I feel like we're a sewing circle now. Only a few bloggers left. I guess some bloggers just weren't cut out for life on the net. We might have to have a competition to see who will be the last one standing. We can do some reality competitions to eliminate someone each week until we get a winner. (WARNING- that is not actually happening. This is not a producer sanctioned contest and will not result in you becoming a contestant on Deal or No Deal.) That sounds like a good idea, right? (Again, this will not really happen. Otherwise, Nick will lose the loyal bloggers and then who would he have to talk to online?) Let's do it. What do you say?! (Don't answer that.) Alright, we'll let's answer some of your questions. (Good move.)

Dollydeb: No, I don't work on the daytime show. Patricia and Tameka are all grown up now and don't need me babysitting them. And I couldn't tell you what we have in store for future episodes, mainly for legal reasons, but I also am not allowed in those meetings.

Dawn: TK's is a hometown pizza, and the best. I have yet to find one better, especially out in LA. There's a pizza shop out here called Greco's. I went in assuming it would live up to its great name, but I left with a bad taste in my mouth and almost demanded that they take my family's name off of it. So, if you're ever in Fairport, NY, cause I know you all make a point to pass through it, then stop at TK's in the Village of Perinton. You won't be disappointed. And thanks Dawn for those words of encouragement about my career. Let's hope you're a prophet.

Dolly: The Hoola-Shimmy idea is good. It could be like the Hawaiian girl on car dash boards, but I'm not sure about the Real Girl idea. That, like you said, would be Real Creepy. It's a product that if it does sell well, it's even more creepy. You follow me? 'Cause there's a reason why so many people are buying them and it would make me and especially the girls, a little uncomfortable. So, let's just sell the Real Banker. And it can be one of those blow-up clowns with the weight on the bottom, so when you punch him, he just pops back up.

Hi Nick
You are right there realy is just a handful of us left on your blog!!! I personal like your blog better than the Bankers!!!

Nick I will be the last blogger on your site cause I am very determined and you know I will stay a Fan!!!
I promise if I make it to Fairport Ny I wil stop by TKs!!
I am still counting my days Today is Day 522 since my interview with Neal and day 180sincethe tryout in Ohio and day 89 since I mailed in the tape !

I will always stay your biggest fan and I will meet you in LA, Remember you couldnt make it to Applebees so when I get to LA I owe you a Beer!!!

I tooo will DEMAND THAT GRECOS PIZZA CHANGE THIER NAME IF THEY CAN'T MAKE A PIZZA WORTH YOUR FAMILIES NAME THAN THEY NEED TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS,,

NICk, I think between and Dolly,Dawn and I we will HAVE a battle on your hands so dont do the competetion JUST CALL US have the producers call us
we are the trio that will make your game show a marvel.
I do ahve to say i think its great they allowed case 7 to stay with tommy last night i look forward to keeping leyla as my supporter. She has my case but i want to keep her luck. so there for she can not leave the stage!!!
Sooooo now I only sit and wait and sit and wait for the day that i may be on stage to show MR BANKER and the entire nation WHAT AN AWESOME GAME DOND CAN BE!!!
True life is when in your dreams you AWAKE.
I dream of DOND EVERY NIGHT I have lived on stage everynight for the past 2 years.

Good Afternoon Nick,

Marshax3 you are right You,Dollydeb,LB and myself have stayed faithful and girl I like all you ladies so I say,"NO COMPETETION WE LADIES STICK TOGETHER, WE ARE STRONGER, AND BETTER, THE MORE OF US BLOGGERS THAT STAY TOGETHER WILL BE HARDER FOR MR. BANKER TOO WIN!! WE CAN TAKE ALL HIS MONEY!!

I am hopeful that when I get on the show Lb can be one of my supports I would love to have all the bloggers but realisticly Lb lives out there close to the studios and so I know she could make it and the show would not be out anything, ALSO NICK I HOPE THEY LET YOU STAND THERE ALONG WITH CLAUDIA!!!!

Nick I will close for now I will check back later and for sure tomorrow!! Today is day 523 day 181 and day 90......

Nick, all I can say is WOW.
A contest, sounds like so much fun.

Of course we are ALL great bloggers-all of us.

And, I have a feeling that many of us will be around for a long long time.

Now, Nick, did you bring your quilting project? (just kidding-I don't even quilt)

Now, even if we don't get on stage with Mr. Banker and Howie (gee, did I say that?)
I hope that at least we can ALL be in the audience for the November tapings.
BTW-hubby definitely approved of the dresses the models wore last nigh.

dollydoings@aol.com

Go Nick's blog!
One for all and all for one. Or is that one is tall and short is none? No, that doesn't make sense.

