This is one of my favorite Rob and Kristen moments.
Subtle.
Protective.
Rob knowing how nervous Kristen is...
And letting her know that he is right there.
Next to her.
Watching out for her.
Taking care of her.
Right now...
The tide of the gossip tabloids is changing.
It really was just a matter of time.
Even the terminology has changed...
Rob is no longer Kristen's EX boyfriend...
Oh no.
Now they are the COUPLE that was presumed
to have broken up.
It's amazing.
Thing is... it's still bullshit.
Sources confirm.
Exclusive super secret insider claims...
Even when it's something you want to believe...
You can't.
And here's something else...
What source told anyone that they had
ever broken up to begin with?
I love how everyone just assumed that the
relationship was over.
Who said?
Did I miss the press conference that Rob and Kristen gave?
Was there a press release stating this?
I've had people tell me that Rob is horrible
because he has left Kristen to fend for herself.
Really?
What would you have him do anyway?
"I love her, I love her, Leave her the fuck alone"
Right.
Like that would make any difference anyway.
Do you think the haters would stop hating?
I'm guessing it would just make things worse.
Besides the fact that Rob and Kristen
don't owe us any explanations
Don't owe us anything.
You know what I think?
(Too bad because I'm gonna tell you)
(Too bad because I'm gonna tell you)
That although Rob and Kristen may have
stepped back for a few days...
He never really left her.
Not really.
Whether he was by her side...
or on the other end of a phone.
Rob was still taking care of her.
Still watching out for her.
Because that is what Rob does.
That is what kind of man he is.
And he would never just turn his back
on the woman he loves.
Loves.
Present tense.
Future tense.
You know how it goes...
It was true then
It's true now
and continues to be true.
Rob and Kristen
ALWAYS
End up
TOGETHER.
And that fact...
That TRUTH
is making a lot of haters
VERY nervous.
But the heart wants what it wants...
And Robert's heart
belongs to Kristen.
I think you should probably get used to the ride.
I think you should hang on tight...
I think that while every relationship has it's ups and downs
Rob and Kristen
are heading up and up and up...
Together.
This post is brought to you by Smiles.
You can tell a lot by how someone smiles
at someone they love.
Whether its the love of your life...
Or at the most precious person
in your life.
Smiles.
Until next time.
Bye for now

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 341 of 341@ Pattybg - the reading is going to suck me in - I feel it coming :)
@DK
I'LL BE TWIRLING IN MY DREAMS TO YOUR SONGS!
PATTYBG :)
@Ginger
Lucky you, bday girl, a Kindle!
@Patty
Goodnight! Twirl in any case, as I may not get songs posted tonight. Still doing my Christmas stuff, "dispatched & gone" project tonight.
@Annie & PL
Yummy, coffee and tea talk. Love it.
@DK Yuppers it was very nice and pretty over the top gift for a friend as was the other stuff but I am enjoying it - I am not good with gifts.
DK,
What's cooking?
I missed out on the coffee talk last night :( I'm a tea girl 100% I could do with coffee once a week. I do love coffee cake though.
Annie I don't drink alcohol either (I don't fit the Irish stereotype)
Have to do the housework now but I can barely walk after a tough Pilates class yesterday =)
ali mac,
Thanks for the Downton Abbey plug. I am sure Shirley will be a fun addition. One of these days I am going to try Pilates-good for you! Off to work soon.
Have a nice quiet day Roseland!
If you all want a little titilating news, try the election news. Pretty entertaining and pertinent.
Hi birdie I would recommend Pilates to anyone. I must say I always enjoy following the American elections, I think you can enjoy it a lot more as an outsider , when it effects your day to day life it can be very frustrating. You will love Shirley in downton:)

Good Morning ROSELAND
PL, ALI MAC, ANNIE,KAMI, DK,BIRDIE, DK, OLIVIA,GINGER,ONEHEART, and precious PATTYBUG and anyone I may miss...HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!
I agree with you PL...I will gladly talk about any number of topics besides gossip!!!!
I love my old Kindle for ordering my books and then I read them on the I Pad or I Phone...what convenience..
About coffee...I think I have told this story before...My mother always drank instant Tasters Choice Coffee and it was AWFUL....lol...but when I went off to college I bought a percolator ...yes...I told you guys I am OLD as DIRT....and my friend down the hall would come every morning and we would have coffee before we went to class...I used to brew a chicory coffee called LUZIANNE..My coffee has gone rough many different stages in all these years but for the last 3-4 years I drink coffee from a Keurig ..I always drink it black..my favorite K Cups right now are Paul Newman Organic, KONA, and Caribou...I confess to about4 cups a day...
Happy Days Everybody:)
Oops...through...not rough. Ugh
Morning,
I missed the coffee talk, but I go to bed early as I am up early. This time of year I love the pumpkin spice coffee and pick up the creamer at the grocery store.
I have a small coffee maker at work and make my own....mmmmm
Its Friday! and I am looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully all my efforts to get rid of the germs this week will be fruitful, and time away from the kids will help them get rid of their sickness. Fingers crossed!
Have a great day everyone.
Good morning Ginger, Super, Dreamerkind, Patty, alimac, JMF, Litmom Annie, and all the Roselanders...My post is starting out like the Waltons..Good morning John Boy. LOL
Super I missed the coffee talk. It's amazing to see how far we have come with coffee. All the new flavors are so good...you put chocolate in anything and it's going to become my favorite. LOL I love hot chocolate too. Lots of good conversations go on while sippy the brew. I bet you have good memories of that with your friend from college.
