<p>Great songs for MOWC! Okay, back to the business of REDHEAD WEEK. There’s a cranberry-ginger upside down cake on the bar, so help yourselves. And, it’s never too early for Uptown Manhattans. Drinks are on the house for all redheads this week. Half-price for anyone with a redheaded relative. </p>
<p>Adding to my list of favorite redheads…Scream queen and horror heroine, Hazel Court. :eek:</p>
<p>sluggbugg–do you have a recipe for that cranberry-ginger upside down cake? :)</p>
<p>I like redhead week! Drinks with cranberry or pomegranate are half-price!</p>
<p>Pulling up and catching up…</p>
<p>MOWC, I am sorry for your loss (my prayers are with you and your family).</p>
<p>Pulling up a chair for Kelsmom (who is coming over in her red shoes) to celebrate her new job!!!</p>
<p>Thanks, all. We got through the funeral and I get to go back to TN tomorrow. I’m so ready to be home. It’s been a tough week.</p>
<p>What do I see?..The Sarah Palin merged thread has a bazillion hits and is gaining on the Alley. This is just not right.</p>
<p>People! Get a grip! The convention ends tonight and I want to see all of you back in here as usual, drinking, singing karaoke loudly and badly, and throwing peanut shells on the floor. Or I will have to sent the marmots out to fetch you.</p>
<p>safe travels MOWC. You deserve a break.</p>
<p>So sorry about your troubles, MOWC.</p>
<p>I just heard from S who had scheduling woes…turns out a course was misnumbered and the prof gave him permission to register for the WRONG number. So the computer didn’t recognize it and it took a number of humans to fix the problem. Anyway, he is indeed full-time once again, keeps his scholarship, etc. etc. :eek:</p>
<p>That’s as good a reason for a drink as any.</p>
<p>I agree, mommusic! To you and a “full load!”</p>
<p>Drink please. Too many broken bones in one family… This leg is my H’s (posted separate thread about it). Need alcohol to chase down the oxycontin. Oh wait-- the pain pilss are for my H??</p>
<p>And now I bid you adieu – we’re on our way to Peru!</p>
<p>(Hey cool, that rhymes!)
We’ll check in with you all on the flip side: take good care and keep posting so SA doesn’t slide into the dreaded Second Place!</p>
<p>(And if you thought for a minute that I wasn’t relishing the chance to be out of the country for the next couple weeks, think again. 
)</p>
<p>Be well!</p>
<p>(EDIT: Oh jym, that’s terrible news! I will think strengthening thoughts for him… and for you!)</p>
<p>Okay, I’m here (throwing off the red shoes to reveal my fine bunion). </p>
<p>MOWC, so sorry to hear about your stepdad. My condolences to your family. It must be especially hard on your mom. </p>
<p>I was too worn out from the whole Kwame Kilpatrick spectacle today to watch McCain tonight. Instead of thinking politics, I raised a glass of find red Michigan wine. It’s good stuff! I’ll share …</p>
<p>I wanted to grab a quick drink in the Alley, but H says is is time to feed the kitty. Spooning baby food into a cat’s mouth is a dangerous job! It feels like feeding a sabertooth tiger, LOL! She already chewed up a couple of baby spoons… So far, my fingers are all intact. Wish me luck!</p>
<p>Oh No jym!! okay it’s 7:45, maybe a mimosa is in order. thank god the convention is over, that Palin thread got a little scary!!</p>
<p>4Giggles-
well, it’s only 5:45 where we are, but not gettin’ much sleep around here… Mimosa sounds good</p>
<p>Has anyone noticed anything odd about post counts? I am missing about 30 from my count, and I just spotted some “new member” with over 4 billion posts! That’s what it says, anyway. 
</p>
<p>Is it possible someone has hacked these numbers?</p>
<p>LOL mommusic- 4 billion?? Is that an example or did you really see that number?? I seem to remember from reading the communit forum, that they were working on the “views” count. Maybe this is part of that.</p>
<p>I had to count the digits to be sure, but yes, 10 digits is a billion. It was 4,294,967,295 to be exact. 
SamuraiLandshark.</p>
<p>LOL. I found poster rds248 had 4,294,967,295 posts also. Busy people.</p>
<p>Checking in from the “fini” side of moving DS into last college digs. </p>
<p>Time out to say hey to MOWC - thinking of you. And jym - you, too. Give H one or two of the oxy pills. Take the rest yourself, as needed, because - let’s face it, we all know it’s the mom/wife who bears most of the burden.</p>
<p>Anyway, m&s!… missed you! Thought of you as we took in the new cool MICA Drum (mega glass new residence/studio art building at m&sD’s art school in Baltimore for the rest of you who might be wondering …you were wondering, weren’t you?).</p>
<p>Now, everyone… in honor of our All Things Red Scheme, I’ve moved m&sD’s red desk into the back corner. It fell out of her dorm room window freshman year (you’ll have to search WAYYY back in the Alley archives to dig up that story). But I saved it. I knew it would come in handy: now available for all Alley denizens who need to honestly pretend that they are doing something constructive while in here – just change your outgoing Voice Mail to say “I’m at my desk but unavailable at the moment…” It’ll be true.</p>
<p>Rounding out Redhead Week with tomato sandwiches, cherry Coke and Red Velvet chocolate cake. Help yourself.</p>
