Little Things That Remind You of Other Borderers

[Troubadour]

How about Kay's Bar in Edinburgh, Scotland? ;)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

OMG troub - that is awesome! Thanks for the detective work - who would've ever guessed that. I reckon I'll definitely have to visit 'my bar' in Scotland whenever I finally make it over to Europe.

[TimothyBFan]

I was too slow to take a picture when we drove past it, but I just did a quick search online and, sure enough, here's the very place! It's in Wimborne, Dorset.

It looks like a very respectable place!!! ;-)

[Brooke]

Willie, are you surprised? :hilarious:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah - Willie's pub is a bit classier than mine - go figure! Maybe mine is cozier and more intimate. :wink:

[TimothyBFan]

Hey, I'm just glad it's not a bordello!!! :hilarious:

[WalshFan88]

Hey, I'm just glad it's not a bordello!!! :hilarious:

:rofl: :hilarious:

[Brooke]

Last night I happened on to a James Taylor concert called One Man Band. It was great and made me think of Troub cause I know how much she likes him.

[Prettymaid]

OMG Brooke, I just came here to post the same thing! I especially thought of Troub at the very end as it showed James sitting on the stage with his legs dangling signing autographs. Good show!

[EagleLady]

You're Just What I Needed came on the Radio the other day and I thought of Willie.

[TimothyBFan]

:hug: Awww... Thanks EL!!! That's one that Benjamin's beautiful voice sings lead on!

[Troubadour]

Awww, Brooke and Cathy - thank you so much! I needed those warm fuzzies. :hug:

[Troubadour]

I watched 'California Comes to the Whistle Test' earlier, which I have recorded, and the first performance is Poco singing 'Just For Me & You'. Timothy looks very cute, and I thought of Willie straight away.

[TimothyBFan]

:smitten: Doesn't he tho!!! Haven't seen that for awhile.

[TimothyBFan]

Just heard Peace Train by Cat Stevens on the radio and thought of PrettyMaid. Still enjoying his music, Cathy?

[zeldabjr]

I just heard "Welcome to the Jungle" during a hockey game... will always think of Lizzy now when I hear GNR.

Yes I am, among other things....http://i510.photobucket.com/albums/s348/chilca0001/Cat%20Stevens/catposter11.jpgI'll always be a Cat fan!

[Glennsallnighter]

I've just heard 'Fire and Rain' on the radio as the 'car tune of the day'. They play it after the 8am news, then again between 5pm and 6pm. When you hear it the second time you call in and could get a prize.

Of course this song reminded me of our own Troubadour - Lou!

[zeldabjr]

I pulled into a gas station today and sitting there was a black and gold painted van with Pittsburgh Steelers decals, flags, bumper stickers etc..all over it...I had to smile and think of VA!!!

[Troubadour]

Aw, thanks Lis! Only just seen this.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

What a cool van!!! I need one like that! We were just talking today about how the season starts for real in two months!

[sodascouts]

This is more generalized, but I'm teaching William Wordsworth's poetry in my British Literature II class this summer... and he wrote a play called The Borderers (http://www.bartleby.com/145/ww120.html). I'm not teaching it - we're focusing on his poetry - but it's pretty good!

[Troubadour]

Love that!

[Glennsallnighter]

Cool Soda!

[Troubadour]

I was just watching a recorded episode of The Book Show (my current TV 'comfort food') and was reminded of Freypower. Mariella Frostrup said that Mark Knopfler will be a guest on the next show, discussing the influence of literature on his songs. I thought that was probably Julie's idea of heaven!

I might have to download that.

We know of at least one work of literature that shall we say, influenced one of his Dire Straits songs, don't we? Do I have to tell you which one?! :laugh:

There's another obvious one too - the Thomas Pynchon book Mason-Dixon which was the background for the song Sailing To Philadelphia.

[Troubadour]

It will be shown on Sky Arts overnight so I will be able to watch the recorded episode tomorrow. Looking forward to it! Definitely download it if you can.

[Troubadour]

Just watched it. You will definitely want to watch this! He talks and sings bits of three songs (including Sailing To Philadelphia), just Mark and his acoustic guitar, whilst discussing how the song was created and the inspiration behind it. A real treat!

[Troubadour]

I just saw Fleetwood Mac: Live in Boston in the TV listings, which, of course, reminded me of Soda!

[sodascouts]

I'm honored!

[WalshFan88]

Behind The Music Fleetwood Mac episode was on last night and I also thought of Soda... Looking forward to the upcoming tour!!!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Who, Zelda? I can't imagine!! It's a darn shame those three Stanley cups couldn't be in the picture as well, I know how much you like seeing them all together!

[zeldabjr]

driving around today...went by "Soda Avenue"...

[SallyGee]

Went to a craft show yesterday. Saw a bib that said" my godmother loves me". I thought of TT and said a little prayer for Lucas and his family.

