New Blog-No Title
Good evening, I just returned from one of my favorite things to do; dinner with one of my sons, and great daughter-in-law, and three unbelievably, wonderful grandchildren aged 4,3, and 1. This would be my youngest son Gabby, and he works for the AVP-the Professional Volleyball Association,and he too, lives in Manhattan Beach. My middle son Chris, the "Me" in Pop&Me, lives 15 minutes away and he has 2 sons, and my oldest son Richard lives in San Diego and he has a daughter and a son. I am blessed to have my family so close to me. Well, fellow bloggers, get ready for my 2 sisters, they have wanted to join the blogger world but have restrained themselves-but no longer. Shortly you will hear from them. Connie is 2 years older than me and she lives in the Florida Keys and she will be one of the panel members. My younger sister, Judi, lives in Long Island, and she runs a very successful day care center.
I was over at the Ayres Hotel going over some arrangements for our get-together September 1 and 2. Below is a photo of Doug Ayres, the owner and Ann Williams, the General Manager. They are being such gracious and generous hosts and are so pleased to be involved with the event. We are standing in front of an actual Renaissance fireplace imported from Italy. Wait until you see all the other authentic decorations around the hotel. I felt like I was back in Tuscany again! (Speaking of which, the buffet they have planned for us is called "Under the Tuscan Sun", not A Taste of Tuscany as I miswrote in the recent Newsletter. My apologies!) (I'm also experimenting with loading photos to the blog so we can post them during the event! You Ladies of the blog are way ahead of me...) All of the indications are that this will be interesting. Very interesting and fun! Bye for now. Richard Roe

O.K. I'm very new to this.....Richard...I just read your "current" events of the evening....Family is ALWAYS # 1...... you already know that I will be there on the 1st. I have just learned about all of your "bloggette" fans......this is going to be so much fun.....looking forward to it. whether it be "one on one" or a "round table" discussion...I'm up for anything....Sincerely L.P. a.k.a. "put me on the keeper pile"
Two sisters will be terrific judges. That's what I'd do; put 2 siblings on the panel. I'm not sending in any material because I really don't want to "apply" plus currently I don't qualify--not free (have to work) and not as fit as I once was and intend to be again. So, Richard, if you don't find your travelmate this time around, perhaps I'll exchange some information with you in the future.
N.
Just so no brothers get on the panel, they only think of negative remarks. I had not seen my family
in Germany in 8yrs.. 10 minutes back the ribbing started in from my 3 brothers, and they know material that is sooo funny to them, but I had to dig hard for
hopefully responses. Ah/Oh brothers
You All have fun in the sun!

Welcome to blog land! I hope we are not too much for you because we certainly can go on and on. You can click on my name Desertflowers and see what we talk about over there. We call ourselves THE NANNYNANNYBOOBOO SISTERHOOD, just for skins and grins. You can also go to that site www.nannynannybooboosisterhood.com and see pictures of those of us that have been blogging for a while now. Linda in Tucson put the site together for us. You'll find us to be a pretty straight forward, opinated group of women. Hope you like us.
Richard, thank you for the new newsletter and blog. My heart jumps to my throat every time I read the blog and think about meeting you. So, so happy that your sisters will be a part of all of this. I know they will be looking out for your best interests, and that is a great thing. Don't be afraid of us Richard, we are kind, sweet ladies who will be just as nervous and excited as you will be on those two days in September.
Ladies, I'm one of the ones driving up and staying at the hotel for both the first and the second. I've never been to MB before so I'm looking forward to the sights, the best being all of you and Richard!!!

