SDReadHead - You sound like a fun gal. My husband and I went to Ireland some years ago for 3 weeks and had such a great time. I'm completely sterotyping here but it appears the Irish know how to enjoy life and I appreciate that a lot. And, damn, fresh Guiness is GOOD!

Fresh Guinesses is good too!

[insightbyjake]

...Anyways I have tons more comments but....I have a 10 page paper I need to work on. blah!

"Tons more comments..." You mean you had to write a few comments about FH?

[Jammie J.]

If you want to know WHY Charlie thinks that Dad is fun and you are nice...try asking him what he means by that. How is Dad "fun". His definition of fun may not be quite what you're thinking...

If you want to know why Dad would freak out over the teenage haircut, try checking a calendar. Your son is not 14. He's 7. He needs a 7 year old haircut...should cost about $10 and take 10 minutes. I agree with Boris, he should NOT be going to Jingle Ball. No 7 year old who hasn't already been exposed to violent domestic abuse should not hear about it at a concert. It IS too loud and too late and too adult for a 7 year old. (or is he 9?? either way, same point).

Wabbit...as for her dress, well it IS easy access...top and bottom. Quick tug down, quick tug up and presto...ready for some luvin'...right?? (EWWWWWWWWWWWWW). Heck...a broom closet back stage will do (privacy, right?). No one need be the wiser. The trick will be to do her hair in that whole wind blown, messy look so she doesn't even need to fix it when done. Just a quick reapp of the lipstick, a straighten of the top and bottom of the towel....errrr...sack...errrr...dress and she's good to go.

(Does anyone else see my cat claws??)

Maybe she should just go with a turban this year. Seems like it'd go with the outfit.

[RowdyOne]

To iamsheens: "Tons more comments..." You mean you had to write a few comments about FH? iamsheens did! there are lots of comments about FH in the post... but they are easy to overlook if you're skimming, because FH doesn't deserve positive notice.

[RowdyOne]

Aah, Jake, I see your point now that I have not skimmed and can re-read and digest your intent and insight. You mean her 10-page paper was comments about FH, right? Sorry to be so dense tonight...

[insightbyjake]

Maybe she should just go with a turban this year. Seems like it'd go with the outfit.
Turban is good.

I'm thinking a Tutankhamen-type turban that protects the face as well.

Heck, go with the entire Tutankhamen outfit and save us from itchy, burning eyes.

Pax....no self-respecting Irish girl would drink stale Guinness :)

[insightbyjake]

...(sorry Boris and Jake, although my husband still finds me quite fetching, I'm afraid I don't qualify as one of the DC hotties!) :woohoo:

"Fetching?"

Was your husband in the 100 years War?


(I kid!!!!)

Actually, I find it mildly interesting that the 100 Year War lasted 116 years.

It's my own theory, but I think Joan of Arc had something to do with this. She claimed to be older than she was so she could join the fight against England. This propensity to "fudge."

From this sprung a woman's ability to say 145 lbs, is actually
128...... and 46 years old is actually 37.

Just a thought....

Wow, a flashback to the high school and college. Girls, do you remember choosing clothes for a date according to just how difficult access would be? (It was the 70's after all.) You could range from a LBM style to one with a button down blouse, sweater, difficult belt, and such. Men, did you realize what we were up to?

Here is one style that I wish would return - stirrup pants. Ok, they were ugly but basically it meant wearing sweat pants with a loose top to work. Quick, easy, and comfortable. Of course, the best outfit of all would be soft, warm, and never need a bra. God, I hate bras. I barely need one and still get stuck wearing the damn things to work. Ten steps after arriving home, removing it is my first priority.

[RowdyOne]

Take care, Texasgirlfriend, FH is lurking here and knows your address, phone number, bra size, and now what you do first when you get home. Lock your door behind you!

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Boy, you sure can tell that the holiday season has started....no posts for THREE hours on a Saturday night!

Either that or everyone else on this board has a life and I'm just a loser, sitting at home on a Saturday night...???

At least we'll have lots to talk about after tomorrow night - the infamous Jingle Ball pictures that will tell the true tale of how the spewgram *really* spent the evening.

[insightbyjake]

Well, Vive La France, I say.... in that case I'm 27 years old and 103 lbs.

Hmmm....27 plus 6...add 2.....103 plus......22 plus....3 inches....times the square root of 8.........

Sapphie is Angelina Jolie!!!!!!!!!


P.S. Let's do private messages from now on.

[insightbyjake]

SDReadhead can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Irish drink Guinness just about anywhere...

I believe in Irish hospitals, Guinness is the official lactose-Ringer solution.

Although, patients should be warned, the results of injestion suggest participation of intestinal alkaline phosphatase in fat absorption.

That could explain the Tutankhamen outfits most of my dates wore....

Okay, after removing the bra....can you describe steps 2 through 10????

[insightbyjake]

"Why is Jake posting so late at night?" you may wonder....

The joy of a stomach flu.

It's not that I miss you all so much.....I'm simply tired of seeing the bottom of my toilet..... so at my computer I sit...and wait.

While waiting, I found some interesting info. on vomiting:

1. Increased salivation prior to vomiting is designed to protect the enamel of teeth from stomach acids (since excessive vomiting can lead to dental erosion).

2. Slang terms for the act of vomiting include: "to hurl," "to throw up," "to gack," "to upchuck," "to boot," "to puke," "to ralph," "to call Earl," "to barf," "to keel," "to sick up," "to spew," "to spew chunks," "to chunder," "to toss one's cookies," "technicolor yawn," "street pizza," "to shout groceries," "to boke" and, "to blow chunks"

3. As far back as Shakespeare's writing, the term for vomiting known as "puking" was referred to.

In "As You Like It," Shakespeare talks of the infant 'Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms'.

I remember being a little boy and promising God, I'd do anything He needed, if He'd let me avoid getting sick.

Apparently, God didn't need too much help from me, cause He seemed to be okay with my continuing to reverse-eating.

Wilson and I have written a new version of Clement Clarke Moore's classic:

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a marriage was working, not one happy spouse;

The ratings were piled on the desk of St. Bob,
In hopes that the Stars would still have a job;

King Jerry was nestled all snug in his bed,
While visions of women danced in his head;

Saint Jeff was preaching to his family,
“Ignore what I do, but please, be like me!”

Randy, and Debbie, lay still in their bed,
While visions of “Jimmy’s” danced in his head.

LBM in a sweatshirt, FH in his cap,
Both passed out cold, for a long winter's nap,

All of their children not knowing where’s “home,”
Blamed Mommy and Daddy, for marriages blown.

When out in the driveway there arose such a clatter,
Moochelle’s voice was yelling, “Kids, see what’s the matter!”

Away to the window they flew like a flash,
Tore open the bed sheets and started to laugh.

The light on the breasts of the angel below
Gave the image of things from Two Star’s big Show,

When what to their wondering eyes should appear,
But their own Showgram friends, bringing some beer.

With a clown of a driver, with overdone glam ,
They knew in a moment it was Jerry and Pam.

Tho’ it was Christmas, Jer brought his game,
And he cursed, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Laura! And Rick! Delana and Jen!
And, Randy! And Debbie! And, Jeff and his kin!

To the top of the ratings! To the top go us all!
While faking our effort, who cares about gall?”

“We’ll fake all our shows, through Summer and Fall.

With many weeks off, 11 people may cry,
But we’re such big deals, our friends can’t deny.”

So up to the house-top the cast they all flew,
Hoping to lure all their listeners too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The Jeff and the Jer, rehearsing aloof.

As I drew in my belly, and was turning around,
Down the tall chimney came Jer with a bound.

Dressed in fake fur, from his head to his foot,
His clothes were all tarnished with La Jolla soot;

A bundle of sex-toys, flung on his back,
He looked like a pervert opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! His face was so scary!
His breasts were like pillows, his nose like a cherry!

This droll, large ego that married a ho’,
Whose make-up disguised a face white as snow;

The stump of a roach-clip held tight in his teeth,
While the smoke wrapped ‘round his head just like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a fairly round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby like Jeff, a sad radio elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

His blurry drunk eyes and his over-sized head,
Soon let me know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
Emptying stockings playing Jeff’s little jerk,

And laying his finger inside his nose,
Grabbing his knob, up the chimney he rose;

He unbuttoned his shirt, out the door he burst out,
”It’s almost ten!” The rest heard him shout,

Then they heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,

"Two more years of this crap…and then a good-night."

(“This has been the best Christmas of our lives!”)

[Layla]

Jake, hope the sickness has passed, and you are getting some rest. But boy, am I glad you were up last night, because THAT was a great morning read!

[Wabbitsd]

SDReadhead can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Irish drink Guinness just about anywhere...

Being in the editorial mood, can we just say all the above like this:

"the Irish drink." where, when, how much, and with whom, all remain a delicious mystery.

or so I am told.

oh, my gosh, Jake. that is absolutely priceless! BRAVO!!

We need to mail that to the shrewgram on an hourly basis...and to all the other folks who work there...LOL...

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Bravo, Jake!

You get a standing ovation and a big gold STAR from this DC member!

Any bets on who the first spewgram member will be to mention "mean people" first?

Too bad they will never read this poem on the air - it's definitely better than anything THEY will come up with :)

[Wabbitsd]

he he he they each will probably read the poem and say,
"How wrong they are about ME...but the other guys, righton!!!"

[shello]

Darn good work, Jake. Hope your stomach flu has since flown. But whenever you are not feeling well, we benefit from your writings.

I am a little bugged too that Laura is bringing Charlie to the concert. She will be chatting it up with people and I'll bet he won't be her #1 focus and will be free to roam or go off to the bathroom by himself. It will be like all the young kids allowed to roam at the Prado/Balboa Park last night...being loud, purposely jumping in puddles and shoving each other so they bumped into others. (Oh crap, I am sounding like an old fart)

I think people behave like idiots at concerts so it's not hte best place for a 7 year-old. THe pot, the drinking, the sleezy behavior, the fighting....as I look at that though I believe Charlie's had enough of that due to his exposure to the showgram.

Years ago (like 5) I had really wanted to go to Jingle Ball. But with J&J so lame and the musical lineup even lamer....no way. Didn't someone talk about there being Jingle Ball's (not to be confused with Holy Balls) all over the country? I wonder if the same performers go to all of them and they are scheduled on many, many dates in December. Anyone know? I gues I could research it. Hey, they could book the DC band for pretty cheap!

[Texasgirl]

That could explain the Tutankhamen outfits most of my dates wore....

Well, I can't tell too many secrets, but it does involve fluffy slippers, my favorite Jake, and an energetic yellow lab.

Your song lyrics are hilarious and dozens times better than anything the spewgram could come up with. Maybe they could have a contest??

DC#44

P.S. Jake is my dog.

[Fatosaurus]

Jake, a bunch of us congregated in the chat room. Who knows how to set up a Yahoo group or Google Group? We can transition on over to there and not worry about the elves blowing our house down?

I too missed you all yesterday :( There was so much Thanksgiving fodder out there and we were rendered mute. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Lovely to see my invisible friends again :) All is nearly right with the world. (breathe in....breathe out)

You need to register for a Yahoo ID. If you guys want, I can set one up because I've done it before. You can have a lot more control over who joins and who can ready what is posted.

A couple of years ago, I remember the station program manager (Tracey Johnson?) saying that the worked on getting artists as early as March to get them lined up for Jingle Ball.

Ummm...who exactly are you?

[Layla]

I just googled Jingle Ball 2007. What I found was that there are several acts performing for different stations accross the country, however, not to my surprise, none of those acts were the ones featured at the San Diego event. Imagine this: A charity Jible Ball with current stars that people actually want to go see? Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Hero's, Avril Lavine, TIMBALIND, Plain White T's. Then, as the "not so famous fill in artists" Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis, Backstreet Boys (ok they're famous, but I still think they're about at worthy as an AI star). I'd pay to go see a Jingle Ball with these artists, even at the risk of seeing Tommy in his walking shorts.

[califbrat]

Ummm...who exactly are you?


good one Layla !

[Halinn]

Fatosaurus....funny name...I don't think we need your help setting an account.

Layla when I went to Jingle Ball I too thought it was a San Diego exclusive! While traveling on business in another area of the country I found out Jingle Ball is everywhere!!!! That was the beginning of my lack trust for who Jeff and Jer "claim to be"....they recycle bits from other radio stations all the time and try to make it seem original.

[shello]

Wow, at 1:30, 94.1 was still advertising Jingle Ball tix for tonight thru Ticketmaster. That's a first!

On another front (and I know this is minor) but I made two cheesecakes late this morning. I let them cool on the stove and then went to put them in my fridge. One was for a dinner party tonight and the other for my sis as a thank you treat. One fell to the floor during transport to the fridge. Funny and irritating too. I found out my dog likes cheesecake. And to think it was cheesecake with shortbread cookie crust.

[pax]

Jake - That is the funniest friggin' poem/song EVER! Thank you!

[GirlfromOR]

I wish I had 209 in the bank. I'm a responsible, married mother of 2, but I'm a teacher. We put everything we have into retirement, education, insurance... instead of spending it on expensive, ugly dresses, hotel stays, drugs and alcohol. LBM needs to meet with a financial adviser to figure out how to manage her money. She makes too much money to be broke all the time.

I'd bet that Laura doesn't have a retirement fund or college funds for her children. I agree that she needs a financial advisor.

[GirlfromOR]

Great poem Jake! I especially liked the part about tearing open the bed sheets... was that supposed to be window treatments? Haha. I hope you are feeling better.

Jingle Ball is everywhere. I know when I was going to school in Orange County, Jingle Ball was up there the night after it was in San Diego and it was the same line up, plus a few bigger named acts.

Shello - I checked Ticketmaster yesterday, and they had tickets available in all price ranges - I think that Jingle Ball is going to be a total bust. Now, the one in Philly will probably ROCK! And didn't they used to do it at larger venues - this year it's at a freaking casino. Yet another good reason for LBM to leave Charlie (aka the adult in the family) at home.

Sorry about the cheesecakes - I know they're not easy to make.

[listener13]

Jake, as usual - you are a million times more creative than the showgram schlocks.

[Jammie J.]

Mmmm, cheesecake! Your dog has good taste... sorry it dropped though. :(

Jake, that was quite an excellent rendition of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Have to say, I'm really impressed, particularly when I take into account that you might have had to take bathroom breaks whilst writing it, and yet it maintains a good flow. So to speak.

[Layla]

Sorry about the cheesecakes - I know they're not easy to make.

It's actually at Sports Arena, and sponsored by the Casino I think. Not that it makes it any more appropriate for Char.

On a funny little side note, when I typed "Char" the first time, I was also talking to my daughter and watching my son play a game and I typed "Shat". Well, it made me giggle at least.

[Layla]

As I was preparing dinner tonight I thought of the CainKids and their lack of nutritional meal content. So, I thought, what if we all sent Laura our easiest quickest health(ier) meals in a nice little bound book? Ok, maybe I'm just too thoughtful, but she really does need the help. Tonight's dinner for Mrs. and Mr. Layla and the LaylaKids was a wonderful pasta salad, with Tortellini, Chicken, Artichoke and sundried tomatoes. Tossed in a Kraft FREE Salad dressing. It was quick and easy, and I thought, Hey! Even Laura could do this (although it include the boiling of water.)

