is it needing a bath of hellfire, or purgatory in order to purge oneself of sin/dirt?

I think one would “sprang sprang into action.”

You got it. Except it’s not hellfire, it’s purgatory fire.

Easily. The lyrics in both songs are random and make no sense. If the intent of the writer is stream-of-consciousness banter, then the songs are on the same topic.

Stevens: “We need help now, spang!”
As Benghazi explodes with a bang
But Hillary and Barry
Uncaring, unwary
Weren’t there when their panic phones rang

It’s a country in Europe, near Prance.

I clearly said to focus on the chorus.

maybe it’s just me, but this word sounds dirty to me.

He’s wonderful!

Now to get coffee - if I can manage to stop focusing on that haunting chorus for a few minutes.

I wonder how long before the auto-tune remix is released like Sweet Brown “Ain’t nobody got time for that” and the “Hide yo wife, hide yo kids, they rapin’ everybody up in there” interviews.

Are you talking about the orthopedist, or the PTs?

I'll raise you one Rory Wright, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon.

He's about 6'5" -- maybe 6'7". He looks like he's 22, but he's much older because he has been a favorite doctor around here for years and owns his own hospital. If he really were only 22 (which he is NOT) he could be my grandson!

But, I don't see him that often. I see the PTs 3 times a week. I admit that I'm not too faithful about daily exercise. I do it when I think about it. Most of my daily excise is derives from things I have to do. As my PT says, the body has unlimited ways to cheat.

Your Dr. Avery looks like Congressman Trey Gowdy from SC.

I was shocked the other night to see Gowdy on an episode of "The New Detectives" back when he was a prosecuter. It's like discoving Fred Thompson in an old movie. I saw Thompson on an episode of Matlock recently.

He does look a bit like him. Ill keep dr Avery thanks. Though he’s not the hip doc, he does shoulders. My PTs are all pregnant women, oddly enough! I’m seeing the doc who replaced my hips today.

I have a man and a woman PT. They are both good. I think the woman is the lead PT. At least I see her the most often.

I chose Dr. Wright for his record and his bedside manner, not his looks. However, most of the women who recommended him liked his looks — LOL. As one of them said, “When you are going through such a brutal surgery, it’s nice to waide up to somebody good looking.” My previous surgeon had a couple of cases on his record where the knees came apart several months into recovery. I don’t need that.

Good luck today. Let us know what happens.

North Spain had rain for 41 of the 43 days I was overseas, snow on the last weekend of April.

... Got back home to NW GA ....And more rain since then. Global warming? Well, it’s a whopping 1/10 of one degree warmer this spang than it was in 1970. 43 years of global warming = 0.10 degree hotter?
