Default DickY a media celebrity

Did you all (or, at least those south of CR466) see DickY in this morning's Mix?

The only reason for him being in the police blotter, Gene, would be for associating with you!!!

Default Dicky is liked by everyone who knows him!

Dicky was in the news? He certainly is not a trouble maker. Wonder what he's been up too. Come on and link us or tell us. Did you link and I missed it?

Default What's the Mix?

For those of us who don't yet live in TV, what is the Mix and why was Dicky in it?

I can't access the Mix here in Canada. Can someone post a link to DickY's story or picture or police report?

I always wondered how the Villager of the Day was picked. Villages07 (who knows everything) would know that. She had that honour!

The mix is a supplement to the Daily Sun, published on Saturday; one for N of 466, one for S (arrrghhh, don't understand why they have to be separate); it's kind of an 'around the neighborhoods' publication with lots of pictures, rehash of events, etc. all feed good stuff.

In one segment they ask a bunch of people a question...this is where our friend DickY appeared. They asked what you would want to come back as in the next life. DickY answered.... "as a dog" .... since we know what a good life his Katrina lives!!! One guy did answer that he wanted to be a love bug.... hmmmm, short life span but very, very happy.

Villager of the Day is a random thing....reporter walks up to you at the square or an event and asks if you want to be "it" (just like tag); you fill out a form, he takes a picture, and voila, instant celebrity. Oh yeah, and a free trip to Hawaii too (just kidding).

The person who asked the question and took the picture just happens to be my across the street neighbor who is a Daily Sun journalist. Of course I ment a Villagers dog. The Villages Florida

Yeah, DickY, but which Villager's dog? Whose dog's life would you want yours to be like?

Boomer (I am supposed to be outside working in my flowers and not in here trying to cause trouble. -- Sorry DickY, but I could not resist. Congratulations on the new celeb status. Have the groupies arrived yet?)

Congratulations DickY on being a celebrity.

Hope the paparazzi don't become too much on an annoyance