Anyone interested?

[ElizabethAZ]

Saturday December 8, 2007 6am:

Jingle Ball is tomorrow night and it’s a trip to think that it’s been so many years since that original call from “BECKY”……Do you know the story?

I don’t even remember the year anymore, but it was like 1999 or 2000 and it was in January and it was on a Thursday morning.

More lies. First of all, isn't that something you would remember? Don't they announce the 8th annual, 9th annual, whatever? BTW, I googled it and quickly found that the first San Diego concert was held in 1996, meaning that if she called in January, it would have been January 1996, almost TWELVE years ago.

Maybe it is Tubby math striking again, but for me, things that happened 12 years ago and things that happened 7 years ago are pretty easy to tell apart. Especially when I supposedly reminisce about the events on an annual basis with the original party involved.

Yeah, right.

IF there was ever a real Becky, and
IF Tubby had ever heard from her again....

wouldn't he know how long it had been?
wouldn't he have a few more details, like what she might be doing now, even vaguely?

(I understand that the existence or not of a "real" Becky is insignificant, as "she" represents numerous faceless women in a very real situation. I am not trying to discredit the need for such a charity, however misguided its "founders" might have been).

[SDGirl87]

Hello lovely DC IF's!! It's been an eventful weekend with the rain! I was involved in the Christmas on the Prado this weekend, and somehow, we managed to perform every night. The rains stopped long enough each night for us to get our stuff in. Of course, I was hoarse and worn out on Saturday, so the super secret DC meeting was postponed until next weekend. If you would like to be included in the invite to meet some of us, have some fun and be productive with your time, PM me and I'll tell what we're doing, and where! Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. Fudge, eggnog and sappy Christmas music will be involved. Probably lots of giggling will also be taking place.

Jake, I hope you feel better :) Sorry you got the "re-eats". It's most unpleasant.

Anyone have a suggestion for our word of the day tomorrow? I'm starting to think holiday thoughts...all submissions will be given careful consideration and probably be used!

Good night sweet IF's. Sleep well. We'll catch up more tomorrow.

ps...thanks for the offer to teach me how to set up a Yahoo ID. I'm all set. Have had one for years.

[SDGirl87]

I think he said that they have not heard back from her, but that they see her each year at Jingle Ball. I believe that she is very real, having been a caller during a visit by Dr. Barbara something. I think that the whole thing is real. Remember, 12 years ago, they weren't who they are now. I don't care if every station in America does Jingle Ball. I've never heard them say that it's exclusive to them. I've never heard them take credit for inventing it. I'm just glad that they do it, and that they choose Becky's House as the recipient of the funds raised. I honestly don't care about the other motives. Without saying much, I have a family member who needs to go to a "Becky's House" in another state, but they are too ashamed to go and no matter how much I beg them to, they don't. I'm thankful that this exists for those people here who have the courage to get out. Perhaps one day my family member will go too, and finally be safe.

As for revealing any information about "Becky", even generic information can sometimes give someone away. I appreciate that they respect her privacy. She clearly does not wish to be identified. That should be respected. At the end of the day, J/J started a good thing with Becky's House. When it all started so many years ago, I choose to believe that their motives were as they appeared to be. It was a long time ago, and though I may not think that they're funny or entertaining now, and I have a lot of fun mocking them (it's easy to do!), I'm willing to give them credit for involving themselves in something so powerful and significant. Too bad they won't be remembered for the good that they did in that situation because of all of the other stupid stuff that they've done.

Ok...headed to bed. Toodles!

[DeltaPop]

The "Becky" call to the shellgram was in Jan 1999. From all I've read, she is real. They had done Jingle Ball for a number of years before that, but decided to donate the funds from the 1999 Jingle Ball to Becky's House, and I guess they have done that ever since. Not to stick up for the shew, but maybe they originated Jingle Ball and everyone else followed their lead?? They used to talk about what a "big deal" FH was at the radio conventions, winning producer awards.

[DeltaPop]

Layla - I thought of sending LBM recipes, too. We could write them on those cute little index cards and get those plastic protector sheets and put them in a cute little box tied with a ribbon! LOL. I made one of my favs tonight - chicken caesar salad. Really complicated - lettuce, dressing and chicken. Took all of 15 minutes - and it only took that long because I cooked fresh chicken instead of using pre-cooked/frozen.

[NewAgeGoddess]

Wilson and I have written a new version of Clement Clarke Moore's classic:

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a marriage was working, not one happy spouse;

The ratings were piled on the desk of St. Bob,
In hopes that the Stars would still have a job;

King Jerry was nestled all snug in his bed,
While visions of women danced in his head;

Saint Jeff was preaching to his family,
“Ignore what I do, but please, be like me!”

Randy, and Debbie, lay still in their bed,
While visions of “Jimmy’s” danced in his head.

All of their children not knowing where’s “home,”
Blamed Mommy and Daddy, for marriages blown.

His clothes were all tarnished with La Jolla soot;

A bundle of sex-toys, flung on his back,
He looked like a pervert opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! His face was so scary!
His breasts were like pillows, his nose like a cherry!

This droll, large ego that married a ho’,
Whose make-up disguised a face white as snow;

The stump of a roach-clip held tight in his teeth,
While the smoke wrapped ‘round his head just like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a fairly round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby like Jeff, a sad radio elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

His blurry drunk eyes and his over-sized head,
Soon let me know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
Emptying stockings playing Jeff’s little jerk,

And laying his finger inside his nose,
Grabbing his knob, up the chimney he rose;

He unbuttoned his shirt, out the door he burst out,
”It’s almost ten!” The rest heard him shout,

Then they heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,

"Two more years of this crap…and then a good-night."

(“This has been the best Christmas of our lives!”)

I love Jake!!!! Leaving tomorrow on a 5 day cruise. Wanna go with me Jake????

[RecoveringLstnr]

I just got home from Jingle Ball and I'm exhausted and going to bed! I'll fill in the gaps tomorrow but the night started with Jeff holding a cell phone on stage having the crowd thank his neighbors for watching their foster baby and ended with me overhearing a woman tell her husband she didn't know Little Tommy is so "heavy set". I had multiple Laura sightings and for tonight all I will say is, Laura IS fat.

[Wabbitsd]

I wish I believed the original "Becky" was real and unstaged.

I'm a little uneasy that so much is focused on these victims, and there doesn't seem to be as much involved in slowing the pace of folks who end up in these situations. Maybe I'm jaded, but it's another burgeoning industry for those who want to staff nonprofits. Like all the nonprofits who pop up after disasters, and the need and their service never really goes away, almost as if they depend on the fact that these disasters or sad situations continue to happen.

I think the whole Jingle Ball concept across the country is an employment service for has been bands.

Ok, Fatasaurus, so you guys start in March to get arrangements made. ok. I would do the same thing for any major event. What's your point? And the proceeds that go to the charity are AFTER all the expenses... big deals like FH and his ilk are part of the expense.

I have firsthand knowledge that the Sports Arena is DONATED. They don't pay a dime for it.

Monday December 10, 2007 5am: Happy Birthday Eddie! My little boy turns 11 years old. He's been showing me all weekend long how old he is today by making the number 11 with both his hands using the finger in the middle. That's my boy! "my boy is just like me" Just like the song says! He comes home and goes straight to the computer and checks his email non stop and is head over heels over his girlfriend. I love you Eddie!

Eddie tells me like it is! When I was getting dressed for Jingle Ball I was really nervous because I'm not used to wearing REAL clothes and pants. So, I was feeling really awkward last night. When I got dressed I stood in front of Eddie and asked if I looked okay and without hesitation he says, "when you tuck in your shirt, you really really look fat".....I took a deep breath and took off all my clothes and searched for something else to wear but couldn't. I did contemplate wearing my usual shorts and blue t-shirt, but I would dress it up by wearing brand new tennis shoes, but I didn't, I wore something Michelle picked out for me and I walked around all night with my shirt tucked in and feeling really uncomfortable.

JINGLE BALL: I had a great time at Jingle Ball, but what I remember the most from the concert isn't about the show, it's about my fiance Michelle. Michelle is the best woman in the world who is just an amazing person. While I was feeling nervous and awkward about wearing real clothes, Michelle was THE most beautiful woman there. BUT more than her beauty, she is just a good person who loves her friends and she just made last night FUN for everyone she was with. I am so happy the walks from this year led me to her. I don't even know what to say, other than LETS HURRY UP AND GET MARRIED! I wouldn't mind getting married NOW, like on New Year's Eve, but lets see what FOOTBALL games are on that day before I confirm that. :) Just kidding.

It's 5:04am and I'm not even showered yet and I'm still wearing the same clothes from last night. I better go!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love, Dad

[Trixie]

After LBM has worn her dress to Jing-All Ball, she can now use it to wrap presents for Christmas. Just add a bow!

Any more reports about Jingle Ball? Is the Spewgram taking the day off today because they stayed up so late last night?

Only Tommy would be proud of the fact his son is using his middle fingers to show his age...what the heck? That is so inappriopriate. And I really hope Eddie is nothing like Tommy....that poor kid if this is true.

[iamsheens]

I'd love to wrap up each member of the showgram (with the exception of tommy, not enough wrapping paper but a trashbag would work) and send them to another country to host the spewgram....that way no one in America listens to them anymore...:)

[YoungAmerican]

I seriously doubt Eddie is doing that. It really just sounds like more FH BS. He thinks he is sooooo friggin funny.

[Fatosaurus]

Ummm...who exactly are you?
My name is Jake too. I work for a local construction company and I've been listening to Jeff & Jer for a long time. I was looking for the real inside story about Laura and found this website.

[Fatosaurus]

[QUOTE=Halinn]Fatosaurus....funny name...I don't think we need your help setting an account.QUOTE]

Setting up an account on Yahoo is a piece of cake. I've moderated groups on Yahoo before, that's the only reason for my offer.

My screen bears good resemblance to my physical appearance.

[Dawnski]

A couple of years ago, I remember the station program manager (Tracey Johnson?) saying that the worked on getting artists as early as March to get them lined up for Jingle Ball.

It's Dilbert!

[Fatosaurus]

More lies. First of all, isn't that something you would remember? Don't they announce the 8th annual, 9th annual, whatever? BTW, I googled it and quickly found that the first San Diego concert was held in 1996, meaning that if she called in January, it would have been January 1996, almost TWELVE years ago.

Maybe it is Tubby math striking again, but for me, things that happened 12 years ago and things that happened 7 years ago are pretty easy to tell apart. Especially when I supposedly reminisce about the events on an annual basis with the original party involved.

Yeah, right.

IF there was ever a real Becky, and
IF Tubby had ever heard from her again....

wouldn't he know how long it had been?
wouldn't he have a few more details, like what she might be doing now, even vaguely?

(I understand that the existence or not of a "real" Becky is insignificant, as "she" represents numerous faceless women in a very real situation. I am not trying to discredit the need for such a charity, however misguided its "founders" might have been).

I think Jinble Ball was done to support other local charities before Becky's House. Anyway, I called the station of offer help after the original call from Becky. Tommy took my number. A woman later called me who said was Becky to thank me for me offer of help. She said that Tommy had given her a list of peopel to call and thank.

I know some of there stuff and calls are staged, but I don't know how much. I'm going to them the benefit of the doubt on this one. I think Becky is real and besides, look at the good that has come of it.

[pax]

Need more Jingle Ball dirt. No one went from the DC thread? Or maybe you're still asleep...

[simba]

As far as the orginal "Becky" call....I remember it very well. I was driving down Miramar rd at the time of the call. It did sound real and I remember being very touched by all that happened. J&J were different then.

Soon after is when they started Becky's house. I will give them that much credit.

[insightbyjake]

I love Jake!!!! Leaving tomorrow on a 5 day cruise. Wanna go with me Jake????

Find cruise ship.

Just recovered from the shock of the Jungle Ball pics! Here are my initial thoughts:
1. Jeff looks like a fat old man - wait, he is a fat old man
2. Jer looks like his fat old man friend (secret lover perhaps?)
3. "Pam the Man" is not in any of the pictures - unless I mistook her for Simon LeBon
4. Notice Jeff's daughter (or long-haired son) in one of the pictures - someone is trying to spare her the embarrassment by pulling her out of the frame. She definitely looks like Nina - manly in her youth.
5. Laura did wear that hideous dress - and it looked worse than imagined. She looks like an Amazon raisin with tree trunk legs in the picture of her on stage. Either that's a bottle popping out or a poor shriveled nipple.
6. Tummy looks stoned as usual.:puke:

[boris85]

Well - Laura Loser (aka Laura the Whora) has done it again!! She is complaining in her diary that she had to leave Jungle Ball early because Charlie was bored. Do you think!!! He’s only 7 years old. As I said - it's not appropriate for kids, you idiot! (But, she is going to bring Evan next year, who is even younger!!!) She finally had to "give in" and leave. Also, the fact that she caters to his every whim, spoils him rotten, and lets him do whatever he wants has created a VERY short attention span. I mean, the poor kid can't stand rainy days at school because he gets "bored" inside. So mamma has to break the rules and bust him out early.

Then, Laura talks about how Dave had to bring her black boots for the concert. If he had not found and brought them, she would have had nothing to wear - just black socks. Way to plan ahead. If I were Dave - I would have given that crap to the Salvation Army - they could use it in their campaign to cloth the giant women of the Island of Drunk-n-Stoned. Of course, she shows no appreciation that he helped her out. Poor, poor, Laura.

[pax]

Dear Diary,

I'm a little upset with my kid this morning. I missed Matchbox 20 because Charlie was "bored" and wanted to go home. BORED!?!? I said to him, "Listen, kid, you are backstage at the Sports Arena listening to Duran Duran, one of the greatest bands ever and you're BORED?" He agreed to sit through a few more songs, so we went to our seats. During the song "Rio," Charlie covers his ears and screams "I can't take it anymore!" So, we got up walked through the crowd and out the doors of the Sports Arena. We could hear Duran Duran getting fainter and fainter as we walked to our car in the chilly air.

Who is this child, and what have you done with my real son? Maybe Evan will be my concert kid. In fact, I know she will. She's crazy like Momma. I also have to take into consideration that Charlie's precious ears are still in 100 percent working order, unlike me, whose ears are numbed by years of wearing headphones and going to loud concerts.

Charlie grabbed all the blinking light thingies he could find before we entered the actual arena, so it was pretty much guaranteed that I wouldn't lose the kid. That is, until I got into the arena and all I could see was a sea of blinking lights. It looked really cool.

Dave managed to dig up some of my old boots, so when I met him at the Park and Ride (sad, huh?) he handed me about four pairs of black boots. The ones I wanted to wear were
dusty, but in tact, so I put em on right away. I'm glad that he found the boots because all I was wearing was black socks. That wouldn't have been a good look. I forgot how incredibly high those boots are, and I'm not talking about how far up the leg they go. The heels are at least 4 inches high, and lemme tell you, I felt everyone of those inches about two hours into the show. I was in serious pain, so maybe it was a good thing that we left early.

We laughed our butts off on the way home from the concert. I was telling Charlie about what he was like when he was a baby. I told him that I used to sing "let's change the little stinky" whenever he had a poo-poo. I said that I should've been singing "let's change the wretched stench" because there was nothing cute about some of his poo-poos. Well, he thought that was just about the funniest thing he'd ever heard. Poo-poo is always a guaranteed laugh with kids, at least mine anyway.

Today, I'm going to get the keys to my house. I'm actually not allowed to move in until the 15th though, which is good because I was really sad this morning thinking about leaving Tommy's house. I love his house. I love his neighborhood and his community. I'm going to miss all the activity. Something tells me that I'm going to spend a night or two at Tommy's after the 15th because I'll be lonely.

See you tomorrow, Diary.

[IZZY]

The call from Becky was not staged. I have been to both openings of Becky's House and I can assure you it is all very real. The unfortunate thing is that J&J get much too much credit for the building of these homes. The YWCA has done all the work to help these women. J&J didn't even show up for the unveiling of Becky's House 2!!! It is great that they took the call and helped her but what is greater is the organization that then built something great to help many.

I went to Jingle Ball last night. The concert was very good. Lenny and Matchbox 20 were amazing!!! Duran Duran played a lot of new stuff and went on a bit too long for me. I didn't have any "Big Deal" sightings prior to the concert but when they introduced LBM she was wearing the dress...ugh! Jen came on wearing cute jeans and a coat. FH is HUGE and very short!!! I wasn't impressed with 94.1's contributions to the show. Each time they needed to change the stage out for the next performer 94.1 had the same 8 slides of the sponsors rotate. Why not show video clips or go live from backstage? It was very amateur. Then once the stage was set up the big deals would have to come on and thank the sponsors or introduce themselves for 5 minutes. I was shocked for the number of years they have been doing this that they couldn't do more to entertain the crowd while waiting for the next act. Once the Big Deals would get on stage I wanted to yell, "Get Off!"
That is all the insight I have...sorry not more jucier for you all.

Laura's Diary - December 10th, 2007
Monday, December 10, 2007 at 12:33pm

Dear Diary,

I'm a little upset with my kid this morning. You should be upset with YOU...not Charlie. He acted exactly like a 7 year old boy SHOULD act. I missed Matchbox 20 awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwbecause Charlie was "bored" and wanted to go home. BORED!?!? Yes, bored. Matchbox 20 isn't his generation. It's BARELY yours.I said to him, "Listen, kid, you are backstage at the Sports Arena listening to Duran Duran, one of the greatest bands ever and you're BORED?" Yes...at 7, he'd probably rather be at home playing video games and listening to more age appropriate music. He agreed to sit through a few more songs, so we went to our seats. During the song "Rio," Charlie covers his ears and screams "I can't take it anymore!" So, we got up walked through the crowd and out the doors of the Sports Arena. We could hear Duran Duran getting fainter and fainter as we walked to our car in the chilly air. PLEASE tell me that he at least had a jacket.

Who is this child, and what have you done with my real son? Your real son is 7 years old. They don't have long attention spans, and they don't know music from the 80's. Stop making Charlie live YOUR dreams. When you were 7, you would have been bored at a Mama/Papa concernt, or an Eagles concert or whatever your parents were in to.Maybe Evan will be my concert kid. In fact, I know she will. She's crazy like Momma. I also have to take into consideration that Charlie's precious ears are still in 100 percent working order, unlike me, whose ears are numbed by years of wearing headphones and going to loud concerts.

Charlie grabbed all the blinking light thingies he could find before we entered the actual arena, so it was pretty much guaranteed that I wouldn't lose the kid. That is, until I got into the arena and all I could see was a sea of blinking lights. It looked really cool. LOSE your kid in the Sports Arena? He's SEVEN. Hold his hand. At all times. Period.

The heels are at least 4 inches high, and lemme tell you, I felt everyone of those inches about two hours into the show. I was in serious pain, so maybe it was a good thing that we left early. F*** me heels are always painful. Not a big surprise you were in pain. They seem to go well with your F*** ME dress though.

I told him that I used to sing "let's change the little stinky" whenever he had a poo-poo.

Well, he thought that was just about the funniest thing he'd ever heard. Poo-poo is always a guaranteed laugh with kids, at least mine anyway. And as their Mom, who should be teaching them things like class and appropriate humor, you should leave the poop jokes to Dad...that's what Dads are for.

Today, I'm going to get the keys to my house. I'm actually not allowed to move in until the 15th though, which is good because I was really sad this morning thinking about leaving Tommy's house. I love his house. I love his neighborhood and his community. I'm going to miss all the activity. Something tells me that I'm going to spend a night or two at Tommy's after the 15th because I'll be lonely. Just a thought....why didn't you look for a place to live in THAT area if it's so great??? Why look 10 miles away? If you can afford Kensington, you can afford PQ.

See you tomorrow, Diary.

[boris85]

The scary thing is that she's not joking about losing Charlie Chimp - she's acknowledging that it's a real possibility!

The music for Jungle Ball keeps going downhill every year. The backdrop for the show looks so hokey in the pics! And did anyone notice all of the empty seats!!!!

Also – I don’t think Loser’s parents ever did anything together. She’s mentioned several times that they had separate bedrooms.

[iamsheens]

Although the name Fatosaurus is amusing....it sounds too similar to something Tommy would use thinking he is being funny....

But they did drink together!!!!! It's the reverse osmosis. . when her parents drank, they looked worse to each other as the buzz intensified...not better~!

[RecoveringLstnr]

I just got home from Jingle Ball and I'm exhausted and going to bed! I'll fill in the gaps tomorrow but the night started with Jeff holding a cell phone on stage having the crowd thank his neighbors for watching their foster baby and ended with me overhearing a woman tell her husband she didn't know Little Tommy is so "heavy set". I had multiple Laura sightings and for tonight all I will say is, Laura IS fat.


:eek3: As soon as Jeff held up the cell for everybody to thank his neighbors I was annoyed enough to leave, but obviously didn't. During Duran Duran Laura and Charlie walked across the floor in front of me. Facing the stage, they were walking to the right of it. Laura was holding Charlie's wrist basically dragging him along and he was holding about 20 green glow necklaces. She paused in front of me for a couple minutes and she IS indeed fat. Her upper arms are alarmingly large, and no it was not the dress. Believe it or not her 73 buck outfits make her appear slimmer than she is up close. Yes I know the dress was a size M, but that says nothing when the top and bottom are made of elastic and therfore very stretchy.
:thumbdown Next, the intermissions between performances were longer than some of the performances themself. Nobody came on stage to announce delays or technical issues. Rob Thomas informed the audience.
:yawn: Jeff sounded the total opposite of sincere when announcing Laura and saying he was more proud this year than ever to have her on stage. Jer said NOT a word, but he did ask us all to sign the petitions in the concourse to save the farm animals.
:fro: To the lady who stepped on my foot and elbowed me when Lenny was on the floor in our row, act your age and send your under-size clothes back to the 80s please, and thank you!
:nuts: Hillary got on stage and introduced herself as "the one on the station after Jeff and Jer". Rick and Jen should have announced themselves as "the ones on after the one on after Jeff and Jer."
:pissed: Laura walked in front of me again at the end of Duran Duran, this time walking towards the left of the stage and looking like a cranky child and stomping off in boots that squeezed her legs like a sausage casing. This time she was not touching Charlie at all, just clomping off a few steps ahead of him. They headed up the stairs and that was the last I saw her.
:munch: The best part of the night was eating chocolate dipped cheesecake from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory cart.

:wavey2: To any of you who may have been on the floor last night, I was in row 17 near the sound area wearing a grayish silver tank and blank pants.

I rest my case! Laura IS a major shareholder in the Crisco factory. And people doubted my keen ability to judge fatness..

So, I needed a good laugh and I was going to check out the spewgrams pics from jingle ball (but the link was not working)

When I came across this http://jeffandjer.star941sandiego.com/timages/page/tommy_michelle_look1.jpg

I almost vomited. I can not get the disgusting image out of my head....*shiver* Oh that poor woman..having to kiss or lay next to that gross, gross man. He really is a blob.

AHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA I just saw some of the jingle ball pictures....Please tell me mooche is taller than Tommy the blob and she has to bend down like Katie Holmes does for Tom Cruise? Also, I thought gold diggers were supposed to keep their appearences (sp?) up? She is looking a smidge thick in the arms (no offense to anyone here. I just had a certian sterotype of what a gold digger looks like)

[DreamerGal]

Laura, you're a pitiful example of a parent. Selfish, self-centered, unwilling to take any responsibility for yourself, unwilling to grow up.

Blaming your seven year old son for getting bored ... where was Chip? Did his dads decide he's a bit young for a concert? Is it impossible for you to think of ANYBODY, even YOUR KIDS, ahead of yourself? Geez, woman! Get a brain!!! Get a heart!!! Get a soul!!!

Start changing now, because you WILL lose your kids. They have one parent who is an actual parent, and they will soon tire of your elementary school antics and pouting sessions and guilt trips.

And if your past behavior is any indication, once those kids are done with you, you'll be sitting on Tommy's bed in his basement shaking your head, wondering why your kids are so MEAN and don't know the meaning of the word COMMITTMENT!

You make me sick.

Just recovered from the shock of the Jungle Ball pics! Here are my initial thoughts:
1. Jeff looks like a fat old man - wait, he is a fat old man

6. Tummy looks stoned as usual.:puke:

The group shot proves they were made for radio.

Driving this morning, listening to Jeff stretch a 3 minute story into eternity....did these two attend the, "How to make a short story long" seminar?

For God's sake, I can't figure out which one is worse.

"Okay, here's what it is, this is a story about a couple we know who came to dinner and brought the dinner and also brought the bottle with them even though they brought the dinner and so the bottle was a house present because you know when you're invited to someone's house you bring a gift, right?" (Deep breath) "SO, Dave Roberts and his wife have been married for ten years so they were celebrating their 10-year-anniversary, so we hadn't seen them since they celebrated their anniversary of 10 years of marriage, so we invited them to dinner and they said, we'll come to your house only we'll bring the dinner and a bottles of wine. The bottles of wine came from the trip they took to Napa because they love Napa and to celebrate their 10-year anniversary they went to wine-country in Napa to order some anniversary wine....."

At this point, if you were on northbound 5 anywhere near San Clemente you heard a piercing scream eminating from a Volvo,

"AARGH!!! WILL YOU SHUT THE F * * K UP!"

Whew. Okay I'm better. Sorry for the profanity.

P.S. Regarding Laura's size....she doesn't have to hold Charlie's hand because he orbits her.

[Dawnski]

Driving this morning, listening to Jeff stretch a 3 minute story into eternity....did these two attend the, "How to make a short story long" seminar?

For God's sake, I can't figure out which one is worse.

"Okay, here's what it is, this is a story about a couple we know who came to dinner and brought the dinner and also brought the bottle with them even though they brought the dinner and so the bottle was a house present because you know when you're invited to someone's house you bring a gift, right?" (Deep breath) "SO, Dave Roberts and his wife have been married for ten years so they were celebrating their 10-year-anniversary, so we hadn't seen them since they celebrated their anniversary of 10 years of marriage, so we invited them to dinner and they said, we'll come to your house only we'll bring the dinner and a bottles of wine.

Okay Jake - was this what they actually said? Because this is exactly why I can't stand to listen to them any more. The stories drag on FOREVER!!! I have a 30 min. ride to work, and between their commercials and the long winded stories, I would never hear the ending.... Not that the ending is really worth hearing....

LBM FHBM

[Dawnski]

I went to Jingle Ball last night. The concert was very good. Lenny and Matchbox 20 were amazing!!! Duran Duran played a lot of new stuff and went on a bit too long for me. I didn't have any "Big Deal" sightings prior to the concert but when they introduced LBM she was wearing the dress...ugh! Jen came on wearing cute jeans and a coat. FH is HUGE and very short!!! I wasn't impressed with 94.1's contributions to the show. Each time they needed to change the stage out for the next performer 94.1 had the same 8 slides of the sponsors rotate. Why not show video clips or go live from backstage? It was very amateur. Then once the stage was set up the big deals would have to come on and thank the sponsors or introduce themselves for 5 minutes. I was shocked for the number of years they have been doing this that they couldn't do more to entertain the crowd while waiting for the next act. Once the Big Deals would get on stage I wanted to yell, "Get Off!"
That is all the insight I have...sorry not more jucier for you all.

It sounds like the "producer" (FH) was too busy walking to produce a professional show....

[Halinn]

Does anyone have a link for the jingleball pics...

I cannot believe Laura would even write about how horrible her son was acting at an concert on a school night!!!??? She is not a Mother to Charlie! She refers to him as the Kid??!!! Once again we applaude DC for doing the RIGHT THING!

Laura: GROW UP!!!

[Pebbles64]

"AARGH!!! WILL YOU SHUT THE F * * K UP!"

Yes, I wanted to "wrap" my hand around one of those wine bottles and clobber him (Jeff) on the head.

[Sapphie]

So, I needed a good laugh and I was going to check out the spewgrams pics from jingle ball (but the link was not working)

When I came across this http://jeffandjer.star941sandiego.com/timages/page/tommy_michelle_look1.jpg

I almost vomited. I can not get the disgusting image out of my head....*shiver* Oh that poor woman..having to kiss or lay next to that gross, gross man. He really is a blob.

AHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA I just saw some of the jingle ball pictures....Please tell me mooche is taller than Tommy the blob and she has to bend down like Katie Holmes does for Tom Cruise? Also, I thought gold diggers were supposed to keep their appearences (sp?) up? She is looking a smidge thick in the arms (no offense to anyone here. I just had a certian sterotype of what a gold digger looks like)

I had the same thoughts when I saw the pic. of the Blob leering over the Mooch in what I assume he imagines is a tender moment...I think we should make up funny captions to accompany the pic. and send 'em in.

A smidge thick Carol?...you are being kind in deference to the festive season maybe?....her arms and thighs are more than a smidge thick. ( Laura's arms and thighs however are way off the smidge scale) The dress Mooch was wearing did not look like the one Flubbs picked out for her.

Jake: Sorry you had a bad case of the regurgitations the other night. ( Your resulting "Twas the Night..." was quite brilliant though)...it seems that no sooner did you feel well enough to venture back to work the No-Go-Sham made you violently ill again...c'mere and rest your head in Angelina's lap.... :winkie:

[Carol]

Doesn't it look like she is bracing herself...like "oh god, here we go"

I do have to admit though, that Eddie is a cute lil kid.

Sorry, but I can't applaud a dad who hands off his 7 year old son to the mother, (and I use the term very loosely here)who was dressed like she should have been standing on the corner of Hollywood and Vine in order to attend a concert that would subject said son to all manner of age-inappropriate things. Don't tell me that Dave is ignorant of how his soon-to-be-ex-wife parents or that he has no choice in the matter.

