Here's how it works Sourceville....It's another tag game, but its not a game. I'm going to call it DOG AND BUTTERFLY. Here's how it works...I'm going to be the dog, and I'm going to list 3 butterflies that I want to hug and why. Then if you are on the list, you do the same. You can name someone more than once. Its not going to be easy because I want to hug you all......LETS PLAY:
1)ROGER....you get one because you've always been my friend and make me laugh...but you get it because family is first and you know what I mean..good luck with what is happening, you know what I mean...Love ya bro. This hugs for you.
2)SHELLY...For the simple fact that your eating and breathing for two (small hug for Gary), mothers are on the top of my list for a HUG. I love my mom.
3)EVA...Same reason (small hug for Kevin)...I love kids, but there would be none of my little buddies, if it wasn't for awesome moms. Good health to all moms.
p.s...like I said, not easy, butI made my choices because of life and I could have been selfish...but I didn't..LOL to all Sourceville.
Okay, I’ll play – I LOVE to give hugs…but wish it was more than 3 at a time - he he!!
1. Sharon – I hug you because you are not only a wonderful friend, but you are a REAL person who has a big heart! You are also a dedicated and loving wife (small hug to Brian – the man!), as well as a terrific mother who demonstrates every day how to raise great kids (small hugs to Alisha and Josh – the best babysitters in the world!!). I feel lucky to have you in my life!!
2. Janet – I hug you because you are an inspiration. You are a hard working, talented, and dedicated woman who knows how to make anyone feel special!! You have always been very kind to me and my family and I value you as a friend. You have raised a very special and talented son (with the help of Rick-small hug for you)!! Thank you Garrett for the bums – Joey gets a lot of use out of them!!! (small hugs to Garrett too!)
3. Dr. Bob – I hug you because you are the master of these plots, which have brought us all closer. You, my friend, have a gigantic heart and always seem to sense when someone needs that special touch. There are not many people like you out there and you deserve a big hug!!! May you always be happy and loved!
Now this is my kinda game!!...Spreadin the love!!! And what a clever name for it Dr.Bob...Its perfect!
Picking 3 is hard so I'll just be looking forward to my next turn!!
I have a big hug for you Lisa cuz I always respected you even back in the early days. I knew even then how much you loved your brother and the lengths you'd go to protect him. Getting to know you again all these years later has been a joy and I think you're a special gal.
Donna I wanna hug you because I always thought you were a doll and you have a preciousness about you that makes me so glad that we are back in contact.
And Dr.Bob, you get a big hug cuz I feel I've known you all my life and in the short time that I've known you you've been so sweet and so cool to me.
I'll be serving up the next 3 hugs very soon but I'll give some others a turn first!! Hey Dr.Bob, at the end do we get a group hug??!! (not sure how we'd do that on line but I thought it would be fun to ask! lol)
Dr. Bob you know I wanna be your dog! Here are my butterflies...
Hug #1 is a group hug with my beautiful wife and children who make every day a gift. I am adding a back rub to Kim's hug with emphasis around the shoulder blades. I would like to follow this group hug with what I call the "family bounce" which occurs during that awesome PS ending to "Bring Me to Life".
Hug #2 goes to my sister because she rarely gets one from me. We joke about our hugs and usually laugh or mock it every time we actually do hug, but I think that's cool. In fact I'm sure she's chuckling about it right now.
Hug #3 is another group hug to the Power Source Army. This band has talent far beyond music being played and sang so incredibly well. Their freindship and respect for each other is the X-factor in every performance, and has captured the real spirit of friendship for all of us. You would have to search far and wide to find such a large group of friends who are so totally committed to enjoying good music and good times with each other.
...and no I didn't cheat cuz group hugs are totally allowed!!
Thanks for the hug Shelly, your a awesome friend, you are always there for me!
1~My first hug has to goes to Patty, you are a wonderful sis and good friend.
2~My second hug goes to Jim, you are like a bro to me,
a good friend and are always willing to help me out when needed, thanks!
3~My third hug goes to Gary, you, Shelly & Joey are like family to us, always caring and thoughtful.
To all of you, we have had so many good times together and have made lots of memories, I know in the coming year we will have many more!
