Garrett Duke

*Raises eye brow* Poor helpless fourteen year old? You didn't seem so helpless a moment ago when ya was threatening poor little ol' Garrett. Now he don't take kindly to being lied to...

*rolls eyes* Don't give me that look

*Shakes head* How could anyone forget about such an important thing as the Daytona 500...the superbowl of NASCAR?! LOL sorry had to give you a hard time. Sorry your kids were giving you a hard time. Well you missed out on a good long race. The entire race lasted six hours because a big chunk of the track fell out due to the heavy amount of rain they had last Friday there. Red flagged it once for an hour and forty minutes and then thirty laps later red flagged it for a half hour. Glad they finished the race and fixed it -would have been disappointed if they called the race on the second one due to the hole. Though have to say was disappointed with the ending...Gordon crashed on the last lap to finish 26th. My other driver broke an axel - perhaps due to the hole - and had to go to the garage early due to it and finished 35. Oh well it shows stuff like that can happen at anytime to anyone. We are onto California next Sunday. . .

*Shakes head* How could anyone like the snow? Beats me, but am glad at least someone does. HA HA. Glad you are getting the stuff you like then. Hate the humidity as well, but at least you can drive in it without going off the road or what not. Or at least I can take Lilly, my dog, outside without having to get all dressed up for it...plus she does her thing a lot better when there isn't all that yucky white stuff on the ground. LOL

Consider yourself lucky...I have all seasons on DVD of the Dukes and yet can't recall the last time I Sat down to watch an episode. How bad is that? Good luck at getting the rest of the seasons while you rewatch the seasons you have!

*Sings "Dust on the Bottle"* It's a great song. LOL. It would be great to see him in concert, even better to see Toby. Would love to see Toby again in concert.

Well like I said, it was just another fan that had predicted that Gordon would retire because of his back. It is nothing official and Gordon hasn't said anything about retiring - in fact the last I heard him talk about it, he said he wanted to be racing long enough so that his daughter Ella would remember him racing. As of now she is only two years old and a couple months. So hopefully that means he has a while to go, I hope that his back pain will go away completely - so he isn't in any pain and that he can continue to race. I'd be so lost without him - NASCAR to me wouldnt' be the same.

Jimmie Johnson is number 48 of the Lowe's silver and blue car. He's my second in line in my line of favorites, so I would have someone to go for. Gordon owns part of Johnson's car, so even if Gordon does retire, I'd still be going for his protoge/his driver.

Oooo a NASCAR club, sounds fun and interesting .

*Smiles* I noticed that too when I saw her collage and wondered how I earned such an honor to be top and in center of the collage. Though I'll have to be careful being in between the likes of Cowboy and Alex.

*Takes a deep breath* Whew...sorry for venting like that. It still makes me upset and waht is worse is NASCAR didn't say nothing as they did to Keselowski a few weeks ago.

I know...forgive and forget, move on. I will shut up about it...or try to. But I am soooo glad to hear you have the same opinion about the announcers! These announcers pick one driver that is "hot" at the time and only seem to follow them. Forget anyone else out there. I guess I should be lucky it is Johnson and not Kyle Busch, but I would highly rather it be Gordon. LOL For examply during pit stops one time, the announcers began to talk about Paul Menard at pit, but stopped after a sentence to talk about Johnson's pit. I like Johnson alright, but it is getting old.

*Tip toes very quietly behind Daisy* BOO!

I thought it was cute. I had to share it with someone that would understand. Even if it is just Gordon. LOL. Not a week past the season and I am already missing it...championship week is next week with the awards on Speed Channel I think Friday sometime. Normally I don't get to watch it, maybe this year I will be able to. Hopefully Gordon and Edwards and Martin at least win something for their efforts and all that.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving with lots of turkey!

A few years ago, Kyle Petty came to a town near me in his motorcycle (can't think of what he called it) but it was to support that. I guess it was him and several drivers that toured around the country on motorcycles. I got to go, but really didn't see anything. A bunch of people drove in on motorcycles wearing helmets so you couldn't see who was who and if they didn't have helmets (Though I am sure they did) they didn't look at us. Though I think Petty did take his helmet off and looked around - but they could have done something else earlier because in the mall where it was at, it gave an earlier time than what the radio had said. So who knows. But they were throwing souviners out to the crowd - I got a bandana and then bought a shirt to help support it. It was neat, but was wishing to see who they were and all that. (I want to say that Kenny Shrader was there, but am unsure. I know he travels with Kyle sometimes...then again, I could be wrong about that too.)

A nap sounds nice. LOL. A day off and you spend it at a library? Enjoy the kids!

A NASCAR race...boring? *GASPS!* LOL. Can't recall the spring race off the top of my head but if I am remember the race correctly you are about right about that, though I would never admit so. I just hope Gordon can lead some laps and get more points....perhaps even WIN the race. LOL

Daytona in the chase...now that would be great. It would kinda be neat if they started with Daytona and ended the season with Daytona. Daytona or Bristol...that's a hard choice to make of which track to go. Or how about Chicagoland? LOL...so many great tracks and so little chase time!

about being bored being bad

About the same here. Garrett is Garrett. LOL. That and there never seems to never be enough time. How about you?

Ah dang it, I missed you! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Ah Darius...lol. I think I would like to hear a song or two from Hootie and the Blowfish and hear what they sound like. I never heard their music and Darius has such a great voice! Funny thing is, the only time I've heard of the group is back years ago when I watched the Cubs games regularly. The announcers back then loved Hootie and the Blowfish and I remember always wondering how they would get a name like that for their group and had wondered what they would sound like.

Ah it's you.

I'm doing OK.

Ah man Daisy...we just can't seem to catch up with each other, can we? It does sound really fun to RP with you, but as of now, don't know when I'll have the time to do so. I am going on a small vacation tomorrow, be back Monday sometime only to leave town again Friday and return sometime next Saturday. Hopefully sometime soon we can catch up with each other and do that.

I am sorry that I haven't been able to chat with you and have been gone so much. Sorry

Ah that's funny they starred out the first part of s -h - i -t -z - u. I got part cussword for a dog I guess.

Ah they should. At least something to think of and to try. Thanks.

Scary as it may seem, I hope that Lori keeps being nice for you and for others. Glad to hear she has decided upon returning to Hazzard

I'm on if you want to chat, if not, have a great day and a great week!

ahhh don't wish your life away...it will be here before you know it.

I've gotta ask...who is the photo of on your ID or whatever you call it?

Ahhh hockey...the sport I never got. LOL. Sure it is fun and exciting once you understand and know the players. Glad it is back for you. As for me, my other favorite sport, baseball is over and done with. Well they still have the post season, but when the Chicago Cubs are done, I'm done. So now it is just NASCAR and a little football left for me. What you going to college for? Good luck with it.

Ahhh I see. That is OK. Don't want you to feel like you have to either. Was just making sure I didn't scare you away. I hope you have a good rest of the weekend if I don't talk to you tomorrow. I think I'm going to get ready for bed...if I can find the energy to do so.

Ahhh I think I got all my sopping done. Now all I got to do is wrap and write the cards to mail. If only I had five other arms and antoher body or so to help out. LOL. Oh well. Ig uess what gets done, gets done.

Snow...*gasp*...you said the four letter word! EEHK! *Covers ears* can't say snow or see snow...no snow! LOL. I agree with you. It can have snow for Christmas and then disappear. I am so ready for spring once Christmas is over. How bad is that?

Ahhh thanks, but if I'm not boring, then neither are you
