May all dreams come true!




Rosie has such a big heart, and just loves children, I remember seeing this on TV when it first aired, and it just struck a cord with me, my heart was weak.

The surprise was amazing, and as you can see on Stephanie's face no one was more surprised then her!

So, enjoy this video, and grasp the meaning, as one of Stephanie's dreams come true.

Vig, thank you, for reminding me of what a truly wonderful song this is!

:O)

  1. I remember when this was first on tv too Carol. I wonder how that little girl is doing today.

    All right, since I seem to be the only one who dragged her sorry ass up after that party yesterday, I'll put on the coffee.

    Hold on to your tits girls, but I am making Mr. Goldie breakfast today too! Fresh blueberry pancakes, bacon and eggs.

  2. Good morning feathered friends!

    GOLDIE...congrats on first! May I have some of that coffee and breakfast? Please!!!!

    I am sad I missed the picnic yesterday. By your banners I see I missed a hell of a good time! Maybe there will be another one that I can attend.

    Getting ready for work and the fundraiser today. I am going to one of the remote locations to check in riders that stop there...I get to spend a few hours hanging out at a biker bar!!! Then back to our own place to help out. We are expecting about 300 bikes and maybe 500 riders. If I am even a little bit awake when I get home, I will stop back in and tell ya about it.

    Later gators

  3. MO! Of course you get breakfast and coffee.

    You are an angel for doing the fundraiser. I hope you have a great day and its a success.

  4. Good Sunday Morning Goldie (#1!!) and Mo (Missed you yesterday. Hope you can stop in later with stories of a successful day and FUN at the biker-bar!)

    Zona, dear Zona~~~Left a little something for you in Area 51. :o)

  5. Good Morning All!!

    CPGEM: I love the raw emotion in this clip, what a wonderful thing Rosie and the cast did for Stephanie. I wonder how she is doing also.

    GOLDIE: Congrats on FIRST..no easy feat after last night!! LOL @ holding on...for how long?? ;)

    MO: You WILL get another chance...our 200th blog celebration is coming up!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  6. Morning Zona and Bono

    Hold 'em just until the pancakes hit the griddle Zona. Since we know my aversion to breakfast, that could be another couple of hours.

    Shark just teed off- go Greg! They interviewed Chris Everett and had her show her ring. Holy Moly- that is one frigging big ass rock!!!

    ReplyDelete
  7. BON'O: LOL! Funny, I could totally see myself doing that. :)

    ReplyDelete
  8. GOLDIE: Ok...but if my hands get tired...I'm bringing Mr Z in to give me a break! ;)

    How's Pepper this morning??

    ReplyDelete
  9. GOLDIE...I dont think I can hold up my teets...I am holding up my ass that is dragging behind me ;)~

    And I am NOT an angel, but thanks just the same! We are all just doing what is right...helping someone even less fortunate then we are.

    We are going to do another one in a couple of months for the family of the slain police officer. They want us to wait because they just want some time to grieve and mourn. Again, not a group of angels...just people that care.

    Can't wait for the 200th bloggy party!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Pepper is passed out on the couch and snoring. Little shit made me get up at 6:45 (on a Sunday!) to take her out. She never does that! Guess she had to many treats at the party and had to poop this morning!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Mo- In my book that makes you and angel. Too many people know what the right thing is but don't do it- you are doing it.

    Ok, well if you can't hold 'em up just make sure that you aren't letting 'em swing to hard and clock me upside the head!

    ReplyDelete
  12. GOLDIE...honey gravity has totally taken over..they may swing but if anything they will clock you upside the knees!!!!!!

    Ok, really gotta fly!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Good Morning!!!

    Goldie, Congrats on First!!

    Carol, I remember watching this! Made me tear up!


    Mo, You were missed. Wish I could help you out today. Not sure how I would do serving everyone..but I could at least walk behind you and and lift your ass off the floor!
    Take it from me...you do not want a sore ass! ;o)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Speaking of asses birdee.......lol

    Good morning!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hey Zona, Bon!!


    Goldie, I'm starving..got any extra pancakes?

