:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

34. Must be nice, you two

I would have loved not to have to leave the house today.

[RevCheesehead]

35. All I had to do was call two people and squeak.

All agreed, wholeheartedly, that I should stay home. :)

[ralps]

41. I'm slowly recovering from a cold, That's one of the reasons I stayed

inside. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[bettyellen]

7. hey look everybody, i redecorated my OP !!

:evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

12. Good job, BE

[bettyellen]

17. it's an oldie but goodie.

as is our man.
:blush:

[SharonRB]

18. Haven't seen that one for a while

Are you going to join us in NYC in February? You haven't signed in on our roll call thread.

[bettyellen]

20. oh fer sure! i'm already here, ready and waiting!

thanks, i didn't see that, i'll look!

[SharonRB]

28. There's been some discussion about the two places we're thinking about

The Residence Inn that's just opening on Times Square or the Ramada New Yorker at 34th & 8th.

[bettyellen]

38. Hmmm, I dunno that Ramada, has it been renovated lately?

Let's see Times Sq has a lot of fun stuff and greaaat shopping + B'way + cool restuarnts now and 34th is a bit on the decline.
also Times Sq has more train connections everywhere, and ehem, buses to Seacaucus. LOL.
It's moot to me, I can get home easily at any hour, either place. I have a short safe trip home, so no worries there.

[SharonRB]

40. I've been leaning toward the brand new Res Inn

but Pats suggested the other one, too, so we're going to check them both out and see what DG's cousin might be able to do for us at the Res Inn. I think the Ramada has been updated, but I'm not sure how long ago. However, if you know that the area is better in Times Square, maybe we should go that way.

Are you going to stay with us at the hotel or go home at night? Bunny is planning to stay with us.

[bettyellen]

50. I'm so close to home (and laid off again) so, I can't stay....

but in terms of walking out the door and being hit with a cool vibe, Times Square is it.
It just looks a lot more impressive. It has a lot of cool stuff right there. 34th Street has Madison Sq Garden, a couple of H+M's and Macy's, the Empire State Building a few blocks away....but it is seedier than Times Sq theses days. and 8th Av is a bit away from the action/ cafes/ resturants convienient subways. Trust me, I know the hoods well, been working forever right between the two of them. I always work between 37th + 40 th and commute through 34th or 42nd... so ask me!

[SharonRB]

56. Good advice -- thanks!

[WolverineDG]

51. even if we don't get a deal

i vote for the residence inn. :)

dg

[SharonRB]

57. I do, too, now for sure

BE pushed me over the edge. I was teetering between the two before.

[bettyellen]

62. if you don't get a deal, also check out Hotwire-

they are very aboveboard and are pretty specific about the quality level, location etc.
In DC my room was like 65% off. In Feb you should be able to get a deal.

[SharonRB]

63. The only drawback is that it's Presidents' Day weekend

so I'm not sure the deals are as good. The rates for the studios, sleeping three, weren't bad at the Resident Inn. I think there were studios for $243.00 a night -- split three ways that's not bad, especially for Manhattan. The only thing that was better about the New Yorker was that there are a few people who want to get their own rooms and there were some less expensive rooms there. I think $143 or so.

[bettyellen]

71. the only bad thing w/ Hotwire is that the deals aren't up until just a

month beforehand. so looking now will probably net you nothing. if you can reserve another place without a deposit, and then meet here and give hotwire a shot and see. they do not give you the name of hotel till you buy it, but it ususally at least 50% off. and they tell you the hood and star rating, sometimes you can tell which one it is.
wow, 143 is cheap!

[WolverineDG]

81. i think that was for a solo room

at the paramount. i bet my closet it bigger than that room. :)

dg

[WolverineDG]

83. my concern with hotwire

is that we will probably need more than 2 rooms. if we have to make several different bids, we might end up in different hotels. :(

dg

[bettyellen]

87. if you do it at the same time, it should be fine.

the way they describe them, you can tell it's the same one. each one is listed with a seperate description and price. if you do at the same time, you should be able to hit the same place. not 100% of a guarantee, but if you don't have to prepay it's worth a look. i have to look and see which hotels do them- those that do don't do "listed" promotions. i'll find out what i can, okay?

[WolverineDG]

89. ok

& i'll start making not-so-idle threats to my esteemed relation. (like not smuggling 10 dozen tamales up north, make me sleep in the doghouse, i'm telling your mother, see if i care---that'll get their attention!) ;)

dg

[bettyellen]

90. LOL!

[WolverineDG]

95. christmas with my family

it's not just a joy, it's an adventure...and not one for the weak of heart (or stomach for that matter)....

dg

[Berry Cool]

70. Hey, he's not THAT old!!!

Poor Keith!

:loveya: anyway...

[WolverineDG]

84. she's referring to the pic

i think.


dg

on edit: oops, wrong poster....

[bleever]

[bettyellen]

14. yes, but y'all get yer keys back at 9 sharp! Cabs for everyone!!!

:hi:

[bleever]

31. Are we putting all the keys in a fishbowl?

I think I saw this movie...


:hi:

[SharonRB]

32. Ice Storm

I loved that movie. It was the first time I ever saw Allison Janney in anything.

[bettyellen]

52. Naughty you!

That was such a great movie. Omigod, I love the woman from Westwing wearing her "hostess skirt". LOL!

[SharonRB]

59. She was the perfect 70s wife

I loved her in that and was excited to see her on West Wing when it came on the air. She's a great actress.

[RevCheesehead]

13. Now that's a :loveya: photo!

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[bettyellen]

19. this is a :loveya: group of people, so it works.

how r ya, rev?
sounding better? it's not a rita sound, it's marlene deitrich.
repeat after me:
"Falling in love again, never wanted to.... what am i to do?
cont help it."

[RevCheesehead]

23. Now that, I like!

Voice is still out, but I've enjoyed a lazy day in my flannel snap-front lounger. Hot tomato soup, grilled cheese, and a full day of posting on DU (interrupted by a long nap). What more could a cheese want?

What's new in your life, BE? Any bathtub in your future yet?

[WolverineDG]

27. sorry about your voice, rev

how'd ya like your earworm? :evilgrin:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

30. Can't say that it affected me.

Did you buy the 45, too? :)

[WolverineDG]

36. oh heavens NO

i always hated that damn song. how about "billy, don't be a hero?" nothing like a good dead boyfriend song to help you while away the cold, frosty evenings of the north....

dg

[bettyellen]

42. i'm guessing 6 month to bathtub. ugh. otherwise i'd have room for one of

you guys in feb, hmmmm nothing too interesting, i saw Progmom this weekend, she has become a good friend in the past year. That was fun. I'm freelancing again. My x-boss flipped out on me because he was actually wrong about something, and i was right. he had a fucking meltdown even though no one else was around and i was very quiet and meek about it and he scared the beejesus out of me. omigod it was one of those ugly moments you can never take back. so, i'm happy to be out of there. :shrug:

[SharonRB]

45. Sorry things didn't work out, BE.

I hope you're getting lots of freelance work, though.

[bettyellen]

60. Thanks! I know it stinks, but I have to find something on my own.

it was really breaking me fiancially working through the agency, they take almost as much as I do. they want me to start something else next week, but the $$$, again, isn't there.
If I sweat it out, I'll get a lot more hourly. and that's what i need to do.
jerk boss got really pissed i knew more than he did about something. he got flaming red in the face angry. who needs that shit?

[Greylyn58]

15. Evening All

dg

[ralps]

33. Please Keith don't cover the "Christmas Controversy"

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[WolverineDG]

58. WBJWJS??

(what baby jesus would jesus steal?)

wow, i think bible school grandma needs to read through the 10 commandments again...i don't see any exceptions for stealing baby jesuses/jesusus/jesi? :shrug:

dg

[SharonRB]

43. Off-topic, but I checked my posts a little while ago and I had no idea

I had gone over 5,000. I'm at about 5,200. Now how did that happen? Couldn't be because I hang out here too much, could it?

[RevCheesehead]

47. Naaahhhh - couldn't be!

Way to go, Sharon! :toast:

[ralps]

[bleever]

44. "Loser"! I trust you've all heard the version of this that rosebud57 and

I came up with a few months ago.

www.bushcheated04.com

Rosebud's site, a spoof on VH1 Behind the Music. Scroll down the inside page to the link, near the chimps.

[Berry Cool]

75. And it's another Jeans Night for Keith.

He ain't no "perdador." :loveya:

[SharonRB]

48. Now there's a shock

Howard Stern in therapy four days a week? Nah, couldn't be.

[WolverineDG]

49. katie couric

the harriet miers of tv news anchor-dom.

dg

[Botany]

54. KO to keep us abreast of the latest Jennifer Anniston news

:rofl:


drive by

[SharonRB]

61. And Elton and his partner are a much prettier couple

than Charles and Camilla.

[RevCheesehead]

64. OK, "Plastic Jesus" is clearly a shout-out to me.

O8) Prove me wrong. :P

[bettyellen]

65. it is, but WHY did she steal the Jesus?

did i miss something? is it because Jesus isn't supposed to be out until the 25th?
or does she collect them?

[SharonRB]

68. I read something about this earlier today somewhere on DU

I guess the Jesus gets stolen every year and her daughter said it hadn't been stolen yet and suggested she steal it.

[bettyellen]

74. They stole Frank Sinatra's Sidewalk "Star" here and guess how they caught

the people?
they ordered takeout and the delivery guy had read about it and called the cops. Idiots had it right there in their hallway.

[Berry Cool]

78. So, it's just a tradition, I gather

sort of like stealing your rival football team's mascot?

And in this case, there's this weird tradition that's formed of someone stealing Jesus every year...so she just thought this year, she'd be the one?

[WolverineDG]

88. yeah, you know, those old family christmas traditions

it wouldn't be christmas if we didn't all have to go downtown to bail out grandma....

at least they know she didn't get run down by reindeer!

dg

[Berry Cool]

77. Well, he did mention the thing about Methodists

And all those ads for Prilosec OTC with the Packers fan are a pretty blatant ploy, too.

[RevCheesehead]

79. He loves me.

He's just not aware of it, yet. :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

91. Yeah, I got the same problem.

He loves me too and isn't aware of it.

Damn, the man needs some consciousness-raising!

[WolverineDG]

93. ok, now you have to join us in nyc

:)



dg

[RevCheesehead]

96. I'll definately be there in spirit.

Then again, I might just sneak to Secaucus on my own. :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

99. well if you do

call if you need bail. :evilgrin:

dg

[SharonRB]

66. "To Wong Fu, Thanks for Nothing"

:rofl: Mo is so funny.

[WolverineDG]

72. i almost had a stroke

i was laughing so hard. t squares & jesus, christmas trees as drag queens.... :rofl:

sissy spacek, sharon!

dg

[Berry Cool]

82. The best part of it all

was that Keith tried to play it so completely straight and dry, yet you could see that smile just barely held back all the way through.

I LOVE it when he's impish.

:loveya: for impish Keith.

[WolverineDG]

85. nah, they cut back & caught him losing it

i might have been :rofl: myself, but i caught that part. :7

dg

[Berry Cool]

92. OK, so he couldn't help it.

But it's like when Tim Conway used to make Harvey Korman lose it on the Carol Burnett Show!

[WolverineDG]

97. those were the best parts of the show!! n/t

[ralps]

67. The "Drag Queens" of Christnas LOL The Trees!!!!!!!

This is really funny. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

80. Hey you guys...did you see?? Attention Gogi!!!!!

Keith had the SAME look and sound in his voice tonight handing off to Billy Bush as he did last night with the new chick!

This can mean only one thing: Billy Bush is his new love!

Yes, look for Keith and Billy to follow Elton and his groom down the aisle soon. :rofl:

[tatia_s]

86. I thought about saying something similar...

but I thought it might be taken negatively, so I didn't. ;)


~Tatiana

[Berry Cool]

94. Hey, that's OK, I was just funnin'.

Then again, it could be said that that's about the happiest Keith has looked when forced to deal with a member of the Bush family in a LONG time.

What can you say? For a newscaster, he's a good actor!

[Gogi]

100. Oh, no, Berry!

Nothing like, I checked.
