FRIDAY NITE BOOMER CHAT PARTY
March 21, 2008

CONDOLENCES

Bluesy1234 (Les) lost his father last week. We are so sorry for your loss, Les.

HEALTH

Suggar n Space (Kris) had to take a GI test consisting of lying on a hard table and moving in different positions. And once while changing positions, she pushed off with her hands and in the process pulled a muscle and possibly broke a rib! Imagine - getting hurt at a doctor’s office! So now she has to wear a rib belt, which wraps around and attaches with Velcro. Poor Kris, hope you’re feeling better.

LaNeita is contemplating a knuckle transplant. When she first mentioned it, I waited for the punch line - but she was serious. She explained that it wasn’t exactly a transplant, they would just put a new knuckle in on her ring finger. Another consequence of her accident. Good news about her legs, though; she is walking with a cane and a lot of times, even without the cane!

THIS & THAT

ElvisP19 (Rick) recommended using a free program called Irfanview. It plays Wavs and MP3s and views pictures and animations and movies. It’s also a picture editor. Go to http://www.irfanview.com/ to check it out. There are a lot of other interesting programs found at http://www.filehippo.com/.

There used to be an old saying back in the Midwest: Rain on Easter Sunday, Rain Seven more Sundays. No one but Marnee115 (Marcia) and myself seems to have heard it, though. As Marcia said, it’s an old wives’ tale that just happens to usually work out that way.

LaNeita noted that sunset was at 7:04 p.m.

DoggyNites (Steve) bragged about his ability to do the huckaback, and ElvisP19 (Rick) promptly played Chubby Checker’s “The Hucklebuck.” WTG, Rick!

POLITICAL TALK

Vote for Stella for President! She promises to put stilettos in every closet.


SPORTS TALK

BigHow10 (Howie) asked if everyone was ready for baseball season. Nebug2022 (Neil) said he plans to go to the Yankees or Mets opener. Ruberlegs3 (Dan) announced that the Red Sox would be doing it again, and BigHow countered that the Yankees are rebuildings. Woody held out for the Pirates. Switching to another sport, Laneita related that she liked to watch the Lakers, because Jordan Farmer was one of her students. Ruberlegs3 (Dan) said he still hoped to get to Taladega. Nebug2022 (Neil) enthused about how he loved Nascar, saying he had a lot of favorite drivers. Dan stated that someone is thinking of building a domed track in New York, near the Jersey border.

COUNTDWN TO VEGAS

Plans are being firmed out for the Vegas bash. ElvisP19 (Rick) will be driving LaNeita to Vegas, leaving California on Friday, April 11th. FrogieArno (Joan) and her husband plan to be there a week and celebrate their anniversary at that time. Congratulations, Joan and hubbie! And to all you lucky people who plan to be there, please take lots of pictures! I want to try to do my first digital scrapbook. That way, everyone can enjoy the fun and festivities. And what happens in Vegas will stay in my scrapbook.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PERSON?

CirceUK (Jacs) asked Sonya50 (Pat) if she had ever heard from Lori.

Someone had recently asked about Jamie. I received the following note from her this week:

"Thank you for the recap and sorry I missed it. I had to fly to Chicago from Az. Thursday morning to help my mom, who is having some serious health issues. Sorry I missed to get-together. This is the first chance I've had to read my mail. I'd love to stay on the list, I'm just a little busy right now. I don't know how long I will be in Chicago. I grew up here and almost forgot what the cold weather was like. I sure do remember it now! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Anyway, thanks again and tell all my boomer buds I said howdy. Hopefully, I'll get to pop into Vegas to see some old friends and meet some new ones...
ITZJamie55"


TH-TH-TH-TH-THAT’S ALL FOLKS!

March 14, 2008 Friday Nite Chat Party

FRIDAY NITE BOOMER PARTY
March 14, 2008

BOOMER ACHIEVEMENTS:

Our Laneita was voted class flirt for the Class of 66. She happened to be in the class of 1968 at the time, but they all thought she was a senior.

