I have loads of two things for the party.
Board Games
Kill Dr. Lucky
Devil Bunny Needs a Ham
Star Wars Trivial Pursuit (if you don’t know say Wedge Antillies)
Star Wars Monopoly
Star Trek Monopoly
What Shall I Be (a board game that help young girls choose a career)
and I have MOVIES
Most all of the Disney animated ones (just not the ones that suck)
Musicals How could anything be wrong when you are watching The Sound of Music?
Euchre! Did someone mention Eucre? I’m getting winners, and I get the spades to keep score with. No word games for me thanks, the only thing worse than my grammar is my spelling.
I too saw John Denver, a few times.(Shanghi Breezes tour was one) He just loved to play our town. Where he could not leave without singing our theme song. All together now.
“Satuday night in Toledo Ohio is like being nowhere at all. All through the day how the hours rush by, go visit the park and watch the grass die.”
I’ve got a Sheperd’s pie in the oven, I’m making the gravy when it comes out, anyone want a slice? I also just baked a yellow cake with chocolate frosting,(I added about 2 cups of toasted walnuts. I just can’t eat plain yellow cake, I had to add something!) And I just got a fresh 12 of the Holy Doc (Dr. Pepper for the uninformed) for anyone interested.
Man, has this ever been fun!
Zebra Bring The Lion King right in here. Thank you! Now I just wish LittleTel were here to watch it with. Yes, I’m going to cry when Mufasa dies, but dammit I can’t help myself. Pass the klenex
“Hakuna Matatta! Means no worries for the rest of your days! It’s a problem free philosophy.”
Can you get anymore perfect a tune for this party?
Love it, TelcontarStorm!!
But another good one is My Fair Lady…
“All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air, and one enormeous chair - oh, wouldn’t it be loverly!”
I’m a sucker for old musicals - Anyone interested it some Fred & Ginger?
Thanks, ivylass, a good soak really would be welcome…
[sub]The most recent part of what’s happened is here. I’ve been doing my best to hold up my wife and her family after their loss, but yesterday & today my knees have started to buckle…[/sub]
Thanks, todd. And God’s blessing upon you — I was thinking some chili would be good. [sub]Made with stew beef…? That sounds amazing…[/sub]
Wait…“God’s blessing”? That reminds me. If your industrial-size coffee maker is still perkin’, then after I finish the margarita-and-chili main course, I’d sure be loads better if I could finish with a Callahan Special. Just toss some of MsRobyn’s Bushmill’s into a mug of your best Kenyan brew and I know cares & worries will start slipping away.
Kn*ckers, it don’t bother me if hugs are lop-sided, just as long as they’re warm & strong. 
*sigh… *Okay. Outlook is starting to improve, and I’m seeing that it’s time I added something to the festivities. So… I got an eight-hour tape of last year’s ‘June Bugs’ marathon. That’s 8 hours of Bugs Bunny cartoons as my contribution to the collective spirit-lifting efforts…
I’m there more than ever right now – it’s in another thread, but I’ve had a bit of an auto accident, so please picture me in a hot tub getting my neck rubbed.
CJ
OK that’s it…
I’m making WAFFLES!
and because I’m from the south…
FRIED CHICKEN!
Trust me, guys, it’s really good for the soul!
Oh, OK - I’m assuming that’s a good thing since you’re not cowering in a corner avoiding eye contact with me…
As it happens, I’m my favorite topic, so kick back, get comfy, and prepare to be, um… er… well, whatever.
And thanks for the socks. My feet get cold for no apparent reason.
Oh, goodness, I’m so sorry. My condolences. Is jkayla here too? Seems like she needs a nice foot rub.
Waffles! I swear you all are going to put a few pounds on me just reading this thread. Can I have mine with thawed strawberries and whipped creme? No harm in that fried chicken either.
