Anniversary and Chicken Lips

Hi everyone.

Yesterday was a one year anniversary of two significant events in my life.  The first was Amy and I moving into our home and the second was the beginning of my disability.    It is boggling to me.   Seizures, surgery, radiation and chemo typically contribute to a very bad year.  The truth is that this was one of the finest that I have seen. 

I have discovered a strength and power that I had no idea were inside me.  I also learned that living in fear is the greatest waste of your life there is; horrible things will happen to you and those around you so stop worrying and start hugging.  More importantly, I was reminded how fortunate I am because there are people near and far who care for me.   So to all of you who prayed,  sent good thoughts and helped myself and Amy through this year, thank you so very much.

....and now for something truly funky......

Remember those songs from childhood that were great at grossing out your mom?  Can you summon such hits as Great Green Globs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts and The Old Family Toothbrush, or has MS Outlook shortcuts and American Idol reruns stripped out all of the words except a few precious phrases?  Now you can polish up on the full lyrics so you can appropriately pass these gems on to the next generation. 

Two aging but still freaky folks, the GrandFolkies, have a website for you.  Not only are the full lyrics available, you can also stream and download the actual songs as performed by the Grandfolkies.  If you bounce around the site and find the homepage, you will be treated to an actual photo of the nutty couple and links to other categories of music they have recorded on fiddle and auto harp.   I suggest you follow the link, learn the song Chicken Lips, sing it to your boss and vow to age in a disturbing way.

Ah, the Great Green Globs song. There are different versions and here is my fav...

Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts, Mutilated monkey feet, Chopped-up baby parakeet, And I forgot my spoon.

So give me a sandwich with puss on top, Monkey vomit and camel snot,
French-fried eyeballs dipped in goo, Have some, Mom, it's good for you!

I am so scared to visit that link. I think I may be getting old, as the "Great Green Globs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts" reference just literally made me gag.

Gag! Gag!

On a happier note, I am so glad you're feeling good!
