This is installment number 2 of the Billy Joel collection. It's amazing how Billy captured every day scenarios that anyone can relate to.

 

This song is dedicated to everyone that is being told what is best for them or that they are doing something wrong.

 

It's important to have strong convictions and stay true to yourself. While it's great to receive advice from others, ultimately it's up to you to make your own decisions in order to achieve true happiness. Failure to do so can lead to feelings of regret, which can be a burden to bear on your own. It's crucial to follow your dreams and pursue your passions in life, as this is the surest way to live a fulfilling and satisfying life.

Lyrics

 

Got a call from an old friend we used to be real close

Said he couldn't go on the American way

Closed the shop, sold a house, bought a ticket to the west coast

Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

 

I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore this is my life

Go ahead with your own life leave me alone

 

I never said you had to offer me a second chance

(I never said you had to)

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

(I never said)

 

I still belong (still belong)

Don't get me wrong (don't get me wrong)

You can speak your mind but not on my time

 

They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place

Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else

Oh, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space

Either way it's okay, you wake up with yourself

 

I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore this is my life

Go ahead with your own life leave me alone

 

I never said you had to offer me a second chance

(I never said you had to)

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

(Gf circumstance)

 

I still belong (still belong)

Don't get me wrong (don't get me wrong)

You can speak your mind but not on my time

 

I don't care what you say anymore this is my life

Go ahead with your own life leave me alone

LE CORBEAU ET LE RENARD

 

Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché,

Tenait en son bec un fromage.

Maître Renard, par l'odeur alléché,

Lui tint à peu près ce langage :

Et bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau,

Que vous êtes joli ! que vous me semblez beau !

Sans mentir, si votre ramage

Se rapporte à votre plumage,

Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois.

À ces mots le Corbeau ne se sent pas de joie,

Et pour montrer sa belle voix,

Il ouvre un large bec, laisse tomber sa proie.

Le Renard s'en saisit, et dit : Mon bon Monsieur,

Apprenez que tout flatteur

Vit aux dépens de celui qui l'écoute.

Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage sans doute.

Le Corbeau honteux et confus

Jura, mais un peu tard, qu'on ne l'y prendrait plus

THE FOX AND THE CROW

 

Master Crow, perched on a tree,

Holding in its beak a cheese.

Master Fox, enticed by the smell,

He spoke to him more or less in this language:

And hello, Mr. Raven,

How pretty you are! you seem to me beautiful !

Without lying, if your prattling

Relates to your plumage,

You are the Phoenix of the hosts of these woods.

At these words the Raven feels no joy,

And to show his beautiful voice,

He opens his beak wide, lets his prey fall.

The Fox seizes it, and says: My good sir,

Learn that every flatterer

Lives at the expense of the listener.

This lesson is well worth a cheese no doubt.

The Ashamed and Confused Raven

Swore, but a little late, that we wouldn't take it anymore

Jean de la Fontaine

Wicked is always relatable.

Still pulling through a slow order, WAPO is seen approaching the Penney Road overpass on a beautiful fall morning behind CSX C40-8 9280. I'm sure GSP can relate, but this spot has become horribly overgrown in recent years, the only slight consolation being the nice burst of fall colors that it brings.

Oh, why can't I be what you need?

A new improved version of me

But I'm nothing so good, no, I'm nothing...

Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs

Of violence, of love, and of sorrow

I beg for just one more tomorrow!

Where you hold me down, fold me in

Deep deep deep in the heart of your sins

I'd break in two over you

I'd break in two and each piece of me dies

And only you can give the breath of life!

But you don't see me, you don't

Here I'm pinned between darkness and light

Bleached and blinded by these nights

Where I'm tossing and tortured till dawn

By you, visions of you, then you're gone

The shock bleeds the red from my face

When I hear someone's taken my place

How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel?

When all, all that I did was for you...

I'd break in two over you

I'd break in two and each piece of me dies

And only you can give the breath of life!

But you don't see me, you don't

I'd break in two over you

I'd break in two and each piece of me dies

And only you can give the breath of life!