    How long do I have to hold my tit's up for!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Geez, this tit holding seems to be a problem- ok, let 'em swing girls!!

    I am making blueberry pancakes, bacon and eggs for everyone. Oh, and I have fresh strawberries, blackberries, green & red grapes, coffee and orange juice.

    Not quite the menu Shirley delivers, but for a non-breafast person, not too shabby.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Goldie -Congrats on being first.
    I will be back.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Good morning Tink.

    ok, since I am making you all breakfast, you might as well stay for dinner too.

    The menu is- garlic turkey breast on the grill, homemade stuffing, corn on the cob (real butter), fruit salad, and a cucumber dill salad. Way too much food for just Mr. Goldie and I - so I expect you all to eat up!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Good Morning - Zonababy,
    Maureen, BonO, and Birdee. How is your Sunday going so far? I must read the blog.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Good morning Goldie! Congrats on first and thanks for breakfast. I'll have pancakes, bacon and coffee please.

    Morning Maureen, (sorry you missed out on the fun yesterday).***doesn't know I have strategically placed a water balloon over her door for when she get home from work (he!he!he!)***

    Good morning also to Bonnie, Zona, Birdee and anyone else that comes in.

    Carol that was a great video! I remember watching it when it was on the View.

    ReplyDelete
  21. MORNING GLORIES!!!

    Hehehe couldn't resist. How are the hangovers this morning? I don't mean your tata's either! LMAO

    Goldie is first! Wahoo Obviously partying agrees with her! Thanks for breakfast! I will be stopping by for dinner too! Yummy

    I also saw this on the view when it aired Carol. I got teary eyed then and watching it again, yep had to blow my nose.

    One of the reasons I miss Rosie on the view. When she gives a gift or a surprise you can tell she gives from the heart! It does not seem the same when they do surprises now. It seems kind of fake, and just something they do to promote a product or this is good for the show.

    Hey Mo I am so glad to see you land in the nest! Sorry it is so briefly tho. Just have fun today no matter what. I know it will be exhausting but fund raisers always seem to bring out the best in people. So enjoy that to it's fullest!

    Waving at bon'o, Zona, birdee and Tinka!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Good Morning to all! Sweet video to start the day, Carol.

    Really need to 'unplug' today after yesterday's marathon of fun, but Goldie....if we come over early, can we watch the 'Norman Conquest' before dinner?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Bono- of course!

    Hi lynn- believe me, if my dog didn't have to use the facilities I wouldn't have been first.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Good morning everyone!

    That was an awesome video clip, nothing like a good tear-jerker in the morning.

    I hope Stephanie is doing good. What an AMAZING surprise for her.

    The nest is busy this morning!

    I'm working an extra day today so will check back later!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Goldie - I gratulated you on being first but I didn't say good morning to you. How bad am I? And then you even invited me for breakfast and for DINNER. Grilled turkey breast and corn on the cob. I can't wait. Before that I will enjoy your pancakes and strawberries. You were well named. You are made of gold.

  27. There was absolutely no reason for my last comment to post twice. I hit 'publish' once and lightly.

  28. Awww, thank you Tink!

    Ok, here we go girls, the first batch is about to hit the table.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Good Morning Shirley, Lynn and East Bay J. I still haven't got to the blog yet. I don't want to miss any fun in the nest.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Maureen - With your heavy work schedule I do think you are an angel to do any volunteering. You give so much of yourself. It shines through on the blog.
    Now I must read today's blog. I remember that show with Stephanie but it will be fun to see it again. I cried the first time and I probably will again.

  31. Hello Everybody! I have been MIA for a while, sorry about that. It is a hectic live I lead sometimes. I put up my first ever youtube video yesterday. We went to an implosion of a building in Louisville. I had to get up at 5am.
    Here is the link to the video if you have a change to watch it. :)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_ZY4jV7dyQ

    If you ever get the opportunity to see a building implosion, you should go, the vibrations are something else!

    Then my family and I went to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom all day.

    I am sorry I missed the picnic! It looked awesome. I always love going through and reading the comments.

