OK... I know.
This isn't about my Robert Pattinson Intoxication.
Well... although he is directly involved with this.
If it wasn't for Robert
I probably wouldn't have much of an idea who Tom was...
He was pretty much on the outside of my orbit
only intersecting when pictures like the above showed up.
But.
I have to say this...
The more I know about Tom
The more I WANT to know.
The more I like.
And really whats NOT to like?
He's pretty damn cute.
He's a member of the "BritPack"
His best friend is Robert Pattinson.
He obviously adores Kristen.
Did I mention he's all kinds of cute?
He is.
All kinds.
So I couldn't put this video in my blog
because it wouldn't let me...
But just watch it.
There are all kinds of similarities with Rob...
Besides the cute.
Oh so cute.
And last but not least...
Tom has a new movie coming out soon...
"Waiting for Forever"
(Out in Feb 2011)
(Out in Feb 2011)
With Rachel Bilson.
(She's all kinds of cute, too)
And this is the trailer.

Yes.
I still am intoxicated with Robert Pattinson.
Yes.
I still believe in Rob and Kristen.
Yes.
I'm a fan of Tom Sturridge.
Happy Birthday, Tom.
May you find
PEACE
LOVE
and
HAPPINESS.

I BLOODY LOVE THIS POST....A LOT!
Happy birthday Tom Sturridge, you beautiful, wonderful man.
Hip hip hooray *pulls hair 25 times*
Ok byeeeeeeeee
Liza
Happy Birthday to Tom! :)
Happy Tuesday Rose, Liza and all of my Roseland friends - have a good one!
Thanks for stopping by Smitty - glad to hear you are doing well. :)
Rose,
The new banner made me laugh. How appropriate for today.
“Tom and that other guy…..” LOL. Seriously, Rob and Kristen have a great friend in Tom. Hope he has an amazing birthday and great upcoming year.
Have a good day, Roselanders.
Happy, Happy Birthday Tom!!!
Your birthday year looks so bright
with Waiting For Forever and On the Road coming to theatres soon!!!
Cannot wait!!!!
It's hard for me to reconcile the goofball Tom we see in real life pictures and even Pirate Radio with the smoldering sexpot from photoshoots. He is such an adorable dork and now that I've seen how cute and goofy he is in Pirate Radio I just can't see him any other way. With his skinny little body he actually makes Rob look beefy. Which is a feat.
Happy Birthday cute, charming Mr. Sturridge!
Hi, Rose!
I wish you a wonderful day
filled with love and happiness
HAPPY birthday Tom.
Happy Birthday Tom! That is a great banner,Rose,that pic always makes me laugh.
Liza, please don't pull your hair 25 times sweetheart,you don't want a bald patch for Christmas!!
Happy Birthday Tom!!! May your day be as special as you are!
Liza-only fitting that you were first...
Smitty- happy to hear that you are great. Miss you around here.
Kami- love the divinity recipe. I have never made it since it is hard to make. Maybe one day I will. Your Nana sounds like she had/has a lot of spunk in her! I bet she was fun growing up.
We celebrated Christmas last night in my family because of differing schedules of everyone. I won the prize for most creative "white elephant gift"...go me!
Happy Tuesday all! I have a couple of recipes to share now that my week is getting less busy finally.
Rose,
Thank you that was great..he is deliciously handsome. I like how he is protective of our favorite girl too. Hope he has a fabulous birthday!
Hi Freddie..
Rose Darling-
I am blesses and honored to have you as my friend.
With all my love-
Syd
You know, I always felt sorry for the kids whose birthdays were so close to Christmas. Now I feel sorry for the parents of kids with birthdays near Christmas. See how your perspective changes?
Happy Tuesday to all.
Melinda,
Were your cookies appreciated?
Awesome job on first post Liza :)
I hope that wherever Tom's at and whoever he's with, he is having a great kind of day.
He is an amazing man and deserves all the happiness that life can bring him.
Happy Birthday Tom
Penny, feel sorry for spouses of those who have a birthday so close to Christmas too cause...it SUCKS
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TOM!
You are just so adorable!! I hope your birthday wishes come true.
SMITTY
Glad all is well. I've missed you, my friend. (HUGS)
Merry Christmas to you, Gruff and Syd.
Susan
Is this hot guy birthday day?
It's Jackson's birthday too? Oh, to be the lady with the birthday cake!
Gorgeous men are born in December! Just sayin'!
Susan
Hi Kami, Tracy, Susan, Liza, Penny, Kay, Katy, Melinda, 30 and all the rest I may have missed!!
I have been super busy lately but I had to make time to check today's post out :) Great job, Rose!! I really miss all of you and I hope after the holidays I will have a chance to be around more!
Happy Birthday, Tom!! I hope you have a day filled with peace and love with those that mean the very most to you :) Enjoy your day.
Smitty, Syd, and Gruff--have a Merry Christmas! May it be all that you wish :)
*Massive Hugs* to you all!
Leigh
Penny- I guess they liked them. They were all eaten. I'm sure they appreciated it.
I agree with you and Kami about the whole December b-days thing. My brother and best friend both have b-days around Christmas. The whole present buying thing is hard sometimes.
Tracy- Were you able to salvage the roof on the house???
Liza/Angelica- forgot to tell ya'll that we did the British thing with the crackers/crowns last night at our family Christmas (didn't know that was what it was until we did it, so the question Susan asked the other day makes sense now). The kids loved it.
Hello Syd- I see you popped in and out all ninja like. Hope all is well with you. Enjoy your day.
My Darling Syd...
