my teeth grew fur my tongue swelled from normal size... Yesterday I was Ben Hur. I awoke and I'm Barney Fife. that I knew thirst yesterday, drinking wine-- and what was in that shot you bought? Was it terpentine? fingers, please, type quietly, Alka Seltzer? Just for me? plop plop fizz fizz 'tis my relief. My, the pain. To think I must do this again. Everyone has gone insane... Mardi Gras. Bacchus reigns.  [This message has been edited by serenity (02-11-2002 02:24 PM).] |

  YAY!!! Oh my gosh, I know just how you feel, all the gumbo on this day always seems to get people excited and it gets so congested and noisy out on the French Quarter and all among New Orleans! (kiss on cheek) Wonderful tribute, sweet friend, we all love you so much, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Oh darn, I knew I should have gone as you suggested, sounds like fun! See if you can remember to take two aspirin before bed. They sure don't help after Yeehaw!The older I grow, the less important the comma becomes. |

It's going to take a month just to get all of the glitter off of me!  But today is Lundi Gras, and tomorrow is the big day, of course, and I will be back, have to go ice down the beer, and start making a picnic lunch, WORK, WORK, WORK!!! I'll try to do a shot for each and every one of you! (serenity exits, wearing bells and beads...) Thanks! |

Every year I promise myself I will be at the next Mardi Gras-- and even Wednesday's regret over too Fat a Tuesday does not dissuade me...lol Nicely done Karen JThere is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Laughing, I am HOME tonight. My son asked me to behave myself...sigh...he patiently explained how his college years could be ruined by the trauma of seeing his mother in an episode of "good girls gone wild"-- and Jamie...you are always welcome, and a note to brian b? laughing, the temperature directly corresponds to the amount of anti-freeze ingested multiplied by layers of clothing removed!  And to everyone else...wish you were here...it's truly poetry in motion! Thank you! |

My god, n’awlins is crazy enough any time of the year…I can’t imagine what it’s like at Mardi Gras!!! Ya gonna be recovered enough in a couple weeks…I may just drag you out for a drink while I’m there. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
