Rollercoaster



Recommended Posts

Anybody remember the old disco song, Rollercoaster?

Rollercoaster, wow-owe-wow say what,

Rollercoaster, woo Hoo HooO HOOOO...

Well, that's what life's been lately so that song won't get out of my head. Instead of trying to make it go away, does anybody wanna get up and sing and dance to it with me?

I miss you gals & wish I had more time, but Rollercoaster, woo hooooooooo hooo HOOOO!

Ohio Players! I actually saw them live at a small venue in Deep Ellum, which is in Dallas. That was probably about 15 years ago...of course, the song is a bit older than that. Thanks for the rewind! Cindy

OMgosh I forgot about Deep Ellum! Been there a time or two. Some club called the Trees? Maybe? Something like that? Or maybe that was the name of the band? Anyhow, it was fun when I went around 15 years ago. Roller Coaster was out in 1975 or so. I remember because I was in the 5th grade and there was a rumor that the screams in the song came from somebody running into the recording studio and stabbing these 2 girls that were standing there listening to the song being recorded. So they left the screams on the record since it was a song about roller coasters. ???? huh? Bad rumor but when you are 10 anything sounds possible! So that song used to scare me. I'd sit and listen for the screams and imagine these poor girls being stabbed. Yeah, thanks for the rewind!! :)

Lisa/DeLarla be sure to keep us updated on the latest sagas. We are missing you!!!

Hey, Kathy, did you live in Dallas, or just visiting? There is a club called Trees and lotf of pretty good alternative bands play there. I spent more time than I care to mention there, before I got married 9 years ago...Ohio Players performed at a club called Club Clearview.

I lived in Dallas for about 6 years. I moved there in '85 and started my Junior year at NTSU...Oh wait, it's UNT now. In Denton. I took the long road through college and graduated with way too many credit hours in '91. Then moved back to North Carolina. I actually lived in Carrollton and commuted to Denton. I worked in Addison for a bit, too.

Trees must be the place then. I dated a sax player that went to UNT, then he transferred to UT Austin. He came back in town with a band and me and some girlfriends went there to hear them play. They were great! I did a few other trips down there but it was too wild for my tastes, even then!!! Not sure if I ever went to Club Clearview. Funny how marriage changes our priorities!!! hehe. Fun times, though!

Crazy how those rumors got around back then since the internet didn't even exist, but I heard the same rumor in Southern California. The screams were from a girl that got murdered during the recording of the song. Pretty funny since I worked in recording studios, and the whole reason they go into the studios is to block out all the sounds from outside... duh, because they are soundproof! But till this day, you can't help but listen for that scream!

Yep, it's a great ride so far... but floating on the raft sounds pretty good about now, too. I'll let you guys in pretty soon. I'll have a website up and running by October.

Say what? Roller coaster, woo hooo hooo hooooooo.

Okay, now somebody tell me who sang Blame it on the Rain... that's the only line I can remember, but we've sure had some funky weather lately. Great, now I'm gonna have Play that Funky Music Whiteboy stuck right after the Weather Girls get out of my head.

NICE TO KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HEARD OF DISCO!

OMG you just reminded me of a story. I went to Vegas for my sister's 21st birthday with her and my mom and we went to the Piano Bar that is in Harrahs. Before the dueling pianos there was karaoke, and there was this guy there, he must have been 75 or 80, and he sang "Play that Funky Music White Boy", and a song by the Bee Gee's whos name I don't remember. It was so funny! He wasn't half bad either!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