It's pretty obvious how I feel about you.
Your Rose.
Leigh!!! *hugs* Good to see you my friend :)
Melinda.. I'm sad to report that the structural deficiencies were too great to salvage the roof. The whole project had to be scrapped. I am most disappointed as it gives the kiddo bragging rights this year since hers remains intact.
And we're trying to remember the names of all of Santa's reindeer right now..
We've got Dasher and Dancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen and of course Rudolph.. but I'm missing someone..
Help?
Happy Birthday TOM have a good one and a safe one love the pic Rose. DEB.
Tracy
PRANCER!!!!!!!!!
Prancer! Yes! That's it :) That would have made me crazy all day if I couldn't remember it.
It's kind of like when you try to name the seven dwarves and you're always forgetting that last one!!
So is it bad that I'm making my own child wrap some of her own Christmas gifts this year? In my defense, she did say she wanted to wrap as many gifts as she could!!
The seven dwarves
Sleepy
Dopey
Grumpy
Sneezy
Doc
Bashful
Happy
Woo Hoo! I'm on a roll, mama!
Top of the mornan to ya Rose & Roselanders.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!
Hope you have a great day....however you spend it with whoever you are with......Hopefully you will see "that other guy" and have a quiet drink together in celebration!....
21st of Dec hey! Do you know those who are born on the 3rd,12th,21st & 30th {all #3's) Are considered "lucky"......and I do know people who are indeed #3"s and I myself can see their luck from afar......so there you go...This is not BS BTW!
Suse!!
I so need you to be here when we have these discussions at home!! I *always* blank out on at least one name!!
w00t! Hubs is totally doing housework today! I love it when he's on vacation from work and gets bored!!! #Igetthedayoff!
Melinda - It wouldn't be Christmas without the crackers, I hope you wore your hat :)
Tracy - You're just being a good parent,letting her do what makes her happy!
My niece's birthday is January 2nd. Every year we forget until the shops are closed so I end up keeping one of her Christmas presents back to give her. This year my friend,whose birthday is on Thursday,is getting married on Monday and found out today that she's having a little boy so I feel like I should buy something separate for each occasion!!
My birthday is close to Christmas.. and it gets a little worse because of the actual day it's on.. seems everybody's got plans for that day/night!!
I can see how frustrating it is though, to already be stressed about what to get someone for Christmas, and then have to turn around and get someone something for their birthdays.
I always feel bad because people get so worried about stuff like that!! And then people get worried that I'm going to get upset if they don't celebrate my birthday as well as they could if it weren't so close to Christmas!!
Mostly, I'm content if people even remember it ;)
And Angelica.. I honestly did try to win this year.. but I got faulty materials.. but I'm a gracious loser and an let her enjoy talking smack to me for a few days because her house survived... plus, she's recovering from an injury.. so I'll be evn nicer than usual :)
There's always next year!!
Tom is a cutie.And a very good actor.If you haven't seen "the boat that rocked",please do.He's wonderful in it.I saw the "waiting for forever" trailer and i loved it.He's gonna rock the role.
Welllllllllll I know when your birthday is Tracy and I am compiling a British birthday parcel for you :-)(unfortunately, much as I'd love it, it's not me in a cardboard box...ta da!!!! he he)
The post is rubbish over here at the moment though.....so I'm just waiting for something to be delivered, then it will be on its way!
Hiya everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smitty I just saw you posted yesterday...sending you lots of love!
Hi to Syd too ;-)
It is also Jackson Rathbone's BirthDay!
great post, happy birthday tom!
Angelica- I totes wore the hat. It was hot pink! Any more news on if the hubby is going to be home in time? I believe I saw that Heathrow was allowing flights again.
Tracy- Well bummer about the house. At least it was tasty. :)
Great pics Rose, love the old one of them kicked back at a table. Rob looks like he's in the 70's lol Happy Birthday Thomas! and Jackson toooo. thanks Rose.
A British birthday parcel?!?!
Squeeeeeeee!!!!!
I'm kinda looking forward to my birthday now!!
Liza, mon affaire étrangère
Je t'aime, sorts et sorts. Pas simplement pour mon anniversaire, mais pour toujours et toujours. Je maintiens toujours mes doigts croisés !
Melinda - He's on a plane as we speak, due to land in 8 hours!He's grabbing a few hours sleep and then driving home :)
I just realized I haven't posted a non cookie recipe!!!

Thank you for bringing smiles to some of my most favorite people. Hope your day was full of smiles of your own.
Smitty, miss ya lots! Merry Merry to you and the guys.
Liza, you so owned that 1st post! *fistbump* my friend.
Tracy & Susan, I haven’t received a call to post bail so I’m assuming your alluding of law enforcement continues? Sigh…my very own Thelma and Louise :)
Melinda, rockin' the white elephant...nice!
Angelica, hope that man of yours makes it home soon & safe.
Hi to all others past, present, & future.
Can't wait to catch up. 5 days and the madness will be over. Is it bad that I’m counting?
Cate
ROSE... I admit I haven't really gotten smitten with Tom...I haven't ever seen him in a movie....I will go and try to find Pirate Radio and start from there...I know Sue Bee likes it...a lot! Now Jackson...hmmmm...that is another story....J'adore him!!!! Happy Birthday to ALL! FREDDIE...hugs to you and the rest of Roseland..TRACY...I love the bean dip recipe...I will try...thanks...
Merry Christmas everyone!
Happy Birthday Tom and Jackson!
