I followed the bread crumbs and found my way here! I don't care what room I have as long as I get an adult bed! The kiddie bed was no fun! ;)

[dolPhinlovEr83]

Hello to all!

Hopefully there's some room in the new house for me! I guess I get stuck with the kiddie bed though, huh? Sorry, Kstarfish82, you're no longer the youngest...hehe. I just hope our housemates don't make us share a room with bunkbeds! :lmao:

SharonG: I've been reading the previous thread and have seen that your son participated in the FIRST robotics competition. I am actually a coach for the FIRST Robotics team in the school I teach at over here in NY!! Our team is not nearly as big and this is only our 2nd year in it, but can't wait to hear about the competition your son participated in! Ours is not until March 27th-29th! Any tips??? LOL

Well, hello to all of the peeps in here, and I'm sure my sis is going to kill me for posting in here and invading "her territory," sorry sis! :flower3:

Welcome, now give us all the dirt on your sister before she kills you.

[AlexandNessa]

Good morning. I don't need a bed. I can sleep on the floor. And I vote for no hot water. Hot water is for sissies. And, I don't require any indoor plumbing. Just stick me in a corner and give me a place to post. :surfweb:

Janet, can you check this thread out when you get a chance? http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1749081

Thanks for checking in over there, Janet! I knew you had some kind of issue with your status, but I couldn't remember the specifics.

I suppose I am off to tan and then gym.

Brab, I was reading the instructions on my lotions, and they all say "apply immediately before tanning." Hmpph. I guess "immediately" really mean at least 15 minutes before tanning?

Good morning homies I see the new home is up and running,
Couldn't get on last night due to my cable service was working on the internet but atleast one good thing this weekend was that I have managed to cut my smoking in half and maybe if I keep going at this rate I can quit all together soon :cool1:

Baby steps, Lawrence. You can do it! There is a fine line between nagging and being supportive or being didactic and being supportive. Hope you're getting all the support you need. :goodvibes

Oh what the frick - I missed the moving van again....:mad: :headache:
This stuff is awfully heavy to be lugging around :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:


Happy Monday (not) -

I am off to the soggy basement to wet vac again - had water from the storm on Saturday :sad2:

I will check in a bit later......maybe even try to ketchup:confused3

on the plus side, we have more daylight and that makes me all happy inside :love: even happier that we are down to 50 days until vacation :yay:

Great job on cutting the smoking down Lawrence!!

I have cut down mine dramatically as well (until I am boozing http://bestsmileys.com/drinking/4.gif )

Be sure to put the $$ aside for vacation :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

Jodie -

How is Mike making out with the Chantix?

Even if he has cut down to next to nothing - its better than where he was before :thumbsup2

[ky07]

Thanks and yeah the DW is loving that I am trying to quit and is being very supportive :goodvibes

[AlexandNessa]

Thanks, Tracie. He is still crabby, but smoking much less. The true test will be this weekend when I am working and he is bored at home alone. Fingers are crossed and prayers are said daily. It's up to him and God now. :goodvibes

Its supposed to be nice this weekend - tell him to start walking to get ready for vacation or something :confused3 I know when I am outside and walking/gardening/whatever, :hippie: I have a tendency to smoke less.

forgot to mention, one of the commercials for seedy lawyers on tv ;) in our market is looking for peeps to sue re Chantix (sp) as to side effects? what's up with that?

I don't know, but Mike told me to watch out for signs of suicide ...at least that's what one of the seedy lawyers in these parts is looking for. I'll take the crabbiness for now. :goodvibes

He is really trying to quit-quit for vacation. Have to admit that smoking on vacation is a real issue for me. I get tired of sitting by myself while I'm waiting for him to be off somewhere for a smoke or even waiting with him in a designated smoking area. On vacation, we drink more. When he drinks more, he smokes more, so it can be a problem. Plus, I am pretty sure my MIL did him in. Mike and his sister must have to pee every 12.6 minutes. It drives me nuts. When they're together, they're worse. They could pee 5 minutes before we go somewhere, then have to pee again immediately before we leave. My BIL and I love to commiserate over that. There is something about going on a ride, or getting in a car, or going to Church that triggers something like Pavlov's dog.

I swear, between the smoke breaks and bathroom breaks, sometimes it's a wonder I see my husband at all on vacation.

So, Lawrence, and everyone else who is trying to quit: I really am rooting for you. I know that it's hard. :hug:

Thank you and know what you are saying and a big deal is I get tired of looking for places to smoke and some of the looks you get when you light one up and I too am trying to be fully done with smoking by our trip this july so keep your fingers crossed maybe I will be smoke free :woohoo:

[wwessing]

DANG Did we get evicted or what :confused3 We didn't get to finish out our lease. . . . Phamton locked my stuff in there :rolleyes1 Guess I get new crap now.

It was too dark this morning. . . not used to the time change. When it stays light out longer, I have a harder time getting dd's to go to sleep. It's REALLY not fun when it's still light at 9:00pm :scared1: They think they should be outside playing, not inside wasting daylight . . . or twilight. . . or bright moonlight.

Had family dinner last night. Parents came and dd20 with my grandson who I haven't seen for 2 weeks :confused: DH told dd that grandson was staying with us next weekend. She was like, uuumm, ok, Friday - Sunday!!!!! :love:
We made corned beef and cabbage. . . I know, I know, it's early but St. Paddy's day is so close to Easter, we thought we'd get it out of the way. We also had roasted chicken. . .gee, something new. . . so I could eat dinner too. Made a HUGE roaster full of corned beef, cabbage, new potatoes, onions and carrots. Then filled another crockpot with all the veggies and added the corned beef spices with water. . . again, so I could eat the veggies without the fat. Dh was watching the race and forgot to put the chicken in the rotisserie on time. . .it wasn't ready for 45 minutes after everyone was here. So, we just started with the corned beef and the chicken was seconds for those who wanted it. . cept me, I waited on the bird. Dd's were being horrible and walking all over my last nerve too :headache: I was ready to strangulate all of them. . . do we have an affectionate, pc way to say. . B R A T S ? :confused3 Just wondered. . .


Foster dog should be going home this week sometime :woohoo: She's cute and all, but demands too much time and attention. . . besides, I'm tired of replacing shoe laces :rolleyes: and she's started chewing on the couch cushions. :sad2:

AAAAaargh! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/scared001.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) We've been invaded!

:welcome: and :wave2:

Make yourself at home!

[RVGal]

We got kicked out of the old place early, huh? Did we forget to give that first month/last month deposit thing? Or was it just so full of junk, no more would fit?

I had a heckuva time convincing the boys that it was bedtime last night ("But, Mooooom... it's not even all the way dark...") and then everyone was dragging this morning. I hope that means good bedtimes tonight.

I thought it was just my foggy brain when I got to the old thread this morning. I was freaking out because I couldn't find the quote buttons in the corner. Then I got to the end where it was locked. Oh, okay. I get it now.

I have a few overly ripe bananas. I think I'll make some banana bread.

It looks like I'm hosting Easter dinner this year. Time to clean up. Although, compared to my oldest sisters house, the state things are in right now could be called clean.

I'm going to do Easter bunny shopping tomorrow. Mom is going to sit with Daniel.

I made my Ob/Gyn appointment for next week. Joy! We did our taxes this weekend and, in going through the medical bills, I confirmed that it definitely has been over a year since my last visit. When I called this morning, I learned that they changed their computer system early last year and "a whole bunch of people didn't get the reminder cards".

Okay, I guess that is all my random thoughts for now.

It could be you. It could be anyone. I wouldn't take it personally, and hope you don't either! :goodvibes It doesn't take a lot for him to get back in the saddle. Once my friend Karen told him she was very surprised that he was trying to lose weight AND quit smoking at the same time, I mean, "who does that?!" That was all it took for him not to quit. :rolleyes: Notice that he picked losing weight over quitting smoking. :sick: Needless to say, when he got semi-serious about Chantix, first thing I did was tell Karen to please be positive with him this time, no matter what she heard about Chantix or his progress.

I am excited that we are not going on the next few cruises with our friend Tom. I love Tom, but Tom is a heavy smoker, and Mike just :love: :love: :love: having a smoke buddy. You see, it makes smoking totally OK when you're not doing it alone. :cool2: However, we all know a carton of cigarettes costs next to nothing on the ship, so I'm hoping that's not an impetus either.

Like I said, it's in God's hands now. :)

[coastermom]

HEllO ALL ,

I missed the move :confused3 .

Well thanks to Barb. for the cheat sheet :thanks: I have made a copy and will keep it handy :thumbsup2

One for family that is going to be there for both sides of the party and one for my DD 'S friends that will be there for her sweet 16 cake .

I got Pinkeye for the first time in my life last year. It ran through Joshua's Pre-K, he brought it home, we all got it (thank you VERY much), and then it went away. I've hear rumblings of it again at his kindergarten this year, but so far (knock wood) he hasn't gotten it.

Ah, yes. Nothing says "good day" like a speculum. I get all achy and stuff after the pap test. Really looking forward to it!

Shipping banana bread, huh? But then I'd have to answer yes to the, "Does this package contain anything liquid, fragile, perishable or potentially hazardous" question. What do they do if you say "yes"?

They could pee 5 minutes before we go somewhere, then have to pee again immediately before we leave. My BIL and I love to commiserate over that. There is something about going on a ride, or getting in a car, or going to Church that triggers something like Pavlov's dog.



heck of a side effect:eek: ps - they have weak/nervous bladders;) not the same as salivating ala pavlov's dog...same idea lol

anyone bank with Citibank?

I've called & have had my pins reset, etc...still can't get online:headache: . No stand alone banks in our area either, ready to just close it out via ATM (probably a fee for that too since it's on Maestro (never heard of that network) FYI, prime rate is supposed to be slashed heavily again end of week...soon we'll be paying the banks to hold our money:sad2:

Oh, DolphinLover83 is too long?? Hehe You can call me Patty! :wave:

Hi Patty!

We had started a website but never really finished it. :rolleyes1 Anywho, that would be awesome to have the kids chat with one another. Maybe a penpal type connection? Let me know what your coaches/team members think! Any help and motivation would be great for them! We do not have nearly the amount of students on your team, we have about 6 or 7, but it would be great for them, and you never know, maybe we would see each other one day at the Champs in GA!! :woohoo:

I was thinking more along the lines of facebook, myspace, email. I'll run it by James tonight. :thumbsup2



ps def. not worried about [COLOR=red]patty/flipper lol (need a better name! KFeds been dubbed already:3dglasses we could call u brittany but i wouldn't want to hang that one on you:rotfl: ) infecting us...def. the other way around...we're a motley crew...arrrrgh

And Who Does Damo Have Again?

