Hear it here. 1) This song is from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, which was released on Halloween Day, 1962. Do you like scary movies?I love scary movies.  Not necessarily ones drenched in blood,  just scary ones. 2) The "Baby Jane" of the title is Baby http://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/saturday-9-halloween.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-5213600212462781909Thu, 29 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +00002026-10-29T00:00:00.117-07:001.The Hands: "You can't make me knit!"2.

Hear it here.   1) In this song, Donald Mills of the Mills Brothers encourages us to "puff, puff, puff" our cares away. When did you most recently smoke a cigarette?  When I was 22.  Never started again after that and that's when my hubby quit as well.  2) In the 1930s, when this http://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/saturday9-smoke-rings-1933.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-723028352115992880Thu, 22 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +00002026-10-22T00:00:00.121-07:001. Someone "lifted"  a photo of mine (off this blog)and put it up on their Commercial Blog, and then offered to make it for anyone at a price.  Not even their own work!  It's of ceramic, a Halloween tea set.  In the photo, it's sitting on my dining room table, and on a doily that my mother made.  I can't find the miscreant post again to save my soul, but I have foundhttp://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/three-on-thursday_0834147898.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-2044140836296798362Wed, 21 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +00002026-10-21T17:47:09.035-07:00 Looking North to the Santa Cruz Peninsula from New Brighton Beachhttp://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/wordless-wednesday-shhhhhhh_01352868889.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-375495366668871456Mon, 19 Oct 2026 19:27:44 +00002026-10-19T17:19:22.859-07:00Saturday 9: Somewhere Over Laredo (2025)   Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.   1) In this song, Laney Wilson namechecks Tito's Vodka. Is there a product you you are very brand loyal to? (It doesn't have to be liquor. Maybe you always reach for Dawn Dishwashing Liquid, even if another soap is on sale.)We have some random DWL from Costco or something.  I http://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/a-very-late-saturday9-somewhere-over.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-772779587259841669Mon, 19 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +00002026-10-19T00:00:00.128-07:00 http://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/sweet-sweet-reminder-of-past-monday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-6937661398726704946Sun, 18 Oct 2026 09:11:26 +00002026-10-18T02:11:26.351-07:00https://innocenceproject.org/cases/melissa-lucio/This woman is innocent.  Please…just Read the article and ask yourself why Texas is still pushing to kill this woman.  Monstrous! http://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/screaming-itcan-texas-please-just-stop.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-4051304904571254167Sun, 18 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +00002026-10-18T00:00:00.118-07:00  Now THAT....

The week has been going by so fast that it is scary!2. At least we aren't at war with anyone else, YET, although the back door to Putin's power just opened long enough to drop a deal through it, to control even more wealth than the man has ever known.. Guess who opened it?  So, is this what the Twin Oligarchs spoke of when they had the little private talk on board Putin's Ship in Alaska?&http://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/three-on-thursday-warning-mini-anti-war.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-1453509973135789895Wed, 14 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +00002026-10-14T00:00:00.119-07:00http://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/wordless-wednesday-shhhhhhh.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-2986929835152943790Mon, 12 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +00002026-10-12T00:00:00.123-07:00I can't post videos anymore that I know of......

Hear it here. 1) When is the last time you shed a tear? Last night- I'm a big cry baby for melodramas. Plus, I even shed tears when I'm laughing. 2) Lyricist/producer Bob Crewe recalled he got the idea for this song while watching a movie on TV. "Big girls don't cry" was a line from the 1956 film Slightly Scarlet. http://zippiknits.blogspot.com/2026/10/saturday-9-big-girls-dont-cry-1962.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115059.post-6483384387527548410Thu, 08 Oct 2026 07:00:00 +00002026-10-08T00:00:00.122-07:00 1.
