[ScreamingMeemie]

8. You bet!

Only the TSA can keep me away! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. I am just scared

that the immigration takes so much time that we don't have enough time. I would say 4 hours layover out to be enough but you never know these days

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. I know! I know! But Detroit is pretty good so far as I've heard,

and it would be worth the trip if only to see you for a few minutes. It's not so far away from me to where it would be a wasted trip. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Your word

in whoever's ear :)

Then I am sure we will have the time.

:bounce:

It was awfully nice of billyskank to be so nice to me on a morning when he knew I needed it. :hi:

[Joe Fields]

37. Anything we can do to brighten your day!

[LostinVA]

23. Who's MrsGrumpy?

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. The girl with the thing at the thing.

:hi: :P

[LostinVA]

40. Oh... the fake lesbian...

[ScreamingMeemie]

43. Hey! I thought it was HONORARY!!!

:rofl:

so... no toaster then?

[LostinVA]

47. I was going by your post in the thread last night or this morning!

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. Oh...that post.

:D I really must do something about that husband if I am to be believed,eh?

[LostinVA]

69. Yup, unless you want to be on "the down low"

[Sugar Smack]

24. Oh, I do. Apart from her natural fabulousness, her

sense of humor and natural curiosity & wisdom, she has the most beautiful family I've ever seen in fact or fiction, herself included, of course.

:loveya: :hug: :hi: Mrs. Grumpy. Thank you for being down-to-earth and real.

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. You are the one who is always real...approachable and friendly

Sugar Smack. I really miss you when you are not here. :loveya: :hug: DUers are the best and this place has meant so much to me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. It is easy to be sweet to you when you are so sweet to everyone

here. :hug: :loveya:

[Bunny]

27. Well, who doesn't appreciate her?

Anyone? :shrug: I don't think it's possible to not appreciate Mrs. G!

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. Bunny, you are terrific.

And it's easy to not appreciate me sometimes in GD, or various Lounge threads about shucking corn on the cob or standing on escalators. :) :hug: :loveya:

[Bunny]

63. Well, I stand on escalators too.

Shh - don't tell anyone! ;)

[ScreamingMeemie]

88. We will have to go the mall sometime.

:) Or to D.C. and ride on the realllly looongg escalators they have there. :P

[Bunny]

100. And we'll stand side by side, so those escalator climbers will not

be able to pass us! :evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

106. I missed that flame war

There was one about ESCALATORS? :crazy:

[bridgit]

28. now this is the very kind of popularity thread that i find gratuitously...

idiotic...she knows well & good i enjoy her company if & when when she decides to bestow it, hey girl :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. Hey bridgit!

:hi:

But it made me feel good on a day that might have turned out crappy.

You, I would always bestow my company upon...:hug:

[bridgit]

103. we bombed out for some work just after i posted to your thread here...

in for a quick beer & sammich, as always, i very much hope your days to be flowing in a positive & creative way everyday :hug:

[Zomby Woof]

29. You betcha!

She is one the bestest sweethearts of all time! :loveya: :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. Even if I drink all the coffee? And jump on the couch with my shoes

even? Or really do put squirrel poop in the salad??? ;) :hug: :loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

49. ALL endearing qualities!

I assure you! :hug: :loveya:


Even when you pee on the seat! :o

[ScreamingMeemie]

55. Shhhhhh! That was a secret!

And I was TIRED! :rofl:

[bigwillq]

35. Mrs. Grumpy is my American Idol!

I love her dearly! She is one of my closest DU friends.
She means the world to me. :hi: :hug: :pals: :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

50. I love you more than you'll ever know bigwill.

I cannot wait until the day I meet you. There have been days when everything has gone so wrong and then a chat with you puts them all back into perspective. Without getting too mushy, know each day of your life how much I care about you... And WannaBe has quickly become a huge fan of yours. :hug: :loveya: :hug:

[bigwillq]

57. I'm going to make PassingFair

keep her promise.