O.K. Just got home and saw all the fun you are having...loved your new announcement, Richard! But, DROMA, as i read down the scroll, you finally inspired me to speak up. I was going to just let the rude, disrespectful comment go...since you and the rest of my blogging friends were being so supportive. Your call for the Blog Police was really cute! But now I feel compelled to point out something (and even some of my blogging friends will groan, "oh, not again!". He (and I use that pronoun on purpose... a "real" woman would not have been that boorish) used an incorrect word. The word he used is an adjective...it doesn't even fit in his sentence. The word he was unsuccesfully looking for is the noun, decolletage. Tsk, tsk!! If you're gonna be rude, you better make sure you're right!
much love and a wink...shar
Good Evening Richard and Ladies,
Only five comments I feel really blessed tonight to have worked so late and taken a last peak before retiring. WOW!
Family is definitely the most important thing ever, next to friends and health. So I am blessed too to have two of my four children close. My daughter is in Hollywood, my best friend, and my oldest son is also in San Diego with two children - a girl and boy too; maybe our sons are neighbors wouldn't that be serendipitous.
Having family close is always a blessing; two of my sons are too far away with the rest of my grandchildren, but I go visit whenever possible.
Will be fun to have your sisters join in all. What a treat! I am an older sister and having a sister is the best. I also have two younger brothers, one I got on my 2nd birthday, so we have always shared a lot especially our special birthday not being twins just siblings. He always had chocolate cake and I had angel food. He never forgets my Birthday and I always remember his too. :)
Sweet Dreams RR and Ladies all,
Ann (aka Ladejag)
Operawench Thanks for offering to sing to us. I sure would like to get you filmed doing some of your opera to send to Oprah. We might have to do it in the rooms though so we don't disrupt Richards party. But then again, he may just ask you to sing to us. Wouldn't that be a kick.
Hey can you get a photo to Linda in Tucson for our sisterhood site. Sure would be nice to know what each of us look like so we can have a real strong greet and meet.
Coach aka Sharon OK...now I hope you don't take this as being rude, but I think your decolletage showing off your bodacious tata's looks mighty fine and your dress is stunning.
No, DESERTFLOWERS, YOUR comment is very cute, Suzanne, as was Droma’s…and thanks for the complements. But I don’t want to give the anonymous ill-mannered comment any more attention, so moving on…
Thanks to both you and DANCINGGIRL for your comments on my blog. Connie, I am very interested in the book you recommended and will go out and get it. I am a voracious reader, and there are currently only 2 books on my nightstand, so I will add yours to the stack! It is summer so I am "caught-up". That will soon not be true as classes start next week!
I kept saying "right on" and "ditto" as I read both your comments. Good Job! I truly hope your philosophies are true for everyone of our "bloggette" friends! I will forever bless Richard and his "Search" for this wonderful summer of self-discovery and of making new friends!
See you next week!
love and niteynite! shar
Oops..forgot to tell OPERAWENCH...I LOVE torch singing, which you said is your favorite? So, I am anxious to hear you sing that, too!! love, shar
Richard the Roe:
I have an offer for you :)...The ladies on the blog would like to receive a contact sheet for the ladies we have met on the boards..It is my understanding that you told someone who contacted you that you expected 70 coming to MB Meet and Greet...There are about twenty of us who have become the 'heart', or maybe that was the 'butt' of your cause, lol...Anyway, I have made up a contact sheet that I will be more than happy to distribute to all attending if that would be of help...I am coming to people watch and meet the ladies and be their cheerleader so I would have time while you are wowing them!! The headings on the contact sheet include: Screen Name; REal Name; Location; E-Mail;Industry;Sign Interests...I think all but Real Names and E-mail addresses would be acceptable to the ladies I know as some are giving their trust out a little at a time, which is probably good...
BTW, I would like to discuss a collaboration with you on the exciting opportunities that will spring from the media attention you are getting as the poster child for old people falling in love...Man I used to think that kind of a thing would 'gag a maggot'...It is like before I couldn't spell it and now I AM ONE!! LOL Anyway, I am going to print up these contact sheets for our group and if you would like I would be happy to prepare them for the rest of the ladies who are coming...I really like the contact sheet as a point of reference, as I can't keep the screen names and real names co-ordinated...It works for me...I will have extra time while you are grilling the girls and I can bring my laptp and printer with me...You probably do not remember me, but I live in California so I can be available to help when neede.
Peace and Joy,
CJ
WOW RICHARD: I can't wait to meet your sisters!! I always wanted an older brother to protect me and to tell me the best guys to go out with...I can't wait to hear how they describe you...Since you seem to have been somewhat of a rebel rouser in school, I bet they all thought you were so much fun!! It will be interesting...
Do you have a specific 'O' producer with which you work??? I will give you initials and you can tell me, lol....Anyway, thanks for all the hard work putting all of this together and bringing new friends together!! GO4IT!!
Aloha Richard!
How nice to have your Sisters on the Blog, hello Connie and Judi:)
Welcome Aboard!
Keep it 'in the family' I agree with you how special it is to go out with the kidz, love to sit back and watch them interact, that in itself is a tonic 'good medicine':) How fortunate you are to have your three Sons living in close proximity, I too am fortunate to have my 'three' living here in spite of their adventurous Spirits(take after me:)
As previousely mentioned my Middle Son leaves for one week training and preparation in Victoria B.C then off to Uganda Africa with the
Canadian Team on his six month Internship.
So here's to Romance and Adventure
and the prospective future meeting with you, your 'posse' and the bloggers:)
Keep the DREAM ALIVE:)

WWWaaaaaaaaaaaahoooooooo
NNBBSH ROCK! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Dear Richard and Friends,
Just coming home on a rush turn around in another one of the occasional nightmare shifts that us hospital workers know so well (working 36 out of 48 hours) thought I recheck the Blog to remain current, Then I read your, blog, see the great picture, Feel the EXCITMENT. Now how the heck am I going to settle down for a quick nap before working the remaining 16 hours???
Thanks for the wonderful anticipation.
Happiness is having something pending.

