our daily blog is a question,
something for us to ponder
it is from Scirish
Would you marry for money
by Scirish
This was a topic for teens in the local paper.
I was amazed by some of the answers and thought maybe it would be interesting to see what we thought about it as adults.
Most of the teens said they would have to “like” someone to get married and money would be a bonus. Some said that they and the person they married would have to be equal money earners. The ones that broke my heart said that they didn’t care about what the other person did as long as they didn’t have to “live in a box on the street” or “dumpster dive” all their lives. Most of these kids didn’t know what love was. “Like” was ok for a marriage. One girl said she didn’t want to get married because she didn’t want anyone tying her down and she didn’t want to share any money she made. It is a subject that most of us were taught not to talk about, but we do think about it and apparently so do kids.
So, what do you think owls? Do we put too much emphasis on money? Not enough? How does money or the lack of, affect your life? Do you worry about your kids and money? How do love and money interact? Or do they?

FIRST TIME FIRST ON NIGHTOWLS!WOOHOO! LOL
I think a lot of people do marry for money and NOT really loving the person!:( It is a sad thing really.
I could never do it..No amount of money is worth the misery of being with someone you're not in love with!
Dang tinkatia..You're fast! LOL
Congrats on first;)
naughty- disobedient, badly behaved.
Here is the word of the day in a sentence!:)
"I can't wait to be naughty on the weekend of Feb. 22, 2008! LMAO:):)
Have a great day y'all..Trying to step away from the cake! HAHA
Hi Joey from Va- Good Morning. I must feed my 'fur-babies'. They are looking at me and saying "Since when did the computer come before us?" I will be back after I have let them outside and feed them. I feel very naughty putting the blog first.
Joey - Tomorrow, if you see 0 comments, post first and then read, just a tip from a little owl in B.C.
WOW, two of us west coasters are up and posting early!
Hi Carol, Tink and Joey!!
NO WAY would I marry for money. I think about Jackie O whenever I hear that term.
I need to run to a meeting, but when I get back I will post more.
Hope you all have a great day!
Morning Glynis..WOW you ARE up early! LOL
Tink-I should've known better haha
I just hate typing "first"! LOL..and nothing else like they do on Perez! drives me nuts!
I am SO sleepy...I got a call this morning at 6:30 am..WAY too early, but HE can call anytime;)hehe
He's "got it like that"!:)
Morning!
tinka
My goodness, you have changed!
Your owl is so darn cute!
Congrats on First and WOTD....
glynis
I so agree, I would never marry for money! Of course its always nice to have some (as birdee would know), however that would never be the reason for me.
I need the love, I need to feel it, I need to connect, hell I need the sex! And its got to be good...
Money can't do that!
I would rather live in a "outhouse" and be in love, than a mansion with no love!
scirish
Thanks for todays Daily Blog!
Great Topic! :O)
Good morning feathered friends!
TINKA - Woo Hoot!! 1st!! Way to go!
JOEY - HI!
GLYNIS - HI!!
I looked up NAUGHTY in my dictionary and there were 3 pictures next to the word: TINA, LYNN D and JODI! bwahahahahaha!!!!
Here is some breakfast for y'all (that was in your honor, Joey!!)
HOTTTT oatmeal
brown sugar
butter
milk (even soy!)
Whole wheat toast
Bananas
Blueberries
Grapefruit
Yogurt
Hot teas
Coffees
Diet pepsi (for Tina!)
SCIRISH, great topic of the day!
I would not marry for money. I have had money and I have been broke and while not having financial worries was great, sharing love with another is priceless.
My mom used to say...the first spouse was for love and the next one should be for money! She was kidding (she never re-married)...my parents were not wealthy...but the love they had for each other (and us) made them gazillionaires!
CPGEM8 - HI!! How are you feeling?
I am just thinking some more...
Then there is the flip side:
If one is older and alone as their children are grown, (or childless) and they are struggling financially.
If they get a offer to marry for companionship and to help with the finances, Well then I would say do it! As it works for both parties!
Companionship~~Money a great duo!
Ok, just made a mistake with a name on a ticket, gotta go!
Have a great day all!
:O)
mo
Thanks for the grapefruit..
I sent you an e-mail...
:O)
CPGEM8 - If ya accidentally put my name on a ticket to, oh I don't know, the Bahamas or Cancun, that would be ok!!
You made a good point about the elderly. But, sadly too many of the elderly find that if they marry, they lose benefits. And I have heard that in some cases that elderly couples even have to divorce in order to get care for a sick spouse. So damn sad.
LYNN - please come back out today.
Good Morning Glynis. I like getting up early. It's a good thing I do because my 'babies' love it. They are patient with me however if I don't feel well and need the sleep. They wait until my eyes are open before they ever disturb me.
Tango, Tia and Teddy have been fed. They have had their little run in the backyard and their ten minutes of training
"sit, stay, leave". I have my tall glass of Tropicana and I am happy.
Good post Scirish, very interesting and quite sad. Did any of us as teen-agers ever consider the possibility that we may have to live in a dumpster? Were there street people when we were young? I am sure there weren't in this city. It was so safe here. The summer I was 16 and working in the drug store I would sometimes be on the four to twelve shift. I would walk up town to catch the bus home at midnight feeling very safe. Now we have so many people, most of them on drugs, who live on the streets downtown, sleeping in dumpsters or doorways. It is no longer safe to be downtown at night. How very sad that is for our society.
We are the warmest part of Canada so the run-away teen agers seem to end up here. They don't realize how rainy and cold it can get in the winter.
I have digressed from the original topic. Would I marry for money? Glynis, you and I think alike. The first thing I thought of was Jackie O. No money in the world could convince me to live with him. No I would not marry for money. I am comfortable and my kids, the same as everyone else's kids in this city, will be well off unless the price of property drops. That's unlikely because they aren't making any more land. The median price of an average home here is way over the half million dollar price range. Most homes cost a million. Right now we have no inheritance tax so as long as their parents own a home most of our young kids will come into money.
Back to marriage, unless it is George Clooney or Vince Gill (sorry Amy) and they like older (but still kind of cute) women I will stay happily unmarried.
Breakfast time. Where are you Maureen? Will I see the menu when I post this?
Congrats on 1st tink!
Good morning owls!
My dad always said to my sister and I "you can love a rich man just as easy as a poor one". LOL
I went the poor route. Man we didn't have a pot to piss in back then. My sister married a man who was financially set and she lives the "good life", but she married him for love.-just got the money bonus.
