Sofs CONGRATULATIONS. WHERE'S THE CAMERA????
I join you in the club tonight--not sure how long either!
Oh my goodness. Oh yes, Marky is the beautiful singer and so you have two sons who are quite far apart in age don't you.
Thanks for clarifying. You must have been confused with all my questioning. Well, it seems you have a very bright son if he is considering med school! Good luck to him.
You must be extremely proud.
Ladies, sounds like you've been two busy bees! Congrats on the 100's!
Thanks Klara--who won??? ARe you doing the happy dance or are you doing a sad dance?? How was the beach?
Thanks Klara and Denise
Denise oh you are the perfect 100 Girl!! you are there all the time
Yep there is a seven year difference between my two sons. Kevin is a wonderful boy too.. Yes i am a proud mama
Thanks for the compliment
Looks like you ladies are having a lovely time.. have fun
Sofs-what time is it where you are? It is 1:10 a.m. and I am going to bed now. Good night. It's been fun.
Night Klara
Rise and Shine hubbers! It's 7:30am, and I'm heading to work. Hope you are all having a beautiful peaceful morning.
Everglades are burning over here and it stinks all over the city... burning wood smell, that is. We need the rain badly, so I'm going to have to start doing my RAIN DANCE... (not a pretty sight)
Good afternoon Sofs. I'm baking today...and errands. How are you? You dropped just a smidgen-but you can push it back up in place I know.
back to work I go.... oh well, enjoyed two hours off in the sun this afternoon
GOOOOOOOD Evening all my friends Back at the house and back on computer. Fortunately grandson didn't get hands on this PC
So now I must get caught up and give my love to all of you and start writing hubs. I am waaaay behind
Hey Mark! So glad to have you back! I'm here trying to download the new Robbie Robertson CD "How to become Clairvoyant" I love that man! He's my hero! Do you like his stuff?
Hey there sweetie:) To be perfectly honest I have not heard of him, I'm sorry. I am the kind of guy that is into hard rock, such as Queensryche, Dream Theather, Northern Kings, Night Wish etc. My wife hatessss that music, but I grew up with it and have to listen with headphones or in Truck by myself
I'm so glad to be back. Grandson didn't mess this computer up thank God.
Trying to write one hub tonight, but not getting too far
BETH check this Vid from Nightwish (Phantom of the Opera) The best I have ever seen or heard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VgLKXD- … re=related
Mark, have you ever heard of The Band? or Eric Clapton? or Bob Dylan? Robbie Robertson played with all of them. Talk about classic rock!
Oh yes I have certainly heard of them and they are great!!!
Beings i just turned 55 and over the hills then watch these guys play some mean keyboard and Guitar Klara. Linda hates these bands BUT it keeps me Young at heart and I type well listening with my headphones as I write Hubs It's true Klara I need music to think
Nightwish and I don't know if you saw the link I sent to Beth of Phantom of the Opera (Nightwish) Awesomely done and the best I heard.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hwIcYnuIBg&NR=1
Video was very cool, Marky--thanks for sharing.
Good evening and now (after midnight) good night.
Good wonderful summer evening everyone! Kids are playing, I'm on the patio relaxing and the count is now 6 full days and 2 half days! Summer is almost here.
Oh you are sooooo lucky Hope you have a wonderful vacation.!!!!
I DEFINATELY will! We have some great local activities planned and we are taking our first real family trip to none other than Seasame Place! Great fun for the kids and well...fun to watch the kids have fun.
Yes it is fun to watch our children having fun, and it brings back fond memories of our childhood I think.
Hi Honey--sorry I wasn't playing here earlier and I missed you. It's after midnight now so I will be going to bed shortly.
Hi Marky--nice to see your PC is working No downloading on this, right?
