Brett Favre

A Tribute to Brett Favre
by Jodi

This is the day that I have dreaded. Brett Favre announced his retirement today. I have been a lifelong Packer fan, and for the last 16 years Brett Favre has been a huge part of the magic of the Green Bay Packers. I can remember when he first started - this kid from Louisiana. Kind of scrappy, but boy could he play. The people of Wisconsin learned to love this kid, even though there has always been some confusion as to how to pronounce his last name. Makes me think of the great lines from "There's Something About Mary" when Ben Stiller's character was trying to say his name. Yes, I know Tina - why can't they just spell it like it is pronounced!! For those of you who don't know - it's spelled Favre - but actually pronounced FARVE.

Then there were the years that we were blessed to have Mike Holmgren as head coach. By this time the late, great Reggie White was also on the team!!! (FYI - Reggie White was my Mom's favorite Packer of all time. And I like to think when he passed - she was right there to welcome him home.) What a joy to watch those games. They made it to and won Super Bowl XXXI. They made it to Super Bowl XXXII, but did not win that year. It made no difference to me - I just loved watching them play!!! There have been many struggling seasons recently for the Packers, but this last season - it seemed like the old magic was back.

This was the season that he broke many records including for most touchdown passes (442), passing yards (61,655), pass completions (5,377) and games with at least three touchdown passes (63). And ironically, he also broke the record for most interceptions thrown. Go figure - classic Favre. I think Brett's most amazing feat, and one that many believe will never be broken, is his quarterback record of 253 consecutive regular season starts, 275 including playoffs.

I guess what made watching Brett Favre so fun, was the joy on his face just to play the game. You would think after all these years that might fade, but even though his hair is more gray than brown, he still seemed like that scrappy kid from Louisiana to me!!!

BRETT - THANKS 4 THE MEMORIES!!!

MEK>>> touchdown lady!!!!!

MEK in AZ said...

People above me checked out at 6a.m. - trust me - I heard it all and then the cleaning people started in the room immediately - vacuuming, etc. - Not much sleep was had!!

Good Morning!!!

Hope everyone has an excellent day!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Good Morning, nowmercy!!

Looks like we have Sunday "Al Michaels" on Wednesday - off to read the blog

OH - and I got to break the Brett news to some Wisconsin gals in the scrapbook store yesterday - they were visibly upset!!

MEK in AZ said...

Jodi - thanks for the blog today - he went out at the top of his game - which alot of athletes don't get to do...

I felt the same way when John Elway retired - your heart sinks when you hear the news, but you know it's for the best!!

I'll raise my glass to him -

CHEERS!!!!

spring said...

Jodi..I am so glad you got to do the blog today. Brett Favre defines the term "class act" and though I'm glad he's out at a good time for him, his absence will make his integrity and grit even more obvious.

spring said...

Won't be around much today so here's breakfast:

Sprouted bread Toast with cinnamon sugar or jam
Eggs any way you want them
Grapefruit
Oranges
Bananas
Pineapple
Strawberries
Blueberries
Granola and plain thick yogurt
Chocolate chip Muffins
Orange, V8 juices
Americanos
Lattes
Earl Grey double bergamot tea
Peppermint tea
Darjeeling tea

Enjoy fans of football and fairplay!!!!

Tinkatia said...

Tina-in-Ut - Good Morning. I see you brought your pretty portrait back today.

ibebold said...

O.K.... We can honor multiple owls with this statement....

Brett Farve is going out "In a Blaze of Glory"!!!!!!!!!!

ibebold said...

Tina--
Is this who the others call Eunece..
I can't spell it....

canadiangirl said...

Zona is Tink's daughter??? Did I know that? I'm having SUCH a blonde day today (s'ok peeps - I AM blonde)

East Bay J said...

Good morning dear hooters,

Thank you for the happy b-day wishes, they are much appreciated :)

Jodi, what a nice tribute. My mom is a Packers fan too, she is heartbroken.

