Nominations – The Planet’s Top Posts of 2009

OOOOhhh nooooo! Javaz is going to go postal or worse! She is sure she’s going to get the Jelly-of-the-Month Grand Prize!! (I’ve already tried to tell her that I’ve got that one sewn up and that she has no chance whatsoever!) LMAO

We have had a great time going back and forth tonight! But somehow, Mop ‘N Glo just doesn’t evoke the same feelings as jelly! I agree with Kesmarn…please reconsider! I am planning on making a donation to the cause…anything to keep javaz happy!

Ditto, abby! That was great! But should it be considered “political” or “humorous”? I would say it’s both!

That’s a really nice way of putting it, Adlib!

A “celebration of everyone’s contributions”! I like that a lot!

I would add that it’s not really a competition, but a way to spotlight someone’s particular talent and skills as well as critical thinking. There are no losers here. We all benefit from the articles and the wonderful camaraderie! In fact, we ALL WIN!

As a matter of fact, I have enjoyed the banter tonight! You guys crack me up! 🙂

You’re no baby, Sue! I’ve been reading you since way back when! You are always spot on! 🙂

She is actually channeling Dick Cheney! Note the smirking grin and the evil laugh! LOL

Where is peacekitten tonight? Anyone seen her? She will put us all to shame!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 5:48 pm

Heh heh! You never had a chance, javaz! I was going to win those jellies! Hands down, no contest! LMAO Or at least the toilet paper!!

That man is pure genius!!!!!!!! I love it! Wish I could write music like that!

Thanks for that, K! Very appropriate! 🙂

Hey Khirad…I have nothing but “recent” ones! But maybe Javaz and I can split the jelly of the month! She thinks she’s a shoe-in for it, but her fiendish plans are for naught! Heh heh! I would definitely settle for 6 months worth! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 4:56 pm

LOL! No such luck, J! I’ve got those jellies all sewn up!!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 4:53 pm

Nope, sorry, Kesmarn! You don’t get off the hook that easy! You must nominate your own articles for consideration. Then when nominations are done, we will vote on them. C’mon now! I know you have written some good stuff! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 4:50 pm

Hi bito! Glad you’re here! We need you to nominate some of your articles! C’mon…somebody has to beat out javaz for the “Jelly of the month” club! LOL

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 3:02 pm

Writing these articles, knowing how good so many of you are here, gives me a brand new appreciation for the Pulitzer!! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 2:58 pm

About the same…still mostly comatose, but my brother reported that she mumbled and smiled at him. This is surely an improvement! Thank you so much for your concern! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 2:56 pm

Heh heh! You just think you’re the only evil one! I think NOT! Heh heh! LOL

Good going there, boomer!

BTW, has anyone heard from TRP? I am really beginning to worry about him! I’ve not seen him all day.

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 2:54 pm

Co-sign there, vegas, about the intimidation! But the year is not yet over. We still have several days. Submit an article and nominate it! Don’t be shy! You always write good comments and I know you can do it!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 1:36 pm

C’mon, e-cat! I know you’ve done some killer stuff! Nominate the ones you think are best! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 1:34 pm

Hey javaz! You most certainly are just as good as others here, from what I have read of your posts! I would imagine that Adlib will give us a chance to re-read all of them and then to vote.

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 1:32 pm

Okay, here’s my only other one…

Under the category of “Lifestyles”, I submit my article:

“The Best Christmas Gift”

I will make my New Year’s Resolution right now…I resolve to become a better writer in 2010 so you guys won’t have to suffer through my silly attempts! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 1:29 pm

Thanks, javaz! I was always taught that it was impolite to nominate yourself for anything! But ultimately, I would assume that Adlib plans to have a vote by everyone on the articles submitted. This is a neat idea.

I am at a distinct disadvantage in that I only just joined the Planet in the past several weeks and have not had the time to read everyone’s excellent posts yet. These nominations will give me time to go back and read them.

I feel really odd in doing this as there are so many other articles so much better than mine, but okay…..

Under the category of Political Commentary, I submit my article,
“Democracy DOA, Killed by Supreme Court”.

Too Close to Home Often Hurts…and Then Some

One of my “adopted sons” who works for me had two ferrets and they were adorable! You can’t help but love them! I could play with them for hours.

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 6:58 am

LOL! I don’t know whether I want any more information about this or not……:-0

Oops! My bad! This was supposed to be a reply to boomer about TRP!

Hey everyone, TRP posted some really depressing comments yesterday that I’m sure most of you noticed. He was extremely depressed and I became really concerned for his stability.

Does anyone have any contact information for him? Adlib, I know you cannot post anything due to privacy, but is there any way to get in touch to make sure he is OK?

Meanwhile, I know the power of good vibes…let’s all send some to him! He seems to be in a very vulnerable situation right now and needs help!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 6:42 am

Hey KQ! You make an excellent point! But the part about the vibes from people here are spot-on! As you know, I have been going through hell over my sister. All the PlanetPeople have been sending the most wonderful best wishes and prayers. I cannot say this strongly enough…the effects have been absolutely palpable! I believe I have actually felt it!

There are many things that we cannot see or hear, but we know they are real! The power of collective thoughts is one of those things! I don’t think I have ever experienced anything like this in my life! This is truly amazing, and I’m so happy to know that your recovery is being helped by it too!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 6:37 am

Oh no! I was extremely worried about him yesterday. His comments were heart-breaking and he seemed close to the edge. Does anyone have his email?

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 6:30 am

Boomer, what a beautiful comment! You are absolutely right!

I am a walking, talking example of how needy we can be. I have been struggling with the prospect of losing my beloved sister, one of only a few relatives I have left in this world. I found myself leaning on each of you here for that moral support. Being snowed in and unable to travel did not help.

But the most amazing thing has happened…I really do believe that the collective thoughts and prayers from all of you has had a very real and profound effect on me and perhaps on my sister too!

We are indeed in this together and I am so thankful that we are!

BTW, have you seen any further comments from TRP? He was really in a blue funk earlier and I was worried about him.

Jolted back to reality

IT’S OBAMA’S FAULT!!! LOL

» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 27, 2009 @ 8:13 pm

With the exception of Joe in the morning! I absolutely get livid every time I hear him bashing the President!

Now, I love me some Keith and Rachel, especially Keith’s over-the-top special comments!