Ginger your house sounds like mine. Computers everywhere. You are going to love your Kindle Fire. I love my kindle and it so addictive. My husband and I were laughing the other day, we don't leave home without them. We went to the mall the other weekend and he took his kindle with him to set and read while I shop. LOL Well when we left we put our bags in the car and were driving down the interstate, and all of a sudden he said OMG. He pulled off on a ramp jumped out starting slinging stuff in the back seat yelling where is it? Where is it? I was looking at him like he had lost his mind. He runs around to the trunk to look and I hear him say Thank God!!! He gets in with his kindle. Looks over at me and says I thought I left it at the mall. I'm just glad he found it because I don't think he would have recovered from it, if he lost it. LOL
I do know you can transfer your books to a new one but poor thing he's bonded with his kindle and I don't think he could have stood it. ROFLMAO
Hope all of you have a fabulous Friday and a super weekend.
SUPER we don't have all those flavoured coffees available in super markets over here, you can get all sorts in coffeehouses but we haven't quite caught up on all that yet :)
ONEHEART I love your Kindle story very cute! :)
Hi to JMF as well good luck avoiding the germs.
My keurig coffee is Caribou ...with international delight french vanilla creamer...whipped cream on top...and crushed oreo cookies.
Alimac..I'm from the South and Super and all the other southerners here can vouch we have all kinds of stories. LOL
Have a great day everyone..Work calls so I must answer. LMAO
TTYL
Good morning all!
I know I'm going to miss someone if I start listing names, so.......
Morning! Morning! :)
Ali mac : Toss out those stereotypes........Many of my Irish friends don't drink at all. :)
Oneheart: We must talk about Kindle vs I-Pad. :)
Super: It's time again for us to get creative with our oatmeal in the AM. I added honey to mine one morning. :)
With all the talk of Hot chocolate.......Has anyone ever tried spicy hot chocolate? Yummy!
Also, if there's to be a choice between milk chocolate and dark chocolate........For me it's dark chocolate all the way.
Have to go but will be back on soon. It's Friday so I have the afternoon off.....Lucky me.
Cheers!
Forgot to mention.......
Bubblejoi......Thanks for bringing over the great news about the success of the SWATH DVD and Florabotanica. :) :)
It is possible to speak of their successes and not dwell on their personal lives.
Great post as always Rose!Hi to all the regular here...I always love to read all your positive comments and make me smile that's one of many reason I come here not only Rose blog is amazing but the ladies here that commented are hilarious,witty,respectful.I cannot help but put one comment from me that I really appreciate how lovely to read all the comments here and it goes also to the owner of this wonderful blog.thank you all!!!
Annie, I know just like not all Russians drink vodka and not all Germans love to drink beer lol I like my guinness in a steak pie though lol yummy. Enjoy your half day :)
I like to eat a bar of milk chocolate but it has to be Cadbury's (don't know if you know it) nothing else comes close. However if it's a chocolate mint it has to be dark chocolate.
Krisea1112: Hello and welcome. Glad you enjoy it here. :)
Ali mac: Another busted stereotype....All people from England drink tea.
I know some folks from England who will not drink tea! :)
Ok......Going, going, GONE!
Bye. :)
It's nice to know that swath DVD and florabotica perfume are successful that people are continue to support kristen.I can't wait to have it.I continue to ignore or visit the gossip site because if I want to know I just come here,I believe the people here than the nonsense gossip blog or site.I can't wait to see kristen and rob.I miss them.I continue to believe and supported them.
@Annie thank you;)
A bit late to the party but @Rose thanks for the perfect words again. Great minds think alike, haha only messin, I could never put my thoughts into words like you.
I remember well when I saw that moment on Kimmel for the first time, I felt all warm and tingly, such a sweet man, so protective of Kristen.
Not to sound too dramatic but I'm so glad for your posts and comments of some of the sweet ladies on this blog, like Tempest and ginger. I would have been lost without your optimism.
I have to be honest, I wasn't always that confident that they would find their way back to eachother, not that I didn't wish it with all of my heart. It was one day yes and the other no but I always had hope. I guess my cynism and sceptism gets in the way sometimes, overtaking my heart.
Reading all of the last comments about this girl's tweet, they never gonna leave R&K alone are they? It's only gonna get worse, they are even more like hunted prey now, wanting to have that first pic of them together. When I saw some of these rags mentioning R&K's 'reunion', I thought "oh no, the spindocters are out, they're gonna milk, twist and spin the new angle like hell and backtrack their own crap and lies". The never ever ending story.
@Hollandgirl, my fellow Dutchie, girl so good to hear from you, you should visit more often, it was a nice surprise to see your name.
All the other old R'Nation leftovers, Anahita, TR, see you at the BD reunion.
ANNIE
Lately I put Stevia to sweeten it and a spoon full of peanut butter then top it off with some agave nectar. Also I will add a few tablespoons of chia seeds,,, all swirled into it;)
I have not tried spicy hot chocolate. Is it a brand you buy at a grocery store ? I would put chocolate and peanut butter in anything. Lol
ALI MAC
Cadbury chocolate bunnies at Easter !!!!! But I'm like Sue Bee.., an addict when it comes to Reese's Peanut Butter cups. I have to really watch it when they are around. Do you have those in Ireland!??
@ALIMAC
MMMMMMYUMMY CADBURY BARS!!! LOVED THEM WHEN SPENT TEENAGE YEARS IN BAHAMAS (IT WAS BRITISH COLONY THEN)....LOVED THEM IN IRELAND (BOTH N. AND S.) AND NOW THAT I AM A DIABETIC AM WAITING FOR SUGAR FREE ONES! :(( ALI, I THOUGHT THE NORTH WAS BEAUTIFUL, BUT NOT THERE LONG. MY GRANMA WAS FROM SOUTH AND EMIGRATED TO US IN 1880'S.
