Not too long ago.. I think they changed the logo the year Rusty Wallace (NASCAR driver) re-newed his contract with them... maybe 2000...??

What am I supposed to be looking at in regards to Robbie..? Angelos has a TON of cash to spend.. and will.

LOL.... Kenny was quoted in the papers right after the WS that him and Robbie had a "hand shake agreement" in August but that talks had stalled. I don't remember Robbie being sick. At Jimbo's after the final home game is when the Robbie rumor I was told at the begining of September was confirmed. Bill Melton and Sandy Sr are tight and when Bill told me of the "hand shake" I took it as gospel... then read about it coming out of Kenny's mouth 2 weeks later. IMO, Kenny says things that he shouldn't to try to look like he's something more than he is. I'm not saying the way that JR manages that part of the business is correct.. and I do believe that KW was placed there to be JR's puppet.. but you'd think he could be a little better one, wouldn't ya? Kenny is stupid, IMO. He was given a title without authority (because, IMO, he can't handle the job) and continues to insert his foot in his mouth with each and every statement he makes. Edited to add... Sorry I name dropped again..

It's not about the $$ to stay in Baltimore... He's got a life there.

Hey!! I went to jury duty!!!

I don't think so. Tony is out of bed with them in the laundering business. If anything.. maybe in the last episode the "decorator" turns up frozen and then a scene where Tony and the gang are hearing about it on the news - Chris and Paulie giving eachother an "oh s***" look...? But I don't think it will be another major story. But honestly.. who knows.

Didn't Mike have a cuff issue as well...?

He didn't like it so much he shook hands on it... Kenny opened his trap when he shouldn't have. Surprise, surprise..

Tony.. FWIW.. I heard all over the place that they were indeed going to keep him. As a matter of fact.. that was one of the reasons Sidney even listened to the initial offer they made him - which WAS bulls***.

We wouldn't need Juan if Maggs stays...

Exactly!!

I think you misunderstood the article....

I completely understand where you're coming from.. Most of the time Sam lays on his back, all sprawled out. And Sidney likes to nap on the top of the refrig.. Sam follows me around everywhere, almost tripping me at least 10 times on the way to the shower in the morning. And he waits outside the door for me to come out. They have routines. It's pretty cool. Sidney is named after the character on Melrose Place which was the show that was on the night I brought him home. (got them both from the CRAWL - Chicago Ridge Animal Welfare League). Sam is named for the character Alyssa Milano played on Who's the Boss which was also the first thing that came on the TV when I brought him home.. Before that I had kitty 1 and kitty 2... siblings from the same litter who after 2 years were found to have a form of feline lukemia.. no s***. The odds of that are like 1 in 250K litters! That almost killed me, but I'm glad I got these two guys. Sid is 8 and Sam is 7.. they should be around for quite a while longer... hopefully.

Ours do the same "head-butt" think you described... They are part of the family.. I can't imagine life without them. Jim had cats before and had such horror stories (his kids are satans spawn!!) and never thought he could ever have a "relationship" with one, much less 2.. now I think he's more attached they I am and they were mine to begin with.. LOL Thank you for sharing.. and hugs to you and Laura for saving the little guy!!

I had 2 hamsters when I was younger... just 2. The one day there were 9 No hamsters in my life these days.. for obvious reasons

Oh.. Jim and I are completely appreciative that Sidney and Sam allow us to reside in THEIR house.. They rule things.. they really do. But they are such great cats. They are almost like dogs. Come when you call them, hop into bed when we get in. Sam lays right next to me with his head on the pillow. And they talk up a storm to Jim when he's in the bathroom shaving... they meow, he says what and they meow back. The mouse thing was a true adventure. I don't know if you read about what happened before, but the first one Sidney brought upstairs was when I was sleeping and Jim was in the shower.. Sidney took it to the bathroom and meow'd until Jim got out of the shower to give it to him... and I do mean give it to him. Jim held out his hand and Sid placed the mouse in it. Not all people can be cat owners.. they are a lot different than dogs (as we've learned that, too). But what a rewarding relationship when it works out...

Oye... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...owerball_arrest All that $$ and this guy has nothing better to do with his time?

I may have an extra... I think Jim and I each got one. Let me look and I'll let you know.

That was special fun... birthday fun. Although... another night of "the Melton ear licking escapades" just might be a good time... Is your brother coming to Sox Fest?

Oh good. BTW.. we're planning a dinner possibly Saturday night. I have you guys on the list, as well as others staying at the hotel. I'll let you know if it pans out. Nothing too fancy.

OMG!! Please pass along wishes for a speedy recovery from Jim and I.

No offense Vince.. didn't read all that cause I don't care. As with Israel.. I'm not sharing my opinion on this either. And I didn't say his opinion, or yours, was right or wrong.. I just offered mine in that he was just not saying what your interpreted it to be. Although.. that's just my opinion as well.

Oh thank you Tex.... FINALLY I can get a good nights rest!!

Call me crazy.. but I don't think that will matter. Big deal she's had a shady past. People tend to vote for happy endings. Right now... if I was on the jury and read that cops statement... I think I would believe her.
