The 2025 Trivial Drivel Thread

[MirahM]

There was a song from the 60’s or 70’s that, IIRC, contained the phrase “water color” or colors. I remember the singer was male and it was kind of a blues (very mellow rock) hit but I can’t find it. It’s not the more recent song “Colors”..

It’s making me crazy looking for it.

Did you find it yet?

Nah. I’ve given up; false memory? I thought it was sort of bluesy like the “Colors” song of 5 years ago but had “misty” and “water colors”. 

But I wasted enough time searching lyrics and listening to songs that weren’t it. 

Thank you for wondering though. All the other assholes in here just left me out to dry, fuckers.

I made a whole thread for it! LOL but now I found my Sunday play list. So, thank you.

Holy crap, Clang!!! That absolutely WASN’T the song I thought I remembered but WEIRD that it specifically mentions “misty water color…”. I thought you were poking fun at my memory until I actually started listening and remembered the words but that’s just bizarre.

Ur freaking me out; wonder if my subconscious is trying to tell me something.

I’m clearly a deeply disturbed person, lol.

You need better drugs.

Wow, damn. Clang found the song?!

No but yes. lol, the 3 words are there but I definitely wasn’t thinking of Barbara Streisand. I think I came up with some weird song mash up which would be a top hit if I actually knew a thing about composing music, lol.

Water color Days by Bobby Goldsboro is what I found, but I have no idea why anyone would want to listen to that fucking song.

Maybe Marsha and Jan Brady would like it.

Speaking of the Brady's. I was falling asleep to something on TV the other night and I saw the guys who played a couple of the brothers. They are old as fuck! Old men!

Can I just fucking say (why yes, I can) I am goddamn sick of my siblings and two months into being a CO-TTEE with my brother for my mom’s trust, I want to strangle all of them? My sister is absconding with shit (including the garage remote control for my mom’s vacation house) AND prematurely wanting $100k to help her son buy a house (we’re in the 120 day contestment period for the trust; nobody should be asking for money until at least late August). Meanwhile my brother has promised my mom’s car to his stepson and plans to change title on it in the next few days (he tells me Bluebook value is around $2k which I think is a gross underestimate).

The fuck? Gawt dammit I’m not exactly a rule follower all the time but I think 25 years of watching my husband manage other people’s money has made me a little crazy about following rules where finances are involved. 

As I said, my sister wants $100k sooner (vs later) and my brother said “well we should take $100k at the same time”. I was like…no, thank you. The only other beneficiaries are my deceased brother’s kids at $100k each (flat amount) and I’m NOT going to self deal me any money until they get their share. Fuck that. 

We finally (kinda worked out) that my brother’s kids will get some equal percentage wise distribution of their inheritance simultaneously to my sister getting her dumb $100k (so there’s no preferential treatment of beneficiaries) but this isn’t rocket science. And I STILL don’t want any part of a distribution until later (the money is invested and we’d have to liquidate investments to accommodate everything we’re facing).

Trauma dump.