PS ALL NEW FRIENDS....THESE ARE NOT SHOUTING CAPS, BUT THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE WHAT I AM TYPING WITH THESE OLD (72++) DIABETIC EYES. PLEASE UNDERSTAND. THX.
Hi Roseland! I've missed you! Just way busy at school - I'm SO glad it's Friday!
So sad I missed the Coffee Talk (I can just hear Mike Myers and his SNL sketch from the '90s!) last night. Kami - I'm like you - drank coffee my entire life! "Coffee-milk" when I was a kid, then jst sequed into the "hard stuff"! And I'm taken aback when I see preteens with their Starbucks, too! LOL!
Ginger - I have a Kindle Fire and I LOVE it! It can't do everything, but I take it with me everywhere!
Miss all of you - lovin' all the good stuff!
Just noticed every single one of my sentences in that last post ended in an exclamation point. I need to calm down...
Good morning...just finished my cup of coffee...slept in this morning didn't get up til 10. Very, very tired these days.
I have tried spicy Hot Chocolate, it is a popular drink in Mexico City, so it is pretty popular in Texas. I love it. It somehow enhances the chocolate.
Has anyone ever tried Kopi Luwak coffee? It is the most expensive coffee in the world and is supposed to taste amazing, but I won't try it..aparently the seeds are eaten and partially digested and then uh...'expelled' by a weasel like animal. So if any of you know about this coffee..then can you please tell me....is the weasel thing true??????
Alimac: In my freezer I have an unopened box of Cadbury Heroes and a package of Tesco's Wild and Whippy. :)
Super: I don't know if spicy hot chocolate is available at say a Whole Foods but the one I'm raving about is served at a restaurant here called Alice's Teacup......... It is so good!
Pattybg......No worries. :)
Litmom; Another poster here was a frequent user of the exclamation point too> Hi *IB* :)
Beautiful weather here....heading out.
Bye.
Kami: Hi. :) Was just about to sign off when I saw your comment.
Just lost the taste I had for a coffee......Yowza!
OK.....Regurgitated coffee beans. That's a new one.
Kami and Annie,
I heard it was monkeys that pooped out the beans. If you ever saw the movie The Bucket List, Jack Nicholson's character loves the stuff and Morgan Freeman's tells him where the beans come from.
PL
OMG. I believe I can skip that coffee :(. I loved The Bucket List though....
@Litmom - I am just happy that maybe this time I can keep the kids paws off something because I live to read. My son took over the I Pad and really I didn't like it to much. I love my laptop the most but I can't play my games on it like I want - I use my desk top for that and a high resolution graphic card. This will be my reading and watching movie toy for a while for sure
Back to work - is it Saturday yet?
love all the coffee talk. i’m not a coffee drinker myself but i like the smell of freshly-brewed coffee. and ooohh, cadbury … love cadbury flake (fave), crunchie, timeout and twirl – wish they sold the flake here.
@Kami, Annie, PL and Super, believe it or not, for a non-coffee drinker, i’ve actually sipped kopi luwak at an indonesian restaurant. we were told that it was from the droppings of a civet cat (found in southeast asia). the civet eats the fresh coffee berries and digests the fleshy part but retains the seed. there’s enzymes in the cat’s digestive tract that seeps into the beans. anyway, it was my friend who ordered it for $10/small cup & she dared me to taste it. i can’t say if it’s the most fantastically delish coffee ever since i don’t know much about coffee but it had a dark chocolatey-hazelnut aroma & taste. i didn’t think there was anything special about it – but what do i know.
So glad to hear so many of you have enjoyed Cadburys chocolate :)
ANNIE what are they like when you defrost them are they still as good?
PARKER all those bars are great. Cadbury's chocolate is the one thing I crave at that special time of the month lol
SUPER Reese peanut butter cups have just arrived over here and also in bar form, they are delicious I bought one for my hubby and I the other day for a treat to enjoy with a cuppa :)
PATTY I'm so pleased you made it to the North of Ireland when you were here, so many only visit the South, so I'm pleased to hear you liked it!!
GINGER glad your enjoying your new Kindle.
You know, I was just thinking (always dangerous for me, lol). What if Rob & Kristen did what Brad and Angelina did when they had Shilo? Pick one reputable mag paying the highest price for their "guarded" interview and cover story pic...then give the money to their favorite charities. Man, that would really put these gossip mongers in their place (they would probably s*#t themselves)and do a really good deed in the process.
I've just noticed my daughter has written in pen on the windowsill, she must have done it sitting beside me whilst I was on the computer, obviously I'm not as good at multi-tasking as I thought lol
I would like to be able to try the florabotanic fragance before I buy. Can anyone tell me where I could try it in major retail store?
ANNIE
Here's a recipe I found for the Spicy Hot Chocolate. Let me know if you think it's similar
Warm 6 cups Skim milk
Add the following
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
I found it on Allrecipes.com. It has a 5 star rating!
PARKER
You are adventurous indeed! That would ruin it for me knowing that! Lol. I guess I would consider myself a novice coffee conniseur since I don't think I could bring myself to drink the kopi luwak. Lol
ALI MAC
How old is your daughter? I can remember doing stuff like that when I was 4 or 5
Super she is 4 and loves to make her mark in all sorts of places lol
@Super, i don’t think you’re missing out on anything. i certainly didn’t have any gastronomic rapture tasting it lol. i was like, “ok, so what?” and my friend’s rolling her eyes because she thinks she’s such a foodie demigod … besides i’ve read since then that there’s a lot of fake kopi luwak ...
Happy Friday or Saturday to everyone.
@Ginger-hey girl.
@Super- Hot spicy chocolate,sounds delicious.I'm going to try to make it.
@gargamel- I just bought 3-D TV today.Thanks for mentioning it.I feel like I'm in the movie theater.
Twirling all the way.
