Whats up jmc19 - I used to chew as well. Mostly kodiak, but also Rooster. Did it for about 7 years, but only on weekends when I was drinking. Gave it up last year cold turkey - lasted 11 months, but recently I have had a couple while playing poker. Everytime I throw a lipper in I proceed to do really well, which has caused me problems, cause I want to stay quit. But luck is luck.

I picked up cigars for poker and golf, my two worst problem spots. I fear if I pick up another tin I'm doomed.

I was copenhagen guy. Strongest Tobacco on the market. Was what my roommate had. Which doesn't help the urges at all when you go cold turkey, let me tell you.

[Puffy]

Tonight I watched the Bizarro Jerry episode of Seinfeld. Great episode - George with the Susan death story to get into the Forbidden World, Kramer with the job he doesn't get paid for and then gets fired even though he doesn't work there, man-hands, and the bizarro friends of Elaine.

Good stuff

[Puffy]

Someone dies on CSI: Miami this Monday - I hope its not Emily Procter. Even though the lighting they use for the show makes her look bad I still dig her. She rocked on West Wing

[Puffy]

If I knew that being a forensic scientist was such a cool job I would have angled for that. But two things were against me - one, the CSI shows didn't start until somewhere around my 30th birthday, too late since I was already in law school, and two, I sucked at science, which probably would have hindered my career as a forensic scientist.

[Puffy]

I majored in political science (although from the political threads and being told i don't know what I'm talking about you'd never know it) and minored in history. Since Poly Sci is really a b.s. major being a lawyer from it really is staying with your major, so to answer Creek's question - yes, I am doing what I majored in in college

[jmcclain19]

Doesn't she have an odd tick when she talks?

I like her though, she was good on West Wing, and on CSI as well. I thought it was funny on West Wing they tried to make her like Ann Coulter, except you know, sane.

But hey, good looking blonde republicans, have to give that thumbs up. :thumbup:

[RosieRed]

You guys, I'm totally out of my mind right now. I have COMPLETELY lost it.

Someone tell me to calm down! Quick!

[Puffy]

I just said "majored in in college" - I always try to avoid the double words but sometimes you just have to use them. The one I now avoid, however, is that that. I write like I talk, which is good, but it also doesn't always translate exactly like its supposed to, so I have to be careful sometimes. But the "in in" was unavoidable in this instance

Went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner tonight with the parents. I had a caesar salad and the 12 ounce prime rib with baked potato. All I can say is wow, it was very good.

[Puffy]

Calm down.

[RosieRed]

I mean, it's like I need to be slapped across the face and have cold water thrown on me all at the same time! I have totally lost it. I'm actually saying to myself "Rosie! Get yourself together! Quit acting like a five-year-old!"

:eek:

Anyway. Puffy, it's funny you mentioned using "that that," we had a friendly argument at work the other day about whether it's ever necessary to use "that that." I contend it's okay sometimes. Like "I had to tell her that that's not a good idea."

[RosieRed]

Aww, kitties! :)

Why Poli Sci?

I love politics. I try(badly I might add) to stay out of the political arguments here.

I do troll a few other political boards however for kicks from time to time.

But doing it for a career boggles my mind.

I tell everyone I know to avoid Liberal Arts degrees like the plague. Math and sciences kids, those are the tickets to a real job.

To be as perfectly honest as I can - I went to college undecided. The first class I thought was really easy was a political science class. So I said this has me written all over it! And it was confirmed by other slackers that poly sci was the way to go to do the least work possible. Again, I said, i'm sold!

Can't beat honesty :thumbup:

What I have never understood is why Poli Sci is the Pre-Law major of choice. Studying politics doesn't make you learn how to analyze the law any better.

When I took the LSAT, one of the advisors at the Law School told me that they look at life experience and analytical abilities more so than what classes you actually took.

[RosieRed]

What's your AP style book tell you ;)

Not much, as it turns out. :) It just had a big entry on "that vs. which."

[RosieRed]

So, I realize it doesn't really matter to anyone else on here if I'm in my apartment bouncing off the walls and dancing around like a madwoman.

But I'll let y'all know anyway: I have a little bit calmed down. A little. Sure, I might be chain smoking right now, but I have been able to sit in my seat for 10 consecutive minutes, and that's a good sign. :)

Now THAT is a cute picture!

Today, at Macy's, I purchased two pair of dress slacks, three oxford shirts (my neck size has increased from 15 1/2 to 16 - damn steroids!) and a pair of khacki shorts.

Just thought you all needed, and wanted, to know all that

Well all, as fun as this is, Friday's are my busy day, my early day, thus I must retire to reclaim my spot on the bed from three 60 lb boxers.

Enjoy the battle for the Rosie Award.

Goodnight!! Don't let the bedbugs bite!!

[Puffy]

I need to shave tomorrow. Just my face. If I was a woman I don't know how I'd deal with having to shave my legs, arms, etc. Thats a lot of work. Although if I was a woman I would probably never leave my house, I mean why leave the house when I have breasts right there.

Chicken breasts. To cook everynight for dinner - man, you people need to get your minds out of the gutter!

[Puffy]

I'm going to bed soon myself - not because I have anything to do tomorrow, I don't. Just because I'm a little tired. And I need to go to sleep so I can wake up and have lunch. I love lunch.

[Puffy]

There is a Chevy dealership in Panama City. The guy who owns it, and who the dealership is named after, is Tommy Thomas. Thomas Thomas is his real name!! Come on parents, why would you do that to your son, be a little original won't you.

And from here I segway right back to answer Rosie's post a while back about the "that that" - and I agree, sometimes it is OK to use, and I believe you were right in that discussion :gac:

[Super_Barry11]

I still have 2 more paragraphs (stanzas? Who can tell with this piece!?!? :MandJ: ) to write... I need caffeine!!! Somebody make sure I stay awake long enough to finish this bad boy up!!

[Puffy]

On CSI tonight (last years finale) the main suspects were a family of brothers named Coombs. Well, thats my last name. And yes hopefully now you all can tell where I got the nickname Puffy. "So, your last name is Coombs? Like Combs" "Yea, something like it." "So can we call you Puffy" "Sure"

Anyway, if you watched the episode you will realize what i have gone through my whole life. Half the people on the show pronounced it "c o m b s" and others pronounced it correctly as "Coo'mb s" its pretty wierd though that the director and producers couldn't get everyone to pronounce it the same all through the show.

