I can only say, it must be nice.<br />As for super metabolism, if you ever find a pill to produce that, let me know.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-86391693223099213122009-06-08T17:51:43.053-05:002009-06-08T17:51:43.053-05:00I want a metqabolism that will allow me to eat any...I want a metqabolism that will allow me to eat anything and everything I want---within reason, of course--BUT, not gain wait!<br />Otherwise....well, there may be one or two other little things but that is the ONE thing I truly wish I had. Not a skill, I know....but, something that would have been and would still be nice to have.<br /><br />As far as singing is concerned---I LOVE to sing and some other people seemed to love my singing too....I made some records, sang in Nightclubs and on the Broadway Stage....It is one of the most satisfying things one can do....!OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-27379378512597650192009-06-08T17:21:00.742-05:002009-06-08T17:21:00.742-05:00jewels,

Too much stress I am sure.<br /><br />You have the talent, just got to use it.It is a muscle that needs flexing, blogging can be a useful personal trainer. That was a hint to blog more often.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-25366081806111866342009-06-08T14:19:04.305-05:002009-06-08T14:19:04.305-05:00Very funny!

I have a squea...Very funny! Did Susan Boyles win?<br /><br />I have a squeaky voice, no range, can’t carry a tune, and don’t care if I get the words right (sorry Patti). Despite my lack of talent, I love cranking up the radio and singing and dancing like the worst of the worst on Idol. Joy! Of course only when no one else is around except poor Brandy! I do take pity on her and let her outside if I get too carried away. <br /> <br />Being a good writer (with wit like yours) would be the skill I would most like to have. It would be great to convey exactly what I mean and how I feel with just the right words!SunShinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491384969589130647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-86518733521333148202009-06-08T12:53:20.339-05:002009-06-08T12:53:20.339-05:00Nancy,

Someone ought to record those fellows.<br /><br />kenju<br />Jazz singer huh? Did you do the hairbrush routine in front of your mirror? Oil up and go for it.<br /><br />Robin,<br />Ahh, a kindred spirit. Good thing we have a few plus items in our resume.<br /><br />Robert,<br />If you sang for your brother's wedding(congrats to the happy couple)then you either have an above average voice or a forgiving brother. Good for you either way.<br /><br />Nitwit,<br />Age does really mess up a voice. Glad you at least had a go at it.<br />I do make a "joyful noise". It is joyful for me and noise for any innocent bystanders. Won't stop me though at least with an audience of one.<br /><br />Betsy,<br />I knew you would be a singer when you said you out "cupped" me in high school.<br />Sorry about the weight thing, we all have some cross to bear. It keeps us from arrogance.<br />The older I get the more weight becomes a problem. I try to think of it as money in the bank. If I get sick, I have some great fat cells to keep me going.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-5851341531131999202009-06-08T11:31:34.216-05:002009-06-08T11:31:34.216-05:00Hi Patti, I guess I 'am' a singer althoug...Hi Patti, I guess I 'am' a singer although I don't sing much anymore. I majored in Voice in college --and taught Choral Music in high school for a number of years... <br /><br />My desire has always been to be SKINNY... People around me eat more than I do--yet they are thin and I'm not... GADS---I have struggled with weight all of my life... That gets OLD...<br /><br />Well, Friend, if you think you can't sing, then keep on "Making a Joyful Noise unto the Lord".... He doesn't care.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-47117760157993060072009-06-08T10:26:31.959-05:002009-06-08T10:26:31.959-05:00I was a "singer."

Tooting a flute was better than all that do re mi.<br /><br />A few years ago I was in a community chorus. I realized I was way over my head. Thank goodness the chorus folded, so I did not have to bow out gracefully!<br /><br />My voice is now in the tenor baritone range and age, COPD and inhalers have ravaged any talent I might have had. <br /><br />But like you I enjoy being an audience of one with the cd player in my car.<br /><br />I sing in church, but not loud or well. But I remember one scripture that says make a joyful NOISE unto the LORD, so I figure it is not the beauty but the heart that is important.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-89281492517452250522009-06-08T10:07:37.294-05:002009-06-08T10:07:37.294-05:00Singing is therapy for the soul, all you need is a...Singing is therapy for the soul, all you need is an audience of one: yourself.

The Holland or Lincoln tunnels into New York are a good example.<br /><br />The guard's lips are always moving and sometimes their mouths are wide open as they stretch for a really high note.<br /><br />This is because (They tell me) the acoustics in the tunnels are perfect and everybody sounds like Luciano Pavarotti in there. So, the guards while away the lonely and fume filled hours singing an aria or two from The Barber of Saville or Rigoletto...<br /><br />They are always looking for help. Do you want a job?Nancynoreply@blogger.com
