KOEB Meeting: 08/18/09 -- Are We Still Hyperventilating? Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Patsy!

Judging by some of the threads I've seen today, I'd say DU has gone from hyperventilating to holding it's breath until it turns blue.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

3. Well, then at least it's quiet.

:) :hi:

[SharonRB]

2. Hello, ladies

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

4. Hi, Shar!

#5 "Appease in Our Time" LOL!

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

Oh, Dick Armey started following me on Twitter the other day, and I blocked him.

Today, FreedomWorks started following me. I am not going to follow it, but I think I might keep an eye on them, see what propaganda they come up with next.

[SharonRB]

6. Seriously?

I'd block them both.

[SeattleGirl]

7. Seriously.

Like I said, I just want to keep an eye on them for a bit, but I am NOT going to follow them officially.

[Patsy Stone]

9. That's freaky.

How did they find you?

[SeattleGirl]

12. Probably through some of the people I follow or who follow me.

They probably saw that my posts are clearly liberal when discussing politics, so they decided to pounce.

[Berry Cool]

43. Being Twitter-stalked by those creeps...you have my sympathies.

[SeattleGirl]

45. Maybe I'll drive them batty with my tweets!

[RevCheesehead]

8. Well, Crap.

Well said, Keith! :loveya:

:hi: Hi everyone! What a weird day... full of ups and downs.

[Patsy Stone]

11. Lawrence O'Donnell

Was Debbie Downer. Wha' happen? :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

16. Took my dad to the doctor today...

and he's developed Parkinson's. Not the disease, but Parkinson's symptoms that come with Alzheimer's. :(

But, on the up side, Brett's back! :)

[SeattleGirl]

20. Aw, Rev, I'm sorry to hear that.

How is he overall?

[RevCheesehead]

27. That's really hard to say.

He's very shaky and unsteady on his feet. He's fallen twice in two weeks, which is why I wanted him to see the doctor. Thank God we did.
Once he got back home, he got better. Alzie's don't do well in new settings, so he was very glad to get back.
Thanks, sweetie. Today was a rough day. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

I'll send some prayers and vibes to your dad, Rev.

And some to you too. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

39. If you don't mind,

would you please add C.C. to the list? I miss him!
:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

42. I sure will!

Hope the little bugger comes home soon!

[Berry Cool]

44. Hug from me too...

:hug: You really are doing God's work now, m'dear.

[RevCheesehead]

48. I believe it's Commandment #5.

:hug:

[Berry Cool]

31. Yes, please do tell.

We worry. :-(

[RevCheesehead]

36. Thanks, Berry.

See my post above.

And, thanks for your support. :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

25. Oh, no.

:hug: Is there a maintenance routine they can get him on?

[RevCheesehead]

34. He starts new meds tomorrow.

The doc said the meds will help with the unsteadiness. He was really glad I insisted on bringing him in, so we can get him medicated right away.

Thanks, sweetie. :hug:

[GigiMommy]

56. I'm sorry to hear about your Dad, Rev.

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

70. Thanks, Gigi.

:hug: And thanks for the hug.

[SeattleGirl]

17. I noticed that.

I know he worked inside Washington, but holy freak! He was Mr. Doom and Gloom today, wasn't he?

[SeattleGirl]

14. Rev, dahling!

How are you? Have you gotten whiplash yet from all of Favre's gyrations?

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

19. Nope.

But I am in the market for a #4 purple jersey. :evilgrin:

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

22. I forget the name of the Viking

who had to give up the number 4. :)

[RevCheesehead]

46. It was their #3 quarterback.

Some guy on the radio said "it's bad enough he had to give up his number, he probably also just lost his job."

I didn't catch the name.

[Patsy Stone]

49. "I didn't catch the name."

And that's his legacy.

Yep, he had a bad day.

[Berry Cool]

23. My sentiments exactly!

:hi: Hi all! Time for another Special Comment!

I see Sha-Sha hit Grovelbot's board tonight! So did I...as you can see...

[SeattleGirl]

26. Hi Berry!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

28. The peach frame is lovely.

:hi:, Berry!

[Berry Cool]

47. Hi Pats & SG!

:hi: Glad you like it. I thought it made Keith look purty. Not that he needs help.

[PSzymeczek]

90. I sent a really eloquent e-mail

to the WH last night. I told our President that I'm sick of being sick, with no way to get actual help.

[Botany]

10. I am using my son's brand new i-Mac

It is better than sex.

[ralps]

18. Hi Botany, Awww Do you love it!!! Cool!!

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

[SeattleGirl]

21. Hi Bot!

Desktop or laptop?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

29. Depends.

Is it better than sex on a desk or sex on your lap?

