I was laying in bed and channel surfing looking for something to watch on TV not finding anything I went to my old standby our local PBS and I happened on a documentary that was not only eye opening but made me want to rave about it and let everyone I know that it is a must see!
It is a glorious film about marriage and relationships from every walk of life. The creator of this film is from Seattle and the entire thing is filmed in Seattle with real couples. Many in the gay and lesbian community may already be aware of this little jewel of a film but I think many in the mainstream are not.
This film for me really made me think about relationships and what marriage really is, not the standard between man and woman but person to person. The story of Chuck in this film made me realize that really marriage is about choosing your family. The family for the next stage of your life, when you choose who to partner with, to create your family separate from the family you were born into. This insight hit me with such clarity and added a whole new dimension about why every person should be allowed the right to marry. Chuck and his partner were together for 50 years and when his partner died he was told he could not have his service flag for the funeral because he was not family. Well if 50 years together counts for nothing then what the hell is family??
If you get a chance to see this film don’t walk run and take everyone you can! Right now it is playing in small theaters here and there. I was lucky enough to see it on PBS. I don’t know if they will be playing it again but please check your listings. If it is watch! You will walk away feeling much richer for the experience!
I am including two youtube videos about this film. Just to give you a hint of its power.

ha! just trying to be First!! LOL
Oooooooooh! I did it!
Haven't watched the video's Yet!!
But, I will...I had a Great MIL!
My first MIL and I get along so much better now that we are not related by marriage.
off to watch the vid!
Good Morning Everyone..was fighting a flu bug yesterday.
LYNND: I have always believed love is love...and that's all that's important in the end. I haven't seen this movie, but will look for it. I just checked our PBS station's listings and didn't see it mentioned yet. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
BIRDEE: Congrats on ONE through FIVE mighty Chicken Owl!!
J/LIN: "You're a beauty..one in a million girl..." great picture. I'm just sorry I didn't get to guess.
Morning Glories!
Birdee got first! Yahoo!
I hope that this blog wets everyones Appetite to see this film!
I did forget to mention that the music throughout the film is fantastic!
Also Bob Lemon who speaks at the end of the second clip is a fantastic person who you can also look up on you tube under Bob Lemon. His story about how he has become a producer and distributor of this film is just as compelling.
Enjoy! Since I have seen the documentary every time I watch these clips I get teary eyed.
PS I did a search on Amazon and they carry the DVD and you might check your local library.
Maybe I will buy it so I can mail it out to you guys to watch and mail to the next person. If you are interested let me know and I will purchase it.
Zona: I have always believed love is love too. I have always believed that straight or gay you should be able to get married. This film just brought into focus in a caring and gentle way why we all should fight harder to make sure everyone has that right.
LynnD, Thanks for sharing this!
You know...just watching these Lovely people talking About the movie...brought tears to my eyes!
I hope all State's will make it possible for gay/lesbian's to get married. I've alway's believed thing's should be Equal!
Why should it matter Who you Love.....
xoxoxox
Lynn D:
I so owe you an apology, I forgot to let you know your blog would be posted this morning. So very sorry!
LYNND: I agree with you 100% and can't wait to see the movie.
Good morning CPGEM!
Good morning!
Congrats Birdee! Yay, first!
Hi Zona!
I have to watch the video clips once my caffeine kicks in and I can focus.
I never met my ex-husbands parents, they died way before we met.
Current husband has a great mom, we get along wonderfully. She lives in Sacramento, so not too far away.
We are trying to get her to move closer to us and she is considering it.
Huz's dad passed away a month after we started dating, so I never had the chance to meet him.
Our 3rd or 4th date was to his dads funeral service at Golden Gate cemetary. I didn't want him to go alone as it was a very small service. It was very touching and special.
The video sounds really good Lynn and I would love to see it. I will check our listings to see if it will be on tv.
I agree, love is love, no matter who it's between. I am so glad that this state has recognized that, and allow people to marry.
EBJ: Oh how I understand the need for caffeine!! Good morning to you!
Carol: It is fine. I was surprised when I got up this morning and checked the blog and it was up. There were zero comments, but I could not bring myself to comment first! LOL That just seemed a little arrogant to me. Ha ha I got first on my own blog! LMAO
So I waited until Birdee logged in.
Ok I am sucking down my coffee like the true junky I am. LOL
Birdee:
Congrats on First!
Waving at:
Lynn D, Birdee, Zona, Ebj, and all that follows my comment!
Tinka:
I sent you a e-mail, I am sorry I missed the one you sent me...
Lynn D:
I have had a couple issues on my mind, so I have consumed myself!
Also, last nite my internet service was wonky, And I just logged off without coming back here or myspace.
Thanks for understanding :O)
And I know how you feel with being first when its your blog :O)
Good Morning Birdee - Congratulations on being one through five. I am sorry I was not there to keep you company. I know how lonely it can get in the nest early in the morning.
Good Morning Zonababy - I am glad you are feeling better today. I was getting ready to send my physician in my private plane. (Boy do I ever live in a fantasy world).
Good Morning Lynn - I just loved your blog and your videos. I will comment more later.
Good Morning Carol and East Bay J - Hope you two are well today.
It took me an hour to warm up after I got home from my granddaughter's baseball game. It was so cold there. It went into overtime and Traci's team lost by one run. They are out of the playoffs now and I can't say I am sorry.
I have another busy day today. My friend Brian and my brother in law and I are taking Marie to lunch and then a tour of the city sights. After a short rest I will be off to my computer meeting. I can't miss this one because I am presenting one of my DVD's. I am running a little short of energy.
I will try and get back after my rest this afternoon and comment on the blog and see who the Beauty of the Day is. In case I don't see the picture in time I will guess Joey.
Have a great day everyone.
I have posted a pic of a amazing Owl, Guess Away!
Lynn truly wonderful!
I seriously doubt that my close minded small town will have this at the library.
However, I will definetly keep my eyes open on PBS.
Thank heavens for PBS, I've always liked that channel.
Oh, I'm not good at guessing the pictures.
However, I can tell it is another beauty and I love her flowers!

