I way going to tell you it's Tayshaun Prince, but you probably don't know who that is either.
Just googled him and listen to one of his songs and I definitely not a fan. And what's on May 3rd, 9pm CBS?
Pretty sure it's prince fielder. Besides being a baseball player, he's actually a pretty good singer. Has a nice baratone voice
00, did your boy come back with a belly tat last night or was it more of an emotional scarring?
Bringing the Boxster cause it's good for hauling shrubs. We don't need no stinkin' pickup.
Never have Chaser order your engine parts for you.
You picked a bad place to start. His earlier stuff was better and a decent contrast to the hair bands of the late 80's.
Purple Rain, Little Red Corvette, Darling Nikki (later redone by Foo Fighters), When Doves Cry are all better IMO
I don't expect you to like any of it given that the music is very dated for you and you have a much different taste.
I never had a big opinion of his music either way. Some of his stuff was ok. Girls really dug that **** though.
I'm a music person, but was never really a fan of his. Some of my kids were, though...
so I'm responding to a bawbie post from the Cave. Don't worry, nothing cave-y just him saying something I said made him think I'd be an awesome mom (hey thanks!) and I wanted to respond here instead of caveland
So yesterday there was some family dramz - long story short my youngest bro (22) left the farm, got a job and moved in (please God temporarily) with his much younger GF and her mom until he can get an apt. Other than the current living situation, I think this is great for him. Because my family is being dicks about this and also never gave any of us "the talk". I'm like, someone has to adult here. So since he and I have always been better buds with each other than our other siblings, I start texting. Just asking about the job and you know, acting like a normal person would when someone moves out and starts their own life. He eventually asked how mad family seemed when mom told me and we had a good chat about that. He actually said he wanted to be like me and not the two sibs who have more or less had things spoon fed to them and still depend heavily on my parents. I feel so proud that even though we don't see each other much, he still sees me as the example of where he wants to get too. Might get a lil tear here.
But of course I am supremely concerned about the living situation so I finally text that hey you need to be smart about things right now cause diapers are expensive and was like you can buy things at places if you need them. My text was a bit more direct, obviously. His response lowered my concerns a bit but I'm like you know you can always talk to me.
So last night I was telling this to DH and I'm like DH, I had a conversation with my baby brother about safe sex. Holy crap, I think I'm ready to be a parent!
Haha, so before certain people assume, no I am not pregnant but that's just one of those conversations I imagined having to do in the future and didn't expect to come up now. I really did feel like the only mature, rational person in the situation yesterday. I was very proud of myself. Told DH I wanted two gold stars and all I got was a thumbs up from him.

BDK, I was gonna ask if you remembered Prince doing the Super Bowl halftime show, but when I looked it up, I realized it was back in 2007. You would have been 7 or 8.
I don't think you know what this means.
:spinny:
JK. That is actually very cool to have that convo with your lil bro. The first time my older sis talked to me about that stuff it was really weird, but it was nice to get the awkwardness out of the way. My parents never talked about any of that with the kids.
I happen to agree with Bawbie. You will have to throw spreadsheets out the window since babies are masterful at changing any plans that have been made, but I think you would take to motherhood quite well.
Well, unfortunately, I think the emotional scarring may have been me. He's pretty complaint, he melts with just a word. I saw him with it on and said "what is that?" He melted a little. Tried to "refill his bucket" the rest of the night.