Luv ya, ~Sharon~
1:a specialK hug to the Doc. your awesome bro! and all remaining hugs to my new an enlarged Power Source family and Eva is using all of hers for the PS-army you're what its all about luv ya's
Laura, a hug back to you for being so sweet and funny. Also, for bringing me on board. You are a good friend. Thank you.
Lt. Dan, a hug to you for being such a good sport. Even though we really don't even know each other, I feel like I've known you forever. Thank you.
Mrs. Russell, a big hug to you. We have not met yet but I look forward to that day. For giving us Bob and raising him into the fine man that he is today.
I can never thank you enough.
Only someone with a big heart could come up with an Idea like this. I haven't gotten one yet, but I want to give a big group hug to everyone on this site. You guys and girls are all great. LOVE YA ALL
My first hug goes to my Bro with a "Come here you big Lug" attached to it.
My second hug goes to Dean who has been a super friend to me for many many years. Weve watched each other grow up!! WE have pulled off alot of Cool Parties together and now graduated to Fund Raisers!! He will always be my very dear friend and we will watch each other grow old and help each other thru the ups and downs. We both thank God for our Don Dude and Tracey. Spent alot of time together as miserable single people so we didnt have to go to functions alone. Dean I love you man!!
My third hug goes to Janet. I think you are a First Class Lady with alot of heart!! You Rock!!!
My 4th hug..... what?.. I can only have three?... thats simply not enough. But I will follow the rules and just say that I have alot of very cool people in my life and that makes me a lucky girl!!
Yikes!!! This is next to impossible to name only three! Need more turns,that's for sure!!!
1. Hug to Mark - (and hug for mom!) You are an incredibly talented person - your artwork needs to marketed!!! And soon!!! It was so much fun to go the Fox this winter and see what the Boucher Boys do behind the scenes. I was totally floored by your stage passes. You have a very unique style and I love the colors that work with - YOU CAN DO SOMETHING WITH IT!!! I envision your work on concert handbills and posters. We need to find you an agent. I always wished that I could paint/draw/sketch, as you know, my brother is a fabulous artist but I can only do stick figures. Also, I love that you are always happy - and you are an awesome soundman. Oh, and you saved my life on a roadtrip (in the 80's.....sigh..) Thank you for not letting Perry throw that refridgerator on me when he was mad at me, it would have hurt if it would have hit me (oooo, bad memory....LOL). We'll address that little issue with the chicken powder some other time. Not funny then, but it is now (don't try it again!)
2. Lisa, Lisa, Lisa .... I've know you forever, but never got to know you very well until this fall. I am so impressed with you! I love you dearly - - you are a beatiful, bright, sensitive, intelligent (I know, I already said bright), vibrant woman. You totally rock and I am so glad that you are in my life. You set your mind on something and it gets done! YOU ROCK!!! I know that I can count on you for anything - my sista!
3. Kodge - man oh man - you are in the armed forces watching over us! I pray for you and our country every day. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL OF THE MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM!!!! Peace, my brother! BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG HUG!!!!
Correction on the hug to Mark - I meant to say itching powder, not chicken powder, LOL. I think itching powder is made of crushed chicken feather quills or something, I dunno. Useless bit of info, had to correct it. Just so you know, I'm not bitter -(yes, that's why I'm bringing it up again 25 years later!) Eeeekkkk!
Bye
Thank you Sharon, We feel the same about you and your awesome family!
My HUGS go to the following people who, for whatever reason, have helped redirect my life to the wonderful place that I am right now.
First Off (and because I can't tag Shelly back),
A special honorary group hug mention goes out to my fella's in The Delivery Boys Band. It was during this time that I met Shelly. I could have blown it if it weren’t for some help from these guys. They know what I mean. Thanks guys!
1. Brian Boucher - A great big BEAR hug for my main man. It's because of Bri that Power Source is alive and kicking. He single-handedly assembled us into his basement to resurrect what's now an Army of Musical Love.
2. John Edwards – A hug to the guy who has been there for me for almost 40 years. Yep, we've been through it all and we STILL get on each other’s nerves. I love ya bro!
