;D
No, the motivation comes soley from my mirror...just before it breaks :D

sure,Mark  ::) ;D..

so,i understand that you're getting over a wrist injury incurred while playing one of your favourite sports..any hope of returning to the basketball court soon? ???

Yes, thanks for remembering! I will be back on the court (Not IN court) next week, to try and help my team, which has lost 2 in a row :-\\ Although playing sports is wonderful I get much more satisfaction from music/poetry :)

yes,i've seen some of your writing..you have quite a way with words  :)

best of luck to you with your return ..i'm sure you're looking forward to that  8)

so,as you probably know by now,Mark i always ask my guests two things before they leave me..what is your favourite song and why and what are your words to live by ? :)

Thanks, Maria..you inpire a lot of those words ;) As for a favourite song and motto...it changes daily but for now I will say,

Song: All Apologies by Nirvana

Motto: Life's too short so live, love and die peacefully...

Thanks for having me...Give it up for our beautiful host!!!! :-*

thanks for sharing,Mark..i'd love to have you visit me again some time..take care and please join me in welcoming nally...good evening,Jeff  :)

Good evening all... I'm glad to be here. :)

well,Jeff..so happy that you were able to make it..i know you're really busy with school and homework these days...can you share with us what type of school you attend and what you're studying? :)

Good evening all... I'm glad to be here. :)


Hello everybody!  Nally, did you save me a seat?

Okay... my name is Jeffrey and I attend Cal State University Northridge (in the Los Angeles area), and I am currently enrolled in math-related courses. I had started out as a Computer Science major, but I think I'm definitely going to change my major to math. See, as I approached the upper division courses, they began to get increasingly tough for me, and I couldn't keep up very well. And one year ago, I was struggling in just about every course...so that's why I thought about changing directions.

Do I need to explain anything more? ;)

Jeff

that sounds great,Jeff..well,i am curious about the electives you have taken..i think there have been some fun ones over the past year or so including golf and aerobics..what can you tell me about those?

thanks for sharing,Mark..i'd love to have you visit me again some time..take care and please join me in welcoming nally...good evening,Jeff  :)
Had a great time, Maria! Anytime you want me, I'd be happy to come back ;) Welcome, Jeff :)

(darn dial up is why this took so long to post)

that sounds great,Jeff..well,i am curious about the electives you have taken..i think there have been some fun ones over the past year or so including golf and aerobics..what can you tell me about those?

Those were "activity" courses; in the golf class we learned the basics of putting, stroking, and golf etiquette; for our "final" we played on a nine hole course. In the aerobics class we exercised with dance music.

I also took an art class last semester; I had fun in there. I'd explain more, but I think I should get going now, since I have some physics homework to finish. It was nice to stop by...can I come back some time tomorrow? :) ;)

aww,Jeff such a brief appearance..your seat is saved for you for tomorrow night. ;)

thanks for shedding some light on the activity courses..i remember you telling me about a dance routine you did to J Lo's Let's Get Loud one time..that must have been a lot of fun  :)..until tomorrow,my friend  8)

Ey! I got a quandry for ya. *takes a seat*

My name is Isaac and I'm from Pennsylvania. So anyway, there's this girl who I made a CD for, right? She loved it, so I made her another. When I gave it to her, she got really, really happy. Like I'd given her a ring happy. Seriously. Thinking about it, I wonder if it's not so much the CD as it is me. She's really nice to me, and pretty attractive. And now, the more I think about the prospect of being with her, the more I want to. I originally wasn't too attracted to her, now I'm really attracted. I'd like to get to know her a little better, and then tell her how I feel. What do you think I should do?

well, hello there,Isaac..great to meet you  :)

let me consider your situation for a moment..

Go right ahead!

well, first of all i must say that's sweet of you to have made her those cd's..i'm sure she really appreciated them  :)
i think it's a great idea for you to take your time and get to know her.for most romantic relationships that succeed,they begin as friendships. :)
so,my advice is to play it by ear and be cool for now  ;)

thanks for dropping in,Isaac but i must say goodbye for now since my next guest is waiting patiently in the wings..here's jacks..welcome,Chrissy  :)

Nice to see you, Isaac! Hey, Chrissy :)

Ooops, sorry!  I was in the back touching up my make-up. ::)

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hi, Mark! :)

Thank you for the warm welcome.  


as you would ..i can so relate  ;)

so,Chrissy,fabulous that you could be here tonight..tell me a little bit about yourself..i understand you have two sweet little girls? :)

Hi Maria. Just decided to make a cameo before going to bed. I hope this works out for you. Nice job so far. ;)

hi Jonathan..always great to see you..hopefully you'll have more time to visit with me on the weekend  ;)

Agreed. This helped me out a good deal. It contradicted a lot of advice I was given, but this seems like it'd work. Went with my gut feeling. Thanks!

glad to help,Isaac..i have lots of experience to draw from(i'm kinda old lol) ;)
keep us posted  :)

Thanks again, glad to be here.

