:stir: Wilson, staying at House's apartment. :wacko: Wilson, talking to House on any given day. Or, perhaps: :roll: :curse: Oh, this is Wilson while he's making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I think we could make an entire House episode just by using these emoticons. cindylouwho, my thoughts are with you. ::Hugs::

I think we could make an entire House episode just by using these emoticons. Wilson gazes at House :wub: And House responds :winkiss: And Cuddy walks by :hammer: And House looks :innocent: And Wilson looks :blushing: And Foreman goes :roll: Chase goes :thumb up: And Cameron goes :hang:

LOL!! You win at life hwshipper

I know this is OT on the smileys, but I have been off for two days and am trying to catch up. (Big storm knocked out power for over 20 hours, then when it came back on again I lost my interwebs after one post. Then my husband got "shanked" in a carjacking and I had to meet him at the ER. Don't worry, he is going to be OK and we still have the car.) Anyway, 407, CONGRATULATIONS!! Excellent marks! Don't worry about the C in Maths. Who the hell cares about math, anyway. Radiosweetheart: One of them damned secular humanists. Oh, yes. Count me in. Here's another John Prine for you. http://www.jpshrine.org/lyrics/songs/jpflagdecal.html Oh and back on the smileys, Very Nice, hwshipper!!!!

Then my husband got "shanked" in a carjacking and I had to meet him at the ER. Don't worry, he is going to be OK and we still have the car. Holy crap, Nursie! I'm so sorry to hear that. Glad to know he's doing okay. Much stress in your life in the past two days.

wow RNwannabe, that's some scary stuff. I'm glad to hear your hubbie is going to be ok.

Yeah, he was stopped at a gas station and a man came up to him and said "I need your keys". He turned around and said "Huh??" and the man came up at him with a knife. Hubby reached out and grabbed the knife from the guy (by the blade!) As H said, if he was going to get cut, he would get to pick where (I guess the guy was going for the throat!). He has tendon and nerve damage to his two small fingers of his right hand, but the surgeon says the prognosis is good. I was at the hospital with him for three hours (waiting for a hand surgeon) before I said "Where's the car? (such restraint on my part!). I went over to the gas station and there was the car, keys hanging out of the driver's side door. Four hours after the incident. Go figure. Anyway, Hubby is zonked out on the couch right now (on Vicodin, of course) and I get to play Nursie. I guess that's what I went to school for. :) Timing is everything. The last time I saw him (this was ~3 years ago, I think) he prefaced by saying "I hoped I'd never have a reason to play this song again." It's all together too appropriate for the political climate. I just want to state for the record, I'm against the next war, too.

Nursie! That's awful! So glad to hear everything turned out OK. I love that song! The last time I saw him (this was ~3 years ago, I think) he prefaced by saying "I hoped I'd never have a reason to play this song again." It's all together too appropriate for the political climate. Sam Stone is too, sadly. I remember hearing Prine perform Sam Stone back at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in 1974 when I was a mere college sophomore. Prine, of course was part of the legendary Chicago Folk scene from the 70s. Steve Goodman, Bonnie Kolock, Prine, Bob Gibson (although he didn't settle on Chicago quite that early), the Holstein Brothers, Jim Post, Mike Smith et al. They were like Second City but for music. It was truly a golden age for folk music back then (unfortunately fueled by the war). Protest music is back again. I remember telling my old singing partner that I was going to fish out all my old protest songs, Phil Ochs stuff, Tom Paxton, etc. and start performing it again. THat was in 2002. I wasn't serious. Then. It is sort of like deja vu, in that my kids are the same age I was back in the early 70s (high school and college) and they express many of the same sentiments and cynicism I did back then. And I can't say that I blame them.

RNwannabe, my goodness. What a nightmare. Glad to hear your husband's going to be all right. Wow, grabbing the blade and everything. Eek.

It was truly a golden age for folk music back then (unfortunately fueled by the war). Oh my gosh!! A walk down memory lane!! The Old Town School of Folk Music is still going strong, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. They have relocated to North Lincoln Avenue between Montrose and Wilson, and hold concerts at the Harris Theater at Millenium Park (I currently work across the street!) Ed Holstein still teaches guitar there. Memories, indeed!

sasmon I was on the staff when I was in college...and my older brother was part of that OTSFM group (fred, ed and stevie were all friends of his from back in high school, even). He ventured off into rock and country, though (my bro.). My dear friend and former singing partner is the head of their recording arts program (and a fab bluegrass musician). (BTW--I'm a fellow Chicago person) Prine, of course was part of the legendary Chicago Folk scene from the 70s.

Nursie, Sorry to hear about your husdand. That's awful. I'm glad he's doing well. All this talk about John Prine is making me nostalgic. My parents are 57, and grew up with folk music. My mom has six siblings and they all played guitar and sang. Almost all our family parties consists of everyone kicking back with a few beers and singing songs by John Prine and Tom Paxton. I wish more people my age were into folk music... Re: Smilies
