YOU are soooo lucky to have a singles place to go and dance! I have a friend in North Dakota who has the same thing and I'm so happy for you both. Have fun. Be safe!
JAG..."The Right Place" is MY favorite too. Did you see him sing it on "The View" the week before last? It was awesome. I taped it and keep watchin it over and over. He's so gifted.
JEAN.....you're too funny. "The only time you can get a man down south is a Dor with a rubber glove on?" THAT made my day!!
Oh Lord...JAG...I'm telling you, I just know so much about him from chatting on the Idol boards with so many of his SOUULLLLLL PATROOLLLLLLLLllll fans!! They're such a fun, loving bunch of people and I've met so many of them. The next time we plan to go to Birmingham to see him (in 2008), you'll have to think about meeting me and my sister, Sheila. The three of us would have a GREAT time.
This is no lie. Two days before the final show, we drove down to Birmingham to meet 35 other Soul Patrollers from all over the country who HOPED Taylor would win. We flew, drove, took a bus, or walked to the Sheraton to meet each other and cheer him on for the last two shows. It was a blast!!
OMG...are you serious? I LOVE him! I'm totally gonzo for Taylor. Ask me anything you want to know and I'll have the answer! In person he's absolutely GORGEOUS and I'm so proud of him... like I'm proud of my son! THAT kind of "love" him.
CASS.....for sure you and I would have to have a designated driver. It could be Cherokee because I don't think she drinks. I certainly don't drink like I used to because after 3 I get a headache. What's up with THAT? I don't understand it.
CHER....you have NO idea how nutty I am!! My favorite TV show is American Idol and I was a die-hard fan of Taylor Hicks from his first audition in Vegas til he won Idol, Season Five. My sister and I have traveled to Florida and Alabama to see him in 4 concerts. I'd leave in 5 minutes to see him again, if I could!
JAG....I know the topic you're referring to about people posting old pictures of themselves. I'm glad I had my sister take one of me after I'd lost 10 lbs. a few weeks ago. I've lost 5 more since that pic was taken and hope to lose another 5 within a week or two. THEN I'll post a new picture!
I swear, whatcha gotta do to make everybody happy here!!
CASS....I apologize. I didn't think I mentioned a "Screwdriver," but I'm sure I did. You're right...fresh O.J. is the best for them. My dinner was leftover Vegetable bake with Asparagus and Wheat toast slices. Total points: 8 (Weight Watchers) What's ice cream and twinkies????? I can't even allow my mind to go there...unless it's Sugar Free Ice Cream and ya might as well not have any! Right?
JAG......even though your name is Judy I think I'll continue referring to you on these boards as Jag. Is that okay? Think I'll refer to the other Judy as her User name as well.
Nicole Ritchie has been ordered to spend 4 days in jail! Say WHAT?? It was her 2nd DUI in 4 years and she only gets 4 days??? Another sore subject will be Michael Vick who should go to prison for the maximum penalty AND pay every ASPCA in America $100,000. THAT would cure him!
Okay...I've vented. I'll go and check out other posts! Have a great evening everyone!
SKYE....WE had a power failure while I was gone. I had to turn my computer on and THEN I didn't have a "server." Luckily the server came back quickly or I would have been calling SOMEBODY!!
YOU HAVE A TRAY OF YUMMIES??? Bloody Marys, Screwdrivers, Black Russians, Mud Slingers??? THAT kind of yummies??? Don't come near me with sweet yummies like desserts. I'm on the last 5 lbs of the 20 I gaines when I finally quit smoking. It's been he// getting rid of 15 lbs. The older ya get, the tougher it is losing pounds and inches; right?
Wow! I had to go all the way back to page 10 to catch up where I left off!!
UNIQUEMOM....loved your story about the guy with the not-so-good looks and I'm so pleased that you're still friends with him. Aren't you tickled that he's met a very special woman? Hope it works out for him.
QUIES..it IS important to have friendships and if that's all we gain here, I'm fine with it!
HONEST.....I cannot believe someone treid to fool you into thinking he was 55 when he was 79! THAT IS SICK!!
