jj - its not your mic...lol...its your eyes lad...do a re-fresh on your previous page - you'll see it - I had a router-home wifi multiplexer failure here as my correction post was PENDING OF COURSE ,B4 I saw this post of yours, right as the little turqoise color spinning anime-glyph started spinning..captivating me and implanting subconscious thoughts to buy redundant microsoft products.

I'm going back to good ole' free-ware Linux-Unix O/S - and write my own f*8c*in* database, and plug in my mapping software from ESRI to that - runs stronger in Unix by far. Higher thu-put, almost zero O/S-based and apps crashes - as long as the apps do not need emulators - crash-causing on anything, dramatically lower sys depedencies, all tru 64 bit, command-driven with CLI 4GL +5GL shareware (CLI on the 4GL) built-in programming languages with no planned obsolesecence - its all incremental in upgrading, the kernel/core stays the same.

I don't like this desktop's Windows Vista - my Windows XP (2000 redux) Professional/Office ran much more reliably on my Dell portable dumbell set (11 lbs lol)- MooJave project or not - thats salesmanship is all. I DO like the tabs - I no longer USE more than one window consequentially - 8 tabs per window - can do same in Linux with programming =I am so tired of crashes in this perfectly good dual core upper-mid level desk platform; I want to run on my Dell XPS Laptop again - in repair - but Linux here I come, with simultaeous O/S capable strength, run windows when I need 2 - despite footprint - I have lots of disk and tons of RAM on the laptop - ,more than a lot of 'High End' desktops. Its just burns your OH boys off. lol.

OK jj - cool - u c mention made on previous page ? BTW -before I post new 10, when is your on-line time when the majority of other users are on - so I don't give inequitable advantage to you and joveski ? - U know -Your highest overlap with other timezones - notably North American of course ?

Thank jj - good new thread - burned me ! lol

Q193
Lyric - You're as...
Song-Fine as Fine Can Be:

You're as soft as the rose
You're as sweet as the honey
You're as warm as the bright morning sun
You're as cool as the breeze on the last days of April
You're as fine as fine can be

You're like time is to space
You're like faith is to trusting
You're like blue is to feeling unkind
You're like joy is to love,
You're like dreams are for chasing
You're as fine as fine can be

And when I am gone my thoughts are all with you
You're my little angel you see
You're as bright as the moon
You're as light as a feather
You're as fine as fine can be

Like the rain is for the crops
You're like food for my thoughts
You're like true is for knowing what's not
You're like leaves are for trees
You're like bees are for buzzing
You're as fine as fine can be

You're as bright as the moon
You're as light as a feather
You're as fine as fine can be

This will obviously fall into the ambiguous category. The determining factor
will be "What was geosteve thinking ?" And that's always anybody's guess.

Default Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !

nice, i like being left with a few clues that start a phrase

Q189 High....
song: circle of steel
phrase: high windows flickerin down in the snow, a time you know

Q195 So many....
song: the lyric came quick but the title aint comin at all...just yet!
phrase: so many times I don't remeber if it's December or July

Q194....cabin....
song: 16 miles to 7 lakes
phrase: somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small

no idea at all on that rarity...even tough using reference material

on those first three, shooting total blanks here

i am having fun, steveo, thanks as always for the kicks
Jj...

Wow guys- fast off the boards today !

OK - I think everyone that wanted to read my attempt at humour has allready, so I free'd up space for real fun - the game ! All in fun, RM

BTW good one though, Ron (the speculation after your Restless Bid)...lol oh ye of little faith ! Sometimes I never know what I am thinking ! Note though, I hope, that I held to rules we all posted on and over several times in previous pages...and pages ago...lol..

-on your "Ambig" case; you however had it posted it first with Restless. No matter it was not the intended any more; we seem to have come to ageement awhile back that whoever comes up with a valid usage case first, takes it, and you did pal !

Okay, how about this (and no fair Char, I've already told you), from my favorite song...

"It's a feeling you'd better believe in..."

SherylKat, HI ! I'm sorry, I don't understand your post. Might you have accidently dropped in on the wrong thread where you'd left-off in another similar sounding one ? I've almost done that a few times myself; we have so many game/lyrics/quizzer/ Q & A threads, etc right now. There's an almosr parallel on e with food as the theme, find the song. Oh,Linda is the game "host" in there; could this be a response to an ad-hoc thought someone had ? We have those, sort-of back and forth, in-between what we do here: I ask Q#'s with song clues in the form of Lyrics, and people try to guess the songs ! We're you guessing a song by submitting a question to challenge (in fun) Char to answer, then THAT becomes a game answer to the current 11 questions posted this page aobve ? I wish I could help you more...