They finally posted the LA premier for BD2 and the crowds have to register to camp - Can I get a Thank God there
November 12th
@Holy - Hey There !!
@Holy
Don't forget to play with the picture setting...just when you thought it couldn't get any better.
The cinemotion setting is awesome. I discovered it after a year...lol!
You could hook up a cinemaborg-like sound with that for LESS THAN HALF the price of the latest "slim bar" style sorrounds.
I found this high-end ipod dock by Magnolia. It's the:
Zeppelin Air by Bower and Wilkins.
$900 bucks cheaper.
So i guess Holy won't be twirling for a while???
Twiddling with the 3-D remote control...can be addicting.
@Sue Sweetieeeee, so good to hear from you again! I really missed my dear fellow Dutch Rob and Kristen fan - wow, that's a quite a title for you lol. How is your 'fanworld' lately? Commenting at this wonderful blog a lot?
From now on I guess I'll comment more often too. There are some very sweet ladies here <3
@Ayli Baby Girl, also sooo good to 'see' you!! How are you doing sweetie? Still a big Rob and Kristen Fan? :D
Rose, I hope you don't mind the personal messages we send to each other. I guess we're all just glad to have found each other again :)
Love your blog a lot <33
Evening all.
Super: I just might give that spicy hot chocolate recipe a try.......The one from Alice's Teacup has cayenne pepper.
Ali mac: The Cadbury etc isn't out long enough to totally defrost .)..........I haven't tasted a difference from those kept at room temperature.
My Irish friends are the ones who suggested I keep it in the freezer.
@ Ginger
Maybe that will keep out some of crazy stalkers and Kristen haters.
Is that the only date they have released so far ?
I finally had a chance to read the comments about that coffee I asked about. Think I will be avoiding the coffee that comes out of the back end of any animal. But I have nothing but admiration for those adventerous enough to try it.
It is a gorgeous day, my hubby got off work early and we went to the beach for a little while this afternoon because it was kind of cool out and they weren't packed for the first time this summer.
I love Fall in Texas
@gargamel- I will continue to twirl and drinking while watching TV,hoping I will not get dizzy though,that will be embarrassing.
@Ginger-are you enjoying your new Kindle.
@Pam that was all I saw - I just got home from running a million and 1 errands after work. Yes it will keep unwanted people from camping the front of the lines. The did however say they would release more info on Oct. 1st on the LA premier so I am thinking maybe then? Although it is getting pretty late in the game to name promo dates
@Holy - I haven't gotten to really do much other than download yet. I take the train (above ground subway here) to work cause I hate driving. I tried to read and that was no good, started getting motion sickness. I need to take advantage of the premium subscription I got to see if I like it enough to pay for it for a year - Get to rent and read tons of books for free.
Just read an interview Rob gave about Twilight on ThoseBritishBoys site and it was really good. He said his fav scene is the hospital scene because him and K made up their own lines.
My niece told me that one of the gossip sites was talking about K's locket, that it has photos of her and Rob inside and has a saying inscribed that said something like " Even when you can't see me, my love for you is always there". I've never heard these things mentioned about her token before so who knows if it's true ? If it is that's really sweet of Rob to have put on her necklace.
Ginger...you will like Prime
Patty. Xxx
AliMac
Where are you located in the north?
Do you have a guiness steak pie recipe? Thx.
Xxx patty
@PattyBG - It looks awesome for sure :)
@Pam - wouldn't surprise me - he signed Rob on her ring
OMG I had a song stuck in my head and was singing it but couldn't remember where I heard it until it came on a Disney tween show - I have no words..........
I'll stand by you - The Pretenders (with lyrics)

Hey @ginger
love "I'll stand by You" kinda appropriate right now good choice
How have you been?
I've toyed with getting a Kindle or Nook but theres nothing like holding a book in your hands.
@Karen - Heya :) I have been great - how are you?
I love the book in my hands too - something about the smell of them too (freaky I know) but my kids always seem to rough them up or I get lazy and bend corners to save a spot.
Been good, just hanging around taking everything in.
My sister loves her nook, I think it's more the convenience. She said between the Harry Potter and Twilight books her hands hurt from holding the books! Much better on the Nook.
I'm a techno dummy so I usually wait before I get anything. I'm sure the day will come.
btw - glad you enjoyed the concert. How are your feet feeling?
kinda quiet here lately
@Karen - they feel better - just in time for the 3rd and last in the string of shows on Tuesday and this venue is standing room only
Ok I give up - the blog hates Styx - I keep trying to post Babe and every time it goes bye bye LOL
@Ginger - LOVE that song! sappy, ballady love songs can't go wrong. Actually just started listeing to music again. Been listening to Rob on Twilight - wish he'd put out a CD. I have "let me sign" as my phone ringtone.
You sure love your concerts even if I've never heard of any other them. Do I live under a rock?? haha
@Karen - LOL I love music so when I am working I have headphones on as much as possible and let the random music play so I get to hear a lot of it. I try to see 3-4 concerts a yr - some bands I see every time they come. I don't do bars otherwise I would probably see more local bands in the ones that have live music. He has a lovely voice but singers and bands usually have a rough life on the road so often
@ginger - I used to follow a local band back in the 70's when I was in college (yeah I'm that old!) and believe it or not they were called "Fuzzy Bunny" but I loved them. Didn't drink back then but it was fun!
How are the newlyweds?
Trying hard not to talk about "stuff" if you know what I mean.
@Karen - LOL not much to talk about them for the time being other than the premier being announced and what looks like some much needed registration for camping.
The newlyweds are doing ok - it is funny because nothing changed other than her last name and getting kicked off my health insurance. God help me because I have 3 more girls, my son says he is never getting married but then again he is only 17.
