A Little Life Trivia....funny stuff

[nancyd]

You know we never know where we are supposed to be in life...getting through it and looking back can be enlightening and meaningful....and some stuff is just plain crazy, funny, disappointing, and heart wrenching.....but you ultimately come to the conclusion that where you in this moment is exactly where you are meant to be. And everyone should do it. It's a hallmark of hospice nursing...the life review. It helps people to come to understand that their life has tremendous value. It's enough even if only for yourself.

I sang since I was in grade school

I was supposed to go into the convent when I was 19...papers signed and everything..missionary order..had second thoughts when told it would be Africa....I'm afraid of bugs......after papers were singed, I went on a singing audition.. Became a nite club singer instead....so much for commitment  ...but I still pray a lot

I was hired to sing as a regular on the Lawrence Welk Show...declined because I didn't want to leave home

Was hired as a regular soloist at Radio City Music Hall....fired 15 minutes later when I had to tell the conductor I couldn't read music ( heart wrenching )

Sang at Rodney Dangerfield's nIte Club....parents spent thousands for band arrangements...instead of sending me to college. Bands couldn't read music either....they're called "fake musicians"

Got thown out of Julliard Music school..because my voice cracked after having kids...

Became a songwriter ...my songs were on radio....musicians had to take dictation as I only played piano by ear.

I allowed my first husband to tie a rope around my waist so I could climb the roof to see what that noise was.....there was too much slack in the rope....that's when I realized he really didn't like me that much......

.....and life went on with lots of crazy things, lots of good things too.........

I like that.
But can't seem to come up with a "good enough" reply.

Thanks for the entertaining and thought provoking read!

Raz, you Always come through with a reply....and it's always "good enough". I dont know how people feel about reading my posts.....I write them because I think there is a message to it....but I don't want to annoy anyone......

I'm just looking to "talk" to my neighbors. I know that I just love to hear about other people's life experiences....We' not just faces we see around town. We've all had interesting things happen in our life. So ANY comment,reply, conversation is  good.
So thank you Razz!

[nancyd]

Are you smokin' something Ed?

[Razzle Dazzle]

Supposedly Elvis is like my 6th or 7th cousin..but I can't carry a tune or play an instrument.
Most the rest of my family can.
Whats up with that I've often wondered?