HI Mark, Denise, Beth, Klara, Steven, Cardelean and everyone here ...hope your week started off well
Good morning Sophie, how is my girl this fine day, well night for me Marky is ready to hit the sack. Just put another hub out there. only 3 for this month. my grandson made my lap top sick so it must go to the PC Doctor
I will catch up with you tomorrow OK
Hugs and Kisses to you Sophie///Say HI to Marky for Me:)
Marky good nite and pleasant dreams to you Don't worry you will catch up soon and have more than 30 hubs in thirty days
Good Evening Sophie. Look at you !!! One more to you Hit the (100) mark. Way to go girl:) Have a wonderful rest of the day
Hi Sofs. I'm going to bed also. It is after midnight and I am very tired. Took the dog for an extra long walk this evening-instead of the usual 30 minutes we doubled it! Boy--we were all beat by the time we got home-even the dog,
Have a good day/evening.
Wow you seem to have had one huge spurt of energy ... I haven't taken the dog out in a while.. get the children to do it .. getting really tired and running out of energy these days
Try exercising. It has really helped me to get my energy level up. I feel so much better throughout the day when I do.
mmm .. i do few minutes on the elliptical machine,.. I need to increase the time .. Wish me luck
Trust me, I struggle with it every day (and even miss some days) but I feel so much better when I do! You can do it!
Sophie have you heard from Denise. Haven't see here around lately >
@Sofs, you're very welcome. And congrats on getting yourself back to 100!
@Mark, she is going to bed early tonight. She has an interview tomorrow morning.
Oh ..Thank you I won't wake her then:lol: Tell her when you talk to her I wish her all the best in the interview and hope to talk to her tomorrow:)
Look at you Sophie with a 100 again. I am so proud of you!!!!!
Great job
I'm working on hub # 196 right now:)
Taaaan tadadaaaaaaa!!! (drum roll)
I'm so excited I am jumping off my own skin!!!!
Hi Mark, Klara, Sophs, Denise, Steven and everyone!!
@ Mark - thanks for the link. First time I've heard of Nightwish
@ Klara - what's up with the drum roll?!? What's happening??? What did I miss?????
@ Sophs -- hey pretty lady!! how are you?
@ Denise -- thank you.
@ Steven -- keep missing you! (maybe cause you keep banning me!)
I'm going to Sports Authority to buy me the new HEAT shirt. YAY!!! They're playing tonight. I hope we win, although I'd like to see them go all the way to game 6 in Miami, and of course, have them win.
Also excited about summer vacation. I turned in the keys to one of my schools today, and Friday I'm done until mid-August. YAY!!! YAY!!! Can't wait!
How did you like the Video Beth? See- That is what I love because I started playing guitar at 8 years old and also play Korg X3 Keyboard. I can read music for the guitar but I play by ear with the keyboard with know problem. I listen to a song with headphones and start to play until I get it perfect. I guess I take after My Grandmom that play in the church each Sunday and didn't know how to read one note of music. and see knew every song in the churches book
@ Klara -- yippee!!! school's out and the Heat is on!!! Who could ask for anything more?!? Go Heat!! Gotta win it for our Klara!
@ Mark -- I enjoyed the video. I can't read a note of music. ha ha ha my aunt is a music teacher and she couldn't teach me. I've had about 4 instructors try but I'm note blind. I can sing perfect pitch but can't read the music. I listen to the score once and that's all I need.
You play. I sing. We can make some music together.
@ Sophs - pretty with 100!! Congratulations again Sophs! I'm still trying....trying...trying....
@ Denise -- Good luck with your interview tomorrow!! They'll be crazy not to want you!!
@ Steven -- remember, classes are almost over for the academic year. That means more play time in the forums!
xo
Oh boy That is a good plan you have there Beth:)
I must shine my Keyboard up for you (us).
Where would we practice? I don't think it will work via internet
I just published # 196 hub tonight.How have you been my dear?
Hey Beth.. Check this out. It will get your heart pumping that for sure. I just love this kind of music, of course many people don't like Linda
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hwIcYnu … re=related
Awesome guitar and Keyboard
Lovely to read the little notes from all of you..
@ Beth, I honestly don't know what I did differently for the scores to turn perfect. Thank you
@ Mark I need piano lessons too
@ Denise lady how are you.. what interview ???
@ klara is on a roll I guess summer holidays and games
@ Steven How are the film reviews going
Between Me and Klara we can help you with the keyboards
We lost.. but that only means they'll win in MIAMI!
Good morning everyone! Hope you all have a great Wednesday!