But you don't see me, you don't

I'd break in two over you

I'd break in two over you

Over you

I'd break in two

I would break in two for you

Now you see me

Now you don't

Now you need me

Now you don't

"Song To Say Goodbye"

 

You are one of God's mistakes,

You crying, tragic waste of skin,

I'm well aware of how it aches ,

And you still won't let me in.

Now I'm breaking down your door,

To try and save your swollen face ,

Though I don't like you anymore,

You lying, trying waste of space..

 

Before our innocence was lost,

You were always one of those ,

Blessed with lucky sevens ,

And the voice that made me cry .

My Oh My.

 

You were mother nature's son ,

Someone to whom I could relate ,

Your needle and your damage done,

Remains a sordid twist of fate.

Now I'm trying to wake you up ,

To pull you from the liquid sky ,

Coz if I don't we'll both end up ,

With just your song to say goodbye.

My Oh My.

 

A song to say goodbye,

A song to say goodbye ,

A song to say...

 

Before our innocence was lost,

You were always one of those,

Blessed with lucky sevens,

And the voice that made me cry.

 

It's a song to say goodbye.

For a generation of viewers, the familiar “beep, beep” of Warner Brothers’ cartoon Roadrunner was the background sound of Saturday mornings.

 

(Although commonly quoted as "meep meep", Warner Brothers, the current owner of all trademarks relating to the duo, lists "beep, beep" as the Road Runner's sound, along with "meep, meep." )

 

Despite the cartoon character’s perennial victories over Wile E. Coyote, real-life coyotes present a real danger to Roadrunners; Coyotes can reach a top speed of 43 miles an hour—more than twice as fast as roadrunners.

 

Roadrunner can outrace a human, kill a rattlesnake, and thrive in the harsh landscapes of the Desert Southwest. Roadrunners reach two feet from sturdy bill to white tail tip, with a bushy blue-black crest and mottled plumage that blends well with dusty shrubs. As they run, they hold their lean frames nearly parallel to the ground and rudder with their long tails.

 

Roadrunners have evolved a range of adaptations to deal with the extremes of desert living. Like seabirds, they secrete a solution of highly concentrated salt through a gland just in front of each eye, which uses less water than excreting it via their kidneys and urinary tract. Moisture-rich prey including mammals and reptiles supply them otherwise-scarce water in their diet. Both chicks and adults flutter the un-feathered area beneath the chin (gular fluttering) to dissipate heat.

 

Roadrunners eat poisonous prey, including venomous lizards and scorpions, with no ill effect, although they’re careful to swallow horned lizards head-first with the horns pointed away from vital organs. Roadrunners can also kill and eat rattlesnakes, often in tandem with another roadrunner: as one distracts the snake by jumping and flapping, the other sneaks up and pins its head, then bashes the snake against a rock. If it’s is too long to swallow all at once, a roadrunner will walk around with a length of snake still protruding from its bill, swallowing it a little at a time as the snake digests.

 

Based on banding records, the oldest roadrunner was at least 7 years old.

From the Blue Album, AKA, the Magical Mystery Tour.

 

That was totally random. I was looking for a catchy name relating to the blue sky. I googled, "Blue Lyrics" and discovered that The Magical Mystery Tour was originally titled, "Blue". And, "The Fool On the Hill" somehow fit the photo. He is wearing the uniform: cotton shorts and T-shirt with cigarettes and 8 oz. of water in the pockets. This is what they wear when Search and Rescue bring them in.

The Swiss Way relates the history of Switzerland surrounded by a scenic landscape. The trail was constructed as a joint project of the cantons on the occasion of the 700th anniversary celebrations of the Confederation (1291-1991). It begins on the Rütli Meadow, where the Confederation was founded, and ends in Brunnen in the Swiss Expatriates Square (Platz der Auslandschweizer).

 

This piece of national architecture of 19th Century relates to south of Polavshchyna and that as of nowadays has disappeared. It was built in 70th of 19th Century.