Richard When I was in Italy last year I loved some of the old homes and castles that had those huge fireplaces. We were there in October and I came to realize why they where wool in the winter months. Something we don't even own here in Arizona.
Morning sbsister2So if you left skid marks, that must mean you can move pretty fast? LOL – as you can see by my picture the most athletic event I can do is billiards. Being raised by a very refined southern mother the idea of us (girls I have 4 sisters) getting dirty was a no, no. So my athletic abilities are rather limited to say the least. We all think that Linda is gorgeous, talented, and creative. We are very thankful that she put that entire site together. Well I’m off for the day, need to do some work on my business brochure.
Hugs Suzanne
Good morning Everyone…and especially CANADIAN BLOGGETTE. I very much enjoyed reading your rant…you are hilarious. It is SO good to have you back!! Don’t worry, Linda will take very good care of you! Just send her a picture RIGHT AWAY!
And welcome to the Boomer Sisters! We are glad to have you on board! I do NOT have any sisters, and have always been jealous of those who do! All I had was a younger brother who I always thought had “cooties”. As a pre-teen, he would sit on the living room floor and pretend he was having a fit when my dates would come to pick me up…Arrrrrgggghhh. Thank the Good Lord he grew up; now he is my best friend. But, ohhhh to have a sister. That is why my sister-in-law is so dear to me, too! SO, WELCOME! I admire that you have added the male peafowl to OUR name…could you perhaps be referring to our dear, sweet Richard? Oh, you two are gonna be great fun!!
And BDNC and DESERTFLOWERS: You go girls…what great cheerleaders you are! Thanks for taking care of all of our new blogers!
And to Richard, a sincere thank you…and to your “Blog Police”, too. I was answering a question today from my Email and went back to find the boorish comment from “anon” last night. Both the comment and the cute response from DROMA is totally gone (but Ellen, I will always give you credit for your quick response). Thank you, thank you, Richard et al. I really appreciate the high standards you are enforcing…good for you. You and your friends who help you are my heroes anew!! Love, shar
Connie and Judi Click on my name Desertflowers and it will take you into my blog, that is where we are gathering - and talking about our little Peacock.
OH Gawd! Sharon don't look at my post where I used the word "where" rather than "ware" LOL
CanadianBloggette We miss you darlin and we have been in a great turmoil trying to get your picture posted on the NNBBSH site. Do not ever, ever think we have forgotten our number 1 sister! Without your humor, sometimes I'm at a lost of just what my next comeback will be. Hugs! I assure you Linda did not forget you, she just couldn't copy your pic over for some reason. Get her a picture ASAP!!!
Babette You stinker....WHERE'S MY PICTURE ON YOUR SITE?......I think Linda is doing a really nice job.
Good Morning Richard, sbsisters, Connie & Judi, and Ladies~
What great nicks ~ sbsister1 and sbsister2; isn't this FUN? Did you ever imagine Richard doing something like this? I am anxious to hear from Connie later too. This is such an adventure; tis nice that you two are a part of it. Family input is can be so helpful at times; aren't the ladies awesome? I think so.
Shar I think your pic is super too; loved your entry but those police are on the ball so never saw the reference at all.
bdnc I desperately need your help and expertise to post my pic to the blog site here-I can't get it to work and have tried :( Suzanne said you were the expert. Help me pls. Also how do you get names and such put in another color-use HTML tags such as bold, italics, etc. This is so frustrating...
Canadian Bloggette thanks for the name; I know no one has forgotten you and your pic will be predominantly displayed soon. Such a wonderful moniker you came up with. Sisters are so very important even beyond family members too.
Shar I agree with you as well as I always wanted a BIG brother instead of younger ones to look up to and ask for advice especially about boys when a teen - what a challenging time. My brothers now are my champions and friends.
All the ideas for the meet and greet too I think are super cj as it is hard to keep names, nicks and faces (many that are not available as yet) straight. The evolution of the upcoming event just keeps getting better; what a threat and thrill it is already and will continue to be I am sure.
I have to be offline starting tomorrow for the next week, so will miss all :( but will check in periodically if at all possible; then headed to MB.
See you all soon, take care, and safe travel all. Great picture Mr. Roe fireplaces are such nice touches.
Everyday's a holiday and every meal's a feast...
Warmly,
Ann (aka Ladejag)
RICHARD
I believe a request was put in for a computer for us to see each others' "videos", but since I sent in a video, I'll need a VCR. Can you see, for those of us who sent them in this format, if one is available?
Many thanks!
Suzan
ann in order to get the blue color type a carot "<" no space then "a" no space then another ">" it works like a toggle switch turn on then turn off. Type in the data you want to be blue then close the toggle with "<" no space a forward slash "/"no space "a" and ">". Try that if it works then you can bold by using "b" rather than "a" and italizize (sp) by using "i"
Now the picture. Ok I'll need you to go to the edit your profile section of your blog. Of I think you have to download Hello Kitty and Picasso did you do that?
mtnflowers@cableaz.com
WELCOME Judi & Connie, It will be fun having you both on the blob things get pretty wild so hold on to your hats or is that "feathers?"
Ladyjag
i emailed you instructions.. am going to have lunch... starve..... i can eat the whole blog... so hungry ! :-) Now that's very sexy ;-)
desertflower
Linda did a great job with the site. the revised site was just a suggestion. WE are all doing great!
why? because we are the NNBBSH Girls!!!
And your picture??? hmmm where did you go? you just can't stay in one place can you? *lol*
Wow...a beautiful place the Ayres is!!!
Now, I AM getting jealous of the gals coming to MB!!!
Love the photos in the blog!!
Linda
You girls really are rocking! It sounds like you all have developed some great cyberspace friendships - I have been reading all the blogs since the beginning, but like many of you was a little nervous about "letting it all hang out." Now that I've got the hang of this blogging thing, I think it's going to be quite fun.
Canadian Bloguette: Where are you from in Canada? I am from the Eastern Townships in Quebec.
WELCOME Connie & Judy!
Pull up a chair and join us for... The Dream, the Adventure but most of all....THE FUN!!
As Richard's sisters, I know you both will make sure your brother will be leaving for his trip, in good hands.
I know you have alot of catching up to do on the blogs. Just be careful, because this has been known to cause scrollitis and even a "pain in the neck" to poor Richard, back at the beginning!
Thought for the day.."I choose to experience the sweetness of life"
May all of you experience a sweet day! :-)
Aloha Richard Connie and Judi:)
You three seem to have an incredible sense of humour, that in itself is a BIG ATTRACTION re. meeting a 'prospective Soulmate/Life/Travelling Partner'I hope it is not the 'Tar and Feathers' syndrome ...those NannyNannyBooBooSisterhood gals seem to be a strong team in itself:) you go girls!!!!!! :)
Just remember there is only ONE Richard, meoooow:)