Rose, soo love the pics, what a cutie. Love the 3rd to the last pics(lol) they were young back then and look at Rob's face. Oh this is a funny caption: 'Tom and the other guy(Rob)
Super RN,
Don't feel bad..I haven't seen any of Tom's movies yet either. Not really sure why..I do find him to be very handsome and wonderful.I will start with Pirate Radio also and we can compare notes :)
Rhonda
Dreamer, Penny, and Hope, thank you for putting up with my grumpy butt this week! I'm in a better mood and would like to request a song from you Dreamer....
Cow Cow Boogie! MOOOOooooooo ~.^
Hey Rhonda and Super RN - Hope you both had a great day. I saw Pirate Radio on the Movie Network recently and really enjoyed it. It’s a lot of fun and has some really great music. Tom character was sweet, in the midst of the crazies. I think you will enjoy it when you see it.
Angelica – happy to hear that your husband is on his way home.
Kami – glad that things are feeling more upbeat.
Hello to everyone else that I may have missed.
Freddie
Kami,
You have been a grumpy butt. It is called holiday stress. Why don't you make one of those Peppermint Stingers? Those things are serious alcohol. My nose was numb from drinking that.
Penny, that sounds wonderful. I might just go do that...you have to admit though...they ARE good..if you don't hear from me...I've probably fallen down the stairs lol
Freddie thanks!
Here's something we like to have on Christmas Eve.
Mulled Cherry Wine
1 Bottle Cherry Wine preferably a tart cherry wine
12 oz water
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground clove
A couple sprinkles of ground nutmeg
Combine all ingredients into sauce pan and stir well.
Heat gently, but DO NOT boil or stir again.
All of the spices will float to the top. Skim off the spices and serve.
Kami,
I meant to say you have not been a grumpy butt. My attempt at reassurance fell flat. Sorry.
Oh Kami.. be careful about those stairs! Kiddo learned that lesson last Friday!
And Cate... no arrests yet. But I'm sure I'll probably at some point be a repeat offender.
Did you guys know that some places bolt their 'Do Not Shoplift' signs to the wall?! Go figure.
Rose~
Awesome post...Happy Birthday Tom!! I love all the pics, especially the 2nd one...those eyes!! ;)
What a great friend he is to Robert and Kristen! And, I can't wait to see Waiting for Forever...the trailer looks great!
Hope everyone is having a good evening...I can't believe that Christmas is Saturday! I can't wait until I can just relax!! :)
~Lynn
LOL Penny, NO WORRIES...I have been a grumpy butt! But thanks for saying I haven't been
My family loves this recipe from Paula Deen. Great on a cold winters night or for an upcoming New Year's shindig.
Taco Soup
Ingredients
2 pounds ground beef
2 cups diced onions
2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans pinto beans
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can pink kidney beans
1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can tomatoes with chiles
2 (4 1/2-ounce) cans diced green chiles
1 (4.6-ounce) can black olives, drained and sliced, optional
1/2 cup green olives, sliced, optional
1 (1 1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (1-ounce) package ranch salad dressing mix
Corn chips, for serving
Sour cream, for garnish
Grated cheese, for garnish
Chopped green onions, for garnish
Pickled jalapenos, for garnish
Directions
Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet; drain the excess fat, then transfer the browned beef and onions to a large slow cooker or a stockpot. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, green chiles, black olives, green olives, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix, and cook in a slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours or simmer over low heat for about 1 hour in a pot on the stove. To serve, place a few corn chips in each bowl and ladle soup over them. Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions and jalapenos.
Have to add to the taco soup recipe if you decide to try it out...
The "scoops" corn chips are better than regular corn chips. I use the scoops as a spoon to eat the soup with.
_____________________________
Angelica- glad to hear he is making it home today/tonight.
Tracy- you know there is someone out there who would think it highly funny to steal the do not shoplift sign...
Kami- haven't noticed you being a grumpy butt, but if you say you have been I hope the rest of the week gets better for you.
OH Dear Thomas,
You are one of a kind! Sweet, honest, caring, protective and a dam good friend to Rob and Kris. Oh and pretty dam cute too, and to me looks arent everything, you have the hole package IMO :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
24? Not a baby anymore!
I will defiantly be checking out his new movie, no doubt. I did see Pirate Radio on HBO, I was impressed.
Rose, you are one awesome person.
Melinda..I have eaten another version of Taco soup before but never made it..Thanks for the recipe..it sounds yummy.
This is completely off topic.
Have any of you noticed how twitter and texting have completely annihilated the English language? We have acronyms for everything now and "totes" where the fuck does that come from?
Just a pet peeve of mine. Now I'm the grumpy butt.
LOL I have no idea where any words come from...right now I'm just impressed that I have been able to somewhat coherently type what I have...considering I'm drunk typing..BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS...I haven't fallen down the stairs...Yet!
Totes? Isn't that luggage? sorry...yall I'm kinda out of it
Penny - I know what you mean,I do use them but I have to have proper punctuation or it drives me mad :)
Penny...
You are right the English language has gone to the wayside in this world of technology. I am guilty as charged. Sometimes I do it and sometimes not. Depends on the mood. If I do anything it is most likely saying things like ffs, btw, jsyk, etc. "Totes" is short for totally by the way.
We all have our own pet peeves and you aren't being a grumpy butt! :)
@ PL I actuall used "TOTES" to show a certain s/one I was refering to them too.
So my opinion on acronyms? To tell you the truth i CBF on acronyms .....BTW lololol
I just learnt CBF from my 14yo too....So now this is a pet 'fav of mine ATM......lol
Rose,
Another reason I love this blog is it is not just about Rob, but also those people that are important in his life. I have always loved the picture you used for the banner. I would imagine a night with those two would be a riot. It is very cool that those bonds remain so important to them.
