Still Damned Mad!

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I haven't even gotten to read your replies from my last entry, but at this moment I have a big ole' favor to ask of you... 

Read on...

I was SO proud of myself last night; mission accomplished, I did stay awake until the end of the game!
I am almost sorry I did so.

Earlier in the game, bored, I did a little channel-hopping. then I almost fell asleep. Fortunately Jerry called about 9, and so I was W-I-D-E awake then! (Thank you Jerry)!

Please take a minute, even if you didn't see it, to sign the petition below?

Love to all

XOXO

PS
My own thoughts are if they cannot end this strike, then we need to hold off playing ALL games until such an accord is reached.
The league is way off base holding this over the refs heads anyway.
If you want a little background, the league wants all the refs, as part of their pact, to ensure that this will be their only full-time job. The league is not willing to pay them for this though.
They work one a week for cryin' out loud! And most have full time jobs already!
Go figure.

Go PACK!!!!

Here's what I rec'd in my email...

The National Football League (NFL) has locked out its official referees over a contract dispute. Three weeks into the season, replacement referees are still on the field.

In last night's game of the Green Bay Packers against the Seattle Seahawks, the replacement refs ruled that the Seahawks caught a game-winning touchdown, when it was clear the Packers had intercepted the ball. And the Packers lost because of it.

The NFL's use of replacement referees threatens the integrity of the game and could lead to serious player injuries. We need the most competent, highly trained officials on the field immediately. With the NFL making more than $9 billion a year in revenue, it seems like it's within their ability to come to an agreement with referees over a pension plan, which has been the biggest issue resulting in referees being locked out of a contract.

UPDATE: There were numerous blown calls in Week 1.
The NFL needs to end this farce before a game is unfairly decided or a player is injured.  

UPDATE 2: Well, the worst has come to pass.
The NFL's use of replacement referees has cost a team the game. Sorry, Packers fans.
The NFL clearly cares more about $ than about providing an honest game. 

If the NFL gets away with this one, they can get away with anything. How long before a player is seriously hurt because of incompetent officiating?

We MUST get as many fans to sign this as we can.
Please SIGN and SHARE! The more of us who are united, the more noise we can make!

Green Bay Packers- XLV World Champions!

Super SUPER Super Bowl Sunday!!!!

We had so much fun, cheering our beloved Packers on!!!!
Hollering, then the screaming silence- Over and over and over again-
Just the normal "Packers inspired Tourettes Syndrome"... I might've even cussed a bit- (Casey too)-
I wasn't able to jump up, or stomp- (but nothing wrong with the mouth end)! hehehe

I swear Punk wanted a new home- Until we made our steaks at halftime that is..

Greg is originally from Chicago- and a Bears fan- gulp- (poor guy)- It wasn't until AFTER the game that he told us he had a headache.
(My apologies Mr. Greg- I hope the ibuprofen helped)?

I was so wracked with nerves by the time the three minute mark came in the 4th quarter that I had to leave the room!
I chose to jacket-up, go outside, brave the 3' high snowdrifts and light the old burn barrel. Punk ran circles around me- and fought to get over a few of the snowbanks with her shorter legs... (shorter than mine anyway).

I watched the fire for a short short while, then came the fireworks down the road- At the exact second of that 1st 'KaB00m', Casey hit the back door- running outside, and screaming "WE WON!" "WE WON!" "WE WON!" "WE WON!"
Life sure is good at a time like that!


I took the pictures of Lambeau Field today as I drove to the stadium. There were literally 1000's and 1000's of people there.
Just in case you think I am overboard in my enthusiasm, I saw this in the Press Gazette-
www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20110207/PKR01/110207017/1207&located=rss
"Hannah Pieper Elliott knows the difference between fans of the Green Bay Packers and ordinary football fans.
“Other teams have some fans who are this crazy and this dedicated,” Elliott said as she waited in the cold this afternoon with thousands of other people for the motorcade carrying the Super Bowl champion Packers to Lambeau Field. “But ALL Packers fans are this crazy and this dedicated.”
(Oh man, she's got THAT right)!

I'd best get some shuteye soon. I have been at this picture upload thing for SO long already that my eyes are crossed; and my back is screaming at me now. Well, almost.

I hope you enjoy them all!

XOXO