We gave Damo Carpentier because he was the other dude from Canada when her first pick was dropped.

And lookie at Jennifer with her Post-It Note guy! :woohoo:

[RVGal]

Wow. We didn't clutter up the new place much today, did we?

I'm off to settle the boys and then I'm hoping to get to bed early.

Tomorrow is Easter Bunny shopping day, so I may not check in until later.

Night!

[tarheelmjfan]

I don't care what room I have as long as I get an adult bed! The kiddie bed was no fun! )

:rotfl:



Hello to all!

Hopefully there's some room in the new house for me! I guess I get stuck with the kiddie bed though, huh? Sorry, Kstarfish82, you're no longer the youngest...hehe. I just hope our housemates don't make us share a room with bunkbeds!

SharonG: I've been reading the previous thread and have seen that your son participated in the FIRST robotics competition. I am actually a coach for the FIRST Robotics team in the school I teach at over here in NY!! Our team is not nearly as big and this is only our 2nd year in it, but can't wait to hear about the competition your son participated in! Ours is not until March 27th-29th! Any tips??? LOL

Well, hello to all of the peeps in here, and I'm sure my sis is going to kill me for posting in here and invading "her territory," sorry sis!

Hmmmm...who could my sis be???

Welcome Patty!!!



evicted again?

Blame it on the trouble makers breaking in the new place early. We had to move out of the old place early & sign the papers here to keep them out of jail. :sad2: Someday Mac's just going to have to make an example out of them & let them see how they like spending the night with the other criminals. :laughing:



Mornin' all....

Somebody wake Jennifer....I think she overslept!! Losing that hour over the weekend musta caught up with her!!!

Welcome KFed's sis.....you have another name we can call you for short?? We welcome everyone here with open arms..... :teeth:

Soccer game tonite after work & dinner....MUST do workout...dunno when you'll see me today

Have a good Monday all!!



Remember you still owe us a Mommy/Bubba story. :listen:


Good morning homies I see the new home is up and running,
Couldn't get on last night due to my cable service was working on the internet but atleast one good thing this weekend was that I have managed to cut my smoking in half and maybe if I keep going at this rate I can quit all together soon :cool1:

That's awesome Lawrence! :woohoo:



I am off to the soggy basement to wet vac again - had water from the storm on Saturday :sad2:

I'm beginning to agree with Barb. Glad I don't have a basement. Of course, if I did, it would always be filled with water. ;) Did you get it all cleaned up?





I don't know, but Mike told me to watch out for signs of suicide ...

:scared1: That's scary! Naturally, I won't tell Mike that. Mums the word! :ssst:




DANG
Had family dinner last night. Parents came and dd20 with my grandson who I haven't seen for 2 weeks :confused: DH told dd that grandson was staying with us next weekend. She was like, uuumm, ok, Friday - Sunday!!!!! :love:
We made corned beef and cabbage. . . I know, I know, it's early but St. Paddy's day is so close to Easter, we thought we'd get it out of the way. We also had roasted chicken. . .gee, something new. . . so I could eat dinner too. Made a HUGE roaster full of corned beef, cabbage, new potatoes, onions and carrots. Then filled another crockpot with all the veggies and added the corned beef spices with water. . . again, so I could eat the veggies without the fat. Dh was watching the race and forgot to put the chicken in the rotisserie on time. . .it wasn't ready for 45 minutes after everyone was here. So, we just started with the corned beef and the chicken was seconds for those who wanted it. . cept me, I waited on the bird. Dd's were being horrible and walking all over my last nerve too :headache: I was ready to strangulate all of them. . . do we have an affectionate, pc way to say. . B R A T S ? :confused3 Just wondered. . .


You are doing so great with your diet. I wish I could find some of your willpower. :thumbsup2




You will never believe how this B-Day has turned out . Well went out with DH and kiddies on Saturday . Sunday had dinner at mom and dads house . Last night DH asks what is up with your eyes?? They have been red for like 2 days now . I just think time for new contacts so I throw out the old ones and well I got up to go to work and :teacher: . Well I can't open my eyes and guess what the DR says ......PINK EYE !!! :mad: :sick: .

I had pink eye once. I got it from Kenny, when he was in elementary school. Fortunately, he's only had it once too.



I just renewed my Universal Preferred Annual Pass! :woohoo:

Wow, you are theme park ready! Wish we had WDW & UO APs.




So the DF wretched his neck today and couldn't go to work.....some people and their excuses! ;)

Are you sure it wasn't the birthday celebration that caused the neck pain? ;)

there - what's going on besides your crazy schedule??

[Akdar]

I just can't keep up with you people :)
I haven't been here since Friday, had a 22 hour day Friday with my day job and a sound gig in Allentown (about an hour drive). (From the time I got up at 5:30AM Friday until I got home and into bed Sat at 3:30AM). Anyway, then I had a long session in the studio Saturday, and yesterday I had a Gospel band with a 9 member choir, haven't recorded that style in a while, they were great, but it was a lot of work! So, after the weekend, then going to my day job today, I came home and crashed! I knew there would be a lot to Ketchup on, but WOW!!!!!

Anyway, I'm alive and lurking!
G'night all, time to crash again.

[bubba's mom]

And I vote for no hot water. Hot water is for sissies.

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/signs065.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)Then I proudly proclaim "I'm a sissy....I love hot showers." :snooty:

evicted again?

:guilty: yeah....let's try to stay here for awhile :teeth:


Brab, I was reading the instructions on my lotions, and they all say "apply immediately before tanning." Hmpph. I guess "immediately" really mean at least 15 minutes before tanning?

You can apply immediately beforehand, but best to apply it a little bit before so it can "soak in" ;)

I stopped by work tonite (don't ask :headache: ) and we have a commercial running on the local radio station (y102) and the DJ was in over the weekend for Hydration Station treatment and tan session. She mentioned we have the only Hydration Station in the entire area....definately a plus :thumbsup2 Heard the commercial while there...was very good and quite funny actually...(she's a very lighthearted DJ)

Oh what the frick - I missed the moving van again....:mad: :headache:
This stuff is awfully heavy to be lugging around :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I am off to the soggy basement to wet vac again - had water from the storm on Saturday :sad2:



:rotfl: I agree....I'm gettin' tired of draining, breaking down, moving, reassembling and filling my bed every time we move.... :headache:

I hope you got your basement cleaned up....at least you had some warning... hope it wasn't too bad :scared:

Honey, I'm home! We had a fabulous and very successful show & weekend! Thanks for all the well wishes.

I have to try to catch up from page 208 in our previous home. Don't know If I will ever get that done. And there are already 5 full pages here!

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. If anyone took cliff notes for me please forward them my way.

I need to head to bed but wanted to let you all know I am home safe.

Talk to you all tomorrow! Sweet sleep everyone!

[t-and-a]

Oh boy! Phamton sure didn't mess around....she locked up before MAC could even get home last night....that joint is locked up tight!

[t-and-a]

thanks... :hug:

That's the problem...'nothing' is going BESIDES the schedule...and not MY schedule :headache:

What's wrong Barb?

I missed most of the day of work today....I went in for 3 hours and had to come home and go to bed. This cold or whatever it is is getting the best of me.....

[bubba's mom]

Its supposed to be nice this weekend - tell him to start walking to get ready for vacation or something. I know when I am outside and walking/gardening/whatever, I have a tendency to smoke less.

And how are YOU doing with your 'walking'....hhmmmm....:scratchin

forgot to mention, one of the commercials for seedy lawyers on tv ... in our market is looking for peeps to sue re Chantix (sp) as to side effects? what's up with that?


I don't know, but Mike told me to watch out for signs of suicide ...


:eek:

DANG Did we get evicted or what? We didn't get to finish out our lease. . . . Phamton locked my stuff in there. Guess I get new crap now.

:lmao: I know...I lost a few pair of flipflops there. Any reason to go shopping tho :cool1:

When it stays light out longer, I have a harder time getting dd's to go to sleep. It's REALLY not fun when it's still light at 9:00pm. They think they should be outside playing, not inside wasting daylight . . . or twilight. . . or bright moonlight.

Had family dinner last night. Parents came and dd20 with my grandson who I haven't seen for 2 weeks. DH told dd that grandson was staying with us next weekend. She was like, uuumm, ok, Friday - Sunday!!!!!

So, we just started with the corned beef and the chicken was seconds for those who wanted it. . cept me, I waited on the bird.

Foster dog should be going home this week sometime. She's cute and all, but demands too much time and attention. . . besides, I'm tired of replacing shoe laces and she's started chewing on the couch cushions.

I like the longer light...Bubba is okay with it too...NOW...younger (like Tricia's boys' ages) was a problem tho :headache:

Proud of you for stickin' with the healthy choice...you're doin great!! (was there an alli coupon on their website? :confused3 Thot I heard....)

Glad you get to spend the weekend with grandson....the reward for NOT strangling your kids :thumbsup2 ....Lose a doggie, gain a grandchild... (I thought you sent puppers to Tricia's :confused3 )

We got kicked out of the old place early, huh? Did we forget to give that first month/last month deposit thing? Or was it just so full of junk, no more would fit?


:lmao: :confused3 I was surprised we got kicked out early too....We coulda had one more day...(that's how I left behind some flipflops...rushing to get all my stuff....)

I had a heckuva time convincing the boys that it was bedtime last night ("But, Mooooom... it's not even all the way dark...") and then everyone was dragging this morning. I hope that means good bedtimes tonight.


It looks like I'm hosting Easter dinner this year. Time to clean up. Although, compared to my oldest sisters house, the state things are in right now could be called clean.

I made my Ob/Gyn appointment for next week.

Okay, I guess that is all my random thoughts for now.

My random thots about your random thots: We had problems getting Bubba to bed when he was your boys ages....Being light out when it was time to go to bed, wasn't happenin'..... But, he rebounded perfectly and never had issues getting to sleep or getting up....I think the older you get, the more adaptable you are.... You know how young kids try to squeeze every second of playtime out of the day they can ;)

I'm having Easter dinner here too...not cleaning up...just for Mom. If she don't like the looks of the joint, she can stay home :p

I think I'm the only one who doesn't mind the OB/GYN :confused3 She delivered my Bubba and she is the worlds BEST doc! I'd drive 3 hours one way to visit her ::yes:: (I actually look forward to seeing her...as we chat like long lost friends...:laughing: )



Last night DH asks what is up with your eyes?? They have been red for like 2 days now . I just think time for new contacts so I throw out the old ones and well I got up to go to work .... Well I can't open my eyes and guess what the DR says ......PINK EYE !!!