I think 2011 will be an exciting year for Tom, as well as, Rob and Kristen.
Melinda,
Thank you for the taco soup.I have a very similar recipe, but yours has a few more ingredients that would be an improvement.
Tracy,
Great idea to combine the bean dips. They sound delicious.
Melinda,
I think we are all guilty of using the acronyms. I'm just afraid that 30 years from now the Inauguration speech will be all acronyms and "like" and "totes".
I did know what totes meant I just don't understand why we use it.
Thanks for the soup recipe. I'm always looking for new recipes during the everlasting cold months.
Someone bring me a Peppermint Stinger--STAT!
Aaaaagh!!!!!!
Just had to get that out of the way.
Susan
:o)
Penny, my friend, you made me chuckle with your thoughts on the Inaugural speech in 30 yrs. You may be right on that account.
I misread your "totes" comment and thought you didn't know what it was short for. I don't know why we shorten things. Easier and faster than typing it out properly?
For those thanking me for the taco soup recipe...you're welcome.
Off too bed cause I'm becoming a sleepyhead...
Hey Everyone!
I do so hope Thomas had or is having a lovely birthday wherever he may be! How lucky Robert and Kristen are to have a friend like him:)
Hope everyone had a good day today. I did a little candy making and baking finally, and may or may not have made myself a lil sick on sugar cookie dough...lol!
As much as I'm not in the 'Christmas spirit' this year, for some strange reason I'm ahead of schedule on everything. Presents are all wrapped and baking is done. I can't quite figure that out...
Susan, I hope you enjoy YOUR's as much as I enjoyed mine
BTW...I'm totes guilty of the acronym thing;)
Kami
I swear the stress is getting to me!!!! I might have to shift to margaritas!
Oh--stay away from those stairs!!!!
Susan
Having a Hallelujah! Holy Shit! Where's the Tylenol? Chevy Chase kind of an evening.
Uh Oh, Suebee...sounds like you either have family visiting or lots of kids running around your house!..lol
Definitely family related--but not the kids--they are being good!
Tis the season!
LOL
Kami... Happy to put up with your mood... Dental issues will put anyone over the edge.
Just got in from another holiday party...champagne with cranberry juice and lots of red wine.
So.. Advil and the bed are calling and yet Kendall and her friends are going wild...too many sleepovers at our home !!!
For Tom Sturridge:
Happy Birthday!
I am completely empty-headed right now (blame it on the bossa nova or Corona) and no witty sayings come to mind.
It is such fun to wish a total stranger something good, and I do you. Something very good, for Tom Sturridge, aged 1/4 century old.
Your song dedication is:
Show Me The Way To Go Home
The Hunger Mountain Boys 4 Tom:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw0XSkpHvBE
Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed.
Had ten drinks about an hour ago
And it's gone right through my head.
Wherever I may roam
On land, sea or foam,
You can always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.
How dry I am, how dry I am
Nobody knows how dry I am
I sold my hands, I sold my shoes
For one more drink of the good old booze
You can always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.

Thank you/lifeisasoundtrack
.......SALUTE! TOM...........
DK You are a naughty girl this fine evening.....Fancy!...Coronoa or Bossa Vova......I would thought you were a fine port typa lady.....NO?
I thought that would have been more up your alley. ;)
......Ya know I am going to blame that naughty Bren....Those wee hour talks....Why she has lead you up the garden path no doubt!...lol
Not sure if I will be here laters.....If not goodnight before hand....
@Bren, Gwen, Birdie & Louisa
I'm rolling in and out, so leave me a message if you stop by.
DK
@Southerncross
You're funny. I do like Port, and most everything in that area of living/enjoying, for I've had a lifetime of discovery to get there.
And going down the garden path along with Bren, is a true pleasure.
Have a good day, and Happy Holidays!
DK
@Smitty
It's so nice to know that you read the early morning comments, and that you just love the whole history of music I post, often with you in mind (and darling Syd).
May you and Gruff have the happiest of holidays ever!
And, oh, I'm so thankful for the fun and cheery times, we've all shared on Roseland.
May the good times roll in 2011, too.
DK
Shake, shake, shake....shake your booty...
Where are you crazy woman?
Happy Belated Birthday Tom, hope it was a great one...
Let The Good Times Roll
The Cars swing it/listen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QeJDiDvTEE
Let the good times roll
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the stories be told
Let them say what they want
Let the photos be BOLD
Let them show what they want
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll
If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll-oll
Thank you/DavidAlleineAgain
@Bren
You should talk, the one who leads me down the garden path!
How goes it?
@Bren
The blog is being weird and tries to make me post the same comment, over and over. Sheesh!
@Bren
What's really funny about the blog's weirdness, is that the comment it wants me to repeat, over and over, is the one about you leading me down the garden path.
Is it your doing and where are you really leading me?
@Bren
Right now I am feeling rather insulted!
It's not only the fact that as usual, you leave me a message and then depart for a long time.
But to add insult to injury, when I was talking to my sister a short while ago, she began to snore in my ear, if you can believe that?
Thank goodness I just picked up a special Snore No More or No More Snoring pillow as a gift for myself, just in case I need it, I can now give it to her instead.
Will that solve the problem of her falling asleep while we are talking on the telephone?
No, it won't but at least she will not be snoring in my ear, right?
I mean after all, I do not snore, that I know of, only breath loudly, deeply and fully. Don't need that special pillow, natch.