p.s. an exciting weekend ahead for all down at Manhattan Beach, Richard you will need a 'back-up' team of Male support for sure! :)
WELCOME...
Connie and Judi...
You two are in for a ride...
the women on this blog are
the smartest and most gutsy...sounds like
you're up for it though...those skid marks
getting to your PC will be a foot deep
by the time this is over...
Question: what do you think of the "6 women"
idea? Maybe this is too loaded a ??? But,
it is a stumbling block for some of us...
We can start a whole 'anonymous'
discussion on this if you want...
To the NNBBSH...love the web site...
thanks for including me even though
I can't go to MB after all. You all have a
blast and take lots of photos for the
rest of us to drool over!!!
S.
Connie and Judy --can we see photos of you? Or at least Connie, since she will be at MB??? We ladies are curious about ANYTHING you want to share....
Good Afternoon RR, SBSisters1&2, and Ladies All~
Suzannelets see if this works with your excellent directions. I am still having trouble with the pic even after all the wonderful help from you and also bdncthanks so much for your quick replies and assistance. If this works, then I have this part down and will just have to use it to not lose it as they say with all else in life.
We shall see, here goes
Warmly,
Ann (aka Ladejag) :)
WOW that was great! YOU are terrific! Another learning curve conquered! Just need to conquer that picture thing.
Thanks again,
Ladejag
Hi all,
I also join in welcoming Connie and Judi. What fun this is and having family involved is a great way to share in all of it as it has become so exciting. It's gaining momentum by the day. I can't wait to meet all of you! I have left Linda an email asking her if she can add my photo on the blogger profile and NNBBSH so I will have an identity also. I agree that it sure is better when we know who we are. Technology sucks with me but unfortunately it is with us to stay. I just don't want to face it and have threatened to get someone to be my techno assistant but that would be the ideal world.
I was wondering how many of you are coming to Chicago? I am only trying to devert some attention from California if you will........guess I am just wishing I could be there and planning for it. Do we have a group coming into the Windy City? I hope that we get some news on that so we can make plans. Looking forward to meeting all of you.
Hugs,
Chandra
From Frenchie,
Hello Connie and Judi,
Welcome. Looking forward to know more about you both. I just saw the ad with Richard on Oprah for Thursday.
I am the eldest of seven and miss them all. 5 sisters and a brother, #3! I have six years difference with my sixth sister and 10 years with the baby (48years old!)!!!! I miss beeing 10 at the table everyday: kids, parents and grandmothers.
The Internet and cheaper phone rates make it so much easier to communicate.
I'm glad you and Richard are close.
MyriaminVA
Hi Richard:
How wonderful to have your sister's point of view. My kids encourage my endevours also and get behind me to accomplish things, even though I will make up my own mind, it is refreshing to hear anothers observations. It will be fun for them to read the blog. The ladies are fast here so it isn't easy to keep up.
The Ayres Hotel is lovely, perfect choice Richard, my compliments. Excited? Hope you post pictures of the cocktail party!!!
Spend quality time with your sisters also, don't just obsess with us. Get polished up for your grand evening (hair cut, although i like it shoulder length for that Tarzan look, no sideburns necessary, new silk shirt,italian cut pants,delicious cologne....Wow!Tres magnifique RR!). Enjoy!
Chandra - Count me in as one who is planning to go to Chicago! I don't have actual plans, though - I was hoping there would be some other people from my area with whom I could make the trip.
Nancy
Dear Judi & Connie!
WELCOME!!! Will you please tell us when RR's B'day is? We kinow it is in April, 1941, but don't know the date... Thanks for putting this mystery to rest!!!!
Have FUN!!!
Cindi :)
"IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR, IT'S A FAMILY AFFAAAAAIIRR" Welcome aboard Connie and Judi!! :) :) I have 4 sisters and one brother..... so what was it really like with Richard growing up? What little I know from Pop and Me, Richard had quite the spirit! Did you call him Dick, Ricky, Rich or what?
I just surprised my sister (who also runs a day care) and spent 2 days with her. She was feeling down for many reasons so I flew up for 2 days. (One bonus of being a pilot is you fly for free)We went to an art show and bought matching necklaces (different colors).We went biking and swimming with her day care kids We had a blast! It truly is fun hanging with kids when there's lots to do! After the kids went home, I found a video store that had "Pop and Me" and rented it for her to see. It really touched base for her and her sons.
Sisters by chance and friends by choice,(2 peas in a pod) Can 2 brains be dangerous? Life really is as good as you make it!! (minus a few curve balls)
Everyone will be looking forward to all your sisterly inputs, (so we know what we may really be getting into :)) Will we meet you in September in Manhattan Beach?
Make it a great day!! Michelle Bahr
Richard,
Do you speak any other languages fluently?
CINDI: April 3rd, I beleive?? is RR's birthday. Someone correct me if I was misinformed.
Forgive my delay in welcoming the siblings to 'our' site. Acutally RR's, since we now have our own website for the "Sisterhood"! Also happy to know one is close to me geographically. Where in LI? Betcha can't guess where I live?!! And, yes, I think it IS worth it going clear out to the other coast to see what I've invested so much time and ... daydreams about. Thanks to my new-found friends, many!, I know it will be money well spent, regardless the outcome of choices. I do hope to be considered, otherwise all this would have been a lark. However, I'm still serious about the endearvor, the journey, the Adventure. And I wish all of us could travel together and really have a good time, but I'll be equally happy with this travel experience!! I've gotten much more out of this than my wildest expectations. Sincerely.
Looking forward to next week, and meeting almost all of my special people. I do wish I could meet the rest.
Suzan
Aloha again Richard and 'posse' :)
The photograph at The Ayers Hotel is very nice indeed, like your shirt Richard! The 'old world' atmosphere at The Ayers is suberb, which can also be 'felt' in the previous photo of you sitting on the couch surrounded by beautiful carpets etc. My parents were avid Antique Collectors over a period of many many years in South Africa.
They both encouraged my Sister and I to appreciate the finer things in Life, such as the history of each Persian Rug, Abstract paintings, 'Still Life' etc. I own very little of what was once a part of my parent's treasury as most of it was auctioned off after their Passing, there was just too much for my Sister and I to keep and not worth shlepping it over to Canada at the time!
So much for material things, one can only 'carry' LOVE and that is THE most magnificent gift through Eternity! So, back to Romance and Adventure....Sweet Dreams!

