How are you doing? How's that beautiful grandbaby of yours? :hug:

[auntAgonist]

40. I'm good ! Ella is wonderful

she's growing so fast. I can't wait to see her in January (sometime). They're staying home for Christmas this year so I'll miss seeing her first big holiday. She is only 8 months old though and really will have a lot more exciting time next year. I won't miss that one! She is of course the cutest baby in the world! ! ! (my world anyway :))

I hope you're doing well SG! I've missed seeing everyone. I hope to change that.

Loads and loads of love and light to you, my friend! :hug: :loveya: :pals:

How is the crew? :hug:

[texanwitch]

18. The fur babies are fine.

My foot is almost healed, I will be glad not to have to wear this foot brace.

How is Ginger doing.

[Heidi]

22. The Boy is just fine.

More importantly, I'm glad you're moving toward less cumbersome footwear. It's been quite a year, hasn't it? :hug: :loveya:

[texanwitch]

34. The brace isn't so bad.

Ican wear my shoes with it so I am moving along. I do have a lot of things that need to be done outside, just have to wait.

Glad to hear that Ginger is doing well.

Not so little Monkey is taken to sleeping in the bathroom sink in the back bathroom, I don't know why.

[Heidi]

35. You MUST take a photo of Little Monkey sleeping in the sink

and submit it to that "cats in sinks" website! :thumbsup: :rofl:

[texanwitch]

44. I just sent you an email with a picture of Monkey in the sink.

She is bigger now then Tuna, Monkey is one big cat.

[Heidi]

48. Gawwwwwww, she's too cute!

You may soon have to invest in a larger sink, though. :rofl:

Thank you so much for the photo, gf. :loveya:

[texanwitch]

53. That is a old sink, we hope to redo the bathroom a little.

It is a little, ugly bathroom but everything works.

[SeattleGirl]

21. Hi texanwitch!

How's it going? :hi:

[texanwitch]

36. Howdy SeattleGirl

:pals: :grouphug: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

39. Nice to see you!

'specially on the Nighthawks thread.

:hug: :pals:

[texanwitch]

50. Glad to see the thread, like old times.

I just saw my first animals on Africam, and a few Zebra showed up.

I was thinking that Africam was really a watering hole somewheres in the Texas Hill Country.

[SeattleGirl]

52. You Texans!

I'm reminded of when I lived in Ft. Worth in the mid-70's. I had just started my job, and on my first payday, I went to the grocery store to cash my check. Since my then-husband was in the Air Force, we didn't have to get Texas licenses (we were from Oregon). When I presented my ID, the young clerk said (in all seriousness), "Oregon. Where in Texas is that?" :rofl:

[texanwitch]

55. You mean Oregon isn't really a part of Texas.

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

56. I hate to break it to you, but no.

:rofl:

[Floogeldy]

7. Yee haw! (That's Oklahoman for "Bravo")

:*

[Heidi]

12. Oooooo, the disembodied Beatles. YIKES!

I have somethin' for _you_, mister.

[SeattleGirl]

23. Hey Floog!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:



Now the joint's a-shakin' !!!!! :P

:hi:

[Heidi]

16. Hi, some guy!

No boobie bouncin' in this thread, my friend. We're all about hearts and minds here. :P

How are you? :hug:

[some guy]

25. I am fine, thank you for asking.

blame Writer for the bouncin' - I borrowed 'em from her.
or blame KW, who started the bounce-your-boobies thread, and gave me the chance to borrow 'em.

Myself, I'm a O8)

How are you this fine Saturday morning?

[Heidi]

33. Hahahahaha!

We'll blame it on Rio. How's that?

It's sort of a blah, overcast morning here. x(

[some guy]

49. OKAY!

it's his fault----->

It may be overcast, but that's still a gorgeous view!

Color me jealous...

[enigmatic]

37. This is a Nighthawks night

:hug:

Howling blizzard outside, Billy Bragg doing "Levi Stubbs' Tears" on my show, and very hot, very good white tea in my Tim Horton's mug..