DUTCH6104 FOR PRESIDENT!! He’s looking for a hot chick to be hisVP, in case anyone is interested. (Hillary Clinton is busy.)

Pinkysproud (Victoria) divulged a long-held secret about women: we have the ability to withhold farts. Skie (Steve) is so jealous!)

PrecBay (Barb) has moved back to Reno to be near her grandkids.

Pinky announced she gets her snazzy new drum kit next week, but DoggyNites (Steve) insisted that snazzy new drum kit is British slang for high-tech vibrating dildo. Skie, not to be outdone, related that he had just bought a new set of drums today, which gives him something else to bang. (Sound of rimshot.)

CONDOLENCES

Redhdtexn (Julia) lost her newborn great-niece this past week. Our thoughts are with you, Julia, in this difficult time. Also with Ali, who is still grieving over the loss of her father, but hanging in there.

Did anyone know MSOIGGAL? She passed away yesterday from acute respiratory distress due to pneumonia. She will be cremated and funeral will be Monday in California, Pennsylvania. Our condolences to her friends and family.
BOOMER KIDS/GRANDKIDS

PrecBay (Barb) proudly announced that her step-grandson won the millennium scholarship. Wonderful news, Barb.

CirceUK (Jacs) was feeling a little sad. Her gorgeous son left the nest and moved into his own apartment this week, and she misses him already. (Jacs, if it’s any consolation, they usually move back once or twice before the move “takes.”)

FACEBOOK

I started a new Boomer Group in Facebook and tried to invite all the boomers on my mail list, but I may have missed some of you. If you’d like to “jine up,” let me know. It’s a fun blog site although I have to admit a little confusing to navigate. Theobears (Ellyn) and Laneita both have said they’ve been able to contact former students of theirs after joining Facebook, and FrogieArno has amazed and impressed her daughter by having a face book account. Who knows, maybe someone will locate a long lost love. Ellen and Marnee115 (Marcia) have really going at the Packrat game found on Facebook.

BAWDY HUMOR

Skieluv: There we were, standing on the side of the bed, our lips softly grazing each other, our arms wrapped around each other. Skie, she said, you leave me breathless! PLEASE stop farting, okay honey?

HEALTH

BlombaONE (Barry) reported that WTink45488 (Donna) is still under the weather. Poor girl has had it for about four weeks now. I said sympathetically, “I hope she gets better soon, Les.” He replied, “This is Barry, Linda.”

RATS! I’ve been so proud of myself, learning all the Boomers’ names. Sorry about that, Les and Barry.

LaNeita reported that she’s doing much better. She went to the surgeon yesterday and got a good report. (Anyone see the picture of her car on her face book account? Wow!)

Ruberlegs (Dan) will be having surgery on his bursa. The doctor thinks there will be a 70 to 80 percent improvement after the surgery. Let us know how it goes, Dan.

Pusskitt (Jeannie) reported she’s feeling much better after her recent fall. Good to hear, I know a lot of people are looking forward to meeting her in Vegas.

OldeeBaaat2 (Kathy) recently had a shot of Sumedrol, which she described as a sort of a steroid to help “open her up.” She said she has COPD and a cold, which can be dangerous. She recently had to have a firefighter (her sister) help her during an attack, and she was taken to the ER and given the sumedrol and a scrip for Combivent. Scary stuff, Kathy. Take care of you, okay?

Skieluv: I NEED A CIGARETTE NOW DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ruberlegs: SKI no way bud.
Skieluv: grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ruberlegs: SKI have sex instead.
Skieluv: Nah, too tired.
Skieluv: Good night, live, laugh, love, forgive, forget.

We love you, Steve.

THIS & THAT

Dutch told us about his first love, a girl named Cindy. He said they were together all through high school, but broke up when he wanted to finish college and she wanted to get married. It’s a bittersweet story that probably all of us have lived through. Hugs to you, Dutch.