[RosieRed]

I still have 2 more paragraphs (stanzas? Who can tell with this piece!?!? :MandJ: ) to write... I need caffeine!!! Somebody make sure I stay awake long enough to finish this bad boy up!!

SB, if there's anything I can do to help you, you just let me know! Want me to write it for you? Cause I can do that!

[Super_Barry11]

Thanks, Rosie and Puffy!! :) I'm so close to being done, and I really don't think it's as putrid as I had first feared... But since I'm sitting here, half asleep, reliving my glory in NYC last summer, anything would probably sound good!! :MandJ:

[RosieRed]

I need to shave tomorrow. Just my face. If I was a woman I don't know how I'd deal with having to shave my legs, arms, etc. Thats a lot of work.

Yeah, shaving sucks. The legs especially. Who came up with the idea that women need to shave their legs, anyway? I can't imagine not doing it, but I'd like to have words with whoever came up with it in the first place.

Maybe that's why I really like colder weather. Less shaving required.

[RosieRed]

So Puffy, is it pronounced Combs or Coombs?

[Puffy]

There are currently 5 people viewing this thread - I know 4 of them, even though Rosie is hiding, but I wonder who the 5th is??

[Puffy]

Its the Coo'mb's. I have to correct people who say Combs, damn them!

I'm not doing a good job of hiding, am I? Oops!

[Super_Barry11]

My sister's name was Lauren... Pronounced Lah-ren, but everyone always said Loo-ren. That always annoyed her to no end. My name is Kristin, but everyone spells it Kristen. That's annoying as well!!

[Puffy]

OK, its 2am, I gotta hit the hay - you girls have a great rest of the night! Rosie, not too many more cigarettes, and SB_11 good luck finishing up your paper.

Oh yeah, and good luck to whichever of you wins the Rosie award!

Peace......

[Super_Barry11]

Sweet dreams, Puffy!! Have a good night! :)

Yeah, I'm really going to bed - but I had to comment first. When did Megan and Meghan become different names? My goodness, and they jump down your throat if you pronounce one the other way.

I kept meeting these girls who pronounced it Meg-an, so after a while it became natural. Then I met a girl named Meg-han, like it was always pronounced, and I always said Meg-an, and boy, she'd get pissed!

Oh well, I was just doing what previous girls told me to. I learned long ago that i am never right and girls know better than me, so just shut up, listen, assume I'm wrong, and then correct my mistake.

[RosieRed]

Good night Puffy! Don't worry, I'll only have one more pack of cigarettes, tops! ;)

[RosieRed]

My sister's name was Lauren... Pronounced Lah-ren, but everyone always said Loo-ren. That always annoyed her to no end. My name is Kristin, but everyone spells it Kristen. That's annoying as well!!

My name is Jamie, which people have no problem pronouncing, but it's amazing the ways in which it gets misspelled. Jaime is most common, but I've also been addressed as Jaimie, Jaymie and Jayme. Even my work ID has me as Jaime.

Huh. Now my name sounds really weird. :help:

[RosieRed]

Also, I get a lot of phone calls and mail to Mr. Jamie ... always a dead give away! Whenever someone calls and asks for Mr. Jamie, I tell them they have the wrong number. :)

Believe

Do you feel the magic? The city of life, liberty, and love beckons. Don’t blink, you’ll miss it all! Here lives and breathes “The House that Ruth Built.” It’s alive with winners, a haven where history and tradition shake hands with rookies and newly broken records. Out on the streets, everything runs together. The people, the cars, the buildings… It all merges as one. Time whizzes by; life is a blur. Only in America! This wondrous place truly exists as a home to many and a dream for others. Look, it’s Barry Larkin! My hero! Don’t cry, because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true! Good things do happen to good people. This is love. This is life.

Welcome to the fervor. My perspective never sleeps here. Starbucks props my eyes open with a strawberries and cream flavored frappucino. Better not blink or you’ll miss a vital thread in the weave of chaos! Every noise, every person, every flash of light is integral in painting the most unique masterpiece in the world. Numerous lives, each different, yet all intertwined. Hello, Ryan Freel! Miracle upon miracle! This means so very much! This is forever etched in my mind and heart.

This beloved place is the essence of America, the very definition of life. I’m loving it! Hideous orange and bright blue; this isn’t an eyesore, it’s Shea Stadium! Impersonal, but charming, this is a constant contradiction. Like waltzing down the street, defying gravity. Soaking up the mass confusion, living in the moment. The beauty is truly one of a kind, soaked up in every special nuance. Especially wonderful to meet you, Jason LaRue! Somebody pinch me, am I dreaming? Hope certainly does not disappoint!

No one is invulnerable to the majesty of the city. Lights, camera, action! My perspective drinks it in with starry eyes. The flashy Broadway lights are blinding! It can be “Wicked,” but it’s a “Wonderful Town,” especially along “42nd Street.” The wonderland whirls wildly, as people come and go, zig-zagging along. Precious pride, love, and independence permeate every nook and cranny. Everything here is a once in a lifetime opportunity! In a heartbeat, Danny Graves and I cross paths! Treasured times! Terrific trip! My happiness sprouts wings and off I fly!

See the city. Feel the city. Breathe the city. Love the city. It will capture your heart and soul like no other! The magnificent lady welcomes all visitors, for she is the epitome of liberty and freedom for all. Bask in her green glory; the gentle giant symbolizes America itself. Does the frenzied pace call to you too? Better hustle, or the city will leave you in the dust! A diamond in the rough. It’s tough to find a more splendid place than this! Stop! Wait! Oh wow, Ken Griffey Jr.! A future fixture in the Hall of Fame! I’m so very glad I came! Containing my joy is impossible now… This love has a life of its very own!

Have you ever seen anything like the city? Amazing. Astounding. Awesome. Here, a perfect balance between stone cold reality and delightful dreams has been achieved. The view from the top is incredible! The pinnacle of the city, the Empire State Building, will take your breath away. It’s difficult to breathe amidst the crowd below. So bright, so loud, so busy. Rest is for the weak, here. No other location possesses this energy, this pure electricity! Holy cow! Hola, señor Wily Mo Peña! Floating on cloud nine… These thrills will stay with me for over a thousand tomorrows!

The “Big Apple” is quite shiny and appealing. It’s impossible not to sense the perfection of it all, slightly tainted as it may be. I’m in the Zone… The ESPN Zone! Sports crazy, just like the majority of the city. Fun, laughter, music, and game broadcasting reverberate throughout. This is the best headache I’ve ever had! Tornados of activity are the main component of this beautiful city. I’ve never experienced anything quite like this! No other city can hold a candle to this one! Smile! There’s Todd Jones! Forget smiling, I’m grinning from ear to ear! Unforgettable… That’s what this is! The journey of a lifetime has culminated here!