[Glennsallnighter]

SG. As I read this before you mentioned TT I Thought of her too!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

AAH SAllyGee ..thats so sweet..
thanks for thinking of me (touches my heart) and the prayers for Lucas( and his family) .
His pop was buried on monday night and she was surrounded by love.
thanks you so much for your kindess
and to you to Glennsallnighter.

so kind to be thought of . Blessings to you both I am greatful:angel::hug::hug:

[EagleLady]

Everytime I look at a picture of Jimmy Page I think of Willie.:rockguitar:

[TimothyBFan]

Everytime I look at a picture of Jimmy Page I think of Willie.:rockguitar:

Then you've been thinking of me a lot lately because you have been posting some gorgeous pics for us in the Zep thread!!! :hug:

[EagleLady]

Absolutely :hug:

[Troubadour]

EL, my heart just skipped a beat when I saw your avatar. Gorgeous!

I don't mean this to sound too morbid (because it actually made me smile), but I was reminded of Julie when I was at my uncle Martyn's funeral on the Friday before Christmas. He was a big Liverpool FC fan and this was mentioned a few times during the service. 'You'll Never Walk Alone' was played as the exit song. It was so moving.

[EagleLady]

Thanks. It was supposed to move but stupid photobucket. :evil:

Oh, wow. I know. I am glad that you found it moving. It never fails.

(Note to self; it probably should be played at my funeral).

[TimothyBFan]

I don't know if this is really where I should put this, but when it happened, I did think of Julie both times.

Had to do some running this morning and when I started the car, the satellite was on The Bridge and playing New Kid In Town, the next song I didn't care for (don't remember what it was) so scanned a few stations and landed on Classic Vinyl which was playing New Kid In Town also. A couple hours later, I had to run back out and Larry had taken the car to the car wash after I had brought it home earlier and sat the regular radio on a local classic rock channel. When I started the car, New Kid In Town was playing. I had to laugh and thought how Julie would of loved to have been riding with me today. :hilarious:

How sweet.

It is my favourite & I now believe their most underrated song.

[sodascouts]

How can a Grammy-winning, #1 hit be underrated?

[Freypower]

The band don't play it live any more & it is now taken for granted that it will never be played live again (see Retrospective Tour thread) and nobody ever mentions it when they talk about their favourite Eagles songs, except me. Even when discussing the Hotel California album it is rarely even mentioned. It's always the title track, LITFL, Wasted Time, VOL & The Last Resort, then after that PMIAR & TALA. NKIT seems to come last.

I don't expect everyone else to share my opinion of it but I believe it doesn't get the recognition or praise it deserves.

[TimothyBFan]

It's become one of my favorites over the years. Back when HC first came out it wasn't but the last 10 years or so, it's became one that I never skip and listen to often.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well Willie - I sure wouldn't have minded being with you - that's for sure. I think there are a lot of people on this board who praise the song. I believe it has finished 2nd in both of our Hotel California Survivor Games and I know I sure gave it high praises when arguing for it. The song also finished in the Top 10 in our Top 40 Eagles Songs poll that we did last year. I don't really consider it underrated either.

[GlennLover]

I love it! I've been playing it a lot lately!

[Troubadour]

I love New Kid in Town, too! I would say it's definitely up there with other Eagles classics like HC, Take it to the Limit, One of These Nights and Lyin' Eyes in terms of popularity. It is one of the Eagles songs I hear played most often on the radio and in restaurants.

[Freypower]

Getting back on track & yes I know it was me who went off track. it was funny that Willie thought of me because not long after I got in the car & the radio was playing Fox On The Run!! So of course I thought of her as I always do when I hear a Sweet song.

[EagleLady]

Don't stop by Fleetwood Mac was on the radio on the way to Walmart Friday and I thought of Nancy

[sodascouts]

I'm honored!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Yep soda has made it impossible to hear fleetwood mac without thinking of her..lol (not a bad thing)

I would like to think that the gals in my office think of me when they think of GF or the boys in the band....

DH equals JOanie, TBS equals BJ and GF well tons of people..lol

Oh yeah and will would be steph uk
all and all not a bad thing ..everythime I think its a happy memory and I have the picture JAHH took up at work in my happy place space for when I get stressed...it takes me back to how happy we all were after seeing them in AC at the revel...
border buddies are the best :thumbsup:

[Troubadour]

I've got iTunes on shuffle and Paul Young's 'Come Back and Stay' came on. I always think of Willie now when I hear Paul Young as she and I share a love of his voice!

[TimothyBFan]

Awww.... Love him!! And one of my favorite rock memorabilia items is an autographed program from Paul that a real sweetheart from England sent me. :thumbsup:

[Troubadour]

I'm in the waiting lounge at the train station and Fleetwood Mac's 'Everywhere' is playing. A guy in his 20s/30s near me is singing along to himself! Of course, I thought of Soda.