Oh Klara sorry to hear of the Heats loss. Anyway Hope you have a wonderful wednesday Klara:)
Get out on that beach with your lotion and get some rays. It will help you feel better:)
Heyya Mark! Got back from work early, going to catch up on my reading. Hope you're doing well.
Doing very well Klara. how is the weather in Miami? It is a hot one here in NJ today and tomorrow, 98 degrees
Can't wait till friday to get to the shore and feel that 10 degree difference in temp and smell that salt air _
It was nice today, although a bit cloudy. Some brush fires going around due to lack of rain... canals are really low too. It's scary. I hope it rains soon. I'm tired of watering my plants!
Since you're always sharing videos, here is one of my favorites... not as old as Queensryche, but this is my favorite singer/songwriter. The video is a cruel depiction of what happens to me every time I play in public. Hope you enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqPVXTOKqqs
I just tried to play it and there is a short advertisement about mormonism... it's so odd, since the song criticizes religion so badly.
Yeah I saw the ad too about the guy having a drinking problem. When I played in a band people would throw loose change onto the stage at school dances . I don't know if it was because they loved out playing or hated it and wanted to kill us
good Vid Klara, A little slower than I am used to Linda hates what I listen to so it's a wonder why I am half hard of hearing from my studio headphones
To be honest every hub I write I listen to music through my headphones and most of it is what I share with your. Actually my fingers type to the music believe it or not I must think I am on the Keyboards
WISH I HAD A ANGEL-- OH THAT'S RIGHT, I MUST, I QUIT DRINKING
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR4QvZUgpMc&NR=1
Hey--I will call you after I get out of library with J okay?
Danette--go on facebook and I will meet you there ok???
I'm here briefly just before starting suppoer (5 pm_
Job interview went well, all in all, BUT not going to take it. Not feeling at all comfortable with the job expectations-driving all over the rural countryside, covering four counties, (gas prices being what they are), and having to be on call in which means going out in the middle of the night trying to find these homes...that's not to mention what will happen during hurricane season. I was so excited and now I am discouraged once more. I wish I had more medical experience so I could just transition onto a med floor, but that is not my area of expertise. Bummer.
Don't be discourage Denise. Something will come up when least expected. You will see.. You will find the right job that will make you happy. Good for you that you didn't take that job. It sounds like so much expected out of you and going out in the middle of the night. I know you wouldn't like that too much. I know I would not. That's why I never went for funeral Dir. because of being on call and getting up for a call in the middle of the night with bad weather etc. Hang in there it will come:) try to enjoy your din din:)
ALSO Congrats again on that 100!!!! and 6 more hub you have written. You are a very busy girl
Hey sister--what happened???? I thought you were going on fb so I could chat w/you??? and you aren't there-or you are and are ignoring me.
Not tonight. Game is tomorrow. Yikes! We better win this one and next one!
Yeah-It's cool-like you, I like how you change it up. I am boring with mine-same ole, same ole...
Well, Marky is 3 from the 200 Mark. i am sure I will pull it off before the months end:)
Yay yay ... go for it Marky
wow how much you write
)
@ Denise.. hey the best is yet to come cheers
@ Klara.. better luck this time >
@ Beth .. HI Beth .. where are you ??
@ Steven .. HI
Just look at you holding that 100 for days Way to go Denise!!!
Stay cool, It is a scorcher here in NJ
Hi Sofs, I hope the best is yet to come. I'm bumming right now...back to the drawing board of work.
How are you? I'm going to bed soon. I still have two hubs to write before tomorrow to keep up with the thirty, and obviously that won't happen tonight.
Take care and (((Hugs))) to you.
Talked with Cara on skype tonight. She was enjoying quiet time--no kids (Nana's house) and hubby was out for awhile.
Denise , Mark, Klara, Beth, Steven ... arise and shine.. Have a great day
Hello there Sophie!!! Man it is one HOT!!! Day here in New Jersey USA. Reaching 100 this afternoon with some high humidity. Hope all is well and you had a great day. Tell Marky Hello for me:)
Good afternoon Mark, Denise, Sofs, Beth, Steve, and anyone else dropping by! Hope you are all having a great day, mine started a bit weird, but with the Heat win tonight it should get better, plus it was the kids' last day... I'm excited about that. Tomorrow is just to turn in the keys, and wave good bye until mid August. I made it alive!
