rave: haven't said it in a while...my bf. rave/rant: my ever growing craving for a trip out to northern california! when will it happen? ;-) ronkala...congrats, enjoy it. i guess that's all for now! :-D |
Heartfelt prayers for Fodors friends in need.
AM, the fur really does fly doesn't it? It looked as if someone had broken a down pillow when our kitty got attacked! What the heck is this about Starrsville? For what she said in that fun house guest thread???? It NEEDED to be said! Someone was out of line and trod insensitively on a few toes in the process but it wasn't Starrsville. That really is a shame if that's the reason. Rant: untrained posters dispensing potentially dangerous medical advice. |
Rave--Had an entertaining time helping out with field day at the middle school this week. The kids were wild!
Rave/Rant--Teaching DD to drive...thankfully she goes very slow...but she is very stingy with the steering wheel...afraid to turn, lol! Scarlett--Done:) Anne Marie--That is hilarious...he waited 4 years to tell?! Ronkala--Happy Anniversary! Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there:) |
Dear Scarlett, thank you for your request for prayers and good thoughts for your friend and ours, even though unnamed. You are a dear friend indeed. Know that she is being prayed for, for her health and strength to be restored. We wish her the very best.
Also, there was a posting yesterday by Kassanna, where a tragic accident resulted in a family member dying and her mother being hospitalized. I'm hoping the family dog has been found so as to give comfort to Kassanna's mother in this time of grief. Happy Father's Day to all you dads! |
Prayers to those in need of healing, and of course to Scarlett's pal.
Rant: DH broke his ankle last weekend, coaching little legue baseball of all things. I have spent all week making sure he stayed home from work a few days, elevated it, iced it, didn't drive, used his crutches, etc. him all week-making him stay home from work, use his crutches. I'll probably be thrown off this board for being so tough on him. Rave: Emergency Room staff and orthopedic MD who saw us at his house on Sunday to do follow-up after ER. Rant/Rave: 1 week til we leave for our beach vacation. We need it, but the beach will be hard for my DH. Good thing there is a pool too. Instead of our usual morning beach walks, I'll get to rollerblade and he can swim. Rave: Looking forward to hosing a big BBQ for my favorite Dads (DH and my own Dad) and lots of friends and family. Local strawberries are just being harvested so it looks like strawberry shortcake for dessert! Happy Friday, Happy Dad's Day. |
rave...and of course, my father. happy fathers day!
|
My prayers and thoughts are with the dear lady Scarlett mentioned.
Prayers for the return of Kassanna's dog. I know that would be good medicine for her mother. Rave:Celebrating the wonderful fathers who made everything seem possible. I can still hear the cheers even though mine has passed away. Tiff, I know you know what I mean! Rant: People who litter. Rave: Beautiful days of summer. Rant: Ban Starrsville? How silly, she is a direct and helpful poster. |
Prayers for all. [-o< Hugs for all. >:D<
What's all this about banning Fodorites? I didn't know you could get banned for telling someone to...hmmm...do I dare say it? I don't want to be banned! :o Rant : My two pups are sick. :( <font color="red">Rave</font> : I'm still alive and have all my mental faculties in tact. :) <font color="green">Rave</font>: It really is Friday today. I woke up yesterday all happy because I thought it was Friday. Went half way through the day on a Friday buzz. Then it dawned to me that it was Thursday. :L Imagine how fast that Friday high came crashing down! <font color="blue"> Rave </font>: <font color="purple">I'd rave if Fodor's got that new chocolate icon! :) </font> |
Rant: Starrsville's banning. How ridiculous.
Rave; Prayers and thoughts Scarlett! Please let her know that we are thinking of her! Rave: Apple is fixing my iPod! Rave: iTunes! Rave: Two weeks until the BVIs! Rant: I think my older kitty is sick. She's lost weight. Rave: Harry Belefonte! I love his music! Rave: It's summer! Rave: My stepdaughters HS graduation Monday! It was bittersweet but wonderful! Rant: Another birthday has come and gone and I still don't have $20M in the bank. Rave: Another birthday has come and gone and I'm happy, healthy, and have a wonderful life! Rave: Boiled Peanuts, local Skrimps, Soft Shell Crab, corn on the cob, watermelon, and fireworks. |
Prayers and good thoughts for Scarlett's friend.
Saraho: Hope the shoulder is feeling better soon. Happy Anniversary Ronkala! Rave: My dad. And my husband, who is also an amazing Dad. Rave: Camping this weekend. And it's supposed to stop raining today -- thank goodness. Rave: The bouquet of peony's on my desk. Rant: So much work to do. A colleague is leaving our firm, and now I have all of her work to do, too. And a little bit of raving about my funny daughter, please feel free to ignore: Rave: She painted her hair red earlier this week. I'm glad it was tempera paint and washed right out, but she looked like she had severe head trauma for a while. And her use of the word "actually" as in, "Actually, Daddy, I don't want to read that book." "Actually, Mommy, I don't need a bath." :) |
Happy belated birthday, GoTravel.