[sodascouts]

I heard a cover of that recently and couldn't believe my ears!

[Freypower]

I finally remembered to post that my flights to Brisbane & Melbourne (and Sydney, obviously) were with Virgin Australia whose code name is VA. :partytime: So I was thinking about her at the airports!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Yay!! I'll take all the thoughts I can get!

[zeldabjr]

I saw three huge billboards in and around Buffalo today that said "Captain Morgan"...I thought of someone I know around here

[Tiffanny Twisted]

lol me too (one of the reminders ):soda:

[Houston Baby]

Yesterday I bought the April/May issue of "relix" and it has Stevie Nicks & Dave Grohl on the cover. Who comes to mind? :hilarious:

BTW - great interview with them and I love the photos of Stevie!

[sodascouts]

I've seen that cover and I love it!

I always say I love the fact that people around here associate me with Stevie!

[Prettymaid]

Stevie probably sees her own picture and thinks of you! ;-)

[Tiffanny Twisted]

fri i was in a vinal record shop
they had a handmade clock using the rumors lp cover ...it was awspme and a stevie pocketbook.....each one of a kind handmADE of course nancy came to mind with a smile

[zeldabjr]

anytime I see or hear anything Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks...mind immediately goes to our fearless leader!

[TimothyBFan]

Stevie probably sees her own picture and thinks of you! ;-)

:hilarious: LOVE IT!!!! :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

lol! I'll tell ya what, there are many Stevie hardcores who make me look like an amateur!

[Troubadour]

LOL, Cathy!

[Troubadour]

I was reminded of Willie today when I heard The Cars' 'Drive' on the radio.

I also had a chuckle when I saw a hotel named The Trouville... if I ever set up a virtual hotel, that's what I'd call it. ;)

[TimothyBFan]

I was reminded of Willie today when I heard The Cars' 'Drive' on the radio.


Awe!!!! Thanks, Lou!

An old friend of mine from high school who's now in Virginia, sings in a band (always did) and they have added this to their setlist and when they perform it, he dedicates it to me. He posted a video of it on his FB and tagged me several months ago. I cried when I saw it. I thought that was so sweet. Shortly after we connected on FB again after 30 years, he had posted on my wall that every time he has heard that song for several years, he thinks of me because he remembered how much I loved the Cars and that song. Isn't it funny how even after 30 years, people can still associate certain songs with people?

[Prettymaid]

I think that's great, Willie.

[Troubadour]

Isn't it funny how even after 30 years, people can still associate certain songs with people?

Absolutely. Music is so powerful; there's nothing that really compares to it in terms of the emotional connections we have with songs. The 'soundtrack to your life' thing is a cliche, but it's so accurate. They get us through some of the hardest times of our lives and help us to feel good during the best times. It's so cool when other people associate certain songs or bands with you, too. Your love for Benjamin obviously always shone through, Willie!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

for me music is a specific song does take me back to happy type times in my life..(sad too I guess)
It just is such a powerful part of my life.
When I hear certain music, like a song or artist and I think of other border buddies I thinks its like an angel whispering on my shoulder and sending good thoughts and blessigns to that other person..jmo

I also find...that there is a non eagles song that everytime I hear it, it ususlly is when I am having a hard time...its like a message from my cousin in heaven(she passed at 42 from breast cancer). so for me music is very very powerful

[zeldabjr]

I always think of you Willie whenever I hear anything Cars related...yeah music is pretty powerful and amazing...a gift to us all...I think maybe that's why musicians get the girls...

[Prettymaid]

On my way back to work today from lunch, they started playing the Car's Let's Go on Sirius Radio. I had just read this page, and of course thought of Willie! I cranked that sucker up! I love the synthesizer in it. It's one of my 'party for one' songs. When I'm alone and I hear it I always get up, dance, and have a party for one!

And every time I here Let's Go (which is rather often, as you can imagine), I think of you because I remember you saying that a long time ago. I can picture you bopping in your car to it!! Another one of Benjamin's amazing vocals!

[Prettymaid]

Actually, there's another's Cars song that is on my party for one list...Bye Bye Love!

[Troubadour]

Willie - I absolutely love your avatar!

[Outlawman13]

Ben Orr was such an amazing talent and I agree Willie, he did all of the best songs in the Cars!!!! Love Ben.

[TimothyBFan]

Willie - I absolutely love your avatar!

Thank you, Lou. Yours isn't half bad either! :faint:

[zeldabjr]

Willie - I absolutely love your avatar!

yes Willie...I love your new avatar too...I've never seen that pic before...where did you find it?...oh and I love your signature too...Did you make it yourself?...I'd love to try making one but don't know where to start...