Mark, I had my years of Queensryche and other heavy metal bands, but I've moved on to other rock genres ever since. It's not that I don't appreciate that type of music, but I have different tastes now, and listening to Anthrax doesn't do much for me anymore. I can appreciate any music that is of good quality, from the ol' man Willy Nelson to Nine Inch Nails. If the music speaks to me, it's good.
Hello Klara on this HOT!!! Day in NJ. How are you doing with the heat ( Team)and your (weather)? Yeah my taste for music changed too, I used to listen to the Turtles,Bee Gees Beatles and all that kind of music. I believe that was about 100 years ago it seems What I listen to just gets my heart pumped up. even though I can't understand one word of what they are singing unless I read the lyrics around with the song. It amazes me how these musicians can play, such as going up and down those frets and one end to the other on the keyboards, not to say how many calories the Drummer is burning up!!!!
have a great evening and if you have a drink tonight at South Beach think of me having my Dunkin
xoxxoxo
Congrats Mark! That's a lot of hubs! I don't know how you do it. I can't get my butt to write all the inspirational stuff I had intended to do when I signed up. I do write, but other things, not online.
Heat game in an hour. We will be staying at home with our eleven year old eskie. She's a doll, and loves being the center of attention.
My husband got into a car accident this morning. I had to go to the rescue because he got nervous and the 20 year old girl who hit him was a total mess, crying, screaming. Everyone was okay, and the insurance is paying for everything and the rental. It's just that when you have a day like that, the best thing to do is STAY HOME. I'm turning in keys to the classroom tomorrow. Wooooohoooooo... Summer VACATION! In laws will be visiting in a couple of weeks, then it's off to Key West, St. Augustine, Cape Canaveral, Disney, etc. We'll see if I last that long!
First off, I am sorry for your husbands accident but very glad he is okay. That is the most important Klara. Take good care of him and enjoy your game and the little one too.
You are so lucky, in a few hours you will be off for the summer South Beach here you come
I hope you enjoy Keywest and all the other places with your in-laws
You lucky girl you
Go watch your game and let me know the outcome
oxoxox
@ Klara-I'm sorry also, to hear the news of the accident. Hope everyone is ok? My youngest daughter got into a fender bender earlier this week and was sick about it. It's a new car. But, no injuries and it was not involving another vehicle.
Hi Klara- How are you today? I'm busy trying to keep my nephew busy--he is out of school now!
You teachers are all the same
Cardelean is counting the days as well--Cara is my daughter and teaches 4th grade. You see her on this thread occasionally when she has a spare moment. She has a 2 & 4 yo at home and my granddaughter is out of preschool now b/c mommy is home. But, they are both going to attend vacation bible school for a week or so... Hey... Maybe that is where I need to send J
If he wasn't so old (teen) I would send him off to camp
Well, at least he will be at the hospital volunteering again this summer for four weeks (I hope). And, my brother in MN also invited him out for a week to visit his cousins so that will help.
It is sooo hot and muggy here tonight. I'm staying in until it is cool enough to let the dog out for a run in the field. Grilling chops on the deck tonight with a nice glass of pear wine. YUM! Applesauce and baked potatoe!
YUM YUM YUM! Sounds tasty! Can we come over?
I'm not cooking until I get into my summer-break mode. I need to feel the vibe. I'm working on it... but it's not quite there yet.
Yeah! Find him some kind of summer camp where he can go and do something... anything... away!
It's hot here too, and it's been cloudy all day but not a drop of rain. We need it badly! Watch it rain all weekend and ruin all our beach plans!
Yes we are all the same. I do the happy dance and my neighbors sing the blues.
One more week and I'll be doing that key turning in, happy dance!
Enjoying the cool breeze after the crazy hot day yesterday. Too many hot, sweaty kids in one room! Hope everyone is having a great evening and enjoying the beautiful summer weather.