[ElizabethAZ]

Don't tell me that Dave is ignorant of how his soon-to-be-ex-wife parents or that he has no choice in the matter.

I don't think he is ignorant of it at all....I think he lets her make mistakes so he can document them for ammunition later.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it was ridiculous for her to take a seven-year-old out so late on a school night anyway. Duh.

[Newer Reader]

Dear Diary,

I'm a little upset with my kid this morning. I missed Matchbox 20 because Charlie was "bored" and wanted to go home. BORED!?!? I said to him, "Listen, kid, you are backstage at the Sports Arena listening to Duran Duran, one of the greatest bands ever and you're BORED?" He agreed to sit through a few more songs, so we went to our seats. During the song "Rio," Charlie covers his ears and screams "I can't take it anymore!"

Who is this child, and what have you done with my real son? Maybe Evan will be my concert kid. In fact, I know she will. She's crazy like Momma. I also have to take into consideration that Charlie's precious ears are still in 100 percent working order, unlike me, whose ears are numbed by years of wearing headphones and going to loud concerts.

Well, take heart you selfish *#%)@!--thanks to you, Charlie's ears are probably no longer in 100 per cent working order. If the music was loud enough to hurt his ears and cause them to ring afterwards, then permanent damage occurred. See http://www.asha.org/NR/rdonlyres/A407BDBD-09E6-456B-A150-60817F720287/0/NoiseHearingLoss_Facts.pdf

How dare you feel "a little bit upset" (which of course means that you were very angry--I'm a parent, I know how it goes and DC members saw you stomping away) at your son for insisting that you remove him from a place that was harming his hearing. He had to make the decision that you should have made for him. I know you love your kiddos, but you just don't know how to really care for them, and you don't get the part about putting them first, always. Take a parenting class and start reading, please. It's probably already too late.

Aaargh.

Sapphie, sometimes in a divorce, one parent can't control how the other parent acts around the kids. It's a sad state, but that's the truth. Unless she's going blatantly outside the bounds of acceptable parenting habits, she will have the kids no matter what Dave feels.

He will be in contempt of court if he withholds the kids from LBM.

The best he can do is to talk to the kids and let them know what's safe and what's not, and let them know that they always need to be safe, whether they're with Mommy or Daddy. It's a fine line he has to walk. Doesn't want to alienate the kids from their mother, because they love her. But also wants the kids to be aware of their safety.

Unfortunate, but true.

Just because you do not agree with the way that your ex spouse parents your child does not mean that you can keep your child from the parent. I mean, obvious exceptions apply of course. Going to a concert marketed as somewhat family friendly (there were plenty of kids there apparently) might not be something every parent agrees with, for the most part I don't. But its not like she was taking him to a drug den, and packing him with coke to be a donkey mule, then tossing a blanket over his head while she turned a few tricks.

She just dressed like a hoochie, and tried to be a cool parent. Lord knows there are alot of parents who are guilty of the same thing. I am not saying she is a good, thoughtful, healthy parent by any means....I am just not sure that what she did was awful.

[Wabbitsd]

Ah, sheesh. poor LBM. she could have called a Taxi, given the kid the rest of her $209 from the checkbook, and told him to have the cab driver go get him an ice cream cone then take him back to College Area before midnight. She could have stayed to see her (has been) MB20, and Charlie could have had a cool tour of San Diego with a guy driving a cab for a living. What is wrong with that?

"But its not like she was taking him to a drug den, and packing him with coke to be a donkey mule, then tossing a blanket over his head while she turned a few tricks."

We're assuming this little quote above did not happen, right? Are we sure?

Lol oh Carol you make me laugh....I cant wait to see the pics from the show when I get home tonight!!!

I just have a hard time believing that our sweet Laura would dress like a hoochie momma...hahahaha

[Wabbitsd]

Dreamer, yah, Dave can be held in contempt if he doesn't let Laura have the kids, but scheduled visitation times etc., consideration of school nites, etc. etc. do apply as well.

[DreamerGal]

Dreamer, yah, Dave can be held in contempt if he doesn't let Laura have the kids, but scheduled visitation times etc., consideration of school nites, etc. etc. do apply as well.

You're right, of course, Wabbit.

But, the courts always strive to keep BOTH parents in the kids' lives. A trip to a concert, even if it happens on a school night might not be the best parenting, but the court will not consider that to be abuse or grounds for adjusting the visitation.

Pretty much, Dave needs to talk to his kids in a very sensitive way, getting THEM to be more grown up than their mother. Not an easy task, and it absolutely sucks that those kids have a child-Mom, and not one whose first priority is their welfare. Nevertheless, this is Dave's lot, and he has to do his best to protect his kids while still having to hand them over to LBM on a regular basis.

[DreamerGal]

By no means am I condoning LBM's behavior or her choices relating to her kids. I'm just pointing out the dilemma Davecain is in. I'm sure he prays long and hard every time he has to let the kids go with LBM. He knows who she is and how Britny-esque she is. It must totally mess him up on every level when they're with her. She's a real piece of work.

[Wabbitsd]

Good points, Dreamer. I keep hoping things will be the best for those kids...but with LBM sounding as if she thinks she will be getting full time custody of them...how bizarre. very very bizarre.

I would no way in heckola ever make a kid under 15 feel badly about not wanting to stay at those kind of stadium events. (at 15, they're fair game...anyone with teens or who has survived them knows this...LOL!) It's really exhausting for the kids--the whole thing, the noise, the crowd, the sound levels...everything is like sensory overload for kids.

Again, it's not so much that it was an event that Charlie got tired of, but LBM continually uses her kids as fashion accessories to her own enjoyment. And tosses a spoiled brat fit if they don't cooperate with her self-centered plans.

No wonder the poor kids know to harp out on cue that they love her, that she's their favorite parent, that she is special, talented, unique, and so pretty, of course--in essence, a BIG DEAL. They know darn well she'll dump them like the proverbial hot potato, just like she disappeared suddenly out of their lives already.

Now I will edit --

This is a film reference, any connection?

Seeing this would have made me turn around and leave before the concert ever got started. Anyone bring a bag of carrots to feed that horseface? (LBM, not the poor kid)

No fabrication. In fact, my version was Reader's Digest to the way this guy can stretch tales.

To make it worse, they were playing this god-awful "relationship" song Jeff is addicted to doing whenever he spins a "meaningful" tale.

Running alongside my profanity in my thoughts, the apparent irony of his telling a 10-year anniversary song and I don't think he's hit the 10 year mark in any of his marriages.

Jeff is like an obese carnival worker selling diet supplements.

Hey gang, long time lurker, first time poster. I found this website while I was searching for info on Laura's "problem".

This morning's segment Chanukah was real smooth, wasn't it? It's time to ditch the San Diego Chanukah song. She hasn't been the mayor of San Diego since 1992. What would Tommy say? When is the song coming out in paperback?
So when you said "Long Time Lurker" you meant, a few days? Because more than a few weeks or so would clue you in as to "the joke".

[Fatosaurus]

Ok, Fatasaurus, so you guys start in March to get arrangements made. ok. I would do the same thing for any major event. What's your point? And the proceeds that go to the charity are AFTER all the expenses... big deals like FH and his ilk are part of the expense.

If by "you guys", you are referring to Clear Channel employees, I suppose you are right. However, "you guys" does not include me as I do not work for any radio station.

[Fatosaurus]

Although the name Fatosaurus is amusing....it sounds too similar to something Tommy would use thinking he is being funny....

I'm much taller than Tommy...6 feet if that matters.

[Fatosaurus]

So when you said "Long Time Lurker" you meant, a few days? Because more than a few weeks or so would clue you in as to "the joke".

I found this thread about 3 weeks before Laura went back on the air. That doesn't mean I took the time to read all 15,000+ messages.

[DreamerGal]

You know what really burns me? How LBM says something like ... now, Evan will be her concert kid. First of all, the litte one is what? Three? PUUUURRRRRRfect age for grown up concerts, right? Second, I'm sure she told Charlie that ... "oh, Charlie ... since you got 'bored' during the concert, I'm now going to punish you by never taking you to a concert again. I'll take your sister from now on."

How many years will she hold this one over Charlie's head? How long will he suffer the fallout for being a 7-year-old?

LBM, you're a B#^%#^#%TCH!!! I hate what you represent and what you do to your kids. Leave them alone!!! Be a grown-up when you're with them. Get some freakin therapy!

Go to the cupboard and get a heaping bowl of grow the hell up!!!

(whew! Can you tell I'm in a foul mood? LBM just helps me bring it all to the surface. Okay ... I feel better.)

[DreamerGal]

Oh, and that pic of Tubby and his soon-to-be-ex-wife? His hand looks like it's crawling up to the zone on her chest I'm sure he noticed first about her. Gawd! How gross is that. He looks like a creepy pervert who found a girl asleep ... he's just "comforting" her, right? And, whoever said it before, she does look like she's gearing herself up for the "touch." (Okay, oh ... oh ... here he goes ... he wants to get "intimate," ... okay girl, keep your eye on the prize ... you've already got the rock. Let's focus on the deed to the house. Once that's signed, then you can start shoving him away when his slimey self starts wanting to rub up against you.)

The foul mood could continue ... I'm thinking of calling in sick tomorrow to avoid those who instill foulness in my mood. Needing a break and glad I've got this place to come and just pound the foulness out on the computer.

Jake! What you gonna change your name to? I vote for ... Jason? Mark? Paul? Hmmmmmmmm ... let's go for ... Brad!! Yeah, that's it! Brad!!!

Dear Diary,
I also have to take into consideration that Charlie's precious ears are still in 100 percent working order, unlike me, whose ears are numbed by years of wearing headphones and going to loud concerts.

Not a peep about him wearing ear protection either - huh?

Hey Laura, the next time you attend a Gwen Stefani gig, check out what her son is wearing - it's called ear protection!

[RedWillow]

Sorry, but I can't applaud a dad who hands off his 7 year old son to the mother, (and I use the term very loosely here)who was dressed like she should have been standing on the corner of Hollywood and Vine in order to attend a concert that would subject said son to all manner of age-inappropriate things. Don't tell me that Dave is ignorant of how his soon-to-be-ex-wife parents or that he has no choice in the matter.

If they have anything official thru the courts, he could be charged with contempt if he withholds the kids on her days.

They made a big deal a few days before, about how Jingle Ball is a "family" gig, and lots of folks bring their kids.

7 years old = The Wiggles IMHO.

[DreamerGal]

Not a peep about him wearing ear protection either - huh?

Hey Laura, the next time you attend a Gwen Stefani gig, check out what her son is wearing - it's called ear protection!

My Dad was down for Thanksgiving, and he came with us to a gig my son did at SOMA. (He's a drummer in a local band.) My Dad wanted to stand at the edge of the mosh pit -- what I think Tubby called the "circle pit" (what an A@#SS who's trying to be cool, but really can't!) -- and he was right in front of the speakers. Thank GOD my Dad had his ear plugs. He was able to hear us after the concert. And he did enjoy himself!

Anyway, FIRST thing I thought of was ear protection for my Dad. Of COURSE, I got ear protection for my kids when we took them to their first concert which was the 91X-Fest, years ago.

I really can't believe it, but I can't say I'm surprised that LBM, the totally-fake-bleached-blonde-self-centered-BIG-deal-Skanky-ho-child-mom, didn't think to protect the well-being of her child. He was her date, right? HE was supposed to be there for HER! NOT the other way around!

Gosh! Can't you guys give a girl a break? She's just trying to get out there and partay like any 40-something-totally-fake-bleached-blonde-self-centered-BIG-deal-Skanky-ho-child-mom would do! Geez! Give her a break, willya?!?!? Don't you KNOW Britney is her hero? (I think Britney is going to be giving classes on mothering ... LBM has already signed up at the Mesa College Annex!)

I've seen the syllabi from Learning Annex:


"The Mothering Mentor Program"

M -- stands for "Me." How can you possibly help little one's if you do not take care of your needs first? Learn to sprinkle "me" into every conversation! Let's practice:


"What about___?"

"Why ___?"

"What's in it for ___?"

"Why didn't you ask ___?"

O - stands for "Other people." This is something we'll spend no time on whatsoever. If you DO start to think of other's, see letter "M."

T - stands for "Too little, too late." This is something your children will learn about decision making.

H - stands for "Hubris" which, of course means, exaggerated self-pride. This is something you will need when you hit rock bottom and still think you're a "big deal."

E - stands for "Excessively self-involved." This is something your children will need to carry on the "Heder/Cain" name. Think "center of the universe" and good things will come your way!

R - stands for "Rotten Luck." This is your excuse for every failure you cause by making foolish, selfish, self-centered choices. You will need this to generate fan mail and deluded appreciation from stupid, feeble-minded fans who are obsessed with "celebrity" -- even local, low-grade, talentless, "celebrity."

Focus on these attributes and you can be a successful "mother" like LBM (and Britney)!

The Learning Annex thanks you.

You guys are cracking me up...

You know, dear, I wasn't trying to focus on the point that you don't work--that's something I think was quite clear. And your puzzlegram...sheesh. try to at least be original, creative, interesting, worth the effort, etc. etc. etc. And if you want to talk around in circles ala conch shell, why, this is just a sampling, an egg white beaten into a stiff peak--something that can be done without the least bit of effort.

If you are a troll fan of the clan, begone with you! I'll hold over your head the threat of my intimate connections (you let your little imagination do the walking) with Thor, the mighty god of Thunder and all that is loud and raucous (ask Charlie if his ears are still ringing) and he will wield his mighty hammer, and striketh the anvil and cause pain aplenty to rain down upon you.

"If by "you guys", you are referring to Clear Channel employees, I suppose you are right. However, "you guys" does not include me as I do not work for any radio station."

You know, dear, I wasn't trying to focus on the point that you don't work--that's something I think was quite clear. And your puzzlegram...sheesh. try to at least be original, creative, interesting, worth the effort, etc. etc. etc. And if you want to talk around in circles ala conch shell, why, this is just a sampling, an egg white beaten into a stiff peak--something that can be done without the least bit of effort.

If you are a troll fan of the clan, begone with you! I'll hold over your head the threat of my intimate connections (you let your little imagination do the walking) with Thor, the mighty god of Thunder and all that is loud and raucous (ask Charlie if his ears are still ringing) and he will wield his mighty hammer, and striketh the anvil and cause pain aplenty to rain down upon you.

With all that is holy, Wabbit, I salute you. You have struck the fear of Thor and all the Gods into my humble self ... I'm shakin in my boots. And if I were associated with the big deals and fakers, I'd be rethinking all my relationships right about now.

BeGONE with you all you trolls! In the name of Wabbit, BEGONE!!

Why, thank you, Dreamer! I hope these fiends are able to go elsewhere. You know, I have never been called up on like this...I kinda like it, in a humble "I'm buds with the Gods" kinda way....

Here yee .. Here yee... ( hey I tried my best )

Just remembered that I saved this on my pc.. thought I would post this before I relax & have a glass or two of wine while I watch a dvd..

LBM's new court date is Dec 11 @ 9 am

I can't wait to hear what the spewgrams excuse will be for her obviously non appearance tomorrow morning..or better yet she will still do the diary and say how terrible "everybody is to poor poor me..life isn't fair. Open your eyes baby and buck up! NOW GROW UP!

Just thought of something wouldn't it be funny as her kids grow ..hopefully somewhat normal (thanks to dave cain) that they will be more independant & responsible then she will ever be. Sad but true

Enough ranting now where is the bottle & glass

[califbrat]

oops.. I forgot for those without a calender near..

Court is TOMORROW!! Let the fun continue

Monday December 10, 2007 6pm: Today was a very emotional day for me! I’ve been holding off a little on confirming the letter and family we will do on the air a week from Thursday for breaking and entering and I finally picked it and spent most of the day working on taking care of the family. I will tell you more about the family later. What we do is we literally break into the home and set them up in a huge way with TOYS, CASH, CLOTHING, FOOD, and TOYS.

A few more families get helped off the air. Just know next Monday during the entire day my # 2 elf Steve Finley personally takes care of a few children and families. He’s been staring at letters all day long just as I did and finally picked 5-10 people to take care of. What a great guy. Too bad he isn’t good looking. Just kidding, so many girls have the hots for him. He’s actually going to help me Thursday morning as well.
Thank you STEVE.

So, over the next few days it’s all about gathering STUFF. I usually wait until after Breaking and Entering to get stuff for my children and friends and Michelle. One year I tried to shop at the same time for my family and Breaking and Entering and I get things mixed up. I think one year Vanessa opened up a present and it was a gift card for FOOD 4 LESS for one hundred bucks. She knew right away it was for the family on Breaking AND Entering.

I feel pretty good today. I took a nap and worked on the show and stuff. Tomorrow is my turn for SHOW AND TELL and I have no idea what to bring. I have an autograph from OJ from 30 years ago, when he was loved, but I don’t think people care about that autograph. EBAY here I come with that. I don’t know what to bring in yet.

Well, my head is on straight and I ate well today. I had baked chicken and a salad and lots of water. So, I’m hoping to get back DOWN…What goes up must come down. Right?

I’ll be in Chula Vista a lot this week being with my mom. She’s sounding really well. She started to call me in the morning on my cell to say HELLO. She’s funny. Everytime I pick up her call, I say HI MOM and she thinks I’m psychic, but it’s simply that she doesn’t have any idea CALLER ID exists. J This morning, she said, “Tomas, how did you know it was me?” Ya know, I’ve been crying all day long, BUT GOOD TEARS and now I’m starting to cry now. I swear I’m a little wuss.

All is well and all has been put forth for another breaking and entering this year.

GOD BLESS US EVERYONE!

I'd like to point out that XXXL mentioned an elf in his blog. Steve Finley is elf #2.

What a pathetic man, on a pathetic mission, to serve a pathetic need -- making up for his childhood lacking.

I'm about to advance a distasteful opinion.

Every year, FH finds families that "mirror" his past.

Single mom, dad (died, left, overseas, disappeared...), more than one kid at home; kids without basics, (hand-me-downs, which until FH's B & E, was a common occurance); not enough "balls" in the house (FH's "box-of-balls); food is scarce (hot dogs and rice); crying teacher who sadly feels helpless;.....

In fact...sometimes, mom has to ... "take the bus!!!" (Oh the cruelty!!) She even has to "wait" and then show up at home...."after dark!!!!"

Of course, NEVER are they homeless. They have an apartment -- but need a house. They walk to school -- but need a ride. They get free medical aid -- but need insurance. They get free T.V. -- but could use cable....

FH's B&E "family" is always "secure" in a home, but just lacks the plentiful "abundance" of America. Sometimes...their shoes have holes in them -- and they are cold in Winter!!!

So, 95.7....106.5.....100.7.....94.1.....always pitch in to give them a ****load of "stuff" that fails to move them out of poverty -- but anchors them into believing, "If we just had more stuff...our live's would improve."

Just as FH treats his own family, he treats the struggling; pile on some "stuff," ignore the causes of misery, layer "crap and more crap" upon the family....and it's "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

How about "breaking and entering" into uneducated, poor people's homes, and getting them to stop everything BEFORE they decide they need to drop crotch fruit because they "love" one another? Maybe, just maybe...the "adults" could act like "grown-ups" BEFORE they consumate their "love."

Then, FH and his minions could affect an effort toward being better parents to their own progeny.

Forget the food, clothes, balls, cars, lights, trees, appliances, wide-screens.........take every letter you receive, and send them condoms. Attach a note that reads:

"Hey, we love your desire to enjoy life...but you need to get a clue. It's the "sequence" of choices that define you -- not the stuff you "accumulate" by playing "hardship" to a stupid radio station!

[Sapphie]

For the record...I'm in Dave Cain's corner.. I'm very sympathetic to the situation he finds himself in. I just think that, (considering he holds the trump cards), he hasn't played his hand too well regarding custody. If it was Laura's weekend to have the kids and Dave is bound by the courts to comply, why didn't he hand over Evan too? Or are they allowed to make their own agreements as they go along?

Thought-provoking post Jake. I'm curious to know what happens to the B & E families the year after. Are their lives changed forever? Do they go back to having a Christmas with nothing again? It's a nice "instant gratification" but what happens next?

I'm not sure what happens. I know we, as a society, believe pouring "stuff" at a problem makes it go away.

The problem is, the conditions we are in, are based upon the belief that "stuff" is the answer -- so that is the only solution we seek.

J. Petit-Senn wrote,


"Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance."

What if B & E was designed to find out what people "enjoyed," and then sought to increase that by a small amount? Would it not send a more accurate message to the children living "without?"

Do kids from Chula Vista need bikes and t.v's and PS 2's and i-Phones...? I don't know. Do kids from Rancho Santa Fe need the same crap?!?

Or, do ALL kids need to be taught how to grow a desire for less, so that which they have becomes an abundance?

I'll give you this: the Sh*t I write doesn't sell "air-time" on Jeff and Jer.

"Life goes on without me....."

This last Sunday I took my two little ones to Father Joe's villages. We had brunch with Father Joe and walked around looking at his vast collection of Nativity scenes. The brunch was superb and cooked by the students of Father Joe's Culinary School. The students were all previously homeless but, by the grace of God, had, by various means, found themselves at one of Father Joe's facilities. Not all the residents go to the Culinary School but of the ones that choose to, every single person is guaranteed a full time job at the end. They were humble, grateful, joyful and best of all, hopeful. My children spent time talking with Father Joe and many of the resident children and their parents. They both decided that this Christmas they would like to volunteer at the homeless shelters. They are 10 and 9 years old and I am very proud of them....they don't get a ton of "stuff", they don't cuss, or flip the bird, or beg to be taken to the mall...so I guess they are not the kind of kids Tommy would be proud of.

[insightbyjake]

Today, Jer did this "original" joke. Only, the original joke had "Has a job and loves the Lord."

Naturally, this flies in nthe face of the reincarnation belief of Jer, so he cut and pasted the revised version from "Gibbleguts.com."

He passed it off as his own "cute" joke -- never mentioning the original source.

My thought:

Does he EVER cite others for his material? He constantly plagerizes "top-ten" lists, jokes, letters, articles, "best of" lists......

He is a sham, a thief, a fraud, and a man with the most out-dated sense of humor on the planet (with, perhaps, a nod to Jerry Lewis).




The Husband Store!

A store e that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. ... You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.

Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

[Sapphie]

He is a sham, a thief, a fraud, and a man with the most out-dated sense of humor on the planet (with, perhaps, a nod to Jerry Lewis).

...this is because he is the most out-dated man on the planet. His Jingle ball outfit was testimony to that. At least we won't have to worry about listening to his plagiarized crap in our afterlife.

In honor of Jake's insightful post, and SDGirl87's request for Word of the Day nominations that reflect the Season Id like to suggest the word abundance.....

Q. What is abundance?

A. It is the rear view of Flubby...( A Bun Dance)

[SDGirl87]

...at the lovely suggestion of the beautiful Sapphie, our word for the day is

ABUNDANCE

bonus points for clever use of the word!

[SDGirl87]

ps, Jake, will you marry me? I could not agree more with your post about B&E and to be honest, I had never even thought about it that way. You're 100% dead on right. You can still go on the cruise with Sapphie...I'm compassionate! "STUFF" doesn't fix the problem. Give a man fish, he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will eat for a life time. Bandaids don't fix the problem, they just cover it up.

[Smitty]

Does anyone happen to know why Jeff is never, ever, ever, EVER on the radio at 6:00am with the rest of the showgram? You only hear his voice chime in around 6:10 - 6:15am as if he was there the entire time but he wasn't. Everyone else is ALWAYS there but his voice is always absent. Is he busy in the back getting something done? Is he out getting coffee and donuts for everyone or is he just ALWAYS running late no matter what and can never seem to get his butt into the station prior to 6:00am? It never ceases to amaze me and it must really bother the rest of the show knowing that he doesn't take his job seriously.

[Texasgirl]

We don't get very far from our childhood, do we? So FH helps a family like his own and I am just as frugal as my mom. Both of us are financially far removed from our youth, yet some patterns are too ingrained to change much. Don't think I am giving Tubby a free pass to act like a jerk, but it does explain a lot.

I had to attend a seminar called "Poverty Training" several years ago. I expected to sit trapped by a speaker spouting some new educational theory while I went crazy trying to sit still. Ok, I couldn't sit too quietly, but the ideas were right on. Families learned to spend today because you never know what tomorrow brings and damn the consequences! Spend the welfare check buying groceries at 7-11 and run up the charge cards. We might be dead tomorrow. Someone else will clean up the mess left behind. They told of a family who had three kids in elementary school. Teachers had been drawing around bare feet so they could guess the size of shoes to purchase to replace the too-small ones and sneaking the kids food. One day it came to the attention of the teachers that this family didn't have a refrigerator. How can you have kids and no fridge? They pooled their money and delivered a new one. Well, the next week all three kids were absent and the teachers figured that they had moved. The following Monday the children were back, smiling and excited. Mom had sold the fridge and used the money for a vacation. No thought to the children, the value of a gift, or tomorrow afternoon. As long as we have fun now. Sounds a lot like people we know...

Just know next Monday during the entire day my # 2 elf Steve Finley personally takes care of a few children and families.

Of course, we've *got* to do our name dropping. See how important I am! See who I know?


I have an autograph from OJ from 30 years ago, when he was loved, but I don’t think people care about that autograph.

More name dropping about 'stuff'...


This morning, she said, “Tomas, how did you know it was me?” Ya know, I’ve been crying all day long, BUT GOOD TEARS and now I’m starting to cry now. I swear I’m a little wuss.

Can he pander any more to the soccer mom's that think he's just *so* wonderful?

I won't use *that* icon, but I'm hurling here, none the less.

Well, the best medicine for dealing with this? I listen to DSC or I listen to my MP3 player. I just can't deal with them anymore.

[SDchick]

'morning, all! I felt like I was working in the dark ages, our school's entire networking system was down for a whole day! I couldn't call out, get online, I couldn't print from my computer for Gosh's sake! It was ridiculous!

Anyway, I'm typing up sub plans for the rest of the two weeks; I can't take these pregnancy pains any longer! And no, I won't be asking for "donations"... I plan on having a happy and healthy next 2.5 months!

Back to my original thought before I got bloggish here!!!

I haven't looked back on yesterday yet, but wanted to know if there was any good info on the concert Sunday? Good and bad, that is!

[11th Reader]

I haven't looked back on yesterday yet, but wanted to know if there was any good info on the concert Sunday? Good and bad, that is!

I believe RecoveringListener went and came back to report that Boris was right and LBM has an ABUNDANCE of fat.

There was also an ABUNDANCE lack of parenting that night.

[SDchick]

:eek3: As soon as Jeff held up the cell for everybody to thank his neighbors I was annoyed enough to leave, but obviously didn't. During Duran Duran Laura and Charlie walked across the floor in front of me. Facing the stage, they were walking to the right of it. Laura was holding Charlie's wrist basically dragging him along and he was holding about 20 green glow necklaces. She paused in front of me for a couple minutes and she IS indeed fat. Her upper arms are alarmingly large, and no it was not the dress. Believe it or not her 73 buck outfits make her appear slimmer than she is up close. Yes I know the dress was a size M, but that says nothing when the top and bottom are made of elastic and therfore very stretchy.
:thumbdown Next, the intermissions between performances were longer than some of the performances themself. Nobody came on stage to announce delays or technical issues. Rob Thomas informed the audience.
:yawn: Jeff sounded the total opposite of sincere when announcing Laura and saying he was more proud this year than ever to have her on stage. Jer said NOT a word, but he did ask us all to sign the petitions in the concourse to save the farm animals.
:fro: To the lady who stepped on my foot and elbowed me when Lenny was on the floor in our row, act your age and send your under-size clothes back to the 80s please, and thank you!
:nuts: Hillary got on stage and introduced herself as "the one on the station after Jeff and Jer". Rick and Jen should have announced themselves as "the ones on after the one on after Jeff and Jer."
:pissed: Laura walked in front of me again at the end of Duran Duran, this time walking towards the left of the stage and looking like a cranky child and stomping off in boots that squeezed her legs like a sausage casing. This time she was not touching Charlie at all, just clomping off a few steps ahead of him. They headed up the stairs and that was the last I saw her.
:munch: The best part of the night was eating chocolate dipped cheesecake from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory cart.

:wavey2: To any of you who may have been on the floor last night, I was in row 17 near the sound area wearing a grayish silver tank and blank pants.
Just got caught up! Thanks for the scoop!!!!

[SDchick]

Oh, I meant, thanks for the ABUNDANCE of information!

[pax]

SDchick - I hope you have a great delivery. Before I popped out my own 2 crotch fruits I was a labor and delivery nurse. My wishes for you are the same as I wished for each patient I had: healthy mom and healthy baby are the best outcome. However it happens.

[SDchick]

Well, I may be talking to myself here right now, but I just saw the Jingle pics... and I have to say, I STILL HEART DURAN DURAN!!!

Yes, they're old, but they still look good, those hard years of partying didn't do too much damage! John Taylor, we would have looked good together I still say!

Some of those early pics of their fans did NOT look fan worthy! They look way too young! I bet they didn't have any buttons of them on their acid wash jackets, and I bet they don't have their original vinyl albums either!

And finally, about LBM, she's taken Charlie before, WHY wouldn't she at least bring ear plugs with her? I use ear plugs when I go to concerts!

[SDchick]

SDchick - I hope you have a great delivery. Before I popped out my own 2 crotch fruits I was a labor and delivery nurse. My wishes for you are the same as I wished for each patient I had: healthy mom and healthy baby are the best outcome. However it happens.

Yes, I'll be checking in, but I have dial-up at home, so that means limited patience for me to be on it!

This is my second (and 3rd). I have a 3 year old at home. She was born about a week earlier than Evan, so I've been enjoying the comparisons these past several years. Poor Evan!!!!

And thank you, DreamerGal, for the well wishes also! I'll still be around, just not as much as I'd like!!!

