Thank you, Mr. Shrew (blushing). You are a gentleman, suh.

[SC Swamp Fox]

Southron Belle Bump.

Blushing! Now Mr. Swamp Fox! You behave yo' self now, ya' heah! Shame on you!

Grandma Fontaine: "God intended women to be timid frightened creatures and there's something unnatural about a woman who isn't afraid. Scarlett, always save something to fear--even as you save something to love."

Rhett: "I always felt that women had a hardness and endurance unknown to men, despite the pretty idea taught me in childhood that women are frail, tender, sensitive creatures."

Rhett: "No, I'm not gong to kiss you, although you need it. You need kissing and often and by someone who knows how."

Rhett: "I can't wait all my life waiting to catch you between husbands."

Scarlett: "As God as my witness, as God as my witness, the Yankees aren't going to lick me. I'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, I'm never going to be hungry again. No, nor any of my folks. If I have to steal or kill--as God as my witness, I'm never going to be hungry again."

Scarlett: "Fiddle-dee-dee"

[SC Swamp Fox]

Those gals can't hold a candle to our Freeper Gals!

I agree. I was just suggesting a mode of dress that will allow them to "fit in" with the Las Vegas scene.

I intend to dress like Wayne Newton.............

....or Elvis.

[Gracey]

Say Leni, Are you going to Las Vegas?

I have to go back to SoCal August timeframe so I may try to work this into my trip.

Hugs to you, deal friend.

On the info threads for last year's freeper Caribbean cruise, I was known as "Bahama Mama", the cruise answer lady. This year, I'm pleased to be again part of the events committee putting out info for the FRiva Las Vegas conference in August.

Bob J wanted to know what my temporary handle would be this time. Since I didn't have one in mind, I threw it open for freepers to think of one and ran a little contest for a name. The contest is now closed and we have a winner!

THE WINNER OF THE CONTEST IS......(drum roll)

THE SHREW!!!!

THE WINNING HANDLE IS......(trumpet blare)

FRIVA DIVA!!!!

As promised, The Shrew's prize is a poem written by me and dedicated to him as well as to the profound creativity and consumate brilliance of his effort.

So, here 'tis:

THE NAMING BY THE SHREW!

Last week a big contest I threw
It's been won by none other than Shrew
The point of the game
Was to give me a name
For the Las Vegas "info" I do

The prize for this big contest winner
Is not a new car or a dinner
But a poem writ by me
For the victor to see
(Hope he won't throw it in the trash-binner!)

So, thanks for my new name, dear Shrew
I'm now FRiva Diva, whoo-hoo!
Your most clever entry
Is most complimentry
Now go toast yourself with a cold brew!

Congratulations!

FRiva Diva

Leni

[seenenuf]

Hands clapping! Take some bows, Friva Diva and Shrew.

[Bob J]

I love it! FRIVA DIVA!

[PatrioticAmerican]

I'll happen to be in Vegas that week, so count me as attending.
