KOEB Meeting 9/17/09 Health Care Sagas Continue, Watergate Secrets Exposed Edition

[Berry Cool]

:hi: What, no one else here yet?? Where are you all??

Keith's talking to Ted Jr., and you can tell when he quotes from the book about people on vigils in hospitals watching over their loved ones, it hits home for him. :cry:

John Dean also has more Watergate exclusive secrets to impart.

Join us!

[ralps]

1. Hi Berry Cool! Hi Everyone! I'm here!

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

[Berry Cool]

2. Hi ralps!

:hi: Keith is wearing his "Mom glasses" again.

You can tell the health care issue is especially dear to his heart again, and he can understand why Teddy cared about it so much, even though how to pay the bills was not a concern for him.

[RevCheesehead]

10. Hi ralps and Crook!

So that's what CC's been up to, huh? Wonder where that copter is right now. :)

[Berry Cool]

12. Hi Rev!!!

:hi: Oh God, this is all making me think of you. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

17. Thanks, sweetie.

But you know, Dad's doing pretty good right now. The meds seem to be kicking in, and his laugh has returned. :)

:hug:

Sending lots and lots of prayers for Keith and his dad.

[RavensChick]

19. Good to hear it.

Laughter is the best medicine, you know. It sure has gotten me through rough times.

I'm in prayer for them too.

[RevCheesehead]

34. Thanks, RC.

:hug:

[RavensChick]

42. You're welcome, hon!

:hug:

[Berry Cool]

28. Oh, that is such good news.

When you hear 'em laugh, you know they're feeling better. :-)

[RevCheesehead]

31. I was so excited, I called my SIL to let her know.

My brother would probably just say "yeah?" :eyes:

Thanks. :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

60. Men...

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

66. Pats!!

:hi: Glad you're here tonight!

[Patsy Stone]

83. Nice to see you too!

That's good news about your dad, Rev. Cherish each moment. But I know I don't really need to tell you that.

[ralps]

30. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, & lil' Keith! How are you all doing?

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

[RevCheesehead]

We're good!

Keith has really learned how to cuddle with his mommy! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

If I didn't know what you were talking about...

:rofl:

[ralps]

51. Awww How cute!!

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

[GigiMommy]

11. Ralps!!! I LOVE the Kitty!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

14. Hi GGM!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

29. Hi Berry!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RavensChick]

21. Hi, Gigi!

Glad you can join us!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

49. Hi RC!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[ralps]

38. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie!! Thanks

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

[RavensChick]

16. Hi, Ralps!

Good to see you!

:hi:

[ralps]

39. Hi RavensChick!

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

[RavensChick]

3. Oh, there you are!

I was wondering what happened to everybody. Well the debate continues so who knows what's next in this fiasco called reform!

:hi: , everyone who's here!

[Berry Cool]

4. Hi, RC!

:hi: Don't know why traffic is light tonight. I figure I can wait for the SNL videos.

[RavensChick]

5. Hi, Berry!!!

I can wait too. Besides I'm gonna watch Real Housewives of Atlanta after this so it's an interesting balance.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

7. Oh, God. Keith is saying his father is opening up about things he never talked about before.

Obviously things are pretty serious. :cry:

I think I need to call Rev tonight.

[RavensChick]

13. All we can do is pray.

I know what's he's going through. I went through the same thing with my dad so it's a very emotional situation.

[GigiMommy]

26. Hi Raven!

Me too. When Keith said that it brought me back to Dad's hospital room, just me and him and he was telling me when he had to go to Korea in the war. I miss Dad so much. He would be so proud of Cassie. She was (and still is) his "Number One Girl".:hi:

[Berry Cool]

36. I am sure he would be very proud.

Ah, you guys have such great dads...I'm envious.

[RevCheesehead]

40. I'm willing to share mine with you.

He has several "adopted" children. :)

[Berry Cool]

61. Thank you!

Means a lot coming from you. :hug:

[RavensChick]

37. Aw! That's so sweet!

I miss my dad too. I was his little girl (and I still am)

:hug:

[PSzymeczek]

86. I figure that's why he was out

Friday and Monday.

[Botany]

6. ah ah ah

Thread already started

[Berry Cool]

18. Sorry, Bot. I didn't know you meant it to be the live show thread.

You didn't label it that way so I didn't know. I just thought it was an RIP thread. :hi:

If you want everyone to know, be sure to at least label it KOEB and date it if you can. That helps. :-)

[Botany]

20. ah ah ah

9-17-09 KOEB Max "they bought my office" Party

[Berry Cool]

43. Oh, I didn't even see that one.

And I refreshed a few times because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss one. :cry: Sorry.

[RevCheesehead]

47. Oh, don't worry about Cuddles...

He's just going through Mama withdrawl. ;)

[Berry Cool]

53. For Bot...

RIP.

And for the record, I think Max is wack too.

[CBHagman]

84. Did someone say Cuddles?

:hi:

Hey, KOEB!

