yep - kick ass debbie. watch those holes out there. safety first - that's my motto....
do opposite of what i do and you'll survive. kiss monica for me too :)
Hey, I think what you are doing is awesome! I luv my whippet and lost count long ago how many times she's gotten away. She even got a racoon trap stuck on her foot once. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... The Wonderful World of Whippets. Can't live with 'em, and can't live without 'em! :-P

Lois T

yep - debbie says that's cool....
i'll have supplies. we're gonna go to minnesota's in long beach at like 3:00 to hang and relax outside. if you want to come, be my guest.
Hey you wild women, you need to be out there about 4:30 or 5:00 am - not 10:00 am - heck, Vivi is an early bird. She has laid down tracks by the time you get there!
I am going to book a reservation for all you beer drinkers after we catch Vivi at the rehab center. You are going to need one (hee, hee). Yuck beer, give me a margarita or wine! ROO, ROO.
OK. 10:00 at the meeting spot.
Lois T

AH-HA!!!!! WEENIE MARGHERITAS
I HAVE FOUND MY CALLING!!!!!!
Tequila - UGH! I'll stick to beer, or maybe that tub of Bailey's?
Lois T
lois, are you leading me to the fountain of youth???
weenie beer??? holy moly - i must make a pilgrimage to st. louis now... i feel so inspired now. you are my leader, lois.
where's DC tonight? feed him dinner yet, Lo?
Just think of the ballparks - no longer will you have to worry about juggling the weenie and the beer. With weenie beer, it's all in a handy dandy cup!
shea stadium here we come!!!! i'll get the beer - you grab the weenies. look out bill gates, we're on our way :) we can eat/drink the profits away, right, Lois?
oh, yes - weenie and beer slurpy!!!! so icy and cold and delish... i am out of control tonight.
He just finished. Made him a fritatta. I had a weenie!
Lois T
Darlene, we'll make millions!
all hail, lois!!!!! beer with that??
(CRACK***) well, there's mine opening. i love fridays!!!!!!
Actually, tonight I had a cherry fizz cooler. Was just in the mood!
Hey Darlene ~
Love the picture, no sarcasim at all, and who cares if you're not all dolled up? Vivi won't care about that . You are busting your behind for this girl and hey I don't care if you wear body paint or even dress like a clown, you are ALL doing what you can for Vivi thats all that matters... Keeping the faith ...
oooh... how very tropical of you!!!! you know how to live, woman. when we appproach the 7-11's to hang the big vivi posters, perhaps we can suggest our new drink/eat ideas... they'll be falling all over us.
I think I'll have a pina colada one now!
thanks chrissy - it's hooooorrible!!!!!! i look like i just rolled out of bed for god's sake. ugh. i hate bad pictures. i'm not vein - don't get me wrong please. BUT i do like to look human. do i have double chin??? i swear it looks like a double chin..... bad, very very bad......
ok - the first one to print it out and mail it to me as a joke is dead. (better nip that one in the bud)
wow, lois!!! you're an animal!!! looking to get lucky tonight??? hee.....
At least yours would only look like a double chin. Mine would actually be a double chin!
Oh crap - do you think I can get a letter back from the post office?
you are disgusting weenie margheritas, can i have one? I want mine pork flavored. hehe hey gals heading out in a few.
Did you say pork, Debbie?
Good luck Deb! Say hi to Monica for me!
it would not lois. stop it, you sexy vixen, you. you are a beautiful woman!!! and you can pour one hell of a beer - no foam.... that in itself is a talent only earned by the deserving :)
Noone wants to join us in a weed climbing fest tonight, aw c'mon, I have hot beers and a new bottle of wine. And yes darlene my car is dry be nice to me, remember the leg!!! I hear its feeling better, we can fix that
Hey lois how are you girl, think of us getting dirty and stuck in bushes while you have your weenie drinks.
lois: remember the sexy man by jamaica hospital by the weenie cart? the one with the fishing boots on (debbie's man)? send the picture and you just got yourself a new boyfriend :)
debbie: drink like you gotta pair baby. heee
Lois I said pork because I am starting to look like a porker from all this beer and raw weenie.
I was wearing the foam, remember?
hey debbie****
aaahhhh.... PORK - THE OTHER WHITE MEAT :)
Weenie mom, I shall be flyring, between drinks and the allergy pills I am good to go, bet i can get to the park in 5 minutes, give me a dollar and i'll make it 3 minutes.
