This is just too good not to share.

These kids are absolutely, in my humble opinion, FANTASTIC !!
If you're tired of hearing our national anthem being destroyed almost every time it's sung by the current crop of pop artists,
then you will seriously appreciate.....this version only 1½ minutes sung by a group known as "Dave's Highway".

No instruments, no microphones, no special effects!

Just 3 young siblings (Erika, Delaney, and Zachary) singing the anthem as originally written, right in their own living room.

God Bless Everyone

Hi Evelyn and Amanda and all

Tim Conway is one hilarious guy most of the time. What amused me is that he knew what he was doing would get Harvey Korman going and he did it on purpose.

Speaking of bursting out laughing at the most inopportune time, I've had moments like that.

One that comes to mind is when I was a college student. I had returned to school in my 30's so most in the class were about 10 years younger than me. To determine where we belonged as far as our English skills were concerned we had to write an short essay in class unprepared.

Later in one of my Math classes we had a professor who every once in a while would wander off on some other topic. He was an East Indian fellow with excellent English skills. One day he asked why people in this country always said, "you know" at the end of a sentence. He looked so disgusted which tickled me to no end. I wasn't laughing but I was very amused.

Then he said, "Students even write "you know" at the end of their sentences in initial essays." and still serious and a look of disgust, he says, "and we even had one of them write it (he turned and wrote it on the blackboard) like this >> "you no". Well that did it. I burst out laughing and I couldn't stop. I tried to stop laughing while he went back to teaching Math and all of a sudden I just would burst out laughing again and I could not stop. Some of the class began laughing a bit, too. I decided I had better leave the classroom.

By the way, it wasn't me who wrote "you know" at the end of sentences. My essay received a high grade. Later when I wanted to take a class in expository writing, they wouldn't let me because they needed the space for people whose writing skills left something to be desired.

Amanda spontaneity really does keep us young in mind and spirit. I think a lot of things done on the spur of the moment are most times the best. :)

James definitely laughs when I laugh yet I am not so affected to this, but once I am in full gales of laughter it is a different matter.
No I can't say I have laughed in church or at a funeral but James and I have laughed ourselves hysterically in restaurants, shops etc - I do not feel embarrassed when people look at us strangely or even care - for most of my life I had to tow the line. I am free and laughter is the best medicine and spontaneity of fun keeps us young.

Isn't it strange Amanda, how just by watching someone laugh, we either laugh with them or get a big wide grin on our face? And have you ever gotten your giggle box turned up side down when you were some place you shouldn't be laughing, like at church or even a funeral home. I've often wondered why some things are so funny when we're some place we should not laugh. LOL

I could identify with Tim Conway having a difficult time composing himself.
There has been times when I have tried to tell James a story or joke and as I try to tell him I start laughing, then the harder I try to stop I laugh even harder then James gets into the act and either starts laughing because I am or looks at me funny which sets me off into peals of more laughter - my stomach hurts and it is 10 minutes or more before I can get myself back under control to finish the story..LOL

Hi Myrna, wasn't the Carol Burnette show a wonderful show? And it was people like Tim Conway and Harvey Korman that helped make it such a great and funny show. So many hilarious scenes and yet never vulgar or x rated language and even the kids could watch. When the networks lowered their standards to permit anything goes, we all lost big time.

THANK YOU MARK, if not for your generosity in making the graphic, my front page would still be plain. It is sincerely appreciated. :)

Please don't misunderstand me. The Header of the message is just a header that I used for the posting of message. There are several forums that when I make a post has a header related to the forum. I am not trying to change your new opening page as it looks good. It is just my way of doing things. I think it starts out with a visual look and also maybe a little branding in my part. You did understand the message and so far no one has anything active or detail enough for AdlandPro'sLearning Center. I could do one but probably if it was a group effort to put it together.
