Hi Glebby!

I have to go with Addy to see that dress... Maybe I'll wear a Huckleberry Finn mask...

Good morning all. I just found a link on that Addy:

They're saying December. A mere $90,000 - $130,000 and it's yours! Don't worry about the size - after spending all that money on the dress, you'll never be able to eat again!

Hi Boobs and All!

All is fine in Atlanta. I went to a terrific concert last night at Chastain Park - Steely Dan and Michael McDonald. Michael started promptly at 7:30 and the concert didn't finish up until 10:55. Michael played for an hour - a combo. of Doobie Bros. songs like It Keeps You Running and Taking It To the Streets, solo songs like Sweet Freedom, and selections from his recent Motown CDs. He had a chorus join him for 'Aint No Mountain High Enough. After a quick break, Donald Fagen, Walter Becker and the rest of Steely Dan took the stage. They played a great show comprised of much of their classics. They had an outstanding 4 piece horn section to complement the rest of the band: a bass player, guitar player, keyboard player, percussionist, and 2 backup singers. Michael McDonald, who used to be a part of the group before he joined the Doobie Brothers came out and joined Steely Dan for the latter part of the show. Here's the Steely Dan set list for those who are interested:

Bodhisattva
Time Out of Mind
Aja
I Got the News
Hey 19
Josie
Green Earrings
Deacon Blues
Black Friday
Dirty Work (Backup singers sang this one)
Show Biz Kids (Michael McDonald joined the band here)
Do It Again
Peg
Don't Take Me Alive
Kid Charlemagne

Encore:
FM
My Old School

I am wondering the same thing, addy. I always feel like I'm missing something...

Good morning adults. Chilly overcast in Seattle today. High in the low 70s. Should be back to nice weather in time for the weekend... and camping!

Oh, Cookie. That looks yummy.

I am, Addy!!

OY! My goddaughter called this AM for my b-day (Myles sang as he ate his breakfast ) During the course of our convo, she's telling me all about the last week or so and her issues with her mom. Her mom (my cousin) called a little bit ago. She brings up the same story, so I get to hear her version. Funny how they both bring this up, without any prompting from me. Hearing the two different, yet similar versions just made me shake my head. My cousin forgets how she always told her mother to let her raise her kids, clean and/or decorate her house, etc. the way she wants to. She also doesn't realize how much the tone of voice can convey something, which I really tried getting through her thick head just now. What she thinks of as a "suggestion" or something, Shannon hears as a criticism of the way she's doing something. I've spent a lot of time with my cousin lately, and I've even been picking up on the tone, or the way she might laughingly say something about something, like she's kidding about it, but really means it. I haven't wanted to start any wars, and I've bitten my tongue alot, but I think if the opportunity presents itself in the near future, I may have to let loose. Nicely, if possible. Ah, sorry for the long rant that probably makes no sense!

*twirls girly again for her birthday*

This is what I tell my friend who does the same as your cousin: "My perception is my reality."

She needs to understand that she might not mean it that way, but it's the way that it's being perceived.

Girly, that made perfect sense. My mom is the queen of saying something she means and then trying to play it off as a joke.
It makes me crazy.

And Happy Birthday!

Thanks! I might sneak out of here a bit earlier than usual. Bad me!

Just saying sorry I'm late, but no one is here nor cares.

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 1:16pm

Oh, dear. That could be scary.

I'm afraid to read the CotD thread. Who the heck is DrunkyMcwasted??