[Troubadour]

Thank you, Lou. Yours isn't half bad either! :faint:

Thanks! He is a cutie, isn't he? :inlove:

[Prettymaid]

On my way to work just now and heard Little Willy by Sweet. Need I say more?

She will probably laugh at this, but I went to see The Big Wedding at the cinema today and I couldn't help thinking all the way through that Diane Keaton reminded me of our very own Prettymaid! True story. :-)

[TimothyBFan]

I was reminded of 2 Borderers on Saturday, Brooke & Prettymaid. We were in a consignment shop looking around and they had a bunch of Fiestaware in several colors. After the conversation in Every Picture thread, I immediately thought of them.

[Prettymaid]

That's great! Love my Fiestaware!

Silly (but true) story about using my Fiestaware. I always rotate them back into the cabinet after they've been washed, so that they get equal ware. Every morning I reach in and grab a bowl for my cereal and a mug for my tea. I always take the 'next in line'. Most days I pull out one color of bowl and a different color mug...BUT - on the days I pull out the same color of both I always say, "Oooh, matching set! It's going to be a good day!" LOL! Kind of like when the stars are aligned! Hubby just rolls his eyes...:roll:

[TimothyBFan]

You can't see me but I'm rolling my eyes right now. :hilarious: Seriously tho, I LOVE Fiestaware but have never invested in it. It is a big expense and with so many kids in and out of my house, I just don't think I want to risk it.

[GlennLover]

Love the Fiestaware! I particularly like the shape of the bowls, as in Brooke's picture. My husband & I have had a mild fascination with it for many years, but had only collected a few pieces, mugs, bowls & pitchers, on infrequent trips to the states. We were going to go for the mix & match look too & have purchased 4 place settings of the Peacock blue. Other colours will have to wait until we get to the US again, probably not anytime soon. We use the odd pieces all the time but I'm keeping the place settings until we get more colours. I find that it's such a strong colour to use by itself.

[Brooke]

Pm, love it! I'd never thought of that and just grab what ever is up front! Now I can see myself saying that if I get a 'matching set'! :lol:

I am rather preoccupied/anal with putting them in my plate rack and open shelving so that the colors are all mixed up though. Never put similar colors next to each other! :hand: :lol:

Thanks for thinking of us TBF!

[GlennLover]

Oh, now that's just weird! :hilarious: Just kidding! :hilarious:

[Troubadour]

I bought a couple of books the other day (F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Tender is the Night' being one of them) and since then I have had the Jackson Browne song of the same name going round and round in my head. It always reminds me of PM, not only because she loves him, but because of the fact that I know she loves the performance in that YouTube vid (as I do)... and that she made some gorgeous screen caps of Kootch from that same video. I've just been looking back at them now. LOVE.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Ooh I love fiestawear too........I have a few odd pieces I use everyday....makes me happy.but I have a serving for 14 in storage...lol all ready for the next house.last year macys had place settings on sale and a 10.00 off coupon so happy me . I got all colors and as my friend dawn says"silly girl mix it all up"

[Prettymaid]

Definitely mix it up, TT, but if you grab a match, well then, it's going to be a good day! Lol

Troub, that video is amazing! (Hope your book is half as good) ;-) I've got to admit, it feels good being thought of! A toast to Peekaboo for starting this thread. :cheers:

[Troubadour]

Yes, I love this thread! I feel another viewing of that video coming on very soon... "I rock. And when I'm not rockin', I rock some more." :cool:

[Brooke]

I thought of Prettymaid this morning when I turned on the radio at work and Take It Easy was playing. My first thought was 'it's going to be a good day!' Then I remembered that that's what she says when she accidently picks out matching fiestaware pieces at breakfast! Now I do that too! :lol:

Oh wow, something that made you think of something that made you think of me! :grin: I like it! It's like Little Things That Remind You of Other Borderers Once Removed!

Yup! :lol:

:rofl:

I thought of Troub this morning when I was going through my email. I receive emails from a local theater about up coming concerts and this one was about Lyle Lovett coming. I know how much she loves him. For the record, I'd go see him if she'd go with me. :grin:

[EagleLady]

Anytime I listen to Zeppelin or a song by the Cars, I think of Willie. :grooving:

Aw, thanks Willie! I would love to go with you.

[Troubadour]

I was reminded of Julie today because I found out that Van Morrison will be playing a local small-town festival in a couple of weeks. Trying to work out if I can go... I would love to see him.

[Glennsallnighter]

Oh good luck Troub! I hope you get to see him. He played an open air gig here last year but the summer was appalling weatherwise so I gave it a miss!

[Freypower]

I was reminded of Julie today because I found out that Van Morrison will be playing a local small-town festival in a couple of weeks. Trying to work out if I can go... I would love to see him.

And isn't that funny, because whenever I hear Van's song Troubadours, which I did last night, I think of you.

