Lets go people--think of Mr. Coulter's voice. What has happened, it looks as if the older "Bubbles" class is going to pass us up here soon. So, come on and wake up and smell the coffee, time for sarcasm to run free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to consult Jeff and figure out how to find the site. I kept getting an error but the Fro man set me straight. All I can say about the bubbles class is atleast they have a Bubb posting. Is Shawn really alive? Has anyone actually spoken to him recently. I think he has joined on of the Montana Cults living in the back country, stockin up on fire arms, and chasing all the sheep. Matt maybe you can send one of your Big Foot trackers to see if they can spot Shawn (aka Tripple B).
After graduation, lets see, well more hair has fallen out..
As for Mr. Coulters voice I saw him at BK the other day and he walked me thru the new gym. When we were walking the halls I was praying for a protractor to come flying out of a class. I always wanted to know what a protractor looked like coming out of a class room door from the hall way. Blake, does this remind you of anything?
Blake, if the rumors are true congratulations. And yes I think we need details on the whole proposal thing. Matt may need some pointers one of these days, well that is if Karen finally acts on her true feelings.
Patty, keep up the positive thoughts. I could not agree with you more!!
Craig, are you referring to me? If you are, you have lost more than hair since graduation, lets talk about your MIND! Ha, ha, funny guy. Since we haven't heard, I am convinced Chris and Matt have run away to an uninhabited tropical island so that they may continue to sing the praises of themselves. Chris might be willing to come home sooner, but I think we will never hear from the likes of Matt ever again.
I think we need to make an effort to get together for a beer. Someone pick a time and place and we will all have to meet.
By the way, Craig, I think Shawn might be on his way to join Matt and Chris. Either that or he is too chicken to show his fingers in out thread. What do you say Mr. Bubb?
Matt, posting on other sites and not on your own?? I guess in all your "importance" at Albertsons you have forgotten about us little guys. Ohh, sigh, we all knew this day would come.....................
Ah, yes Craig. That does bring back a memory or two. Flinging that thing in such a perfect arc, heading right towards Shawn Bubb's waiting hands when, suddenly, he appeared. Like a flash he entered the room, projecting Bubb into the blackboard with a two-hand chest pass. That beautiful arc, once beautiful...now deadly. Coulter stood where Shawn's form once occupied, not knowing that a semi-circle of plastic (and possibly his life) flashed before his eyes. I was gripped with fear and wonderment as the projectile came scant millimeters from scarring Coulter's face, possibly ending a lucrative men's facial skin cream modeling career. "WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON IN HERE!!!! WHO THREW THAT!!!!" His voice boomed like it came from god herself. I tried my hardest to hid behind Anna LaRocco, but to no avail.
Blake, Craig, I remember that as well. Although, I did not have the opportunity to hide behind anyone for I was sitting in the front row with Colin behind me doing his pen jumping. I do remember, however, that Pat Cusick has just finished his rendition of Mr. Couler when the protractor went flying out the door. Heavens above, how did we ever get through that??
Hey all, Congrats Blake, I think that is great and I am happy for you and Faith.
After graduation I travelled with a ministry team putting on retreats for two years. I then went to school, got married, and went back to work for the ministry group training the teams to send out. I am currently working as the Diocesan Coordinator of Youth Ministry for Idaho, and raising my two daughters and expecting the arrival of my son due in October. I heard that Steve Turner is getting married as well. Congrats to you. Enough for now, will write more later. Would like to get together sometime as well. Ken
So I miss a week or so....and Blake's getting married?!?
Wow! Congrats Blake, I'm so happy for you. You're going to make a awesome husband and an incredible daddy! The best to you both.
Karen...I don't ask men out either. Does that make me a good Catholic girl too? Keep the Des slams coming. They always put a smile on my face.
Des...I love you.
I've had friends from Kentucky in town for the past week, some women I met last May at the Southern music festival...god...they're both massage therapists and I've never felt so completely relaxed. My life is good.
I'll have better details of life later. ta, Danielle
Well, I've been busy lately, but got a chance to catch up. Matt, yes-this board is definitely therapeutic, and the laughter and jokes help us all!!! I wonder how much we're all saving on psychiatrist bills.
Instead of talking to some stranger about all the terrible things that happened to us in our childhoods, we relive them with our friends. What seemed so devastating back then now becomes a class joke....the worse the experience was then, the funnier it is now.
Like that thing Jeff Jones did in the third grade ranking him right up there with the likes of Mary DeGiorgio (the radiator incident). Jeff, I'm old enough now to admit that I don't remember your terrible deed. I just always said I recalled the incident so I didn't look stupid. Peer pressure, ya know! Perhaps I was an inattentive child. Anyway, I know there's plenty of Spartans that do know what I'm talkin' about!!!
Jeff is moving into town on Thursday, so I am sure all his shit will be unpacked by Friday and he will be ready to go out. If we can change the date to Saturday I can make it.
Thank you Patty for remembering or not remembering? I think it was the 1st or 2nd grade though. Personally, It's so traumatic that I think I blocked it out of my memory.
Speaking of Spartans, how about a tribute to those of us who were Spartans together for 8 years and then Knights for 4. Patty Daley, David Krueger, John Harrington, Blake Vawter, Donald Deroin, Shawn Bubb, and myself survived 12 years together. Patty, Blake, did I forget anyone?
As far as Bar G this weekend, it's probably not the best idea for me to abandon the wife and family for beers the very first weekend in Boise.
Blake, fellow spartan to fellow spartan, CONGRADULATIONS! Being a dad/stepdad is a lot of responsibility, but a ton of fun. You'll be a great husband and father.
After graduation I overate, went to and quit college at least 5 times, did 50 to 100 triathlons, running races, mtn bike races, duathlons, graduated from college, moved to Twin Falls, got married.....
Okay, have to put my two sense worth in about the Trojans (n.k.a. the Crusaders). We weren't condoms back in the early 80's! Rob Thompson, Nick Peterson, and I were together all 12 years. Nick, James Risch and myself were even in kindergarden together! I don't think I have forgotten anyone, but my mind isn't what it used to be.
I'll never forget my first encounter with a Spartan, Shawn Bubb. Need I say more?? What a scammer that boy was.
We can do Saturday night if that is better for everyone. Jeff, you can at least be out for an hour can't you???

Thank goodness for people like Karen, Craig, Jeff and Patty. I am feeling the repercussions of all that two fingered typing coming back to me. All the posts back and forth to Matt have finally caught up with me. I am unable to form a single sentence or thought. Thanks for picking up the slack.
Blake, congrats. Now call me you worm so I can meet your future wife. Matt, have you suffered the same fate? By the way what the hell happened to U of I. I can't believe the ducks (oregon) beat them. They suck!!!!! They need you man, channel some of that energy up north so I don't feel like a loser by association. Also, are you ever coming to visit poor little me in Portland.
Karen, I decided against marrying you at this point. I think it would cool our passion. It's better this way. You can still dream about me though.....
I hope you all get together soon. Have a beer for me and tell funny stories about Matt.
