As DU winds down to it last minutes let me take a moment to say ....

[Botany]

You have been like family to me. Skinner has been just like a father except he is younger then me
and never had sex w/ my mom. Bluebear ..... shred the lettuce ...... Stephanie ....... the
queen of DU .......
But remember the darkest hours are always just before the dawn.
It is better to have blogged and lost then not blogged @ all.

And so to all DUer I leave you this ..... "Courage"

:cry:

My Way Lyrics


And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

Yes, it was my way



Yes, we are all going to that great .......

[terrya]

1. The downtime is only for a few hours.

:-)

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. nooooo! It says SEVERAL Hours!!

:cry:

[Botany]

5. but those 3 to 5 hours will be like

180 to 300 minutes.

I hope I am not being over the top.

[TheDebbieDee]

6. Just relax.......I'll PM you a Prozac. Okay?

[Botany]

8. I am fine .... matter of fact I can't wait to watch the game.

I was just hoping to get a really stupid thread going ...... it looks like it is dying
though. Could it be my breath.

no thanx to the prozac but a nice Spanish Red w/ some herb would be nice.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

2. courage my ass!

I need my DU!!!

What am I gonna do instead? oh god I might have to watch football!! AAAGGGGHHHH!!

[Skidmore]

4. Viva, I decided to bake a whiskey cake instead...

takes a while to put it together and I can taste the whiskey whilst doing so.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

10. Hey! That's my kind of baking!

I actually thought about making Banana bread today, but I just got a call from a friend with computer problems, so I'm off to help out.

Have a big fat slice of that cake for me!

[Batgirl]

7. Just remember DU will never really be gone...

because as we carry on with our lives for the next few hours, each of us will carry a tiny part of DU in our hearts...(sob, sniff)

[Botany]

11. Be strong.

the pain is just a sign of your love for the one who has gone on before us
to make a place ready for when we all go to that meet up on the other side after
we have shuffled off this mortal coil.


betya .... a freeper couldn't rip a line like that on his best day ever. :rofl:

[Fridays Child]

9. Botany, hon?

GET A GRIP! :P

[Sydnie]

12. Hugh I tell yah ... Hugh and SERIES!!!!!111

Are you gonna watch that game? I don't know how I am going to fill that time .... looking at maybe a long bath and a nap. I hope we meet again in cyberspace ... in a few hours!


You are bad! :spank: :loveya: anyway!

[Botany]

14. One last request

The Bay Air couple in the stream?



A Bay Air leaps into the great unknown.

[Sydnie]

17. AWWWW - hugs to you

Let's hope the Bay Air leaps back home!

[Jon8503]

13. Goodnight Botany; Goodnight other Duers; Goodnight JohnBoy;

Goodnight Freepers lurking; Goodnight each & everyone, see you all after the Superbowl.

[RC]

15. Ah, Jeez...

Didn't we have a supper bowl last year?

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. This thread screams for more Frank.....

A DUer made this graphic. :)





A final end (Goodbye)
How do you say good bye to someone you love?
How do you make such a decision in the first place?
Life makes it for us
Reason and emotion don’t go hand in hand
But our hands
Fit nicely together
Until life told us otherwise
Goodbye
Is such a cruel sounding word
Like death
It plagues the mind of the living
And the heart that is used to giving love
But goodbye
Sometimes
Is not a final end
But the beginning of a new chapter
And the creation of a fond memory
Which will keep our heart company forever
Goodbye my friend
I love you

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

21. One more for the road

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story you ought to know
We're drinking, my friend, to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road



I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad, wish you'd make the music pretty and sad
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your code
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road



You'd never know it but buddy, I'm a kind of poet
And I got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you simply got to listen to me
Till it's all talked away




Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your getting pretty anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
This torch that I found must be drowned or it soon might explode
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
That long, long road



Getting close to closing time here at DU - ---->

[LaurenG]

18. This is actually a darn good thread

I've already had a few really good laughs.

[Hardrada]

19. I'm drinking, my friend, to the end

of a brief episode.

So one for my baby

And one more for the road.

[Hissyspit]

20. See you on the other side!
