Sunshinemiss | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 12:50 am     Thanks for all the kind words, this Father's Day was very bittersweet for me. Every trip to the store being inundated with reminders of the day, and commercials on TV...thinking that I had no Dad here anymore. I tried not to make it all about me (just feeling sorry for myself) I "talked" a lot to my Dad to try to feel connected, and it helped a bit. Hugged my precious little boy a lot and that helped too. I wish I had thought to check in here. The thoughtfulness and consideration of our wonderful group here is amazing. Bless you all. Oops, wayyyy off thread. Sorry! but I felt compelled to respond. |
Pamy | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 06:12 pm     I am glad you did Sunshine, I thought of you on Sunday and sent you some thinking of you vibes! Hang in there, it does get easier

Hootyhoot | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 06:02 pm     Years ago, I went on a canoeing/birding/etc. trip with a large group. Two other women and I shared a cabin in the woods, none of us serious birders. One morning, we were surprised and delighted to hear an owl in the woods right outside our cabin. At breakfast with the whole tour group, we made a big deal out of the owl that we had heard. We didn't notice that some of our neighbors at breakfast, four men who were staying in a cabin close to ours) were having a hard time keeping their poker faces! It turned out they had fooled us ... they were up at dawn and being inspired to make a little mischief, they fooled us with their owl imitation. To get even with them, we arose even earlier the next day, and went and stood beneath their cabin's windows, and hollered as loud as we could "Hooty Hoot, Hooty Hoot!" Of course we were laughing between every hoot. (Maybe you had to be there?) Anyways, ever since, the phrase HootyHoot just makes me smile. |
Seamonkey | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 06:09 pm     Sunshine.. I know what you mean about those holidays.. My dad's birthday was June 2, and he died in early June and of course father's day is in June.. June was pretty hard for several years, to say the least. Eventually it gets to be a day to remember the good stuff. |
Pamy | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 06:46 pm     I agree Sea, my Mom died in June 97, but every year gets easier and you find that you are not crying as much but smiling remembering the love and great times Hooty hoot...speaking of my mom, she and my cousin called me the little hootyhoot cuz when I was little and they would sit around gossiping about everyone in town, all I keep saying was who? who? who? so they started calling me the little hootyhoot!!!! and havent thought of that in a few years, so thanks for the smiles today!!!

Geogirl | Sunday, June 30, 2002 - 06:36 am     Sunshine, my heart goes out to you also. My mom just passed away in Feb. and then we had Mothers Day and her birthday in May, so I totally understand! I had a really hard time in that month. So, I also send out big hugs to you!!! (((((sunshinemiss)))))) Now, on a lighter note, my name is really simple. I drive a GEO METRO. nuf said. |
Sunshinemiss | Sunday, June 30, 2002 - 11:39 am     Thanks so much Pamy, Sea, and Geo. I'm looking forward to the day when the memories bring more good feelings than tears. Not there yet though. Hooty, cute story.I bet our "Theowl" loves your screen name |
Theowl | Sunday, June 30, 2002 - 11:56 am     Sunshinemiss, I loved Hootys story, too, and told her this morning that I loved her name in the BB countdown thread. HOOO HOOOO!!!!  |
Hootyhoot | Sunday, June 30, 2002 - 04:16 pm     I had to laugh when I went back and read all the earlier posts in this thread ... perhaps I should be applying to join the Hooters? TheOwl, you're the organizer, right? |
Theowl | Sunday, June 30, 2002 - 04:50 pm     "The Udderly Bare Hooters Club" HOOO HOOOO!!!! You're in HootyHoot!! Did you go back to Mar. 28 at 2:28 PM post to see how the club was formed? The only members so far are Me, Kep421, Teddybear and Teatime, and Grooch. Haven't done anything, just have a cool club name. Scared the Mens club, though!!  |
Bernie | Monday, July 01, 2002 - 02:49 am     What a great thread! Dull as my username is, I'll explain that it's a shortened version of my second name, Bernadette, because my first name, Ruth, was taken, and so was Bernadette, when I registered, and I panicked and couldn't think of anything else, but, I used to be called Woofie, eons ago, from my local British dialect pronunciation of Ruthie, which I was at the time - little Ruth, that is, so maybe I should have used that, because I do keep on yapping ;-D (That's stream of conciousness for you, boring as heck!) |
Delilah | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 08:31 pm     I am Tom Jones Delilah (As opposed to Samson's! ) |
Weinermr | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 06:26 pm     Hi Bernie! Great to see you! WB |
Bernie | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 02:48 pm     Hiya Mr Weiner :-) It's taken me days to find my way back to this area, this site is a maze! I couldn't recall where I'd posted, and found a lot of my old bookmarks no longer worked, but hey, it's great to be back :-) Now, if my trail of breadcrumbs doesn't get eaten, I'll be okay...... ;-) |
Wapland | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 02:49 pm     Hi well mine is particularly boring, but I have had many the laughs in chat about the correct pronounciation. Wap.....part of my hubby's lastname and Land....part of my lastname. Wapland however, is CORRECTLY pronouced wopland not as others would say it as it looks. Too funny...loved this thread btw. You are a creative group |
Sadlady12 | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 07:36 pm     Well, hello everyone!! No, I'm not really sad!! S.A.D. is my hubby's initials and I'm his Lady so hence the name. It could be worse though I guess I could be Madmom since my son's initials are M.A.D.!!! |
Kaili | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 07:13 pm     *Bump* for new members! |
Retired | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 07:30 pm     What does "bump" mean? (I'm a newbie) My screen name...well after teaching for 30+ years I recently retired so that's where it came from. I love it BTW. Wouldn't have time for this site otherwise! |
Kaili | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 07:31 pm     Just to move the thread up to the top of the list so people can see it and remember it. Otherwise all these threads get way down low on the list and become very neglected. |
Moondance | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 07:32 pm     Welcome Retired! Bump is just what we do when the thread is heading to the bottom of the list to bring it up so more can add to it |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 07:36 pm     Just little ole me, here all the time. Check out the brand spankin' new photo in my profile! I'm so happy I got this accomplished! (it was for a Photoshop class, so both work and play. Oh yea I'm so happy it worked!) |
Kaili | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 07:43 pm     Wow- Oregon! That looks pretty cool! I love photoshop- you can do so many funny things to pictures. You should see some of the pictures I've created of various celebrities, politicians, etc! That's what we should do! Distort Josh- inflate his head a bit more! I should reinstall photoshop on my computer (I restored when I upgraded to XP and never bothered putting most of my software back on!). |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 07:50 pm     Thanks--it pretty huge though. I had no idea it would be so big! I'm at the Mac lab on campus; they have everything on these computers. I wonder what other damage we could devise in the BB3 threads as I master my craft...hee hee... I've got computer graphics classes all summer... |
Retired | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:19 pm     Thanks, Kaili & Moondance for the explanation. |
Earthkitten | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:47 pm     Hey Oregonfire! I'm glad someone else has a Mac. I feel lonely sometimes! My username comes from a horse I saw on the racing form at Tampa Bay Downs! I thought it was cool. Fit me too! Love the earth & the kitties!  |
