Happy Monday, blog buddies!

After a great night's sleep, I'm back at work this morning chugging through and trying to pretend that I'm not still totally sleep-deprived and worn down.

Coffee helps.

Truth be told, I feel pretty good after what was an insanely busy weekend full of both work and fun.

Here I am with the Tonight Show crew who came with me to shoot the segment.

From left to right: Alan, Scott, Mark, me, Gina, Kevin, Anthony and a hidden Isaias.

Then I interviewed two Playboy bunnies who were very nice and sweet, although I still haven't quite figured out why they were at the Kentucky Derby. Whatever the reason, I'm glad they were there!

Then I got all dressed up in my fancy Kentucky Derby outfit. I wanted to look like a total Southern gentleman complete with bow tie and a customary Kentucky Derby hat. Here I am in my fancy suit with my co-worker Gina who happens to be a HUGE horse racing fan.

Here I am meeting Chef Gill - he's the guy who creates the menu and also served the Queen - YES THE QUEEN - tea.

Then Chris, a bourbon expert guy, taught me how to correctly taste different types of bourbon. Then I stole his $1000 mint julep. Seriously. They were selling $1000 mint juleps.

I said, "Umm, it better come with ice-cubes of gold."

Turns out it came in a 24-karat gold cup.

I didn't really steal it. I gave it back. But I thought about it. :)

Then it was time for the Derby to begin. Here's a shot of the track where the horses run.

The actual Kentucky Derby isn't the only race of the day. In fact, there are 12 races that day and a bunch more the day before.

If you read the RossBlog on the regular, you know that I'm a sort of a gamblin' man. Well, I play the penny slots whenever I go to a casino.

I was a high roller this weekend when I bet a whopping $10 on a horse in the big race.

And guess what. Guess. You'll never guess.

My horse won! And I won $49!!!

Can you believe that?!? I was so so so excited! Maybe a little too excited? I kept getting flashbacks of that episode of Golden Girls when Dorothy gets addicted to betting on horse races and Rose has to call her out.

Promise, blog buddies, that you'll be my Rose if I suddenly turn into a horse race junkie?

Also during my derby weekend I went to a few parties including the Barnstable Brown Party (which I couldn't remember and kept calling the "Berenstain Bear Party").

I accidentally forgot my camera, so I didn't take any pictures with the TONS of celebrities I met and hung out with that night (including Joey Fatone, Apollo Anton Ohno, our blog buddy Jenny McCarthy and Kid Rock). Oopsies!

But Gina snapped this picture of me with Scott Speedman, aka "Ben" from Felicity.

Later that night I ran into my friend (and star of Hero's) Greg Grunberg, aka "Sean" from Felicity.

OH MY GOD I MISS THAT SHOW!

And, finally, do you think I got a chance to meet the Queen? Do you? Hmmm... you'll have to wait to find out. I will tell you, though, that I got pretty close. :)

Anyway, I have a ton of crap to get done before I run home to clean my house because I have a photo shoot in my living room tomorrow morning at 8am for Animal Fair Magazine. More info to come...

OH! And did you watch Celebrity Fit Club last night?!? Yeah yeah yeah... I only lost 1 pound that episode, but I promise my plateau won't last long! Keep watching - it gets REALLY REALLY good and I might even become an even bigger leader soon! :)

Okay, gang. I'm off!

Until tomorrow,
Ross

PS - Diet Coke helps, too, because I was drinking one while I was writiing today's blog and I feel GREAT! :)

Yay! How exciting, Ross! I love your outfit - your hat is very snazzy. Yes, I said "snazzy"!

quite the southern gentleman! LOL southern california gentleman anyway. LOL

congrats on the "big" win! (heck, i never win, so $49 is a big win in my book!) shmoo would have been very excited if it really was the "berenstein bears" party.

i agree, in my opinion...diet coke helps. everything!

Happy Monday Bloggers!!!

Wow, I have NEVER been first before!!! How exciting!!

Ross - looks like you had a WONDERFUL time!! Thank you SO much for sharing your experience with us!! Can't wait to see the segment!! AND, even more so, you bet and WON!!

Hope everyone had an excellent day!!!

you look great, Ross.
In the mint julep photo, you look a little bit like Truman Capote in a New Yorker cartoon. LOL (one of my favorite writers)

your outfits all weekend were sososo marvellous! Those suits are incredibly snappy and debonair (sp?). you're such a delight, Ross. can't wait to see the spot on the tonight show about your trip!

The blog and pics are great! Sounds like you had a lot of fun. I didn't realize you needed so many people to tag along for your Tonight Show segments!

Good for you on winning money! I'm so glad you're back!

Ross, I like the bowtie look and that hat! LOL..For some reason you remind me of a younger "Thurston Howell" from Gilligan's Island! LMAO

I can't wait to see this segment on TTS!

I am eating very low carb and OMG it's difficult considering how much I love and adore sweets and pasta!

Looks like a great time was had by all. Congrats on the $49 win. Loved the suit. Must say, it looks much better than I imagined when you mentioned Colonel Sanders the other day. Whew!

As always, I will look forward to your segment on TTS.

Hey, a 1 lb loss is better than a 1 lb gain. You did great!

Ross,
I love the pictures. You look like your having so much fun.
Wow you & the Queen lol how fun is that ..
You look great in the Hat love it.

Happy Monday

caralee

Ross you look absolutely stunning in your suit! The outfit, hat, and even the bowtie is exactly what I pictured you'd be wearing. Glad you had fun. I watched CFC, and you're just a doll!

Glynis - that's not my Colonel Sanders outifit. You'll see that in the segment. It's FAR different. :)
Ross

thankyou auntie,goldie and everyone.I totally deserved that cousin thingy
I am so stupid> Good bye all I wont be in the chat room anymore.
I would e mail but I dont have you all as a friend

Ross,
Happy Monday!!! Looks like you had a TON of fun!!! we had a huge Kentucky Derby party at the casino I work at and I kept looking at the screens to see if I could see ya in the crowds! hehe. how was the mint julep?? hehe Congrats on the win!

Ok All, BIG BIG BIG NEWS!!!! I am going to be in the audience of the Ellen Degeneres Show. It films this thursday and will air on monday the 14th so watch and see if you can see me!

Love the white suit, can't wait to see the segment

Oh my Gosh.... I LOVE you looking so dapper!!!
In one of those pics I swear it looks like you might break out in song...
Aow, wouldn't it be loverly?
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly

Ross, Looks like you had a ball, congrats on the win! You look too cute! Glad to have you back!! Loved the show last night, really good. Cledus(sp) is a sweetheart huh? Giving Mo his ticket, yeah I know it served a dual purpose but still...

Missy

Bradley, I always watch Ellen. Dance really BIG... Maybe break dance or do the big windmill arm thingy. I'll be sure to spot you:)

SWEEEEEEET PICS!

OM gosh....looks like you had a great time!

Thanks for sharing!

Barb

Ross...

I miss Felicity too!! It was the best show ever, I can even almost get past the time travel dual universe episodes in the final season ....

They should totally do a reunion show - we should campaign for it!

MEK!

Congrats on being first!

Woo Hoo!

Glynis....how are the kidlins????

Ross...love the outfit! You look like the perfect southern gentleman.

I'm so happy to learn you are a Felicity fan too. I saw Scott Speedman at Sundance this year. He's still a mighty fine man...I was totally swooning!

I'm looking forward to more drama on CFC. That Dustin Diamond sure is a headcase. lol

Oh no Ross! Too fun!! I hope you don't have me craving fried chicken in that suit!

Barb~ The kids are great. Only one needed antibiotics and everyone is on the road to recovery. Thanks for thinking of them!!

Great blog today with the pic's Ross! Just a little sorry that you didn't get a pic with Apollo~pretty sure that Glynis is too!

Congrats MEK on being first.
Have fun Bradley at the taping.

Roland, I have no idea what you are talking about. Cousin thingy????

Hope everyone has a great night! Mohammad Ali supposed to be at DWS tonight according to reports.

Great pics. Ross, I love the suit and hat. Just priceless. Seriously how often do you get to wear something like that and it's not Halloween! Love it!

Hey Ross!

Great Pics! It looks like you had a great time. You looked so tired (you poor guy) in chat last night and we appreciate you stopping by. I hope you got some rest last night. See ya around and stay fabulous!

~Brenda

Fabulous. I LOVE the suit and hat - you ARE a southern gentleman!! Can't wait to see the segment on Thursday!

(Totally jealous of your pic with Greg!)

Thanks for sharing the weekend recap and pictures. Congrats on the WINNING bet! Looking forward to TTS segment.

Everyone have a happy and healthy week!

:)

Ross-very dapper, indeed! :o)

oh, how I loved Felicity. It was such a cute show.

Bradley-I was also thinking what Pamela was. Dance silly, funny, etc to get yourself noticed. I'll be watching for ya!! so exciting!!

I watched CFC today online. Okay...Dustin...are there any redeeming qualities at all? I couldn't stand having to be around someone like that, at least from what I've seen so far. And I must say I was surprised to hear Kimberly Locke drop the F bomb. A few times. Online nothing is bleeped. I love to watch, though. It is very inspiring to see the ones that are there for the right reasons pressing on so hard. I can't wait to see next week!!!

