Funnily enough, that's the same song I sang to myself when I lost balance bending over the garbage can to throw something away and fell backwards onto my butt.

This vertigo business so totally sucks!

You beat me to it Ronnie! I was going to post the words to Tommy Roe's song "Dizzy"!
I believe it was #1 for 4 weeks in 1969....when I was 13 years old. It seems like ages
ago--YIKES!--it was!

dizzy: "DIZZY


Dizzy, I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy

First time that I saw you girl
I knew that I just had to make you mine
But it's so hard to talk to you
With fellas hangin' 'round you all the time
I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playin hard to get
Goin' Round in circles all the time

Dizzy, I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy

I finally got to talk to you
And tell you just exactly how I felt
Then I held you close to me and kissed you
And my heart began to melt
Girl, you've got control of me, 'cause I'm so dizzy, I can't see
I need to call a doctor for some help

Dizzy, I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
My head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
You're makin' me dizzy....."

This is a HOOT!

Dear Dogs and Cats:
When I say to move, it means go someplace else -- not switch positions
with each other so there are still two of you in the way.

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The
other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw
print in the middle of my plate or food does not stake a claim for it
becoming your food and dish. Nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in
the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.
Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help,
because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry
about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure
your comfort. Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping. They can actually
curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each
other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that
sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to
maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm.

My compact discs are not miniature Frisbees.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If
by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not
necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the
edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I
entered. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years, canine
attendance is not mandatory.

The proper order is: 1) kiss me, and then 2) go smell the other dog's
butt. I cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for
you.

You're makin' me dizzy.

you know, Le... It's you girl, making it spin

Like a whirlpool it never ends?

I'm so dizzy. My head is spinning.

I wish my CEO were more like Dilberts. http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/dilbert-20040125.html

Hummina, indeed.

LOL wow Ron, you're lookin good.

I've been doing reall well on Atkins I'm down 10 pounds in 3 weeks. I've been working out with some new friends. You prolly will have a hard time recognizing me!. I'm the one with the sunglasses. Ron with his work-out buddies

FRank your weather would be heaven except it snowed 4 inches yesterday here in the valley and with the snow in the
mtns we would flood big time!
Thanks for the ideas Tami. I will have to find those chips. We do need more variety. Good job on loosing weight. You did
awesome!

CAthy and Nettie, hope you feel better.

I'm so so jealous, Frank. I haven't seen above freezing for weeks. I tired of being cold.

Ron & Nettie, glad you guys are doing Atkins. If Ron is dying for potato chips get him a bag of Atkins Crunchers. They're not terrible and are super crunchy. I like BBQ the best. I'm down to 164 now. Last christmas I was 209!!
P.s. if you want some really good low-carb recipes, try lowcarbfriends.com They seem to have a low-carb version of everything! (even pizza. ohhhhh and cheesecake, dozens of varieties! yum)

Frank stinks.

(I miss spring.)

Hope you get feeling better soon, Jeanette.

Having the flu stinks !!!

Been like spring here. mid to upper 50's every day. We are LOVIN it. Even went fishing yesterday afternoon in shirt sleeves. 59 degrees.

WE hear you Geo. I am tired of being a popsicle. Ronnie and I are doing the Atkins diet together. Hopefully we will look
better when it warms up. You are right Tami it isn't a bad diet. Ronnie wants a potato chip thou.

Geo and Frank, how are the hearts doing? Nettie

More snow in the forecast. It hasn't gotten above freezing in weeks. I'm ready for spring.

Ouch, Cathy! That sounds awful. Good luck with the Ortho!

I found out what the results of my MRI were. I have arthritis in the cervical part of my spine.
I have some disc protusion, but it is not in contact with my spinal cord.
So, now I'm being referred to an Orthopedic doctor. Getting old is a blast...NOT!!

My folks are fond of saying, "Real life begins when the kids move out & the dog dies."

or maybe a deongon? (sp)

Is a "latex room" included in the remodel?

The day the last one moves out the remodel starts

We found out the hard way not to buy/rent a house with more bedrooms than absolutely necessary or they won't leave or suddenly remember that you are their parent and move back home.

did you ever try moving and not telling them where you moved to?

I tried changing the locks, propping a chair under the doorknob, even camo'ing the house....but they still get back in.

Keep warm Tami. We locked the kids out once also like Richard. They broke the screen and went thru the window. Kids
are so clever. Nettie

today was the coldest day in over 100 years in New JErsey. It is also the one day Richard locked the garage house door so the kids couldn't get in the house after school. DOH!! (They took apart the cat door and were able to open the sliding patio doors through it.)

Well, he didn't lock the door *so* they couldn't get it. That would have been mean. but they couldn't get in *because* he locked the door. Shows me for leaving for work before him, huh?