Wait a minute, I think I know what you're doing ! YOU are asking an off-list CLUE-Question with "It's a feeling you'd better believe in..." (If so, the dots at the end...and the capped "It's" in our rules would imply to the players that I was asking "what song has these 7 words STARTING A VERSE LINE ? - That would be the question in game format if thats what you are ...challenging us all with ? Like "passing the host" as in "passing the deal" in cards ? We've talked about it, (I sure wouldn't mind playing once in awhile, but now I can play in Linda's !) Please do let me know if that is what you mean with this, and I'll be happy to incorporate it into our somewhat more lossely-structured game format than it used to be, but not quite this ...fuzzy. Lemme know !
- Thanks SherylKat

P.S. - I've heard Nothern Calif. is beautiful this time of year.... I am sure that you, Like I, use a generalized "location" as a matter of privacy, but may I ask what is it like in your "area" of Calif. right now ? Weatherwise, leaves turning on deciduous trees, Ocean & costal temperate, or Evergreens in or near the Mountains ? & SNOW YET IF SO ? Only is thats not too invasive. Thanks for dropping in, and please let us know what you are wanting, I am pretty sure you're saying "guess the song from this..." . If do, I let the players guess 'em , and I tally 'em (the answers) and come up with more questions ! Believe it or not, these folks can answer from one, sometimes 2 words - and GET THE SONG ! Wooee !

P.P.S: You don't mean this pretty darn close to what you said song do you? :

It's Worth Believin' ~gl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a warm wind tonight
And the moon turns the tide
When the stars take their ride she'll be leaving
Where she goes, I don't know
She won't tell me what it is
That makes her act like this
But I've got a funny feeling that it's me
It's worth believing
Should I ask
Do you like to go walking on the shore
And listen to the sea
Or could it be someone kind
Could it be that I'm the fool
There's something wrong with you
And I've got a funny feeling that it's me
It's worth believing

There's a breeze from the shore
And the waves overlap
When I've called in the cat she'll go walking
And she cries to herself
In the night when I'm asleep
She lies awake and weeps
Could it be someone new
Someone old who has returned
Or is it just a game
But I've got a funny feeling that it's me
It's worth believing

<>There's a warm wind tonight

??????????????? close to: your song with matching seperate words in the song I come up with as closest, matching words in Cyan-blue, not-found in "Its Worth believing" = Pale Green ( (pine needle colour) as you can see its
close, in key words, but no verse starts and continues the way yours does, starting with "It's a feeling...

matching/no -match seperate words: eg blue/green respectively:

Well, I'm outta uniform now as referree in this here game, so I was able to try and help, butI wsn't much. Shall I add it to my Q's/Clues list ? (I'd have to have you PM me the song title to verify it in my funny database thing I've got for the game and ...well..load it so to speak.. ? Let me know !

Hi, I didn't realize how many of the quiz lyric games were going on! However, your guess is incorrect, although I loved your printing out all the lyrics to that song!

Right now, it's gorgeous here in Sacramento - (when I'm joking around, I call it Baja Canada!) 1-1/2 hours from "The City" (San Fran) and 1-1/2 hours from Lake Tahoe. It's in the mid-80's which, because of the kack of humidity, makes it incredibly comfortable. Cold at night, though, dropping into the 50's at this time of year. Trees just starting to change - we get Fall around our Thanksgiving, which is the last Thursday in November. Fall's my favorite time of year but this Thanksgiving, I'll be in Tahiti! Yea! Have wanted to go since 1962...We can "visit" Fall by driving about an hour to a place called Camino (in the foothills of the Sierras), to eat caramel apples and apple pie (huge apple orchards up there) and smell the lovely Fall smells...Hope you are enjoying this most lovely time of the year!

Not at all, SheryKat, I could tell you were a nice person - heck - we've posted in the same threads before - I just wanted to be sure and be polite, and not accidently seem to be posturing as though everyone is posting to me !...lol

That's all - now ,you drop on in anytime now, y'hear ?

BTW - that's some good advice in your signature, I'll have to try me some of that !