I love your outfit! You did look like a southern gentleman! You should have had a huge hat though, that would have been awesome. :)

Brad~
I hope you are feeling better. DANCE BIG at the Ellen show....You may have to dance for her if she isn't out of that bed yet. I will look for you :). Have fun :).
~Brenda

Hi, Ross. This my first time leaving a comment to one of your blogs! I've been reading them for a while and everyone seems so sweet and felt like I'd be in good company!

You look amazing and I am watching CFC only for you! Can't wait to watch last night's episode.

Really excited about Thursday's segment on Leno!

Oh my gosh! I was a HUGE Felicity fan and I loved Scott Speedman!!

The pictures are great!!

CUTE bunnies there ross!
Looks like you had a fantastic time! can't wait to see the segment..
will be keeping my eye on you for any betty ford-ish horse racing interventions that need to be done.
LOVE that you got to check out good bourbon!
So what bourbon did you like the best?
any tips for your resident bourbon drinker?
(that would be me!)
Hey you got closer to the queen than any of us ever have.. so good on ya for that! You totally should have kept that glass.. coulda done without the mint julep though.. ick!
~b

Jon Bon Jovi and Josh Duhmel both singing on Ellen - how hot is that?????

Barb

Geez Ross it seems like u had alot of fun at the derby! Also it sounds like u need to to take one day just to sleep too! I cant wait to see the derby segment on Leno! Have a great day love u!

I could go for a sitcom that revolves around the culture of the south. The Southern people have a great sense of humor.

How is everybody doing with the GIT FIT?

Sassyscissors is making the most progress here, this woman is dead serious!
I took my fat ratio down, I am most happy.

It looked like you had fun!! i cant wait to see it on the show!! good luck today and tomorrow!!

Hym,

I am not officially on the list but I have lost 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks. 5 more to go to target weight. Going away and eating out for 5 days at th end of a week, but I am going to try to be good.....wish me luck.

Ross Love the pictures! Looks like you had a blast. Oh yea im drinking diet coke right now and i sure is helping me stay awake....Ive been up since 4 am with a sick dog.

CONGRATS BRADLEY FOR GOING ON ELLEN!!

Ross...You look so goood at the derby!! I love the bowtie!! Your whole outfit works so marvelously!
It looks like you had a lot of fun!

I did watch CFC...Twice. (just in case i missed something) You only lost one pound, but it could've been worse...You could've gained or not have lost any at all...So Kudos for the one pound. I can't wait to see the episode when Harvey almost takes out Dustin.

Glad to see all is well.
Until tomorrow!!

Ross....So glad to hear that you had a FAB weekend.... not that I thought you wouldnt... I am sure you can make some fun whever you go! Cant wait till TTS on Thursday and the Col. Suite :) Thanks for another great blog. You rock!! Even when you are tired ;)

Bradley.. so awesome about Ellen. I am at work when it aires in my neck of the woods, so maybe i can rememebr to tape it (I know... VCR!! I dont have a tivo or DVR yet...!) Glad to see you back...Missed you!! Do you know why Ellen was doing her show in bed this week? I get that she is sick, but with what?

Ross you fit right in with your Derby Outfit...definitely Thurston Howell-ish!
Congrat's on the Win...$49.00 buys a lot of pupperoni for your pawfect little Dog-ter!Even though she loves Wilson, I'm sure she's happy Daddy is home.
MEK: Go MEK #1!
Glynis:Glad the kids are doing better...
Thans again Ross for all the pics ... You looked totally exhausted last night in chat...rest and then clean.

BTW, Way to go Joey! Do what you need to do, the cravings for sweets will pass. The Carbs cause the cravings.
Auntie Mame: Welcome Home

Love the outfit.

I am so glad that you had such a wonderful time, Ross-ola! That is awesome! CFC was great last night! I am looking forward to next week's episode where you all trek thru the snow! Looks like fun!

Hugs to ya,
Sarah

Oh my, I forgot to say that I did see CFC last night...woo. Ross, you have the patience of a saint! Seriously, after seening some clips, it's amazing you kept your sanity! Although, I'm sure there was some crafty editing, but still!

Poohfan,
She pulled a ligament in her lower back. so the doc has her on bed rest. She should be off of it in a couple days. I am glad to be back too. Been down ill. But I am back and in good spirits. HEHE!

Poohfan--she hopped down a 3 ft level (a parking garage-type deal, I guess) and something happened in her back. like a slipped disc or something? I guess she felt or heard something when she landed. scary!!

Hi Ross,
It sounds like you had a fantastic time! Your pics were great too! I just loved your outfit... it was perfect.
Well good luck with your livingroom photo shoot. Hope you had a good day today and enjoy your evening as well! Take care!
Tracy aka sassyscissors2002

sonia

I've always had this fantasy of being a southern belle a la Scarlett, drinking mint julips on the wraparound porch and fanning myself with a paper fan. You look like you would fit right in, Ross, so you're welcome to join me on my imaginary porch anytime!
Bradley: I was excited about going to Ellen, too, and ended up in the riffraff room - make sure you get there SUPER early!!

Ross
The pics are great and you looked sothern gentlemanly. Loved the bow tie. Can't wait til the degment is on TTS.

Pooh
Ellen hurt her back and is confined to bed rest.

Bradley we will be looking for you on Ellen on the 14th.

Barb

Glad to hear your kids are doing good.

Thanks Bradley! I forgot what she said happened. lol Glad you're better, too! :o) IN spirits, eh? Drinko de Mayo was on Saturday! haha

Dabber Derby Duds!!!

Sonia,
they told me there will be no room this show. its the show in the park episode where the show is filmed outside. But I am definately going to get there early. :-)

Hey Ross!
I love the outfits in the pics. But more than that you look GREAT in them. You are holding the weight loss off (and possibly lossing more, it looks like) You look really, really, Great! And younger too with every new blog you post. I am very proud of you and your determination! I have lost 15 lbs and hit that plateau so I am looking forward to see how you broke thru it. I love watching you on the CFC it is just proving that you really are the sweet person that we all think you are!
Love you!

yup, Bradley's in the spirits alright..Barb said get there early, not Sonia. hehe!! *ducks*

Ross WOWEEEEEEEE KAZOWEEEEEE !!

You clean up real nice Rossy my boy!!
You looked so snazzy!!
Tell me do they have a heavy accent in Kentucky ???

HAHAHAA! oops! CG said get there early, not Barb. okay, time for ME to lay off the spirits! LOL

Um, Tracey and Brad? You guys still drinking??? It was ME who said to get there early! LMAO

CG,
Sorry I am losing my mind! HAHA!!!!

Sorry, guys. It was my fault! hahaha

I love this blog. u are too funny. and yes i saw fit club, i can't help but to watch and then come here and always say wow. keep it up.

OMG@Tracey multiple posting! LOL..I thought I'd never see the day;)

I will watch for you in the audience Bradley!!:)

Wave to my brother when he flies over Vegas and lands in 5 hours! LOL..It is a BIG deal in our family because he is the first of us brothers to fly!! He flew from Charlotte, NC to Atlanta in 40 minutes! He called and said "I have had worse car rides" LMAO

I am SO excited for him and can't wait until I can fly!!

I am also nervous until he lands! LOL

Off to eat dinner before it gets too late!

Wow Ross. It looks like you had a great time. I went to the Emerald Downs race track a few years ago and I lost. Oops. But I can so so close to hitting it big. I bet on every race and kept losing and losing. Then I decided to save my money and watch. I picked a horse that was expected to lose big time and it freakin' won. Grrrrr. I could have won $52 on a $2 bet. Oh well. No more horse races for me.

TTYL

ROSS you are just a perfect looking gentleman. I was waiting for a silly chicken colonel....and now you are saving it---must be good!! Can't wait to see TTS segment. Congrats on the win.
Smooches for Louise xoxo

WELCOME new blog buddies...
randymel keep coming back :)

Glynis I can't tell you anything you don't already know having three, but it is always something--right?? Poor babies hope they get BETTER soon.

sacBarb (re:Ellen today) a whole new meaning to 'double your pleasure'...my my my my my!! :)

Bradley sorry you were ill, but glad you're better. Super exciting about ELLEN!

Hi NESSER!! spots going going but not gone. Soon we hope but feels so much better.

LemonDeb thanks for sharing memories....no matter how silly!!

Summer over yet.......

* note to self, set up tape for ellen.

and brad, sorry to hear you were sick. of course, the night i was totally kicking @$$ in trivia...you weren't there to see it. LOL

Hi Ross,

I just love the pictures!
You look so handsome in hats~
I watched CFC last night and really enjoyed it~
Mo sure seems to have a wonderful heart~
Have a fun night
XOXO

` peace& happy smiles to all blog buddies**

Another awesome day in Rossland! I mean like, $1,000 drinks, the Queen of England, Playboy Bunnies and the Kentucky Derby. Right on Ross!

Due to my Canadian status I am unable to get VH1. So I have to watch what I can online. Which I'll do right now! See ya later folks!

Congrats on the Hawaii trip!!!

Oh yeah, when will your Kentucky Derby segment air?