@ginger - do think the promo has been lax for BD2 or does it just seem that way? I thought last year they were in Europe in Oct but I could be mistaken. Yeah, they better have good security too.
Yeah, he's young that will change when he meets the one. My hubby was 20 when we got married so you never know. You do have your hands full!!
I should really proofread before I send!
@Karen - I am a little surprised we have not seen the over sea's promo stuff yet - not much time for promo's left at this point.
@ginger - that's what I thought. Think it's because of the situation? But I wouldn't think that should have any bearing on it. It' part of the job like Cosmopolis or OTR. I'm trying not to read anything into it.
@Karen - Nah - I mean this is their jobs so they would have to do it although I am more than sure they are fine. I am almost thinking the studio's are riding the free publicity right now and holding people in a greater suspense. I love Harry Potter and to me the 6 month wait to see the 2nd part of the last movie was long - a whole year is a really long time between parts for this movie.
@ginger -- yeah a year was way too long. It would have been better at 6 months. I think they are fine too but geez everyone wants to make money off of these two kids. They give their all and everyone just wants more. At this point I can't wait for BD2 to get here and the whole Twilight thing be over.
@Karen - that you and I agree with - I can't wait until 2013 period - next year will be a completely different one than any before
@ginger - calling it a night, it's after 1. Nice chatting!
Good night!
@ ginger - I agree about 2013, can't wait! Be here before we know it! So much good going on for Rob.
Talk soon!
How is your new day, your Saturday?
Mine is already fun! Reading all of your comments, and enjoying the cozy chats.
Hard to believe that almost one year has passed from BD1! For me, it sped by.
Life has gone by at warp speed, every year since I turned 50.
Now I need not rush at all, for it is my here and now, as things almost take care of themselves.
Ordered some Diane Gilman jeans from HSN.com, (highly recommended by Super) and the designer said everyone will look "hot". Watch out world!

Trust Wandering & Lust For Life
Gypsy (Of A Strange And Distant Time)
The Moody Blues:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y99cd4BIL6Q
A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic all directions blind
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun
Freezing in the emptiness
Of where he'd come from
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home
Speeding through a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach his ears
Frightening him with the visions of eternity
Screaming for a future that can never be
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home
Thank you/TheSubstituteGnome
Seems So
Life Begins At Forty
Sophie Tucker (1949):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4gXVXVXzqg
I've often heard it said and sung
That life is sweetest
When you're young
And kids, sixteen to twenty-one
Think they're having all the fun
I disagree, I say it isn't so
And I'm one gal who ought to know
I started young and I'm still going strong
But I've learned as I've gone along
That life begins at forty
That's when love
And living start
To become a gentle art
A woman who's been careful finds
That's when she's in her prime
And a good man when he's forty
Knows just how to take his time
Conservative or sporty
It's not until you're forty
That you learn the how and why
And the what and when
In the twenties and the thirties
You want your love in large amounts
But after you reach forty
It's the quality that counts
Yes, life begins at forty
And I've just begun
To live all over again
You see the sweetest things
In life grow sweeter
As the years roll on
Like the music from a violin
That has been well played upon
And the sweetest smoke
Is from a mellow
Broken and old pipe
And the sweetest tasting peach
Is one that's mature
Round and ripe
In the twenties and the thirties
You're just an amateur
But after you reach forty
That's when
You become a connoisseur
Then it isn't grab and get it
And a straight line for the door
You're not hasty
You're tasty
You enjoy things so much more
For instance
A novice gulps his brandy down
He doesn't understand
Observe a connoisseur
The way he holds it in his hand
How he strokes the glass
Fondles it, warms it as he should
Smacks his lips, ah, slowly sips
Ah, boy, it tastes good
Life begins at forty
Then it isn't hit and run
And you find much more fun
You romance a girl of twenty
And it costs you all your dough
But when a forty thanks you
She hates to see you go
And girls of twenty
All they want are big men
Big men with strong physiques
I don't say that it's bad
But you do get tired
Of those damn Greeks
Life begins at forty
And I'm
Just living
All over again
Thank you/ASACurator
Weird kids!
Two songs I posted have disappeared!
I'll wait a bit to see if they come back and then will post them again.
Time for an aperitif!
Seems So
Life Begins At Forty
Sophie Tucker (1947):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4gXVXVXzqg
I've often heard it said and sung
That life is sweetest when you're young
And kids, sixteen to twenty-one
Think they're having all the fun
I disagree, I say it isn't so
And I'm one gal who ought to know
I started young and I'm still going strong
But I've learned as I've gone along
That life begins at forty
That's when love and living
Start to become a gentle art
A woman who's been careful finds
That when she's in her prime
And a good man when he's forty
Knows just how to take his time
Conservative or sporty
It's not until you're forty
That you learn the how and why
And the what and when
In the twenties and the thirties
You want your love in large amounts
But after you reach forty
It's the quality that counts
Yes, life begins at forty
And I've just begun
To live all over again
You see the sweetest things in life
Grow sweeter as the years roll on
Like the music from a violin
That has been well played upon
And the sweetest smoke
Is from a mellow, broken and old pipe
And the sweetest tasting peach
Is one that's mature
Round and ripe
In the twenties and the thirties
You're just an amateur
But after you reach forty
That's when you become a connoisseur
Then it isn't grab and get it
And a straight line for the door
You're not hasty
You're tasty
You enjoy things so much more
For instance, a novice gulps his brandy down
He doesn't understand
Observe a connoisseur
The way he holds it in his hand
How he strokes the glass
Fondles it
Warms it as he should
Smacks his lips
Ah, slowly sips
Boy, it tastes good
Life begins at forty
Then it isn't hit and run
And you find much more fun
You romance a girl of twenty
And it costs you all your dough
But when a forty thanks you
She hates to see you go
And girls of twenty
All they want are big men
Big men with strong physiques
I don't say that it's bad
But you do get
Tired of those damn Greeks
Life begins at forty
And I'm just
Living
All over again
Thank you/ASACurator

So far so good, that last song didn't go into spam!
