This Night Owl Blog has given so much! It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"! We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly. And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :) It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!

As I look back!
i am feeling quite nostalgic lately
looking back on my teens always
puts me a 70ish kind of mood
i wonder if i knew all the possibilities
that were ahead of me, i wonder if
i took life for granted, as being a teen
you are so much more into yourself
and your "so called" friends, nothing
around you matters
so as i was looking back, i found
this, and smiled ear to ear, as it made
me happy! it was so great to be a teen
in the 70's
i am so very glad i have the memories
and now looking back it seems like magic!

SacBarb - SO glad that someone else noticed that also!! I felt bad for Lisa, cuz she rubbed the paper and THEN turned it over so people could see what an embossed thing SHOULD look like!!!
Cpgem and Turtle - that ole IBB just ran right over all of us - did we ALL get the FOAD message!!!

We go off on the judges, what peeps are wearing, performances etc.....

I'm just now trying to catch up with all of these comments.
RonnieGirl
I was thinking BFF's husband was now working for United. I know he switched over from American airlines. He flies to Germany once a month for the extra pay.
PS..My B/F said got a chuckle out of Screama. He said yeah, that is my name once a month when I have PMS.
This is a fun blog today Carol. I have to leave and I've only been home five minutes. Ahh, and so life goes. :0)
Mek cursed, I am telling!
Carol: LMAO @ MEK taking her couch. I think she will be standing and screaming most of the time anyway.
cpgem - I think I'll go to the naughty mat and raid the collection plate so that I can buy a t-shirt tonight!! LOL
Good thing MEK wasn't watching Oprah's i'view show just now, touring his Telluride, Colo. home...she'd skip the concert and run away!
My goodness, Dreama, that's a sad nickname.
Just be sure you know which airline to go to when you get ready to board....never can tell...you just might end-up in the Sarah Desert.
Ronnie, smiling and flapping her wings, as she leaves the nest.
BTW....MEK, I love you, too.
"his" would be Tom Cruise...have fun, MEK...thought you were already gone.
carol:
I don't leave my spare shells anywhere, and I was no where in sight, sure it wasn't a load of Mekal coupons that MEK left in the way?
Hey - just got back from dinner. Just wanted to pop in and say Hi to everyone before I hunker down for the night. I have to open this weekend - AGAIN - THIRD IN A ROW........AGGGGHHHHH!!!!
You all are a bunch of marching fools tonight....and I love it!!!
IBB - Congrats on 200!!
MEK - Congrats on 300!!
The HOMEK sisters are on a roll tonight!!!
Hopefully your credit cards didn't take too much of a beating today. :P
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
CAROL - Thanks again for another great blog. Great walk down memory lane for me today!! Oh, and that is great news about your Dad!!! Doing a little happy dance for you. :D
COME ON GET HAPPY!!!
ZONA - I'm not sure what the name of the album is.....but it's the one that looks like a picture album. I'll have to check it out the next time I'm at my Dad's house. He still has all our old LP's.
Had to stop in REAL fast and remind everyone that
GHOST WHISPER is NEW tonight!!!
(Zona - hope you are reading)
Bono - No, I didn't watch Oprah today - I totally forgot - I was getting ready for my big concert!!
I put on cowboy boots - it's TOO hot to be wearing closed toed shoes - but - I must "look" the part!! LOL I've got my Southwestern jewelry on!! I'm good to go!!!
Can't wait!!!
Oh - Jodi - Cpgem got 300 - I was 299 and 301!!
MEK - I stand corrected. Congrats to CAROL for 300!!! Have fun at the concert tonight - I'm sure you're rockin' the boots and the jewelry!!!
Hey Jodi - I just wanted to make sure that credit was credited where credit was due!!! LOL
I'm shutting down and out the door!!
:-)
325!!!!
Yippeeeeee!!!! Now I can go get ready for bed. I'll be back in before I have to go to work.
Muah!!!
You crazy owls!!!
Mary: I am so happy to hear that your brothers surgery went well!!!
Zona: Don't have to be shy with me!
Well kids I am down for the night. Went to pick Mr. Lynn D up from his ride share and drove out of our driveway and thought I will check the mail real quick. I grabbed the mail and forgot about the big ass pot hole by our mail box and rolled my ankle!!!
I don't know if it is a good or bad thing that I am on so much advil right now. It is swollen and I have to keep an eye on it. If it gets any bigger I will have to head in to urgent care. WTF???
Now I look like a Hamster with a full cheeck pouch with a bum hind leg!!
Have to go fill the ice bags. One for my face and one for my ankle.
Wonder what tomorrow holds?
I'm sorry. It's been so long since I read this morning's comments I don't remember who was first today.
Carol I'm more a child of the 60's so I like everything from Paul Anka and Johnny Mathis to The Rolling Stones and the Doors. Prior to the Beatles coming on the scene, I was a big Elvis fan. I used to collect Elvis cards that you would get with bubble gum. Similar to baseball cards. Anyway, I used to basically swoon over them. The insides of my closet doors were covered with Elvis cards. Now, on the wall over my bed, hung a large poster of Johnny Mathis that must have been about 4 x 5 feet.
Mary/MI I'm so glad that Joe is out of surgery. Big sigh of relief.
Lynn D I'm so sorry you twisted your ankle. Life is beating you up pretty good lately. I tried to leave a comment on your myspace twice but it isn't showing up. I don't know why.
MEK and SacBarb I think you should start a Scrappers Anonymous group. LOL
Zona I have two types of inhalers. It doubles the fun. Oh, and by the way, GO TO THE DOCTOR!
Tina I hope you're breathing easier.
Goldie Hope Mr. Goldie is well soon.
There's probably more I should respond to but at this point I've forgotten it.
Oh, yeah. Turtle Seems to me you caught a couple of 69's today. Good goin'! I can't remember the other march winners but there sure was alot of hip action today.
Hey, owls! Here's a quick and dirty story from the 70's.
Some of you will remember that my sister has been having serious eye problems since last summer. As luck would have it, one of her high school friends is now head of optometry at Harvard. Her name is Joan, and she has been incredibly helpful to my sister, to the point where she and bro in law are heading to Boston next week for some American eye surgery!
But back in the 70's, I have this really clear memory of Joan and my sister repeatedly heading into separate bedrooms at my parents house (parents were out, natch) and making out with these two guys. Each time they would come out of the bedroom and report to my friend Rick and myself what they'd just done; Joan gave her first BJ, as I recall.
I would LOVE to remind her about that night now, in an e-mail thanking her for what she's done for sis. But I can't remember the guy's name she was with (the name of the one with my sister was Paul Cramp. Anybody out there know Paul, or any of his friends? LOL).
It's driving me crazy trying to remember it!
Just a little anectdote from the fabuluos 70's!

RonnieGirl
I probably got those airlines backwards. I know the flight is out of DC into Frankfurt. If I get lost then it wouldn't be the first time. :0)