[Heidi]

38. EXACTLY!

I started the thread when I saw you were in the house tonight, e. :hug: :loveya:

And I will now go put on my Billy Bragg and Wilco, "Mermaid Avenue, Vol. I" CD. Thank you for the reminder, my friend. :*

[enigmatic]

42. I'm honored, Heidi

Play "California Stars"; man, that was imbedded in my brain for years:)

[Heidi]

43. That's one of my favorite songs ever, and

CMW dedicates it to me whenever there's a Lounge "Dedicate a Song to another DUer" thread. :)

[SeattleGirl]

41. Hey e!!!!

Sounds like you're all cozied down for the night.

:hug: :loveya:

[enigmatic]

45. Hey SG!

:hug:

We're getting what you got yesterday, howling winds and all! How did the West Seattle bridge hold up? I saw the link to the footage to the floating bridge on Lake Washington and it looked nasty...

[SeattleGirl]

46. The West Seattle bridge is still standing.

And neither the 520 or I-90 bridge sank.....

Check your PM in a few.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear enigmatic!

I am thrilled to see you tonight!

It has been far too long since we gathered here.........

And I have missed talking with you so much......:hug: :loveya:

[enigmatic]

51. Hey Peggy!

:hug:

It's been a taxing Christmas work-wise for me this year; mentally, too, so I'm kinda recharging my mind/body batteries this weekend before I go back out the banquet madness. Even though I don't post much anymore I always read the threads when I have time and it's a pleasure when I see your posts on a thread:)

Former Okie here

Lovely morning here! :hug: How about you? :*

I didn't answer your question the other day, and then couldn't find the thread again, so here ya go: I grew up in northeastern Oklahoma. :hi:

[SPKrazy]

I grew up (age 15 anyhow) in Stillwater

Northeastern OK has some beautiful places

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

94. My dear Heidi..........

I was so pleased that MAHNY resurrected your beautiful thread tonight!

Good to see you, as always.......

And your card is en route..........But you most likely won't get it until next year........Sorry.......:cry:

:loveya: :hug:

[Heidi]

97. Hi, gf!

Don't you _dare_ apologize that your card won't be here "until next year"! I haven't mailed a single Christmas card; spent most of my time the past week driving all over hell's half-acre trying to find two, pink, 4G iPod nanos and Canadian dollars. :cry:

And you know, I :loveya: , my friend. :hug: :*

[CaliforniaPeggy]

103. I know you love me...........

And I am honored by it...........always........:loveya: :hug: :*

[SeattleGirl]

99. Heidi, gf!

:loveya:

[Heidi]

108. I'm so glad to see you, gf!

:hug: :loveya: :*

What're ya'll doin' for Christmas? Is it at your house? Or do you have to travel? :hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

113. I was going to go to Oregon to day to see my family, but

my trip is delayed until next weekend. I did get my car back, and now MrSG's car is on the fritz! Anyway, he has to work this weekend, and I was concerned that he might get stranded on the way to or from work, if he had to depend on his not-so-dependable car, so I decided to stay home this weekend, so he could use my car.

His grandmother doesn't drive any more, and decided to give him her car, but he won't get it until Sunday. (It's cool, though, because he gets a better running car for nothing!) So, we will instead be going to my BIL's house on Monday. I'll just ring in the new year with my family, rather than spending Christmas with them.

How about you, Call Me Wesley, and Ginger? Any big plans? :* :loveya:

[Heidi]

118. Sometimes, it's nice to stay home for Christmas, huh?

I'm glad you'll to be with your family for New Year's. :hug:

CMW's mom will eat dinner with us on Christmas Eve, and then on Christmas night, we'll go to her house for the big family thing: Ginger, me, CMW, my sister-in-law, her partner and our goddaughters. And the only thing I have to do for Christmas dinner is bring a nice bottle of wine. :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

120. Sounds like you will be having a good hoilday, Heidi!

:toast:

[SeattleGirl]

95. MAHNY!!!!

Nice to see you! :loveya:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]
