IF I RULED THE WORLD Tony Bennett Words by Leslie Bricusse/Music by Cyril Ornadel
If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring Every heart would have a new song to sing And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring
If I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird, Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred
My world would be a beautiful place Where we would weave such wonderful dreams My world would wear a smile on its face Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend There'd be happiness that no man coud end No my friend, not if I ruled the world Every head would be held up high There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world...
Hmmmmm...yeah, I really wish I ruled the world...the world would be a veritable Utopia.
On with the MLC adventure....

Awwwwww, Lissett, you're gonna make me blush with all the compliments!!!! I blame my love of singers and standards to my grandmother who LOVED Frank Sinatra and to my dad who loves Tony Bennett and Nat King Cole. Thank you for saying my voice is nice...it is a gift from God...and I make up songs to sing to the puppies...they love it, especially the Diva!
So, did I ever tell you when I first went to college I was a music major???? My father was a musician as well as my grandfather (when he wasn't a chef)...so music is in my blood! I dig most types of music and my tastes vary from Opera to hip-hop...funny thing is, LL and I enjoy the same types of music and since we're nerds and weird that was one thing that fit perfectly...amongst many things but now he is changing history and basically, I am a lunatic and "made" him have an affair.
Okay, sweets, so here is our horoscopes for today:
AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra It's time to take the bull by the horns - or rather, just assume your most authoritative posture. Your grand presence will cause the world around you to stop and take notice. Your intellect and sense of command will be tempered by serenity and benevolence. Give and take advice freely today, especially in professional areas.
WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces You may be singing the moody blues today because your glass is half empty. Try looking at it another way. You are advised to put past hurts and disappointments behind you - change direction and walk towards the sum.
Wow! you and Sparkles are bith Water signs!! No wonder you get along!
Besitos! Vali

Yeah always find them interesting...LL is a Capricorn...at least he is not a fire sign...can't get along too much with those signs...LOL! Just realized my MIL is a fire sign!!!
I agree with you, I am getting down to business and setting my boundaries as well...I think LL is freaking out. I am basically going back to my former self, when I didn't take any crap. Marriage made me soft----of course, I loved the man...and would have done anything for him. Still would. It is hard to see him like this. I know that I am stronger for it.
Where LL ends up....only God knows.

Holy Cow, Unbroken, you must be psychic b/c I am getting together with a gf after work and drinking Margarita's...I will toast to you!
Look, I think all these men (and women) have supressed A LOT...I didn't think I was depressed b/c I wasn't walking around thinking the world was going to end---okay, maybe I did on bad days---however, I found out different...and have been on meds and OMG! I feel so much better and much more together and able to deal with LL's MLC bullsh*t.
Darling, you get used to it. Trust me...if you read my earlier threads, I was deranged. We have ALL grown through this, so don't sweat it. You'll get there. You really can do this you know.
As Angelica says: we are part of the Sisterhood of the Hard-hearted/Confused...take your pick.We are steel roses, I tell ya...we CAN do this.
Thank God for all the people on this board.
