YAY, STELLA!size>color>
{{gwi:1269946}}
FEEL BETTER SOON!size>color>

Hi Shelly! Stella is pure maine coon, right down to those fuzzy tufts of hair behind her ears! LOL! Maine coons can be pretty talkative too. Bump, who sometimes I refer to as His Majesty, (and I can't believe he's about to celebrate his 2nd birthday in a few months!) is another maine coon. Stella is my 3rd of that breed, and I'm addicted to them. I wouldn't even consider getting another breed. Bump is quite the caregiver, babysitting anyone who is sick or feeling bad. This morning I caught him hissing at Stella because she was jumping around a bit, and totally not listening when he was telling her to settle down! When she calmed down and started taking it easy, he quieted down too. I guess he doesn't want her to harm herself so soon after her surgery.
At the moment they are both looking out the office window, enjoying the fresh air and listening to the birds. I'd take a picture and share it with you all, but Stella has given me strict orders to NOT take any pictures until her fur has had a chance to grow back out. Well, all I can say is, Her Highness has spoken.

Everyone have a great day!
-Dan

aren't we supposed to be getting partners soon???

Awwww...Maine Coons are so pretty, and big! They were a breed I had considered getting, but I now feel the same way about Siamese that you do about the Maine Coons! LOL! Glad to hear she is getting her rest! Give her a special treat from Sipsong, my polydactyl Siamese.

I can't wait for partners! I am sooo ready!

Shelly

Just popping in quick to say "hi everyone"!
Dan, great news about Stella. They are our babies aren't they? I swear that one of mine can say "No" when he's mad or doesn't like something and "Mama" sometimes when he wants to be picked up or snuggled, am I crazy? ;-) My husband thinks it's just a coincidence.

Hope you all have a great day.
Amy

Oh, by the way...Kathy, I got your email and responded. I haven't heard back so I'm wondering if my email went into your spam folder. I will follow up with another email. I hope you are feeling better today!

Got 5 more days until partners, guys. You can wait that long, you're big kids now. :O)

While you're waiting, Dan....you could do something constructive. Like getting out that bat, and beating the bushes for lurkers & peeping toms! LOL
I know Wendy is hiding out back there somewhere....but I'm not quite sure which category she falls into.....
Hmmm.

Sorry Amy, just responded to the second email. I've been having a bad few days. But the surgery is Tuesday... lol, Dan you can tease me now for having to wait til Tuesday.

Tomorrow I'm going to go and get the rest of the pre-op tests done and make sure my pre-admission is complete. Then hopefully be feeling well enough to enjoy a kid free weekend as Tiffy and the boys go to the lake house with Cliff's parents and be able to enjoy our first wedding anniversary on Sunday.

Everyone have a great day, I'm going to go lie back down.

Kathy

hmmm, somehow having permission to tease someone just takes all the fun out of it...

Oh okay! I've 'lurked' long enough! Sign me up, Melissa! lol

Kathy, I hope your pain eases a bit!

Dan, I'm glad Stella is home, and the both of you are enjoying some 'quiet' time!

I don't have much time to visit, so..
Have a great day everyone!

Karen

Yay, We've got Karen! :O)

BRB with a game!

GAME TIME!size>color>

I have several popular songs as ring tones on my cell, including (but not limited to!) one for hubby, one for a close friend, and one for my parents.

NAME THE SONG/TUNE FOR EACH PERSON.COLOR>

Since this is a 3 part question, I will give a prize for each correct answer. Meaning: 3 people will have the chance to win.

I will give clues along the way.
Good luck! :O)

Is the one for hubby: "Where oh where has my little dog gone?"

Ok, so I keep coming back here to read the posts and going back and forth about joining. My son is getting married June 13th and I wasn't sure if I would have the time. I am ready to take the plunge and join in. I just can't procratinate getting the plants in the mail so will give myself a deadline of getting the package in the mail by June 5th and no later.

Soooo, count me in.
Thanks, Margo

I'm thinking the one for hubby is either "I got you babe" or "The Wanderer"

The tone for her friend is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun".

Welcome, Margo!

Mark...not even close. LOL

Dan, you're on the right track with the "oldies" (except for the wanderer...that's WAY off base, and I'd have to ring his neck if it was accurate...)...but TOTALLY off on the friend song.

Here's some clues:
Hubby= oldies
Friend= sappy/inspirational
Parents= popular TV show

for the friend..'wind beneath my wings"
parents..the theme from everyone loves raymond
husband..Unchained Melody

Ok...here are my guesses:

Parents - Theme from "Cheers" or "Addams Family" Friend - "You've Got A Friend" by James Taylor Husband - "At Last" by Etta James How many guesses do we get??

Shelly

Here are my guesses!

~Hubby: When a Man Loves a Woman
~Friend: Graduation (Friends Forever)
~Parents: Friends theme song: I'll be There For You

This is a tough one!! As soon as gave hints, I thought of 'Wind Beneath My Wings' but was already too late in posting! We think alike Linda!

Keep guessing until someone gets it, Shelly!

BTW: No one is close on the friend song, but someone is thinking along the right lines with the parent's song.

Here's more clues:

Hubby= oldie/not sappy
Friend= inspirational/country
Parents= TV show/family

Okay, here's my second try...
parents... theme from "all in the family"
friend... I Got Friends In Low Places
husband... hmmm, I'm gonna go with "Come On, Get Happy" by the Partridge Family

LOL! This is fun!

Heres some more guesses!

Hubby: Leader of the Pack
Friend: I Hope You Dance
Parents: The Beverly Hillbillys Theme

Uhh...Dan? Just what kind of inspiration do you get from YOUR friends, huh? ROFL!

And anyway....