Do not underestimate the generosity of strangers!
A kind soul here in my complex, put out 2 sealed/unopened pints of JB Scotch, with a "Free to good home" sign on them, just for me to see, take and now enjoy. Oh, and there was a 2008 Pinot Noir, too, past its prime but probs fine for cooking.
As I said, so far already today, a happy day has come my way.
Once More!

@Ginger
Did I read somewhere you lost a couple of tunes? It is still happening. I'll call it quits for songs tonight, and jabber some.
@ali M
I've thought about doing pilates, and after your comment, not anymore. XO

Both of my family future brides now have chosen their gowns. I am leaving the color of mine up to them. I'll even wear puce, if they choose it.
Those aren't my days, anyways, and since I'll be invisible (unless actually in puce); I'll be hanging at the bar and dancing many jigs (maybe on the bar)! JK.
@ali M
See you got a repeat.
@Rose
What's up with Blogger? Repeats and deletes or straight to spam? Maybe nada can be done, except for complaining, which can be some fun!
@ali mac
Did you know these lyrics mention your county?
Around The World
Around the world
I've searched for you
I traveled on
When hope was gone
To keep a rendezvous
I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
You'd look at me
And I would see
The smile you're smiling now
It might have been in County Down
Or in New York
In gay Paree
Or even London town
No more will I
Go all around the world
For I have found my world in you

Will delete the extra posts, if they don't go to song limbo first.
Didn't mean "weird kids" before, but meant "weird, kids". Moo point.
I have a delicious feeling that everything I post tonight will vanish which makes me eager to be sillier than usual. Know what I mean?
@Dreamer
Love the words...life begins at forty...
I add..Rock and Roll at 50
Fall....@ 60....i mean fall in love.
And cheer him on @70:
"Go Pee!!!...Go Pee!!!!....Go Pee!!!!"

Lazy Bones

Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleepin' in the noonday sun
Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade
How you 'spect to get your corn meal made?
Never get your corn meal made
Sleepin' in the evening shade
When taters need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
Worms fall off of the vine
And when you go fishin'
I bet you'll be wishin'
Fish would jump on the line
Lazy bones, dozin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Never heard a word I say
Thank you/Allayne Fields
@gargamel
So funny! Let's see if your comments remain.
No! No!
Leon Redbone! Come back!
Good morning to all Roselanders.
May as well hit the bed and be ready for more later.
Fare thee well, Roselanders.
Hugs for Rose, Smitty, Gruff & Syd.
Happy day wishes for Rob & Kristen!
Good morning DK, ali mac and gargamel,
It looks like you were the only night owls last night. I slept in and missed you.
DK,
Free scotch and new jeans? You scored! I hardly think you will be invisible(not in your genetic makeup)but will be where you should be when you should be.
Have a great weekend everyone!
@Hollandgirl,
Yes. I've been here as long as on Robstenation (2,5 yrs)but I stopped commenting regularly until the 'incident'. I'm telling the ladies/gents made a lot of sense with their theories/opinions and scenarios. It's what I needed at the time and I haven't stopped commenting, so far.
@Ginger,
congrats with the newly weds.
Happy first day of Autumn everyone,
I fought the war, but the war won, I am getting whatever my little cuties have. Woke this morning with nose running and throat sore. I gave it a good fight at least. Now to take care of myself.
Off to clean the house!
Thanks for the song lyrics DK I have heard them before but it's been a long time.
Hi to you birdie have a great day.
Oh yes DK you should do Pilates. The class I go to is great and we have all age ranges in it. We have good fun grunting etc and laughing at ourselves when the going gets tough. It is a great exercise for building up your bone density which is great in later life ;)
JMF sorry to hear you succumbed to the germs, as DK always recommends eat plenty of garlic ♡
Good morning everyone..DK and Ginger I always enjoy your songs. They uplift our spirits. Not that we need them uplifted lately.
Well summer is gone...makes me sad!! Fall is beautiful and I enjoy it. I'm seeing fall festivals starting. Nothing better than to walk around and look at crafts and sip on Apple cider and then bite into a candy apple or other fall foods.
Hope you all enjoy your day.
@DK we are passing ships right now as you probably crashed and for once I went to bed before midnight but yep I had songs disappearing all night.
@Morning Oneheart, Ali, Birdie and Gargamel
@DK I think there is a code in some of the you tube videos that I think is causing them to go to spam - either that or Rose's blog does not like Styx or Pink Floyd LOL
Good morning all
Wanted to catch up with everyone, yesterday celebrated with my sister-in-law for her Bday, later my hubby and I are attending our neighbors wedding so I may not have a chance to check in until late tonight.
It does seem like we are getting hardly any promo news yet? No over seas stuff . Shouldn't they be starting all the talk show rounds soon? Maybe Summit was dragging their feet to see how things went wit R&K but it was said they had a back up plan for promo if they couldn't do it together so.....why not more news
Do you all think we will get any commentary on BD2 DVD from them since there was none on part 1 ?
@Pam - I am guessing October 1st we might get more info on promo's but they did say LA was the world wide promo so I have no idea what they are doing. See no matter what everyone is professional so they would all go no matter what and the only apprehension I could see from Rob and Kris is this being a conflict to sell the movie on their relationship as always but as more time goes it gets odder and odder. I mean this is the last movie you would think they would want to milk it for all it is worth and BO numbers have been down for a while - you have to give incentive for people to go spend the money at the movies instead of waiting out the DVD which only comes a couple months after release anymore
Hi everyone. I'm glad they're doing registration for the premiere. I hope it sends the message that if anyone is thinnking of trying something foolish they can be tracked down.