3. Bud Clark – Gotta pass along a hug to Buddy. He’s a great husband, dad, friend and just an all-around great person who has contributed greatly to what Power Source was then and certainly is now. Thanks Bud for turning 40 so we could finally play again, hehe.
So many more to mention but I’ll leave that for someone else!
WOW.......I GOT A HUG....WOOOHOOO
ya know.....I dont know how you folks can pick only 3
I've been comming here such a short time and I cant do it. All of you have made me feel so welcome. Like I've been with all of you forever....thanx
1-((( Dean,)))((( Brian,)))((( Janet)))) all 3 because when I first asked where the power source recruiting station was all 3 told me exactly the same thing
........"YOUR IN".....THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH
2- (((((((BUD))))))))))
Just because your one of the most loving , caring people I have EVER met. Yer one in a million.
3- ((((((((DONNA)))))))) ANYONE WHO CAN CARRY ME AROUND ALL THIS TIME WITHOUT COMPLAINING IS AN ANGEL. I feel the same about you Donna... like we have been friends for years.
sory but I have to put this in((((DR.BOB)))))
for being you.
(((((((((((((SOURCEVILLE)))))))))))
Thanks Janet For the Big Hug. But nothing compares to the hug I got from you tonight at practice. You just can't beat the real thing.
You guys sounded great tonight. can't wait till this weekend. Everyone is so geeked about playing, I can tell. I'm pretty geeked Myself.
Janet, sorry about the itching powder. but the expression on your face was priceless. wish I had a camera. Its pretty funny stuff as long as your not on the recieving end. Once again. Sorry Sis, but I just couldn't help myself
(1) the first person I want to give a hug to has to be my MOM. for whom none of this would be possible. No Brian ,No Dean, No Me, but worst of all no Power Source. If it wasn't for My Mom and Dad letting them practice everyday in the basement , they wouldn't be who they are today. Everyone who knows Ma, Loves her, And its an honor to be the one who looks after her now.
(2)The next hug has to go to all my brother's Brent, Brian and Dean who have always been there for me when I needed them. I love my Bro's and wouldn't trade any one of them for anything in the world.
(3)The third hug has to go to Gary. He's the one who put this web site togather and kept it going. for which I am really grateful. It has given me many hours of injoyment and entertainment. Its made me laugh so many times I can't count them all. Its also give me the oppertunity to get to know a lot of people and get back in touch with people that I haven't seen or heard from in years. Thanks Gary For an Awesome job.
I know I'm only suposed to give out 3 hugs but I'm going to break the rules a little bit and give out one little one for Dr Bob. who has been a good friend of the family for many years, I didn't know you were such a talented writer though. Suprise, suprise, Suprise. Thanks Bob for being who you are
This is my favorite game by far but it's hard to give just three hugs. How great is that, too many hugs to go around!!
First, a hug to all the members of Power Source and their families. Such awesome talent and personalities. You've given us so much joy. Special thanks to Sharon, Shelly and Janet for making me feel at ease when I needed it most. Thank you.
Second, the saying goes ~ without your health you have nothing. While I don't disagree with that I will take it one step further. Without HOPE, you really have nothing. So this hug goes to my Neuroligist, Dr. Daniel Singer. The first person to give me hope in years. What a gift that was.
Thank you.
Third, this hug is for the people I love and for some crazy reason, love me back. For believing in me, giving me courage and giving me a reason to fight. Never let a chance go to let someone know what they mean to you. Life is short, unfair and brutal at times but it's also what you make of it. Make the best of what you have and be grateful for it.
My love to all of you, xoxo
P.S. ~ Lt.Dan, Hope you be Chatters Saturdat night and will save one dance for me.
OK...OK.....time to change the rules:
Here are the rules, imagine me talking about rules...too funny. Anyway, hug as many times as you feel necessary.....I'll start:
I want to hug the guy at the gas station, he never smiles and probably could use one.
Then I want to hug my uncle's neighbors barbers milkmans dentist...just because.
I love the new rules!! This I can work with. And I AM a hugger!!
These first hugs go to my hubby Steve who's my bestest friend, protector, provider, and lover in the whole world. I cant imagine my life without him!