So now I am home and not allowed near my job for at least 24 -48 hours . Another week with no work .:mad: So how many adults get this ?? Really I am just about done with the sickies nonsence . Between this ,the dentist and well the normal womenly event we all get I am done for the month. And it is only the 10th .



Sorry to hear you have all the 'crap' going on at the same time... :hug: But, be positive and just get it all done and over with at once... I had it when I was a teenager (also had laringitis (sp) at the same time.... :rotfl: THAT was fun....

Bubba had pinkeye a couple times (toldya when he gets sick, he gets 'weird' stuff :sad2: ) He was 1.5 yrs old and we were at my in-laws in FL on vacation. He didn't have red/pink eyes, so MIL kept telling me he didn't have pinkeye. BUT, he did have the 'crusty' eyes... Finally after a day or so, I called home to his pediatrician and they called stuff in to local CVS. So, here's my poor baby on EYE DROPS at the ripe old age of 1.5! :sad2: THAT was fun to give him those.... Laid him on the floor on his back, DH "straddled" him over his chest and I had to hold his arms down while keeping his head still between my knees...oh joy! And the best part of this??? He was due for eyedrops just before we boarded the plane to come home....yeah...imagine THAT scene :rolleyes1 (by the way, the doctor said you CAN have pinkeye and NOT have any redness or pink eyes... :confused3 )

I was thinking that we had 16 pages to go! Somebody's credit must be bad for us to get kicked out early.



Okay...who ran up the credit card and got us kicked out early?? Have a feeling it just wasn't Jennifer....think she knows better.....

[bubba's mom]

http://localautomation.com/products/P2388-3380-EmergencyStop_web.jpg

THANK YOU!!! :worship:

What's wrong Barb?

I missed most of the day of work today....I went in for 3 hours and had to come home and go to bed. This cold or whatever it is is getting the best of me.....

You ain't allowed to be sick in the new house...it's ALL CLEAN AND GERM FREE! :eek: Back to bed http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/4.gif

What's wrong....well, I was up at 7:15 this morning, went to work then came home and didn't have a chance to sit down till 9:30 tonite (not including eating the 20 minute dinner w/ the boys and the soccer game)... I didn't even have time to do my workout :mad: I hate this schedule.... :headache:

[bubba's mom]

Mike and his sister must have to pee every 12.6 minutes. It drives me nuts. When they're together, they're worse. They could pee 5 minutes before we go somewhere, then have to pee again immediately before we leave. My BIL and I love to commiserate over that. There is something about going on a ride, or getting in a car, or going to Church that triggers something like Pavlov's dog.



Forgot to mention....easy to cure him of the 'potty' issue....tease him he pees as often as a woman! :lmao:

Maybe it is all this moving . Ya know they just don't forward mail the way they use to .:rotfl2: :lmao:

:lmao:



And yes, I have all of my shots, so please let me in the house…it’s pretty cold out here! :cold:


http://bestsmileys.com/whisper/1.gif we're in the south...it's warm here ;)


anyone bank with Citibank?

Got me a Citibank Visa when I was like 19 or 20...first credit card I got on my own w/o co-signer :goodvibes Since it's been changed to CitiMastercard....that happens to be the card we use for online purchases...never a balance on it, so no need to look up online...sorry can't help.... :hug:

I just renewed my Universal Preferred Annual Pass! :woohoo:

Tomorrow is Easter Bunny shopping day, so I may not check in until later.

Night!

Have yourself a wonderful time shopping tomorrow.... :rolleyes1

where's the night shift?

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/greet013.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

Just me.... Lori just got home and Alison is sick... (how funny is it I get to meet them BOTH this summer... ;) )

Found out the Dumber called out sick at 7 pm on Friday when he was due in at 1030 pm and the only one assigned to work midnights that night. Sounds like his excuse didn't qualify.

....to call out on a midnight tour AND over a weekend at that last moment is a definite call for some ball busting. As punishment, they took the rest of his midnight tour away from him, and only gave him one "night" off but had him come in at 6:30 the next morning for day tour on Saturday. Hope he learned his lesson. Where I work is NOT a place for sissies, that's for sure. Now, I get to work with RIP#1. Which is sadly better than working with Dumber. :lmao:



:eek: :lmao: Good for 'em!!! He deserves it..... I'm guessing getting the 'midnight shift' taken away from you is a big deal....big bux lost? :confused3



Blame it on the trouble makers breaking in the new place early. We had to move out of the old place early & sign the papers here to keep them out of jail. :sad2: Someday Mac's just going to have to make an example out of them & let them see how they like spending the night with the other criminals. :laughing:

Yeah Janet.... :snooty:




Remember you still owe us a Mommy/Bubba story. :listen:

CRAP!!! I DID forget! :headache: I will try to remember in the morning...I have a 10:30 appt for my car to be inspected...the joint happens to have wifi...so you KNOW I'll be lookin' to kill some time... :thumbsup2


Okay, I'm going to ask one more time..... What's up with the Landshark? Please, describe!

Honestly :confused3 I don't drink it (or much 'beer' for that matter).... it's popular at Margaritaville...and both Janet and Tracie live in PA and distributors are just getting it in now....guessin' it reminds them of UO???

Oh boy! Phamton sure didn't mess around....she locked up before MAC could even get home last night....that joint is locked up tight!

I heard mac got locked out, but her cat got locked IN, so she broke into the joint to get her and got arrested for breaking/entering and trespassing :confused3

P-Fin??? Ummmm...ok?!?!?!

Good night homies going to bed I guess in a jittery mood cause smoked my last smoke for the day which I guess isn't too bad when ya consider I am a 2 pack a day guy and only smoked 1/2 pack today so hopefully I can keep it going so keep your fingers crossed :lmao: :lmao:

Slow and steady with the smokes Lawrence...it's not easy, but you can do it! :thumbsup2 Nothing good about smoking and you'll add years to your life....something MaryEva and the boys will be grateful for :goodvibes



TODD...you too....baby steps! :thumbsup2 I think you've set a very realistic goal...you can definately do it :goodvibes (at least at work you're busy and don't think about it.....it's when you're not at work ya gotta find something to keep ya busy....)

[macraven]

Hello to all!

Hopefully there's some room in the new house for me! I guess I get stuck with the kiddie bed though, huh? Sorry, Kstarfish82, you're no longer the youngest...hehe. I just hope our housemates don't make us share a room with bunkbeds! :lmao:



Hmmmm...who could my sis be??? :confused3
:welcome: :welcome: :welcome:

to the newest homie on the block here:


dolPhinloverEr83




ok, i have been mia due to a personal problem the last 24 hours, but was able to set this continuation thread in motion before i had to check out.

now i'll read up and find out who sis is..........



be sure to come back and play with us.

we are a nice bunch of homies and eagerly welcome all newbies here

[bubba's mom]

Will catch you all in the morning.....

Have a good night!!



:cloud9:

[macraven]

Yippee...here we go again! :woohoo:


number 1.........



I call dibs on the room overlooking to pool!

this one threw me for a loop.
did not expect her in the top 3 for sign ins.....
but glad she did!


Dibs on the room w/ private bath and someone help me move my waterbed...pleeze :flower3:



this was a given, knew she would be either #`1 or 2 in the new thread.


I want the room that is soundproof.

Don't ask.



was surprised, thought tracie would be in position 1 or 2 not 4th......

the notes relate to who i was thinking of making the top 3 for posting here once the new thread went up...


evicted again?http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/rant2.gif

http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/welcome.gif to dolpin peep, careful here...got all your shots?;)

jodie - always happy to add my special brand of http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/bs_sign.gifto any thread lol


i love that smilie!
you are so good....


Good morning homies I see the new home is up and running,
Couldn't get on last night due to my cable service was working on the internet but atleast one good thing this weekend was that I have managed to cut my smoking in half and maybe if I keep going at this rate I can quit all together soon :cool1:


i hear ya on the cable service.
mine went out yesterday.
that and an issue at home kept me away until now.


just hearing you talk about smokes makes me want to :smokin:

Oh what the frick - I missed the moving van again....
This stuff is awfully heavy to be lugging around
Happy Monday (not) -



be back later

well, the moving van pulled out of the driveway a lot sooner than i thought it would be....

that took me by surprise also
and i paid the rent up to the 25th of the month........

i need a refund!!!

forgot to mention, one of the commercials for seedy lawyers on tv ;) in our market is looking for peeps to sue re Chantix (sp) as to side effects? what's up with that?


i read that people on Chantix have to go on viagra little blue pill..........for reasons.........:rolleyes1

Rut-Roh.....I guess I better not run into you guys whilst drinking - because that is when I tend to smoke more http://bestsmileys.com/eyes/13.gif. If he really quit quits for vacation, I would feel awful that I am tempting him


if i am drinking, i will be with you on that.....


We got kicked out of the old place early, huh? Did we forget to give that first month/last month deposit thing? Or was it just so full of junk, no more would fit?







i sent phamton a pm yesterday telling her i was setting up #3 for us so when we turned 250 pages, all would be set up for us.
i had no idea that she did it at that time.
i guess i just assumed she would wait until our number came up.
with phamton being busy, she probably had to do the link then in order to set up the new digs for us.


the one thing i fretted about today was did we get moved..........
now online and see that we did.
whew.

HEllO ALL ,

I missed the move :confused3 .

Well thanks to Barb. for the cheat sheet :thanks: I have made a copy and will keep it handy :thumbsup2

You will never believe how this B-Day has turned out . Well went out with DH and kiddies on Saturday . Sunday had dinner at mom and dads house . Last night DH asks what is up with your eyes?? They have been red for like 2 days now . I just think time for new contacts so I throw out the old ones and well I got up to go to work and :teacher: . Well I can't open my eyes and guess what the DR says ......PINK EYE !!! :mad: :sick: .

So now I am home and not allowed near my job for at least 24 -48 hours . Another week with no work .:mad: So how many adults get this ?? :confused3 Really I am just about done with the sickies nonsence . Between this ,the dentist and well the normal womenly event we all get I am done for the month:rotfl2: :lmao: And it is only the 10th .:scared1:



:wave2: :welcome: Dolphinlover !!

well, which party are you inviting all the homies to?


pink eye...........wow...........
i have never had a childhood disease.
i shutter when i hear of a kid having one and i'm exposed to it.
i'd probably end up in the hospital......