Happy Thursday!!!
Good Morning..
Birdee - congrats on first...
I see - Birdee, Birdee, Birdee, Birdee, Birdee, ZONA, Lynn D, Birdee, cpgem, EBJ, Tinka, and Iteach...
Good Morning all - I'm off to read Lynn's blog and see who today's owl is...
I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

I think that pretty gal is SHIRLEY!!
MEK: Hello sweet thang...ready for another hot one..day that is!! ;)
ITEACH: Good morning lovely lady!
Hey gang!
I think that beautiful lady is Shirley too!
Oh My I also have the quote of the day. My head is swelling! LMAO
YAY!!!! I know who today is! I know who today is!!!!
It's Shirley! And she looks exactly the same with that adorable smile!!!!
**waving frantically at shirley**
Lynn....I will have to keep a look-out for that movie. I said a few days ago that one of my friends from high school is finally going to be allowed to get married. That sounds so wrong. "allowed to get married" She's a freakin adult who is capapble of making her own decisions. It just blows my mind that there are still people out there in positions of power who are still so close-minded. But hopefully this will be a turn for the better.
All we need is love.....
Good morning/afternoon everyone (even though I woke up with a sore neck which is becoming a pain in the ass)!
Congrats on 1st Birdee!
Isn't it the right of every single person on this planet to have love in their lives? Who could deny people that? Yet there are a lot of close minded people that do. I hope this documentary wakes some people up. Good job Lynn D. Thanks for sharing.
Lynn - great blog today!!
Shirley - you are just adorable in your senior picture - thanks for sharing!!
I was violently ill in the middle of the night - think the cilantro in the salsa got me from the scary lunch yesterday!! SO - I'm not feeling very well........ I'm going to take it easy today..
so - I'll be back later...
hugs to all..
When we're free to love anyone we choose,
When this world's big enough for all different views,
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew,
Then we shall be free!
That's the song that popped into my head this morning as I read the blog and comments. :)
Lynn: Thanks for sharing the documentary with us!
I agree with Zona - our lovely Owl today is sweet Shirley!
MEK: Feel better {{Hugs}}.
Good day wishes for everyone!
YES - I see others are picking Shirley also - i wanted to guess before I read!!
Zona - YES, we are ready for another hot one - seems like that's all we are up for.. this weekend should hit 111..... YIKES..
Lynn - you could have been first on your own blog - i sure don't see a problem with that!!
Good Morning, Zona, Barb in WA and Shirley!!
I'm going to go lay down!!
Thanks, Amicus - you have a great day!!
Good Morning Owls!
Birdee~ Congrats on being first!
MEK~ Feel better soon. I have been sick this week with a cold and it just isn't fun to be sick--ever!
I am lucky enough to have a gem of a man, even though his parents are not quite the best inlaws. They could be worse, but my goodness we have had some times over the past 15 years. I think since I am Berry's second wife they were afraid to like me at first. You would think that after 15 years and 3 children they would try to be a little friendlier though. Berry says it could have something to do with the fact that I am taller than both of them, and it really intimidates his dad. Well, excuse me for not being short!
Today is the last day of school. My daughter cries every year on the last day....sobbs! She just doesn't get what the celebration is all about. Can you tell she is not in high school yet? HA!
A quick note. I just had an hour and a half nap and I feel better than I did when I woke up. We are leaving for Lunch in just a little over an hour.
I hope you know I was joking when I guessed Joey. I hadn't seen the picture yet. I will go with the others and say it is my friend Shirley. Lovely picture Shirley.
Be back late this afternoon.
PS...
I started posting on the RossBlog last June so I've been chatting with some of you for a year now, but I've rarely shared my real name. I think it's about time! :) Jersey Boys are singing it on my MS page. I still prefer to use Amicus here and in other public forums though. :)
Stopping in for my guess.
I think it's Lovely Shirley!!!!
Amicus, That sound's like a beautiful song. What is the title?
Tink, glad you feel better after your nap! xo
I just did my walk and added about 10 more mins to it. It's so nice to be outside!
Ok, off for some lunch and fresh fruit!!!! yummmmmmm!!!!
Have a great day Everyone!!!
xoxoxoxo
Great blog Lynn D. I have both friends and relatives who are gay. Yes, they no longer live in the area (as Iteach put it...this is a very close minded and may I add uneducated community)!
I have always been for gay marriage too. If someone is lucky enough to find their soul-mate, they they should also be allowed to marry them!
I also agree that they very pretty senior picture is Shirley too!