    I hope everyone has a great day!

    Congrats on first goldie!!

    Hello to all who have arrived so far today:

    Goldie, Maureen, Bon'o, Zona, Birdee, Tink, Shirley, LynnD, EBJ and anyone I may have missed. Have a terrific day today!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Also, I meant "chance" not "change"..and the blog today was so terrific. I love watching that video clip, I cry everytime I see it. Rosie is such a spectacular person.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hi bebbi- I saw the implosion on the news last night. Looked pretty awesome.

    Mr. Goldie did all the clean-up from breakfast, god I love that man!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Good Morning Owls!

    Carol: Even though you mentioned a surprise in the video, I wasn't expecting the cast of Rent to come out. That brought tears to my eyes, because I can imagine how excited I would have been. YAY for Rosie!

    Waving HI to Goldie, Maureen, BonO, Zona, Birdee, Tinka, Shirley, Lynn, EBJ, Bebbi!

    From yesterday's comments...

    Iteach: Did you enjoy The Dark Knight? Have fun at Mamma Mia! today.

    SacBarb: I'm seeing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on stage for the first tonight. Have you seen it, and if so, did you like it?

    Zona: I've read mixed reviews about TDK, but I'm hoping I love it as much as you did. I watched the movie trailer, and it looks fantastic! I'm seeing it this afternoon.

    Birdee and Carol: Hope you enjoy MM when you go!

    MEK: Yes, we stayed for the credits. The whole audience did which made it nice, because everyone was singing along just like at the stage version.

    BonO: I think a lively audience does make a difference in how much fun the movie is. A lot of people were singing during Dancing Queen. If it had been a movie like Phantom of the Opera, I would have been annoyed though. :)

    Dianne: That feel good smile from the movie stayed on my face all day yesterday too. It was so much fun! Glad you enjoyed it too.

    Hope everyone has a fun, relaxing Sunday!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Goldie that breakfast was delish! How much do I love a man that will do clean up??? Worth his weight after eating that breakfast I tell you!

    Bebbi I bet watching that was surreal. I won't comment on the unreal vibrations however. I have about 6 come backs that might offend! LOL

    Tinka did you figure out your Mac computer thingy out yet?

    Hi Amicus!!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. That was such fun watching that video. I wonder if there is anyway we could get an update on her. It sure makes me miss the old Rosie show. I loved it.

    Good Morning Bebbi, I really missed you at the party yesterday.

    Amicus - I loved "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" It was one of my favourites. I would have my choir sing "Any Dream Will Do". I just love it. I think I will get my soundtrack out today.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think I will go and have breakfast. May you all have a wonderful Sunday. I will see you later this afternoon.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Happy Sunday!!

    Good Morning!!!

    OH MAN, our storm last night lasted until well past 3a.m. - the sky rumbled like a million people were bowling and the sky was lit up brighter than the sun with the lightening - needless to say, not much sleep was had - SO, I have awakened exhausted...

    Goldie - Congrats on FIRST - and you literally made me spit my dry cereal out with your HOLD YOUR TITS!!! WOW, you made breakfast!!

    Dianne - congrats on 600!!

    Zona - I felt like I was back at Girl Scout camp sitting around the camp fire!!

    Bono - Happy Trails!! Good Morning - enjoy your day!! I am watching golf also!!

    MO - hope you don't have to work too hard today!!

    Birdee - :-)

    Tinka - good morning

    Shirley - somehow, I knew you would have leftovers today!! (water balloons that is!!)

    Lynn D - thank you for sharing your blanket with me yesterday and GOOD MORNING BACK AT YA!!!

    EBJ - don't work too hard!!

    Bebbi - sorry you missed the picnic - we really did have a blast - watch out - Shirley might have saved a water balloon for you as well!!! she was soaking ALL of us yesterday!!

    Amicus - good morning!! a friend yesterday was telling me that they hoped to see the movie with a FUN crowd and not one that would just sit and watch - should be fun when I finally get to go..

    Goldie - hubby took care of the dogs this am., I had the cats crawling all over me telling me it was time to get up!! I sure wasn't ready!!

    Okay - i think this is going to be one long ass post!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Goldie - congrats on 25

    Tinka - congrats on 50

    Iteach - i wanted to thank you again for a wonderful picnic yesterday!!
    :-)

    cpgem - thanks for the Sunday Video...

    I'm going to watch this golf tournament - then I need to pack, color my hair (can't go to Colorado with roots!!) and get some groceries for my mother!!

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

    ReplyDelete
  40. LynnD: LOL at the vibrations comebacks...THAT IS FUNNY!!!!

    Tink: I have missed you most! I sure missed a lovely picnic!!! Sounds like you are busy figuring out your Mac. Is it that different than a regular pc??

    Mek: I will watch out for the water balloons!

    Goldie: It was awesome. I definitely will go to another one, we weren't sure if it would be "worth it" to get up that early and go, it is really wild when you get the full realm of senses! Sight, smell, hearing,...quite the adrenalin rush!

    I bet it would be a lot more fun to go to the Mamma Mia movie with a really fun crowd.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Carol: GREAT blog! It actually gave me goose bumps and I cried when the cast of RENT came out! (I was getting goose bumps just when she and Rosie starting singing...as I know how I would have felt with just doing THAT)! I really got choked up when they would show her parents!

    I guess it hit me that she is Katie's age! She even looks like one of Katie's friends.

    Goldie: Congrats on being first and second!

    MO: Great to see you in the nest!

    Bon: Glad to see you bright and early (and not too hung over from that tequila)!

    Zona: I bet you had "sweet dreams" last night (after playing with those nekkid guys by the waterful)! Don't worry...we won't tell Mr. Z!

    Morning to Birdee, Tinka, Shirley, Lynn D, EBJ, Bebbi, Amicus, and MEK!

    Hope everyone has recovered from the party last night!

    I am off to work on my fence (provided the rain holds out).

    We had a storm last night too (and Cleo needed her "mama" last night)! Poor baby! Elvis ran and hid under the bed. Charlie just snored away (barking at the ceiling occasionally when a loud crack of thunder hit)!

    Have a great day everyone!

    Goldie: I think you may need to provide some Aspirin to some of the later owls (Whabbear in particular)! After all, he kept stealing all the Jello shots! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Good morning after, Owls!

    I am feeling like a bag of poo this morning and I was only at the picnic for short times and mainly when Tink and I went together. What are you party harties feeling like?

    Carol... LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! I have been watching Rent all week since I bought the movie and a new DVD player. I love that song and that clip. Rosie had it on her blog as her favourite moment on The View. And I have watched it at least twenty-five times. The look of pure joy on that little girl's face gets me every time. I just watched it again here and cried again! I would also like to know how Stephanie is doing..I think I will ask Rosie at her "Ask Ro" thingy.

    whispering: I just went on to rosie's site and she has her first talky blog up from the latest Rfamily cruise and the intern is on with her...and they mention a couple of his blog buddies.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Vig!! Hello and....OMG! thanks for letting me know there was a new blog at Rosie's!! Biscuit and Butter are going to go CRAZY when they hear that blog..how cool is that!!

    Rosie cracked me up with the "cleavage up to her fourth chin"..that still makes me laugh just typing it!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Well, I have to get going, got class and errands. I will try and get back later but if not, I hope all of you have a great day! Bebbi

  45. Boy, I'm dragging today.

    Getting home at 1:00 A.M. from batman was too much for me!

    Today I'm going to see Momma Mia with my girlfriend Rhonda.

    It was all her idea and I was surprised. She doesn't like movies that have music or romance.

    I do!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Bebbi, I have your Youtube clip on my to do list. :) I can't wait.

    ReplyDelete
  47. MEK, when your done with your roots , could you please come do mine? :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Good Morning VIG - Didn't I just see you on myspace? If you are not feeling well this morning, you shouldn't be running from place to place.
    I am using my MacBook and my mouse and I feel like I died and went to heaven. My fingers are not good enough for tracking I don't think. I love typing on this lap top because you hardly even have to touch the keys. Feel better fast.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Good Morning Iteach. I hope you are feeling better too. I think you are wearing yourself out going to all these movies. It sounds like fun however.