Bubbly, personable, tough, and aggressive, the city makes its mark. Never any hesitation here! Vivid colors, sunshine bright, the greens of nature. Central Park! A breath of fresh air amidst the buzz of society. People are exuberantly hectic, busied, and stressed everywhere. Panic? No, this is everyday life! Exceptionally individual, everyone in full bloom! Extraordinary! Whoa, is that Brandon Larson? I can’t believe it! All my twists and turns have brought me here… Heartache ends here. Believe. Anything is possible. The city, the people, the memories… We will go on beyond goodbye.

Good morning all

[creek14]

Now I forget everything I was going to respond to. And that was bad grammar.

First, SB's freshman teammate needs someone with her at all times. And the RA needs a swift kick.

And I would blow off the birthday party. But I'm all about me.

Sorry you were all keyed up Rosie, I hate it when I feel like that.

Where's Krono?

[creek14]

Its almost the weekend http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/yay.gif
I have to work all weekend. Which means 0700 to 1900 both days. But the stupid thing is the computer are going to be down from 0600 to 1700 tomorrow, so we'll be able to work for 2 hours. I can't wait to go sit for 10 stinking hours.

[creek14]

Good morning LGJ

[letsgojunior]

How are you this morning Creek?

[creek14]

How are you this morning Creek?
Good. I just sat down to enjoy my grilled cheese Uncrustable.

How are things in NC?

[TeamCasey]

I never figured out what had Rosie in knots last night. What happened?

[TeamCasey]

I haven't tried one of those yet. I tried a PBJ.

I don't think she said. But I suspect it was a Mountain Dew overload. :)

I hate days like that. I'd rather be super busy than not at all. Makes the day go faster.

[creek14]

My mom, who is well into her 70's watches Imus every morning. I just don't get it.

[TeamCasey]

I'm off to the lab. Have a good day, Peeps. See you in awhile.

[creek14]

I hate days like that. I'd rather be super busy than not at all. Makes the day go faster.
Me too. We are usually so busy that 12 hours seems like 4 or 5. I think I'm going to take the paper and a couple magazines and a book.

[creek14]

Later TC, have a good day.

[creek14]

I came to this site with the migration from Cincinnati.com

Man that site got ugly.

[creek14]

Okay, who's here with me? There are two people viewing and I'm just one of them.

[creek14]

Gesh watching these pictures from FL is heartbreaking. I hope things turn out okay for you Puffy.

[creek14]

Today lunch will be a salad from Don Pablo's. I will try to avoid the chips and salsa.

I will fail.

Like Adam Dunn trying to hit a sac fly.

[SandyD]

I was in a weird mood today, so I had all my hair cut off. That's right, I'm no longer stuck in the 80's! :thumbup:

I love whims. Hope I'll still feel this way tomorrow. :MandJ:

Do you still like it? Hope so.

I'm back. Left Arlington Texas at 7pm last night. I'm going to try to go back to the office for a little while later.

Worried about Puffy's apartment after seeing the pictures of Panama City. Has he checked in yet?

[creek14]

When I get to 44,444 posts, I am going to stop posting as creek14.

[creek14]

Welcome back Sandy. Yes, Puffy has checked in, but he is in Orlando at his parent's house. He isn't heading back to his home until Monday.

[creek14]

I'm so tired of hearing about how the intel community needs to be totally reworked.

It's just the upper levels and how they share information that needs to be fixed.

Us little peons work our butts off and put out some useful information.

But then Johnny doesn't want to share with Jane.

Freaking bureaucrats.

[SandyD]

Welcome back Sandy. Yes, Puffy has checked in, but he is in Orlando at his parent's house. He isn't heading back to his home until Monday.

Thanks. It's a little too much to go through the entire thread this morning, and I'm still trying to find my car keys. Might have left them in Texas.

[creek14]

I just ate some cookie dough. Guilty pleasure. I need to get back on the low carb wagon again. I fell off while I was sick. Even though I just coughed and sneezed and I still can't hear out of my right ear, I don't think I can use illness as an excuse any longer.

[letsgojunior]

Good. I just sat down to enjoy my grilled cheese Uncrustable.

How are things in NC?

Things are good, it looks like a rainy day here. I'm off to class in a minute. Hope you guys have a good FRIDAY.:)

[creek14]

Well I think I am going to go take a 1/2 hour nap then get ready and go to the cemetary and then go to lunch with my bud and then come home and try to catch up with this thread.

Hope the surprise was good Zom. And that you aren't as jumpy today, Rosie, and you have a better day, SB.

And where is Krono this AM?

[letsgojunior]

Hopefully Krono is ok.

[Roy Tucker]

You guys need to quit writing so much in the evening. I just spent 25 minutes reading this note when I have work to do.

Congrats on the 10K posts creek.

SB, good job on taking care of your friend. A rough go of it, but you did a good thing today. The RA was unbelievably irresponsible.

My major was psychology which has turned out to be next to useless (but a good conversation topic). Went on to grad school in computer science.

My happy place is likes woy's. Being able to totally and completely experience the moment. Not think about yesterday, today, tomorrow, worries, bills, blah blh but just enjoy the here and now. Happens every so often. I'm lucky, I've turned out to be the person I wanted to be. Just took a while.

Raining like gangbusters here. Got here before they unlocked the building so I had to dig out my key. As soon as I did that, 3 people sitting in their cars jumped out and rushed in behind me.

[SandyD]

I've been teaching my son to drive a stick shift. Boy, there is an experience in success and failure for you. My neck is sore from getting whipsawed by the herky-jerk starts. But he is getting better and 1 start out of about 3 now is nice and smooth. I told him chicks dig a guy who can handle the shifter well :RedinDC:

My dad taught me to drive a stick shift about a year after I got my license. he bought a VW to run around in when the gas prices rose to the unthinkable level of 50+ cents a gallon :eek: .

He drove it mostly, but at one point, he was taking my mom and the family impala on an out of town trip and leaving us kids home alone (with the neighbors checking up on us from time to time.)

I had to learn to drive the VW.

Went to the parking lot behind the BIG K, and I started practicing. Then, we drove out on the main hwy for about a mile out of town. My dad never had patience with this stuff, so once I knew the drill, and after a couple of shouting attempts, I decided I knew what I needed. I just needed practice, and it would be easier to practice without him in the car.

