[Patsy Stone]

1. And:

[SeattleGirl]

3. LOL! That's a good one.

[SeattleGirl]

2. Hi Patsy!

I must confess I was no fan of Steinbrenner's, but I do feel bad for his family, and for all the people who played and managed for him. So, RIP, Mr. Steinbrenner. I'm sure you'll manage to put together one hell of a team now!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

8. Howdy, SG!

:hi: Good to see ya!

[Patsy Stone]

18. Me either

but you gotta give him credit for becoming an American icon.

[SeattleGirl]

21. Oh, I'm not taking that away from him at all.

I'm not one to go grave dancing.

[Patsy Stone]

26. Then what the hell are

you doing here? :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

28. .....

:rofl:

[ralps]

4. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

6. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

9. Hi SeattleGirl!!!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

12. Hi ralps and Crook!

We're surviving the "air quality alert" so far, and hope you are, too!
:hi: and :meow:

[ralps]

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

I've been inside all day! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

34. I don't think I've said hello

So, helloooooo! Here's a prezzie for Crook:

[ralps]

44. Cool!! I'll have to look into getting some of those for Crook!

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

[RevCheesehead]

5. Does this mean that George Costanza can get his job back now?

:hi: Hi Patsy - what a Keef-o'licious photo you have!

[SeattleGirl]

7. Hi Rev!

I think it means that George can fire Billy Martin yet again! :)

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

10. I think we posted at the same time!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

11. Ha! I think we did!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

15. There was a tweet today

from Michael Ian Black: Somewhere in heaven, Billy Martin just got fired.

[SeattleGirl]

20. LOL! I like that!

Keith was on Ed Schultz's radio show for awhile today, talking about George. Ed said he had heard that Billy's tumultuous relationship with George probably cut his life short by 20 years. Keith said he had heard that too, but had also heard other people say that his relationship with George GAVE him another 20 years of life.

[Patsy Stone]

13. Isn't it magically delicious?

I'm glad you like it. He could, but would he have to come back through a trade? :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

14. Mmm-hmmm!!

:9 I'm sure Berry would agree. :)

[Berry Cool]

17. What the hell, George was from Cleveland after all.

:hi: Even if he grew up to betray us, like some other people... *cough cough*

Anyway, I'm glad Keith has such fond memories of him.

Love this guy's green bow tie...

[Patsy Stone]

31. Hi, Berry!

Enjoy your dinner. :hi:

[bleever]

16. Re: the mental health issues caused by the oil spill,

I can't believe we're not hearing more about the fact that the VOC's in the oil are known central nervous depressants, which means that they can make people significantly depressed, irritable, and confused.

That's why people who work with them daily wear respirators.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

22. Will have to occupy my hands--may be back at end of show.

Sorry, dinner is ready and I'm ravenous. :9

[SeattleGirl]

23. BP not allowing clean up workers to wear respirators drives

me crazy! I don't want "Obama the Dictator" as President, but in this instance, I wish he could order them to make respirators mandatory.

[bleever]

25. He could, one way or the other.

This is one case where I think he's too cautious about pissing off the business community.

And I think the picture behind Ezra Klein is melting.

[SeattleGirl]

27. I'd have to agree with that.

He needs to just order them to provide respirators. Otherwise, the longer-term problems are only going to be even worse than they already are.

[Patsy Stone]

30. Sort of jinx

You don't have to bother with the Coke. :hi:

[bleever]

39. Sort of jinx

gets you:



:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

43. Ohhhh...

Let's forget I ever mentioned it. :)

[PSzymeczek]

70. Where in Hades

is OSHA in this?

[SeattleGirl]

24. Hey republicans (and Ben Nelson),EXTEND THE BENEFITS!

People need that money dang it! And MrSG will be one of those people probably before year's end. :grr:

[Patsy Stone]

29. Ben Nelson

What is he good for? Absolutely nothing. The rain behind Ezra Klein is mesmerizing. I'm trying to listen to them, but I just keep watching the drops slide down the glass.

[Berry Cool]

32. Ben Nelson makes me ill.

Here goes Tweety's ad again. Does he think it's a big sales point to compare his show to sitting around a dinner table listening to your relatives argue about politics? That just turns me way off!

[Patsy Stone]

35. And I know he spits when he eats

because he's probably yelling through the whole meal. Nightmare!

[RevCheesehead]

42. You know it!

:rofl: He spits when he isn't eating, too.

[SeattleGirl]

33. Ben Nelson certainly isn't good for the average American

who now has no means of income.

And if they raise the argument that there are jobs out there but "Americans just don't want to do them" hasn't looked at the reality of the situation. If someone was a secretary, a counselor, a manager, a what-have-you, I can guaran-damn-tee you that McDonalds is not going to hire them, because they have too MUCH experience.

[Patsy Stone]

37. No, no, no...

the argument is that if you extend the benefits, it just encourages people to sit on the couch.

[SeattleGirl]

40. Yeah, you're right.

As soon as MrSG gets done with school at the end of summer, I'm going to MAKE him go get a job at McDonalds! So laziness for him!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

38. Exactly.

Now, what will Keith's next pun about David Vitter be? Will he say Vitter leads a "pampered" lifestyle?

[CC]

45. A special notte to Patsy from her

number one truck driving fan. Thank you for explaining CRAP so well and so funny. He is getting around Miami much better now and even had some really good Cuban food yesterday. He is now comfortable enough to talk the locals into pointing out their fav places to grab a bite and even got one to take him to lunch since he couldn't take his truck. He had to get his truck serviced down there so had time. He printed out what you wrote for the other guys since it was not really good at explaining but entertaining.


:hi: to all. Just got back from BWI so not sure if I will get to pay attention or type much because the crew is feeling neglected.

[RevCheesehead]

48. Ferrettessa!

How wonderful to have a CC sighting!!

:hi: :hug:

[Berry Cool]

52. It is nice.

Glad you could join us, CC. :hi:

[CC]

57. Hi Berry.

It has been way too long. Any typing skills I had and that wasn't much have disappeared so even slower and harder to keep up.

[CC]

53. Hi Rev.

Been crazy, just dropped my brother off to head back to Orlando. Well a couple hours ago now. We aren't close to any airport but not too far either.

[Patsy Stone]

49. That's so funny.

I'm really glad it helped. And: Cuban food... YUM!

My epitaph: Remembered fondly by many truck drivers.

:hi:

[CC]

55. Well they don't even know you

nickname because I'm careful but think a few of them think of ya as a sanity saver.
Not sure if Terry will have any or many more trips down because they say FL season is about over.

[Patsy Stone]

56. Glad to be of service.

With this heat, Florida itself is about over. Oy.

[CC]

58. Last week Ter was glad to be there since it was

cooler. This week we are probably about the same as you. Summer here is pretty much like summer there. The 3 H's.

[GigiMommy]

61. Hi CC!!!

Cassie asks about you a lot. I hope you're doing well.:hi:

[CC]

69. Hi Gigi and Cassie

I ended up on the phone. I check on you two when I play catch up on the threads. I am doing ok and getting better at the walking thing. Have been getting caught up stuff that didn't get done. Weeds took over my garden and still fighting them back.

How are you guys doing? Looks like Miss Cassie keeps herself and you busy. :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: to you both.:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[bleever]

36. Keef's comment about the pedal-car race reminds me

of Clark Griswold in the roundabout.

"I can't get left!"

[ralps]

41. Today's worst person in the world is Rush Limballs!! for saying that Shazad was a

George Steinbrenner made a lot of African Americans wealthy while firing white guys! Wow! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow: :wtf:

[SeattleGirl]

47. Limpballs will use anybody and anything to push his racist

agenda. :grr:

[Berry Cool]

46. Hard to believe it's been 25 years since Live Aid.

How I remember that day. Living in a summer sublet in Syracuse, trying to get a hibachi lit on the tree lawn so a friend and I could grill burgers and hot dogs for dinner. Kind of watching Live Aid on TV with one eye, seeing the Concorde come into Philadelphia with Phil Collins on it.

[Berry Cool]

50. Keith's devoting 21 minutes of the show to Steinbrenner?

At least we get more old Keith footage. :-)

[SeattleGirl]

51. Naw, this is the #2 story.

It'll probably be about 10 minutes ago.

[Berry Cool]

65. Wrong. :-)

Mr. Baseball devoted 21 minutes, minus ads, to Mr. S.

[SeattleGirl]

68. He sure did.

I really should have known he would do that! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

54. As my friend said today

We now know that the Concorde was just about as safe as the plane in the silent films with the ten wings.

My friends came over, and I taped the whole thing, on my mother's VCR, with a wired remote. Yes, I said a wired remote.

[GigiMommy]

59. Hi Everybody!!!

Yet another big sports story this year, R.I.P. Mr. Steinbrenner.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:



And I can't believe it's been 25 years since Live Aid.

[SeattleGirl]

60. Hi Gigi!

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

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[GigiMommy]

63. Hi SG!!!

Hope you're well. Thanks again for all the hugs.:hi: :hug: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

62. I wanted to be there

with every fiber of my being.

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

64. Hi Patsy!!!

Me too!!!:hi:

[Berry Cool]

66. Hey Gigi and Cassie!

:hi: Hope you both are well.

[GigiMommy]

67. Hi Berry!!!

We're good. Hope you are too.:hi:
