The Room
A friend of mine added a room onto her house recently. With the help of mutual friends, she painted, decorated, and furnished the room. It was kind of hard to find at first…you didn’t really notice the addition. Every time someone new finds it, everyone inside shouts a welcome!
The room is huge. There is a small kitchen with a large table. The fridge is always stocked with beverages….ALL kinds of beverages. Everyone takes turns making or bringing food…well, except for one, who is cooking challenged! She’s only allowed to buy.
There are enough television sets for everyone to be able to watch whatever show they want. There is even enough room for someone to run around like crazy with a sling shot and not get in the way of the others watching the latest and greatest show. The room is so spacious, that if everyone wants to watch the same show, every person has a great view of the TV and a comfortable chair to relax on.
If you are sick, it’s the best place to be. There are plenty of couches to lay on and doze. There are many who suggest remedies and takes care of the sick ones. Rarely will you catch what they have.
The room is very loud. It’s also very quiet. Sometimes everyone is talking at once, and other times, we sit in silence just enjoying each other's company.
I think the best part about the room is that you can say anything….anything at all, and you will be accepted. Some have other rooms they visit…some don’t. That is okay. Some have differing opinions. That’s okay, too. Some only pop in occasionally or maybe just once. That is just fine. Whatever you need. The room glows with love, acceptance, and most of all, laughter.
One last thing….the room has HUGE windows along one side. Sometimes, if we look carefully, we can see someone peeking in. If that’s you, please come join us!
Where is that room you ask?
You’re standing in it!

is it me???
crud ! I was lurking and still lost!
dancing on the chair......screaming louder than during sex.....still dancing......
okay, I can go to bed now, my life is complete, I watched Tina get to 200
My dog nudged my hand away at the crucial moment! LOL
Congrats tina... on 200...
SHIT - my computer did a hiccup -
See - I told you Tina would run us all over - she is getting WAY too good at this..
do you see her doing her HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! running around her living room yelling..
YES, YES, YES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Crap! I missed it by only 1. Congrats Tina.
I really did scream!!! :D
Nite, Iteach!!!
I'm still trying to get my shoes on! Where'd everyone go?
Where's Ms. Jodi? I sent her brand-new Green & Gold Nikes today...she was supposed to break them in marching tonight, so they'd be scuffed up enough to not have that too-new look at work tomorrow before the Packer game.
DANG!! I was hunkered under the table with my keyboard to avoid being trampled. I guess Jodi'll have to wait for at least 300. 400? 500?
thank you everybody~ I am truly honored to mow you all down~ :D
Yes I see Tina hopping up and down. Now MEK don't pout! LMAO
See, and you guys tease me about this...
it really is the TRILL of the KILL!!!!
O.K.... that was fun... but I need to go to bed... I do live on the east coast... it is after 1am...
thanks again for letting me in... have a great night..
Good Night iteach! Sweet Dreams!
Lynn D If your dog wouldn't have goosed me at the crucial moment I might have won.
Lynn - no pouting on my part - I just LOVE that everyone has embraced this!!!!!!!!
Ibebold - good night, my dear - love you!!!! glad you are having fun - I told you this was a great group!!!
Good Night Ibebold! Thanks for running interference!
MEK LMAO @ "Trill" of the Kill.
Tina, congrats!! I was sitting up on my computer desk to stay out of your way! LOL
G'nite everyone, have a great day tomorrow!
Just lin: I apologize! He is just so excited by the race! LOL
Good night ibebold!!
Good night everyone - Glad I could provide the entertainment!!
Thank you all for putting a big smile on my face!!!
hugs to all........
goodnight ibebold, mek, iteach~
iteach, ibebold, and MEK Good night ladies. I hope I didn't forget anyone. These extreme sports are exhausting.
I just noticed iteach was leaving. Good night. Thanks for not noticing my bad spelling earlier LOL!!
Sweet dreams East Coasters or those off to early a.m. services. I'm sure I'll be gone soon as well. Crazy as it may seem, I hate to miss CBS Sunday Morning at 7am. It's become kind of a weekly ritual. 90 minutes of news, history, biography, culture.....a lot like our Owls Nest (except for the culture part :o) tee*hee*hee
Good night gang! Thank you all for a fun day!
The dog is telling me he wants out and it is bedtime.
Night MEK!!
Goodnight Lynn D~ thanks for playin'
BonO~ I love that show too! I hate when It's the only thing that can get me up early.
Well that was a weird post. meant to say," I hate when I over sleep and miss it"
mary/mi~ ROFLMAO~
Good night everyone. See you tomorrow. I don't know about the rest of you but all that marching wears me out. I wish it made me lose weight.
Mar/Mi~~I even set my alarm for it. Usually that works. Occasionally I'll get really angry at myself because I'll start watching it, eager for a humor or culture segment toward the end. Then, next thing I know I'm waking up to the Sunday Talking Head politicos. Grrrrrrrr. Gotta get a DVR.
MARY/MI: It only takes a hard poke to get me up in the morning..
Goodnight everyone. See ya at Sunday brunch!
Goodnight Just_Lin~
Zona~ OMG!!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!! :D yeah....i don't even wake up for that~ :)~
ZONA?!? Were you hiding behind the couch all that time?
and Tina, it's not nice to laugh at those of us who don't currently have someone to get us "up" in the morning!
Zona~ AH, The old hard poke-in-the-morning! The only "poke" I get now is from an elbow LOL!!
