poor poor Matty~ here, put your head against my heart. No silly, a bit higher.... Okay, serenity now...

You need to learn to reason with your local p.d. I am never in the police reports btw.
I save up points by calling them as a concerned citizen. Plus, I have two neighbors who have learned to ignore my lead foot when I am within a two mile distance of home and magic blender needs a feeding
Too bad you aren't here. We could sit on the deck and I'd fish out my souvenir ukelele and do my special deck dance for you.
Pretoria, been there?(insert travel topic)...
Oh, my brother-in-law has been in Shanghai for two years with one more left in his contract, so we may go visit there as well. behave, J.

Hey, J! Thanks!!!! quot;>

Love matnikstym's 1 day travel report, but he did do a lot of name dropping!;-) Mgdriver will not be pleased with all of us pretentious, yada yada, Fodorites. 8-)

The birds have truly flown the coop?!? Who besides St. Aug is showing signs of blowing her top? Don't start shaking the ground . . . you know what happened the last time you started that quaking in Alaska, J! C

And most importantly, have you been practicing your mud wrestling? Surely you could have slathered up a few cousins to get in a little practice!

never been to peoria, or anywhere in Illinois for that matter. have you been?

Uh uh, BayouGal~ never wrestle with a woman who willingly paid big bucks for five days of craziness, is large boned and has knuckles the size of grapefruit.
My other cousin is more skinny beach, so I have to love her because what if she has iceworms?
We did paint the town red though.. aye yi yi.. I am more of a multi appetizer and drinks gal, these woman ate like they were starving every meal.
We all resembled hunchback whales after every meal.
We nearly had to hire a crane to lift us out through the ceiling. We tried some berry picking. I brought my oldest sons' t-shirts so we wouldn't ruin clothing. My bigger cousin Tillie wore one that said "Been there, wrecked that", now THAT was funny!
Anyway, it's been a crazy week. I learned to drive class C motorhome.. glad we didn't hit any cannery workers trying to hitch hike.. more later, J.

matty~ my Mr. Man went to Peoria once for some purchasing of big things on giant tires at the Caterpillar facory. Me, nope.
What time is it there you lawbreaking spider petter?

it's 7:07 p.m. I think you've lived 2 hours more than me, sad, when we're starting, all the rest are ending, but at least you didn't have them Korean (is that pc?) aimed at you.

Yes he did. Our local branch was on standby and ready to go.. crazy stuff huh?
I am looking forward to the air show. Now it's a two year event because of the troops overseas and the coast. Last year, they didn't have it and it was missed.
Whatcha doing this weekend?

matty~ it appears that everyone disappeared except the desperate, being you and I,lol.
What can we talk about? hmm, think of something very naughty..

okey dokey, hows about where's your next domestic trip to?
Who is your favorite traveling pal?
Were you in any of your photo albums? well, I'm waiting....

boy it's boring as hell (are we allowed to say hell?) here without an audience...kind of like minnie ripperton singing lovin' you. next domestic trip? Reno Nevada for a convention. Yep, dug out my polyester leisure suit and white shoes, got my Hello! My name is matnikstym nametag, got the plastic flower boutaneer that shoots water and i'm set to go. I'm the dork with the elephant behind him in my first set of pics from Zambia, the one with the hair sticking up, wasn't from fear of the elephant as he'd already seen me nekkid in the shower so we were close friends at that point, but because of the stupid hat someone told me to wear to keep the tsetse flies off, but they preferred my knees, knobby as they may be, but not as bony as my ankles as i swear i have to sleep with a pillow between them or they'd cut into each other, people wonder how i stand up on them things, but most of the time I manage. The second trip, there's no pics of me at all since the friend who went with me couldn't take a picture if you gave him a crayon, so I'm like blurry which is fine if you've partaken in some alcohol and i become focused and i had even a dorkier hat that my travel agent said to wear and he'd give me a discount on the next trip. but hell (are we allowed to say that) i gave it to some Zambian boy and now he's probably being called the dork of Zambia as I was the first 2 days when I wore it.

matsy~ you make me smile, you are such a silly when intoxicated or just being a goofus. Listen dear one, I need to retire for the evening.
This week's outtings were fun but exhausting, and I need to catch up on my deep rem sleep. sweet dreams, J.
