    Cute story

    This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
    There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
    Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
    Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.
    Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
    It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done

    This reminded me of a song on an old CD I have from a gospel group called "Acapella"

    Lyrics to Everybody Said (But Nobody Did) :
    Chorus:
    Everybody said that anybody could do
    The important things somebody should do
    Everybody knows that anybody could do
    All the good things that nobody did

    Well the preacher came to me and said what I ought to do
    If I wanted to make my religion true
    He'd do it himself but he really didn't have the time
    He said that the duty was mine

    Repeat Chorus (x2)

    Well the deacon came by and said give me a hand
    If you want to be going to the promised land
    Here is something that I don't have time to do
    So I better give it to you

    Repeat Chorus (x2)

    Well I'm too busy so I tell everybody
    The work's got to get done by somebody
    It could be done by anybody
    But nobody, nobody, nobody did

    Repeat Chorus (x2)

    All the good things that nobody did (x2)

    I had that on tape... along with several others of theirs.
    (You know, cassette tapes? They used to be VERY popular... listened to 'em in my Sony Walkman. Cassette tapes...? Walkman? Ring any bells?)

    what's a tape? I think they used to have those at video stores before they had dvd's.....

    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.

    On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!

    My first car had an 8 track....I would've loved to have had a cassette player in it...In fact, my first car was a Hornet, painted bright orange with UT (for the University of TN )on it :shiner:. It was a hand-me-down from my dad, a huge Vols fan. Hence, one of the reason I'm a Georgia girl!

    Oh, the horn played Rocky top...so embarassing
