[Pepe]

JAN, don't worry about the animals outside we are taking care of them.  They are getting lots of corn which generates heat when they eat it.  Also sunflower seed.  Yep I know you are drinking tea now.  I have started drinking it in the evening for my throat.  Do you put cream in yours?

[Pepe]

PRISSY,  I was wondering how the doctor could do blood work and check Skip all out in one day.  Was hoping he got a good physical.  I think prostate cancer is to men what breast cancer is to women. 

LOLITA, so happy to see you.  I come looking for you all the time and miss you being here.

JoANN, hope you are feeling better today!!! 

Off to shower and get those flannel pj's on to get ready to watch AI Rewind.  It is a whole 2 degrees here with -4 degrees tonight with windchill of -15 below tonight.

[lolita]

Joann, Prissy, Carol, Glory, Pepe, and everyone…you girls are the reason for my return; thank you…I missed all of you too.

Carol your computer may be experiencing the winter mood we all experience. On serious note, I hope it’ll continue to behave.

[cl4clay]

Lolita - I gather you haven't been on the site much. Well, know that we miss you when you aren't here. Hey, even it you get on as little as I do, we still love to hear from you.

Lori - Did you move? I thought you lived in OHio - are you now in Florida or is this just a vacation.

Hi Shirley - How's everything with you?

Woody - At least you got 5 hours o f sleep.   

[HavinaClayAffair]

Evelyn- To help Lori clear things up..

She is Lori, I am Lora and NO- I didn't move to Florida, although, since it is currently 1 whole degree here right now in Ohio....I would consider it. Lori DID move to Florida though...what? This past year now??

I have met Lori, however, In...Baltimore? (Is that the right place Lori??) She Loves Golf...I am having a Clay Affair.

I think I am having WAY MORE FUN than her!! Regardless of the weather!

Have a lovely night...and I saw Charles Grigsby tonight on AI Rewind..

bring back any memories there, Evelyn??

Hugs,

Lora

Prissy: I believe the one i spoke about was CLASSIC CLOWER POWER that you bought? I was just at Amazon and they have a lot of MP3's of his as well. However they also offer CD's...there is one available from 1973 that was put on CD in 1995. The album is called "Clower Power" and this is the cover...



That CD contains a lot of short stories and anecdotes. There is only one real long story on there and it's the story of how he became a recording artist for MCA and that story is over 7 minutes in length. I know that all of those compilation CD's that are out there on Amazon of Clower's duplicate and over-lap each other a lot. Anyway, "Clower Power" from 1973 may contain some stories that were put on that CD you already have but by and large, everything on "Clower Power" wasn't lifted for the tribute CD you have so there are a lot of stories on that one you both hadn't heard. There is also a collection on Amazon called "Ledbetter Olympics" from 1980. That was an album based on the crisis at the time of American's not participating in the Olympics and so Clower had a solution: he'd have his Ledbetter friends hold the Olympics at their farm...

I am going to be like ANGELA now - where did the weekend go??????

We spent a lot of time today taking more pictures of houses. I need to leave more often - Lewis and our agents listed 8 houses and 6 pieces of land this week while I was gone - and they all had to have pictures taken, files made for both the home and the real office, etc. - that is why I have been MIA for most of the weekend. Good thing Son is going to get Kaitlyn to school in the morning - I will pick her up after school. At least the office things are caught up, the house is (sort of) clean, and the laundry is done. All I have to do is to throw some clothes in a suitcase tomorrow morning.

Lori - I bet your daughter's wedding will be beautiful. My daughter was married in a public garden - I will start praying that the weather will be good for you!

Jan- I have been thinking about Mr. Jan all week - the magazines are full of Katharine McPhee's wedding - is he sad?  I would send him the articles, but I didn't check most of the magazines this week - Shirl did - so I don't have the articles.

lolita -  you have been missed.

Glory - I only watched Tina Turner - and enjoyed her very much.

I'm getting a late start on the News - if you can't sleep, and there is no one in the insomniacs'  thread, come on over to the ANN and talk to me!

