Shirley:
Congrats on First, ♪♪ Happy Dance for you ♪♪

night.owls.sb said...

Jodi:
I loved Ernestine, and of course Lily Tomlin, Great Clip, Thanks for taking the time to find it. I appreciate it so....

night.owls.sb said...

So, I am off, I am going to Las Vegas, my flight leaves tonite. I am very excited, and so looking forward to spending time with my SSO as well.

We are just going to relax as we both work very hard, so we did not plan anything. Except "Cher" seeing her on Sunday the 7th.

I am going to miss you all, I will be completely computerless..

And here is the secret, I am nervous leaving my parents, I hope they will be ok. Shhh.. Don't tell anyone :O)

night.owls.sb said...

I am at work, as I am putting in a 1/2 day. Gotta do what ya gotta do...


Hope all has a good week!
♥♥♥

Maureen
My heartfelt thanks for looking after the blog! I appreciate it so, and I am sure all these crazy owls do as well. I left Jo Jo on the main page of the blog, as you might need help, I also left a cage, just in case, you have the key ;o)

night.owls.sb said...

Hart:
Sorry, I forgot to say Hello...

night.owls.sb said...

Ok, off to start my day!

:O)

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Shirley got first! LOL Love the dancing!

Jodi I to am a Lily Tomlin fan! Remember Edith Ann? She has such a quick wit but is another of those artists that hits you with a joke and you have to pause and think about it! Love that!

Waving at Hart and Carol!

Carol have a wonderful trip and lucky you, you get to see Cher!

Will be back this afternoon! Waving at all those who fly in later.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

**waving madly**
Hi Carol!!! I'm up here on the top branch.
**still waving madly**

You will have an awesome time at the Cher concert! I am soooo jealous!

Geez there is quite a nice view from up here. I can see everything. Hey I wonder what that guy is doing over there in the window?
Hmmmmm.
**picks up binoculars**
Ohhhhhhh! Nice!! He works out!

hartldo said...

Have a wonderful time in Vegas, Carol!!!

Hi Lynn!

I'm heading back to work now.

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters! Congrats on 1st Shirley!!

Jodi- another Lily Tomlin fan here. I loved her on West Wing too- she has a way about her that is great.

By the by- are we on for Friday Jodi???????????????????????????

Carol- HAVE AN AWESOME TIME! No worries, just relax and enjoy. Mom and Dad will be fine, you will come back and see that you worried for nothing.

Good morning hart and lynn.

Hope everyone has a good day!

goldie said...

Shirely, there are laws about peeping.... (tell me if you see something good)

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Where are my manners?

Good morning Hartldo, Lynn D and Goldie!

Hopefully this afternoon I will decide on the frames for my glasses. Wish me luck!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Goldie I never peep and tell!

whabbear said...

Good morning, Shirley, Hart, and Goldie!

Carol: Have a wonderful time on your vacation! Where are you staying in Vegas? Is SSO going to do Cher drag for the concert?

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Zona-my-Baby- I see you wrote another blog.

Tinkatia said...

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Shirley - Congrats on first.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Donna, Carol, Lynn, Goldie and Whabbear.

I will feed my babies and be right back to read Zona's blog.

whabbear said...

Hello, Lynn D, Tinka, and Zona!

Tinkatia said...

This isn't my week. I woke yesterday to a leaking water cooler dispenser. This morning I wake to a linking kitchen sink. I wonder what the third thing will be?

I will read the blog and comments and that will cheer me up.

Tinkatia said...

Tinkatia said...

I see my eye sight is going too. I thought the blog was written by Zona. Now I look carefully and it was written for Zona by Jodi.

Jodi - I am so sorry for that mistake. I am going to read YOUR blog now.

whabbear said...

Tink: Hugs! What's with this gremlin in your kitchen???

Tinkatia said...

Jodi - That really cheered me up. It took me back to 1968 when we got our first colour television. We couldn't wait for "Laugh-In" to come on. We knew the colours would be spectacular and they were. Lily Tomlin was so funny and so was the rest of the cast. I had a 3 year old and a baby that year so after they were settled into bed we would enjoy "Laugh-In" I loved Goldie Hawn and still do. She has aged so well. Thanks Jodi for the memories.

