today i would like to celebrate life
how wonderful it really is and how
very lucky we are
i shall quote barbwa
"I do agree though that it is a life to be celebrated.
She is no longer in pain, and for that we can all be grateful."
aunt jo was a amazing woman
she had a zest for life, and a passion
to live it
she traveled all over the world
and lived in many places, yet
always came back to her family
my cousin arleen is her only child,
aunt jo has passed onto her daughter
the virtue of life, the goodness of people
and to always savor a good glass
of wine
so to you aunt jo, i raise a glass
of wine, and celebrate your life
and thank you for the amazing
memories that will grow in my
heart forever
and to all of you, who have lost
love ones, i celebrate their life
and what they have given you
in the words of aunt jo
"yes my love" that was her
catchphrase, one i will always
remember and cherish~~
life~~a celebration!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 531 of 531I remeber I was about 4 or 5 whe nwe saw this movie in teh theater...(The CHief) Downtown Colorado Springs...
I thought the wedding was the most amazing thing... thought it took alot more of the movie than it actually does..!!!
dam I got foaded!!
God I'm good~ :)~
Yall are sneaky.. I was just typing away and missed the march!!!
mary~ excuses, excuses~
how hilarious is this.....I'm at work....and I'm talking to Zona...and still got 400~ :)~
I got FOAD at the REAL 400!!
Congrats Tina....
and - Tina - I would come visit you - you are the one that said I would have to come and THEN go to all the stores!!!
tell Zona to get her ass in here...
mek~ oh yeah~ :)~
besides - being 401 - you have to look at me the rest of the night..
LOL...
:-)
Yaaaawn~~
What's all the singing I keep hearing? Are you little owls turning into songbirds? Beautiful voices. cough cough.
I am missing a friend on myspace too ibb. Is anyone else? I've only been a space for about 3 or 4 weeks and the only 'friends' I have are from the nest. Can you figure any of this out?
Yaaaawn~~

MEK~ she says hi....hubby has the computer all tied up....he has a project for work....and it's killing her~ :(
I just got Foad...WTH?
LOL... TIna-- Its the crack house...
Oh yeah....Zona hopes you feel better soon, MEK~
I'm not missing friends~ :D
Bono - I haven't heard from those three in a long time..
IBB has two deleted profiles - but I don't have any deleted...
hi Ronnie...
Yes, we are all celebrating life tonight!!
Tina - waving howdy at Zona also..
Guess they just don't like ...
Oh well... I wont lose any sleep over it... just wondering ...
Tina~
It's Eunice that's missing, and we were friends.
Tina--Tell Zona Hi. for me also....
Tell her we miss her!!!
Mek,
You took Tex. by storm with all your shopping.
I'm like you ibb, I'm not going to try to figure it out either.
Good nap, Ronnie? Tune up your vocal chords and SING!
IBB - you have two "deleted" profiles - I don't see any "deleted" on Ronnie's...
But like you said - don't lose sleep over it...
Yeah, Ibb.
It's just a shadow profile pic with a big red X across it.
I just checked, I don't have any deleted friends. I tried to contact Patty a couple of times but she never responded.I hope she didn't have complications from her surgery.
Mek, i went to 'new' friends on my home page and there it was.
Is that what happens when someone shut down their ms?
this might be a dumb question...but how do you tell if you have deleted profiles?
mine is a big red X across a blank shadow, vig.
Ronnie - you do have a BIG RED X on your new friend page..
that means that they have deleted their own profile...
I wonder who it could be..
It's probably when someone decides they don't want you for a frien anymore. Well okay, then.
Mary/MI~~I was worried about Patty. She hasn't cancelled her MS, but hasn't logged in since mid-January.
yeah, Mek on the new friend page.
When i did my Easter cards I made a list and then checked each one off as I commented. Damn, i wish i hadn't thrown it away....out of curosity~!!!!
Ronnie - when a Big Red X shows up that profile has been totally deleted..
when someone dumps you as a friend - they just disappear -
It could be that they are having computer problems.
Ohhh! I guess i wasn't dumped! lol
I just wonder who it was...she had to be from the nest, because you all are the only friends i have on ms.
Bono, I know. She had the knee replacement surgery. I have heard so many blood clot horror stories. I hope she is alright.
You guys are so much fun... but you keep me up sooooo late...
I really need to go to bed...
thanks for making my night better...
nite all ... have a great Saturday..
Now, you all have me VERY curious..
oh well......
woah...i didn't even know I had a new friends page!!! I have three that have been deleted!
Nite, IBB - I'm taking our mother to Michael's tomorrow - she wants photo boxes!! and I will HAVE to use my 30 percent off total purchase!!!
Have a good night IBB. Sleep tight!
It was RENEE eve's old one... and she just made a new one... that's what one of them is...
Yea!!!
mistery solved!!
Mek..lol
vig..WTH is going on?
