The Motor City Red Thong Mafia 17 (Rated R)

[ILClaymate]

WELCOME TO MAFIA HOUSE #17!!!!!   

Looks like y'all needed a bigger home to play in, here's a new home and a review of how you got started:

Just as a reminder, here's how you got started here in your new home...it was all my fault.   

...because I was a heartless meanie and deleted the Masonic Temple thread...here's a new home for you guys eh?!?
I'm sorry, really. I didn't know you were still using that thread to scheme... I mean, plan your next wild weekend!

So I humbly offer you a new home, your very own forum, and hopefully a place you can congregate and plot your next gathering without the risk of being sent into cyber oblivion.

And if this isn't enough to atone for my sins, you may sentence me to a hundred lashes with a red CA thong. But only if they are administered by you know who.

[ILClaymate]

Here's a little decor to get ya started!

Thea, I am so sorry that I didn't get on yesterday to wish you well. You know I am here thinking and praying for you. I know you will do what Chrisie said to that danged cancer. I will be eagerly awaiting an update from Barbara. :huggTo you.
Barbara, forgot to tell you how beautiful Lexie is, and you aren't looking to shabby yourself.
Sharon,  wonderful pics. You are blessed with such a wonderful family. And they are blessed to have you!
Beth, I am so sorry to hear that you are sick. Take care of yourself, you are precious to us all.
Philly, glad to hear you had a great B Day. You deserve all the spoiling you get.
I am getting ready to go to work but I will try to get online at work so I can catch Barbara to see how our Thea is doing.
Lu, before I go I want to tell you how pleased I am that you are joining our little family here.

Lyrics to Lover All Alone:

maybe i've convinced myself i've really been in love
and i've been wrong all along
for all i know the feeling and the picture that i've tried
so hard to find isn't mine

could be its all just a waiting game
wanna share my everything c

and on my own
its hard to tell my heart it will be alright
this love it holds will one day find a home
as hard as love can be
its harder still it seems
to be a lover all alone without love

picking up the pieces makes me wonder if
i only build it all to watch it fall
the faster it can go away it means the less of me
is gone to stay and i'm ok

but lonesome(?) tomorrow comes anyway
i'm alone for another day, another day

and on my own
its hard to tell my heart it will be alright
that this love it holds will one day find a home
as hard as love can be
its harder still it seems
to be a lover all alone without love

and on my own
its hard to tell my heart it will be alright
that this love it holds will one day find a home
as hard as love can be
its harder still it seems
to be a lover all alone without love
a lover all alone... without love

maybe i've convinced myself i've really been in love
but i've been wrong all along

Fred Bronson confirmed that the song was mostly written by Clay with co-writing credits going to David Foster (music), and Emanuel Kiriakou (prob a hand in both).

The promotion for this album has been a bit disappointing considering that RCA did not see fit to include radio play in the promotional budget.

Morning !!

Today is a day for postive vibes for Thea !!!!!

So again, here is a cheer for her   




Kick ass today Thea !!!!!

[ChrisieD]

Thanks Beth for the words and I agree, a little disappointed in the promos !!!

Well everyone, BIG ANNOUNCEMNET  ~~~~

I'm going to be a grandma !!!!!! 

One of Taylor snails has been laying eggs for hours now and I've been on line learning about it    They can lay between 100 and 1000 eggs at a time  and do it all over again the next day !!! 

I'll keep ya posted. Any idea for names of 100's of Apple snails ????

Well, Tori starts school full time today  She will be going everyday for 2 1/2 hours EVERY afternoon and she can't wait. I'll have pics tonight.

I hope everyone has a great day. I'll be watching the snails and cleaning out my closets this afternoon.

[ChrisieD]

Now lets decorate our new house !!!!

Good morning friends,

First and foremost, Thea - thinking about you and holding you close in my thoughts.  Love that pic, Chrisie - the cancer doesn't have a chance!  Will be checking in to hear from Barbara.

Sharon, the pics are terrific - wish the day had stayed sunny for you.  (It didn't for us either.  Started out sunny and beautiful but started pouring during the soccer game - cold and wet).   Love the shirts, love the shaggin wagon.  Love the people!  What a great family you have.  Seems like we are all pretty lucky that way here. 

Beth, hope you are feeling better today.  Being sick sucks!  Sending you love!

Chrisie, OMG, do each of those eggs hatch out a snail?  If they do, it sounds like the world would be overcome by snails.  Are they the edible ones -- yuck?  What a good mom you are.

Hi Mary,  Ann, Debi, Philly, Peggy, Lu, Becky, Barbara, Anita, Carolyn, Marilyn and Meesa (wherever you are now) -- is that all of us? 

Love to all,

Brenda

[ChrisieD]

Great times !!!!

[ChrisieD]

AND THE REASON WE LOVE MR. CLAY AIKEN




NO, NO NO,.......................  

THIS REASON....................

[ChrisieD]

Chrisie, OMG, do each of those eggs hatch out a snail?  If they do, it sounds like the world would be overcome by snails.  Are they the edible ones -- yuck?  What a good mom you are.

Hopefully not  They said on the web that the survival isn't great for most. But we could get about 10 out of them. They are called Apple Snails and they are actually quite interesting to watch and to have. We enjoy them alot. I know that sounds weird, but we do  Right now they are probably the size of a golf ball and we've had them since they were the size of a marble. And no, we don't eat our children Brenda !!!!

[ChrisieD]

Ok, I'm done for now !!

Off to get the kids some lunch and off to school 

TTYL !!!

[Beth]

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.  I am feeling  better than yesterday, but still feel pretty crummy.    Dave is home today.  He is picking up Nathan from school for me  .   But then he is leaving for the rest of the day.  He doesn't know it yet, but as soon as he's gone, we are all putting our jammies on and climbing back into bed  .  Nathan has soccer practice tonight, so maybe I can convince Dave to take Nathan while Diana and I stay home  .  Doubtfull, but one can hope  .


*edited to say that Dave just informed me that he will be in Bloomfield Hills and may not be back in time to take Nathan to soccer  .  Which means that I would have to take Nathan to soccer by myself  and take Diana with me  .

[Beth]

Thea, Please know that as sick as I am, you ARE on my mind.
