San Diego - 94.1 FM J&J Morning Show Drama Club Thread

[SDGirl87]

Ok...I'm having a REALLY CRAPPY day at work. My boss was able to evacuate out of the state...so he hasn't been in town to deal with all of the stress etc. and I think he seriously forgets what we've been dealing with here all week!! I have fire fatigue and I'm so weepy today, knowing what my Mom will eventually have to go home to when they lift the evacuation orders from her area. We know that many houses on her street were destroyed. Hers is apparently damaged, but not destroyed. Still, she's been in Los Angeles and hasn't seen the San Diego coverage...so she has no idea what she's going to see...that makes me sad.

Soooo...my boss chooses today to be a butthead...and I just wanna cry.

Thank you...I had to get that out. We may now return to your regularly scheduled "LBH" (Laura Bitching Hour), already in progress somewhere,I'm sure. (insert attempted happy face)

[Trixie]

"Karma-Kaboose"

Is that FH's butt you are referring to? The one with the bullseye target?

Yes, and we so need Wonk to create this visual.

[boris85]

Not sure if this was mentioned, but yet again, Laura took young children to an inapproriate movie (ps - she really liked it even though it's received horrific reviews). Then, she mentions that she left Charlie Chimp and "My two daddies" Chip alone in the movie arcade. And then, to add to her parenting greatness, she states that she took the kids to the movies to get them out of the house AND out of the street! She lets them outside with such poor aur quality? Loser to the bone, baby!

[SDGirl87]

BORIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back!!! Everything ok with you and yours??? We've missed you!! (not even so to speak...we've actually really missed you!)

[Trixie]

:drums: :guitar: :sing: :fro: :wavey: :guitar: :bump:

I asked a few of the members of the band to do a show for Boris.

Welcome back buddy!

[Wabbitsd]

ohmygosh. is this for real?

Will we truly each get our own personal MATHEMATICAL FORMULA?

We will all be willow of the wisps in no time flat, once we do that. If we all just eat a few edamame beans, some nuts, and have no more than fifteen carne asada burritos in a three hour time period, we all should be on the road to recovery without having to recover!!!

[Trixie]

Laura has reached a new low if that is even possible. She seriously looks like a homeless person. What the heck is she thinking???

http://jeffandjer.star941sandiego.com/timages/page/laura_outfit1221.jpg

I'm bored and was reviewing some old posts from last year. Thought I'd share with some of the newbies. Misery loves company.

Discuss.

[SDGirl87]

HOLY COW....look how unhealthy and stick thin she was!!! My goodness...she looks terribly ill!! Man oh man...I didn't realize how sickly she really was until we see it now a year later.

[boris85]

BORIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back!!! Everything ok with you and yours??? We've missed you!! (not even so to speak...we've actually really missed you!)

Yes - we are safe. The fire was close, but missed us in Escondido.

[boris85]

HOLY COW....look how unhealthy and stick thin she was!!! My goodness...she looks terribly ill!! Man oh man...I didn't realize how sickly she really was until we see it now a year later.

Her name is really Annie Rexic - drug whore. Even back then, she could not keep the $73 outfit thing under $73...

[DreamerGal]

Good to see you back in the saddle, Boris ... so to speak!

[Dawnski]

Dang it - LBM's picture is not showing up here at work. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, so to speak.

[DeeTroit]

Welcome back missing DC people, you know who you are... (my attempt not to offend any of you).:cheers:

BIO
A southern girl at heart, Delana, "D" as her friends call her, has made San Diego home for the past 10 years. You've heard her voice in San Diego at Star 94.1, and Magic 92.5.


At US 95.7 she's workin' with you and playing the feel good country you love from 10-3.


Growing up in Winter Haven, Florida, D and her friends would drive to nearby Lakeland to drive past the home of Tammy Wynette and George Jones for entertainment. Thankfully, Tammy and George never called the police on them.

What does she think about country music? She shares the philosophy of Dierks Bentley who says "it's always been the best shrink that 15 bucks can buy."

Her country favorites include Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Reba McEntire who many years ago gave a young Delana her first celebrity autograph. (Reba....What an amazing singer, actress and all around class act!)

In her free time, Delana travels, swims, and spends time with her family, friends and her pups.

Ask her to make you some collard greens, black eyed peas, and sweet tea sometime.

[Carol]

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel slightly guilty ragging on the spewgram this week?


Not at all :)

Okay, so what I don't get is....

FH has all of this money right? Now, I know this is more of a personal view, but if I was loaded I would not take my children on vacation to Vegas. I know it is just a weekend away, but they have so much vacation time, and he just sloths around SD eating. Wouldn't you want to take your children places to let them experience the world, like you were not able to as a child. Think about what a great oppertunity it would be for the children to learn about other cultures...

..Now they just get to learn about being a lush, gambling and strippers from him. Oh, and how to eat..ALL YOU CAN EAT at a buffet.

[Trixie]

It looks like Delana works from 6 to 10 with HISTAR and then from 10 to 3 on US country station. That's a nine hour shift!

I might have to learn to love country. Her voice is on right now back announcing that last song and introducing 12 in a row. Hmmmm, my new favorite station?

[SanDiegan]

Remember what Jake reminded us of...black-handed Spider-Monkey’s (a.k.a. The Sablans of Chula Vista Tribe) live in groups of 2 to 8 individuals with the group splitting up during feeding. The group roams around its own territorial area (for the Sablans, this territory is the living room) following fixed routes, in search of fruit and nuts. If an alien monkey or other animal enters the territory,(this includes the fridge) the members of the group approach it emitting shrill cries to scare it away. But the aggressivity of these monkeys is something of a facade, because if the intruder holds his ground, (LBM is one of the alien monkeys who scarfs up the Sablan tribes food) the spider monkeys simply move off in the opposite direction.


Black-handed spider monkeys "bark" when threatened and often throw branches, jump up and down, and shake tree limbs when approached. They emit a sound similar to a whinny (or is that a whine? I bet Amused could confirm this!)

Don't insult the spider monkeys! I've worked with them in the past, and they are actually very sweet and good-natured. Don't demean them by associating them with FH!
Can't he be compared to something that is universally hated, like a cockroach?

[eyeseeyou]

BORIS!!!! We missed you soooooo!!! Glad you are safe!!!:wavey2:

[Trixie]

Every few hours? Maybe it is taking him (FH) longer to catch up on all our posts......

His last post was at 4 am. It is now after 2 pm. That is 10 hours. That's a few more hours than every few hours.

Is that what it says on the 94.1 website? Remember when he used to write them all the time, until he started playing his games with Moochie? I guess they haven't change it yet. He's too busy being the family man (so to speak) to spew his nonsense at all hours of the day and night.

[SimplyMe]

Has anyone heard from surfing texan?

[Carol]

Hopefully she is having a wonderful, restful, easy time with tex_hubby, and tex_new_addition.

Pardon me for pulling a Dil...but does she live in texas, or did she just send her kids to texas to get her kids out of the whole fire situation and she hasfamily out there.

[DreamerGal]

I think she lives in the Vista area. Sent her kids with mother in law to get out of Dodge.

Pray for the baby. If she has given birth, the baby is way early. As I recall she isn't due til January 11th. Is that right??

I believe she lives in Cardiff. Does anyone know how far along she is?

Oops, just saw Dreamer girl's post above.

[Carol]

Perhaps we should get a baby gift after we hear from her?

[MissThany]

Correct...she is a little over halfway done cooking.
Lets just wait till she shows up. If her hubby is back, kids are gone and she is on bedrest, she has other things on her mind. I am sure she will be back.

[longtimereader]

Hi DC buddies! Just checking in. I was evacuated early Monday morning and was able to go back home yesterday afternoon to find my house just as I left it. What an enormous relief! I am so incredibly thankful to all the firefighters for their hard work.

Jake - I'm so sorry you lost your house, but I'm glad you and your daughter are okay. That's really all that's important. Anyone else here who lost their homes (haven't checked yet), I'm truly sorry for your loss.

You all have been busy here the last few days! I haven't had time to read through all the posts yet, just skimmed through a few pages and read SDGirl87's post the other day - I called my home phone, thanks so much for the idea! The answering machine picked up. Just wanted you to know that FH wasn't the only one who benefitted from it! :)

I'll catch up with the LBM & FH crap this weekend.

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Jake - I'm so sorry you lost your house, but I'm glad you and your daughter are okay. That's really all that's important. Anyone else here who lost their homes (haven't checked yet), I'm truly sorry for your loss.


Good news - Jake didn't lose his house! It was a mixup on house/street numbers!!!

Glad to hear you are okay - welcome back!

[Dawnski]

I just saw this on the sign on San Diego website http://sosdfireblog.blogspot.com/. Wonder when/if the spewgram will be planning anything. Yeah J&J - here are some ideas, in case you can't come up with anything on your own.....

Fire-relief benefits
Posted @ 2:53 PM
Local media outlets are lending a hand to raise money for San Diego's fire-relief effort. Here are some benefits in the works:
- Cox Communications and Channel 4 San Diego have teamed up with the San Diego Padres and the Fashion Valley Mall for a week-long donation drive. Today through Nov. 2, the public can drop off cash donations or checks payable to ARC-San Diego Wild Fires at the Fashion Valley Mall. Padres third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff will make an appearance tomorrow from noon to 2 p.m., and Channel 4's Sam the Cooking Guy will be on hand from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday. It all happens on the south side of the Fashion Valley Mall, near the Boudin Bakery. The hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, except for Sunday, when the hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross and the San Diego Foundation's fire-relief efforts.
- Radio stations XX Sports Radio (1090 AM and 105.7 FM) and San Diego 1700AM will host Mission Recovery, an on-air memorabilia auction and donation campaign to benefit the American Red Cross fire-victims fund. Auction items include tickets to the 2008 Super Bowl, vacation packages, signed memorabilia and a dinner for two with Pete Rose. The Mission Recovery effort started today and will run through Nov. 2.
- The KGB Halloween Blood Drive couldn't be happening at a better time. The grand-daddy of all blood drives will be held Tuesday at Dixieline in Kearny Mesa, 4888 Convoy Street. The drive runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Tuesday's 91X Concert From the Crypt will benefit the San Diego Foundation for Fire Relief Efforts. Local faves Louis XIV will headline the all-ages show, which has been moved to the House of Blues, 1055 Fifth Ave., downtown. Tickets can be purchased at the House of Blues on the day of the show only.

That's great news. Let's leave this stuff to people who care - not the 94.1 lame squad. I can see it now, "The Human Flame" at Qualcomm Stadium....

[NewAgeGoddess]

NewAgeGoddess is back in the hood. We just arrived back from the Bay Area. Luckily the house we are renting is PQ is okay and so is the condo we are moving into in 4S Ranch. It's good to be back home. I missed the thread. I had limited access to the internet.

[11ListenerNot]

Fires produce hot air

Who do we think of when we think of hot air?

Guess!:wavey2:

[YoungAmerican]

Yes - we are safe. The fire was close, but missed us in Escondido.

Hi neighbor. :wavey2: Were you evacuated?

Hi to everybody here. I'm checking in on behalf of my wife. Her doctors were able to stop the labor, and hopefully she will come home tomorrow afternoon. She told me that she wanted me to contact one of you privately but thanks to severe sleep deprevation I don't remember the name she said. I'll pass the message along here confident that the proper person will note the significance. If we deliver early --or even on time-- the baby will be named Eleanor Loren. Now to speak for myself, thank you to everybody here that offered to help my wife while I was so far away. Any one of you are welcome in our home whether San Diego is in a state of emergency or not. I'm positive my wife will swing by here the moment we get home. Thank you again. --"DaddyTex"--

Welcome back NAG. Oh, I guess that isn't a very nice nickname, eh? I'll just use your full name in the future! Glad your houses are okay.

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Thank you, DaddyTex, for the update!!! We all were so concerned for your wife and baby....

Thank you for your service to our country and we are glad you are back to take care of our friend!

[SadSadSad]

Yeah, Baby Surfing Tex is still in the oven!!!

Keep surfing in your mama's tummy for a little while longer, Eleanor Loren.

[zodiac]

Yay, Daddy Tex!! Thank you so much for letting us know your wife is doing well!
I too would like to thank you for your service to our wonderful country! Glad you got to come home early to be with your family.
Tell Tex Zodiac says HI!! :wavey2:
We all miss her and have been thinking of her.

[Transplant]

Yeah, Baby Surfing Tex is still in the oven!!!

Keep surfing in your mama's tummy for a little while longer, Eleanor Loren.

WooHoo! I got shivers when I read the message from DaddyTex!

So now they'll be Surfin Texan, Daddy Tex and El Tex!!!!

[SadSadSad]

On a different note, it's weird that the Step Dad of the Year, FH, forgot to mention if Amanda was safe or not in his blogs. I mean, with him paying for the wedding and all I'm sure he knew they were on their honeymoon, but where is his concern for her house in Ramona..you know the one he helped pay for?

BTW who thinks if FH actually completes the 3 day he will say something close to or exactly like, "Well, now I've cured cancer."

[MomCat]

Hi Daddy Tex!! Thanks for checking in on behalf of the ladies in your lifem, we were very concerned about her. And like so many of the DCM's, I thank you very much for your service to our country. I know we keep you in our thoughts and prayers...take good care of Mama and lil baby Tex....

