"Years on years they worked their way through the high meadows and mountain drainages, horse-packing into the Big Horns, Medicine Bows, south end of the Gallatins, Absarokas, Granites, Owl Creeks, the Bridger-Teton Range, the Freezeouts and the Shirleys, Ferrises and the Rattlesnakes, Salt River Range, into the Wind Rivers over and again, the Sierra Madres, Gros Ventres, the Washakies, Laramies, but never returning to Brokeback."  [story]

Jack was like a yo-yo, going from Texas to Wyoming, and Wyoming to Texas.

Where's Will-U? We're waiting....

Where's Will-U?

Sandy and I believe that we should temporarily suspend the ABCs of BBM game until Will is available to make the official 200th round announcement.

So, let's wait to hear from Will, our esteemed mayor, the person who makes this ABCs game possible, both out front of and behind the scenes.

Agreed?!!!!!

Fran, Sandy and Ann Marie

ABC's of BBM =milestone= Round 200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Where's Will-U?"........ Will & Dre and millions of others were out in the brutal East Coast / NorthEast 5-day "Heat Wave"!  Guess what song we heard on the radio system at the bank in Manhattan?  "Heat Wave" by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas!!!  U go, Gyrlz!

200 Roundz of the "ABCs of Brokeback Mountain"
Once back home, Dre read an e-mail from an ABCs player 4 me 2 go 2 the ABCs Board asap 4 a surprise!  Indeed, what a surprise!  U all thoughtfully and respectfully "suspended" the ABCs game for me!  This was only the second time for that; the first time was by me for 100 rounds!  I do appreciate the appreciation.  U bet!  ;D

200 Roundz of the "ABCs of Brokeback Mountain"
I presumed that the "surprise" was that the BetterMost Administrator(s) finally restored Will-ABC as an "official" moderator.  It was first requested exactly one month ago on July 2 when Ann Marie & I were switching Mod positions just as we planned.  Trust me, that was the deal!  We know; we made it.  Re: the #1 ABCs of BBM", most people know that U can't argue with success!  That's been my experience until this ungrateful situation, of which many people are familiar.  Likewise, they have received no response from the Administrator(s).  :(   

200 Roundz of the "ABCs of Brokeback Mountain"
Success is exactly what the "ABCs of BBM" has brought here to BetterMost: #1 in views, #1 in posts, #1 in pages and #1 in participants.  The "ABCs Players" list (see the separate file) is like a "Who's Who" at BM.  I'm most proud that the "ABCs of BBM" are #1 in quality posts.  I prefer quality to quantity -- though we have that too!!  Unlike anywhere else on any board, U wont find any non-sense posts (e.g., what did U eat for breakfast this morning Harry, or Sally broke a fingernail, boo! hoo!) at the ABCs!  Let's give a lot of credit where credit is due namely the current ABCs Modz Fran & Sandy and formerly Ann Marie -- and ALL of the ABCs Playerz!!  I've overseen and guided the game since reply #1 and it really is an internet marvel.  :)

Mrs. Twist, while being full of good character, also possessed a great deal of aplomb.
Def: poise



Congratulations to everyone associated with this game. You should all be proud. Personal thanks to Sandy and Fran  :D  ;)

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.
