What is the song or poem weighs up how you feel today??

[Pulsegleaner]

This time of the year this song always runs through my mind:

(It has/had a political meaning for residents of the UK, but I take it at face value.)

Surprisingly, when I was going through the phonebook while visiting my sister in college, it turns out there actually IS a Chinese restaurant called Lee Ho Fuk's in Philadelphia (or was, we're talking about twenty years ago).

I had forgotten about this from when I was a kid until Facebook reminded me (song starts about 5:10).

Some days I could listen to Barbara all day long. 🥀

I just thought that you might enjoy seeing a picture of Joni Mitchell & Carole King, 1973.​

i need a video for my achy breaky foot...

it's not broken but it is achy... not too much that it will stop me from doing anything.

If it was your heart, that would be an easy one...

@flowerbug, think about visiting an Asian market. I will recommend methyl salicylate from Wintergreen. Salonpas (from Japan) might do the job for you but I would go with an oil and personally prefer Hysan. Rub the oil on but stop rubbing just as soon as you feel some heat. Don't take the rubbing too far .

i love libraries and have spent a signifcant fraction of my life in them. i have also helped as a kid in setting up two new libraries (one for the township and one for a church) and then after they were set up since Mom was a volunteer or worked there in each of them i also spent a lot of time just sitting on the floor and reading through whichever books i could get at. many i may not have had a clue even what i was reading but the pictures were often interesting or helpful and then i could figure things out from context after that...