Hello Richard, Sisters and Bloggers - I have been gone for a few weeks and have things changed. Would love to go to California but I am currently on my own adventure - biking down the Mississippi from Minneapolis to New Orleans. So the trip has been terrific - over 700 miles. Currently we are in St Charles, MO and will be riding through St Louis tomorrow - right past the arch. I went to Minnesota early to spend time with some of my family - brother, sister in law, there three childen and 8 grandchildren - always a great time. We loaded the bikes and went to Itasca State Park so that I could dip my rear wheel in the source of Mississippi - then over the next few days we rode through part of northern Minnesota - they have great bike trails.
Have a great rest of your evening

Aloha and Howdy Richard, Connie and Judi :)
Having fun on the Blog!
By the way we haven't heard from the 'ole rich geezer for a long time, wonder if he and his gal plan to stay at The Ayers and shmooze amoungst y'all incognito:) Afterall he met his Ladylove through SeniorBachelor.com, would be nice to get an update on his travels with his 'sweetie' :) just hope his demeanor is a little more subdued (subDUDE:) and that his Ladylove has a calming influence on his otherwise 'abrasive' manner:)
enquiring minds wanna know!!!! :)

Well, I promised Someone (and Su..., you know who you are!) I'd post this little email I got today, so enjoy!
Subject: Man on the Moon
Guaranteed to make you smile.... Especially since it's a True Story.
On July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.
His first words after stepping on the moon, "That's one small step for man, One giant leap for mankind", were televised to earth and heard by millions.
But just before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark, "Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky".
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival soviet cosmonaut.
However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian Or American space program.
Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to the "Good Luck,Mr. Gorsky..." statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.
On July 5,1995, in Tampa Bay, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong! .
This time he finally responded.
Mr. Gorsky had died, so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.
In 1938 when he was a kid in a small midwest town, he was playing baseball with friends in the backyard.
His friend hit the ball, which landed in his neighbors yard by the bedroom window.
His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky.
As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs.Gorsky shouting to Mr. Gorsky.
"Sex! You want sex?! You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on The moon!"
True Story....
And one more (just to keep you chuckling):

1.Pass My Shotgun
2.Psychotic Mood Shift
3.Perpetual Munching Spree
4.Puffy Mid-Section

7.Pardon My Sobbing
8.Pimples May Surface
9.Pass My Sweatpants
10.Pissy Mood Syndrome
11.Plainly; Men Suck
12.Pack My Stuff

