Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Enjoli Nostalgia

.
Who remembers this?

I never had a bottle, nor even sniffed the stuff that I recall, but I shall never forget the "second verse" of this commercial.

I just quoted it "at will" in the comments on someone's blog, which made me want to see if I could find it on You Tube - - - and VOILA! here it is!!!

Too bad I "ain't" that woman. Neither was Peggy Lee.

What I DID NOT KNOW until tonight is that this commercial was a take-off of a Peggy Lee song. Peggy Lee should have taken lessons from the commercial. Just sayin' - - -

Keri said...: Never heard of it! WOW what a cheesy commercial. The only thing missing was Mom Jeans...oh, wait, they were there weren't they?? And just what do you think is going to happen with her in her LINGERIE?!?!

I have, however, heard you use that phrase LOTS. Is that where you first heard it??

My word verification is "resist". I don't think I need to be told to resist that perfume OR that commercial OR the hairdos OR the Mom Jeans.; April 2, 2009 at 8:01 PM

Keri - - - just wait till the things you find "cool" are 33 1/2 years old, your children will find them cheesy too.

Kim - - - of course you were really little because I am really old.