[COLOR="Navy"]I was thinking that we had 16 pages to go! Somebody's credit must be bad for us to get kicked out early. :rotfl:

/COLOR]


yea, i thought my credit was good......





Shipping banana bread, huh? But then I'd have to answer yes to the, "Does this package contain anything liquid, fragile, perishable or potentially hazardous" question. What do they do if you say "yes"?


ask brab what to do.
she will know what to say............



due to all the smilies, i'll never get all posted with the quotes if i don't break it up and post this part now.


will continue ...........

[macraven]

even with breaking the quoting up, i had to delete 7 smilies in my last post to get it through.....




but, i do love the smilies..........green one of janet's is a hoot........and the bs sign....

Ok, is anyone else getting email notifications about 3 hours after the fact?

i am not receiving any except a few from sunday now.
maybe i was bad and being punished.
i went to church, i can't be all that evil.
but my twin sissy sure is.
she sat in the back pew and smoked in drank in church on sunday.
i was totally embarrassed.
at a sbc church to boot......

3 Hours you are lucky . I was getting them a day later . Sometimes I still am .:confused3 . Maybe it is all this moving . Ya know they just don't forward mail the way they use to .:rotfl2: :lmao:


i love that line...:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I just renewed my Universal Preferred Annual Pass! :woohoo:



good boy!!!

todd, can we renew over the phone or on the internet?
my renewal should come up on oct 1st this year and i won't be home at that time.


Hey everyone!

So I see my sister followed me over here.....after making fun of my online social life.....:

So the DF wretched his neck today and couldn't go to work.....some people and their excuses! ;)



ok, let's get even.
let's call her patty with an http://bestsmileys.com/eyes/1.gif



i'll just say hey, homie patthttp://bestsmileys.com/eyes/1.gif


:rotfl:





Welcome Patty!!!





Blame it on the trouble makers breaking in the new place early. We had to move out of the old place early & sign the papers here to keep them out of jail. :sad2: Someday Mac's just going to have to make an example out of them & let them see how they like spending the night with the other criminals. :laughing:




jail, yes, i know that word.
i have stories i could tell you about that but ............


SOMEBODY STOP THE FRICKIN WORLD AND LEMME OFF!!!!

i'm having one of those days also.
i feel your pain

I just can't keep up with you people :)
I haven't been here since Friday, had a 22 hour day Friday with my day job and a sound gig in Allentown (about an hour drive). (From the time I got up at 5:30AM Friday until I got home and into bed Sat at 3:30AM). Anyway, then I had a long session in the studio Saturday, and yesterday I had a Gospel band with a 9 member choir, haven't recorded that style in a while, they were great, but it was a lot of work! So, after the weekend, then going to my day job today, I came home and crashed! I knew there would be a lot to Ketchup on, but WOW!!!!!

Anyway, I'm alive and lurking!
G'night all, time to crash again.


mike so good to see you here.
did you see on the csw thread about the survey?
a new one that was listed on other boards but not on csw this time.
i took it and hope they read it.

sounds like you are really busy with the recording groups.
i would have loved to have heard the gospel group you mentioned.
i'm many pages behind also but will read all of them.
i can't refer to all the postings but try for some.

[macraven]

uh....still waitin' mac.... :bored:



i would have been here if at all humanly possible.
but am here to lock up tonight.
in fact i will be here all night........:eek:

http://localautomation.com/products/P2388-3380-EmergencyStop_web.jpg
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

they are a hoot.:laughing:



Honey, I'm home! We had a fabulous and very successful show & weekend! Thanks for all the well wishes.

I have to try to catch up from page 208 in our previous home. Don't know If I will ever get that done. And there are already 5 full pages here!

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. If anyone took cliff notes for me please forward them my way.

I need to head to bed but wanted to let you all know I am home safe.

Talk to you all tomorrow! Sweet sleep everyone!


we missed you!
i was hoping if some didn't see the link for this thread, they would figure it out on the UO boards when i called us #3...........
i did it that way for all the blondes........



Oh boy! Phamton sure didn't mess around....she locked up before MAC could even get home last night....that joint is locked up tight!


even with my evil sister sissy who can pick locks can't get back into that home.....
and that was one of her many talents she has.......

yup, i got locked out also and never knew it.
just roamed the streets all night until 6:30 this morning trying to get in.....


:yay: Welcome home....you were missed!



I heard mac got locked out, but her cat got locked IN, so she broke into the joint to get her and got arrested for breaking/entering and trespassing :confused3

[macraven]

before i start surfing and until forensic files comes back on, i need to answer a question.


i think mary asked about me.

my brother that i am close to and love dearly lives in honolulu.
he moved there in 1990 after he left Thailand

we try to see each other every other year.
last september he came to st louis area/ illinois side though, and stayed with the folks/
it was his turn to come to the states but we had our dates mixed up.
i told him january 07 the florida dates i had and would not be available.
you guessed it.
he came 2 days before my scheduled trip so i couldn't have him up to my place. his plans changed and he had to go to boston on business first.
we didn't get to see each other last year.

i promised him i would come see him this spring.


other than that my bottle of jack is now empty and i have been using spell check.
i leave on the 18th and will be gone 8 days

Janet, your font is not huge on my 'puter! I needed a magnifying glass to read it.

OK, here's my gag of the day. I hate young, blissfully happy pregnant people. They get on my nerves. I do not need to be mailed your sonograms on a regular basis. And I don't need to see pictures of you being tiny, tiny everywhere except for your little belly that is growing, but you just think is SOOOO HUGE!!!! And, haven't I welcomed your baby enough when you first announced your pregnancy when you were about 2 days late and when I bought you a baby gift a month later and then when I just purchased something off your shower registry even though the baby isn't due till the end of July? Yes, the title of my latest email this morning was "WELCOME LANDON JEREMY!!" with about 4 sonogram pictures attached. Yes, "welcome" but the baby won't be here for 4.5 months. Second of all ... Landon? You want a quarterback and you're giving your poor child the first name of Landon? Landon? Really? Was that their "cute" way of announcing the baby name? Frankly, I find Landon obnoxiously preppy, but then again, I don't have kids for a reason. Am I really posting this on a message board?

[damo]

Idol tonight. Yay! Apparently it is Beatles night. Go Jason! I might even vote (since I won't be able to do that once I get home).

[coastermom]

Hello all again ..

I did not come on last night as I was too tired and not feeling too well either . All this and my DD12 is going to be suspended from school to boot. :mad: She borrowed a pen in school which had a laser pointer on it and that is considered a weapon. So off I go to see the dean today at 10 AM. Not only am I annoyed at her for being so dumb but I am just as annoyed at the school. Never mind the phone thing a few weeks ago but it really is just a pen that she borrowed and she didn't even know it was a weapon. AHHHH I need a :grouphug: . I thought this was suppose to be getting better as they got older not WORSE !;)

So I also vote to STOP THE WORLD because I want off now too .

I have got to get my stuff together now and I will post later to let everyone know how I did at :teacher: . I hope that it goes smoothly .


Sharon I noticed in your pictures of the hotel room you had a slepnumber bed . Did you like it ? I have to say my number is anywhere between 45 and 50 and I am sleeping like a rock. :cloud9:

My DD ,the older one ,did lego robotics and loved it :love: but it is not offered in our Catholic High Schools and she didn't like the public HS here . I know the legos are different but they are also run by the FIRST people. :thumbsup2

Off for now ....:surfweb: I'LL BE BACK ...

[tlinus]

mac - Glad to see you back!! Sorry about the problems - hope things are better now. Also loved the pui :lmao:

barb - Its spring sport season and soon I will be http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/scared002.gif right along with you....3 kids on different baseball/softball teams. Frank actually has practice tomorrow night (first one), still waiting to hear from the girls coaches :rolleyes1 KBean is going on her 8th year of softball but this year its for our local team, not the old team. Should be interesting.

patty - WELCOME!!!! Hope you enjoy it here as much as we do :yay:

katie - you need to watch what you say now, huh?? or else :lmao: - spring break next week??

janet - We don't use citibank. You should open an ING account and transfer the money to that somehow. We don't have one, but my cousin does and she said they are so easy to use/get to your money. Their interest rates are pretty good too

todd - :woohoo: for renewing your pass - hopefully you will be invited to a certain preview soon and of course let us know all about the ride

lawrence - Great job yesterday!!! Keep up the good work - we are here for support as well :thumbsup2

penny - How you doing? Thanks for keeping track. Hard to see myself in 4th place.....Tony better step it up a bit.

mike - You know how much we yak http://bestsmileys.com/talking/1.gif but we sure are glad that you are lurking. What a hectic schedule you have had - yeesh!!!! Be sure to keep us posted on how you are doing!

sharon - Hey there http://bestsmileys.com/waving/3.gif - and I like P-fin!!!

tricia - Good Luck Easter Bunny!!!

jodie - Now I can see why Dumber is named Dumber. Losing out on the shift diff?? How sick was he really?? Pffft - I don't work outside the house, but I function everyday - no matter what. As far as your disdain for the newly prego - hey, you are entitled to your opinion, we live in a country where you can express yourself freely, go for it!!! For the record - I always got miffed by those strangers who felt it ok to touch my stomach :headache: :mad:

tammy - thanks for asking about the basement - it was not as bad as last winter, so that was a bonus, but still a PITA to clean up:sad2: could you send me the cheat sheet too?? (I am pretty sure Barb sent it to you)

lori - glad to see you back jump on in and let us know how the weekend was, ok?

allison - hope you are feeling better today :flower3:

mary - hope you are feeling better soon as well:flower3: Sorry to hear about dd. Seems to me its not right and I would be as mad as all get out.....didn't she tell them she only BORROWED a PEN and the owner of said pen should be in trouble as he/she is the one who brought it to school to begin with?!?!?!?grrrrrrrrrr - let us know how you make out with the principal.

damo - Morning to you too!!! I may actually watch Idol tonight if its Beatles night!

I think that makes me all ketched up - need to go do some :laundy: Be back later, gaters!!!!

[coastermom]

Tracie ... I have the Cheat sheet were you looking for it or was Tammy ?? :confused3

Ok went to the :teacher: School to see the Dean of the grade and the AP. The school rules are that it is considered a weapon and that well as long as there was possion they have to suspend her . The AP was actually sympathatic with the situation as there were 6 kids involved and most of them said that my DD only had it for 5 min to write with . There were other kids that were suspended longer and for more of a serious infraction . I am glad it wasn't her . She will have to spend the day with him for her suspension on Friday. It will come off her record at the end of the year and she will be OK with the high schools then . I was glad to hear that and happy to see that he had no idea who my DD was and told me that she has always done the right thing there and he was supprised to see that it was her . Made me feel better about the whole ordeal.
She was so nervous she almost cried :sad1: when he called her to come to the office to see us . It mad me feel a little sad that she was really that nervous being in his office. Everything is all better now but she is still going to be punished . Just on the principal of being suspended .