Whabbear - I don't know what gremlins are in my kitchen but I know things happen in threes so I am just waiting.

Tinkatia said...

Shirley - Did you put your Happy Dance on U-Tube? I would love to see it.

No, Zona has a low sexy voice on the phone.

Carol - Have fun in Vegas. I would love to be there. Vegas is so much fun.

Tinkatia said...

Bear - Thanks for the hug. I needed it this morning. I will have breakfast, take everything out from under the sink and call the repair man. I will be back this afternoon.
Hi to all owls who fly in after I fly out.

Tinkatia said...

I forgot to say I uploaded 3 pictures of the winning entries from the Fair. My daughter sent them to me. I didn't find all the entries. The family ended up with 16, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. ribbons plus 4 "Well Done" ribbons. They are very pleased with their efforts this year. I think they are already planning what they will enter and how they will present their entries for next year.

Happy Wednesday..

Good morning... Shirley (congrats on FIRST), hart, Cpgem (have an excellent time in Vegas), Lynn D, Goldie, Whabby, Tinka (sorry to hear about all the leaks) and anyone else that lands!!

Jodi - I triple love Ernestine!! thanks for sharing that clip with us today!!

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

sacBarb said...

Happy Hump day Owls.

Jodi, Thanks so much for finding that clip. We loved Laugh-In and never missed it. I even remember that clip. Lilly Tomlin is a hoot and I also loved Edith Ann in the big rocking chair, and that's the truth!

Shirley, congrats on #1. Be careful that you don't get caught 'peeping'

Good morning to LynnD, Goldie, Bear, Tinka, MEK, and all who land later.

scirish said...

Carol...Yay, you get to go to Vegas AND see Cher...but what is an SSO? I know it's not the Social Security Office and it has too many S's for Significant Other...Sometime Significant Other maybe?

sacBarb said...

Carol, I'm sorry, I left you out. I hope you have a great time in LV and I am so jealous that you get to see Cher. Your parents will be just fine while you are gone. I'm sure you have all your other relatives on a schedule to check in on them. Don't worry about the blog either. Mo, will take good care of us.

scirish said...

Congrats on first Shirley...Do we get to see your new frames?

Hello to all the other owls in the nest!

sacBarb said...

Hi Scirish, We were typing at the same time. I hope your back is better. How is your Mother settling in her new home?

Donna Jean said...

Good Morning Everyone! Happy Wednesday too!

Waving a wing to all who posted so early this morning!
SHIRLEY
DONNA JO
CAROL
LYNN D
GOLDIE
WHABBEAR
TINKA
MEK
SACBARB
SCIRISH

SHIRLEY~ Congrats on #1!!

CAROL~What no lovely ocean breezes this time? Just the God-Awful heat of Vegas?? Well, at least everything is A/C!

Don't lose your shirt, LOL!!! But if you do, send pictures!

Relax, Mom & Dad will be fine. Don't worry. And how very awesome to see Cher! I saw her (and Sonny,too)at the Hollywood Bowl when they were so young, (so was I) wearing the standard bell bottoms and Bobcat Vest! She is so talented, I just LOVE her! My friend from LA, Angela, and I are planning a trip to Vegas also to see her, but not until next year. Have fun!!! HAPPY VACATION!

Thanks JODI for the wonderful clip from Laugh-IN. That show was so ahead of its time! I was just a teenager, and did not really understand all the relevance of the jokes, but now when I go back and watch re-runs, it just cracks me up even more!!! That, plus the old Smothers Brother's show, wow, THOSE were the shows to watch!!

TINKA~ I am so sorry to hear about all of your leaking problems! It is very frustrating when all those things happen at once. I hope the repairman knows what he is doing. Maybe you should call a real Plumber, even though they are more expensive. I had a "handyman" in, who said he knew how to put in my new kitchen sink, and he totally screwed everything up, and it took him over 8 hours (@$50 bucks an hr) to do what a Plumber could have done in about 2. Plus Home Depot said they would have installed it for only $200 since I bought it there! So, please be careful as to who you hire. Hope the rest of your day goes better, and no more problems!

