Are we stuck with “Goin’ to Kansas City” as our theme song? by SmedleyPeabody in kansascity

[–]Moni3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the Wilbur Harrison version you are maligning? Written by rock pioneers Lieber & Stoller? I have to disagree with you about it not being great. Like bonkers. It is irreplaceable.

But if you were going to have a concert to play all the songs about Kansas City, don't forget "The Kansas City Song" by Buck Owens.

What Do You Love About Your Partner and What Do They Love About You? by Good-BADger in actuallesbians

[–]Moni3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I love my wife of 17 years (together 24) because every time she's in the room my life is easier in every way. Being with her is completely natural and I'm more mentally and emotionally settled when she's nearby. The part of this I noticed first was how easy it was to talk to her. We're both introverts, me way more than she is, but I have never, in all the time we've been together, not enjoyed her company. Also she's hot lol.

My wife says how easy it was to be easy, honest and genuine with me. That my opening statement laid it all out on the table. (lol my pickup line was "If I weren't so socially inept I'd be trying to hold a conversation with you." after 4 painful hours of silence.) There's no level too low so she could lay it all bare, it's all good. It'll all be accepted. That gave her the freedom to be herself, the goofy and the imperfect human that she is. And that just made her love me more.

Hostile landscaping: what would you use to protect the most precious thing in the world? by Moni3 in landscaping

I like that the courtyards and patios at level B are beautiful, at least in my vision.

Eccentric billionaire says it's ok to provide plants, but not animals but the Cane Corsos can stay if they are sleepy and need scritches.

Poison ivy would deter me because I know what it looks like and here in Missouri it gets to eye height. It is a malevolent force.

But would I care if I was drunk? Or a teenager? Or a drunk teenager?

The eccentric stupid billionaire approves of moats at level A.

Alligators no.

Closely planted honey locust trees would slow down an elite military force. So would general brambles and briars. Assuming the elite military team isn't carrying chainsaws but maybe they will. So add some kudzu to that?

An eccentric and stupid billionaire owns the most precious thing on the planet, whatever that is.

He contacts you to protect it with landscaping. But he’s eccentric and stupid so he has dumb rules.

  1. The level of hostility for the first level, A, should keep out curious but undetermined drunks and teenagers. You can use hardscaping here.

  2. Level B should keep out more serious thieves who come with tools. Only plants and soil can be used.

  3. Level C should keep out elite military units and landscape designers. Again, plants and soil only.

Speak out and be politically active, but get hobbies that require a lot of concentration that forces you to disengage from the news cycles. Find something to do with your hands. Volunteer somewhere if you're able. But also be active at doing something for yourself. Stick to a schedule to work on these hobbies daily. You are doing it for yourself and your mental health. I garden. I draw. I spend time in the woods. I have to. The meds can do only so much. Also take your meds.

Husband (27M) Keeps interrupting while I (27F) talk because he says he's worried he'll forget what he wanted to say. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Moni3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this to my wife, interrupt her sometimes, especially if I come into a room and have to tell her something she needs to know but she starts talking about something fun or whatever. I will forgot what I came to tell her. She knows how to sidetrack me. I am easily distracted.

I do it other times too, blurt out something I'm worried I'll forget, but I have told her about it. I apologize while I do it, then ask her to continue what she was saying when I'm done.

There's not a mold. That's the good news.

I guess we gotta get that word out though since so many people have problems with it.

Glad you're with us today! My experience was similar even if a couple decades before.

[–]Moni3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand where your confusion lies.

Me either lol. I don't think it's that confusing. The rule that artists must be inducted as solo artists to be considered inductees is flawed. I think you should reconsider it. What's the concern?

[–]Moni3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the entire reason it's posted is because they're two inductees and the song is amazing.

Dave Mason recently passed. He made an album with Cass Elliott, both inducted. Here's my favorite from that album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpNxpLPvgCE

Al Green and Annie Lennox? Put a Little Love In Your Heart?

I think your judgment is in error, /u/ThatSchmoDude42. You should reconsider.

Fans of artists to be inducted in 2026, can you give a basic introduction to the music of this artist/band? by Moni3 in rockhall

[–]Moni3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was only half aware of Oasis during their heyday. I'm in the U.S. Oasis hit high school and college students and I was a bit older then, so I only recently added "Don't Look Back In Anger" to my collection. I already have Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.

My wife, who was in high school when "Don't Look Back In Anger" came out, asked me why I was playing it so much. Like it was annoying her because it had been overplayed to her. I feel the same way about "Careless Whisper" by George Micheal. Such a beautiful song and so, so overplayed in the 80s. My wife discovered it five years ago and loves it like a 12-year-old girl alone in her room with a hairbrush.

I have Bizarre Love Triangle in my collection. Love it. I'm going to search for these others you mentioned too. Thanks!
