[SharonRB]

Ask and ye shall receive.

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Sharon! Howdy all!

RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

:hi:

[SharonRB]

4. Hi, SG!

As the aspens turn....

[SeattleGirl]

11. Hehe

[Patsy Stone]

2. And... Hey, Rev: Favre has 'itch' to ditch retirement, report to camp

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=215x72239

:hi:, Rach! :hi:, Shar! :hi:, all!

[SharonRB]

7. Hiya, Pats

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

96. oops. n/t

[Berry Cool]

10. And thou shalt lose Keith.

:hi: Hi, gals. I have a pretty safe bet as to where Keith is. It's large and has a lot of green grass. :rofl: Texas Rangers tonight, followed by a four-game stand against the Red Sox. Fourth of July baseball bliss. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

19. It's about time

He needs a break. :hi:

[GigiMommy]

22. Oh Berry!!!

He's batting cleanup! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

36. That wouldn't surprise me.

I hope he enjoys himself. Poor man's been working himself way too hard. By all rights he should just disappear from us for about three weeks, but I doubt he will. I would miss him terribly if he did, but at the same time, how could I begrudge him the right to a vacation after all this time?

Trouble is, he's spoiled us.

Then again, the election season is far from over, and he's got two conventions to attend and give us Bonus Keith. Anyone going to be in St. Paul or Denver and have a chance to see him al fresco?

[SeattleGirl]

14. Hi Patsy!

Got off work a little early today too, so I could be with y'all!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

18. Yay!

And only tomorrow left to go before the long weekend. Stay strong, sister. :)

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

25. Not quite as wobbly today as I was yesterday. AND, I found out

I get to go to Vegas in November for the annual training that the group I work with does! Woohooooooo!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

37. Vegas, baby! Vegas!!!!

[SharonRB]

40. Awwww

My favorite Ocean's movie is still the original.

[Berry Cool]

42. Sounds like a good deal!

"Deal"...get it... *rim shot*

[SeattleGirl]

49. She'll be here all week, folks!

Don't forget to tip your servers!

:spray:

[SeattleGirl]

44. Now THAT's Vegas, baby!

[GigiMommy]

48. Been watching "Ocean's Thirteen"

all this week...just for the eye candy. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

51. Yes, there's good eye candy,

but there's nothing like Dean, Frank and Sammy.

[GigiMommy]

62. You're right there

I LOVE the original!

[Patsy Stone]

64. Another role for Norman Fell...

And, right in the front, Richard Conte. He went on to immortalize the role of Don Barzini in The Godfather.

[Patsy Stone]

54. Oh...my...yes...

And that bit with Oprah is a riot. I love it when they're just standing there, sniffling at the TV. :rofl:

I think Ellen Barkin's performance was a total hommage to Angie Dickinson.

[GigiMommy]

35. Hi Patsy!!!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

55. Favre is going to "retire" and "unretire" about a thousand times.

He knows the fans love nothing better than a curtain call.

[RevCheesehead]

103. Hey - I was at Lambeau that day with my nephew & niece!

Perfect timing, really. We did the stadium tour, and they spent my money in the Packers Pro Shop. All the employees said "We don't know anything." The local news was running with it for a while.. and I honestly think that Mike McCarthy would love to have him back. The Pack is a solid team, and will do well this year, with or without Brett.

My personal theory: Deanna told Brett to stop bitching and get back to work... he was getting underfoot. :)

[GigiMommy]

3. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

8. Hi, Gigi

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

12. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: Icky storm. We're in lockdown mode.

[SharonRB]

20. Yeah, the thunder is really loud

but it hasn't started coming down here yet. I'm on alert so I can close the windows upstairs.

On edit:

I lied. It is raining. I expected it would be coming down harder and I'd hear it, but it's not too bad except for the thunder.

[SeattleGirl]

15. Hi Gig!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

30. HI SG!!!

:hi: Glad to see you here!

[Patsy Stone]

5. Where's Howard?

With the Aspens...

[SharonRB]

9. And they're turning....

[Patsy Stone]

13. in clusters...

Because they're connected at the roots. :puke:

[bleever]

17. You guys are geeks.

:)

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

23. Please

We're wonks, not geeks.