ROFL!!! Bad Birdee - go to your cage! ;)~
Hi Lynn --
Thanks for the great post about my movie. (Google alerts me when people write about it -- which is almost always nice to read.)
I really appreciate you spreading the word. Just to let you and your friends know, the film is being self-distributed. So you can buy it through my website or host a screening in your community (for pretty darn cheap) or work with me to get it into your local theatre.
Go to www.inlawsandoutlawsfilm.com for all the details.
If you live in the Seattle area, it's playing Sunday and Monday at Central Cinema. GREAT movie house where they served food and drinks at your seat -- and it's just $5. I'll be at all three shows. Check it out on my website.
Cheers -- thank you everybody for the very affirming comments about love! We need more of that, don't you think?
Drew Emery
WOW! Drew....welcome and thanks for coming to our little nest! I will for sure check out your website for more details about your movie!
Amicus (Sherry??? LOL!) I SO AGREE with what you posted! That's just so IT, in a nutshell!
These gay marriage rights, these rights to employment without fear of getting fired, these rights to adopt children, these rights to immigrate and get citizenship, are all HUMAN rights.
Our struggle is part and parcel of the broader struggle for blacks, women, EVERYBODY to be treated equally. Period.
Lynn D and all: Have you seen the older PBS show "If these walls could talk"? OMG! One of the segments features the amazing Vanessa Redgrave as the long-time live-in partner (i.e., spouse) of a women who dies in the 1950s, and then endures the dead woman's family very matter-of-factly taking all the possessions and kicking Vanessa out of the house.
The piece is just heart-breaking, not to mention full of the most exquisite ironies. The family of the woman who died aren't even evil... they're just reacting the way any family would back then to the presence of someone who was perceived to be simply an eccentric "friend" of the family member who died, as opposed to her spouse.
"Spouse"?? In the 1950's? What an absurd notion!
Powerful stuff, owls!
LynnD
Great blog. I have not seen the documentary film.
I feel that everyone should be able to be married Gay or straight. In High School my best friend Ron was Gay so for many years I have understood many things about life with an open mind.
Birdie
Congrats on #1, #2, #3, #4, & #5. I have always loved birds but you are by far the funniest of them all also. :0)
Amicus
I always wondered what your real name is. I talk about you sometimes here at home and I refer to you as the grooming lady. We both have a love and compassion for furbabies so you have stories that always stick in my head and I talk about them.
David used to be confused and he'd ask if I was speaking of an old school friend or a long lost cousin. Now he doesn't ask. He knows if I bring up certain names then those are my internet friends.
YAY! We have a guest in the Nest today. How exciting!!! :)
Hi Drew and welcome! Thank you for stopping by and sharing additional information about your documentary!
My pleasure entirely... I feel like a little chickadee among the owls -- but that ain't so bad.
Back to work for me. Everyone have a terrific day.
LYNN D - Great movie....I'm gonna try to see it!!! Love is love.....and I totally support gay marriage!! Thankfully I live very near Madison, WI......a pretty open minded city.
BIRDEE - Congrats on first!!! So great to see your chickenowl butt today!!!
ZONA - I'm glad you're feeling a bit better!!! Was starting to think that maybe TINA gave you her tricked out washing machine and you were just taking a ride!!! :P
Welcome DREW!!! We have a Sundance Theater in Madison, WI.....was wondering if maybe you've tried getting it played there?
SHIRLEY - What a great pic!!! I would recognize that beautiful smile anywhere!!!
Drew - WELCOME - thanks for stopping by!! HOW exciting!!
:-)
Hi Owls and Drew!
Well I am so floored I can't believe it! Who knew that Drew would come visit us?
I meant everyword I posted in the blog. This movie will change minds!
Drew I will certainly check out your website. Keep up your amazing and fantastic work!
Can't wait to see more film from you.
Just got back from taking the boys to the pool. Nice to have some quiet time for myself today!!!
I got the most AMAZING surprise this morning before I went to work. My home phone rang (mind you, it was about 2:30am....thankfully MR. JODI can't hardly hear his alarm, let alone a ringing phone!!!).....and guess who was calling me?!!? Our very own MARY/MI.....calling from Gay Paree!!!! She just wanted to say HI......she is having a fabulous time on her trip!!! She really enjoyed seeing the Colesium and Vatican City......she said that TINA'S pics are beautiful....but so much more breathtaking in person!!! A friend of her niece's is joining them and has her own laptop with her, so Mary is hoping to be able to logon here sometime soon!!! She just wanted me to post this for her til she got a chance.
Waving a wing at all of you who have participated so far today!
Birdee, MEK, Shirley, Carol, Amicus, BarbWA, Jodi, Zona, Whabby, Dreama, EBJ, Tinka, Iteach,Glynis, and Jennifer.
Will check back later I have errands to run!
Jodi -- I'll look up the Sundance and see what I can do. Haven't been to Madison yet but very much want to.
Welcome, Drew, and thanks for stopping in!! That's so cool! I'm going to look for the film in my area, for sure.
Lynn, great blog! I know all of us forward-thinking, sensitive, loving, caring, owls feel that anyone should be allowed to be married. Why can't everyone be like us???
Hey owls, do you think if I write a blog about Richard Gere he'll drop in??? LOL!!