Pusskitt (Jeannie) reported that her basset hound was horny. Poor guy hadn’t had any for 17 years. Hmmm, won’t even go there….

DoggyNites (Steve) told us that Pusskitt (Jeannie) is going to take a scrimmage with the OU Sooners this fall. Jeannie says she can’t wait!

A possible record: 3 Oregonians in the room at once: NavyTeam1 (Michael), Billcobby (Bill), and Lpoindext (Linda). Bill remarked that he used to live in the boomer room. He did all our dusting and vacuuming. (Sound of rim shot.) Nice to see you back in the room, Bill. Don’t be such a stranger.

Michael, Our Poet laureate: “The starlight was all that was visible between the candlelit branches of the tree limb where she sat watching for Peter’s return.”

Sigh…don’t know what that means, but it sure was purty…

We may have an additional poet laureteate, though. Laneita, who has been living a “Rear Window” life since her accident, described the view of the sunset from her window:

“Here comes the sun in the window blinding me
Get such beautiful sunsets
Getting blinded by the sun
Darn I keep moving over and the sun is following me
Wish the sun would go down already!
Don't want to hobble in there to close the blinds
Sun keeps moving north each night as it sets
“Ooooooooo the sun finally got really pretty!

Big huge orange ball setiing into the mountain!
Magic Mountain!
I love this time, sky gets ablaze with color.
Each night something different.
So pretty,
Half way down now-
Last of sun just went down.
Yeah.
Now, just a beautiful sky…
“Sky is still light, though.
Pink is gone and it is salmon now;
Clouds are blue gray…
I love how fast the colors change.
God paints beautiful pictures.
Sky still has color
But it is getting dark now.
I love watching sunsets…

Dern purty, Laneita

“Looks like beer time,” declared Wbkwoody53 (Woody).

Harthorn (Charlotte) told Billcobby that she was back in Houston now, following the recent death of her husband. She had even bought a house in Houston, but did plan to visit Singapore soon, and may live there again and just rent out her new house.

ElvisP19 (Rick) assured Rdnck641213 that he is, in fact, NOT dead. Whew, that’s a relief, Rick! Replying to Pixie, Rick said, no, he’s not from Vegas, he’s from Graceland. He didn’t answer whether he really called Ann-Margaret from a pay phone in South Dakota. Rick takes a lot of teasing about his screen name, but he’s a good sport about it; after all, people STILL love Elvis.

There’s no way I could “recap” the following, so I’m typing it as it was said. The following is as it was then, except - YOU ARE THERE. *

WittDNites: poor pup has a toof ache
Ruberlegs3: percs here

Theobears: maybe that's how he really caught marsha
WittDNites: yikes...what a VISUAL !!!

REMEMBER WHEN…?

* Remember the old TV show, You Are There, with Walter Cronkite? There would be some historical drama presented, and he would start it out with, “all things are now as they were then, except: you are there.” I always loved that!

VEGAS TALK

The boomer reunion is getting closer! From April 10-14, the boomers will descend on Vegas. Will it ever be the same? Ullery2 (Helen) is a chairperson, and you can get information from her. Billcobby (Bill) regretted that he would be in Boise during that time. Helen promised to bring one of her sons’ CDs to her when she gets to Vegas. NavyTeam (Michael) and Bill Cobby and I are going to try and organize a reunion in beautiful Oregon next time. How about it, everyone? Michael reminded us that at the last boomer reunion he went to, he gave away the bride - to DoggyNites (Steve)!

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PERSON?

* Chet44

-Lpoindexter

MARCH 7 FRIDAY NITE BOOMER PARTY

BOOMER ACHIEVEMENTS:

Stella2592 (Stella) is taking ballroom dances, including the West Coast Swing and the Cha Cha. Stella says the West Coast Swing is a very sexy dance, especially when you are dipped. That will probably help Stella get over her shyness. (wink). Redhdtexn (Julia) remarked that she loves to waltz; she waltzed with Buckinchute in Nashville once.