JUDY......you are so welcome to our group and "I" am especially thrilled because NOW I'm one of the "younger ones!!" We will always enjoy your writings and words of wisdom for sure so, please post often. Lord knows most of us can use all the help we can get dealing with all these idiotic scammers who prey on older women like us!
SHIP...you have an island? You'll make us all royalty?? Don't you WISH??? You and Mr. Jingles are always welcome to join us in good conversation!
MASTIC...how are ya dahlin? (He's my secret boyfriend from N.J.)
MARY, CHARLIE, and DON, don't be strangers! Come and post often!
CHER....I can't believe you AND Judy have had such awful times with scammers. I have a feeling the idiot Professor was one yesterday.
LOVES2....are you flirting with Ship??
SKYE...fruit? You're serving fruit? Hmmmm...I don't know about the rest of these fine ladies buy I'd prefer a Bloody Mary myself with a nice big stalk of celery!! I'm old but not dead and I'm not on any kind of medication to hinder the consumption of a cocktail now and then!
MINDFUL...stop in anytime.
DAKOTA....the Professor must have been run off when I point blank asked him the name of the college he was affiliated with. I also threw in a dig about my "grandson" majoring in Communications and how proud I was of him. He might have had visions of me standing with a hatchet in my hands waiting for him!! hahaha
JAG....LOVE your new picture! It's adorable!
SWEET SURRENDER & RED....wecome to our group!
THIS WAS A LONG POST BUT I ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY HELLO TO EVERYONE. OMG...I missed the young cutie-patootie. WHat the heck was his name? If we had an "EDIT" option, I could post this & come back to add his name! GRRRRRRRR! WE WANT AN EDIT OPTION!!
*****races into the room sliding across the floor***
WHAT HAVE I MISSED? I've been gone all morning and couldn't wait to get back to see what's new with our "Older Set!!" I missed you guys!
I HATE when I have to go into town, fighting the traffic, dealing with road construction, AND pokey-butt people who move slower than snail snot! Okay...I've vented and I'm back so I'll read all the posts to catch up on everything. I did catch a newbee!!
JUDY!!!! WELCOME to our group! I'll go back and read each post and come back with replies.
LOL...I can type but I type faster than I should and leave out key words!!
WHY don't they put an "EDIT" button for us to go back and FIX a typo!! Every other message board I'm on has EDIT BUTTONS!! I wonder if there's a place I can dig out to ask for such a thing.
CHER....you're not kidding it thins out our e-mails but I'd rather have NONE than have a few idiots wasting my time!
Did you see my post where I told you I really like your new picture? It's so cute!! Hope you had a good afternoon.
My sister and I finished dinner and then walked across the street to feed carrots to three beautiful horses. When they see us coming with the bowls, no matter where they are in the pasture, they come running like crazy to meet us!
I know what you mean...but we CAN enjoy various conversations and a few laughs here!! Have a great afternoon and evening. I'm off to start dinner before. My sister always loves coming home a nice dinner after work. SHE is spoiled rotten!
The last time I was warm and fuzzy when when I stayed at a great hotel in Carmel, California! They had the softest, fluffiest, scrumptious, yummiest, bathrobes I'd ever put on in my life!!
Charlie, I would have thought for SURE you were warm and fuzzy, but I guess your job ruined it for you after all those years! It's not easy being a cop. Have a great afternoon!!
He sent me two e-mails last night being very persistent and pushy. When I answered them this morning politely and nicely, he quickly responded with two more...each different and again pushy, giving me his phone #, asking me to come visit him in Atlanta or at least call him. Since I responded to his last one around noon, asking him what college he's affiliated with along with a mention of my "grandson" also going to college majoring in Communication....HE DISAPPEARED!!!
Don'tcha love it??? I guess older women are supposed to be "really old," senile, and very desperate! NOT!!!!!
Simon Cowell uses that phrase from time to time on American Idol and it seemed appropriate for your situation! I think you'd be a fun person to meet for a drink with 4 or 5 women! You'd also be a special woman for a special guy and I DO hope you meet one someday here or elsewhere!!
RE: For the Older Set!!!!
YOU are soooo lucky to have a singles place to go and dance! I have a friend in North Dakota who has the same thing and I'm so happy for you both. Have fun. Be safe!