Yes, but Sad-Cubed, if FH imagines that he's concerned about Amanda, then he is concerned about her and everybody knows what a wonderful Dad (you know they never use the term "step") to Amanda, after he rescued her from a fatherless life and took her in as if she were his own. (If he imagines it, then it is so!)

[cheekymonkey]

Oh I'm so sorry!! I think if you want to feel better, take your baby, or borrow one, go down to the closest 7/11 and buy some scratchers! Proceed to show your baby, or the borrowed one, how to scratch off and get them hooked! There, isn't that much better now?


Seriously, my heart goes out to your mom. I was listening to the news about making sure things are documented by photo or video for insurance. And especially with smoke damage, if any, for replacement.

I hope and prayer for all our posters and their families that the devestation will pass quickly.

:)

[MissThany]

My heart is soaring with the news from Daddy Tex!
I am so thankful that surfing tex is well and Eleanor is STAYING PUT for now.
Thank you for thinking to fill us in!

Welcome to the Donation Page of
Tommy Sablan




My Fundraising Goal:
$2,200.00
Money Raised to Date:
$2,351.00

-------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, all of a sudden he has $2351.00 raised. I thought there's some fat cat that donated a large sum. I looked to the right column that shows who donated (honor roll), and it shows Beyonce Knowles donated $1041.00. Ok, first off, it this some kind of joke-Beyonce Knowles! Unless you guys know something that I don't know I think this is insane. And isn't it interesting that it is an odd amount. I can see $1000.00, or even $1050.00, something like that but $1041.00??
This is wierd:|

[cheekymonkey]

HOLY COW....look how unhealthy and stick thin she was!!! My goodness...she looks terribly ill!! Man oh man...I didn't realize how sickly she really was until we see it now a year later.


Holy Mr. Ed is more like it!! Her head is bigger than her body, gross!! And yet the outfit probably was something she wore the night before and rolled into the studio after her night of partying and didn't realize how horrid she looks! :gle:

How cool is that? Take care and thanks for the update!!

[SDGirl87]

Daddy Tex!! Welcome home and THANK YOU for your service!!! You are a true hero in my eyes (and many of us here!) We're so glad you are able to be home, though sorry that it's under such trying circumstances.

Please tell Mommy and Eleanor to stay snuggled up together and that we are thinking about them. Thanks for letting us know that they're ok. We've all been so worried!!

I hope you get to spend some good quality time together while you're home. Again, thank you for your sacrfice and dedication to our nation.

[11ListenerNot]

The fires were such a terrible tragedy, but there was one saving grace, we didn't have to suffer through another episode of tubbytube this week

[mamasterls]

Surfing_Tex, so glad to hear the happy news.

Please tell you hubby "thank you"!

[mamalellie]

Daddy Tex, Thank you, thank you for letting us know that you are home safe and sound and your sweet wife is fine and the baby is still in the oven...SO TO SPEAK!!
You are our hero and we have all(sorry PAX)been praying for you and your family!

[BebeSD]

I love that I can come here and read all of your gripes (which are the same as mine) about the Jerk and Jerkier Spewgram, but also come here to feel terrific about my invisible friends (uh-oh, childhood flashbacks!)... you guys are a perfect example of the compassionate, genuine San Diegans FH, LBM, and the rest only pretend to be (but don't really know how).

Big cyber-hugs to family_texan and their reunion and baby news, to Amused for keeping it together, and to everyone else for being an alternate form of gathering/entertainment (sure not going to turn on Star for that!).

[SDGirl87]

HERE HERE!!! :cheers:

[SDGirl87]

My Mom is in her house!!!! She's SAFE!!!! :cry: The house has some smoke damage and part of her yard is all burned up, but the house is intact and other than being filthy and some minor damage...it's all ok. She sounded so relieved to be in her kitchen with her pots and pans and her favorite fuzzy slippers, after taking a nice long hot shower in her bathroom. Her hubby is delighted to have his big screen tv and comfie leather couch to flop down on. I am so relieved. My Mom is ok :D It's been a tough few days not knowing. Had the house been lost or not...that wasn't the issue. It was the not knowing. Now we know and it's WONDERFUL. Thanks for letting me come here to vent, be distracted and feel a little less frightened and alone. As a single woman with no roomies...this has been a very difficult week and you have all made such a difference. You will simply never know how much. Thank you!!!

:woohoo: :sing: :guitar: :drums: :sing: :woohoo:

You should adopt a couple of us to keep you company.

We may hide keys every once in while, but we don't take over master bedrooms while we wait to eventually claim a house disputed in a divorce.

[WhoMe]

THANK YOU Daddy Tex for checking in. So glad little EL Tex is getting some much needed "mommmy time". Thank you Daddy Tex for what you do for our country!

So happy to hear from many of you who are back home and safe. I know two families who lost their houses this week. They are all safe and getting through it.

Thank you DC friends for keeping me entertained as well. Good to hear from Amused and Boris...WONK where are youuuuuuuu?

I'm so happy for you SDGirl. Such good news for your mom and her husband.

Your quote above says it all. I was trying to explain to my man tonight about you, my invisible friends, and how much the connection has meant to me for the past week. I'm thinking I'm going to have to show him sample posts for him to understand. But I truely appreciate being able come here to connect and vent and rant and rave and cry and express my feelings and get feedback from you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[WhoMe]

Okay..a little off topic/on topic. The following is from a website I was reading for a little early holiday planning...are ya ready Tummy? Here goes:

"Give in secret

Give in secret, and tell your children why: it is no gift when we expect gratitude, appreciation, or attach strings to our offerings. We give, instead, to relieve need; to share the abundance with which we've been blessed; and to reflect to others the good that we find in the world. Giving with grace is reward enough!

A few Christmases ago, I roped my eldest child, then 14, into a left hand/right hand deal. I was coordinating a church food box program for 120 families and a toy drive for homeless children. My giving time and my giving dollars were stretched as far as they could go.

Then I met a family that challenged me to give more. There were eight children all told, and two single mothers living on the edge. I felt burdened to see to it that they received more than the standard turkey dinner provided by our food box program.

My daughter and I put our heads together. Could we shop very carefully with our Advent money, and somehow find a way to bring Christmas to this family?

We could, and we did. We checked the sale flyers and found a sale on the types of toys we wanted. A neighbor (of limited means, himself) heard of our challenge, and contributed $20 on the spot. We tightened the belt on our grocery budget, and found a way to send gifts for all and some much-needed cash to this family.

But we never met them. We never burdened them with our need for praise, for thanks, for appreciation. We packed everything into a box and saw to it that it was delivered along with their food basket.

My child and I remember that Christmas as one of our most joyous. Our gift was not thanks or gratitude or "aren't-you-wonderful!" Our gift was knowing that somewhere in our city, eight children were enjoying new toys, and two burdened mothers had their loads lifted, just a bit, when they didn't expect it. In a word, grace--but we were the recipients of the blessing."

I repeat this is not my story...however it does lay down the challenge, can YOU give without anyone knowing it came from you? (Including those of us who read your blob.)

[texasmommy]

Hi all,

Just wanted to check in today (FINALLY). I have been reading the posts all day, just had a chance to relax (kids are down for the night).

SdGirl87 - What a blessing that your mom was able to go back home. I have been thinking about you today.

Daddy Tex - Thanks so much for the update on your wife and the little one. I also want to thank you for your service to our country. Being a military wife everything just hit so close to home with your family.

Everyone else..glad to hear the good spirits. Thanks for keeping me laughing today.

~WISHING I WAS IN SAN DIEGO~

[Wabbitsd]

Texasgirl...LOL! I love it.

I also thank DaddyTex for checking in...

WhoMe...great idea, wonderful challenge.

I might take in an invisible elf or two. It sure would beat me thinking I just can't remember where I left the car keys. And my kid is tired of being blamed.

[longcommute]

Okay...I'm going out on a limb here. I want to talk about my "faith," and NOT offend anyone.... "PRAISE GOD!" is exactly how I feel. I am a man who many, many, years ago was led to believe in God.

I do NOT believe I am now at my home because I "prayed," or this is God's "will." I believe God has a plan that is NOT part of our desire -- He has a plan that is part of our growth.

I may "pray" for a "desire"....but God may not see me grow with that "desire." My life is based upon a belief that God is not a slot-machine for prayer. He is a constant I depend upon to make sure that which I "pray" for, is in His will.

My home is not intact because I "prayed..." Many people will pray -- and will, tragically, lose their homes.


I'm of a like mind-- and I also completely disagree with the Tommy Sablan brand of prayer. I was taught early that God answers all prayers--and sometimes the answer is "NO."

[longcommute]

I hope and pray everyone is okay and your loved ones are safe and sound.

...so I was thinking Vegas and then I can start walking and eating right and getting ready for the 3 day as we pray for our family and friends that are going through a hard time because of the fires.

Wow. Tommy must have found religion--he mentions prayer twice in his blog. :rolleyes:

[OhPulleez!]

Hi DC buddies! Just checking in. I was evacuated early Monday morning and was able to go back home yesterday afternoon to find my house just as I left it. What an enormous relief! I am so incredibly thankful to all the firefighters for their hard work.

Jake - I'm so sorry you lost your house, but I'm glad you and your daughter are okay. That's really all that's important. Anyone else here who lost their homes (haven't checked yet), I'm truly sorry for your loss.

You all have been busy here the last few days! I haven't had time to read through all the posts yet, just skimmed through a few pages and read SDGirl87's post the other day - I called my home phone, thanks so much for the idea! The answering machine picked up. Just wanted you to know that FH wasn't the only one who benefitted from it! :)

I'll catch up with the LBM & FH crap this weekend.

The only problem I thought of with the answering machine trick is that if your power was off it wouldn't pick up and you might think that your house was gone, SO TO SPEAK (just a thought).
Anyway.....
DC #82 is checking in! I've been keeping up with all of the posts and discussions but have been way too exhausted to move my fingers on the keyboard. I've been at a local hospital all week working in disaster mode and I can tell you I haven't been this tired in a long long time. My house- and my home- are all fine, but it wasn't easy dealing with house/home/family and needing to be at work all week taking care of our patients and community, although it's a joy and pleasure to be able to do so.

As far as playing outside, don't let FH off the hook and put it all on LBM. I believe FH mentioned today that his kids were playing miniature golf? Or did I make that up because I have ASH BRAIN?????? So to speak.....

[OhPulleez!]

The fires were such a terrible tragedy, but there was one saving grace, we didn't have to suffer through another episode of tubbytube this week

I can't believe that they missed such a golden opportunity. Tubbytube could have been amazing this week! Can't you just imagine how great it would have been to be able to watch FH and LBM walking through "their" house talking us through the process of deciding what items to pack that were important to them for their evacuation? When I read that Tubby packed pictures I was sad to think that I wouldn't be able to witness the actual event of him gathering the 2 or 3 pictures that hang on his walls in the absence of Tummytube (or is is TummyTUDE??). And I sure do hope his shoebox isn't kept in LBM's closet. After her big cleaning she might have tossed it and he would have found himself left with a shoebox full of shoes. I just had an idea for next week's episode- they could focus the camera at the famous couch and let us enjoy all that energy!!! So to speak, so to speak, so to speak...

[SDReadhead]

Hey everyone, I know what image we can put on the front of our Drama Club Tee Shirts that we all wear at our "invisible friends finally meet and greet" palooza! It's courtesy of Dawnski, who emblazened this beautiful scene in my mind for all eternity: "And a vision of a big giant FH butt shuffling up Iron Mountain" (I love the verb shuffling!)

While I'm mentioning posts that made me laugh out loud -- kudos to PastHerPrime (who is still evidently in her prime) who, when referring to LBM said, “What’s that you nay?”

The I was going to pay for the firemen’s food but didn’t have to story got me in the worst mood. I detest that fat fool.

Wabbit, you are the reason I come to this thread every single day.

You know you all laughed when I changed portfolio to pornfolio in one of Jake’s posts yesterday, so come on and admit it. I’m sick of it being about Wabbit all the time. I come here for Wabbit, but you all come here for me.

Finally, Daddy Tex – thanks for the update; thanks for serving our fine country; thanks for secretly laughing at my pornfolio remark when you should have been at the hospital with your wife; in general – thanks!

Welcome back, Boris. Now where’s Wonk? I miss Wonk.

After meeting Michelle, and after we got engaged, I would somehow fall asleep at her house and “not on the couch”.

A version of For Some Reason. You are having SEX with Michelle and sleeping in her bed, Tommy. That's why you're "not on the couch." Geez, think his kids can see through that one when they read his blog? DUH.



THE SHOEBOX: It’s a beat up roadrunner shoebox that has all my papers in it.

Didn't he make a big point about saying that he had never been to Roadrunner before until he finally went a few weeks ago? And yet he has an old shoebox from Roadrunner?

[OhPulleez!]

Redhead, you truly are a BIG DEAL (so to speak!). I bow to you! :bow: I've been wondering how to say that I was really coming here for you without hurting anyone's feelings. The secret's out!

[DreamerGal]

LC, if he imagines he has an old Roadrunner shoebox, he has one! The concept of time is not important, nor does it apply, to our little Tubby FH. If he imagines that his Roadrunner shoebox is old and beat up because he got it for filing purposes after Amused took all those pesky file cabinets with that wierd alphabetical organizational system, then it is real, even though he never set foot in the Roadrunner store until earlier this year. I'm disappointed you don't get it. It makes perfect mathematical sense ... See, you take 10 to the nth power, divide by 37, multiply by the number of burritos FH scarfed this afternoon, and viola! You get the number of years he's had the old beat up Roadrunner shoebox. So to speak

[Carol]

Hi neighbor. :wavey2: Were you evacuated?

