23300. Ms. No - 12/31/2007 6:42:51 AM We definitely should! That would be a blast! I don't know that I count as a Louisianner, though, since it's just my folks that live there and they've only recently moved. I hadn't been since I was about 13, but I have never had a bad time there and I'm convined that there is no bad food in LA.
We did a quick trip into New Orleans on Wednesday and had lunch at the Acme and wandered around the quarter. I love it there. 23301. judithathome - 12/31/2007 7:34:39 PM I am sick that we had to cancel our big party tomorrow...Keoni woke up yesterday with the crud I caught on Christmas and I had to call or email 50 people that the party is off.
We've decided to have one on Feb 16 (our 27th wedding anniversary is on Valentine's Day) and use up all that champagne then... 23302. wonkers2 - 12/31/2007 8:42:18 PM Too bad, Judith.
We'll make you an honorary Louisianian, Ms. No. Although I lived there 2nd grade through high school, I never got over being called a "damn yankee" by the little girls next door shortly after I arrived. And my parents wanted me to consider our family "Nebraskan." So, only Jex is a true coon ass, Cajun, red neck Louisianian. We had a doctor participant a couple of years back who lived in Baton Rouge but I can't recall his name. 23303. arkymalarky - 1/1/2008 12:58:10 AM Gay Cajun. That explains a lot.
What a bummer, Judith! I hope he gets over it asap.
We helped Mose move today. From now until school starts back I'm working on my stuff. She's guilting me, but I'm impervious. 23304. wonkers2 - 1/1/2008 1:10:00 AM We take our health for granted until the problems pop up. Sometimes, lately, I feel like the "wonderful one-horse shay." 23305. wonkers2 - 1/1/2008 1:12:06 AM Wonderful One-hoss Shay 23306. arkymalarky - 1/1/2008 3:38:57 AM Are you having a health issue, Wonk?
Do you know the background of that poem, btw? 23307. Magoseph - 1/1/2008 4:35:35 PM Bonne et heureuse année 2008, dear Moties! 23308. Magoseph - 1/1/2008 4:37:59 PM Ah, merde! Here we're at it again--reposting:
Bonne et heureuse année 2008, chers Moties!
(Getting gaga, I'm afraid.)
23309. wonkers2 - 1/1/2008 4:51:37 PM Arky, does a chicken have lips? Issue(s). I'm not inclined to discuss them online. So far all systems are functioning more or less normally. A lot of Medicare money has been wasted on MRIs, CTScans and the like. After a life of hardly missing a day of work or seeing a doctor in the past 3-4 years several issues have cropped up one after another. I've found a chiropracter's advice about back care and exercise helpful. 23310. wonkers2 - 1/1/2008 4:54:10 PM Mago, you sent us about 6 inches of heavy, wet snow to greet the new year. 23311. arkymalarky - 1/1/2008 6:51:20 PM Thanks Mags! Happy New Year to everybody!
Whatever they are, Wonk, I hope they are resolved for you. I learned myself that health issues seem to come in lumps, probably because, at least in my case, the causes were the same and the results converged. But they also were fortunately resolved and I now feel better than I have in at least 5-10 years.
My dad has always run and lifted weights, and at age 76 he's faced with the possibility of having to go to walking instead of running, which is an age concession he's not going to make easily. 23312. arkymalarky - 1/1/2008 6:53:15 PM BTW, this chicken didn't have lips for me, because I didn't know until after I'd read the poem for years, that it was a protest against Daniel Webster's vote for the Compromise of 1850. 23313. wonkers2 - 1/1/2008 6:59:17 PM Thanks, arky.
See what Magoseph sent us! 23314. wabbit - 1/1/2008 7:36:47 PM Happy New Year, everyone! May you all find happiness, good health and prosperity in the coming year! 23315. judithathome - 1/1/2008 9:31:55 PM Well, if we weren't both sick as dogs, we'd be hosting our party right now and having caviar, champagne, and Belgian chocolates with 50 guests instead of plain yogurt, hot tea, and saltine crackers for the two of us.
The day is beautiful...the sky is a pristine blue and the sun is out, a bit nippy but still...
I made Keoni bundle up and go sit in the sun on the front porch. We both looked like we'd hobbled out of Mann's Magic Mountain, bundled up and taking in the vitamin D on the veranda of the consumptive hospital. 23316. Magoseph - 1/1/2008 10:49:53 PM Wonk, it's Hi: 21°F now and Lo: 8°F tonight. Brace yourself! 23317. ElliottRW - 1/2/2008 1:26:06 AM Happy New Year 23318. wonkers2 - 1/2/2008 2:30:29 AM Same to you, Elliot. Stick around. 23319. OhioSTOPAS - 1/2/2008 3:26:32 AM Happy 2008, all!