Test blog again.....I have tried to send off 2 long blog responses here and neither took..I'm off to bed...
sbsister2 sorry you were having blog problems tonite...we were looking forward to hearing more from you girls!
We were all pretty challenged at first...better luck tomorrow!
I give up..I have written 3x, long posts and none have gone thru..it seems if I spend more than 30 seconds on an entry, it won't go thru...Nitey Nite all....Judi
hey girl.....sbsister2...this one got thru!! Nitey Nite All!!!!
Linda
Hey Sisters,
Try writing the longer blogs in WORD and then copying and pasting them to the blog. That way if you have trouble you won't lose what you have written.
sbsister2
Just a suggestion...Highlight everything you typed (before you send it) and hold down Ctrl+C. This will copy everything you typed. Then click once to unhighlight everything. (So you don't erase it) If it disappears when you try to publish it, you can then put your cursor in the box and hit Ctrl+V and Voila!
This will paste everything back.
It will save alot of time retyping it. Sometimes I will paste it into an email to myself until I can figure out what's going wrong. Then recopy it (Ctrl+C) and repaste it where you want it (Ctrl+V).
Nothing is more frustrating than trying to put thoughts together and then have them disappear. AAARGGGG
Hello Richard! Hope this has been a wonderful day for you! Thanks so much for sharing your sisters with us!
A special welcome to Connie (SB1) & Judi (SB2)!! So glad to ‘meet’ you! Connie – I lived in The Keys when I was growing up – in Islamorada … right across from Cheeca Lodge. After we moved - my folks bought property on Indian Waterways in Tavernier … and that was our summer retreat every year. When they retired – that is where they first lived. I love it down there! Have many fond memories!! Judi … I’ve never lived in Long Island – but I once went to a camp on Shelter Island – off of Long Island. Many moons ago. : )
We will look forward to hearing from both of you … and to learning more about Richard – through you!
And … see, Linda!! I told you!! : ) Richard’s sisters think you are perfect!! for him!! I knew it!!!! : )
Hey Cheryl! Been missing you! Glad to see you posting … and hope your show is going well. Can't wait to see more pics!!
Babette: – How has the move been going? Are you all settled yet? Or still unpacking boxes?
Ann / Ladejag: The main advice that I can give about posting your picture … is be patient. Very, very patient!! I had mastered The Blog, The Italics, Bolds & Blues … but the little pic on the Profile was a tough one!! It took me a while … and Babette helped me figure it out. I wrote instructions on my Blog under: “Hello Senior Bachelorettes” / Posted 7/21/05 … if Babette did not already send you the info. Good luck. Remember … patience! : )
Hi Lilypads and DP BeachGirl! Welcome to the land of the Bloggettes … and one lucky Blog-Guy. (And probably a few Anonymous Blog-Guys … and one Blog-Geezer – from time to time)!
Sunni: – You can hang next week with Babette, Cheryl and those of us not able to make it to MB. We’ll all be jealous together … and waiting for every update!
Chandra: Chi-Town Girl will be in Chicago … and a few others have mentioned wanting to go. And I am hoping to be able to come as well. If … if … if … I can finish a video that I’m working on in time (not the SB video – ha ha). Also – I think as soon as Richard posts a confirmation on those dates – we will start the list for that as well. In the meantime … we will celebrate with our Sisters who are going to MB!
‘Night Everyone!
Brenda
Hi clickgirl brenda...Thanks for the Welcome.......I'm surprised it took so long for someone to notice me as the new blogger on the block....you are all quite a "click"....MB should prove to be a memorable event.....
SUNNI, What high school does you son go to? I was at Lake Oswego for 5 yrs.
Hello there Richard
I would like to thank you for your kind words, after my last post.
I sense you are a very sensitive man and that is an important ingredient, to lasting Love and there fore happiness.
The Love you have inside shall be your guiding light to finding the right one.
I once attended a conference and one of the guest speakers was Essai Morales, his devotion to the cause of helping children to read touched me deeply.
Afterwards I had the honour of meeting him in person and amongst many things he had this to say:
''It is so very important to know how to read but it is more important to be able to also
READ BETWEEN THE LINES! ''
I would also like to thank the ladies for sharing their generous thoughts and taking the time to share what touches their hearts with their friends.
Love is really all there is,
nothing else matters
To Dreamweaver you caused me to shed a tear first....
Oh! and Richard I know this has all become a bit much, I am glad to see you have a great support system
A warm welcome to your two sweet sisters
nite nite
Ladies, dpbeachgirl, and Richard: dpbeachgirl don't think that anyone in this group is a 'clique'!! We have all been commenting for a couple of months and getting to know each other...None of us have ever even seen one another...Welcome to the group..We are a group of honest, open, and forthright women who love deeply and speak our mind when required, lol...I have never seen your posts before...Anyway, look us up...Just remember lead, follow, or get out of the way, lol..
SB1 and SB2: Welcome to the blogs!! :) I was on Oprah too, and my daughter went on her site and made replies to several comments on that site...It must be kind of strange for both of you since it was Richard and not you who agreed to expose yourselves to the public...It is weird reading things about yourself from people who don't really know you at all...And, all of the women who are applying for the trip and romance would love to have your input...Even if you don't talk about Richard, just join in..WE ARE SO MUCH FUN, even if I do say so myself!! It will be great to meet everyone with whom I have chatted these last couple of months...I am not applying for the trip, but I sure think that Richard is so much better looking with his beard...What do you guys prefer??? Also, Richard your face is so red!! I sure hope that that is sunburn! Hope all of this excitement and stress hasn't caused heart or other health problems...
I am Irish...Kilpatrick: And, I still say don't be stressed:
DON'T SWEAT THE PETTY STUFF AND
DON'T PET THE SWEATY STUFF!! lol
Peace and Joy,
CJ