It cooled down here in NJ by about 30 degrees > Was high 90's and got hit with a horrible storm with hail, lighting and all that good stuff, but dropped the temp to the 60's. Wow what a fast change in a matter of minutes:)
Hey everybody long time no see, I think the name of this forum should have been....
The one who posts the most is the winner.
Clean life you win hands down. lol

I am sorry for your loss, but don't worry they will pull it off with the 2 wins Cheer Up Dear:)

Turning in the keys today. Yay! Summer's here! And my house looks like a dump, which means I'll have to spend two weeks just cleaning up and putting all things in place.
I love you guys! Hope you are having a wonderful Friday!
Enjoy your summer off and maybe Linda and I will stop down and see you.
Klara-did they win last night? I was so tired I went to bed early. I have another meeting with H.R. this afternoon and I am feeling nervous about that.
Have a good w/e and on into your summer vacation.
Wish you the very best lady.. don't worry ..remember the best is yet to come I am praying for you.. God Bless!!
@ Mark ..how are you.. are you too busy these days ??
Hey there Sophie and YES I am very very busy at Cem. today Unbelievable Can't wait to get out and head down to the shore house for the weekend.Off this weekend from work WOOOHOOO
Great you have the weekend to look forward to Hey you have just two more hubs to reach 200... should I congratulate you today itself..
I'd wait untill Sundat It all depends on my lap top at shore if it will work or not.
Grandson as you kknow downloaded something that messed it up bad
bonjour Klara, Sophs, Mark, Denise and Steven!!!
Mark, you need to determine whether it is hardware or software. If it's hardware, you need to see if it's the motherboard or another circuit board. Motherboards are too expensive to replace. Better off just purchasing a new computer.
If its software, then back up your work, and format the hard drive. You will have to reinstall all your applications and information.
BUT
before you format your hard drive, run a virus scan (a full and complete one) first. If you don't have a virus protection software, go and purchase it. The free stuff on the net isn't always good. Try Norton or Kapersky. They're good and they automatically update.
When you run the scan, it will provide you with a report of what was found. It sounds more like a virus or trojan. If it is, then you can remove it with the software. If the problems still occur after you have done this, take it to a reputable computer tech shop and tell them you need help in removing a trojan off the hard drive. They will help you do this (probably for a fee, but much cheaper than buying another computer or formatting your hard drive)
Once your machine is clean, keep the anti-virus protection up to date and check your firewall settings to keep future viruses/trojans out.
well Beth that is some very helpful information Honey. Thank you so much, The info come up that it is the hard drive. I try installing Nortons but when ever I try Nortons or malware etc the entire computer shuts down, I think I may get run that one over with my truck and get a new one.
You are a sweetie Beth. I will work on it when I get to the shore and see what I can do. If I don't see you because of no PC have a wonderful, safe and happy weekend
Closing office up:) 4:30pm Heading to shore and if computer works I will see you all tonight if not, I'll see you Monday
@ Klara- hope your tems wins and enjoy your vacation
@ Sophie- Enjoy your rest of the day
@ Beth - Thank you again for all your info to me!!!
@ Denise - Haven't heard from you Hope all is well and have yourself a wonderful weekend.
Love you all!!!!!!
Mark
Marky-had a meeting with H.R. today. It's been a very long day. I have been given 30 days to find another position in the system before termination. But, at least I have 30 days. That's a little something.
Oh Man, I didn't know that. That is what choice they gave you. I thought everything was all fixed for you. That is horrible.
I hope you find something. Maybe you and I should think about persuing the D.T. thing. I am going to because first the drive one way is 60 miles and now I am worried about when it snows and ice etc. That will be bad. Also I was thinking about looking into the hospital down here. They are tripling the ER and sure they will need some more employees. It is only 3 mile from my house. and a fairly new Hospital. I have 10 years experience in the Hospital field. Man I have done about everything don't you think?
hang in there Denise I think I got this computer fixed. No problems so far and it's been about 45 min.
xoxoxoxo
Marky
Mine was yesterday, Today I turned in the keys! YAY!!!!
@Mark - Yes, I was just coming from the beach, and got stuck in major traffic by the airport. Don't know if it was because of that superjet that visited the airport today, or Heat fans waiting for them. Cameras and all... Oh, well... gotta go take a shower, get the sand off me. Talk to you tomorrow! Hope you are doing well.