Sorry, that was me that deleted those last two comments.
I know that Shirley is our owl today!! Shirley, what a cutie! You look so young--even younger than a senior!
Good Day Owls~~ And what a gorgeous day it is! With so much tragic 'Water, Water, Everywhere', I feel almost guilty enjoying the calm beauty of a late spring day in the PNW. Popping indoors for only a moment too late in the day for individual shout-outs, so "Howdy to All!!"
LynnD~~WONDERFUL BLOG! Being part of the 1 in every 2 'hetero' marriages ending in divorce, my mind is forever boggled at those who can look at the life-long healthy gay partner relationships and talk of how they threaten the "sanctity of marriage"...WTC??
Shirley~~You must be fibbing to us about your age...that beautiful face hasn't changed one bit!
Drew~~What a treat to have a welcome visitor to our nest today! Wish you all good things with your film. I'm forwarding your link to the Bijou here in (oh, so liberal) Eugene. I'd think they (if not already on board) would be a very welcoming venue.
Back out into the sunshine. Off to do my part to reduce 'food miles' by stocking up on berries and veggies from Thistledown Farms. See ya tonight!
Whabby: My mom always taught me to be on my best behavior when there's a guest in the house so I'm postponing your flogging until later tonight. ;)~
Dreama: I answer to "Grooming Lady" too. ;)
Sandie~~Just saw your post. Oh, PLEASE, PLEASE write that blog!! Had to scoot over to my MS profile to snag a new avatar...just in case it might help!
Drew:
I think that you should submit your film as an entry into the Hawaii Gay & Lesbian Film Festival for next year. Give me an email addy and I will contact the Director who is a good friend of mine. They sponsor the writers/directors trip if you speak at the Festival.
Thanks for the blog LynnD. In past relationships it has always been tricky making sure my partner was given the legal rights should something ever happen. Thankfully nothing ever did. It is ridiculous what we have to fight for sometimes.
ok back to work for a while.
Be back later....
Love it, Bon'O!!
Amicus, you've got MS mail . . .
Thanks for the tip bon'oregon!
Thanks for the idea kahunogrl!
I'm game for following up with theatres and festivals - though I'm a one-man operation so I can't keep up with this very happening blog space! ;-)
I encourage anyone who wants to either help and/or follow the film to go to our website and sign up for updates: www.inlawsandoutlawsfilm.com
You can also email me at campaign AT inlawsandoutlawsfilm.com
Thanks!
(On second thought, I don't think I'm a chickadee. More of an emu, actually.)
DREW - lol @ being more an emu!!! Hang out here all you want.....we are really quite fun!! Kudos to you for what you do!!! I'm sure that you have opened many peoples eyes. :D
Lynn D:
I loved your blog today! I so believe in love in anyway! Does not matter to me, as long as two people love each other, that is whats most important!
Thanks for writing it, and finding the vids to accompany it!
Kudos, Lynn!
Amicus:
Has it really been a yr, I remember when you first posted, so glad you did! And happy you are here at the nest! I never used my "real" name as well, until this blog, and then it happen, My life in word form! I think you guys know more about me than my own family!
:O)
Happy T.. Thursday Owls. I am being cryptic because we have a visitor and a celebrity at that. Welcome Drew.
LynnD: I will look for this film on our PBS schedule. I agree with all who said Love is Love no matter what. My Uncle and his partner have been together for over 35 years. They live in NY but I offered to throw a wedding if they want to come to CA to get married. Luckily for them, our family is all on board with having my Uncle's partner make decisions and all the things that a spouse would do and inherit, But I don't think his partner's family feel the same. So they need to get married so they can have all the same legal rights as the rest of us HUMANS!
Amicus: I remember you saying that you were named after the first hit for the Four Seasons. Even though you didn't name the song, I knew...
Barbwa: I meant to mention yesterday how I laughed at your new name for Lust Lin. Was that a Freudian typo or a conscious one?
I do believe that is our beautiful Shirley Owl today.
MEK: Feel better and rest today. Is Mr. MEK still sick too?
I have a visitor whom I haven't seen in about 2 years so we have a lot of catching up to do. (I am quickly typing this while she is in the bathroom). We are going out to lunch and I hope to get back to the nest later. Have a wonderful day all.
Drew:
Well hello, and welcome! So Glad you stopped by, I had no idea, that google could let you know when a blog or vid is posted that is about your documentary.