Have a great day all, I'll check back in later to see if anyone has been sent to the naughty mat yet! My guess will be SHIRLEY, first!!!

Peace and Love, Donna Jean

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Scirish - I hope you have the pain under control.

Good Morning SacBarb and Mek.

There really are gremlins Bear, playful ones, because the leak has now stopped. I don't know how long to wait. Maybe there isn't a problem. I don't want to call the plumber just to have a visit with him.

whabbear said...

DonnaJean: That's funny. I thought Tinkatia was past menopause!

Tina~in_ut said...

Carol~ I'm running....to work....Have a fabu time in Vegas~ I'll try not to call or show up! :)~

Bebbilane said...

Way to go Shirleycakes! Congrats on first!!

Carol, we will miss you!! Have a great time and take lots of pics of CHER!! OMG! How cool!! I saw her in concert and she is the BEST EVER!!

Hi Tink, Hart, Whabby, LynnD, Tina, DJ and anyone I may have missed! I hope everyone has a terrific day. I am on lunch break and heading back to work soon. Take care!!

Sandie said...

Jodi, thanks for the laughs this morning! **snort snort**

Shirley, yea! First!!

Carol, have a wonderful, wonderful time!! Your parents will be fine and are probably so glad to see you take a break and have fun!! Don't worry one minute about us. Jo Jo will help Mo keep us in line. Well, keep Shirley in line.

From area 51: sacbarb and iteach, I haven't read either of those books but have added them to my list! Thanks!

Hello everyone! I have to run so I can't name you all--have a great day!

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Donna Jean - Thanks for the advice. I did come to that conclusion about plumbing a while ago. I have always had a 'handy man' but my last job was done by a real plumber. My daughter has learned that too. They just had a repair done that cost $4000 but it was done in 2 days. It would have taken the family a week of digging and finding pipes etc. Experienced plumbers are expensive but worth it.

Bear - You are a Hoot!!!!!

Good Morning Bebbi, Sandi and Tina. Have a great day.

SHIRLEY - Congrats on first....and no, I agree with TINKA, ZONA has one sexy voice!!!

CAROL - Enjoy your trip!!! Luv U.....SWAK!!!

GOLDIE - Friday works for me....and I sooooooooooo need a drink!!! I'll call you later tonight.

ZONA - I hope you really enjoy the clip today.....when I found one with her on the phone with Frank....I knew that this was THE ONE FOR YOU!!!

Jodi said...

TINA - Have fun @ work!!! I don't know how I missed you when I was waving......I know FREAKIN' IDIOT!!!

goldie said...

Hey Jodi is going to call me!! I better turn my phone on......;)

Just got back from the dr. office and for whatever reason I decided to come back to work. No one here but me. What the hell was I thinking??? Dumb ass. But am going to leave early - just because I was so nice as to come back at all.

I just went to MS and I couldn't get in- told me my profile was under routine maintanence. Hmm, what is Tom doing in there I wonder... sneaky little boy.

Zona said...

Good Afternoon Everyone!!

CPGEM: Have a wonderful time! Let yourself go, cuz remember...what happens in Vegas STAYS in Vegas!!

LYNND: "My name is Edith Ann and I'm five years old...thppppttt" I loved that too. Do you remember the cheerleader?? Funny Stuff!

GOLDIE: LOL @ 'tell me if you see something good...' hee hee... ;)

TINKA: We all loved Laugh-In here too. My dad would laugh til he almost fell off of the chair...such great memories. I have the DVD's "The Best Of Laugh-in"..and ya know it never gets old!

I also loved Lily Tomlin in "9 to 5" what a great movie. Skinny and Sweet...lol...

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Well, who knew picking out glasses would be so hard. But I finally decided on a pair. Don't ask me what they look like cause I tried on so many I'm not sure. They are sort of straight on the top...I think. I'm pretty sure they were brown...but they may be black. There is some kind of spring things on the arms cause apparently I have a big head.(must be all that brain matter). And did you know that some people have one ear higher than the other? I know, neither did I but apparently I am one of those people. Anyway I will get the glasses in about two weeks and if I can get someone to take a picture of me I will post it on myspace for y'all to see.