@ Cara--YAY! One more step toward summer vacation.
Hey Denise... no, they are coming to play the last two games in Miami now... starting tomorrow. We're planning to go to downtown, where they'll have a giant screen outside the arena for those of us that couldn't afford to buy tickets. It gets really crazy, so we'll have to leave early. If they lose tomorrow, that's it. It would be a win for the Mavs. But that's not going to happen. NO WAY!
I'm sorry about your job. Thirty days and with your experience, you should be able to find something. I wish you much luck.
Thanks. The 'challenge' is to find a job among one of the three hospitals that is in the system that still honors the pension plan that I was originally offered on my date of hire. I am one year away from being fully vested and it has been quite an ordeal when this process of termination began in April with the new manager that was hired in. she is a royal B.B.B. (see my hub earlier to find out what that means, ) and was gunning for me to cry and run away. It didn't happen that way, but I am despartley trying to hang obto my pension!!!
Good luck at GAME time tomorrow.
@ Beth - I ran Norton and they removed the pay verson which expired and put in a free Nortons from comcast which is included in our internet service. It took about one hour. PC keep on shutting down during install I think I got it though. No more crap popping up and shutting me down. looking good and thanks again for all you info. You are a smart little girl you are.
See ya tomorrow. 12;00 am here so I must get my resat for the whole 1.5 hours as usaual I will be back up about 2am> Same thing everynight
Sleep well and sweet dreams
HI mark, Denise, Klara, Beth, cara.. Hope you all have an awesome weekend
Very well Thank you .. are you having enough fun..these holidays ??? You sound like you are having fun..
I'm trying. Just started today, but it will get better. How about you? All good?
Our summer is over and the kids are back school it was a fun packed summer for me
Your summer is over all ready. Are we that different in that too? and our time. I should of payed more attention in school Sophie and I would have known all this stuff
Have a great day
Oh yes.. Mark.. April and May are our summer months now we are already into the Monsoon season when it rains.. no autumn and hardly any winter out here ..
Alright sofs, Mark... I'm off to bed and catch up on my reading. I hope I don't have any nightmares. Catch with you tomorrow. Good night, you, beautiful people!!!
Good night to your too Klara. Sleep well and see ya tomorrow. I am thrilled my computer is working good:)
xoxoxo
Reading Klara, oh I can't wait to do that again!!!!! I'll still be reading my kid books to get ready for next year but oh to read a grown up book again, ahhhh...
hey things are good glad to see everybody enjoying the summer already.
Up early to work on some hubs and grades before the little ones get up. Busy weekend ahead but that's ok, the real fun is just around the corner! Happy Saturday everyone.
Happy Saturday to all. Pipe burst under shore house Waiting on plumber. Thank God it is under the house and not in the house
Yuck! Glad it's not inside either. Good luck.
Thanks Cara, Still waiting as more and more water floods below, bummer!!!!!!!! Please now I will miss most of nephews B-Day Party more of a bummer.
Have a wonderful day !!!!!
Hello everyone! It looks like we're going to get some rain. We need it badly. Everglades are burning up and the stench is terrible when the wind blows the smoke our way.
@Mark, you haven't moved in yet and you already broke a pipe?! How do you do it, buddy?
you'll get it fixed. I'm sure. Houses are like cars, one thing after another.
@Cara, I read a lot and try to stay away from TV. I don't watch the news and find out about hurricanes when I see my neighbors boarding up their windows. I love writing fiction, but because English is not my first language, I have to be on top of my game, so I must read. Funny thing is that I've spoken English longer than I have Spanish, which is my native tongue. So, I'm like the coffee creamer (Half & Half), plenty of Spanglish, but not completely fluent in either language. I can't get the "IN, ON, AT" correct, for the life of me! It's "in the year 2011", yet we say "on Tuesday, December 14" You are either IN or ON but I can't get it in my head. So I do a lot of googling, dictionary.com, and proofreading. No other choice.
But for now, I'm reading THE SHINING and it's scaring the living out of me, and I'm only on page 20. He is truly THE King!