Ok off to clean up a little and maybe get in a nap. :cloud9:

Be back later .

Frankly, I find Landon obnoxiously preppy, but then again, I don't have kids for a reason. Am I really posting this on a message board?

I agree...her font was small??? :confused3

This pregnant lady you rant of....friend? coworker? family? Pregnant women tend to have horomones all over the place...they are just so excited (esp. if 1st child) and really have no idea how annoying they are....honest. Best to keep your distance I guess? Sorry you seem to get all "these" kind of people? (Brother too....)

Idol tonight. Yay! Apparently it is Beatles night. Go Jason! I might even vote (since I won't be able to do that once I get home).

How are you going to vote? Do you have landline in SC?? I know you can vote via cell in Canada....but can you use your Canadian cell to vote in US?



janet - We don't use citibank. You should open an ING account and transfer the money to that somehow. We don't have one, but my cousin does and she said they are so easy to use/get to your money. Their interest rates are pretty good too

yep...I've heard that about ING accounts....they are very good....(but then again, it's overseas and of course their economy is doing better than ours right now....) :sad2:

todd - :woohoo: for renewing your pass - hopefully you will be invited to a certain preview soon and of course let us know all about the ride

TODD....forgot to ask you...while you were on the phone renewing, didja make sure they have your current info for the newsletter and such?


sharon - Hey there http://bestsmileys.com/waving/3.gif - and I like P-fin!!!

And there would be your 'second'..... :rolleyes:


tammy - could you send me the cheat sheet too?? (I am pretty sure Barb sent it to you)

:eek: WHAT?!? You've lived here a long time...YOU shouldn't need a cheat sheet.... http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/4.gif



mary - .....didn't she tell them she only BORROWED a PEN and the owner of said pen should be in trouble as he/she is the one who brought it to school to begin with?!?!?!?grrrrrrrrrr - let us know how you make out with the principal.



I agree ::yes::


Ok went to the :teacher: School to see the Dean of the grade and the AP. The school rules are that it is considered a weapon and that well as long as there was possion they have to suspend her . The AP was actually sympathatic with the situation as there were 6 kids involved and most of them said that my DD only had it for 5 min to write with . There were other kids that were suspended longer and for more of a serious infraction . I am glad it wasn't her . She will have to spend the day with him for her suspension on Friday. It will come off her record at the end of the year and she will be OK with the high schools then . I was glad to hear that and happy to see that he had no idea who my DD was and told me that she has always done the right thing there and he was supprised to see that it was her . Made me feel better about the whole ordeal.
She was so nervous she almost cried :sad1: when he called her to come to the office to see us . It mad me feel a little sad that she was really that nervous being in his office. Everything is all better now but she is still going to be punished . Just on the principal of being suspended .


That was quick! Glad they 'took it easier' on her...especially if she didn't know it was a 'weapon'....how again is a laser pen a weapon? :confused3 Anyhow....lesson learned: bring yer own pen! :teeth: In my eyes, a minor (needless) offense and it sounds like she got the beegeezus scared outta her...so, the end of the year, it comes off her record....all will be right! :goodvibes

[damo]

Tracie ... I have the Cheat sheet were you looking for it or was Tammy ?? :confused3

Ok off to clean up a little and maybe get in a nap. :cloud9:

Be back later .

I guess they just have to follow the rules. I remember when my son got suspended for a day because he had wrote in a note something stupid about "getting rid of the girls". Well, he was only ten and it was just a figure of speech and he is the most placid kid you could ever meet. However, rules are rules and he served his sentence. It was funny because he, too, had to spend the day in the principal's office and the teachers would come in and tease him because he was such a goody goody. It is funny now that we look back at it but it wasn't funny then.

Oh-my-good-Lord. :worship: :worship: You are my hero!

Good luck on your job interview, Penny!

P.S. Really, really, I know I'm going to burn. I'm evil to be annoyed at my cousin's wife. Perhaps my exhaustion and annoyance would be better explained if I told you this makes time #4 that I've had to tell her that she cannot send her umpteen sonogram pictures to my work email. She doesn't zip them, and they come across as huge files. Huge files are always flagged by the server. Her friggin excitement is going to get me fired.

[bubba's mom]

Huge files are always flagged by the server. Her friggin excitement is going to get me fired.

Did you tell HER this??? Tell her if she gets you fired, and you can't afford to keep your home, tell her you are moving in with them :rotfl2:

Maybe that'll make her stop :confused3

[dolPhinlovEr83]

Coastermom: I am a :teacher: , and yes, rules must be followed. Of course the stories that the students say are listened to, and that usually results in a lesser sentence, as it did in your DD's case. Great to hear it will also be taken off of her record at the end of the year! No worries, but it's good to hear that some students are still nervous and intimidated about going to the principal's office. That's nto so true for all students nowadays.

Barb: I guess P-Fin is a winner :yay:

Tlinus: Thank you for the warm welcome :grouphug:

[AlexandNessa]

Did you tell HER this??? Tell her if she gets you fired, and you can't afford to keep your home, tell her you are moving in with them :rotfl2:

Yes, but she is too excited to care.

[marciemi]

Okay, I know you thought I'd never find you again! ;)

Not sure what the deal was there. I did notice that Phantom had given the link to the new thread, but didn't realize that the old one was closed. So I just kept getting that there were no new posts and continued merrily along my way! :rolleyes1

After a bit, I realized this didn't make sense, so went to the Universal Board directly (I never do this - just link from my User CP) and found the 3 thread. I read the 4 pages or so that I'd missed, and since I didn't have a chance to reply then, I just subscribed.

Only to find out that it evidently didn't work, because I STILL kept getting that there were no new replies, but when I went in, I'd missed several pages!

So anyways, you all can relax now. I've stumbled over here and hopefully now that I'm replying, I'll get the notifications!

WELCOME pfin!!!!!!:cheer2: Yeah, just what we need - more young'uns to make us feel old! ;) (Just kidding, in case that's not obvious!)

Thumb is doing better today. Seems like as long as I take Motrin and keep it taped, it's okay. It doesn't hurt to move the thumb as a whole, just to try to bend it at all. So now I'm down to an ace bandage, which keeps it from bending. It's still swollen, purple and painful, but definitely improving! :thumbsup2

In case you were wondering which things are virtually impossible to do without a thumb, they include opening anything that requires pulling with both hands (seemed like everything for dinner last night, Ziploc bags, etc.) and stupid bra straps. Sorry, but there's no way to do it other than to hook the bra and then wiggle into it! Yeah, great visual, right?! :rotfl: All I can say is Thank Goodness it's my left hand!

[marciemi]

Okay, I'm at work so I have to keep the posts somewhat short in case someone comes back. Boss is out of town :cool1: and everyone else is at a meeting, but who knows for how long! Incidentally, I did tell the boss about the jury duty and he and nearly everyone else around here seem to think the odds are that you'll be there maybe one of the 4 days. As far as making up work, I pretty much told him I'd do what I could that week, (so if I miss a day, I can make it up Friday easily), but if I miss more, then I'd just let him know and he could deduct the hours and not pay me. He was pretty much like "whatever, we'll worry about it then", so I'm just going with what I said!

Anyways, I'm amazed that the school would suspend someone for a stupid laser pointer - especially if they weren't the one to bring it in in the first place and they were a good student. After what we've gone through in our old district, it seems like it takes a WHOLE lot to get you suspended. If anyone would like to read my very retro thread (from over 3 years ago) of our ordeal when Matt was in 7th grade, here's the link:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=716968

Basic summary for those of you who don't want to was that a kid brought a knife into class, held it against Matt's throat, but because the boy was "only kidding" :confused: he only got suspended for like a week. There was much more to the story, but I was just quite confused by the whole "zero tolerance" for weapons.

Had a similar problem in Eric's school (in a different district). In third grade, there was a boy in their class who would lose his temper (this was in a gifted program!) and bite people. After it happened the third time (twice to his best friend), the parents were in a bit of an uproar. Generally the kid just got sent home for the rest of the day. Just fairly ridiculous! They never did actually "suspend" the kid - even after several fights after that. And lucky Eric ended up with this kid in his class every year from 2nd to 5th grade. Fortunately he never had a problem with him - probably because he was smart enough to never go near him.

But I guess I haven't had the same experiences with the schools enforcing the rules!

[the Dark Marauder]

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
where do you come up with those great pics???
they are a hoot.:laughing:
Google. :worship: :worship:

[marciemi]

Wow - I just went through and read my thread again. Final summary was that both boys ended up back and school, and one even was on Matt's basketball team that year. He never had a problem with them again, but it certainly wasn't the weapon=expulsion stuff you always read about with the kid who accidentally had a plastic butter knife in his lunch or whatever!

Anyways, I'm trying to catch back up here. Penny - I guess I didn't remember that you were looking for a new job. Are you the one who quit the last one just a month or so ago? I remember someone talking about it! Good luck on the interview! And how are you coming on the books? Finished them all yet? I'm on about my 10th time through them, although I just bought the 3rd one yesterday and DS has claimed it so I have to grab and read it whenever he's not looking!

Jodie - I understand what you mean about the pics. I have a friend who's pregnant and has set up a blog so you can go see the weekly pictures of how "fat" she's getting. Told her my belly is much fatter and I'm not pregnant. Not surprisingly, I wasn't the first person to tell her that! Yes, it's exciting, and yes the technology is so much further than it was when I had my kids, but ultrasounds still look like blobs to me!

But I agree to at least tell her to keep it to your home account so you don't get in trouble at work. That should be TOO hard for her to understand, no matter how thrilled she is!

Okay, I'm scrolling through. Jury duty - I did call the audiologist who told me that the docs don't like to write anything for it. I explained that I wasn't looking for an excuse, but more of an explanation and she said she'd look into it. She recommended I say "What?" a lot! ;)

Sharon - I'm sorry I never got to respond regarding your pics. Just awesome! I can't believe that with that few girls on the squad, they could talk the boys into hot pink, but maybe that's just me! :rotfl2: Sounds like a lot of fun. I can't believe they don't do anything like that around here.

[bubba's mom]

Okay, I know you thought I'd never find you again! ;)

So anyways, you all can relax now. I've stumbled over here and hopefully now that I'm replying, I'll get the notifications!


