Patrick Feb 6th, 2004 09:55 AM

wow, your post is confusing. Is the boob you are referring to her brother or not?

Rave: It's 80 degrees right now in Naples. Not a cloud in the sky for my beach walk this morning.

Rant: I had to switch to iced latte at Starbucks this morning after my beach walk. And since I'm roasting lamb and a duck for cassoulet for our ART cast party, I had to turn on the air-conditioning!

(I wonder why people in Fargo hate me?)


Ani Feb 6th, 2004 10:07 AM

Hah Patrick! Hilarious!
Rant: (well, much more than a rant, actually) That freakin psycho in Florida killing that poor 11 year old girl.

Rave: Thats right, say it with me...10 more weeks to go and it will be BABY time!

missjanna Feb 6th, 2004 11:08 AM

Rant: All week we had decent weather and now that's it's Friday, it rains and turns cold!! Why does the weather ALWAYS seem to be worst during the weekends??

Rant: Now that I have finally settled into a relationship, a guy I would have killed to see again only a month ago contacts me asking if he can see me again. Can you say Murphy's Law?

Rant: Jesus, enough about Janet's boob! LOL

Rave: I'm going to DC again next weekend - and it's a 3 day weekend!

Rave: The day is almost over.

LN Feb 6th, 2004 11:50 AM

Rant:
I'm sitting here with this rain, sleet and ice and I could have been in Florida nice and warm.

travelisfun Feb 6th, 2004 11:53 AM

Rant: Hubby might deploy sooner than we thought and our trip to Sonoma/Napa will be out the window! :(

travelisfun--my dh just retired last week...so i know what you are up against.

rant--dh started a new job already and i am left to deal with the move, with a broken right hand no less.

rave--we are headed back to Oregon where we have wanted to return to for many years:)

travelisfun Feb 6th, 2004 01:15 PM

mms--
Congrats on the retirement! My husband is a 1st Lt for USAF--only 3 years into it and wants to stay in for 20! I'm sure this will be the first of MANY rescheduled vacations. Good luck with the move--hooray for getting to move where YOU want to!

SaraLM Feb 6th, 2004 01:31 PM

Rant: 3 more weeks of being pregnant

Marilyn Feb 6th, 2004 02:46 PM

BIG RAVE: To jor for finally putting the date on Freaky Friday post so we know which thread we're on.

Rave: Even though it's Friday night and it's fairly new on DVD, we've got a copy of Le Divorce waiting at the video store for us. We get to look at Paris and dream about our next trip.

Rant: It's just a breast, for God's sake! The ads were a lot more offensive.

Fodorite018 Feb 6th, 2004 03:36 PM

travelisfun--dh was an officer in the Navy...20 years. it went by VERY fast though...enjoy every minute of it, even those times that drive you crazy, lol! yes...get the cat:) we got 2 right after our first move, which was only a few months after getting married and it was a cross country move...i think dh felt sorry for me also:)

TalkisCheap Feb 6th, 2004 03:42 PM

rant - i live in maine

rave - warmth in 29 days(orlando)

rant - my kids are fighting

rave - they'll be gone tomorrow all day

rant - basically that i ever had these cute little babies that have turned into fighting, obnoxious, loud, phone hogging, boyfriend bringing home teenagers

rave - ones at college, and the next two arn't far behind



ok i may sound a little mean but being home all day with 2 female teenagers and 4 of their friends while they have a snow day is more than i can handle......

Mary2Go Feb 6th, 2004 04:16 PM

Rant: Someone is suing over Janet J's boob? Why are people so outraged over the boob at the superbowl when there so many more "boobs" in more dangerous places, like political office!!! Maybe if they had more of JJ's cleavage they would have less Viagra advertising!
Rave: I got to plan more business travel for hub so more FF miles and hotel rewards!

iceeu2 Feb 6th, 2004 04:58 PM

Rant: That I am so stupid to actually watch the David Gest interview with Stone Phillips.
Rave: The rain has stopped!

Scarlett Feb 6th, 2004 05:16 PM

Rave:
That there are so many tiny little Fodorites due soon ((F))

weenie57 Feb 6th, 2004 05:29 PM

rave: Our snow in Rochester is shrinking!

rant: It turns out that 1 foot of ice is almost as annoying as 4 feet of snow!

Mary2Go: Pretty funny boob comment!

wow Feb 6th, 2004 07:08 PM

even funnier coming from weenie!

emd Feb 6th, 2004 08:02 PM

Rant: it's just past midnight and I missed the chance to do a freaky friday post again.

Marilyn Feb 6th, 2004 08:13 PM

I thought we established last week that the statute of limitations ran until Sunday midnight. Besides, emd, it's only 9:10pm Friday night here on the left coast!

Alisa Feb 6th, 2004 09:38 PM

I'll add late one from California.

Rave: I just became an Auntie for the first time!

Rant: I have to work tommorrow!

TravelerGina Feb 6th, 2004 09:40 PM

Thanks, Marilyn, for the clarification! That gives us on the East/Right Coast an extra three hours to rant/rave.

Rant: We here in mid-Michigan got a few more inches of snow today (which may not seem much to those of you out of the snow belt, but to those of us with over a foot of snow to begin with, is A LOT).

Rave: Winter is now more than half over and the days are getting longer (which means that spring is out there somewhere!)

clairelong Feb 6th, 2004 10:02 PM

They are ranting over the "boob" because it was "broadcasted" EVERYWHERE. There are small kids to adults who are christian, people who have morals and apparently these are the people that are offended.

Marilyn Feb 6th, 2004 11:12 PM

Hey, I have morals, and I was not offended by the breast but I <i>was</i> offended by some of those incredibly tacky and misogynistic commercials (and I don't mean the erectile dysfunction ones).

Beatle Feb 7th, 2004 04:51 AM

Ques. How do you know when it's time to go to bed at Neverland?

Ans. When the big hand is on the little hand.

Judyrem Feb 7th, 2004 05:09 AM

Rant: poor Carlie and her family, I am heartbroken. I think watching her being abducted made the the whole mess MUCH WORSE. Rave: here in SWFla, a cool cloudy day(high 68*) to read a good book, I feel guilty when reading on a gorgeous 80* day like yesterday! Judy

BuffaloGirl Feb 7th, 2004 05:27 AM

RANT: Homeowners and businesses that don't clear their sidewalks or put salt on the ice!

RAVE: Three weeks until Florida!
