I don't think I have ever heard the verses. Hmmn.

"You told me once dear You really loved me and no one else could come between but now you've left me and love another You have shattered all of my dreams"
- John (bird whisperer)
Many country songs are. :) Sad story, too, as the brothers who wrote that song sold it to Jimmie Davis for something like $50 (It went on to make much much more than that in royalties.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms. When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken, so I hung my head and I cried.

The Civil Wars do this song. I was shocked at the lyrics. the chorus used to be sung by all the good little Christian church kids, me included. telling, no?
- Lnorigb
I know I sang that as a kid, but just the chorus. But somehow, even as a kid, something seemed off to me about the song, like it wasn't as happy as the words seemed.

we even had silly little hand signs too. ick, is what i think now.
- Lnorigb
We may have hand gestures as well, but I don't remember exactly.

Congrats! How has the increase in physical fitness felt? Are you stronger and more energetic?
- Spidra Webster
Having better fitness is great. Used to get winded climbing stairs, not anymore! Unfortunately, my weight loss hasn't helped my bad back issues - been fighting back pain for 5 months. Hard to exercise when you're in pain!
- Ken Gidley
That's too bad. I'm pretty sure losing weight off my gut would help my back issues. Do you do hamstring stretches? My chiro told me (and my experience bears out) that tight hamstrings can pull on things in a way that causes low back pain. Of course, if your back pain is due to disc issues, that's another kettle of fish.
- Spidra Webster
Has this all been due to bike riding or have you had a program involving diet regimen and other exercises? I'm curious because I have chronic pain from disability. As you say, it's hard to exercise when you're in pain. I'm trying to change my eating regimen again as well as exercise even more. I'm curious what worked for you.
- Spidra Webster
I don't stretch enough, but I do have disc issues. Had surgery 15 years back, looking like I may need another go of it. :(

Spidra - the biggest thing for me was changing my diet. I've used LoseIt.com and the companion iPhone app to help me set a daily calorie budget (based on my current weight and the rate I wanted to lose weight - 1.5 lbs / per week), and track all my calorie intake. I log every bite I eat, every day now. I can eat anything I want, so long as I have the room in my calorie budget for the...

"calorie budget" - what an awesome concept :)

The biking has helped with the fitness aspect, plus I found I really enjoy it, so it gives me something to do besides sit on the couch and eat.
- Ken Gidley
Wow! Also, I love the crazy lighting on your cheeks in the third picture, due to your glasses. Either that or it was face-painting day at work again. :-)
- Brian Johns
Brent, it's a simple idea too, and very powerful. It has taken a year to get where I am, but I really haven't felt at all deprived during that time. I still eat the foods I love, just less off them. I had a Philly Cheesesteak and fries at lunch today - well, half a sandwich, and half the fries! Had the other half of the sandwich for dinner.

Brian - I didn't want to wait until the afternoon to replicate the lighting conditions of the middle picture - my photographer (wife) had other things to do... :)

Hrm. Reading an article that describes "...generation Y, defined in this study as those born in 1972-1973 or later." Huh? I've never seen Gen Y attributed to folks born in the 1970s! I guess they can define whatever they want, but yuck.
They go on to cite a survey from the American Association of Law Libraries that said Gen Y was "defined as those born after 1977." I wonder if people are just fudging the labels to make the stats say whatever they're trying to prove.
- LB so u no it's real
You mean people would distort statistics to say what they wanted??? I can't believe it. :P
- caj needs a haircut
Also, this adds to my general theory that most library/archives articles are utter crap.
- LB so u no it's real
I always thought it was 18-20 years for a generation. Baby boomers from 1945 to the early 1960's, Gen X from the early 1960's- early 1980's. Gen Y from there until the late 90's-early 2000's, Millenials from from the late-90's to the late teens.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
The author uses another survey's label of 1946-64 for Baby Boomers, so I guess she only allows 1965-71 for Gen X? If I really cared, I could look at the sources she cites. But I doubt I care that much.
- LB so u no it's real
Certainly not unusual. I've seen The Millennials (or whatever) defined so as to make it the largest generation in history, by making it open-ended. Better tack: Ignore the generation labels. They're mostly meaningless and frequently harmful, as they decidedly encourage stereotyping. Signed, Walt Crawford, "silent generation."

"...It is often difficult to determine a specific population of archivists if information about the population is not available." DO ANYBODY NO WHAT THAT MEANS?
Okay, will some of you guys who were actually there tell me how the joke ends?!
- Eivind
Well, it ended with LB going back to her hotel room and Julian, Jim and myself returning to our respective homes. It wasn't all that funny, but we had a good time.
