<p>Oh, and we will have a special dance for wallflowers.</p>
<p>I dare any of you to remain in your seats when we start playing Prince.</p>
<p>U don’t have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don’t have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your . . . . . kiss</p>
<p>“act your age, not your shoe size”</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Hey guess what started today?</p>
<p>AVP Men’s Pro Volleyball tour!!! :D</p>
<p>If I have to choose between 51.5 and 7, um, frankly, I choose 51.5.</p>
<p>And there you have it:).</p>
<p>Hehehehehe.</p>
<p>Congrats to oaklandmom!</p>
<p>Afterthought— do we now refer to you as the artist formerly known as oaklandmom? :D</p>
<p>What city are you in now???</p>
<p>Happy nesting oaklandmom ;)</p>
<p>Alu, in case you didn’t get it, that’s another line in “Kiss.”</p>
<p>I got it. Completely. I was just thinking about what it would be like to be 7 again and decided I prefer 51.5. So love that song:).</p>
<p>Act your age not your shoe size is almost as good as Dorothy Parker.</p>
<p>Young woman says to DP, opening the door for her:“Age before beauty”.
DP say, sweeping through said door: “Pearls before swine”.</p>
<p>Ah for a gift for repartee like DP…</p>
<p>Wasn’t DP also the one who said: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, sit right down by me.”</p>
<p>I nominate DP for a memorial plaque in one of the back booths.</p>
<p>better yet, I hear that one of those marmots can channel DP!</p>
<p>Amazing critters</p>
<p>“I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most.
After three I’m under the table,
after four I’m under my host.” </p>
<p>" I’d rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy."</p>
<p>Oh yes! Memorial plaque. Also we might designate a sceptre with magic powers. Whoever gets to hold it will be able to talk like DP for one hour.</p>
<p>Like if one of the denizens is feeling beaten up, comes in backwards and sweaty through the swinging doors, hand him/her the sceptre, and for one hour they can skillfully and intellectually lacerate whoever was giving them grief outside our doors.</p>
<p>Perhaps the sceptre should only be used when/if the marmots fail…</p>

<p>A marmot channeling DP. Alvin and the Chipmunks.</p>
<p>Dear god. Must go have a virtual drink at that thought…A Dorothy Parker Martini?</p>

<p>Oh, dear. Did I scare everyone away with the channeling marmot? I’ll ask him to stop.</p>
<p>It’s kinda spooky here tonight…so quiet.</p>
<p>Its been a quiet couple of days so I guss it is up to me to pull my people up from page 3</p>
<p>sybbie’s always pulling people up, sometimes right off the sawdusty floor. Thank goodness we can rely on sybbie.</p>
<p>Beautiful spring day here in Calif. Cheers, all.</p>
<p>So what sort of a house warming present does Oaklandmom get? Links to all the home improvement threads? ;)</p>
<p>Brilliant, mathmom. ^^^.</p>
<p>I’ve been a little busy. And I don’t drink when I have to play the piano…it might loosen some people up, but I would just see 2 keyboards, which makes it difficult to play. :D</p>
<p>We could just put it on “player” function and you could fake it…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>and you might think it is an organ!
((then we’d have to pull out all the stops–sorry about that!))</p>
