It's an oldie but a goodie, like many things in life :) .. "The Stranger" is, arguably Joel's best album, I know it's my favorite .. not a throw away cut in the bunch, IMO .. and, for me, oddly, my favorite track is the one that's most overlooked, I love this song ::



Everyone knows I'm a dreamer.....;) How could I not love that track ? :wub:

Last night, Billy Joel was on Fallon, and he sounded pretty good .. in addition, his Band is just excellent .. Mark Rivera (Sax/Flute/Harmonica, etc) I could listen to all day .. at any rate, this one's for Sandy and Gracie .. :) .. it's "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" .. last night, I think I said "Themes From an Italian Restaurant" during a momentary brain outage .. ;) .. one of my favorites from "The Piano Man" ..


Well, now, methinks I'm going to have a VERY RARE glass of red tomorrow night at dinner (which btw will be an Italian restaurant), and guess who I'll toast! :) :)

I wonder.......if the upstairs neighbors can hear me singing along....:D
Don't have to worry about neighbors here, but I sure did give hubby a wake up call.....woke him up from a nap and he said.....what's wrong??? Lil ole innocent me was serenading her soul!

Plus monitoring blood pressure.
Blood pressure isn't a problem. Guys I'm OK. I'm not going cold turkey and have plenty of the small pills. As long as I stay below what I was taking I can take as often as needed to feel "normal."

Strange on the addiction thing. I took Hcodone for 15 years then got cut off by new laws. No withdrawl at all but I never got a buzz from them neither.
Just relief from pain.
Never had a buzz off of this either but, I am sure I can't just quit cold turkey. I'll go see the doc as soon as we get back. I was just going to try to cut back some.

Free? Hmmm....I've learned in the life that nothing is free. What's the catch? ;)

I put you on 12 Telemarketing Lists, your Eyeballs are stretched open and you are forced to watch HSN for a minimum of 24 straight hours .. there is also a catheter involved and a feeding tube, however, you must sign a Non Disclosure before any additional info is, er, disclosed .. ;) .. it is, totally free as far as Financial Compensation goes .. ;) (always read the fine print)

In this case, I don't know if I would blame the politicos as much as the cause of the clampdown .. with the street values, large sums of money to be made in the "after market" trade, a willing buyer contingent, etc ..

I feel safe in saying the Pharma folks are more than happy to sell as many as Humanly possible ..

Hell, where I live, it's a "pain in the ...." to get Sudafed ..
Think that's true everywhere these day with the crystal method problems.

In the traditional sense of the word "buzz", I never got one either .. in my case, it was a warm feeling that made me quite happy, IOW, normal .. the Reward Center of my Brain was quite euphoric .. because I no longer had any pain .. ;) .. if you want a "buzz", try grinding to powder and snorting, or chew them up .. ;) .. or chase it with a couple shots .. ;)

Buzz was the wrong word. No feeling of euphoria either.

Well, for me, and perhaps me alone, being pain free was euphoric in and of itself .. :)

I think the main reason why my DR quit dishing them out was what he told me when he cut me off "Willie, you like these things too much .. " insisting I lose some weight, stretch, exercise more, etc .. oh, and the heart attacks .. Harshed My Mellow, I'll tell you that .. ;)

me either, I did get a bit of the warm feeling in my back, but it didn't get rid of my pain, just lessened it some
Yep I have not been pain free for nearly 20 years. I have a degenerative disc disease apparently. My lower spine zigs and zags all over the place.
The pills just made it bearable.