Tubby's Flog: Tuesday December 11, 2007 5:10am
Tuesday, December 11, 2007 at 12:03pm

Tuesday December 11, 2007 5:10am: I can't wait to do the show this morning and come home to start back up on breaking and entering for NEXT Thursday. I don't believe I have any more kid birthday's for the month so that means it's all about the holidays and to give to family, friends, and people. I love the holidays and I'm quick to always pay the bill at dinner through the year, because I just do. I love to treat people, because I just do. The only time I don't ever pay for anything is when I'm with Jerry. Jerry never ever lets me pay for anything. He just bought Van Halen tickets for both of us and 1st class tickets to MICHIGAN and MILWAUKEE (ya know, this may be the first time I ever spelled Milwaukee as an adult)....I gave him a check for half of it and he looked at me as if I offended him and rippped up the check. I love Jerry.

So, I'm totally into this year's breaking and entering family. More than any year, I want to bring JOY and bring Christmas to this family. There are many kids and my goal is to set up this empty place of shelter they are in currently and turn it into a home in less than 30 minutes. I'm doing it with my long time friends from Chula Vista that are always there AND I'm doing it with my new friends from the past few years AND with pleasure, THE REGULARS that walked and became friends this year are helping me too. That's what it's all about.

I just want to be home at 10:15am this morning after the show and start making calls on stuff. This year has potential to have the biggest crew working that morning that I have ever assembled. This crew will consist of my friends to ----- well, I'll leave it at that, because I don't want to spoil the moment on Thursday December 20th.

Earlier this month, my mind had so many things I was thinking and stressing about from birthdays, to Jingle Ball, to work, to everything, because everything was coming up in a few days to weeks, NOW they only things that are going on in my mind is:

Breaking and Entering
Christmas for my family and friends
Morning Show Lunch
Taking Care of my mom this week

Now, I'm not that stressed and I know after the holidays is over, then it's time to get back in to the 3 day mode because that's when we kick off DUDES FOR BOOBS and then it's Mile of Men 2008 and then the 20 year Thank You Party, OH NO, I'm starting to stress out again. :)

I'll tell you this: Okay, I finally have a NEW reason to work out for and to have a goal to be fit and healthy. After the 3 day I didn't have any goals to working out and I just ate bad. NOW, I think I'm going to use the 20 year party to be at 185. That's 5-6 months.....I can do it and it starts NOW, okay maybe after Christmas dinner, but it's starts now. :) Then in May we look for a home and then in the summer I hope I say I DO to Michelle. :)

[Wabbitsd]

thanks, Jake, for making me feel less like a Scrooge about this kind of thing. Not even useful "stuff," but the over the top useless stuff that will all be gone within a month or so.

Isn't that true, thought, that he keeps trying to do over his own childhood to make himself feel better?

Congrats, SDChick...hope things go great for you!

[DreamerGal]

Tubby "hopes" he says "I do" to Moochie next summer?

What is that? He "hopes" his mouth can form the words? He "hopes" he's able to actually commit to her? He "hopes" his children "give him permission?" He hopes she'll still be letting him touch by then?

Well, hope springs eternal, doesn't it?

[DreamerGal]

Oh, and I noticed from the Jingle Ball pics that Moochie most definitely did not wear the dress Tubby bought in his last episode of Tubby-Tube. I wonder why.

[GGmami]

I'd like to point out that XXXL mentioned an elf in his blog. Steve Finley is elf #2.

I just want to say that Steve Finley is great. A few years back I nominated a student's family for breaking and entering. They weren't chosen, but Steve called me and asked about all the kids ages, and what they were interested in. He called me again from Target while he was shopping. They brought a Turkey, but the family didn't have an oven, so he went and asked a neighbor to allow them to use their oven. They gave that family so much. Back then his name wasn't even mentioned on the showgram, he did it all anonymously. I wasn't even sure if it was Steve Finley the baseball player or just someone else with the same name, because he was so down to earth. So unlike FH who talks about how great he is at every opportunity.

Tubby's Flog: Tuesday December 11, 2007 5:10am
Tuesday, December 11, 2007 at 12:03pm

Tuesday December 11, 2007 5:10am: I can't wait to do the show this morning and come home to start back up on breaking and entering for NEXT Thursday. I don't believe I have any more kid birthday's for the month what? he can't remember who else has a birthday? what a dork. so that means it's all about the holidays and to give to family, friends, and people. I love the holidays and I'm quick to always pay the bill at dinner through the year, because I just do. I love to treat people, because I just do. Awww...isn't he just the best The only time I don't ever pay for anything is when I'm with Jerry. Jerry never ever lets me pay for anything. He just bought Van Halen tickets for both of us and 1st class tickets to MICHIGAN and MILWAUKEE (ya know, this may be the first time I ever spelled Milwaukee as an adult)Is this code for typing in caps? ....I gave him a check for half of it and he looked at me as if I offended him and rippped up the check. I love Jerry. Now he's gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that....

So, I'm totally into this year's breaking and entering family. More than any year, I want to bring JOY and bring Christmas to this family. so, because they don't have things, I guess there is no JOY in their lives until FH brings it.... There are many kids and my goal is to set up this empty place of shelter they are in currently and turn it into a home in less than 30 minutes. I'm doing it with my long time friends from Chula Vista that are always there AND I'm doing it with my new friends from the past few years AND with pleasure, THE REGULARS that walked and became friends this year are helping me too. That's what it's all about.

I just want to be home at 10:15am this morning after the show and start making calls on stuff. This year has potential to have the biggest crew working that morning that I have ever assembled.

What a fathead! Must be an abundance of GAS!

[Dawnski]

Oh, and I noticed from the Jingle Ball pics that Moochie most definitely did not wear the dress Tubby bought in his last episode of Tubby-Tube. I wonder why.

Maybe it didn't fit! Maybe she lied when she told him what size she wears! tee hee It's the beginning of the end! :)

Or maybe she didn't want to look like a hoochie.

[shello]

Wow, TOmmy's timeline for buying a house and marrying Mooch have changed to next summer-ish. Hmmmmm. ANd it's not ASAP. I guess maybe he is setting himself up for when it all blows up and Moochelle speeds off in her Mercedes.

I can't believe Jeff made it all about him and called the neighbor who was watching the foster baby during Jingle Bull. I guess I can believe it seeing as he needs the spotlight on him.

I wonder if Laura has any warm Christmas invites or where she'll be on Xmas eve and Xmas Day.

I hope that TOmmy allows the unknowing B&E family to have some dignity. I know they enlist the help of a loved one to get them in the lucky family's home so that family is unaware at the overabundance of stuff they'll receive. But I hope that Tommy does not go on and on about the condition of the home (but he probably will when he does his live B&E play-by-play) and describe ad nauseum about their situation. Tommy, we know they are needy but please allow those people to have some dignity.

(Side note: one year he got a family so much CRAP like bikes and large stuff they they would have had nowhere to put the bikes as they were living in a small crowded home. So that leave a whole other issue) Personally I think he should spread the wealth to many families.



Hope Jake is better.

You know what really burns me? How LBM says something like ... now, Evan will be her concert kid. First of all, the litte one is what? Three? PUUUURRRRRRfect age for grown up concerts, right? Second, I'm sure she told Charlie that ... "oh, Charlie ... since you got 'bored' during the concert, I'm now going to punish you by never taking you to a concert again. I'll take your sister from now on."

How many years will she hold this one over Charlie's head? How long will he suffer the fallout for being a 7-year-old?

LBM, you're a B#^%#^#%TCH!!! I hate what you represent and what you do to your kids. Leave them alone!!! Be a grown-up when you're with them. Get some freakin therapy!

Go to the cupboard and get a heaping bowl of grow the hell up!!!

(whew! Can you tell I'm in a foul mood? LBM just helps me bring it all to the surface. Okay ... I feel better.)

Maybe Evan will get her first contact high before she's 4! "Oh mommy, look at all the pretty colors, I am so hungry...."

[boris85]

Does anyone happen to know why Jeff is never, ever, ever, EVER on the radio at 6:00am with the rest of the showgram? You only hear his voice chime in around 6:10 - 6:15am as if he was there the entire time but he wasn't. Everyone else is ALWAYS there but his voice is always absent. Is he busy in the back getting something done? Is he out getting coffee and donuts for everyone or is he just ALWAYS running late no matter what and can never seem to get his butt into the station prior to 6:00am? It never ceases to amaze me and it must really bother the rest of the show knowing that he doesn't take his job seriously.

Jeff has to remove bunions from Krusten's feet and luffa her hairy back each morning; pick-up Leroy's dog grenades from the living room floor; make all of the kids' lunches; and strap-on his manhood. That takes time, my friends.

[boris85]

I don't know - but I see NIPPLE!!!!

She wasn't up to being Moochie the Hoochie? Why do I have trouble doubting that? Hey, even the lady at the store they bought Moochelle's dress at looked hoochie, IMHO that is. Def. too old for the outfit she was wearing.

[Carol]

You would think that instead of trying to turn a shelter room, into a "home", he would work on maybe using some dontations to help the family out with a couple months of rent to get them through so they wouldn't have to live in a shelter...

Oh well, at least he is trying to good. It just seems like maybe if the family actually is in a shelter (we of course don't have all the details and must be dragged along till next week) There is more he could do than just give them alot of crap.

[GGmami]

What a pathetic man, on a pathetic mission, to serve a pathetic need -- making up for his childhood lacking.

I'm about to advance a distasteful opinion.

Every year, FH finds families that "mirror" his past.

Single mom, dad (died, left, overseas, disappeared...), more than one kid at home; kids without basics, (hand-me-downs, which until FH's B & E, was a common occurance); not enough "balls" in the house (FH's "box-of-balls); food is scarce (hot dogs and rice); crying teacher who sadly feels helpless;.....

In fact...sometimes, mom has to ... "take the bus!!!" (Oh the cruelty!!) She even has to "wait" and then show up at home...."after dark!!!!"

Of course, NEVER are they homeless. They have an apartment -- but need a house. They walk to school -- but need a ride. They get free medical aid -- but need insurance. They get free T.V. -- but could use cable....

FH's B&E "family" is always "secure" in a home, but just lacks the plentiful "abundance" of America. Sometimes...their shoes have holes in them -- and they are cold in Winter!!!

So, 95.7....106.5.....100.7.....94.1.....always pitch in to give them a ****load of "stuff" that fails to move them out of poverty -- but anchors them into believing, "If we just had more stuff...our live's would improve."

Just as FH treats his own family, he treats the struggling; pile on some "stuff," ignore the causes of misery, layer "crap and more crap" upon the family....and it's "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

How about "breaking and entering" into uneducated, poor people's homes, and getting them to stop everything BEFORE they decide they need to drop crotch fruit because they "love" one another? Maybe, just maybe...the "adults" could act like "grown-ups" BEFORE they consumate their "love."

Then, FH and his minions could affect an effort toward being better parents to their own progeny.

Forget the food, clothes, balls, cars, lights, trees, appliances, wide-screens.........take every letter you receive, and send them condoms. Attach a note that reads:

"Hey, we love your desire to enjoy life...but you need to get a clue. It's the "sequence" of choices that define you -- not the stuff you "accumulate" by playing "hardship" to a stupid radio station!


Sorry, Jake this is the 1st time I don't agree with you completely. Not all of the families qualify for your harsh criticism (although I'm sure many do). The family I nominated 4 years ago had lost their father to cancer just weeks after their home was damaged in the fires. Some people really do just need help, not because of choices they made, but because of things that have happened to them.

You are right GGami, but I think Jake may have been speaking directly about the ones that Tommy actually PICKS.

Your point though, is why I LOVE what DSC does with their Grand a Day Giveaway.

I understand and agree with Jake about the idea that THINGS aren't going to make your life better. I've always thought that if they didn't go so over the top with one family they could help more families with things they need...not TVs and jewelry, food and clothes.

I don't believe I have any more kid birthday's for the month so that means it's all about the holidays and to give to family, friends, and people. Is that because you MAY have more kids out there that you are "unaware" of? With all of your spawn sowing...surely there is more than a remote possibility that there are more than just 2 Tubsy Sablan offspring....

[Wabbitsd]

GGmami, I'm still with Jake, and in the example you provided, there's a point that bugs me...so they went over the top with the "stuff." But the family lacked an oven. Now that's a fundamental. And they aren't that expensive...I don't know all the specifics, but i would have first gotten them an oven, hooked it up safely, and gone from there.

It's not the question of the family being deserving, it's the kind of response, I guess that I don't feel comfortable with.

[shello]

Shello, is the DC band available on Saturday around 1:00??

The DC band works for free but enjoys lumpia and egg nog and cheesecake if I don't drop it on the floor. Hey, the could even play at FH's wedding to Mooch although we know that will never happen.

Perfectly put. An oven would be nice. Pay their SDG&E bill. Make sure the family has their health care and dental care needs taken care of. Gift cards (without the option to purchase cigs, alcohol or Lotto tix) for grocery stores are nice. I do believe FH includes those. But to overload them with merchandise they have no room for could be overwhelming and creates another prob.

[boris85]

No diary entry from Laura Loser thus far. Maybe she's laid out in a bar somewhere, sulking over her lameness; or maybe she thinhs "diary" is spelled "dairy" and she's grazing with some look-alikes in a nearby pasture.

I'm with Jake too about the response, but to classify everyone as needing birth control because they came into an unfortunate situation is unfair. The only experience I have is with Steve who helps a family or families who were NOT chosen. Without getting into too many details, each child got an outfit and shoes, a nice meal for Christmas. Nobody knew they didn't have an oven until the food arrived. Anyway the point I was trying to make wasn't about this family in particular. Its just the idea that anyone who needs help is in that situation because of choices...that is not always the case. The whole over-abundance of stuff is wrong, I'm not arguing about that.

I do thank you for your nice words and allowing Jake and I to go on the cruise but I believe it's NewAgeGoddess who went on that trip...if I were to go on a cruise I can't think of a funner group than the Drama Clubbers as travel companions....can you just imagine what we'd all get up to?! :cheers:

DirtyBlindGirl: I have been thinking of you and continue to say prayers for you and your family especially as Christmas approaches.

B&E Christmas has very little to do with the actual family, but more about the showgram making the SHOWGRAM feel better and raising their ratings. After it's said and done, I'm sure they never give another thought to that family - hell, they rarely give a thought to their OWN family (LBM).

So true - how many kids can Jeff birth, adopt, foster and wives that he can marry and divorce so that he has something to talk about on the radio. Jeez-enough already.

I was actually talking about LBM - she only cares about the family when they're telling her how pretty she is and what a big deal she is.

Well, I may be talking to myself here right now, but I just saw the Jingle pics... and I have to say, I STILL HEART DURAN DURAN!!!

Yes, they're old, but they still look good, those hard years of partying didn't do too much damage! John Taylor, we would have looked good together I still say!

Some of those early pics of their fans did NOT look fan worthy! They look way too young! I bet they didn't have any buttons of them on their acid wash jackets, and I bet they don't have their original vinyl albums either!


SDChick - I still have my vinyl DD albums! LOL! I probably have that acid wash jean jacket around somewhere too. I miss the 80's - maybe I'll do my bangs tomorrow....

