My "worm songs" (hehehe) have been in my head for years, I always wind up singing them around the house - "Dream a Little Dream of Me" it's an oldie isn't it! I think it's beautiful. Apparently it was number one in 1968 and sold 7 million copies world wide. Originally by Fabian Andre and Wilbur Schwandt. Lyrics were written by Gus Kahn."Stormy Weather" is another one, and I just read the original was written for Ethel Waters to sing in the 1933 edition of the "Cotton Club Parade" ... 1933 Love it Nice thread Ern, I'll be singing "Uptown Girl" later I just know it (I just read about jackass, so sorry Ern)Linzi

I was dreaming up a revenge on those neighbors when they were evicted and I did not have to think of them anymore. Good riddance. Woo, baby! Sounds like what I experience with My neighbor!My wife is currently in bed crying like a baby over our friend next-door. She's a basket case. I don't know what to do. We can't move, we can't rent our place due to this psychotic.Maybe we'll CAMP for awhile in the mountains! --- Yea, THAT'S the ticket!!!!! Anyone want to cat-sit and enjoy a condo with 2 pools, a jacuzzi tub, and views to die for during early September for FREE?*****************************************BTW, my latest "song" is "Low Rider" by WAR. They play that OVER and OVER on L.A. radio. I like it, BUT --- Ern

Mental illness is a tricky thing to deal with, because the person's reality feels so real to them, and they are often unaware that what feels normal to them is often very dramatic and spills over into the lives of others . . . often their pain is so big that that is all they can see and feel (hence the inability to think about how they impact others).So how do you take care of yourselves when you have a hurricane living next door? Thanks, Suz --- It's been VERY hard. Our consulting psychiatrist has read his emails and has said he's a Paranoid Psychotic. BUT, he believes the man is not schizophrenic, even though he has audio hallucinations, because he can basically function in society (to a point).I don't know what to do. We've been dealing with this for almost 4 years. --- We're suing this poor soul and his wife, but just found out that the case won't come up before a judge until March, 2009. In the meantime, we're trying to get another restraining order, i.e. a preliminary injunction which I hope will be made permanent.********************************************Anyway, back to the topic: "Bali Hai" from "South Pacific" is going now through me pea-brain! AAAAUUUGH! Ern

I dread the Christmas season at times 'coz they always play, "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" and I know that song is gonna be stuck in my head for days on end.