IBB, I thought the one she had, say 2 days ago WAS her new one. Wasn't it when she changed her name to Bernie?
IBB - I was going to suggest maybe Renee was one of them - I deleted her X a while ago..
MEK-- the photo boxes are on sale today and tomorrow for 3/$5..
fo fifty
450
VIG and Ronnie - her new page is still there - but you all probably still have the "X" from the old one...
YES!!!
see what ronnie did?
IBB - Yes, that is why she insists on going NOW - like they will never be on sale again!!
and I feel like shit - but i will drive her up there...
MEK--- when did renee eve go missing .. about 3-4 weeks ago... and then she made a new one...
Hope this helps RONNIE...
congrats, Ronnie on 450
Renee wasn't a friend before this 'new one' I joined ms when she was laying low from some unpleasant people.
You know what I mean. lol
I think you're right MEK and I wonder how far back time-wise the delete X goes...cuz one could be delores
VIG - the VonTrapps are at the Song Festival - getting ready to escape!!
I think the "X" stays there until you delete it yourself..
I never had delores!!! don't know her ...
Well, I'm just curious, anyway.
Whoever it was, was certainly from the nest....
I'm telling all of you , it was Tina's friend....Eunice. LOL
And MEK... that is 30 % off total REGULAR priced purchase... not anything on sale...
Did Eunice have a myspace page?? if so, she wasn't my friend. LOL
IBB - trust me - I KNOW what the coupon is about..
I'm going to stock up on adhesive!! and some other stuff..
It's only good until ONE PM
MEK...I love that part. What song do they sing first..is it Edelveiss?
AND- I have four of them - SO, I will be able to make someone's day if they don't have one!!!
I'm going back to bed. I enjoyed my little short visit and learning I have a mystery guest NOT on my page.
Sleep tight everyone, I hope to see you tomorrow.
Carol, peaceful blessings to you and your family.
Ronnie
VIG - yes, they did that and now have done "So Long, Farewell" and the winners are being announced..
BUT - there is NO Von Trapp Family to be seen!!!
OMG - I was 4-69....
O.K... really off to bed now... you have a good rest of the night...
Nite, Ronnie
Nite, IBB
No Mek...Eunice is a figment of my imagination...No MS page. LOL
nite nite.
nite, ibb.
Ronnie - thank you - I thought so..
and there's the empty hallway and the spotlight on it....
and the NAZI running doe the hall yelling...they're gone!!!
Good night, IBB and Ronnie. Sleep well!
Ronnie trips off to bed and stumbles over #475...yeah!!!
Oh, VIG....Surprise! The VonTrapp Family won the singing contest. But they disappeared. Who knew?? :o)
Exactly...who knew?! And where could they be....they're not at the convent are they?
Dang, VIG...just read your post. How DID you know?
Forgive me, Rev. Mother, for I have sinned!!!
They're searching now. I'll let ya know.
I'm glad you gals solved the missing person puzzle!
Now I can sleep better LOL!!
I heard they shut down our Interstate Hyw. tonight. Over 300 accidents! Glad I am in for the night. Sleep tight all.
Dangnabit - we'll have to go over the mountains on foot..
everybody be VERY quiet...
thanks keep me posted...I have no idea if they re hiding behind a locked gate in the convent..and if the "I am 16, you are 17" boy finds them!
SSSHHHSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH
MEK~~Yep, on foot. Because the Interstate is closed. Mary said so!
mary/mi...wow...glad you are safe at home! Have a great sleep!
Okay - we are TOO funny...
LOL - gosh - who would have thought that watching a movie with your friends could be SOOO much fun...
Bono - that was exactly what I thought when I read Mary's post -
Let's try the roof...!!!
climbing every mountain...quietly...to 500!!!!!
Mary - glad you are home safe..
Tina should be showing up REAL soon...
496
VIG - you are too funny..
500
OMG...I have never been in the march before
YES YES YES....
500 it was...
dang...and I just missed it
It's a standoff! Rolf & the Captain.
Don't shoot, boy! Don't be a 'whistle blower'!
Not another step or I will shoot!!
Yea, right...
good job in marching over the mountain MEK
OMG, you guys!
Jim and I have this favorite scene and dialog from SOM, and we say it to each other all the time.
The scene: The B'ness and the Captain are talking on the balcony after Maria has run up.
B'ness: Isn't it wonderful, Gayorg? Maria has returned from the abbey!
Of course, she means nothing of the sort, and is totally wrecked!
So any time we have a similar life situation, where a cynical and inappropriately positive observation on a situation is warranted, we say to each other:
"Isn't it wonderful, Gayorg? ________ fill in real-life situation here.
LOL!
VIG - and there they go happily over the mountain..
THE END!!!
Back to the hills that are alive!
What a perfect 'full circle' to CELEBRATE LIFE. THE END
I'm sure everyone is VERY happy about that...
I see Whabby is back.. did you watch the movie with us??