    Bebbie - I am going to watch your U tube. Good on you for learning how to do that. I haven't learned that trick yet.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Whabby, Goldie, Bono and anyone else watching the golf -

    Have you EVER watched someone get SOOOOOOOOOOO excited after posting PLUS seven!!! or was he just excited that he got 69!! LOL

    Norman is falling apart - so, I'm cheering on the Irishman!!!

    Iteach- I'll be right there to do your roots!! no problem.. enjoy the movie...

    howdy to VIG, and Jennifer!!

    back to golf!! (had to give cpgem her Sunday sports report!!)

    she thanks you and hopes everyone enjoyed it!!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. MEK - (Ears perk up!!!) Roots? If you're going to ITEACH's to do hers, why not swing up and do mine, too!! Have a great trip to Colorado.....I know it will be a bit emotional, but I know you've been looking forward to going. SWAK!!!

    CAROL - Luv that clip!!! Ok....I just have to suck it up and get Rent....(hangs head in shame....I still have not seen it. And I love the music!!!)

    Just got done making 10 lbs of potato salad (for real this time!!!). Off to my friends' son's b'day party.

  54. Good morning Goldie, Mo, BonO, Zona, Birdee, Tink, Shirley, LynnD, EBJ, Bebbi, Amicus, MEK, Jennifer, VIG, and iteach! I hope I didn't miss anyone. I'm dragging a bit after all the fun yesterday.

    Goldie Congrats on first. Did you get the chickenshit off of your shoe? And you made pancakes AND bacon and eggs? That's like two breakfasts in one!

    Birdee Are you walking a little funny today?

    Shirley You were really something else yesterday. I didn't know you were so mischieveous. Kudos to you!

    iteach Thanks again for organizing the picnic. It was great fun.

    Carol Thanks for the blog and video today. I sure hope Stephanie is doing well. Two of my highschool classmates married and had a daughter with CF. She didn't make it past age 7. This would have been in the mid 70s. I sure hope they find a cure soon.

  55. **flapping both wings at Jodi & J/L**

    MEK~~I feel like I have sand in my eyes from the wind...or am I just tearing up from all the talk of what Tiger would have done in these conditions?

    ReplyDelete
  56. MEK- I am watching- you gotta love that Wood kid too- he did great for a 20 yr old rookie!

    No hope left for Norman, but go Padrig, always liked him too.

    Jodi- I love Phantom too! Wish I knew it was on, I would have watched too. Have fun at the party!!

  58. j/l- no to the shoes, but I really am not looking too hard to get that pair back!

    Yes, I am still patting myself on the back for that breakfast. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  59. IBB if your are reading this I just want you to know I couldn't think of anyone else'e chicken that would have been more appropriate. I remember when you gave us the recipe a lot of people tried it and loved it. Everyone loved it yesterday too. (((HUGS)))

    Thanks Mek!

  60. Just Lin I would never act like that at a real party, trust me. It would be way out of my comfort zone. But damn it was fun!!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Shirley Well you can practice with us. Eventually, you may start expanding you comfort zone in real life, a little bit at a time. Baby steps. (((HUGS)))

    ReplyDelete
  62. Shirley I am NOT suggesting you drop water balloons out your window onto unsuspecting people below. LMAO!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Actually the balloon yesterday were suppose to be for the kids. They were never intended to be used as water balloons.

    ***crosses fingers and hopes they buy that***

    ReplyDelete
  64. Bono - the tears started flowing when they showed Miss Evert watch Greg miss that putt!! What emotion!

    and what a story he was this week..

    Goldie - LOVE the Irishman - he is SO cool in person - what a personality!!

    AND - He just thanked the MARSHALLS - noone ever does that!!

    Okay - I need to get something done -

    heck, I have to pack, do my hair, Iteach's hair and now Jodi's!! I am going to be one busy little gal today!!!

