I belonged to a church youth group and we were at a St. Vincent de Paul Society convention. The boys had one room and the girls shared another. We girls thought it would be funny to "decorate" the boys' room while they were at a meeting -- with TP, shaving cream, lipstick on the mirrors and other touches. Too bad the maid opened the door before the boys did. She called the manager, who summoned the youth group leader, who made us all clean the room and restore it to pristine condition while he lectured us on responsibility.<BR/>Years later, I would clean rooms that were in far worse shape to research "Murder with Reservations." <BR/>(3) Six months probation -- I got that for driving on the interstate at 96 miles an hour near Litchfield, Illinois, in an '86 Jaguar. I was arrested and bailed out by my husband. I had to bring a lawyer in from St. Louis for my court date. <BR/>(4) I do not have a tattoo. In fact, I am needle phobic. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for inviting me to be a guest at JRW. It was fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-44967877878581153062008-11-05T19:08:00.000-05:002008-11-05T19:08:00.000-05:00Hey Rhys--sounds like you know the real scoop abou...Hey Rhys--sounds like you know the real scoop about Elaine...maybe come back and tell us more? <BR/><BR/>And thanks, Dana, now I can't get that song out of my mind. (And Thanksgiving is coming too!) At least if you're going to have an earworm, it might as well be a good song.<BR/><BR/>Which is a BIG HINT about tomorrow's bloggers.<BR/><BR/>But tonight?

I rode on the back of a motorcycle. Saw some great tatts. Also saw some tough men get to the Vietnam Memorial and turn back. They couldn't face looking at their buddies names in that black marble. Some of them had ridden more than a thousand miles, but the Memorial was too much for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-76006402395316691872008-11-05T12:38:00.000-05:002008-11-05T12:38:00.000-05:00Welcome to JRW, Elaine!I agree...no to the room tr...Welcome to JRW, Elaine!<BR/><BR/>I agree...no to the room trashing.