[ralps]

Hi SeattleGirl!!! This is an I-Mac

http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/imac?mco=MTE3MDQ

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

[SeattleGirl]

38. Thanks, ralps

As you can probably tell, I'm a PC! :)

[RevCheesehead]

53. You poor inexperienced fool.

:loveya: Cuddles!

[ralps]

13. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[Patsy Stone]

15. Hi, ralps!

Happy Tuesday!

[SeattleGirl]

24. Hi ralps!

Oooh, you've got butterfly kitty today! :hi:

[ralps]

37. Hi SeattleGirl!!! Yep!

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

[GigiMommy]

30. Hello Everyone!

:hi: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

40. Hi Gigi!

Only one bouncing froggie today? :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

51. Not feelin' very bouncy today. Hi SG!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

52. Aw, I'm sorry to hear that.

:hug:

[Berry Cool]

57. Aw. You feelin' down?

I understand. :hug:

[GigiMommy]

60. Thanks Berry.

:hug:

[Berry Cool]

41. "It Just Doesn't Matter!"

Keith summed it up perfectly. Dems are convinced there is no WAY they can win, even if God Himself came down from heaven and made it so.

*sigh*

[RevCheesehead]

59. Isn't there a Yiddish name for that?

Schlemiel? Schlemazel? :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

63. Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!

I couldn't resist.

[RevCheesehead]

65. I was gonna say that...

then I thought, "Liebermann!"

[Patsy Stone]

68. If we're doing word association

Shleprock.

[RevCheesehead]

72. LOL!

He looks too happy. :)

[Patsy Stone]

54. Hi, GG!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

67. Hi Patsy!

:hi:

[DU GrovelBot]

32. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

This week is our third quarter 2009 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[Patsy Stone]

35. HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER???

[Berry Cool]

50. OMG, Grovelbot even reads the thread!

He picked the perfect spot to make a crack about God!

[RevCheesehead]

62. Grovel-slut.

You're shameless. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

33. "Because they've got all the money..."

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

55. And here's to Mr. Hatfield

:toast: Best. Groom. Ever.

[SeattleGirl]

58. Absolutely!

:toast:

[SeattleGirl]

61. Well, Joe, maybe someone ought to beat the tar out of you!

Jerk!!

[SharonRB]

71. One of our bloggers

infiltrated their convention Friday night and Saturday. I met her Friday night at dinner for 18 that Mike Rogers pulled together of his friends -- 13 gay guys, a Lesbian couple, me, another straight woman blogger and a bi woman blogger who infiltrated them. I really wanted to know what happened when she went on Saturday -- Joe the P and Michelle Malkin were going to be there. Blech!

[SeattleGirl]

73. Good grief! They had nerves of steel!

I'd love to know how it went too.

[SeattleGirl]

64. Melissa!!

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

66. Hey, it's Sharon's new BFF, Melissa Harris-Lacewell.

:)

[SharonRB]

69. Yay, Melissa!

Sorry I disappeared. I was playing Bejeweled.

[Berry Cool]

74. What a treat, to meet her!

Gives you one less degree of separation from Keith, too. :rofl:

[ralps]

75. Today's worst person in the world is Boss Limpballs!! for lying about Boss Limpballs!!

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

[Berry Cool]

77. "You're quoting Mark Levin? Weren't there any comic books lying around?"

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

76. Hey, Sharon, did you know my Mariners are playing your Tigers

right now?

Score is tied 1-1 in the 7th!

[SharonRB]

78. I knew they were playing this week

Thanks for the score update.

[Berry Cool]

85. I had a feeling Keith was gonna do Ted Baxter tonight!

I bet tomorrow night he says "I'm Keith Olbermann, and may the good news be yours!"

[RevCheesehead]

79. Everybody pray for rain right here, m'kay?

Some bird pooped on my skylight. x(

[Patsy Stone]

80. How rude!

(hands on hips)

[Berry Cool]

86. Ah, so now God is your personal maid??

Just kiddin'. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

81. I do not understand why Jenny Sanford is still looking at some kind

of reconcilliation with the Guv. The moment he said he was going to try to fall in love with her again would have been the moment the door would have been permanently shut in his face.

[Patsy Stone]

82. Yes, ma'am

But she does have a lot of kids.

[SeattleGirl]

83. Well, that's true, but I just hate the whole "long-suffering wife" meme.

[PSzymeczek]

91. I'm not sure she is.

Her family wants its contributions back.

[SeattleGirl]

84. "Good night and good news"?????

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

87. See upthread

I'm tellin' ya, I just knew it! I predict he does Les Nessman tomorrow!

[SeattleGirl]

89. I saw that.

[Patsy Stone]

88. LOL!