I guess my answer is never say never. I will never be able to replace the love affair I have with my husband, if something should happen to him, but if somewhere down the line companionship and money came into play- I don't know that I would object.
Mo- I know a couple who really did have to divorce to protect their assets and get help for all their medical. They found love after their spouses died, married and then he got sick. Broke her heart to divorce him. But the only way to keep her from losing everything from a lifetime of hardwork. That is another story for another day- the awful system in this country to provide for the elderly.
Snowing again in WI- does it ever end??????????????
GOOD MORNING OWLETTES!!!
And you know that includes you Joey!!
Tinka #1..Always!!! Congrats!!
Good morning
Glynis-
MO-thanks for breakfast..I too love some grapefruit!!
CPGEM- good morning.. hope you are feeling better.
Joey -Step away from the cake!!
SCirish.. HHMMMMMM food for thought... It is sad how the kids said they could marry if they LIKED someone...
The kids around here are way different.. they are falling in "love" in high school..and by the time they are 18-19 they have kids... but they are not marrying. they just shack up.. usually with a parent... Gee.. That doesn't make a tough situation harder now does it!!???
I myself... I need to feel loved and appreciated... money just doesn't seem to do that...
so I would have to say NO...
I would noy marry for money...
And on the elderly... they are the ones who should "shack-up" to share expenses..
Hello to anyone posting while I wrote my novel...
ITEACH - Congrats for being last in Area 51!!!! Oh, and I forgot yesterday - congrats on 1 lb!!! You're doing it - and I'm so proud of you!!!
TINKA - Congrats of first and WOTD!!! (JOEY - ya snooze ya lose!!!)
SCIRISH - Great topic!! Fell hard, and married for love this time around. Maybe the next time will be for money!!!
MO - You're cracking me up!!!! And I'm proud to be put in that category with TINA & LYNN D!!!! THANK YOU!!! :D :D
CAROL - I agree with you!!! Gotta feel the love - and the sex? Wouldn't want it any other way :D :D
GLYNIS & JOEY - Waving Hi from snowy (yet again) Wisconsin.
GOLDIE - Good morning!! I guess we broke the snow record - but doesn't look like there's any end in sight - ugggghhhhh!!!! Love your page!!! Good job - I knew you could do it!!!
IBB - Good morning!!! You must have been posting when I was :D :D
TINKA - So sorry - should be ON FIRST!!!
Good Morning Carol, Maureen and Goldie
Maureen - I thought I would find a menu as soon as I had posted.
yummy -
Hot Oatmeal with bananas and brown sugar, toast and tea. That sounds great, thank you. You are right. I just checked my dictionary and all it had was 3 little words, Tina, Lynn and Jodi. Our three naughty girls are famous even in the Oxford dictionary.
night.owls.sb - I hope you are feeling better today.
Goldie - How sad for that couple to have to divorce in order to survive. Again, how sad for our society.
I must have breakfast and get ready to go shopping. I want to find some cute little gifts for my grandchildren for Valentine's Day. I will be back for lunch Maureen. I don't want to miss that.
Good Morning to all the little owls that must still be in their nests. They must have partied late last night. I think I will check out area 51 and then eat.
Happy Tuesday!!
Tink - congrats on FIRST!!
Joey - in the nest - it is OKAY to shout FIRST and noone will judge!!
Good Morning, Tinka, Joey, Glynis, Cpgem, MO, Goldie and IBB...
Scirish - congrats on the blog today!! I will read and post in a few minutes - (have to give Tina something to read today!! LOL)
Dianne in Denver - YES, I am always YELLING at those people on Deal - it's a guarantee!!! TAKE THE MONEY!!!!!!!!! oh well..
LOL at Joey! not quite honey...but you'll get there!
Congrats on first tink!
WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!! BIRDIE AND i HAVE QOTD!!!! LMFAO!!!
Now on to scirish's blog. Thanks for the blog scirish!
Would I marry for money?
Hell-to-the-f**k'n-ya!!!!!
Already did the whole "marry-for-love" bit. It's working out pretty good. So I figure if I ever find myself alone then the next time marry for money and it will work out good to....right??!!
Just kidding.
I have seen some marriages that were made for money. And let me tell you, I would not want to be stuck with those guys. Or any decent guy to be stuck with those women for that matter.
I do have one question though....
If you marry for money are you required to have sex with the rich old fart? Because the answer may just change my mind......
ok....gotta get ready for work!
25- Take that MEK!
Good Morning Ibebold and Jodi-
You are right. As the song says, ♬ ♫ "You Can't Beat Love" ♫ ♬
Good morning, Jodi!!
Good Topic - I was pretty much established in my life, career, etc. when Mr. MEK came along - I had pretty much resigned myself that I would NEVER get married. So, no, money had nothing to do with it.
Barb- you asked exactly what I was thinking!! If sex is part of the deal I would have to think about it.
Tink, yes it was sad. They were both in their 70's at the time. He has since passed away.
My mom is 76 and I wish she would find someone, but I want her find a rich man and shack up!!
Thanks for the nice comments on my new myspace layout (which I am still working on). Who would have thunk it- I actually did something on there after all this time!
~~ waving across the city to Jodi!~~
Good Morning, Barb in WA - you are TOO funny - Love ya..
Goldie - wow, a bitchslap this early in the a.m., I might have to go back to bed!!! LOL.. Congrats on #25!!! :-)
I was trying to figure out how to put my marriage into words, and I gave up - all I can say is that Mr. MEK is wonderful and I don't know what I would do without him.
30
I could be here all day.
Good Morning Barbara and Mek.
Barbara - I think the answer to the sex question is "Yes". They couldn't make enough money in my opinion.!!!!!! Yuck.
HA HA HA -- had to do that!!! Sorry!!! :-)
Oh - I really do need to get a life and get off this computer!!
At our little church here, there are SO many seniors that are "shacking up" because they can't "afford" to actually get married - I think that is SO sad.
When I was younger -there was a street in Denver that had these wonderful HUGE old houses and I would say - when I get older, I'm going to marry a rich, old man and live in one of THESE houses - I never did and never would have - but isn't that funny that I thought about it!!
I hope everyone has an excellent day!!! :-)
LOL@ MEK
Congrats on 30!
The problem is that at work I am on the computer most of the day- way to easy to keep a nest window open and pop in and out!
I feel the same way MEK . Well not about Mr. MEK, but about MR. Goldie. Thick and thin and all that rubbish and he just loves me, that is the best way to describe him. And I feel the same way. I may have days that I want to choke him out ;)- but I wouldn't trade him for anything.
