You might as well "reach out" for those "little blue pills" too Cher. I've heard they can be just as fun for the "girls"..... Heard... I said....heard....

Okay all you pill popping junkies...what color pill do I take so I at least THINK I'm getting a little more done in the evening than getting caught up on all the posts between Facebook and our class site! I'm an addict; might as well mix it up a little :-)

By the way, if you have a Facebook account, let us know. I found Cheryl and Kit.

Faith,

The pill you're talking about is orange and is called the 'Happy Pill' in our house, because when it kicks in, nothing can take the smile off my face... hence "happy" pill.

Dog puked on the new bedspread? Take a Happy Pill. Toilet paper stuck to your heel? Take a Happy Pill. Replaced at work by a 25 year old? Take a Happy Pill. Daughters pregnant with illegal aliens baby? Take a Happy Pill. Shart in church? Take a Happy Pill. Husband replaces you with a 25 year old? Light his BMW on fire and THEN take a Happy Pill. Turn your frown upside down, with a little help from the Happy Pill! Why, I can't get through a day without it!

So here I am, not home more than 15 minutes and I'm back on my favorite two sites. I read your post Suellen and I'm am seriously cracking up! Next time our dog pukes on the floor I'm going to tell my husband, "Time for my Happy Pill; you clean up the mess :-)" And, I wish I would have known about the Happy Pill when my daughter ended up with an illegal alien's baby! Of course, my Granddaughter is beautiful and a blessing and I haven't had to see the alien since my daughter got pregnant so I did make it through that one okay...just a lot of broken dishes as I took my frustrations out in my kitchen :-) I was smart when it came to my 1st husband - I dumped him before he could run off with his 25 year old and didn't feel sorry for him at all when she dumped him a short time later. That was much better than lighting his BMW on fire; wouldn't have turned down the Happy Pill though!

You are all insane...I too am an addict..I can't wait to get home every night and see what new posts there are. Are we really that old that we have nothing else to look forward too? LOL Life through chemicals is a great thing.. Suzie you really should be a stand up comedian, you are hilarious.....

Bev - It's nice to see you out here! I'm thinking we should keep the site of our reunion Top Secret. If we don't, surely the white coats will show up to take us all away :-)

Wendy started out by asking about music some of these post remind me of songs Bev the age question "The Answer My Friend Is Blowing In The Wind'. Faith "There Coming To Take Us Away" As you know I always try to stay with th program. Dang this is 2 much fun

01/21/09 06:14 PM #117    

Beverly Finney (Geist)

I agree Faith...We are a unique bunch of people, no one would understand. What do you mean Tom, "Blowing in the Wind". That could be taken a few different ways.. LOL I am having a blast. Do you think we can keep this up till August?

01/21/09 07:04 PM #118    

 

Jim Lanier

Silly Bev-- guys always think they can keep it up 'til August!! And Tom says he has some pills that might make it true...

Continuing the music memories -- "House of the Rising Sun," "Stairway to Heaven," anything by the Eagles or America...

How about starting a new topic? What is the most unusual job you've had? I'll start. I delivered singing telegrams. (This was not my main source of support, it was just for extra spending money, but I did make a chunk of change.)

01/21/09 10:05 PM #120    

Suellen Etzcorn (Foster)

Soooo, Tracy, were you naked when you were singing these telegrams? I only ask because you said you made a "chunk of change" and I don't remember seeing you in the Niles High School choir, or better yet, the coveted Counterparts? Didn't know you could sing... but you really wouldn't have to if you were naked, ya following me?