  69. Good Afternoon all Owls everywhere. I just woke from my nap. I am sitting out on my deck in the sunshine and I feel like a million bucks. I hope you all feel just as happy to be alive as I am. There is nothing like a mid-summer's afternoon. I haven't even thought ahead to what I should do in 5 minutes. I am totally in the moment.
    I hope my friend VIG is feeling better and that my daughter is getting her well earned nap.

    Dianne - Please give me details as to what happened to her last night. I know you only tell me the truth.

    Wishing you all a glorious afternoon. Goldie, I will be there in time for dinner. I didn't forget your invitation.

    Joey - How do you feel today my dear? Great I hope.

    I commented on your blog Carol but I neglected to say "thank you". You find such wonderful videos to show us.

    Good Afternoon to those I missed on the blog this morning - Jodi, Mek, Just_Lin and Jennifer.

    Jennifer - I hope you are having a better day. Stay strong my dear.

    Bebbi - I have always had a Mac. That's all I know but I am trying to get used to a Mac Book. It is a lap top and you scroll with your fingers.

    Lynn - I have figured it out. If I use a mouse it works great. Thanks for the suggestion Carol. I had tried it before but when you suggested it I tried again and stuck with it. I like typing on this lap top too.

    Mek - I love your passion for golf. I wish I had some of it. It gives you such pleasure.

    Just_Lin - Are you still dragging after the party yesterday or do you have your
    'second wind?'

    Whabbear - I seemed to have missed you yesterday but from what I read you had a fantastic time.

    Birdee - Have you survived? I was ready to call the S.P.C.A.

    Zona - Most everyone was gone by the time you sang your song. It was beautiful and you were great on my guitar. Someone else sang "Happy Trails" too. It was also great. Sorry I would have to go back and check to see who it was and I would lose what I have written.

    I think I will take my babies to the park now that we are fully awake. Be back later.

    ReplyDelete
  70. It was Bonnie who sang "Happy Trails" - a perfect farewell song.

  71. I remember seeing this when it was on and it is one of my favorite memories of Rosie. Gosh, I miss her having her own talk show. She was always doing such wonderful things for so many.

  72. Goldie:
    Congrats on First! I am holding tight onto my titties, and if I don't they seem to flap in the wind!

    Tinka:
    I have a confession I cannot use a laptop unless it is connected to a mouse, I cannot adjust to scrolling with my finger, I have tried many times, to no avail. So I stick with my desktop, and if I ever get a laptop I will have to use a mouse!
    Glad you are using yours and finding it easier to use...

  78. As Zona would say! Attention K-Mart Shoppers!!!

    Sunday is our 200th blog (thanks shirley) so there shall be a celebration. I am putting something together, and I would like to use some pictures of all of you. I cannot use all, as there are way to many of us. I will be just picking owls randomly. If anyone is NOT ok with me using their picture e-mail me by tomorrow. If you are ok with me using your picture, no need to do anything.
    I will be taking the pics from your myspace pics or using the grad pics that are on my flickr..

    Also, if I don't use your pic, please do not feel offended, Again it is random!

    If you don't have any pics of yourself on myspace or on my flickr, consider yourself Lucky!

    :O)

    Glad you enjoyed....

  81. MEK: That was very disappointing. Poor Greg... now the total of majors he led after the third day stands at eight!

    Big Shout out to Zona! ;)

    OK, off to the Lone Star. Tink, I will try to live in the moment there, too!

  84. Whabby - I KNOW!! I was really pulling for him..

    Tinka - thanks - I love my golf!!

    cpgem - your welcome - and I will.

    Jodi - my hair is done!! packing still needs to get done.

    Iteach - glad you enjoyed the movie!!

    BUT - I think I broke my little toe - moved a box and didn't move it back, then jammed my toe into it.. it's massively black and blue and hurts like a you-know-what!!!

    OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

    and now, it's raining outside!!

    Dianne in Denver!!

  85. Carol, You have made me feel so much better knowing I am not the only one who has to use a mouse with a lab top. I felt handicapped because of my fingers but now I don't. Thanks for the boost.