The house from Revasivka village has never been reconstructed since it had been built. Its window frames were re-made in the mid-50th of 20th Century. The walls are decorated with clay of different color; inside there is a carved cupboard, painted trunk and national pictures in interior.

The house from Revazivka village was discovered in 1976 by an architect Lukianchuk V.D. and restored in the Museum in 1977-1978.

Few words about Revazivka village, as it were never mentioned in modern sources. In the middle of 19th Century, this village was called Novakivka and belonged to Ploshchanska volost of Poltava povit in Poltava hubernia.

It was a village of a proprietor, with 179 souls in 18 yards. Officially, Revazivka is called sloboda. There were 219 inhabitants in 44 homesteads.

Nowadays, the village of Revazivka has joined to Grekopavlivka village. It now relates to Stovbynska village council in Novosanzharskyi district of Poltavska Region.

The house is of two rooms (a home, a mudroom), of combined structure. A two-room house could be met only in poor villages belonging to proprietors. A three-room house was more traditional for Poltava area.

The house is built on piles. Above the windows, piles are covered with shingles. A longitudinal ceiling beam and upper parts of piles have tips on sidewall adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. A lumber lay on tips to support auxiliary beams of the roof. Ceiling comprises ceiling beam and slyzhni. The slyzhni are surfaced by caber, and then covered with clay.

The four-slope roof of the house is low, supported by rafters and covered with cane sheaves, as there were a lot of cane in the waterlog river valley near Revazivka.

Combines, log and framework structure of a national dwelling on south Poltavshchyna was typical of this region, poor in building wood.

Especially interesting was filling of this house’s framework walls: there were twiggen with mullein. This grass grew high near Revazivka, and had strong stems. The local say: “Even shipworms never eat mullein”.

This is a house of two rooms (a home and a mudroom) with framework and log walls. Under the windows, walls are framework: horizontal hlytsi are nailed to vertical piles, with osier between them. Above the windows, planks of three parts are fixed to piles. A longitudinal ceiling beam is fixed thereto and two transverse ones (one in the home, another – in the mudroom). The longitudinal beam and tops of planks have overlaps on sidewall, adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. Inside and outside, the house is clayed and whitewashed, except for back wall, only clayed. The house stays now on concrete basement.

Area – 53.92 square meters (5.15 x 10.47).

 

Хата з с. Ревазівка, Новосанжарського р-ну, Полтавської обл.

 

Пам′ятка традиційного народного будівництва XIX століття в південній Полтавщині, яких на даний момент в регіоні не існує. Побудована в 70 – ті роки ХІХ століття.

Хата з с. Ревазівка від її існування не перебудовувалася. У середині 50-х років ХХ століття перероблені віконні рами. Підводка стін кольоровими глинами, різьблений мисник, мальована скриня, народний живопис в інтер’єрі.

Хата с. Ревазівка виявлена в 1976 році архітектором Лук′янчуком В.Д. і реставрована в Музеї у 1977 – 1978 роках.

Коротко про село Ревазівку, оскільки в сучасних джерелах воно не згадується. Поселення Ревазівка в середині XIX століття називалося Новаківка і належало до Площанської волості Полтавського повіту Полтавської губернії.

Було воно поміщицьким селом і проживало там 179 душ у 18 дворах. Старожили розповідають, що Ревазівкою володів пан Ревазов. У 1926 році Ревазівка офіційно зветься слободою, з числом мешканців – 219, які проживали у 44 господарствах.

Зараз село Ревазівка з’єднане з селом Грекопавлівкою і належить до Стовбинської сільради Новосанжарського району Полтавської обл..

Хата дводільна /хата, сіни/, комбінованої конструкції. Дводільні хати траплялися тут тільки в бідних поміщицьких селах. Традиційно на Полтавщині було тридільне житло.

Хата збудована на сохах. На сохи, вище вікон покладено ощіп. Подовжній сволок та верхні вівнця ощіпу мають з покутнього причілку випуски, утворюючи значний винос даху. На випуски укладено брус, на який спираються наріжники даху. Основу хатньої стелі утворюють сволок і слижні. По слижнях укладено щільно жердини, а зверху шар м’ятої глини.