[GigiMommy]

8. Hi Everybody!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Wow...He sounds just like his Dad.

[RevCheesehead]

27. Hi Gigi!

How's Cassie doing? :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

41. Hi Rev!!!

Cassie's at 5th Grade Camp (and Mommy misses her a lot. It's TOO quiet around here). Glad to hear about your Dad.:hug: :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

50. Well, if she hasn't called you by now....

she's obviously doing very well. :D

[RevCheesehead]

9. Yet one more reason to love Teddy:

He loved to watch Countdown. O8)

:hi: Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late - had dinner at Culver's tonite. :9

[RavensChick]

15. Yes, he did!

Hi, Rev!! Good to see you! Hope dinner was nice!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

24. Oh, it was fabulous!

I got the pot roast dinner w/green beans & mashed taters, then got a Pumpkin Pecan Concrete Mixer for dessert!
Do you have Culver's restaurants out there yet?

Good to see you, too! :hi:

[RavensChick]

25. Not really,

but Golden Corral is similar. They have great food!

[Berry Cool]

44. We definitely don't have 'em.

Sounds great, though!

Then again, I'm dieting!

[RevCheesehead]

22. LaRouche Bags??

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

23. That was good.

Hope you enjoyed dinner, Rev.

[RevCheesehead]

54. I did!

I needed some good ol' comfort food, and I hadn't been there in over a month....
Sometimes you just need to give your bod a jolt, ya know?

[RavensChick]

33. That's what I'll call them idjits the next time I see them

near the Metro station. That's a good one, Keith!

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

32. So when Blacks were lynched Rush, whose America was that?

:grr:

[RavensChick]

48. Exactly!

It was much worse back then from what I saw on TV, learned in school, and what my elder relatives and friends told me down through the years. Now everyone is listening to these assholes to take us back to those days?!?! I don't think so!

[bleever]

35. Keef: The final "e" in Moscone is not silent.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

46. Hi, bleev!

:hi: Forgive the poor boy. Remember, Keith has French in him, not Italian. He's used to not pronouncing half his vowels.

[Patsy Stone]

59. Maybe he had calzone on the brain?

:hi:

[bleever]

85. Or,

"Patsy Stone"?

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

45. Howard!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RavensChick]

52. He's always on point!

I like him too!

[ralps]

55. Today's worst person in the world is Lou Dobbs!!!!! LOL

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

[Berry Cool]

57. "Where are my teeth?"

:rofl: Oh. My. God. Keith, that's CRUEL. :rofl: Absolutely hilarious, but cruel.

[RavensChick]

58. No surprise!

That man is a very sad human being.

[RevCheesehead]

62. You know, I turned on Lou's show the other day...

(it had been a while, and I was curious as to what he was up to)... he really DOES sound like Keith's imitation of him! :rofl:

And just for the record, I could listen only for about 5 minutes.

[RavensChick]

71. Listening to him for that long would put me to sleep!

:boring:

[RevCheesehead]

72. That's why I had to change the channel!

:boring:

[Graybeard]

63. I love KO's Dobbs impersonation.

A while back Dobbs got new teeth, full set (tops and bottoms.) When he talks he sounds like he is about to swallow them. Keith really nails him.

[Patsy Stone]

68. How do you know so much

about his teeth? :)

:hi:

[Graybeard]

77. Just look at his mouth...ugh.

Hi Patsy Stone.:hi:

[Berry Cool]

69. Is that what all the moist tongue-saliva sounds are about?

Too funny. Between that and the hyperventilating between words and sentences...

[Patsy Stone]

64. On the way home

sometimes I listen to Leslie Blitzer in his room for situations on XM. I can't change the channel fast enough when it turns into that crazy man's show.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

56. Hi, all!

How is everyone this evening? I was at dinner with a friend. DH has gone off on his bi-annual camping-and-doing-manly-man-things trip, so I took the opportunity to eat sushi and drink lots of sake.

Great news about your dad, Rev! :hug:

[Berry Cool]

65. Hi Pats!!!

:hi: Glad you made it. It must be dining-out night.

[Patsy Stone]

74. Better late than never

although I'll have to catch Keith on the rerun, since I missed the whole thing. :hi:

[RavensChick]

67. Hi, Pats!

Good to see you! Sounds like you had a good time tonight!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

70. Yes, ma'am.

And the salmon was delicious. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

73. I had dinner out too. Then again, I've had a lot of dinners out lately.

It was tuna. Keith would no doubt have loved it. But no Merlot. I'm dieting. I didn't even eat it all at one sitting.

[Patsy Stone]

76. Was it the place downstairs?

I'm going to have to figure out what to do for the rest of the week and the weekend. Saturday is Rosh Hashana dinner at a friend's house, but other than that, I've got to figure out how to feed myself.

[Berry Cool]

81. Um, yeah.

And that's all I'm sayin' about that. Here, anyway. :-)

Oh boy. I wish I could send you some food.

[Patsy Stone]

82. I'm going to need it.

If you don't hear from me on Monday, send chocolate.

[PSzymeczek]

87. Fried eggs and hashbrowns tonight.

Just sounds good.

[RavensChick]

79. I haven't had salmon in a while.

I love it best with a light lemon butter sauce and rice. That's some good eats!

[Patsy Stone]

80. Mine was raw

I'm not really a fish fan as a rule, but I love sashimi. I think it's because it doesn't taste like fish.

[GigiMommy]

75. Hi Patsy!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

78. Hey, GG!

My house is empty too. :hug:
