[Botany]

.... drive by in front of me and my son this AM.

:bounce:

15 feet away .... I waved .... my 16 year son was so so :rofl:

BTW as he was driving by I saw him text the following letters .... E ..... D..... V

[RevCheesehead]

1. Did you take a picture?

Did you invite him in for coffee?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

3. Hi, Rev!

How did your big weekend go? :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

14. It was fun, but also exhausting!

We spent more time in Algoma than we originally planned, then drove around the area where Andy used to live (just a few miles up the road from where I was!!). After that, we were too tired to drive back for the reunion, so we went to the Oneida Casino instead, where Andy won $100. I just watched and was proud, and drank the free softdrinks. :)

How was yours?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

64. Wow

I didn't realize he ever lived near you! (But, obviously, you didn't either.)

Congrats to the lucky winner! Was it slots? It's always a good time when you walk out with more than you came in with. It sounds like you had a great time. Excellent!

[Botany]

4. For $250.00 I could have stood behind him @ a speech/fundraiser ...

.... I spent it on the dentist for my son. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

17. You have to pay to stand there and look bored??

:rofl:

Good move on the dentist. :thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

2. He's visited you, and now he's visiting me.

He :loveya:s us. :hi:



It's about freakin' time. Bring the boys back home.

[Botany]

5. I loves me my President!

For 1 hour he took unscripted questions.

[Patsy Stone]

9. I watched it.

He was fab. And it was nice to see people who liked him. If you hang around here too long, you might get the opposite idea.

[SeattleGirl]

11. No kidding, Patsy.

The Negative Neds and Nellies really irk me sometimes.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

19. You've gotten taller, I see.

Neighbor's kids? :)

[Patsy Stone]

34. I was cleaning all day!

How cute is that? How nervous she must have been to have all that Presidential-ness in her humble home.

[SeattleGirl]

6. Hi Botany and everyone!

I love this!

Not even the Eeyore's can pull me down right now.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

16. Be happy.

Fuck 'em. :)

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

18. I am definitely happy about this!

And "Fuck 'em" is a philosophy I've found to be mighty helpful these days. :)

[RevCheesehead]

21. Please don't give Eeyore a bad name.

He's just a jackass, after all.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

23. LOL, Rev!

You're right. My apologies to Eeyore.

:hi:

[rocktivity]

7. Wow, he sure came up with a great way to get everyone to stop talking about that mosque!

:wow:
rocktivity

[Patsy Stone]

10. Don't tell Howie Fineman

He still wants to be Debbie Downer. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

24. It's our "October Surprise"

The surprise is that it arrived early. :)
:hi:

[ralps]

8. Hi Botany, Hi Everyone!!

[ralps]

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

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

[Botany]

13. BTW I do not want to hear happy talk about the troops a neighbor's son ....

.... 30 years old did 3 tours in Iraq and is dying of brain cancer.

bush/Cheney/Rummy can rot in hell

[Patsy Stone]

15. "The Last Patrol"

Which reminds me of "The Last Prom." I saw it in junior high driver's ed.

This story has a better ending.

[PSzymeczek]

72. "The Last Prom"

was made by the Dayton NBC Affiliate - at that time, WLW-D. Made when I was in junior high.

[Patsy Stone]

73. Funny!

I remember those ambulances like it was yesterday. :hi:

[ralps]

22. Here's a fun LOL Kitteh video!

[SeattleGirl]

33. Hahaha! The second kitteh!

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

28. Last Night, Andy was all discombobulated.

He kept feeling that something really big was about to happen within the next 24 hours. He said he didn't know what it was, but it was a good thing. He called it "life changing."

My sweetie is psychic. :)

[Patsy Stone]

29. Bob Graham

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

C'mon, don't you want your old job back? Either of them?

[SharonRB]

31. Happy out of Iraq day, everyone!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

35. Hi Sharon!

Happy day indeed! :hi:

[SharonRB]

37. Hi, SG

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

38. Happy OOI to you, too!

That's pronounced "wheeee!"