Good evening Richard and thank you for bringing your sisters on board. A warm welcome to Connie and Judy.
I have 2 brothers and one sister and we all live near each other. Our 84 year old mother sold her home 3 years ago and moved here to be near her "kids" (we're all in our 50's, but she often refers to my sister as her baby)LOL. I am the second child of four and I have 4 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life. I have a magnet on my refrigerator that says "If I had known grand-children were so much fun I'd have had them first".
Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought that I would be involved in something so extraordinary and exciting...
Welcome new bloggers, looking forward to hearing more from you. As CJ has said, we are certainly not a "clique". We have gotten to know one another through our blogs and it should be interesting to finally meet some of the ladies.
Sharon; You now have many sisters :)
Thank you also Doug Ayres and Ann Williams for hosting this event. I have never been to Tuscany but I'm sure I'll feel like I am there when I step into your beautiful hotel.
Okay, Connie and Judy, Let the talks begin...
Connie and Judi, welcome!
We are all very into Richard's adventure and are glad to hear that you have come aboard to help keep his chin above the water :)
Very much looking forward to reading your posts and learning more about you.
A late good night from the windy tropics.
Hi Richard, love the photo and the monumental fireplace. My relatives are from Italy. I have visited parts of Italy from a cruise ship, but I have not seen Tuscany nor Rome...I hope to someday.
Cheers and thanks for all the hard work and preparation for the 9/1 and 9/2 event...it sounds like it will be fun and I'm looking forward to meeting you!
Lilypad Were you aware that Leslie is from Vancouver and Zoe from Alberta and both are coming to visit in MB and of course our little Canadian Bloggette lives up there. I’ll let her answer your questions since it was directed to her.
Bndc So “Lil Bit” how is the move going? Are you done now? Can you play with us more? LOL We miss your crazy, crazy humor I do seem to jump around a lot don’t . Did you stay in the Kamloops area? Did I spell that right.
Ladejag I left a post on your blog. Good Job.
Chandra You’re on the NNBBSH site now and I love the Red…..that’s a joke with us and Richard you know. LOL I don’t know if you were reading about us all dying our hair red because someone said RR liked red hair. Lovely lady.
VJ aka Dreamweaver aka Out of Africa aka Senior Bachelorette Wheeewws! Rich Old Geezer’s been over on my site, we’ve had to send him to the naughty mat. VERY INTERESTING THAT YOU WOULD ASK and right after he started posting on my sight. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thinking about that one. Is it a coincidence that you would ask at the very time he shows up? Hmmmmmm. Could you be his little lovely that he’s speaking about? Let’s see weren’t you talking about an accident you were involved in and waiting on the settlement and Rich Old Geezer was talking about his gal pulling her video for personal reasons. Hmmmmm Inquiring mines want to know? Did you hook up with Rich Old Geezer? Come on you can tell us.
Zoe I’m cracking up at 2:00am those were great jokes. Mine was always number 10. LOL
Phyl Hey where’s all the support ? Have you grown tired of us already?
Well I finally finished some of the much needed work on our new business that my daughter and I have started…..data entry trying to build up the website. I really just wanted to be retired. LOL
If anything I’ve said offends anyone, remember that when I am typing, I always have a smile on my face – VJ please be offended by my remarks, I’m the mouthy one. Happy says I’m as subtle as a 2X4 hitting you across the chest. LOL
Sweet Dreams
Hugs
Suzanne
Hello Connie and Judi, We all want to be your sisters-in-law, are you up for all of us????lol. I think it's cool that you are supporting your brother this way. I have a younger brother with whom I feel joined at the hip almost. He actually lives in the house behind mine so we have a really nice time.
Desertflower, I don't have a recent photo for the NNBBS website. I do have a photo of me in costume from 04 if that would be alright for the website. I like singing all kinds of music, I just don't get a lot of opportunity to do so. This Torch Songs book I'm bringing has a CD of piano accompaniment with it so all I would need is a CD player and I'm ready to go....lol. It would be an honor to sing for Richard and all the ladies if that came about....I would probably be a nervous wreck though....lol!!!
Richard, I too would love to see you back in a beard and mustache..:) Thank you for putting up the photo of you and our hosts at the Ayres Hotel. I never thought in a million years that I would be participating in such a life changing event, the SB search for a traveling partner. What a wonderful mission for you and the woman who will be your life partner! I'm hoping to get my materials sent to you before the first but if not I'll be bringing them to the Party.
Richard..."Dream a little dream of me"
The Operawench
Operawench Please do send in that photo to Linda, I think it would be perfect.
Dear SB Sisters, req. Bloggers and Richard,
Welcome! I am just on a short break at work and here is where I want to spend it. :-)
I am adopted so very open to this wonderful opportunity of friendship. When I was little, I used to say, "I could adopt anyone as my friend or sister." I/We can still do that.
I never really spent a lot of time with girls/ladies doing the female things, untill this Adventure. The quality of Ladies here is where I want to soar.
My possible Dream is still: We're once, twice, three times Ladies, and we Love it. Our value is HELPING. I don't think Richard could make a mistake with any of us.
About Photoes; my notes are home, but I do remember that I couldn't get profile(URL) from Hello, etc. So I went to: photobucket.com I can use it to get and hold photoes from anywhere, My documents, etc. In Photobucket I can edit the phote, (EDIT)resize it to maybe 75%, go down a bit on the page where I can RT. click (copy) the URL, then go back to my Blogger profile and (paste) it in the photo URL line. If photo is over 50 whatevers in size,(photobucket will tell you its size), it won't fit in profile and you can go back to photobucket for another Edit. I got some pictures too small and had to Delite them and start over. Maybe this wwill help someone.
I still can't always get them posted on the Blogs like I want, I think mainly because I don't always scroll through each whole screen and miss some of the directions or my hands touch a wrong key. This is certainly an exercise in learning more patience.
If you see me with my Honda, you will know I got another click right.
I have a few days off, so I'll try for that photo again.
Love and best wishes,
Mary Rose
Dear Richard and Friends<
(Friends now includes the SB sisters)
PS, What ever became of our generic simple Bio's that we talked about in the last session? And the bullutin board? (To better get to know this collage of characters)? Even if we just know that there would be a blank board, MAYBE IN THE SHARRED GENERAL HOSPITALITY AREA, we would know in time to bring things for possibleFUN postings and the all important PICTURES.(I can understand if you would suggest "NO THONGS, PLEASE".)
We hope to be a HIGH Beenchmark for the Chicago group. Some might say "A Hard Act to Follow."
More FUN!
Thanks in advance.
Mary Rose
Aloha Richard, Connie and Judi!
Before I forget the news is showing a possible hurricane heading Florida Keyes way, thoughts and prayers for you and yours living in that area. I have never met the 'ole geezer, I am certainly not his Ladylove :) in fact I only write on Richard's Blog and always sign my name Vj...'dreamweaver'....'out of africa' Senior Bachelorette etc. etc. :) This is sooo funny that I should ask about the 'ole geezer now talk about timing!!!!! Yes I had a terrible fall April 1st 2004 and emergency surgery April 2nd, but doing well and the arm is healing nicely with my weekly physiotherapy sessions. I am still waiting patiently to meet my Soulmate, who knows maybe it is destined to happen through my connecting here !
Looking forward to the 1st Cruise what a FUN time it will be and THE most romantic way to travel too!