 See all of you sometime tomorrow! 

[Tiffany]

Hey all.

Welcome Woody.

Sorry you didn't get enough sleep. Hope you can get more tonight.

Stay warm and safe if you go out.

Can't believe your hubby did that with your clothes. Shame on him. Hope your dryer can get fixed.

It is too bad Vanassa didn't stay as long as she did. I liked her too. It was sweet Clay kissed her on the cheek when she was named for the bottom 3. That's right that Clay hugged the judges. Too bad they didn't show that. That was funny and cute. Wish they would at least show everything with Clay. I remember for Season One they cut out some things too so I wasn't surprised. I don't think we'll see the Ford commericals either.

Welcome Janye.

Sorry about Scooter's pig and your ex really is cruel to make her more sad. Kirk is more of a man and father then he is and you are a wonderful mom.

Welcome Frankie.

Enjoy the nice weather.

Sorry about your keyboard. Hope you can get a new computer soon.

Glad you got a lot of work done this weekend.

Enjoy your time with Kaitlyn this week.

Prissy-Have a good day putting your Valentine decorations up. I'm sure you'll take pics so looking forward to seeing them.

I've been reading the AI Rewind thread sometimes to see what you say.

Sure hope so about Lost. Need a good finale like last year.

I don't know about Carol but I would like to take a bite out of all those chocolate treats.

Jan-Glad to hear you are feeling better.

to your son.

Pepe-Thanks for breakfast.

Jerry-Cute pics of you.

I understand. Too bad you can't get football all year. Hope the Pro Bowl can be an exciting game and hope the Reds have a good baseball season.

Stay warm and safe in the wind.

Never eaten a Goo-Goo Cluster before.

Thanks for the other pics and song.

Glory-Stay warm. Hope you get your wish to have a lot of snow.

You are funny Brit Glory.

Watched the Grammys too. Tina Turner looks great for her age. Vince Gill won best Country album. Don't get the appeal of Amy Whinehouse. Liked Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban singing The Prayer together. That was beautiful. Clay and Quiana sang that last year at the Raleigh Gala.

Lora-Good to see you tonight. Good job explaining the differance between you and Lori to Evelyn.

Brrrr That's cold. Stay warm.

Lolita-Good to see you back and you better not leave. Glad you came to your senses. We missed you. Hope whatever problems you had is over now.

Carol-Sorry about your computer but glad it's hanging in there today. Hope it won't crash.

Congrats on 100 posts!!!

JoAnn-Sorry about waking up in the middle of the night. Hope you are feeling better.

Meesa-It was great talking to you in PM last night.

Lori-Sorry about your allergies. Hope you feel better. Enjoy your soup.

That will be beautiful for your daughter to get married on the beach. My sister did too in the Virgin Islands. Have fun at your In Laws shower.

Everyone have a good week.

[Tiffany]

Goodnight Everyone and Sweet Clay Dreams.

[Clayhottiefan007]

[woodstock854]

 

Middle of the night check in. 

S*rry I never made it back here yesterday.  Real life hit hard.  Had a very bad day.  I could go into details, but it's just all boring details. 

I've quickly read some of the posts, but I will have to get caught up tonight, because if I don't get back to bed, I won't get up on time and I will have a terrible day.    

I will get to my PMs later, too.

Just wanted to let you all know that I LOVE your suggestions for a title for our session!!!      You are all very creative!!!  I don't think I can pick.  So I may narrow it down and take it to a vote.  Thanks to those that offered suggestions!!!   I LOVE IT!!!

OK, back to bed, or I will be s*rry.  Even if I don't fall asleep right away, I need to rest.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING ALL  ,
IT IS A WHOPPING 7 DEGREES & VERY BLUSTERY RIGHT NOW--I DON'T FEEL LIKE GOING OUT IN THESE TEMPS 
B-R-R-R-R!   I HAVE TO REPEAT MY FAVORITE MONDAY MORNING SAYING (FRANKIE  ), "WHERE DID THE WEEKEND GO??" 
I DID WATCH THE GRAMMY'S & ENJOYED SOME OF THE PERFORMANCES SUCH AS ALICIA KEYS, JOSH GROBAN, BEYONCE, TINA TURNER, CARRIE UNDERWOOD, PAISLEY & A FEW OTHERS THAT HAVE SLIPPED MY MIND  .