I felt that way when Joe Montana left the 9ers.

My Paula has another bladder infection. Mr. EBJ and I are very distressed, we thought she was getting better, but looks like we are back to square 1.

Today is back to the vet, probably starting the fluids at home again. I started her on antibiotics immediately last night when I saw her straining to urinate.

We had an appt. for her this coming Friday to recheck her kidney function.

It is so discouraging after 5 weeks to have to start all over.

Mary/Mi the closest airport to me would be Oakland. It is easier and faster than SF, for sure.

I will start to gather hotel info for people who are coming from out of town.

Seasidelady and I are going to co-host at my house, and we are getting together soon to start planning.

MEK please drive safely on your trip home.

You too Kgirl, safe travels!

Yummy breakfast Now...

ibebold said...

EBJ--
I am soo sorry... I meant the Joe Montana that played for Kansas... Not the 49'ers...
I loved Joe....
But it got sad after he left San Fran....


HAPPY BIRTHDAY....

You know I love ya!!!

ibebold said...

EBJ---
Prayers for PAULA!!!!

iteach said...

Jodi,I love your post today!!

Our gym teacher is devasted today. He named one of his son's Brett.

Maureen said...

Good morning feathered friends!

HODI, beautifully and heartfelt written blog.

MEK, congrats on 1st! And 2nd, too! Have fun at the scrapbook stores today. And travel safely.

Good Morning to NOWMERCY (thanks for breakfast!), LYNN, CANADIANGIRL (hugs to you and Paula), TINKA, TINA, IBEBOLD, ITEACH and CAROL (no thanks needed!)

EAST BAY JAY - Have a beautiful, fun and wonderful BIRTHDAY. Enjoy your day.

See ya later

Tinkatia said...

Canadian Girl - No baby yet?
Zona is my cyber daughter. I adopted her when she joined the Ross blog a long time ago.

East Bay J - I am praying that Paula will respond to the meds. She has to be well on your birthday.

Tina - Give that husband of yours lots of TLC. Gingerale and a hug always help.

MEK in AZ said...

EBJ - hope everything turns out okay for paula - positive thoughts!!!

CG - crossing fingers that the baby comes soon...


Mo and IBB - hope you guys get some more organizing done today!! I will just throw all these bags in the loft!! LOL

Okay - this is the WEIRDEST thing ever - I am MISSING A SOCK!! I am packing up my stuff - and I took the damn things off last night and ONE IS MISSING........ it's like the dreaded dryer mystery!! WHERE in the hell could it have gone?? This has NEVER happened to me before...... it's mind boggling!!

SO - I guess I go home ONE sockless!!! Bummer - they were BRAND NEW!!!!!!!

Let the jokes begin - but this is really strange!!!!!! I haven't been anywhere!!!! and no one has been in here....... WEIRD...

okay - I'm off to load the car and check out ---

Again, Whabby and Zona - great time -

later hooters...

Amicus said...

Good Morning Owls!

Jodi: You did Brett proud! That was a great, heartfelt blog! It even made me sad that's he leaving, and I don't know much about him. Hugs!

East Bay J: Happy Birthday! I'm so sorry to hear that Paula had a relapse. Continued prayers for her and hugs for you both.

Wishing everyone a great day!

Amicus said...

MySpace is cranky this morning! It won't let me send, reply, or delete emails. To those of you who wrote, I'll respond as soon as it's working again.

Mary/MI said...

East Bay~ So sad for your Paula is hurting! Give her a gentle {{hug}} for me.
Happy Birthday!!

MEK~ Did you say you lost a sock? You better check your underwear too! I do remember you said you were doing some late night "shopping" last night. LOL!!

Jodi~ Good blog today. You could have been a sports writer.
No doubt the Detroit Lions won't miss him LOL!! (sorry :+])

Thanks for the info. Eastbay. I sure hope I can make it there!

Just_Lin said...