So, the day they left, after we all got home from school, the four of us kids piled into the little vw, and I rode around the block a couple of times until I was comfortable. We had a lot of laughs at my expense that day.

[TeamCasey]

I have a friend that I would love to teach to drive. I just think I'd be nervous and not a good teacher ..... especially in my car. I'm not the most patient person in the world. I really would like her to learn though. I don't think she knows the freedom she's missing.

Morning, all!! Wow, it's raining like cats and dogs up here!! Eww!!! :( Indoor practice today???? NOOOOO!!!!

Hope it clears up down in Cincy at least!! I hate driving in the rain... How long does it take to get from Cleveland to Cincinnati? I've never made the full drive before. :)

[Red Leader]

Ok, let me give you guys the rundown of what happened yesterday...real quick. Yesterday the company sent out an email saying that certain people within our company had been posting negative comments about the company on a Yahoo message board. That was immediately followed with an email from my manager that if anyone was seen posting anything on any message board, they would be terminated, no questions asked. I felt it best for me to sign off for the day from redszone as a result. That warning still carries on to today, and for the immediate future. I will be checking back in at 2:30 (my lunch time) but as of now, the posting that I do from work has been totally cut off or I risk losing my job. I hope that this "ban" doesn't last too long and that I can return to my normal activity in the not too distant future. But in the meantime, it will probably be held to one hour a day, 2:30-3:30pm, my lunch time. I miss you guys and hope to be back in full swing soon. Take care.

[KronoRed]

Good Morning everyone :)

Todays RosieRed award winner is RosieRed..I woke up at 5:40am but went back to sleep till 8 :D

[KronoRed]

Ouch RL!..good idea to stay off the board then :eek:

[KronoRed]

I had a major TV crunch tonight. Four shows were on at 8 p.m. that I wanted to watch. I'm good with the remote, but not that good.

So I'm taping "Joey" and "Will & Grace," and also "Survivor." Watched the first hour of the Reds game, and will start taping the game again after 9 p.m. "The OC" had to get skipped tonight, even if it is my favorite teen drama. (Yep, I really do watch it.)

What did I do before I got a DVR? And why is it all the shows I want to watch have to be on the same night, topped with a Reds game on TV?

Get more TVs :D

[KronoRed]

Wow SB..that is some day you had :( I hope everything get settled down

[KronoRed]

I found out about this board from the Reds board at mlb.com. Read this board for ages before joining it.

A former lurker..like me :D

I was here from late 2002 till I finally registered

Awww!! Take care, RL!! Better safe than sorry. We'll miss you too!!! Sorry to hear about the ban!!

[KronoRed]

While running out of both coffee and cigarettes IS a nightmare ;) , this was a serious nightmare. It was really weird, because parts of the movie kept showing up in it. Have you seen the movie? You know the part where she's on the phone and starts coughing and pulls a long piece of string out of her throat? That happened to me in my dream. Then I woke up for a minute because I *swear* she was talking to somene in the movie and was calling her Rosie. (I don't know if there's a character named Rosie, but that's what I heard.) So then I was half awake/half asleep, and I thought I was suddenly in the movie, etc. There was also a moment in my dream when my parents wanted to watch a videotape, and I knew it was the tape from the movie, and I didn't want them to watch it because I didn't want them to die.

If that makes any sense! :MandJ:

I've never seen the movie..but I think I've heard enough about it to frighten me :eek:

[KronoRed]

I never saw the movie but that doesn't sound too good. :( Don't worry about it. Dreams aren't supposed to make sense anyway. You might want to watch happier movies before you go to sleep.

I've been killed in a lot of my nightmares..many different ways :D

[KronoRed]

Wow, I really suck at this whole "be random, yet structured, be choppy, yet smooth, jump around, yet make sense, expose yourself, yet don't write the way you were taught to" thing. I hate not writing topic sentences and having the regular structured paragraphs. I suck at this "creative writing" crappola... I wanna go back to regular, good old, traditional English class!! :MandJ: I've always hated Gertrude Stein, and I don't understand Rosmarie Waldrop either... This is what I have so far (ridiculous!!)-

Believe

Do you feel the magic? The city of life, liberty, and love beckons. Don’t blink, you’ll miss it all! Here lives and breathes “The House that Ruth Built.” It’s alive with winners, a haven where history and tradition shake hands with rookies and newly broken records. Out on the streets, everything runs together. The people, the cars, the buildings… It all merges as one. Time whizzes by; life is a blur. Only in America! This wondrous place truly exists as a home to many and a dream for others. Look, it’s Barry Larkin! My hero! Don’t cry, because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true! Good things do happen to good people. This is love. This is life.

:gac: :gac: Nice :)

[KronoRed]

anyone else see this?

Sicko :angry:

[KronoRed]

That's so weird!! I slept with his brother when I was in high school!

;)
:help:

[KronoRed]

Today's Crazy fan of the week

The Bone Lady.

http://www.bonelady.com/bonehome.html

And I say that with love.

Saw her on Inside the NFL tonight, said she was single.

Never understood that, a woman that's beer drinking football fan can't find a man.

Odd indeed.
:help: :help: :MandJ: :MandJ:

[KronoRed]

It doesn't matter if you're strong enough!! The real question is ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE ME WITH YOU?!!?!!

:)

:MandJ: :MandJ:

Be nice to Rosie SB ;)

[KronoRed]

Whew - i'm caught up, but lots to say

I just hope it's not about miss America and baseball players being called hotties ;)

[KronoRed]

Krono - congrats on reaching the 10,000 level as well - guernsey and Chip better watch out. Your coming quickly! :gac:

Thanks :D

[Chip R]

SB, I read the rest of your paper and it's great! Good luck with that. Have fun at the game tonight and, uh, afterwards. :devil:

I'm glad Sandy's back but I'm not happy hearing about it second hand like this. Did you break your fingers so you couldn't call me? It's not like I was out dancing or anything. ;)

Rosie, CALM DOWN! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CALM DOWN!!!!!!!! ;)

I've never seen "The Ring" because I don't watch a lot of movies in the theater. The last one I saw was SWAT.

Todd Walker's brother sure gets around. ;)

[KronoRed]

I'll happily admit that I'm sure you all can drink me under the table.

I'm a lightweight, a few beers and I'm done.