@Denise - Listen to me on this one Denise. Do your visualization every day, as many times as you can. See yourself employed by the people that need to hire you. And repeat your self a mantra every thirty minutes saying. "I'm so happy because I was able to get hired by ___________ (fill in the blank). It works WONDERS! Trust me. It's the only magic that is real. Anything you want will come your way. That's how I found my hubby, and we are so meant to be together! I'll be praying for you, sending you good vibes!
Great advice Klara-yes, I will do this along with my meditation work. Thanks.
@klara, beth, diane, mark, denise, seanorjohn or whoever just happens to be here
Hows it going everyone? I hope all is well for everyone in hubberland today.
meow! meow! hey klara, long time no see. hows it going? I see you're looking as lovely as always.
Oh hey did you by any chance see the new thread i opened up about Charles Barkley? Apparently, he's betting on the Mavericks to win the championship this year, and you'll never believe what he's wagering.
Here's the link if you want to check it out.

commented.
We'll be outside the American Airlines watching the game from the giant screen. that is, if it doesn't rain.
It's crazy here, Steve. I've never seen so many MH flags in cars, homes, businesses, everywhere. I don't know why they say we (the fans) are not good. What they don't get is this... Miami is not a normal city in the US. Miami is like a big airport, where people come and go from one year to the next. So the crowd that might be in the arena one year might not be there the next. We still went to several games last year even though it was not as eventful as now. We'll just have to roll with the punches. We've become the world's favorite target. What else can we do except let out a fake cough and keep walking forward.
That's cool. Well I think Barkley kind of a hypocrite if you ask me, as he bailed out on two of the teams he's played for in an effort to win a ring, so he's really no better than James. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Heat fan either. However, you have to give credit where credit is due. The Heat have overcome a lot of adversity this year, and I think both sides have done a fair amount of trash talking. Sure, it wasn't that great for LeBron James and Dwayne Wade to laugh at Dirk's expense, but it was also just as rude for Deshaun Stevenson and Jason Terry to openly mock LeBron James' game. You could easily villify either side in this finals with the amount of trash talking anyway.
What surprises me though is that even though Jason Terry and Stevenson are mocking James publicly, he's not really making them pay for it like I know Michael Jordan would've. Hell, he'd get pissed off if you just called him, "Mr. Jordan" before a game, and score like 50 points against the team that offended him. Unfortunately, I don't know what's wrong with James, as he really needs to step up and prove all his doubters wrong.
Oh well I guess we'll have to wait and see. Anyways, thanks for commenting on my thread Klara. Although I have to say after watching the Heat in the Finals, they're a lot better than I thought they were, as I used to think they were overrated throughout the season. However, win or lose, they definitely shown they have a lot of heart.
They haven't exploded yet. I just have the feeling that these two games will be completely different... a much more aggressive Heat team and an outstanding game by Lebron as well. We'll have to see.
I really like Dirk. He's an incredible player and seems like a really cool guy.
About Barkley... I used to like him. That was before he started waving the Bulls flag over Heat fans outside the arena. I'm going to have to print his butt-naked picture and post it like a flag on my car window.
Well you're certainly a true fan of theirs, as I can tell. Although with Wade's hip injury, I don't know how effective they'll be. Therefore, if LeBron wants to shut up Stevenson and Terry, then game 6 is going to have to be his moment to shine this time, as there's no telling how limited Wade is going to be.
As for Barkley, if I was him, then I'd be praying to god that the Mavericks win Game 6, as I wouldn't want to bet against the Heat in a game 7 situation. Not when they have the home court advantage, and they would end up getting back the momentum by winning game 6 to force a decisive game 7. Don't get me wrong, I think it could go either way in game 7, as I think both teams are pretty evenly matched. Although history usually favors the team with the home court; which the Heat have in this series.
Yes, I'm a fan.
We will have to see, Steve. It will be worth watching for sure.
It should be one helluva a game that's for sure. You really think Barkley will live up to his end of the bet if the Heat do manage to win two straight games?
He better not show his face here in Miami or they're going to beat him up. Too many wanna-be ganstas here. Seriously. I'd be worried if I were him.