Dear Ross,

What can I say? I just LOVE you and your blog!! You look ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE in your suit--bowtie, hat, and all!! You are such a handsome guy!! I'm glad you had such a great time, and you won money, too!! Wow!! What a perfect weekend!! BTW, I hope the photo shoot goes well for you tomorrow at your place.:) Have fun!!

Ross - You look wonderful!!!

I missed the beginning of Ellen so I have no idea why she was in a bed!! Does anyone know why? Can you please tell me?

Sincerely,
Susan

Hey Ross,

Love the photos, glad you had an awesome time.

I watch enough A&E Intervention to be able to be your Rose anytime. Whenever you need a friend to call you out!

CFC was great last night, I love all the drama. Plateau's happen to everyone when you are losing weight. Anyone who has had to go through it knows first hand.

I am proud to say that after my 1st week back at weight watcher's (after a 9 month absence) I lost 6lbs. I feel so much better eating healthy and exercising.

You are an inspiration to all!!

Since I don't do coffee-diet coke is my save-all!!

Until Tomorrow blog buddies.

jennjen

Love Love Love the Dapper look, it suits you Ross. I can't wait to see your segment. It's this Thursday, right?

- Bradley get to the Ellen show early you don't want to be left in the Riff Raff Room:)

Hey Ross! New to your blog but I am loving it!! But I must say I also miss Felicity!!! That was such a great show!!
Take Care

~erin

I was accused of being a racist For a comment I was trying to be funny but it back fired.The one person that was one the chat room was they were talking about korean food ---Sassiekiwi-her comment was { I eat korean} i was trying to be funny by saying {Yellow people taist funny} well no one laughed.it got bigger when I started to ask to take the ban off the chat room. Yes I Was Banned for That comment.I guess noone else has made a mistake in their life. I really enjoyed the company of all.now I am going outside to ride my Roller skates to the Charles river and be alone in my thoughts Good bye All I will miss you all very much.you see they get mad at me for putting this stuff in the blog.I think it's the only way to reach everyone.DIDN'T Ross say we can comment about anything in here.And that if people don't like what you say they can be a big person and comment on the blog where everyone can see and comment on their comment.

Susan - Ellen hurt her back

Sassiescissors Con gradulations on your git fit thingy

Traceydoodle: Oh, poor Ellen, do you know how she hurt her back? And thanks for answering me.

Roland ...

I do not like using the blog for personal things ... its a shared space. But I feel compelled to respond to you as you mentioned me in this space. I am going to say this ...ONCE.

In the chat room, I accepted your apology. I asked you to please just leave it and move on. People have the right to accept apologies or not - we have no control over that. What we do have control over is the choices we make. Your choice has been to blow this into a way bigger drama than necessary and continue on and on ... and ON. I am tired of it. My life has real issues I have to deal with. If you had just said "whoops. I am sorry" ... that would have been the end of it. You continued it - that is why there has been a negative response.

For the last time .. (and no, I will not be responding to you on this any more).

Please.

Just.

Leave.

It.

I am not angry with you. i am not offended. I am just tired of the drama. Life has enough drama without making more.

I havent been on the Blog in a while and honey you look FABULOUS!!! You really looks great. I keep missing celebrity fit club though, hopefully I can catch it soon.

Howdy Fellow Blog Buddies!!

KFC: Are you hiding from the drill sergeant? Too many push ups, huh? Lol

MEK: Congrats on being #1! You rock!!

Glynis: I’m glad you’re through the worse with the kids. Soon you’ll be back to normal. :)

Bradley: I hope you have tons of fun on Ellen’s show. If you dance really crazy, they might show it for us!! Hey, maybe Ross will let you borrow his suit for the show!

Downeysinnfld: Sir, Drill Sargeant, sir! I think KFC went AWOL, sir!!

I personally feel sorry for Roland

Susan - Ellen jumped down a 3 ft level in a parking garage and felt something in her back when she landed. youch!

Cheer up Mr. Roland. Everything will be OK

Hey can anybody help me out? How do I enroll in the bloggers get fit club?

Poor Ellen. That must have hurt!!

To sign up for the git fit club, just send your stats to: aikidomarie@yahoo.com

Sincerely,
Susan

Hey Ross!
Nice suit!

Sassykiwi I know you accepted my apollogy but your not reading Me right The ADMINS Blew this out of whack not me.I got banned what is to not understand

Mr. Roland - life is too short to worry about these things. Just drop it and move it on. I don't think anyone is mad at you. Just put a smile on your face and don't worry.
Sincerely,
Susan

To ADMINS you People Really don't know me do you.I am the one best friend that got away.You will never get to know me so I will be the {better man} and walk away GOOD BYE EVERYONE Ross has Asked me to leave.Beware of TO MANY CHIEFS AND NO INDIANS

mr roland - dustin diamond

I'll still comment because ross is a really nice person and he Locves to listen to what people say.He just does not know what is going on here To Many Chiefs and no Indians

almost at 100!!!

ok, so we're at 100!!! yayyyyyy now begins the march to 200!!

I've got to go now. I hope everyone has a nice night.

Sincerely,
Susan

OMG Ross your outfit is amazing! Loved you on fit club last night, dunno how you could put up with Dustin. Can't wait to see you on Leno this week!

Anonymous Even dustin has more nerve than you because I know who he is YES he is a man and to be a man you should leave your name instead of being anonymous Chichen

Thanks Susan:)

Happy Monday Blog Buddies!

Another beautiful day in Michigan! I just *know* the summer weather is on its way!

Ross, thanks for sharing the photos! It looks like you had a whirlwind MAH-VELOUS time!! Sometimes the whirlwinds are the best times! Can't wait to see the segment on Thursday night! I'll broadcast again during the ET run.

Sarah and Biscuit - Saw on Ellen today that Kelly will be on next week when she's doing the park thingy. Maybe it's when Bradley is there?? Wouldn't that be cool!

Take care everyone! Love and cake!

Beth

Roland anonymous was defending you

Can you read?

Roland-I think it's time to let this go. You were being defended. I think it's time to cut your losses

Beth,
Yes I will be there during the show in the park with Kelly Clarkson. The folks at the show told me today that after the filming of the show Kelly is going to perform 4 or 5 songs for us in a mini-concert. I am super excited!!!

*climbs up on soap box*

People!

Stop it! Stop the drama. Stop the fighting. Life is to be lived ... its about loving and living and making the wee space we inhabit a better place.

Don't we come to the blog because it is a positive fun place to meet and have community. It is positive because Ross has set that tone ...

Lets get back to that.

I for one will not be staying around here if its going to disintegrate into a negative, critical, squabbling space! I work really hard to be positive and keep my life that way ... if the blog is going to change its tone to negativity and drama ... I won't be coming back.

Come on ... we are better than this.

*climbs off soapbox and grins sheepishly* ...

you People kicked me out And anonymous get to stay

LET IT GO

sassikiwi-
I'm with you 110%

Ross-you look so great!I look foward to seeing more pics.Can't wait to hear about meeting the queen!Oh here is a great tip instead of coffe or soda (i can't drink either one) TE'JAVA black tea sugar free.It works!!!!(trader joes 99 cents) Have a great day BLOG BUDDIES!!!!

Ross I really need to talk to you man to man.Because all of your admins in the chat room are younger than myself.I thought you read the blog Thankyou sassykiwi

Ross I really need to talk to you man to man.Because all of your admins in the chat room are younger than myself.I thought you read the blog Thankyou sassykiwi

Ellen hurt her back picking up one of her dogs.. it was in t.v. guide...

Ross please im asking you in front of everyone of your blog buddies counting myself. {Please} Call me on my cell phone to streighten all this out

Ross- OMG they are great pics!! I said aloud WTF $1000.00 dollar mint juleps? I hoped everyone was able to keep there glass!! I can't wait to see this segment.

Mr. Roland,
ENOUGH!
The admins were MORE than patient in trying to get this worked out. YOU are the one who wouldn't let it go.(and continues to NOT let it go)

The blame rests with you, not me or janet or any of the other admins. I have a pile of emails that I would be happy to share if you want to continue this.
Ross knows exactly what has transpired, which is why he asked you to leave the blog and the chat room.
You said you would be the bigger man and walk away.. so walk away.

I am finished and I apologize for responding, but I will not allow myself or any of the other admins, who were disregarded by you at every turn, to be dragged through the mud on the blog. This is about much more than what you said in the chat room that night and you know it.
You will get no more attention from me. I'm done.

Sassie, this blog is not going to degrade to negativity.. it's always been about fun and it will continue to be that way.
I apologize that you had to deal with this yet again.

Biscuit

You should try to get Rosie to do a talky blog with you when you go on the View!

AMEN Sassiekiwi!!!-This blog has been the best thing for me.I,like alot of people had a really tuff year or more.Now things are better i have been trying to loose weight and finally am. It is so nice that we all cheer for each other ,THANK YOU!!

Hey Ross!

You look so dapper in your HAT! Can't wait to see the video on TTS!

p.s. I love Diet Coke too - YUMMO :)

Where are the Blog Cheerleaders??

We need a cheer right now to bring up the morale!!

C'mon cheerleaders!!

