Very cool Webmistress! We needed a place to chat about silly, personal things.

Court

I nominate Shannon for moderator position. Shes on here enough and knows whats going on. She would be great! (Shannon, if I am completely off, I apologize! I think you'd be great!)

Court

Actually since it is now possible to get renters insurance in FL I was finally able to put a PC in my house, which is not exactly a fortress in terms of being secure. I can say that cause you don't know where I live (for a while it was hard to get due to our intermittent hurricanse and small tornadoes and lots of flooding) so I could do it. I will do it if I can trash talk the colts, vikings and gator fans during football season, since our sports talk station no longer has any live local shows I won't be able to talk football on the radio this year .

Go Shannon, give them Colts and Viking fans a lesson, just one thing, don't mess with the Browns, it's bad enough that we play like a high school team, though we beat Pittsburgh...

we beat Pittsburg too, but by then it was a small consolation. Less than a month away from Training Camp aka..Camp Coughlin. I can say that because I don't have to do anything but stand in the shade and watch...
Does anybody else here do Fantasy Football???

Hey webmistress, this is a great idea!!!

I'm with Rach, I second the nomination to Shannon and since I can give a flying flock about sports, you can trash whoever you want to and I'll be on the sidelines, going DUH!!!!! LOL!

Hey Anita: It *is* a great idea to have Shannon as moderator (and I give trash talk as good as I get, BTW--grew up in Pittsburgh, still hate the Browns, sorry Saxman) but I can't take credit for it. That was Courtney aka Jazzy Redhead's idea. I'm not jazzy anymore; I'm 40.

Redhead,
I dont think I have ever talked to you before, but from one Redhead to another, hello And I would hardly say you werent jazzy anymore. If you are a rips fan, that qualifies you enough.

Anita,
I havent talked to you in forever! I wanted to let you know that your little marine biologist one a prestigous internship at the college doing very intense dolphin research. In fact, I am heading the acoustic reasearch in the project. pretty good for a freshman, eh?
See ya sweetie!

Courtney

And after all that boasting I spelled 'one' wrong. Sheesh. What goes around comes around.


Court

Sorry Courtney.....I know who you are, just was drinking a glass of Merlot and was not paying as much attention as I should. Am not drinking much anymore due to being on a diet, but a glass or two of wine every now and then can't hurt, right Shannon

I've lost 5 lbs. in a week and a half and feel great! More lbs. to lose, but you have to start somewhere, right?

You go, girl ( Courtney)! That is so great! I hope you can come to the Pacific Northwest and get into our marine biology stuff at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. You'd absolutely love it ( it's the place where Keiko the Killer Whale spent his time before going to Iceland). They since turned his pen into an underwater, glass walled area where you can walk under the ocean, so to speak and watch the underwater wildlife as it happens. I haven't gone to see it yet, but will probably soon, since my little one, Cassie, is heavily into fish and fish tanks, etc. What a cool fish tank, huh?

Love all my redheaded women friends in here, you all are GREAT women!

Anita Bonita

Hey Shannon trash talk to your hearts desire girl, just keep in mind the Jags and Colts are in the same division this year> Which means of course we get to kicks you butts twice a year!!! This is not not a bad idea we do tend to get off the the topic from time to time.

Hey Saxman - are you a dawg too? Are you hometown or displaced?

The Browns - oh the horror! Beats the you know what out of not having football though!

Rob

Courtney..that is soooo cool that you get to do an internship like that as a freshman..
Anita..I never gave up beer or tequila and I lost 40 lbs
Why does this evil little devil standing on one shoulder keep telling me "well, if the jags are really awful the Bucs are only 41/2 hours away" They are my NFC team anyway. I started getting apprehensive last year during training camp so if I start getting edgy while watching camp this year I will be prepared to buy a lot of 6 dollar beers on Sundays. BTW if you are an NFL information junkie the guys at www.draftsharks.com are really funny, as is Fantasy Football Weekly.
I wouldn't base my draft or lineup on their advice ..
speaking of which, i lost one of my fantasy leagues due to it being the guys at our sports talk station who were all blown out during a downsizing budget cut so if there are 7 of you who would like to do a league it is easy to do now because yahoo will do the commissioner work (stats, lineups etc) for free. any takers???
I figure if I run 3 teams (two leagues with friends and one of the national internet leagues) the chances of all my players getting injured become much slimmer.

Webmistress!

Indeed a very cool idea. Offers a place to share other ideas and information. Nicely done. I'm not in the habit of nominating someone for a job that I would not be willing to do myself, however, I support all the "support" given to Shannon West. Never met her, but tell ya what; I sure do like her style. She adds such color to life and character to the written word. Thumbs up

Billy G

I really wouldn't consider myself a "dawg" because I'm not a die-hard fan. I like them, but I don't think I'd paint my face and where it out in public, and I live an hour south of Cleveland in Youngstown(actually Boardman, a town close to Youngstown which is actually a city.)
But it's great having footbal back though.

