I heard this one over Christmas,  Ruptured and hysterical i was for hours after.

Young Girl going out on the town.
Granny says " you cant go out like that, your top is see through
you have no bra on and i can see your rosebuds!
At my age Gran i can show my rosebuds to whom ever i like.

Next Morning Young girl finds Granny sitting at the table with her boobs on show.
Gran! you cant be doing that! Why not says Gran, if you can show your rosebuds
I surely can hang out my Hanging Baskets!  lol

I do feel you could have lots more  verses here. Laughing all through it. When im abroad i walk the beaches for hours. One day many years ago i found myself on a part of the beach were everyone was naked.. Not one pretty sight did i see.
The human form is divine to me but age and nakedness " No Thanks" Heres a image that stayed with me!
One very old Gentleman. Starkers, Hunckered down in the dunes. Looked like to me he had  way over over cooked his breakfast roll. Yuk.
As for myself, sure im only massive stripped naked!!!  Not really i feel i look like a well worn old road map/ lol Done to much traveling i guess!

Well done Girl.

Hello Topdown
,
You have earned the right to your sadness and tears, so let them flow and rage if need be for you.
The reason i came to Chordie was because my young baby Sister died. Yoingest of 11 in family.

An absolute heartache to all. The missing doesn't go. The physical missing is even worse.
God Almighty  i dont know how id cope if i lost one of my sons.

Death is a concept that refers to endings. Endings need boundaries. Your dimensionless self
has no Bounderies. You are and will be always with your Son.

My heart crys  for and with yours in this time and space Topdown,

Dia Linn { God To You}

My positive thoughts to you and your Family.

Hi Forum.
As my own pc has blanked again. I would like to place this piece here.
Its for  a very special Person in my life. Will it ever have music? Id like to think so.
Maybe when My Pc returns it will take on a life force.
For you my Soul friend, for the best christmas and new year in a very long time.
You have showered me with so much love i feel reborn. I graciously accept the very essence of you and "Thank My Higher Power!

Strong Boxes.
My baby's on the move
new pastures he has found
stepping down a stair unto
strong footing on the ground.

His past is all in boxes
full of life's collected dust
some have gathered music
other memories left to rust.

Strong boxes hold his words
written over years
Stories songs in poetry
signed sometimes with tears.

Some boxes hold the sadness
of days he loved but knew
A love he thought was lasting
was anything but true.

New boxes hold new times
there light and pretty to
they hold a new beginnings
a space for me and you.

the magic in the new ones
holds love and mystery
whispered words into  my ear
My miracle is you.

I hold your face inside my hands
your heart inside my head.
our box is full of precious things
acceptance of what is.

We have removed the boundaries
We have harmonized our lives
everything we know is true
just us to idolize

The love i feel inside me
when you explore my need
Our love that is so natural
as life force to a tree.

.Enjoy your new home Darling
giving is the key
i thank the lord every day
your new ground has found  me...

Hi Abbey9317,

Dont be discouraged. I was in my ahem} fifties. I remember it all as you said.
Now there are chords i still cant play, but for now happy enough. I also sit with the guitar every
chance i get just going through picking. Its easy even if talking to someone. They become acoustomed to the sound. As one person said to me recently " Thats so relaxing to listen to".

So good luck to you.

Funerals here on the Emerald our Like big parties.

We have the old fashioned tradition of waking the dead. Some of these where the  Best Gatherings i ever attended.  Some people here love funerals so much so we have named them
"Scut The Coffin" I was at one some time ago and as the coffin slowely moved away they played "Smoke Gets in your Eyes" the elderly deceased party piece . I personally was nearly scraped off the floor laughing. God i nearly busted my gut that day.
Some Churches refuse to allow music other then hymns.
My oldest brother wants a New Orleans type funeral. with all the brass and stuff.
My young Sisters funeral Mass was full of Jim croce, Joan Baez, bette Midler.

I also attended a funeral recently. While waiting for the hearse to arrive, i was talking to the grave digger.  I was asking him was he ever short one when stock takng? lol   He pointed out a beautiful New big headstone recently installed.  On the front it says.
I have no problem dying, i just dont want to be there! when it happens!  Now i wouldnt mind sharing my journey with the owner of that grave!. lol

These are just 2 of my chosen pieces for my  Funeral Mass.

Hi James,

This is soooooooooooo good. Our own leader at the moment is being tested big time.

We now it seems have a new Party Here? The Brown Bag Brigade.!

While we all worked hard and struggled here in the eighties,  Some of these yahoos were
passing around millions as backhanders in brown bags. Do you know James whats even more
funny? none of them on mature recollection can remember one red cent of it with the latest enquiry? Our Leader the then minister for finance, had no bank account but had managed to save nearly 80,000 punts in a drawer. Well now James. didnt he just have the right idea. Nothing to declare.
I remember one of the logos at that time was " People of Ireland tighten your belts and keep your nose to the grindstone.
Well we did, and never seen one brown bag being exchanged. We were to busy paying enormous taxes to fill there brown bags for them.
Oh Saints preserve us this coming year! I think ill move to Peach street Atlanta lol