Don't fret Marcie...we knew we wouldn't lose you.... ;)

Glad to hear thumb isn't as hurtful....



Jodie - I understand what you mean about the pics. I have a friend who's pregnant and has set up a blog so you can go see the weekly pictures of how "fat" she's getting. Told her my belly is much fatter and I'm not pregnant. Not surprisingly, I wasn't the first person to tell her that!

:lmao:

:idea: Now JODIE...here's an idea....guessing you can't change your work email address, so email her and tell her you no longer have access to that email account, and give her another one. It doesn't matter if you need to create a new one JUST FOR HER...that way, when you got mail, it's either from her or spam...ya won't haveta worry. Just give her another email to replace the work one with....you'll have to put your foot down eventually...you don't want to get fired....;)

Okay, I'm scrolling through. Jury duty - I did call the audiologist who told me that the docs don't like to write anything for it. I explained that I wasn't looking for an excuse, but more of an explanation and she said she'd look into it. She recommended I say "What?" a lot! ;)




:lmao: huh? :lmao:

Mary....haven't been to BGVA since I was a kid...don't remember IT, let alone hotels...sorry....

Glad you are feeling better.... when Bubba had his pinkeye (all them years ago) the doctor told me that as soon as you start the eyedrops (cuz they are antibiotics) you are not contagious....You should be fine to go back to work...24 hrs. is up anyway.... :thumbsup2

[bubba's mom]

RATS!!! I owe you all a story...don't I???

(sorry...forgot...again! :headache: )

Okay...here goes.

On Sunday early afternoon, I mention to Bubba about getting his chores done (because he didn't do anything but lay around and play a little on Saturday and Sunday was looking to be the same :headache: )

He tends to let his "once a week" chores 'go' till Saturday...which are: clean his room up (which, only takes 5 minutes cuz he really doesn't "mess it up") ,vacuum the living/dining room, sweep kitchen floor and vacuum his room and the hallway upstairs. (None of these areas are big, and if I would do it [and we all know how much more thorough a mother is than a 9 yr old], it would take me 10-15 minutes.)

Well...you guessed it...he bellyached about it. I told him we all have things we don't want to do...but have to do so our household functions. I explained we have to eat, we need clean clothes...etc... Well, he got the bright idea that grocery shopping was easier than vacuuming... :confused3 :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao: So, I made him an offer: I'd do all his sweeping and vacuuming IF he went to the grocery store for me....Sort of a "chore swap" if you will ;)

He looked at me with a blank face and said, "But I can't drive."

I said, "I'll drive you."

He replied, "I don't have enough money."

My reply:"I'll pay. I will drive you and pay, but that is it. YOU are pushing the cart. Using the shopping list and getting things off the shelf and putting them in the cart. Scanning and bagging everything. Putting everything in the car AND bringing it all into the house."

"Okay." he says. http://bestsmileys.com/doh/1.gif

So...off we go.

He checks the list (which, I write up the items I need in the order they are in the store...when you have been going to the same store every week for 14 years, you have a tendency to have the store "memorized" :headache: ) and the first thing he needs is 3 oranges.... not 3 BAGS, but 3 INDIVIDUAL oranges.

Not a problem...sorta. He finds the 'bags' and it took him a few minutes to locate the individual ones behind him. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/rolleyes007.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) Then, I tell him what he is looking for (but, do not touch any....)

Okay...after 'finding' 3 oranges, and it taking 5 minutes (literally), I decide that it might be interesting to find out how long this whole ordeal is going to take. Normally, I am in and out of the store in 45 minutes.

So, we go through the store....he kept trying to zigzag all over the place, and I had to keep reminding him the shopping list was 'in order' he would come across the items in the store. :headache:

He did very well....even ordered lunchmeat :thumbsup2

Got milk and finished up.

We get to the self-scan checkout..luckily it's not busy, and a scannin' he goes. The scanner said "The lane is nearly full. Please proceed to the end and bag some of your items." Well, the confused look on his face was :rotfl2: Told him to do what it said. (Reminded him to get paper, not plastic.)

He did a good job bagging the food...(had to remind him to keep the cold stuff together tho.) I must admit, I probably looked like the meanest Mom in the world..just standing there while my little boy was doing all the work! :rolleyes1 I did apologize to the lady behind me and explained we were "swapping chores" that day....she thought it was funny and a great idea...she wasn't in any hurry.... thank goodness!!

By the time he was finished bagging everything and getting it all into the cart...I checked the stopwatch time that I had set on my phone (after taking 5 minutes to pick out 3 oranges :headache: )...we were in the store 1 hour 20 minutes :headache: :rotfl: (took twice as long with him doing it...but for NOT knowing where anything in the store is...he did real well.... i was proud of him :teeth: )

Then, we got home and he unpacked the car. DH put the groceries away (as he usually does) and I asked Bubba if grocery shopping was better than vacuuming. He said yes...and I reminded him, that in the time it took for him to go shopping, he could have done ALL his chores 3 times and still had time to have a buddy over to play :rolleyes:

Wonder what will happen next weekend popcorn::



Hope that wasn't terribly boring...but, it was comical...I had a great time! :laughing:

[ky07]

RATS!!! I owe you all a story...don't I???

(sorry...forgot...again! :headache: )

Okay...here goes.

On Sunday early afternoon, I mention to Bubba about getting his chores done (because he didn't do anything but lay around and play a little on Saturday and Sunday was looking to be the same :headache: )

He tends to let his "once a week" chores 'go' till Saturday...which are: clean his room up (which, only takes 5 minutes cuz he really doesn't "mess it up") ,vacuum the living/dining room, sweep kitchen floor and vacuum his room and the hallway upstairs. (None of these areas are big, and if I would do it [and we all know how much more thorough a mother is than a 9 yr old], it would take me 10-15 minutes.)

Well...you guessed it...he bellyached about it. I told him we all have things we don't want to do...but have to do so our household functions. I explained we have to eat, we need clean clothes...etc... Well, he got the bright idea that grocery shopping was easier than vacuuming... :confused3 :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao: So, I made him an offer: I'd do all his sweeping and vacuuming IF he went to the grocery store for me....Sort of a "chore swap" if you will ;)

He looked at me with a blank face and said, "But I can't drive."

I said, "I'll drive you."

He replied, "I don't have enough money."

My reply:"I'll pay. I will drive you and pay, but that is it. YOU are pushing the cart. Using the shopping list and getting things off the shelf and putting them in the cart. Scanning and bagging everything. Putting everything in the car AND bringing it all into the house."

"Okay." he says. http://bestsmileys.com/doh/1.gif

So...off we go.

He checks the list (which, I write up the items I need in the order they are in the store...when you have been going to the same store every week for 14 years, you have a tendency to have the store "memorized" :headache: ) and the first thing he needs is 3 oranges.... not 3 BAGS, but 3 INDIVIDUAL oranges.

Not a problem...sorta. He finds the 'bags' and it took him a few minutes to locate the individual ones behind him. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/rolleyes007.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) Then, I tell him what he is looking for (but, do not touch any....)

Okay...after 'finding' 3 oranges, and it taking 5 minutes (literally), I decide that it might be interesting to find out how long this whole ordeal is going to take. Normally, I am in and out of the store in 45 minutes.

So, we go through the store....he kept trying to zigzag all over the place, and I had to keep reminding him the shopping list was 'in order' he would come across the items in the store. :headache:

He did very well....even ordered lunchmeat :thumbsup2

Atleast you can get buba to do something for you Barb my two Ds's won't even clean thier room until we do alot of yelling and don't even get me started on the oldest going on 17 and acts like a 3 year old and wants to run the streets with his buddies :headache: and you think he give old dad a break nope mister almost 17 likes to think he is already an adult and tell me what to do and I just sit back and tell him I have done more in my lifetime than he will ever think of and after calming down day dream bout how close it is till we come to Orlando :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[bubba's mom]

Do your sons get an allowance Lawrence?

I need to teach my son that there are some things you HAVE to do to make a household run....and take responsibility for these things. His allowance is for doing them and teaching him about money. When he misses 1 chore for the day, he doesn't get paid for that entire day!

I'm sure you can think up an 'incentive' system for their chores..... either that, or they are gonna be looking at the inside walls for a long time. :eek:

My son has learned 'respect' and we expect him to exhibit it each and every day. Matter of fact, one day Bubba made an off the cuff comment to me and apparently the 'tone' and 'attitude' of it didn't sit well with DH... :confused3 I thought it was fine...but DH is BIG on Bubba respecting adults (and others)..with not only his words, but his actions too.

Must be doin' something right, I have gotten compliments on how 'good' a child he is....:confused3

I do try to make sure I know his thoughts on things...I want to know what is going thru his head...kinda like 'his side of the story' ;) I feel communication is an important part of raising a good kid....something my Mom didn't have with me. Everytime I had something to say, she'd say, "I don't want to hear any backtalk" :headache: :confused3 (Try to learn from Ma's mistakes...and I must be cuz even Ma says I'm doing a good job w/ Bubba...even better than she did w/ us :rolleyes1 )

[bubba's mom]

:idea: I'm goin' to Tricia's for Easter morning!! She must have hit the jackpot Easter bunny shopping :banana:

She didn't wake anyone or say goodbye to anyone before she started her busy day today.....she's gonna be http://bestsmileys.com/fainting/1.gif tonite :guilty:

No they don't get an allowance for that reason they don't want to work for it and my mil is at fault for that cause the oldest ds is her pick and is given what ever he wants and the youngest if he asks her for anything she screams at him but I told her all this will come back and haunt her :dance3:

No offense Lawrence...but your MIL needs to step aside and let you parent your kids. They aren't learning anything except Grandma will give them whatever they want :sad2:

OR...try this...your younger son can earn more money that Grandma is dishin' out to the older one if he is responsible and can handle chores... :idea:

I say, if she really wants to give them something, have HER pay them for their chores....or bank it ;)

I have a friend whose MIL tries to be a parent to her kids...it's not pretty in her household. Her daughters are 14 & 15 and she tried to teach them chores...for example, cleaning windows. The MIL will hear none of it :sad2: She just accuses my friend of being a bad mother...MAKING her girls clean the house.... Well, how does she expect them to LEARN to keep a house if she doesn't expose them to it??? I just be a good friend and give her my ear and my shoulder :rolleyes: ...sad situation she's in.... :sad2: (oh, and her MIL lives in MIL apartment attached to the other side of their garage :headache: )

[Metro West]

I'm proud of myself today. From the hours of 7am and 3:30pm, I only had three cigarettes at those were at lunch. I'm trying to cut back so I don't have to worry about the smoking ban coming in July and then I'll try to quit completely. But...first things first.