Darlene, when I go to work in the morning I look like crap, when I get home and take a shower, little blush and lipstick , I'm off to the races. When I picked up my paycheck last week , I didn't take a shower yet and the girl is like smile... then the camera flashes that awful picture will go to all our clients in the area... yuk ,yuk, yuk and I HATE it, I know where you're coming from though... As far as a double chin, didn't see one on you... If you think your getting one though , just motion your head up and down for 5 minutes a day... not while drinking BEER, could get you a big headache, this 5 minute thing does work...
Lois the foam, great to use as a body wash, all the homeless will follow you and say gee you smell terrific.
Thanks Chrissy, I think I just got whiplash!!!
Maybe we can market it as a bubble bath!
Ok gals it's time to be off and running, we shall meet up tomorrow am, I shall see you at the usual spot Lois, same place same time. later dudettes. Monica Here I come for ya baby.
Darlene, come on, you CAN'T TAKE A BAD PICTURE it's those polish genes you have that does it!
I am sooooo glad my picture was not in People. I would have had to run to all the doctors and dentists offices stealing their copies and buying up every single copy I could find.
One time I showed up at Peck Park early on a Saturday morning with my hair wet practically in my PJ's. The Queens Cronicle was there and wanted to take my picture and I told them FORGET IT!!
pretty much, lois. quite the disaster in the back of the car!!!! debbie's car is the wetlands.
hee!!!
Go get her Deb!!!
PJ's huh, Kathy? How chic!
Yes Lois, they had little puppies all over them. I thought it would be appropriate..
They were just talking about the hemmingway cats on FOX news... I guess the people who are running the house are taking the city to court . The mayor said "it was a waste of time, why not worry about all the chickens that roam around Key west" sounds like the cats might win , I hope so ...
How true Kathy, how true.
jamies??? i never thought of that!!!! and ahower cap - next time - i promise, kathy!!!
Hey Darlene, you might be on to something here. Let's ALL show up at the next photo shoot in our PJ'S AND SLIPPERS! You can even get a little PJ set for Romeo. The question is do we go with a nightgown, pant set, baby dolls or footsies (you know the one with the flap on the butt)??
Footsies all the way for me!! HEE HEE!!!
Hee Haw
Damn if we still don't have Mrs. Hollywood still on the blog. Hello to all you wonderful foot soldiers. It's so nice to see a face with the name. Can't wait to see more pictures. Got my People magazine today and what a great story. I just wish it was a story that said she had been caught. We will get her.
Hey Darlene,
Did you fall asleep with your jamies on with a beer in our hand and a wiener in your mouth.
Hey Marty!! How ya doin?
sorry, marty - i was distracted by the boob and her poor victim, monica. they are at the park. monica only is offered debbie's 500 degree beers in the back, yet she has a lovely bottle of wine to enjoy. this is gonna be good....
Well hot damn, we have a celebrity in our midst.
Donthca all just love it and darlene? She's my, uh,
role model, when I grow up I wanna be just like darlene..haaaaaaa haaa...(snicker, I mean it honey girl!) I love you a lot you Polish woman...
Good luck guys in the search tomorrow. Tell Vivi we love her and want her to be rescued and have hot dogs, uh, weenies and beer for a special treat.
Love you ladies! I wish I could be with you, we would have even more fun if thats possible..he.xoxoxo
mrs hollywood??? oooh... direct hit. i normally try to sign off before leaving. sorry. that pesky debbie just can't exist without my influence. however, he did suggest a new weenie recipe. stuffed eggplant with weenies and vise versa...
mm,mm, good :)
What's worse - 500 degree beer or 500 degree wine?
wel, ruby - you been lurking and looking again, my sneaky little pal??? nice comments, smarty pants :)
may your daughter have triplets!!!! love you booballa!!!!
kathy: how about doctor denton's?? always my fav - even in 90 degrees and we'll smell nice too :)
debbie's wine is nice and chilled, lois. poor newbie monica. she will soon learn to hit debbie with a stick like we all do :)
Those poor hot beers! :( Having to take a back seat to the wine!
i know, lois - i ache for those poor 6 innocent victims left in her obviously incapable hands.....
it hurts me. evil woman :)
well, off to bed now. i must be well rested to kick the crap out of myself tomorrow. hopefully, i will have all of my limbs when i'm finished.
and i still think