JAYNE, THANK GOD SCOOTER HAS THE SUPPORT & LOVE OF YOU & KIRK. HOPE ONE DAY SHE WILL BE ABLE TO IGNORE WHAT HER DAD SAYS TO HER.

WOODY, I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU HAD NOT SO GOOD OF A DAY YESTERDAY  --MY HEART BREAKS FOR YOU & HOPE VERY SOON LIFE WILL BE GOING SMOOTHER FOR YOU & WITHOUT MANY OR NO ISSUES OR PROBLEMS.

EVELYN, I AM WAITING FOR ONE OF YOUR STORIES  .  MISS YA 

WELL I GOT TO RUN & GET READY FOR WORK.

HUGS TO ALL,
ANGELA

[Her]

Angela, good morning!  I hope some day, some day soon, she will put him in his place.  He pushed her there once before,but dang Laura takes a lot of pushing. Thanks.

Pepe-I guess since the ex now has no one to bully, the kids are up for being the targets.  Thanks

Woody, Meesa, Frankie Prissy and Jan and Glory, thanks for your kind words.  Perhaps next time when the phone rings, Laura won't pick it up and ignore him for awhile...time will tell.  She's so resilient, but I know everyone has their threshold.

Tonight is the Pig Show and we're all going...Laura has barn duty once, tonight, so she can remain in good standing with FFA.

xoxoxo to all and prayers where needed!
Me

[geraldine]

Good Morning Everyone.

Hi Jayne- to you!

Angela- It's freezing here too.  I think I would rather have the snow.  Stay warm and have a great day.

Woodstock Things will get better, hang in there sweetie.

Jerry- I saw your pic of your homemade meatball sub Do they have any at Subway.  It must be cold there as well. Dress warm if you go out today and be careful.

School is in today and I feel so sorry for the kids having to wait in the -2 weather.  I'm staying home today and staying warm.  Have a wonderful day everyone, stay warm and safe.

[fhmmany2]

 

A quick Good Morning! My computer read about too many other computers acting up, and decided to join in!  Last night in the middle of posting the News, I suddenly could not see links at the top of the page - and you can't post News without also posting the links to the articles  We really need to take the time to get another computer before this one crashes - something we will do as soon as I get to stay here instead of Son's house.

I'm just going to say a quick Happy Blue Monday to everyone  I will be checking in on all of you from Son's house this afternoon.

[ACcountryFan]

Good morning all!!! It's 10 outside...at the moment we're going to be in a winter storm warning starting tonight at 7pm and running throughout the night until 7pm tomorrow evening. I read about it and by Tuesday morning if it actually hits we'll have anywhere between 3 and 5 inches of snow and when it's all done with anywhere between 5 to 10 inches of snow. Then tomorrow it's suppose to rain and whenever it rains and there's snow or real cold temperatures, things turn to ice...i have no clue which direction it's heading, though, after it leaves here. Hopefully it will miss us and go elsewhere but it isn't looking like that's the case. I'll be trying out the windshield spray i got to see if it works...you supposedly spray it across the windshield and it melts ice and snow quick.

AC's Grammy Grousing:

I didn't watch the Grammy's of course. I was half-awake during the Pro Bowl game yesterday evening and when i woke up it was 8:15pm so i missed a good portion of the Pro Bowl. I came on-line last night and read little bits and pieces about the Grammy awards but those awards have never really interested me. The long standing motto of the Grammy awards is that they supposedly award "the greatest form of artistic achievement" regardless of commercial success and in some cases that's true but in a whole lot of other cases the Grammy voters have crept into awarding popular artists almost exclusively where name artists win out over obscure artists that make the better recordings.