@Bren
Oh, and another insult...
Remember H who grabbed me close, hugged me and kissed my hair last week? Well, I saw him tonight and he acted like he didn't even recall doing that. Hmmph.
To get back at him for that, I told him that I mentioned him on the blog and he is a featured player.
He was surprised but not seemingly unhappy about it, maybe even flattered, as I told him that you think, he and I should date.
That remark did cause something like alarm to flash in his eyes. Or it might have been a trick of the light around the bar, don't you think, Bren?
Guess he has just realized that he may be the subject of my blogging on Roseland, in future, and that was not at all alarming, I'm sure, but disarming for sure, don't you think, Bren?
There you go hallucinating again...
Sorry, I got stuck on a call, my brother and his family are in Arizona at his father in laws, and will be here tomorrow..can't wait.
So why don't you blame it on the bossa nova,instead of me...
@Bren
Don't worry, Bren, I will blame you for lots of things over the next few days, when your brother is with you, and your are not on Roseland.
I can also find another dance number to blame it on, in your name, also.
Is this the I want your panties on the floor guy?
OMG, men are suckers, saying hi flatters them...(just kidding, don't everyone jump me at once)
Soooo...I'm waiting for the rest of the story...did you take them off..LOL
@Bren
H. may be playing coy with me instead, don't you think, Bren?
Now he has decided to let whomever wins him at the charity auction on NYE, have their way with him. Such a tease!
As if, he would allow that kind of freedom of his person, when in the past he said he wouldn't lift a finger to assist the winner, in any way.
He must be a very modest, genteel man to have such a high value for himself and his charms.
Why, I did ask him if he has always been that way, and he told me that he is a reformed character for he used to be, used a lot in the past.
@Bren
I'd almost forgotten about that man "R" who you thought was into panty action.
Really, it was the lust-filled fandom who were watching the WFE trailer and Chris W. who produced the lustful panties on the floor idea.
Which by the way Bren, you ran with that idea, didn't you Bren?
I really believe he and my sister-in-law will stay at mom's...probably the kids will stay here...his kids and mine are intertwined agewise...so they love to hang out together...
So, I can still come on the board and bug you on a nightly basis..aren't you the lucky one..
Sounds like this auction dude, wants you to be the highest bidder, if he is already giving you a preview of what you can/can't do with him....are you bidding?
@Bren
Another insult is bubbling up in my mind....
My brother (silent farter) and his wife are concerned, that I may not pay the entire amount due for my holiday drinks at our Thursday meal!
They do not feel that they should have to chip in for my excessively expensive cocktail choices. Can you believe that?
My brother was going to treat the four of us to dinner but now that I have been conned into coordinating the whole thing, I've invited 11 more folks.
How does that increase my bar bill and the chance that I won't pay for all of my cocktails, eh, Bren?
The nerve of some folks who con others into doing things and then accuse them of not doing other things, like they would do, in any case.
Like pissin' in the wind, family stuff is sometimes.
@Bren
If you will recall my comments from that day, discussing his will do, will not do, then he is not previewing but reviewing.
H and I both agreed (not to each other) that we would do nothing for the winners, and allow nothing to be done, and I wrote that I would be doing that much better than he (one upmanship is alive and well in DK).
Will I bid on H? Now that depends.
Will I go there on NYE?
Will I go somewhere that has music, dancing, well-dressed men?
Will I stay home and ....no.
So much time and so little to decide, don't you think Bren?
All I can say is you always need a drink around family...
@Bren
Yes, that's true, I always do. How did you know, Bren?
Is this an annual auction? How high do the bids go, and is he even worth it? LOL
@Bren
I keep forgeting to wear my bright and beautiful purple vinyl boots!
It was really foggy here today, and just perfect for wearing those boots.
They would keep my feet dry, make a bold fashion statement, (if anyone could see them, that is, through the fog) and justify my buying them.
Do you think that I forgot them, Bren or did the little wee ones, move them out of my sight, so I would?
Wonder if they are in my closet or out walking in the fog without me? What do you think, Bren?
@Bren
He might fetch $20 or even more.
It is for the Animal Welfare charity, so maybe he could be bid even higher, say $22.
I am not insulting him, not me who feels so insulted tonight, but it is a bar named Jokers, so how high do you think folks there will bid, Bren?
Everything is a big joke at Jokers, see the humor, Bren?
Is he a nice guy?
I don't know, if he was used so much before, when did he start thinking he's a goddess?...
you think men use women? I believe women use men a lot more...
@Bren
Tsk, tsk, for your opinions on who is being used the most, Bren! Dish more...
I confess that H said tonight that he used to be a manwhore but is reformed.
Actually, I said, didn't you used to be a manwhore, and he said, he is trying to get away from being that. Same difference?
What does Bren think about manwhores?
@Bren
Sorry, you asked if he is nice. Don't know.
He has a melodious voice, great smile, laughs a lot, and is sensible and smart.
Nice? Would any of those qualities make him nice, Bren?
He drinks Bud Light, nicely.
You are not serious,LOL 20 bucks..
He deserves to be used for that price....I thought you were going to tell me a hell of a lot more money...
Hello ladies!
Miss being here. How are you? Im too lazy today to read all your posts.
@Bren
I think that I feel somewhat insulted by him (surprised?) that he didn't suggest that I be auctioned off for the good of the animals!
That would be the way to flatter and cajole me into bidding that $20
or more on him. Bid on me, at least $20, and I'll do the same.
Don't you think so, Bren?
Believe me you don't want to know what I think of manwhores...