It should be Nick's blog is number one. He answers questions (in a non inflammatory manner-hint hint Mr. Banker); he has a pizza place named after him (really-is it a chain owned by a long lost relative), most importantly, Nick has a job that both my hubby AND my sons would love to have.

I know that Dollydeb, Dawn, Marshax3, are ALL great bloggers, but I know Dollydeb as a personal friend and she is my favorite.

well I guess my name is Dolly now.
Glad you liked the Hoola-Shimmy Doll, yes like the dashboard Hoola Girl, that's what I had in mind.
I love the bloggers on here, we would make a great show!
I always check in and read and don't always post, but I'm here at least once a day.
Bye for now, 4 am comes around quick and 5:30 pm not so quick.
Good Nite Nick and my fellow Blogger Buds!

HI Judy:
I was wondering what Nick meant by that comment.
And, yes, I totally agree-ALL the bloggers would make a great team on the DOND stage.

In fact, Nick: Judy creates fabulous costumes with such imagination, I'm sure she could come up with a coordinated costume theme for your models.

Go Bloggers!
Go Bloggers!
Go ALL of the Bloggers!
Go to L.A.

(and, Nick. Yes, we know this is a SPOOF contest, but when you practice play, you just gotta play like it's for real)

dollydoings@aol.com

Hey Hey Hey Linda Caroots is here today!!!
Yippy Tye Yay I have come to stay!!!
Mover over Bloggers, and Bloggettes, I am squeezings in between all of you. I am a faithful Bloggette, I have just had the flu the past couple of days.

Hi Nick,
I am on Mr. Bankers blog alot, but I have visited your blog many times. Do you remember me?

We are all here:
In number of three, six, maybe even nine
And when we ever get on DOND as Contestant
Mr. Banker might choke on his tears when we show him how to use the Money Board, and cause him to go broke!!!
Maybe you Nick should be up in his cubby hole, and be ready to pat Mr. Banker on his back, because we, Mr. Banker's faithful bloggers, are planning on taking him to the cleaners, and I don't mean the Dry Cleaners. Well, I guess it would be like though. We are going to empty his pockets.
One more thing Nick, Do you think the DOND show would let you hold one of the Money Cases when we are Contestants on the Greatest Show On TV "Deal Or No Deal"????

Hey, Nick-
Linda has a Fabulous idea. I'd definitely love to see that episode....
from the stage with ALL my bloggin' buds.

dollydoings@aol.com

WELCOME MY WONDERFUL HAPPY LADY FRIENDS!!
Linda i am sooo glad to see you on here!
I have found my slef very wary of the bankers blog and i think its time we just move away from the negativity there are certain bloggers on mr bankers side taht seem to be way to depressing. I like the possitivity here. sooooo i think ill stay...my loyalty to NIck for Now!!
Maybe youall should follow suit! maybe if we igonre the problem it will go away!!
SOOO Nick I surely hope your ready to answer LOTS ANDLOTS of questions !!!
I have not had one in a while so heres my latest.
HAve you and the GIRLS EVER Gone to Colorado for a ski trip?
HAve you ever come to COlorado to the NOrth POle to see the REAL SANTA CLAUS?
I for one happen to know him and if you was to meet him you would agree this is the real deal.
Sooo are you willing to meet him? Have you been good? Do you have your christmas list for him?
I happen to know him personally and would love to put a word in for you if your interested....

Dollydeb, Marshax3 and Dawn seem to be the best bloggers here, but as a good friend of Dollydeb, of course I think she is the ultimate best!!!! Have fun with your contest!!!

Ali

Dollydeb, Marshax3 and Dawn seem to be the best bloggers here, but as a good friend of Dollydeb, of course I think she is the ultimate best!!!! Have fun with your contest!!!

Ali

Linda you recovered really well from the flu, very witty.

Nick would be a handsome model! wah wah Wowie

"will not result in you becoming a contestant on Deal or No Deal." This is very discouraging for me, because the main reason I happen to be on this website in the 1st place is to INCREASE my likelihood of becoming a DOND contestant, and I'm pretty sure that's the main reason for everyone else as well.