[GirlfromOR]

I just want to say that Steve Finley is great. A few years back I nominated a student's family for breaking and entering. They weren't chosen, but Steve called me and asked about all the kids ages, and what they were interested in. He called me again from Target while he was shopping. They brought a Turkey, but the family didn't have an oven, so he went and asked a neighbor to allow them to use their oven. They gave that family so much. Back then his name wasn't even mentioned on the showgram, he did it all anonymously. I wasn't even sure if it was Steve Finley the baseball player or just someone else with the same name, because he was so down to earth. So unlike FH who talks about how great he is at every opportunity.

I think that this is a wonderful testament to the type of person Steve Finley always portrayed himself to be. When he was a Padre he was always at charity events and helping out... he seemed to have a real servant's heart and seemd to CARE about people. He doesn't need to advertise his good deeds the way FH does. Steve Finley reminds me a lot of Tomlinson and the work he does off the field helping the community. FH is very self-serving and only does things if they keep the spotlight on him. He talks about God so much, yet I'll bet he's never read the Bible, because the Bible talks a lot about doing good work in secret.

[SDGirl87]

I think that LBM is Tubsy's family. Let's analyze. She has new shelter with practically nothing. She's down on her luck (gag), she has 2 1/2 kids, and no local support (a-hem). Seems like the perfect fit. Keep it all in "the fam" (gag again)

Seems like an ABUNDANTLY perfect choice. (gagging again)

Right, I just wonder why he continues to affiliate himself with the J&J show and FH. Hopefullly its just because its an opportunity to serve and not because of any affinity to FH.

I think it was supposed to be a springtime issue, maybe April?
I believe it was mentioned in one of her diary entries....

[Wabbitsd]

I already sent a complaint to the magazine about LBM's feature. I got a "thanks for your input" back.

GGMami, let's hope Finley has lots more to do and is too involved in stuff to listen to J&J...we can hope.

My husband was "purging" things in our house to make room for the upcoming invasion, and he wanted to get rid of my Rio and other albums!!! How dare he??? :)

p.s. I know I was singing a "swan song" on here this morning, but I don't want everyone thinking I'm outta here! I'll still be here looking, and trying to come up with clever things to say!

Hmm... and the listeners would have no way of finding out if it was LBM because it is all done in "secret." Interesting! Plus, her story has the whole absent dad thing that FH thrives on.

Which feature in particular did you complain about Wabbit?...the frightening bug eyes?...the equine countenance?...the masculine jaw?

[Texasgirl]

Did you hear...

Yesterday morning a caller was on the air, (I don't remember the topic) and about halfway through the call she said, "You guys make me puke!" You could hear a definite pause in the air and I just might imagine that they were thinking of our club. One of the J's continued to ramble on, but everyone else shut up for once. Too bad the caller wasn't actually complaining about the Spewgram, but was giving them some kind of backhand compliment.

Earlier today, I clicked on the Cindi Lou Who link on the star website so I could hear the little girl sing. They had included five minutes of the interview at the beginning so I was fast forwarding through to the song. One of the J's was asking her questions about acting when he pulled one of his classic ******* tricks. "So you were in the Sound of Music and the Grinch. And didn't I see you in the La Jolla Playhouse in (insert the name of some adult play. I'll be damned if I will go back and listen again to find the title)." His stupid comment completely confused the little girl and stopped the interview in its tracks. Jerk, you were talking to a child! Throw out your inane one-liners to someone who might actually get the reference. You don't have to prove your superiority by flummoxing a little kid. Double jerk.

I'm with Jake too about the response, but to classify everyone as needing birth control because they came into an unfortunate situation is unfair. The only experience I have is with Steve who helps a family or families who were NOT chosen. Without getting into too many details, each child got an outfit and shoes, a nice meal for Christmas. Nobody knew they didn't have an oven until the food arrived. Anyway the point I was trying to make wasn't about this family in particular. Its just the idea that anyone who needs help is in that situation because of choices...that is not always the case. The whole over-abundance of stuff is wrong, I'm not arguing about that.

Nice post. The birth-control comments were a flippant sarcastic remark toward people who don't plan their families.

The gist of the post was about "stuff" -- not people. I would never be down on people who hit bad times -- even those with too many kids.

We all have "for the moment" enjoyment, and we all have "long-term" needs.

Some toys, some games, some bikes....those are great. But people in hardship fear energy bills, gas prices, medical needs, dental visits for kids,.....

I've been poor. My family (of 8) lived in a small home back east and my father was pulling $6,000 a year. Even with an inflation adjustment, it was below poverty.

My school clothes were my older brother's school clothes from last year, my bike was refurbished....blah blah blah.... the point is, we had food, shelter, and family.

When we (most of us who post) were young, our parents had one goal: Provide a structure of love and support. Food, clothing, a roof over our head, and clothes for school.

So many parents today (FH and LBM in particular) are childhood "cruise directors."

It's about "fun" and "play" and "stuff" and more "stuff...."

B & E Christmas is a wonderful idea, but it would be cool to see 10 families get a reprieve, rather than one family over-stuffed with the American Dream

insightbyjake:...nice reference to Jabba on a previous page :)

I'm impressed! That was an obscure reference.

How did you make the connection to Jabba the Hutt?

Again, I'm impressed!

I would like to personally thank LBM for her usual bad judgment! For some unknown reason I actually had the show on this morning while running errands with my 4 year old. LBM was getting ready to play the dirt line messages (really, how dumb are these messages anyway?) and mentioned something about kids in school. The first message she played was a guy stating that he had seen Santa drunk and laying in an alley. I do not know how the rest of the call went because I changed the channel immediately. What was she thinking putting that on the air at all? Who would think such a ridiculous call would be funny in the first place? (yeah, I know.. her, aka, Mother of the Year!) So thanks LBM for putting me in the position to have to answer questions from my child regarding Santa laying in an alley. I appreciate it. Why don't you try using your brain for once... assuming it is not completely fried.

Thanks for letting me vent

As stupid a thing that was for her to do, all I can think about is what your expanation was to your child. Please, do tell!

SDChick - I still have my vinyl DD albums! LOL! I probably have that acid wash jean jacket around somewhere too. I miss the 80's - maybe I'll do my bangs tomorrow....

I can only assume the two of you have severe presbyopia (which presumes a diminished capcity to focus).

Rule # 1: If your body doesn't look the same in your 40's as it did in your 20's, you may not wear any contemporary clothing.

Rule # 2: If more than 10 years has passed since you last changed your hairstyle, you may not go out in public.

Rule # 3: Real men, those who have some testosterone in their body, do not "frost their tips," nor, do they use "product."

Rule # 4: If you EVER have to use the phrase, "They still look good,..." they do not look good!!!

I agree with you again...so life is as it should be on the DC. And to think I mistook you for someone from a very small family. :)
My family saved up money every year to go on road trips and camp along the way. We didn't get things, we got experiences. We weren't poor, but my parents weren't frivolous (Sp?) spenders. I hope I can raise my children with the same values, even though we're surrounded by materialism.

Oh, and I noticed from the Jingle Ball pics that Moochie most definitely did not wear the dress Tubby bought in his last episode of Tubby-Tube. I wonder why.

Speaking of Jingle Ball pics.....

Logging on to the Jingle-Ball photos…69 pictures….some thoughts….

Picture 4: Why is the right side of his haircut so much shorter than the left?
Pic 5: “Vertical stripes, babe…..Vertical!”

Pic 6: “Blue –jean sale! Buy five pair get a shamrock top for free!”

Pic 9: “Oh my God! I need some dark glasses to keep this woman away!”

Pic 10: Guy on the far left of photo…“Who’s the chick in the purple? She makes my privates itch!!”

Pic 13: Vanessa…”Oh my God, who is this IRA wanna-be and why am I forced to stand next to his, ‘open-collar, head-dipped-low-am-I-groovy-baby?’ body?”

Pic 15: “Move it along mates! Before they figure we’re losing our youth!!”

Pic 19: Guy-in-scarf: “I should have saved my money…I should have saved my money….I should have saved my money!…”

Pic 21: “Hi, We’re the leaders of the ‘wide-hip,tight-jean,-bleached-blonde-blacktop-which-shows-our-cleavage’ club!”

Pic 23: Jeff: “Let me turn my hearing aid up!!”
Jeff’s kid: “Is there somewhere I could crawl into and die?”

Pic 24: “How many of these do we have to sew together to fit us?”

Pic 25: Jeff: “Thank the good lord I have a place to rest my arms!!”

Pic 27: Jerry: “Hey Randy, is that photo over my right shoulder from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?”

Pic 28: Jerry: “Give it up to the four ugliest knees on the planet!”

Pic 29: What the hell is this beautiful girl doing here?

Pic 34: “Sprockets?…Or,….I’m the Firestarter!”

Pic 36: “Where are the wheelchairs!!!???”

Pic 48: Tina Fey called….she needs her character back.

Pic 49: Far right….pink hat….the token pretty girl at the show. (She is cute)

Pic 50: Winners of the “worst shirt…worst hair….ugliest chest-tattoo contest!!!!

Pic 51: “You lied to me!! You said this was a ‘cool’ gig!!”

Pic 58: Oliver called from 1968..….He needs his jacket back.

Pic 61: “We comp this gig and we do the set-up?…..J & J SUCK!!!”

[Elton]

I would never be down on people who hit bad times -- even those with too many kids.

How many is "too many"?
If it's more than one can care for, LBM has "too many" at two.

[SDGirl87]

I figured she was counting Chips.

Yup. Counting Chips :)

[Wabbitsd]

Sapphie, I hit the whole bingo card when I complained to SD Family...about how inappropriate it was to have a story on her, and how it seems to totally disrespect working women who don't put themselves in front of everyone else...especially their families, and I was appalled that they were going to "reward" her for her path of destruction.

"Thank you for your input."

Wednesday December 12, 2007 3:45am: Last night was truly one of the best nights of my life of course it was, it was all about you, idiot. . I was surprised by about 40 of the regulars from all the walks at my house. It was a top secret well thought out plan to come over to my house when I wasn't expecting it and bring Christmas to my house. It was basically, a reverse breaking and entering ON ME. double point score for use of all caps

What it was for was to just all get together and show appreciation for one another so they're going to do this at all 40 homes? YIKES.and the regulars gathered around my front door and sang Christmas songs when I opened the front door, there was the photog from tommytube shooting away at me while the singers sang so THAT's next week's Tubby Tube. Good to know. . I didn't realize who it was at first until I saw a regular or two when the lights from the camera went down. well who did you think it was? Channel 8 news with cameras, because all of San Diego wants to see you in your skivvies (ok...someone please gouge my eyes out) and have the news crew sing carols to you?? At that time, I walked over to everyone and hugged them.EWWWWWWWWWW I knew everyone there, except two that were guests of the regulars sorry, guests.. They were all looking like the holidays what does a holiday look like? which holiday? my personal favorite is Arbor Day. Was anyone dressed like that?and they were all HOT LOOKING oh, summer holidays, got it. I usually see these people without make up and first thing in the morning and it's not a pleasant site at times-----:)Gee, welcome to our FULL TIME world there Tubsy Just kidding I'm not, but last night almost looked like a Miss America Pagaent because all of them were dressed up and THE MOST prettiest of them all was a guy named EJ,not that there's anything wrong with that just kidding again,oh, humor. I get it. was MICHELLE.

From what I hear, Michelle along with GAIL, BRAD G, AND ROBIN WILLIAMS (no, not that one) were the lead instigators and they came in to my house with my fridge as empty as can be and the house not picked up so, a normal day, gotcha, but THEY BROUGHT clever...TRY to take the light off of yourself by using ranDOM CAps.everything from the food, the booze gee, that was a great thing to do, bring booze into the house of a recovering addict. I thought you weren't drinking anymore??? Sobriety, remember?, the drinks, the desserts, the napkins, the cakes, the salad, and everything else including GIFTS for all.

The one gift that was amazing was actually FOR ME.double word score for use of caps From what I hear, the regulars found out how to dedicate a resting bench at the start of Cowles Mountain in my name. The bench will say something like WE WALKED AND BECAME FRIENDS THANK YOU TOMMY SABLAN triple word score for use of caps AND personal nameyou are a stud muffin and hot sexy man we all want your hot monkey loveewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww OR something like that, but really: They’re dedicated a bench to [B]me and I think You know how to think? that's news to usthat's really cool. A bench with some dudes name means he's a war hero or saved a horse from a burning barn or something like that actually no, it means that someone paid the money to have someone else memorialized, usually a loved one, after someone has died. War heros have statues. , NOT a dude who was trying to lose weight AND STILL IS nice save there, and in caps. Impressive of course and met up with several strangers and in a course of a year, they all became friends and last night capped it all off with a celebration at my house with my dirty laundry on the floor and no toilet paper in the bathroom.again, just another ordinary day How embarrassing, but they really surprised me.please tell us you at least had CLOTHES ON??? (shudder) IF Michelle and I had our marriage license, I would of called my mom and my children as a courtesy to let them know that you don't really give a crap what they think, you are going to do whatever you darn well pleaseand Michelle would of done the same why would she call YOUR mom and children?? and I would of asked all of them for their blessing I thought you already did that...remember the whole build up? Won't get engaged without talking to my kids first, Mom loves her blah blah...to get married right then and there, because it was truly the right moment with FRIENDS Oh...FRIENDS in all caps. Nice touch. at my house. EVEN Laura was in on it let me guess, she brought the booze? I wonder how much SHE contributed to the bench...after all, she only has $209 until pay day.. It was 10:26pm when the last person left and it was just MEdouble word score for use of caps, Laura, and Michelle talking about it all and eating all the desserts. I guess my diet starts up again today. and tomorrow, and the next day and the next day, and pretty soon it will be New Years and it can be your new resolution!:)

Thank you so much to my friends who came over last night. One year ago we were all strangers, NOW TODAY, we are all best of friends best of friends? Interesting. My best friend (singular) has been in my life for 10 years. My other very close friends have been in my life for at least that long.who I will hug when I see them again isn't threatning someone a crime of some sort??, okay maybe not a hug, but you know what I mean.insert appropriate slutty music and leering grin here, not that there's anything wrong with that.

It was so frickin cool.

Oh brother! What a bunch of butt kissers.

[des1969]

PLEASE tell me I did not hear this right...please tell me that they are actually dedicating a bench to Tummy. PLEASE tell me that when our fighting heros are dying in Iraq, when our firefighters are risking their lives to save our city and our homes, that there are people out there that actually think FH is deserving of such an honor. Are you KIDDING me?

[11th Reader]

I'm expected to believe that he didn't know about this? He's the one that sets up the TubbyTube...how can he NOT know that they were going to do this. FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE. Oh wait...this is the Spewgram we're talking about...

It's the holidays, at least feign sincerity in a way that I can believe you!

[boris85]

First of all - that will have to be a bench made of reiforced steel and titanium to hold Tummy's massive girth. And, chances are, he paid for it himself. What an idiot. Oh, I'll sit on it alright, with my unwiped, naked butt.