Jeff, you have showed tremendous restraint in declining the Bar G trip. But you have forgot one thing, this might be a good chance for your wife to meet some of your old classmates. Now one person you might not want her to meet would be Matt, understandable, she might be so overcome with passion. So take him up on his offer and have him watch the kids so the two of you can go out with us. I think his influence would be better used on the kids rather than your wife. Anyone else vote to meet Jeff's wife on Sat at bar G?
I think I could make my husband babysit while I went out to Bar Guernika with you guys... maybe I could even work out a babysitter - but I'm not sure. We are putting a playset in the back yard on Saturday - and a beer might be just the thing...
Chris, I must say I am heartbroken, but you are right, the passion is much too strong to end it with marriage.
I have been busy as well. Between work and personal things, not much time for anything else. Do you ever just get tired of your own issues and wish someone else would take them on for a while? Such is life, onward and upward!
Saturday night sounds great to me. Come on Jeff, bring your wife out to meet all of us...
Anyone have a good time--How about 7:30-8:00 p.m.
I think Matt has been abducted by aliens AGAIN! Do you think they will keep him this time?? Thoughts anyone???
Karma has a way of letting you know that someone out there IS keeping score.
so, "for all the girls you've loved before.......SPLAT!!!!!
Take this to heart: When the group is reduced to one, what is one reduced to? You will never be less than one. #1 that is....so stop feeling sorry for yourself and grab your life by the balls and saddle up cowboy! C'mon Matthew, stop acting like a little school girl and start thinking like the rude, cocky, arrogant, iddiotic, moronic, asstastic guy I once knew.

As I sat here reading my last post I thought for a moment. How rude and insensative of me not to come to the aid of my friend. Sure Karma deals a painful, spiteful blow, and the repercussions on ones self must be insurmountable. Without the right support system what is a person to do?
Much like crow, pity also tastes a little fowl. I am forever sorry if my words have left scars.
Oh my is it time for my medication again? It seems like the nurses keep bringing me this stuff every hour.....
Matt, write something inciteful, seething with controversy.
On the island I learned that rats taste like chicken as well. Matthew, although our plights may be different, a night out would do you some good. Mr. Peck is correct in pointing out that without a support system what is a person to do? You have us Matthew, please let us come to your aid in your time of need.
On a more serious side, if we need to deliver beer we will. :)))

Matt: You must have been taking some of CP's medication if you feel you have been talking too much. We expect to see you with your foot in your mouth. Get real son, we love it and well, hell, we love you! Join us and we will recharge your batteries.
Could we please ask Sherilyn to include spell checker. I always fell sister Lil might be reading our posts and that frightens me.
I will volunteer myself and my husband to babysit those two darling Russell kidlets. I'm sure many of you have darling kiddos too but I must admit I am rather prejudiced towards two particular little tow-heads. Go have fun at Bar G Julianne...I'm always here for 'Becca and Jaker!!!
LOL! you guys are crazy blaming me for any talk about karma...
I believe in karma full fledged... I am karma... You mess with me, somewhere down the line yer gonna eat dirt... LOL! I have that type of power... I've alwasy watched others crumble in their own weaknesses... Don't stir straight, just stir away from me...
Lastly, can't a guy be busy at work? Have writer's block? Not have anything interesting to say? I'll write a poem on karma...
karma it'll harmya if yer not careful with who you bad talk, who you offend who you worship, who you end... so if you look to the sky and say why did this happen to me anyway know somewhere, somehow you deserved it-that moment, that day... not bad, eh???
TADA! Girlfriend Peck, don't go thinkin' I'm down troddin'... My luck has been beautiful as late. Things are going very well over here... and as all Boiseans will tell you, the weather is unbelievable here...
My hobby (yes, action figures) has been keeping me busy. Flag Football has been a blast. BigFoot sightings are abound and I've been working with others in that field... AND, I purchased a new car... (new to me)
My GrandFather did pass away last week, but I feel very good about this... My mom snagged him from Hawaii and brought him over here so he could spend time with all of us... He was here for a few months. I can say I cooked him his last meal... My mom asked if I could come over a few Saturday's ago to cook his favorite meal (which I excel at) and I'm usually the biggest flake but I did this... We knew his time was close and during the week he passed away... (obviously my cooking is in question).
I will say he looked at me and said goodbye like I've never seen before... It was a very deep, spiritual event for me... This does not bring sadness to me, because I'm pretty comfortable with my spirituality... He lived a good long life... Needless to say, I've been reflecting a bit. I love introspection.
Lastly, I did party with Nick Peterson (at his house), Herb Kaup, Scot Thomas, Brooks Roberts --all Kelly kids... It was a blast... I understand Nick's older sis referred to me a bitter... which brings up my Nice Section...
NICE SECTION: Karma has its good side... but we're all sooo bad...
Was that nice? No, but I'm not really feeling nice today...
Please stop picking on Dess.....He's fine and I can say that every Saturday night I get a call from officer Potter, "Chili....can you come get your friend Matthew Mullis Dessert?" Dess is FINE.... We can't rely on Dessmund 22, we must we must increase our B _ _ _!!! Sorry just an old catch phrase.....
Hey what's all this talk about being together for 12 years big whoop....I can't imagine going through that HELL once more...life is too short and WE ALL HAVE BIGGER FISH TO FRY.....
YAR rules.....Patty's house around 9:15 p.m. Saturday...I'll call Dingel to go buy beer for us....Patty do you think your Dad will mind, I know Mike's his best friend!!!
Matt: I should have known it's better to be lucky than good (girlfriend situation). Are there still women in Boise who don't know you? Are you living in a vacuum? Does information about your MOJO not circulate around town? Oh well.
Nice to finally hear from you. What do you mean busy at work. I thought the king of deligation always had time to write. You're not doing your own work these days are you? If so, take it easy. I would hate to see you burn out at this, your sexual and intelectual peak:)
FYI: Funding has finally come through for me to continue my mono-e-mono reunions with fellow BK alum. Where will I go next? Let's see......Does anyone live in Anchorage AK? If so, I will be knocking on your door soon. Please have the beer ready and have the embarrassing pictures of Matt handy. I promise not to stay too long.
In November I will reunite once again with Mr. T (no not the A-team), the equally visual stunning Steve Traverso. I had such a good time I thought I would return for a little more. IT"S TRUE!!!!! Also, I will try to pin down the elusive Kevin Boyd (circa 1986) who is riding high on an 8-0-1 record at Cal. Berkeley. If he has time and I have the patience to wait ala "boyd time" we will get together and discuss world issues. again, don't worry if I haven't shown up at your door. Your time will come and believe me, I am fascinating and will keep you rivited to your lazy-boy (just ask Blake). By the way, technically if you are just engaged does that mean you just dump all your friends and stop posting on this site? Matt, any comment?
Karen, thanks for the e-mail. I am proof that any "asshole" can be the boss. And look good doing it!
bye for now, but be careful next time you answer the door. It might be KARMA come a' knocking.
Dude, quit with the needy thing. Starting to sound like my ex-girlfriend (pick one). "Why don't you ever call me?" Can't a guy be busy?? First week of school, y'know.