Hello, Roseland!
A quick stop before RL takes over, off shortly to go to our tailgate today.
Spent yesterday watching the Endeavor fly over Southern Cal, then spend the day with the kiddo at Disneyland. I'm wiped out!
Doesn't look like any new news out there....is there? Looking forward to buying tix on 10/1! Have a great Saturday, Roseland!
Hi Ali!
Trying to recreate our trip to tell you about it has me looking for a return trip!!! We traveled from Shannon up the west coast to killybegs through strabane in the north back down through dundalk towards Dublin. It was a great 2 weeks!
@ Ginger
I thought for sure they would overload on promo for this one also by it being the last one and trying to bring in as much money as possible. Maybe your right and at the beginning of Oct. they will release more dates . I've also thought it a little strange that we haven't got any news or tweets from Bill or his partner Jack about the progress or finished project, no sneak photos to keep us excited...oh well.
Alimac..
My kindle is crazy today...big enough to not need all caps...but keeps changing letters and wouldn't continue in last segment. Anyway county down looks beautiful. Are you by the sea? Looking forward to the Guinness recipe...i don't drink cause of taking meds, but steal a sip any time I can from dhusband (dh) Xxx patty
@Patty - the thing only thing I don't like about the kindle, my phone, or the IPAD is the touch screen keyboard - I know I can get an adapter to add a reg keyboard but then I just default back to my laptop for internet stuff. I fat finger things on there and god knows my mind goes faster than my fingers as is on a reg keyboard
@Pam - yeah and the 1st is on a Monday so maybe
@bubblejoi - agreed the haters were bitching up a storm about the registration yesterday - guess they know they will either be denied access or watched very very closely and not allowed near the front in anyway - awe I guess they should have shut their big ass mouths. There is no way in hell either way the vocal ones will be allowed any access to any of the cast - security already knows who they are.
@GINGER
RIGHT AFTER I FINISHED STRUGGLING WITH FAT FINGERS AND CRAZY KINDLE, MY HUSBAND WENT TO TOWN SO I CAN USE LAPTOP. MUCH FASTER! HE WAS UPDATING FINANCIALS SO I NEEDED TO WAIT. WASN'T SURE HOW LONG THAT WOULD TAKE.
LIKE YOU I GO MADLY WHEN I CAN SO I DON'T LOSE THOUGHTS LOL!
@ROSE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL GIFS....LOVE THE CURRENT ONES , ESPECIALLY. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I TREASURE HAVING NEW FRIENDS FROM ALL OVER TO ENJOY! PROBABLY I AM YOUR OLDEST BLOGGER (72, NEARLY 73 IN OCT.) AND I AM SO GRATEFUL! :) PATTY XXXX
PATTY I LIVE IN A PLACE CALLED NEWRY WHICH IS ABOUT 30 MINS FROM DUNDALK. I AM ORIGINALLY FROM THE COAST WHICH IS STILL ONLY 9 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE NOW :) KILLYBEGS IS UP IN DONEGAL AND THAT IS A LOVELY PART OF OUR COUNTRY TOO. IF YOU WERE COMING FROM UP THERE YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T PASS THROUGH MY LITTLE CITY? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE HAD A VERY ADVENTUROUS LIFE SO FAR, I LIKED THE SOUND OF LIVING IN THE BAHAMAS AS A TEENAGER :D I WILL GET YOU A RECIPE ASAP.
HI to GINGER I too suffer from the fat finger problem on my Samsung tablet and my mobile phone, I always have to double check before I press send. Sometimes I forget with funny consequences ;)
Sorry DK and Ginger... but some of your comments have gone into the spam folder. As usual... I have NO idea why that happens.
I put back a few of the recent comments.
I don't censor comments unless they are trashing Rob/Kristen or are especially harsh in general.
@Rose - I was laughing at Styx cause you know it is usually a group people will sing but never openly admit to liking - LOL. I noticed on the ones that went to spam last night there was a weird code at the end of them so I think it had more to do with You tube.
HI ALI!
MY DAD MANAGED THE INN AT MT. RAINIER WHEN I WAS BORN IN WA, MOVED TO WESTFIELD, NJ WHEN 6, MET DH, MARTY, WHEN 11, MOVED TO BAHAMAS WHERE MY DAD MANAGED A RESORT ON ISLAND OF ELEUTHERA, RECONNECTED WITH MARTY AFTER BARRY UNIVERSITY IN MIAMI AND MARRIED NEARLY 50 YEARS (NEXT FEB 2ND) SINCE.

MUCH OF RECENT OVERSEAS HAS BEEN CONNECTED WITH OUR HAM RADIO HOBBY...ESPECIALLY CHINA AND CURACAO. THANKFULLY I LIKE TO FLY:) JUST RETURNED FROM HAM CONVENTION IN CHICAGO WHERE I "WAVED" WHILE FLYING OVER DK!
XXXPATTY
PATTY YOU HAVE BEEN SO FORTUNATE TO TRAVEL SO MUCH, THAT IS QUITE A LIST OF PLACES YOU HAVE MANAGED TO SEE!!
HERE IS YOUR RECIPE
STEAK AND GUINNESS PIE
I PREFER PUFF PASTRY FOR THE LID BUT IT'S REALLY A PERSONAL CHOICE WHICH YOU LIKE BETTER :)
THE FILLING
1oz/25g all purpose/plain flour
1lb/900g chuck steak cut into 1"/2.5cm cubes
¾ oz/ 20g butter
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 carrots chopped in to 1"/2.5cm cubes
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp tomato puree
17 fl/oz/500 ml Guinness or stout
1½ pints/300ml hot beef stock
2 tsp sugar
Salt and ground pepper
METHOD
Place the flour in a large bowl and season with salt and ground black pepper, add the cubes of meat and toss well in the flour until evenly coated.
Heat the butter and oil in a large, heavy-based, flameproof casserole dish until the butter has melted. Add the meat to the fat in small batches and brown quickly all over for just a minute, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the onions and carrots to the pan and fry gently for about 2 minutes then return the meat to the pan with the Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree, ale stock and sugar. Grind in plenty of black pepper and a little salt, stir well and bring to the boil. Cover, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook slowly for about 2 hours until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened and is glossy. Remove from the heat, place into a 2½ pint/1.5 liter deep pie dish and leave to cool completely.
I LIKE TO CHEAT AND USE FROZEN PUFF PASTRY SHEETS :)
Heat the oven to 400F/200C/Gas 6.
Roll out the pastry to 1/8"/3mm. Cut a ¾"/2cm strip from the rolled-out pastry. Brush the rim of the pie dish with water and place the pastry strip around the rim, pressing it down. Cut out the remaining pastry about 1"/2.5cm larger than the dish. Sit a pie funnel in the center of the filling; it will support the pastry and stop it from sinking into the filling and becoming soggy.
Place the pastry lid over the top and press down to the edge and seal. trim off any excess pastry an crimp the edges with a fork or between your thumb and forefinger. Brush the top with beaten egg and make a hole in the centre to reveal the pie funnel. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.
HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE ENJOY XX
BY THE WAY PATTY CONGRATS ON NEARLY 50 YEARS OF MARRAIGE, I REALLY HOPE MY HUBBY AND I ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THAT MANY ANNIVERSARIES CLOCKED UP!! (WE HAVE ONLY DONE 10 SO FAR SO A BIT TO GO LOL)
HI ALI!
THIS SOUNDS ABSOLUTLY YUMMY!...AND A PERFECT REASON TO BUY A PINT OR TWO OF GUINNESS! THANKS FOR INCLUDING THE US MEASUREMENTS. I AM AT A LOSS WITH METRIC.
FALL IS HERE AND WILL BE A PERFECT DINNER. THX AGAIN. XXX PATTY
PS YES, WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE. MARTY NOW HAS PARKINSONS AND I AM USING A WALKER FOR MY FOOT, BUT WE ARE STILL TRAMPING ALONG WHENEVER WE CAN ;)!
PATTY I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU ARE BOTH STILL MOTORING ON DESPITE SOME PROBLEMS, A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IN LIFE IS A WONDERFUL THING TO HAVE.
I LOVE THE PIE WITH SOME MASH AND GREEN VEG. YOUR RIGHT IT'S PERFECT FOR THE NEW SEASON. COMFORT FOOD AT IT'S BEST.
WE HAVE A GREAT SKY HERE THIS EVENING PALE BLUE WITH CLOUDS TINGED WITH PINK AND ORANGE :0
ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY
ALI
FINALLY GOT RECIPE TO PRINT SO I CAN MAKE LATER. IT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE SOMETHING MARTY'S MOM USE TO MAKE, BUT SHE COVERED IT WITH MASHED POTATOES INSTEAD OF PUFF PASTRY. (NO GUINESS THOUGH!) BOTH SOUNDS GOOD.
XXXPATTY
PS GOING BACK TO FINISH CLEANING KITCHEN AND WATCHING RORY MCILVOY PLAY GOLF. I DON'T PLAY BUT LOVE TO WATCH AND LISTEN....IT IS VERY PEACEFUL. :)))
@Ginger - I think every adults finger are too fat for those touch screens. Here's what I use with a tablet that makes life much easier
Stylus Universal Touch Screen Pen
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Motorola-Samsung-Blackberry-Playbook/dp/B00575TN42/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1348339572&sr=8-2&keywords=kindle+pen
@bubblejoi - hmmm I am going to have to try that cause the touch screens are annoying.
Hi Everybody
I'm sitting in the nail salon waiting for a manicure. I went to the department store and bought a new Lancôme fragrance Have no idea the name of it. It is being launched with Julia Roberts beautiful smiling face In no way is it a replacement for the Florabotanica that I desperately want and can't figure out where to go and get it. I guess I will order it online if I can.
DK. Lol. You finally ordered Diane Gilman jeans!!! I hope you love them!!!!
It's a beautiful day here in SC.
Hello, Roseland! Happy Saturday!
HAPPY FALL!
My favorite season - cooler, crisper air (one of these days), football, Halloween, Thanksgiving! Hooray!
Ginger and DK - now you know how I felt when my posts would go *POOF*! I figured out mine went to spam whenever I would post from my Kindle. Not sure why - just figured I would "read only" when I'm not at a real computer or on my phone.
Super, that Spicy Hot Chocolate sounds wonderful. I'm making a Crock Pot Apple Crisp to take to a dinner party tonight. This is one of those days that I hate not having a sense of smell, because I have a feeling my house smells great! LOL!
DK & Super - tell me moew about those jeans. I went to Chicos this morning and got some red jeans on sale. They're supposed to be "slimming" - Hope I don't look like a fire truck...
Hope everyone is having a great day!
*more, not moew*
LITMOM
They allow you to gain up to 15-20 lbs now because of the " stretch". WITHOUT having to change sizes....omg...but they retain their shape and you can wash them forever and they still look the same. It's insane!
Diane Gilman is 66 years old and started her career making clothes for Rock stars. Then she got old and could no longer wear jeans like she could in younger years. So she invented DG2 jeans and never looked back. Now she sells a whole line of jeans, tops, accessories, jackets, vests, etc...like I said...it's insane. She's on all weekend on HSN. I'm watching her right now....lol
