Thanks for all the good words regarding me dealing with my character-phobia. 🙂 Yes, Goofy is not intentionally dangerous to be around…luckily Pooh is not on the ship. If he was, he might find himself waking up with Eeyore’s head in bed with him…
And thanks for another Hello Skully shout-out… and make sure to include the “dash” in hello-skully.com Without the dash you end up at some jewelry website. That domain expires in August, I think, and will try to grab it then. I might just switch the branding over to Skully-Chan.com rather than making it an obvious parody of Hello Kitty. Most Americans don’t even know that the kitty in Hello Kitty is actually called “Kitty-Chan”.
And Heckle and Jeckle did have one of them saying “indubitably!” from time-to-time. Though, I just looked at their wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckle_and_Jeckle ) and it doesn’t mention that specifically.
Andrew Garfield did play Spider-Man in the last Spider-Man movie. I don’t have any problems with him, but I do think that Spider-Man movie was crap. But what else is new…
Bet, I agree regarding being there for loved one’s passings. My mom was right there for my step-dad’s last breath. I was glad she was there because he wasn’t at home in his bed and the thought did cross my mind that he might pass while he was in Hospice, so I’m glad she happened to be visiting.
Bet, I’m so sorry about the sermon that guy subjected you to during Granny’s funeral–talk about bad taste! Wow…
Though that Amazing Grace/House of the Rising Sun cover sounds pretty great 🙂
I’m with you ladies on Lance Armstrong. He is a dick–and there’s nothing worse than a dick that lies. Nobody likes a lying dick. Dicks should be standing up! And… has this part of my comment gotten dirty enough yet? Sorry, I’m sick–literally, I have a cold. So my sense of humor may be impaired… more than usual…
I should say that we Hucklebug listeners are nice to you guys because you’re pretty darn nice to us. So, it takes one to know one!! Or something like that…
“Friends with No Boundaries” are the best kind of friends you can have, Bet.
OK, I think I’m going to go lie down…
I’m still listening to episode 300 – I just can’t seem to stay ahead of you guys. Lots of love your way in 2013. My dream is to compose (yeah right, whenever I become a composer) a song for Ervin and I to play together – oboe and french horn – I’m sure it will delight everyone!! Super nasally-ness!!
Bet – not sure if you’ve had time to get started yet yet since episode 300 but my holiday-time guilty pleasure was watching Downtown Abbey seas 1 & 2 from Amazon Prime and then I just watched this past week the first 3 of seas 3 that I recorded. Very enjoyable!!
Howdy kids. Please send some warm air our way. I’ve had enough and the auxiliary heat has been on with my stupid heat pump system for three days. I don’t want to see my next electric bill. Why don’t they install actual heating systems here?
Hellow ladies! I hope this comment isn’t coming in too late. I just finished getting caught up. My new commute has me listening on the way to or from work, and because I’m driving, I can’t take notes. Frustrating? Yes, but you help make the gridlock traffic bearable.
A propos car: Yes. I do have a driver’s license. I have had one since I was 16. But let’s just say that I kept the receipt from the last time I purchased gas in my own car. And that gas cost me $0.98 a gallon. Ahhh those were the days!
Thank you for the polite driving tips. I’ve been waving and thanking and letting people in. You know what? People around here don’t wave.
Betster – I think you did a great tribute to Granny by talking about her wake and funeral on the podcast! We couldn’t all be there, but we could take some time during the podcast to think about what she brought to the world – and enjoy one of her very best accomplishments – BET!
I have a topic idea: The top 5 movie opening sequences. Think about it. Discuss.
Have a happy perio… podcast!
Just curious — is Bet mixing coffee, chocolate and cigarettes tonight?!
It was nice hearing the Granny stories woven throughout the show but Bet, can’t say I didn’t warn you about the Baptist preacher. Dad went to a funeral where he preached for 45 minutes! I almost sent him an anonymous note after I heard that. Apparently at church now, people just get up and walk out during the sermon when they’ve had enough!
so let’s see if anyone is paying attention this late…are you still there??
I fell down the grand stairs at work today…no, no one saw me..yes…i’m such a klutz…no, I didn’t break anything….yes, my right foot and knee hurt like a BITCH!!! But at least I was able to listen to the rest of the show…
Love you ladies
Still playing catchup here. What a wonderful tribute to your mom. I’m so sorry I never got to meet her since she seems like an absolute sweetheart, and of course, raised a daughter who is as sweet and compassionate as you are, Bet. Such wonderful memories and a reminder of the lives you touch every day.
On a personal note, I feel like I’ve been out of touch on autopilot for months now, and playing catchup with you guys has helped me get back on track. Thanks to you both. I hope this comment doesn’t get eaten, because I’ll never be able to rewrite it just right.
And finally, on a silly note, just found out when I try to type my name using Swype technology on my phone, it autocorrects “Patrick” to “ostrich”. Machines are bullshit, ladies, and they’re all out to get us.
Love, Ostrich MLL
