Anne's Note: Open Letter
This is an open letter to all the readers/users, especially the
non-contributors, of RDJ:
C'mon, you know it's good; heck, you know it's great! It's down-home
folksy and comfortable. The recipes and features of RDJ are awesome.
Where else can you benefit from contributions from people all over the
country? The benefits (let me count the ways):
| | | | Recipes you've never seen before, an opportunity to be adventurous
|
|
in your own kitchen.
| | | | Usually a tip is tried and true.
Usually a recipe from Friday's Good Neighbor Recipes is
|
|
family-tested.
| | | | Off the Shelf gives personal reviews so you can save money by
|
|
skipping the baddies and latching onto the good stuff.
| | | | Food for Thought also helps with choosing reading material. You can
|
|
tell ahead of time instead of judging the book by the cover.
| | | | The computer sites are usually quite awesome. How much times does
|
|
that save? Someone else surfs for you!
| | | | Song lyrics --- they sure bring back memories. And some of them
|
|
clarify what those words were exactly. Who knew that Louie, Louie
"smelled the rose in her hair"?
| | | | The essays are fun to read. I've skipped a feature or two, or more,
|
|
but you gotta agree, it's all good stuff
Just think about how much you have saved in both dollars and time by
reading the du Jours. Any contribution is a fraction of what you've
saved. I am a fan. You are a fan, too.
For those of you who truly enjoy creating and eating desserts, there's
Dessert du Jour.
I say, let's show these guys how much we appreciate their hobby. We've
already lost one of the du Jours; let's support and keep what remains.

Link of the Day:
We have used a "noise machine" for years for sleep. It is wonderful.
This computer and mp3 site is very cool. From World Start computer
newsletter.
SimplyNoise
White noise can serve many purposes, whether it's soothing your
migraines or helping you sleep. And here, you can experience white noise
(and pink noise) for free!
How it works is you put your headphones on or turn up your speakers and
slide the orb across the slider bar until you find a white noise zone
that's comfortable for you. To switch to pink noise, click on the pink
circle. (I thought the pink noise was more fluid. It reminds me of
water; rain on the lower spectrum and waves on the higher).
To learn more about white noise, I recommend following the link to the
article about it on the Wikipedia Web site. It's very informative!
You can also download white noise or pink noise by following the Click
Here link for SimplyNoise audio files. They offer MP4 files and WMA
files for download.
You can also leave feedback by filling out the form in the lower right
hand corner. Just put in your e-mail address and fill in the empty text
box. Then click Submit. Check it all out today!

Simply Tim: THOSE AMAZING FXS
Special effects in movie and television have become a special item of
amazement for me, one that is truly limited only by the imagination of
those who envision it and render the outcome. And with the continued
advances in digital technology, I find the so-called “willingness to
suspend disbelief” has become a thing of the past: except for dubious or
broken plots, there is nothing at all visually left for me to
disbelieve.
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to go back in time, shove a youngster
watching a 50’s Jet Jackson television show into some kind of time warp,
plop them down in a modern day theatre and immerse them in the most
recent “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” movie? About the only thing they could
relate to (if they could afford it!) would be the popcorn. Most likely,
children of that era would be both dazzled by the grandeur and terrified
by the violence, afraid for weeks to go to sleep.
It’s fun trying to imagine what the future may bring, what mysteries
will be solved, what greater mysteries will be discovered or pondered. I
have no doubt technology will continue to amaze us; that one day soon
someone will wonder about stepping back in time, yanking a 2000’s
audience away from watching “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” on their iPod,
and plopping them down in some virtual reality environment where the
only familiar element will possibly be the scent of popcorn, if they can
afford it.
To reach Tim: send an email to

Be sure to use the story title as the subject.

Do You Remember?
La La Means I Love You
The Delfonics 1968
Thom Bell - William Hart
Verse 1:
Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by (passed them by)
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try (let me try)
Now I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even have a song to sing
All I know is
Chorus:
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
[1: Oh, baby please now
2: Oh... baby]
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Verse 2:
If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me (one for me)
Let me hold me in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see (you will see)
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me
Instrumental break
Partial verse:
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you, yes to you
Listen to me
Coda [repeat to fade]:
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
[1: Oh, you'll have to understand
2: Come on and take my hand]