I have not watched your complete documentary as of yet, however I plan on looking for it!
Kudos to you Drew, and again thanks for stopping by!
Happy Thursday Everyone!!!
What a great Blog today Lynn, and a huge welcome to Drew for coming and joining the nest! A real live celebrity among us!!!
I don't know if I have mentioned it on this blog, but a few of you whom I email with, know about my sister in Iowa. She is 64 and her partner is my age, 58. They have been together for over 30 years.
My sister is of the "generation" where she won't openly talk about being a Lesbian, we just all somehow "secretly" know! LOL The closest she has come to openly talking about her relationship, was this year when she sent Laurie a "get-well" gift and signed it "from your Two aunts" (she actually signed their names, but out of respect for her I will not mention their names)
I want so much to talk to her about her feelings etc., but it is taboo to her to do that. So, I just go about emailing, calling on the phone etc. and always say HI to her partner. It is very odd. I do not know what her feelings are about Gay marriage, whether she is satisfied with just being with her partner, or if she would like to legalize it somehow.
I do know I love her very much, and whatever makes her happy, is what I want for her also.
Whabby~ October 4th will be a glorious day for you and Huz! My best wishes and love to both of you!
Since I have never seen any actual pictures of Shirley, I have nothing to go on, except all of your guesses, so I will go with the majority (this time!) and vote for Sweet Shirley, Queen of the Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner feasts, as our Beautiful Grad of the Day! Love ya, girlfriend!
GOOD NEWS~ We finally have an actual date for Laurie's last MRI at UCSF! Monday, July 7th. I have made sure that they will be prepared this time with an anesthesiologist, and there will be no last minute mistakes!
BAD NEWS~ She is still sick with this awful stomach virus. After an ER visit Sunday night, where they did more blood tests, XRAYS etc. we still don't know what is causing this. She has been tested for every kind of infection imaginable, and everything comes up negative.
I am wondering if it is stress/anxiety related due to the fact of her upcoming surgery. I emailed her Dr again today and mentioned this.
We have tried to be as open and honest with her about the surgery, only being positive, but, you can never tell with Laurie what is going on inside. She could be holding all her feelings in, and that is causing this irritable stomach. We are both getting very worn out, not getting much sleep. I hope her Dr gets back soon with some answers. I am willing to go to Behavior Medicine with her if the need arises. I must get to the bottom of this and deal with it!
So sorry for the usual novel. I am so glad that you all put up with me!
Love to all, DJ
Mek:
Hope you are feeling better!
Sacbarb:
Enjoy your lunch!
Hi All and hello to the visiting chickadee!
I am not feeling very well so I am going to lie down. I had a really rotten migraine headache day. I wanted to stop by and say how great the blog was. Changes are happening and people are understanding that family is important..IN ALL FORMS! :)
I hope everyone has a great day.
Bebbi
Donna Jean:
I am so sorry Laurie is still not feeling well, Geez this really has been going on for quite some time now. My thoughts are with you, in hopes Laurie feels better soon!
Always keep us posted!
I have linked to some blogs on the main page of the nest, its under Blog Lists. If anyone has a favorite blog they want to share just let me know and I will put up the link.
The pics are also there, its my flickr account, just click on it and you will see all the graduating owls!
The Hit da Wall blog is my nephews, its just a take on how celebrities change over the years.
Maureen and Sandie's blogs are there as well...
Sandie:
Love your avatar! I love me so Richard Gere! And yes write the blog...lol ;o)
Bebbi:
Hopefully the nap will help,feel better!
Hey Birdee! Congrats on first today.
I know that today's cutie patootie is our one and only Shirley!
LynnD LOL that you didn't want to be first when it was your blog. Wonderful job, by the way.
Love is precious and should be honored and cherished wherever it is found. I don't understand the folks that think that gay marriage will somehow undermine or devalue their heterosexual marriage. I really don't understand that line of thinking at all.
Drew How nice that you dropped in. Wonderful job on the documentary.
I don't think I have ever marched before. I think I will try it.