DOND PREAMBLE: WE THE PEOPLE of Howie Mandel, in order to form a more perfect group of bloggers, increase our likelihood of becoming DOND contestants, provide for our common interest, strengthen our personal economies, and to defeat the dubious banker, do ordain and establish this preamble for the American version of Deal or No Deal.

That was just a little patriotic satire, I hope nobody gets offended by it, and I hope that no one takes it too seriously or too personally. I WANT TO BE THE LAST BLOGGER STANDING! It's now a gun-down between the good, the bad, and the banker, LOL.

Andres:
You're a riot. Where do I sign my john hancock, or my dollydeb?

Linda: hope the flu is all gone now.

Nick, do you get to visit your family very often? Do they fly to LA or do you fly home?

Hi Judy, Marsha, Andres, Linda, Dawn, Ali, & Kathy.

Nick, I think your strategy worked, LOTS of clicks to your website now.
(thumbs up!)

dollydoings@aol.com

Just like our great country should be...
We bloggers are
ALL in this TOGETHER!

Andres, that was a riot! NICE!!
I just want to give a special hollor to JAN OUR POLKA QUEEN JOIN US HERE!!SOMETIMES THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE

Hi Nick,
It's not my intention to up and leave Mr.Banker's blog. I love that blog, it motivates me to write about "Deal Or No Deal", and one day I hope to be a Contestant, I have been trying since May 2006.
Your new post has inspired me to visit your blog more often now. Can you please explain to me what you mean by, reality competitions to eliminate someone each week until we get a winner. How and by what means will this be decided? These blogger's on here now have been with you a mighty long time. While I am a on and off blogger visiter here, but not anymore!!!
So what are we sewing today? Could it be something that hangs on the wall that says "Nick's Blog Home Sweet Home"? Hey you know it might just make Casting stand up and take notice and call us to be Contestants on "Deal Or No Deal". If only they could be like you Nick, and see that we are so valuable to the DOND Blogs.

Thank you dollydeb, Marsha, and Judy, I am feeling good, and am feeling at home here, I like it!!!
Andres, as usual I like what you write.

I'm glad all of you liked my DOND Preamble!! We are the bipartisan DOND Senate, Howie Mandel is the DOND President, and the banker is the DOND Treasurer, LOL! Seriously, I think all of you deserve to be on DOND IMMEDIATELY, and it would really be a darn shame if Season 4 passed by without having seen at least 1 of you up there.

I went to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest hot-air balloon event, this past Saturday morning with 3 of my folks, and it was so much fun!! We got to see so many different shapes--I saw 2 ladybug-shaped balloons and I thought, "This photo would be PERFECT for LB!". I also saw a cow, a blue dragon, an astronaut, and so many other shapes at this wonderful event. Our computer is not working right now, so I'll try to post all of those photos for you 3 ladies(Dawn Mays, dollydeb, and MarshaX3) for your viewing pleasure as soon as we get our PC fixed. I know you will enjoy those photos.

MarshaX3, you are so gorgeous, I'd love to see a picture of you in a dress! You should show off your hourglass-figure curves a little bit more.

Dawn Mays: You look very pretty too, I like your MySpace default photo. Black and white photos are beautiful.

Dollydeb: You're an adorable lady, and I always get a good laugh from all your silly videos! Will you let us know how many copies of your book you've sold thus far? I'm aching to see some photos of you as a teenager.

And John McCain made a personal appearance on my UNM college campus today, but I couldn't see him personally because I didn't have a ticket. From looking at CNN's electoral map, there's a mixture of blue and red across America. I'm assuming that ALL of you are voting on the Democratic ballot, but I'm voting for the Maverick! :-)

McCain/Palin 2008!

(PS--I have no intentions of turning this into a political blog, so if you're willing to have a political debate with me, we can do it through MySpace. Just click on my name tag.)

Hi Dawn:
Glad to see you adding a bit of sunshine to Nick's blog.

Now, we simply have to convince Nick we're not all about sewing circles and baking cookies...
And, I think Andres would agree-right Andres?!

LB-hope you are okay, especially knowing that Friday was your last day.

Nick, she deserves a special post from you.

BTW-when is the next Prime Time episode on T.V.? I can't find it.
thanks

Good morning Nick!

Dawn, I totally agree with your post on Mr. Banker's blog-Nick is civil towards his bloggers and is informative as well.

But, I love the energy on Mr. Banker's blog, as well.
The Yin, The Yang, and comedy with a Bang!