I only saw him once back in the mid 80s. Depending on his mood and what he plays it would be worth it.

[Troubadour]

And isn't that funny, because whenever I hear Van's song Troubadours, which I did last night, I think of you.

That made me smile, Julie - thanks!

I'm watching 'Mark Knopfler Plays Avo Session' on Sky Arts 1 at the moment. It's fantastic and, of course, it reminded me of FP.

[Prettymaid]

Ooh yeah, she loves him.

Pm, I thought of you today when I saw a 'Ruby' red Equinox on the road in front of me! Very pretty car (suv)!

[Prettymaid]

Aw, thanks for thinking of me, Brooke! (It wasn't me, I swear!)

[Freypower]

I'm watching 'Mark Knopfler Plays Avo Session' on Sky Arts 1 at the moment. It's fantastic and, of course, it reminded me of FP.

What is that? Which songs?

I have been rather quiet on this subject in recent times. I was expecting a tour to have happened by now & it hasn't so that has dampened my enthusiasm somewhat. I need a fix before August 12 (Mark's birthday).

ETA: I know what it is; it was in Basel in 2007 & it features songs from Kill To Get Crimson.

[Prettymaid]

Watching James Taylor and Carol King at the Troubadour backed by Leland Sklar and Danny Kortchmar. This makes me think of Troub on so many levels!

[Troubadour]

"on so many levels" - haha! Love it. :inlove:

Julie, I hope you get your MK fix soon.

I saw it advertised when we were channel flicking on Friday night and I too thought of FP immediately. He was also doing a programme on guitars I think. Showcasing 5 of his guitars. Once again thought of FP

[Houston Baby]

Last night on a repeat of SNL, during The Californians skit, they mentioned Baja Fresh on the 101. Totally thought of you Christy!! :)

I have seen that. It was excellent; not least because it reunited him with Dire Straits bassist John Illsley. I have been meaning to do some screen shots of it because he revisits Windows in Newcastle, where he bought his first guitar. On our last visit there we passed by it, of course; as hubby used to go there all the time. Shots of Mark walking around near Grey's Monument... :faint:

My 'fix' will probably consist of playing all the Dire Straits tracks on the iPod. Since all the play counts were reset I have an excuse.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I heard Amy Grant's latest song last evening, it's a duet with James Taylor, so when I hear it I always think of Troub.

[Houston Baby]

On the way to lunch I heard a double header - "Seventeen" & "Gypsy". Before The Border I would have thought I LOVE THESE SONGS, now I think I have so many friends that love these songs too, none more than Soda! :grin:

Have a wonderful weekend my friends!!

[Prettymaid]

Thanks for mentioning it, VA. I'd never heard it so I went to YouTube and had a listen. It's beautiful. I've put it in the JT thread.

I listened to those very songs today! Psychic connection? ;)

Maybe OR it is a mutual love of the same bands!! :hilarious: :thumbsup:

[Troubadour]

Aw, thanks VA! The idea that anyone thinks of me when they hear JT makes me all warm and fuzzy!

How sad. I didn't know any of this.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Met one of my new neighbors this evening. He commented on my license plate holder (Pittsburgh Steelers), and then mentioned that he and his wife are Miami Dolphin fans. Which made me think of Dreamer, of course!

I know! I didn't know about it either!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Oh WOW, VA. Sounds like you have some really cool neighbors. I may have to invite myself for a visit! :blush:

And yep - I'm definitely a Dolphins fan. As anyone who has visited me can attest, you will be subjected to this if you decide to be an overnight guest at my place - my guest bedroom is a Miami Dolphins shrine. The good news is right across the hall is my office, which is an Eagles shrine so it wouldn't be hard to sneak in there. :grin:

Unfortunately Rhodes has quite a lot of traffic accidents. It's very laid-back, the roads are winding and the driving is a little scary... Taxis and coaches drive fast and they overtake often. There are beautiful monuments along the roadsides that look like little chapels. We wondered what they were, until the tour guide on our coach trip to Rhodes explained that they were there to mark the site of a fatal accident. The bigger, the more fatalities. It was sad to see - especially as Rhodes is so safe in every other aspect.

Robert has had his share of tough times. What happened to his son was so sad. I remember seeing the footage of him playing as a little boy in the river with his dad and sibling in The Song Remains The Same. I can't even imagine losing a child of that age unexpectedly...

[Glennsallnighter]

And believe it or not, when I read that article I looked at another one on the page, the top 100 classic rock songs. And Hotel California was number 20!

[Brooke]

I have several family members that love Fiesta just as much as I do and are avid collectors, but now whenever I hear about it I think of our own Prettymaid and especially love her thought that 'it's going to be a good day' when she just happens to pick up matching pieces! I think that now too!

