HEY CHAP...good to hear from you...your always welcome to party with Ole Drew! The more the merrier and no need to take them shades off...my glowing personality would just hurt your eyes anyway!<P>Hey sorry to hear about the "creepy cruds" (as my dad used to call being sick) That stuff is a bit in the back mid section (PS...Butt) I am glad your up and around though...been wondering where you have been!<P>I have the Corona's on ICE! By the way, I think Murph has "his girl" anyway. Haven't heard from Mitzi in a few days, so Boo Hoo for Drew! LOL<P>Mitzi...are you okay? Just a busy gal are ya! I bet this weekend is about time to get the party rollin' huh?<P>Gina...how was your day? Didn't you say you have a trip coming up. Hey swing through Nebraska and pick me up...I need a break from this place. hey Dana wants a road trip too! I think we could have a MAJOR trip for sure!<P>To all...WAKE UP and let the good times begin...it is almost TGIF...WHEW!!!!!!!<P>Cheers Chap! GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU...Get well sooner okay! <P>Drew

Drew,<P>I've been around! You've just been paying so much attention to Gina, you haven't noticed me! LOL LOL LOL Murph, on the other hand, hasn't neglected me!<P>I'll be around all weekend. (Unless I go for some kind of road trip!) I only have to work about 5 hours tomorrow so I'll be checking in early. I may even be here at the same time you guys are! <P>Mitzi

Drew - we have to have a talk. <P>You sound like a serious party animal - skirt chasing - beer drinking - not quite up to my standards unprincely kind of guy.<P>Do you think that fellow in the Leslie Ann Warren version of "Cinderella" would ever have treated her this way. Flirting with all those other women, etc.<P>I'm back but looking for quality. I am not to be mistaken for one of the teeming masses of women following you around.<P>By the way, when will the wine arrive?

OOOOO...I just got scolded by a Princess...man I kind of like that <P>Seriously, I have fun...NOT a skirt chaser at all...I admit to being a flirt for sure! It is healthy! Keeps the heart ticking!<P>Dag nabbit. that Wine isn't there yet? The Royal UPS Driver must have drank it all. Dang he better not have, It was sippin' wine to be enjoyed by the tongue and palet NOT to be guzzled!<P>I will have to put a tracer on it, or just follow its trail myself! LOL<P>Glad your back...Drew is again<P>

I'm glad to know you're not a skirt chaser.<BR>Don't care for that sort of guy. But how can I be sure you're not pulling my leg?<P>On a serious note, I'm glad your in-laws want to keep you. I am fortunate to still have a good relationship with mine. However, every now and then my mil and I almost have little flare-ups and we have learned that it's ok to say that we can't continue that part of the conversation. (She is the grandmother of my children so I do need her for their sakes but, as the mother of the biggest jerk and the greatest king of denial I ever met, she really provokes me sometimes.) I still love them though I wouldn't take a pluggged nickel for their son. Isn't it nice to know that someone in the other partner's family likes you even though...........<P>But moving on to more cheery stuff, of which kingdom are you the prince? Need to know primary industries, political history, GNP, other pertinent stuff. After all, I want to be a princess in the know.

HUMMMMM...Prince of the Kindom of Tan House is all. Sad huh! but at least I have two charges to care for...NO not kids, a dog and cat...hahahaha<P>Democratic of Nature and political affliation, Fair, open, HONEST, forward and a wise butt! But always a good listener<P>I am the sorter of thoughts before I speak, MOST of the time! I have "spouted off" a time or two. I am very different in my work then at home though! The Dr. Jekyl, Mr. Hyde sydrome, NOT to say I am a [censored] at the office, but just run a tight operation! Home I shut off WORK and have fun! Let the hair down if you will. course I don't have long enough hair to let down either. You know what I mean!! LOL<P>Turn ons: Fun and FUNNY people. I don't care if your a goof, just be fun! I like the road trip things. I have always been one that can on a weekend morning wake up, shower get in the truck and GO, no plan no direction, just go, well that is to say I also would take you along <P>Turn offs: Gum smacking, food smacking, people that are "stuck on themselves" Not to say I don't like confidence, but there is a HUGE difference in the Drew Book of life! I also am not big on IDIOTS (meaning rude people that ask for you opinion, but don't care either) LOL<P>Got more questions, I am here...Ask away! LOL<P>Drew <P>PS...what do I do? UM I am one of them Environmental Type People! I am the guy that helps keep America Beautiful! LOL...I try at least! LOL<P>Mostly I work with industrial companies on pollution prevention waste reduction, best management practices.<P>Can't wait to see what Murph says...and if you say I am a geek I shall hurt ya Murph! <p>[This message has been edited by Blue Drew (edited August 04, 2000).]