Чотирисхилий дах хати невисокий, на кроквах. Покриття з очерету, техніка – «парки». Очерету біля Ревазівки росло багато на заболоченій річковій долині.

Комбінована зрубно – каркасна конструкція народного житла південної Полтавщини була характерною для цього регіону, бідного на будівельний ліс.

Особливо цікавим було заповнення каркасу стін даної хати с. Ревазівка: стіни були заплетені коров’яком. Коров′як поблизу Ревазівки ріс високий, з міцним стеблом. «Коров′яка і шашель не бере».

Дводільне житло (хата, сіни). Стіни каркасно – зрубні. До вікон стіни каркасні: до вертикальних сох прибито горизонтальні глиці, між якими всторч заплетена лоза. На сохи, вище вікон, покладео ощіп з трьох вінців. В ощіп врубано подовжній сволок та два поперечні (один у хаті і один у сінях). Подовжній сволок та верхні вінця ощіпу мають випуски з покутнього причілку, утворюючи значний винос даху. Хата ззовні і всередині обмащена і побілена крім задньої, порудованої стіни. Хата встановлена на бетонний фундамент.

Площа - 53,92 м2 (5.15 х 10.47).

A completely new view, for a long time on my wishlist, and this day I finally got there. Clouds and sun were playing games, but I was able to make some nice sunny shots with the town of Sankt-Goarshausen in the background. This spot can easily be reached on foot. Just beware when parking the car during tourist season: the parkings at the Loreley site will be very busy.

Burg Katz in the background was built in 1393 and is now privately owned. It's name relates to burg Maus, in Wellmich, that can be seen on this picture www.flickr.com/photos/65238008@N03/7297555396/in/album-72....

The house relates to the middle 19th Century; its last owner was Kuryk Mykola Vasylovych. The house comprises of three parts – a house, a mudroom and a small house. Its external walls aren’t covered, only strips are painted around its windows and doors. Such strips are specific for houses from Vyzhytskyj and Putylivskyj districts of Chernivtsi Region. Art painting and strips are very distinct decorations for houses of lowland Bukovyna. The house’s joyful interior is created by grapes depicted on the stove, around windows and on pokut (the sacred place of a traditional home). The most widespread patterns in Korytne village are grapes, arrow-wood leaves, hops and crosses on bases.

The house is built of smereka and poplar wood, its area equals to 58.8 square meters.

 

Хата із села Коритне Вижницького району Чернівецької області

 

Датується серединою ХІХ ст. Останній власник - Курик Микола Васильович. Складається із трьох частин - хати, сіней і хатчини. Зовні хата не мащена, тільки підведені смуги коло вікон та дверей. Така підводка характерна тільки для хат з Вижницького та Путильського районів Чернівецької області. Характерною декоративною оздобою для хат підгірської Буковини є розпис і підводка. Святковий інтер’єр у великій хаті створює розпис у виноград на печі, коло вікон на покуті. Найбільш поширений розпис у с.Коритному – «виноград», «калиновий лист», «хмелик» та «хрести на постаменті».

Хата з Буковини. Складена вона з кругляка смереки і тополі в прості замки з торцями. До верхів зрубу торці подовжуються і переходять ніби в кронштейни. Дах чотирисхилий, покритий соломою.

Площа споруди – 58,8 кв.м.

Scam or mistake - you decide! This relates to copyright accusation (libellous) on my original photo 'G'Day' of this same flower on my photostream where someone is trying to claim it as theirs.

 

This photograph here is also of the same flower, taken as the EXIF data shows - exactly 2 and a half minutes after the first, but from a slightly different angle.

 

Did the person alleging copyright breach take this one also? If they think someone with a 90% sight loss is an easy touch - that would be a mistake.

 

I have also added on my photostream a photo of the same flower *G'Day 2* taken just now after the accusation with the same yellow dogwood and rose leaves. In this one the dahlia is looking tired.

 

You can see the original accusation and my responses on my original photo here.