Okay so I love, love, love your hat, and I love it even more that you have a picture of you in the hat, drinking a mint julep, from the 24 karat gold cup. :-)

I DONT DESERVE BEING TREATED THIS WAY

WHO IS BEING DRAGGED HERE SHOULD I GET MY E MAILS OUT

Has anyone else heard the bad news? Gilmore Girls is ending. Two more episodes left, and then done forever. *sniff sniff* :o(

Sassi - as someone who has been here almost since the beginning, there are times when drama rears its head, but just bear with us and it will go away, as it always has before. Try to just leave it alone and concentrate on the good things and good people who are here. I won't get on a soapbox, cuz anyone who knows me knows that it could be dangerous for me to climb off it!

MR ROLAND,

Seriously?!?!?

Roland? Why did you post that?

Who Should Be Banned see What I have To put up with I now BOW OUT My lesbian daughter says you banned me because i am not gay {THERE IT IS}-Good Bye TELL ME SHE IS WRONG

Gilmore Girls is ending?!!? what??? Why?? Why didnt they tell us sooner??

Ross: You look AMAZING!!!!!! You are such a stud!

Joey and Goldie, I am adding you to the list of GIT FITTERS

MarzRose I am trying to show people that some people believe in me

Yesterday Hy and ChrisPoop had the funniest jokes. I copied and printed Hy's but I can't remember Chris'. It eas a Knock Knock...
Help, please:)

COME ON ANONYMOUS LOOK AT WHAT WAS SAID BY ADMINS To many chief no indians

Hi Ross~
this is my first time reading your blog.
not to overlook YOU or all the other exciting things you did---but, i am Very excited to see you in that pic. with Scott Speedman. i'm originally from toronto & have seen him live in a play. i have never had the opportunity to meet him though.
Lucky YOU !!

Take Care & Keep Well.

Aimee-I just read it on the Gilmore Girls site. Maybe they wanted to end the show while still good.

http://blog.cwtv.com/?cat=24

How 'bout those dancers on Dancing With the Stars?? I love me some Joey! And you know, I think Ross could do the hosting duties! He would be HILARIOUS!

Tom B. reminds me too much of Bob Saget....trying too hard to be funny, but he's not. Ross could make it even funnier to watch!

Beth (who is hanging out in Switzerland)

hymenoptera~ I don't officially get weighed until Wednesday BUT in the last 9 weeks (I am on week 10) I have lost 17.6 pounds on Weight Watchers... JenJen anyone can join the BGF club, we just post our updates, usually on Sundays. But I have been super busy all weekend and barely home so I haven't really been around to read all the comments..

Can I be added to list of git fitters? Please!

oh my goodness. the drama that is going on with this blog is unreal. when one drama ends it seems like another one ends. its worse then romper room here most times. i am with you sassie, enough is enough.

if this is ross's blog then why dont ross ban roland he has the power to do so.

i am getting so sick of all this drama. and mr. roland. never msg me on myspace ever again. i am not getting in the middle of things.

just sick of seeing all of this played out here. that is one of the reasons why i dont go into chat much.

life is waaaaaayyyyyy toooo shorrrrttttt ppl!!!!

build a bridge and get the heck over it.

ross if u dont do something about all this drama u are going to lose some great bloggers on here, including me. i have been here since last june/july. i love coming here. but lately its getting too much.

i am seriously thinking about leaving this blog. life is serious enough and we all have to deal with a lot of crap in our personal and professional lives, we do not need it on here.

and roland if u were not racist, which i am not saying u r, why would u even make a joke about another race, period. wars have been started over such comments. ppl are dying for our freedom and u are in here acting childish. let go and let God. pleasseee.

enough said. getting off of my soapbox now.

sonia

Roland~ Not sure what's really going on, but we've talked a few times, send me a messgae on myspace ( I just requested you)

traceydoodle, are u serious???? gilmore girls are ending? omg what is going on with this world. i lovvvveee that show. they always take off the great shows. i always looked forward to tuesday nights to watch them.

LOL. Hey you. :O) Not awol. Just really busy. Summer time.
I might have to start hiding from DSS. Will you abet me. LOL

Welcome Home Dear Ross. Did you miss me. LOL :O)
Haven't read the Blog but the pictures looked delicious.
Thank you Ross for all your time and your gracious sharing.
Will read and comment on your Kentucky Derby escapades
a little later. Love Ya Ross. Your Fan and Friend. Karen. xo

Amen Sassie, Bisc, and Sonia!

I haven't been here that long but this WAS my one place to go when I just needed to unwind from all the crazy crap going on and have fun.

Now, some nights I feel more stressed when I leave than when I got here.

You look amazing Ross!!!

Thanks for all the pics to look at. It's awesome you take time from your busy schedule to let us know things going on.

Ross rawks!!!

Thank you Biscuit for the above post.
I remember how excited Ross was when he told me he was starting a blog- it was all so new and such a big adventure for all of us!
Can we please just keep that feeling and disregard the people whose egos seem to want to make this blog their own?
People, this is just the adventures of my son, a Tonight Show Correspondent - not a venue for your personal issues. Get your own blog for that. That way we can choose to view them or not.

Hey Ross, Glad it sounds and looks as if you had a blast and congrats on the big win... can't waint to see the segmant on The Tonight Show, I have to admit, I mostly only watch it if your going to be on it. Watched FIT CLUB, I'm not sure I could have done that, I would have had to leave the show myself too much drama, I would have got an ulcer. GOOD GRIEF Glad you tuffed it out you look awsome...

how 'bout those bears?

(trying to change the subject)

KFC: I'll help you out if you take my duty in the mess tent this coming Saturday (Drill Sargeant has me peeling 50 lbs of potatoes) and make my bunk bed for a week. Remember the corners have to be tucked so tight that a coin can bounce off of the bed!! (I saw that on some movie or tv show once) lol!!

Haha pinky! How bout them Rangers?

Yada yada

Ross, thanks for the birthday wishes last night!
I'm stoked about TTS segment and cannot wait to see the Colonel Sanders outfit.
I am pumped about next week's epidsode of Celebrity Fit Club also - Someone is going home!?! EEK!

"dradle-dradle-dradle, I made it out of clay"....

WELCOME Bill-LH, erin and all new blog buddies~~

MEK lovin' that cheer!!

jennjen-high five >>

Hi Karen in Canada...how the heck are ya!?

It's funny there are different stories out there how Ellen hurt her back. But I did watch her show last week and she said she was sitting, bent over picked up dog and heard the crack. And since it was her 'baby' she wouldn't drop him....so cute! but ouch!

Think I'll go check in on DWTS.

Later friends....keep smiling

Hi Ross, Hi BB's.
Good time in the chat this evening. Just got home from my trip to Phoenix. Ross, I am telling you, ditch NW Airlines, and try Delta. Again, I had a hot lunch and great movie in first class.. You deserve it!

Bradley, we have never chatted, but I hope Ellen has a super give away for her audience the day you are there. I know someone else who was there on her 12 days of giveaways shows for Xmas and walked out with about $750 in goodies!

Back to Ross ( since this is his blog ) the CFC episode last night was good, but I hate that they kept giving Dustin what he wanted, more face time with all his drama. I commend you for not getting in the drama, and I am glad he didnt' say anything about you. That would have pissed me off.

Also, your Kentucky Derby outfit was spot on. You looked like a charming southern gentleman. Looking forward to the segment this week.

Everyone have a great day!
Peace !

you totally look like a hottie at the horse races! Lucky devil getting to mix with bunnies!

Gem8: My sentiments, exactly and succinctly.

Ross: Congrats on your horse coming in! Nothing beats that thrill!

And ROFLMAO@"The Berenstein Bear Party"! Didja see any cute bears at the party? Didja? Didja? :)

Joey: I can't wait until you fly either! Preferably right out to the West Coast!

Got FOADed all day yesterday. A couple of leftovers:

Patrick: Have you ever played "The Peach"??

Teri: Grin!

TT (the blogger formerly known as CG): Stay on that pedestal, at all costs! We've got enough things to worry about!

Glynis: Glad to hear you didn't fly with your kids over the last few days! LOL!

LOL@Seaside Lady welcoming Bill to the blog! Any questions, Bill?

Whabbear ... Yes, I have played in the Peach a couple of times. The first time I played in it I made it to the finals of the 4.5 doubles with a partner I had only played with a couple of times. We beat 2 seeded teams and were really playing well. We have a huge G & L league here called ATTA, so most everyone in the league plays the peach. You guys ever come and play in it?

hey you changed your pic! was wondering when you would do that. live in indiana read you are coming here. true? why? ha

Ross, loved the color choices of your outfits. And you complimented the Playboy bunnies quite well.

Thanks for coming into chat last night, it's always exciting to be able to ask you questions and see your reactions to what I say.

Do you have to major detail your living room? I always like to know in advance when company is coming as I mostly clean on the weekends.

Hy-thought of you yesterday. I was in my friend's garden and he said the native bees were swarming, so he took a 1/4" drill and drilled holes in some posts for them which they filled up immediately. He said they don't sting, so I felt great affection for them. If only I could replace my wasps...

There are many events coming up on the calendar. I will try to keep it up to date the best I can. If I've forgotten anything, please let me know. I added Bradley's appearance. Love ya Brad... WEAR THE UNIFORM....