:hi:

[SharonRB]

44. An alternate is yippee!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

40. You too!

:hi: I don't see a Mission Accomplished banner anywhere.

[SharonRB]

47. And, thank goodness, no cod piece

:rofl:

Can you imagine how the right would react to that on Obama?

[Patsy Stone]

49. 15-20 news cycles

easy. Gray matter and blood everywhere. Dr. Laura might even reconsider her decision. Heaven forbid.

[SharonRB]

61. Thank goodness the mosque is gone for now

I should check Faux News and see how they're covering this.

[Patsy Stone]

32. BREAKING HARD!!1!

[SeattleGirl]

36. Pt. Angeles!

One of the offices I had when I was a district manager was in PA. Never saw anybody driving around in a banana costume though.....:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

39. Been there myself once or twice.

Just sent it to my friend in Bellingham (although she's in Greenland right now). Asked her what heck was going on up there. We're they just tired of the adorable shops and streets? LOL!

[SeattleGirl]

41. Maybe they were escapees from Forks, WA, which is considered

the meth capital of Washington. :silly:

[Patsy Stone]

43. That would explain

why Twilight sucked so bad!

[SeattleGirl]

46. Ha!

[RevCheesehead]

42. ...

"The banana costume has been seized and put into evidence."

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

48. Right?

"...a child's banana costume."

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

45. Hi SG!!! It's Cassie!!!!

I have a question. Have you been to or heard of the dry soda company?:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :hi: :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

50. Hi Cassie!!

I haven't heard of that company.

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

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

[GigiMommy]

54. Ok.

It's actually a store that I had heard about on food network. And it's in Seattle!:pals: :hug: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

58. I just looked online, and see that it's downtown.

They apparently sell their stuff our your way too. Just click on Michigan in the link.

[Patsy Stone]

52. Hi, Cassie!

Nice to see you! :bounce: :hi:

[GigiMommy]

56. Hi Patsy!!! Hi everybody! It's Cassie!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :hi: Where's Keith?:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

67. He's on my TV now. I wonder if he's tired?

He's been on a long time. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

51. BTW, Bot.

I heard your call to Steph on Monday. She loves you. I could hear it in her voice.

[Botany]

57. I have known for years but out of respect I haven't said a word.

She still wants me bad ... :rofl: she is just going through a phase

[Patsy Stone]

I know

and that just shows what a good friend you are.

You're right. I'm sure she'll grow out of it. :)

[Patsy Stone]

53. I'm a little verklempt.

Rachel's choked up. It was a good moment, watching that gate close.

[Botany]

59. President Obama then Sen. Obama

At this point, I think we can be as careful getting out as we were careless getting in.

This was planned for Ramadan so there would be no roadside attacks.

[SeattleGirl]

63. Very smart planning, to do it now.

[SeattleGirl]

60. Yes, it was. It was a very good moment.

Not going to be enough for some, but fuck 'em.

Lots of those people coming back are coming in to Ft. Lewis, just down the road in Tacoma.

Welcome home, folks! :patriot:

[Botany]

69. Go bring 'em some

[SharonRB]

62. Me, too.

And Keith can finally stop ending his show with the number of days.

[Patsy Stone]

65. Is he going to be on all night?

What is this, hour three?

[SharonRB]

66. Kind of looks that way

[SharonRB]

68. Just peeked at Faux...

they're still talking about the mosque (of course they are) and Gov. Paterson is on CNN with Larry King. Looks like MSNBC is the only one on this big story. Hard to believe.

[Patsy Stone]

70. Typical

Hey, what's up with the gun nuts in Royal Oak? :crazy:

[SharonRB]

71. It's crazy. Attendance will be down

Families will not want to go with people walking around carrying guns. I've already talked to people who say they're not going for that reason. It's just nutz!

[GigiMommy]

74. Hi Sharon. I'm one of those.

I won't go and I DEFINITELY won't bring Cassie. :hi:
