You are my new best friend.

I was Mrs. Claus today from 9 - 2 at the community center, so when I got home and out of my claus suit and into my sweat suit I was ready...

DianaT - 12-8-2007 at 08:05 PM

Hey,

You wanted to go shoe shopping---hit the jackpot, found some great Birkenstock Dress Shoes, and Nena, they are "real" shoes. :yes:



Just think how great they will look with my new dress--the one I am wearing to the Bahia Asuncion Christmas party. :lol::lol::lol:

Diane,

You will look like Cinderella at the party. You only need one of these to make the outfit complete:



I can see it now...

Natalie Ann - 12-8-2007 at 08:24 PM

Nice shoes, Diane... but I'm not a negative heel type of hippie. I prefer my combat boots with 3 inch heels... color, red.:dudette:

I do like that tiara Paulina has offered... if I could borrow that sometime, perhaps I could pretend to be Miss Virtual Berkeley and represent our margarita gatherings throughout the world.:light::biggrin:

Nena

Natalie Ann - 12-8-2007 at 08:26 PM

There's a question been on my mind all day... and Paula, you seem to be just the artsy person to ask, given the table painting and all.

If I mix four and water will it work as wallpaper paste?

You are much too flashy for me---red combat boots?

Paulina, after I wear that tiara, can I loan it to Nena?

Oh, flour and water--boy, oh boy, maybe at the next chat party we can make a relief map of Baja!

No. No way. It has to be five. Five or nothing. And forget the plain water. Use Pacifico, a much better bonding agent.

No Dennis, I think it's Seven. Seven and seven. That seems to have the best plastering effect.

Sometimes having a spell check just doesn't help at all.:no:
But Diane understood me.:lol:

So if I've got this right... I get plastered with the 7 and 7, and then I can stick my wallpaper to my desktop and it will stay there? :?:

Think I'm waiting for Paula's sage advice on this.:yes:

Paula - 12-8-2007 at 09:44 PM

Diane, thanks for the shopping trip! I love the shoes, and I'm going to Telas Cindy first thing monday for pink chiffon, cuz the dress is dreamy!

Nena, If you are papering real walls I think you need to buy special wallpaper paste. It has more adhesive than the flour and water, and it's no fun when the paper curls off the wall. But if you are just doing wallpaper on your computer screen, the flour and water will do the trick.

If Paulina brings the 7 and 7 I'll come help hang. Diane should come too, and if she's wearing the tiara she doesn't have to do any work.

Hey, Judy, you out there somewhere? We're havin' a party!

As long as you don't paint at night, cause the cows might come out.

Natalie Ann - 12-8-2007 at 10:46 PM

My favorite tv show was Winky Dink & You. My mom let me get the cool kit by ordering from a cereal box or something... it had a large green plastic to go over your tv screen, special crayons with which to write on the plastic, and a cloth to erase once you'd helped Winky escape some disaster or solve a puzzle by connecting the dots. Truly mesmerizing, it was.

Natalie Ann - 12-8-2007 at 10:48 PM

Paulina... I'm from Illinois farm country and I know all about cows. If they come out in the night, we sneak up on them and tip them over. 'Tis said they can't get up - really!:lol:

I GOT IN SO MUCH TROUBLE for that show! Winky Dink and me, winky dink and you, we can have so much fun together....
I didn't know that crayola crayons didn't quite fill the bill...until my mom enlightened me. How much did it cost back then to order the special t.v. screen cover and magic crayons?

Ok, how about Hobo Kelly? You must have been one of her fans too.

P<*)))><

Paula - 12-8-2007 at 10:54 PM

NENA!!! I had a Winky dink set too! It took forever to come in the mail, and it was soooooo great when it finally did. AND I'm from Ilinois, but no cows to tip in greater Chicagoland.

Keri, bring your paints and come on down!

I wonder if she is still alive?

P<*)))><

Paulina - 12-8-2007 at 11:00 PM

I remember having a fight with my mom, Winky Dink was falling from an airplane and we were supposed to draw a parachute for him.....I didn't have the special crayons or tv screen cover so I wanted to help him out with my own crayolas... he was going to die, I just knew it!

Captain Kangaroo or Mr. Magoo might have been of some help but Noooo.

Paulina - 12-8-2007 at 11:02 PM

Ouch, don't you just hate that!?

Natalie Ann - 12-8-2007 at 11:04 PM

I don't think the Winky Dink screen set cost anything, else my mom would never have allowed me to have it. Remember those were the days when several cereal boxtops could get ya something cool. (You could save Betty Crocker boxtops and get yourself a free butter knife.) Mom got Green Stamps with the groceries, and one could trade those stamps for most anything in the whole world.

In my home town there was a church on a corner, with a big sign hung from the steeple - sign the shape of a cross. Vertical bar said "Jesus", horizontal bar said "Saves". One of the locals crept up in the night and hung a large handmade sign underneath. Next morning it read...
Jesus Saves Green Stamps - how do you think he got this sign.

