Pilgrim,
You're absolutely right!!
I stand corrected. I guess I am just used to the French Canadian way of spelling it...my bad!

grasshopper

grasshopper,

It's one of those words you hope to get on a spelling test, because you have better odds at spelling it correctly.

Jana,



Welcome Back !!! And Happy belated Birthday. I hope Mike, got you something nice. Hope all is WELL with you and yours



Take it Easy, Jana. And stick around....will ya !!!


Jeremy, Melissa, and Family



Mike, FYI. My Birthday is June 8th and I'll be turning 33 BIG ones this year. So maybe you can get me a gift certificate, for the Jelly of the Month Club ???

Um... Grasshopper.

I'm a loooooooooong way from hot flashes.

Unfortunately for Mike, he is an innocent by-stander of my early 30's hormones. As far as my health issues... well, Mike DID cause them. Heart spasms are not pleasant... even if they are caused by positive stress. Ha ha

As for my sweet husband, trust me. He isn't being usurped by Mike in any way. In fact, I would say he is quite the beneficiary. I receive NO complaints.

As for the rest of you girls... "HEEEEY Y'ALL!"
<----- waving furiously
**Hugs all around**

I swear if I wasn't on a calcium blocker... I'd be on the floor!
(Wait... that made me sound old didn't it?)

I'm not old I swear!-- I um... have an ipod... I like Finger 11... I eat apple pie for dinner and don't gain a pound... I still shop in the juniors section... CRAP. Pingu!!! I curse you so that all of your laundry turns pink!

(Oh! and it's good to see ALL of you!)

Jana

Ohhhh Jaaaaanaaaa...

A little plaid ain't bad (and kerchiefs)

Suspenders for you...here's your hat, what's your hurry?

Couldn't resist

Then one day, in the summer of '93, I gave it all away, along with everything else I owned.

Mike[/QUOTE]


What? Why on earth did you give away all your expensive clothes and possessions? Oh my, I imagine there is an interesting story here. The way you said that, "The summer of '93" sort of like "The Summer of '42." I'm curious about this. Did you decide you wanted to be more like Travis McGee? Did some girl break your heart and you decided to start your life over again? Actually, the Romantic Escapes Mike Rowe is startlingly different from the Dirty Jobs Mike Rowe. Even your voice sounds different. I figured you were acting, either then or now. Perhaps not. Well, if you'd care to share a little more about your life, I don't think I know anyone who gave everything away like that.

LOL! I am adding NOTHING in the way of quality posts today, just acting like it's a chatroom!

Good questions, Kay!

Jana,
I'm so glad for you but you did say you were unusually warm and those things have a way of creeping up on you....just sayin'

I really prefer a marvellous crystal clear blue-gray flecked with tiny pieces of the stars themselves.

grasshopper
...still don't like hot pink!!

Yeah, I'd go with the suspenders, and the shirtsleeves rolled up. And then I'd give one of those straps a slight tug and...SNAP! (Just a payback from the cows whose teats you flicked! )

When I'm in NYC I always notice how everyone seems to dress in black. I don't know if it's to look professional, or just because they have no sense of style. Anyway, I'd like to see Mike dressed head to toe that way, complete with a black leather jacket and shades! My, my, my...!

<-- lifts head again, and sighs

Thank you for your reply, Mike.

You are precious!
I may never recover.

Judy, those pictures are a riot. I had never seen them before. Thank you for posting them. Mike looks like he is about to break into song as part of a barbershop quartet or something. He does look fetching nonetheless, however.

Jana, apparently you are something of a legend on this here message board and I just wanted to say howdy to you and I hope that you are able to post more often.

***Waving***

or I could just do the "Wave".

It's getting late in the workday and I get a bit punchy.

Sarah

Judy, you should give us a li'l warning b4 you drop these on us, so's we can get the cold compresses and the mint juleps ready.

Totally having a Luke Duke Moment here. BTW, if you didn't already know, Tom Wopat has a phenomenal voice. We took my dad to see Annie Get Your Gun with Bernadette Peters and Tom Wopat. He made a very musical Frank Butler.

Sarah,

You just had to refer to Jana as a legend, didn't you? Why, why, why??

She's already difficult enough to deal, now she'll think she's a legend in her own mind own time!

Get out the poms poms...rah, rah, rah!

Do you feel the love Jay-na?? >snort<

<fans Jana>
Salts? Anyone got any smelling salts?

Judy, it's her first day back! First Mike posts, then you flash her Mike in suspenders...I really worry...her poor heart!

stand back everyone, give her room...

...takes jar of smelling salts...
NO! Not the DNA sample of Mike! The Salts, the SALTS!!!

Diana.
<looks down>, looks like grasshopper and I had the same Idear....

Jana,
Dear sweet Jana, are you sure you're all right?...I mean you keep fainting,...you're disorientated...forgetful.
I'm beginning to worry dear heart...maybe you should go and lay down with a cool cloth over your face...poor thing ...

Mike,
Jana doesn't seem to be up to all this excitement. You're going to have to be more careful.
Her stamina isn't the same as...mine others here.

Bama,

Let me get this straight...you've watched the recent episodes & what's got you hot & bothered was the hat on the man's head?!? Run, don't walk, back to the doctor & get your meds adjusted.

I was at a friend's last night, DJ was on & he remarked "What's with this guy? Every time I turn on this show he's fertilizing something." I laughed myself sick because all I could picture was some poor, uuumm, "frustrated" Pilgrim staffer lining up these bumping in the barnyard jobs ~ that, or the same mature employee giggling like a 12 year old who just found dad's secret magazine stash & thinking "Boy how funny is this going to be when Mike has to ___ the ___ out of or into the ___ of a ____!" Kind of makes me want to send out some Marvin Gaye or Barry White CD's to help the cause...

Anyway, I enjoyed the show, hat notwithstanding, but could have gladly gone my whole life without knowing how commercial turkeys were mass produced. Where's a spork when you need one?????

Hi Jana,

Add me to the list of people glad to see you back! Before I started posting I read through most of Mike's previous posts and you were a big part of them.
Hope your health situation has calmed down (watch out for those Mike-related spikes in pulse and BP...the man has about set off my defibrillator more than once!) and if you ever need someone to chat with about the ups and downs of heart issues at a young age, I'm your gal. I know how much it s^cks to be 40-50+ years younger than anyone else in the cardiologist's office, believe me! (I'm not sure how to contact someone privately on the board, but I'm sure we could figure something out, if you need someone to talk to).

Take care, hang in there, and welcome back!
Jan