Hello neighbors! :wavey2:

[OhPulleez!]

DreamerGal,you forgot to multiply by pie. That completes the perfect mathematical formula.

[SDGirl87]

Ok....special nod and mention goes to the DC group for their OUTSTANDING (pardon the caps) use of "SO TO SPEAK" today. I'm so impressed! It made it's way into almost every post, at least once. I'm darn proud... so to speak.

[Jammie J.]

From Wacky Jane's Blob:
[I]Dear Diary,

I think Evan is going to be a performer of some sort. Yesterday afternoon, I was hanging with the kids and Grandpa Cain at the house. Ev was playing in the backyard while I sat on the porch swing and watched. She collected all sorts of toys and knick-knacks from all over the yard, singing her own little song the whole time. Her songs usually include the line, "I don't know, but it's okay…." Why? I have no idea, but it's cute.

Could it be that her songs include "I don't know, but it's okay..." because that's probably all she's heard from her mom her entire life? Example:

Evan: Mommy, can I run around naked and toot?
LBM: I don't know, but it's okay.

Charlie: Mommy, do you have any money for yogurt?
LBM: I don't know, but it's okay.




Is it just me, or does anyone else feel slightly guilty ragging on the spewgram this week?

ETA: I just can't help myself!!!

HA! They haven't stopped being face-stuffing, superficial, slothful narcissists -- we're simply doing our job to point it out.

SDReadhead: Yes, I did laugh at the pornfolio change, that was funny, so to speak!

Hooray, Boris is back safe and sound.

Hooray for SDGirl87's mom & dad, that their home is okay.

Hooray Hooray, Surfing Texan Family are all okay!

Now we just need Wonkatania to check in with graphic of the FH lardbutt shuffle.

[DreamerGal]

DreamerGal,you forgot to multiply by pie. That completes the perfect mathematical formula.

Dang! That's right! Multiply by banana cream pie! So to speak, of course! :)

[BecInCA]

Hi DC! I've missed all of you! I've been so busy watching the news and the online reports that I've neglected by favorite past time (and vice!). Glad to hear that Surfin Texan is okay. Thanks for the update, Daddy Tex. I don't know if I even have the energy right now to visit FH and LBM's blogs. I might just decide to SKIP them, so to speak, and move one from there.

By the way, my brother's home in East Jamul was miraclously spared. Even though they are still evacuated, they were able to go back and check to see if their home was still standing. Wanna hear the irony? He lives on "Ole Burn Way". Guess they'll be changing the street name to "New Burn Way", so to speak!

Take care all of you! It's been a hell of a week...

[Wabbitsd]

I totally missed "What's that you nay?" LMBO!!! Mathematically, then, since I LMBO, I lost weight. No more edamame for me, I am, so to speak, lighter and brighter because I just think so. I won't be getting highlights done this week, don't need em, too bright already! SDReadhead, I welcome your return! Wonk is probably burning the celluloid making new graphics for us.

And pax, come on back, we need you, too!

Anyone see itzmeTom around? I need him to rein me in sometimes when I go off the wild side. Kid is staying at a friend's house tonight, I think I hear Sad(and so forth 3 times)'s elves pouring wine in the panty with the Bulter. Dang servants keep nipping the cooking sherry.....

[DreamerGal]

Could it be that her songs include "I don't know, but it's okay..." because that's probably all she's heard from her mom her entire life? Example:

Evan: Mommy, can I run around naked and toot?
LBM: I don't know, but it's okay.

Charlie: Mommy, do you have any money for yogurt?
LBM: I don't know, but it's okay.

Or ... how sad is this?

Evan: Mommy, why is Daddy mad at you?
LBM: I don't know, but it's okay.

Charlie: Mommy, why don't you live with us anymore?
LBM: I don't know, but it's okay.

:disa:

[Jammie J.]

:disa:

Oy. Yeah, that's really sad. Since we're on a sad roll, so to speak, anyone remember this entry from LBM's diary?



LBM's Diary
Monday, February 27, 2006 at 1:51pm

Dear Diary,
Fifteen years ago today, on a rainy morning, Dave and I got hitched at a wedding chapel in Hillcrest. 15 years! It's gone by fast and slow and up and down and all which ways, but I would relive it all again. I tell you what, we have quite the story to tell our grandchildren someday. I truly don't think that there's anything that'll bust us up. We've been through it all and some of it twice. The rope that keeps this thing all tied together is love, man, love. It's real, it's true, it's forever.
We're supposed to do dinner somewhere to celebrate, but I bet you money that we'll end up at that house working on something. We were there last night putting in a plastic kitchen floor. I must say it looks super nice! (snip of etc. etc. etc.)

[pax]

Aw, thanks WabbitSD... :)

[DreamerGal]

Aw, thanks WabbitSD... :)

Yay, pax! Welcome back!

[feefifofum]

It's been awhile...
Between a house full of evacuees, a barfing baby, and other drama before all this drama- I am probably 50 pages behind. Glad to hear you're all safe!

[Texasgirl]

I want to convey my appreciation for everyone who contributes to these threads! This week has had many excellent moments:
a. While I could see flames, they were about ten miles away and never came closer. That meant no evacuation for my family, and as far as I know none of my friends or co-workers either.
b. Extra time off work
c. LBM's sad retell of Evan's words did flash me back to a memorable time when my daughter was about three. After I put her to bed, I would stealthily (sp?) sit outside her bedroom door and drink in her little songs as she sang to herself. Nothing recognizable, just a mostly tuneless recount of whatever was on her mind. "I had peanut butter for lunch and took a nap. Lucky cleaned up my milk after I fell off the chair..."

Of course, there is nothing good happens without a dose of some bad:
a. Hubby has had a difficult recovery after his surgery two weeks ago. Ten trips to the ER / hospital, and a long list of tests to find out why he is still in pain. Each and every one of them came out negative(!) and they finally admitted him today for closer monitoring. I will have a lonely night, but it makes me appreciate the fact that he has been home. In the past six years, he has been deployed with the military for at least two. Fortunately, he has been working here for quite awhile. Tex times 3 - thank you for giving up so much to keep our country safe. Our kids are grown and it is difficult enough. Having little ones is so much harder for Mom and Dad.
b. I attended a funeral yesterday for a neighbor. He lost control of his car and then was hit by a drunk driver.

So, reading the stupid antics of the Jeff and Jer crew, and having so many pages of posts to distract me here has made this week easier. Thanks for the caring, concern and just plain laughs!

Oh I recognize those orbs!! One is her dad, another is Tommy's brother Ray, (he's visiting Mr. Hieter at the moment), another is
Tommy's other brother. Not sure what he's doing there.

I bet Laura will recognize them too! Must be a family reunion.

It's the caring that makes life. The laughter is an "add-on." "Texasgirl's" man represents an "American man." Serving his country and the citizens that live here. I'm honored and humbled by his sacrifice...and the sacrifice of so many others.

Texasgirl, when my daughter was three, she would utter the five greatest words in history, each night as she went to bed...."Dada, would you hold me?"

As if "no" was EVER a possibility? Would I hold you?!?!?! I would bleed through my eyes for you...I would lay down my life for you.....I would cease existing for you.....would I hold you???

As parents, we hear questions to which there is never an alternative answer --"Mommy, do you love me?"

"The second you need me my child, my breath will stop to keep you alive."

Flames...houses....things....desires.....goodbye! The whisper and needs of a child or loved one? Hello....and welcome to the world that never ceases to comfort that need.

Texasgirl, you and your man are all that and more!

[Wabbitsd]

not only are those orbs, but maybe laura and evan are, well, you know, setting off personal gas bombs again!

[insightbyjake]

My Mom is in her house!!!! She's SAFE!!!! :cry: The house has some smoke damage and part of her yard is all burned up, but the house is intact and other than being filthy and some minor damage...it's all ok. She sounded so relieved to be in her kitchen with her pots and pans and her favorite fuzzy slippers, after taking a nice long hot shower in her bathroom. Her hubby is delighted to have his big screen tv and comfie leather couch to flop down on. I am so relieved. My Mom is ok :D It's been a tough few days not knowing. Had the house been lost or not...that wasn't the issue. It was the not knowing. Now we know and it's WONDERFUL. Thanks for letting me come here to vent, be distracted and feel a little less frightened and alone. As a single woman with no roomies...this has been a very difficult week and you have all made such a difference. You will simply never know how much. Thank you!!!

:woohoo: :sing: :guitar: :drums: :sing: :woohoo:

"Thanks for letting me come here to vent"

You didn't come here to vent -- you came here to show your heart.

Your mom made a sweet girl...one who places herself outside her own needs and seeks the joyful outcome of others. Wow SDgirl87.... you are deep and connected...and thoughtful....and wonderful.....

You represent this thread......and honor the other 130+ people here...

[Wabbitsd]

jake, that was the gentleman who was trapped in his car, wasn't it? They mentioned it in the news recently? I'm so sorry.

[longtimereader]

OK, PLEASE forgive me for pulling Dilb so to speak in my post earlier today. I hadn't caught up to you all yet.

1. Surfing Texan - So glad to hear baby Tex is still cookin' and you're doing okay. Daddy Tex - welcome home and THANK YOU for serving our great country.

2. DreamerGal - A BIG thank you to your man. We're so fortunate to have such talented and hard working firefighters in San Diego county. Although many homes were lost this week, so many many more were saved.

3. Jake - I'm so happy your house was spared. Thank you for your inspirational posts from a day or two ago, and also for the more recent sarcastic ones. Looks like we're all returning to "normal" life after this crazy week.

[insightbyjake]

I am caustic and critical and sarcastic and biting....but I can NOT ignore the depth of all of you. Wow, when I want to be a "prick," and send a rant....you touch me with your lives.....

How's that? :boxing: (ok now say something mean)

Didn't he make a big point about saying that he had never been to Roadrunner before until he finally went a few weeks ago? And yet he has an old shoebox from Roadrunner?

Roadrunner is a store. They sell shoes by shoe companies. I don't know if there is a Roadrunner shoebox. FH is making stuff up. The shoebox would be Brooks or Saucony or Nike, but not roadrunner. Idiot!

Advanced copy of production meeting for "Breaking and Entering" 2007!

Bob Bolinger: "But, we have thousands of people whose houses have burned down Tommy! How do we 'celebrate' one family?"

Jer: "Here's the deal Bob, the deal is we make the deal the deal. We find a family from Tommy's hometown -- like we've done every year. We find a Chula Vista family...and the deal is, the family is the deal until we announce the family is more than the deal. At that point, the family is the more-than-family-deal and we start to announce the sponsors of all the stuff we deliver to the family."

Bob: "Wait! Why do we do a Chula Vista family every year?"

Jeff: Because nothing says small town-big-city like Chula Vista.."

Bob: "What the hell does that mean?"

Laura: "Evie knows where Vista is! It's near the Courthouse!!"

Randy: "San Elijo Hills is near Vista...they have some good pie-shops!"

Tommy: "Chula Vista has more apartments with 12 or more people in each apartment. It's an easy mark."

Bob: "Don't you think people are catching onto the fact we keep picking families of 6 in one bedroom apartments related to the Sablan family?"

Jeff: "Families of six aren't rare. I have six families of six!"

Laura: I've had families of sex.."

Bob: "We're talking about Breaking and Entering Laura....not just Entering..."

Laura: "Dave wasn't picky about an entrance, was he Tommy?"

Tommy: "I'm just trying to find a safe entrance to my home-site."

Jer: "Do these people have cats? Pam and I want to serve families of pussies...do you have families that want La Jolla swankers that serve pussies?"

Tommy: "I have a family of six...a mom, two kids,a grand-daughter, and a soon-to-be-new-wife that all live in an house in PQ that looks like an apartment, because we also live with a drug-addict-loser-homeless-woman. The kids are stuck there because their dad is dead-beat who makes a shi*load of money but refuses to pay alimony. The dad lives in PQ and has two other kids that hate him, but enjoy the trampoline and skateboard park he built in their yard."

Jeff: "Nothing says love like supplying your kids with trampolines, video-games, shopping excursions with the step-mom, and multiple pets!!!"

Jer: "As long as the pets are pussies!"

Laura: "What's a pet?"

Tommy: "A pet is what poor people in Chula Vista lack. My buddies are going to break into a Chula Vista business, and "steal" the goods for a family on "L" street.

Jeff: "We've looked at families all over the county, and Tommy has found the perfect family on "L" street -- the Sablans of East Chula Vista!!"

Jer: "Amazing!!!! Last year, it was the Sablan family of West Chula Vista."

Laura: "What's the difference between East and West?"

Delana: "Oh my GOD!!!! Why am I still here?!?!?"

Bob: "Don't you think people are catching onto the fact we keep picking families of 6 in one bedroom apartments related to the Sablan family?"

Jeff: "Families of six aren't rare. I have six families of six!"

Laura: I've had families of sex.."

Bob: "We're talking about Breaking and Entering Laura....not just Entering..."

Laura: "Dave wasn't picky about an entrance, was he Tommy?"

Tommy: "I'm just trying to find a safe entrance to my home-site."