Also to my friend Debbi who uprooted her life in CA to move to this strange new land with me, and all my friends and family in CA I left there!
Now to PS friends I send a hug to:
Roger cuz we've enjoyed such good conversation and he's still out there protecting our country!
Jim cuz he said something special to me that I'll never forget!!
Monica cuz she made me feel good about bustin my ass at the bar AND she hooked me up with hairdude.
Sharon cuz she came thru for me when I needed her to hear me out about some things. And to Brian for being her sweetheart.
Janet cuz I think she's a cutie patootie and I admire her talent (and shes close friends with Voluptua who I happen to adore!)
Dean and Tracy cuz Dean always gives me a big ol smooch when I see him and Tracy has always been sweet to me from day 1.
Gary cuz I gotta suck up to him so that he'll play our reunion. (JUST KIDDING!) A hug goes to you and Shelly cuz you guys are too cute and so fun to be around!
Kevin cuz you hooked me up with a cd and you called to make sure my pipes wouldnt freeze and even offered to move furnature for me to get to the water thingy. AND for wanting to work with Steve!! (I know you guys will get around to it eventually)
Lt.Dan cuz you are such tender dear man.
Buddy cuz we go back quite a wayz.
Thats all for now cuz Dr.Phil is on!! But in the famous words of A-nold..."I'll be back!" with more love sweet love!!!!
I love mushy stuff! I send a hug to each and every one of you. There was a time when I no longer listened to music (only talk radio - yuck!) but now I can't get enough music! It's because of all of you, I have a song in my heart a again. First, my band-mates (and band-mate-ettes), thanks for taking me in even though I forgot how to sing and play and putting up with my learning curve. And friends of the band, I felt the love the first time we played out after 20 something years. I would never ask to go back in time, I am exactly where I want to be right now - with each and everyone of you. You are all family to me! Old friends and newbies alike!
Janet, Now you did it, People are going to be asking all about the chicken powder thing ,,, oops itching powder. Maybe we'll have to tell them someday. It is kinda funny Now , 25 years later.
Yea c'mon...Tell us!!! I wanna hear about it!! Did you slip Janet some itching powder Uncle Milty??? You know this is sounding very familiar....This very thing happened YOU KNOW WHERE...Thats Right!! On the BRADY BUNCH!!! When Marsha had her pajama party (and almost didn't get to have it cuz she drew that funky picture of George Washington that looked like her teacher and that naughty girl wrote the teachers name on it and got her in lots and lots of big big trouble...Remember???)the boys put good ol itching powder in the girls sleeping bag! I start itching just thinking about it!!! Is that what happened to you Janet?????
Laura~ from what I heard about it he put it in her underware just before she went on stage to do a gig.
Janet~ I don't think I would ever forgive him for that!
Mark~ you are a bad man for that!
Oh my gosh...LMAO I'm sitting here at my computer just howling. Is that true?? LOL I'll bet you had some new moves on stage that nite didnt ya Janet!!! I think Uncle Milty beat out Greg, Bobby, and Peter on that one for sure!!!
You are right Janet...everyone gets a puppy and says..."Oh, how cute."..
But if you get a sick puppy, what do you call him when he grow's up???? Happy B-Day Mark.
No, No, No. It wasn't in her undies and it wasn't before a gig. It was in her after gig pants. I wouldn't do that to anyone and expect them to try to perform. That would not be cool at all. I'm not that much of a DOG. (Woof) I think it was in Grand Rapids, and it was the last night of 5 night run, I think
I went back into the dressing room between sets, thinking of getting someone, and Janet's drawers just happened to be the ones I saw first. Sorry Janet. I didn't pick you out on purpous,
I'm not the only one who's used Itching poweder on people though, Right Brian
Just so you know....I'm in no mood for hugs today. I am going to hate this country...let me rephrase that....I'm going to hate this government if I find out that girl hostage was killed today. I watched the news all morning and no mention...censorship at its finest. They showed her on TV nonstop....see what the terrorist are like (dumb americans, go take your dog for a walk),...deadline has passed,no news and I've had enough. FREE COUNTRY MY ASS. Get in line everybody, single file.....BS...we have brains, lets use them for once!!!!! NO SELFISHNESS IN MY WORLD...damn Americans...oh by the way GO BLUE. KMA.