Just_Lin:

And thanks for the kind words for Laurie, they mean alot!
Donna Jean:
Sometimes the simplest things in life are fun!
And, you are welcome, I am very glad you give us your novels! :O)
DONNA JEAN - Nice march!!! You're no longer a marching virgin. :P I hope the dr gets back to you about Laurie.....((((HUGS)))) to you and her!!!
Good Evening Everyone!
Hello to DREW! I'll be looking for your documentory also and spreading the word for other's to watch it.
Amicus!!!! Love the song and your Name! Now, Please! Can I be let out of my cage?!! LOL
Carol, the pic of you and your Goddaughter...Beautiful! So cute.
DonnaJean, I hope Laurie is feeling better soon. Sorry they can't figure out what is causing her pain.
Mek, Hope you're feeling better too!
Jodi!!! I thought for sure I at least covered up my Butt today!
Thanks for letting me know it was hanging out there!
Well, off to relax for a bit. I'll try and stop back in later..unless my chickenowl butt get's really lazy. But, hey..if I'm not back, it just means my butt is hanging out Again!! Privacy People!!! No Peeking!! LOL
xoxoxox
OH! Just Lin, I love the picture!
Thanks for putting that up!
xoxoxox
BIRDEE - I luv your chickenowl butt.....cover up if you must, though!!! :P
Birdee:
If we let you out of your cage, havoc will ensue, as you cannot be trusted!
And, please keep your chickenowl butt covered, I believe depends will work :O)
Jodi:
Every time I see that pic with your tassels I crack up! So funny...
Thanks, Carol, Birdee and Jodi!
Off now to take a nap, that March TOTALLY wiped me out! Don't know how you gals do it so late at night!
Till later, DJ
Birdee:
Your pic is cute to, you have on a body glove! Which is a good thing, as private parts on chickenowls are just not fun to look at!
:O)
Donna Jean:
Enjoy your nap, and enjoy the rest of your day!
LOL I forgot I was still wearing my gloves today!
DonnaJean Whoo Hoo!!!! Great march! I love your novels. ((Hugs)) to you and Laurie Elizabeth.
Ok, had to come back...just knew you would make comments on my chickenowl Butt!!!
Carol!!!! Since Jodi doesn't mind it and it Is Summer...well, I just might have to take this glove off and strut around here BUTT NEKKID!!!!
Maybe then you all wouldn't cage my ass up all the time! Cuz....I'm thinking you owls may not want to handle a nekkid chickenowl!
And No using NET'S either, that just wouldn't be right!
LOL
Hi owls I am back from errands and I just checked out Drew's website! Very Cool!
Next week I am going to order a 5 pack of the DVD's from him.
When they get here I am keeping one and the other four I will gladly start a list to send to the owls for viewing. The only stiputlation is if you want to participate you will have to send your copy to the next owl on the list.
I will let you know when they arrive and we will start a sign up sheet!
Hope this sounds good! Let me know via MS if you are interested.
I am just amazed that I blogged about something that was wonderful and touching to me and so many of you have reached out to Drew with ideas and support!
This whole day has just blown me away!
Birdee:
If you strut around half Nekkid, I truly think for the first time you will clear out the Nest!
Nets might not be allowed, however a hook will work perfect :O)
Lynn D:
I know, I felt the same, blogging is a amazing thing!
Lynn D:
And, yes I will participate, Just let me know when my turn is...
sacbarb....calling Just_Lin Lust_Lin was a total slip. But I saw it before I posted and could have fixed it. I just thought it was to funny of a slip to not share!
Lynn, I'm in...
and y'all might want to visit Birdee's MS to see what we're in for if we let her in here nekkid!
LynnD:
I was going to do the same thing and order the 5 pack, but I am gonna keep one and pass the other 4forward with the stipulation that whoever I pass it to pays it forward and enlightens others.
Oh and I say let the Bird get nekkid..... 8)
gotta post and run...but I wanted to "guess" Shirley~ :D
I knew there was a reason I was still wearing gloves today. It's to catch the nekkid Birdee! LOL
BBL

TURTLE - Please pass one on to me.....I would gladly pay it forward!!!
Amazing Owl has been revealed
Mek:
Are you feeling better?
Yay! I love you guys!
My goal is to get all the owls to see it! Kind of like our own Owlflicks!
Kgirl I love that Idea! I was going to get my copy watch it again and pass it along to all my friends and family to watch.
Birdee is nakey??? LOL I see feathers everywhere!
MEK Sorry you don't feel well!