Hey Owlettes,
I have restarted my myspace again, but I was going very slowly. I haven't added very many people...still a little gun-shy!
My screen name is Pua'a Wahine and it is myspace.com/312451675. My page is pretty generic (again!!) and I have my friends and comments hidden. There are still people I would rather not know it is me!
Also, I admit up front...I'm bad at leaving comments!! Dial-up takes forever!
I wanted y'all to know...since I trust you guys!!
Yeah MEK - You did a good job on posting your Valentine's comments!!!
36 - YIPPEEEEEE!!!!!
Hello to BARB/WA!!!! I'd have to think twice about your question. Makes me think of "Pretty Woman" - I don't know why, but maybe sex would be ok......BUT NO KISSING?!!!?
MO - I luv your new page. Your little pig makes me smile everyday!!! :) :)
MO - i just tried you page - says it is deleted.
I see Jodi got "in" - must be me! I'll try again..
Good Tuesday morning, Owls!
Scirish:
Do we put too much emphasis on money?
Not enough?
Hmmmm. Tough question. I subscribe to the "Maggie the Cat" philosophy of money: "You can be young without money, but you can't be old without it", so I put most of my disposable income in durable assets. The trade-off is that life is such a crap-shoot. If I happen to die young, then saving and planning for the retirement years will have been a complete waste of time. And there ARE trade-offs. By the time I retire, I won't be able to do some things, like a strenuous hike up Mount Fuji, that I could do now.
How does money or the lack of, affect your life?
It impacts everything. Life is a series of choices and decisions, and many of them are economic!
Do you worry about your kids and money?
No! LOL!
How do love and money interact? Or do they?
Huz and I were, and are, a love match! I fell head-over-heels for him 11 years ago, and had no idea, and didn't care about, his financial status. So I would say, no.
With a caveat. I think the long-term prognosis for a relationship does have a financial element to it, especially when the two partners in question don't have children and aren't married in the conventional sense.
If Jim and I were really wildly different on our attitudes toward money, I'm not sure the relationship would have survived over the long term, as that initial ardor cools a bit and you really have to confront the question: Do I want to spend the rest of my life with this person?
Light bulb moment - i see what I did wrong!! :-)
Goldie - I'm so glad that you feel the same way about Mr. MEK!! LOL
Scirish, great topic! I think it's really sad that some teen-agers are saying they would marry for money! If you're that young and saying you don't care about love, that's so, so sad. Well, really it's sad at any age.
I could never marry someone I didn't love. I'm so terrible at pretending. He would know in an instant that I didn't love him. Now, maybe if he didn't care about that and he had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel . . . show me the money! LOL
I do worry about my kids and money. I think my biggest mistake in raising my kids is that we give them too much, do too much for them. I worry that they will expect to always live like this and even though we tell them you have to work hard for what you have, they sure haven't had to do that!!
Tinka, I love your new owl! Congrats on first!
Joey, sorry I missed the cake last night--is there any left??
Glynis, have a good meeting.
Good morning, Carol!
Goldie, it sounds like you have a great husband. I do, too, and I'm so thankful for him.
Moweenie! You have a myspace again? Ummm, ahem, can I be your friend? I promise I'm not a weirdo. LOL
Good morning, IBB, Jodi, MEK, and Barbara/wa!
I'm off to get a much-needed haircut and color. See you later.
Whabby's in the house!!! I do remember you making the comment - Huz will die when he sees how much I spent at Costco!! LOL :-)
Hey MEK...we're friends!!!!! YAY!
YEAH ---I'm friends with MO (again)
45!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning, Whabbear! I agree with what you said. Money does play a pretty big role in marriage/relationships, especially when values are different. Don't they say that the biggest reason couples fight is over money?
Also, my husband is a financial planner and he says that sometimes he feels like a marriage counselor because by the time couples have run themselves into the ground financially, the marriage is in very big trouble.
JOEY I just read on the other blog that some girl went to bed last night and had nightmares of pineapples upside down.
TINKATIA high five on being first to post. I slept in.
Good morning WHABBY & SANDIE!!!
Just leaving some lovely Cranberry/Orange Sweet Bread on the counter along with a fresh pot of coffee for a late morning snack!! MO - thanks for breakfast - I love oatmeal with blueberries!!!
la la la la la!!!!
50!!!
JODI is back in the nest! Congrats on 50.
Naughty (corner) is also a word to describe where I was sent last night. :(
I promise to be better today. (fingers crossed)
Good morning, Sandie, MEK, and Jodi!
MEK, so true. We're going to be in Vegas for a friend's 50th birthday the latter half of Memorial Day weekend, and the birthday group has big plans to buy expensive tickets to see Cher. I'm all for it... Huz, no way! LOL! So I think I may be going with a group that doesn't include him!
IBEBOLD, SANDIE and GOLDIE!! My newest old friends!!
MEK - Why the hell aren't you posting pics of your cards??? Didn't Tina teach you well enough?
My husband always give this advice to his friends getting merried... maybe not advice but little piece of wisdom...
When the money good the marraige is good... but when the money is tight , here start the fights...
One of his friends came to him after about 3 years of marraige... and asked him how he knew so much!!
MAUREEN glad to hear that you are back on Myspace. I don't blame you about being hesitant. It's creepy when you chat with someone for months and then learn that they aren't who they said that they are or are just a head case. Most people are normal and their photos are so much fun to see.
MO - Give MEK a break - I think this is the first time she has ever posted a picture comment!!!! But I'd love to see pics of her cards, too!!
WHABBY - I say - GO SEE CHER!!! You'd never be able to "turn back time"!! GO FOR IT!!!
Cher is one of thebest concerts I have ever been too... she changed clothes like 20 times... That was in 1990!!
Had tickets to see her in Dec. of '04.. but I went to Colo. to take mom for Minor surgery ... that turned into major stuff... glad I got to do that!!!
OMG, Wabbear!!Cher! I love Cher.She came here to do a concert but tickets were sold out within an hour and scalpers put them on EBay for $1000.
IBB - have you voted today??
Good Tuesday morning all you wonderful owls.