Jodi said...

ZONA - Luv 9 to 5!!! Especially the scene where they are having their little fantasies!!!

SHIRLEY - I know the pain of picking out glasses!! Can't wait to see pics. :D

goldie said...

My phone was on! Can't wait for the drink(s) Jodi.

shirley- I know the pain of picking them out too. Can't wait to see them.

Ok, I'm taking Zona's advice and leaving now. See you all later....

Jodi said...

GOLDIE - Can't wait for Pedros!!! Pedros, Pedros.....making MEX-I-CAN!!! Margaritaville....here I come!!!

Zona said...

Came back and re-read the posts..and wanted to wave and say Hi to BEAR, HART, DONNA JEAN (so jealous you got to see Sonny and Cher) and BEBBI!

Tina~in_ut said...

oh cute~ Carol is enroute...I love it when someone I know is traveling~ Just wish I were the one traveling~ ETA 5 minutes early!!!

Shirley~ congrats on first and the new glasses...can't wait to see them~

Tinka~ Zona has the sexiest voice ever!

Jodi~ the snorter! lol~ not a freaking idiot!!.....today~ :)~ Loved the blog....Lily just makes me laugh~

Zona~ of course I mean it! 19 huh?

Tina~in_ut said...

finally have time to breath at work~

Tina~in_ut said...

so nice to be able to relax~

Tina~in_ut said...

maybe i'll read~

Tina~in_ut said...

Tina~in_ut said...

Tina~in_ut said...

oh baby~

Tina~in_ut said...

Tina~in_ut said...

ahhhhhhhhhhh~ i need a cigarette~

goldie said...

Hi! have to change my avatar- back in a minute...

goldie said...

Look what I got in the mail today!!

A huge thank you and big hugs go out to: Sacbarb
MEK
Judy
Donna Jean & Miss Laurie
Mary/MI and Raquel

I love it and appreciate you thinking of me and my birthday. It just made my day!!

Tina~in_ut said...

OMG Goldie...that is hilarious~

goldie said...

tina- I just busted out laughing when I opened it! Way too funny. Just my size too....

Tina~in_ut said...

You "busted" out? WOW!!! Does that mean you are bigger? Magic....I want some~ :D

Jodi said...

GOLDIE - PERFECT accessories for our lunch date on Friday!!! :P

TINA - lol @ magic!!

Tina~in_ut said...

Jodi~ take pictures.....that should be awesome~

Dianne/Denver said...

Hi All.....not much going on around here besides a dr appt and grocery shopping. It really feels like fall today and that I LOVE!!

Good blog JODI. I always enjoyed Laugh In but I didn't watch re-runs. I am old enough to have watched the real thing! We sat near Lily Tomlin at a casino coffee shop in Vegas a few years ago.

I would be excited to see Cher too. I would like to see Bette Midler also and I did get to see Celine two years ago and that was great!

TINA: Are you working new hours now? What time do you get off?

ZONA: You had better enjoy that swimming pool while you still can!!

I can't wait to see your new glasses, SHIRLEY. It is very hard to pick out glasses and sometimes I think they are too small for my face so I have even a harder time. Oh yes, and I also want the kind that make me look ten years younger...I don't ask much, do I?

Dianne/Denver said...

GOLDIE: What color are those tassels? I can't really tell on my computer. I can see you now at the Mexican restaurant on Friday...swinging to the left and swinging to the right. I would say to let JODY try them too but I don't know if that is the correct thing to do or would it be like sharing underwear....ewwww!

Tinkatia said...

goldie said...

dianne - they are a lovely red. I would share with jodi but I don't think they are big enough for her....

Ah yes, margaritas getting tossed back and tassles get swung around- perfect lunch!

Tina~in_ut said...