:)

:hi:

[SharonRB]

26. Thank you

I like that much better.

[bleever]

32. Wonkettes?

Wonkas?

[Patsy Stone]

39. I can only dream

of being a Wonkette. Those crazy kids crack me up.

And as long as you didn't say Oompa Loompa, we're good.

[GigiMommy]

34. Hi Bleever!!!

:hi:

[bleever]

43. Hi GigiMommy.

Getting some bad weather?

[GigiMommy]

56. Storms rolling through as we speak, er, type

Looks uglier on radar than what's happening out my window.

[SharonRB]

57. Here, too

Very noisy, but the rain is pretty light.

[SharonRB]

24. Exactly!

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

6. Hi All!!!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

16. Howard looks very relaxed and cozy.

I'd like to be where he is. Preferably with a nice glass of white wine.

[Patsy Stone]

28. I thought he was on the Olympics set.

The one where they film all those cozy interviews, and where Bob Costas lives. :)

[SeattleGirl]

29. It isn't a genuine Olympics set if Letterman's mom isn't there.

:P

[Berry Cool]

50. I'll never forget her asking Nancy Kerrigan

if she wanted a cup of cocoa.

She was like, "Huh?!?"

[SeattleGirl]

72. I remember that too!

I loved seeing Dave's mom do those interviews!

[Patsy Stone]

74. She's adorable.

I always want to hug her and have her cook something for me.

[SeattleGirl]

79. Me too!

I also like the segment Dave does before Thanksgiving, when he checks in with his mom to find out what kind of pies she's having for Turkey Day.

[Berry Cool]

47. It would have to be the Winter Olympics.

The fire roaring, Howard in a sweater...

[Patsy Stone]

71. Two things I'll bet you never thought you'd see together:

Lou Reed and the Olympics.

[Berry Cool]

81. LOL, I must have missed that.

"And the colored rings go..."

[ralps]

21. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

27. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

31. Hi SeattleGirl!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[GigiMommy]

38. Hi Ralps!!!

:hi: How are the Kitties!?!

[ralps]

45. Hi GigiMommy! Crook & I are doing good, How are you all doing?

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Botany]

33. 2 things

1) What is up w/ male pundits in pink?

b) Was that Joe Lieberman tagging along behind McCain again? :puke:

[SeattleGirl]

41. Hi Botany!

I think pink says, "I'm only sorta working today." :)

As to Lieberman, I think he's been surgically attached to McSame.

[Berry Cool]

52. Answer to b): Yes.

He has to stay close to McCain's butt. That way he won't stretch out his lips too much.

[Patsy Stone]

46. This picture makes me happy:

[SharonRB]

53. I LOVE that!

I hadn't seen it before.

[Patsy Stone]

59. It was from this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6435485

Somewhere in there is a link to a little slideshow.

[SharonRB]

69. Just went over there and looked at the whole slideshow

Just got back. What great shots!

[Berry Cool]

60. That is adorable.

About as adorable as the one of him with his daughters in the bumper car.

[SeattleGirl]

61. The bumper car picture is SOOOOOOOOO cute!

They are having such a blast there!

[Patsy Stone]

63. And I need to know what he's jotting down.

The kid's new policy ideas? A list for Santa Claus? His breakfast order? LOL.

p.s. Another cool left-handed (almost) president... Yay!

[Botany]

68. You can't fake nice

:bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

76. Nope

Especially not with kids.

:hi:

[Botany]

80. I was 10 feet from John Edwards holding an older women as she ...

.... cried because he stopped to talk w/ her ..... He waved away a t.v. camera.

From the pix of Obama I get the same feelings.

[bleever]

58. Oh, those Golden Gramms.

Phil and Wendy, getting super-rich by breaking the system for the rest of us.

Thanks, guys!

[Berry Cool]

66. Those look more like recess monkeys than rhesus monkeys.

As in, they're just relaxing.

[Botany]

65. Bot I never said that I was no expert on EDVs .....

EDV Ah, we have you on tape saying that.

Bot That is an old story and I have had town meetings with people.

EDV If you want to be w/ the EDVs in the KOEB clubhouse don't
you need to know about EDVs?