Cindirelli,<P>What is it that you do when you have to put your long flowing hair up and partake in activity of the laborious nature?<P>Or do princesses need not labor in the glorious fun filled work week? What doth do for thy living?<P>Oh I also live volleyball and basketball, so if there is sand close, I shall bring the net and ball, cometh one, cometh all, hey I have to keep this big old teddy bear frame in check you know. that is how I work out! LOL<P>Drew

Homemaker turned devastated woman turned photography student currently in shock over having made a decision to follow something that may have been a stupid choice budgetarily. <P>Right now I'm spending some time as a church secretary. I'm doing the slides for the powerpoint presentations we do for our Sunday morning worship services. <P>Previously I spent 10 yrs. in human resources with state of Tennessee. I've been home for 9-1/2 years before beginning the church thingy in May. Obviously, I don't want to do this forever. Doesn't pay well enough but it pays better than doing nothing.<P>For pleasure, I like to cook (not clean up though), read, do needlework, hang out with the 4 beasts (2 human and 2 feline) which inhabit by humble castle. I could live out of a suitcase. Children and no money make that a tough proposition, though.<P>Love smart, articulate, broadly educated people. Love to laugh. Love music (varied -am raing a 7 yr old who has been a B. B. King fan for more than 4 years and who sat transfixed through one of his shows 3 yrs ago) as well as all those other artsy things a princess would love. Love to go dancing (yeah, that's right I'm a church secretary in need of a dancing buddy). Also, would love to find good looking, healthy (in all the important ways-physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially), well-dressed, articulate, intelligent, humorous, single, Christian guy but I have a feeling my standards are too high and I have become too independent to find the man of my dreams.<BR><p>[This message has been edited by cinderella (edited August 04, 2000).]

OK,Drew,<P> Forget about even"trying"to hurt me.<BR> <BR>They may grow'em big and dumb in Nebraska,but here in Washington we're faster and meaner!<BR> It's all that constant rush hour traffic,road rage,and too much Espresso! <P> I've seen a superviser at work go up and tap a guy on the back to give him his paycheck,and"BOOM",he was on the floor in 2 seconds flat!!<BR> Happens all the time,supervisers are used to it...........<BR> <BR>If you come to Seattle,you keep your eyes open,and always be ready to duck,and cover!<P> I suppose you're one of those conservative, tree-hugger,don't shoot the spotted owl,save the Rainforest types? <BR> <BR>Only kidding.......I'm a nature lover myself.This used to be a nice city until industry,more people,cars,houses,and pollution moved in.I'll probably move one of these days.<P> Keep up the good work.........<P><BR> ~~Murph<P> <BR>

Um lets sit back a second and survey this comment!<P>See you "all" maybe faster, but meaner? REALLY? Um I grew up on BEEF, CORN Taters and in a wieght room. Wish I still did that, but hey I still got it...LOL Guess there is a reason I am 6-6 240...LOL..actually that in GENES, but hey whatever works, I Be a Big Boy...LOL<P>Hard to be a prince in shining armour though Cindirelli! I manage though I promise! LOL<P>So I will agree with you, you may be a tad bit quicker that I...but Murphy my friend, MEANER...Nah uh! LOL <P>Anyway, it is GREAT to see that someone else takes care of the environment. I don't pretend to be a tree hugger, I am the guy that keeps industry clean so those little guys/gals (trees) can grow up big without breathing the "s**t" we breath! Although, I am happy to report, in the select area's that have trees here in Nebraska, they are GREAT!<P>We are afterall the home of "National Arbor Day" LOL Seriously we are! Kinda cool.<P>Hey anyone out there got a great lead on jobs wherever you are? I need a change in life now! a big ole move is right up Drew's alley right now!<P>Printing, Sports Writing, photography, Environmental Services/Consulting, or something in the "service area" <P>According to Gina at least, I am a Yard Stud, so heck, I could travel the country with my Truck towing my mower and assist those in need of a Yard Stud I guess!<P>Keep ole Drew in mind here friends...LOL<P>Murph...seriously...how you doing? Feeling better and better now? At least for now?<P>Give ya s**t, but do care!<P>Drew <P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Murphy:<BR><B> OK,Drew,<P> Forget about even"trying"to hurt me.<BR> <BR>They may grow'em big and dumb in Nebraska,but here in Washington we're faster and meaner!<BR> It's all that constant rush hour traffic,road rage,and too much Espresso! <P> I've seen a superviser at work go up and tap a guy on the back to give him his paycheck,and"BOOM",he was on the floor in 2 seconds flat!!<BR> Happens all the time,supervisers are used to it...........<BR> <BR>If you come to Seattle,you keep your eyes open,and always be ready to duck,and cover!<P> I suppose you're one of those conservative, tree-hugger,don't shoot the spotted owl,save the Rainforest types? <BR> <BR>Only kidding.......I'm a nature lover myself.This used to be a nice city until industry,more people,cars,houses,and pollution moved in.I'll probably move one of these days.<P> Keep up the good work.........<P><BR> ~~Murph<P> <BR> </B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

