Emma, glad your kitty made it home. Horrible when one of your babies is out in the wild and you don't know they're OK.

Elfstone.... OMG fantastic video. Thank you so much.

OB great to hear you on the show! I didn't know that was on and only caught the tail end, but went back and watched the whole thing. 1 week in with my mini, I think we're getting along pretty well... I may have to look at a Cobalt. Looks like that'll be gorgeous.

Lily.... still love the avi, it makes me smile every time I see it....

The rest of you...... this whole thread makes me smile now that I think about it.

I'm happy I have nothing planned for today. Literally... I blocked off the whole day and wrote NOTHING on it. I'm just going to relax. YAY!!!

LOL...

This reminds me of one of my favorite xkcd cartoons, about one of my favorite cognitive scientists / philosophers... And that does make me happy!

this story is for ripple.

I think I told this a while ago, but Ill tell it again.

years ago, I was running on a treadmill at my gym. I was along and in the zone except for one other person walking on one to my left. When I finally took a good look at who was there, low and behold, it was jerry. Just walking on a treadmill. At first I thought I was crazy, but then remembered they had a show a couple of days later. I went home told my GF at the time, and joked (and I swear I was joking) that I could not believe he was there working out. I made a flippant comment about how now that he was getting healthy he would probably pass away. I said that the years of abusing his body would probably freak out.

one week later, he passed away. I felt terrible.

I guess the positive is that I had the chance to see them perform shakedown street (my favorite song of theirs) for the last time.

I still feel bad to this day, but was glad I got to see it. I guess that is the happy part?

haha, luv these young stories, I can relate. I'm always mistaken for the daughter whenever my hubby, daughter and I go out together. She gets furious!!! and I laugh. She doesn't get it that she looks like the young bombshell that hubby left his old bag for.


oh yeh, and speaking of the deadheads, Jerry lived not far from me and I was always in the "middle of it" during his concerts. :) Those were the good ol' days.

So grruss tricked me into going to the thread, and I thought this would be a good time to just come back there... But do I detect ongoing drama? Should I stay away? I don't know who upset the LilyBear and why (as usual she speaks in code of code on top of code and I'd need three translators to figure out what she's saying), but I'm still sending a big hug in your general direction, Lily...

Why, oh, why?... I was so happy and hopeful when I saw Zen~ relaxed and happy and hopeful on the CB show...

Can there be a quiet night? We all have our daemons, but they can be appeased...