It relates to 18th Century. As of the time of transfer to the museum, the house was the oldest in the village and belonged to Oros family. The house has two premises: house and mudroom. It is one of the most ancient types of house planning in Zakarpattia. Walls of the house are constructed with wide oak cut blocks. Its high four-sloping roof is covered with straw.

This house is the oldest Zakarpattia house in our museum. It displays specific features of national building in valley of Tereblia-river and the middle reaches of Tysa River. The house’s area is 35.4 square meters.

Датується XVIII ст. На час перенесення до музею хата була найстарішою в селі і належала родині Оросів. Хата дводільна: хата, сіни – є одним із давніх варіантів планування житла на Закарпатті. Стіни хати складені з широких дубових колених брусів. Високий чотирисхилий дах вкритий соломою.

Це найстаріша хата Закарпаття в експозиції нашого музею. Вона розкриває особливості народного будівництва у долині ріки Теребля та середньої течії р. Тиси. Площа хати — 35, 4 кв.м.

Washington is a city in Beaufort County, North Carolina, United States, located on the northern bank of the Pamlico River. The population was 9,744 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Beaufort County. It is commonly known as "Original Washington" or "Little Washington" to distinguish it from Washington D.C. The closest major city is Greenville, approximately 20 miles (32 km) to the west.

 

Established in 1776 on land donated by Col. James Bonner, Washington is the first city named after George Washington, the first president of the United States.

 

Washington has a range of historical buildings and landmarks, with some dating back to colonial times and others of Victorian and Arts and Crafts design. A self-guided Historic Walking Tour allows visitors to explore the neighborhoods. A Farmer's and Artisan's Market is held regularly on the town's green areas on the waterfront.

 

The North Carolina Estuarium, located on the Pamlico River, includes more than 200 scientific and historic exhibits relating to the ecology of North Carolina's estuaries, the Tar-Pamlico River and Pamlico Sound. The Estuarium also includes a 3/4 mile boardwalk along the Pamlico River.

 

The Turnage Theatre, a restored historic vaudeville and movie theater, reopened in the downtown area in 2014 and hosts plays and other types of live entertainment. Between 1993 and 2017 a downtown music and art festival called "Music in the Streets" was held every third Friday during summer to attract people to downtown shops and restaurants. A cannonball from the Union attack on Washington during the American Civil War is displayed in an attorney's office on Water Street, and many nearby towns also contain Civil War artifacts and museums. Civil War re-enacters meet in the outskirts of Washington every year. (Wikipedia)

Raven hair and ruby lips

Sparks fly from her fingertips

Echoed voices in the night

She's a restless spirit on an endless flight

Woo-hoo, witchy woman

See how high she flies

Woo-hoo, witchy woman

She got the moon in her eyes

She held me spellbound in the night

Dancing shadows and firelight

Crazy laughter in another room

And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon

Woo-hoo, witchy woman

See how high she flies

Woo-hoo, witchy woman

She got the moon in her eyes

Well, I know you want a lover

Let me tell you, brother

She's been sleepin' in the Devil's bed

And there's some rumors going 'round

Someone's underground

She can rock you in the nighttime 'til your skin turns red

I really relate to Mina's expression here these days.

“Power. If you had power, you had food. You had medicine. You had freedom. She saw those around her fall ill and die, and she equated power with life. One day, Kate thought, I’ll have power. No one will be able to do this to me again.”

P.S. And because Freedom needs to be somewhere relatable. Just how free can one be among nature?

 

Plenty question the word freedom. Is it enough to just be able to do as you please a sign of freedom? We are so caught up in our mind that we do not realize we wrapped restrictive chains around our very existence and just live in an illusion of being free. No one is really 'free'.

Humans are predators and our primordial instinct is to lock in on our subject. Food, friend, or foe, with pinpoint accuracy. Draw your attention to the airplane above. Tracking it smoothly across the sky is one of the most complicated neurological functions our brain does.

Zebras have found a way to disrupt that with their stripes. After all its a matter of milliseconds of life and death in their world.

 

Centering is one of the established compositional styles I favor when setting up a shot. It immediately draws the viewer's attention.