Hi everyone! Looks like everyone knows everyone here. Can I join the club?
sure rosie, we're always looking for new members. welcome aboard.
you sure can! It's a big happy family! We welcome all good people.
Thanks Klara and Steven. So this is like HP chat then. Cool!
Welcome aboard Rosie:) Lots of wonderful people in this forum:) YOu are welcome to stay around and meet these GREAT people:)
Hello Klara, Miss everyone today:( Busy getting pipe burst fixed and then had to go over to the Island where my sister lives for a B-Day party for my nephew. Now back and writing hub # 199 and in hopes to hit 200 before Sunday night as long as nothing else goes wrong at house. Have to replace so sheetrock in utility room where the pipe broke.
No problem it a fast fix. The weather here is bad today. Rain clouds, and just plain old nasty. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
Did your time win Klara? I hope so for you and all of Miami:)
Oh it is 11:11 on my watch I must make a wish:)
Tomorrow, Mark. We will win tomorrow, and will make Steven very sad.
I Hope they WIN!!!!!! What are you doing up so late?? Yeah like I should talk right:lol:
Night Klaraoxoxoxoo
I'm writing... I'm on vacation, I can afford to do it now.
Good night, Mark! Talk to you tomorrow!
Rise and Shine my Beautiful. Well looks like no sun here again, but it may come out later. I hope so cause I love the sun:)
Hope you havea great day Klara and I check in a bit later. Wife just left to go see her father in Cape May. I have to stay a fix up the wall and maybe finish painting my shed if no rain.
Linda told me to be good, I said I have no time to do otherwise
Tell Linda, that you've got plenty of online girls watching over you, making sure you stay out of trouble!
Well Klara, as I told you before, the only team I was rooting for to win a ring is Chicago, and they were knocked out of it by your Heat. Therefore, I really don't care who won this series. Sure, I wanted to see Kidd and Dirk win because I always thought they were great players, and I'll admit that I still hate the hell out of LeBron for what he did.
However, this year's playoffs has forced me to reevaluate the Heat in different light, as they showed a lot more heart and resolve than I ever thought they had. Hell, I used to think they were nothing more than a collection of arrogant a**holes that acted like bullies. However, as the playoffs rolled out, and seeing them overcome adversity, the Heat team has earned my respects. Seriously, they're a great team. Much better than I thought they were.
Will they be back next year? Definitely. Although if I was LeBron, I think he needs to leave the guaranteeing of victories to Mahamad Ali and Joe Namath. AFter all, it's great when a guy predicts that he'll win, then backs it up by actually winning. However, when you're like LeBron guaranteeing 8 titles to Miami, and saying it'll be easy, then you're just asking for trouble if you can't deliver. Therefore, if I'm LeBron's publicist, I'm just going to tell him to keep his big mouth shut throughout the entire next season, and just let his game do all the talking.
I think Wade is still capable of being a great player, and I think if Haslem had been healthy all season, then they might've beaten the Mavericks this year.
I think Spoelstra showed how truly great he is as a coach, since he still managed to coach Miami up to having one of the best records in the league; in spite of chemistry issues early on between Wade and James.
As for Bosh....well I think if he can get a lot more defensive on those boards, then he should do alright.
James.....he needs to figure out what his exact role is on the team, as it's clear he still wants to be the alpha dog on the Heat even though it's Wade's team. Therefore, they're going to need to work that out during this off season if they can, as I doubt teams are going to let up on them anymore than they did this season.
Anyways, I'm sorry that the Heat lost but if it's any consolation, my Bulls didn't win the title this year either. Therefore, you're not alone. Besides, I'm sure the Heat will be back next year.
Good morning Steve!
Started my day listening to Neil Young and Old 97's Born to be in Battle (thinking of the Mavs, of course) It's a beautiful day in Florida, the sun's coming in through the window and I'm on vacation, so there are worse things than not winning an NBA title, especially when my team showed to not have an equal passion for winning. It is what it is. I'm over it and I'm smiling. They need to get it together for next year. That's all.
I hope you are having a beautiful day as well. XOXO
@ ALL WINNERS - Good morning to all of you. It's going to be a beautiful and eventful day!