Dianne_tasseling_in_Denver~ I work at 12:30pm now but had to count the $$$ at church this morning~ I'm off at 11pm~ Honey...the reason Jodi doesn't try the tassels on and swing, is because she'd get a black eye and so would anyone near her! duh!!!!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Well geez Dianne-too-late-in-Denver...you could have told me yesterday that I could get glasses that make me look ten years younger! The friend that took me said the glasses went well with my "colors". I said "you mean my grey hair?" and she nodded.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

**sniffle...sniffle**
I miss Carol.
**sniffle..snort...sniffle**

goldie said...

yeah- and I am not going to have my eye put out by that women! It's enough to sit across from her and have to stare at those babies...LOL

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Goldie were are the brownies? The fridge is full of jello shots and the downstairs freezer is full of slush. Someone keep an eye out for Maureen. She has that damn bird cage Carol gave her.

Tinkatia said...

Well, I have had a good day. So far, the leaking sink has turned out to be nothing. I have had a good nap, a good talk with Zona and a good walk in the warm sunshine with my babies.. Life looks great today.

Jodi - Thanks for the 'blonde comment'. That is so much nicer than thinking I did it was because of 'old-timers'.

Zona - I loved the movie "9 to 5" too. I think I will watch it tonight. I can't wait until "Grey's Anatomy" Season 4 comes out.

Shirley - I also can't wait until I see a picture of you in your new glasses. I'll bet it's cute.

Tina - That's 3 of us that think Zona has a sexy voice: it must be true. I see you had to go for the 69 again. Do I hear the word "addiction"?

Dianne - I would have love to have seen Celine. That is one of my life's disappointments. I know Cher and Bette are great too but it was Celine I was hoping to see.

I am busy making lavender sachets and feeling like a pioneer lady or at least like my ex mother-in-law. She did it every year. We have so much lavender here.

VIG - I hope you made it to your meeting. Check in if you can. Hurry home.

Back to the lavender. I feel a sneezing session coming on.

Tinkatia said...

Why do I get the idea all the owls are drinking now the Carol is gone? Well they say, "When the cat's away the mice will play".

Carol - I didn't mean to call you a cat - a little kitty maybe but not a cat.

goldie said...

*slaving away making brownies*

goldie said...

I love lavender, could you sprinkle some on in the nest Tink?

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

**Ok Goldie is busy with the brownies. The rest must be drinking the jello shots and slush. Good time to sneak the strippers in.**

(whispering) Shhhhh! Ok guys keep it down and follow me.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

No body today has mentioned the movie "All Of Me" with Lily Tomlin and Steve Martin. Very funny movie. Did anyone see that movie? There are parts of it on you tube I am going to watch later.

Tina~in_ut said...

Shirley~ give me one of those guys~ and congrats on 100~ and I miss Carol too....she just left Wisconsin and is over Iowa now~

Tinka~ so what if I'm addicted! :)~

Goldie~ may I please have a corner brownie?~

Sandie said...

Hey all!

Whoa, Carol hasn't even been gone a day and there's dancing, drinking and waving tassels!!

Hey, I think I just saw a fireman with tear away fire pants walk by . . .

goldie said...

My fireman is here? Woot, woot!

2 corner brownies for you tina!!

Tina - If you are going to have an addiction, you've picked a good one.

Tinkatia said...

Shirley - I am seen "All of Me". I have it. It's a good one.

Tinkatia said...

I meant 'have seen'. Sorry.
I also deleted the double post.

Zona said...

What was that I just read..TINA's standing on the corner again...wait on TWO corners...damn she's good.... ;)

Tinkatia said...

Shirley - No you didn't knock me over. I stepped aside. I can't get the knack of marching with someone else. I mess it all up. I march to my own drummer.

Goldie - I just sprinkled the nest with lavender. It really makes you sleep well - as long as you don't have allergies. I love sitting in the sun pulling the seeds off the stems. It brings back memories of long ago for me.

Zona said...

TINKA: LOL...marching to your own drummer is the best way to go!!

goldie said...

I just boiled eggs (no, not Tina's recipe0 and lordy does it stink in here!! I'm pretty sure that I would have to make excuses if someone came to the door. LOL

Ok- off to watch the republican VP speak. I figure I must listen before I can speak my mind.

iteach said...

