[Jan Wesner]

Welcome everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend - Mark and I and the kids went down to Ft. Myers to visit my sister and brother-in-law who are there for a week. Bonus: They took the kids to their condo for the night, while Mark and I got to stay in a hotel room by ourselves.

That was a total surprise to us, and we took advantage of it by going to the hotel tiki bar!

[jackie]

Kansas? …Kansas? What the bleep is in Kansas? I know the Big Ball of Twine- wasn’t that on National Lampoon’s Family Vacation?

Well…..welcome to quiet rural life, where everybody knows your name and the place is still the same (Cheers theme song??)

I’m off to relax and catch up on a few tivo-ed shows. I’ll check back with you later.

[Jackie]

HI Jan- Just saw you were on.

[Jackie]

Tiki Bar- nice! A hotel room by yourselves....nicer!

[mauimere]

Hi - anyone here?

[mauimere]

Jan - it sounds like a great weekend! I hope you and Mark had some time to connect, wink, wink!

[Jan Wesner]

Hey Jackie - That's my question, too - what the bleep is in Kansas?!?! To answer, Ft. Riley is in Kansas ...

[Jan Wesner]

Hey maiumere - yes, wink-wink!

[mauimere]

GI JOe is home!

[Jan Wesner]

So Chase knew nothing about the stalker? I don't get it ... how long was this going on and he had no idea?

[BabyGirl]

Hi ya'll. Pamela and Chase's greeting was TOTALLY me and DF when he came home this summer.

[mauimere]

Babygirl HI!

[Jan Wesner]

I wonder if this will make Chase have some sort of career-changing moment where he decides he can't be away so much anymore.

[BabyGirl]

Hi Mauimere!!!!

[Jan Wesner]

Hi BabyGirl! How was everybody's weekend?

[mauimere]

uh oh cyber romance brewing

[mauimere]

Did you hear Rumor Willis is joining the show...now if they could just get Ashton Kutcher!

[mauimere]

DRINK!!!

[Jan Wesner]

DRINK!!!!

[BabyGirl]

DRINK ya'll!!! Dang she started early tonight! Hehehe.

[Jan Wesner]

Mauimere - oh yea, that would be yummy!

[mauimere]

OK Trevor you're off the pills, let's have some wine!

[BabyGirl]

I'm glad that Trevor is getting help... and I'm REALLY glad that Roxie is being major supportive.

Oh oh... Roxie definitely brisled at that one...

[Tiff]

hi! this is my first foray into this livechat though I've been a lurker for a little while.

[mauimere]

We should all meet for a getaway...do you think I could figure out life there???

[BabyGirl]

Hi Tiff... just jump right on in.

[mauimere]

Hi Tiff - Welcome!

[Jan Wesner]

Hi Tiff! Welcome!

[BabyGirl]

Ohh this should be an interesting conversation...

[Theresa M.]

Hey everyone! Just put the kid to bed, what'd I miss?

[mauimere]

Would Frank be ok with that? What the...???

[Jan Wesner]

mauimere - I'm so there ... on both a getaway and trying to figure out life!

[mauimere]

Pole dancing! I love it - they should all get implants too!

[BabyGirl]

Yep, I thought the same thing mauimere...

Ohhh, I like the idea of Army Wives Gives Back!

[Tiff]

Thanks BabyGirl. I guess my backstory: my boyfriend is former active duty special forces E6, now currently a reserve SF soldier while getting his degree. I work in strategic consulting.

[Jan Wesner]

Tiff - be sure and hit refresh to see the latest comments.

Hey, Theresa!

[mauimere]

When we were in Vegas a couple weeks ago my dh almost signed me up for a pole dancing class! I said "OK but what do we say when the neighbors wonder why we have a pole in our bedroom!"

[Tiff]

Ah, Thanks Jan. And thanks everybody for the welcome.

[Theresa M.]

I've been reading Lifetime's message board about this show, and why does everyone hope that Denise and Frank don't get back together?

I kind of like Frank and his neanderthal ways. I'm all about women's lib, but should she expect him to just change overnight?

[Jan Wesner]

TIff - where did he serve? Mark is SF, been in 1st Group in Okinawa and 10th Group in Germany.

Theresa M - A new wife arrived, who is a lawyer and has no kids. Trevor went to his first rehab meeting. CJ let it slip to Michael that Denise kissed the doctor. Chase came home.

[Tiff]

I took Aerobic Strip Tease at my gym when I lived in NY. I have a new found respect for strippers. It is one hard workout!

[mauimere]

Tiff, you're my kind of gal!

Hey we should all meet in vegas some time for a girls getaway!

[Jan Wesner]

Frank has definitely grown on me this season.

mauimere - If they asked about the pole, I'd just look at them and smile!

[BabyGirl]

Nice 3 second recap there Jan!

Awww, Sarah is ADORABLE!

[Theresa M.]

Thank God Joan doesn't ALREADY have her pre-baby body back!!!

[mauimere]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Nana to the rescue!