We got through step one by getting Lamont to be our DEM senatorial nominee. Now it's on to Nov. You remember what she said, right?? :)

I can't wait to meet you too. :hug:

And WannaBe is a huge fan of mine as well. You've raised quite a young lady.

:loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

81. I remember! And that would be one trip I'd love to plan!

:loveya:

She had us worried there for a minute.. not really, she is a great kid and a beautiful young woman. :loveya:

[tigereye]

46. I like Mrs. G

it's fun to commiserate about, and enjoy various kid/family escapades.

[ScreamingMeemie]

52. It is! It really is!

:hug:

So many times your life seems to parallel mine. tigereye, your friendship means tons to me. It seems like we don't get to chat as much, but I am always really happy to see you. :hi:

[tigereye]

71. I fail to send many pms, I guess

I probably should send a few more! I've been running around doing the work, car repair, lug kid to camp, ponder prohibitive cost of latest household repair thing....:)

:hug:

too bad you can't go to my entodontist, he's pretty cool and has a Russian accent.

[ScreamingMeemie]

72. I don't send many either and forget it is a really good way to keep in

touch since you get a notice in your email.

This was a little short bald man who likes Willie Nelson (the new endo) but it ended up that I have tetanus, would you believe? It's been a whacky summer for sure. :hug:

[tigereye]

89. tetanus?

from the dentist? Or cleaning up? Don't people have to have their shots every 10 years? in my work, I used to get the shots every 10 years, since I would occasionally be bitten by a kid. :(

you need to be whisked away for a few days to a resort or something, Mrs. G. Tell Mr G to get right on it!

[ScreamingMeemie]

90. I stepped on an AC/DC cord a month ago and punctured the bottom

of my foot. I had a tetanus shot about 6 years ago but it may not have taken I suppose? I had the fillings a few weeks ago and just supposed that it was that, as did my dentist. The endodontist couldn't get into my mouth to do anything, and said that it may have been "trismis" (sp) which I googled when I got home, from the novacaine shots... and that I should see a doctor. When I googled it, I saw it was tetanus and put two and two together and the doctor confirmed after looking at and "debriding" my foot (we won't go into that) that it was indeed tetanus. On the plus side, tetanus boosters don't appear to hurt as much as they used to... and I am on some really killer painkillers.

[tigereye]

93. hope you feel better!

[ScreamingMeemie]

94. I am... and this thread has gone a long way toward that.

:hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

48. I appreciate her more than she'll ever know

[ScreamingMeemie]

53. That feeling there is reciprocated.

I bought another thing for Mr. Cocoa.

How does he feel about stuffed cows?? :hug: :loveya:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

58. Does it squeak?

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

61. No, but it's about the same size as the panda.

:D next time I'll get him a squeaky thing. I was at Walgreens the other day and saw him in the bin with the pandas.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

68. He'll have his own little farm

let's see, he has a panda, a cow, a bear...just don't get him a kitty toy..chewing is hell on the real cats :evilgrin: (and they DO squeak)

[bigwillq]

59. OMG! Teena!

:hi:

Seriously, I was just thinking about you.
I was just outside having a smoke and I was talking in my head and saying "I haven't seen nothingshockmeanymore lately. Hope she's ok"

Good to see you! :hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

67. Awwww.....

thanks...it's always good to see you, Will...and yes, I am more than ok. I'm doing great. Hope you are as well :hug:

[huskerlaw]

51. Doesn't everybody??

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

54. Hi huskerlaw!

Where have you been? It feels like ages since I have seen you! :hug:

[huskerlaw]

60. Awww!

Good to know I was missed!

I'm doing the professor thing this fall, so work has gotten a bit insane. I still pop in occasionally, but don't post that much.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. That sounds like it will be busy!