 

I ask you to look at my previous photo and see how I set it up. Now it is quite obvious. With a digital camera it's is easy, but that shot was with an analog camera with an offset viewfinder. Nonetheless it worked.

 

Spoiler alert: but as photographers our main concern is not with the center of the image, but our attention is how the scene relates to the four corners and frame.

 

Sometimes with the cold winter nights, also comes some sadness

Two lovers stand in the surf, locked in a kiss that looks poetic… until you remember the water is cold, the sand is uneven, and someone definitely stepped on something squishy.

 

This black‑and‑white capture turns a classic romantic moment into a slice of real‑world chaos, the kind of beach date where passion meets poor planning. It’s tender, messy, and painfully relatable, wrapped in a snarky wink at how love actually feels outside the movies.

Talking can help you think differently about diabetes. Relating to other people with diabetes could bring positive changes and help you work through daily challenges, like diet and exercising.

If you have pre-diabetes or diabetes, self-testing your blood sugar (blood glucose) can be an important tool in managing your diabetes and preventing complications. I had pre-diabetes last year; talking and asking helped me a lot. For those that never saw a lancet before, here a little info about them.

"Lancets are small needle-like medical supplies. With a lancet, you can make a tiny prick in your skin to obtain a few drops of blood for testing in a diabetic monitor. Lancing devices are used with lancets. Most have a spring action that allows the lancet to move quickly enough to pierce the skin."

As a freelancer I can relate to this image, the struggle to make living using antiquated equipment, the long hours and stressful delays.

I made the image in taxi on the way back from a meeting with a potential client on the banks of the Cairo Nile, we were stuck in the mother of all traffic jams, the driver was tired and stressed, I was, for once content as I had eaten fish and concluded what I thought was a successful meeting. Now I look back, the real success was this image, which is one of my favourites.

The great Charlemagne chose Aachen as his imperial residence at the start of the 9th century. As the first Holy Roman Emperor his dream was to the turn the city into a new Rome. For the next 600 years or so, every Holy Roman Emperor was crowned in the city. And today, five hundred years after the last coronation Aachen still glows with the regalia of those ceremonies.

 

There are brilliant golden shrines in the Cathedral, like the reliquary holding Charlemagne’s bones, while the cathedral treasury is a breathtaking trove of Medieval riches. Today Aachen’s tourist board has set out a “Route Charlemagne” to show you around the sights relating to its former ruler, like the City Hall, site of his palace and where the Imperial coronation feast was held.

...... I can relate.... : ]

 

I had to 'relocate' a part of this tiny spider's web, when he spun it over the opening to access the bird feeder. (He was about 3-4mm)

I carefully took the one side and attached it to the same shrub.

He seemed fine with it, but moved the location the next day.

Smart one... :)

the exit sign also relates to life and i cant help but to include this great song with words that relate to anyone, any religion, everyone, every religion. and if it doesn't, it should.

i think its from the Adi Granth where Baba Farids poems were included. that is what i love about Sikhism, it is written by many saints from several religions. so much for one dominant religion over others! the Sikhs honor all religions that relate to God.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.

 

These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.

 

I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.

 

Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

  

Trying to relate this quote (Prime Minister Boris Johnson on 7/7/22) to the prediction that up to 10 million UK citizens will be pushed into poverty over the coming winter. The position is a quite uncomfortable one. Fuji X-Pro1.

...::: NIve - Till you say i go :::...

 

Till you say i go

 

Say whatever’s on your mind

I’ll never let your heart just sink

Drown in colors that aren’t blue

 

And say, whatever makes you cry

I’ll never let your tears make a river

I’ll just linger by your side

 

When the night just feels too long

When the night just feels so cold

I will stay, wait a million years

I will stay, till you say I go

 

Dance under these shining stars

I’ll sing you a song, a lullaby

Gently whisper in your ears

And come let me guide you home

Wandering love just hold my hand

I will walk with you till the end

 

When the night just feels too long

I’ll stay till you say I go

We can all relate to this!