I've got you beat..I can't drink at all :D

[KronoRed]

Can you say 13,000?

I can

13,000 bottles of juice on the wall..13,000 bottles of juice..take one down hand it to beer dude..12,999 bottles of beer on the wall :D

[KronoRed]

I mean, it's like I need to be slapped across the face and have cold water thrown on me all at the same time! I have totally lost it. I'm actually saying to myself "Rosie! Get yourself together! Quit acting like a five-year-old!"

:eek:

Anyway. Puffy, it's funny you mentioned using "that that," we had a friendly argument at work the other day about whether it's ever necessary to use "that that." I contend it's okay sometimes. Like "I had to tell her that that's not a good idea."

I hate using that that..I try and come up with something else like "I had to inform her that it was not a good idea" :D

[KronoRed]

Calm down Rosie :D

[KronoRed]

So, I realize it doesn't really matter to anyone else on here if I'm in my apartment bouncing off the walls and dancing around like a madwoman.

But I'll let y'all know anyway: I have a little bit calmed down. A little. Sure, I might be chain smoking right now, but I have been able to sit in my seat for 10 consecutive minutes, and that's a good sign. :)

What was wrong?? was the giant bug back? ;)

[KronoRed]

There are currently 5 people viewing this thread - I know 4 of them, even though Rosie is hiding, but I wonder who the 5th is??

I'm always here :mhcky21:

[KronoRed]

My name is Jamie, which people have no problem pronouncing, but it's amazing the ways in which it gets misspelled. Jaime is most common, but I've also been addressed as Jaimie, Jaymie and Jayme. Even my work ID has me as Jaime.

Huh. Now my name sounds really weird. :help:

You do say it "jay-me" right? :D

[KronoRed]

I think the 5th person is probably the beer dude.

No I think HE is the thread :D

[KronoRed]

Good things do happen to good people. This is love. This is life.

Welcome to the fervor. My perspective never sleeps here. Starbucks props my eyes open with a strawberries and cream flavored frappucino. Better not blink or you’ll miss a vital thread in the weave of chaos! Every noise, every person, every flash of light is integral in painting the most unique masterpiece in the world. Numerous lives, each different, yet all intertwined. Hello, Ryan Freel! Miracle upon miracle! This means so very much! This is forever etched in my mind and heart.

This beloved place is the essence of America, the very definition of life. I’m loving it! Hideous orange and bright blue; this isn’t an eyesore, it’s Shea Stadium! Impersonal, but charming, this is a constant contradiction. Like waltzing down the street, defying gravity. Soaking up the mass confusion, living in the moment. The beauty is truly one of a kind, soaked up in every special nuance. Especially wonderful to meet you, Jason LaRue! Somebody pinch me, am I dreaming? Hope certainly does not disappoint!

No one is invulnerable to the majesty of the city. Lights, camera, action! My perspective drinks it in with starry eyes. The flashy Broadway lights are blinding! It can be “Wicked,” but it’s a “Wonderful Town,” especially along “42nd Street.” The wonderland whirls wildly, as people come and go, zig-zagging along. Precious pride, love, and independence permeate every nook and cranny. Everything here is a once in a lifetime opportunity! In a heartbeat, Danny Graves and I cross paths! Treasured times! Terrific trip! My happiness sprouts wings and off I fly!

See the city. Feel the city. Breathe the city. Love the city. It will capture your heart and soul like no other! The magnificent lady welcomes all visitors, for she is the epitome of liberty and freedom for all. Bask in her green glory; the gentle giant symbolizes America itself. Does the frenzied pace call to you too? Better hustle, or the city will leave you in the dust! A diamond in the rough. It’s tough to find a more splendid place than this! Stop! Wait! Oh wow, Ken Griffey Jr.! A future fixture in the Hall of Fame! I’m so very glad I came! Containing my joy is impossible now… This love has a life of its very own!

Have you ever seen anything like the city? Amazing. Astounding. Awesome. Here, a perfect balance between stone cold reality and delightful dreams has been achieved. The view from the top is incredible! The pinnacle of the city, the Empire State Building, will take your breath away. It’s difficult to breathe amidst the crowd below. So bright, so loud, so busy. Rest is for the weak, here. No other location possesses this energy, this pure electricity! Holy cow! Hola, señor Wily Mo Peña! Floating on cloud nine… These thrills will stay with me for over a thousand tomorrows!

The “Big Apple” is quite shiny and appealing. It’s impossible not to sense the perfection of it all, slightly tainted as it may be. I’m in the Zone… The ESPN Zone! Sports crazy, just like the majority of the city. Fun, laughter, music, and game broadcasting reverberate throughout. This is the best headache I’ve ever had! Tornados of activity are the main component of this beautiful city. I’ve never experienced anything quite like this! No other city can hold a candle to this one! Smile! There’s Todd Jones! Forget smiling, I’m grinning from ear to ear! Unforgettable… That’s what this is! The journey of a lifetime has culminated here!

Bubbly, personable, tough, and aggressive, the city makes its mark. Never any hesitation here! Vivid colors, sunshine bright, the greens of nature. Central Park! A breath of fresh air amidst the buzz of society. People are exuberantly hectic, busied, and stressed everywhere. Panic? No, this is everyday life! Exceptionally individual, everyone in full bloom! Extraordinary! Whoa, is that Brandon Larson? I can’t believe it! All my twists and turns have brought me here… Heartache ends here. Believe. Anything is possible. The city, the people, the memories… We will go on beyond goodbye.

[KronoRed]

Good morning everyone :)

Good morning :D

[KronoRed]

Now I forget everything I was going to respond to. And that was bad grammar.

First, SB's freshman teammate needs someone with her at all times. And the RA needs a swift kick.

And I would blow off the birthday party. But I'm all about me.

Sorry you were all keyed up Rosie, I hate it when I feel like that.

Where's Krono?

Hi :D

[KronoRed]

Thanks. It's a little too much to go through the entire thread this morning, and I'm still trying to find my car keys. Might have left them in Texas.

Hi Sandy! glad you are ok :)

[KronoRed]

Hopefully Krono is ok.

Nobody panic..I don't do anything dangerous so I'll always be fine ;)

[KronoRed]

Morning, all!! Wow, it's raining like cats and dogs up here!! Eww!!! :( Indoor practice today???? NOOOOO!!!!

Hope it clears up down in Cincy at least!! I hate driving in the rain... How long does it take to get from Cleveland to Cincinnati? I've never made the full drive before. :)

I hope it stops raining soon, I hate to miss my walk :dflynn:

[KronoRed]

Chip, Roy and SB are viewing this thread...but they are silent...

