Little Patsy Is All Grows Up



Oh Patsy my how you've gown
now you are out on your own,
With your man named Joshua
From the banks of Lake Manawa
to the source of the Big River
you are much better then raw liver.

Happy Birthday Pat. Nice picture.

Cor....if I could only go back to the days of youth and beauty.....

Here's what it says about me in my horoscope.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March18). The saying "follow your bliss" is your magic mantra this year. When you do this every day, senseless dreams and illusive desires start to form a cohesive picture. April's twist in your career plot gives you a financial boost. A tantalizing relationship continues to keep you happily surprised through the summer. Scorpio and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 3, 27, 9 and 5.

There once was a girl named Pat
She was so very phat(not fat)
Although we wouldn't know it
From the picture that didn't show it
She was as cool as a cat.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT!
Sorry my poetry is so lame.
Have a good day.

Hi PRose, lovely pic...how was your birthday? All of Algona celebrated for you at the parade and the party after! It was a great day in Algona for St. Pat's, Ed came from Chicago... Joe and Tom and Dan McCall are doing a great job of carrying on the traditional parade. Joe ordered great beads, etc., on the internet so, the kids got to throw beads and candy. Joe told little Don to walk up to people and throw beads to them, Joe realized he was walking up to within inches and throwing beads right at their faces! FUNNY...Don told Nance later on it was the best day of his life:) The party after was at SARAH'S because the KC hall was booked for a fish fry, right in the bar...I thought it was risky because of the free food (stew and food people brought in) plus free beer, but people stayed late (even with kids, which was cool) and Sarah's ended with a good Friday night because after a while people were ordering bar drinks and food, etc...I talked with Darlene Farrell, she seems sad but is doing well. Talked with Steve McCall, the Fort Dodge Messenger (in a story about the parade) has printed that he was dead, from an interview with Joe (not Joe's fault, reporter's fault, it was funny). Next year will be the 25th anniversary of the parade and on a Saturday, I think people should mark their calendars now! Ed and I stayed at Tom and Nance's and the next a.m. had breakfast with Joe at the Chrome, it was all fun!

I love the glasses,

Very hip look, though.

Who of you is a Leo and who a Scorpio? I'm going to start hanging out with those folks who adore me.

thanks for all your well wishes. I had Vietnamese for dinner.

How many did you eat?...I am a Leo.
OK, I just got teary eyed, Bradley beat Pitt...2 Missouri Valley teams in the Sweet 16! That should shut-up those guys at CBS.

Anonymous said...

Ok, I'm going to take a bath with Jude. His new thing is to point at anything and everything (sometimes nothing) and whisper, "What's that?" "What's that?"

Have you noticed that Brad Pitt's hair color changes to match the color of the girl he's dating?

Hey, guess what Stevo and I saw creeping out of an alley this weekend? A PEA GREEN EL CAMINO. I love Council Bluffs. And no, we're not buying it.

We have about 4-6 inches of snow on the ground, with 14-18 more expected by Tuesday night. Does Creighton ever cancel classes? I came in to work this morning, but I expect to be hibernating by about 2:00 today and all through tomorrow and I can't get on this blog at home because of the spyware. I hope those spyware guys go to a prison full of angry homosexual computer geeks who have had nothing to do but work out because their prison computers are all infected with spyware (and no, Dick Cheney, I'm not talking about you!)

You can get free anti-spywhere programs on the internet. There are two really good ones.

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

This one asks you to make a donation.

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

These guys have a free product that will remove spyware and adware as well.

Hope that helps.

We are in the Antartic...we will make to the Quest, though, to see Creighton cream Miami, the Hurricanes meet the blizzard! I bet we'll be able to move down to the real expensive seats. I think the Notre Dame vs. Michigan game is on ESPN at 7:00...

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

On losing 53-52...

Creighton lost tonight,
3 seconds left, 2 bad calls!
Coach chased the refs out!

Snowy, but packed house
throwing bottles on the floor.
Nobody would leave...

Anonymous said...

I listened to the game broadcast by a Miami station. even they were amazed at the bad calls at the end.

They did say the Creighton crowd was as loud and into the game as any they face in the ACC except Duke. And the place was only 2/3 full. very complimentary throughout the broadcast.

Of course that was before people started throwing coins at the refs.

Mary, are you going to start carrying batteries to the games. just a little something to keep the refs honest.

Cathy, Prisons are FULL of computer geeky homosexuals...that's why prisons work SO well in America, they can't wait to finish folding laundry and lifting weights to get their murderous gay fingers back on the keyboard. It's where the term "gaylord" began!

P. Rose said...

I LOVE that song! Send me the CD.

Ed - I will try those sites, although I've tried two others, Spybot and something else. You start to download and the spyware, waiting in ambush, attacks (you can hear it all going down in the computer) and then signals its victory by throwing up 72 windows on the screen. I think we're going to have to give someone money to get rid of it.
On the lighter side (by the way, if my computer starts calling me Dave its going out the window) my dream last night was that I was on a cruise ship deck with a couple about my age and I was telling them I was a medical textbook illustrator and I was giving really detailed bull*&$@ about the job, like how I work in oil paint because it dries so slowly that I have time to change an illustration to keep up with rapidly advancing research, etc. I was just doing this to amuse myself. We all were drinking umbrella drinks and I was thin, or at least thinner.
Coming across the bridge from Omaha last night from class, our van turned over 297000 miles. It was fun to watch the zeros come up. I can't wait till 300000. I missed 200000 - I just looked down one day and it was 200011.

What's a chocolate Jones...is that Star Jones from The View, and why does Pat have her?

P. Rose said...

I love the poem by anonymous..thank you Anon. Is that Grace? Ellen? those are my two guesses.

Anonymous said...

Not Ellen, I would like to know why you have Star Jones, too.

Maybe Joe

P. Rose said...

It was an awful nice poem,Joe Grace Cathy Steve or Molly. Thank you.

Why didn't you write it, Ellen? That would have been nice of you.

Do you guys understand that a "jones" is an addiction, or do you have to have been born before 1960 to know that? (doesn't excuse M.E.) Or am I missing the exquisite sublety of your sarcasm? Fess up.
