It all came back to me....

If you just want the highlights from your childhood this is the DVD to have. I had forgotten "Rebel L", "Hey Food" and others (from disc 1) that were from the early years, or the years I was a child watching. But it all came flooding back. I remembered the fun and learning. I couldn't stop laughing....or singing along! And while I loved watching the newer ones (on disc 2) that are take offs of hits from today like Mad Men, CSI: Miami and Law & Order (among others) they did not have the same nostalgic value for me. And while using the "donk-donk" of Law & Order was truly inspirational, it is Grover's "Smell Like a Monster" spoof that steals the show. It would have been worth every penny just for this one episode!!! Why was this only on the Internet? I laughed so hard I cried....and watched it again! The genius of Sesame Street is alive and doing well. This is perfect to watch by yourself to "remember when" or to share with your child, grandchild, nieces and nephews. You get the best of the best. Fun and educational. What more could you ask for?

My review is NOT a review on the remaster.

1976 was an odd year for me.  I had been in Scotland for nearly two years at that point.  Living where we did we weren't influenced by American anything.  Subsequently, Boston was only the name of a city in Mass and not the name of a group which would sweep the US.  Somewhere about 77 or 78 I was back in the States for a quick visit with my young family.  My brother, one I had not associated well with in the past, was cranking out LPs on his record player.  He had a LOT of music I had never heard before: Aerosmith, Heart and Boston just to name a few.  Tom Scholz' Rock & Roll Band was the song I heard that caused my ears to perk up at the time.  I was upstairs, he was down in the basement.  This was worth the trip downstairs.  Whoa!  I continued to listen to the album.  I heard the rest of it and asked him to start the album again.  I just knew there was something else I wanted to hear.  Yep, I was right.  I was hooked.

Later that week I was driving around, listening to the radio station (yes, that's what we listened to in cars unless you had an 8-Track tape deck) and I heard Boston again.  Fortunately I was at a stoplight.  My foot was tapping, my hand was pounding on the steering wheel.  I looked over at the car next to me.  Sheepishly, I halted my pounding until I noticed the young lady was tapping to the same song.  Good stuff.

Boston's breakout album was a hit in my world, that's for sure.  But it wasn't until probably 1980 when I moved back to the States did I manage to lay my mitts on an album of my own.  Mind you, by 1980 they'd already released Don't Look Back.

At first I couldn't decide if I really wanted to take a chance on this. I pondered it for a few days and discussed it with as many people as I could. Sometimes I would get this feeling of incredible anticipation. I would feel like this would be the jackpot for which I have been waiting so long. My finger would hover over the "Add to Cart" button while I considered the possible outcome of what (to some people) might seem like a brash and reckless move.
Other times I would try to put the whole concept of "Fabio" out of my mind so that I could get some sleep. But the idea would creep back into my head. I would be laying there at 3:00 AM considering (for example), the merits of the various long-distance plans that I had been made aware of by several polite callers over the course of the previous couple of weeks, when I could feel Fabio looming at the fuzzy borders of my consciousness. I would try to fight him off but all of a sudden there it would be - the image of Fabio fully formed in my mind's eye - in all his dubious glory.
I talked the problem over with my psychiatrist. He was perplexed so he called two of his associates into the room to see if they could help make some sort of sense out of what I was telling him. All three of them are from Vienna. They all had cigars and they all happened to have long full beards. I told them of my dilemma - well my conundrum really - while the three of them sat in stony silence.
I noticed that they all stroked their beards in what I am sure (in hindsight) was a subtle system of beard-code that they had worked out for non-verbal communication in just this type of situation. I had just gotten to the part about the long-distance rates when one of them fainted! I learned later that fainting is a common self-defense mechanism the human body employs in order to stave off terrible psychological pain and trauma.
The others revived him and they retreated to a corner of the room to discuss my problem. They kept there voices low but I distinctly heard the fainter say "Crazy - just plain nuts"! His face was red and he seemed like he was angry and scared at the same time. The others calmed him and in about 20 minutes they decided on a course of action. After asking me if I wouldn't mind if they submitted this case for publication in a medical journal, my doctor said "Mr. Sprinkel it is, after all, just a few dollars. What is the worst that could happen? Be brave, take a chance. Buy Fabio and see if perhaps this will set your mind at ease".
That was 12 days ago. What he said made a lot of sense at the time and I can understand the finer points of his argument but I still have this nagging doubt. My finger is over the "Add to Cart" button and I think I have just about come to the point where I can start to make a rational decision about the pros and cons of this gambit. Yes, yes I am just about there. I'm just going to take another moment to consider it all then I will certainly make a decision...

...was I thinkin' aloud
fell out of touch
but I'm back on my feet
and eager to be what you wanted.

You know you can't fool me; I've been loving you too long.

This song has so many positive memories from my childhood, clicking the purchase button was a no-brainer. Love, love, LOVE IT.

This was a new style of book for me as it went back and forth from past to future and between two characters.  It took getting used to but I was able to easily get back to where the past/future left off a chapter or two ago.  Just reading the gifted version it seemed to have a happy ending. Umtil I get to the last page to read that Alex has returned. I want to know if he's come back to forgive or blame for not knowing Emily. I'm anxious to get to the full version now and see what is in store for Tabitha and if Alex's return has an impact on Carly and Kyle

10-2-17 Seen for 2nd time?  Maybe 3rd but it's been a long time, and glad am I that I waited.  Quite the tale.  And every speck of it beautifully manifest.  This is ancient wisdom, kiddies -- it's about what's afoot in each nervous system.  Think about it.

Time and time again I turn to rob bells words to point me back to God that I thought I lost.

I wasn't sure , at first, that I.d finish readingding this book. Four chapters in I was beginning to get a little confused. Like a carnival game, everything was coming at me at once. Having nothing else in my queue I decided to stick it out, at least until something else turned up. Well, a few something else turned up. By that time I was fully involved in this book.........and I am very happy about it!
There are several  stories happening at the same time, but once you get through the process of each character's introduction into the story the storylines merge into one thrilling, seamless whole.
Forgiveness has taken on a new meaning
I urge you to buckle  up and enjoy the ride

Thank you for writing this book. It came to me in my life right when I needed it. I am returning to God after 25 years. So it is like relearning everything from and adult point of view. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed this really helped me to focus on what I needed too.

Starting Over brought to my attention  (we all suffer the same pain).  It has helped me to let go of the anger and resentment; let go of the past and stop blocking my blessings.

Pulled out of me the things on my heart that I couldn't quite pin point! I have a kindred spirit with this mama and her writings. It helped me get a glimpse at the finish line and be ok with my family's style of home educating. I found the joy again that I first had when we started day 1 several years ago! Thx Durenda!

With a wedding I was attending right around the corner, I needed to find a little something to add some flair to my suit. A few clicks later I found this humble looking beauty. Two days later I checked my mail... I could almost hear a hum from the mailbox. With childlike enthusiasm I opened it. And the moment I touched it, Africa by Toto came on my Pandora, and that was pretty cool. I wish my Dad would return my calls.

It was more than I exspected. All the words and all the music for different instruments just blew me away. All my friends that have looked at this are amazed what it contains. I fact one of my friends that borrowed it has had it over two weeks now. I have the feeling that I may not see my book ever again. ( I am just kidding, I am sure that any day I will have it back in my hands again ) But when ??????