Bot My Friends did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

[Berry Cool]

67. LOL

Rachel has her own way of saying "Bushed."

[Berry Cool]

70. Oops. Writers and Rachel got their televangelist schools mixed up.

The lawyers the MMMMBOOOOOSH Administration hired instead of good ones were graduates of Regent University, which is the one Pat Robertson founded--not the one Jerry Falwell founded, which is Liberty University.

[GigiMommy]

73. That's what I thought, thanks Berry

:thumbsup:

[Berry Cool]

83. I have a friend who actually worked at Regent before I knew her.

And she's a decent human being too. Probably smarter than any of their law-school grads. Really, having fallen for Republican bullshit in the past is her only bad trait. I visited her a few months ago. We didn't talk politics but I suspect hers may have changed a bit in the past few years. I wouldn't be surprised.

[SeattleGirl]

75. I wish they would stop saying Al Queda (sp?) "reconstituted itself."

Sounds like they were freeze-dried and someone just added water to them, so they re-hydrated themselves. :eyes:

[SharonRB]

78. ....

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

82. ......

:7

[Berry Cool]

84. I've always thought that too.

Or like RealTerrorist reconstituted terrorist juice.

Frozen Terrorists--just add water.

[SeattleGirl]

86. Available at fine grocery stores everywhere!

[Patsy Stone]

87. Couldn't resist

[SeattleGirl]

88. Access forbidden

x(

[Patsy Stone]

89. Changed.

Damn internets.

[SeattleGirl]

93. Thanks, Pats!

[CC]

98. Maybe the * government has gotten a lot further

along with cryogenics than we would ever imagine. So now they are pulling them out of the WH basement freezer, thawing them out and putting back so the American people can be made to be afraid, very afraid. Soon they will have to defrost Osama so they can capture and kill him on video.



Glad to read that you first couple days at the new job went well even if tiring. :woohoo: on going to Vegas. Hope things keep going well and you adjust to the long hours sooner than later.

[Botany]

77. A link to understand bush's actions in Iraq & Afghanistan

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=screwed+the+pooch

Good Lord have we screwed things up .... My friend's son home for "a while"
from Iraq has said that all the troops know that the weapons we give Iraqi
troops are used against them and to settle old scores.

[Berry Cool]

85. Your friend's son could probably do a better job of running things

over there than the idiots in charge.

[Berry Cool]

90. So, we all owe Barack Obama to actors.

Christian Finnegan: "You don't see Mel Brooks taking credit for McCain just because he wrote 'The 2,000-Year-Old Man.'" :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

91. "In John McCain's eyes, Mitt Romney is #2."

:rofl: Finnegan is funnier tonight than he's ever been!

[Patsy Stone]

92. I don't think 24 is the reason for Obama's success,

but I do think that some of the people who might have thought twice about voting for Obama because of his race might not think it's out of the realm of possibilities because of Haysbert's role (and that of his TV brother, who was also the president on 24).

As for Geena Davis' role, well, no one watched that show.

[SeattleGirl]

94. Actually, I watched it.

So of course, they canceled it. x(

[Berry Cool]

95. Which, of course, is why Hillary lost.

Damn sexists.

[SharonRB]

97. I beg your pardon

I watched that show! I was not happy when it got cancelled.

[Patsy Stone]

99. But you and SG were not who I was referring to

More specifically I should have said: "Gung ho Bush voters/RW nutjobs who love war and torture and watch 24 didn't watch Commander-in-Chief." IOW, a West Wing viewer probably doesn't have the same issues with race as some 24 viewers do.

[SharonRB]

100. I was just giving you a hard time

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

101. I'm home today

because on the way in to work my car started leaking gas like a sieve (nice smell!). It turned out to be a little tiny bitty part, which cost nothing to fix, but I wasted a couple of gallons of gas in the process, not to mention having to wait 90 minutes on the side of the highway for AAA to show up. If I hadn't decided to have the mechanic do an oil change (since I was due and it was already up on the lift), the gas I lost would have cost way more than the whole event. :eyes:

[SharonRB]

102. Glad it wasn't anything major

and you got an early start on the holiday weekend!