I haven't read the comments but I will later. I have another busy day today. I am leaving soon to meet some former co-workers for a movie (Fool's Gold) and lunch and catching up. Then I have a sorority meeting tonight. I hope to catch up with the night crew later.
scirish: Good topic. I got married 3 weeks after I turned 18 and I never thought about whether he had money. He was 18 months older and had a job and the world was our oyster. We had some rough times financially, but I never wished for a 'rich' guy. Now, after almost 34 years I am alone and I do think that it would be nice to have a companion to do things with and to talk to when my girlfriends are not available. I also wonder if anyone will ever love me again. I don't think money would be a huge factor, but I would want my assets protected for my children. I have a friend that met someone on the internet and he conned her out of a lot of money.
It is sad today that there are so many young people that think they have to marry someone to get money. Do they just not want to work? Are they just lazy or do they not know that working can be a satisfaction in itself?
I could go on, but before this becomes a novel I will quit.
Have a great day everyone.
Whabby - GO to Cher - Huz will be sad that he missed it when you all get back and talk about what an excellent time you had!!!
TOTD. I would never marry for money.I would have to be in love because a man's wallet and assets are only things. You can buy most everything in life except love and happiness.
MEK-- I woke up-- threw up... called in sick to work and got dressed drove to town got gas . went and VOTED... and now I am home bundled up with fire going... now we are having winter weather advisory until 10pm .. up to 3 inches of ice and then turn to snow...
Yipee!
I did it!
Look cpgem8, Whabbear, Mo, Birdee....I finally made it!
I can't hang aroung just yet, still teaching, but I just had to see if I could do this.
~
Marry for money?
Hell NO!
Love, love, love.....is all I need!
~
Great Day To All!
~
Hope to see you later! {{HUGS}}
MEK-
I did keep my scarf over my mouth when I went to vote... I didn't want to share the crap!!
Hey, why do I have a garbage can under my post? Is that so I can be disposed of easily? LOL!
Yeah - JIGGLIN' IN JAX just did a "fly by"!!!
IBB - So sorry you're not feeling well. I think a little hot toddy next to a fire sounds great!!! Take care of yourself ((((HUGS)))) I'm so glad you went out and ROCKED THE VOTE!!!
Tinka Congrats on #1 and WOTD.
Barbara in WA and Birdee Congrats on Owl Said.
Birdee I knew we competed in marches but now we have to compete in sucking, too!!! ROFLMAO
I think the number one reason for divorce is money. I would never marry for money alone, but I think it does have to be taken into consideration if you want to have a life together.
Jigglin Nice to meet you. The little trash can lets you dump your comment if you decide you don't like it.
Just_Lin,
Good to know, thank you. I thought it was so someone could dump me in it!!! Haha!
Nice to meet you to, I think I remember seeing your name on Ross blog?
Test again....will my pic work?
Jigglin Yes, I still fly over to the other blog on occasion.
Now I really must get out of the nightgown and into daytime clothes. LOL Catch you all later.
Good morning JUST LIN!!! Help yourself to the Cranberry/Orange bread I left!!
Holy Craparoni...we need a door guard...JAX got in!! There goes the neighborhood!! Only kidding!
YAY!!!!!!! JAX made it!! Love ya JAX!! ♥
Good afternoon to JODI, SACBARB, LUST LIN, IBEBOLD, DREAMA, BARB, WHABBY, SANDIE!!
Hey, where's our "fowl owl" BIRDEE?
And sending healing thoughts to TURTLE...hope you are on the mend soon.
Where are AMICUS and ZONABABY and ITEACH? Hope they are all well.
Be back in a while with lunch! Scouring my invisible cookbook for lunch ideas!
Good Morning Owls!
I sure have missed our warm, comfy nest! I'm happy to be snuggled in again and ready to join the hooting. :) My dad's recovery is going well, and he's been feeling much better the past couple of days. Thanks again for all the thoughts, prayers, and hugs!
I've given up on any hope of catching up on all the comments, but I would like to catch up on the blogs I've missed. I'm going to post each of my blog comments separately so I don't end up with a mile long post. ;)
A big Thank You to all the Owls who contribute interesting topics for us to discuss!
Scirish: Thanks for today's topic. I'll be back to comment on that too. :)
Waving Hi to everyone!
Mo!!!
There was a door guard! It looked like an owl at first, but as I got closer, it looked like a chicken. So, I fried it, had lunch, and waltzed on in. What's for dessert?
Hi, Hi, to Jodi!!!! I like your pic! Sorry, I just saw your comment!
Shirley,
I sometimes have trouble falling asleep too, because my mind is busy going over my Things To Do list or replaying the events of the day. Something that helps me tune out the noise in my head is silently reciting the alphabet backwards until I finally fall asleep. Doing it backwards forces my mind to have to concentrate on the letters instead of all the worries that are keeping me awake. If you try it, I hope it helps you too! :)
Well, well, well...it looks like lunch has been decided upon:
FRIED CHICKEN
Buttermilk biscuits
Cole Slaw
Green beans
Mashed taters
Asst. Beverages (use your imagination!)
Hot Apple, Blueberry and Peach pies for dessert
Damn, it sounds like a Crackwhore Barrle menu!
eat up and wipe your mouth!!
Holy Crap, jax fried our chickenowl????????????
Memorial services will be held at 3:00 pm. Apparently there will be no showing or visitation.
Brownies are now being served.....
Good morning everyone!
Congrats on being first Tinka!
Jigglin, good to see you over here!
IBB hope you feel better.
I've been married twice now, neither time were for money.
My current huz and I just bought a house together, which is a really good feeling.
We still own the house I had bought when I was just divorced from first huz.
We are working hard to pay the house payments and the responsibility of having a rental.
I don't think I could marry for money. I have dated wealthy men in the past, and now looking back, the 2 that come to mind first were not people I would have been able to trust.
One was a scout for the NY Yankees and had a big huge World Series ring he wore. I figured it was to let everyone know he had $$. He had a roving eye and our relationship didn't last too long.
There is a big Senior Citizen community near here, and lots of them come to the medical clinic I work in.
I am amazed at how many of the couples live together, they say they can't marry because they would lose their benefits (most are widows or widowers).
On another note, I'm also amazed at some of the goings-on over there. Lots of hooking up happening!!
And I've heard more than a few times of a single woman who lives in the community, who greets all the newly widowed or divorced men who have moved in by walking up to their house barefoot, with a bottle of wine and a smile!! LMAO.
Paula is sitting on my lap while I type, I guess she has forgiven me for giving her the morning antibiotic dose a while ago.
Have a great day everyone!
From the Confessions of an Addict blog...
