The Lounge is pretty subdued tonight, due to the outbreak of

[CaliforniaPeggy]

hostilities in the Middle East.......

A lot of folks are scared, and I understand this.......

I would like to try and lift everyone's spirits, if I can.......

If you don't think I'm being too presumptuous.......

I saw this quote tonight. It's a line in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption." I have no idea who spoke it in the movie......

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies."

1. Hi Peggy

The guy who escaped said it. I can't remember his name.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear texanwitch...........

Andy Dufresne! He escaped.......

I love that movie...can you tell? :hug:

[txwhitedove]

2. Great movie. Sounds like Morgan Freeman....

Hey, where is Random Aussie??

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear txwhitedove!

It does rather sound like him, but I believe that Andy Dufresne (played by Tim Robbins, BTW) actually said it......

I have no idea where Random Aussie is!

:hug:

[NMMNG]

7. Random Australian is on break from school

He's due back in a week or two I believe. :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thank you, my dear Buffy!

:grouphug:

[newcriminal]

5. I guess I'm a little fanatic about Shawshank

of course everything Stephen King writes I read, I had the book on tape and use to listen to it everyday during my walks, and I have seen the movie at least 30 times. You have great taste Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear newcriminal........

Aw, thank you! I just love that movie......

I don't normally like Stephen King.......he's just too scary for me...

BUT.... I make an exception for this story!

Both the movie and the book were fantastic!

Hmmm.....I wonder if this line is in the book.......

:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

8. Hi, Peggy!

Don't really know what to say, just wanted to say hi. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear ZombieNixon!

Hi back atcha!

Well, did you like the quote?

Of course, it helps to have seen the movie.........

And I highly recommend it, of course! :hi: :pals:

[ZombieNixon]

13. Haven't seen the movie. I probably should.

I do like the quote, though, thanks. :)

[texas1928]

10. He said "I thought you were going to ask about the pig"

:shrug:


:hi:

[texas1928]

15. In Bushies' press conference with the Chancellor of Germany...

He kept going on about the pig she was serving at the dinner tonight.


He kept talking about the pig.


Well a reporter asked about his thoughts on the bombing of the Beriut airport and the escalating problems in Lebanon.


He looked at him and said "I thought you were going to ask about the pig"

The Chancellor actually looked at him with her mouth open.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Omigod.......He is such a fucking moron..........

I never know whether to scream, cry or throw up.........:puke:

[texas1928]

42. I mean I like a good BBQ but DAMN!!

Now I'll trot over and post in your thread!

A little music for the end of the world! :bounce: :bounce:

[liberaltrucker]

17. Hope is all we have

Sometimes I fantasize of spraying Xanax worldwide.
It'll never happen, of course. Ah, one can dream.

Not that I'm saying drugs are the solution, but in
this case, couldn't hurt.


:(

:scared:

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear liberaltrucker........

Indeed, all we common folk have is hope...

Good to see you tonight........

The world had better NOT end! I want to meet you, and a bunch of DU'ers!

Pass the Xanax, wouldya? Thanks!

:hug: :loveya:

[liberaltrucker]

33. One .5 mg alprazolam(generic) coming up

[Common Sense Party]

22. "Get busy livin' or get busy dyin.'" nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear Common Sense Party!

That is my second favorite line from Shawshank! :woohoo:

[Common Sense Party]

38. It's always been my favorite. Great motto to live one's life by.

It all comes down to a choice. What do I want to do with the rest of the time I've got?

[Mojambo]

23. You're the best.

The perfect quote.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear Mojambo.......

Awww.......Thanks!

I do love that quote.......:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

28. Sometimes hope is all we have

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear SeattleGirl........

Indeed, sweetie.........sometimes it is all we have......

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

And it is important to remember this......

[SOteric]

31. I like a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson:

"On this refulgent summer day it is a luxury to breathe the breath of life."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear SOteric.......

That is lovely too.....

I decided to use the Shawshank quote since I saw it as someone's sig line...

And it struck me as something that might help the Lounge shed its funky mood......

Thank you for yours !




:loveya: :hug:

[enigmatic]

36. "Enjoy Every Sandwich"

I loved that quote of Warren Zevon; even though he was in pain at the end of his life, he got the essence of life it spot-on...

I look at it this way; if it's going to happen, it's going to happen, and there's nothing I can do about it. So I'm going to live my life and enjoy every moment, including listening to Peggy say "Fuck!" :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Blessings on you, my dear enigmatic!

That is one hell of an endorsement!

So you want to enjoy every moment......including hearing me say FUCK?

Well.......fuck that, baby!

You know I love you!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Robeson]

39. Hey Peg!....

...I'm so old, it seems I'm immunized to the latest "scare" in the Middle East. All my life, they've occurred about every week, out of every month, out of every year...:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. My dear Robeson!

Oh, I think I'm older than you are.....

I do relate!

Still, I felt the Lounge's mood....and I wanted to at least try to improve it a bit......

Hence, this thread....

I'm tuckered though...time for me to get to bed!

Thank you for coming by tonight, sweetie! :loveya: :hug:

[texanwitch]

41. Lets all sing the Doris Day song.

Doris Day


Que Sera Sera

by N/A
When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother, 'What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me:

Que Sera Sera,
what ever will be, will be;
The future`s not ours to see.
Que Sera Sera,
What will be, will be

When I grew up and fell in love,
I asked my sweetheart, what lies ahead,
will we have rainbows
day after day?
Here´s what my sweetheart said:

que sera, sera,
whatever wil be, will be
the future's not ours to see.
que sera, sera,
what will be; will be

Now I have children of my own
they ask their mother what will I be
will I be handsome?
will i be rich?
I tell them tenderly

que sera, sera,
whatever will be, will be;
the future's not ours to see.
que sera, sera,
what will be, will be.

Que sera, sera

Doris Day

44. Good morning, my dear texanwitch.........

This is one song that I have always loved.........

And I agree with it completely!

Thanks for your contribution to my thread!

[Major Hogwash]

43. We've been at war for almost 5 years now.

There's damn little hope when the warmongers are in control of running the world.

What's going on in Israel now was predicted 2 years ago.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. My dear Major Hogwash......

I am quite convinced that you, sir, are correct........

But I also hope that trying to help my friends feel better in the moment is not such a bad idea.......