Let us know when you are here, because I'm always, ALWAYS happy to see you. :hug:

[Shell Beau]

64. Of course! She is a doll!

:)

[ScreamingMeemie]

73. Shell Beau!!!!

There you are!!! Gosh I miss you. All the time. :hug:

[Shell Beau]

79. Aw!! You are too sweet!

You always brighten up DU!!! That is just the kind of person you are!! :pals: :)

[I Have A Dream]

65. I wouldn't have known about the baby panda if it...

weren't for MrsG. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

74. Confession time.

I still watch him every day. Not as often because he's too active and doesn't stay in one place, but he's just as cute and funny. I love it when he and his mama play. :hug:

[I Have A Dream]

102. Me too! He's a real brat right now to his mom, isn't he?

(But I still love him! :))

[CaliforniaPeggy]

66. Omigod, do I ever appreciate MrsGrumpy!

I am always honored to have her respond to my posts!

She is a Lounge giant.........a lady who I always look up to with so much respect........

I just love her!


:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

75. It is a great group of people we have here at DU.

CP, you uplift the Lounge with your pictures and sweetness. :hug: :loveya: :hug:

[soleft]

70. Mrs. G - do your kids know how cool you are?

oops, I just saw your thread about saying good night via DU. Well, if they come here they must know then!

[ScreamingMeemie]

77. My daughter will tell you that I am bipolar... my son is okay with me

as long as I am listening to him all the time...

...

..... My daughter says she was just being stupid when she called me that... :think:


It has been so good to see you around. How has life been treating you? :hug:

[soleft]

91. Life is good

Playing a lot of softball. I'm always around DU - guess I'm just quiet.

Are you ready for the new football season?

[ScreamingMeemie]

92. More than ready! Favre has been throwing just as many interceptions

as ever so it should be a great year! I always laugh over those who think he's somehow "lost it" when his numbers TD/INT are about the same every year. I hope they can do something this year.

How's the season going for you? I miss playing softball.

[soleft]

101. 1 team I'm on is undefeated, and the other team finished 3 and 17

So it's been literally up and down.

But I'm playing in a tournament over Labor Day in Montreal, and I've never been there. I'm bringing my son, so it should be a fun trip.

[LaraMN]

76. She's a big cup o' sweetness!

Love that lady! Kind, thoughtful, passionate, wonderful...
:loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

83. No you are! I love reading your posts and and you bring such fun

to the Lounge. My life is better for knowing you and you have incredible strength. :hug: :loveya:

[ChickMagic]

78. Ah luv yew

MrsGrumpy!!! :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

84. ginbarn!

Another day with ginbarn in the Lounge! I've missed you! :loveya:

[ChickMagic]

86. Aw, see why I loves ya?

:loveya:

[wildhorses]

80. MrsGrumpy is not

and that is all I have to say about that:P








































































she is really very nice:yoiks:

[ScreamingMeemie]

85. And you are "wild"ly wonderful!

Don't tell my children that I am not. I have carefully crafted my persona and it would break their little hearts.

[Mutley]

82. I Love MrsGrumpy.

She's not grumpy at all, most of the time. :P

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

87. I love mutley!

:loveya:


I save most of my grumpiness for GD... and people who run up escalators... and my family... so I'm told.

[RevCheesehead]

95. Appreciate her? Hell, no!!

I ADORE HER!!! :bounce::bounce::loveya::hug:

[billyskank]

96. Good call

I needed this today. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

97. Are you READY for some FOOTBALL???

:hug: :loveya:

I cannot wait, it is the only good thing about Fall. :hug:


You are the best Rev.

[RevCheesehead]

99. Yup - I just finished washing the windows:

[SOteric]

104. She's nifty!

And spiff! And even peachy-keen! :loveya: :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

115. ...and you're the cat's meow!!!

:loveya: :hug: :pals:

With the best smiley's this side of the Mississippi.

[Haole Girl]

105. She once defended me, when few had the guts to!

Very nice lady! :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

116. Awww, hey!

:hi: :hug: :loveya: Easy to do.

[sakabatou]

107. For those that haven't seen her....

We still appreciate her.

