Yes, Philip, I remember that time when Cesar called you that.
I miss him greatly.
I read about your adventure this past weekend.
You should submit it to a magazine.
With some editing, it would be a spectacular article.
Or was it Cesar writing as Big Joe?
In the words of Dorothy, "My, people come and go so quickly around here."
This has got to be the longest Presidential race in history.
Hello, faux Mary.
Starting early, are you?
lol good afternoon banasy. I believe that was when i first started blogging. And the first people to speak to me were you, Philip and Thomasd. I often wonder whatever happened to him. The good ole days i guess you could say. Before the trolls and strife.
Guess my point was just made eh? Why do people ALWAYS wanta cause problems? I just cant see the point but its definitely making my appt look better and better!
Ah, those were the days, indeed, chrissy.
I liked ThomasD tremendously.
I miss him, also.
Good luck at the Doctors, sweetie.
Y'all better look a little close to home, fool. She was talking about someone else, anyway, not you. Think you can keep your sarcasm for one who actually desrves your derision? Even when people are nice to you, you act like a total tool. Grow the hell up, troll. You stink up the blogs with your hatred.
@ kandi and marie, no i dont. And i dont believe ive ever talked to either one of you and dont think i want to now either. @ HIDE BEHIND, you said it lol. Puts a new twist on forever dont it? And yea banasy, im sick of drs frankly. Lol
@ banasy, now WHO are these two? And what do they have to do with me?
@chrissy:
Which two?
kandi and marie. But nevermind i think i know, philip and mary. And all i can say is wow! If thats how you handle compliments philip, you have bigger problems than i could ever imagine.
ThomasD is on fB. He left these blogs b/c of what, do you think. I stayed in touch w/ThomasD this whole time, except for after I stopped using fB a couple of months ago.
He lives in western Washington, and is quite active on fB. He would no-doubt enjoy hearing from you all, especially banasy and chrissy. And just so ya know, neither ThomasD nor myself said anything negative about you gals to each other, ever.
I tried and tried but couldn't get him to come back here and even the man v woman odds a little. he he. Won't you gals give it a try?
:)@ chrissy. I remember our pretend ski trip...ThomasD and I fishing...banasy even broke-out the mulled wine. Those were the days before harmless trolling became harmful username hijacking. It's as if we 4 experienced in short-order what the entire world is going through. (and i hope if your hip gets replaced, it lasts longer than the brakes on your Forf pickup truck. 🙂
And, @banasy. Thx for your kind words about my posing as a homeless person story. For awhile there I thought you were the one there trying to mess-up my story. Sorry about that.
And last I heard, ThomasD lives in *eastern Washington. (i posted 'western' earlier) AND he was still single, btw.
I just now called ThomasD but got his answering machine. I left him a message inviting him to this blog here, saying chrissy and banasy missed him. But Thomas is an old fisherman. He might not go for those lures. 🙂 Hope he gets the message and stops by. (he is Thomas Drennen on fB, dark curly hair, clean-cut beard and stash...if ya'll care to try and friend him fB.
@HIDEBEHIND. Your post is right on the mark. Thank you. You took me back to when Teddy Roosevelt's grandson literally walked into Iran with 3 million dollars cash, bribed a few selct individuals, and poof!..the pro-western Shah was the man Iranians wanted for a new leader.
