But, nice to meet you anyway!

No, of course not! Looking forward to sharing with others. Saw someone had to referred to you as "mama bear." That's a good sign. Everyone needs a good mama bear to nurture and kick in the butt, too, when necessary!   

Have a great day!

We do enforce rules:  http://ioplist.org/showthread.php?tid=1

Just a heads up.

I do hope you are the blockhead with whom I was friends a few years back.  I have changed my name yet again.

Nonetheless, am looking forward to your posts.

Sent this to myself by accident. (I don't expect the other to be counted toward my number.)

I was advised to read when i joined here and reading helped greatly - with inspiration for posting etcetera.  The other one to read and read again is the Rules as it is very easy to post and break one of the rules if not refreshing oneself by re-reading.  I look forward to reading your posts.

Hi BlackSocks (wish I had that name!) Nice to meet you. 

Thanks for the advice to read and keep reading. I appreciate it bc as you mention I'm thinking I'll need help with inspiration to post. It's kind of like once the hellos are over, now what do I say?? Again, good advice appreciated.

Hey Izzy76, No, unfortunately. (Had to look up Ian Dury, if I'm being honest) I'm more of a Lou Reed kinda gal lol.

Nice to meet you!

one of my favorite songs: Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.


Candy came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She sayes, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side


And the colored girls go,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

I apologize if i have offended anyone by usage of those lyrics. i got away with one line from a leonard cohen song about he and janis joplin at the Chelsea hotel. But, i was gonna "X: out the term of art for color of skin. But then it would not be the lou reed song we all loved. But i do apologize to any i offended.

Well sorry Blockhead59 for shortening ur name

I did not mean any disrespect to you!

And I know you did not think so 

Okay my friend?

It happens all the time with a lot of members so don’t think a thing about it

We like u just how your name is Ok

Anyway that is all all is good

And great song lyrics from a classic Charon

Hi Charon,

I love that song, too! One of his best. Also, appreciate your disclaimer. I know there's a debate on whether people should should let the author speak for him/herself, or whether we should substitute offensive words with less offensive ones. Topic for another day and time.

Back to LR, I also love Ecstasy from 2000. Can't believe it's been that long. Such a great song (and album). I am older than I believe. lol

Love it, Charon. I was born in Brooklyn, but lived for 15 years in the heart of the Village. Practically lived at CBGB throughout the 70's. Saw Lou there as a performer many times, and also saw him as a patron! An incredibly talented man, critical thinker and social critic. Thanks for bringing those memories to mind.
