But, how is being polite, kind and elegant related to dating boys? <br />Yeah, she has dated many boys, but why does everyone see that? Why can't anyone see how nice she is with kids and her swifties? She dates boys, her choice. She doesn't dates boys, her choice! She isn't fake. She is so real, afterall she isn't afraid to reveal the true her. <br /><br />People call her heartless, excuse me haters, she wrote a song for a boy who died of cancer. She always puts her fans in front. She is so nice. She is classy, respectful and not afraid to be who's the true her.And what the meme/post said, "she's dated 14 guys in 4 years." Why does that matter anyone? It's her choice. And it's not only the guys who cheated, she also does. She's so very dedicated to music. I deeply suggest you to ONCE listen to her songs, try to understand the lyrics. They're so deep. (no offence. Trying to put my views and feelings)<br />Granger_Ginny13https://www.blogger.com/profile/16509250829190143860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190662.post-83883353205168061602018-02-17T07:35:16.090-08:002018-02-17T07:35:16.090-08:00I think that Branagh has hinted that he may cast p...I think that Branagh has hinted that he may cast people that he has worked with before.

Yes, she's young and lives young and thinks young, but she's just "living the life" of a young, pop star. She writes some songs that are so "catchy" I find myself humming them while standing in line at the grocery without even being aware of it. :)<br /><br />She's a very, very gifted musician.<br /><br />But it's the Adele songs that I will play on Youtube over and over, again, and for the reason you mentioned: She's an "old soul" and sings the songs that a woman of experience and life would sing and they engage us on that level. Plus, I'm a woman in my 40's, so Adele would be the album that I would buy.<br /><br />They are actual opposite ends of the divide in venue, as well. Adele is "technically" considered pop, but she's really not. More adult contemporary where Taylor Swift is unapologetically pop star. So the audience would be different.<br /><br />In the end, we are lucky to have them both.

I think it's primarily adults who buy them to play during some type of assembly for kids, trying to appease the kids with songs they hear on the radio while respecting the parents' desire not to have their kids listening to a song about the most epic orgasm of all time ("Edge of Glory"). Is it really such a big deal if it means the music gets played, rather than having to settle for music NO ONE wants to listen to...like Starship? Because at least this way the kids aren't complaining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190662.post-64157673433846415172015-10-10T09:23:27.464-07:002015-10-10T09:23:27.464-07:00Does anyone remember the name if the restaurant in...Does anyone remember the name if the restaurant in the New Rochelle Mall before it became Peachtree's?

I actually recall the New Rochelle mall fondly. I was born in 1958 so my memories predate yours i think. We had fun at the mall. Skating on the ice skating rink. Going into neat stores like World Imports and making our own sundaes at ZIPZ where you could put all your own toppings on yourself. Oh and you were mistaken, there was no Woolworths at the street level. That was McCrory's. Of course i enlisted in the Army in 1979 and i have only returned home once on emergency leave when my mother died in Jan 1980. You forgot to mention " Greasy Nick's " ( Leno's Clam Bar ) on Pelham rd and Sacconne's Lemon Ice across from Columbus school. And oh yeah Leo's deli on North Ave near NRHS. I know from friends New Rochelle has gone through some hard times but i have also heard it is doing much better now. I sure wish they could have preserved the old City Armory. The loss of the Thruway Diner was like lsing an old friend. Too bad no one thought to get Donald Trump involved in perhaps moving preserving the old Diner and moving to another location.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331837590599505746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190662.post-7707181843632689652015-04-17T06:19:33.145-07:002015-04-17T06:19:33.145-07:00Isn't it great to have a "character"...Isn't it great to have a "character" in the family.

Lest we forget if you ever had to trudge throughout the store to find your mom who was on the polar opposite end, making you walk shamelessly across the store flaunting embrassingly disproportionate pants that dont fit. Just to 'show' her how they look. Or worse, when you would say you're a size 38"w but the measurements would read 42" and it invoked the diet discussion.

He's my favorite author; I even have one of his book covers -- Season of Passage -- tattooed on my arm.<br /><br />I've been meaning to write you for a while, to: A) ask if you ever did find Mr. Pike/Mr. Kevin McFadden, and B) to tell you how much I appreciate your blog. You are eloquent, smart, and pop culture crazy; plus, you seem to host a deep well of compassion that runs through your words.<br /><br />But now I have a C) to write you about, and the most important reason yet. I wanted to extend my heartfelt thoughts around the loss of your grandmother. This is a beautiful eulogy in her honor; my heart is touched. I have my own relationships with my grandparents, though they've long transitioned from this earth. Your grandma would be so touched -- she *is* so touched; her spirit is still part of you.<br /><br />All my best to you as you navigate your healing....<br /><br />My Regards,<br />NathanNathan Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815965197162718139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190662.post-38702275186696323192015-01-26T15:47:40.944-08:002015-01-26T15:47:40.944-08:00Smiles.Smiles.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177794586242294815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190662.post-441614238800402312014-11-30T20:22:50.705-08:002014-11-30T20:22:50.705-08:00Stunning quest there.