[Tiff]

He served with 5th group in Campbell and now 20th group. He was an X-Ray.

[Jan Wesner]

Vegas! Oh yea, baby!

[BabyGirl]

"If I hadn't delivered her myself, I'd swear that somebody mailed her to me!" That's funny!

[BabyGirl]

Ohhh, nice comment there Roland.

[BabyGirl]

DRINK!

I swear that's MY mother-in-law!!!

[Tiff]

I'm about to turn 27 so I know that I should be more mature than this, but babies kind of freak me out!

[mauimere]

DRINK!

[Jan Wesner]

Poor Roland, feeling left out ... I'm still waiting for that scene where they try to sign up for daycare ..

And ... DRINK!!!

[BabyGirl]

Speaking of drinking... what's everybody got tonight?

[mauimere]

DRINK AGAIN!

[mauimere]

Mike's hard cranberry here

[BabyGirl]

DRINK!!!

[mauimere]

DRINK! I love this episode!!!

[Jan Wesner]

Tiff - I don't really like any body's babies except mine!

DRINK! Wow, this is a real bonanza of FRG this week!

[BabyGirl]

Ohhh that sounds good mauimere! I'm nursing a Bahama Mama wine cooler.

[mauimere]

COL Conner - that's funny for some reason

[Jan Wesner]

I was going to abstain tonight (due to the excessive margaritas I consumed last night) but I just opened a Bud Light.

[BabyGirl]

Ohhh, vulnerable Trevor! If we didn't love him enough already...

Yep! That's my M-I-L!!

[BabyGirl]

Okay, I'm crying. DF has said "It's okay BabyGirl." SO many times to me...

I don't like Mama Burton! She's overpowering and awful!

[mauimere]

MIne TOO!

[Jan Wesner]

So does this mean Roland is going to be Mr. Mom?

[mauimere]

poor Roland.

[BabyGirl]

Who was the blind post?

[mauimere]

My that is a very organized group

[mauimere]

DRINK!

[BabyGirl]

Since I've never been to an FRG meeting... is it like that normally?

[Jan Wesner]

uh oh

Hahaha. Hot Army Wives Calendar....like that would REALLY be approved by the Commander!

[mauimere]

oooooo I see a cat fight coming on!

DRINK!

[BabyGirl]

Uh oh, there's gonna be a total power struggle between new wife and Claudia Joy!

[Tiff]

Didn't an Army wife get into trouble for that type of calendar in Germany?

[Jan Wesner]

BabyGirl - I've never been to a "traditional" FRG meeting like this. SF is much different than the "real" Army.

Well....there are always the "Good idea Fairies" type.

[mauimere]

A Real Army wife - like it is something unusual....I'm here, pick me!

[BabyGirl]

Yes yes yes! How many cookies did I bake for my DF while he was deployed? I LOVED doing it. It was so theraputic for me.

[Jan Wesner]

OK, this is making me cry!

[BabyGirl]

Me too Jan, me too...

[mauimere]

Where's my basket???

[Tiff]

This is making me cry. It makes me so sad that both times that the BF returned from Iraq it was in middle of the night and no one was there. He tells me that this is normal for SF (except for the soldiers with wives and stuff). (is that true Jan?)

Jan - I cried too...but I'm a sap. The episode Oprah did at Fort Campbell....I cried my eyes out!

[Jan Wesner]

I am about to be thrown back into the real Army at Ft. Riley, though. After being away from it for 15 years, ever since Mark went SF ...

He was in the Infantry for a couple of years before that, but that was my last experience with the Big Army or a big Army post ...

[Jan Wesner]

Tiff - yep, that's true. Typically with SF you drop them off at their office and pick them up there. No going to the airfield to see them off ... and it's not unusual for them to fly commercial on other deployments, at least back when Mark was in Oki and Germany.

Tiff - it is normal SF stuff. I was in shock when he first deployed with an SF unit. I was expecting the big fairwell, etc. I just dropped him off at the Bn...there were no families in sight. Then when he returned, I didn't even know he was coming home, and I was in Ky at my BFF's college graduation. He still brings it up to this day that he came home to the cat!

[mauimere]

DRINK! Lovin this episode

[BabyGirl]

UGH! I wish Denise would quit using the fact that she "got married young" as an excuse. I'm going to end up being married "young" and I'll have my own. It's getting on my nerves!

[Tiff]

lol one day i got an email asking me for my number again because he was back. the only warning i got was him telling me that he had to cut his hair and shave.

[Jan Wesner]

And then of course there are those occasional times where you drop them off at work and they don't come home!

Ok...I think it's one day and it looks like now Joan has lost 20 lbs. If she's skinny by the end of the episode, I'm going to be upset!!! LOL.

[mauimere]

Ouch that hurts Momma

[BabyGirl]

Ohhh, Mama Burton is slingin zingers left and right. Send her home already!!!

[mauimere]

Nice Job CJ

[Jan Wesner]

Where are they shopping? This looks like some kind of weird mall.