Either way, I think we have the attention of "someone" associated with Mr. Banker's blog-hey, it could be the Janitor!
Banker, Janitor-it makes no difference:
One creates the mess, the other one cleans it up!
{{{grin}}}

dollydoings@aol.com

There's too much estrogen on this blog, LOL!! Am I the ONLY man that posts comments here??? Yup, WAY TOO MUCH ESTROGEN, unless Ali is a man as well.

Of course we're NOT all about sewing circles and baking cookies...during my spare time, I like to read history books and play my violin(I still need to get new strings). Every once in a long while, I'll also watch tennis. Venus and Serena Williams, 2 American tennis players, are my favorite to watch. They are so agile and accurate!!

what are the chances of being a "guest" model on the show? A one time shot? Just curious...

Nick how is everything this afternoon?

Andres please feel free to join us on Nicks blog cause you are welcome everyone is welcome, I think the bankers blog is to opinionated, and so much negativity!!!

Nick, I am still counting my days and I am still very Determined to make it to the show this year or at least january of 2009 It would be great to spend New Years eve in LA!!! I owe you a Beer, Remember you were not able to make it to Muncie when when Dollydeb and Judyx3 and myself met at Applebees!!!

I will check back in after work my lunch hour is up....

Hello Bloggers
just wanted to let you all know I am here!
Have a great Day
Nick hope al is well

Nick, I'm new to your blog, I'm the MN Polka Fan. I've auditioned with DOND back last Dec. and I'm waiting patiently for the big call. I love to polka and thought the DOND show would put together an Octoberfest show just for me. I even sent them my favorite bands, what Howie should wear and outfits for the models. You have a tape of me dancing....

I got off the bankers blog because he never responds to us. I still think he is not the same one as before ... profile is not the same! I told the banker that I would kiss a frog or a snake to make money. I need money desperately! Oh well, I can still dance to my own beat, can't take that from me.

I'm going to an Octoberfest this weekend at a restaurant in Minneapolis MN this Friday night 10/10. Barefoot Becky is playing (and yes she plays barefoot). The restaurant is called Gusthaus Gamikluheit, we will be having a great time...too bad DOND couldn't meet me there and announce that I'm going to be on the show! What fun, what excitement!

I hope that MadMark doesn't come on this blog, I dislike his negativity.

Well dance to your own beat and smile (makes people wonder what you've been up to).

Nick...I know you don't have any way to get me on the show, but if you could just take my file out and accidentally have it fall on the producers desk (hint hint) it would be great.

Jan

HI Jan:
Glad you could join in on Nick's little party.
Another great idea-
Nick, maybe pull Dawn's, Linda's, Kim's, Martha's Andres', Marshax3's, Judy's, dollydeb's, etc.

Don't you just love our suggestions?

See, Nick-
we ALL love your blog.

Nick Greco, please answer this question for all of us: Will our participation on your blog actually INCREASE our likelihood of getting to be contestants on this show? Please let me know.

Nick, I've exchanged so many e-mails back and forth with Claudia Jordan, and she's not as mean to me as she is to you, LOL. She is a strong Obama supporter, and she has a radio talk show with academy-award-winning actor, Jamie Fox. She is very nice to talk to, and I also know that she is a well-traveled girl, having been to France(NO, she didn't travel with the banker!) and other parts of the world. At the age of 35, I still CANNOT BELIEVE that Claudia is a single woman!! If I win less than $5K on this show, I want to ask CJ to go out on a consolation date with me. Not only is Claudia beautiful...she's also intelligent, strong-willed, enjoys traveling, enjoys partying, and works with Jamie Foxx. So I'd love to go out with her!!

Another DOND girl that has caught my attention is that Russian beauty Anya Monzikova(case 10). I like blonds, and I think she's the cutest, most beautiful girl to come out of Russia! I'd like to get to know her personally as well.

But my favorite model is still Aubrie Lemon(case 23). She's got an IQ of 158, is a MENSA member, is a harp scholarship recipient, used to be a piano teacher, and she does those Sudoku number puzzles like me! And Aubrie is like a younger version of Pam Anderson. I think Aubrie and me would have a lot in common, so if CJ would reject my date offer, I'd ask Aubrie instead. :-)

Nick, could I have your job?? I could work around my engineering schedule to meet these 26 beautiful ladies. And I could arrange for Tommie Butler to meet all of them personally, because he's one of their biggest fans as well.

Hi Nick,and Best Bloggers Ever,

I am made it. I'm here, I'm here! I have been helping some family members today. The only thing I am not doing is standing. Do you think you could also consider calling it "The Last Blogger Sitting"???