[ScreamingMeemie]

117. I appreciate you too, sakabatou!

Maybe some day I'll get to see you! I've got brothers in CA. :hi: LA to be exact.

[Patiod]

108. My heart doesn't leap, but she IS a good egg!

She gave me a hug once :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

118. Hi Patiod!

:hug: How are things going with the real estate deal? :hi:

[Patiod]

124. Grrr...the wheels of justice grind slowly......

Also, when you're dealing with 82 year olds, you're more likely to get Daily Medical Reports vs. timely Real Estate/Zoning News. Sure I'll get the whole scoop when I go over to visit tomorrow.

Thanks for asking!
:hi:

[Metta]

110. Panda mom.

Many thanks for that alone. Here's to you. :thumbsup: :donut: :donut: :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

119. Metta!

So good to see you! :hug: I've missed you!

[Metta]

137. Hey, sweet lady.

... hope everything's going well for you and yours and that the weather has turned beautiful where you are. Have a dounut? :donut: :donut: :hug:

[ForrestGump]

111. She's

always on my mind... :D

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

120. The very best cover of that, done by the very best Elvis impersonator

ever!!! :hug:

You've been on my mind a lot this week. I hope things are going well.

[ForrestGump]

138. Oh, you. Please, stop..stop

and say it again. :D

Thank you, Mrs not-really-very-Grumpy-at-all... :hug:

Yes, things are going pretty well. There's been some interesting stuff going on in the job, too, intrigue and all sorts of weird stuff and even (briefly, at least for now) a little romance! :D

Never a dull moment, anyway. I hope that the same is true for you, and that all the un-dull moments are good ones...

:loveya:

[u4ic]

112. MrsGrumpy

is the cat's pajamas! :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

121. Hi u4ic!

:loveya:

And you are one of DU's brightest and nicest... and sweetest...and kindest... and funniest...! :hug:

[u4ic]

136. You're so sweet...

:hug:

[Redstone]

113. Yeah, I like her. And anyone can quote me on that, anytime.

Because it's true.

Redstone

[ScreamingMeemie]

122. Redstone...

I like you too. In fact, I adore you. Common sense, concern and friendship all rolled into one. And I can be quoted on that too! I'd defend you to my last breath! :hug:

[liberalhistorian]

114. Ahem! And

does her husband know that? :evilgrin:

[ScreamingMeemie]

123. Hey!!! Where have you been?!?

:hug:

Yes, MrG knows all about billyskank! :) He says I spend way too much time on here, but he's not going to worry until the credit card gets maxed out on airline tickets! :hi:

[liberalhistorian]

163. Well. if you're gonna dump him, can

you send him my way, then? Smart, funny, liberal guys are pretty hard to find around here! :evilgrin: :P

[bertha katzenengel]

125. I love Mrs. Grumpy.

She'll be my first visit if ever I visit the great state of Michigan.

[ScreamingMeemie]

126. I hope that's when...

You guys are making my head swell so that I won't be able to come into the Lounge anymore. :hug: :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

127. Appreciate? It's much more than that!

:loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

128. Likewise GOP.

:loveya: It seems like I don't get to chat with you as much... and I miss that. :hug:

[GOPisEvil]

129. True. I'm not here as much. I miss you and some other good people.

I wish I could post all day like I used to. :)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

130. She completely rocks

Even though she's a Packers fan. :bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

131. hahahahaah!

It's good to see you! :hug: How are things?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

132. The usual boringness

Perpetually failing bar exams and perpetually studying for them, when not playing computer games, sleeping or staring at the walls.

[ScreamingMeemie]

139. It'll happen. I'll tell you a secret... and it's really embarassing...

I failed fingerwaves on my licensing exam for cosmetology something like 6 times. I passed everything else the first time around and just could do the damned 20's style waves... I think they passed me when I threatened a lawsuit. It was outrageous. $500 just to get the damned license. Crazy. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

133. I ask you this: how can you *not* love MrsG?

I mean, it's like hating puppies or something, it just doesn't happen!