Jer: "Do these people have cats? Pam and I want to serve families of pussies...do you have families that want La Jolla swankers that serve pussies?"

Tommy: "I have a family of six...a mom, two kids,a grand-daughter, and a soon-to-be-new-wife that all live in an house in PQ that looks like an apartment, because we also live with a drug-addict-loser-homeless-woman. The kids are stuck there because their dad is dead-beat who makes a shi*load of money but refuses to pay alimony. The dad lives in PQ and has two other kids that hate him, but enjoy the trampoline and skateboard park he built in their yard."

Jeff: "Nothing says love like supplying your kids with trampolines, video-games, shopping excursions with the step-mom, and multiple pets!!!"

Jer: "As long as the pets are pussies!"

Laura: "What's a pet?"

Tommy: "A pet is what poor people in Chula Vista lack. My buddies are going to break into a Chula Vista business, and "steal" the goods for a family on "L" street.

Jeff: "We've looked at families all over the county, and Tommy has found the perfect family on "L" street -- the Sablans of East Chula Vista!!"

Jer: "Amazing!!!! Last year, it was the Sablan family of West Chula Vista."

Laura: "What's the difference between East and West?"

Delana: "Oh my GOD!!!! Why am I still here?!?!?"

oh jake your hilarious. This was exactly what I needed to wake me up at work! thanks!

[iamsheens]

I have some predictions to make....

The next episode of tommytube will be one of the following scenarios....
1. Tommy and Laura will talk about how the fires effected them...on Tommy's bed.

2. They will volunteer at a relief center, by signing autographs to people.

wELL SHOOT...last night I had come up with all this stuff but now I cant remember any of it...I just have a feeling whatever the next episode of tommy tube is it will be more dramatic then it probably should be. I can only hope and keep my fingers crossed that Tommy will show us his shoebox filing system...sounds like a filing system I may need to switch over too...

I also can't wait to see how much weight he has added to his body....he's been eating enough for an army so I imagine it should be noticable...

And one final thing....I have a feeling the fire's will make fh and mooch realize they need to speed this wedding/buying house situation. I see a future wedding....

remember when we did the pools after they got engaged....anyone think that they would hold out this long....


And B.T.W. like always Im glad that everyone is safe and that baby surf tex is okay along with momma and papa tex. Glad your family is able to reunite even if the conditions aren't the best.

And for everyone else who has reported back good news this week Im glad that your okay and safe...hopefully things just continue to go uphill from here and Laura and Tommy become even more remote from this world...although they say and do the stupidest things, if it weren't for them we all wouldn't be here...

Happy Saturday!

[Wabbitsd]

:wavey2: thanks Jake. I know just the shoes to wear with my Dorothy outfit.

I have to make a confession. Until you found your house was ok, I was mathematically deducing that you were Larry Himmel. I can't tell you how relieved I am to know that ain't the case.

Love the script you wrote for the show, thanks for making it easier on them, it's a shame they have to come up with an hour of stuff everyday to fit in between the commercial breaks and the long. drawn. out. (right after the break we will get to) oh, wait, were we supposed to talk about something?

My prediction is Tommy is going to show his real human side and mention how hard it is for his cleaning lady to clean after the fire. It's an inconvenience, of course, but he's trying to relate to the effort she puts into her job. While his friend is giving him a massage.

[Trixie]

Morning!

Predictions for TummyTuba include:

FH remarks that the flower lady won't be delivering fresh flowers until after Turkey Day due to the fires and lack of water to keep the flowers fresh. Instead, flower lady creates silk flower arrangements that cost 3X $$ and Whora over waters them and they get moldy.

Also, due to the fires, Oggies and other local food delivery places aren't able to provide for FH's special orders because they are donating their food to relief workers, none of which are at the SOBlan house.

Whora and Mooch attempt to make meals from scratch, but when they open the pantry, they find a case of top ramen, one jar of peanut butter, and powdered sugar (at least it LOOKS like powdered sugar). The mix it all together and call them Halloween Haystacks and serve them to all the kids. Except they soon realize that one of the kids has a severe peanut allergy, and they have to call 9-1-1 for emergency services to administer the Epi-pen, because all the needles in the house have been emptied by Whora during her pseudo-anti-drug campaign sweep.

And then Rosa calls and asks if someone can drive her to the casino, if they are open for gambling. She survived the evac and wants to press her luck (and money) double or nothing.

Hey everyone, I know what image we can put on the front of our Drama Club Tee Shirts that we all wear at our "invisible friends finally meet and greet" palooza! It's courtesy of Dawnski, who emblazened this beautiful scene in my mind for all eternity: "And a vision of a big giant FH butt shuffling up Iron Mountain" (I love the verb shuffling!)

I was actually thinking we should all wear t-shirts that say...

NO....I'M A BIG DEAL!

[pastherprime]

Here's sending a hug to all whether your days are going well, are very challenged, or somewhere inbetween :hug:

How about if we help Tommy out a little and provide him with a few more annoying (but helpful) phrases for him to rely upon? (The more hypocritical, the better?)

* "And, to be completely honest..."
* "To tell you the truth..."

Bonus: Here's a little something that my mother once exclaimed in a fit of frustration. My best friend and I have gotten (and occasionally still get) a lot of laugh mileage out of it. Maybe Sir Sablan can relate. "Oooh! Tomorrow I am really going to get TOUGH on these thighs."

Happy Saturday, friends. Here's to a KSON sort of day. :cheers:

What I'm about to say isn't too flattering. What I'm about to say is something you may be familiar with or effected by. What I'm about to say has made Michelle sleep on the couch a few times because it happens in the middle of the night and we're both cranky and in a deep sleep. Okay, here I go:I think I'm snoring too loud! Okay, no sugarcoating this: I AM SNORING TOO LOUD!
Michelle and I go to bed hugging and kissing eachother and saying sweet dreams and then an hour or so into it, I become the roommate from hell… FOR ME, snoring comes when my weight is up. When I'm down in my weight I don't believe I snore. Although, I've known some skinny people who snore big time. Michelle doesn't. I do!

I am so afraid of sleeping in the tent at the 3 day because I'm going to wake people up OR I won't get any sleep just so I won't snore. The walk does not scare me at all, but the tents due to my snoring does.
I have no interest in sleeping with that mask that Jeff has!
Some people that are close to me that are married actually sleep in different rooms because of snoring. I don't want to be that way!

Anyway: I have Eddie and Vanessa and one of Vanessa's friends with us this weekend. Michelle's daughter Sydnie is also here and she plays with Erin and Kaitlin next door. Last night, Laura came home and saw the 6 kids all together playing, PLAYING REALLY LOUD. I think it frightened Laura. I think it felt as if the house was taken over by the kids and they declared marshall law within the home. I actually love it when the kids are here. I would rather have a house full of loud kids than a home where you can hear a pin drop.

This morning I'm doing Torrey Pines at 9am and then we're spending the day at KNOTTS SCARY FARM. Tomorrow, I'm with my mom all day long.


Monday we'll have all the information in order about our fundraiser for the victims of the fires!

Next week we have a MYSTERY BAND in studio that will blow you away!

The 3 Day is 2 weeks away.

Sorry for snoring,

Tommy

[pastherprime]

This just in.....

:lmfao:

All of you are so funny. I haven't wanted to take space guffa'ing at each one. But you guys *HONESTLY* crack me up...if you want to know the truth.

:D :D :D :D

[Transplant]

Or ... how sad is this?

Evan: Mommy, why is Daddy mad at you?
LBM: I don't know, but it's okay.

Charlie: Mommy, why don't you live with us anymore?
LBM: I don't know, but it's okay.

i was laughing along just catching up from yesterday afternoon until I read this...

Just a brief bio of me...am going through a divorce after 20 years of marriage and have a loving/caring/compassionate 7 y/o son. It's awful what parents (him) put their children through. I can't tell you the # of times my son has said to me "Daddy says you don't love him anymore and you hate him"...what do you say to that? All i can think of to say is "i love your daddy because he gave me you". It's so hard to make up for the hurtful things that the other parent says and does.

And to realize that LBM is missing out on so much with her children just makes me SAD


Texasgirl, when my daughter was three, she would utter the five greatest words in history, each night as she went to bed...."Dada, would you hold me?"

As if "no" was EVER a possibility? Would I hold you?!?!?! I would bleed through my eyes for you...I would lay down my life for you.....I would cease existing for you.....would I hold you???

As parents, we hear questions to which there is never an alternative answer --"Mommy, do you love me?"

"The second you need me my child, my breath will stop to keep you alive."

Then this one really got to me...Since my son was 2 or 3..our nightly routine has been "Mommy, talk about my day". And I go over from getting up, to what he had for breakfast, to going to preschool, then he has to fill in his day of when we were apart, then onto what we did for the rest of the evening together. It's as if his day is not complete and he can't go to sleep until we dance this ritual during bedtime. And I hope it never stops!

Jakester, your quote of our children needing us and to what ends we will go to to ensure our children's safety, needs and such hits so close to home for me.

Thank you to all of you who show so much caring for each and everyone of us even though we're invisible friends. The reaching out is felt in our hearts and in our souls.

[eyeseeyou]

You know, I am all about moving on and putting some "normalcy" back into our lives after last weeks hell, but I am really pissed that FH "being the big deal he is", with all the money he proclaims to have, why doesn't he ditch Knotts scary farm this weekend and go freaking help these people that don't have homes. Thats great and all they are going to do "The Human Flame" as Boris said next week, but my God....thats next week. These people need stuff now, not between LBM's Daily Dirt, and nose picking celebrities.
He is such a a&$.

[califbrat]

Just a "quickie" here..wanted to say a belated hello to all
Been too busy with family things and taking care of my dad but I had a few spare moments here.
DreamGal.. your man is a hero and & fire warrior! please let him know how much we appreciate him and his fellow warriors.
Daddy Tex. what can we say.. your home safe and taking care of mama tex & baby tex. We can almost feel the love here ..and saying thank-you for keeping us safe overseas seems like such a small amount but it is from our hearts.. from one military family ( hubby retired Navy ) to your home!
Jake ..you keep us on our toes with your wit & caring..

OK, so now his excuse for not "roughing it" with the other walkers will be his snoring? :rolleyes:

Nevermind the mask is a lifesaving device that also makes for a better nights' sleep for the other people in your house. That would be too responsible and considerate (if sleep apnea is his problem...ok, one of his many problems)

ANd yes, FH, I think the walk does scare you...

WHOAH WAIT THE HUMAN FLAME THING IS ACtually happening? I thought you guys were joking....what purpose does the human flame even serve?

or am I being a ditz and its a joke?

I feel like such a blond on here....maybe I should dye my hair blond, like Laura and Mooch...maybe then I will be a big deal like them....ugh I cant even joke about that!

I have been reading this thread for a long time and occassionally make a comment. J&J showgram is a joke. I rearely, if at all, listen to it anymore. This thread has alot more heart and insight into the world than the showgram.
Jake, I am so glad your home and house are okay.

What number am I? Count me in.

[iamsheens]

No...Boris was being funny.:cheers:

Ok whew...I figured it was but then I started doubting myself because I know they've done the human flag in the past... and it wouldnt suprise me for them to do a human flame...considering the connections, money and resources they have its ashame they use it the wrong ways...

and I agree in a time like this how selfish of FH to take a trip to knotts scary farm...his time with his kids could be so much more meaningful if he took them tohelp the victims who have nothing....

a prediction is that he will say he took the kids to a shelter and they donated their time or something to helping families...maybe they will deliver 50 hamburgers....ugh:|

I consider myself a Christian, and truly am a person of faith. I want to say that I am so thankful to God for those who are still safe in their homes and to bless those who aren't so fortunate to have the strength to go forward. And thank God for the wonderful volunteers and people who have opened up their homes to those who are now homeless. My comment is this. Although I do believe in God, I have a real hard time with Christians whom I feel are very hateful and judgmental, especially towards the homosexual lifestyle. I am a gay person and am not ashamed at all who I am as I truly believe I am as God created me. I feel sorry for those who are hateful and so judgmental. Hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I am in my fifties and have lived this lifestyle all my life and wish those who say it is a choice get a clue that is isn't a choice, but we are amongst the children that God created.

I absolutely agree with you....sorta...I think that a lot of religious people are really judgmental, especially on the gay topic. Doesn't the bible tell you not to judge people? I mean its hard not to be judgmental and if someone says that they are never judgmental then they are lying its in our nature to judge someone...

I really don't care if people are gay or not. I am indifferent on the topic. Living in the midwest these past few years has really opened my eyes to how judgmental people are. People here are racist and I don't get it...people here hate gay and lesbians and it makes no sense...I live in the heart of the bible belt and some of the people here are the biggest sinners I've ever came into contact with. I guess Im just lucky that I was raised in San Diego where I am less judgmental of things that aren't always considered the norm. I would hate to have grown up like a lot of people here are...its sad they aren't willing to be open-minded and accepting of people who aren't like them.

Apossible, thanks for sharing your story. I had said earlier this week I am very indifferent on religion but I'm glad that people haven't pushed you away from your religious beliefs. Im sure its been a struggling journey for you at times due to the people who are hateful and judgmental but never stop believing in yourself or loose your faith in god. Im sure he will continue being there for you throughout your journey in life.

Okay, here I go:I think I'm snoring too loud! Okay, no sugarcoating this: I AM SNORING TOO LOUD!...

Oh my HEAVENLY FATHER, GOD, GOSH, GRACIOUS, OR ATHEIST! :ugh: Trixie, I thought you were just making this up. I was procrastinating my real work and decided to do a check. I could NOT even believe that this post was in any way real.

ACRONYM OF THE DAY: TMI For the love of all that is good and decent, TMI on the yucky snoring thing and how it affects your relationship, Tom. Some people really do not know when to put a lid on it.

And, "Michelle and I go to bed hugging and kissing each other and saying sweet dreams and then an hour or so into it"...ICK! PTEWEY! ICK! ICK! AND EWWWWW! I HOPE his children do not read his blog. PLEASE spare them from this. It is so wrong and gross. Is he trying to traumatize them? The last thing I want to be hearing about as a child is anything 'personal' my parent is doing with a non-parent. Do 'whatever' in private and shut up about it.

I also thought the celebrity nose pickers thing was just someone trying to be funny. It almost knocked me out to see such a juvenile attempt at humor on their site. That stuff is so 10-year-old humor. Hmmm..I think I'm on to something. They are letting 5th graders produce the show, aren't they?!?

Thanks for the vent space and allowing the caps (it felt good). Time for a nap. :thud:

I was thinking of judgment the other day. I really hate the judgment rendered by other people toward those I love and toward me, and towards those who are different in color, religion, lifestyle, etc. Then, I thought ... what do I do on this board? Oh, I judge FH and LBM and the others for their silly, self-centered and "all-about-me" lifestyles.

You're right, iamsheens. We're a judgmental lot, we humans. I guess the difference is how we act upon it. Maybe? I'm feeling a bit torn on this topic. Jake? Might you expound on this topic, please?

One of my favorite stories of my daughter is when she was seven. Since kindergarten, she had told me about her friend, Holly. Holly this, and Holly that. We never had Holly over, but she often talked about Holly from school.

One day in second grade, I came home from work and asked my daughter how her day was. She went over her day and then she said, "Oh, and Holly doesn't have to use her wheelchair anymore."

What? I asked her, and she told me that Holly had gotten an operation and didn't have to use a wheelchair anymore.

Not once in the three years that she had known Holly had she mentioned to me that Holly used a wheelchair. I was very proud of my daughter that day and remain so to this day. She didn't see the difference as a critical part of her friend; only that she didn't have to use the wheelchair anymore.

Wow. From the mouths of babes, hmm? I wish the world was more like my daughter.

[DreamerGal]

Oh, and as far as songs go, my daughter had a song about me when she was around 5 years old. I was cleaning my bathroom and heard her singing. I looked out onto the side yard, and there she was sitting in our dog's house, with Brutus, our rottweiler's head in her lap. Sort of singing the blues to the dog ... "My mommy is the meanest mommy in the whole world!"

[DreamerGal]

She also sang nice songs about me ... that day was just one of those days where she was being punished for something and let out her frustrations in song. (Lest you all think I'm bad to the bone!)

[Wabbitsd]

Sop some of us are judgemental. Well, I'm judgmental, but I make good judgements. When folks call themselves Christians and judge...no, you know what, it's not that they just judge, that's not so bad. but when they have to socially ostracize others for their choices...when their choices do not affect them, personally...I may not be gay, but your being gay doesn't affect me--if you are a good human being, you are a good human being. Being heterosexual doesn't give anyone any Free pass cards. Look at FH. I'm assuming he's Hetero..he could be something else, I dunno, but he's not a good person at heart. bottom line. If you are gay and noisy neighbors, I might not like you because you're noisy, but the gayness wouldn't matter. Your choices in your lifestyle are yours. I don't want to see anyone clearing out another person's mouth in public, hetero or gay...but that's just my wierdness. I have various germ phobias that come into play there.

[BigAl]

With everything happening all around, who the h*ll cares about FH's snoring and nasty couch???????????
Well Mooch cares cause she wants a new, custom made, Italian Leather "sofa" to add to her bounty when she dumps him later down the road.

I thought they slept in separate rooms...I mean, how does this work? They go to bed in separate rooms and yet still find a way to hug and kiss each other while falling asleep? Either that or they hug and kiss and then he gets up and goes to the other room and falls asleep and start snoring?

I wish I was a big deal so that I could miraculously hug and kiss my boyfriend from separate rooms too!

Yahoooooo!!! My man said he thought it was going to rain today. He's in Jamul "mopping up," which means he and his crew are going over the area that has burned and dumping water on all of the hot spots. He said the fire is still burning, but it looks like it's getting to containment status. He's due home tomorrow.

I cannot wait!!! I'm cleaning the house and trying to keep distracted until my baby gets here. He is such a wonderful guy, and his absence in my days has been just torture.

How did I get so lucky to meet him? I don't know but I'm not going to question it and I certainly will spend all my days letting him know how I appreciate him. I've also told him about all of you and your thanks and prayers. Humble as he is, he is grateful for your support. Thank you all for everything this week. Uhoh, I'm starting to cry ... Lots of love to you all. And, again, thank you so very much.

[califbrat]

aww..don't cry dreamgal..and if we don't hear from you for a few days... duh.. we know why!! you love him up like crazy! if I see smoke commming from across our our cross streets .. I'll know its you.. hehe
all kidding aside so thankful that we have such a great board here that really cares and will be here no matter what!

[califbrat]

can we do a happy dance out in the rain?
yes you sound so much like me.. I'm a cleanner too. so do everything today..get distracted and have a homecomming he will never forget..sounds like you two were just made for each other!

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Grey skies over Lemon Grove - and it's not smoke! I was out driving at noon-time and it was sprinkling big fat drops of RAIN on my windshield. It didn't last long - but every little bit of moisture helps!

DreamerGal, you go ahead and enjoy having your guy back tomorrow. Make sure he knows that we all think he's a hero and thank him for what he did to keep us safe...

Waiting for my son to come home from an unexpected outing with his dad (my ex) - I'm not used to having alone time on a weekend...it's weird! I think I'll go take a walk around my neighborhood :)

:ptlaugh: J & J, FH, & LBM, for example

I knew you would help me with that, Jake. Thanks.

And thanks to you too, Wabbit. You put into words what I was trying to say.

[insightbyjake]

The idea that "Judgment" is strictly a pejorative term misses the reality of being human. We're "vertical" creatures. Think about it. "High-rise" buildings, "chain of command," "top of the line," "top brass," "top dog," "bottom of the ladder," bottom of the barrel," ....etc.

We have Top-Ten lists, Top 100 movies, Billboard rankings, the BCS football poll, Arbitron rathings, Academy Awards, Nobel Prizes...... -- all of these are a "judgment" of sorts. Heck, the "Judgment at Nuremberg" certainly was well-received.

Another phrase that seems to be limited to a negative connotation
is "discriminate." It is supposed to mean one recognizes qualities and differences, and then makes choices based upon that recognition.

When we "negatively" discriminate, we are corrected. However, if I choose Coke over Pepsi, I'm still discriminating.

What we do here in this thread is, "judging" the performance of entertainers. We mock the fact that who they "project" they are on-air, seems so inconsistent with their behaviors and comments.

J & J, and Tommy are "good" at what they do. They know how to "run" a radio show. Their ideas, stories and "bits" are often lame, and their radio-presented attitudes toward life are puzzling at best. That is the limit to our judgment.

I wouldn't doubt Laura Cain's love for her kids. But I will mock her lack of priorities (based, again, on what she says or writes).

On a slightly more serious note, many people who judge "ordinary" folk (sticking with the judment toward gays, as mentioned earlier in the thread), do so because they, themselves are flawed.

Knowing we're flawed is uncomfortable, so we palliate that discomfort by lowering others.

Why? Because it's easier than removing our own flaws. "I may be ____ (insert criticism), BUT I'm not as bad as _____ (insert person perceived to be worse)"


I personally, deeply resent someone attaching tenents of my faith -- to their hatred. You want to "hate" gays? Do it on your own damn dime! Make your case your's! Don't pretend you're some sort of a prophet or voice of the Almighty.

The end.

Special for Tummy: Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than going to the garage makes you a car. (You may insert the religion of your choice, I chose mine.) TMI, I know.

Many "religious" people know very little about true faith...and I hold to judge not lest ye be judged. Jake, Dreamer and others...you get it. Pax, no harm no foul.

Parting thought: If talking about God makes the atheists uncomfortable, and not talking about God makes the people of faith uncomfortable...why is one more "right" than the other? To each his own - peace and love to all.

[listener13]

A couple of things.....FH snoring - every day, he becomes more and more of a dreamboat to me. Moochelle - I'll fight you for him.........

The other day, Jeff was doing his hokey "San Diego is the biggest small town city on the planet" schpeel - he's a caracature of a caracature. He's more of a "church of what's happening now" preacher than a "radio personality". After he's done with the show, he should open his own missionary.

Nothing ever changes with this losers........

Hey guys, checking in late, but I was evacuated on Monday - got back in on Wednesday. I also work as a "first responder" so I'm pretty much just working and sleeping these days.

I know this was posted a while back, and I'm sorry I forgot who posted, but it was about someone shooting their Dad's dogs.

I just wanted to say, that it may not have been a cruel or deviant act, but rather someone acting out of mercy.

I won't go into sad/grim details, but I've heard some pretty tragic tales about animals that were turned loose during the Cedar fires, and how they suffered. If someone saw the dogs running loose, they may have thought they had been left behind to fend for themselves.

Unfortunately, many animals panic. They run away from help, and straight into danger. Even the sweetest tempered dog or cat can attack when they are under that kind of stress. It is never an easy position to be in, if you are the one who encounters an animal on the run.

If your Dad chooses to report it, he needs to contact animal control, they would handle a possible "cruelty to animal" report.

Take care everyone.

[YoungAmerican]

Michelle and I go to bed hugging and kissing each other and saying sweet dreams.

I'm sorry but that is about the most disgusting thing I have ever read. Honestly, how low will Mooch go for her payoff. No amount of $$ in the world would make me kiss that fat slob.

[SDGirl87]

Water falling from the sky in Normal Heights. The air smells of charcoal and hot dogs, not of someone's house and 'stuff' going up in flames. I am so very thankful.

Dreamergirl...please, if you can spare one hug for your sweetie from all of us...make it a good long hard one. Make him feel the gratitude, and deep respect we have for him and all of his brothers. Make it convey the passion that we feel deep inside for our heros. Then look him square in the eye and on behalf of all 130 of us here...say thank you.

Then he's all yours :)

When we left our house at 11:15 on Monday morning to flea to the Bay Area all we took were clothes for a few days the dogs and persription medications. I am a widow and we left behind my late husbands momentos, family photographs and the letters that my late husband and I sent to each other when we were dating. As we were driving to the Bay Area with my 2 sons (19 & 9), daughter (15)and 2 dogs (13yrs and 8months old) kids and I talked about how we would feel if we came back and all of our stuff was destroyed. All of us said it woudn't matter as long as we were togther and the dogs were safe.

How lucky can I get??? There was nothing in our house that we needed that badly. We are happy to be home, but we just appreciated our family more.

[GGmami]

She also sang nice songs about me ... that day was just one of those days where she was being punished for something and let out her frustrations in song. (Lest you all think I'm bad to the bone!)

I'm sure all the parents can relate. I've found that when my daughter is mad at me it's usually because I am being a good parent. The easy thing to do (to make your child happy) usually isn't what is best for them. Something LBM needs to learn...your children need a mom, not just a friend.

EEK! There's a house at the end of my street on fire!! Seriously!! LOL (ok, not funny, but it kind of is!)

I'm sitting here at my desk looking out the window at the smoke and fire trucks putting out the fire! GOODNESS!! (I live on a short street)

Just a run-of-the-mill house fire? Or part of the chaos that has been the past week?

Scary!!!!

Hope everyone is okay....

[SDGirl87]

It's apparently an upper floor apartment in a small complex. I thought it was empty but they pulled someone out...so who knows. Not related to the wild fires...just bad timing.

Count me in. Here is one of my favorite quotes:
"There is no conclusive evidence of life after death. But there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will know. So why fret about it?"

I do believe in good and evil. Was the origin God? I don't know, but I think an individual's actions indicate where they fall on the spectrum.

Welcome back NewAgeGoddess!! It's great to hear you came back to your home and all the wonderful memories that your family has there!

[mamalellie]

Where did Wonk go? Does anyone PM him? I hope he is OK. Wait...is Wonk a man? Do we know? I just assumed he was but maybe call me dil...or Ash-head or ditzy blond.

[Texasgirl]

Just a brief bio of me...am going through a divorce after 20 years of marriage and have a loving/caring/compassionate 7 y/o son. It's awful what parents (him) put their children through. I can't tell you the # of times my son has said to me "Daddy says you don't love him anymore and you hate him"...what do you say to that? All i can think of to say is "i love your daddy because he gave me you". It's so hard to make up for the hurtful things that the other parent says and does.

Transplant, here is something which really helped me find out what my kids were thinking when we were going through a hard time when they were little. This worked better with the 3-year-old, but my 7-year-old son spoke his thoughts also. At bedtime, I would tell "Melinda stories" about a little girl who just happened to be going through the same things which were happening at our house. I was completely transparent with my daughter. "What did Melinda tell her doggie when she heard Daddy yelling and slamming the door?" (which had happened that afternoon.) I added a few more layers with my son, but it still worked well. I could also work in comforting words and some explanations. "Her mama wanted Melinda to know that even when grown ups get angry, their job is to keep their little ones safe..."