CirceUK (Jacs) said she is attempting to write a country song. The first verse is as follows:

My old dog yeller got hit by a truck
And my ole lady just don’t give a damn
(she claims she couldn’t find a rhyme to truck.)
Pinky suggested she say, “My ole lady I can f***.”
Nickker, shaking head, “well, there goes the room.”

Sonya50 (Pat) proudly announced she’s been smoke-free for 21 days. That’s wonderful, Pat. Big round of applause to you.

Geezluiz advised us that she officially has her California driver’s license. Congrats to you, Geez.

Suggar n Space (Kris) blew out 53 candles. She said her brother and his wife are taking her and her mama to dinner to celebrate.

Geezluiz led us in singing:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KRIS
HAPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
Geez then added, “Gawd, to see 53 again.”

ElvisP19 (Rick) has been sighted working at El Monte now. He played us a song to commemorate his new position.

Harthorn (Charlotte) bought herself a new house in Houston near her son this week, which makes two homes she now owns, free and clear. What a wonderful achievement. Congrats, Charlotte!

BOOMER HEALTH

FrogieArno (Joan) reported that she had spent this week coughing and sneezing. She was ordered to work from home or take off sick. Theobears (Ellyn) sent her a germ-free hug. OldeeBaaat2 (Kathy) suggested to Joan that she try putting a halls mentholyptus cherry cough drop in her tea and let it melt. She said that should help soothe her cough. Joanie, let us know if it worked for you!

DoGGyNites (Steve) told us that his Marsha is under the weather and asked for our good wishes. Marsha also is coughing and has lost her voice. She said that her little kindergarten students were lucky this week, they didn’t have to listen to her, since she had laryngitis.

Skieluv (Steve?) confided that after his first week of radiation, he feels very tired. Frogie (Joan) encouraged him by telling him that he’ll get used to it eventually. Skie laughingly asked “when?” Redhdtxn (Julia) agreed with Frogie (Joan) and reminded him that he needed to STOP SMOKING. Skie agreed, and told us that he had had a “mass” removed from his kidney on Tuesday. They will proceed with a treatment of chemo and radiation and possibly another operation if all goes well. He said the doctors THINK he has “dead cancer cells” on top of his lungs. We all agreed that the only good cancer cell is a dead cancer cell. Skie said is wife is hanging in there with him. Kudos and hugs to Skie and his wife! Skie even reported proudly that even with a catheter in his PETER, he was getting an erection. And with that, he produced 6 farts. LOL, no wonder we love you, Steve.

Ullery2 (Helen) said she is recuperating from a week of physical therapy. Suggar & Space (Kris) is also feeling better, after having some digestive problems. Great news!

OldeeBaaat2 (Kathy) had some bad news about Sweetcheeks. She had been involved in an accident involving an 18-wheeler, which sent her out of control and caused her to be hit by another car. She had a concussion and was sent home. When she got worse, the doctor told her to lie down, but Sweetcheeks had a friend take her to the hospital. That’s all Kathy knew, and she asked us to keep Sweetcheeks in our prayers.

BOOMER CONDOLENCES

Frigid Wom (Ali) stopped in to say hello. The room offered her condolences on the passing of her father. Ali said that services would be Sunday and he will be interred in a wall at Fort Rosecrans, a military cemetery. Ali was having trouble believing he was gone, but he had been very ill, and we reminded her what a good daughter she had been to him and how much he had loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Ali, in this difficult time.

BOOMER KIDS AND GRANDKIDS

Redhdtexn (Julia) was sending out photos of her new grandson to Funnybunny and Theobears (Ellyn). Funnybunny admired Julia’s cute little grandson, saying she couldn’t believe he was only 7 weeks old.

THIS & THAT

Ruberlegs (Dan) said he may take a trip to Nam with some guys from his unit this year, although his wife doesn’t really want him to.

Bears Babe (Paige) announced she and her sister will be traveling to New Zealand in 2009.

Mawort (Marcia) related new and obnoxious behaviors of Daisy: tearing up paper! She particularly loves to shred paper plates and envelopes. She even tore up a card Marcia had just received from her brother. (By the way, Daisy is her pup.)

Mawort(Marcia) had a joke for us: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Answer: The one smoking the cigarette. (Groannnn)

SuzEq3 happily told us she was supposed to be working, but she cancelled her due to “low census.” She works in a hospital, delivering babies. She said she gets them when they are wet and slimy. Redhdtexn (Julia) said the nurse almost delivered Austin-doc was on the way but not there yet. Suz replied that she’s hoping that will happen in April when her grandchild comes. She can’t officially do anything but coach, BUT - the regular nurse can’t be in the room all the time. (Wink Wink)

Wbkwoody53 stopped in after everyone had gone. He had been having trouble with AOL, and said he’d be back earlier next time. I warned him if it happened again, his tardiness would be put on his “permanent record card,” but we let it go this time. Woody, don’t forget to try to re-send that picture of you that you promised me, okay? It never came through the first time.

LET IT SNOW/MAKE IT STOP

March is certainly coming in like a lion this year. Suggar and Space (Kris), Nebug (Neil), Theobears (Ellyn), and DoggyNites (Steve) reported rain, rain, rain. While in Rosco54 (John) reported getting six inches of snow. (Six inches is usually a good thing - but not when it’s snow.)

NEW/OLD FACES

CollieFarmer, entering the room, stated, “Bravely I enter this room, knees shakin’. Does 52 make me a boomer? When told she definitely qualified as a boomer, she told us she lives in Washington State with the trees where she belongs, but she has a Texan heart. She further advised she is “female, female, female,” and that she is looking for a crazy man to call her own. (I offered to give her the address of my ex, but she only laughed.) When she left the room, she told us if a crazy man showed up, to stick a pin in him and hold him for her. Collie, come back soon!

Remember Oxfordog? He goes by Pleaerl nowadays, and he stopped in to see us. He said, “Hi everyone…It’s so nice to see such familiar familiar names. Yippee!” We gave him a group room hug and encouraged him to come back next Friday! Great to see you again, Oxford/Pleaerl.

VEGAS PLANS

FrogieArno (Joan) is planning a wine-tasting, and anyone who would like to join in is asked to contribute $5. Frogie related that she will be flying in on the 9th and staying until the 15th. They will be celebrating their 35th anniversary on the 14th! SuzEq3 will be flying back on the 14th, taking the red-eye. Others like ElvisP19(Rick) and Awaytakeme (Linda) will be driving. Rick challenged Linda to a race! Yikes!

REMEMBER WHEN…?

Remember some of our crazy topics? Here’s one, and I’m going to copy verbatim, to get the full effect:

LPoindext: I liked that thread on the board where people were telling how they were told about "it"
Bornsons: I didn’t see that LP
DoGGyNites: it???????????
LaNeita: it ha ha
CirceUK: it being?

LaNeita: gonna have a chicken boob later with the spaghetti
Redhdtexn: I just used it twice, Geez
LaNeita: is that the chicken singing marn???

POLITICAL TALK

Pinkysproud (Victoria) entered the room, yelling GO HILARY! She wanted to know why Yanks don’t like Hilary. But that’s getting into political talk, and your humble editor wants to keep this room FRIENDLY.

WAV FILES

ElvisP19, our resident music expert, offered to send music to Theobears in MP3 form.

And…

TH-TH-TH-TH-THAT’S ALL FOLKS!

Monday, March 3, 2008

FEBRUARY 29 FRIDAY NITE BOOMER PARTY

WELCOME BACK, SKIELUV

A happy room of Boomers welcomed Skieluv back. He had contracted pneumonia, and when he went to the hospital to be treated, they found cancer. His chemo/radiation treatments will start Monday, and the prognosis is very good, since it hasn’t spread.

