Welcome to DU, forest444!

Glad you're here! I'm glad he put it out there, too. MAKE 'EM DENY IT!!!! Put 'em on the spot. They'll probably say no just because it's HIS proposal. Spoiled brats that they are.

OMG - you remember that?

You must have been in the dorms? Or living right down the street! We used to joke about our fabulous big ol' ten sour-cream-fed watts! So that's about as far as KUCI's signal reached!

Time REALLY DOES fly, doesn't it!

Thanks, aint_no_life_nowhere! Lots of great and funny and downright silly memories (especially of THAT place)! We've all been on the radio in one form or other. My husband did, too - even before I got there. Our son's been on a lot, in many capacities, because of his band. And our daughter actually got herself a show on HER campus station. We visited her there on one Parents' Weekend. Heard her play "Parachute Woman" by the Stones. I was FLABBERGASTED! "OMG - you know THAT song? How cool is THAT???!?!?!" I tell ya, that girl has great style AND great taste!

Here was the special dessert his parents arranged!

Is that cool or what?

Well, it just means Grandma can watch from a balcony seat.

I'm sure she'll like what she sees from Upstairs. Our baby girl could do no wrong in her eyes.

We are gleeful, for sure! So are his parents.

Really nice people. We feel very fortunate. Looks like everybody's gonna have a great time - and liking each other!

Well, HERE!



I almost feel like dying my hair back to brown or something. My hair's gone totally white. I don't want to distract from the bride! Already wondering what to wear. With NO CLUE AT ALL how she wants to direct it! She's calling this one, 100%. She's got great style and taste, so I'm very much looking forward to what she decides. I just hope my photos don't turn out all blurry (as often happens, I'm afraid)! You should see what I can do to her brother's band's performances! Can't even tell who's who, a lot of the time, dammit!

I have no idea what she even wants to wear!

Don't care, either! Anything's fine! She'll be beautiful in a burlap bag forcryingoutloud!

My late mother finally admitted to me that she was unhappy with my wedding because my wedding wasn't what SHE wanted. Well, I didn't want to look like my cake! And I wanted everybody, especially the boys, to be COMFORTABLE all day. Besides, even if I did, she probably would have said it made me look fat (knowing her). Rest her soul...

And fortunate as all-get-out!

I'm really relieved! She didn't pick a schmuck! But then again - knowing her, that would not have been possible.

Still, I worry for a living. I'm never NOT worried about my kids. Just on general principles.

Sounds like a typical bush.

ANOTHER of the World's Biggest Entitlement Programs. That being - the bush family presumption that it is entitled to rule.

Make 'em squeal, Bernie!!!!

Foul up their works worse than they fouled up ours! Pee in their pickle barrel! Multiple times!

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