It is worth a try!

[mamalellie]

Or maybe Wonk is an elf! Where is SadX3? She would know.

[QUOTE=apossible]


Apossible, thanks for sharing your story. I had said earlier this week I am very indifferent on religion but I'm glad that people haven't pushed you away from your religious beliefs. Im sure its been a struggling journey for you at times due to the people who are hateful and judgmental but never stop believing in yourself or loose your faith in god. Im sure he will continue being there for you throughout your journey in life.


Iamsheens, thank you so much for your response. It means alot to me.

Isn't this thread just wonderful. And through an unfortunate way, the terrible fires, we have all learned a little more about each other. Interesting how things work.

Now, if only FH could get a clue about life. He is so creepy and disgusting. And Laura, I put her and Brittany right next to each other. So alike, so sad.

[Layla]

Can I sneak in and interrupt to request all of you to pray light a candle, or wish real hard whatever it is each of you does, for my sister.

I got a call today that she hit a semi truck yesterday and has three fractured vertabrae. She recently lost her job (she's in mortgage, the industry is falling apart), is upside down on her house and has no medical insurance. The hospital gave her a brace and some pain meds and sent her home. She's 34 and a single mom to three.

Shes' also, in Corona, where the fires have now spread. I'm hoping with all my hope that she does not have to evacuate.

Please just say a little prayer for her and her kids.

Thank you all.

[mamalellie]

Layla,
So sorry to hear about your sister. I will definitely say a prayer for your sister, her kids and for you, too. You have come to a good place to get prayers and loving thoughts from all the DC Members.
Heavenly Father, Please be with Layla, her sister and her children during this difficult time and wrap your loving arms around them. You are a loving God. :angel:
In Jesus' name, Amen

Layla -- have done and will continue to. thanks for calling on us to mobilize in whatever way we practice.

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Layla - I will keep your Sister in my thoughts and prayers.

I, too, work in the mortgage industry and it's scary. Luckily I work for a company that is *very* conservative and doesn't do a lot of sub-prime or risky loans. We (so far) have been able to avoid the layoffs that are so cyclical in our business. Knock on wood.

Does your sister have car insurance that may cover some of her expenses? Especially the medical part....

Wishing her and her kids all the best :)

[pastherprime]

to Layla and the rest of you who are facing major challenges, my thoughts and hopes are truly with you. I wish I had the power to change things for others. I'm sorry and I wish for each of you serenity, strength, and 'magic' that defies logic (miracles?).

Giving is a wonderful feeling because it means that I can be grateful that I am in the position to be giving vs. having to be taken care of. I plan to always give and hopefully make someone else's tragedy a little less painful. Or even to surprise them by making their entire day.

[shello]

I can see it coming so I will call it now.

You know how FH says he's never blown out candles and had anyone sing Happy Birthday to him? And you know how until this week he's never sat down and eaten a meal at his dining room table? (Yes, we all know that's crap and a dig at his ex wife). I predict that he will say that he and Moochelle (TGKAM=The Growth Known as Michelle) have bought a pumpkin and are carving it...the first time he's ever done carved a pumpkin. (but since he reads this board maybe he won't say it. But is sure sounds like FH)

Also, will someone tell FH that it is Miramar (one word..which he should know as he's lived here his whole life) and that eachother is two words. He makes me want to vomit.

[cheekymonkey]

FH's quote:
Michelle and I go to bed hugging and kissing eachother and saying sweet dreams and then an hour or so into it, I become the roommate from hell


This makes me want to take my eyeballs out of my head and wash them over and over. Just the image this conjures up makes me ill.

At least it's a distraction for the tragedy San Diego has endured. However, with all the tragedy, why isn't fathead giving us a break? And the fact that Amused has told us Vanessa reads his blog makes me wonder more about him.


I bet many folks would love to :bonk: to get some sense into him!

Oh well, off to bed. GO CHARGERS!!

Hi OKODM,

I work in Mortgage too. I've been lucky enough to get into a good broker shop after the wholesaler I worked for went under. She was working for GreenPoint, so it was a big surprise to all of us!

As for car insurance, I hope so. I've got more questions than answers right now, and have not been able to speak to her. My mom is flying in today to help wth what she can, so hopefully she can get all of the details we need to start helping to fix this mess as much as we can.

Thank you all for your kind words and your prayers and positive energy.

[Amused]

Jake, I'm glad you and your daughter are safe and settled.

Transplant, I sent you a PM and am glad your son is doing well.

SurfingTex, I'm so happy that the baby is still baking! I hope your Mom and kids are enjoying their getaway and soooo happy to hear that your husband is home to take care of you. Bed rest is impossible when you have to chase the littles.

DreamerGal thank you for the fire information last week. I felt so disconnected up here.

All of your posts and thoughtfulness and unity were very inspiring. It's nice to see people who are genuine and caring. What a refreshing change.

[Amused]

I can see it coming so I will call it now.

Shello, you're a quick study! You're right, he'll use your tidbit, just as he's been passive aggressively making food comments in his blob about over eating. It's his jab at all of you. He's ridiculous. FH= Tubby Sablob

FH blew out candles every year on his birthday, when we were married. I have photos but can't bring myself to dig it out. LOL

As for eating at the dinner table... the kids and I have always dined at the table for every meal. FH would join us on occasion but he would generally eat by himself in another room. Nice guy, huh. He wasn't into the "family thing". Hopefully he'll be a better husband and father to his new brood. I seriously doubt it though. Leopards don't change their spots.

Mooch sleeping on the sofa... Nasty... doesn't she know that he was with a pole dancer. LOL After the activity that he's had in his house I wouldn't even sit on it fully dressed, let alone put my face on it. I'll bet she broke out with terrible acne within hours!

Pumpkin carving was something that I did with the kids. I can honestly say that he probably doesn't know how. The lid would probably fall through because he's a genious that way. You should see our photo albums from when we were married, he's not in any of the photos. It's like I was a single mother that had immaculate conception. LOL

Thought I should mention Pete & I split several weeks ago, sad but necessary. So if you don't hear me mention him, that's why. I'm back on the dating scene and I can honestly say I'm enjoying it this time.

Hope your weekends have been relaxing!

Amused, glad to read you back on the DC. So sorry to hear of you and Pete. Never an easy time to say goodbye to a love, but especially during the last week of stress. I'm glad you're okay.

Is Amanda back in town or still on her honeymoon? I'm sure she was stressed about her home. Hopefully, if she's still vacationing, she and her honey are able to have blissful time without worrying about home.

Layla, prayers are going your way for your sister and family.

My man is supposed to be home today. Waiting for his paperwork to go through. I've gotta go shopping so I can make him a wonderful chicken pot pie. I can't wait to hold him again.

And those firefighters are so humble, aren't they, Amused? That's what struck me when a table of men wanted to buy my guy and his crew a round of drinks. They couldn't have a beer, which they REALLY wanted, but they just humbly said thank you whe the men were going on and on about what they do and what they've done for us in past fires.

I was struck at what heroes I was sitting with. Goosebumps!

[iamsheens]

Last night I was having dinner at Sammy's in Del Mar with a girlfriend and a dozen firefighters walked in. The entire restaurant applauded them, it was very heartwarming!

thats a great story, it sounds like something right out of movie...something you'd probably see in a movie and think "like that would really happen in real life"

Well Im glad that sorta stuff does...its great how people are showing there thanks...it makes me happy to know that among all the "big deals" in this world, the true big deals are actually getting the applause...and thanks

Although since Tommy reads this he will probably walk into a 7-11 or something and someone who listens to the show will applaud him for all the great things he has done....god I hope no one does that.:puke:

[Wabbitsd]

I get the biggest kick out of FH thinking he "Gets" anyone with what he does or doesn't eat. yeah, wow. that's so hurtful, him lying about things. I may walk around with the back of my hand on my forehead all day over that one. When the diabetes kicks in for him, as it seems it has for several in his family tree, he'll get that last laugh he is looking for.

[listener13]

that's so hurtful, him lying about things.

The thing about FH is that lying is so ingrained in him, he doesn't think he's lying. Lies are his truths. He seriously believes all of the statements that come out of his peabrain because he wouldn't know a truth if it bit him on his enormous, routund ass.

As far as that sofa at FH's go - I wouldn't sit on it (no less lay on it) without a tetnus booster.

[NewAgeGoddess]

I am moving from a 5 bedroom house to a 3 bedroom townhouse in a couple of months. I will need to get rid of some furniture. I was thinking there may be people affected by the fires that could use what I have. If you know anyone that needs any of the following items please PM me. I give these away now,

-sofa (blue and white striped
-loveseat (blue and white striped
-coffee table (oak)
-kitchen table (light wood)
-2 chest style twin beds (dark brown wood)
-kids dresser (dark wood)
-buffet (light wood)
-Piano (upright, antique)

[NewAgeGoddess]

All the furniture is FREE.

[PQ Gal]

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who have lost homes and/or been displaced this week. I was in New Orleans all week (planned vacation) and had to watch it all on the news. I live near Tummy, Arucauna Way, and no damage at all just lots of soot and bad air.

Monday in New Orleans is rained 8 inches and the place flooded and basically shut down. I told my husband and our friends (who's home is in Stoneridge in Poway and escaped fire too, 2 house down burnt though) that our theme song for the week should be James Taylor Fire and Rain.

I was worried what might happen next!

If anyone needs anything please don't hesitate to ask us all here. I have furniture and clothes and kitchen items I am more than willing to give away to anyone who needs it.

Amused, so nice to hear your story about the firefighters getting a standing ovation. The people in New Orleans all where so understanding and sent their prayers and thoughts out to all of San Diego, they can certainly understand better than anyone else can. We saw Winton Marsalis's dad Ellis play jazz at Snug Harbor and he played a special piano jazz number just for the people in San Diego.

I have to say that San Diego is really a special town and everyone has been so supportive of all the people who have been displaced or lost homes, I am proud to live here.

Of course Tummy will now have one more month before the 3day due to the postponement as a result of the fires, so we will have to hear about it for another 30 days...........

Amused, sorry to hear about Pete, you are a strong women for knowing when to do the right thing, I know the right person is out there for you! You deserve nothing but the best. Bet we don't hear so much about Tummy and Moochele getting married anymore now that he will not need to beat you to the altar, should be interested!!!!

[shello]

Hi all,

Most of us are doing okay right now but a few of us are not and I want to echo that I am thinking about ya'll and wishing goodness and happiness your way...

1. Layla-I too am sorry about your sister and will keep my fingers crossed for her speedy recovery.

2. Amused-I am sorry about you and Pete. I know it hurts but you have kind and loving folk around you to get you through. Also glad Amanda's house was okay and hope she was able to enjoy her honeymoon without worrying about stuff back home.

3. While I have not read every sentence of every post I believe Surfing Texan is still taking it easy which is a great thing.

4. Still have not seen anything from Wonkatania who I thought was a female. Also, I have missed itzmetom as well.

Take care all.

GO Chargers!

What a tribute to our heroic firefighters!

[iamsheens]

Sunday October 28, 2007 12:30pm: I just got up and out of bed and finally checked email. I was down and I believe I have the flu, so I’m in bed all day. Michelle has been helping out so much with some house stuff and the kids that I feel bad for getting a little irritated with her last night in a big way.

Okay, so we go to Knotts Scary Farm with about 6 kids and Michelle and me! 8 people total. Eddie is the youngest! We get in to the place and immediately scary people are jumping in our face to scare us. It takes us about 2 minutes when my little boy holds my hand and wants nothing else other than to leave the place. Eddie’s my boy. Eddie is 100% dude, but last night he was my little boy who wanted to get out of that place and held my hand tighter and tighter than ever before. It was cute. It took me less than a second to know, I was going to take Eddie out and just wait for everyone outside and in the car. I texted the gang and Michelle saying to take their time and have fun while Eddie and I just walked around. It was a tough crowd. The crowd was like the fans at a Raider game IN OAKLAND. So, Eddie and I just walked, ate, and talked.

4 hours go by and Michelle and Vanessa and the group of kids were still in the park having fun. Michelle was so nice to go in and stay in while I was out. She made sure the kids were okay AND got the living heck scared right out of her. It’s 10:30pm and I finally text Vanessa and Michelle, “hey can we go now”……Vanessa was fast to respond and to say, “not now Dad”……Then I responded by saying “okay, no problem’….ONE HOUR LATER, I text back saying OKAY, LETS GO and I was ignored. Little did I know that Michelle’s phone was dead and that Vanessa being the 12 year old she is, blew off my messages. ANOTHER HOUR GOES BY and that’s 6 hours gone by and I’m just waiting for them and nobody responds to me. Vanessa finally calls me back after I sent a bunch of text messages saying I wanted to go and to allow me to wait in the car for 6 hours was rude. I’m feeling the flu coming on, so I’m really irritated. THEY STILL DON”T COME. Then I start being a D-I-C----! I start texting them saying they have 10 minutes to get there. THEY FINALLY GET BACK TO THE CAR and I’m really mad at ALL OF THEM. Looking back at it the next morning, I’m lauging about it and WE are all laughing about it, but it did blow to wait in the car for 6 plus hours, but it’s over now.