Here's the link to the calendar:

Ross, GREAT NEW PHOTO!! Now you look like the new you :)

Happy Monday Ross, Louise, Mom_ross, & Pals. :O)

Thank you for The Ross Blog Ross. You have brought
a lot of nice people together here. Hugs to you for that.

LOL @ you in a Playboy Bunny Sandwich. Yummo! :O)

Loved your Kentucky Derby Outfit. Very sharp indeed.
You can come and get me anytime Big Daddy. LOL

Beautiful shot of the track, thanks. Congrats on the win.

Keep our World Laughing Ross. Love ya. Karen & her noise. xo

rhondahonda
Deal Pal. :O) Hello Arthritis City. Here I come. LOL xo

SEASIDELADY
I am too Blessed to be Stressed, and I thank ya kindly
for asking. Always lovely reading your posts. I like your
friendliness and your kind heart. It shines through. Hugs.

GO SUNS GO!

woo hoo for the new header

Well, I guess we might as well just hear it
for me triple posting. LOL

Ross!!! Love the Picture.
Hunka Hunka Burning Love.
Baby light my fire. LOL
Great Great Shot. :O)

Ross: Your life is just too much fun!!! Good for you!!!

love the new picture..
er..
ok..
the old picture!
it's the revolving door of header pics!

Great photos Ross...you look so GQ in the suit! Bravo on the successful wagering as well. You should try Santa Anita sometime, it's a gorgeous facility and close to home. I've only been there a few times but I've always left with more money than I brought. I'm so with you on the penny machines. I have a friend whose birthday is the day after mine...around Thanksgiving. We're both single and our families live out of state. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday it seems all friends have family plans...so 5 years ago we decided "screw-it", it's our birthdays and we're going to have some fun so we hit Las Vegas...usually the Sunday - Wednesday before the holiday. The town is deserted, rates are low and we've always managed to book spa & show tickets. Every year we stay someplace different: Luxor, The Venetian, THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay (the best room by far) and last year we went off-strip and did the Marriot in Summerlin (most successful gambling for both of us). We haven't decided where we're staying this year...it's a biggie as I will hit the "Big Five-Oh". (Where did all the time go?)

Mom I mean no disrespect to ross but your right Admin thinks this blog belongs to them.Ross is a big boy now he can handle it by himself.Come visit my myspace where it is my life and I also share it with everyone it is not private .i have nothing to hide.

I come in peace

OMG Ross, You are too FUNNY! Thanks so much for sharing the fun photos and comments. I can't wait to see the item on Thursday's Tonight Show :)

Oh My Ross You look so Dandy in that outfit and I love your hat it was so cute. I can't wait to see it on the show thursday.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO SOME MORE TALKY BLOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Patrick: Unfortunately, neither one of us play the circuit anymore... not even the USGO!. But if you ever want to come out west and play the Palm Springs tournament over Thanksgiving, let me know... I'll come out of retirement! With all of Rossland cheering us on, how could we lose?

Hart: Hello!!

Current mood: annoyed

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE

strike one your out

ANONYMOUS SHOW YOURSELF OR YOU WILL GET KICKED OUT NO QUESTIONS ASKED

Love your pics from the Derby.

Bradley- cool on the show. I saw a taping a couple of weeks ago from the riff raff room and they offered me seats for another show. I had a choice of the Park show but chose a different date or we could have met up.

I love Ellen so of course I will be watching, although I don't know what you look like.

I can't wait until I see the segment on TTS, I love them.

I missed CFC because my PVR only tapes 2 shows at a time, and I didn't switch it :=(

D

my job is done here

AND THE DRAMA CONTINUES

The vibes in here are not politicly correct

Mr-Roland, I have lurked here for a long time and from what I can see tonight, you are way too obsessed and it looks like there are obvious reasons you have been asked to leave. Why would you want to be here if Ross has asked you to go? I wouldn't. I would not want to stay where I am not wanted.

Seems like a no brainer.

My Dog understands the word STOP, what part of stop don't YOU understand?
You have been asked to leave, yet you persist, you are making a fool of yourself and only confirming the decision to ban you was the correct decision. It should have been done when you first arrived in chat and started all this nonsense, but being the kind and loving community that we are we tried to help you follow the rules and help you become an accepted member of this community. Months of drama continued with you casting blame and dispersions on everyone else. You have turned our community of fun and frivolity into Drama all about YOU.
You are an attention seeking individual like a naughty child any attention is better than no attention at all.
You have insulted and annoyed a very nice group of people. People who have open arms for all except for persistent annoying jerks. You have become a member of that group all on your own, and now I suggest you find another chatroom to annoy because we are done with you... go sulk and move on...There is no longer a place for you here. A vote was taken by the chief, and all the indians voted and now you are gone.
So leave!

And thats the kind of people that are in the admin up there no prisoners

Jacny thats not me there

Dear Mr. Roland :O)

I do not know what went on between you and others,
nor do I care. It is none of my business and I do
not choose to make it the same. It is really irrelevant to me.

May I ask that you please take up your issues somewhere
other than the Blog. It would be professionally
compassionate of you not to involve innocent others
in your complaints. Pursuance of your matters, I am sure,
may be resolved in the Privacy of your own domain.

It has been my personal experience, that unresolved
issues are handled more expediantly, and more
effectively, if they are controlled at the source.

Thank you Mr. Roland. God Bless You.

Sincereley.

Karen From Canada

There are no indians here just chief noone to fight the battle just people to give orders

A vote was taken by the chief, and all the indians voted and now you are gone.
So leave!

I thought this was a peace loving place

It's obvious Mr. Roland is special. It's good to see people dealing with him in a calm, professional way. Good job, admins.

may the flees of a thousand camels infest your armpits PEACE OUT

I wonder if the Marriot Hotel knows they have an employee who sits on the computer all night harassing people.!?!?!?!?
Time to make a phone call!

see Admin is in charge not Ross

I am not at work HYM

I've been 'lurking' for a while. Had to join the fun since I read every day.

I wonder if everyone gets as excited being the last poster of the day as they do being the first?

Ross, wanted to tell you that it's great to live the things you do through you. Your blog makes that possible. You're a great guy!!

See you all in 'cyberspace'...

Mary from Minnesota

Anonymous you are such a human you cant even let people know who you are

Good night I give up on you hypocrates

Ross
You look so dam smart in your Derby day attire. Good for you. I didn't realize you have been through such a transformation until I saw you on Leno several nights ago. He was making a comment about your long torso. You were in a purple shirt I think? Glad to learn you have this blog so it is easier to keep up with you.
You look great and have fun!

silence is golden!!!

I can not sleep too much noise

Oh my goodness,someone came in here as me.People that is not me up there I am at work and just got back from making runs to and from the airport how could you all think it was me I could never.Oh forget it your minds are made up anyway.

I hope Ross has the techknowlogy to figure out who that is up there, because it's not me. and I have more runs to the airport and don't have any time right now to figure it out. See you Later

jeeze i quit reading so I would not snack out of stress what does foad mean is it not being able to post, anyway I am alive in Kansas but one tornadoe was close and the sirens went off and we hurried to basement!

Mary in Minnesota

Mikey,
I think its time for me and you to do a song and dance! HAHA!!!!

"Queen of the night, ooh yeah, oooh yeahhhhhh...." haha!!!

Brad love!!!! you should come into the room we are still here!!

Foad = fu-- off and die

You have been banned.[

I guess the blogg digressed a bit last night?

MAry from Minnesota they only get excited about being last if they were first also!

Janie nice to meet you.

Mom your 2 cents are worth a million bucks.

Missy and JennJen I got your info in that data base.
Just so you, I watch the blog for people making comments about their progress and regress, and people signing on to the GIT FIT.
I am including anybody making efforts to be healthier, not just weight loss. So people eating healthier, getting more exercise, etc.
Several people had a head start and are making tremendous progress.
Best of all, you guys keep me motivated. That and the fact I have to use a crowbar to get into last years summer cloths.

Could someone please pass the PEACEPIPE???

Have a great day blog buddies!

Thank you Ross and Admin.

Mrs. eHarmony

lol Hymen... me too.

Tracy aka sassyscissors2002

Hi ya Handsome! You crack me up. I love the talky blogs. I started to the same thing on my page inspired as well by Rosie. They are soooo much fun. You looked awesome in your derby outfit. Looking forward to your segments on TTS and The View. Hope you have a great day!

Miss Manners yes the bees are very cool! I love, love , love them!
In general they are very gentle.
Some times they can be very aggressive such as when they have been attacked by skunks, opossums or yellow jackets.
The Africanized bees are very aggressive, similar to yellow jackets. They stay in the south; they can not survive up above the frost line.
I just went to pick up new hives this last weekend, hundreds of hives all over the place and I didn't get stung once.
In the summer I wear white tee shirts all the time. the honey bees will land on me and just hang out, they give themselves a nice bath and visit for a few minutes than fly off.
I learn an enormous amount just by staying still and watching them.
By June each hive will have about 80,000 bees per hive, They only live about 1 month

wow awesome about the bees

Hi Ross, are you trying to make me think I was drunk last night. There were new updated photos of you at the top of your page, and now the old one is back. Am I that jetlagged?? :-)

MISSY YOUR MY SPACE HAS BEEN CANCILED

You look SO skinny in that suit!