MEK,
About 15 years ago, my grandma gave me some Currier and Ives dishes, and that started my collection obsession. :) I soon became addicted to the hunt for missing pieces to several dinnerware collections I had started. I was spending my days off traveling to antique stores buying more dishes I didn't need. LOL! I finally sold most of my collections on Ebay, but I still have my Currier and Ives and Old Curiosity Shop dishes. Those I'll have til death do us part! ;)
Amicus-
You are good! I tried your advice to Shirley just now, (although I am not trying to fall asleep yet), and I only made it to Z....then I had to start at A. I'll keep practicing.
~
Mo-
Peach pie, yum! it goes great with greasy chicken. I swear it's still squawking in my stomach!
JAX, whaddya expect? Chickenowls squak and hoot! And you should hear them when they are cornbread stuffed and roasted!!!
Ewwwwwww....sorry!
If ya get stuck on Z, just keep saying it Zzzzzzzzz...and you'll be asleep!
AMICUS, glad you're back! And glad dad is doing so much better.
I have to venture out into the cold and snow and I don't wanna! Can you tell I'm procrastinating??!!
goldie-
Is that what that skinny squawking thing was? Oops, sorry. It is fighting to come back up, so there may be a viewing....ewwwww.

Hello! I am so happy to have finally made it in the gate here. Noone even checked my fake ID!
Good morning ladies and germs LOL!
I am doing a quick fly by.Today is the beginning of the DJ Convention. I will be out of commission for a couple days. I will be at parties and seminars.
I ROTFLMAO at the mention of my slot!
Thanks for the early laugh! It was nice being able to text someone from the nest.
Would I marry for money?? I almost did last night...
"Mary will you take this slot machine to be your lawful wedded money maker" LOL!!
I'm off to make a quick trip to the Down Town casinos before the DJ madness tonight. Have a good day ladies and other roosters.
Mo-
Jinx, we both said 'ewwww'!

JIGGLIN' - LOL@ there might be a viewing. I grew up with 2 brothers and I now have 2 sons. It is there utmost desire to gross their mother out everyday!! Truth is - I'm the one that can usually gross them out - I guess what I'm trying to say is - I luv your humor!!! :D :P
GOLDIE - I feel a headache coming on - pass the brownies. Then at least I won't care!!!

From the Childhood blog...
Maureen,
I thought I was an acrobat too when I was younger. :) I broke a finger doing an aerial cartwheel off the end of a balance beam, and I broke two toes on a diving board. Sometimes, I wish I was still that fearless, but with age comes the realization that we're not invincible. LOL! I don't even like roller coasters now, because I'm scared I'll be in one that will fall off the track.
BTW, I love Cracker Barrel! :) Thanks for the yummy lunch and the welcome back!
Jax: LOL! Have fun practicing. :) Welcome to the nest!
and mo~~~~
whacka whacka whacka~~~
BARB/WA - "hit me with your best shot......fire away"!!!!!
Ok.......now I really have a headache thanks to BARB/WA whacking me!!!! I'll be back after a nap!!! TTFN!!!
JAX - Thanks - that's the pic GOLDIE took of me swilling beer at our lunch a few weeks ago!!!
OK, back from my BNI meeting. I had to give a presentation this morning, so I was up extra early just so I could feel sick and nervous. It went great though, so now I feel MUCH better. I hate public speaking, but I am good at faking it so people don't always know.
SO...marrying for money... I can't even imagine it. When I was a little girl, I used to pray a lot. And my prayer was simple. "God, give me someone to love who will love me too." I never prayed for a big wedding... I never prayed for a big house or a lot of money. I prayed for love! And when my prayers were answered, I hit the jackpot!
hmmmm, BARB is sure "whacked out" this afternoon!! No brownies for her!! ;)
MARY in MI - HI!!! Marry a slot!! Too funny!
LOL at Jodi and Mo!
Hi G! Glad the meeting went well!
From the Body Wisdom blog...
Nowmercy,
A few months ago, I hurt my back at work trying to lift a heavy dog, and it was a wake up call for me to start taking better care of my body. One of the things I did was add a monthly massage to my list of priorities. Wow, what a difference that has made! I can always tell when it's getting close to time for my massage appointment, because I can feel the difference in my body. I love my massage therapist! Your job helps make my job a little easier. :)
I still have two blogs to catch up on, but I need to run some errands before evening rush hour starts. Be back in a bit. :)
ibebold - I am sorry you are not feeling well. Drink lots, stay warm.
Jodi - Cranberry and orange bread. My favourite. Thank you.
Whabbear - I wish I could go to see Cher with you. I would even spring for the tickets. I would love to see her. I also wanted to see Celine in Vegas but that didn't happen either.
Jigglin' in Jax - Welcome. Is your eye on our little owls? Please don't scare them. Some of them like mine are still babies.
Dreama - Heard you had fun in chat last night. See anything good? LOL. I agree, all the money in the world won't buy happiness. Our city is full of old rich retired very unhappy people. They seem to be miserable no matter what the circumstances. The lack of it however can bring hardships. It is hard to be happy when you see your little babies going hungry.
Sandie - I agree. I think too many young people have been given too much and they expect it will always be that way. I am a firm believer in adult kids supporting themselves. I am generous with gifts for my kids and if they were ever in financial need I would of course help. I see a lot of adult kids of friends of mine who make a decent living but the parents still help support them. I think they appreciate things so much more if they have earned it. What's wrong with beginning with a "starter" home and an older car. I see a lot of young ones starting their marriages with new homes and cars because the parents made sure of it. I don't think that's helping them.
I just got a call that my mom is sick today so I am off to help. See you all tonight. Have a great day.
Jodi-
No wonder I liked your pic, I love to swill beer! LOL! I want to go to lunch with you and Goldie!
~
Amicus-
Thank you for the nice welcome.
~
Barbara, Jodi, & Mo-
Thanks to all of you, I now can count.....93,95,95,96,97,99,100,98,100. LOL at all of you counting......
Tinkatia-
Prayers for your mother. {{HUGS}}
TINK - ((((HUGS)))) to your Mom - I hope she feels well soon.
TINKS - {{{{hugs}}}} for mom. Healing thoughts beinfg sent your way.
Scirish: Great Topic!
If I had married for money I probably would not be married now!
I say buyer beware.
Sorry about yesterday gang. I think I am having problems with the blood pressure meds that the doc prescribed. It seems to have kicked my anxiety into high gear. I researched it yesterday and it can be a side effect see doc next week to discuss this.
So Please bear with me. I will check in and out!!
Want to say a hi to Jigglin' in Jax!!! So happy you found us!
Hi Lynn D-
I hope you feel better. {{HUGS}} and prayers for you.