Jodi, thank you for the funny blog today!

Carol, have fun in Vegas!

Did we ever figure out what SSO means?

Tina~in_ut said...

Sometimes Significant Other~

Tina~in_ut said...

Goldie~ I think you did use my recipe~

Tinka~ you are right....perfect addiction~ :)~

Zona~ naughty, naughty Zona~ it's about time you got off the phone~

Tinkatia said...

Tina - Please don't forbid Zona to use the phone. That is my entertainment - I just love her voice.

Goldie - Sending you some lavender to cover the smell of the eggs cooking. Let me know if you get it. I am sending it by Owl Express.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Tina I'm sending over the construction worker for you!

Goldie that fireman of yours sure knows how to...well never mind.

Tinkatia said...

I put my leaky water cooler dispenser in my driveway. Brian was going to deliver it to the dump. Within an hour it was gone. I guess someone saw it and thought I was giving it away. I hope it doesn't flood someone else's floor tomorrow. They had to drive onto my property to get it so I can't feel too responsible.

Zona said...

SHIRLEY: Send me the telephone repairman...just in case... ;)

TINKA: ROFL...we all have to remember to always look before we march!! :)

TINA: Shy, yes...naughty...naaahhh...

DIANNE: We're gonna swim all weekend...

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Tinka it sounds like you have quite a selection of movies and TV shows. It must be nice to be able to watch your favorites over and over whenever you want. My Star Trek collection is what I have taped off TV, so it isn't the best of quality. I would love to own the entire original series as well as The Next Generation series and Voyager on DVD. Doesn't look like that is going to happen.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Umm, Zona I didn't hire a telephone repairman. But I have a cowboy that looks real cute in just his gun belt and hat! I'll send him over.

Sandie said...

I know you guys are just dying to know this . . . I finished cleaning out my office/craft room tonight!!

Unfortunately out of all of my ... ahem ...(lots) of stamp sets, I could only part with 11 sets.

Okay, I'm ready to celebrate! Shirley, where did that fireman go?!

iteach said...

thank you Tina

I hope they have a wild time!

Donna Jean said...

Hi Everyone!
Hope there are still Owls out, and not "nesting"!

SHIRLEY~ I am sure you picked out perfect frames! The Optician (or the assistant) should help you pick out the right frames for your face. That's what they are paid for! I have been wearing glasses since I was in the 4th grade, and if I had a nickel for all the "wrong" frames I wore, I'd be a millionaire! I now only wear "readers" and I have about 25 pairs of them.
Please email me a picture of you in your new glasses.
I am sure you will look beautiful! (people nowadays wear glasses without prescriptions, just because glasses are in style and wearing them looks cool)

WHABBEAR~ Only YOU would take my comment to Tinka that way! LOL!

BEBBI~ Hi! always nice to read your posts!

SANDIE~ Hi also! Hope you enjoy your summer/fall reading. I am going to write down all the books everyone has read this summer and put them on my list.

JODIE~ What can I say? You are so one of a kind! And I love "one of a kind's"! They are "my people" Can I have your potato salad recipe? PLEASE, WITH A CHERRY ON TOP???
PS: I don't think I have your email addy. Can you get it from Tina or anyone else on MS and email me??? Just asking. Also, Margaritaville is happening? Count me in, although I would prefer a shot of Patron with a beer back!

GOLDIE~ I want a picture with you and your red tassles!!! (don't think that will happen, though) I am so happy you enjoyed your card. SacBarb picked it out JUST for YOU!!!

ZONA~ Stay Cool!! Well you already are COOL, I just meant about the weather!!! Love ya lots.

TINA~ Breathe, Exhale, Breathe, Exhale, Relaxation!!! Work Schmuurk, who needs it? (well yes, we all need work to pay those darn bils) Anyway congrats on 69!

DIANNE~ Thanks for the email. How is Tammy doing? Still praying for the both of you and sending positive vibes your way!

TINKA~ I am so glad all is OK with the plumbing problem, and hoping it stays that way! No one needs a "leaking" situation!!