Yes it's true, I have two adorable girls.  Brooke is 3 and Clarissa is 21 months.  I live in Pensacola, Fl but I'm originally from Southern California.  Oh, I can't forget my wonderful husband George.

what beautiful names  :)

i'm sure you're busy with them and i can only imagine how much fun it must be shopping for them and playing dress-up  8)

so,i think you used to be in the Air Force,right Chrissy?what was that like?  ???

Oh boy, you don't want to get me started on shopping for them.  It is lots of fun.  I'm sooooo bad.  I think they have about 40 pairs of shoes combined.  Well, you know you have to have a different color for each outfit. ::)

Yes I was in the AF and I loved it!  I worked in Finance and loved that too.  I was stationed at Luke AFB (Phoenix) loved that too, and Travis AFB (between Sacramento and San Fran)  I got out because I didn't want to deploy to Iraq and leave my two cuties.

shopping is almost enough reason for me to consider having one but not quite  ;)
abso-freakin'-lutely about the shoes!like mother like daughters i'm sure  8)

well,that's more than understandable! :)
does George travel a lot or is he stationed home with you for a while?

George is in the AF also.  He is in training right now, which is the reason we are in Pensacola.  He does a little bit of travel with his training.  He has to fly a lot, but comes home at the end of the day.  He is training to be a navigator on either the B-1 or F-15 (AF planes).  Speaking of which he will be in San Diego all weekend and you can bet you butt I will be at Happy Hour this week having a few drinkies.

that's great that he's home with you most of the time especially when the girls are so young  :)

hmmm.happy hour..i may need you to hold down the fort for me until i get here on Friday night then..i  have a prior happy hour to attend  ;)

so,you recently missed a fun friday night with us due to a trip to Atlanta..was it your first time there and how was the shopping?

That was actually my second time in Atlanta.  I was there once before with the AF.  The shopping was wonderful.  I just wish I had more time and money. :D  We don't have the best malls here in Pensacola so whenever I go to a "normal" city I go buck wild at the mall. :D  We have no Macy's, no Nordstrom.  We do have Dillards but I'm not that impressed. :P

nothin' like goin' buck wild at the mall,hey sister  8)..here in Canada,we have none of those stores but i get to live vicariously through my friend Karen in Hawaii when she shops at Macy's  ;)

speaking of shopping,i read a quote from you recently..

"I was trying to figure out the name of a bag we carried in the 80s"...i'm intrigued..were you working in retail at the time and what was the bag?

No, I was in elementary school or junior high at the time, or did you mean was I working in retail when I was researching it?  I never found out what the bag was called.  Do you remember Jelly Shoes?  The bag was similar.  It was made out of the same plastic that they use for those plastic hangers you can buy for $1 and it was woven like the Jelly Shoes.  It looked like it was made to use at the beach, but we used it for school books.

LMAO..i was thinking..hmm..i worked in retail in the 80s during highschool/university and i know you're several years younger than i am so i was a bit confused..too funny that you meant 'carry' in the literal sense of the word  ;D

unfortunately i can't help you with the name..i know what jelly shoes are although i never wore them..i was into leather 'pumps' back in those days along with a rainbow of colours of short boots with high heels  :D

well,jacks,we're almost out of time..as you know,i have two last questions for you..what is your favourite song and what are your words to live by?

Oooh, I don't have a favorite song, there are way too many good ones out there.

Words to live by:  Never say never. (should be "don't ever" say never)

And I would like to thank you one more time for allowing me to be here tonight.  I've really enjoyed your wonderful show.

thanks to you Chrissy,you've been quite a highlight  ;)

and with that,i'll say goodnight ..until tomorrow when i catch up with nally and crazymom,perhaps even a surprise guest  :)

good evening everyone and welcome back to The ktelqueen Show..please join me in welcoming back to my stage your friend and mine,nally..hi Jeff  :)

Good evening, fellow posters... I'm glad to be here once again. Yesterday, I believe I was discussing the classes I've been taking. On our last episode I talked about my golf class and my aerobics class.