I must agree with everyone, that lovely young lady is our Shirley!
Mek:
Are you just counting? Perhaps I should buy you flash cards with numbers on them... :O)
Had to go try to eat something..
I am feeling better - I think it was a good thing that I got sick "from the tip of my toes" last night - or I would have been hurting worse!! I never have to eat at that place again - heck, and I only had the chips and salsa- don't think the tiny slice of watermelon had anything to do with it - or it could have been the beet juice on my little pile of carrots........ cuz, God Knows, i did not eat any of the "weeds" that were in the bowl!! :-)
Mr. MEK got a chicken from the grocery store - so I ate a little bit of that just now!! crossing fingers that it stays down!!
:-)
someone asked how he was feeling - he's fine - he figured his sickness was "motion" from his flight -
cpgem - LMAO - flash cards would be good!!
I just let you know - I had to go eat - Mr. Mek had dinner ready!!
;-)
but - I'll just keep counting, if you want me too!!!
Shirley - YEAH, I finally got one right!!! Thanks for sharing...
135
pfffftttt! Excuuuuse meeeee!
Had a feather in my mouth!
Mek:
If you are too weak to type out comments! (which you just did). Then
you should continue to count, as that does not take to much energy!
Oh Boy, perhaps it was the beet juice, as I know that would make me hurl..
:O)
Mek, chicken is alway's good for ya!
But, I really wish you HOwl's would
eat "The Other White Meat"!
ha!
Birdee:
Don't you dare get Nekkid, Mek is sick and you will only make her sicker!
Birdee:
The other white meat is Maureen, and to perfectly honest, I would rather eat you! As Maureen does not cause trouble!
LOL!
Seriously Mek, I hope you feel better and can keep some food down!
((((((HUGS))))))
Hey, Mo has been known to be naughty on occasion!
Thank you Zona, Barbara, Amicus, Mek, Tinka, Birdee, Jennifer, Jodi, Sandie, Bon'O, Sacbarb, Donna Jean, Just lin, Tina, Ebl, Carol and anyone I might have missed for the comments on my picture. It was taken 27 years ago.
I thought the long hair and lack of grey might stump you a little longer than it did. You guys are quick! Lol!
Birdee:
Yes perhaps, but you said it on occasion!
You are a daily chickenowl criminal!
Mek:
Are you done counting?
Birdee and cpgem - okay - here's the funny thing - I had taken "the other white meat" out of the freezer to have for dinner - for Mr. MEK to grill outside - he knew that I wasn't feeling well, so stopped and got the chicken, so that i wouldn't have to cook!!
SO -the other white meat will be tomorrow night's meal!!!
and YES, who grates up beets on a salad.... YUCK!!!!!!! I tell ya, this salad had things in it - I have NEVER seen!!! I should have known!! Upscale - NOT!!!
Shirley:
You have not change a bit! As I said Beauty In and Out!
BTW,
Got any snacks up your sleeve? Oh wait and maybe some Pepto for MEK...
cpgem - I am NEVER done counting. and Birdee's feathers are blocking my view of the flashcards!

There - I can be done for a little while now!!
LOL
Mek:
LOL... Birdee's freakin feathers are all over the place...
Geez....
MEK I really hope you are feeling well now, but in case you have to vomit again, would you please do it on the naughty mat for easier clean up?
Just Lin - I will make sure that I make it into the bathroom - so, no worries!!
:-)