SPEAK :D

[KronoRed]

Breakfast was raisin toast and apple juice :)

[Chip R]

You do say it "jay-me" right? :D
It's actually pronounced "Throatwobbler Mangrove";)

[KronoRed]

Still quiet..

[KronoRed]

Chip speaks :D

[KronoRed]

This is so sad to read

http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/

[KronoRed]

Only Roy here now... :gac:

[Roy Tucker]

Only Roy here now... :gac:
I just jump in every 15-60 minutes or so for a mini-work break.

Sometimes I have something to say, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I don't have time to say something. And sometimes I have a browser buried in the background that is on this note but I'm not watching.

Bottom line... just because I'm "here", doesn't mean I'm really here. Sometimes I'm over there.

[KronoRed]

Ok so Roy is not really here....

am I? :D

[TeamCasey]

Congrats to RL for his first Rosie Red Award. :) :thumbup:

[jmcclain19]

I'm so tired of hearing about how the intel community needs to be totally reworked.

It's just the upper levels and how they share information that needs to be fixed.

Us little peons work our butts off and put out some useful information.

But then Johnny doesn't want to share with Jane.

Freaking bureaucrats.

That would make sense when it comes to intelligence.

But like most overbloated companies, the US Gov doesn't always like to make sense. We can't have that sort of thing spreading. :dflynn:

[TeamCasey]

Congrats to RL for his first Rosie Red Award. :) :thumbup:

I really thought I'd get Krono's goat on that one. :MandJ:

[creek14]

Lunch was wonderful. The salad was delightful and the company was just the best.

Well not as good as the company on this thread, of course. But a decent runner-up.

Haven't been to the cemetary yet cause it is raining.

[Chip R]

You have lunch with your boyfriend, creek?

[creek14]

You have lunch with your boyfriend, creek?
Yeah. We are like two old fart peas in a pod.

Yes there is another human being as condesending and sarcastic as me.

[KronoRed]

Congrats to RL for his first Rosie Red Award. :) :thumbup:

Lemme check here..no I don't see TC on the RR award committee :allovrjr:



;)

I really thought I'd get Krono's goat on that one. :MandJ:

I don't own a goat..I'm not a cubs fan :D

Awww...how cute :MandJ:

[creek14]

What kind of salad? :D
A low carb sizzling chicken fajita salad. It's really yummy and doesn't seem low carb at all.

[RosieRed]

Morning everyone!

Has anyone in the Cincy area been outside yet? (Probably everyone here but me!) Is it cold out, or is it just cold in my apartment?

[zombie-a-go-go]

It's pretty cold out.

I played hooky today. yay!

Good to see you're okay, Sandy. Thumbs up.

Going to the movies now! Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow are on the menu.

You cats have a good eve and weekend!

[Puffy]

I need to shower and shave, just in case anyone needed to know that

[westofyou]

I miss the Caravelle Bar.

[Red Leader]

I have seen myself drop into 4th place on the poster list in this thread, all because of Big Brother...I'm about ready to throw caution to the wind and proceed as though nothing had changed. However, the thought of sitting at home watching Springer everyday with no job doesn't appeal to me quite enough, so with that...I will hold off until Monday to do anything career threatening.

[creek14]

Puffy, have you talked with anyone in Panama City in the past few days? The images on TV don't look to good.

[creek14]

Good decision RL. Although we are looking for a couple people in my office. But we are so busy I never have time to access this site at work.

[westofyou]

These were cool

http://www.toyadz.com/toyadz/ideal/evel1.jpg

[Red Leader]

Good decision RL. Although we are looking for a couple people in my office. But we are so busy I never have time to access this site at work.

You have job openings there, creek? I'm still on the lookout for a new job.

[Puffy]

Puffy, have you talked with anyone in Panama City in the past few days? The images on TV don't look to good.

No, not yet. The building I live in was built in the 30's, with some renovations since then, so I'm fairly confident its held up.

I am assuming that most of the damage was done to mobile homes and the like as Panama City has lots of those and they damage very easily.

[creek14]

You have job openings there, creek? I'm still on the lookout for a new job.
Yeah we do. Ever held a clearance? It doesn't take too long to reinstate one, but if you never had one it takes forever to get the initial one.

[creek14]

No, not yet. The building I live in was built in the 30's, with some renovations since then, so I'm fairly confident its held up.

This am I saw some footage that showed sand (lots of sand) pushed a couple blocks inland and I am pretty sure they said it was in Panama City.
:(

[Chip R]

I actually found the weather this morning quite refreshing except for the rain.

[Puffy]

I wonder how long it will take up to reach 20,000 posts? I am assuming not too long, probably next week at the current ratre we are going.

We should start a pool - how many posts will Krono have on this thread when it reaches 20,000? I gotta guess somewhere around 5,200.

[creek14]

So is anyone going to watch Lost? I am a sucker for those disaster shows.

[westofyou]

I actually found the weather this morning quite refreshing except for the rain.

Looks like you're having Portland weather.

Grey and 60 degrees today, good day to sneak in an afternoon ride and grab a couple of pints prior to dinner.

[Puffy]

This am I saw some footage that showed sand (lots of sand) pushed a couple blocks inland and I am pretty sure they said it was in Panama City.
:(

Well, if sand went a couple blocks inland then I'm screwed for awhile. Well, it won't of reached my apartment per se (second floor) but it will be tough driving on the sand to get to my place - not to mention how sand pervades everything in a radius.

Oh well, I can't worry about it til Monday - hopefully its a different part of Panama City Beach (the beach line is about 15 miles long)

[Red Leader]

Yeah we do. Ever held a clearance? It doesn't take too long to reinstate one, but if you never had one it takes forever to get the initial one.

What kind of background do you need to be considered for the job?

[Chip R]

Looks like you're having Portland weather.

Grey and 60 degrees today, good day to sneak in an afternoon ride and grab a couple of pints prior to dinner.
Normally I wouldn't care much for it. But in my particular condition it's a blessing. I could do without the rain though. I have to be extra careful on my crutches or one of them could hit a wet spot and I'd wipe out.

[RFS62]

Wow, if Red Leader (aka Leon) goes to work for your office, Creek, he'll have to change the caption under his avatar to "Ain't no analyzation without compensation"

[westofyou]

What kind of background do you need to be considered for the job?

Homo Sapien I'd think.

