Dear lord, tell me that recipe is a practical joke. I LOVE garlic but…gag
Eve, I’m sorry life’s got you down right now. Your lament, however, reminds me of a nice little song. Perhaps it would cheer you up if I sang it for you.
Someday somebody’s gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye
Till then, babay, are you gonna let them hold you down and make you cry
Don’t you know, don’t you know things can change, things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things’ll go your way
Hold on for one more day
Ow. Ow, stop hitting
Actually, with the right shades of gray and beige, this can work. It requires a beige blouse or sweater with the suit, though. And the right accessories, of course.
But where are you getting the painkillers? My doc has cut me off, claiming he’ll lose his license. Since I have a good deal of chronic pain, this is a bit of a problem…
BTW, as far as I’m concerned, everything can go your way, Eve.
If that Wilson Phillips stuff works for you, you can also Mmmm…bop by those cute little towheads in Hansen.
Here’s the song you’re REALLY looking for (from Monty Python’s LIFE OF BRIAN):
Bright Side of Life
by Eric Idle
Cheer up, Brian.
You know what they say;
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle,
Don’t grumble, give a whistle,
And this’ll help things turn out for the best, hey,
Always look on the bright side of life,
Always look on the light side of life,
If life seems jolly rotten,
There’s something you’ve forgotten,
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you’re feeling in the dumps,
Don’t be silly chumps,
Just purse you’re lips and whistle,
That’s the thing.
And, always look on the bright side of life,
Always look on the right side of life,
For life is quite absurd,
And death’s the final word,
You must always face the curtain with a bow,
Forget about your sin,
give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it, it’s you last chance anyhow…
So, always look on the bright side of death,
Just before you draw your terminal breath,
Life’s a piece o’ shit,
When you look at it,
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke it’s true,
You’ll see it’s all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go,
Remember that the last laugh is on you.
And, always look on the bright side of life,
Always look on the right side of life,
Come on, Brian cheer up,
Always look on the bright side of life,
Always look on the right side of life,
Worse things happen at sea, you know,
Always look on the bright side of life,
I mean, what do you have to lose?
You come from nothing,
You go back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!
“Oh, i got plenty o’ nothin’
And nothin’s plenty for me
I got no car, i got no mule
I got no misery
Don’t you see
I got no lock on my door
That’s okay with me
Cause the things that i prize
Like the stars in the skies are all free
I got plenty o’ nothin’
And nothin’s plenty for me”
[Perry Como]
Oh! It’s a good day, for singin’ a song,
An’ it’s a good day for movin’ along,
Yes, it’s a good day, how could anything go wrong?
A good day from mornin’ 'till night!
Yes it’s a good day, ( it’s a lovely day for shinin’ ) for shinin’ your shoes
An’ it’s a good day ( if you wan’ a silver linin’ ) for losin’ the blues
( You got . . . ) Everything t’ gain ( everythin’ t’ gain and nuthin’ ) and nuthin’ t’ lose,
‘Cuz it’s a good day from mornin’ to night! ( You’re right! )
[/Como]
*There’s a dark and a troubled side of life
There’s a bright and a sunny side, too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view.
Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life.
The storm and its fury broke today
Brushing hopes that we’ve cherished so dear
Cloud and storm will in time pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear.
Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life. *