KAREN GOT IT!size>
I have "I hope you dance" as a ringtone for my friend, Diane. It's one of my favorite songs. :O)
So Karen wins the prize for THAT part of the game.
Way to go, Karen!

Still need the answers for Hubby's and my parent's ringtones, though!
Ya'll are dancing around them, for sure! LOL

OK...trying again! LOL!

Parents: "Love and Marriage" from Married With Children

Friend: "Ordinary Angels" - Craig Morgan

DH: "All Shook Up" - Elvis

This is fun!

OK...trying again! LOL!

Parents: "Love and Marriage" from Married With Children

My computer is having issues with GW today, apparently. Sorry about the double posts.

Congrats Karen!

Shelly

Hi everyone a quick hello and I'll take a guess while I have stopped in..

Husband-when a man loves a woman
Parents- green acres theme

Yay!! :) I got one right! I really like that song, too. I think a year after 9-11, there was a special on tv for the children who lost parents and they played that song, and it was such a tear-jerker.

I'll let the others try for a prize!

Have a great day!
:) Karen

hmmm, would the parents' ringtone be the theme from the Cosby show? or isn't that old enough?

or, could it be the theme from "The Waltons"?

friends in low places was the only country song I could think of. remember, I'm more into the likes of Marily Manson than Faith Hill...lol!!!

My baby brother is a dead ringer for Marilyn Manson.... *shudder* ....
Kinda creepy.

And.....It's not quite as old as the Cosby show.

More Hints:

Hubby= oldie/not sappy/love
Parents= TV show/family/dysfunctional

hello my guess for parents=married with children

sorry I see that one was already picked. how about the theme song to all in the family for parents

Hubby: Old/ not sappy/ Love: how about You've Got That Loving Feeling

Closer, Mark...but not quite there.

Hints:

Hubby= oldie/not sappy/love/not a traditional "couple" song
Parents= TV show/family/dysfunctional/still on the air

okay, the parents song has got to be the theme song from The Simpsons! If not, I give up! LOL!!!

I'm still going to keep looking at all the guesses though!

Morning all. Wasn't about yesterday, was finishing the pre-op tests, getting things together for the kids to go to the lake with MIL and we had to go shopping- ya know how it is, suddenly the kids have no socks that can be found, Vince needed a new pair of shoes because his feet had suddenly grown 3 sizes overnight, apparently.

On the songs, I was going to make the same guess that Dan just did on the parent's ringtone, so I'll have to give those some more thought...

Wondering just what I'm going to do with a kidfree weekend... wow, it's been a VERY long time since I've had one of those!

Have a great day all!

Kathy

Hmmm....

Parents: Family Guy theme song???

DH: Wild Thing

Shelly

Kid-free? What's THAT, Kathy?! LOL!

DAN GOT IT!size>
The ringtone for my parents is the theme from The Simpsons. Yeah, we were that dysfunctional when I was growing up. It's better now...but like I said...my baby brother impersonates Marilyn Manson.
Everyone deals with stuff in their own way, I suppose...

Congrats, Dan!color>

Still looking for the ringtone for Hubby.

CLUE: Shelly was super close once. :O)

Melissa,

I know, no kids is a completely foreign concept! I have no clue what we're going to do with all of the quiet, clean and purely adult time!

Congrats to Karen and Dan!!

I have no clue what DH's tone might be... Perhaps "My Way' by Elvis? Or WAIT! "Teddy Bear" by Elvis!

Kathy

Ok...2 guesses on DH:

Are you lonesome tonight?

Unforgettable

Off to field day!

Shelly

YAY!!!! I got one!!! That is sooo cool!

Now, I'm not going to try to win in the husband category, but I am wondering if it's "I just called to say I love you". If that's it, then send the prize to Kathy. She was the first person to say anything after this swap was posted. Does that sound okay?

And now, I'm off to the weekend!!!

EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE, SANE, HAPPY HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!

-Dan & Co.

Kathy's gettin' closer! CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE!!!

Close huh? "All Shook Up" by Elvis

Kathy

LOL! I can't help but grin here... theme for DH: love song, related to wild thing, Elvis! I can only get the image from Grease in my mind when the boys dropped their pants to the tune of

BLUE MOON!

HUNKA HUNKA BURNING LOVE!
...I've got nothing
lol

YAY! HEATHER GOT IT!!size>

Hubby is indeed my hunk of burning love! LOL
Or is that TMI??

Heather & Karen- ya'll will need to email me with your addy's, so I can get your prizes out to you!
Unless Dan has moved in the past few weeks, I have his. :O)

Oh, And Mark? The only time I've seen hubby's moon be blue is when we went skinny dipping in 50 degree weather.

Or maybe THATcolor> is TMI??
ROFL!

WHAT
I don't believe it I pulled it out of my you know what. LOL
I knew it wasn't "In the Ghetto". That's the only other Elvis song I could think of. I was trying to play the TV show song game. I'm so happy!!

Melissa, you've got mail!

Karen

Hey everyone,
I know I'm late (looks like yall have been having fun), can I still get in this one? I just can't resist.... Nik

here I sit at the computer, two cats fast asleep nearby. the window is open, and a light breeze is coming in. I can hear a squirrel talking from a few trees away, and occasionally some birdsong too. as the dawn breaks, it's revealing the white and purple lilacs outside the window. the white lilac is in full bloom, and the purple one is about half-way there. clouds cover the sky, threatening to rain today. everything smells so fresh and green outside, actually more invigorating than the fudge-flavored coffee I'm drinking.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, a Springtime Saturday morning, full of promise! what will the day bring??? I don't know yet, but this moment was worth being woken up at 4:45am by Stella. just thought I'd share it with you all...
-Dan

Of course, Nikki! Glad to have you!! :O)
