Missing Taylor? Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Off Topic - Better Caring

I have thought of my Mom alot today and realised many of us sooner or later has to think of checking out what to expect with a nursing home, whether it is for us or a loved one. BetterCaring is a great site for anyone who needs answers to very important questions about the care in a home, finances and more. You can look at the care options that are available so that you can arrange the best kind of care and receive tips from BetterCaring care experts. You will also find a forum where you can discuss with others the experiences they have had in the care system. My Mother is in a home now, she has Alzheimer’s and this site would have been a great help when my Father and I were researching the best place for her. The site is easy to navigate and the stories users share will touch your heart.

Win Trip for Two to Party for the Patrol and A Soul Affair

Tayor Hicks Concert December 28th

We have all been waiting to hear news when Taylor will be doing more concerts. There is now news of a concert. There is a gala, in Nashville; on Friday night on Dec. 28th at the Peabody Hotel, the concert starts at 7:00 pm. Taylor will play for 90 minutes. The gala is black tie and tickets are $175 per person. This concert is a little to far away from me and with Christmas and all about as affordable as a Girard Perregaux watch. The 29th is our anniversary so maybe my husband will surprise me with a trip to Nashville. I plant the idea in his head and see what happens. But no matter what it will be great though to hear all about it from those that do go. I love reading all the recaps from those who attend shows. They have such fun and the excitement and fun comes through in their recaps, making those of us who did not attend feel like we were there with them.

Wishing I would win the Lotto

I have always wanted to visit Graceland, home of Elvis Presley and to see the ocean. I have never managed to do either of these. I buy the Ohio lottery tickets and hope to win big so I can travel around the world and see every landmark I can think of. Ever since Taylor Hicks won AI my places to visit have been added to. I tell my husband I want to go to shows Taylor is doing in other states or to visit Alabama. I have a friend who lives in Alabama and she and I have tried to talk my husband into moving to Alabama. My family and friends know that I play the lottery now and then, hoping to hit it big. My husband told me the other day if I win to first get a real estate agent and to make it one in Alabama because he knows we will probably move there. I couldn’t help but laugh, I guess he finally realizes he may as well accept I am a Taylor fan. He however knows we would probably not move away from Ohio, unless of course my oldest son and his girlfriend agreed to move with us.

Missing Taylor? Take me Home Country Roads

Everyone remembers the Top 9 week. Taylor sang John Denver’s Take Me Home Country Roads. Many people including Taylor did not like Taylor’s version, I however did like the song. It was not my favorite of Taylor’s but I still liked it. Maybe it is because I love country music. So lets watch Tay sing it again and also John Denver.

Taylor Hicks Themed Items

Not only am I a Taylor Hicks fan, I’m also a big fan of Elvis Presley. Practically everyone on my Dad’s side is a fan of Elvis. So today I was looking online to find some Elvis Christmas gifts for my aunts. I found a site that sells all kinds of different Elvis Gifts. From purses, hot sauce, makeup mirrors and Zippo lighters to almost anything you can imagine. There are so many items to choose from I could buy my whole family Elvis themed items for every holiday, for a very long time. This got me thinking to Taylor Hicks themed items. There are several already, but I can’t help but wonder will there soon come a day when we will be able to go one website and find almost anything we want with Taylor’s imagine on it? Just a thought for the day, which was going through my head.

Strange Taylor Hicks Dream

Last night I had a very strange dream. I dreamed that I lived in Alabama and I was driving down the road. Every few feet there was a sigh that said, land for sale, with an arrow pointing the direction to go. I passed quite a few of these signs and they all kept pointing the same direction. I kept thinking to my self that lots of people had land to sale. Finally after passing about a dozen of these signs I decided to go the direction that one of the signs showed.

I turned left then a few miles later I turned right, and so on and so on for quite a long trip. I finally ended up in an area that simply said, this is the land for you to buy. Next to that section of land was a beautiful log home. Now I don’t mean just an ordinary log home. This was a mansion of log home.

I was figuring my expenses in my head trying to decide if I could afford to buy land and build a home. Then I heard someone behind me say “Hi Dear, can I help you with something?” I turned around, and their behind me, was Taylor Hicks, he informed me he lived in that beautiful log home. I then awoke to the sound of my ringing telephone. I hate being interrupted from a great dream.

Missing Taylor? Trouble? If we don’t get our Hicks Fix, Maybe.

Ray Lamotagne – Trouble



Taylor Hicks – Trouble

What Could you do if You Were Rich and Famous?

My kids love playing The Sims game. Ok, I confess I do to. But today my daughter decided her home needed a theater inside it. She wanted some special carpet for the theater floor. So she typed into search to find some Sims home theater carpet. She came upon a site that sells actual theater carpet for your home. Can you imagine actually having enough money and a home that is large enough for a theater? The best I could do is make 1 room in my home a TV only room and put the carpet there. A 12x18 room would only cost me a little over $700 to put the carpet in. I guess I’ll pass on that. But just had to share with you the things we could do, if we were rich and famous.

