Water Cooler - 5

I don't! (Sorry, Arlene!)

One of us will get our wish, Sue!

Yes, we can both look at the glass as half-full!

Wow! Check this out:

It will never pass, besides one look at these cheeks and she would never be able to eat in a restaurant!

Yes - no way will it pass. But baby fat doesn't count! She's far from obese.

I've been to dinner with friends where the manager told my girlfriend's morbidly obese husband he had made his last trip to the buffet of desserts. There really is no reason why anyone needs two dinner plates of desserts.

What's success without excess?!

Success at being morbidly obese? Repulsive.

They probably are already embarrassed about their size. Embarrassing them in public would probably make them go home and eat anyway because they already feel down about themselves...

Probably true.

I've been to the home of Mr. Hefty and it's food non-stop.

I'm obese. Probably others here too. Good for you if your not.

Happy to say that we now officially have Santana on the Mets. Can only imagine how much ticket prices will rise next year between his signing and the new stadium!

Dave - I've seen your photo and you're suffering from anorexia compared to the almost 400 pounder I wrote about with a 62 inch waist.

And I look forward to pinching Dave's tushie!

Hope all the cameras are ready!

Can't guys have bonding time alone?

But how does Dave feel about it? You do talk about your feelings, don't you?

Of course - he's a therapist, remember?

Yes, I do. That's why I thought you'd share your feelings with him.

I have no secrets with Dave.

Sounds like a country and western song title.

Well, Victor, at least now the Mets won't have to pay extra to hire someone to sing the National Anthem each game!

Why??

Duh! Santana can sing for them!

I assume you're referring to Carlos Santana, but does he ever sing??

Boy, I guess I posted that "joke" too far down from yours to be funny! Can't blame me for trying, though!

Hee hee.

At least he didn't go to the NYY. Boston would have to face him 18 times in 09 during the regular season. This is a shot inside the green monster. I am going to try to get to a spring training game, but Victor has me buying Viburnums and Polly has me lusting after lilacs and then there were all the coops. So it may be a pipe dream. Patti

That's cool, Patti! Spring Training would make for a nice trip - to get "up close and personal" with the team.

I have a sis who's a huge Bruins fan. Last year for her birthday, her kids gave her a ride on the Zamboni!

I thought you were going to the Arboretum with me (pouts). (I wanna go to spring training too, or the Pawtucket Red Sox. DH says all the flights will be full with all the other fans heading down!) x, C

Cool shot, Patti. That's where that hi-tech scoreboard is, right?

You got that right, Victor!

Yes, they do it the "old fashioned way" Here is it close up of "The Wall" See all the dings. I am still going to see the lilacs with Carrie and who ever else wants to meet us in Boston at some point in May. Patti

Here is the bull pen with the tomato plants in 2006, I saw none last year. Don't know why. The pitcher working out is Jon Lester just before he found out he had lymphoma. Patti

Are those Tessie's tomatoes?

No rain outs allowed ! Karen Hesse lives in Brattleboro and was a real regular in my Bookstore there. Too funny. So they can be Tessie's.

Finally received my new notebook today - hooray!! I'll be setting it up in the next day or so and will finally be back upstairs.

Happy for you, Victor!