GO NINERS!

=]

I go for Shannon Too!!!!!!

You go girl!!!

And thanks webmistress!!!!! we needed this!!!


Eril.

my pleasure. I'm glad most of the regulars here have become good friends and enjoy/appreciate what we try and bring you.

Saxman,

Boardman of course - Bernie's home town. Reminds me of the time Bernie played an entire game with a broken ankle...

Rob

Hi Courtney! That was just a little self deprecating humor about not being jazzy anymore since turning 40. Actually I just *rediscovered* Kilamanjaro and found out that, yes, this girl can still dance.

Congratulations on your internship! Very impressive for someone of your tender age. Sounds like you have a very bright future ahead of you. Go for it!

Rachel
(who now enhances her redness every six weeks or so).

Hey Saxman! I will admit to a little secret; even though I grew up in Pittsburgh, I *hate* the Steelers too when they play the Colts.

PS Have you stayed out of trouble in that bandroom with that pesky orchestra teacher??

thanks webmistress for opening the "other interest" door! i'm with the others on nominating shannon. i enjoy her personality, wit, and great tips... gooooo shannon!

hey saxman, hi Billy G. nice to find you here away from home .

chandra
(i just love these smily faces!)

Hey Chandra

You roam as much as I do eh? I try to keep up on what's hot and what's not so I can keep my shows interesting. In addition, when I have a chance to travel , I'd like to be able to meet new faces in different places . There ya go sweetie, lots of smiley faces !! (luv ya) Billy G

Hey Shannon,

I just got a copy of Bona Fide's "Royal Function" yesterday. I say "WOW" . From what I've seen (read), you're really in the know; can you tell me what's up with these guys? I had never heard of them prior to the smooth jazz awards earlier this year. Heard "X Ray Hip". It took 3 months to track down this cd only to find no information on the group, just credits inside. Any info on their history? Anybody?

Billy G

billy..someone else is gonna have to help you out with Bona Fide..they just sounded like more radio friendly groove to me and I like it a little less smooth but somebody else probably can hookUup
jeez, I have to enhance whatever color I want my hair to be about every 3 weeks and no matter what color I put in it ends up red..but thats better than the alternative, which I will not show until I'm 90! Maybe!

Redhead,school's out,thank god.

Rob-My uncles went to school with Bernie,and played little league baseball too.

hey billy g:

i just l-o-v-e the slimmeister!!! slim man and his alter ego, bona fide are from the baltimore, md area, the self-professed "bad boys of smooth jazz" and this year's winners of the prism award for best new artist (group) at the 2nd annual national smooth jazz awards held in chicago on march 3rd. i've got some "bona fide" terrific shots if you'd like to see them

they are super guys... a plethera of fun and worth the price of admission whenever, where ever they perform. they occasionally have free gigs in and around the baltimore/dc area. for more info, check out the website at: http://www.slimman.com.

check out his bio, read reviews, buy cds, get the latest tour info and some of tim's own "nonni's" fab pasta recipes.

move over sly... here's the blazin' hot y2cool stallion

the slimdaddys are definitely all that

*moi

disclaimer: this is not a paid endorsement. i truly love these guys (yeah, baby!)

Rachel,

I wish you would post more! You have a sense of humor that we all need to hear more!

Shannon,

congrats on your new title! It looks great next to your name. All hail to Shannon!

Courtney

Gwenn! I should have known to ask you first. You're always there for me. Thanks for the link and I'm checking it out now.

Shannon; thanks! "Radio friendly groove" eh? Geez, where I live you have a choice of Grand Rapids' oldies, or Lansing's country! I'd like to start a station of my own for the forgotten "funk" lovers like myself. Oh! And the hair thing; I think what nature does over the years only serves to enhance ones' natural beauty! (Ya - right! My wife soaks her head in a vat of dye every month!)

Peace

Billy G

Billy..go to the features section of this site..check out some of the songs radio won't play
I will believe in "natural" when nature co-operates with me. In terms of hair nature quit cooperating when I was about 12 and it went from blonde to mousey ash so I have been coloring it since then. but I will say this..I have never used duct tape under my clothes to prevent any bodypart from looking like it is sagging, that would just flat out itch and hurt.

anytime, billy g

you just missed the slim daddy in indianapolis and detroit june 1st and 2nd. the next opportunity nearest you will be in columbus, ohio august 9th at easton town center and august 11th with david benoit (be still, my heart!) at wendy's corporate center.

or, if you're so inclined, join us on the smooth jazz cruise january 21-26th - slim man and bona fide will be the "house band" on the cruise (continuous bliss)
decompress from the holiday madness ~ enjoy the company of some of the smoothest of cool artists and make new friends.

hope to c u there!

peace

Why thank you Courtney. I like having an off topic forum; I always seem to be "off topic", so I feel right at home here. (especially with sports as I can talk some serious smack, but I'll play nice for awhile...)