The weirdest job I ever had was being an 'Old Grand Dad' girl in a liquor store at Christmas time in Dallas, TX. I wore the shortest, and most tight skirt I owned, stiletto heels, and a padded bra that added about three boob sizes to my less-than-ample-chest. I figured I might as well give the old boys a little thrill if they were willing to purchase a bottle of bourbon from me. Needless to say, I sold every bottle in a couple of hours, a true testiment to my flirting abilities! If only they could have heard what I was saying in my head... "You've got the skinniest, purple lips I've ever seen and I'd kiss a bulls ass before I'd ever exchange spit with you!" But of course on the outside, "Hey, you hot little buscuit! Ya-wanna get lucky with your woman tonight? Surely you have a woman in your life, that's just waiting for you to ring her bells! I don't know what it is about Old Grand Dad, but it makes women horny! Why don't you take a bottle home tonight and see for yourself, you Big-Man, you!"

Bing-boom-bang... the bottles went flying off the shelves! Men are SO predictable! The owner wanted me to come back again, but it all kinda creeped me out, and I felt like a hooker when I got home!

Beverly Finney (Geist)

I agree. I don't remember Tracy in choir or the Coveted "Counterpoints". Sorry Suz,,had to make a slight correction. We were the bomb. We thought we were all that and a bag of chips as they say.. LOL Now my husband is the director of an award winning showchoir and they make us look like "sh**". I never had any weird jobs.

Tom Bonner

Tracy good idea. the strangest job I had was down in Dallas at liquor store I was paid to buy all the old Grand Dad from this crazy chick, oh my you should have scene how she was dressed and the size of her, I didn't make much money but i got to drink and dress in many funny outfits.

01/21/09 11:44 PM #123    

Suellen Etzcorn (Foster)

Tom...you ARE a crazy chick!! I'll bet you had lots of outfits!

Tom Houseman

Sue - Let's see - you added three chest sizes - that must have made you a 32B. Nice catch Bev, on Counterpoints/parts.

Tom Grathwohl

Soooo proud of you Thomas - I knew you could do it;)

Okay - so picking up on the new theme of crazy jobs - My brother in law talked Margie and I into working @ Dallas Cowboy home football games for "suite security". It meant we were glorified ticket takers on folks who had access to the suites. Our main priority was making sure folks did not bring in or leave with alcohol. If they tried to leave with booze, and we caught them, we made them return to the suite or leave the booze, then we'd take it home with us. I got fired once because I didn't let some lady in with her drink - turns out she as Jerry Jones' daughter and I made her late for a pre-game TV interview. And no - I never ran into some bald headed dude trying to sneak in with Old Grand Dad or some dame in a padded bra trying to sell some as folks went in!

Sue --

Naked, hmmm? Maybe I should have tried that -- might've made more money. But probably not -- the message-receivers might've wanted ME to pay THEM!

Y'all are right -- I didn't really sing until after college, with the exception of 8th grade choir, which I seem to recall I was talked into by Kristen Howe and a few others (they got me to give up Study Hall). Does anyone else remember the "Sing Out" music (Up With People) that we did? Well, a couple of years ago I found an LP of it in a used record store! (Not us, the Up With People gang.) Anyway, it also included some numbers by a group of female folk singers, including a very young Glenn Close!

Does anyone have the record we made in highschool? I think I lost mine in my first marriage. He took all the albums and I think it was in there. Would love to get a copy of it? I know you can have those put on CD's now? Just curious..I keep telling my current husband Ric (who is a choral director) how good we were. I just want to gloat a little.. LOL

Tracy Reed

Bev --

Are you talking about the Christmas album? I have a copy of it. If no one else can respond more quickly, I will try to find someplace that can make a CD.

Thanks, Sue, for helping in my research. I'm doing graduate studies in my "Understanding Women" major, AS IF! I seem to remember this marketing ploy first in a dog biscuit commercial, where the older, wiser dog is coaxing the young puppy into doing "a little winkie, a little wiggly wag..." But I never had insight into the little puppy's thoughts.
I think I can sum up my dissertation under the title, "Men are suckers for cheesecake!"

Tom Houseman

Jim - don't you mean men are suckers for "fluff" - because that has to be what Sue was showing in Dallas
