to get way out of bed as i was early ). I sat down in the front room and watched the TV while Mel answered the phone and talked to Wayne’s Mum . They were on the phone for some time and Mel only moved for a short visit to the front door when some girls came calling for Amy who wasn’t there and was out playing with other people . I explained about the new graphic card to Wayne and how much room it was going to take up on the new mother board and the lack of expansion space i would have and he laughed and said " So its not going to be long before you upgrade then " and i said give me chance i haven’t even built this one yet LOL. I asked if it was ok to visit this evening and was told it was fine and i was also told i have an open invitation which is very kind of them both . I feel uncomfortable visiting unless i’ve been invited as i don’t want to out stay my welcome or interrupt other people. ( Insert small pause here ) I saw Mel leave to go shopping and as Mel was leaving she sang the evil Under The Sea song which i tickled her for revenge and we giggled and it wasn’t long after i thought i better make a move as i needed to do the type up and rest myself if i wanted to go out tonight ( i’m doing my best to make going out a fun experience so to build up my confidence and enjoy a little life….it helps a lot ). I left and chatted with Wayne for only 5 minutes on his door step ( This is a record as we normally chat for 30 minutes before i finally leave LOL ) and as i turned to walk away at the end of the corridor Natasha came out of one of the other flats and bowed gracefully ( This sort of greeting give me a giggle and i like it ……My kind of humour ) and i said hello. Natasha passed me and i said to Wayne i would try to see him tonight and As Natasha passed me she said " Oh that’s good……You can get the video footage later ". OK to explain this is simple. Natasha asked me to take a picture of her and her friend so they could have one put up on their wall. Not a problem but i would need to print it and my printer doesn’t work ( Well i’ve been meaning to clean it out and strip it down for nearly 12 months now but i just don’t have the time……If i can i will do it when Mum and Dad are on holiday this year ). I thought about this and said when i passed her about four walks ago in the evening that i could video her and make a VCD/SVCD/DVD instead ( Well i’m renowned for working around problems and finding the more simple way of doing things and this is a lazy…..im a conservationist of Energy…..Mine LOL ). She said it was a great idea and when we passed next time i could record her…….Im guessing her friend Nicola will be with her…..I have no idea…..Look i just do the recording and make the disk ok LOL……I don’t ask about the complicated parts . Anyway i said i would be down at some point this evening and i do like to keep my promises I will record no doubt her saying hello and that will be it and then i have to make a 30 minute video film of it……Not easy but possible…….More footage would be easier of course . ( Insert a quick cigarette here……Yikes not there….Hee Hee And let me have a quick inhalation before i continue ). ( Oh the small and little pause say hello ). I said goodbye and crossed the road before walking through the second gap and walking up the main road passing the custom Ducati as i went . It didn’t take long to return to the shopping area and after the larger volume of traffic passed me i crossed the road and walked home. I had a nice walk and even though a little boy in the car was rude i had a nice day out . I hope you are all feeling well and having a beautiful day . I was out for 2 hours 39 minutes 37 second and 37 hundredths of a second . ( I think this is the first time my finishing time seconds and hundredths of a second have been the same ? ).

One evening, strolling along the shore, we noticed in the sea some pillars with big indication lights for the arriving planes, which were aligned with the head of the runway.

OK, so we decided to come back the following day, also in the evening, and wait for a plane to land. We went to the head of the runway again – there’s a fence that separates the airport from the beach – and I stood with my back on the fence, with my feet stuck in the sand and with my MD player ready to play "Beautiful Day", just in the part where it says "Touch me, take me to that other place//Tea-ea-ea-each me, I know I’m not a hopeless case//What you don’t know you don’t need it now…", to make the experience REAL and truly interactive! We got there at 18:15 and waited patiently for a plane to appear in the sky, so that it would give me enough time to start playing the song. There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky, it was so bright and so blue…, what anyone would call a "beautiful day" )). My hubby had taken his (digital) camera with him to take a pic of the historic event. OK, I was standing there, so excited I couldn’t believe what I was about to do. Waited for a couple of minutes and then I saw the strong headlights of the plane coming towards me… Oh My God… This was gonna be incredible! The plane kept coming in the exact direction of the lights in the sea aligned with the runway… and I was standing there… I pushed the ‘play’ button of my MD player and there it was, the plane flying over me, with its engines roaring, as I was listening to BD and singing at the top of my lungs!!!! WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!! This is what I call a REALLY INTERACTIVE experience!! ))) Don’t you agree? Needless to say, I kept jumping even after the plane had passed, for nearly five minutes. I was so, so excited and crazy about the whole thing that I didn’t notice I was still jumping!! ))) All right, now apart from the story, I have two pictures that my husband took of me jumping and the plane passing JUST ABOVE my head, which I have uploaded in the Web for all of you to see.

I had a similar, albeit not so intense, on my way to the Buffalo gig.  We drove right by the Buffalo airport on the way into the city and we had a jet fly right over us as ATYCLB was in the cd player.  Not quite as intense, but as we were in transit to the concert it was quite an amazing bit of irony.

