Hi Nimsy Saw your comments in Dave's messages regarding friendly fire. I know it sounds strange to hear the word friendly in conjunction with someone shooting at you. In fact in this instance friendly refers to the people rather than the shooting. In a wartime situation you hope that, if you must get shot at that the people shooting at you are not your friends. However, sometimes due to bad intenligence your friends can mistake you for the ennemy (for a variety of reasons) and they end up shooting at you. Hence a friendly fire situation. A good example is an incident in Afghanistan where a US pilot shoot at and killed 4 Cdn soldiers on the ground. Commonly referred to as a friendly fire incident.Unfortunate but they happen.

Hi, dancin`queen...glad your weekend was good. It`s nice to relax, especially after you were so sick. The retirement party was fun. Saw and caught up with alot of pals. We promised to keep in touch more often and have already planned a trip to NYC in Sept. for The Feast of San Gennarro in Little Italy. Lots and lots of good food!! Sorry the Cav`s were crushed by the Spurs. I`m a baseball and football fan...New York teams, of course. Soooo, you watch The Soprano`s?? Can`t believe it`s over. I`m going to go through withdrawal syptoms on Sunday nights. I thought the writing of the final episode was brilliant. David Chase surprised once again. The whole country coming up with possible endings and he chooses not to end it with a bang, but just be enigmatic, as usual...keeps you guessing and still caring about what the characters` futures hold. I`m going to miss it. Okay, Mimi, I do love garlic stuffed olives..I like anything to do with garlic. Talk to ya later...Joanie

Mimi, hope weather does not "deflate" balloon plans, but wine is fine, too. Oh, I forgot to add that Dad is april 10th and Mom`s August 1st. I don`t think you said too much regarding the guys, but say the word and I will delete. Think we have lots in common too, Mimi. For one thing I love your wit and writing and music tastes from what I know. Now we both have to work on photography!(LOL) I`ll probably be back on the boards tonight after the dinner party. If you don`t get home too late, stop by. I try and get in touch with Leo while he sips his morning coffee or has a spot of lunch...these time zones! Joanie
said clover218
Mornin, Mimi mate! See that music is the message, as of late. Good, I don`t have to change my profile pic for awhile! Ready for the balloons, tonight? I`m going to a friend`s retirement party that`s being held at this microbrewery/restaurant. Will have to test a new lager or ale. Not sure what the menu is, probably a choice of a fish, chicken or beef entre. About 50 people are attending. I have not seen some of them in eons. I retired early cause of the car crash thing. Mimi, I do have someone in my life for 28 years, but can`t elaborate on a public message board. Maybe some day I can share with you. Nothing to do with adultry or cheatin`...ain`t my thang. Username is clover because shamrock was refused by WS. They said it was already taken or something. The 218 is a sister`s B`Day. I have 2 sisters and one brother. They were all born in Feb.(18th,20th,21st)! I`m way out there in Leo Land(Aug. 9th). Whadda ya make of that? Talk to you later....Joanie

said Leonslens
Good Morning, Mimi. Okay, now I understand about your lungs and my suggestin` antibiotics...no can do, right? About 10 years ago, I was in a horrible car accident...some kid ran a red light and broadsided me. I was air lifted to the hospital. My left lung was punctured, the right one collapsed, 9 broken ribs, lacerated kidneys and liver, fractured vertabrae and hip bone and they had to remove my spleen as it ruptured. I was in a coma for a while(medically induced). They gave me a 50/50 chance of survival. I have NO memory of the accident. Anyway, have no idea why I just told you all of this! Oh right, lungs...can`t live with them, can`t live without them. When I left the hospital I had lost 20 pounds. I call it my "crash" diet. Okay, to change the subject, the hot air balloon happening sounds great and a great Photo Op. Take pics!! Mimi, been meaning ta ask you, who are "your guys" in the band? Well, better go, this was a loooog message. Talk to you later, friend. Joanie

Electric fence, hey? Sharp. You're quick, girl. I bet you're a member of Mensa, too.
said DaveMullany
Incidentally, I'm sure everyone knows that, before the studio hatchet-men got hold of Ridley Scott's finished work, the denouement reveals that Decker himself is a Replicant. Yes, well: do androids dream of electric sheep?
said DaveMullany
Yes - but then Decker would find you and blow you away with that hand cannon of his. Loved that movie (bought the director's cut on DVD). One of the great short 'n' sweet lines of modern cinema. "Time to die..."
said DaveMullany
Mimi..if you were a Replicant you'd never get Sick..just get plugged in every few yrs and updated...dont let Dave know...Ciao
said Leonslens
Mimi, HMO`S...don`t get me started. I have to deal with Health Ins., Doc`s, medical approvals for special tests for both of my elderly parents and it`s a...nightmare. Hard to practice preventative medicine, if they prevent ya from it! Gee, hope you find a doctor in the house today, in the meantime, what about regular GP instead of pulmonology guy/gal...just to give antibiotics, if needed. Well, no rain today and it`s HOT(72 degrees, but feels warmer). Mimi, do like good ol` CCR?... Lookin` out my back door. Oh, don`t cough near Bloody Mary`s. LOL. Really, hope you feel brandy new soon(hmmm...brandy). Joan

Okay, you the mixmaster of the Blody Mary`s(I like horseradish in mine) and I found this big jar of spicy marinated asparagus for decor, instead of celery. The food talk...all good, we love to talk about food around here...how about a clambake, too. While sipping and guzzling...we listen to Wasted away again in Margaretiville(but we`ll pace ourselves to make the day last). Later, fellow Ya Ya Sister, Joanie