To finish my story/flashback, so I'm cowering behind Anna LaRocco when Coulter, seething, says, "Who threw that?!?!?!". I sheepishly raised my hand, hoping he wouldn't see. "Get down to Capper's office, NOW!" I'm not sure what transpired in class after my departure (Karen? Bubb? Cusick?) because I bolted out of there (out of Coulter's wingspan) and down to Capper's office.
So I roll in there and Cap says, "Mr. Vawter, to what do I owe the pleasure?" I tell him and he just shakes his head and says in his home tongue of Brooklyn, "What da hell were you tinkin'?" Coulter shows up and wanted to know what was going on. I merely told him that the protracter was being tossed around, landed on my desk, and I tossed it back. Even having my pinkie finger in the three-hole punch wasn't enough for me to give you up, Bubb. So I got two weeks of janitorial duty (much respect to Chuch Irvine and all custodial staff everywhere....you all rock!), mostly sweeping up the women's bathrooms. Y'all are pigs! At least we ATTEMPT to hit the garbage cans. To top it off, it's during football season, so because of detention, I'm late to practice....can you say REAL ESTATE? I knew that ya could.
Mr. Peck is actually a very articulate, thoughtful and insightful human. Of course, I did have a few beers so he may have SOUNDED articulate and my judgement concerning the thoughtfulness of "Hey man, don't puke in my new car," and insightfulness of "Dude, you're drunk!" could be a bit clouded. I highly recommend a visit from da man. As for round 2(Chris), Faith and I will be in Portland on the 18th and 19th if you want to grab some grub.
I wish that I could join the party at Bar G because it sounds like a blast. I will be in Les Bois for Thanksgiving and the week following if folks are up for another get together.
CP, you know I'm just flicking you shitage...right?? Because you could just flex and knock me across the room. ;-) Blake

May I quote the old time philosopher......."I'm like rubber..you're like glue" I think you know the rest.
I guess I have a couple people to address here. First, Blake. You ought to be happy someone cares as much for you as I do (tears in my eyes...If lovin' you is wrong..I don't wanna' be right)OK, enouch of the fake sincerity. Sure, I'll throw you a friggin bone and have dinner with you and whats her name. Please give me a call and I will come runnin'. You know the number(s). I EXPECT A CALL AND NOT A CANCELLATION.
Matt, my dear Matt: Now the cats out of the bag. Straight, no that is the wrong word. I was thinking more like bent, as in GET BENT. You crack me up with your humor. Steve and I had the best time reliving old memories of you trying to be a tough guy. To your credit Steve remembers the drive in insident too as well as the Yellow rabbit ordeal. I had such hostility as a youth. Maybe I should blame my parents for making me grow up in the museum (another Steve comment).
Hey, do you remember the time you had to take care of business one night at roundtable?(I believe her name was CARMEN) no, everyone get your mind out of the gutter. You see Carmen was my girlfriend for about 12 minutes one weekend and she was a little intoxicated and was hitting on Matt (no not making passes at him, physically hitting him) and soft harted Matt had to put an end to her taunting.....Matt finish the story.
Needless to say after I heard the story Matt and I became the friends we are today.
Help me remember more......and You know what? I sound NOTHING like Curt Guiles.
I am hearbroken Chris, you profess your love to Blake and he is TAKEN! Ah well, life is rough all around isn't it??
You still manage to crack me up. I can't help but wonder how we all made it through school together without all being in trouble for what else--our attitudes! Was I really this bad back then. Here all along I thought of myself as the quiet one that only wanted to play basketball. The things you guys come up with is a real scream!
When you do finally make it back to Boise, I promise I will be able to stay out longer!
Matt, I knew you couldn't stay silent for long. If you went much longer I was afraid you would explode and all we would have left are little Matt parts that we would have to put together--much like Humpty Dumpty.
Is everyone still on for Sat. night? We have yet to decide on a time so I will let the men of the group decide on that one.
Gotta say I forgot all about Officer Potter...that was a memory!
Got an e-mail from a friend today-something about if you're not feeling old enough read this and listed events, etc. that the freshmen starting college next year don't even remember. For example: record players, the space shuttle crash, the Iran hostages. It made me feel like an old-timer so I thought I would share that with all of you. Love ya!
I'd definitely be at Bar G on Sat., but as much as I liked beer, I never traveled a thousand miles for one..a couple hundred-maybe!
Have fun and drive safe all you D.A.S.H. members!!!
Thank you Craig for taking the initiative on the time. Let's have a vote on how many of you all are going to be there! I should be able to attend although I just found out we have some friends coming into town and my babysitter might have to go out to dinner first.
Patty, wish you could be here. Always nice to have a fellow alum to help in the "trashing" department. JCR, after a long day of "play sets" I am counting on you!
Matt, oh Matt, what would a night out be without you there? Sigh, must we wait another 38 hours to find out if you will attend? Please, enlighten us with your wisdom and give us something to look forward to.
Craig, I'll bring the sunscreen for you in case you forget a hat, oh wait, that's right, the sun goes down earlier now. Disregard. (Sorry, I couldn't resist).
So I will show at 8:30 at the Hairy Basque place...
I'll be the one in the dress.
Peck, you crack me up... Why you bring up these things, I never know... but she deserved what she got... She had more ballz than the anonymous poster punk. At least she attacked me to my face... I remember me doing a Dukes of Hazard slide over Dingel's Celica and climbing in the window... leaving her to look for her contacts... LOL! Dingel was in disbelief... Everyone was shocked... SMACK!
The museum... LOL! I can hear Satan Traverso's voice now...
Patty - I love you...
Karen, any explosions on my part will take place in the privacy of my own home, thank you...
I don't think I had any of you posters in my Geometry class when Coulter caught me cheating... Then he started throwing things...
First- sorry I missed last night - I have a daughter who spent most of the evening throwing up (SOMNE thanks for all that back breaking labor to put up her new play set!!!) And - I would have left my hubby to do the honors- but then I thought I might be exposiong all of my favorite people to something really nasty. You are all welcome - and, yes, I think I am the only mom on the planet who makes a concious effort to NOT expose other people to my children's illnesses! (oops- do I sound bitter?) Next- just because it seems "on topic" - so to speak - Mr Coulter's daughter, Amy, is our #1 babysitter right now. I wonder if Mr. Coulter has told her about my class.... maybe that's why we have to pay her so much to get her to come watch out kids... :) Hope you all had a great time at Bar G
I too must apologize for the fact that I wasn't in attendence. Our company stayed a wee bit longer than anticipated and in lieu of being rude I missed the chance to meet up with all you fine upstanding citizens.
I hope all had a good time. JCR, don't you know that germs are killed by one sip of beer. Or, at least by the fourth one you can't even spell germs so who cares! Actually, I love people like you. As you know, girls have enough issues when they are healthy, let alone when they are sick! Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
Matt, I am ever so sorry to have missed you and your infinate wisdom! Let's plan on a weeknight next time!
Patty, Patty, Patty... of course I wouldn't rat anyone out... I was embarassed enough to have disappointed Coulter... all I could do is hide behind my tears... <---pretty good eh.
Well- I hung out with Craig and Deb on Saturday night... It was a blast. I don't think we could ever run out of things to talk about.
We missed you Karen and Julianne... You know, we could do one of these with again... whenever. Always fun.
That's why I found it funny coming from a fellow ex workmate's mouth. I just looked at her and said "Please call me Matt, you poser." Then she went and told her mommy on me. Well, something like that. People say things they don't really mean... Not...
I've meant everything out of my mouth... Especially if I follow it with "just kidding."
I have found that no matter how old you are, trust no one... In my 30th year on this earth, I have met some of the weakest individuals I've ever known... If I felt the need to speak to them, I would say, buy cats now, for you have a long lonely journey ahead... oh, and may you lay to rest the spirit which haunts you... Lay it to rest...
Can you tell I was forced to spend the night in a haunted house? O-kay it was a duplex... I saw it empty and snuck in... With the magical powers invested in me, and the knowledge my ex-roommate/witch gave me, I saged the place in every corner, mumbling about how the evil spirits needed to go away and land on some unsuspecting boyfriend in the midst of a new age massage.
Sometimes I wonder if my daydreaming ways will catch me inbetween worlds, causing me to roam the Earth as a ghost pissed off at my early demise... Other times I'm convinced my death will be a slow painful one, as I pay for all of my thoughtless "just kiddings." I'm ready either way. and I promise to haunt each and every one of you... in a very, very demented and scary way...
Hey, it's October, what do you expect??? BTW, my B-Day is the 20th - so if you need my manuel labor help, better make it quick...
Last time I saw a moving truck, I walked up to the guy and asked him, "you need any help?" He just looked at me in a weird way, but my friends laughed their asses off.
My Boss/ex-friend knows how I am and asks me often if I am sorry for things I've said... I always say no. He says yes you are... and I say no I'm not... and this guy wonders why my house visits have come to an end... That damn ghost ended up there... Besides, you all know anyone high up in a corporation is part of that corporation... There comes a time when ppl cross over... I'd rather be a ghost if Heaven is a huge Corporation.
But enough about me... please. tell me about yourself...
Once again we are blessed with the ramblings of one of our only "gurus" of the modern world.
In other words Matt, it sounds as if you are single again. Want to meet for a beer and you can explain your tails of misery with me.
Chris, or should I say "Vacation Man". How much longer are you going to be gone. My gosh, it just isn't the same without you here. Look at poor Matt, so depressed and destitute.
Never regret what you say. I have been very lucky. My ex can't remember anything I told him! (I know, I am really bad with a sick sense of humor!) Karen
Do I sound depressed. Man, I thought that was cheery...
I just don't exist on the same plane as you guys I guess... I thought I was funny, witty and dashing. You say I'm depressed and misery filled...
Single again? I've been single for over 3 years... I prefer the term, free. I'm free again. However, I will share I have a date... but I told her no holding hands, no kissing and she has to pay half... Then she canceled. Weird.
DId you know if all Boiseans of 87 were to have a drink, Herb, Rebholtz, Chili, Craig, Jones, You, Me, Julianne, Doug, Steeles, Deroins, Jason King, Ann Salter, Luchte, Freidinger, Jackie Barker, Erika, Ken, Don, Dingel and I think that may be it... Hmmm, that would be a party... Beer bong anyone?
Not to be confused with the "Amazing Mumford" from Sesame Street... Are all those people really in town? You really do run into everyone!
JCR, how are the little tykes? Was it a mere 24 hr. thing or are you in for the long haul. Lucky me, I am going back to the Dr.--my poor chicken, sinus infection again. I was hoping the surgery would prevent this, this year, but we aren't starting out well!
Glad to hear you are NOT depressed Matt. Heaven's above, what would we do then??!!

IT IS SO *^%#^9(insert f-word)cold up here in Anchorage. Why would anyone volunteer to come up here? The entire state is full of eskimos and degenerates hiding from the law.
Nice to hear from you Matt. What is it like when a thought pops into your head? You are really out there man.
Of course, I too share the curse of the damned along with you. God forbid I had to account for every one of those "just kiddings". Although my house is ghost free. It was part of the divorce. Ex-wife gets the house with all the furnishings, and ghosts. (LOL)
Why have your standards fallen. I can't believe that YOU are willing to pay 1/2 the date. Since when? Come on buddy, remember there are still women who know nothing of your charm. They are willing and ready to pay handsomly for it. "just kidding", see there is another one.
You know, being alone in Alaska has made me do some thinking.......(insert classical music).....In looking back at the past I tried so hard to escape from the confinds of adolesence only now I find myself longing for the good times, the free times. Free to spend each waking hour with YOU my friends. The bonds and relationships we shared, the lives we effected, oh, the memories...... Was that a cute little snow-bunny that just ran across the path? Is anyone buying this load of CRAP? Matt, stop being so philosophical you sound like a little girl. NOW, give me the scoop on your life..You got WOMAN or not? You employed or not? you happy or not? you comin' to portland or not? (see ladies, this is how men communicate. If you want sympathy, that is what your girlfriends are for).
Enough of me trying to be Matt. It's hard work being Matt.
Back to ME< ME< ME. Apparently, none of you live up here in Anchorage so this has been a wasted trip (well except for all the sick kids) My next adventure takes me to.....oh, yea BLAKE and Mrs. BLAKE. I hope to meet the future Mrs. Peck(ooops, did that slip out) Mrs. Vauter for dinner this month. I will let you know if she is worthy of Blake.
Karen, I got your e-mail (funny). I can't believe that you and JC ditched everyone last weekend. The two strongest supporters, and you don't show. Nice man, really nice. You know that Matt made fun of you, don't you? That's how it goes, you don't show up and you are the target. That's why you gotta' be there.
Audios' for now, or as they say in Alaska "it's too (insert F-word) cold gotta' go"
Oh, lost love of mine. Once again, I am not disturbed by the fact that people were talking about me. I am honored to be a subject of the conversation despite the endless harrassment associated with my name. I am deeply and truly sorry that I was not in attendance. In fact I talked with my priest about it and he gave me absolution.
So, on that note, let us plan another evening of fun and excitement. JCR, I am not going any further until we hear from you and your crew. I know you tend to be the "jet set" family last seen on a boat in the Cayman Islands with Melanie Griffith and her brood. Please let us know when you are available.
Although, in my uneventful (unless you call a lovely morning at the courthouse dealing with an inept prosecutor an event)life, I do have plans on Saturday but the rest of the month seems to be open. Well, take that back. I will be excorting Ariel (a.k.a. The Little Mermaid) around for Halloween, but other than that, it looks open.
It's been so long since I have written so I must begin by apologizing. Today is my last day at Corporate America- I will now go to the land of Non-Profit where all the birds sing a happy song. I will not miss the micro-management, I will not miss words like micro-management, I will not miss the drive on ParkCenter, I will not miss anything but my office with big windows... Matt, when you speak of this beer- you are speaking of a quality beer and not say Rainier Ice right? Anne
AT LAST, SOMEONE SUMMED IT UP.... > > 1 The nice men are ugly. > 2 The handsome men are not nice. > 3 The handsome and nice men are gay. > 4 The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married. > 5 The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have no money. > 6 The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money > think we are only after their money. > 7 The handsome men without money are after our money. > 8 The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, > don't think we are beautiful enough. > 9 The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat > nice and have money, are cowards. > 10 The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money > and thank God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST > MOVE!!!! > > 11 The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest > in us when we take the initiative. > > NOW ...

Matt, how you make me laugh. Although, you have summed up every womens dilema. But, then again, if you guys don't understand yourselves then how are we supposed to???
Ahhhh! Blessed health. Rebecca had a bit of a 24 hour bug - but (Big, loud knocks on wood) none of us have caught it yet. We worked our asses off to put a great playset up in the backyard and the kids haven't been out there since... ingrates. I called Mr. Coulter to see if his daughter could babysit and told him to check out this latest thread. So - watch your mouths! Karen- a woman in Southern Ca. (What a surprise) stole a towel from her workout club. She went home, washed her car- dried it with said stolen towel. Alas- poor woman- her car was scratched. She is now taking aforementioned club to court so she can sue them for damages.... 1: does your firm represent people like this? 2: Has any lawyer EVER been prosecuted for wasting the courts time with a frivolous lawsuit? Well- I am all game for another get together. I can't believe I missed Matt, Craig and Deb. That would have been a great time! Let's plan it again soon. With enough advance notice - I can get a sitter. Finally- start sending me your ideas for how this reunion next summer should go. How much, how little? Basque Center again? Try something new? What do you think? See ya - Julianne
No, I don't work for an ambulance chaser, no morals, lack of integrity firm--I work for a ethical person (I know, he IS an attorney) but we are more involved in probates, establishing businesses and estate planning with a little tax law thrown in there. I definitely enjoy this area of law to the wretched family law that I was exposed to in my last job and my personal life. Quite frankly you know you are getting old when you see other people signing their will and think, "hmm, maybe it IS about time I do something like that--how will I know my little chicken will get all of that 10 dollars if I pass away prematurely"? Couple that along with bad knees and ankles and I am already making reservations at rest homes! Pathetic!
As for the woman in California, can't the club countersue for the theft of the towel?? Good thing she didn't use it coming out of the shower, God only knows what kind of scars the poor fool might have received. I myself use nothing less than designer towels to dry my car.
Glad to hear all is healthy and well in the abode. If you need someone to come play on the jungle gym, I know my little monkey would love the exercise!
Matt -You know some people might be scared off by the misunderstood somewhat impetuous taste of Schaeffer Light. It's sad really- a fine beer like that to not be discovered as one of the top ranking beers of the world. But the shame of it aside- the truth is many people turn their nose up to this fine brew made i believe from the freshest waters of the Great Lakes. I guess what i am suggesting is to forget the beer and just go with the tequila. Anne
Karen - I personally think you should scrounge up on eof the old drill team get-ups - complete with knee high white boots! And that would provide added stability for your knees when you are mobbed by adoring BK fans! JCR

I can see that this thread is becoming a bit slow. No new posts in the last three days? What's up with that?
Well, the big homecoming weekend, just who will be coming home? Blake, are you going to Boise? Karen, are you going to take the little one to the game. Matt, would you ever be seen at your old alma matter (however you spell that)? Let me know how things went. I want all the info on who shows up and what they are doing.
Blake.......Get back to me about the 18-19 of this month. I am scheduled to go to the RSNA (society for science geeks) in Chicago and if you are coming, then it would be a great excuse not to go.
Despite my burning desire to don the illustrious outfit complete with the boots (with heels, JCR have to stay away from those things, deadly) I don't think myself or my little chicken will be in attendance. Although I would like to be there to have a "Pat Cusick wannabe" lead us in a rousing "ooo ahhh B. K", it just isn't going to happen. Nevertheless, I will be joining you in spirit and watching for the score on the news.
Chris, where have you been? If anyone can get Matt to speak up it is definitely you! Please don't leave us in our hour of need!!
Perhaps you'll check this site more frequently than you check you phone or email messages.....
I'M HERE! TRAFFIC SUCKS! Faith is planning on coming up Wednesday, so if you can round up your S.O. for dinner, that would be outstanding. We can also do it Thursday if need be, though it will have to be a late, late dinner.
I'll be at PCC Sylvania tomorrow (17th), so call the admission office there, and they'll track me down.
Don't think me unkind Words are hard to find There are only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind And when their eloquence escapes me Their logic ties me up and rapes me De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Is all I want to say to you De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Their innocence will pull me through De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Is all I want to say to you De Do Do Do De Da Da Da They're meaningless and all that's truePoets, priests, and politicians Have words to thank for their positions Words that scream for your submission No-one's jamming their transmission And when their eloquence escapes you Their logic ties you up and rapes you De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Is all I want to say to you De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Their innocence will pull me through De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Is all I want to say to you De Do Do Do De Da Da Da They're meaningless and all that's true De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Is all I want to say to you De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Their innocence will pull me through De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Is all I want to say to you De Do Do Do De Da Da Da They're meaningless and all that's true
This evening my reunion tour will be focused on giving the 3rd degree to Blakes new fiance' (Faith). I will indeed find out if she has "faith". I am sure Karen, you will trust me to ask the right questions. I have all ready poured over her financial reports, done a thorough background check. All that is left is the mono-e-mono interview. I will debrief you all tomorrow (no, karen not that kind). What I want to know from all you out there is how was homecoming? Did anyone in fact come home? Has anyone heard from Christine Mack or Pat Cusick. I fear for their survival and may take it upon myself to hunt them down.
Bye the way, I believe that someone is getting married this weekend (steve). Congratulations to you and your new bride. I wish you the best of luck in your future. If you ever come out here to see Blake, please look me up.
Matt, you suck for not writing, and you are not a member of the police. What in the hell are you doing on a day to day basis. If you don't write soon I will tell another tale from your adolesence and I will not make you the hero this time.........
"I am convinced that the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed."
Dinner last night with Blake and Faith was great. Faith is a very pretty, smart, nice woman. Blake is going to be a very lucky man............ Sorry Karen, Blake has left the building...Looks like you're left to fight it out for either Matt or Pete(still unmarried as of yet).
No more news to share except Matt won't write................It makes me wonder what he is up to. What has filled up his precious on-line time? hmmmm.....
Boy, who needs enemies when you have Chris! Good Lord you are great for my ego. Just because the "born again virgin" status may apply to me doesn't always mean I haven't had any dates.
Glad you had a good dinner with our esteemed classmate and his future bride to be. It is about time he found someone nice - he deserves it!
Not to imply that you are "boyless in Boise". Just to let you know that your choices are dwindling down a bit. Far be it from me to say that Matt is not a great catch, or Pete for that matter. I only want what is best for you and since I am married and Blake is spoken for you may have to settle for third best.
All my love. Chris. P.S. I am still waiting for a visit from you. For Goodness sake it's not like I live on the other side of the world.......DO YOU HEAR THAT MATT...IT'S NOT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!
Matthew, come back from the dark side of the moon and play. I know your melancholy ways and was that you quoting MY Police!! Come'on just look at my senior quote!!
Karen, is this your new dating service? If it is I bet all the other classes would help out! We could run a personal ad on each of the other message boards. I bet you'd be booked for a year - especially if you promised to dress in one of those drill team getups! Tee Hee!!
By the way Scarecrow, everyone's unusual to someone.
However, on the bright side, I vowed not to help anyone this year. I'm looking forward to looking my friends in the eyes and saying no.
Anne - such writing skills... Eloquent, witty and funny... Thanks for the smile. : )
Patty... you said, "By the way Scarecrow, everyone's unusual to someone." I love that. very nice.
Peck, stay the hell out of everyone's sex life. Damn boy, my precious time is always filled up round here. (oops, BRB, need coffee) So don't even --- wait, personal phone call.
Like I was sayin, don't come in here thinkin you can, wait - we're goin' for a nature walk... I'll write more later.
Karen - it was only a matter of time before the shackles of our fellow classmates began to chip away at their very souls and thus, cause them to focus on you and your singleness. I am, however, relieved it's moved to you. He he.
Blake and Faith = I like that for 2 names together. SOunds good. You have my blessing Blake. and Faith, if he ever gets out of line, let me know, althoguh I think my days of being stronger than Blake might be over. but I know I'm still cheaper.
Jeff and Craig, rumor has it you guysleft the door of the Tiger cage open in Boise. Nice move. Making the cops shoot that lady.
Why is it everyone thinks I posted the Police. and even if I did... Those aren't my words... But it is a band we all loved, with very relevant words for a messageboard so I felt it appropriate... Sides, I've been listening to that album (which is??? Patty?)
I LOVE THE FALL! (Nice Section)
Hey Boiseans, let's get together sometime... We could have a pizza party er something - that way all the kids can come...
Matt, another year under your belt, and what did you learn in your "freshman year" of the thirties?
Thank you so much for turning the tide of attention to me, although you must remember that I am rubber and you are glue so eventually it will go back to you!
Patty, while you are arranging my dating schedule, please make everyone aware of the fact that I don't wear the white boots until at least the second date--I am a respectable woman mind you. Besides, I need to set an example for my 3 1/2 year old who will inheret the polished set just in time for her dating years.
Pizza sounds great to me. My little Karoline is a sausage and black olive freak just like her mother. What is everyone up to this weekend? Tonight?
Happy Birthday! I wish you would quit getting older because I am three years older than you so everytime you gain a year that makes me THAT much older! Ok-I am not making sense this morning. Must be all those paint chips. I hope you go out and do something wild and crazy for your B-day. I have some suggestions but I can't post them! HEE HEE!
I learned more than I wish to share... It's had its ups and downs... I think I learned to channel my energy... Now if I could use it for good instead of evil. Thanks Karen!
Excuse Wendy, she is still dizzy from DisneyLand... SpaceMountian! Nuff said. Thanks Wendy! You know I will be gettin crazy, but I am still curious for your suggestions... Please post them... Everyone needs bathroom material...
sorry Your b-day was not marked on my calendar...let's see..Christmas,Easter, 4th of July,Presidents day....It's got to be a misprint STUPID CALENDAR PEOPLE.
Happy Birthday BIG BOY. I now know where you have been these past weeks. Instead of posting you have been thinking about your life.........(insert daydream).
entrance: Matt looks around at his world and wonders.....What if I were in charge of the universe?
Dream sequence: Picture a bright sunny day with children playing and all is right in the world...Matt returns to work at MATTS' (formerly Albertsons). "good morning", he says to his fellow employees. "good morning Matt", they all chime back. "why don't you all take the day off", says Matt. "And miss the BIG parade?", they all laugh. For they all know that today is Matts' Birthday, the biggest celebration in the world........................
Fade back to Matt sitting in his cubicle: "huh, oh time for lunch".
You mean Matt is not in charge of the universe? I can't go on. Matt tell me Chris is wrong and that your way, chaos, is in charge of the universe. Happy B-day big guy.
As far as the rumor that Craig and I left the tiger cage open, I can neither confirm nor deny those alegations at this time.
No baby yet, but it is down to days maybe even hours. I'll keep you posted and at long last we'll truely know the answer to the biggest question of the new millenium. Does the fro skip a generation?
Happy B-day Matthew! Have you been reflecting on your zen, your yatta, your mon, or your datta. How dare you ask me such a trivial question!! If I were in Boise I just might have to do a shot with you. It would be Hot Damn so why don't you do one without me. It's the thought that counts.....
Jeff, I'm so excited for you...let us all know as soon as you put the new baby down. I must know which name you settled on! Early congrats!
Boys, didn't anyone tell you to leave the big kitties alone.
Karen, those boots were made for walkin' not sitting in the closet!
Thanks. Chris, thanks for giving her the thumbs up. I had to have your vote. Matt, she can pretty much kick my ass on her own, but I'm sure she'll call if I'm extrodinarially (sp?) bad. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, man. Welcome to the over 30 crowd. Jump in, the water's warm.
Today is the big day. In watching Steve and his bride to be go through the wedding preparations, reception stuff, rehersal, etc., I have to say......not for me. What a friggin' headache! And the cool thing is, Faith AGREES! God, I love that woman!
Anyways, best wishes to you all. I'm hoping to catch up with the Boise crew after T-day.
Wow Matt, it's amzing what a little airbrush can do for a person. Seriously, yeah, ok Alyssa is dreamworthy. Don't you think she looks like that other lady that plays Lois Lane on the new Superman?
What did you end up doing for your B-day? I got to host a sleepover for 5 of my 12 year old sons best friends. What a nightmare! I dealt with it.(Don't ever try to decorate a cake after you've had a few vodka and cokes!)
Karen, how come your bro didn't make it to the 85' reunion?
I thought it would take at least a few days before someone would make some airbrush comment on Alyssa, my true love. It's not her looks that attract me. It's her personality.
But seriously folks... Airbrush can only go so far... and for some reason I think Alyssa, my true love, fairs o-kay by herself, in person. If only I could run a real test. But I understand Wendy. All of you beautiful women make it hard on eachother with your cheap shots and jealous tirades. and no - Alyssa Milano is far finer than Lois Lane... Sexier eyes, prettier lips and better hair.
My birthday ended abrubtly, if that helps... TEQUILA!!!!
Alyssa's face with my body. Good Lord, you have a few pictures taken after the baby is born and look at all the jealous actresses. Is there ever any peace??
Wendy, lets just say my brother doesn't have as many fond memories from BK like I do. He grew about 4 inches and gained about 20 pounds after high school. I don't think anyone would recognize that short skinny kid anymore! Actually he and his wife and two children just moved up here from Reno. Now Karoline has two more cousins to play with. Thank you for asking and I will tell him of your inquiry.