[Red Leader]

Wow, if Red Leader (aka Leon) goes to work for your office, Creek, he'll have to change the caption under his avatar to "Ain't no analyzation without compensation"


:MandJ: On a serious note, I can't think of any job I'd enjoy doing more than creek's or Rosie's. Both of those jobs are extremely fascinating to me, so needless to say, I'd be extremely interested in a job there, creek. If you have some time can you PM me with details as far as work description, how to apply, etc.

[creek14]

What kind of background do you need to be considered for the job?
Well a background in intel helps...

But really they are looking for people who are analytical but creative thinkers. Kind of a paradox. And if you have done any kind of analysis in the past- that helps. It’s very tedious and exacting work. If you miss something, someone might die. If that doesn’t appeal to you, you wouldn’t like it.

[creek14]

I'm off to the Dr about this stinking ear. Send me a resume, RL and I'll get it to the right people.

[TeamCasey]

So is anyone going to watch Lost? I am a sucker for those disaster shows.

This is the one new show that's really peaked my interest. I'm wondering if it will have some sort of sci fi slant. Hard to tell from the previews.

[Puffy]

I had a hot dog and chips for lunch. I put catsup or ketchup on my dog. sometimes I mix it up and place mustard and ketchup on my dog, but mostly I'm a catsup person.

So, what do you put on your hot dog?

[Roy Tucker]

I had lunch with the spousal unit at Bob Evans. Vegetable soup and rolls for her, BBQ pork sandwich and fries for me. We actually got to talk. Every so often I am reminded of how much I think she is a swell person (can't find the hearts and love smiley or I'd put it here)...

I had a TS clearance back in my WPAFB days. It was kinda funny when they did the deep background check and I got panicked calls from friends saying "Bruce, my God, what did you do? FBI guys are calling us up". They said they lied a lot for me :)

Don't know about Creek's neck of the woods, but government work isn't for everyone. The BS factor was extremely high, higher than private enterprise. It drove me me absolutely up a wall and I got out after couple years. At least private business has to eventually make money or go out of existence. The gummint is another story... All FWIW

[Puffy]

So is anyone going to watch Lost? I am a sucker for those disaster shows.

Yup, I think it looks pretty good - I'll be watching the first couple of weeks to check it out

[RosieRed]

I don't think I've heard of the show "Lost." What channel is it going to be on?

[westofyou]

Another thing Roy and I have in common, my real name is Bruce.

Though it was dumped in the first year and replaced with my middle name.

[Puffy]

Alright, I'm going to go watch NYPD Blue, then shower and shave. You kids be good, and don't eat too many sweets, they make you all hyper! And remember to put the cap on the toothpaste and to put the toilet seat down after you use it.

[KronoRed]

I had some pie before lunch..it was full of sugar :D

[KronoRed]

Morning everyone!

Has anyone in the Cincy area been outside yet? (Probably everyone here but me!) Is it cold out, or is it just cold in my apartment?

It is a bit chilly compared to yesterday

[KronoRed]

It's pretty cold out.

Going to the movies now! Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow are on the menu.

You cats have a good eve and weekend!
You 2 z :D

[RosieRed]

You know what kind of smilie I could use? Two, actually. A pouting one and a temper tantrum one -- one that stomps its feet or something.

GRRRRR.

I'm not having good feelings about today.

[Roy Tucker]

Another thing Roy and I have in common, my real name is Bruce.

Though it was dumped in the first year and replaced with my middle name.
Whup, I did say that, didn't I? I hope that doesn't break some kind of RedsZone protocol. It actually is kind of fun to have the alter ego (or nome de plume) Roy Tucker.

WOY, don't tell me your middle name is David (my maternal grandfather's name) or I'll start feeling really weird.

[KronoRed]

I need to shower and shave, just in case anyone needed to know that

I feel informed :D

[KronoRed]

You know what kind of smilie I could use? Two, actually. A pouting one and a temper tantrum one -- one that stomps its feet or something.

I'm sorry Rosie :(

No sick days? no vacation days to use? ;)

[KronoRed]

I have seen myself drop into 4th place on the poster list in this thread, all because of Big Brother...I'm about ready to throw caution to the wind and proceed as though nothing had changed.

But..if you sit at home you can post like crazy ;)

[TeamCasey]

What's up, Kid?

[KronoRed]

You have job openings there, creek? I'm still on the lookout for a new job.

Anyone else in thread looking for work? ;)

[KronoRed]

I actually found the weather this morning quite refreshing except for the rain.

I woke up cold and I couldn't take my walk due to the rain..I'm in favor of a roof being built over the area :devil:

[KronoRed]

I wonder how long it will take up to reach 20,000 posts? I am assuming not too long, probably next week at the current ratre we are going.

We should start a pool - how many posts will Krono have on this thread when it reaches 20,000? I gotta guess somewhere around 5,200.

I think our new goal should be to have more posts then our enemy threads the association ones..I think we need about 25,000 for this :D

[KronoRed]

So is anyone going to watch Lost? I am a sucker for those disaster shows.

Nope..only shows on the air I watch are Dead Like Me and Joey (just because I haven't decided to hate it yet) :D

[Roy Tucker]

It is breezy and chilly out.

Might do the fire pit/roast hot dogs and metts/sit outside in sweatshirts thing tonight.

Last time we did that, we were invaded by neighborhood kids who all brought marshmellows over. I finally had to burn a bunch of dry timber to burn off all the melted marshmellow crap from my pit. But the kids all had a good time.

Well, if sand went a couple blocks inland then I'm screwed for awhile. Well, it won't of reached my apartment per se (second floor) but it will be tough driving on the sand to get to my place - not to mention how sand pervades everything in a radius.

Oh well, I can't worry about it til Monday - hopefully its a different part of Panama City Beach (the beach line is about 15 miles long)

Hope your place is ok..the pictures in the Pensacola paper are horrible :(

[KronoRed]

Normally I wouldn't care much for it. But in my particular condition it's a blessing. I could do without the rain though. I have to be extra careful on my crutches or one of them could hit a wet spot and I'd wipe out.

How long are you going to be on those? I know you mentioned it back 100 pages or so but I've forgotten :)

[westofyou]

No David....

BTW if I was a female my name was going to be Susan.