Taylor Hicks - Black Friday Push

Black Friday is a major shopping day for the holidays. Today was the big push for Taylor Hicks CD. The fans really leapt into action and Taylor’s been climbing Amazon’s charts today. Here are Taylor’s Amazon sales figures as of 11:45 pm EST.


Amazon.com Sales Rank: #238 in Music
#1 in Music > R&B > Soul > Southern Soul

#1 in Music > R&B > Soul > Blue-Eyed Soul

#3 in Music > Classic Rock > Southern Rock



I had a friend and her daughter visit me today. They had heard me talk a little about Taylor Hicks, but they didn’t really know who he was. I showed them some videos on my PC and they listened to his music. They enjoyed Taylor so much they left my house and went to Wal-Mart to each buy a copy of his CD.

My friend’s daughter is 24 and she thinks Taylor is gorgeous. Well now anyway she said. They had seen some pictures I had of Taylor while he was idol. Today they saw all the pictures I have of Taylor. She said Dear Lord what happened to that man? He was ok before but now he is Hot! She is big into diet stuff and she asked me if I thought he had used hoodia or something. LOL

Taylor’s sales are doing great today and he also made at least 2 new fans, so all is good.

If you haven’t purchased Taylor Hicks yet or just want to get another to help his sales then follow this link to get your CD now.

Taylor Fan World - We Need a CD

I can not wait for Taylor to emerge with his new CD. Not only do I need a Taylor fix, but we need to divert attention back to what is important, because some fan blogs are causing google alerts to go out that show the fans as being pretty silly. It seems some people put too much time into what girl Taylor is or isn’t dating. Worse yet one site wants to make it seem as though he committed the automate crime. Now they even brag that the national media is getting involved. Not because this story is something unusual in the celebrity world, but because the fans are so involved in it. This site is excited over this. Come on get real “if” this goes nationwide it is just going to show that site and the defense sites as being silly. So once again Taylor’s fans are going to come off looking nuts.

I won’t deny that is true for some. All fan bases have some over the top fans. However this will just label the whole fan base that way. The site who started all this crap probably needs some affordable life insurance because they have exerted their self so much in trying to prove Taylor a liar, no correction they wanted to be the center of attention and they got that, but all this had to do some damage to their heart, because really can you do this crap to a person and not feel some guilt. I am sure their conscience has to be telling them how wrong it all is. They would never admit to it though.

Missing Taylor? He’ll Not Fade Away

Buddy Holly and The Crickets made Not Fade Away a famous song that all the kids, dressed in poodle skirts danced to. I wasn’t around in the 50’s but I have always enjoyed all the music from that era. I could not find a video of Buddy Holly singing this one. I did find a video of the song however, enjoy!



And of course here is Taylor’s version

Taylor having last laugh

On the thoughts of Taylor’s career and if he did or didn’t lie, I forgot to mention one very important thing. Taylor’s checking account. I would bet money that none of the “catch him in lie worshippers” can match his money. So I guess that means Taylor has the last laugh. The more they condemn Taylor, the more they actually help. More people stumble upon the site, who may have not heard of Taylor and they go to find out more about him. They listen to his music, they like what they hear; they become a fan, which gives Taylor even more money. Yep Taylor is having the last laugh.

Sticking by Taylor

Taylor Hicks, as we all know started out playing bar gigs and weddings. There is a site out there that wants to convince everyone that Taylor Hicks is a horrible and dishonest person. Saying he lied to his fans. I myself really don’t care either way. I will still buy Taylor’s music and go his concerts no matter what. What they fell to realize, is that a few short years ago Taylor Hicks would play a bar gig and there would be many empty bar stools. No matter what comes of this Taylor will no longer have to worry about having fans to come and hear him sing and buy his music. Taylor has a huge fan base and the majority of them will not let something this stupid stop them from enjoying Taylor and his music. No I don’t drink the supposed SP Kool-Aid, I also will not drink the let’s catch Taylor in a lie drink that they offer. Elvis Presley died from a drug overdose. This did not stop his fans and nothing will stop Taylor’s fans from sticking by him no matter what.

A Soul Patrol Themed Holiday Candle

I have a friend that makes christmas candles and every year she makes me some scented brightly colored candles to display around my home during the holidays. Today she brought me a new candle that she had made for me. I wish my digital camera was not broken, so I could show you this beautiful candle. I am hoping to get a new one soon and will post the picture then. For now I will just describe the candle. It is a bright green and it says Soul Patrol. The candle sets up and there is a wick to light on each letter. Sort of like in the middle of the letters going the length of the candle in bright red is written Patrol Your Soul. So the candles reads Soul Patrol, Patrol your Soul. She said when she hears me speak of the Soul Patrol it makes her think of something religious. Because she says you need to always Patrol (monitor) what is in your heart and soul. I will not be lighting this candle even though it has a delicious cinnamon scent. I want to always be reminded to Patrol my Soul.