I just happened to read the response to my post about the aerobics...yes, my partner and I led everyone in a routine to J Lo's "Let's Get Loud"...that was part of the 'warmup'...the main routine, which lasted 5 minutes, we used "Arrasondo (It's My Party)" by Thalia (the Spanish version). For our 'cooldown' we selected Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply." That was our complete routine (consisting of three phases: warmup, main routine, cooldown).

wow,Jeff..and we just happen to have the video..j/k but how i wish  ;)

so,i think we should get right to it Jeff in case you ghave to run off again tonight..i'm really interested in understanding your passion for keeping everything in order here on the boards..are you just as organized in all aspects of your life or is this your outlet? :)

Well...I do like to be organized...although every now and then, some parts of my life become disorganized and it takes a while for me to get them reorganized. There just aren't enough hours in a day to do everything you need to do.

Say, where is everybody else tonight? ???

i can so relate to that,Jeff..so much to do..so little time  :D

i'm not sure..who are you looking for? ???

*Waves from her seat in the audience*

*Waves from her seat in the audience*


Hi, Karen! :) Glad you could make it.

so,Jeff,have you thought about what you'd like to do when you graduate?

I haven't given it a whole lotta thought... but I just want to do something I will enjoy. Heck, I don't even know when I'm going to gradute. :-\\ :-[ However, I have done research on various occupations that involve math and/or computers. For example, according to what I read on "computer programmer", a strong background of mathematics is recommended.

computer programming would be fun..i think you'd be really good as an editor too..or proofreader...something i enjoy myself  :)

I enjoy proofreading too!... but it's not something I'd probably do as an occupation, though. :-[ See, I did some researching on that,too, but it wasn't very high-paying, and it's not something I could do as a job :-\\ I do like to proofread, though ;D

yes,i've noticed  :D ;)


so,Jeff know that you're quite a sports fan..i recently read that you have over 6000 baseball cards..tell me about your love of sports

Yes I do indeed have over six thousand baseball cards...how very observant...and as you may have guessed, baseball is my favourite sport; I enjoy watching it and recording the statistics and scores. My favorite team is the Dodgers (I've liked my local teams since I was little). I have been collecting baseball cards since I was about 7 years old (you probably read that too); and most of the cards in my collection are from the late 80's and early 90's.

Does anyone have any questions they'd like to ask me?

yes,Jeff..i don't miss a trick  ;)

well,so far the format has been a one on one interview if that's ok with you.. ;)

yes,Jeff..i don't miss a trick  ;)

well,so far the format has been a one on one interview if that's ok with you.. ;)

Sure, that's perfectly fine with me. :) But Karen was here not too long ago.

yes,she's here..she's in the audience  ;)

Karen,do you have any questions for Jeff? ???

I do have one question for Jeff. 

I think you mentioned to me a while back that you were from Oxnard.  I've been there once myself and I thought it was a nice area.  Do you think you will stay there once you get your degree?  Or do you have other places in mind that you'd like to move to?

Well...I have lived in Oxnard for four years now. I enjoy it out here; it's pleasant. I honestly don't know where I'd want to move to in the future. I love it out here, considering I was living in a hot (and undesirable) part of town (which began going downhill over a decade ago) for the first 20 years of my life.

Well if you're happy there then there's no need to move, right?

Maybe so...but I should move out someday and find my own place so I can start a family.

Anyway...I should probably get going. It's been nice being on the 'show' this evening; I shall look forward to the next one. Good night, everybody! :)

goodnight,Jeff.. :)

well,we're running a little long but hopefully we still have time for a very good friend of mine,JavaChick


how are you tonight,Chick? :)

Hi Maria!  *runs in and plops myself down on the big couch* .. sorry I missed my cue.  It's great to be here  :)

*Applauds as javachick enters the room*

*biting nails*  ???

wow..so good to see you!!!

this is a great time to introduce you not only to my show but to the boards as well..this is the fabulous place i've told you about for so long
..welcome! :)

Thank you for the intro!  I'm totally at home in a a penguin place lol.. one of the chat places I go to pengy's are the entry avatar and we all love them to bits.  Once & a while we bbq a few.. but we're trying to cut back.  I must say - not so happy about having a "wheezy" status!! Makes me sound.. well.. out of breath lol

oh,Chick..we've all been through it..it's all good.. ;)

well tell me about what's going on with you lately?