Skieisms:

-DAMN, I want a cigarette!
-(after people told him no, and smacked his hand) Smackin’ makes me horny!
-{S 6farts
-SOMEONE GIVE ME A SMOKE NOW!!!
-Chocolate makes me horny!
- --waving behind back…farted.
-Ladies & Gentlemen,DION! Here’s a story true but sad
-About a gal that made me a dad
- I took my money, ran out of town
- You know damn well I won’t be found.

- DoGGyNites (Steve) - I can’t help it if I’m upper crust.
- WittDNites (Marsha) - You mean crusty?
- GypsyRd56 (Janice) - I guess I’m under crust.
- Skieluv (Steve) - Has crust on underwear (sound of rim shot)

Consensus of the room: There’s a lot of Boomerluv for Skiluv.

BOOMER KIDS/GRANDKIDS

-Nixon’s (Kim’s) daughter starts college this year.

-Bornson (Richard) - eldest daughter getting married in 3 weeks.

BOOMER HEALTH

- Laneita is walking with a cane now. WAY TO GO!

- Kppromo asked that Boomers remember Vickie in their prayers. She has cancer,
and she knows that our prayers are helping her.

- WittDNites (Marsha) asked that we remember Skieluv and OKAYOKAY in our prayers also.

-GpsyRd56 (Janice) was recovering from the flu. Steve suggested taking 2000 mg of vitamin C
every hour to totally shut down cold and flu.

-Rick said he has been smoking less now, which is a great start. WTG, Rick!

- Marnee115 (Marcia) went to the doctor last week and was diagnosed with
hyperbillirubinemina, a form of jaundice. So she and all he kids and siblings are going to have to
have blood tests. Keep us posted, Marnee.

-Mawort (Marcia) reported that (facetiously) she suffers from dementia and old age.

THIS & THAT

In the spirit of Leap Year Day, Mr.Theobears (Eric) visited the room. Eric, hope you don’t wait another four years to come in. Remember, you promised us some Ellyn stories next time!

Theobears (Ellyn)’s nephew gave a shout-out to Lpoindext and her nephew, Dylan, on his radio show. They seemed impress that Dylan was giving up an episode of Blue’s Clues to listen to the radio show. Too bad they didn’t know that Oregon is pronounced OR a gun, NOT or e GONE. But anyway, it was fun, and could possibly be counted as 15 minutes of fame for Linda and Dylan.

A lot of boomers are fans of the TV show, Monk. Laneita, one of the fans, reported that many of the episodes are filmed at her school. Remember the episode where Monk had to coach a basketball team? (One of my favorites!) That episode was filmed at Lan’s school! The students hit him up for autographs whenever they can. Lan said that her neighbor’s house was in the background of the Monk episode this week. If they had just shot higher, you would have been able to see her house. Nip & Tuck is also filmed at LaNeita’s school, along with many commercials and movies, such as Charlie’s Angels 2.

Laneita’s cousin will be on Jeopardy on May 21. How cool is that?
Skie: Almost got into jeopardy once, but escaped just before her hubby came home.

LaNeita said there was some base jumping in San Diego, which is parachuting off of tall buildings.

LaNeita suggested that Redhdtxn (Julia) send the picture of themselves in a big white Cracker Barrel rocking chair. Check this week’s blog - it’s included in the slide show.

NixonJ described a fight between two girls at her workplace (a call center). She said they were really going at it. She found out later that the slang for this activity (head-banging and hair-pulling) is called banging.

ElvisP19 (Rick) reported for jury duty Friday. Rick, hope you didn’t hang anyone! Skieluv related that he got kicked off of a jury duty once for making nooses.

Mawort was disgusted with CBS for not putting the sexy vampire on and putting Drew Carey on in his place. The sexy vampire is MUCH better than Drew Carey. She left briefly to eat dinner and promised to return after she called the police. She had just killed a grizzly bear and a robber. Because of all this excitement, it became necessary for her to change her drawers too.