[ScreamingMeemie]

140. Somedays it's easy.

:hug: You are so sweet. I miss seeing you all the time. We all seem to have gotten too busy or something. :loveya:

[RevolutionaryActs]

154. I know. I should be around more now though.

:7



I don't work nearly as much with my new job(which is just fantastic), so I should have more time to post. Mwhahaha! :bounce:

[jobycom]

134. She's sweet to hermit crabs. Wins my affection every time. nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

142. We've been holding off on getting new ones because I am worried

that I will kill them. BabyG has been bugging me to get some new friends...and I'm afraid.

Thanks so much, joby :hug: This was a bad week self esteem wise and you guys have helped immensely.

[ZombieNixon]

135. GrsMumpy rocks!

:yourock: :ih: :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

143. As does Nomiemix-er-something or other.

:hug:

Remind me to let you in on a secret sometime. :)

[ZombieNixon]

165. Umm...

OK, now I'm interested. :o

[LadyoftheRabbits]

141. *appreciates Mrs. Grumpy*

She's a sweetie... beautiful dog, too! :D :thumbsup:

[ScreamingMeemie]

144. ***am so glad your mom got you on here***

I can see that sweetness and wonderfulness runs deep in your family. DU gets better every day...with each new person. Everyone is appreciated here. :loveya:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

145. Aww!

:hug:

[WannaBePassingFair]

146. I LOVE MRS GRUMPY!!

shes practically my second mom!

[ScreamingMeemie]

147. AND I LOVE WANNABEPASSINGFAIR!!!

Even if she can shout louder than me. Your mom is practically like a sister to me, and you are so beloved by us all... You make us proud... sniffle...sob...STOP GROWING UP!!! :hug: :loveya: :hug:


Now..if these people only knew the real life, crabby, yelly, PMS-y, nasty Mommy I can be... this thread wouldn't be a 10th as long. ;) Don't tell.

[WannaBePassingFair]

148. okay. i promise i won't.

:hug:

PS: Hey are you and WannaBe coming over tonight since my dad and Mr.G are going out?

[ScreamingMeemie]

149. I'm not feeling so hot with the foot and the mouth and the thing with the

thing...so I'll probably have to take a raincheck. :hug: :loveya: I'm not moving around so very well-y.

[WannaBePassingFair]

152. awwww....

thats sad. guess we'll just have to invade your house instead. (lol)
:hug: :pals:

[ScreamingMeemie]

153. I'm okay....Just stupidity to walk into WannaBe's room all barefoot

and stuff. :hug: :loveya:

[WannaBePassingFair]

155. remember when i stepped on a tack in her room?

i think her bedroom is cursed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

156. I think you may be onto something there...

:think:

[WannaBePassingFair]

157. maybe.....

or maybe its just you...
:hug: :rofl: :hug:

[PassingFair]

150. I live around the corner from her, and I'll HAVE YOU KNOW....

..she's even NICER in real life!

But you'd better have sugar Coke in the house.

...just sayin.

[ScreamingMeemie]

151. Heheheheheheh...

Right... Cough *** bull*** cough ****shit****.


Hey you! :hug: Speaking of Coke, I've got that other 2 liter of Diet from last week that I'm hanging on to for you iffen you want it. It hasn't been opened or anything yet.

[PassingFair]

158. What R U doing tonite, seeing as how our husbands

have a DATE.......

That was one FUNNY phone call this morning.

Luke's probably wondering what to wear.

"Do these khaki's make my butt look big?"

[ScreamingMeemie]

160. My husband even SHAVED, for Gawd's sake.

I can't even get him to do that.

I'm feeling a bit worn out, but I'll call you. K?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

159. I do!

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

161. It's the Coffee Antichrist!!!

:loveya:

[Deja Q]

162. My heart leaps even further!

:loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

164. Awww, Hypno!

:loveya:

I fear my head is so swelled up right now, I'll never get out the door. You're stuck with me. :hug:
