:lol Perish the thought! I just dug Jeff in that cool suit. It was so......Jeff.

I loved it. This family was clapping at the tv. And that suit is fabulous.

Yeah man, I even saved you some potato salad and a cupcake! But I wouldn't eat this potato salad now if I were you.....and somebody sat on the cupcake....

This thread has a purpose, so I'm leaving it in place tonight, but with reservations considering the behavior of several posters.

I too love this song.

Shut up, announcer!!!!! ENCORE! ENCORE!! ENCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I find it very sweetly hopeful myself.

Do you have to keep doing that???

Yes please.

I'm here now. Yum, I'm always in love.

So sorry, Chris. Her blessings live on in you, Bethany, and everyone she touched.