East Bay J HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have a wonderful day.

MEK Congrats on #1, even if the hotel housekeeping got you up too early.

Jodi Wonderfully written blog. Being a 49ers fan, I felt the same way when we lost Joe Montana. It was the end of an era. The 49ers were magical during that time.

whabbear said...

Jodi: Great blog, and I totally agree about Brett Favre and the Packers! When the Niners lose, or don't make the playoffs, I typically shift my allegiance to Green Bay and/or Seattle!

Unfortunately, I can't share your Mom's devotion to Reggie White. Sadly, he was a homophobic bigot who used his high profile to criticize and slander gay and lesbian people.

It is in part because of people like Reggie White that only 55% of Americans today would consider voting for a gay or lesbian person for president. It is in part because of people like him that we are still struggling to achieve full civil rights and respect in this country, long after they have been granted to other minorities.

Reggie was a very talented athlete on the field. However, it is my fervent hope that influential public figures, like him, who bash gays and lesbians, will someday fail to inspire any more reverence and respect than racial bigots do today.

Jodi said...

Hi Owlettes!!! Just got home from work - and had to check in. I seriously thought I was going to throw up - nerves, I guess. When I heard of Brett's retirement, it just poured out from the heart. I appreciate all the kind comments.

TINA & ZONA - Thanks for the encouragement to do this!!!

CAROL - Thanks yet again for giving us a great place to hang out, discuss fun topics, and mostly have fun!!!

MEK - Tried to do my best Al Michael's for you!!!

For all the 49er's fans - Joe Montana was a great qb!!! I, too was a huge fan of his.

MARY/MI - lol @ Detroit Lions not missing Brett!!! I got the same comments today from my friends that are Vikings and Bears fans!!!

DIANNE-YOU-TEXT-HO-IN-DENVER - Luv 2 U - just cuz!!! :D

EAST BAY J - Happy Birthday!!! And I hope Paula responds to the meds. ((((HUGS))))

TURTLE - Have fun in Atlanta with your cousins - and a safe flight back home!!! It was fun keeping you company this week.....when you were "on the road again"!!

Just_Lin said...

I'm popping in real quick just to introduce my new avatar. I'll just be using it for a little while because it makes me laugh. Pleas take a close look. Lovely!

Jodi said...

JUST LIN - Is that Custard in drag?!!?

sacBarb said...

Happy Hump Day Owls. It is a beautiful day here in Sac and I am going to get out in it soon, but I wanted to check in here first. Hello to all the early owls: Carol, MEK, EBJ, nowmercy, IBB, Tinkia, Lynn D, Tina, CG, iteach, Mo, Amicus, mary/mi, Just_Lin, Bear. and jodi.

Mek: Congrats on #1. Did you check under the bed for your sock? Maybe you had a middle of the night visitor who wanted a souvenir? Safe travels back home.

EBJ: A very happy 95th birthday to you. I am only 4 years older than you. Also sending out healing prayers for Paula.

Nowmercy: What the heck is sprouted bread? I think I'll just have some fruit and granola. Thanks.

BBL. I'm off to do errands and get a much needed manicure. I hope everyone has a great day.

sacBarb said...

I forgot to thank everyone for the welcome back yesterday. I am very happy to be back in the nest. I was having serious withdrawals and it was good to get my 'fix' yesterday.

Just_Lin said...

Jodi No, it's George W. in drag! LOL

Jodi said...

JUST LIN - LOL!!! He even has his mother's pearls on!!! :D

Bon'O said...

Just a quick "Howdy" before running to Costco.

JODI~~Beautifully written blog tribute to Brett. I thought of you immediately when I first heard the news. I'm already getting weepy over losing Coach Mike at the end of next season. Such respect for both of them.

SACBARB~~ 8=) I'm guessing N/M meant sprouted GRAIN bread -- good stuff!

J/L~~ I recognized "W" immediately from the cheesy grin. He certainly IS a 'drag'.