~

Jax- you are welcome to come to lunch anytime, as long as you promise not to give us a viewing afterwards!
Tink- hope your mother feels better.
Brownies all around- just got the call about the boob smashing. Want me back for an ultrasound. Damn, been down this road before and I don't like it!
TINKATIA hope your Mom will be Ok.Big warm hugs to you and her.
Goldie - crossing fingers that everything is OKAY - that happened to me once, thought I had a lump, but it was a calcium build up!! I will say an extra prayer!!
GOLDIE - Hoping everything goes ok with the ultrasound. Give me a call if you want to talk. ((((HUGS))))
goldie.....sending positive thoughts your way~~
Doing a flyby! LOL
y'all are cracking me up..I am caught up on the comments now!
JigglininJax: Your pic is so pretty!
I'm upset because supposedly a basketball game with VA vs. who the heck ever comes on in place of BB9 tonight!?! WTF?LOL..IBB: Is it the same where u live?
OMG I LOVE retro stuff..I just found THE neatest valentine's cards(yeah Mek, let's see those cards..LOL) that remind me of some from childhood..figures they're sold out!
BUT..found a neat site in the process!
Go here:
NEAT VALENTINE'S CARDS
Tink~~ You are probably off already, but I hope your mommy is feeling better soon~~
It's official..I'm in LOVE with the fredflare site! LOL
OMG a "brownie edge" pan! OMG!! LOL
That is THE best part of the brownie..and they've designed a pan!
I also want the sticky notepad(looks like butter pat) on top of the toast! LOL
I'm such a cheese!
AMAZING EDGE BROWNIE PAN
thanks mek. I am sure it will be fine. I have had the ultrasound, then biopsy and then every 6 month for 2 years mammos once before.
It is just a pain in the boob! I expect it to be fine.
thanks Jodi and Barb- :)
Joey, it is what I put IN the brownies that is special.....
LMAO@goldie;)true!
OMG I need to step away, but I have to show you guys the "owl mousepad"! And right up under it, just scroll down little more, and you'll see a cute "owl memo pad"! LOL
I'm in a "show-n-tell" linky sorta sharing mood today! LOL
P.S. Wished I'd have been in chat when all the "nekkid" drama went down! ROFLMAO(yes, FYI I can spell naked..hehe)
OWL MOUSEPAD
MO - just for you - I am going to try to hunt down some pics of cards and put them up!! :-) But - most are pretty hoky!!
I'm just flying in real quick. I don't want Jax to roast me! LOL
Tinka Hope you mom is okay.
IBB Sorry you are sickly today. Think it's the flu?
Goldie Hope everything is fine.
Maureen Thanks for always feeding us so well.
Tink, I hope your mama is better. I'm sure your visit helped.
Amicus, hey! So glad you're back and Dad-Amicus is doing well.
Yea! I'm Maureen's new "old" friend! (I feel it today, too.)
IBB, I sure hope you feel better.
Goldie, positive thoughts to you.
Joey, can you come to my house and bake?
Jigglin' in jax, hi! I recognize your name from the rblog! LOL @ "viewing!"
Lynn D, I hope you're better, too! Don't you just love it when medicine that helps one thing messes up another???
Hi rich lady, Mary/mi!
Hi MEK, Jodi, Barb/wa, East Bay J (yea, Paula!), just_lin, Glynis, sacbarb, Carol, Whabbear and Dreamatexas!
JOEY yep you missed the free strip show in chat last night.
Hi Sandie and every name that is listed above my head. :0)
Thank you everyone. Didn't mean for anyone to think that I am overly worried about the outcome. It is the whole damn procedure part that I dont want to deal with. Been there, done that. And I don't give a shit what they say- biopsys hurt! Come on - let me stick a needle in your breast to numb it? WTF? How about numbing the numbing????
And I was pissed that the little girl at the xray dept calls to tell me this and schedule. How about that hotshot, making a frigging fortune Radiologist getting on the phone??
So thanks for all the well wishes, I appreciate it. Now enought about me, let talk about ..................................BROWNIES!!! :)
MO - just for YOU - I have been going thru tons of photo folders and have posted some pics of some stuff that I have done - it has let me know that I don't really take alot of pics of the stuff that I do - SO - I will have to really start - it's like I make something and mail it or give it away!! I need to stop doing that.
My cards feel like beginner stuff compared to your work and others!!
LOL - let's talk about BROWNIES - I have been thinking about CAKE ever since last night!!!
MEK - Thanks for posting your cards and your pics from your trip!!! I left a few comments for you!! I just made a lovely Chocolate cake (made with a whole stick of butter) with a butter creme frosting!!!
GOLDIE - Holy crap - I just got up from my nap - AND IT'S STILL FREAKIN' SNOWING!!! Enough already!!
Jodi - thanks -
SO sorry that it is still snowing there - I know this will bite me for next week - but today - i had on flip-flops and shorts at the grocery store and I've had the front and back door open all day for fresh air - heck, the sun was beating SO hard in the car - I actually switched the AC on!!
AGAIN - I am SOOOOOO sorry for those in the frozen weather - but you can laugh at me in the summer when it hits 115 degrees and you are all nice and cool!!! DEAL!!
scirish, Thank you for the topic. I heard a long time ago ~ when you marry for money, you earn every penny. I believe it is so true.
Hello to all owls and I love watching you march. I picture little owls marching. Such a funny sight!
GOLDIE, not gonna talk about you...but how about your boob? I hope the boob checks out ok and it was just a bad picture. Sending positive thoughts to you boobie (ok, to you too)
Thanks for the brownies! They are so groovy!!
MEK, I'll go take a peeky-poo!! Can't wait!
LYNN D, GINORMOUS {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you. If you need anything, let me know.
IBB, hope you are feeling better, too.
I still have to get out into the snow...I fell asleep. If I don't get back here in a couple of hours...send the sled dogs out for me.
Oh, did you ever have a dream where you could ACTUALLY smell what you were dreaming about??? I had the weirdest dream and the man in it had on the most amazing cologne...I can STILL smell it in my mind!! Damn it, maybe I should just go back to bed and hope for a repeat!

From the Blogging blog...
Cpgem,
I'm so glad Rosie's blog led you to Ross' blog so I had the opportunity to get to know you. Thanks again for all the time you devote to the Owls Nest, because it has become my favorite blog! :)
And finally, today's blog...
