I didn't know you are a ventriloquist. That's so cool! I just love Nellie.

Are you girls really going to Vegas? I love Vegas, but we just went in Sept. It's too long a trip for me. I can only do it once every couple of years. Not to mention the slots. Say hello to my money while you are there.

Chick, I just remembered a fantastic Ventriloquist show we visited in Las Vegas (about 14 years ago). The puppeteer conversed with his oversized parrot.

While talking he'd wave his hand about, and sometimes touched the parrots feet.
That caused the parrot to squawk each time, "Don't touch my feet!"
It came off very funny, the place was rocking from laughter.

I was just thinking if you have Nellie as a boomer, you could sort
of use this idea, but instead of 'Don't touch my feet', you could have
her say" Watch out for those corns!" or "Give me a foot massage",
or something along that line.

My kids used to squawk that line for years afterwards.

Louisa, wouldn't it be more like saying good by to your money? That's how it usually happens. Those beautiful resorts weren't built by winners.

I would go to Vegas for sure. Yeah, Summer is too hot...our shoes would melt to the sidewalks.

I understand what Louisa meant. We go, we lose (leave) our money there, so when we go back to Vegas... we visit our money that we left there the last time.

Hannelore, thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can work it into my act.

Kathy, you did a great job on Nellie's pic. Thank you for taking the time. I owe ya one.

Does this mean we get visitation rights to the money we lost there?

Diane, When they say "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," they mean our money. I laready said goodbye to it. I meant for those of you who go, to say hello to it. I doubt you'll see it though. But, you'll probably leave some of yours to keep mine company.

I absolutely love the decor -- this is what you could do if you had a 5 BILLION $$ decorating budget -- and am very aware of where this decorating budget came from! I guess I'm too practical to be much of a gambler.

Sit me in front of a slot machine and let her rip, tater chip....I love those dang things. I think I like them so much because its a mindless game. I can sit there, play the reels, think about everything under the sun, and relax. If I win, more the better.

I love it. Count me in.

How cool a ventriloquist among our midst! Chick, you have to do a command performance for this forum! We want an emblematic skit here...