Gawd I'm glad its Friday. I get to go tomorrow and help my boss clear out the "former marital residence" . Damn house finally sold. Good thing too, college tuitions are due.

well, you do... you're edjicated.

What you think we don't know any big words?

Cold sucks! I want it to be JUNE!

Leisl--I'm a multi-coloured redhead! I love being a little different with my hair!!

Tell Brian congrats and good luck!

Hey Tami--my family is from Buffalo, I remember the cold and the snow--but,
as a kid it was always fun. (The cold weather you guys are getting is awfully cold--
especially with the wind chills added in. I heard that this is the worst cold weather
in a hundred years up there.) Brrrrrr!!
We've been having a misting/drizzle type rain here. Just enough to slick
up the roads and cause car accidents.

its so cold. I feel like a quiescently frozen treat. (big words that mean "popsicle" )

One of Brian's photos has been accepted into a juried ALL MEDIUM art show in Ogden! The show opens this Friday & will run through the end February. Yay!

I'm a redhead now.

Ronnie IM = ronytodd@hotmail.com

Revamped the Band's website

Happy Birthday, Leisl!

I'm glad he's home now, too. And glad they can treat him medicinally instead of surgically. I hope they can get him "back to normal" real fast.

Now you guys just knock this shit off! No more heart scares! Any of you! OK? Enough already. You're gonna give us all a heart attack if you keep this up.

glad to hear that frank is home. Give him a big hug from me. love you guys

The nurse from my GYN's office called and said that the results were normal
on my mammogram. Whew!
I had a C-Spine MRI on Wednesday night; I should find out soon what causes
my chronic neck and back pains.

I hope Frank's cath goes well today. I'll say a prayer for you.

Frank asked me to let you all know he is going in for his cath today. I told him to have DeeAnna blog tonight and tell us how it went. He said it wouldn't be until late.

I am fmarler@cox.net Just setup msn again last night

I'm still geospud2@hotmail.com

I do. still xenasings@hotmail.com.

yeah, I use it. are you still fmarler@kscable ? you are never online.

Does anyone still use msn messenger?

We don't want to hear about the nice weather you are having Cathy , do we George? Dusty and STacy both had
fender benders this weekend because of snow and ice. CAn't wait for spring!

Your right Cathy...Somethings gotta give was great! And Ron liked but, he thought it was a chick flick also. I owe him
a sci-fi.

Good luck on the mammy whammy test. Nettie

You gals get your boobs squashed...we get....the finger wave. I'd say we're even.

Exactly!

why suffer alone, eh Le?

Crossing my fingers for you, Cath. I'm 2 years away from being the same age as my mom was. *sigh* And I'm due this month for mine as well. Guess I ought to get calling. New doctors/insurance. Ack! I think I'll make Brian an appointment for a full on physical, too, while I'm at it.

Ray and I saw "Somethings gotta give", Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton.
I thought it was so funny! No gratuitous nudity or sex.
The scene at the ER about Nitroglycerin and Viagra is hilarious.
I'm not telling why....

Ray said it was a "chick flick".

(I read that Jack Nicholson decided to do more comedies
after 9/11.)

I had my mammogram on 12/29 and I won't get the results
until I visit my GYN on the 20th of this month. I had the
whole year to get it done, but kept putting it off because
I'm the same age my mother was when she was diagnosed
with breast cancer. I have a 50% chance of getting it....so,
pray that I'm in the other 50% of not getting it.

weatherwise---this week is supposed to be springlike!
We haven't had cold weather yet!

See? Much cheaper. And here all these years people have thought I hate camping when I've just been being frugal.











OK. So I really hate camping. ;-)

George
No RVin for me. I doublechecked the rental rates.for a 23 ft class C 850 for 7 days + cents a mile after 700 miles. and an additional 125 a day after 7 days.
Cjeaper to fly rent a car and hotel it.

Sounds like you are getting what the higher elevations are getting around here. I was up by McCall Wed Thur and Fri
and we had 4 feet and wind drifts. So much that Stacy and I couldn't get out of my dad's cabin up there. We had to
wait to get blowed out. Scary feeling when you can't move around.

Melissa, Cold Mountain was a great movie just like you said. Took my dad and he really enjoyed. He just laughed at
those 3 woman and that sex scene. Thanks for letting me know. Nettie

We've had somewhere between 2 and 3 feet of the sparkly white crap. The wind is the worst of it. Ground blizzards, drifting snow, and icy roads...gotta love Idaho in the winter.

God created man, Samual Colt made them equal.

Snow???? I want some snow!!

George, how much snow do you have now? We received 2 inches over night but, heard you was buried.

Ray ,
What the problem is is that you sound too much like a Bubba so they figure if they take their time they won't hve to do anything because Smith and Wesson will have already done it.

Good picture of you and Ed.My he is looking like a young man! Nettie