[KronoRed]

Wow, if Red Leader (aka Leon) goes to work for your office, Creek, he'll have to change the caption under his avatar to "Ain't no analyzation without compensation"

Doesn't paintmered work in the same place? is this board a recruitment area? ;)

:MandJ: On a serious note, I can't think of any job I'd enjoy doing more than creek's or Rosie's. Both of those jobs are extremely fascinating to me, so needless to say, I'd be extremely interested in a job there, creek. If you have some time can you PM me with details as far as work description, how to apply, etc.

Rosies I think I would like..even the dull statistic part sounds fun to me :D

Creeks..I don't know..I can miss freakishly obvious stuff sometimes so that's not a good career for me ;)

[KronoRed]

I'm off to the Dr about this stinking ear. Send me a resume, RL and I'll get it to the right people.

Hope the doc can fix it :)

[KronoRed]

I had a hot dog and chips for lunch. I put catsup or ketchup on my dog. sometimes I mix it up and place mustard and ketchup on my dog, but mostly I'm a catsup person.

So, what do you put on your hot dog?

I had tacos..with sour cream :D

and I never eat hot dogs

[KronoRed]

Another thing Roy and I have in common, my real name is Bruce.

Though it was dumped in the first year and replaced with my middle name.

We now know WOYS first name :devil:

[KronoRed]

No David....

BTW if I was a female my name was going to be Susan.

If I had been a girl I was going to be Heather Ann

Can anyone picture me as a Heather? :MandJ:

[KronoRed]

Six people in here now..but 3 invisible..I say the cloaked people are..WOY..TC..and.....RR :D

That's fantastic, I bookmarked that page.

[RosieRed]

What's up, Kid?

Nothing really. It's just today is my Monday, and that's always a little tough -- everyone else in the world (seemingly) is excited for Fridays, and that's the day I most dread. Not only do I have to go back to work, but Fridays at work are by far the most stressful day. You'd think HS football wouldn't be that big of stressmaker, but let me tell you! It is. :)

Plus, I was really hoping to go out tonight (and if anyone read this thread from last night, you'll know why), but I don't think it's going to work out. Which *SUCKS* big time. I don't think I can go partly because I'm not sure if I can get out of work in time, and partly because I don't know if I can get access to the place I would need to be. Not to mention that I don't even have a valid driver's license, so for all I know I could get turned away at the door!

So basically, it's nothing. Work will be work, and I'll probably just go home after it, which is standard Friday Night Hell. I was just really looking forward to going out tonight, and now that I've had a night to sleep on it I don't see how it can happen. Last night I thought for sure it would work out. Today, I don't see how it possibly could, and that sucks.

(Plus I talked to a friend of mine this morning, and he said he was surprised to find out that I'd want to go to this place tonight, and he went on and on about how that's not like me, that he never would have guessed I'd be "one of those girls," and that frankly he's a little disappointed. Which made me think, and he's absolutely right -- it's not like me at all. But despite that, I still want to go, which is making me feel bad! Sigh.)

[RosieRed]

Rosies I think I would like..even the dull statistic part sounds fun to me :D

I will be the first to admit that I have a great job. Most days, anyway. :)

[RosieRed]

So, right now I'm painting my nails red. You know, for the Reds. The nailpolish is called "Vould U Like a Lick-tenstein?" That has to be the best name for a color of nailpolish ever.

Plus, I have Lichtenstein's "Drowning Girl" on my wall, so this suits me perfectly.

[jmcclain19]

We now know WOYS first name :devil:

Are you keeping a running journal of blackmail information?


"WOY's First name....check" :p:

[KronoRed]

Don't feel bad if you want to do something diffrent..you should try and go, it might work out and be a fun time :)

[KronoRed]

Yeah, I know. I have no doubt I'd have a good time even if the original plan didn't work out (which it won't, I just know). There's just so many factors working against me going out at all tonight, let alone in the fashion I want to go out. Plus I feel like it might border on being unprofessional -- I don't know where to draw that line. So I figure it might be better if I don't even put myself in that situation.

If that makes any sense. :)

At least another 3 weeks. That's when I get the cast off. Don't know if I'll need a boot or what after that. I would imagine walking on the ankle right away will not be good and will be very painful.

"Heathers" probably wouldn't be received very well if it came out today, I'm thinking.

[Puffy]

I'm not a Nascar fan - at all. And it especially irks me when TNT has Nascar on at 3 in the afternoon thereby taking NYPD blue off the air for that particular day. I mean i am on a hurrucane hiatus and this limits my NYPD Blue watching ability to now, and preempting it causes me great aggrevation.

Fact of the day: A barrel of Jack Daniels whiskey weights 517 lbs.

When in Lynchburg Tennessee for the Jack Daniels tour, be sure to go to Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House to eat. As the locals say, them's some fine eatin'.

Good to know! Is it wrong that my happy place has now become swimming in that 517 lb barrel?

Would you want to drink something you've been swimming in? ;)

If I were a boy, I would be Kyle or Brandon, according to my mom. Of course, my father insists I would have been "His Name IV." He wanted to call me "The Fourth." Seriously. He's nuts!! :screwy: My mom always said, "Over my dead body!!!!" :MandJ:

I'm the third consecutive boy in my family with my name. When I was little (2-10 or so) my Dad used to call me Tre (for three, obviously). He gave it up as I started to grow up. I liked it when I was a kid (although I never knew why he called me that until later).

[Roy Tucker]

My sister's two boys are named Kyle and Brandon.

The other name in the running when I was born was Duane. I'm glad they didn't use it.

With my kids, Zachary was going to be Stephanie, Jennifer was going to be Jonathan, and Elizabeth was going to be Christopher (yes, we have a subscription to "Trendy Names of the 90's" magazine).

I was going to be a Jessica or a Josh. Josh won out.

Always loved that name Zachary RT, good choice.

TV time. Goodnight all.

Just want to let you know that TeamMorris made homemade chocolate chip cookies and she sent me her chocolate-faced son up here instead of a cookie. :(

Hmmm ..... perhaps there was a cookie intended for me that never made it up the stairs. The kid was wearing the evidence. :MandJ:

I'm sorry :( It was pretty late and I figured you were all ready curled up for the night! Plus at that time of night I figured you would kill me if I gave you cookies ;)

My parents live on a golf course. After Frances, on the sixth hole (where they live) there was a lake where there should not have been one.

Its gone already and people are once again playing golf. I thought it would take a month to clean up the course and get it ready again. I was wrong.

I just booked my room for New Orleans Halloween weekend. The Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel on Canal and Bourbon Streets.

Harrahs is three blocks away. Pat O'Briens in about 5 blocks straight down Bourbon. Yeah baby!