OK,Drew,<P> Ya got me on that one.<BR> You are a big guy,I'm 6'1"and about 210.<BR> But the city stress here does make you mean,unfortunately.I'm really a big pussycat,just ask Mitz.........<P> A change? That would be nice.Perhaps a lighthousekeeper on the coast? Something simple.<P> Jobs in the service industry?You're in luck.I stopped at Burger King,and they had a"Help Wanted" sign out front.<BR> Also,I think Lora is looking for a Yard Stud.She lives by me,but I'm all booked up.<P> I'm doing OK.Thanks for asking.This divorce thing,along with my folks moving down south,has been on my mind.Amazing how fast life can change,huh? Never been real comfortable with change,but I got forced into it.I'll make the most of it,I guess.<P> Catch Ya'll later.Take care.<P><BR> ~~Murph

hahahahahahaha...Burger King huh. NOT...Hate their Fries, so can't do that Murph!<P>Now the lighthouse gig, that sounds really good to me! as long as I have power/juice and phone line and a computer..LOL<P>But I know what you mean with that change thing! MY WHOLE "D" as I look back on it started way back in 98' Lost my dad in 94, and mom in 99, both cancer. That is when I PULLED away from the W and even sisters too!<P>Mom and Dad gone, support gone, (so I thought) But then the W brings me back, but then loses herself in the mix of it all, even while she is getting me from the depths of that Depression Devil!<P>Change in that way SUX! Change in what you and I and MANY others on this D Board are going through SUX, but it isn't all bad, change I mean!<P>I am really read to start my engine again and start over here. I have never lived anywhere else but Nebraska, well Iowa while the W went through Law School, but that doesn't count, only difference is Iowa has corn and pigs, Nebraska has corn and Cattle...LOL<P>So I am feeling sort of "adventurous" the way I see it, if I am going to get my roots planted AGAIN somewhere else, NOW is the time! I turn 36 in Sept. and ain't gettin' any younger! So best go now!<P>I know I will NEVER lose the love I have for my STBX, but I also know that I can love again for sure! I feel I have a bit to offer another fine lady, Just need to refocus and jump start this heart again!<P>Till we chat again! Take care Murph<P>Is anyone awake tonight? Come and party with me, or at least talk!<P>Drew

Hey Mitz<P>Is Murph really a pussycat?<P>I don't doubt he is, but need to make sure! The way I see it he can be a Husky or a Cougar, Which is it Murph? You know U of Wash. or WSU?<P>LOL...I am Cornhusker through and through! I got red blood running through these veins, sorry just the old sports writer coming out in me there!<P>

Murph,<P>Thanks to you, my kids now think I have lost my mind!! I read your comment about Burger King and busted out laughing!!! LOL LOL LOL<P>Drew,<P>You sound like me. Ready for change. I've lived in the same town on the same road for all of my 31 years. I'd love to move. My parents would freak out if I did. They think of me as helpless.<P>Oh, BTW, I need a Yard Stud! Any volunteers???  <P>Mitzi

LOL LOL LOL I'll sweet talk either my dad or my oldest son into doing it! <P>Now if I could just get the housework done! It would probably be easier if I got offline! LOL NOT!!!<P>Mitz