[keishashadow]

all this talk about NOT smoking makes me want to fire one up:idea: :rotfl: jk; keep us posted guys it's hard...took me more attempts than i care to remember.:thumbsup2

youngest DS was feeling yucky last night, came home literally green after skool...stomach virus i suppose. Gave him some immodium & tucked him in on the couch...he's been sleeping for over 2 hours...through the dogs barking, phone ringing...so much sickness still around-weird.

barb :laughing: quality time in the market - who knew? anyone else have a hubby who get frisky when u shop:confused3 ; i get annoyed spending the money on food...where's the fun in that? bubba's going to be a great catch for some lucky girl...a long time in the future (she better like Florida;) )

well, what's up with this month?http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/notallthere.gif ran out of money & still bills to pay:upsidedow ; into my vacation stash i trudgehttp://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/cry.gif

This drives me CRAZY at work. It really is the shredder. We had one that was fine - it might drop a few pieces but that was it. It broke and we got a new one. I don't care if you empty this thing after each piece you shred, half of it ends up not in the bin and then sticks all over the outside and bottom of it, and of course then falls to the floor as you walk to empty it. We really need to invest in a dustbuster for the office - once garage sale season kicks off, I'll start keeping my eyes open!

Oldest DS called to say he'd need a ride home after jazz band today because his girlfriend went home sick. By the time I picked him up, he was complaining about how sick he was. Wow - what are the odds?! ;)

Thats great metro you got me beat by 1 and have to say think I am doing good when you consider that by this time of day I usually have 1 pack smoked and started on the second :goodvibes

[RVGal]

Good idea swapping me french guys!!! Do I have any points yet?

Glad you approve. We didn't know what else to do while you were away. I think Carpentier has 100 points or so.


Blame it on the trouble makers breaking in the new place early. We had to move out of the old place early & sign the papers here to keep them out of jail. :sad2: Someday Mac's just going to have to make an example out of them & let them see how they like spending the night with the other criminals. :laughing:


:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I just can't keep up with you people :)
I haven't been here since Friday, had a 22 hour day Friday with my day job and a sound gig in Allentown (about an hour drive). (From the time I got up at 5:30AM Friday until I got home and into bed Sat at 3:30AM). Anyway, then I had a long session in the studio Saturday, and yesterday I had a Gospel band with a 9 member choir, haven't recorded that style in a while, they were great, but it was a lot of work! So, after the weekend, then going to my day job today, I came home and crashed! I knew there would be a lot to Ketchup on, but WOW!!!!!

Anyway, I'm alive and lurking!
G'night all, time to crash again.

Good to see you Mike! Don't let keeping up keep you from posting. We'll give you one of Jodie's all purpose free passes. She has an unlimited supply.

Honey, I'm home! We had a fabulous and very successful show & weekend! Thanks for all the well wishes.

I have to try to catch up from page 208 in our previous home. Don't know If I will ever get that done. And there are already 5 full pages here!

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. If anyone took cliff notes for me please forward them my way.

I need to head to bed but wanted to let you all know I am home safe.

Talk to you all tomorrow! Sweet sleep everyone!

Welcome back Lori!!! Come back and tell us all about your weekend.



::yes:: I love it...I nominate PFin! :thumbsup2 Anyone second???

I'm late with the nomination, but I say sisters K-Fed and P-Fin works for me!

Good night homies going to bed I guess in a jittery mood cause smoked my last smoke for the day which I guess isn't too bad when ya consider I am a 2 pack a day guy and only smoked 1/2 pack today so hopefully I can keep it going so keep your fingers crossed :lmao: :lmao:

Sounds like you're doing great Lawrence! Keep it up!



ok, i have been mia due to a personal problem the last 24 hours, but was able to set this continuation thread in motion before i had to check out.


Are you allowed to have personal problems? I don't think you asked for permission. :snooty:

[Akdar]

I stopped by work tonite (don't ask :headache: ) and we have a commercial running on the local radio station (y102) and the DJ was in over the weekend for Hydration Station treatment and tan session. She mentioned we have the only Hydration Station in the entire area....definately a plus :thumbsup2 Heard the commercial while there...was very good and quite funny actually...(she's a very lighthearted DJ)

Barb, what is the place you work at called? I'll listen for the commercial, they usually have Y102 on at the Post office.

I did get airfare home, it was $168, down from $188. I'm still checking every day, and I'll jump on a cheaper fare for the same flight if it comes up, and then use the credit in October :thumbsup2

[Akdar]

mike so good to see you here.
did you see on the csw thread about the survey?
a new one that was listed on other boards but not on csw this time.
i took it and hope they read it.

sounds like you are really busy with the recording groups.
i would have loved to have heard the gospel group you mentioned.
.

Hey Mac
Yeah, I saw mention of the new survey, but I didn't get an email from Universal about it like I did the last one??? Then again, I just read the CSW emails quickly to stay caught up, I might have missed something as far as the survey goes??
Regarding the song, once we get the song mixed and they get the copyright stuff taken care of, I'm sure I'll have a link I can send you to give it a listen!

one more thing....


someone asked about the mickey events.

it is now official on dates:




MNSSHP and MVMCP Dates Announced
The party dates for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party have been announced. Tickets go on sale May 1 for both parties. As of yet, it hasn't been announced which dates will have advanced purchase discounts, or what those discounts will be. We will be sure to follow up with another news blurb as soon as prices are announced. Party dates are as follows:
MNSSHP: September 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 26, 28, 30; October 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28, 30, 31
MVMCP: November 10, 11, 14, 16, 20, 21, 30; December 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19

Thank you, thank you. We still haven't pulled the trigger on dates. I'm trying to figure out what next years school calendar is. If I can time it right, Joshua would only miss a few days of school instead of a whole week. I'm not that worried about it. He's a good kid in school and won't fall behind or anything, still it would be nice if we can time it for the week where he'd get a couple of days off anyway.


evidently, somebody has messed with my computers type set:rolleyes1 must tell family-not April Fool's Day yet; even the #1 setting here is huge...as in my home page...only took me a 1/2 hour to notice...more coffee required pronto.:laughing:


I don't know what they did, but your type looks tiny to me.:magnify:

Yes, the title of my latest email this morning was "WELCOME LANDON JEREMY!!" with about 4 sonogram pictures attached. Yes, "welcome" but the baby won't be here for 4.5 months. Second of all ... Landon? You want a quarterback and you're giving your poor child the first name of Landon? Landon? Really? Was that their "cute" way of announcing the baby name? Frankly, I find Landon obnoxiously preppy, but then again, I don't have kids for a reason. Am I really posting this on a message board?

Landon, huh? I can't get past thinking of Michael Landon to even seriously think about the name. I've got Little House on the Prarie reruns going through my head now...

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe -big fav in our house said it well
so long and thanks for all the fish:banana:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojydNb3Lrrs

OMG! The Hitchhikers's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and So Long and Thanks for All the Fish are among my favorite books of all time. I love the bit at the front of Restaurant. Something to the effect of, There are those that believe that if we ever answer all the questions of the universe, it will immediately disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and impossible to understand.

And then there are those that believe that this has already happened.

I love the creatures that believe that they were sneezed from the nose of a giant and live in constant fear of the "Day of the Coming of the Great Handkercheif". :rotfl:



tricia - Good Luck Easter Bunny!!!



Easter Bunny is done! Easter Bunny ran out of money, so Easter Bunny is done!


Ok went to the :teacher: School to see the Dean of the grade and the AP. The school rules are that it is considered a weapon and that well as long as there was possion they have to suspend her . The AP was actually sympathatic with the situation as there were 6 kids involved and most of them said that my DD only had it for 5 min to write with . There were other kids that were suspended longer and for more of a serious infraction . I am glad it wasn't her . She will have to spend the day with him for her suspension on Friday. It will come off her record at the end of the year and she will be OK with the high schools then . I was glad to hear that and happy to see that he had no idea who my DD was and told me that she has always done the right thing there and he was supprised to see that it was her . Made me feel better about the whole ordeal.
She was so nervous she almost cried :sad1: when he called her to come to the office to see us . It mad me feel a little sad that she was really that nervous being in his office. Everything is all better now but she is still going to be punished . Just on the principal of being suspended .


Okay, I knew laser pointers could be annoying, but unless they are mounted to the sight of a gun how are they a weapon? I missed something somewhere. Glad she got the minimal punishment. Sometimes they won't take individual circumstances into consideration.

cross your fingers! Job interview wednesday!

Good luck Penny! I'm crossing everything I can cross for you!


Here's your cliffnotes:

ETA: that was great timing!! I JUST finished posting this when they called me for my car....inspection passed


:worship: :worship: That was amazing cliff notes. You should give yourself a Golden Homie for that one!

Glad to hear you passed. We'd hate to take up bail money in this crowd AGAIN. ;) :lmao:


Huge files are always flagged by the server. Her friggin excitement is going to get me fired.

You have to make that clear. Ask her if she has your work email saved to a "group" that she mass emails. Tell her to take it off. Give her another email to substitute (like Barb said, even if you create a freebie one with Yahoo or whatever). Make it a "I really want to get the emails, but I can't risk getting in trouble at work" kinda thing. She might get pissy (pregnant woman... hormones... who knows...), but she should correct it and get over it.



Barb: I guess P-Fin is a winner :yay:



P-Fin it is. Are you a swim coach too?

Okay, I know you thought I'd never find you again! ;)


There's one missing duckling. We have others. Do we start PMs to make sure we don't lose anyone.

I'm glad the thumb is better Marcie. For some reason, I have a mental picture of that Far Side cartoon where the cows are sitting in their living room and the phone rings. "There goes that thing again and here we sit without apposable thumbs." :laughing:

[Metro West]

Thats great metro you got me beat by 1 and have to say think I am doing good when you consider that by this time of day I usually have 1 pack smoked and started on the second :goodvibes Thanks Lawrence...as I said, the only thing I'm trying to do now is not smoking at work w/o it bothering me...then I'll work on quitting. Today wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and hopefully it won't be going forward.

[dolPhinlovEr83]

I hear you cause trust me this is not my first go around with trying to quit and I have been smoking for about almost 25 years so its not like I am going to be able to quit in a few days but I will give it my all and thanks to everyone for the encouragement :hug:

marci - what's that, cannot hear you;) ,


:lmao:

Jury duty - I did call the audiologist who told me that the docs don't like to write anything for it. I explained that I wasn't looking for an excuse, but more of an explanation and she said she'd look into it. She recommended I say "What?" a lot! ;)


I got called for jury duty once for the local (state) and once for federal (downtown Atlanta). I served on the federal case jury and I enjoyed it. Fascinating stuff. A Secret Service agent went undercover after receiving a tip that a telemarketing list man was going bankrupt and trying to sell his information (including credit card numbers) to the highest bidder. Agent was wired when the official transaction went down. That was... 1990 or so? Seemed way cool to me.