Look Pm, we're cool-nationally! See #6 :lol:

[Brooke]

Willie, I downloaded a couple Tom Jones songs the other day, at hubby's suggestion, and it made me think of you and how much you like him! I was actually shocked he wanted any of him. He wanted She's a Lady and while I was checking out his catalog, I remembered Daughter of Darkness and got it too. Now when they play I think of you! :lol:

Love the fact, after this many years of marriage, your hubby can still surprise you with his, obviously, great taste. :laugh:

[Houston Baby]

Austin - we will be going to the EMP Museum in Seattle. They have an exhibit called The History of Guitars. We will definitely be thinking of you!!:rockguitar:

[WalshFan88]

Nice HB! I wanted to go when I was in Seattle a few years back but spent it in the ER instead with pneumonia, lol..

Have fun!!!

HH, VA & I took the Duck tour this afternoon & while we were on the water we saw a boat named DREAMER! It was a beautiful boat.

[GlennLover]

Hey - now that's my kind of boat! :wink: :grin:

[Prettymaid]

You should have taken a picture of it to post here! Dreamer would have liked to see her boat! Lol!

A couple of years ago I went to a Chevy museum in Decatur, IL to see an Eagles tribute band and I saw Dreamer's Cafe! (She really gets around!)

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Lol yes dreamer..looks like u do:bye:

[Houston Baby]

I did take a couple of photos of it but between the bright sunlight & the duck moving, the pics did not turn out. :shrug: But it was funny seeing the name & associating it with a friend!

[Prettymaid]

Here's a link to my picture. Excuse me, it was Dreamer's Diner, not Dreamer's Cafe. Dreamer's Diner has a much better flow, don't you think? Sounds like a good Eagles song title!

Ooooooh PM , I like it a lot! When Laura and I were at the Belfast gig in 2009 we had our tea in 'Joes Diner'

[Tiffanny Twisted]

can I just say that I think it is so cool that we see things and think of other people from the border.

for me it makes my days pass better...like having a hard time at work and hearing dh on the radio makes me think of hh and advenures with her and my mood will change for the better..
Jw always is va since she wore her jw shirt at the revel last year ,(of cousre Va a certain "hubba hubba sweet cheeks gf" reminds me of you too but remember I am at work so I have to keep it PG not x rate where he is concerned.:smokin::smokin::thud::smokin::smokin:
If they play fleetwood mac on the radio or stevie nicks nancy pops into my head ..hands down...:grooving:

Ooh and every time I see "metalic sparkly things" I think of Patty....remember when you said to HH just look for a lady wearing a Metalica shirt and she was looking for a lady in a metalic sparkly shirt"??
And the funny thing was , when I passed by you at the box office I had a "strange vibe feeling" but HH kept saying no "metalic sparkly shirt" lol:rofl::rofl::rofl:of course we all found each other at the bar...

I always feel like its natures way of lightening my mood ...

I just think its so cool.

[Houston Baby]

In Target today I saw a birthday card and on the front of the card it said MAN UP BRO. I thought of HH though she always says MAN UP MARY. :rofl:

[sodascouts]

I had an odd dream the other night with Troubadour in it. I dreamt she was living in the flat above one belonging to Dr. Who (who was real in my dream). We kept waiting around on the stairs and listening, hoping he would arrive in his TARDIS. I woke up before he came!

[Houston Baby]

We were in Hyannis yesterday and took a duck tour like HH, VA & I did in Seattle. And I also saw a man walking who was wearing a Pirates t-shirt & of couse I thought of VA.

Tonight at dinner I heard I Would Die For You by His Purpleness (Prince) and of course thought of TBF!

I forgot to mention that yesterday I saw someone wearing a shirt that said, "Suck It Up Buttercup" and thought of HH!

[Prettymaid]

I always think of Outlawman when I see M&M's- MMM!

She does say "MMM" a lot! Lol!

[lizzyplays]

Been thinking of LizzyPlays. Every night at 7 classic rock station in Louisville has Kerry Casum and Nikki Sixx as DJs.

Awwww I totally missed this post! How funny that I find it now, considering that I'm in FULL ON Nikki Sixx mode from now til August 19th!!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

The weirdest thing happened to me at the grocery store yesterday. I was meandering up and down the aisles and I spotted this lady at the far end. I thought to myself 'Oh that's Deb - I need to catch up with her'. When I was about halfway there, I realized that I thought the woman was our very own Houston Baby that I was going after. Then, the :idea: came on and it occurred to me that I wasn't in Houston and Deb wasn't in Virginia. I felt pretty foolish, but in my defense, the lady was her twin separated at birth. :shrug:

[Glennsallnighter]

That's an easy mistake Dreamer! I have often thought I've seen someone at a distance Only to realise as I approach them that it's someone entirely different!

Oh you'd better call us, HB. You surely don't want me to send Smuggler out to hunt you down! :wink: :grin:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

on our drive out of Chicago, over looking Lake Shore drive , I saw graffiti that read:

"SODA rocks on " with a peace sign in the o of soda.

gotta say , our Nancy came to my mind and a huge smile on my face:thumbsup:

lol

[Houston Baby]

On my flight last night I was reminded of VA & Brooke -

VA - there was a guy wearing a black & gold Steelers t-shirt

Brooke - there was a guy wearing a Cards jersey

:)

[Brooke]

Always nice to be remembered, HB!

My Cards had a good homestand! :yay:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

brooke
my sons gf took him to the cards game on sat to see cole hamles pitch since they were in area for a family thing for her.
He is happy cause it was another stadium he had not been at on his bucket list

I was out shopping last night and I heard Maneater by Hall & Oates. I immediately thought of our very own Tiffany Twisted and her other half, JAHH, which was nice since it's been such a long time since I've seen the two of you. Hopefully, there will be another excellent Eagles adventure for us again in the future.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

oh thanks Kay.
It is actually my favorite hall and oates song.
glad something reminded you of us (lol positively I hope)
we miss you a lot.
but your smiling face is in my prayer book with other border buddies as I remember you all each morning

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - I'm betting we will have at least one more Eagles adventure to share in our future! :thumbsup:

[GlennLover]

I saw Lindsay Buckingham on TV the other day. Of course I immediately thought of Soda!

[sodascouts]

Aw, thanks! You know that "Share a Coke" thing? I got one with "Linds" on it and I'm thinking of keeping it in honor of my man Lindsey Buckingham, lol.

[zeldabjr]

I was just playing Words with Friends...and made the word dreamer...so of course I thought of our own Dreamer!!! hey Kay!!!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Hey Bren! That was sweet of you to think of me. See ya soon, huh?

[Glennsallnighter]

I turned on the TV this afternoon and Sky Arts was on - A Dire Straits concert from 1992. Needless to say it reminded me of FP.

BTW - I've stuck with it - Its very good.

[Freypower]

I would guess that's On The Night in Verona, Italy. :drool:

[Glennsallnighter]

Well it was definitely 'On The Night' and it was very good.

[GlennLover]

I saw 2 members of Spandau Ballet on a morning talk show from Toronto today & I thought of GA & her upcoming concert.

[Glennsallnighter]

Awwwwww thanks GL. I've also got a Meet and Greet with them before the show!

[GlennLover]

Awwwwww thanks GL. I've also got a Meet and Greet with them before the show!

That's great!

[Jonny Come Lately]

I was in an HMV store today (my trip was successful - picked up a copy of Bob Dylan's Desire) and spotted a couple of Dire Straits albums on vinyl, specifically Making Movies and Brothers In Arms. I thought Freypower would approve of the choice of albums not to mention the band!

I approve of Desire too. I absolutely love it. I think it's Dylan's most underrated album. It is full of absolutely wonderful songs starting with Hurricane, Romance In Durango & Sara.

[WalshFan88]

Wish I had taken a pic, but my Coke bottle the other day had the "Share a Coke with" on it and it said "Share a Coke with a Dreamer".

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Too cool, Austin!! You know, she's always been a Dreamer. :hilarious: I'd share a Coke with her if it had some Captain Morgan in it!

You've reminded me, I meant to post this the other day. I'm in the midst of watching all the JAG shows, and in one, Major MacKenzie was asked what she was looking for out of life. She said something like "Same things every woman is looking for. A great career. A great man. Comfortable shoes. Lots and lots of comfortable shoes." I thought of Soda!

[sodascouts]

It's nice to be thought of! ;)

I got one of those Cokes too, Austin, and thought the same!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

You're right, Soda - it is nice to be thought of. Let's don't tell Coke that I don't drink them. :wink: :grin:

And Austin, of course, anytime I come across a discussion about guitars, I always think of you! :thumbsup:

[AlreadyGone95]

After 5 years of searching and thinking that I'll never have this album in my collection, I finally got my hands on a nice copy for a more than fair price. I'm talking about the Buckingham Nicks album. As soon as I saw the cover, I immediately thought of Soda. Not only because she's a Fleetwood Mac fan, but because of her other site BuckinghamNicks.net. That site is where I first heard about the Buckingham Nicks album!

[sodascouts]

Congrats on your purchase! :)

[Houston Baby]

I'm waiting for my flight @ IAH & a guy just walked by wearing a Cards jersey. Wonder who popped into my head? :headscratch: :)

[Brooke]

Hmmmmmmmm, me? :hilarious:

[AlreadyGone95]

I spent last evening with my uncle, hanging out at his house. I had gone outside to check on the cats because of the bad weather we had. When I came back inside, my uncle said "well, the Braves lost to the Cardinals". My first thought was "I bet Brooke is happy". My second thought was "get it together, Braves!" :hilarious:

[Brooke]

Yes, AG, we had a great game! I am lucky to have the Cardinals as my favorite team!