EBJ~~Hope you're enjoying your birthday!

sacBarb said...

Jodi: I forgot to tell you what a great tribute to Brett you wrote. He had a long and illustrious career and I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him, even though it won't be on the field now.

sacBarb said...

Bon: Thanks for clearing that up. I don't think I have ever had that kind of bread, but maybe I should try it. Is it a Trader Joe's item?

sacBarb said...

OK I'm just doing this to be 50 since I'll probably miss the marches. I am rally off now.

Lynn D said...

Great Blog Jodi!!! I am sorry he is retiring!

Welcome back Sacbarb!!!

To answer Ronnies question from yesterday! (I think it was Ronnie)Your dog more than likely dug up your bulbs because he could smell the bone meal! Tho my dogs think it is great fun to dig up where I was previously digging.

Our Lab shep mix thinks it is a hoot to bite any daffs that come up at the stem! Don't know why?

Will be back in a bit. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Tina~in_ut said...

IBB~ yes...that is Eunice!!! It's not her real name....but she cracks me up~

Tink~ hubby went to the dr....it's the flu.....all I can really do to help is take the kids to school in the morning....he still has to pick them up since i'm at work! He'll be fine as long as he rests and stays off the xbox!!!! :)

Zodi~ mwah~ :)~

IBB peek a boo I see u :oP

(((((MO))))))) just cuz, let's make some peecon pie and crack open the amaretto.

CG, I'm sorry I forgot when her due date is could you remind me? Do they have a name picked out yet? I kinda thought maybe, since ya'll know it's a boy grandbaby on the way.

Well, I have a big tummy ache today :o(
Yesterday I received my first Easter card along with chocolate... and I went on a binge,*sigh* but it was so friggin worth it.Mmmmm.

♥LOVEY♥ said...

Jodi I know how you feel..it's hard when your superstar retires.
I love Tye Domi from the Maple Leafs NHL.My heart sank the day he announced his retirement.
Your blog is a wonderful tribute to Brett.Thank you for a look into your passion.

Jodi said...

LOVEY - Thanks!!! And don't keep the pie and ameretto to yourself. ;)

TINA - He better stay off the xbox - I know a special nurse that could keep in place - lol!!!

Jodi said...

LOVEY - Was it a chocolate bunny? To go with your slippers?!!?

♥LOVEY♥ said...

Jodi LOL--It was a bag of Cherry Cordial Creme hershey kisses....

MEK in AZ said...

Lovey - aren't those the BEST kisses - they only make them at Valentine's!! YUMMY!!!!

Hey Hooters!! I'm home - just got off the phone with my mom - she was really worried that I would hit "high winds" on the highway - but I didn't!!! I made good time - stopped at a scrapbook store - found the perfect paper to finally make those Rodeo tags - (and now, I have the spring themed ones looming over my head also!!!)

Anyway - BREAKING NEWS ABOUT THAT DAMN SOCK......... when I came back into the hotel room after taking my computer and cooler to the car - it was RIGHT THERE on the comforter......... something is terribly amiss about that - cuz I tore that room apart!!!!! I think Barb IN WA's ghost must have made a visit to my room - BUT - I have my SOCK!!!!!!!!! :-)

SacBarb - there was no "under the bed" - it sat on a platform thing.

Okay - I have posted the pics of last night!! ENJOY!! We did them very quickly upon leaving!!

OH - and I'm going to upload the hilarious pull out couch that was in my hotel room!! as my profile pic... :-)

hope everyone is having an excellent day!!

MEK in AZ said...

Okay - here's the couch!!!
LOL.. and it was NOT comfortable either - imagine that!!
:-)

Tina - sorry that Mr. Tina has the flue!!

Zona said...

Good afternoon everyone! This is really a late start for me today. I am getting ready to go for a walk, but wanted to say HI to everyone!