Tyger God’s strength and wisdom to you. And a hearty hug for the Wife and her Family
My goodness! I spent the day at school, and look at all the new faces! So good to see everyone…{circulates, passing out hugs and thank yous for all the goodies}
Copper-Moon, Sunstone, welcome! You can wear whatever you like…if you need anything, I have a whole selection of warm soft flannel jammies in the closet. And as you can see, we have lots and lots of socks, booties, slippers, you name it. And toenail polish, of course, should you be so inclined.
Let’s all move around a bit and give the very bestest, softest places to CJ and Tygr. They’ve had quite a time lately, and I do think they could do with a little extra comfort.
TelcontarStorm, may I call you Tel? or Con? or Storm? Because it is only a matter of time until I call you something that ends with “Strom” and them I’m gonna be hungry for pepperoni strombolis again.
Todd, what the hell are all of these cards? Do I throw this red one out, or the other one with the funny shapes? How’s about if I just curl up on this soft quilt beside you all, and take a little nap while the sound of these lovely voices soothes me to sleep? I’ve been up since 2:00 this morning, and here it is, almost 9:00 p.m…and I’m due to be up again in just a few hours!
Someone better get a little more wood for the fire, methinks…it looks like another cold night!
Tyger, my deepest sympathies for you and yours. I will light you a special candle and send prayers your way.
bodypoet Tel will do just fine. Don’t ask me why I stay around, but there’s something nice about taking care of folks. Gives me that chance to practice those Mothering skills that the Teenager quit needing long ago.
Here’s a plate of DeVenas Chicken and waffles. Relax. Have some wine and enjoy the warm fuzzies. Get thee some sleep so you’ll feel refreshed and ready to start all over again in the morning.
Tupug comes out of hair braiding stupor Oh, thanks Ivylass. swish! swish! Oh, that’s super! Can I return the favor? I can french braid.
This is the best-est party I’ve ever been to! You know what I like best about it? There’s girls and guys here and we’re all enjoying comforting each other and being comforted. You guys are the best! Thanks for organizing it bodypoet!
Todd grabs what we call “the Jethro Bodine bowl” and heaps it with the stew beef chili and assorted extras, and passes it to Tygr and family
It’s good stuff, Tygr…just like you and yours. I’m toasting the memory of a few departed friends with some blueberry wine now, and with your consent I’ll include your recent loss.
While I’m thinking about it, some extra blue corn tortilla chips for you. Todd hands Tygr a popcorn bowl full of chips
Oh, and there are a couple of open spots on the coffee maker, so come on down from the moon where you’re all by your lonesome, and we’ll get you hooked up.
It’s all good, Bodypoet, the only thing you really have to remember is sometimes the Jack of Diamonds isn’t really the Jack of Diamonds…but more practice will get you in fighting trim on euchre. Oh, and TelcontarStorm, welcome to the table…it’s good to have you with us.
It’s very good to be back in the fold with you all.
Sorry I didn’t include this…something felt unfinished here:
cj, hoping the hot tub is making you feel better. Would you like some English Toffee tea? Getting you the giant mug and a long twisty straw, just in case.
Well, now that I’m over being sick, I can take a more active role. Hope none of you catch what I had…it knocked me on my rear for about four days.
I’m bringing in a bunch of Cadbury cream eggs for those that like them, and if people insist, I’ll grab some Peeps too - though I hate to even think of buying those.
Thanks, Tupag, but my hair’s not long enough to French braid. You can paint my toenails, if you like. I like this fire-engine red color.
Besides, we need to start discussing whose underwear goes in the freezer for when these slackers start nodding off. 
sniff Oh, you guys…
…someone pass me the kleenexes, please? I think I’m…[sub]sniffle[/sub]… I’m going to need a couple of minutes here…
…
[sub]sniff… It just gets so exhausting, sometimes, being a grown-up… sniff[/sub]
…
sniff-snuffle-sigh… Okay. I’m alright, now. Parm’me as I try to regain my composure & dignity.
:: makes indelicate noise into kleenex ::
Alright. Better, then.
Sincerest, heartfelt thanks to you all. And God bless you, bodypoet, for this warm, comforting place, where it’s okay to leave 'sponsitilities outside for a while.
