Hee-hee! I'll bet that's right! Would have loved to see the look on his face. Thankful that he wasn't injured.

Nothing is safe is right...!

We tried to baby-proof our home, but here it is 23 years later and they're still getting in...

Elizabeth Montgomery made several TV movies, one of which was "Lizzie Borden" and in another, she played a rape victim. She was a splendid actress.

(((Hugs))) We are here for our hero's our troops and to love and support them.You know that and you know they lurk and we give them a biggest hug.Bet they would have like to interview the girls on Petticoat Junction

USA, CBS (Filmways), Sitcom, 64 x b/w · 148 x colour, 1963
Starring: Bea Benaderet, Edgar Buchanan, Linda Kaye Henning
Petticoat Junction was almost but not quite a spin-off from The Beverly Hillbillies and both were born of the same clever creator, Paul Henning, the doyen of rural comedy. Its main star was Bea Benaderet, who had occasionally featured in The Beverly Hillbillies as Pearl, Jethro's mother. Here she played a similar character, Kate Bradley, the widowed owner of a small hotel, the Shady Rest, in the rural, sleepy town of Hooterville. The series brought deserved top-billing to this actress, who had become familiar to US TV viewers as next-door neighbour Blanche in The Burns And Allen Show and voiced Betty Rubble in The Flintstones (which was an unacknowledged but obvious cartoon version of another great 1950s US sitcom, The Honeymooners). Most of the Petticoat Junction comedy was set in Sam Drucker's general store, the railway station - where the Hooterville Cannonball, a decrepit steam train, was driven by Floyd and Charlie - and around the Shady Rest, where Kate was helped out by her three gorgeous daughters Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo (the latter was played by Paul Henning's daughter, Linda Kaye Henning) and by Uncle Joe Carson, who pronounced himself the hotel's manager.

Like The Beverly Hillbillies before it and Green Acres after it - the latter was also set in and around Hooterville, and there was much cast-swapping as a result - most of the humour came from the wonderful ensemble playing and the characters' bizarre ways of life. Sadly, the series dropped a notch or two when Benaderet missed many latter episodes through ill-health and then died before the sixth US season (at which point June Lockhart was brought in), but its place as one of the best-loved and most durable of US sitcoms was already assured.

[fatima]

I liked her.

[luvie]

Kids are just very pervasive! They are like little--or big--Houdinis! LOL!

How are you this evening? How is Nana doing? Is she still on track to go home tomorrow? I hope so! She'll get better a lot faster in her home than in the hospital.

[fatima]

How is your beautiful wife.We prayed for her again today.

[MeekMom]

I posted this on the last thread but it was just as we switched over. Whale Damages Boat, Injures Man in Calif.
Thursday, February 2, 2006
(02-02) 17:22 PST Santa Barbara, Calif.(AP) --

A whale smashed into a 27-foot boat, destroying the cabin, steering and radar, and injuring one passenger, the boat's owner said.

The Bayliner was cruising off the Santa Barbara coast to catch the sunset Wednesday when the whale came up from below and belly-flopped onto the boat, owner Jerry Gormley said.

The whale emerged again, and its tail toppled the vessel's railings and knocked over a passenger. Bob Thornburgh, 50, was later treated for cracked ribs, his wife said.

The whale was estimated to be about 30 feet long.

Wayne Perryman, a researcher with the National Marine Fisheries Service, said the boaters probably encountered a gray whale, which rarely show aggressive behavior and are common off California this time of year. It could have been a coincidence that the whale surfaced where the boat was, he said.

The whales are also known for approaching boats out of curiosity, he said.

Them's Fightin' Words!!!

Oh great. Someone gave the Princess chok-lit. We're done for now...

[fatima]

Like your home page-got to bed:)

[AZamericonnie]

but here it is 23 years later and they're still getting in...

OMGosh....that's the best laugh I've had all day!

[HiJinx]

are talking about hospice.

Those are very good people...both for the patient and her family. Hospice helps tremendously afterwards, don't let your manager feel bad about going to them if (when) she has emotional problems later...

With our experience with Nana's Mom and the day-to-day activities where she works, well...we just can't say enough good about the Hospice caregivers.

 Hi, Manwiththehands!

Welcome to the Canteen!

 

Wanna buy a burka?

 

 

[luvie]

I think my manager is aware of the good that they do. I think in most cases it is the finality of having to call hospice that is the crux of the matter.

[tomkow6]

Groundhogs are highly over-rated!
BUY A BURKA!!

[HiJinx]

Yeah, that's hard to accept sometimes. It really hit Nana hard to realize that she and her sisters are now the matriarchs of the family...
