  4. Morning glories!

    Deedee BAM! Your the prettiest again today!

    Hey I have seen that swimsuit, on the new depends box for men. Summer wear for the older set.

    Shirley I can't tell but it looks like you have four boobies. Kinda like a two head calf or something.

  5. Tina I have been reflecting on Memorial Day all weekend, and we must in my mind, take a moment to remember all of the soldiers past and present who have fought to give us our freedoms and yet still don't have all of theirs.

    I am talking about the soldiers who are gay and lesbian. It is time that this country recognizes freedom for all especially in this case or we are cowards as a nation.

    We need to fight for them,stand up and make this right so that their sacrifices count.

    I am humbled by anyone who has fought for our country. Bless them all.

  6. Thanks DeeDee! It was just something I threw together, nothing special. **watches DeeDee very closely**

    OMG Lynn D!!!!! those are my knees!!! I guess you haven't had your vat of cawfee yet!!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Well said Lynn D!!!
    "...freedom for all..."

    ReplyDelete
  8. Shirley, I think LynnD was referring to those sidebags hanging outside your knees. They LOOK like sidebags. What'd you do, get a "two-fer" boob job?

    We're so far removed from the terrors of war, it's easy to forget that Memorial day is more than just a summer gateway day off from work. We should give all our service men & women the respect they deserve for protecting our freedom. Regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation, they're all heros.

  9. Gee, would you look at that? Someone deleted their comment #1 and didn't cop to it. Looks like something DeeDee would do.

    ReplyDelete
  10. hello again....

    that was my delete....I used a avatar that I thought proved to be a little risque.....moobs.....omg!!

    and that other one....could he have pulled his suit up any higher!?

    I feel like putting the top down and driving to the coast today....but I don't have a convertible AND its much easier just to talk about going than to actually do it......

    ReplyDelete
  11. OMG!! Shirley has fainted!! Somebody SLAP her!!! Smack her good!

    ReplyDelete
  12. **opens eyes**
    **feels someone slapping her**
    **looks up and sees DeeDee standing over her with a can of ether**
    **faints again**

  13. Good morning, and happy Memorial Day!

    I want to give my thanks to everyone who has served our country, past and present.

    A special mention of my grandpa Frank, who was killed in the Phillipines during WWII.

    He left a wife and 5 little kids.

    Also my brother, John, who has served in Iraq twice.

    His second tour was shortly after he became a single father, he had just gotten custody of the 2 young kids.

    The men and women sacrifice so much.

    Congrats on 1st today Dee Dee!

    Shirley, my what huge t!ts you have!!!

    Well said Lynn, I agree with you 100%.

    Hi Bona!

    Have a nice day everyone :)

  14. Hi Everyone..

    Oh my, it is so freakin hot here in NJ today.. It only 11:45am and I am sweating my arse off..

    Ok.. coolers all done.. what a job that was.. 9 bags of ice, three coolers filled to the brim..

    I am already tired.. :(

    Its going to be a long hot day!

    Hope everyone has a great day..

    ReplyDelete
  15. Great blog Tina.. remembering all that who have served..

    ReplyDelete
  16. DeeDee, "too risque" is not a phrase I thought you knew existed. I assume your gentleman avatar sings soprano?

    I have begun celebrating this Memorial Day bt becomming a different race. I am now a mulatto. Black and purple. It goes well with the massive screw-up I committed against my hair, the color of which can only be described as, "freckle".

    ReplyDelete
  17. (finishing Shirleys dose of ether in order to steal her top)....lol at "freckle"....and u won't find a qualified colorist today....

    but you may find a nice wig...ijs...

    OMG!! This ether was on "HIGH" dose!! I think I may have killed Shirley!! Someone take her purse!!

    I mean...her pulse....lol

    I've got her top....oh wait...I didn't know about these "tattoo's"....somebody help me reload her top....careful....don't let go of that strap....you'll put your eye out!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Why is shirleyb naked on top asleep without her purse? Hmmmm she never told us about those tatts or titts.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Thanks, Lynn D! It's high time this country honored and accepted all people who are ready and willing to put their lives on the line through military service.