Question:

Hi all, I’ve been lurking here for a while and decided to come out of lurkdom to ask the following question: What songs do you listen to that really motivate you while you exercise? I’m not one who enjoys exercising, but I know how crucial it is to losing weight so I do it.  I like songs with lyrics that seem to go along with making a positive change, like "It’s My Life" by Bon Jovi, or "I’m Walking Away" by Craig David.  Any other music lovers out there who have a great anthem? Some other good moving songs: "I’m Every Woman" by Whitney Houston "Stronger" by Britney Spears "Black Suits Comin’" by Will Smith Feel free to add to the list! I’m always looking for a great song to listen to while I’m on the treadmill. Joyce

Response:

I prefer music that has an upbeat steady beat to it.   If I’m walking I like to walk to the beat.   So I find Ace of Base’s CD has a vast majority of songs that are at the tempo I like to walk to.   Same goes for that song "blue".    So – I look for music that has the tempo I like.   My taste ranges though – 80’s, rock, current top 40, etc.

I like to exercise to things that I would like to listen to if I were driving down a long lonely highway (strong beat and interesting lyrics so I stay awake in the latter case).  The CD I put together for both purposes has these songs on it: 1) Get the Party Started – Pink 2) Smooth Criminal – Alien Ant Farm 3) Everything Zen (The Lhasa Fever Mix) – Bush 4) Under Pressure ‘99 – Queen/David Bowie 5) Beautiful Day – U2 6) How You Remind Me – Nickelback 7) Krptonite – Three Doors Down Californication – Red Hot Chili Peppers 9) Possum Kingdom – The Todies 10) Water’s Edge – Seven Mary Three 11) Paranoid – Megadeth 12) Break on Through – The Doors 13) Free Bird – Lynrd Skynyrd 14) Epic – Faith No More 15) Livin’ on the Edge – Aerosmith 16) Hair of the Dog – Guns N’ Roses I know this will sound strange but I also like to exercise to the "Running Cadences of the U.S. Armed Forces" tape that I bought for my DH.  He said that he missed (20 yr Army vet) hearing those when he ran.  He hasn’t run though since he retired in 1988.

I listen to mostly 80’s type stuff, but my favorite one to start with is St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion) by John Parr even if it is really woman in motion…  : ) shawn

This is a very fun thread joyce, thanks for starting it Any song for me will do if it’s quick and upbeat but the one that motivates me most is Ricky Martin’s Do you really want it. Other songs I’ve listened to while exercising. As you can tell… I’m a music lover too Baha men – Rat race Backstreet boys – The call Great big sea – The night that patty murphy died Midnight Dixi Runners (?) – Common Eileen Kylie Minogue – Can’t get you out of my head (great song for walking JJ) Baha Men – Best years of our lives Will Smith – Men in black Blues Traveller – Run around Serena Paris – Look at us now Shania Twain – Don’t be stupid Rednex – Cotton Eyed Joe (good running song ) Scatman John – Scatman’s world Taco – Puttin’ on the ritz Gigi Di’augustino (?) – Baby just come to me Pet Shop Boys – Always on my mind Blue – All rise Shakira – whenever, wherever Twisted Sister – We’re not gonna take it

How about taht 80s smash hit parody by "weird Al" Yankovic…Eat it. It’s very uptempo.  You could run it back to back with his follow up "Fat".  Another one was Sirmixalot "Baby got back".

That’s a weird way to get inspired to work out so you’re not "Fat" and you don’t want to "Eat it" all the time and everything.  I want "baby got a skinny butt" personally.  I don’t put songs in a workout line up for their inspiration though, just their rockingness and general listenability. Tonia

Great list!  Will Smith’s songs are perfect to exercise to.  In the past I’ve had "Men in Black", "Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It", "Wild, Wild West" (and that New Year’s Eve song that I can’t remember the name of) on my music line ups. I currently love to walk to "Black Suit’s Comin’" from Men in Black II.  I hear the movie is a dud, but at least the song’s good.  :) Joyce – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Other songs I’ve listened to while exercising.

Agreed, fun thread.  I have a bunch of songs that get me movin’: – Mambo #5 (which puts a big grin on my face after seeing a whole bunch of old folks at a picnic line dancing with walkers to it!) – Big band era stuff — it got ‘em moving over 50 years ago & when I work at the assisted living facility it still does! – The occasional disco diva number ("Bad Girls", "I Will Survive", "It’s Raining Men" — hard to hear repeated again & again like back in the ’70’s, but fun to listen to once in a while now.  And funny too. – Some of Annie Lennox’s stuff ("Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves") Michele

I’m an 80’s music sort of a person, so I like exercising while listening to The Police (early tapes), Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, sometimes Alice Cooper and Def Leppard… Or sometimes just the ordinary music on the radio will do. When I drive the stationary bike, I usually watch the TV anyway, so I don’t listen to the music then.

How lovely, Anna. Thanks for sharing this with us. It was chilly, rainy, and windy here all day. True March weather in New England. brrrrrrr

Well normally march is chilly and rainy here too,but we have those days when there is no wind and the sun is up. I even worked the garden in a shirt without sleeves But I bought some pole-bean seeds at Target today, and hope to get those planted in the garden in late next month. Yum.

Oh yes you should (Yummie) xxoo Anne

Older ex-hippies (SLOOPY!) will maybe remember the British psychedelic folk.rock band called "It’s a beautiful day". And it was!

Indeed. Someone say Moby Grape?? LOL

No, but I will be happy to say it. "Moby Grape", there you are. One of the very best bands ever ("I’ve got murder in my heart for the judge") for three albums, then they became too mellow for my taste and eventually they became so mellow they just melted away… — Sloopy:)

It was warm and sunny here too. But we have a meter of snow in our garden… I was a little anxious in the middle of the day, but I ran 8 kilometers on a treadmill and it helped. Juha Tenhosaari Vice Principal of Various Silly Practices Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
