Didn't know you could do "the bump" great dance!

Not only a great "dance", but a great song as well! Here we go...1976 and the term PC was not yet known.

I just love this thread! It really shows the power of "Elvis" and true "Friendship".
I love that dance "the bump". I had forgotten all about it! Remember doing that dance in the 70s!

Hey Rosanne and Gail, you guys soon have an anniversary! Imagine all the things you have done in the last year! Two trips to Graceland and many, many talks! I bet in this year you have caught up on your 30 years lost! You are so blessed to have such a great friendship!

Oh my gosh! This day is etched in my heart forever. We started talking on the phone that night and never quit. We talked for hours on end. One day about a month later, my husband said to me "I haven't see you this happy in a long". And, it was true, my life was missing something but I really never knew it until she came back into it. Now, she's out of it again and I'm just sitting here crying my eyes wondering why did he put her back into my life to only take her out again? Can someone please tell me WHY??????

Have faith. Some things aren't meant to be understood in this world.

Thanks Diane! Believe it or not...we are all ready looking at our calendars and The Peabody's calendar so that we can spend a weekend together in Memphis.
I can't wait!! What is so interesting is that after the night we re-connected on here we talked on the phone for 3 hours the next day...and it really was as though we had talked just last week. Gail is the type of person that if she is your friend, then she is really your friend forever!

Forever and ever Rosanne - I miss you terribly already.

I remember this thread like it was yesterday...even though, it wasn't so long ago.
It was one of the most touching stories I have ever read...

I'm thinking of you both Gail and Kim.
May God give you strength at this most difficult time.

Gail, this was thread was so much fun for me, you weren't as frequent a poster as Roseanne - who was? - and for the two of you to find each other - was so much fun for me! The wonderful thing about Roseanne, she was such a loyal friend, so quick to cover our backs when she felt one of us was being attacked, so quick to point out when we were just too full of ourselves, and I also remember a few threads where we teased you about your fabulous Texas up-do back in the day! I know you're in pain, I didn't know her personally, but Roseanne was one of those special people that reached beyond cyberspace! She touched my life, I'm just now able to express myself without breaking down in the middle of it all, and I must back away as tears fall on my keyboard.
Love to you, dear, hang in there,
thoughts & prayers, Lisa

I don't know what I was doing the first time around but I don't remember this. Regardless, it was wonderful to read now and of course, bittersweet. These are just my little words, Gail, and easy for me to say but it seems to me that this time you all shared for the last year and a half was such a wonderful gift. It is of course unspeakably tragic that it has ended, that Rosanne is no longer among us but...well, that's all I can say. I can't blame you for feeling the way that you do...We are all thankful that she was a part of this community and it is wonderful that you two had found each other here. I am sorry that I cannot think of more comforting things to say.

Oh My!!! I just found this post. And, you are so right! Those two little bitty posts were life changing for both of us. I just sat here and read it again. I'm gonna frame posts 17 and 18 for my Elvis room.

WOW - 4 years ago yesterday this thread came alive!! It now seems like it was 40 years ago. She came to visit me in a dream the day after my birthday. It was the best dream I have had in a very long time. There was a guy named Elvis in the dream too. Nothing but happy times in that dream I tell you for sure!!!

[Lonniebealestreet]

That's really neat, Gail. She is not forgotten. Hope you had a nice birthday.

[Diane]

I hope you had a nice birthday too Gail. Rosanne will always be with you and see you in your dreams.

[TotallyInsane]