    I was very encouraged by the votes this week on repealing DADT, and very disappointed by the politicians who voted against on the pretext that votes to repeal should have followed the review and report, rather than preceding it.

    The analysis and report on "how" to implement repeal should be about two pages long, and hardly needs to survey all of the hundreds of thousands of people serving today. A crisp "repeal has had no impact on recruitment, retention, or unit cohesion in country after country that has already lifted their bans on open gays and lesbians" would suffice.

    And to those who say that repeal here in the US comes with special circumstances compared to other countries because of DOMA, well, yep, the end of the military ban will be complicated by DOMA. If there's nothing inherently wrong with us gays and lesbians and our relationships, which the repeal of DADT is a de facto recognition of, then what is the rationale for continuing to discriminate against our relationships?

    That's exactly why you've seen groups like the Family Research Council, which exists ostensibly to promote and strengthen American families, getting into the DADT repeal issue so strongly. They know that when it comes to their anti-gay positions, they're sitting on a pack of cards.

  20. Whabbear....

    IMHO....its a house of cards...and the winds of change are blowing...


    And regarding the release of Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga....

    talk about courage and sacrifice for human rights.....I am hoping Hillary Clinton will offer them asylum in the United States and get them over here before it is too late.....they have become worldwide icons in the struggle for LGBT rights....and they deserve the "Rosa Parks" treatment!!

    I am waiting to hear where interested parties can donate for whatever it takes to assure their safety and well being.....I really want to help...

  21. I just got home from work. And it was a joy to wait on so many vets today!! One of my favorite customers is a WWII vet. He served in the Navy and probably on a ship that my Grandpa cooked for!! It was a pleasure and an honor to thank every single one of them ♥

    I'll be back later. Crazy busy and we had truck today, too. Naptime!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. DeeDee Oh, my, how you've changed! I don't know that you are the prettiest today. Let's just say "interesting" shall we?

    Shirley Okay, is that your new camouflage for your water balloons? I guess you could also sand bag your door in case the waters are rising. I wouldn't want to be standing next to you if you turned suddently....ijs. There does seem to be a faint odor of ether lingering around you. I wonder why.

    LynnD LMAO @ Depends box!

    Bonach Why are you black and blue? What did you do to yourself now?

    EBJ I'm imagining Shirley in your pool with her "water wings". LOL

    Carol Sounds like a hot one! I meant the weather this time, not the Italian Stallions. LOL

    Dianne Maybe that's where the saying "Tit for tat" comes from. LOL

    Bear Equal rights, equal respect. It just has to happen.

    Tina Thank you for the moving poem today. It brought tears to my eyes. We owe our heroes, past and present, so very much.

    I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day. Let's not forget to reflect for a moment on what this day really stands for.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I hope everyone is having a nice Memorial Day.

    Thank you to all of the men and women who have served in our military for everything they have done, every sacrifice they have made, to protect our rights and our freedoms. Thank you also to all that are serving now and in the future. We wouldn't have all that we do without you.

    The poem was beautiful TINA..thank you.

    DEEDEE: I see you were letting it all hang out in 51..way to BAM! ;)

    SHIRLEY: You're all ready to swim..you have great flotation devices.. ;)

    LYNN: Why are all old men so high waisted? :D

    BONACHI: You're right..heroes, every one..

    EBJ: Have you been in the pool yet? Tell Mr EBJ it's time to dive! :D

    CAROL: Try to stay cool..have a couple daiquiris! ;)

    JODI: Mr Z's dad was a cook in the Navy..I don't think he was that good a cook though..he was thrown off the ship into the harbor. ;)

    BEAR: I will never give up hope that respect is shown to all..it's only right.