That was fun..
I must go to bed!!
Good night, Bono, VIG, Whabby, Tina, and everyone else still awake...
I really enjoyed this..
I hope everyone has an excellent Saturday!!!
MEK: Now I know why I have 'half a mind' to go to bed! You have the other half. Can't believe how many times we posted the exact same thing without knowing.
the end!
I am exhausted...that was a long hike!
Whabby, I couldn't go to bed without saying goodnight to you.
LMAO at my interstate closing coinciding with the movie!!
z-z-z-z-z-z-
Good night, MEK. Thanks to you and Bono for the excellent narration...I feel like I was in the theatre!!!!
whab~~LOVE it!
I guess I'm too late for alot of you. Just wanted to say goodby and wish you all a wonderful Easter. I got a message from Custard earlier that said:
"If you are talking to your friends, you can tell them Custard needs a
holster for his gun."
Gee, wonder what he means by that? ROFLMBO!
I won't be back til the night of the 30th. I hope I have great stories to tell you. Bye!
Goodnight All~
J/L~ use protection....all we need in the next is a little Custard running around~ :)~ mwah~ have fun, girl~ :D
JUSTLIN: WAIT....WAIT!!! I thought I was going with you? Have "our" plans changed? ARe you still there......
Dianne~ you goof~ Custard isn't leaving until Monday~ You can still catch him!! :)~
Oh, thank goodness. Thanks for reminding me Tina. I have been so dang sick and on drugs that I thought I missed the trip. You all know that I WILL bring details back or maybe at the exact moment!
TINA: What's with that picture of you? As you know, Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorites. I have a whole WOZ collection and you are disgracing Dorothy!!! Little innocent Dorothy!
Tina and Dianne Are you two planning a raid on Custard? I like the skanky Dorothy.
Dianne Where are you? Did you go back to your sick bed?
Tina Where are you? Gathering your flying monkeys?
I hope J/L doesn't forget that I am going along to protect her. I will be glad to get that darn counter off of myspace!! I am still not feeling great and just jumped on the computer to finally speak plus I was hearing beautiful singing all night in my head. I don't know where it came from but it has me singing Climb Every Mountain!
I read (from bed or recliner) every day on my blackberry so I can keep up with all the comments and what is going on but haven't mastered typing on it yet. MEK I did see your new store...very nice.
My granddaughters finally are both back in school this week and feeling much better. I think once the hospital put some fluids into them through the IV's it helped. The doctor still doesn't know what was wrong with them. Mr Dianne is back at school working and I am the last one still not feeling great but hey, I was the last one sick!! I sure hope this is it for the year...enough already.
Carol, I am very sorry about your Aunt. I think your blogs have been so inspirational. Good thoughts to you and your family.
Ok....back to bed. Well, it is late anyway.
One more thing, thank you so much everyone for the good wishes, the Easter greetings, etc. It is so heart-warming to read those and I have not been able to get back to each one so, again.....thank you very much. You are a great group!!
J/L~ I was writing an email and getting ready to leave work~ I truly hope you have the BEST time with your Custard~
Dianne~ Freaking get better~ And leave Dorothy outta this~ Besides...this woman is actually Helen! :)~
J/L: I am so glad to see you are still awake. You weren't thinking of sneaking away without me, were you?
TINA; She sure looks like my Dorothy and I won't even tell you what my given first name is.
J/L: I also hope you have a wonderful time and it turns out the way you are hoping. Have fun and could you write down everything for us so you don't forget to tell anything? And btw, I read a post from you the other night saying if things work out with you and Custard that you would be not telling as much (or something like that)..bet me...we have not come this long with you for you to keep secrets!! Seriously, have a great time and I will see you at the airport.
Dianne~ you sound just fine to me~ In fact, you are in rare form~ :)
J/L~ EVERY DETAIL....down to who is on top!!! :)~ Have a wonderful time~ :)
I'm going home now~ Go back to bed Dianne~ :)
Okay, I have to try to get some sleep. Sweet dreams to you all. I hope everyone is healthy when I get back.
Dianne I'll be thinking of you as I lick my sweet Custard. LOL
J/L: If you are doing what you mentioned and thinking of me....I don't want to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good night.
Hi HOs. Is anyone here? I'm just flyinhg by quickly to say hello.
Carol, I am so sorry for your loss. Your memories of your Aunt Jo will fill the hole you have in your heart. I'm raising my glass to your wonderful Aunt.
J/L, You probably won't see this,but I hope you have a wonderful time with Custard (I know you will). :)
MEK, LynnD, Ronnie, Tinka, I hope you all feel better soon. You all can use some medicinal Margaritas. I'll leave them on the counter for you.
Mary/MI & Bon, I emailed Patty too and she never answered me. I, have her address so I think I will send her a snail mail.
I'm probably here all by myself, so I'm going to bed. See you all later.
sacHO
