Marvin Gaye
“Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing”
(with Tammi Terrell)

Ooooh baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, no no
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

Oh honey
I’ve got your picture hangin’ on the wall
But it can’t see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it’s just a picture in a frame

Ooooo, I read your letters you’re not here
But they don’t move me
And they don’t groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Don’t you know
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

I play my game, a fantasy
I pretend but I know in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let’s stay together

Oh, I got some memories to look back on
Though they help me when you’re gone
I’m well aware nothing can take the place of your being there

So glad we got the real thing baby
So glad we got the real thing
Oh honey
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
No darling
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
Talk to me
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

Glad to help anyway I can. I have been doing research for several months now on the Eustachian Tube. I also looked at the surgery and for now, just do not want to deal with that. I first tried the over the counter nose sprays such as Nasacourt, Allerest, and others. They did some good for a day. But to take it often and everyday just didn’t sit right with me. I do not like being addicted to anything. I had no idea where to go or where to turn. I even spoke to some ENTS and they all recommended the surgery. However it does have a drawback in that it can fall out anytime thus necessitating more surgery. I decided to try Amazon. They have tons of reviews and it does make decision making a bit easier. I entered Eustachian Tube and it came up with several possibilities. The one I chose was Pressureze. I started with the children’s saline spray and yesterday tried the next step up. For me, it’s a slow process, but, it’s working. Who would have thought that a Saline solution could solve a problem. Best of all you can use it as many times in a day as you need to. And it’s NOT HABIT FORMING. If this can clean out those tubes without any problem, then Whoopi-Do. Anything not to have surgery is what I am hoping for. Tonight makes it one week since I started. I noticed some difference in the good ear by Sunday or Monday. Last night the big test was the sound on the TV. I was able to hear everything at a very low decibel but needed to put it up for hubby. The deaf ear last night could hear a very low dial tone on the phone (landline). Today I put the volume up as high as it would go and the hearing is better. I will be glad when I can put it down to the middle of the road. I hope your hubby decides to try this. The cost is similar to the other products but works better. I also do not hear the swishing noises in both ears or something that sounds like a motor running. It’s pretty quiet now and that really helps. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Inner City Blues
Song by Marvin Gaye

Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah-dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah-dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it
Oh, make me want to holler
The way they do my life (yeah)
Make me want to holler
The way they do my life
This ain’t livin’, this ain’t livin’
No, no baby, this ain’t livin’
No, no, no, no
Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Oh, make me want to holler
The way they do my life (duh, duh, duh)
Yeah, make me want to holler
The way they do my life
Oh, baby
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Hang-ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
Oh honey that I can’t pay my taxes
Oh, make me want to holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it make me want to holler
And throw up both my hands
Oh (ow) crime is (woo) increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we’re heading
Oh, make me want to holler
They don’t understand
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we’re wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply cause we wear our hair long

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, baby
I’m aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you’ll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I’ve been good to you
(Think it over) After I’ve been sweet to you
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I’ve known of your
Your secluded nights
I’ve even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush off to her charms
(Think it over) Haven’t I been good to you?
(Think it over) Haven’t I been sweet to you?
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I’ve tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you’ll stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I’m so afraid I’ll be losing you forever
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart, baby, think it over
(Stop! In the name of love) Think it over, baby
(Before you break my heart) Ooh, think it over baby

My Girl
The Temptations

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside
I’ve got the month of May
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin’ ’bout my girl
My girl
I’ve got so much honey
The bees envy me
I’ve got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin’ ’bout my girl
My girl
Ohh ohh
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Oh yeah
I don’t need no money, fortune, or fame
I’ve got all the riches baby one man can claim
Well I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin’ ’bout my girl, my girl, talkin’ ’bout my girl
I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
I’ve even got the month of May with my girl
Talkin’ ’bout, talkin’ ’bout, talkin’ ’bout

Good Afternoon Sheba, how are you today. I liked Poppy’s tail wagging.
I had several deliveries today. Received some sheets sets from either then HSN. The ones I ordered from HSN is still in packing. 😄
Also received four Quilts, two king sized and two twin size. I washed all of the sheets and Quilts, making sure there was no problem with them.
We used the twin size to cover ourselves while on the sofa and chair. The air conditioning is cold when it blows on us. And if we lower it the house becomes hot.
I forgot to mention yesterday, the birds were all very beautiful. I always enjoys you page and all the beautiful pictures and songs.
See you in Trivia tonight 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Have a great weekend with your hubby and Poppy. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

@oodiebom

Happy the saline spray is working, sure hope it continues. If you don’t mind me asking, what spray are you using? My husband may be interested after your results.

@taci
