Congrats daughter of TGSL

[Dubya]

Today's flag is a very special one to me.

I am very happy for you.

[Billie]

Hi, Dubya! I'm just looking at My Comments, and do you know that you are #202 in both today's thread and yesterday's?! The top two posts to me are from you, from yesterday's thread, and then from today's.

Thank you! Love my flag high in the sky!

[Dubya]

I didn't know that. Thats something. Probably never happen again.

How was "Holes"?

Speaking for myself, I would like to see The Giver be made into a movie. As long as we're talking about Newberry Award winning books...

[Hobsonphile]

I haven't mastered the image thing yet, so I can't give you lovely condolences. I can only give you my boring old words- my condolences for your loss.

From my email today

Star 100.7 Radio Station was doing one of their "is anyone listening who" bits this morning. The first one was, "Ever have a celebrity pull the 'do you know who I am' routine?"

A lady called in and said that when she was visiting her cattle rancher Uncle in Billings, MT a few years ago, they went to dinner at a restaurant that does not take reservations. The wait was about 45 minutes. Lots of other rancher types and their spouses were already waiting.

In comes Ted Turner and Jane Fonda. They want a table. The hostess says they'll have to wait about 45 minutes. Jane Fonda asks if she knows who she is? "Yes, but you'll still have to wait 45 minutes." Then Jane says, "Is the manager in?"

The manager comes out, "May I help you?" "Do you know who I am?", ask both Jane and Ted. "Yes, but these folks have all been waiting already and I can't put you in ahead of them."

Then Ted asks to speak to the owner. The owner comes out. Jane again asks, "do you know who I am?"

The owner says "Yes, I do.... Do you know who I am? I am the owner of this restaurant and a Vietnam Veteran. Not only will you not get a table ahead of all of my friends and neighbors here, but you also will not be eating in my restaurant tonight or any other night. Good bye."

Only in America, what a great country!

'Nite, all - thanks for helping make today special for daughterofTGSL. See you tomorrow. (You too, T Man) :)

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you so much ! I'm sorry I haven't been here much tonight ! I've been on the phone with Dad and some other relatives and friends. Making plans for the visitation tomorrow night at the funeral home, etc. Dad will come up tomorrow and we'll go to that and he'll stay overnight here and we'll go to the funeral tomorrow.

I had arranged previously for a friend to drop off Jeffy, his doggie, so I could doggie sit with him while they take off for Florida for a few days. We'll make the hand off somehow manana . . .

Good night all !

[MeekOneGOP]

sheesh ! Ya'll must think I'm nuts, lol! The funeral is Thursday. We'll go to the funeral Thursday . . .

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, thank you. That is beautiful to me. I appreciate it.

[daughterofTGSL]

Wow, I feel like royalty, what with the thread and then the rose! Today is definitely my day.

[daughterofTGSL]

It was great. It did kinda go back and forth in time a lot, but if you've read the book you'll understand it, and probably even if you haven't. Speaking of The Giver, I would definitely love to see that movie. I was stuck in the book for a couple days till I finished it.

[WVNan]

I'm sorry I missed your party DOTGSL. I did read all about you though and I have reached this conclusion....

[Diver Dave]

Afraid I too missed your party, but it was sure nice being introduced to you here on FR's Finest...

Atta Girl!!!

[FreeTheHostages]

Sorry, just getting to your Jane Fonda story. That is a COOL story. This is a great country.

[stand watie]

[stand watie]
