Welcome back Gaylean. I've missed you.
No idea what you are talking about there with the Hokey Pokey , but glad you had such a great time. Looking forward to seeing photos, so get moving with those please.
Urgh, that spider looks like it lives in a hole in the house.
Love the pic of Ethan.
hi, all, I am awake at 4am...couldn't sleep! Crazy.
Ian, they had "Out and Proud in Chicago" on our PBS channel last night, and I recorded it. I am watching it now while I am up this morning....
It's great to see Sukie's part in it....that's really a big deal! Good for him!
Hi All.....I got some sad new today. __________________
I posted this on November 9, 2008.....I just found out today that my best friend died on March 24, 2009. I've been crying all day.
What a shock. At least I know he's hanging out in heaven with my mom.

sweetie...it's normal to feel that way... you're in shock and you need lots of love...![]()
Deb, I'm so sorry![]()
Oh, I am so sorry to hear about the death of your friend.....how quickly it can happen. Lots of love and hugs, Connie
Deb - so sorry about Brian -- I love picturing him eating w/ your mom & dancing w/ your grandmother.

Oh Deb firstand
Next as a read your post I thought I had read it before, and then I realized you were quoting and I started to feel hopeful for you then dashed![]()
I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a friend at such a young age who is "healthy" just makes NO SENSE. Death is part of life and when it comes for those as our elders I think if we are graceful in handling it that is fair, but when it comes to the young there is nothing graceful about it.
Cry as you need and talk to us and share. That is what seems to get us through our grief sometimes.
I'm a big believer in those that we know in life know all of those the rest of us know in heaven. So while Brian is dancing and eating up a storm my dad and Michelle's dad are standing off to the side chuckling (as they have found each other there, as Chel & I have here) It will all become clear for us when we reach heaven, until then have faith and trust in God.![]()

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.
You put your left foot in,
You put your left foot out,
You put your left foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.
You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in
And you shake it all about.

Deb - sorry to hear about your friend
Kathe - happy to hear about your son surprising you
Now I've got to get back to work![]()
Oh, I know the Hokey Pokey( we call it the Hokey Cokey), but was wondering what she was meaning in her post.
Do you do 'put your whole self in' verse?
By the way, between verses, do you all do chorus type thing. Standing in a circle, holding hands walking into the middle raising arms in air and back x3, then doing actions for last line?
Oooooooh, okee cokey cokey
Oooooooh, okee cokey cokey
Oooooooh, okee cokey cokey
Knees bend, arms stretch bow wow wow(or wow wow wow or something that sounds like that?)
When we were there with the grands in May we watched the Country Bear Jamboree doing this with guests, and I was waiting for the chorus bit, but they didn't do it and it didn't feel right!!!
Yes Deb, those are popular at big parties. Perhaps not the Hokey Cokey these days. The Conga is always popular.
We do put our whole selves in....but I dont' think we have ever done the chorus thing. So we do the same thing, just a little differently.
I love it, it's fun!
What Gaylean is referring to is the old age question of...'what's it all about?'
She's saying, what if....the hokey pokey really is...the answer to the question....'what it's all about'.
Because the last line of the hokey pokey verse is....'that's what it's all about'.
Did that help or confuse you more?![]()
