Hey, DC, has anyone on the Miss sippy ping list decided what we're going to do to help our brethren down south?

I know give money and all but couldn't we go buy several big boxes of burgers at Sam's and go to Hattiesburg or Wiggins and cook for the relief people?

Hell, I don't know it's just an idea. It looks like we're all starting to get our feet back on the ground so we oughta do something. I've got a grill, truck, fifteen gallons of gas, and a 9 year old helper and 6.5 year old helper that I'll donate to the cause.

Mrs. Malichi could make something too and she's very easy on the eyes. Sam, the 2.5 year old Tasmanian Devil, would provide entertainment.

Let me know.

Just wait until you hear the gold-bugs wailing and gnashing their teeth when they figure out that NO ONE WANTS GOLD in a disaster area...just beer, cigs, gasoline, etc...

Thanks.

BTW, just for funsies.... I will now attempt to unify the rock-n-roll and baby care themes of this thread by quoting a song in full. I would try to work in the substance abuse theme too, but that would certainly amount to negligent parenting.

"Stay Up Late"
by Talking Heads

Mommy had,
a little baby.
There he is,
fast asleep.
He's just,
a little plaything.
Why not,
wake him up?
Cute, cute,
little baby.
Little pee pee,
little toes.
Now he's,
coming to me.
Crawl across,
the kitchen floor.

CHORUS:
Baby, baby, please let me hold him
I wanna make him stay up all night
Sister, sister, he's just a plaything
We wanna make him stay up all night
Yeah we do

See him drink,
from a bottle.
See him eat,
from a plate.
Cute, cute,
as a button.
Don't you wanna make him,
stay up late.
We're having fun,
with no money.
Little smile,
on his face.
Don't cha love,
the little baby.
Don't you wanna make him,
stay up late.

CHORUS

Here we go (all night long)
Sister, sister (all night long
In the playpen..woo...(all night long)
Little baby goes ha! (all night long)
I know you wanna leave me...

Why don't,
we pretend.
There you go,
little man.
Cute, cute,
why not?
Late at night,
wake him up.

CHORUS

Here we go (all night long)
Sister, sister...woo... (with the television on)
Little baby goes...woo! (all night long)
Hey, hey, baby! (all night long)
And he looks so cute (all night long)
In his little red suit (alll night long)

I think that is a grand idea!

But, I think travel is too hazardous down there right now.
The only thing I know to tell you is to check the C/L,
or WLBT for updates on how things are down there.

It is a real mess.

Maybe you can tell him about things, wardaddy.

[dixiechick2000]

Well, they can have their Daddy's hair color. ;o)

[bourbon]

I'm going to bed.

Love the idea, Malichi.

Let me know if y'all get anything organized. I'll pitch in $$$ at the very least.

[dixiechick2000]

Am I gonna have to come slap you?

LOL!
That is a great song!

[dixiechick2000]

WOW!


All of us girls have something in common.
Shalimar is our favorite frangrance.

That's all...;o)

[dixiechick2000]

I'm outta here, too.

Thanks for being here.
There were many times when I wondered if I'd see y'all, again.

I appreciate MS FReepers more than you know.

G'nite...

[Malichi]

I'm going to bed. I'll think on it. I usually come up with my best ideas in the shower and at church so tomorrow should be a banner day.

Ya'll let me know if I can help anyone around here. I'm at Baptist in Jackson.

They tell me on another thread that there is no gasoline problem here. I guess I imagined Wednesday through today but, "Tomorrow is another day."

Holler at ya'll later.