Trish and MEK and Sonia keep up the motivational speechs, ( aka cheers)we need all the help we can get

(peeking around the corner)

Is it okay to visit the blog today? Is the drama over? I was so sad last night from the bickering. I just want peace and harmony once again. PLEASE!!

Holy bunch of guano Batman!!

To utter the enternal words of Ross Mathews....

In the beginning Ross Mathews created the blog and the chat room for his fans so everyone could have a good time!!

Then Ross created the new chat with the administrators for the posers, haters and people who stir the pot and it was good.

So Saith The Mikey

I was going to stay out of this drama but I feel now compelled to say something

Roland- That one night I blocked you in chat is because you were being too needed. You were Always saying dock me dock me dock me and saying nothing. Then you kept agreeing with yourself in the comments section on the blog with many different aliases. Like you did today. Instead of causing drama, I ignored you to keep the peace.

After that night, you sent me a nasty gram on MySpace and I said NOTHING again to keep the peace in chat and on the blog. Now again you really stirred the pot and you are now shunned. Deal with it!! This blog and chat room is all about Ross and not YOU!!

I'm sorry Ross and bloggers for going off!! Roland now has plucked my last gay nerve!!

BTW Diva and Bradley- Baaa haaa haaaa with the sing a longs.

LOVED the pictures from the Derby, Ross! You looked great! It must have been so fun to be there...and congrats on your winnings, too!

Have so much fun during your photo shoot today. Looking forward to hearing about it later. :)

Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

Good Morning (I hope) Fellow Bloggers!

Hy: I did not know that the bees only live about a month! They work so hard and then they die! How sad!

Aunt Em: I'm glad you are okay. I know how scary tornadoes can be. I used to live in Columbus, Ohio, and we had a few tornadoes while I lived there.

I hope we have a better day on the blog than yesterday. Like the Partridge Family once sang, "C'mon, get happy!"

My favorite picture of Ross is the one in which he is drinking the mint julep. He just looks so cute!! I can't wait to see the segment on TTS!!

Seaside Lady: Hope I didn't offend you! You are new, and there's no reason you would recognize all the long timers!

I was just amused because Bill, LH is Bill, Lord Humble from Victoria, a longtime Rossland regular. He's also a dedicated paramedic, just about to celebrate his 50th birthday, and one of the most positive, respected, and liked members of of our little community. I think you'll enjoy getting to know him!

Have a great day, and I hope you survive the seabreezes this afternoon! The heat wave is over!

{MIKEY} THE BLOG AND CHAT ROOM ARE ABOUT ROSS NOT YOU.shut up your making me angry

Rhondahonda, when did you live in C-bus? I've been here awhile and have thankfully never experienced a tornado. There was a small one about 15 years ago, but it didn't affect us.

Rossalicious, it was a wonderful Derby, and I loved your pics...glad you had a great time, and can't wait for the segment! CFC was fantastic Sunday! Cledus and Mo made me cry, and Dustin had me yelling at the TV!!! Sorry I ever liked him on SBTB!!!

Yeah, my fellow cheerleader is back!!! Hey, Trish!!!

Sonia - I am really developing great biceps with all these push-ups!!! :-)

I hope everyone is having a peaceful, loving day!!!

WHOA NELLY!! I have missed some craziness!! And..I think im happy about that...

Anyway, Ross is lookin pretty smokin in that get-up!! You look like you had a great time!! Too cool!

I watched CFC (of course, wont miss it), what a good bunch of people on that show, you all are fantastic. And I am deciding not to say anything mean about Dustin, *enter the psychologist inside me* I think he just wants to let go of that Screech title, and is searching desperately for ways to do so, I dont know why he is choosing to take it out on other folks, but he is.. oh well... he is still human, kill him with kindness is what I say!!

And for the record, I LOVE this blog, and everyone has always been super nice, and only when its NEEDED do they block people,(correct me if im wrong, but I dont think that happens too much) I dont go in the chat room that often, but when I do I am greeted by tons of friendly people, so..with that said, I stick by the chiefs, LOL..ALL OF THEM..I trust their judgement!!

Have a great day all!!

Good Morning, BlogBuddies!

It's been a while, as my kids and I have been sick with a stomach flu for over a week! EWWW!

I will have a lot of catching up to do, as time permits!

ROSS - I ditto the Thurston Howell comments - you SO look the part!

Have a great day, all,

Until later...

Ross does look like a young Mr. Howell. He is so dapper. I can see him doing a mean charleston

Hi Im new her I watch the tonight show all the time I will be in the chat room later hope to see you all there .

Hey Trish! :o)

My sistah from another mister.

To all who are becoming discouraged by recent drama--

I have been a part of this blog from the beginning...when Rossalicious was in Torino. In that time, I have seen a lot of people come and go: some that have caused drama, some that have left because of it, and some that just weren't about what this blog was about. That's fine...part of life, really. When hundreds of people are brought together, be it in person or online, personalities clash, and people get ugly. But what we have to do is move above it. Ignore it; because the other thing that I have seen in the time that I have been here is friendships forged, relationships cemented, and a bond formed among all of us that transcends a chatroom. We have laughed, cried, cheered, encouraged, prayed and yelled together, most of us for over a year. I guess what I'm saying is that the drama comes and goes, and what we have to do to stay sane is ride it out...trust me, it won't last. And isn't this place worth riding it out?

♥

Sonia: Sir, Drill Sargeant, Sir! Thank you for the day off. I need a mental break!!

JenFK: I love in Columbus from 1982 until 1989.:) I loved Columbus! A great city in which to live!!

Fury: Welcome to the warm family of Ross Bloggers! Isn't Ross a cutie?

Tuxedo Cat_Jodi: Sorry to hear about your illness. I hope you and your family are soon back to normal!! Hopefully the Drill Sargeant won't make you give her 20 until you have completely recuperated.:)

JenFK: I meant to say that I LIVED in Columbus from 1982 until 1989. I guess I just want everyone to get along and love each other, so I have love on the brain today.:)

Saluting, drill sergeant Sonia, sir. Ma'am. Ma'am sir! I've lost 4 pounds, and I'm eatin' good in the neighborhood!

C'mon, all you who signed up with Hy! Send her your numbers. Let's keep this going...

TY, Trish, for the cheer (I'm imagining you up on the stage at "Rossstock")!

TY JAC and CG for the "low" laughs last night!

TY Ross for creating and maintaining the blog!

Where's JNO?

whabby:
u go bear
"skip over and
move on"

have a great day!!

cg and mikey, you float my boat.

JNO where are you?
and Annie?

I have been going to the gym everyday, even though I haven't wanted to. But Ross did it everyday, even when he didn't want to and it worked for him so I am doing it also.

I love suits and have never bought a white one. Ross looks so good in that suit I want to get small enough to buy a white suit.

Whabby and Hy - JNO just sent a bulletin thru myspace - her computer got fried during one of the storms!! She'll be back soon.

Happy tuesday everyone

Trish.. excellent post!

this place IS worth hanging around and scrolling..

the weather outside is beautiful.. everyone take a walk today.. just a small one !

you will be glad you did!

~b

Trish - Very well said!

Have a great day everyone :)
Hugs,
Tracy aka sassyscissors2002

I ♥ Trish.

Hi Hy and Jr! I'm here. I'm not interested in all the diet talk so I am not around as much as usual. :)

A walk is a beautiful idea, Bis.

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches........... LOL

Alright, now that I have your attention, LOL.

Good Morning Ross and Blogging Gang. :O)

I hope everyone has a great day. Off to do my 10 laps.

Love Y'all. Hey and Hugs.
Karen and her noise. xo

It is gorgeous up here also Bisc.
Are we supposed to take a walk on the wild side?
dup do dup, dup da doop, do, da do
hey babe take a walk on the wild side
ok who knows the next verse?

Happy Tuesday blog buddies-taking a break from the yard work to check in.

I second that Trish had an awesome post. I new within the last two weeks to the blog, and haven't really "got to know" anyone, but I really look forward to it. Life is drama right? And, people come and go in our lives, but those who can hang in through the thick and thin of things, those are the people that are worth surrounding yourself with.
As my father used to tell me...opinion's are like AHoles everyone's got one. And, if you realize that, and know that what your opinion is might not be what someone else's opinion is and you can deal with it, then you will go far. On the other hand...if you think you always have the right opinion...then I for one don't need to surround myself with that negative energy.

The one thing that I have loved about Ross since I first saw him was his positive energy, and thus drew me to this blog and to actually post. The energy is AWESOME!!

O, I am done with my opinion today.

Have a great Tuesday.

Whaabear-way to go on the 4lbs. Feels awesome doesn't it!! Keep up the good work.

**J**

Trish - Nice, thoughtful post.

Sonia - Don't forget me way down here in West Texas. lol

Ross (aka Thurston Howell) -
Thank you for taking us with you behind the scenes. I always enjoy getting to see a little preview of what to expect on TTS. You look so awesome in your suit.

Mom_Ross - Thanks for raising such great sons!!!

I said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

Thanks for adding me Hym. I will be on my road trip this weekend so will give you numbers when I get back. Wish me luck with eating out 5 days in a row!

Happy Tuesday blog buddies!