Good Morning Nick

Well another day at work. Off I go!!!
If anything exciting happens put it on your blog so I can read it after work or call They all have my number there at Deal or No Deal!!!!

Hi Nick!

Again, a new day and your blog is full of activity.

Hope you post a new blog post soon-that way we can show you that we REALLY truly intend to stick around.

Hi Bloggers!

dollydoings@aol.com

Oh NIck Nick Nick, you may not see me but I'm still here. Did you think I would leave and forget you!! NEVER...not possible. I always know whats going on, I talk to Dolly, Dawn, Linda, Martha all the time! Love those women!! I would love to meet the women you work with too!! Now Andres if you want to have Nick's job, you had better get used to ALL the estrogen, lol.

Well I just stopped in to say a quick hi, and let you know I have NOT nor will I ever forget this blog. I'll be back but for now I have to practice and go kick some banker butt!! GOD I love my job!!

Ladies, both models and friends, I'll be talking to you later. Stay sweet. Andres I will be sending you an invite thru my space!

Greco, whats with that picture? Why are you looking up? What are you looking at? How come the model isnt concerned about the object that is falling from the sky?

HI Kim!
So glad to see you back and telling Nick how much we all adore his blog. (too feminine a comment?)

Nick's blog Rocks!

Hey, Eugene: Welcome to Nick's blog. Finally a guy to help balance out the numbers here. Andres should feel better now.

And, before the posts worry you-this is NOT a sewing circle. Most of the gals that post here post and look at the models to fondly remember their "hotty" days.

Now my days at hot, but not for the same reason.
And, as I told my BIL, I used to be a hotty, now I'm just a notty.

dollydoings@aol.com

Good Morning Nick, and Bloggin Pals,

N - Nevers fails to post often, which attracks bloggers like honey
I - Is very talkative in his post, actually addresses us personaly
C - Catches Mr. Banker's Bloggers by posting more often
K - K O'd Mr. Banker's blog, just joking.

Nick, I want to do a polka theme on DOND, complete with Lederhosen, and the whole thing. Think about the energy, think about the smiles that this will generate!

I gave Howie a Polka tape and I guess he just decided to keep it and enjoy it all to himself, shame I really thought he was into sharing.

I know my taped audition was a little off the wall, but man you only have 1/2 hour to show who you are and I wanted to make it fun. The producer said he would personally give the tape to Howie so maybe he has it and doesn't want to share it and Howie never got it.... Nick you have to check with the producer to see if he kept it! I need to get on this show, I'm so broke and I seem to get farther in debt all the time. HELP ME!!!!!

Keep your feet dancing to your favorite beat.

Jan from MN

Hi Nick!
I just want to comment that 'Last Blogger Standing' is a great idea.
-Thanks

Jan Paquette is like the Steve Urkel from "Family Matters" of this group, LOL!! Because that TV character plays the accordion and loves polka music too, and he is best-known for his "Did I do that?" phrase, lol. I'm a musically-open person, but my preference is more towards classical music and alternative rock. My favorite composer is Venetian native Antonio Vivaldi, the one who originally wrote "The 4 Seasons".

What about the rest of you, what kind of music do you listen to?

herederodegracia@yahoo.com
(505)379-8676

HI Simona! So glad to see you back and posting.

We ALL have to remind Nick that he's the best!

Andres, in answer to your question, I listen to everything from inspirational to hard rock, with country and bluegrass mixed in. (even a bit of Bach, from time to time. For the holidays, I LOVE to listen to the Transiberian Orchestra).

But...my favorite music is definitely the theme to Deal or no Deal!

dollydoings@aol.com

Hello Everyone,

Oh Andres, I love opera. I love "The Three Tenors", Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo , and Jose Carreras. I love to here Pavarotti sing NESSUN DORMA, and AVE MARIA. Sarah Brightman singing "TIME TO SAY GOODBYE", also love her singing it with Andrea Bocelli. Absolutly Wonderful! My favorite Opera's are "MADAMA BUTTERFLY". So, Beautiful!

I listen to all kinds of music.

Dollydeb: If you like bluegrass, I think you will enjoy the Appalachian music that Yo-Yo Ma played on his cello!! The cello is one of my favorite instruments...not only is it beautiful to look at, but it produces such a rich, mellow, resounding, and sonorous tone. But I only play the violin, not the cello.

Linda Caroots: You should hear "Madame Butterfly" on the violin! It's absolutely breath-taking!