Not one of my favorite subjects...ask Gin.
Hi Ginny!..Did you have fun today??
I'm still full...pop in and say hello to Dreamer----chicken.
@Gwen
How's Birdie? Tee, hee.
Nice to see you, lazy beaner.
DK
im still on cloud nine here. Though its my regret to missed my love yesterday, we didnt met since i had work :-(
For H at Jokers:
You Be So Nice To Come Home To
Helen Merrill brings it home:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM0PhsP7ulk
You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love
(Cole Porter)
Thank you/gattenshouchi
DK
Birdie's fine, i guess lol. Maybe busy preparing for work or doing chores.
Hey how is the weather back there? I watched the news the other day and it seems you had a snow storm.
@Gwen
On cloud 9? That means you are happy for some reason, right?
You didn't meet them and they didn't win, so what are you happy about Gwen?
Good early morning "Night Owls"...I can join ya for a bit....So how are we this fine day/morn/whatever? lol
Hello Southerncross, do join us.
DK
just becoz, lol. Though i didnt get the chance to meet them, i always see them on news these past few days. And its 2 days b4 xmas eve!
@Gwen
Birdie wrote a comment the other day that she's been catching up on sleep, she is so busy.
Yet, she posts comments, almost every day around 3pm or so, chatting with other Roseland buddies, and not at all at 5am, like she used to, for chats with me.
But I feel a little insulted, cause she started sleeping in and catching up the very next day after we were chatting here.
Wondering if she said something, that made me say something, which caused us both to be insulted, and needing a break from each other?
What do you think Gwen?
Hi Bells,
How are you?
You don't have to read the comments, they're all about booze and sex...just the usual...oh and I think there's a little bossa nova in the mix..
@Southerncross
How do?
DK
well it seems that she suddenly disappears again. Maybe she fell asleep. Hmm wonder what/who keeps her busy? 8-)
@Gwen
If you did decide to not be lazy and did read the comments from earlier, although Bren is right about them, you would learn about the weather here, and my purple boots which may be out walking without me.
Hey Gwen..how are you sweetie?
DK you complain far to much.....as usual!lol
If you must know ...YES i am sleeping in a lil more of late......A girl needs her beauty sleep....Does she not?..lol
Bren......yes sex, booze & bossa nova...well that sounds interesting!....lol
@Gwen
You could be talking about either Bren, Birdie or Southercross or all three! They get busy, disappear and who knows why?
Bren! Didnt see you there.
DK
its cute when you two banters, lol
Hello SC,
Nice that you dropped in...how the hell have you been?
Bells,
Is the new love, the football player?
Southerncross
oh im happy and fine. DK always complains or just doing her monologue thing, lol. Hence Smitty, Syd and Gruff and the rest enjoys her music.
@SoCross
You are making me so cross!
And I am feeling a tiny bit insulted, while I'm at it.
It is not complaining when you have been insulted!
It is explaining the injury, in no uncertain terms, and taking responsibility for your own feelings of being insulted.
Thus, it is a simple matter of getting to the heart of the insult, as quick as may be, and to project the reason for the insult, into other's minds for their agreement that the insult was truly insulting.
DK "get Busy" you say...wellllllll
tis the busy season?. Tomorrow I will be starting to prepare some dishes as I will have the 'fam' here lunch on Christmas day....
Bren....How the hell have you been? lol
Im fine....
Gwen what do you mean by banters?
Or shouldn't I ask? lol
NEWSFLASH!
DK,
I just looked out the window , and I saw a pair of purple boots walking by...do you suppose they are yours?
Bren
Yep, theyre my new obssession as of today. Deym i even like the coach, young, hot and very much engage lmao.
DK FFS you've lost me......But in a way I am glad ....I don't think I want to take that any further? Perhaps this is a wise choice.....What about that DK...
As for insulted.......you know someone once told me to ......to.....get....a.....llll...!
I took those fine words and did just that.....Now then....perhaps I should give you something in return.....or perhaps...lol I should say 'dito"!......should I not...... ;)
SC,
What kind of dishes do you fix for xmas?
Gwen,
Girly-girl, sounds you have a lot of choices...good for you...DK said you were a hot chick yourself...
Bren
lol
Scross
maybe you should go back at the older posts to see what i mean, lol.
Im waiting for Birdie and Louisa to join in.
sorry,
meant sounds like
word verif. is griona--not even going there. LOL
@Gwen
Did you just insult me or was I only thinking that you did?
This is too much for me tonight! Why do I draw insults wherever I go?
I mean Gwen, to insinuate that S, S, & G and the rest of Roselanders, ignore, I say again, and again, ignore, my fine expostualtions on all things of great interest, and prefer the music I post!
Well, I'll be.....no, I am insulted, so there.
My ears are burning and woke me out of a dead sleep. Now who's insulted???
Bren,
We are doing a BBQ, chicken, beef and sausages....
I also make other dishes with that.....4 or 5 type of salads....pasta dishes and Fried rice....garlic bread,
Sweets trifel, My al time "fav.....Lemon meringue pie, cannoli, fruit.....and that's sort of it..... It prob going to be hot lunchtime, as usual....so thats about it.
Gwen Deym? engage? im liking the sound of that! lol
Dreamer,
Calm down, chica...no one meant anything, they were just teasing...
Birdie,
OMG, did we wake you? LOL
I'm so upset that I have insulted my own intelligence by spelling one of my favorite words, wrong, and I have to suck it up and let it stand for the whole wide world to see.
See "expostualtions" my bad!
Read "expostulations" my good!