Yes, I am embarrased about my fashion sense. That is why I have a sock problem. What should one wear when hanging out with Presidents? I should have written to Emily Post.
We did have a nice 4 hr. visit that ended with chocolate chip cookies and milk...I was invited again, but declined because I thought I was too fat for any further photos. What vanity will do to you.

About Geraldo, enough said about your first impression. I'm sure it will carry on. I taught his son.

"Is it impolite to let a thread stray from its original topic" We must stay on the Hijacked theory..."To me, it seems more rude if you start a conversation with another board member", like painting the bottom of a Christmas bunny to look like a pair of berkinstocks...a "thread about something that is interesting"
"what foot fungus medication""Control your trigger finger there, Pompano!!"lol::lol:"You were THAT roommate of mine in college" Jesus Christ is dead. "That to me is hijacking of the worst sort" not...Oh btw Paula, my wallpaper just fell off my screen again. sorta like "Jesus statue that just seems to naturally morph" into "That is why I have a sock problem"

Paulina - 12-9-2007 at 12:23 AM

I think they were called Blue Chip Stamps where I came from. There was a big store where we could go with our moms with paper books filled with the stamps. We could walk the isles to see what we could "buy" with our stamps. Kind of like the Brady Bunch kids, when they wanted the sewing machine.

I once chose a neon green plush wind up musical pig, a set of French glass dishes and a Jr. baking set. If my mom did a good job in her bowling league she could win more blue chip stamps to add to the drawer in the kitchen that was dedicated to the bounty.

I remember the machine that hung over the register at the grocery check out. If I could just get that lady to push out just one more streamer of stamps......

And it is a conspiracy. Do you think Ronny ever dreamed about what he could buy with his stamps?

I "purchased" a lot of goods back in the late 50s with those S & H Green Stamps. My Grandmother owned a large boarding house and accumulated a LOT of those stamps all of which she gave to me.

The Blue Chip stamps were created by a group of the Largest Grocers as an in-house competitor to S & H. The idea was to drive Green Stamps out of business and then, later, discontinue the Blue Chip. They, however, became so popular that they were still around years after S & H disappeared. When I was living out in Indio in the 70s, they were still around.

Speaking of Sheriff John, Engineer Bill and the like, last night on KCET's Pledge-Drive programming, they were airing the late Bill Story's "More Things that aren't here anymore". A followup to his previous "Things that aren't here anymore". The final part of the episode showed a number of the old L.A. TV personalities like Spade Cooley, Sheriff John, Engineer Bill, Joe Pyne, Clete Roberts. He didn't mention Tom Duggan, though, who I watched with more interest than Joe Pyne (he was OK, too).

Spade Cooley (The King of Western Swing in his time) was OUR equivalent to OJ Simpson. He was so loved that everybody (except the jury) forgave him for beating his wife to death in a drunken rage. Everybody I knew figured she deserved it and it was a shame to take him off of TV and send him off to prison.

Remember this guy anyone. I had a little almost worn out transistor radio found in the trash when I was a kid in Baja I would listen to Wolf Man Jack when I could get a nine volt battery. I remember the announcer would call out XE** Tijuana Baja California Mexico or something like that.

Wolfman

MrBillM - 12-9-2007 at 11:30 AM

Wolfman Jack was a Big-Time DJ back in L.A. for years on KRLA or KFWB (maybe both).

Many, many years later having heard nothing of him, I was surprised to be driving in Baja and pick him up on the TJ station.

You can't keep a good Wolf down.

When I was a kid it KGO? Del Rio Texas broadcasting just over the border, with 50,000 watts...Maybe it 100,000 watts:?:

bajaguy - 12-9-2007 at 11:38 AM

In the early 60's, Wolfman was at 50k watt XERB from TJ. I think the actual location was about KM 24/25 on the toll road

Either or both current parents were not married to one another when the girls were born?

OK Al, let's just see why I posted "Jesus is dead".

First of all this entire thread was in response to certain people hijacking my "Jesus in Baja" thread.

Go back and read it. Then think about why I posted "Jesus is dead".

It ain't rocket science but you must pay attention.:rolleyes:


If my post was about God and you changed it to candy canes then I would have posted "God is dead" on this stupid thread.


Do you get it now???

Twins

MrBillM - 12-9-2007 at 01:14 PM

Were they Polish ?

Speaking of which, is it possible for a Polish person to be unpolished ?

This reminds me of an event that happened recently on the streets of Mulege:

On my way shopping to the 5 different stores one has to visit to get ALL the items on your list.....I ran into two women.

Well...they looked exactly alike, so I asked if they were twins. They said no, but they had the same mother and father...and they were born on the same day in the same year.

When I asked how that was possible, they just laughed and walked away.

Were they putting me on?

Nope....I found out they were telling the truth.

How was that possible? ... a mystery, indeed...or ?

p.s. This is a quiz question! There is a correct answer. Can you guess what it is?


They were adopted!

Not sure, but this may have been the father of the 2.