Well not a whole lot to be honest.  My b/f is MIA thanks to one family crisis after another lately.  I'm thrilled to have TWO days off of work in a ROW and my coffee pot has been taking a well deserved break for the last hour or so.

you actually managed to put your cup down?i had my people brew a vat for your visit so let me know  ;)

hmmmm...M.I.A. that can't be good..

You have people??? I want some people!!!  And nooooooooo MIA is not good - he has some major sucking up to do when he finally shows his face........ lol

oops and a vat eh?  Well, if you insist......... hehe  ;D

i see :).

yes,i have some really great people who put this show together for me..namely Tam and of course Karen,my faithful audience member and excellent guest   :)

so,Chick..i see you have a lovely sigline..i must take this time to thank you for all of the wonderful siglines you have made for me over the months   8)



(i do insist..of course   ;))

Not to mention excellent spontaneous co-host!  Well done Karen.  You're very welcome for the sig lines etc..  I love making them and as you've recently figured out, they're not nearly as hard as they seem to create.  I can't take the credit for the one I'm using tho, I ermmm "borrowed" it from another site  *blush*

yes,good point..a shout out to Karen for co-hosting tonight..and to Tam for being my Ed McMahon at a moment's notice  8)

oooh..borrowing siglines..hmmm..sounds a tad bit illegal but we'll go with it  ;D

so,Chick,would you like to share with us a bit about what you do for a living?

*Nods to ktelqueen and javachick for the honorable mention*

Tam pokes her head in the curtain and yells "Hi-OOOO!" then exits stage left!     8)

oooh..borrowing siglines..hmmm..sounds a tad bit illegal but we'll go with it  ;D




ermm stealing? nooooo I would NEVER do that!  ... I "borrowed" it from a free gif site.  There are tons of them around.  I have one myself but I haven't been very good lately in it's upkeep.  

I've worked in the tourist industry since I was 19 years old.  I'm closing in on my mid 30's now.. I'm too lazy to do the math lol but lets just say it feels like forever.  Currently I'm working in a hotel.  It's like a constant freak show somedays.  I think anyone who works in customer service would agree.   ;)

*Would like to let javachick know that she likes her signature image*

Thank you CeramicsFan!  :)

great to have you with us,Karen & Tam  ;)

hmmm...a freakshow,you say?maybe you can give us an example of what you're talking about.. ???

hey everyone, how's the show going?

*Quietly helps Brian to his seat in the audience*

hey,Brian..pretty well right now..the pace has picked up a bit  :)..are you around in a few minutes to join me?

yes right here.

Welllllll... lol  Just the other day I was standing at the front desk with a co-worker.  In through the street entrance strolls a local.  Very classy local too I might add.  Clad from head to toe in black.  Dirty black jeans, dirty black boots, dirty black hat and a dirty black leather jacket that matched perfectly with his greasy long black hair and beard.  He goes all the way past the desk, then doubles back and asks.. "Where is the divorce court?"  ... Divorce court? ermm.. "Perhaps in city hall?" I say.. while in my head thinking oh lord  .. This apparently was the wrong answer to give.  The guy starts beating the crap out of the counter with a rolled up magazine in his hand and begins bellowing as loud as he can that I'm a liar etc..  Anyway, he turned slightly abusive verbally and as the phone was picked up by my co-worker to call security he decides he'll leave telling me he'll be waiting for me outside.  He'll "get me!!" etc etc..

So much fun.. so many freaks..  It's things like that that make me wish we could drink on the job.

*Cringes after hearing javachick's statement*

oh dear..sounds like he'd be an interesting guest on someone else's show :D...well,surely,Chick,you must have some fun experiences working at a hotel..i'm sure everyone is always happy while staying at a luxurious hotel and very appreciative of the service you give them  ??? :)

lol... ermm yes so very appreciative.  I just know the guy I had to kick out on the weekend (another local) was thrilled with me.  He even compared me to Sheera (sp?) And let me know I wasn't welcome in HIS home, his mother's home or anyone's home he knew.  Oh yes, and of course I'd better not see him on the street or look out!! 