YESTERDAY at Torrey Pines was a good walk. There were about 20 of the regulars and it was a nice walk after the fires. I think we’re back to normal with working out.

Today, I’m not feeling well, so it is best that I don’t see my mom. Getting my mom sick is not good.

Today, I am grateful for my sister Rose and for Michelle. They really helped me out a lot today. Michelle is poking fun at me saying I just have the flu, but I’m acting as if I’m dying. J I guess it’s a guy thing.

So, I am feeling sick, but thank God for Michelle and my sister to help me out this weekend.

Go Chargers:

34-17!

[Texasgirl]

Layla,
If your kids are in school, the counselor may be a great resource to hook your sister up with services and other things that will aid in her recovery. It is worth a try.

[Luv2hike]

Well, it's been some week for everyone! We were very lucky, only evacuated for 1 day, and came back to find our whole neighborhood intact (unlike the last time when over 150 homes in our development were lost. I'm not a very religious person, but definitely feel that "someone" was watching over me and protected my house twice now. I've been busy volunteering plus had to work on Wednesday and Thursday. It's taken a few days to catch up on all the postings. Glad to hear almost all of the regulars have checked in and still have their houses and "homes". Wow, Jake, that was some scare, but happy that everything is now fine. Like everyone else, I'm anxious to hear from Wonk.

For those of you who are in direct contact with fire victims, please forward them the following link:

http://www.caoc.com/CA/index.cfm?event=showPage&pg=SoCalFireLegalHelp

So far, the list contains a total of 5 attorneys making their services available for free. Many of my neighbors found it helpful, and sometimes necessary, to hire an attorney to deal with their insurance companies and protect their interests. The site also contains numerous other helpful links for those unfortunate people who have lost their homes.

I hope this information is helpful.

Ok...1) If it was such a tough crowd as to be compared to the Oakland crew...why on earth did ANY of them stay in? A 12 year old is safe in that environment, even WITH an adult??? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

2) The ONLY minute tiny bit of praise I can muster up is that at least the girls weren't let go to walk around the park without an adult, even if the adultness is only chronological. As for the phones dying...the moment my phone went out, as the adult I'd be saying...ok...we're done here...let's go. The fact that a 12 year old ignored text messages from a parent is not surprising. What IS surprising is that the texting went on for a while...and the ADULT in the group didn't realize to check the 12 year old's phone to check in with those in the car...so maybe the girls WERE let on their own. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I just got back from Mom's. It was such a sad drive from my house in Normal Heights to Fallbrook. The fires came extremely close to Mom's house. My heart aches for what I saw. I took my camera, but frankly I don't want pictures of it. I will never forget. I drove by a few tankers putting out some hot spots and honked my horn like crazy and waved like a mad woman. They got my message :D

And the Chargers won. All in all, not a bad day in America's Finest City. We may be bruised, but by golly there's no where else I'd rather be.

[BigAl]

So, a 12 year old can run wild and it's ok now. I won't even let my 15 year old do that. The cell phone thing is ridiculous. Once Comm stops then everyone had better get back to home base.

[BigAl]

More of the garbage of trying to be their friends rather than a parent.

[Amused]

Eddie got scared and FH took him out of the park, they ate and hung out while 3 neighbor boys (Eddie's friends) Vanessa and her girlfriend and Michelle went into the park. Michelle's phone died and FH is so obsessive compulsive that he was texting Vanessa every 5 minutes and so she stopped answering him because they became abusive. Swear words were involved on his part. So when he says he was being a penis, he was. Michelle read the text messages and apparently she and Vanessa did some bonding as to how abusive he really is. Things are not as he portrays them in paradise. (Big surprise). Apparently she is not thrilled with his abuse and is fully aware of his lying and is extremely put off by the lying in his blobs. In fact, she told Vanessa that she makes him edit them in front of her. (How's that for trust) Nice way to start a marriage. Vanessa said, "He must be doing drugs Mama!" How's that for insight. His behavior was so erratic that Vanessa told him he was acting bi-polar. So in front of 6 kids inside his truck he and Michelle had a full on blow out argument, him swearing and all. :argue: (Isn't that special). So now he's down and out, probably coming down as usual and had Michelle drive the kids up today. Michelle continued to complain to Vanessa about the lying in the Tubby tube and then in the next sentence would tell Vanessa, "Isn't the new house going to be great, it has so many bedrooms!" What a FREAK! Some people don't mind selling their soul to the Devil. :angry:

I just wanted to make it very clear that the kids were supervised and if FH had a problem he should have checked into a hotel or taken Eddie to do something fun instead of sitting in a parking lot for 6 hours. FH... what are you thinking? Again, Father of the Year.

[pax]

Oy vey, Amused.

[BebeSD]

Holy cow, Amused. How do you keep it together, knowing that this is what your kids go through when they're not with you?? What a ridiculous sham of a man/fiance/father. Kudos to you for maintaining sanity!!

[PQ Gal]

What was he thinking, oh my bad, he wasn't thinking only caring about Tummy and no one else.

Sounds like Moochelle is on to his ways but still has $'s in her eyes. You would think the showgram would try to do something to help Tummy, but then how can they when they ALL NEED MAJOR HELP. A big bunch of enablers.

So glad we have you Amused to give us the real story on these blogs. Vanessa is one amazing young lady and your influence has been so vital for her and obviously made such a difference in her life.

Tummy if you are still reading our blogs "GET IT TOGETHER AND GET HELP, if not sooner or later it will be court mandated, probably by Moochelle since she has connections that way."

[iamsheens]

Wow Mooch really is a mooch....I mean why would you allow yourself to go into a marriage knowing your soon to be husband is a liar and verbally abusive? I just don't think I could justify the money for everything else I'd have to deal with....a gold digger at her finest...part of me felt bad for Mooch as I read what amused wrote but then by the end of the paragraph I didn't feel bad because she is so focused on the money nothing will stand in the way...I mean obviously because she is being intimate with him and no amount of money in this world would make me want that type of relationship with him *no offense to you amused*

Anyways once again Mooch and FH prove they are meant to be....

Anyways I've been writing papers for school all day...I'm down to my last one and its so difficult, is it bad I have no motivation to finish it? I guess I should suck it up and get back to work!

[iamsheens]

oh and if I were Eddie I would have been pissed because there is so much to do in the knotts berry farm area...they could have went to medieval times or ripley's believe it or not...just cause he was scared doesn't mean he should have been punished....you're right amused he does deserve father of the year.....

[pastherprime]

What M is getting with Tommy reminds me of a quote from the movie "There's Something about Mary."

Mary: I want a guy who can play 36 holes of golf, and still have enough energy to take Warren and me to a baseball game, and eat sausages, and beer, not lite beer, but beer. That's my ad, print it up.

Brenda (Mary's friend): "Fatty who likes golf and beer." Gee, Mary, where are you gonna find a gem like that?

There has to be someone for everyone? Her ad would need to read:
"Fatty who likes football, food, and beer who lies, is abusive and needs too much attention." That's pretty specific--kind of a tall order don't ya think?

Here's my personal ad..."Seeking loyal, fun, sweet but protective, hairy guy." Whaddya know? The Humane Society just called and said they have my perfect match.

Hi to all, I'm stopping by once again on behalf of my wife. I've come to our house to gather a scrapbook of our relationship, and photos of our children for inspiration. My beautiful wife is suffering dangerously low blood pressure among other medical problems, but will not allow her doctors to deliver our baby because her lungs are so under developed. Please send prayers our way if you can spare a few extra minutes. Thanks to all --"DaddyTex"--

[BigAl]

Remember now, that Mooch has her eye on a bigger prize...$$$$$ in a divorce settlement with all the gifts too.
Then both FH and LBM will have to crash....at Jerry's big pad in LJ. Yeah, like the Jer would even go for that....

[WhoMe]

Did the car somehow lock him in?? He chose to be there with his son. There is a TON of stuff near Knotts...how about Po Folks Diner..I know he loves to EAT. There is a theater in downtown Disney how about a movie? And really, geez, would you allow your fiancee to take four kids around Knotts alone in a "tough crowd"?? I haven't done the "scary farm" since I was a teenager (suffice to say MANY years) but if the crowd is that rough I would have called it a night and done something else. Disney? Medieval Times? The wax museum?

Dearest Baby Tex...sweetheart, you aren't ready yet honey. I know you're anxious to come on out and meet your hero Daddy and look into the eyes of your precious Mommy who protected you so fiercly during the storms, but it's not time yet honey. You still need a few more weeks to make your lungs strong enough to take the smoky air, and Mommy needs a few more weeks to feel better. Believe me Eleanor, you are more than loved and wanted. You are treasured and cherished and once it's time, we will all be in awe of you. Can you hang on just a little while longer? Let Mommy get some rest. Let Daddy get his bearings back here with you. I promise you sweet girl, it'll be worth it. Your Daddy has asked us for prayer, and I for one, will do just that...for all 3 of you. You must be one special little girl. You're already making such a huge impact on your world. Stay inside a little longer precious. We'll wait.

With love,
"Auntie Girl"

Oooh Daddy Tex prayers and positive thoughts for you and baby Tex. Hang in there!

[GGmami]

Daddy Tex, I was already praying for your family and I will continue to do so. Please keep us informed and know that there are a lot of people here who are willing to help if you ever need anything...just ask. Thank you for your service to our country.

[iamsheens]

Awww poor mom, and baby tex...I hope everything ends up being okay. I can't even imagine being in that situation but momma tex is a strong one, hopefully baby tex can be just as strong and prolong the arrival...my thoughts are with the family...I imagine thats a scary situation to be in...let's all hope for the best!!!

[apossible]

Last night I was having dinner at Sammy's in Del Mar with a girlfriend and a dozen firefightes walked in. The entire restaurant applauded them, it was very heartwarming!


The other day I was at a stoplight and a firetruck was driving by. I applauded them and they waved back. What heroes they are.:wavey2:

[BebeSD]

We are praying for you, family_tex! I truly hope surfin is keeping her spirits up, and that the little girl gets strong enough to make her debut in healthy style! Take care!!

[Swifty]

Surfing Texan...you and your family...my thoughts are with you...I have positive thoughts it will all be ok and you can bring a beautiful baby Eleanor home...

Keeping you all in our prayers, so sorry you and your wife are having to go through this.

[Wabbitsd]

Let's say I give Moochie the bennie of the doubt...she really thinks she and her SECRET can fix FH and straighten him out. Anyone who knows this chick, was her ex abusive? her Dad? It's been said she has family that gets involved in her life...why aren't they crowbaring her out of that mess NOW!!!

And for Moochie to discuss that kind of adult stuff with Vanessa, geemanee! Just what Vanessa needs. She gets to be a confidante to her Dad's sofa sleepin pal.

I didn't realize it was a SECRET that Knotts Berry Farm was a crazy hangout for Raider Fans on Halloween...heck. It's that way any weekend of the year!

Great one, too, FH, telling the world your 12 year old was scared...nice. He'll probably get to hear about THAT one for a long time.

Well put! To the whole Tex family -- all your DC "Aunties" and "Uncles" are pulling for you!

[mamasterls]

Knotts says that the Halloween Haunt "is not recommended for children under 13". Well, I guess they were right! It is advertised as "adult Halloween entertainment". I guess FH does not pay attention to things like that. Eddie's only 10? No wonder the poor thing was scared!

There are plenty of really well done haunts here in San Diego that don't cost $51 a pop which are at least recommended for ages 10 and up.

[PRINTER]

I hate that Tummy is able to lie and get away with it on the J&J website. So, maybe if we emailed THIS site to as many people as we can we could get the REAL word out and he'd HAVE to quit lying.
If they have some kind of fundraiser I will not participate. There are plenty of other groups and stations that I would rather support. Our family attended one of the station's BIG EVENTS and it was a nightmare! It was terribly disorganized which frustrated everyone in attendance and caused discord among all of us who were there with good intentions. THEN, many of us had arrived in the wee hours of the morning but the spewgram folks were limo'd in just minutes before 6:00 a.m. and acted like "we" had all been there all night. They were unapproachable except when they were on the air, then they would grab someone from the among the listeners and "interview" them (coached by Tummy ahead of time) and make it all "touching" and "feel good". PLEASE DO NOT BE SWAYED by these "snake oil salesmen" to go to thier fundraiser. Give your time, energy and money where it will ONLY do good...not to something where the spewgram rides the coat tails of a tragedy to promote themselves as "do-gooders".

[MissThany]

Tex Family,
You are absolutely in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for taking the time to keep us all updated-it feels good to know you think of us as a little part of your family.

Amused,
I was hoping you'd fill us in on the "real" Knott's Scary Farm experience. Thank you for the information. I don't know why it continues to surprise me. Of course, I always hope that the "drug user and on probation with CPS" in my family will decide to not get high and instead spend time with his son and I am surprised when he doesn't. Or when he doesn't even call to see if his son was safe in the fires this last week. When you live such a self centered life, there isn't room for anyone else. Even if they are 10 (or 3, in my case) and helpless.

