| Hoo wee! These days is flyin' by so fast Pappy feels a breeze a-blowin' through my hair. Hmm, I reckon that ain't entirely accurate to say a-blowin' through my hair, seein' as how I ain't got but the one. Anyhow, if you're missin' some days, just look fer 'em in the direction Pappy's hair (singular) is a-pointin'. They went that-a-way!

Paul McCartney Song Named Most Hated Christmas Tune
Monday December 18, 2006
It's one of those songs that gets stuck in your head and won't leave.
Which is why a tune by Paul McCartney has been named the worst Christmas song of all time for the second straight year.
Critics note "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" is abysmal for lots of reasons - the keyboards, the vocals and the repetitive nature of the tune itself, which gets played and played and played endlessly at this time of year, mostly because it was made by a former Beatle.
And that's enough to have the 1979 song declared the worst Yule tune of all time by the website Retrocrush. Those sitting in judgment note, "Anyone who has ever had to suffer through this .., should at least get a fat check from Sir Paul as a Christmas gift."
Oddly, The McCartney tune came in tied for first place in a similar survey CityNews conducted last year at this time. The co-winner? "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano.
What's in second place in the new survey? A song that has many cringing even more than the McCartney tune called "Christmas Shoes". This seasonal classic - or not so classic - by NewSong that tells the story of a dying mother and a small boy trying to buy shoes for her during the holiday season.
It actually spawned a movie and is expected to set clenched teeth on edge for Christmases to come.
For those of you who agree with the list, take heart - there's only a week left before all those songs are put aside for another year.

LOL Macca! I didn't want to tell you this but "Simply Having....." (don't want to type the whole title for fear that it will get stuck in my head  ) is the most hated song at our house too!!!!!
But I like Feliz Navidad! Must be my Spanish roots.... 
Spent the day today "UNshopping". 
Not NEAR as much fun as shopping.

"UNSHOPPING" is just another term I use for RETURNING the stuff I spent last week buying! If you shop for teen girls, it just becomes a way of life.
I do have to say that the return lines are way better BEFORE Christmas than they are afterward!!!

Morning all. I am the only person on the forum except for a lurker. Cracker if you break you leg or something at Christmas time is pretty much takes care of shopping or unshopping for that matter which is not entirely a bad thing.
Passed inspection yesterday. The bone is still close to where it broke so should heal. Of course the PA looked me in the eye and said "you will come back next week. We have all our non compliant patients come in every week for a while." Now was that nice do you think? 7 weeks to go.

Good Morning!!!
That's too funny Jane! I'm sure one doesn't make the "non compliant" list unless they've actually done something that is "non compliant".
Stay off those feet and let all of those bones heal!

Red Sovine actually has the worst Christmas songs of all time, such as the tear-jerker "What Does Christmas Look Like?" (a little blind girl asks daddy to describe the Christmas that she cannot see).
Believe me, you don't want to get any Red Sovine song stuck in your head.
One of his more famous is "Teddy Bear" about the little crippled boy whose trucker daddy died in a wreck tryin' to get home in a blindin' snowstorm.
I can't remember the title, but there's also one where a drunk runs over his own son who then forgives him before he dies in his daddy's arms.

Pappy, did you mean phobia?
Sounds too much like Deli-phobia?
I can't think of any reason why anyone would suffer from Deli-phobia unless they have a Belly-phobia!

So I just read that a fire truck in Stokesdale and a Tanker truck collided at the intersection of 68 and 158. Jim, lean out your front door and see what you can see. My wife said everything was all blocked off.
ps wxii.com has a breaking news bar at the top in red.

A Stokesdale Fire Department truck, responding to a fire call at Culp, Inc. this aftenoon, was hit in the intersection of Highway 158 and Highway 68 by a gasoline tanker truck with a resulting fuel spill. Environmental response units, as well as several Guilford County EMS units as well as other area fire departments have responded. 4 Stokesdale firemen have been transported to Greensboro hospitals by the Guilford EMS for observation, but are not believed to be serious injured. Several televisions news and satellite television trucks are on the scene and given the large number of area fire trucks and EMS units which have responded, as well as several Guilford County Sherriff's Department vehicles for crowd control, the area is impassible and likely to remain so for quite some time.
Ironically, I was down at the Stokesdale Fire Station a few minutes after the accident happened (to deliver my 'Angel Tree' gifts before the deadline), and the information above came to me by way of Stokesdale firemen at the station and from the fire chief's mother, Diane Gauldin.