Annie so nice to hear from you,
What else is going on where you are?

I've been too scared to buy a scale. There has been ALOT of stress around here the past month and sadly I am a stress eater, but I have been trying!

BEN! YOU MET BEN! Err... Scott Speedman lol I'm so in love with that show, I have all 4 seasons on DVD :)

Gem8: Skipping... and prancing... and skipping...and prancing....

Memo to MEK, KFC, Joey, sthrngrl, Mrs E, and everyone who've been comparing Ross to Thurston Howell:

It just cracks me up that golfer Charles Howell III gets called "Thurston" from the gallery! Apparently, he hates it!

But... being evil and perverse... I would just love to attend a PGA event, follow him around the course, and shout out "You go, THURSTON!" at every opportunity! LOL!

sthrngrl; take your measurements and then go for a walk when things get stressful.
Exercise helps the body process the cortisteroids the body produces under stress.
I also keep a bag full of celery and carrots for the "must stuff my face" moments. Not exciting but it works.

Don't worry gang. As it's been done before, we're handling the drama on our end.

It ebbs and flows, blog buddies!

:)
Ross

Hi Ross!!

I love the photos Ross!!!!
Congrats on winning $49.00!!!!
Hugs,
Teresa

Yeah!! I got to post after Ross! Am I considered #1 like the first post person of the day since I posted after Ross?? LOL!!

Hate to be a naysayer here but why is there even replies being made to these posts? Even the one I'm writing right now doesn't even need to be said, other than the fact that I'm making a point out of my own hypocrisy. Everyone, I challenge and charge you to please never, ever reply to anything that is said in the future by our infamous drama-mama. I'm committing (after this point, and from now on) to never, ever address or reply now matter how hard it may be to anything Mr.Roland says.

Shhh!

ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.. A BEAUTI.............

;)

I ♥ Annie right back!!!
Oh, and Rossalicious...I triple ♥ Rossalicious. Thank you for handling the drama. Over and over and over. And over. ;)

Trish: I like the name of Rossalicious!! That's perfect!!

Hartldo I forgot to say how nice it is to see you also.

Oh my - I just got my first FOAD!!! Now I know how Goldie feels!! :-)

Thank you, Rhondahonda...I've been calling him Rossalicious for awhile now...I was just typing one day and it came out...then it kinda stuck.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the outfit!=]

Trish--nice to see you cheer for us again!!!

Hymen--I'll be e-mailing you this week, as I'll be stepping on that dreaded scale again!!!

Sonia--I did my push-ups, actually I did 25 of them this morning, do I need to do 20 more????? LOL

Tuxedo-cat-Jodi---welcome back!! I sure hope you're feeling better!!!

KFC--love ya sis!!!!!!

TY to all the admin. and everyone who said stuff above about certain people, I just ignore those annoying gnats!!!!!!

MEK--hopefully you won't get FOAD'ed like poor Goldie has!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

OMG Trish: I LOVED your post!! GO GIRL! HaHa;)

I'm trying to help on march to 300! lol

I hope you all have a beautiful day! :)

The weather here is gorgeous!

The comments go marching one by one, hurrah...hurrah...LOL! I think that it is great that we can hit over 300 comments!

Happy Tuesday, gang!

Sarah

Doing my part for 300!

Sorry you got the FOAD MEK- it sucks, doesn't it????

well crapola, that was me- stupid machine keeps erasing my info!

goldie

Good morning all (it's still morning here in the west).

Auntie Em - so glad you are safe. I can't imagine the terror of living thru a tornado. We just have earthquakes, but they don't last long.

Hymenoptera - fascinating about the bees. I didn't realize they have such a short life. They do a lot in that amount of time.

jennjen - I too am a relative newbie (about 1 month) and I have found that for the most part these are the nicest people. I think they take their cue from Ross with his positive energy and his willingness to share his life experiences with all of us.

Barb

OMG are we going to 300? I will have to help out!

Ross.....I love love love the pics from the Derby. I have always wanted to go tour the South. One of these days I will get there. Anyone down there want to put me up for a couple days?

LOL!
Me

300!

299????

Bwaaaaa haaaaa haaaaa Rhonda! I was 300!!!!!

Joey~ HELLO!!! Hope your brother is enjoying Vegas!

The nice thing about drama is it reminds us all how lucky we are not to be a whacko!

**fingers crossed hoping for a Talky Blog today**

HYMENOPTERA- loved reading your post about the bees. It is all fascinating to me! I have a couple of questions....

Why are some people allergic to bee stings and some are not?

What book about entomology would you recommend for learning more?

Happy Tuesday to ev1! Love you all!!!!!!

loves,
Auntie Mame

Good Day Bloggers! The sun is shinning and all is well with the World!
Trish: You have been calling Ross Rossalicious for over a year and it makes me giggle when I see it. Glad you back in the blogosphere!
Welcome to all the newbies way too many to mention.
Mikey: ♥ Amen Sistah! Hope you have a great day.
Daria: Holla...you must be busy we haven't heard from you much lately...You are missed.
Hy: Glad to hear you got more Bees, they are still noticeably absent down here.Thanks for your lovely e-mail, it is always encouraging to be told your doing a good job.
Sonia: Take it easy on me, I have a bad back and it's been a stressful week...lmao!
MEK: The FOAD Monster is an equal opportunity FOADER...even Ross has been FOADED, and it's HIS Blog.
G: Stay focused Good Job, how was your first day now that it is over?Any cravings?

Now, let's return to some posts from last night...People (Rodney - May 07, 2007-21:29:42. Holly - May 07, 2007-21:31:45, PAtlanta, May 07, 2007-21:33:27, Gym_Rat_Krick - May 07, 2007-21:42:08, and atlbiscuit - May 07, 2007-21:55:08) and mentioned that they saw a new pic of Ross in the header section. Please tell me what it looked like because I didn't get to see it. I'm curious!!

rhondahonda - it was a new pic of Ross in a striped polo and it was a very good pic. In fact the header pic moved in a couple of different poses. Where did it go??? Don't know!

Barb

Happy Tuesday All!!! Ross, you look mmmmmaaaaaarrvelous!! (in my best Billy Crystal voice)

So looking forward to your segment on Thursday!! Looks like you had a fab time!

Take care all. Live♥Laugh

OOPS!! That was me - I'm doing this from work...sshhhhh!!!

You all marched to 300 VERY well, and without our drill Sgt!!! or KFC!! Good job!!

Crossing fingers that the posting Gods are with me!!!

Clapping for our Marching Band. LOL :O)

Whabbear
I didn't say it but would you Thurston me please.

Lil Ole Me
Love ya too. :O)

MEK

Here Teri, here Teri. LOL xo

Ross - I haven't had much time to watch the talky blogs, but I love them anyway - thank you for sharing yourself! I can't wait for Thursday nite and TTS!!
Hy - I learned more about the bees in our newspaper the past week - it is scary about the "disease" wiping out lots of them! I never knew how important and needed they were! Oh - I haven't weighed myself lately (as weight isn't the big issue) but I HAVE totally been walking every single day since the first day I said I would! And my legs are tired!!

Good Morning all!!!

Mikey,
LOL@ your rant. I doulbe JAC's Ahmen sista!!!! hehe

Joey,
How is your brother enjoying his trip?

Whabbear,
How you been hun???

Ross,
would LUV LUV LUV a talky blog today!!!!

Auntie mame
there is a book about bees of the world that is the most interesting, for expert and laymen alike, if its bees you want to know about.
Wasps are a whole different family so there are separate books on that subject.
There are several guides to insects in general, so let me know what your interest and I will suggest some books and where to get them.
Many women are now becoming bee keepers.
email me:
aikidomarie@yahoo.com

Oh ya, about the allergies:
The allergy is a sensitivity you can only acquire through having been stung at least once by a specific type of bee or wasp.
The venom is made of protein enzymes. Each creature has a different venom. so you can be allergic to one but may or may not be allergic to the others. So you might be allergic to paper wasps but not honey bees or bald faced hornets or bumblebees.
For medical reasons there are considered to be 5 types of venom.
The only way to determine allergy is to be tested by n allergist. it is very important to be tested if you are concerned. The reason is this is one allergy that is deadly. But the cure rate is very high with this allergy treatment. If you are really allergic you need to carry an epi-pen.
I am not allergic but I keep one with me just in case I have developed an allergy without knowing it.
There is no rhyme or reason why one person allergic and others not.
Most bee keepers build up immunity to the venom of honey bees.
They also use bee venom for a homeopathic treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and MS. There is no scientific data on the effectiveness though.

Come on Barbara! Be careful though because it might be hard to leave the South once you get here :)

I didn't see the new pic last night either

sacBarb: Thanks for the info about the new pic. I look forward to seeing it!!

Congrats Rhondahonda for being the first to post after Rossalicious!

MEK~ 1st foad.. want a ciggy? LOL

SacBarb & JennJen~ Welcome again... group hug!

Barb-in-Wa~ Welcome mat is out... but there is so much smoke here from the wildfires that I feel as if I'm in a Stevie Nicks video! They've evacuated about 300 in the next county over (hubby works there) so I'd appreciate anyone starting a rain dance:)

Hello Bee Lady!