Greetings to all FFR&R'ers ~
Rave ~ All the "done" and "done again" and "done one more time"'s. It made my eyes well up in tears. And so I will follow suit with sending my hope out to your friend Scarlett. One huge "DONE" and a silent wish of peace and light for her. Rant ~ Jorr I could not agree more with your rant. It has bothered me for eons. No one told me I couldn't marry the love of my life and I can't imagine how it would hurt if that was the case. I wish this wasn't such an issue, and I wish that the people of the gay/lesbian community knew that they have so much more support than they realize. Rave ~ I got my fingers crossed that the Canes win the Cup! Rave ~ I am reading an incredible book right now written by an anonymous author, called A Woman In Berlin. It is very, very moving and written in journal form if anyone likes a non-fiction written in that style. Warning, you are immediately 'there' with the author and it can be quite sad at times. With that said to see her strength is truly amazing and quite inspirational. Ethel ~ sweetie I have an idea for you. You and your future DH have to write all of your honeymoon hopefuls on a slip of paper. Stick them in a hat, and pull, then we will help plan the rest! :) When is the big date again? Stealing someone's Rave from last week ~ Air conditioning!!!!!! It is a C-O-O-K-E-R here. I can remember a time long ago, first apartment, no a/c, records breaking temps, yikes! Rave ~ One huge Rave to what cmcfong said... I miss him so much. My father had THE most infectious laugh. It makes me smile now to think of it, and I can still hear him. God he loved to laugh but would have done anything to make those he loved laugh. I still credit him for the laughter we find especially during a difficult time. I miss you Daddy. Happy Father's Day to all. GoT ~ Happy belated sweetie! ((^)) I can't believe with all the cake and potato chip talk this week that my craving self was able to lose a pound and not gain 6, lol! Love to all of you little darlins, have a happy weekend! ((L)) |
Good vibes and prayers to all in need.
Rachel: Hope your DH listens to you. LOL. Saraho: Hope the shoulder gets better soon. Kassanna: I am so sorry about the accident and the loss of your aunt and your mom's injuries. I hope you find Deja. Rave: ronkola for fostoring and for 46 years! Rant: 1 ER vist, 2 DR visits, 2 antibiotics, steroids for one mystery bite on my hand 2 1/2 weeks ago. Rant: Closing 8 miles of the Outer Beach for 4 weeks because of two Piping Plover nests. Rave: A beautiful weather weekend...finally. Rave: It's my birthday tomorrow. Lobster tonight! Or the Outer Beach before they close it. Happy Father's Day to all the dad's here and the dad's we miss. |
Praying for your friend, Scarlett, and that Saraho will heal soon.
Jorr, I hadn't heard about the islands - that's great! Happy belated birthday, GoTravel! Rave: Ds's first year in Little League is done. He was the most improved player on his team,hit a grand slam in his last game, and even has a chance at making the all-star team. Plus he's a good kid. =D> Rant: I'm having a hard time making myself work on wedding details for my daughter and son-in-law. Rave: The details are coming together in spite of myself. :-) Only a month to go! Off to call caterers and florists... Lee Ann |
mms, I know--what is up with that, right?!? There are days I wish DH and I had traditional families, 2 parents each but between the two of us there have been 8 total!
((^)) Happy Birthday, GoT ((^)) kureiff, funny story about your daughter painting her hair! :-) Happy Father's Day to all the dads in Fodorville!! Sadly, mine passed away a few years ago and I miss him every day. ((L)) |
Congratulations, Ronkala and Mrs. Ronkala! 46 years, wow!
Belated happy birthday, GT! My thoughts and prayers for Scarlett's friend and all Fodorites in need right now. Rant: Starrsville's banning. I thought maybe that nonsense had passed after the uproar over Patrick's banning some months ago. Speaking of which...I just realized that I haven't seen a certain name for quite a while. Banned again? Rant: Seconding jorr's second rant. And while I'm at it, a rant for Ann Coulter. As nearly as I can tell, the only cause she really cares about is Ann Coulter. Okay, no more politics. Huge rave: A happy, healthy, energetic husband this Father's Day. Happy Father's Day! And a great weekend to all! |
Rant: allergies
Rant: our 3 generations don't get along, so I can't have a family GTG for father's day Rave: kids coming home for father's day Rave: thank you, AnnMarie! Rave: another beautiful weekend in San Francisco Rave: in an hour I will know how much is my annual payroll increase Rant: inflation will eat it up anyway |
Happy Birthday, Gomiki!

If Starrsville really was banned, then that is completely ridiculous.
First of all, the "shut up" was completely in jest and even so, well deserved. Second, the issue was some posters saying irresponsible things about depression/anxiety medicine. I think it is more important to reprimand the Scientologists on this board, rather than the helpful and well meaning members like Starrsville. Rave: TGIF Rant: Work being too stressful. Rave: Bush finally recognizing that we should be aware of the environment and his move in Hawaii. Hopefully he doesn't lease out any space to Texaco or Shell for oil exploration (lol)! Rant: The cost of homes in my area (Suburban New Orleans) has gone through the roof. UGGGGGH! Rave: Being able to spend Father's Day with my father-in-law, who I look at like a father. |
Tiff; I agree with you completely that Gays and Lesbians have so much more support than they realize.