[AlreadyGone95]

I didn't get to watch the game (we found out the score by watching the local 11 o'clock news), but from what I heard, it was a good game.

[Brooke]

I was listening to the Today Show this morning and they were talking about flooding in Houston which made me think of HB and hope she was ok!

[Houston Baby]

Thank you Brooke for thinking of me. I was not in any flooding since I was laid up at home after having been in a car accident last Saturday morning. An UNINSURED driver ran a red light and right into me. Thankfully neither of us was seriously injured but my car is totaled and I had to cancel my trip to NYC to see Don and also my trip to FL to see relatives. :weep:

[L101]

HB - sorry to hear about the car accident and obviously it would have to be an uninsured driver just to make things more complicated. Bad that you have to miss out on Don and your family trip though, but hopefully you get everything sorted without too much fuss and you'll be up and about soon :smile:

[Houston Baby]

Thank you Lacken. I will be meeting with the insurance adjuster tomorrow. We will see.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

OMG HB - I didn't know anything about your accident. Thank goodness, you are okay! :hug:

[GlennLover]

Take care of yourself & good luck with the insurance adjuster!

[Glennsallnighter]

Thank goodness that you are OK HB - that is the main thing. I hope your meeting goes well. I had an uninsured driver hit my car about 15 years ago, again totalling it. I had no luck with her insurance but at least I had comprehensive insurance myself so even though I lost my no claims it could have been a lot worse!

If you can walk away its the best outcome

[sodascouts]

Oh my gosh - so awful, HB! Thank God you are OK!

[NOLA]

Glad to hear you and yours are alright, HB! I hope you'll be able to reschedule your trip to FL in the near future and that you'll get another chance to see Don in concert. Take care. :)

[Brooke]

HB, I'm so sorry to hear about this! Glad you are ok and bummer about your car!

[AlreadyGone95]

I'm in the car listening to the radio while my mom is in Walmart. Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing came on and I immediately thought of FP and her love of that band.

I was flipping through the tv channels last night, and I came across a show called Dreamer's theater. I didn't watch it to see what it was about.

[Glennsallnighter]

A friend gave my 11 year old son a 'Best of Dire Straits' cd for Christmas. He wasn't very familiar with their music up to now but he played it in the car and is highly impressed

Aren't you lucky.:applause:

It's funny that the words 'Dire Straits' can be typed into this topic & every Borderer knows instantly which Borderer comes to mind.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

For sure, FP!

And AG - sorry I'm just getting around to responding to this but, it's been a really busy time for my theatre company. Hope you'll tune in next time. Now, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! :thumbsup:

[Brooke]

While getting ready for work this morning I heard them talking about Sydney, Australia already celebrating the new year and rushed in to see the pictures/videos. Of course I thought of Freypower!

[Freypower]

It's nice to be first!

I thought of the entire Border because there is a track called The Border on the Tony Banks box set A Chord Too Far, which I got for Christmas.:stop:

(Border guard....)

[GlennLover]

An excellent choice of gift if I may say so! :smile:

Out of curiosity, which particular Best Of was it? I know there's a couple out of there and it's of personal interest to me because I first got into Dire Straits by listening to my Dad's Money For Nothing CD.

[AlreadyGone95]

I thought of Chaim, FP, and JCL earlier today when I heard Genesis's Misunderstanding playing over the speakers at Walmart.

[NOLA]

While surfing the 'net for riding apparel, came across a style of men's H-D boots aptly named "Randy." Thought immediately of NMB. :)

[AlreadyGone95]

Earlier today, I was at Books-A-Million, and I came across a book called "The best selling albums". It was done by decade, top 20 for each. I saw Fleetwood Mac's Rumours(#2 for the '70s), and I thought of Soda. I also saw Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms, and thought of FP and JCL. Pink Floyd's the Wall was also there, which again reminded me of JCL. I thought of the whole Border when I saw The Long Run at #20 and Hotel California at #5 for the 70s.

[sodascouts]

You're like me, Kim. Whenever I see one of those books, I immediately look for FM and the Eagles!

[AlreadyGone95]

Just a side note: I ended up buying that book this month.

Yesterday morning, I watched The Price is Right. A lady named Nancy was called down to bidder's row, but I had to do some chores, so I never got to see if the lady made it onstage.

[AlreadyGone95]

I started playing a game called Gummy Drop on my tablet. It features several cities worldwide with different levels. The first city you play is Sydney, which every time I play, reminds me of FP.

[LuvTim]

Freypower, I'm watching the well-known chef, Ming Tsai, and on this week's show he is in Sydney, Australia! I'm learning about a very old and respected butcher's shop, Churchill's. Tonight, Ming is cooking with chef Mark Best.

Sydney is so beautiful.

I hope to visit Australia someday. :-)