And now I shall sing~~~

Holly came from Miami f.l.a.
Hitch-hiked her way across the u.s.a.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was a she
She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

Hi Ross:I'm glad you dropped in. My stress level just dropped waaayyy down!
Holly: Hope your poochie gets better.
Deb: I'm at my plateau right now. I need a boost over the "hump" LOL
Mom_Ross.: I lost my Mom many years ago. When you pop in I Get goose bumps. How lucky Ross is to have such a sweetie for a Mom.

Hello!!

I come to this community because I am safe here (and cause ross is hilarious and sweet). Let us keep it safe.

As a college student away from my parents I always have people to look to. Some of us have had our differences, but we have worked them out and moved on. this is a family built on love and trust of people with interests alike. The fact that we have all banded together as a support group in weight loss proves that we can overcome obstacles in our life...

Climb On my Friends Climb on

Let none discourage and all Inspire.

Love you all!!
Krick

ok, ok, i am TOTALLY getting the heeBEE geeBEEs listening to all this talk about BEES. LMAO the closest i want to get to a bee is some honey on my biscuit. and by biscuit, i mean the flour & water kind, not our beloved HUMAN Biscuit. LMAO

Okay Gym Rat, Today I asked the receptionist at the gym to have someone call me for an appointment to have my fat measured. I guess they'll want to weigh me too... Oh my gosh, I NEVER thought it'd come to this, I've been inspired to the point of accountability.
Does this mean I'll have to buy a scale?

Amen to Daniel and Kristen! Good comments team!

Pamela: My suggestion is that you do not buy a scale....everyday we gain/lose weight and it can be discouraging. I suggest that you weigh yourself once a week either at the gym or at a friends house and you DO NOT weigh yourself in between and use that weekly weight as a guide (do it on the same day and wear the same clothes haha)

Bradley: I almost forgot! Glad your feeling better. We all missed you! You should wear something "distinctive" on Helen's show so we can see who you are.

Thanks sthrngrl and Pamela! I feel so welcome!

Thanks Gym Rat:)
I joined for the Yoga but I'm hoping to catch the fever:)

Wildfire update: Within 30 miles. The News people just said it's 35% contained, which I interrupt as 65% out of control. I've done all I can do to prepare for hurricanes, they never said a word about wildfires!

Bradley~ I double dog dare ya to wear that little "pleather" number on Ellen! I bet we could find you in ANY audience with that on.

JAC~ I am doing great! No cravings yet, though last night I realized I am a PM eater. I force myself to eat in the morning and then feel hungry at night. Hmmmm... oh well. The only thing I have really looked at with tempt is peanut butter. I know that I can have some after the 9 days though, so it's all good.

I added you to my myspace Pamela!

35% is not bad at all keep your head up and pray

Hey all...just cooling off from my little walk. It's great living in such a podunk town where everything is within walking distance. My son loves riding in the stroller so, gets me off my duffer.

Pamela-best advice for weight loss, is exactly what gymrat said. Only weigh yourself once a week. Otherwise you get frusterated as the scale varies from day to day. Always use the same scale.

Another piece of advice from myself-is that you should take measurements of your arm, hips, waist and thigh, and check them monthly. Often when we don't see the numbers on the scale we are toning, and losing inches.

Keep up the Great Work Git Fitters:)

**J**

Excuse me, could you please pass the grey poupon?

Rut Rho, Scrappy has a game today.........with us luck!!!!

Glynis...

Are you pregnant??? What's this about cravings??

Thanks ya'll:)
Barb-in-WA was so kind as to put together MySpace for me. I don't know how to invite you as friends but I'd love it if you stopped by and invited me to your:)

Scrappy~~~~~> here ya go!

I have never ever been stung by anything so now I am afraid of getting stung. So, do I just stay still? Does perfume really attract the bees? I would rather not run screaming around my own front yard if it isn't necessary. The neighbors tend to wonder.

Ross, Id' like to buy a consonant, S please:)

Amen to that Pinky!! I try hard to grasp the bee thing because Hym is so patient and dedicated to it- but it is a phobia I can not pass.

Scrappysmom- With us luck? Shouldn't that be wish.

hehehehehe

Bradley- Glad you are feeling better.....HUN!!

Bloggers who are trying to loose weight- Take a before picture of yourselves. As you keep dieting take more photos of yourselves to see the difference. Trust me it helps!!

Whabby - I also did not refer to Ross at Thurston, BUT, I do know that Charles, the golfer REALLY DISLIKES to be refered to as Thurston - witnessed it first hand at the Match Play - we all thought it was pretty funny!!

BUT, Ross was sure handsome in his southern gent suit!!

Right on Poz-I did that too...you name it I have probably tried it on the dieting front. It's unbelievable was as little as 10lbs can make.

R
to the
OSS
to the
A-L-I-C-I-O-U-S.

This shit is bananas.
B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

lol,

Disclaimer: Not to give the impression that I think Ross is delicious--hil-a-freakin-arious but not delicious :):):)

The bast cure for cravings....because admit it...we all have them...salty, chocolate, whatever your vice may be. I now bring carrots and celery with me to work to stop me from going back to the vending machine. It took a bit to get used to it, but it helps. That and mini bags of 94% FF microwave popcorn.

We enjoy snacking on Edemame.(soybeans)
I buy it frozen (shelled) and pop it into the microwave w/ 3Tbs water. Cook for 3 minutes (rest for 2min)then lightly salt and eat. My doggy Polly loves them too:)

lisa newly wed
there are scents that attract wasps and bees.
think about it; the scent on a flower is there to attract pollinators such as bees and wasps. They use flowers to make perfumes. they will come looking for a food source.
Fruit scented anything is going to attract wasps but not bees. Also sweet drinks will attract wasps.

I have stated many times, I do not use perfume and I use everything unscented.
Hair products are a big problem because the children's products are fruit scented which attracts wasps. Better to use adult or baby shampoo.

Goldie you have many great big burly, really tough men who are also quite afraid of any stinging insect, you have a lot of company in your phobia.
I know NYC cops that would go up against any danger or threat, except bees.

Oh, plus it's a high fiber, low carb snake.. snack!

Let's hit 350 before Ross gets here:)

HELLO!!!
Ok, trish, joey, glynis, all the "old balls" people from the torino blog-I've missed you!
trish-I loved your post about the drama, and agree fully. it was a part of why I left the blog almost a year ago. (mostly because I was reading the blog instead of doing homework, but the drama had an impact on my leaving) so I'm sad to see this much when I'm trying to inch my way back into ross blog life.
I won't have time to read everything, otherwise I'll be doing this instead of homework again and I'm THISCLOSE to being done with college finally. so just to say it up front: I'm skimming for my name, or the names of the people I remember. I'd love to read everything! but I just can't :( but trust me, I'd MUCH rather read ross blog stuff than Plato.
So I'm glad to see so many of you that I remember still around! and I will make an effort to stop in every couple days (the days I don't have class mostly) as a reward for getting stuff done. baby steps.
also-I want in no way this to be construed as my getting in on the drama. I'm not, and I won't.
but I just saw the video post-ross's blogs have come so far from torino days!!! I'm so proud! and it's most of why I'm posting now.
I've missed you guys!

Hidy-hoo Hy!
I just came back in from taking pictures of bees... I'll share them in a sec.. got to download..

Hi Kathy in MI, I'm really working on 350!

OMG! McAimee, NO WAY am I having another child. As I told Berry,once we started having litters I am DONE!

Twins are supposedly a fluke of nature, but considering that identical twins (which I already have) are considered a fluke, I am not gambling to see if I have twins twice.'

YIKES! The thought of being pregnant... makes me want to go eat something.

The cravings are because I am on the 9 day detox part of the CFC diet.

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH.... running to Tracey's corner to sit with her blankie.

MEK and KFC: I called you out because of your interest in golf!

I think we should write Charles and ask him to substitute "THURSTON" for "FORE" when he hits an errant ball. Don't you think that's a great idea?

Bradley: :) Hey, doll!

LOL@ReeDaniel! Remember, everybody, the poor guy is straight. Awfully nice, though!

Scrappy: I assume that was for Annie? LOL!

baaa haaa haa@ Glynis!!

did you get 350 I think you did wooo hooo

Hey, Kathy in MI! Nice to meet you!

Welcome Back Kathy!!!

Oh my gosh, Ross. Your pics are freakin adorable! You look so dapper in your Derby suit! I love it. It looks like you had a blast. I'm so glad. Congrats on your winnings, you big gambler! Great job!

Oh my gosh, I LOVED Felicity! It is one of my all-time fave shows. That's so cool that you ran into "Ben" and "Sean"!

Oh my, you got your pic taken with Apolo Ohno, and you don't have the pic? Ahhhhh! I adore him. He is totally my fave on DWTS this season.

Can't wait to see your segment on TTS this week, Ross. Have a great week!

Ross you look great after the weight loss, not that you needed it. You were just as cute before. You look great in the Derby pics. Great outfit.

I have to say, I saw Ross in person at the Derby and he looked amazing! So handsome in the suit, hat and bow tie - it takes a real man o wear a pink bow tie!!!

HOTTIE!

I had not seen the show in quite a while and I was amazed at how much hotter you look now.

So dashing in the white suit, hat, and bowtie!!