All better, Dreamer repents.
Gwen im not going back to the past post......come on GF .....just repeat what you are talking about.....Im sure DK wont mind....would you dear?
DK
you should google the coach, deym hot and a Brit, lol.
Bren
so many choices, there's the goalkeeper, striker, midfielder and lets not forget the coach, lol
Bren very funny.....waking up from the dead you say.....well perhaps!
ya know sometimes ya gotta do , what ya gotta do!lol
You keep stirring that big ol pot.....It should be 2nd nature by now! hey! lol
@Ginny
I see you, there at work and trying not to laugh too loudly at Bren. She is a funny lady.
Come on, pick some weird moniker, sign up and join in, so I can be insulted by you, too. It would be my just desserts, don't you think?
(I'm waiting for your own personal brand of insult.)
Good morning Bren, Gwen, SC and of course,"O' Sensitive One" DK,
Yes, I was awakened by someone grumbling about me and I am very sensitive to that.
Dk,I think you should quit worrying about who gets up in the morning and Buy That Man! Now, that is the ticket!
SC,
I was just bragging about me still being full from eating all day at work, and now that you mention all this food...suddenly I'm hungry again..sounds delish.
Gwen,
WOW girl, you want the whole team...too funny.
OK, guys-- I'm posing a ?, DK and I were discussing manwhores...What are some of your thoughts..
SC,
I really hope that meal is potluck or do you do all the cooking?
@SoCross
Gwen should babble on and no, I don't mind, for I am restored to myself.
The worst kind of insult is someone thinking that I am serious about ANYTHING silly that I write!
Your holiday meal sounds delectable, SC, and you must be a great cook, too.
I have to go for a bit....But I will BRB in about 20 min.....
If you are all still hanging around ....I will see ya then..If not g'nite/ g'day
I was married to one,unbeknownst to me. So what was the question?
@Birdie
What? You end with a question but start with the answer!
Very clever.
Bren
na-ah i dont like manwhores. What about them?
@Gwen
I don't need to google the whole team, as Bren said, you want them all or any one of them.
They are all handsome you said, so, no need for googling.
I trust your taste and judgement, when you are not flinging insults my way, that is. Flinging is in bad taste, indeed.
Birdie,
No question really, DK just said the man she should buy, used to be a manwhore..I also think she should buy him, use him like a tissue, and toss him.LOL
I'm sorry you had one in your life...
I would suppose that first statement probably is an inclination on how I feel on the subject of manwhores! HAHA!
You see I can now laugh and get the last laugh where that one is concerned.
Birdie,
I forgot to add...once a cheater, always a cheater..
@Birdie
I sampled Chanel Chance de tendre today and it is nice. There are so many new Chanel fragrances, aren't there?
Dolce & Gabonna has one that smells like baby powder, that I didn't try but will.
Let's take a poll! Who thinks smelling like a baby is sexy? Come on, Ginny, fess up.
DK
right you are, it the whole team, lol.
Bren,DK
ok i dont get the 'buy' man thing. What is that suppose to mean?
Gwen,
I never knew you were into team sports...
You always wanted to jump off a cliff, or be eaten by a lion...LOL
@Bren
What would it make me to use H and toss him away, a womenwhore?
Are you perhaps hinting at an insult about me, using tissue and tossing to start one?
Is he a self-professed reformed manwhore? Tread lightly and be prepared to follow Bren's suggestion. Although, I am sure DK is quite capable of taming a restless heart.
Oh i like baby smell, well you all know that lol
@Gwen
If I was nice, and after all of this abuse, I don't feel nice, I'd explain the buying a man thing.
Instead let me just say-read the earlier comments for the answers.
There-take that, Gwen!
Gwen,
A man who has the hots for DK is going to be auctioned off for charity, and he made it clear to DK, if she is the "ONE" to win him....she can pretty much do anything she wants to him...(kinky stuff) and he won't mind...but he used to be a manwhore...so she doesn't know if he's worth the time she would spend devouring him little by little...Do I have the story right, DK?
@Birdie
You hit the nail with the head on it.
Taming a restless heart does not appeal to me. Why, what were you trying to say about me, with that remark?
Do I sense an insult?
Bren,
Alas, unfortunately that cheater statement is all to true with rare exceptions.
Gwen,
Have you added more team members to your list of drool-worthy men? You are increasing your odds at actually meeting one.
@Bren
You do have a story, right.
@Bren
My feet are cold. Run out and get my boots. Please.
Oh My God,DK,
Where is all the paranoia coming from? I think I must tread lightly around you! Actually, I meant that as a compliment. Who has stepped on your toes? (yes, I am being silly too)
Bren
lol thats what you get raised w/ boys.
Ohh...hmm, i'll leave that to DK to decide.
Ok im off now, gotta go home. See ya later ladies.
Oh Lady,
I thought you would love my version...was the kinky stuff, a tad too much?...hmmm, maybe..LOL
Maybe R is right with the nuclear physicist.....
Bye Bells,
Have a great evening...
Both Sides Now
Joni Mitchell-1974
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9HMQDlt_zc
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
from up and down, and still somehow
it's cloud illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way that you feel
as every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go
and if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,
from give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions that I recall.
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say "I love you" right out loud,
dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now, give and take,
from win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.
(Miles of Aisles-album)
Thank you/soundcarver
Sorry DK,
The boots along with Elvis have left the building...
Darn California, throwing us more rain they don't want.
@Bren
R is wrong about you, don't worry, there is hope for you yet.
No one has stepped on my toes, as I did not go out yet, for I need my purple boots back from NM, Bren!