    DIANNE: Let me know if you find out.. ;)

    J/LIN: LOL@ camouflage for SHIRLEY's water balloons! I wonder if DEEDEE's avatar at #1 is hiding a super soaker..I can't quite tell.. ;)

    Well the heat is on here..it was 100 yesterday and will just be getting hotter. We're looking at 112 by the weekend. Time to swim! :D

  24. **opens eyes slowly**

    Oh I don't feel so good. Could someone help me up please and bring me my two wheelbarrows. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Shirley I don't think the wheelbarrels will work. I'll bring my forklift instead.

    Zona, we are going to vacuume the pool this week!

    JL I don't think water wings are quite the right description hee hee! They certainly won't float!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Dee Dee: Ooopsies! LOL! Yes, House of Cards!

    Zona: Thanks! :| :) :D !!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I am in love....with these shoes....Christian Louboutin.....bought em....over the phone..today.....will have them on my tootsies Wednesday....I needed a Memorial Day present......

    ReplyDelete
  28. Good Morning you bunch of wackos!!~ These avatars are outta control~

    Happy Memorial Day~

    DeeDee~ Congrats on handsomest~

    ReplyDelete
  29. DEE DEE - You're the BAMMIEST today....especially in that striped man diaper!! lol!! But oooh, la, la.....love your new shoes!! Those are some fancy "whorestompers"!!!

    SHIRLEY - Honey....seriously I'm worried about your back!!

    LYNN - Well said!! It shouldn't make a difference who you want to love, if you want to serve our country......that is all that matters. PERIOD!!!

    BONACHICHI - They are ALL heroes in my book!!

    EBJ - Thank you to your Grandpa...he made the ultimate sacrifice ♥

    CAROL - I sure all your hard work was worth it today!!

    DIANNE - lol @ tatts or titts!!

    WHABBY - One small step. :O)

    SLIN - I am ever conscious of what this day stands for. Many men in my family have served, including both my brothers.

    ZONA - Enough water in the pool yet?!!? And yes, I guess that would be a gauge in his cooking skills!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. TINA - The poem really hit home. Thank you for sharing it!! When do you get your house back?

    Crap!! Gotta go pick Jake up from tournament team practice!! I'll bbl.....:O)

    ReplyDelete
  31. J/Lin, for the record, I did not DO anything to MYSELF. I was in the desert. With off-road nuts. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time for 3 unfotunate meetings with trees and 2 misguided attempts to keep cars on 4 wheels. Well, they kept the 4 wheels, just not on the ground where cars with any sense keep 'em. Climbing out of cars sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  32. DeeDee I swear, if you wear those Louboutin shoes, you will fall straight on to your face.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Tina dear it's PM not AM. That means it's evening now not morning.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Jodi don't worry about my back. I have a hydralic lift bra that work great!

    ReplyDelete
  35. So who had the best meal today? Come on you guys spill it. I want to know everything including dessert!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Shirley, maybe you could get DeeDee to give you her new shoes. You'd fall forward, but you've airbags that will bounce you right back up.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Well people I hope you all had a relaxing long weekend.

    Goldie I hope your shoulder isn't too painful and it heals quickly.

    I'm off to watch some hockey and then going to bed. I have to work tomorrow and then go get some groceries and see if I can score some drugs for mum!

    Nighty night Owls!

    DeeDee you stay away from me!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Very funny Bonachichi! I'm glad you think my birth defect is amusing. I'll have you know it took a team of 10 doctors, 5 nurses and an auto-body repairman to pull me out of my mother. That's why I was a month late.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Thank you for the beautiful poem TINA. I think about our military men and women every day and pray for them. I look for the day when all people will be treated with respect and given their equal rights.

    DEEDEE-Is JoJo GoGo a cage dancer?

    ZONA-What a coincidence, my Russian grandfather threw someone off his ship in Russia. I presume since he was on your husbands side and not yours' it was in America.

    I hope everyone has a great week ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  40. ROFL!!! an auto body repairman...thats funny!! Shirley...do you fall to sleep right away or does it take awhile?? You don't have a dog do you??

    Bonachichi.....I've been wearing heels for 60 years....my house shoes are even heels....