But seriously, sometimes we do have a lot of fun at work with some of the guests.  I love a guest who has a strong sense of humour and can take my sarcasm.  The staff is great too, we have a fantastic team who is great to work with.

wow,Chick..sounds like the craziness never ends  :o

i'm glad to know that you enjoy yourself overall,though..

since this is a music forum,Chick,i must ask you about your interest in music..do you share the love? 8)

Yep yep, I do love music.  Although I'm not quite at the same level as you are!  I enjoy all different types of music - with the exception of country.  I just can't feel it.  Dance is one of my faves, but I also really enjoy bands like Creed, Nickleback and Evanessance. 

well,we'll get you into a bit more around here,i'm sure  ;)

before you go,Chick..i'll ask you the two questions i've been asking all of my guests..what is your favourite song and what are your words to live by?

It's a distinct possiblity M.. I like what I've seen of the board so far, everyone seems very nice. 

Favorite song and words to live by.. tough ones. Hmmm.. well my favorite song changes constantly I guess it depends on my mood.. as you know.. I'm kinda moody lol  So for now I'll go with "Pressure" - Bowie.  Words to live by..  "Live life with as little regret as possible"

Thanks for having me, it's been a blast and it's been great to meet everyone :)

Goodnight everyone!

*Applauds javachick*

well,Chick,thank you so much for being here..you're so much fun   8)

you're right about everyone being nice..it's the coolest place on earth..well,almost as cool as Funkytown in Montreal   ;)

on that note,i think i'll change it up around here for a bit and welcome audience members to ask questions,seek advice, chat about what's on their minds etc while the show is 'on the air' and between guests ..we'll see how it goes.. :)

*Applauds javachick*


*sneaks in between acts*

how are you doing tonight,Chrissy? great to see you again  :)

I'm doing just wonderful!  It is great to see you again too. :)  May I ask where in Canada you are?

;)

of course :)..i'm from Nova Scotia but i live in New Brunswick..the eastern part of Canada referred to as the Atlantic Provinces
( New Brunswick borders Maine)  :)..have you ever been to Canada?

I've been to British Columbia.  Vancouver, Whistler, Nanaimo.  It's a beautiful place!  My Dads father was French Canadian. :P  I guess that makes me 1/4.  Rousseau was my maiden name.

right on..i've read that you're not a big fan of the French connection  ;)
why is that? ???

All is fine, a bit of study and work here and there.

Oh my gosh, we're like the only freaks here still. :D

Oh my gosh, we're like the only freaks here still. :D


...and I will be off soon

I've been to British Columbia.   Vancouver, ...

That's where I was born!   8)

I have never graced the soil of Canada.

well,perhaps you should grace us with your presence sometime Phil..we're a pretty cool country  8)

One day I do wish to travel the world to watch cricket being played and Canada most certainly plays that game.

Really?  That's a cool city.  I was really surprised by Vancouver.

do you play or just enjoy being a spectator? :)

I've heard it's a neat city, but unfortunately I don't remember much because I was only a baby when my family left Canada.

who knew?

do you play or just enjoy being a spectator? :)


Just a spectator, my body now is not so willing.

i see.. ;)

so are you in school and working at the same time,Phil?what ar you studying? ???

i see.. ;)

so are you in school and working at the same time,Phil?what ar you studying? ???


School!

I work and do a Open University home study course.

got it..i'm glad you still have time to hang out with us here  :)

so,what do you do for fun?

I've heard it's a neat city, but unfortunately I don't remember much because I was only a baby when my family left Canada.


It seemed like a mix between the U.S. and Europe.  The high rise buildings in Vancouver didn't look the same as the ones in the States but the houses looked like houses in the States.  It was cool to see a different country besides Mexico. :P

got it..i'm glad you still have time to hang out with us here  :)

so,what do you do for fun?


Apart from the Internet, I enjoy a good comedy show on TV or Radio, and of course watching cricket.

It seemed like a mix between the U.S. and Europe.  The high rise buildings in Vancouver didn't look the same as the ones in the States but the houses looked like houses in the States.  It was cool to see a different country besides Mexico. :P


Sounds nice!  :)

well,everyone,thanks for participating in the new open forum concept that we'll enjoy between/after guests..until tomorrow night  8)

Tam walks in to the quiet set... decides "this isnt a good thing" and throws all the light and camera switches!

Hello? Hello? Testing one, two, three... Is this thing on??

:D

well,good evening,Tam..the show has been on hiatus for a couple of nights..i prefer to be on the air when my co-host is available..so,what's going on with you? :)

Not too much. I still have a house guest which is driving me insane but Army wives have to stick together! ;)
Mike is sitting in the room - playin video games and we got Nick at Nite on....  YeeHaw!

