"I wish I had more time to do more than lurk occasionally but HLL has kept me busy with The Guild threads."

Substitute Billie for HLL and the "Finest" for "The Guild" and you have my sad tale. I just don't get to the Guild like I used to....Maybe you and I should trade places for a couple of weeks, lol.

You are a very important part of the Guild as everyone knows. Your humor and knowledge and loyalty are appreciated.

I will always wonder what the sailors on the Teddy Roosevelt thought when they opened one of the Guild boxes and saw the thousands and thousand of Mentos you purchased at Costco and sent. I remember HLL quipping once when I posted a photo of the USS Roosevelt crew, before we heard that they got the packages. "The next photo you post I hope to see a sailor chewing mentos and wearing lip balm" (Lodwick had sent many, many tubes of Avon lip balm to complement your mentodents, ha ha).

And can LBGA post the photo of you in the pool at DisneyWorld?

I "met" you also on the Guild. Think I sent you on a wild goose chase looking for a Conway Twitty Christmas CD. About time to haul those Christmas CD's....Love the "wings' you posted today.

[Paul Atreides]

Wow! This is a great thread.

The Guild has done an extraordinary amount of investigative work ...... the media would do well to learn their search techniques ..... they might even be able to report some facts occasionally if they would do just a fraction of the searching that our Guild has done!

The Live Threads, the Recipe Threads, the Care Packages, the Daffodil Project ..... the awareness and action taken by the members of The Guild truly make them citizens, not spectators!

This special recognition of The Guild is certainly well deserved!

[daisyscarlett]

Love those Page Six items you guys post. Love the tabloid ones too. Amazingly, some of them turn out to be true. The one about Carolyn Condit having no thumbs turned out to be not true. But wasn't it fun scrutizing photos of her and checking out her hands to see if her thumbs were pasted on. lol..

In memory of the five helicoptor crew lost in VietNam on this date, RIP.

Happpy Monday to all!!!!!

Hope everyone is excited about the short work week. For those of you entertaining guest this week for thanksgiving you are to be truly appreciated. I am going to my mother's house and she puts a lot of work into making thanksgiving a great time.

The calendar is down at the moment so I have no idea if we have any anniversaries today. As soon as I can get into it I will post any if they are out there.

What a fine tribute to some very funny ladies! They are sassy, saucy and sarcastic, and so very generous to send the care packages like they did.Hats,gloves and pearls, off to The Guild!

[LBGA]

(LBGA there's money in it for you if you don't post the picture of us sitting at the bar)

How about the pic of us in the pool? Was this before or after the margaritas??? I don't remember. ;-)

Substitute Billie for HLL and the "Finest" for "The Guild" and you have my sad tale. I just don't get to the Guild like I used to....Maybe you and I should trade places for a couple of weeks, lol.

I know, I've been missing you. :-(

saw the thousands and thousand of Mentos you purchased at Costco and sent.

LOL! Poor HLL about pulled her back out when she picked the box up at the P.Office. I just send money and let her buy the candy.

She told me yesterday how she was buying vast amounts of Milano cookies and the clerk made an inquiry. She told the clerk they were for the troops and the clerk pointed out a sign that HLL had missed. "We support the troops." Clerk said you can get a 50% DISCOUNT!! And you know how we love a discount! (sorry HLL had to tell the story, couldn't wait for you)

And can LBGA post the photo of you in the pool at DisneyWorld?

Oh Lord, I hoped she had deleted that by now. Well, ok, if y'all promise not to laugh at the horrible bathing suit I'm wearing. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it, must have been in a colorful mood. ;-)

The one at the bar is awful, I look three sheets to the wind! (I only had two Margaritas!!)

[LBGA]

Ooohhhh... what lovely roses! Thanks for the pic, Valerie. :-)

[daisyscarlett]

Hi lady....You are no slouch in the baking department yourself so if you say those chocolate chip cookies are great, then folks should sit up and take notice.

Has the Guild seen the current issue of People which has a two page spread on Chels and Ian and their social life? No photos of a drunken Chels but they did allude to her mishaps last winter. Justified it somewhat as testing her independence.

[LBGA]

LOL... I still have them! Should I post the real pics? :-)

[BigWaveBetty]

Was this before or after the margaritas??? I don't remember. ;-)

LOL!!!!! I think that was after the third margarita. We were trying to sober me up so I could drive home. See! I wasn't that drunk, at least I remember! ;-)

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks TO. I, of course, must share those kudos with my pardners, as I know you intended them for all of us.

Billie, Lori and Sandy, see POST #40-

[daisyscarlett]

Hi SheLion...love your signature graphic...

[BigWaveBetty]

GULP! Yeah, go ahead, (no laughing at my choice in bathing suits) just the one where my legs look great. :-)

[jwfiv]

Good morning, Pippin. Good ol' Meek sure makes a good cup of hot chocolate, perfect for a Monday morning.

Thanks, Meek...)

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Thanks for the mention of this year's treats to the troops.

I am so glad that this year we will be getting cookies from the Pepperidge Farm folks, because last year we got 100 pounds of pickles and salsa from the Frog Ranch Company. I will never forget the day the UPS man showed up at my door with box after box of pickles and salsas and dumped them in my living room. It took forever to get them into my basement for shipping. They were so heavy.

Then we got donations from an olive oil distributor. He bought over 24 gallons of premium olive oil and left them on my porch. There was no way that I could ship gallons of olive overseas, so lodwick suggested that we call the Salvation Army so they could use it in their soup kitchens.

I also forgot to mention, that with Billie and everyone else's help, The Guild managed to raise $610 last year with our sale of hats, book bags and shirts on CafePress, and all of that was contributed to the Salvation Army 9-11 Fund.

It's been a pleasure and an honor to know all of you.

[LBGA]

Here you go!

... and this was BEFORE the margaritas! What a fun day it was. :-)
