    Projected time period is around 25 days.

    Anything posted here is copyrighted and belonging to the OP (that is me). If you don't like it, don't post here. And don't tell me about HP TOS. If they got a problem with this thread, they will tell me and the experiment will be aborted.

    Have fun with it. big_smile

      Laughing like children (innocense is a wonderful thing, not knowing what lies ahead in life and living each day without a care in the world, exploring, learning)
      Living like lovers (there is a closeness you have with another person that is barr none.  You are loved, you feel loved and when you are together you act like children who don't have a care in the world as all is good)

        I read your profile...

        A long, long time ago...
        I can still remember
        How that music used to make me smile.
        And I knew if I had my chance
        That I could make those people dance
        And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.

        But February made me shiver
        With every paper I’d deliver.
        Bad news on the doorstep;
        I couldn’t take one more step.

        I can’t remember if I cried
        When I read about his widowed bride,
        But something touched me deep inside
        The day the music died.

        So bye-bye, miss american pie.
        Drove my chevy to the levee,
        But the levee was dry.
        And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
        Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
        "this’ll be the day that I die."

        Did you write the book of love,
        And do you have faith in God above,
        If the Bible tells you so?
        Do you believe in rock ’n roll,
        Can music save your mortal soul,
        And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

        Well, I know that you’re in love with him
        `cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym.
        You both kicked off your shoes.
        Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

        I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
        With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
        But I knew I was out of luck
        The day the music died.

        I started singin’,
        "bye-bye, miss american pie."
        Drove my chevy to the levee,
        But the levee was dry.
        Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
        And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
        "this’ll be the day that I die."

        Now for ten years we’ve been on our own
        And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone,
        But that’s not how it used to be.
        When the jester sang for the king and queen,
        In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
        And a voice that came from you and me,

        Oh, and while the king was looking down,
        The jester stole his thorny crown.
        The courtroom was adjourned;
        No verdict was returned.
        And while Lennon read a book of Marx,
        The quartet practiced in the park,
        And we sang dirges in the dark
        The day the music died.

        We were singing,
        "bye-bye, miss american pie."
        Drove my chevy to the levee,
        But the levee was dry.
        Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
        And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
        "this’ll be the day that I die."

        Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
        The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
        Eight miles high and falling fast.
        It landed foul on the grass.
        The players tried for a forward pass,
        With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

        Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
        While the sergeants played a marching tune.
        We all got up to dance,
        Oh, but we never got the chance!
        `cause the players tried to take the field;
        The marching band refused to yield.
        Do you recall what was revealed
        The day the music died?

        We started singing,
        "bye-bye, miss american pie."
        Drove my chevy to the levee,
        But the levee was dry.
        Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
        And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
        "this’ll be the day that I die."

        Oh, and there we were all in one place,
        A generation lost in space
        With no time left to start again.
        So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
        Jack flash sat on a candlestick
        Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.

        Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
        My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
        No angel born in hell
        Could break that satan’s spell.
        And as the flames climbed high into the night
        To light the sacrificial rite,
        I saw satan laughing with delight
        The day the music died

        He was singing,
        "bye-bye, miss american pie."
        Drove my chevy to the levee,
        But the levee was dry.
        Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
        And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
        "this’ll be the day that I die."

        I met a girl who sang the blues
        And I asked her for some happy news,
        But she just smiled and turned away.
        I went down to the sacred store
        Where I’d heard the music years before,
        But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.

        And in the streets: the children screamed,
        The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
        But not a word was spoken;
        The church bells all were broken.
        And the three men I admire most:
        The father, son, and the holy ghost,
        They caught the last train for the coast
        The day the music died.

        And they were singing,
        "bye-bye, miss american pie."
        Drove my chevy to the levee,
        But the levee was dry.
        And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
        Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
        "this’ll be the day that I die."

        They were singing,
        "bye-bye, miss american pie."
        Drove my chevy to the levee,
        But the levee was dry.
        Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
        Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die."

        To fade.

              Yeah, the Dealer was a killer; he was evil and mean,
              And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes.
              He snorted his <snipped> through a century note,