Shirley - thanks for the ginger ale - I think I will pass on the chips and salsa though - that's what started this whole thing!!
LOL
cpgem - thanks for the can of beets - if you only knew how much I really don't like them..
my mom likes to tell the story - when I was a baby - she had all those little jars of baby food and was introducing me to different "tastes" - and no matter HOW many times she tried to feed me beets - i ALWAYS spit them out at her....... so - nothing has changed!!
Cracking me up!
Mek, Very nice of Mr. Mek to let the cooking gig go for tonight!
Besides, chicken is a bit easier on the tummy!
Sorry Mo!!
OMG!!!
Carol, I just saw my new pic! LOL
Shirley:
Thanks for the snacks, and I will eat Mek's Chips and Salsa! As they say "more for me"
Mek:
I like beets, just not beet juice!
:O)
OH SHIT, BIRDEE IS REALLY NEKKID!!!
LYNND: I would love to be on that list.
SHIRLEY: Smiles never change, and you have an absolutely beautiful one.
TINKA: Guess what? Your private plane landed and your doctor was on his way. Since I'm better, I sent him down to MEK, is that ok?
BIRDEE: I'm going to have a bacon chicken sandwich for dinner...I always like to be fair. ;)
WELCOME DREW!! Can't wait to see the entire documentary.
DONNAJ: Hoping for only the best for your Laurie.
WHABBEAR: I saw "If These Walls Could Talk"...the only thing she took away was a small bird figurine..wasn't it?? She had to fight to get that. Powerful show.
JODI: OMG..how did you know?? One too many rides I guess...;)
BEBBI: Hope you migraine is gone.
SACBARB: How is your evening going?? Just want you to know, Mr Z is eternally grateful for your advice.
TINA: How do I stop this crazy washer anyway?? Oh and thanks for all the wake-up laughs today...;)
BON'O: Geez..that avatar almost looks like my brother..you scared me!!! ;)
Eeeewwwww! Birdee, you're scaring me!
Shirley Thank you for the snacks. I'll have a Pepsi and some chips and salsa.
Shirley, Thanks.
I'm gonna grab some pretzels and beer!
Carol, At least I'm Pink! Maybe Tink will like me.
Just Lin, Freaky!!! HUH?
167
169
Birdee:
You pink cause you got skinned, and had to much sun! So I would call that "sunburn" .... To Funny!!!
I'm going to try and stick around tonight but......everytime I want to use the back button to go MS or somewhere...Yahoo is making me sign in and then saying my passwords are no good.
Mr B does not know what Yahoo's problem is!! This should not be happening! grrrrrrrrrrrr!!
And Turtle make the touchdown with her favorite number 169! Congrats Turtle!
And
Birdee is nekkid, you asked and you shall receive!
Guess my sunscreen wasn't strong enough.
Carol:
Did you say that you would gladly eat Maureen before Birdee?? lmao
See, thats the problem with chickenowls, they don't know the difference between a 3 and a 30 when it comes to sunscreen...
You probably used a 3, and should have used a 30...
Who the hell skinned me anyway?!
I was only showing a little butt earlier!
Somebody did some plucking when I tried to rest???
Turtle, LMAO too
I'm bringing in Foghorn Leghorn to help catch the nekkid chickenowl/rooster.
Turtle:
No, Actually I would rather eat Birdee, because, she is nothing but trouble. Look she is running around nekkid!!!
carol:
nevermind, that plane went right over your cute lil head...lol
Birdee:
Turtle did, she requested that you get Nekkid!
J/L LOL
But, make sure Foghorn doesn't get any idea's. I think I have a headache.
Turtle:
Well then, I will eat them both!
Plane over my head...LMAO...
Turtle, Zooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm
Birdee I can't vouch for Foghorn. After all, you are running around nekkid.
Turtle I caught the plane. LOL
Hey Zona! Nice to see ya!
Birdee:
Headache...LMAO..Oh my, to funny!
zoom zooom zooom.......rotfl

Last attempt.

Hi to all you beautiful birds and assorted ho's! I have been think of all of you.
~
I saw that cpgem8 went over the river and through the woods to shout out b-day wishes to LL ( and she said 'hi' to me, thank you very much *muah*), so feeling adventurous, I decided to do the same.:)
~
I got my tallest ladder and hauled my butt up all these rungs to get to your nest. (Clearly, I do not have my wings yet) Man, ya'll are really high up here! ( no pun intended;)
~
So, a {{HUG}} to all that have been here today, and 'HI HI' to:
(forgive me if I miss anyone, blame it on lack of 02 at this height)

I started to read your blog Lynn D until I saw that you used the word 'marriage' and I got frightened away! 8-O ( I am sure it was great though!)
~
Who is that beautiful graduate up there? Hmmm....looks like Crystal Gayle to me! I didn't know she blogged here.
~
XOXO TO ALL OWLS!

*climbing down the rungs, trying to get more oxygen intake*

Let's see if this works?
Carol I went to your Flickr site. What beautiful blue eyes you have! I missed the start of the senior photos. Who is the first one on the site?
Carol, I may need that hook you were going to use to catch me. If foghorn get's any idea's, I'll have to poke his arse.
Hey there jigglin! Be sure to climb down slowly, unless you want a nekkid chickenHOwl picking ya up off the ground.
'thinking of'.....sextuple damn :-P
Hey Jigglin Good to see you. If you're still logged on, go to the blog page and bookmark it. That way you come straight there. If I had to go through the Blogger dashboard thing every time, I'd be screwed.
Turtle:
No, but I will keep you posted!
Jax:
I really like Lois Lane, I have know her for a while now, and have read some of her stories. I just wanted to wish her a Happy Birthday, and I could not be there without saying Hi to you!
Loved your shout outs...
Zona:
Where the heck did you go! Did you go get nekkid too? Or is that the plumbers job...
Just_Lin:
The first photo is Bon! Pretty!
and
Thanks ♥♥
OH WE ARE MARCHING...
SHIT WHO KICKED ME....
OUCH..LIMP..LIMP...LIMP...
CRAP...I MISSED IT...
Birdee's skinless body ran over me!
YUCK!!!