SBsister1 (connie) -- makes sure bro gets a haircut -- don't forget the nose and ear hairs-- you know what I mean :)
BDNC-- where's the photo of DesertFLowers on the NNBBS site ??? We need that adorable face on there. OH -- you can't decide which photo to use?? The one with the Pebbles -hair of course....
Desert Flowers is on that site, NNBBSH1 - her name is Suzanne!
Nancy

HELP! How do I put my picture on the Blog? I downloaded Hello but what do I do next?
Thanks, Nancy
MaryR I'll check into getting a bulletin board where we can display our bios. I think your idea was really good. Would you mind to repost your suggestion over on my sight so I can copy it down. You are an amazing woman, have you seen the new pictures of woman on NNBBSH site. Lots of women of all ages are coming to this meeting. I'm so excited to meet each and everyone.
No photo of Suzanne -- its blank on the site that BDNC put together :(
Morning Sbsister1 and Sbsister2 Well the Rich Old Geezer (ROG) is over on my site, complaining about Richard again. I have a question for you ladies. Does Richard drink or has he ever had a drinking problem? Realizing that Richard is rather private about some things - I just wonder why the ROG would say that about him.
The reason I ask is that ROG says that he does and he knows Richard in a social arena. Now our little Richard said he didn't drink and I would say a large portion of us ladies don't drink either. I am a health nut.
Do we get to ask you direct questions about Richard? Ah....but will you answer them! LOL
Hugs Suzanne
Where are the sisters?
They're consulting with Rich Old Geezer (ROG) AKA Jonathan.
HaaaaaaaaHHAAAAAAAAAA
Linda Yea where are they!! I need questions answered. LOL
Dreamweaver Hope all goes well with your healing process. It is ironic that you would ask about the Old Geezer, right after he showed up on my sight. LOL
Gotta go to work....Connie aka sbsister and Judi need input, we're data junkies.
hugs Suz
Hey Ladies!
Suzanne was sent back to the site.. you know her.. .now you see her here and then you don't... *lol* First, it was CB missing, and then it was Suzanne. :-)
I guess it depends who's been being naughty or nice eh? I am still packing and really busy but i just can't stay away from YOUs.
Linda will get all our photos in our NNBBSH site soon, so don't forget to send her your pictures. Are RR sisters joining the NNBBSH girls?
Anway, I just thought to pop in and say hi....

Aloha Richard and 'posse' :)
Where do I begin? :) If y'all paid attention you would've noticed our
'little BIG man Richard' referred to himself as old geezer on one of the Blogs here. I guess he feels that he fits in to the 'geezer category' :) mmmmm interesting!
Our 'original' Rich 'Ole Geezer who now seems to have lost his 'incognito status' according to 'anon' has a name ...Jonathan!
Who knows whose who here,photos,names the whole shabang! I liked the idea that Richard put forward much earlier on in the Blogs referring to 'the guessing game' keep a low profile until the guys and gals finally meet! Alas wid all the photos going up on the NannyNannyBooBooSisterhood Gallery
site we are now gettin' to see the whose who:) Richard mentioned in the beginning that he was not a drinker or smoker, ditto to that hopefully most of us are not, BUT I enjoy a glass of good Red Or White wine now and then in a social capacity.I quit smoking 4 years ago and am healthier for it!
Richard you definitely look GOOD with a beard and moustache:)as I previousely said, adds an 'aura' of wisdom to your persona!

Theres someone named old geezer here on the blog, who says my brother drinks, has a drinking problem, he "knows"..Old geezer is wrong...As shown in my brothers film Pop +Me, our father had a drinking problem...Which caused Connie, myself and Richard to all be very anti-drinking...Judi
just happened again--a long(no longer than anyones elses tho) didn't go thru..GRRRRRRRRRR
In response to Linda's post as to "where are the sisters"..we are here just both on vacation here in NY....So not alot of time at home to play blog....I'm going to make my entries short and see how that works...J~
Ok shoert entries seem to be working..
ok...I will answer asmuch as I can so you all can have a sister's view of him,but Co