[wanky]

Surfing Tex and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I knew Amused would give us the real scoop since Tummy tends to leave out the most juiciest stuff from his life. If he didn't, then he might as well pack up his guitar so he can beg for money in the streets of downtown San Diego. What a pathetic life he has. And the worst part of it is, the showgram knows all about his big, fat lies and looks away. Someone ought to expose him for what he really is and this thread is doing its part. Amused, thanks for being so candid and honest about your personal life. We know you don't have to do divulge anything to us, but the listeners of the showgram are being fooled and we know the real scoop through you. I know the time will come when all his lies will catch up with him and I do hope it's soon. Mooch needs to opens her eyes and stop being in denial before he gets worse. She can't let money blind her. If she does, then her kids will have to pay the price by having to deal with this creature. He needs psychiatric help and NOW!

Amused, I have a question and you don't have to answer if you don't want to. Has FH always been like this from the beginning of your relationship and I must stress, your past relationship since thank God, he's now your ex (mood swings, lying, emotional outbursts, temper tantrums, obsessive compulsive behaviors, need I go on?...) I was just thinking if this is all about becoming a "big deal" and the money that goes along with it. It seems to have taken Laura down the wrong path (by her choosing of course) and Jeff (2 divorces and a mid life crisis), etc......

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Little did I expect that it would have nearly 1,000,000 views! WOW...

Welcome to our little "family" - this thread has sparked so many wonderful friendships and the love and concern we have shown for each other during the past week is amazing. Sure, we were originally here to vent about the spewgram - but from that, well, we've grown some great friendships!

130+ strong and growing each day!

[zodiac]

My goodness, Texan family, I will be praying so much for you tonight and until we get our next update.
Daddy Tex, I sure think it was meant to be for you to come home early to be with your wife. Please send her hugs from all her DC friends. Update when you can. Good luck, I'm sending my angels to keep you company. :angel:

[Alpinemaps]

Checking in myself. We were evacuated, but our community survived without any problems. We were able to come back completely Wednesday afternoon. Thursday morning, I was back at work.

The nature of what I do, though (making maps), and where I work (Camp Pendleton), caused me to work a lot of hours to help support the efforts of firefighters at Camp Pendleton. So I've been busy doing that, and I'm just now getting the chance to check in here.


The other day I was at a stoplight and a firetruck was driving by. I applauded them and they waved back. What heroes they are.:wavey2:

I've had the chance to interact with a LOT of firefighters since I've been helping out at the fire camp at Camp Pendleton. Every last one of them that I see, I make sure to say 'how you doing?' and 'thank you' to. They look exhausted, and they're doing a job that I couldn't do. But I know they love it, and if they could, they'd be out there 24/7 fighting those things. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for giving us the update DaddyTex. I'm thinking good thoughts for you guys. I've been chatting with surfing_texan because she's only one week further along than my wife. The two of them have a lot in common, with concerns about early labor. She has been a big help to us with our concerns. I'm going to just keep thinking good thoughts, and sending positive vibes your way. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

So.....what does THIS mean?

YESTERDAY at Torrey Pines was a good walk. There were about 20 of the regulars and it was a nice walk after the fires.

Another lie, or is he such a "big deal" that he just went on closed trails anyway?

[Wabbitsd]

brainsmile, thanks for dropping in. I often wonder whether you stop by to visit this thead. Many thanks for setting us up! And come on by any time, ok?

[gossipgurl]

Boy, it looks like I missed a lot. My family and I were evacuated at 4 am. on Monday morning. Thank goodness we are okay, but my neighborhood is not and neither is my husband's business as it was burned completely. I live in Westwood, Rancho Bernardo...it is so sad and looks like a war zone here. I just got my phone and cable back yesterday afternoon and I sure missed being on the computer. For those of you who believe in the power of prayer, pray for the children and teachers of Westwood Elementary as they have suffered huge losses. There is one teacher who has 15 children in her class that lost their home. My children go back to school today and I am sure there will be a somber feeling.

I read somewhere on here that Laura is on "CPS Probation"?? Can someone fill me in. I don't have a lot of extra time right now to go back and read all the posts from my 5 day evacuation, but I really want to know what that is about.

Also, PLEASE save the tour of my neighborhood (Westwood). The amount of traffic and people stopping to take pictures/videos is ridiculous--there have even been people having their children pose in front of people's homes to take pictures!!

Take care and I hope you are all safe now.

[texasmommy]

gossipgurl - the CPS Probation thing was not about Laura.. It was about MissThany's family member...

oh gossipgurl Im so sorry to hear about your neighborhood and your husbands company. I feel so bad for the kids at your school who have lost everything. If there is anything we can do to help please let us know and we will of course be thinking of them all.

I cant believe people would use your neighborhood as a tourist destination

[BebeSD]

Astounding numbers at that school - I'm an elementary teacher figuring out what to say to my students when they return tomorrow... but they're all fine and weren't threatened... I can only imagine how much more difficult it will be for your kids and the others affected. Here's hoping you all heal quickly and well...

I'm bored and was reviewing some old posts from last year. Thought I'd share with some of the newbies. Misery loves company.

Laura's blahg:

Dear Diary,

I just came from the best meeting I've attended in San Diego so far. It was a step study meeting in the round (just like you always see in the movies). We each read from the book, then we all stopped and meditated for 15 minutes. It was really a cool experience. After that, the meeting leader talked about faith and God's will and it got me thinking about something. I'm pretty sure I'm smack-dab in the middle of something huge...that when I get to wherever it is I'm supposed to get, I'll look back at these last eight months and go "Oh, got it! I see what you did there, God!" I have faith that this long and winding and sometimes painful road will lead me somewhere grand. I just have to keep doing the next right thing.

I forgot to tell you something really funny and sweet that happened last week while I was staying at Jerry and Larry's house. The boys raced into Chip's room to make me a present when I first got there. They spent about a half hour in there doing something they wouldn't let me see. Finally, Chip comes out with a wrapped gift and a homemade card which said, "Ms. Cain, you're the best. Love, Chip." The gift was a little Cars lunchbox...just what I needed!

Then, Charlie comes out with his wrapped present. The card said "I love you, Momma." I tore open the paper to find a fancy wine box. On the bottom of the box, Charlie wrote in red marker "NOT WINE." I just about peed my pants. How cute and sweet and funny is that? It's also kind of sad. Inside the box was one of Chip's baseball caps. Wasn't that nice of Charlie to give me something of Chip's?

Those boys, along with DJ made a lemonade stand on Friday. They made a sign that they tied to a tree that said, "Welcome to Cheerful C, C and D's Lemonade Stand. Mystery lemonade $1.00. So cute.

Today, I went to a baby shower . I won the celebrity baby name game, naturally. I also won the "Make a Baby out of Play-Doh" contest. I was the only girl there who gave her baby a butt. I won a candle and a Cosmopoliton drink maker. The woman who was throwing the shower was so embarrassed to give it to me. She just kept apologizing. I thought it was so funny. I passed it on the Delana.

See you tomorrow, Diary.

Yep, that's what it says. So, they have Leroy Brown, the two kittens, and now perhaps a baby? Hmmmmm

Nah nah nah nah la la la la...nope, not letting myself hear this. :P

[OneKidOneDogMom]

I was listening this morning and they said that there was a baby shower this weekend that both LBM and Delana went to - LBM talks about it in her blog, too.

Why, oh why, do they need to "tease" something on the air for 48 hours? Why can't they just be like normal people and just get on with their life instead of expecting everything to be a big production?

Oh, I forgot - they are the "big deals of San Diego" and it's all about them, all the time.

[pastherprime]

I'm so sorry to hear of your tragedies. I've had a few of my own this year.

I have about 10 boxes of 'stuff' from my dad's estate (he passed away recently) and I think I could probably round up another box of office supply stuff from my own business if that would help. I can't drive it anywhere currently because my driver's license is temporarily suspended because I had a seizure in my car a couple of weeks ago and ended up in the ER. We think it was medication related, so I'll probably get it back (I hope, so that I can continue to get to my own business--taking a bus so far is pretty difficult).

Let me know if I can help (or if someone can help by picking this stuff up and taking it to a donation center). I have a friend who is coming over today who might be able to help me deliver this stuff. You can just PM me about this. I'll be gone for most of the day (work, yay!), so I'll respond later.

Yikes, I am quoting myself. Isn't that a move of a BIG DEAL? Anyway, maybe Laura and Delana went to a shower for Kristen. BTW, when did those two get married? It seems awful fast to be adopting and they've added a lot to that household already this year. I don't want to criticise Kristen (I think she's adorable) and I can certainly understand the desire and need to be a mom, but still....

Hi to all, I'm stopping by once again on behalf of my wife. I've come to our house to gather a scrapbook of our relationship, and photos of our children for inspiration.

Please send prayers our way if you can spare a few extra minutes. Thanks to all --"DaddyTex"--


Lots of prayers to you and the entire family!!

[YoungAmerican]

To Surfing_Texan family, hang in there. There are so many prayers floating up to heaven from San Diego right now. Isn't it nice to know that there is no such thing as a "waiting line" for our prayers in heaven? Whether it's prayers, good wishes,or positive thoughts, there are lots with Surfing_Texan family attached being sent. Keep us updated.

Hi everyone,
I just got to work and got some really awful news. A former co-worker of mine has a son who has been battling leukemia and last night his son died. Im so sad and I just needed to tell someone. Please keep this family in your thoughts. I just can't even imagine loosing a child...I just hope that his family has the strength and courage to overcome such a devestating thing. Well I just wanted to get that out but I need to stop or Im going to start to bawl at work...

Holy Mr. Ed is more like it!! Her head is bigger than her body, gross!! And yet the outfit probably was something she wore the night before and rolled into the studio after her night of partying and didn't realize how horrid she looks! :gle:

Just tilt her head back and a piece of candy pops out of her neck...

No - I think Laura will live with him now...

Sunday October 28, 2007 10:30pm: I just woke up after being in a Nyquil/Benadryl state of mind ever since the end of the Charger game. I think I remember Michelle coming to the house and watching TV with me a few hours ago, but I think I snored my way through her visit.

I feel 100% better now! I just slept my way out of the flu. I just realized that I may have been thinking I had kidney stones again, because my stomach and back is sore, but I realized a few hours ago that on Friday evening and Saturday morning, Eddie was doing sit ups and challenged me to do some and I did about 50 sit ups that was immediately critiqued by Eddie by saying that’s not a true sit up, because I was jerking my way up, instead of a steady glide up. So, I think I’m sore instead of having the deadly kidney stones. FYI: Just for my ego, in this blog I added about 40 more sit ups than I actually did in reality. J

Tommytube is scheduled after the show tomorrow. I think we’re just going to talk and catch up and I think Lisa Busalacchi is going to end Tommytube by teaching us how to cook something in my kitchen.

While being sick and sleeping on the couch all weekend long, Laura spoke with Michelle a few times as I was sleeping, I remember waking up for a second yesterday and the two were talking and laughing at me. (I think I must have been snoring)…….This is a funny and true story: Michelle originally emailed and wanted to walk Torrey Pines to meet Laura back in July. So, I basically stole Laura’s friend.

Eddie and Vanessa: What I learned this weekend is that Eddie and Vanessa, although at times, I feel that they are much older than they appear and that Vanessa is thinking she’s 20 and with Eddie skateboarding with kids that are 5 years older, I think they are ready for the world and are “bigger and older than they really are”, but this weekend I found out that my two little babies are STILL just that. Eddie is 10 and Vanessa is 12 and it’s as simple as that. The best part of this weekend for me is knowing in an instant when Eddie took my hand at Knotts Scary Farm to get him out of there. From that, we had the best talk and walk together in a long time. We talked to eachother about it all. It was a special time for my son and me.

Vanessa is a trip. She is going to be a tough one. She has a little of her mom and she has a little of me in her. She has a heart of gold and this weekend I saw more than just the “lets go to the mall” daughter of mine. I saw a little girl who kind of opened up and talked about everything and joked around a lot. Vanessa is shy, but really funny. Maybe she can be a radio personality one day.

Amanda: She’s my stepdaughter and she’s in her early 20’s….She’s 23. FYI: I had to think about it for a second and actually did math to figure out she’s 23. I guess I’m still on a Nyquil trip. She left Sunday morning of last week on her honeymoon and I believe she gets back today. She lives in Ramona and missed all the fire stuff of last week.

Other than going to Charlotte with Jerry to see Van Halen, I think this is the first night apart from Michelle. With the fact that I’m snoring again, maybe this might be an early Christmas present for her to be away from her at night.

Speaking of Christmas: I better get some shopping in for my family and friends and get on track with picking a family or two or 3 for Breaking and Entering Christmas.

Do you know of a family that needs help this year? I’m thinking about doing 2 this year on the air. One family that has always needed help and one family from the fires.
Our fundraiser is this Friday. Listen up for details. Star 94.1….

I think I better go back to bed, I’m starting to sound like a deejay.

Well it isn't shocking to me that tommy has had kidney stones before and I dont doubt he will get them again....heres a tip tommy, eat healthier and perhaps your health will improve.

I find it funny a week after the fires he brings Amanda up..he probably had to wait long enough to get the status of her from amused on here before talking about it or maybe from his kids...regardless he doesnt say he talked to her directly...

its all interesting, very very interesting....

I wonder how many times Delena looks around the studio every morning and thinks, "What I wouldn't give to be back doing radio with Bonaduce. He's got nothing on crazy compared to these freaks and at least he admits and knows he's out of control. These guys play dress up as normal human beings everday. Now that's scary. This is going to be the spookiest Halloween ever. I'm surrounded by vampires (Jer, FH) zombies (LBM and Randy)and a real life Jack-O-Lantern (Jeff)."
