I wish I was y'all's neighbor. Just to have friends to cook with once every couple of weeks or sumfin'. I could Ziggy-sit when you're on date night, and you could be my emergency phone call when I have a bad date. ha

Never meant to be an alarmist about our good boy @nachochip.bsky.social. It's good to know he's doing fine.

Pup Tobias @puptobias.bsky.social · 15h

Hey! He’s perfectly fine, he’s been taking a break from social media for personal reasons. Nothing to be concerned about! He says thank you for checking on him tho

[important to be] Ernest™ 🍋 @ernestsewell.bsky.social · 14h

Whew, good to know! Thank you!!

Where is @nachochip.bsky.social ???? Is he okay? He's not posted in almost 3 weeks, and frankly with 🟠 pushing more and more 🧊 raids, we fear for his safety.

The Bangles re-recorded the entire song, which was great. Many thought they retained at least some Prince's original tracks.
Prince's original '84 version was later released on Originals, a set of original recordings he gave to others.

I think it should've been on Around The World In A Day.

Prince - Manic Monday (Official Music Video)

YouTube video by Prince

[important to be] Ernest™ 🍋 @ernestsewell.bsky.social · 20h

Let's clarify:
Prince wrote "Manic Monday" on February 4, 1984 at Sunset Sound.
Later, it was put on Apollonia 6's record, as a duet with him and Apollonia. In a February and Spring 1984 configuration, it was track 3.
Prince took a liking to The Bangles, pulled the track & gave it to them.

I looked up news items for raids in Atlanta, and there was one at a Hyundai factory weeks before that. I don't think he worked there.

Sending you big love, mate.

Please let this feeling pass. PLEASE.

I have no taste, no desire for food - it literally makes me want to wretch. ME. A FOODIE. Disgusted by 99% of food. I'm choking down the Ensure just to stay off IV nutrition.

Plus I have the runny 💩💩 for a while.

Let’s do ourselves a favor and save the faux shock and comments when we see 🟠 celebrating Columbus Day. Let’s just not put energy into that.

Don’t pretend to think it wasn’t going to happen.

We don’t need to be reminded of it. Be proactive, not reactive.

But would Richard Bachman approve?

Nobody’s even responded to my skates until right now. And I’ve posted about him at least twice. He’s been absent for almost 3 weeks.