CAROL~ You better not be checking in on us!!! Remember Bill Murray in the movie "Bob" (one of my favorites). One of the best lines in the movie is when he is strapped onto the front of the boat and yelling "I'M ON VACATION, FROM MY PROBLEMS". I say that alot when on vacation! Enjoy, and DON'T WORRY!

BON'O~ You have mail! Thanks for the email this morning.

On a very different note,

I am very interested in the choice John McCain made with Sarah Palin. Anyone want to discuss that? I have some serious thoughts on this.
I am anxious to hear her speech tonight, which in California, will happen in about 15 minutes!

I don't want to stir up any controversy in the Nest though. I have noticed that there isn't much political discussion going on, so just let me know.

Peace and Love to All!

Donna Jean and Laurie Elizabeth

Sorry Sandie, Goldie has the fireman. I sent the construction worker over to Tina and the cowboy to Zona. How about a doctor? He looks really cute in his stethoscope and lab coat!

Shirley - I have a large video collection (over 500) but they will soon be obsolete as soon as they stop making VCR's and mine go on the blink. I would never had collected them if I had known what a short life they would have. Of course now I am buying DVD's and they may disappear soon too as the Blu-Ray comes in. One can not keep up with technology these days. Things are moving so fast.

Hi Donna Jean! My opinion on Sarah Palin is that she is being used because she is a woman. Period. I have read you opinion on her and I respect it. From someone outside the USA, that is just my opinion.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Tinka what is Blu-Ray? I'm not familiar with that.

Tina~in_ut said...

Shirley~ i am sorry, but I just cannot have the construction worker....it's like incest...my dad was in construction~ ewwww~

Zona~ 19? AND NOT SHY!!!

Tinka~ are you kidding.....i would never forbid Zona from using the phone....what would I do for 4 hours every night? lol~

DonnaJean~ I'll send Jodi your email~ And I'm breathing~ :)~

iteach~ I hope they have a naughty time....i want to call they in the middle of the night so bad!!! :)~ Right now they are over Colorado...almost to Utah~

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Tinka or VIG are either of you familiar with the Pacific Life Bible College in Surrey? My nephew just flew out there yesterday? I was just wondering what the area was like. He has to find a part time job. His mother is worried. He's 24 and this is the first time away from home. Anything you could tell me might help her to relax a bit. I told her I would ask. Thanks.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Ok Tina. Sorry about that. How about a fisherman or a teacher?

Tina~in_ut said...

Shirley...I'll take the fisherman...the teacher would be kinda awkward~

iteach said...

You know I'm ready to have a naughty time too. I'm due for a wild weekend with my hubby.

All this talk of strippers and Carol's trip is making me think of it.

Tinkatia said...

Shirley - I don't know anything about that Bible College in Surrey. I did live and teach in Surrey for three years but that was years ago. It is very different there now. VIG might be able to help. She is traveling right now and I don't know if she will be checking the blog. I will ask her when I hear from her.

DONNA JEAN: LOL...cool comes in about a month and a half...

SHIRLEY: Oh my...a cowboy will do..between 4 and 4 please... lol..

TINKA: We'll do out best to get those tapes to DVD.. ;)

TINA: SHY. Aw 4 hours..you know you're being conservative...oh wait..you ARE!!! ;)

SANDIE: I just keep piling stuff in the scrapbooking section of the office...it's all going to TINA someday anyway...I'll let her sort it out.... ;)

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Iteach you need to go take a cold shower!

Tina...one fisherman on the way! Watch him though, he really likes to rock the boat!

Zona said...

TINA: Teacher wouldn't be awkward...just the same.... ;)

ITEACH: Recipe for naughty weekend...one swimming pool...really...that's all you need.. ;)

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Thanks Tinka.

Tinkatia said...

Shirley - Blu-ray is a new technology, which utilizes a blue-violet laser to read and write High Definition video. It has five times the storage capacity as traditional DVD's and can hold up to 25 GB on a single disc. It is just higher tech than the DVD's that we have now.

Tinkatia said...

