[Teacup]

My tomatos and cucumbers love all the rain. I think the cucumbers have grown an ich over night.

Sorry to hear about your teeth. Take some tylenol and come freep.

I love my grandkids. They keep us on our toes. Yesterday we went to the store to buy the cake. Some guys kept giving me the eye. I told the grand daughter to say, "Grandma, the cakes are over here." LOL,LOL, The guy was all confused. Some poor guy who looked like he was 20 years old, HA! We had fun.

[lodwick]

You'll be right after a few minutes with FR.
Sorry about the extended program - 90 minutes,
with little kids? Sounds almost Baptist.

[daisyscarlett]

Does BWB have a Southern drawl?

[daisyscarlett]

Oh goody...yes, do spend the rest of the day freeping....find us some goodies ...we do need to keep up, you know.

[lodwick]

Where is everyone?
I still have not gone to to my list!

Pitiful - but FReeping is much more rewarding.
Except when you need something to eat and find the larder bare.

I am outta here for a short.

Thanks so much for everyone that keeps Bumping for Billy.

[lodwick]

to to? to do?

[retrokitten]

Thanks for the update on Billy, Teacup! I am still praying for his safe return.

It looks like I missed all the good stuff, too! What got pulled?

I am happy to report that I am still employeed with Worldcom for the time being and I am going to go out and treat myself to a present this weekend. Nothing to flamboyant, but a treat none the less. You know why? Because in two weeks I will get paid again!!

[mountaineer]

Sorry, ds, I don't seem to be able to find any good scoop. As it turns out, I'll have to take a break in order to bake some scones for someone who just moved to town, so the freeping will be on hold for a while.

rk - the other day I posted some campaign contribution info ( here and a post or two prior) regarding some of the big cheeses at your company. What do you think? Why were they greasing the palms of former Sen. Kerrey and Sen. Leahy?

[mountaineer]

Oh, forgot to add that Lloyd Groves of the WashComPost has his knickers in a twist over reports of two girls who may have been Jenna and Barbara Bush smoking and drinking!!! thread here

[retrokitten]

I can't speculate too much, because I am using thier computer. LOL! I will say this, I find it totally ironic that Worlcom headquarters is in Clinton, MS.

I just found out that they are not done with layoffs in our center yet, so I may have to hold off on my personal celebration for a couple of weeks. Oh well. Such is life, I guess. I will say it again, if my # comes up it just means life has something better for me. I know that I don't have to tell anyone here that God provides and as long as I put my faith and trust in Him there is no way I cannot come out on top!

[lodwick]

Afternoon rk - it would appear that some of codebreaker's Lil Kim, et al, and my Foxy Brown pics were not as widely or widly appreciated as cb and I thought they would be.

I wonder if they snatched my asset manager also?

[JudyB1938]

Codebreaker ... No current FReeper by that name.

[lodwick]

Yep. Got my banker also.

[lodwick]

Registered's latest

Fetch me a brew, SugarLumpkins.

[M Kehoe]

Bttt.

5.56mm

[mountaineer]

What's up with that? Just because of the photos of the tacky Lil Kim (or whatever her name is)?

[JudyB1938]

Not sure, but I do know he acted up on another thread (which got deleted).

[mountaineer]

The account of GWB's visit to Shanghai is very moving. If anyone gets Sports Illustrated, please read Steve Rushin's column in the current issue (I can't give you the date, as my husband seems to have taken our copy to his father already) about his visit to the Oval Office and observations of GWB - a regular guy with a ton of responsbility on his shoulders, whose fondest memories include seeing one of the twins score her first soccer goal.

He speaks wistfully of his pre-White House days, when he was "free." It's really a touching article, not condescending nor critical. I'd quote some of it but, as noted, our copy is no longer around, and it's not posted on the SI web site.

[retrokitten]

No way! I loved codebreaker! Now we are going to have to find our own gossip, I guess.

Okay, Guild, I need a little help. I promised my friend I would send her the "GQ" picture of GWB and I am having a hard time finding it. It anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.

[retrokitten]

Nevermind! I found it!