Bon'O~ he could scream in my ear, and I truly would not hear him if I wasn't ready to get up! I sleep thru three alarms! I really do! :D
Hey, kids...just heard from *Nowmercy/mercynow......she finally found her way here and is catching up on the archives so she can jump into the deep end of the birdbath tomorrow! Hopefully, Delly will find her way, too. In their honor, I'll bring extra hot buttered scones, jam & tea.
See ya in the morning!!!
Hooray! More in the nest! I am making home made cheery pie with criss cross pie crust in their honor!
I will be leaving now. I am going to play one more game of Mahjongg and going to bed. Tomorrow is my lay around and do nothing day(except for pie making & FOOTBALL!!)
OK ladies... has the conversation turned to morning pokes, which are sometimes supported by morning wood?
Absolutely disgusting. A new low!
LOL!
Whabbear! I am ashamed to admit I got a little stimulated at the thought of a woody LOL!! What's a gal to do?!!
Wow........CHEERY(sic) pie AND a poke in the morning. So much to look forward to (to dangle a participle).........No dangling jokes allowed, whab!
Mary: This is the place for true confessions.
And if push cums to shove, I do too!
Bon'O: It cracks me up that I'm the only male in here, but we all still have a common interest in dangling participles! LOL!
Whabbear, I love that we can speak & spell freely! To me you are just one of the girls LOL!! I remember your saying something about your "girlie side!
Mary: Yep, trying to work on that this year. I have to do whatever I can to be one of the night owls!
BTW, can you tell huz and I are on our second bottle of wine, after starting the evening out with shandys in the hot tub and then greyhounds?
My name is whabbear, and I am not an alcoholic! LOL!
Watch that water on the keyboard! {Sigh}my huz is passed out from miller lite. The only poke I will get tonight will come from his very active restless leg syndrome LOL!!
Just checked our thermometer it is -3.4` out there!
cough, cough....hi everyone. Whabby what is a shandy? I love Greyhounds. They always feel like you are drinking something healthy! I have been drinking either tea or gatoraide today..yum yum. I don't think butterscotch would be too great in Grape Gatoraid.
Looks like you all had a great time today marching and whatever. It must have been a clean march because I don't see a soul on the floor tonight.
Jodi: Are you excited yet for that game tomorrow. I saw that old quarterback of yours on NFL today and did you know he has grey hair and a grey beard? How old did you tell me he was..50? I think it is great he is still playing football.
Night...
Mary/Mi, you gave me a laugh talking about the poke you will be getting from your husband. My husband is sleeping far away from me tonight and last night...I wonder why?
Diane, I forget..(Huz sleeping far away) do you have a slow leak or something LOL!!
I spelled Gatorade wrong..sorry, it must be the cough drops.
No leaks Mary--I found the Depends in the supply room.
LOL ~Gator-aid. I don't know any gators that need aid, but I know a bear that will be looking pretty wrinkled if he doesn't get out of the hot tub soon Heh Heh!!
Night, to any one still breathing!!
TINA - Congrats on 200!!! I could see you waiting in the weeds. However, that HAPPY DANCE you did at the end woke me up!!! All I have to say about that is "I'll have what she's having"!!!! :D :D
MARY/MI - Only needs a what?!!!? Was it a stiff poke? No wait.......WHABBY said something about Uncle Woody!! I hope he has more teeth than VIG'S Aunt Minnie!!!
BON*BON - So sorry I missed the march to 200 - and I love the shoes!!! If I keep going here, maybe I can tiptoe to 300 before work.
DIANNE - 50?!!? I resemble that comment. Although in the NFL I don't see many 38 year olds doing as well as he is doing!!! Can't wait til the game!!! Did you break out the green and gold lights? Maybe hubby would be a dear and hang them for you since you're still not feeling well. :D
DIANNE - Careful with the cough drops or we may have to have an intervention for you!!!
Just checked the current temp and it's -10 with a windchill of -22!!! But at least we will be at a balmy 14 degrees on Monday with a chance of 4 inches of snow. LOL!! JODI from the TruView Weather Center signing off now.
ZONA - Come out, come out.....wherever you are!!!
ZONA - I'm looking over my good friend ZONA.....that I've overlooked before!!! (in my best singing voice!!!)
Oh Jodi~ I just missed you....just watched a movie with the hubby~ Don't really care for Russell Crowe, but the movie was cute....just can't remember the name of it....took place in France~ btw....who is the 50 yr old packer? Is it Brett?
MEK - I found her......thanks for the map!! And as far as returning John.....I use photobucket!! It's so easy.....even I figured out how it is done!!
Well, TINA - I didn't see you sneak in. Not sure what movie you are talking about. Not a huge Russell Crowe fan - but I did enjoy Cinderella Man. Get it right - he's only 38!!!!
TINA - Which - I don't have to remind you is four years YOUNGER than you!!!
Jodi~ I think it's called A Good Year. Never heard of it before, but hubby liked it and wanted me to watch it~
Was I right? Is it Brett?
People: How do you spell whore? I spell it J-O-D-I~
ZONA - Can you hear me? (still singing)!! I got your messages and THANK YOU!!! You're the best!!
TINA - Yes, BRETT FAVRE!!!!
TINA - Stop.......my stomach hurts from all the laughing!!!! :D :O~
Jodi~ I like Brett.....he used to be in business with Dale Jarrett....my fantabulous race car driver~ They owned a NASCAR team together. Maybe I will root for the packets!
Hey TEENIE!!!! And me being a whore......you got a problem with that?!@!?
PACKERS!!!! If you're going to cheer for the winning team......at least get it right!!! You're as bad as DELORES.....she told me she doesn't watch basketball!!
Jodi~ nah....i ain't got no problem wit dat~ U da ho~ ho ho~