JODI: I loved your blog. I can feel, with every sentence you write how much Brett Favre means to you. Not just as a football player either. I am so glad you posted this.

MEK: Congrats on first! I am so frickin' happy I got to meet you and WHABBY last night. I was so nervous, but the minute I saw you both smile, I was fine. I'm going to check Nikki's bed and make sure she didn't strip off your sock. She knows a lot of tricks!

WHABBEAR: Another {{hug}}. I just had the best time.

EBJ: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! :)

IBB: Your sister is just a great person. When are you and I gonna meet? Hmmmm?

CPGEM8: THANK YOU! You always come through! :)

TINA: Grabbing my cane and boppin' out the door as soon as I finish this. SWAK!

CGIRL: LOL!!!

TINKA: I'm so glad you adopted me! Go slow on the GW it has to last til Season 3!!

LOVEY: That first step was a scary one, only because I thought I would have nothing to say and just sit there like a doof. But the conversation was natural as can be.

SACBARB: I read what you wrote to MEK twice, just to be sure I was 'getting' it! ROFL!!!

I am off to take my walk! Waving Hi to NOWMERCY, LYNND, MO, AMICUS, J/LIN and BON'O and anyone I missed or who comes in later!

EBJ: I will be praying for Paula.

Zona said...

TINA: Hurry and get here, I want to show you the barn! And of course the T-bird.. ;)

RonnieGirl said...

Hi everyone,

Great tribute Jodi. You're right, at least he goes out at the top.

So many interesting stories today.
Right now, my favorite football player is, my main-man..Nana's boy who is going on 11 years old.

Tina~What a lovely tribute and you named her Eunice. OMG Girl, you are just too funny. I thought it was maybe a family member, i had no idea you were dragging some poor dead lady around.

Well, I'll be back a little later, I have a couple things to do and please everyone, accept this note as a hello to each and everyone of you.

Ronnie leaves shaking her head about Tina and the dead lady.

goldie said...

Congrats on 1st MEK!

Thanks for the blog today Jodi. I do like Brett and Green Bay. Although I watch the Seahawks more. I'm not huge on football, but I have been watching it a lot more these past few years. I'm more of a hockey girl.

I've been super busy today. Just getting everything done here at work and then I have to go home and pack for Vegas Baby!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

EAST BAY J..........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLFRIEND!!!!

MEK...here's your sock!

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

OK....never mind. It works when I type it out, but then it changes the look of it when I post it.

RonnieGirl said...

Happy Birthday East Bay J. I hope you've had a really good day. Would you tell me sometime what it feels like to have a birthday, because I quit having them when my daughter turned 25. I keep telling her she needs to start lying about her age, because all it does is make me older.

Mary/Mi~I was hoping I'd see you. I forgot to tell you the other day when you said you weretold that eating fish and drinking milk would make you sick and die. We were told the same thing too, and I guess we belived it because I didn't let my kids do it either. I hadn't thought about that in many years. I really had to laugh when I read what you said.

Tina,Tina,Tina~Who's the lady on your myspace page? Is she from the cemetery too, or a family member, or just being dragged around?

Ronnie

RonnieGirl said...

Hello Ms. Goldie~

Good to see you again. I do believe you have all the responses covered for whatever topic was posted. You're good, girl. LMAO!!

Ronnie

MEK in AZ said...

Goldie - WELCOME BACK!! Whabby, Zona and I had dinner last night in Phoenix - we kept it a secret on the blog - so we could surprise everyone afterwards!! so you didn't "miss anything"..

and Jodi DID do Brett proud today with her blog.

In case you guys missed it - yesterday, in the scrapbook store - there were two ladies from Wisconsin looking for "Wisconsin" things (Imagine that) and I said to them - OH, you must be in mourning since Favre retired today" and they got SO mad at me - told me it was NOT true, I didn't know what I was talking about, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH....... well - they obviously had NOT been listening to the news!! OH WELL..

Tina - LOL at NOT being available to call me!!! :-)

Barb in WA - thanks for returning my sock..

Jodi - glad you enjoyed the pictures - Whabby was "modeling" the straight man's" Lonestar!! It was missing bears!! :-)

I'm crossing my fingers that the girls do better tonight, than last week!!! (Idol)..

hugs to all.........

Mary/MI said...

Ronnie~ I thought my Mom made that up! I'm relieved to know someone else was fed that story LOL!!

Tina, you're too funny, sending me a myspace "69er". I sent you something for your dead lady!

MEK in AZ said...

Mary/MI said...

MEK, should I dive for the bushes? I didn't get a nap like you did!

MEK in AZ said...

OH MAN - I must have fallen asleep.. I missed a march..

I was showing Mr. MEK the pictures from last night!! BUMMER...

Congrats, Just Lin!! Great March!!

Tina - 88 was my little brother's football number also!! That's why IBB and I LOVE that number!!

Mary - glad it wasn't me that ran over you this time!!

goldie said...

I tried ronnie- I'm not sure which one covers tina's~ dead lady though

Good to know I am not completely losing my mind MEK- Yeah for you and Whabby and Zona!!

Any word on CG and the grandbaby??

barbara- can I go too??? Please, I want to go to Vegas.....
Although we did go to a casino the other day and Mr. Goldie hit for $1000 on the quarter slots! Not as good as me actually hitting, butas is my motto: what is mine is mine
what is yours is mine
what is ours is mine
;)

Mary/MI said...

Tina LMAO! I think Custard is not only better looking AND a man hoot hoot!!

Just_Lin said...

Thank you for a good march. I'm surprised G.W. could march in his pumps.

Mary/MI said...

Barb~ When Mr Mary and I win jackpots we give each other 10% of it. We never get into each others winnings. It is just something we have always done. We share...a little LOL!!

MEK in AZ said...

And for the record - if Mr. Barb in WA wasn't so shy about meeting strangers - I would be surprising someone in Vegas this weekend.. LOL

Hey, anyone live between Tucson and Lubbock, TX that would be interested in a blog buddy meeting?

I leave for TX on Tuesday!!! :-)

goldie said...

mary- When we win we usually give a little to each other-stash what we want for ourselves then put some into a vacation fund. We have had some great vacations paid for that way!!

MEK in AZ said...

OMG - Roadhouse is on - so Mr. MEK keeps switching the channel from Idol to that . NOW, he's just going to go to bed and watch - he said, He'll watch it in honor of Patrick!! What sad news!!

Mary/MI said...

Dagnabit MEK, don't you ever travel to Michigan! I am tempted to hurl my big ass down there! LOL!!

MEK in AZ said...

Mary, dangnabit - I haven't been to Michigan - and why don't you hurl your big ass (your words, not mine) down here!! :-)

Mary/MI said...

MEK, may I be so nosey as to ask where you are going and why? As long as I am being nosey, with whom LOL!!

Zona said...

TINA: I wouldn't say the avatar is an improvement...how do you improve on perfection?? ;)

I walked half a mile in 25mph winds! Pretty good for me considering the knee injuries from a few years ago!

MEK in AZ said...

LOL at Nosey Mary!! :-)
It's my nephew's 4th birthday and we are going to go celebrate!!
:-)

Tina~in_ut said...

yay!!! Zonalishous~ The resistance from the wind is just a bonus!!! Now....about the perfection you were talking about....I didn't realize we were talking about George Clooney~ :)~

Mary~ Did I ever tell you my daddy is from Mich? :)~

Mary/MI said...

Zona~ Good for you! Before I had my new knee put in I used to run 4 miles a day without even breathing hard! I really miss running! That reminds me, I have a treadmill in the basement calling my name!

Zona said...

TINA:

HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!HUGH GRANT!

Mary/MI said...

Tina, no you never told me. I knew you couldn't be all bad heh heh! Mich. has fantastic people..no jobs, but good people lol!!

Mary/MI said...

MEK~ That is so sweet!
I was hoping you were going shopping! I almost ordered my plane ticket LOL!!!

Zona said...

MARY/MI: I sure can feel it in my knees though. My orthopedic surgeon told me to take a cane..but I didn't. Just toughed it out. Now I need my aspirin!

TINA: :)

Mary/MI said...

Zona~ Use it or lose it! I sure would like to lose my love handles LOL!!
And my love belly
love boobs
love cheeks
love ass!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Mary - do you think that I WON'T be going shopping while I am there!! LOL - they have a GREAT scrapbooking store there!! :-)

OH, and Mary, we have casinos here!! One of them just opened a HUGE hotel that was built next door!!

Zona said...

MARY/MI: I want to lose lots and lots..but Mr. Z wants me to keep my boobs..go figure! ;)

MEK in AZ said...

Hey -

LOL

MEK in AZ said...

OH - man...... Zona beat me to 130!!!
:-)

Mary/MI said...

Zona~ Mr Mary has a fit when I tell him I want to "down size" the girls LOL!!

MEK! Casino!! Shopping!! What more can a girl ask for!!!

Bon'O said...

Excited you get to go celebrate your nephews birthday.

goldie said...

MEK in AZ said...

Goldie - you are welcome - I will go have a look at your pics.. I got to meet K'girl on her cross country trip!! Had dinner and drinks - had a really good time..

MEK in AZ said...

Bono - thanks for leaving the light on for us!! appreciate that..

Mary/MI said...

Goldie! You don't really want them..trust me. I would love to have two small buds ^^ LOL!!

Zona said...

MARY/MI: LOL!!

goldie said...

J/LIN: That's ok...I do!

Just_Lin said...

IBB Hi, I'm waving at you. I'm watching AI right now. I am really not liking anybody on BB this season.

ibebold said...

On BB tonight ... it all changes!!!!!
NO spoilers...

Mary/MI said...

The local news just said that Patrick Swazy has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer! That's one of the worst! I think that's what took Michael Landon.

MEK in AZ said...

Mary - that is why Mr. MEK was going to watch Roadhouse tonight!
Isn't that sad!!

MEK in AZ said...

HEY IBB!!!

Hey JUST LIN!!

See - Zona survived her first blog buddy meeting!! :-)

Just_Lin said...

Hey MEK!

Hi IBB~

Zona~ george clooney colin firth dale jarrett jeremy northam jon bon jovi keith urban johnny depp antonio banderas I WIN!!!! :)~

ibebold said...

Well that is just double sad for that movie this week...
Jeff Healey just Died on Monday...
He is the "Blind White Guy"...

Just_Lin said...

Paula is so incoherent half of the time.

MEK in AZ said...

Just Lin - Half the time?? I thought it was ALL the time!! LOL

ibebold said...

If you were full of Pills like she is ... hell we would be on the floor...
And Simon keeps messing with her.. spinning her chair quickly... one time he almost kicks it out from under her!!!

Tinkatia said...

I am home from my grandson's school band concert. They had a 50/50 raffle to raise money for a poor family. I had the winning ticket and won $110. I split it with Cara so it was a lucky night. Now I just have to get through the funeral tomorrow and things should get easier. I am off to bed. God bless.
Love, Tinka

Just_Lin said...

Tinka Sweet dreams. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

ibebold said...

Good Night TINKA...((((HUGS)))))

Just_Lin said...

MEK I loved all your blog buddy photos. Also, I keep forgetting to compliment you on your photos of the golf tournament. Really excellent photos, especially love the Tiger pics. Good job!

Mary/MI said...

MEK~ You mentioned Roadhouse, but I didn't know about Patrick then. I love him!'

IBB~I'm trying to remember who Jeff Healey is. I didn't see Blind White Guy.

MEK in AZ said...

Tinka - good night - will be thinking of you..

Just Lin - thank you so much - I love my Tiger also!! His smile is infectious!!

Mary/MI said...

Tinkatia~ Goodnight, I will be thinking of you tomorrow. I'm sure all will go well.

Tina~in_ut said...

does anyone else ever get the feeling that Carol is here? :D

Dianne/Denver said...

Happy Birthday EBJ!!! Hope you did something fun today and good thoughts to Paula.

JUSTLIN: If that is the "new" picture of Custard, I think I am going to be changing my plans. I might be busy that day.

MEK: Isn't Denver between Tucson and Lubbock?

I was thinking if someone new came on the nest and was just looking at pictures, they would say "boy, that guy Robert really gets around with the ladies"! WHABBEAR..careful of your reputation. I am glad the three of you had such a fun time last night. It's great to see the pictures and yea for ZONA getting over being shy!

JODI: You did a wornderful job on your blog today. You need to send that tribute to your local paper...Brett would be proud!! I know I felt like that when Elway retired and we seem to never get over it here. We want every new quarterback "to be just like Elway" and there isn't anyone like him!! Good job JODI!! Maybe now we can beat the Packers!

ibebold said...

Sorry for the confusion...

In Roadhouse!!!

He is the Musician.at the Double Duece... ... Patrick Swazey tells him .. "you play pretty good for a Blind White Guy.".. and he tells patrick.. "and I thought you'd be bigger... "

Dianne/Denver said...

I so enjoy reading the posts each day. My granddaughter has been very sick and in the emergency room twice in the last few days so I have been busy staying with my daughter and other grandchild. I was up until about 4AM last night waiting for my daughter to get home from the Children's Hospital ER and it was a long night but just reading the posts can sure give some laughs and great stories. The doctors still don't know why she can't break the fever or why the tummy hurts so much. It gets frustrating! Ok...night everyone as I am tired for sure tonight!

ibebold said...

Mary/mi--and MEK..
When you mentioned Raodhouse earlier and said he was watching in honor of Patrick... My thought went to Jeff Healey.. and I thought ..Oh No... Patrick Swazey didn't die also...

night.owls.sb said...

tina I just signed on, Gosh how did you know?

ibebold said...

And Jeff Healey had / has a new album coming out next month... 1st one in 8 years!!

ibebold said...

Hey---CPGEM!!!!

Mary/MI said...

Thanks IBB, I'm a little slow tonight!'
I am checking my email and heading for bed. I am going to visit my little brother tomorrow who is in a nursing home in Mt Pleasant about 70 miles from me. I may hit the Casino while I am there. It is only a couple miles from him. Have a good night all!

ibebold said...

good night Mary/Mi---
Have safe travels tomorrow... and if you go to the casino....WinBig!!!

night.owls.sb said...

I went into the city tonite (NYC) it was my cousins 50th birthday,(she works in the city) so I met her and her coworkers on 57th and Lexington at the 57th hotel. We had drinks and pickings. There were surely not enough pickings but plenty of drinks. It took us 1 1/2 hrs to get into the city and 20minutes to get home.

So lets see. $8.00 to go thru the Lincoln Tunnel $30.00 to park and $60.00 for three drinks and 3 mini burgers. Amazing how expensive the city has become.

The check was actually $600.00
Yep $600.00 for drinks and pickings

We had a good time tho, and my cousin was thrilled!

It was a fun night!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Hello ibb Looks like you are feeling better...Good for you!

MEK in AZ said...

Nite, Mary..

Dianne - sadly, Denver is NOT on the route!! :-) Hoping to get to Colorado this year, though and you can bet I will let you know!!

Cpgem - I was getting worried about you!!!

night.owls.sb said...

I see Eunice has joined us, I think she is so very pretty!!!

ibebold said...

CPGem--
Now I know why I live in a small town... Hell 6 of went to dinner tonight.. and had drinks... the bill was $100.73

MEK in AZ said...