Im back.....who's still here?
@Bren & Birdie and Myself
Well, if that doesn't beat all!
Gwen has managed to insult all three of us with her parting comments.
To call us ladies, after all of the booze, sex, manwhoring, kinky talk, what an insult!
And, she blew us off to go home and suggested she would not talk with us again today.
Probably she doesn't like our personal brand of ladies, eh?
It was nice to see a post from Smitty again...Hope her holidays are filled with mucho love...
Are you able to view the Full moon from were you are?......Or is the weather to overcast to see?
I went outside before [for a moonlight cig]lol heathy I know!
and it is just beautiful tonight.
DK,
I know after all that slutty talk and she calls us ladies...well, I never..
They might not even be your boots, could they have walked that far?
The Ladies Who Lunch
Elaine Stritch nails it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfSp21eMLN0
Here's to the ladies who lunch--
Everybody laugh.
Lounging in their caftans
And planning a brunch
On their own behalf.
Off to the gym,
Then to a fitting,
Claiming they're fat.
And looking grim,
'Cause they've been sitting
Choosing a hat.
Does anyone still wear a hat?
I'll drink to that.
And here's to the girls who play smart--
Aren't they a gas?
Rushing to their classes
In optical art,
Wishing it would pass.
Another long exhausting day,
Another thousand dollars,
A matinee, a Pinter play,
Perhaps a piece of Mahler's.
I'll drink to that.
And one for Mahler!
And here's to the girls who play wife--
Aren't they too much?
Keeping house but clutching
A copy of LIFE,
Just to keep in touch.
The ones who follow the rules,
And meet themselves at the schools,
Too busy to know that they're fools.
Aren't they a gem?
I'll drink to them!
Let's all drink to them!
And here's to the girls who just watch--
Aren't they the best?
When they get depressed,
It's a bottle of Scotch,
Plus a little jest.
Another chance to disapprove,
Another brilliant zinger,
Another reason not to move,
Another vodka stinger.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
I'll drink to that.
So here's to the girls on the go--
Everybody tries.
Look into their eyes,
And you'll see what they know:
Everybody dies.
A toast to that invincible bunch,
The dinosaurs surviving the crunch.
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch--
Everybody rise!
Rise!
Thank you/TheReturnofStephan1
Birdie,
Do you have to work today?
SC,
Glad your back...
DK,
Excellent choice of song.
Good night Gwen!
Now back to the perfumes, a very safe subject.
Welcome back SC!
My word verif. is gabbey, how appropriate.
@SC
I couldn't see a thing of the eclipse but a kind friend sent me a photo of one part-so beautiful
@Bren
Yes, Smitt stopped in and popped out and happiness is sure to follow such as she...I agree.
@Bren
My boots were made for walking and that's just what they'll do! One of these days, they're gonna walk all over you.
So Gwen? Is she not going to return, tonight?
DK yes. great song choice....although I'm not sure about your "boots" comment?
Goodnite Gwen.
DK,
If I had opened the door your boots would of come in and walked all over me tonight...
@Birdie
You tease!
As you are aware, the comments don't always post in the order we wish they would, where we intended them to be.
But sometimes, there is divine intervention, and they are in the exactly perfect order, they need to be.
I was referring to the Joni Mitchell song. Not that the 2nd one wasn't great,said with just the right amount of ass kissing.
Bren, yes I have to work 12 hours, my new shift. I am still adjusting(why I am so tired,thank you very much,for those that question my sleeping habits).
@SC
Those are lyrics from a song about boots sung by Nancy Sinatra.
I don't think I can even speak a sentence without using lyrics to express myself! Whoa, did I just?
TO my partners in crime,
I must zoom off, that song that DK just posted, reminded me that I promised myself to go to the gym everyday for these two weeks...(I am eating like a freaking pig)..I really overstayed my welcome tonight...and I do have to get up--somewhat early.
So good-night everyone...its been fun.
Later.
DK yes i know the song...in fact i was singing it to myself as I was reading the comment.....Just ......perhaps its better i dont have the foggiest on what you are perhaps are elluding to.....yes perhaps......this is right! lol
@Birdie
The Joni song was for Gwen and her saying she is on cloud 9 and I thought of clouds in my coffee, no, wait, looking at clouds from both sides now.
Some people, some very special, nice and caring people, take note of other people's sleeping habits, to gauge the health and attitude of each.
see ya Bren.....please, please dont over do it in the gym......why we dont want an exahausted Brenny now......do we?lol
goodnite...
@Bren
Overstayed your welcome? What an insult!
Nevertheless, work it baby, and take it to the limit, one more time.
Well DK how are you going to spenf the day today?
spend not spenf....wtf! lol
@SC
I do not elude but exude, way more than I should. Lol.
DK that ok just as long as you are exuding to your friends.....well, that doesn’t really matter....
@SC
When I finally face the day, clothed, fed and coffeed, I will hit the grocery stores to buy the ham, and other foods for Christmas Day dinner.
Then, I will call all of the people, places and things that expect me to call them, and get on with decorating/cleaning of my abode.
Oh, going out to dinner on Thursday, so life is looking good, like I will be.
so how are you going to spend your day?
Well that sounds brilliant! lol
I actually had a christmas partt last night with my GF and their families.....we had dinner at out friends restaurant.....It was good.
Good night Bren. Work it!
Good Night Dk and SC.
DK, I will look for you after 3-5PM because I know that is when you often wake from your slumber. See I take note of your sleeping habits also.
SC I don't know if you answered me. Do you have to cook all that food?