    Bear - I think most of your moments are fun.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Wow Carol...200 blogs! Congrats!

    Barb should be home in about an hour... Hey Barb, check in when you get there!!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Mek - It sounds like you did break your toe. If it is really black and blue and hurts then it is broken. I have done that and there is no point in getting it x-rayed because there is nothing they can do for a broken toe but have you rest it. Did you say some "pretty" words when you did it? I know I did.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Zona - Are you up yet? Give me a call. I am lonely.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Tinka - yes, I know - all I can do is tape it to the next one and let it heal itself.. bummer, though!!

  90. Happy Sunday evening Owls.

    I just got home from seeing Momma Mia and I agree with those reviews already given by the Owls that have seen it...I was fun and Pierce Brosnan can't sing, but at least he carried a tune...OK, it was in a bucket but it was still fun.

    Amicus: I have seen Joseph...a few times and I loved it every time. I has been about 6-7 years since the last time I saw it, and I think one of the Hudson Brothers was Joseph. How was TDK?

    Carol: Love the video. I, too, had tears watching it. Thanks.

    Goldie: Congrats on #1. Am I too late for dinner? I used enormous restraint and didn't buy popcorn at the movie and I am hungry. I'll even take leftovers.

    Birdee: I hope you are shoeless today.

    Jodi: I watched POTO last night too. I love it and the music and I watch it every time I can. I have seen the stage show 5 times.

    Iteach: Thanks again for organizing the picnic. I put that kids craft book in the mail for you, yesterday.

    MEK: Glad to see you are all packed. You better check to make sure the kitty isn't in there too. I hope you have a nice time in CO even though it will be sad without Chris.

    MO; Missed you yesterday. I hope you don't have to work too hard today. Maybe you will meet a HOT BIKER Dude! :)

    Shirley: It was fun to see you let your hair down yesterday.

    Waving a wing at all the other Owls. I am going to watch Design Star on HGTV in 15 minutes, then Army wives. BBL

  92. Hurray Barb! I am glad you made it back. Glad you checked in...worried it was a long trip for you to drive after so many late nights laughing and talking.

    Can't wait to see the photos! Thanks for being such a great friend!!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Thanks for the pic... it's awesome to have!!

  94. MEK, thanks for coloring my roots, they look awesome!

    I'm so excited about you going to Colorado.

    I just love traveling.

  95. good evening feathered friends~

    got home a bit ago...long day! but it was amazingly fun!

    spent a few hours at the biker bar and checked in about 150 riders. sadly, it POURED! and some left without continuing on. the 150 that came in were SOAKED!! but it was for a good cause and they were good sports. there werent as many riders as last year, but the bartender at the biker bar said we had one of the best turn outs then they have had this summer so far. i dont know the grand total, but it was quite a few thousand dollars i'm sure that were raised for this little boy.

    when i returned to our place, i spent about 4 more hours pouring soda pop and waters. a huge group of twinsburg fire and police officers came over and we had a prayer and moment of silence for our fallen police officer. for all the times my boss is an asshole, he totally redeemed himself today!

  96. Hey!

    Happy Sunday evening!

    MEK can you do my roots quickly? Thanx, you're a pal! :)

    Had a busy day at work, one of the last patients to come in was a man who put "something" in his rectum yesterday then pulled "it" out. It made him bleed.

    He just wanted his rectum checked.

    Hmmm.

    Sorry if that's TMI but WTF??

    OK all you Big Brother fans, who do you think will get nominated for eviction tonight?

    I am pretty sure he'll pick Remmy, and possibly Jerry.

    I like the cast of this season much better than last. Although Jeremy is not my favorite, he is way too vain.

  104. Just stopped by again to say goodnight to everyone.
    Thank goodness I can finally go to bed! We were w/o electricity for over 3 hrs this evening and it got so darn hot in this house that I couldn't have rested if I had tried. We had a big storm and power was out all over town. So glad to be back on-line and to have our AC back. I didn't realize how spoiled I am. And how spoiled our food was about to be!!! :)
    Hope everyone has a great week ahead!!!
