"This Is The (Blank) That Never Ends... Yes It Goes On and On, My Friend!"

Every morning of the meetup, did you EVER see me drag myself in? Dragging in is for coffee addicts who have not had a cuppa yet.

I was going to give you a red X emoji but most people probably won't know that I'm joking.

Now you listen here.

I demand that you take that back right now!

I'm JUST as mean and ornery AFTER drinking coffee as I am BEFORE having it, thank you very much!

Humph.

I've got a reputation to uphold, y'know.

(will TODAY be the day it finally gives up the goat???)

Shouldn't that be "give up the ghost"?

Yesterday this song started playing in my mind

My Song

I'm goin' to sing my song
And sing it all day long
A song that never ends
How can I tell you
All the things inside my head?

The change in these past years
Has made me see our world
In many different ways
How can I tell you
Love can change our destiny?

Love can change the world
Love can change your life
Do what makes you happy
Do what you know is right
And love with all your might before it's too late

Where did I find all these words?
Something inside of me is burning
There's life in other worlds
Maybe they'll come to Earth
Helping man to find a way

One day I hope we'll be in perfect harmony
A planet with one mind
Then I could tell you
All the things inside my head

I'm goin' to sing my song
And sing it all day long
A song that never ends
How can I tell you
All the things inside my head?

I'm goin' to sing my song
A song that never ends

This is the ThinkPad that never ends

I swear those things will never die. Every ThinkPad I ever had is (as far as I know) still living long after technology has moved on past it and you wish it would die so you could justify buying a new, modern laptop.

Lol, I guess I'm not very good at little sayings like that.

I had just read some article describing someone in modern terms as a G.O.A.T., (greatest of all time,) so I guess the word "goat" was just embedded in my head at the time.

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad. After the charger port came loose ayear later I took it in for repairs Over $800 they quoted. Or...I can use the other charger port I didnt know it had.🤦‍♀️

Yes! Good call.

Shari Lewis was Lamp Chop's "voice" and host of the show.

Sorry for the odd placement but I copied this off her Wikipedia article.

Unfortunately, the pen I'm using is in one of those inexpensive cheap 10-count packs, but at least I have another one ready to go.

I'm glad you're here and enjoying the discussions! Thanks for the mention of including both light and heavy topics. I definitely like to do a little of each, and I always get a kick out of meeting people in person and hearing them say I am the same way in real-life conversations!