Scirish,
I agree with Whabbear and others who have mentioned the negative impact financial problems can have on a relationship or marriage. I believe in love and think it's the most important element of a successful marriage, but I also think being financially responsible is important. That doesn't require wealth, but it does require wisdom, and that's something I look for in a man. :)
MEK, he was EFFING gorgeous! And he had the most gentle kiss and warming hugs! Tall, dark hair (kinda long with just the right amount of wave), dreesed sharply...Dagnabbit...I wanna go back to bed!!!!!!!
Joey~~
I totally want that edge brownie pan! I'm one of those people who actually eat the brownies around the edge first! But dang bro....$40???? I wonder if it can be found somewhere else cheaper????
Ooops..my Magic Mirror missed
ITEACH
DIANNE and
TINA

lynnd
We have all had the yucky day's

jax
Welcome! You finally made it in!
So Glad your here! Now we can both
bug birdee...
Its snowing here, I am going to leave work early, I have to clean my car off, I hate doing that!
The roads are covered and look
quite slippery...
And...I passed my cold onto my business partner...So needless to say the two of us are not in good shape! We keep spraying Lysol :O)
The fresh clean smell one...
I will read the rest of the comments when I get home...
See ya then...
:O)
Glynis posted the funniest bulletin on Myspace about a little old lady who got pulled over for speeding. Don't miss it. That was so funny!
Good Evening Owls!
I just wanted to pop back in and say something on the subject of marrying for money.
~
My sweet little grandmother used to say, " Do not marry for wealth or riches,marry instead, for what's in their britches." So I did. LOL!
~
Joey from Va-
Loved those retro cards! Thanks for the compliment on my avatar, it's the one I use on myspace, so it was easy to grab and put on here.
~
Sandie-
Yes, I have posted on Ross. That was where I started.
~
Just_Lin-
No more roasting feathered friends for me......it's still fighting back!
~
Zonababy-
Thank you for the welcome!
~
Mo-
Did you say, "Snow?"
~
Goldie-
Prayers for you and your boobs.
~
I have to go and feed the family...ugh, I'm still full from the chicken owl.....
cpgem8-
Yes, bugging Birdee is one of my favorite past times! LOL!
Tinka: I hope your mom is OK and feeling better soon. Please let us know how she's doing. Hugs for you both!
Ibebold: Hugs and feel better wishes for you too. Glad you're taking care of yourself today. Nothing better than being cuddled up in front of a cozy fire on a cold, snowy day. :)
Lynn D: Hope you'll call the doctor soon if you don't start feeling better. Next week is a long time to wait if you're having bad side effects.
Goldie: Sending a prayer for a good outcome.
Joey: Welcome to the nest! Have fun being naughty on the 22nd. :)
Sandie, MEK, Zona: Thank you!
Owls: Hope you all have a relaxing evening!
YAY, I'm officially caught up now!! :)
jigglin jax you are so funny:0)
Happy Tuesday everyone. (((((HUGS))))) to all who need them. I brought some homemade ice cream as a treat for tonight. I have vanilla, chocolate and my personal favorite...coffee. Enjoy!
Scirish in answer to your question, yes I think I would marry for money. I have lived 45 years scaping by with nothing to show for it. I want money! If the marriage doesn't work out I will get a devorce settlement from him. So I see it as a win win situation. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Have a good night owls.
Hi Hooters!!!
Great Topic. I'd have to agree with you all..Marry for Love.
Tink, {{{{HUGS}}}} to your Mom!
I see we have a new Hooter here! And it looks like she may be trouble..I can't believe you owls are frying my ass and and chowing down on it!!!!
Can't a chickenowl get a little help around here?? You guys ever heard of VEGETABLES????
By the way....I'm calling PETA!!!
Dang, g-daughter is bugging me for the comp. again...may have to share.
BIRDEE - So glad to see your chickenowl ass!!!
Hey Jodi!! Nice to see you..
Shirley, I just read your post. You have a point...If the love goes, I go, along with some of his money. Then I will just become a whore like Tina and the rest of these Hooters. LOL
BIRDEE - Was scared that someone had burned you at the stake!!! LOL @ becoming a whore like TINA!!!!
Dreamatexas-
You are funny! :-)
BTW, what is that thing above me at 7:11? It looks like my lunch.
WOW... So much going on this afternoon. I CAN FEEL THE LOVE!!! Thank you all so much for your well wishes...I am feeling a little better... Glad I am off tomorrow!!
Amicus.. Glad your dad is on the road to recovery..
ZONA-- Romper room... what a blast from the past.. Too funny!!
Joey-- no we get BB9.. I would not be a very happy camper if UVA basketball got in the way of Big Brother...
I checked the richmond CBS channel is carrying BB9 also... Sorry...
check and see if they are playing later in the night..
Goldie--HUGE HUGS... My heart sank when I saw that..
Tinka-- Prayers for you and your momma
EBJ-- glad Paula is coming and visiting while you are in the nest... she can feel the love also...
Thank you again for all the well wishes today...
It's soooo warm and comfy in here...
Jigglin jax... HI.. nice to meet you... My friends call me IBB..
Dreama--- Just what are you doing watching such naughty-ness... I am shocked!!
Mo, my boob thanks you. And the rest of you owls too.
Thanks for 150 MEK!
Zona, I loved romper room. You just brought back wonderful memories.
Shirley, I totally like your deductive reasoning-makes sense to me.
Jodi, quick look- it stopped snowing! Just unitl tomorrow night, but still......
Birdee, I was outraged and horrified that someone ate our chickenowl. I even had a service planned for 3 pm. today, but with no viewing of course.
Carol, lynn, ibb and everyone else with the crud- hope you all start getting better soon.
That is my delimma... I have to tape IDOL... and watch big brother... well I have to tape idol in the back room cause hubby would rather watch big brother!!!
He would rather not watch either ... but at least I gave him a choice..
Zona, I loved Romper Room. She never called my name either, Mek. Thanks for seeing me, Zona!
Jigglin' in jax, my mother has all sorts of sayings like the one your sweet grandma said! I still remember some. Like . . .
Don't make love by the garden gate
Love is blind but the neighbors ain't.
Isn't it funny how we remember all that stuff?
I got a new hair-do today . . .but I'm thinking it makes my butt look big. Dang.
I am home. I am tired but the worst thing is the fact that I missed Maureen's fried chicken, biscuits and mashed potatos. And hot apple pie. Did you save me any? I wish I could have nice dreams like you do. Mine are all close to nightmares and I don't know why. So many involve teaching. Now I loved my job but my dreams are all upsetting. I am trying to get in to the school and I can't. Or I am trying to get up to go to school and I can't. I am putting on a concert and everything is going wrong.
