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

My Way
by Shirley
Not sure which version I like better. How about you? Do you like Elvis or Frank or both? Enjoy!
I need a favor~and yes it involves prayers. Tina`s mom-please.
My baby lost a good friend on Thurs. to brain cancer. Today he called sobbing His very good friend, who lives in SF now (she is from here originally) went into labor last night. Son was supposed to be there as part of support team, but is flying until late tomorrow. His other BFF is the godmother and was at the hospital with her the whole time.
Anyway~after 36 hours they did a c-section and she bled alot and didn't wake up when she should have. She is in ICU.
Baby not doing well at all, flown by medflight to UCSF.
Nothing hurts your heart like a child who is suffering and there is nothing you can do. Nothing scares you more than your child calling at 6:30am sobbing and can't get the words out.
So- please give your thoughts and prayers to Angie and Baby M. She is a lovely girl (we had dinner with the 3 Amigos when we were in SF in March).
Sorry for the downer, but I need my friends to rally for the, for my son and for me I guess. I feel so helpless.
So we have 1 for Elvis and 3 for Frank and 1 who can't stand either. I'll do a tally at the end of the day to see which version is preferred. Thanks for your comments.
My avatar picture is of my Dad with my niece Emily and my nephew Iain. Today is Dad's birthday. He would be 91. I miss him, maybe a little more this year.
Maybe you are confused....Elvis is the tall...devastatingly good looking one....Sinatra is the smurf...that has to smush a nut to hit the high notes.....
Now I don't have a thing against midgets.....I just adore Mary.....but I
lol DeeDee..I just love the crooners..can't help it, had enough of Elvis. BTW, we have a private movie that my dad took of elvis going into Graceland that only has been seen by our family. He is in a car filled with women and waves at the camera..it's only a few seconds long but kind of neat to have it exclusive to our family. Our own little piece of Elvis, if you will.
there shant be a "main event'....I must run an errand or two....therefore i shall leave everyone for now with their fantasies of their favorite member of the
GOLDIE - Sending healing thoughts and prayers to Angie and Baby M. Having gone thru a pretty traumatic birth with Jake, I know how scary this is. Sending (((hugs))) to you and your son.
SHIRLEY - I'm with DEE DEE....Elvis all the way.....*ducking....sorry ZONA*
p.s. (((hugs)))....and I love the pic with your Dad ♥
TINA - I thought that would be your response!!
LYNN - Almost have the dumpster filled....and it feels great!!
Hi. Sending positive thoughts and prayers yo ur family and friends Goldie. Hope the other owls r having a good day. Guess wgat today is---??? The first Bronco game so evyong get out their bags and cheer. Received a note from Barb and she is with a friend/bronco fan. I hope she doesn't still her bag!!!
DeeDee: It was in the 1950's sometime. My dad knows the exact date..it is cool. It shows my MOm and Dad and their friends at the gate and then Elvis drives up and has several women in the car..the gate opens and they go in and he looks right at the camera. Our little family personal Elvis moment...when my Dad says, "I SAW ELVIS", well, dammit..HE DID!
Goldie,I have been offline all day and didn't know about your asking for prayers. I scrolled down the comments and didn't see an update. I have prayed for miracles to happen for the Mother & baby. Such a sad time for everyone. I prayed for strength for your Son as well.
thanks for your words of encouragement and for the prayers for Angie and the baby.
Angie has awakened and is talking. Still in ICU at Gerneral Hospital. Baby Miles is also doing better and they are hopeful that they can remove his breathing tube tomorrow. He is still in the NICU at UCSF.
At least my son sounded much better. Having lost a friend 3 days ago, this was all a bit much for him. But he is relieved and was getting on the plane to Boston. He gets back on the Red-eye tomorrow night, so by Tuesday he will be able to see at least Angie and that should make him feel better.
Shirley, I would have to vote for Elvis, no Frank, no Elvis, no Frank, Elvis, no Frank, no Elvis, no Frank, Elvis, no Frank, no Elvis, no Frank, Elvis, no Frank, no Elvis, no Frank,
GOLDIE: So glad to hear things are getting better for mom and baby. I know your son will feel so much better to actually be there with them.
So....anyone watching their pre-season game today or yesterday? I'm not crazy about them but at least it is something to do. We did go to a little HOA gathering today so we can look social to our neighbors. The bad part was had to take the wheelchair to get there.
The good news.....I will "try" and take my crutch and drive for the first time tomorrow. I have to say that I am a little nervous. I had planned to go with MRD in the mountains this week and take my one granddaughter but I am just afraid I can 't walk good enough to do it. I talked to her tonight to see if she just wanted to come here for a couple of days and go to the movies, shop where I can get a driving cart and go eat at her choice. She seemed fine with it. I think I will feel better and I don't think MR D is too sad at all...he is smiling actually!!!
omg! That movie was fantastic~ I need to go eat~ then maybe pray a little~ then maybe love a lot~ :D
Goldie~ My mom called me today~ She hasn't called me in weeks~ I explained first who you were.....and she said, "Oh yes. I know who she is! I'm STILL praying for HER! How is she doing?" So.....Angie and the baby are in her prayers as well as mine~
And Carol~ My mom asked how your dad is doing~ :D
I've got to go farm and then hop in bed~
btw....Shirley~ I don't think I've voted yet! NEITHER ONE!!!! They both suck the giant one~ :)~
Goldie.. My thoughts are certainly coming your way.. and thanks for the update.. sorry for your son, that is so awful to go thru a passing of a friend and not this..
Tuesday is the final test for my dad, I have to have him there @ 2p, The girl that works for me, it going to keep the office open and try to handle things best she could.. if she runs into a problem she will txt me..
This test should give us the results we have been waiting for.. my fingers and toes are crossed.. I will keep you all posted..
Well it looks like Frank has won the day! I think I am going to have to vote for Elvis. I like Franks version but Elvis put a little more emotion into his version.The actual vote totals are: Elvis - 11 Frank - 15 Neither - 1 (rolls eyes)
I've been waiting 2 weeks for this blog!!!! Guess what, Shirley~
ReplyDeleteI can't stand either of those guys~ :)~
Good Moaning~ :D
ReplyDeleteGood morning miss moaning~~~
ReplyDeleteFrank- all Frank.

Good morning...
ReplyDeleteboth versions are wonderful....but Elvis sets my zorch aflame....
Morning glories!
ReplyDeleteTina again how pretty you are. (sigh)
Shirley I think I prefer Franks version. Classic.
Waving at everyone before it gets to hot here to lift a wing. It was 98 yesterday. :(
goldie how awful. I am sending all the prayers and positive thoughts I can today. (((Hugs))) to all of you.
ReplyDeleteGood morning!
ReplyDeleteShirley, gotta go with Frank for numero ono!
I like both versions, but like FS a little better.
Goldie, so sorry for your sad news. Sending positive thoughts your way!
I can tell you from experience that baby is in super good hands at UCSF!
Please keep us posted on mom and baby's status!
Supposed to "warm up" to 85 today and 89 tomorrow.
This is the coolest August I can ever remember.
We had a party yesterday, got most of the mess cleaned up last night before I went to bed. So today is laundry and swimming a little later.
Have a good day!
Tina after I sent this to you I couldn't remember which one you didn't like...I didn't know it was both! Lol! Thank you for posting it anyway.
ReplyDeleteDo you only moan in the mornings? ija
Good afternoon Goldie! I'm sending lots of ((HUGS)) and good thoughts your way. I hope everthing works out for everyone.
