Happy 23rd BirthdayDom!!!

Mamma Mia is a great musical! I was fortunate enough to catch it in Toronto last year. A whole lotta fun, not your average musical. The audience participation on every ABBA song was phenomenal. Young, old, male, female- everyone in the audience knew the words to the songs and sang along. It was almost like being at a concert, the crowd was that electrified. Mamma Mia

I'm going to continue with the cowboy theme.... Lil Joe from Bonanza

Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have a terrific birthday Dom and that all of your birthday wishes come true! Kel

To play: Soccer, Tennis, Softball To watch: Beach Volleyball, Golf Kel

Mark, My sympathies, unfortunately I know exactly how you feel. I too suddenly had my best "Net" friend drop out of contact in the past month due to things beyond our control. Reasons were different than what happened with Snowy leaving GA (and you, as collateral damage), but the end result is the same. He's gone, leaving sadness and depression. I'm sure you'll work your way around to the other emotions if you haven't already; like being bewildered that such an important change could occur in your relationship without you being warned, feeling pissed off at the world because he's not there to share something you KNOW he would crack up over, wondering what you might have said to possibly change the current situation, realizing at the same time it was outside your control anyway and ultimately hoping contact will be re-established. It's a remarkably vulnerable time. I can't tell you it gets any better, I'm not there yet and it's been just over 4 weeks. The sting of it has lessened slightly, but the raw emptiness has remained. I've since spent time online with some terrific people , yet not one person "gets" the whole of me like he did, just bits & pieces. We would often type the exact same words at the exact same time when IMing. Sometimes it happended 3 or 4x's in one evening alone, that's how well we knew each others thoughts and thought processes. Reaching out to others has been the one thing that has saved my sanity these past weeks- that additional connection does help. If you ever feel like venting, give a shout. I'll know exactly where it's coming from. Been there, living that. Kel

James, They're all cool looking pics, but that 4th one down with the butterfly wings spread out like that! Looks like you asked it to just hang out for a second so you could get the perfect picture! It's got some great detail on the wings. Kel

Kel She is adorable. Mag <{POST_SNAPBACK}> She is sweet. She looks "frisky". I love her brown eyes. Does this sweetheart have a name? Hugs, Conner <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Conner! Yes, her name is Keely. Kel

Happy Birthday TheZot! Here's wishing you a great year Kel p.s. Read your story Yankee last night. I enjoyed the light-hearted revenge theme and your main characters tactics. Some well written secondary characters too.

And thanks Mag! I think she is too Kel

My girl, my best friend. Kel

Happy Birthday Conner !!!! (Although as I'm posting this it's not quite your birthday yet where you are, since you're on the west coast.) Anyways, let's get the formalities out of the way.... Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Conner, Happy Birthday to you! Be glad that was typed and not sung out loud to you, your hearing would likely have been damaged... Hmmm...now for the fun. Some Birthday spankings are in order too. Just need to get Michael off your lap for a bit and you onto mine for some time to administer them. Cross my heart and promise to make 'em sting for just a few seconds each. Have a terrific day Conner! Hugs and an ass squeeze on your left cheek, Kel

I wont hold it against you, but I'm not Jules... Julian Alexander is Jules, I would be Joe And I have a feeling that with what everyone said, this 'bozo' wont post again. Nickolas, I'm still working my way through reading these blogs (they seem to be breeding like bunnies ) and just read this latest blog and all of its replies to-date. Eeks! Yours definitely gets first place for Bitchy Reply Post of the Year from Unregistered. Condolences rather the congratulations are in order for that. A real gutless wonder for failing to register and instead launching a sneak attack. To Mark's point and Joe's confirmation.... Unregistered still has an IP Address out there that will trip him up someday, if not now (to Joe's point that the bozo won't likely be back to your blog). No one deserves that kind of spewage on their blog and it's a credit to everyone who has acknowledged that in their replies, regardless of any past history with you. I'm impressed with everyones comments here, they say a lot about GA as a community. Take care, Kel

Dio- Welcome to being a Jeep owner (specifically the Wrangler/CJ/Renegade/Rubicon models). I bought a Wrangler 4x4 soft top in '89 and quickly learned it's an unwritten code between Jeep owners that you wave at each other as you pass one another. Enjoy your ride Kel

First few things that came to mind that make me go ugh Roadkill Melted chocolate bars Warm beer Flat tires & dead batteries Cold french fries Kel

Hi SonoLuminus, No, I hadn't heard Erasure's version of Solsbury Hill, but I have heard a preview of them now I went out to their site and found 3 versions to preview. I liked the Ltd CD Single (37B) Mix version the best. The standard CD Mix my 2nd choice and the Manhattan Clique Extended Remix was a bit fast tempo'd for the song, but I guess if you were dancing to it, that would be the way to go. Solsbury Hill - Erasure Link Kel

One of my all-time favorite singers and songs: Peter Gabriel, "Solsbury Hill" Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve Had to listen had no choice I did not believe the information (I) just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom "Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." To keep in silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Tho' my life was in a rut "Till I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" he said "Grab your things I've come to take you home." When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No one taught them etiquette I will show another me Today I don't need a replacement I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" I said "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."

I said it at the Fort too, but l'll second that wish here for a fun day as well. Happy 20th Birthday Drew! Kel

FYI, From a post at another forum, James is okay but without power, as he predicted. Thought you guys would want to know. Kel

I'd second that Although, hot pink instead of hunter's orange would have made a nice statement in your neck of the woods... Just a reformed bad boy these days . Mum's the word. All my best, Kel

Uhmm James... It's not April Fools, but I'm hoping this post was a bit of black humor?? Kel

I'm awakened at 5:30am like clock-work by my dog (ugh, even weekends or if I've been chatting till 3am) or she'll lick my ears to get me up if I'm being lazy. Next I stumble my way into a t-shirt & shorts, pull on some sneaks and take the dog for her 1 mi. walk (she has to sniff & see what other dogs have peed on her favorite spots....she's very territorial about them ). Back home she gets fed and then I typically check my favorite web-sites. I'm in the shower by 6:30am and out the door to work after that. Coffee waits till I get to work- then it's 2 cups for the morning. Kel

Hi Michael, I remember using that on my back when I threw it out a few years ago. I'll have to pick some up before the championship game gets here. The ibuprofen did take the edge off though, so no pops & creaks getting outta bed this morning I told Mag tonight I need to get out from behind home plate and get into the infield or something next year...this is just hell on the knees, especially the nights we play a doubleheader. 10 things Mag....you've got me beat! w00t! Hugs to you both, Kel

My avatar isn't what I'd call 'designer', but I did make it to immortalize myself South Park fashion, so I would call it 'Custom' instead. Those who know me say it does look like me, in cartoon form...lol. If anyone's interested in making their own (either male or female), here's the web addy: http://www.southparkstudios.com/games/disp...games.php?id=16 Just click on Create your own South Park Character. You pick the eyes, head, hair, hands, clothing, accessories & background color. Then just save it in paint or some other photo shop software. It's a fun way to kill a few minutes, I've made them for friends & family too (my nephews loved 'em). Kel Some others that I've made:

Thanks Conner, I appreciate that.... ...specially now that my knees have started to stiffen up a bit from softball earlier this evening #19 in the list above with the ibuprofen is all too true Kel p.s. Good news though , our team won the playoffs tonight