I think I need a shrink
Thanks for the good wishes for my mom. I really think her heart is slowing down. She is wearing out and it's hard to watch.
Lynn - There are so many different BP meds. Make your doctor keep trying new ones until you get the ones right for you. Our family has had a difficult problem finding the right BP med for each one with High Blood Pressure.
Zona - I can still see my kids sittting in front of the T.V. waiting for their names. It never happened.
Goldie - I was going to wish you luck but you said "Let's move on". I am thinking about you anyway.
I am going to watch Amer. I. early and I may not be back again tonight so be good everyone.
Wow, new nesters! Welcome! So, Zona - I DID get my name called by Miss Whatever Her Name Was on Romper Room. I felt like such a star - maybe that's when I became a groupie .... sorry, that's a whole other story (right, Whab?).
As far as the topic today - well, some people have actually accused me of marrying for money (mostly my bitch-in-law), but nothing could be further from the truth. He is a wealthy man, but that isn't why I married him. I can tell you for sure that money doesn't make you happy, and is no help when a marriage is in trouble. The only consolation is that if you walk away, at least you can do it in style. I much prefer to have my own money, and thankfully I have gone back to the profession I was trained for, so I can start to become financially independent again. When only one of the partners has the cash, they call the shots!
Anyhoo ... off to look for some tax receipts (damn, I have a lot of paper around this house!)
"Wanda, Wanda is my name,
Oh, boys and girls,
I'm glad you came...."
Just a little tune for Zona and the rest of you 'young' Romper Room Do-Bees. Think WandaWanda may have been PNW regional, though. How 'bout Pinky Lee? Howdy Doody & Buffalo Bob?
Oh, Hi there Owls! Been out traipsing around the forest all day. Just wanted to pop in long enough to drop off spaghetti and steaming garlic bread for dinner and welcome JJ to the nest.
Jigglin ~~ very few rules in the nest, but I'm pretty sure one of them is: WE DO NOT EAT OUR YOUNG!
Oh, and...Marry for money? Put me in the NO column. :o)
cg- that wouldn't be the worlds oldest profession would it? LOL- JUST KIDDING, I thought I was talking to someone else......(wink, wink,)
MEK- I watch both, back and forth, and back and forth. Let's all sing now. "I'm so Dizzy, my head is spinning, like a....." you get it.
;) Thanks Tink.
Jodi- I lied. Went out with the dog and its still snowing a little. Bummer..
Idol On NOW!!!!
Goldie, I say go with the viewing...let them see my bone's!
Those Carnivore's!!
Sandie, LOL @ new hair style make's your butt look big.
Tink!!!! You do not want to eat the chicken(owl)! Resist the temptation!! It's probably one of my relative's.
Mo, I did not know your site would take comments. All this time, I could have been bugging you! Ok, pulling my head out of my ass..will find some to send!
Bon O, Thanks for saving me! My ass is getting sore from all this chomping! ;o)
ibb~~
glad you are feeling better!
LMAO@birdee calling PETA!:)
I know Barb..way expensive, but worth it probably lol
OMG Carol-You ALMOST got the renaming links right!! Since you are the administrator, just go to my comment(and you should be able to see the HTML and way I did it) and just copy and paste it in word or somewhere or mail it to yourself on myspace(am I the only one that does that?haha) anywho, just take out MY link and insert your own and then you'll have the formula.!
Let me know if you need further help..Just message me on myspace!
Okay, back to Idol!:)
Sandie LOL @ your hair making you butt look big. Maybe that's why I don't know if I like my new hair style or not. Hmmmm....
IBB LOL at the choice you gave hubby.
Bon'O The other day I wrote about my childhood friend, Buddy. He won a bicycle on The Pinky Lee Show.
Awesome idea IBB! Thanks..I found out my CBS will air it in it's entirety(sp?lol..looks wrong) at 3:07 AM! HAHA
Checking out Mek's pics on commercial...Glad y'all liked the retro, etc. links!:)
Good Evening Feathered Friends!
What kind of hello hole do I live in??? Snowed all day, at 2 pm it was 14 degrees...now, it is 34 (down from 37 @ 6pm) and POURING RAIN. My parking lot is a sheet of ice...I was this close to ending up in the side of my neighbor's house. If it continues to drop in temp, the city will be covered in ice by morning. gggrrrrrrrr.
Since lunch was kinda heavy here's a light dinner:
Hot Vegetable Soup (eat veggies...save a fowl owl!!)
Homemade croutons
Cheese platter
Fruit
Wine
Coffees
Teas
Soda Pops

Good Evening, my hooter friends..
WOW, thanks for all the nice comments on my "stuff" - makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!! :-)
Dangnabit ya'll - I have decided to watch idol and not worry about Biggest Loser - I just want to know WHY Bob walks off - SO, maybe someone could message me, so that we don't spoil anything - Idol in 15 minutes here!!!
I lost one of my favorite gold earings today (been a hell of a day). Can you please all chew carefully and return it if you find it in the brownies?
LMAO@mek using my "dangnabit" word;)
Okay, Idol is going to be AMAZING this yr...I heard somewhere that they think it's the best of the best this time..I can tell already..I am enjoying this show..glad it still has one hour and 15 mins. left:)
Joey - I did that JUST for you!!
Goldie - I hate when that happens - I thought I bit down on something!! :-(
Barb in WA - I would LOVE to teach you have to make one of those books!! :-)
Joey - Idol says that this year the kids get to use instruments, etc. - I can't wait for it to come on!!
Goldie - I tried to go back to "that" profession - but found out I can't survive on nickels!
MO - thanks for the snacks!!
Good Evening, CG - has it warmed up yet?
IBB - funny about the choice of WHAT to watch!!
Is there a Jew in the house?
Mojohoitz~ STOP DREAMING ABOUT MY HUSBAND!!!! Leave him alone, you bad person, you~ AND you burned my eyes with that email you sent!!! And when were you going to tell me you had a MYSPACE page?!!!!! AND...when I saw the word of the day, I thought....I wonder who will be first to say it!!! Leave it to you~ which picture did they use? :)~
Tinka~ congrats on first and the word of the day~
Joey~ lol at using it in a sentence~ :)~
Goldie~ kisses for your boobs~ :)~

Welcome Jigglin' in Jax~ I don't want to hear a thing about your weather, you hear!!!!!?!~
Hi DeeDee, MEK, Jodi, Zona and Dianne~
