RIP Lulu the fish...

The 36 hours you and Rosalind spent together will forever live in her heart...

(Hubby: She was a big part of the family and will leave a huge void.)

Poor little sweet tearful Rozzie. She's very sad but will be ready for a new one Friday. I also had the "hand/glove" talk with her, so she's all prepared for the next pet death.

We haven't had its fishy funeral yet - Roz wants me to take care of it later today while she's at school.

Later: I NEED onion rings.

And: Your favorite Walton, and why. GO

Trista F: John boy...one word, MOLE
Trista F: Unless I'm remembering them wrong...whichever one had the gross mole
Me: That's John Boy (or as he was later called, John Man)
Rob R: Grandpa, for keeping Grandma cranky, and for injecting a bit of Dukes of Hazzardism into the place. Funny how they didn't seem to highlight the pre-NASCAR moonshiner car chases, but I watched the show anyway.
Me: Mine is Jim-Bob, for being in Fletch and for having to haul around the name "Jim-Bob".
Me: I'm also partial to the Baldwin Sisters and their Recipe.
Bev F: Erin - when I named my daughter Erin my mother did not like it and voiced her opinion stating that "Aaron" was a boys name and not a girls name - when I pointed out diff spelling and used Erin on the Waltons and Erin on Happy Days then she finally decided she could live with a Grandaughter named Erin - Thank You Erin Walton - Grandma loved the Waltons
Me: Oh yeah, thank goodness for pop culture paving the way for "weird" names. Too bad Twilight wasn't around when we had Bella, we could've been spared a lot of crap from the family.
 Mark P: Really? Bella?
Me: Yeah, Isabella. It raised a little bit of, um, concern.
Bev F: My older brother even called with a suggestion - "name her Jim but just change the spelling to Gym" - my choice of names was always questioned
Bev F: I love Bella by the way
Me: Thanks. It's a name from my family tree and I loved finding it and using it - it's nothing I would have thought of naming my baby before I started genealogy. I LOVED this lady's name!
Me: OK, I also love Grandma because she came back to the show after she had a stroke.
Jodi M: Idk, that was so before my time. (wink)
Me: Yeah RIGHT
Jodi M: lol - okay, okay, the truth is that I'm just so old that I can't remember my favorite.
Me: Jodi, much better
Heather M: I never actually saw an episode, but John Boy had that huge mole to overcome, and he's the only one whose name I know...
Me: Wow, go John Boy's mole!
Jason K: Uncle buck, cause John Candy rocked.
Me: Weirdo
Jason K: Watched the movie last night....
Me: It was sad when Uncle Buck died of typhoid fever.
Jason K: Yep... One of the best scenes was when he went to visit the assistant principal and her her big mole.
Rachel J: Totallllly had a crush on John Boy, especially in his glasses.
Me: They had a different John-Boy in the later years... it was creepy because they looked different but had the same voice, almost. JB2 lacked JB's spirit and fit-throwing, though. He was all passive and John Denver-y.
Pam Tol...: Mine is Grandma! Loved her crankiness and sarcasm. She told it like it was.
Me: "Old fool"
Lisa J: Elizabeth was my favorite. I even named my first daughter Elizabeth.
Hubby: Were there any hot girl ones?
Me: Grandma had lots of hot flashes.
Hubby: Put down those candied yams and.......
Me: Zeb! Stop it! *slap*
Jason K: Nice question Brian. I should have asked that.
Me: There were no hot boy ones, I can tell you that much.