I'm in such a good mood....yes indeed. I tried to post something to get a reaction...not. Its Friday, no training, Power Source is playing...who couldn't be in a good mood. Hoot Gow Me mashie....I'm in such a good mood....who wants a hug???? I'm in a good mood.....I'm in a good mood....I'm in a good mood...na-na-na-na-na. As Rod Steward said...
Tonights the night
It’s gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain’t nobody gonna stop us now
Lets Rock-n-roll my friends...I'm in a good mood...I'm in a good mood. See ya all at Chatters.
Okay... this is a great big huge HUG for my very close friend Andrea. Your a Great person and a Terrific Mom!! Ive watched you closely and you are the type of parent that uses alot of love in your parenting and it shows.
Always remember.....
Paris is Cool but Holland aint so bad either!! ( a inside analogy only her and I understand!!)
Hey Dr. Bob,
I dont recall if I mentioned on the site that my husband Steve works for her uncle (Jill Carroll - hostage). So we've been getting info before the media does although I don't know anything about where things are at right now either. The family is on their way to washington and Steve's running the shop. The family has been very calm and collected and they are very sharp and are doing everything in their power of course to deal with this. Steve is trying to be as comforting and encouraging as possible and has been trying to carry as much of the work load as he can to free up the owner (uncle). So I'm on pins and needles waiting to see whats gonna happen too Bob. I hope you'll be at Chatters tomorrow nite (sat) too wontcha???
Pui, Of course you got a hug. You know how I feel about you!!!!! So hug me back already biach!!
Wow! I have been off the board lately cause I have alot going on right now. Just saw my hug from my girl Lisa. All choked up now,.... Thanks girl! At least you know I ALWAYS have some ClearEyes!! Hmmmmm
So let's see, I have some hugs to give out, so,...
A big one back at ya Lisa (and a sloppy girl kiss too LOL) You've been a friend forever and you will be to the end! This weekend is going to be a blast up north!! I am so glad we never lost our connection. I even think it is much stronger now! Luv ya girl!!
Group hug to the band! They have brought so many people together, both old friends and new, and it feels great to be a part of this big extended family! You guys and girl (luv ya Janet) ROCK!!!
A hug to Laura in return. You're a cool chick! You should give me a call sometime. I bet we have a lot more in common.
Dean and Tracy~ Dean I have known you for many a year! Dick Clark ain't got nothing on you baby! You just don't change, what the hell is your secret? LOL
Probably that awesome lady of yours! Tracy you are sooo cool. Congrats on the new job and car!!
Sharon, a hug to you despite that picture of me that you posted LOL You are a bunch of fun to hang out with. I had so much fun with you on Friday night. Especially on the breaks!
Patty, I am glad we finally officially met. You're an awesome chick. Call me anytime! We WILL get together for sure!
Who could forget a hug for the dear Dr.? This was a cool post to get started!
Donna a hug for you too girl! You are very sweet and I am glad we finally got to spend a little time together. You seem like alot of fun!
Oh crap! I have to get to work, more later
The lovefest will continue!
Thanks for the hug Andrea! You are a sweet girl, I like hanging w/ you and Lisa! I think it was Saturday not Friday you where there!
We are gonna have to plan a girls night out, I know Patty will be into it! Just let us know, we would all have a blast together!!!
Sharon, one condition. NO camera and no reporting back, lol.
Andrea, thanks so much for the hug. Everyone I've met in this "group" have been so sweet, cool and just plain fun to be with.
Sharon, I was a diehard that was there both nights! I was with Annie and Lisa on Friday and came solo (well, w/Buddy) on Saturday! Just can't get enough of that band!!
You know what?? I never did have that housewarming party yet, and well after being in the house 4 months now, a housewarming party would seem a little odd. So,... Lisa, Annie and I were talking about having a luau! We'll all get leid! It will be a blast!!
I am also thinking a girls night would be good too!! Let's make a plan!! I'll get a post put up for all us chickipoos!!
