RetroLounge Appreciation Thread :-)
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 01:18 PM by lizziegrace

How you got two kids who could be models is beyond me. :P


One of the few men who could wear a union suit and still look... :evilgrin:



There just aren't words for this one...



His hugs are healing. :hug:

You're a special, talented, wonderful human being.

Many good vibes and prayers headed your way sweetie. :hug:

27. I love those pictures... thanks. RetroLounge used to be kind of a pal.
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 07:11 PM by Radio_Lady
We share the initials with RL and had some wonderful exchanges through what was clearly a difficult time for him. I admired his kids in other pictures. He told me a bit about his life. I still enjoy his poetry and read his threads occasionally.

But we had a spitfight... I was pugnacious (creeps, I can't even blame it on my PERIOD anymore!!!) and after cooling off, I tried to PM him. No go.

Somebody please tell him I'm sorry... tell him I'm not even going to see the Hannah Montana 3-D movie tomorrow as it turns out. Granddaughter is going with friends instead. Grandma and Grandpa just paid for the tickets for their beloved granddaughter on her 10th birthday.

In peace,

Radio Lady

Milwaukee during the next year or so, we're going to come and shake your hand in the flesh. Any man who wears cowboy jammies is a friend of ours.

Books? We love 'em -- and hubby Audio Al spends a lot of time in the travel section at our local dealer, the world renowned Powell's book store, all three locations in Portland.

:hug:

Warm regards,

Radio Lady Ellen

25. Most of the ice had melted in town
but there was ice at my place. The sidewalks and cars were covered. I think the worst of the storm was west and north of Ohio.

26. To my best new Poetry Pal who unselfishly promotes our well-being with his Daily Poetry Thread,
no matter what.

Can't tell you how I appreciate it. It's like, however bad the menu of my day may have been,
I know there's always gonna be one bite of baklava.

Thanks, you!!!!

51. I have six bananas from the local homeless shelter. I donated some clothes, they gave me
bananas -- very ripe -- eat immediately before the orangutans get 'em.

There's an old song that starts:

"Yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today..."

I can't remember any of the other lyrics.

You'll have to hire another singer. This one just quit.

'Nite now. I have a meeting at the radio station tomorrow (Saturday) morning, so

Although I don't always get around to reading all his many poetry threads, when I do, I am touched.

I am impressed with how consistent he has been with his offerings.

He's got the heart and soul of a Poet. :thumbsup: Thanks, Retro, for bringing culture and an appreciation of books to the lounge! We love ya!!