I looked over the country section of the Grammy winners at the Grammy web-site and Vince Gill won for COUNTRY ALBUM OF THE YEAR for his impressive "These Days" box set which for those who didn't know contains all original songs on each of the four CD's contained in the box set and Vince was writer/co-writer on nearly every song. It isn't a career retrospective in case some thought that's what it was at first glance. Carrie Underwood's song "Before He Cheats" won COUNTRY SONG OF THE YEAR and BEST FEMALE COUNTRY VOCAL PERFORMANCE. Keith Urban's "Stupid Boy" won BEST MALE COUNTRY VOCAL PERFORMANCE, although in my biased opinion George Strait's "Give It Away" should have won because it was a good vocal performance. They put The Eagles in the country category this time around and so that group won for "How Long" in the BEST COUNTRY PERFORMANCE BY A DUO/GROUP.

In an interesting foot note, Vince's "These Days" was also nominated in the BEST ALBUM category amongst a sea of pop and rock albums.

Traditionally, that award usually goes to a pop or rock act and not a country singer because Pop and Rock has always, rightfully or wrongfully depending on one's up-bringing, been the style of music that represents America as a whole and i think the voters are often intimidated to award a country album ALBUM OF THE YEAR, that is, if one gets nominated in the first place. I'm not saying a country album has never won but it's pretty rare if one does

In another soapbox rant, Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" song was up for SONG OF THE YEAR, which encompasses all music styles. Well, she lost out, much like Vince Gill did in ALBUM OF THE YEAR to another artist. Carrie lost out to an act in which i wouldn't think would get a nomination especially from someone i've never heard of named Amy Winehouse? Oh i've since read up about who she is at the Grammy site but until this morning i'd never heard of her before. Anyway, the rant is, why award a song called "Rehab", appropriately titled from an artist with the last name of Winehouse SONG OF THE YEAR over another song that had been named COUNTRY SONG OF THE YEAR at the same ceremony? Why the division? If "Before He Cheats" is considered good enough to win COUNTRY SONG OF THE YEAR then why not award it SONG OF THE YEAR, as well, since it was nominated? Why continue to divide country and pop artists by constantly allowing pop and rock singers to take home the "big awards" at the Grammy's? Anyway, i thought it odd and peculiar that a song can be good to win in one category but not good to win in another when it's the same song.

In a lesser known category there was some stunning news. In the COUNTRY COLLABORATION category, the Grammy went to Willie Nelson and Ray Price for their duet, "Lost Highway", on their Last of the Breed CD collection with Merle Haggard. I doubt that category was televised...the song beat out the more popular "Because of You" by Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson which i thought would get more nominations and press because it was a giant hit song for the two of them.
=========================================

Hello ALL CAPS, Frankie, Woodstock, Charlene, Tiffany, and the rest!!

Charlene: Subway offers meatball sub's as well. I usually do not make my own sub's at all...but i bought a pack of frozen meatballs at Wal*Mart and all you do is heat up the amount you want, then place them on a sub bun that has been spread with pizza sauce and then add the shredded mozzarella cheese and stick them back in the microwave for about 20 seconds. They are not as great as if they were made in an oven though...but i'm not tackling an oven when there's a microwave. I leave the oven to my parent's who know how to operate it.

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!!!

  ANGELA, Jayne, Charlene, and all the gang soon to be here!!!

I slept later than I wanted to.     That's what happens when you wake up in the middle of the night.      So I'm in a hurry.

I shouldn't have said anything about my bad day yesterday.  I know things will get better and I certainly appreciate all the kind words. 

ANGELA - You are finally getting the cold we have been having.     Dress warm.  It's brutal out there.

Jayne - Have fun at the Pig Show tonight!!!  I wish it was warm enough around here to enjoy something like that!!!

Charlene - I'm glad you can stay in!!!    I wish I could.  I feel so s*rry for the kids, too. 

  to everyone as you come in.

It's School Spirit Week and we have a different theme everyday, so we get to dress up, or dress down....   however you look at it.  It's fun.   Today is Camouflage Day.  I have Camo pants that my husband got somewhere.      And brown and green tops to match, and brown boots.     At least the clothes are warm!!!

Better hurry...