In terms of today's Loser report - Laura's "I'm so pathetic diary" mentions her mediation yesterday and the fact that she did not pick Evan up from school until 6pm. She was the last one there and was worried that momma had forgotten her!! Loser!!!! Then she complains that she can't go XMAS shopping this afternoon for the others on the show because she'll have the kids with her. Laura - how do you think everyone else does it? If you were actually a parent who raised her kids with respect, love, and discipline, you could take them places (and of course, if you weren't so lazy).

Laura's Dairy Dec. 12

Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 11:29am

Dear Diary,

Ok, so here was my day yesterday:

4:30am...wake-up, shower, apply make-up
5:45-10:00…work (if you want to call it that)
10-12pm…unsuccessful Christmas shopping. Now, I have to find three things for three people on the show by 2pm today because our big Christmas Lunch is tomorrow…and I have to pick my kids up at 2:30pm and there's no shopping with two kids in tow. I know I won't be able to take it.
12-1pm…prepare for Mediation
1:30pm-5:45pm…Mediation. BRUTAL
5:45pm-6pm…speed to Evan's school to pick her up. Poor little lady was the last kid there. Oh, I felt terrible. Horrible. I tried to explain to her that Dadda and I had an appointment to work things out. She ran and jumped into my arms and said that she was so scared that I wasn't coming. Thanks for making Momma feel like more of a loser, kid.
6-7pm…The ladies (Ev and I) do dinner at Chipotle. Evan was so excited that it was just me and her at dinner that she kept getting up from the table to do a happy dance.
7:10pm…meet Dave in Wal-Mart parking lot (Klassy) to do the hand-off and kiss my sweet boy.
7:33pm…arrive at the house (Tommy's house) to find a house-full of people, Christmas music, presents, tons of food TONS and drinks galore. I make my way into the kitchen to find Tommy next to the stove holding a framed picture of a bench.

Check this out: Michelle pulled together all the regular walkers and they surprised Tommy by coming to the door and singing Christmas carols. The bench was a memorial at Cowles Mountain to Tommy from all the walkers. It was so cool to experience that moment. I was so proud of him and so in awe of Michelle because, I tell ya what, she loves that man! It was so fun to walk right into a full-fledged Christmas party after the day that I had. It definitely took my mind off the heavy topics I was dealing with earlier in the day.

I am at a loss for any further words because at this very moment, I have no idea what my future holds. There might be some serious changes, changes that I never imagined before yesterday.

I also realized that I will be broke for the next few years. That's not a fun thought. Merry Christmas. Sorry if I got all negative. I do get to see my babies today, so there's the glass-half-full thought to end this entry.

See you tomorrow, Diary.

[Sapphie]

5:45pm-6pm…speed to Evan's school to pick her up. Poor little lady was the last kid there. Oh, I felt terrible. Horrible. I tried to explain to her that Dadda and I had an appointment to work things out. She ran and jumped into my arms and said that she was so scared that I wasn't coming. Thanks for making Momma feel like more of a loser, kid.

Telling your three year old about your mediation appointment? Yeah, I'm sure Evan understood what that was all about....and all Laura's worried about is how her child's comment makes her feel....

[Sapphie]

Jake: It wasn't too difficult...I knew I'd heard that phrase somewhere before...I have the Star Wars DVD set...so after poking around the murky recesses of my memory banks for a while it suddenly clicked. I think it's from Return of the Jedi.

Wabbit: Just goes to show that the Family Magazine is only interested in selling copies. Quality content?...not so much...

SDGirl: Your pithy comments to Tommy's blog this morning were hilarious :)

[garybear]

PLEASE tell me I did not hear this right...please tell me that they are actually dedicating a bench to Tummy. PLEASE tell me that when our fighting heros are dying in Iraq, when our firefighters are risking their lives to save our city and our homes, that there are people out there that actually think FH is deserving of such an honor. Are you KIDDING me?

To add more horror to the bench saga, I found this on Mission Trails' site:
Sponsorship opportunities, which include a plaque that honors or memorializes someone, are available for park benches and picnic tables at designated locations in the park...Sponsorships range from $1,500 to $3,500 depending upon the item and the location in the park.
These people could not find anything better to do with that kind of $$ besides pay homage to FH...give me a break. Try donating it to someone/family that really needs it and not to someone that will roll around like a pig in mud because he has his very own park bench.

[Sapphie]

garybear:
someone that will roll around like a pig in mud because he has his very own park bench.

aaaahahahahaaa!....come back Wonk......

[Wabbitsd]

Does anyone have any idea why Laura and Dave do the handoff thing in shopping center parking lots? I think it is so odd...I could understand if someone like FH is abusive and you don't want them knowing where you live, but Laura knows where Dave lives, and Dave has let her stay overnight there, even.

Handing kids off like that is horrible. Can't the two of them SOMEHOW be civil enough to make it a pleasant experience for the kids, and not a battleground?

And this is the saddest thing I can say I remember from LBM..."Thanks for making Momma feel like more of a loser, kid."

Even writing that down makes me want to call the mediator and suggest they limit LBM's visitation to half an hour each leap year.

[11ListenerNot]

I'm expected to believe that he didn't know about this? He's the one that sets up the TubbyTube...how can he NOT know that they were going to do this. FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE. Oh wait...this is the Spewgram we're talking about...
----------------------------------------------------------------
I thought the same thing, but a bunch of bs...On a sad note our office has switched from Jack 100.7 to star gag..barf...it gets a better connection in our office. I'm trying to ignore everything, but I did hear something just now, and please tell me that I'm hearing things. Laura just gave Jeff a plaque that says "father of the year". Dear God, now he will want more kids!

[11ListenerNot]

Also, just when you think Laura's diary couldn't get more pathetic, I read today's entry. Does she really think that her day is so much worse than the rest of the world?. I'm sure a lot of us start our day at home taking care of various commitments, commute to and from work, put in a full 8 hour day,
go home and take care of evening commitments. Now THAT is a typical day for most. She makes me sick

Laura's Dairy Dec. 12

Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 11:29am

Dear Diary,

Ok, so here was my day yesterday:

4:30am...wake-up, shower, apply make-up Check, me too. Up at 4:30, shower, dress, make up, feed dog, leave for work.
5:45-10:00…work (if you want to call it that)Now see, this is where we start going different directions. Arrive at work at 5:30, actually WORK all day until 2:00, then go to boss' house to work for 2 more hours at the other office.
10-12pm…unsuccessful Christmas shopping. Now, I have to find three things for three people on the show by 2pm today because our big Christmas Lunch is tomorrow…and I have to pick my kids up at 2:30pm and there's no shopping with two kids in tow. I know I won't be able to take it.see above. 10-12 I was still at work, working.
12-1pm…prepare for Mediation Still at work...
1:30pm-5:45pm…Mediation. BRUTAL Still at work until 4:00. My own mediation, 10 years ago, took place outside of normal work hours because my now ex and I both had full time jobs. It's not supposed to be easy, but it's a heck of a lot less messy than what's coming if this doesn't work. (insert momentary moment of compassion...mediation IS tough)
5:45pm-6pm…speed to Evan's school to pick her up. Poor little lady was the last kid there. Oh, I felt terrible. Horrible. I tried to explain to her that Dadda and I had an appointment to work things out. She ran and jumped into my arms and said that she was so scared that I wasn't coming. Thanks for making Momma feel like more of a loser, kid.It's part of being a Mom...having your kids say stuff to you that is hurtful. Wait until she tells you that she hates you. It's coming. Perhaps calling the school to have the teacher tell her that Mommy is running late but will definitely be there, and maybe even telling her yourself in the morning would have helped.
6-7pm…The ladies (Ev and I) do dinner at Chipotle. Evan was so excited that it was just me and her at dinner that she kept getting up from the table to do a happy dance. I was a post-production Christmas party with my church choir, orchestra and actors. We had a lovely time, thank you.
7:10pm…meet Dave in Wal-Mart parking lot (Klassy) to do the hand-off and kiss my sweet boy. Still at the gathering, probably singing carols with the choir by now...totally sober (not a drop of alcohol present), and very much where I wanted to be...with people I care about
7:33pm…arrive at the house (Tommy's house) to find a house-full of people, Christmas music, presents, tons of food TONS and drinks galore. I make my way into the kitchen to find Tommy next to the stove holding a framed picture of a bench. Wait, according to Tubsy, YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS...and was in on the planning?????? I'm confused.

Check this out: Michelle pulled together all the regular walkers and they surprised Tommy by coming to the door and singing Christmas carols. The bench was a memorial at Cowles Mountain to Tommy from all the walkers. It was so cool to experience that moment. I was so proud of him and so in awe of Michelle because, I tell ya what, she loves that man! It was so fun to walk right into a full-fledged Christmas party after the day that I had. It definitely took my mind off the heavy topics I was dealing with earlier in the day.Ok, how many others KNOW that Tubsy wrote this paragraph? It is 100% his linguistic style (if he has one??) and verbiage. Nice try to make yourself look good Tubsy. BUSTED

I am at a loss for any further words because at this very moment, I have no idea what my future holds. There might be some serious changes, changes that I never imagined before yesterday. None of us knows what tomorrow holds. That's why we live by ONE DAY AT A TIME. Live today as if it's the last...and realize that no matter what tomorrow brings, it's going to be ok.

I also realized that I will be broke for the next few years.Welcome to reality.
That's not a fun thought. Merry Christmas. Sorry if I got all negative. I do get to see my babies today, so there's the glass-half-full thought to end this entry. maybe you could try being their MOM today...you know, spend time with them, take them to the mall to see the pretty lights and feel the fun of the holiday season. Maybe visit Santa and get some hot cocoa? You know, KID stuff.
See you tomorrow, Diary.

The 2 of them have given me lots to work with today! YIPEEEEEEEEE

Bravo, I couldn't have come close to your wittiness!!

[RowdyOne]

... I did hear something just now, and please tell me that I'm hearing things. Laura just gave Jeff a plaque that says "father of the year". Dear God, now he will want more kids! I heard it too, and the 15 minutes of drivel that went before included Elizabeth's voice message to Jeff telling him that she'd lost a tooth...played at least three times!!! And quit already with the little girl singing the grinch song over and over and over and over and over.

SDGirl: You are certainly in fine fettle today...I'm gonna have to start a separate pith list just for you. :) Thooper!

[11ListenerNot]

Tubbytube is up and running showing the ahummm (surprise party), yea right...let's see what kind of acting is performed in this fake piece of c**p

[Layla]

Perhaps we should all do a break down of yesterday to show her that NORMAL people actually fill those hours with work, and taking care of their homes and families, and not blaming said families when said normal person is feeling down.

[GGmami]

Also, just when you think Laura's diary couldn't get more pathetic, I read today's entry. Does she really think that her day is so much worse than the rest of the world?. I'm sure a lot of us start our day at home taking care of various commitments, commute to and from work, put in a full 8 hour day,
go home and take care of evening commitments. Now THAT is a typical day for most. She makes me sick

Wouldn't we all love to have time in the day to go shopping without the kids, only work 4 hours & go out to dinner?

[Elton]

LBM called Tubby's bench a "memorial."
Does that mean he will do us all a favor and go away soon so all we have are the "fond" memories? (Memorials are usually for dead people!)

5:30am wake up, shower, no time for makeup!
6:30am leave for work - 45 min. drive - I can't afford to live close to work.
7:30 - 4:00 (including working through lunch)WORK!
5:00pm arrive home, start cooking dinner, read mail while dinner cooks, help high school daughter with homework.
6:00pm eat dinner, clean up kitchen
6:45pm start to wrap presents for Marine family I'm sponsoring anonymously for Christmas. notice that one present is broken, so..
6:50pm head to mall to return broken present and pick up unbroken present!
8:30pm wrap presents for Marine family
8:45-9:15 practice banjo. No time for TV tonight!
9:15 - 10:00 read book (Thursday Next series - they are good!)
10:15pm bed

A little crazy due to Christmas coming up, but pretty typical. A day in the life of a normal person.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing!

Laura's Dairy Dec. 12

Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 11:29am

10-12pm…unsuccessful Christmas shopping. Now, I have to find three things for three people on the show by 2pm today because our big Christmas Lunch is tomorrow…and I have to pick my kids up at 2:30pm and there's no shopping with two kids in tow. I know I won't be able to take it.

1:30pm-5:45pm…Mediation. BRUTAL


Wait, let me get this straight...she has to pick up the kids at 2:30 p.m., but she's in mediation from 1:30 pm - 5:45 pm. Did I miss something? Has she figured out how to be in two places at once???

Seriously, she had to have known that a mediation starting at 1:30 would not be finished in time for her to pick up her kids at 2:30. When issues of custody, etc. are involved, I would think it would take more than an hour to resolve. It's a mediation resolving (or attempting to) major life issues, not a nail appointment. She alotted more time (2 hrs) shopping for gifts for the shamgram that she did for the mediation!!!!

[Sapphie]

Catty...it was confusing but here's how I understood it:


Ok, so here was my day yesterday: Tuesday

10-12pm…unsuccessful Christmas shopping.Still yesterday (Tuesday)

Now, I have to find three things for three people on the show by 2pm today Today is actually today, Wednesday

because our big Christmas Lunch is tomorrow… Thursday

and I have to pick my kids up at 2:30pmToday, Wednesday

[cattychathy]

Catty...it was confusing but here's how I understood it:

Tuesday
Still yesterday (Tuesday)
Today is actually today, Wednesday
Thursday
Today, Wednesday

Ahhh...I see. Thanks for clarifying. LBM's writing style is so clear and concise, I don't know how I could have misinterpreted it. Maybe it's because I don't have a degree in journalism from state.

[Smitty]

I heard it too, and the 15 minutes of drivel that went before included Elizabeth's voice message to Jeff telling him that she'd lost a tooth...played at least three times!!! And quit already with the little girl singing the grinch song over and over and over and over and over.
This is simply unbelievable. Laura should have given that plaque to its rightful owner DAVE CAIN! He is CLEARLY father of the year for 2007!

[des1969]

I also realized that I will be broke for the next few years

My guess? She'll have to pay Dave alimony and child support

[Wabbitsd]

ok, des reminded me...we need a super sleuth to find out what the deal is with the settlement....details, details..dish!

Oh! Laura, baby! Lotto Tix for Xmas gifts! That's a quick stop at the liquor store!

[SDGirl87]

My guess? She'll have to pay Dave alimony and child support

AND...since she said that something very serious that she never thought was a possbility...my guess is that she may be getting partial to no custody of the kids. No judge is going to give full or unsupervised custody of kids sooooooo young to someone fresh out of rehab. With the foolish things that she's been telilng us about in her diary, methinks the mediator probably made it clear that she has a long way to go before they'll be willing to give her charge of a 3 year old and 7 year old, especially when there IS a viable and steady custodial parent in the picture.

I'm sure that she never envisioned that she could lose her kids up her nose...and honestly that makes me sad. She made horrible choices so many years ago that will haunt her in so many ways for the rest of her life. Rehab is step 1 of about 50 steps she has to take. This MAY force her to finally accept full responsibility and face the truth of life. Maybe.