Matt, hangovers hurt much worse at 30-31 than they did at 20-21, don't they? Not that I would know, I just heard it from some of those people that have a life!
Hey - that's the "after" picture of my breast enlargement surgery!!! Matthew, how did you ever get that! I was even still a little swollen in that one!
Wendy, try that with 12 year old GIRLS! I saw one of them with a big black "LOSER" tattooed on her forehead the next morning. Poor thing....at least it wasn't camo colored!
Matt - don't worry about your birthday ending a bit abruptly- ALL men experience that at one time or another in their lives. It has nothing to do with your age. Just try not to think about it too much or you could really psyche yourself out. There'd be women all over Boise weeping and wailing. (I cannot belive none of the rest of you posted something like this first!) Sorry- Matt - i couldn't resist. By the way- if we meet for pizza - I might get a babysitter. i love my kids and all - but 18 waking hours a day makes Julianne a little cranky - AND I DON"T WANT THEM TO COME TO MY PARTY! Waaahhhh! Great to see Chile in the Denver airport- his little niece couldn't look more like him (or be cuter for that matter!) JCR ps - no meetings have been scheduled to plan a reunion for next summer - and I think I may be the wrong person to depend on this time around... just warning all of you...
Okay, who wants to get together this weekend? Anyone, anyone? Name the night, place and we can all fight over the time. I will need a break by the weekend and I am thinking the traveling Queen, JCR will be ready to party with the serfs! Sorry JCR, had to get you with that one!
Let's here from everyone!
Karen
**Chris, where are you? You have been silent for so long I am beginning to wonder if you still care?!!(sniff)
Patty-I don't know if boy or girl parties are worse. I only know that I will not survive another fart, burp or blowing legos out the nose contest! And that was at Pizza Hut! They were worse when I got them home and put them in the hot tub. Needless to say I did NOT have to turn on the jets!
I used to stay up all night and party and now I cannot even outlast a 12 year old. How sad.
Matt-okay, I will lay off Alyssa. What about her personality do you find so attractive? Did you know she was married?
Karen-I am sorry Kevin had such bad memories. I always thought he was so nice and smart. Tell him "Hey" for me. Better yet, turn him on to this sight so he can chat with us.
Breast enlargements... I support this decision if that is what they really want. Patty, don't knock it til ya try it.
Man, I had no idea Alyssa could add so much to our forum. (oh yes I did) How does that song go??? WHO LET THE CATS OUT?!!! MEOW MEOW MEOW WHO LET THE CATS OUT?!!!
I did know she was married 9for about 2 months). I think Alyssa is currently dating the lead singer from Creed, but does not get too involved due to her career. She's perfect for me... Do marriages or relationships really mean anything unless there are kids in the picture? She's kid free... Alyssa's personality is "sexy." Can't a man obsess?
Julianne - sweetheart - it may be abrubt, but the return is more impressive than any of y'all r used to... <---chit talkin.
Matt, oh my dear Matt. In my continuing quest to find out more about the male (humans are what I am referring to) species of our world I have read several times that after the consumption of alcohol (more than one, less than eight) - well, let's just say the little soldier has a difficult time standing at attention. Not to say that it happens to every man but it really presents a problem for men over the age of thirty. So, if your evening ended that abruptly then it might have been due to the, as you put it, TEQUILA!
Karen - it is not a secret amoung men that alcohol is a crutch when trying to convince yourself that you want this woman... Often times this leads to over consumption... It's a Catch 22...
I don't want her, more alcohol... I want her... too much alcohol...
Karen- You wrote to me imploring that I find the long lost Bubbles (Shawn Variety). I am very sorry that he has not graced "Mambo #5" (an inspired title-my admiration to the author) and have duly read him the riot act. The explanation is simple: INFANT!! Actually, his home PC is sitting idly waiting to be fixed, AND he is tending to a beebers, AND his job is more important that the frigging Pope (OK, to Montana government insurance types). He apologizes and I am sure will make up for lost time when the child goes to college and he retires.
Just as an update, the kid (Jake, not Shawn) is so freaking cute, he looks EXACTLY like Shawn did as a baby. If any of you remember the young Bubb (Blake? Harrington? others?) you will know what a doll we have on our hands (I am sure that is what Blake, Harrington and others thought in the first grade "what a doll Bubb is, gush, gush").
Anyway, I am just the messenger, conveying the absence. I am not signing his sick note or advocating his neglect. He loves you all passionately, and I am sure will log in someday!!
Why does the job title, HomeMaker, have such negative connotation? Have we really lost sight of the importance, the difficulty and the power of such a job? In today's day and age, women are belittled and men are chastised for chosing this occupation.
While I was growing up, my mom was a Homemaker, and a damn good one. She was responsible for all cooking, cleaning and childcare. She also turned into house manager as we got older, delegating responsibilities so that she could have a little free time. She cooked all of our meals, did our laundry, cleaned the house from top to bottom in the midst of 5 children running around her feet; a job that paid no money. Now, in 2000, a woman taking such a role is scoffed at, as if it is the easy road. Professional men & women who chose to have children know the reality. They prefer their 8-5 job, knowing that the challenge of a house full of children awaits them. Work becomes a safe haven.
If ever you wonder why our society has gone down this pleasant path of failure, the answer may be locked away in the mind of the oldest Homemaker on Earth. I can think of no greater occupation. That is, putting our children before the material things that we all seem to long for so much.
and sadly, I cannot think of anything more hollow than a very professional man, other than a very professional woman.
So, I say let the professionals continue on their path of empty victories, but they must learn not to turn their nose up to those who have chosen invested interest in all of mankind, building homes from within four square walls.
As I sat and read the last post, wiping tears from my eyes, I thought to myself "finally someone who really cares about me and my plight". Those heartfelt words touched my soul and made me feel like I was connected to the sun. My eyes still tearful, I tried to type my personal story..... ALAS! while reaching for my second box of Kleenex I noticed the post was from Matt.
You can imagine my reaction (wait,.. just imagine for a little longer).
Matt, as I remember your mother was not just a homemaker. I think that she held a series of other positions. Let's see if we can name them all.
mother, wife, homemaker, referee, ringmaster, taxi driver, cook, psychologist(for Mike and Jessica, we know you are stable)Volunteer, bailbondsman, alibi, "the punisher", a title she shared with your dad.
I hope I didn't leave anything else out of her resume'.
Seriously, I believe in yor cause (rant) and it is nice to hear from you.
Let's not forget those who are playing the duel role of professional and homemaker. We do have a few of those people around.
Finally, we must,in an effort to give equal time, acknowledge THE PROFESSIONAL. That individual who throws all other prioroities aside to do one thing.....Make this country the RICHEST in the WORLD. Relentlessly spending days and nights behind the computer screen, desk, or counter for no other reason than to make this great nation powerful and fight the evils of communism and tyrany (standing to salute the flag of our great nation)....
Because this country was built on the principles that if you are willing to work hard and pursue your dreams that you can accompolish anything (MUSIC of the STAR SPANGLED BANNER!!!!!)
Now if you will excuse me I have to get back to my EVIL business meeting. We are planning on how to steal Matts' MOJO.
Gasp! I was just as shocked to see Matt post, no, rave on about the tireless payless job that every "homemaker" faces on a day to day basis. Confounded Raja!
Thank you Chris, I assume that is you Chris even though you don't acknowledge your emails- for recognizing those of us who have been elected to pull "double duty" in their life experiences. I certainly didn't start out that way but as my mother/nurse/cook/laundress/counselor always told me - "Life isn't fair so don't be looking for any handouts". Gasp! She once again was right!
So, now that I am in the evil world of law and injustice I find myself looking for greener pastures to free up more time to spend with my little sidekick. Could there be, oh, do I dare say Law School? But, that would put me with all those heartless snakes that take the law and twist it to better suit their needs and make everyone else suffer! Then again, I would be in the "professional" class of people. Do I dare brand myself with that label when my child is so young and impressionable? Do I want to raise a Wall Street Wonder whose main goal is to buy and sell until the toys are all gone and she is on top of the heap counting her millions?
What is a woman of the millenium to do? I could always just resort to what I wanted to be for Halloween - A kept woman.
I knew I could get you to speak up. You hit on the head with the Suzie Homemaker phrase. It's condescending. Let's call Professionals Polly Professional. Coin a new phrase...
Peck, yer funny.
Also, I appreciate this country, but we, as a society, have lost focus due to this Capitalist nature... We spend less time with our children.
Come on with all that money you are making conquering the world....splurge and buy yourself a couple little ones. After all you are in your 30's now. WAIT>>>WAIT...is this the 30's catching up with you? No more ME, ME, ME you're not going to vote for AL GORE too are you? Oh man, just give it a little time. You can't just rush headlong into the post-teen years. That is not the america I want....If we all thought like you then we would be forever surrounded by clean air and water, flowers and have all our free time eaten up by those little ankle biters (of course, mine is the exception...she's perfect just like her dear old dad)
Come on Matt, live free or die.....Pollute a little. Drive instead of walking, use the river as your toilet, DAYCARE, DAYCARE, DAYCARE.
Hasn't money taught you anything?
(of course, I am not serious.......)
Just thought you would like a different spin on things.
Now Iam forced to look into my Rolodex of "B" movie one-liners to end this post.....let's see, no I used that one ,...ok,ok here's one.
"I didn't spend 7 years in evil medical school to be called Mr, it's DR. EVIL"
seriously Matt, "STOP humpin' the freakin' laser" (that one is from Steve).
Are you a hardened criminal, tax dodger, eskimo, tree hugger, fur trapper, environmentalist, oil barron, degenerate,social outcast, or "finding yourself"?
I believe that there is a questionare. You may have to qualify before they let you enter the last bastion of environmental freedom.
Unless of course you have fur then you are halled away to the rendering plant and made into a pair of moccasuns (sp), or a fur bikini.

You all are dropping like flies! Matt is getting married, no one left for me. Sigh, I am reduced to lonliness and living vicariously through my classmates. (violins)
All right children...I have to take time out of my very busy evening (not!) to spend some quality parenting time on the web.
Matthew, I happen to agree with your spouting of parental degeneration in this country. However, I think it is the ignorant fool who looks down upon the homemaker...much like it is the ignorant fool who looks down upon ANY minority.
Ah hell, I was going to get all philosophicaland chit but damn it, I'm just too tired!!!!!!!!!
Good luck on your date, buddy. A little advice, though. Don't offer her any hundred dollar bills!
It was an immediate response to have hugs with those two men. That is; eye contact, smiles and hugs. It was nice.
I saw Steve at the Pearl Jam concert. He told me he was recently married. I said I knew that and asked if he saw Ken Cook and he said he did... I went on to explain that he must log on...
James and I went to college together so it's only been about 6 to 7 years since we saw eachother in a bar and talked chit. I always liked James and he's just got better and better with age... I told him to log on...
I don't know whether to share what these guys do or not so maybe my enticements will get them here...
Fr. Pat Russell is my cousin (by marriage of course). What do you want to know? Or were you just curious? Or were you just wondering where the heck I was? Just by means of explanation for my absence- I am so amazingly fulfilled in my "homemaker" status that I am currently cooking #3. As I told Christine Mack earlier today - during those times when I am not contemplating my loss of sanity - I am quite excited. The rest of the time I am asleep - so I am not checking this page very often... And it looks like my homemaker status is going to continue for quite a while - so thanks Matt for all of your kind words and support. Sniff, sniff... I was starting to wonder if anyone even cared!!!
The reason I wrote the homemaker thing was because I overheard 2 women talking smack on a friend of theirs for deciding to quit her job and take care of baby full time.
Instead of me interrupting and debating this, I decided to air it hear.
You see, I'm trying not to offend as many ppl as I usually do... My tongue is very sharp... It has made even the strongest ppl react. and I think we all know this from the occasional preachy nameless posts that occur. If I'm lying, may it snow like a mutha today...
Easy there Cha Cha....boy Dess, you've got everyone sooo SNOWED!!!(pun) I mean you're always juggling 7, 8, hell 10 women at once...it's quite a site to watch...especially all the ebbs and flows.... NO sympathy from Con-Carley....I think your normal boy, and I know for a FACT that Sarah and Mike did a GREAT job beating your ass and giving you all the seasoning you could have asked for.....
I think the mood of this string has changed....
I think all men are their MOMMA's boys....even tough guy PECK....That just goes to show you we love our MOM's....nothing like a mother's love huh????
Oh boy!!!! WATERFOWLERS UNITE......
Ducks are coming in Gotta go!!!!!(sorry if I offended any PETA members...but MEAT IS NOT MURDER!!!!...it's what's for DINNER..)
Am I not paying attention, or did Chili just call me a mama's boy?
Let me just say this!!!!!!! it's true:)

For those tired of the usual "friend" poems, atouch of reality. When you are sad,............. I will get youdrunk and help you plot revenge against the scum sucking bastard whomade you sad. When you are blue,.......... I'll try todislodge whatever's choking you. When you smile,............ I'll know you finallygot laid. When you are scared,......... I will rag youabout it every chance I get. When you are worried,......... I will tell youhorrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quitwhining. When you are confused,........ I will use littlewords to explain it to your dumb ass.When you are sick......... Stay away from me until you're wellagain, I don't want whatever you have. When you fall...... I will point and laugh atyour clumsy ass. This is my oath............... I pledge till theend. Why you may ask?........ Because you're myfriend. Send to ten of your closest friends and getdepressed because you only have 2 friends, and one's not speaking to youright now anyway.

Saw Ken Cook at Steve's wedding. He's doing well and has child #3, who is a cute one. Ken, hello if you are checking in.
Surf is flat-1ft and it's damn windy. Not how I wanted to spend my day off.
I have two tickets to the Civil War game this weekend and am looking forward to it. We need a little help to go to Pasadena....GO COUGS! Anyone else planning to be at the game..Holly?? Any other duck fans out there?? You poor maligned folks. You will see the light.
