Glad to know he is good enough to be back at home, Travis. Dementia is hard. Maybe you are right and he need a few days to get used to his space again. He has been in the hospital for a while.

[Stephanie]

Good to hear your grandpa is back home :) hope he gets settled in :) Dementia can be so hard :( keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I had blue moon once...but it was a milkshake so it probably doesn't really count as beer ;)"

I don't really drink beer but if I do, it's always a guiness. It's so good.

[Tasha]

Happy birthday, Stephanie! Glad you had a great day. :)

Aw, Travis, that's sad to hear about your gpa. It's really tough when things like that start happening. Hopefully he will settle down and feel better being home soon.

[Travis]

Yeah hopefully he gets ibto the groove of things after a few days. Been gone almost a month so.

[Tasha]

He's going through so much and probably not able to really talk about it (that older generation) and so he may be taking it out in other ways.

[Lisa]

Glad to hear that your grandpa is back at home, Travis. I hope he settles in soon.

[CFDeeDee]

My busy days are over i guess .. I had my first art gallery yesterday, it was a great experience, very successful, people from other countries also joined in which was very nice :D
I hope its not my last gallery

[Tasha]

congrats, sounds wonderful!

Glad to hear your grandpa is home, Travis. I hope he settles in. Dementia takes all shapes and sizes, and change is difficult.

Congratulations! :)

[CFDeeDee]

Thanks guys, really appreciate the support :D

[Stephanie]

Congrats, CFDeeDee :-)

[CFDeeDee]

Thanks Stephanie :)

Glad your Grandpa is home, Travis. Hopefully he's just a bit disorientated after being away so long.

Grats on the exhibition, CFDeeDee, and Happy Birthday, Stephanie! Sorry I missed that before.

[Stephanie]

Thanks, Rusalka :-)

We went to the bookstore today but I didn't find anything I wanted to by. I'm going to check out the used book store here soon :)

[Mariab]

Sorry for your Grandpa's health, Travis, is good he is home, though.

Congrats CFDeeDee, and wish you a lot of success.

[Sarah]

Good to hear your grandpa is home Travis. As others have said, hopefully just getting used to his surroundings again.

[CFDeeDee]

Thanks guys :D great support energy heading this way ;D

@Stephanie Don't you just hate it when you can't find the book you need? Specially if you planned it for a monthly challenge!

[Stephanie]

Oh my goodness yes :-) there was a sale for buy 2 get one free but the original price is so high!!!

[CFDeeDee]

I hate such offers, they're actually covering the cost of the free one, their prices are actually lower out of these offers

[jaxnsmom]

Just catching up on all the posts and there's been a lot going on.
Glad you had a fun b'day Stephanie and Congrats CFDeeDee. Love all the dog and beds stories. As far as beers, I prefer a good stout. My ex used to brew beer and got pretty good at it, but the house got quite hoppy :)

In December I went to my dad's for a visit. After we picked up my brother's kids one day, we went downtown to a part of the Blackwater Trail. It’s also the location of the Lynchburg LOVEwork, where we took pictures. The L features shoe cut-outs for walking/hiking; the O has children's bicycle wheels, the V has canoe paddles attached, and the E has skateboard wheels.



I didn't make any New Year's resolutions, just hoped that this year would go more smoothly than last. So to start off I was late to work every day last week. Let's see what happens this week.

[Stephanie]

Oh my goodness, jaxnsmom!!! We've been to that LOVEworks sign :-) it is soooo cool!!!!! It is my favorite that I've seen so far!

[CFDeeDee]

Thanks J'smom.
Speaking of New Year Resolutions, I never git the idea of that. So I never made one ..
I wonder what would happen if it didn't work or if you just simply forgot that you actually made a resolution

This is what usually happens to everyone.

Man... and now Bowie. So sad.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Cool picture! Thanks for sharing.

Ziggy played guitar
Jamming good with weird and gilly
And the spiders from mars
He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man
Then we were Ziggy's band

[Travis]

The weird thing is Bowie was Weilands idol. In fact if you look at the last 10 years Weiland was so thin giving him the prominent cheek bones amd the short hair then if you get a chance to see Weiland live on video in past decade his body language really almost seemed like Bowie was on stage.

[Sarah]

I am gutted about Bowie.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

My favourite (besides everything about Labyrinth OBVIOUSLY) is Life on Mars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v--Iq...

But nothing beats Dance Music Dance

[CFDeeDee]

Who's Bowie?

Google my friend .. Help me out XP

[Travis]

Ziggy Stardust, space oddity and rebel rebel is it for me. But I appreciate his influence on so many bands I love through the years

[Rusalka, Moderator]

CFDeeDee wrote: "Who's Bowie?"

David Bowie, CFDeeDee. Musician, artist, actor, cultural icon. Long career over 50yrs. Died this afternoon of cancer.

I do like Space Oddity as well. Guessing you've seen the version by Chris Hadfield in the International Space Station. Just beautiful.

... I just read this has been put back up on youtube today in honour. If anyone hasn't seen it, it's pretty amazing to see inside the ISS and Earth from there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrHHs...

I liked this quote from him about just that, and Nirvana in particular. Made me laugh and laugh. Spoilered for one rude word if anyone isn't keen to see.

Sorry its a bit small, Goodreads limits me in width. The website is https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CYbblyTWY... if you can't read on a phone.

It's very sad about Bowie.

[Travis]

Holy crap I completely forgot abput the man who sold the world. And Cobain always announces it as a David Bowie song too. Maybe there are more pf his songs I',ve forgotten. My forgetter works better all the time. Its the rememberer that os faulty

[CFDeeDee]

Hmmm so that who he is!
Never heard of him before, but maybe I listened to one of his songs .. Not really sure about that though.

[Mariab]

Yes. Very sad.
The best ones are going away... who will write our music now?... No, please, don't answer that...

[Rusalka, Moderator]

We have many more hits with the lyrics "Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby..." to look forward to, Mariab :P

[Travis]

Turns out I had forgotten more Bowie songs than I remembered this morning. Youtubeing oh yeah that one and that one and that one. Silly me.

[Travis]

Actually in the world of rock we have a number of UK bands getting airtime right now. And he draws a blank Bring Me the Horizon and Royal Bloods are 2 must be at least 4 other ones right now I can't think of. And I want to say 1 Australian

I was invited to join, but I figured it would be too crazy at first. I have been checking on the posts, and I agree. She needs a hug and more mods. Too bad people are so crazy!

[Travis]

I have no ibterest in Emma Watsons group, or any other group I have enough already. But anyway what does interest me is the crazy amount of members. Yesterday or Saturday I looked it had 59,000. Today it is up to 75000 or thereabouts. The largeat group I'd seen before was somewhere around 10,000

[Anne (Booklady)]

Bowie and Freddie Mercury singing together, a Capella, AMAZING!!! Just the lyrics, no video.

Man, he wrote great tunes - gonna miss him

Me too. I've got youtube going now and I'm surprised how much of the lyrics I remember.

Me too. My sister texted me yesterday that he'd died of cancer. And relatively young. My son wore his Bowie t-shirt yesterday. A great loss to the world of music.