Zona-my-Baby - You are a sweetheart to do that for me. Maybe if Mr. Zona told me what to buy I could do them myself.
He has done so much for me.

Tina - Sometimes I think Zona's phone might disintegrate, we are on it so much.

Zona said...

TINKA: That's why I asked SHIRLEY for a telephone repairman!! ;)

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Ok everyone I am going to bed. My eyes are really blurry tonight. In a couple weeks I hope that will all change. Sitting in the dark probably isn't helping.

Tinka thanks for the crash course on Blu-rays. One more question though. Is it technology for the computer or the TV?

Good night everyone!

Tinkatia said...

Shirley - It's technology for your TV. It's for DVD's that can be watched on your television.

By next year all televisions will have to be digital or else you will have to buy a digital box. It won't be expensive "they" say.

I am off to watch "9 to 5" for a little nostalgia. Good Night everyone. Stay safe.
Love, Tinka

Zona said...

Good Night TINKA! One of my fave lines in that movie is when Dolly tells her boss she could "...change him from a rooster to a hen with one shot.." so funny. Great movie. Enjoy it!!
SWAK!

G'Night SHIRLEY!! Sweet dreams!

Tina~in_ut said...

finally....the eagle....owl..has landed~

goodnight Shirley and Tinka~ sweet creams.....lol...dreams~!

Donna Jean said...

I really don't want to start anything political that will upset the Nest.

However, I just watched the RNC with Sarah Palin accepting the nomination and her speech.

Earlier today they mentioned that her speech was written by someone else. Yes, I know that all the nominees have speech writers. But this one just sent me over the edge!

I believe in my heart of hearts, that McCain only picked her because he thought she would bring in the Women's vote, and also the "special needs" vote, which they expounded upon numerously.

I, as a mother of a "special needs" child was not impressed, and actually offended by her speech.

She, (or the writers) continously stated false statements, or "out of context" statements.

I noticed at the beginning of introducing her, Cindy McCain was holding the baby, Trig, who
happens to have Down syndrome, and then hand him off to to the father, and then to another daughter, as the need became apparent. (the standing up and being applauded)

I am sorry if my comments are too controversial for Nest.

I just call them as I see them.

Haven't heard from any of the Owls as to their opinions. I am sure we could have spirited, but respectful discussions.

Until later,

Peace and Love to All, Donna Jean

TINA - Not a bad addiction to have....but seriously, can you walk?!!? :P

Jodi said...

Off to work, but I left a fresh pot of coffee and Glazer Donuts for all the early owls today. ENJOY!!!

Dianne/Denver said...

Hi...can't sleep. I have already gone to bed and here I am. I don't usually have this problem but have for the last two nights!

Guess I will have a Pepsi and a donut. Did you bring any Pepsi, JODI. I wonder if it is too early to just go and get a jello shot. It is kind of like fruit for breakfast.

TINK: I hope your morning starts out much better today (Thursday).

ZONA: I wish I had a swimming pool to hawe all the fun that you have at your house. I wonder if a kiddie pool would work?

Jodi said...

DIANNE - I have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and chocolate milk, too!!! So sorry you can't sleep.

Dianne/Denver said...

Hey JODI: Look at that big bag of balloons in SHIRLEY's backpack!! I wonder if they are for the end of the convention tomorrow night when they drop all of them! I really can't imagine anything else she would have them for, can you?

Dianne/Denver said...

JODI, do you have time before you leave for work to kind of mosey around and see what else we can find? It wouldn't be snooping...just kind of cleaning up and taking care of the nest, right? Whoops...I just tripped over some red very tall high hills...one has some feathers on it..weird...looks like chicken feathers..any ideas?

Jodi said...

DIANNE - High hills?!!? You must have already hit those shots I sent you. Must've meant high HEELS!!! lol @ chicken feathers!!

Jodi said...

ok....really going to work now. I vacuumed the naughty mat and sucked up all those damn feathers. :P

Dianne/Denver said...

JODI..all that talk about your boobs and tassels and shoes...I got confused! Yup, red high heels! I am going to go back to bed again. Night