    Shoes are my ONLY vice....and handbags....and clothes....I guess you can throw cars in there...ok...and pianos...planes..dogs..jewelry...



    oh yeah....tequila...Patron... TYVM....

  41. good evening feathered friends!!

    I hope you all had a fun and safe Memorial Day. So many thanks to be given to ALL who have served to protect our freedom. And ANYONE that wants to dedicate their lives, whether for a tour or a career, should be honored for it. Regardless of their sexual orientation...period.

    I truly can't respond to all the comments today, but let me at least say I am waving a wing to ALL of you.

    SHIRLEY...is that a pic of before or after the breast reduction? LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Lani!!!

    OMG what has JoJo GoGo done!!??

    I don't really know who she is....it was just an add request and I approved it because of mutual friends.....I was afraid approving strangers would come back to bite me on the pu...tail!!

    Thanks for the heads up Lani....I am going to see what she has done.....WHAT HAS SHE DONE!!??

    ReplyDelete
  43. Evening everyone!

    Shirley I had popcorn, Butterfinger bites and a soda for lunch. Watched Shrek 400 with the grandkids. The popcorn was good.

    Then we had herb roasted chicken, potato salad, macaroni salad, green salad for dinner. Dessert was Chocolate dipped Macaroons.

    It was raining a good part of the day here so no bbq.

    Hope everyone had a great day!

  44. Hi! typing with one hand-so no more cap's.

    doing better- thanh you captain and coke. of couse not taking pain meds at same time. thought i would save them for work. since work is usually a pain in my ass, i figured i'd kill 2 birds with one stone (or with drugs) ;)

    hope everyone is well-talk to you tommorrow- thanks for checking on me Hodi!

    ReplyDelete
  45. HEIDI - No problem!! ♥ u!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. DEEDEE-lol Do let me know.

    GOLDIE- I hope you heal soon.

  47. SHIRLEY - I worked all weekend, so no fun cookouts for me. Stopped at Cousin's Subs on the way home and picked up subs for me and Sam....oh, and peanut butter cookies with Reese's Pieces in them. OMG!!! So good!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. LYNN - Ears perk up....Butterfinger Bites?!!? Pass them my way!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Waving a wing at SLANI & MOHO.....I see you ♥

    ReplyDelete
  50. I see that Jodi, Mo, Slan and Zona have all stopped in today, too. I hope everyone had a good day. No BBQ here today. My son handed his kids back over to their mother then headed out to spend a couple of days with his tattoo artist friend. He has a red heart on his chest with the ex's name (Monica) tattooed in the middle of it so they are going to do something about that. Maybe he'll change it to "Mother". LMAO! Word to the wise: never tattoo someone's name on your body no matter how great you think the relationship is.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Tina, Thanks for the inspiring poem. I agree with everything everyone else said about thanking all those that fought and are still fighting for our freedom and also, for equal rights for all.

    I hope everyone had a great day. Mine was quiet but good. I had BBQ ribs, potato salad, green salad, asparagus, and various crudities at my son's. No wine because I had to drive home.

    Zona, Your FIL was thrown off the ship? That's harsh! How bad could his food have been?

    J/L, LOL at your tattoo advice. My advice it just don't get a tattoo...period. Even if you like them, they don't age that well. I have a friend who had a rosebud tattoo done on her boob when she was in her 20s. Now she is 60 and it is a rose in full bloom and I think it is growing a stem.

    Good night and sweet dreams everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  52. JODI: You have the best avatar of everyone here.

    TINA: Very nice poem and blog...thank you. My elderly aunt (9)5 told us that Memorial Day used to be called Decoration Day and it was a day that you put flowers on everyone that had passed away graves not just military. Anyone remember that?

    How was graduation and grad night? In-laws still there or have they left by now?

    Off to bed....night to all.

    ReplyDelete
  53. SLIN - You can only hope ;)

    DIANNE - I KNOW....right?!!?

  54. I have the day off. Getting my hair cut @ 9am then doing lunch with my ex SIL.
