Good morning! So yes, Sandy (aka Apple) and I have been talking outside of NAM. As of now, I'm still waiting. I can't be upset as she's still trying to get everything for Martha tied up. With the holidays, and everything, yeah... I'm sure had it been any other time of the year, we would have had pictures by now or the car itself So, thanks for patiently waiting with me

Yes, to answer a previous question, yes, I'm in the funeral industry

So after all the beer I've had in this thread, I've managed to go and get myself knocked up. I'm officially cut off.

Skillet - let's hope your baby comes before mine!

Sarasota in March!!
Very interesting. I wondered what kind of results you'd seen from it. I don't think MDs take into account the importance of Myofascial Dysfunction or Lymphatic Drainage for that matter.

Do you know much about the "Bowen Technique" and Autonomic Rebalancing? Any opinions on that?

FYI- Sarasota is absolutely beautiful in March!

THAT IS IT!

I found a video on YouTube that I will try and post. (I don't know if I can do it or not... we'll see.) I will post the link at the very least. I looked through a few videos and found what I thought was the best one. It has the most bass... although no video can recreate what it actually feels like to be there under the arches with the loud music, body shaking bass and crazy light show. It's definitely one of my most magical memories. Ok... here goes!

Thanks! Me likey!

I love the combination of the kitten and the screaming guitar!

I think the one I posted is by David Foster. It was quoted as "high spirited". Hmmm... "MINI/Mini"... "spirited"... works for me.

Great video, although I read it wrong to begin with...... I thought you said screaming kitten and I kept expecting one of them to get stepped on or something

I didn't know what this version was. But I just found it... the Family Guy version. Hysterical! Of course I like the Family Guy so...

Anyway... buh-bye for this afternoon.

That is my husband's favorite "X-mas" song. I can't listen to the original anymore.

I wish I had known sooner. My Christmas wish list would have been a little different - baby Recaro seat, Wet Okole seat covers, baby autocross helmet...just kidding.

And definately one of these!!

A christmas song for all........



I am heading to Florida tomorrow from Michigan and based on 14 degrees vs 70+ degrees is it any wonder why Grandma isn't in a hurry to get to Vancouver!

Since I will be unable to follow the next 10 days of excitement on this thread, I wish everyone on the thread following "As the mini turns", a safe, happy, and blessed Christmas. Going to see Mickey with the kids then going to visit my mom-in-law

Who knows where this thread will be in another 10 days

Skillet - Good luck and I hope Santa brings you everything on your Christmas list - especially the Mini

Keep enjoying the popcorm as we all wait!

I'm counting on everyone to continue the virtual beer fest...

Consider the next beer gone (I've lost count) and toasted in your honor