I sound like the most boring person in the world! We are also still waiting on the return of my husband. The house is ready to go so now he just needs to make the grand entrance!

Seriously out of date - we watched I, Robot tonight. It wasn't actually that bad! Of course it was also on the flat screen so that is a plus! Spring break has started for Mike so now you have to know that after this week I am gonna need a day spa - H*ll - maybe a week spa!!!

What's new with you Maria?

boring? no..amazingly calm and rexed?shockingly so!..i'm sure things feel pretty surreal for you at the moment with your husband's imminent return  :)

great timing that Mike is off school for the week  8)

i'm sure you'll have lots of pampering soon enough  ;)

let's see..what's new with me?well,i'm trying very hard not to miss you too much as you entertain your company and get all of your stuff done for the homecoming..otherwise,looking forward to some renovations to my house  being done tomorrow and the next day(although dreading the fact that i won't exactly be able to sleep in  :D))

Are you getting the rugs/tiles done? If that isn't it then I have been out of the loop for too long!  ;D

I have sooooo missed being on here!
So much has happened and yet it seems so little!
(shifts in her seat to pull her legs underneath her)
Today I had to help one of my friends move the vehicles around in her driveway
Under normal circumstances anyone could do this by themselves, but I had to drive the Jeep. Why? Stick Shift!
So I get in and the emergency brake is on. So I pull up and click the button, go to slide it down and it goes nowhere!
I pushed, pulled, pushed some more - nothing.
I'm looking at it and realize that whoever parked it in the first place has pulled the emergency brake up AS FAR AS THE DANG THING WILL GO!! No room left to lift it...
So... picture this:
I shift around inside, put one foot on passenger seat, other on drivers.... straddling the brake!
Keeping in mind that the soft top IS ON so I am half bent over in a very compromising position!
I grabbed hold of the stick (oh where this could lead to...) and reefed as hard as I could!
Voila!!! It realeased and alls well that ends well!
My girlfriend was no help cause all she did was roll on the ground laughing hysterically and pausing long enough to take blackmail pics!
:o                              ;D

wellTam..that is quite a visual..bearing in mind i'm a non-driver(see happy hour thread),i definitely would have been laughing with your friend on the ground  instead of having the slightest clue how to help.. ;D

..reminds me of grade 12 when my friend got her Pony(Hyundai car)stuck in my driveway and she asked me to get in the driver's seat while she got out and pushed(have i mentioned lately i'm a bit of a princess lol)..anywho,she said when i say go,put your foot on the gas..well,after several exchanges like this and the car going nowhere fast,she approached the front of the car to see what was going on..who knew the gas isn't on the left(i'm left-handed..what can i tell ya  :-[ ;D)

Laugh all you want! One day I will get my vengence!

Imagine my shock and hooror when I read you don't drive!! A pure Canadian Girl like you?
It must have been hard getting to and from the bar on New Years! No busses and cabs taking forever - but knowing you - you probably sweet talked someone you knew into a ride! (emphasis on the KNEW)  ;)

And Girl - a blast from the past! I haven't heard anyone talk about a Pony in years!!!  :D

i will,i will  ;D ;)

trust me when i tell you that taking a bus on new year's has never been a consideration..lol..somehow i've managed pretty well to this point but i know i'm in the one percet of non-drivers and i'm missing out  ::)

you know,i haven't even thought about a Pony in years  ;)..not the coolest car.. :D

even being away from the boards*cries*,you've still managed to stay enough in the loop to know about the reno's..porcelain tile entrance/hallway/downstairs bathroom,new carpet for the stairs and landings..i can't wait until it's finished  8)

i wonder if anyone here wants to drop by for a minute to say hey?

Tam slides to the side of the couch in anticipation of the next guest

She sees ADH13 in the crowd and motions to come sit down and chat a bit

Well folks - viewer ratings are in and unfortunately The ktelqueen Show will be removed.
Our affiliates and endorsers have decided that the money simply is not there and so we can no longer afford to pay Maria the salary she is demanding! (Geesh, and you thought the Friends Stars wanted a lot of money!!)  :o

;D

Now you stop that right now!!  I, being the faithful viewer and (sometimes) co-host that I am, demand that you keep this show on the air until it's at least finished its trial run!  ;)

Friday night could be a good one.
It will then be the final airing episode to determine if viewer's like what they see or if we can it....
Any chance you will come down from wanting $18,000,000 per episode??  ;D  :o
