we interrupt this blog to bring you a necessary Public Service Announcement:
2008 April 17
sigh – i made fun of Tam (inProgress) again – this time calling her middle-aged. and, now i have to grovel. the whole ugly saga can be found way down in the last layers of comments here.
after reading this, please resume conversation about what to say and what NOT to say in the most ill-timed post below.
nobody panic. tam loves me. this is all in good fun.
I AM CRYING FROM LAUGHING SO HARD!!!!!
Oh my gosh!
You are TOO much!!!
My beauty secret?
i don’t make fun of people.
that i know.
hahahahaha where did you get this form? I know a couple of people I should send one to…
Tam 8 years older?? that makes me as old as dirt! Geezzzzz!
Tam: beauty secret = not making fun of people? i’m getting uglier every day… i hang my head in shame……
Darla: yes. she’s practically a decade older than me… but i can’t say that on the www, or else she’ll kill me all over again!
http://www.bureauofcommunication.com
they have all manner of official forms there. it rocks!
Darla, you’re not old! You’re seasoned. More wise than us. More experienced. You are superior to us in that you’ve been here longer and can really show us the ropes.
(see how you do this Mandy)
i think you just called Darla old. but i’m not sure.
i’m taking notes – lemme try:
Tam: i truly believe that its always good for me to learn from older women… just like Paul wrote about in Titus chapter 2. you are a picture of that for me – older women teaching the younger women how to live.
thank you for being such a Godly example for me, Tam!
(how was that? was that back-handed enough for ya?)
So…let me get this straight…Tam is…37…? And that makes Mandy…29…?
So I guess I’m…Methuselah…?
Methuselah: Sharp! it appears that your math skills have not retired yet!
This is hilarious!!!!!
Mandy, I had no idea you were so young!
However, I am younger than “yaw” 
Maybe this is something I should be more embarrassed about than flaunting eh? 
I just said “eh”….the Noooooorth Dakooooota speak is getting to me.
Brandy: GIRL – don’t be embarrassed!! you remember that phrase? if you’ve got it, flaunt it!
eh?
OMG…. the both of you are too much! But it appears that we may need to see one of these from Ric so maybe the heat is off you Mandy!
Mandy thanks for adding the link to the forms site. Also thanks for getting my day off with a laugh, however 37 is old! Now you have offended me and Papa.
Expect to hear from my lawyers soon. 
If I can find the strength to drag my poor aged body to the phone.
Her middle name is “Jo” ???
Sean: you are SO right! Ric started this whole episode!!!!
Papa & Ed: do i have to fill out another official apology form??? and, YES, her middle name actually is Jo. muahahahahah!
Girl! And you were doing SO well for a moment!!!
LOL!!!!! you didn’t catch that??? you must not have read the official apology form…. tammy – are you losing your edge?
i guess i am losing my edge.
or my memory.
ya know, with the old age and all?
What! As one who is about to turn Forty-mumble in a couple of weeks, I should come your “yaw”… but my walker is in the shop. I’m getting it pimped out with spinners on the wheels. I’ll be able to plug my iPod into it so I can play music from back in the day…you know, the good ole days, the ’70’s.
70’s Yah!!!!
Fleetwood Mac and ABBA!!!
i was born in the 70s! does that make y’all feel any better?!?
Cheryl: take a pic of that walker after you get it pimped!
Tell you what, I’ll pass it onto you when you hit 30!
Mandy: See ‘Pimp My Walk’ May 12th edition!
70’s music ROCKS! (my ‘teen years’ – Ed want to do the math?
) America, Rod Stewart, Police and THE EAGLES! Great times and the introduction of cassette tape! (so i could record my mixes from vinyl!)
Tam – you know i Love you and you ARE so much younger than me, However sweetness i do have this thing about HONESTY!
“My beauty secret?
i don’t make fun of people.
that i know.”
Video rebuttal is all i’m sayin….
memory lapse perhaps??
you know what that means? >

Oh my word, oh my, oh….hahahahahahaha. I love that!
Hey Mandy,
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I would have replied to it sooner but my internet went down for a few days. Oh the joys of dial-up. Maybe one day I can get High-speed like the rest of the world.

shawn
Cheryl: haven’t you heard? i’m NEVER turning 30!!!
Love: THANK YOU for defending my honor!!!!! not making fun of people? yeah right! she’s lost it. she’s officially lost it.
Kim: YOU KNOW WE AIN”T RIGHT!!!!