So now that our excitement is over for today I was wondering ??Anyone know of a nice ,clean hotel near Bush Gardens in VA?? I think it is Bush Gardens Europe now . :confused3 ... I am going to plan out our summer trips this year and looking around for a nice place to stay. We haven't been to that area in a long time so any advice??:confused3


I went to the Busch Gardens in Virginia in 1989 and we stayed at a lovely old fashioned Best Western. I doubt that helps you one teeny tiny bit. :guilty:

RATS!!! I owe you all a story...don't I???

Wonder what will happen next weekend popcorn::

Hope that wasn't terribly boring...but, it was comical...I had a great time! :laughing:



Not boring at all! :rotfl:

Joshua would LOVE that! He already carries my list and tells me what we need next, then crosses it off after we pick it up. He takes that job VERY seriously. We don't get to scan and bag our own groceries. I bet Bubba had a great time. If he thought it was more fun that spending a few minutes with the vacuum, he MUST have had a great time!

I just sit back and tell him I have done more in my lifetime than he will ever think of and after calming down day dream bout how close it is till we come to Orlando :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

:cloud9: :cloud9: A good thing to dream about!

:idea: I'm goin' to Tricia's for Easter morning!! She must have hit the jackpot Easter bunny shopping :banana:

She didn't wake anyone or say goodbye to anyone before she started her busy day today.....she's gonna be http://bestsmileys.com/fainting/1.gif tonite :guilty:



Tired. Very tired. Freaking tired. But trying to be a good girl and ketchup.

Hello all again ..

I did not come on last night as I was too tired and not feeling too well either . All this and my DD12 is going to be suspended from school to boot. :mad: She borrowed a pen in school which had a laser pointer on it and that is considered a weapon. So off I go to see the dean today at 10 AM. Not only am I annoyed at her for being so dumb but I am just as annoyed at the school. Never mind the phone thing a few weeks ago but it really is just a pen that she borrowed and she didn't even know it was a weapon. AHHHH I need a :grouphug: . I thought this was suppose to be getting better as they got older not WORSE !;)

So I also vote to STOP THE WORLD because I want off now too .

I have got to get my stuff together now and I will post later to let everyone know how I did at :teacher: . I hope that it goes smoothly .
...



yea, it gets worse.
but the bright side is all crimes done by them before age 18, doesn't go on a permanent record.

that counts jail time also.

in illinois, cases are not releasable with minors on criminal acts.



i have been thru the boys getting suspended before.
it's a real trip.




Ok went to the :teacher: School to see the Dean of the grade and the AP. The school rules are that it is considered a weapon and that well as long as there was possion they have to suspend her . The AP was actually sympathatic with the situation as there were 6 kids involved and most of them said that my DD only had it for 5 min to write with . There were other kids that were suspended longer and for more of a serious infraction . I am glad it wasn't her . She will have to spend the day with him for her suspension on Friday. It will come off her record at the end of the year and she will be OK with the high schools then . I was glad to hear that and happy to see that he had no idea who my DD was and told me that she has always done the right thing there and he was supprised to see that it was her . Made me feel better about the whole ordeal.
She was so nervous she almost cried :sad1: when he called her to come to the office to see us . It mad me feel a little sad that she was really that nervous being in his office. Everything is all better now but she is still going to be punished . Just on the principal of being suspended .


Ok off to clean up a little and maybe get in a nap. :cloud9:

Be back later .


think of it this way.
15 years from now, no one will care about a grade school suspension.
when people say it goes on your permanent record, don't believe it.


and for the kids that get a few d's in skool, after college, no one cares about high school grades.


that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

cross your fingers! Job interview wednesday!


crossing everything i own for you penny.......


Google. :worship: :worship:

that's not what i meant.
i google all the time.
your stuff is neat.

Wow - I just went through and read my thread again. Final summary was that both boys ended up back and school, and one even was on Matt's basketball team that year. He never had a problem with them again, but it certainly wasn't the weapon=expulsion stuff you always read about with the kid who accidentally had a plastic butter knife in his lunch or whatever!

Anyways, I'm trying to catch back up here. Penny - I guess I didn't remember that you were looking for a new job. Are you the one who quit the last one just a month or so ago? I remember someone talking about it! Good luck on the interview! And how are you coming on the books? Finished them all yet? I'm on about my 10th time through them, although I just bought the 3rd one yesterday and DS has claimed it so I have to grab and read it whenever he's not looking!

Jodie - I understand what you mean about the pics. I have a friend who's pregnant and has set up a blog so you can go see the weekly pictures of how "fat" she's getting. Told her my belly is much fatter and I'm not pregnant. Not surprisingly, I wasn't the first person to tell her that! Yes, it's exciting, and yes the technology is so much further than it was when I had my kids, but ultrasounds still look like blobs to me!

But I agree to at least tell her to keep it to your home account so you don't get in trouble at work. That should be TOO hard for her to understand, no matter how thrilled she is!

Okay, I'm scrolling through. Jury duty - I did call the audiologist who told me that the docs don't like to write anything for it. I explained that I wasn't looking for an excuse, but more of an explanation and she said she'd look into it. She recommended I say "What?" a lot! ;)

Sharon - I'm sorry I never got to respond regarding your pics. Just awesome! I can't believe that with that few girls on the squad, they could talk the boys into hot pink, but maybe that's just me! :rotfl2: Sounds like a lot of fun. I can't believe they don't do anything like that around here.



huh........

So now that our excitement is over for today I was wondering ??Anyone know of a nice ,clean hotel near Bush Gardens in VA?? I think it is Bush Gardens Europe now . :confused3 ...

[macraven]

just on the computer for first time today.
had an application problem and was on with apple tech to correct it.

worked today and got the puter fixed up and made dinner.

i need to post more on what i read but need to get ready for american idol.

[RVGal]

Sorry you're having a bad day....maybe some adult beverage make you feel better? :scratchin



I don't think Penny does adult beverages. She just laughs at us when we have ours. Maybe we should indulge and make her laugh. :idea:

I'm proud of myself today. From the hours of 7am and 3:30pm, I only had three cigarettes at those were at lunch. I'm trying to cut back so I don't have to worry about the smoking ban coming in July and then I'll try to quit completely. But...first things first.

I'm proud of you too Todd! :cheer2:



youngest DS was feeling yucky last night, came home literally green after skool...stomach virus i suppose. Gave him some immodium & tucked him in on the couch...he's been sleeping for over 2 hours...through the dogs barking, phone ringing...so much sickness still around-weird.

well, what's up with this month?http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/notallthere.gif ran out of money & still bills to pay:upsidedow ; into my vacation stash i trudgehttp://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/cry.gif

I hope DS feels better soon. Stomach stuff is yucky.

When you run out of money, you're supposed to stop paying bills... right? :confused3

Sure Am!!! Our teams actually compete against one another too

Oh, yeah! Duh. Katie has mentioned that before. I think she even mentioned beating your team a time... or two... :rolleyes1

[RVGal]

Well, dang people. So much for not cluttering up the new place. Sheesh. I am caught up for now... until Barb comes back to ketchup on my ketchup... or whatever.

I am exhausted. Did all the running around. Easter Bunny is done. Been trying to help Joshua get unstuck on Super Smash Bros and I am NO GOOD at the fighting games. Mario Party I can kick butt on, but the ones where you actually have to kick butt... not so much.

I'm off to sit very still and not think much until bedtime.

Night!

[wwessing]

Been working 11 hour days for a big project.

YEAH CHIKEZIE (for those of you watching Idol)

Sorry to those who've posted some important stuff and I've missed. . .I'm a loser. . . but I've been thinking about you all.

Gotta spend what little time I have between work and sleep with kidlets. . .just completed a homework battle and now start with showers.

Next few weeks going to be rough :sad2: but I keep looking past the project and knowing it will end gets me through.

Me an Alli still hanging tough. . .

[AlexandNessa]

I think she meant the cat....but what a post?!?! :confused3

Sweet Lord, Clarice. Someone lock Katie in the Romper Room, and pronto.

[damo]

I love that so many people are trying to quit smoking. Doncha wish you could shake some sense into those kids who are just starting????



Go Jason!

I hear ya! I've never seen my kids so anxious to come home and do chores and homework hmmmm....has to be the New Smash Brothers that's got em moving that fast!!!

[Metro West]

I'm proud of you too Todd! :cheer2:
Thanks Tricia. :teeth:

[tarheelmjfan]

Katie, was your signature once very similar to Patty's? Her's looks very familiar. :scratchin


I just can't keep up with you people :)
I haven't been here since Friday, had a 22 hour day Friday with my day job and a sound gig in Allentown (about an hour drive). (From the time I got up at 5:30AM Friday until I got home and into bed Sat at 3:30AM). Anyway, then I had a long session in the studio Saturday, and yesterday I had a Gospel band with a 9 member choir, haven't recorded that style in a while, they were great, but it was a lot of work! So, after the weekend, then going to my day job today, I came home and crashed! I knew there would be a lot to Ketchup on, but WOW!!!!!

Anyway, I'm alive and lurking!
G'night all, time to crash again.


Sounds like you need a vacation.



Honey, I'm home! We had a fabulous and very successful show & weekend! Thanks for all the well wishes.

I have to try to catch up from page 208 in our previous home. Don't know If I will ever get that done. And there are already 5 full pages here!

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. If anyone took cliff notes for me please forward them my way.

I need to head to bed but wanted to let you all know I am home safe.

Talk to you all tomorrow! Sweet sleep everyone!

Welcome back!:wave2: We're patiently waiting for details.:bored:



What's wrong Barb?

I missed most of the day of work today....I went in for 3 hours and had to come home and go to bed. This cold or whatever it is is getting the best of me.....

Are you feeling better? Here's some pixie dust to help you get better soon. pixiedust: Shhh.... Don't tell mom (Mac) I used pixie dust. I'm fresh out of mummy dust till the new stock comes.






http://bestsmileys.com/whisper/1.gif we're in the south...it's warm here ;)

Finally!!! :yay:



Yeah Janet.... :snooty:

Janet??? I don't think so! :rolleyes1



Honestly :confused3 I don't drink it (or much 'beer' for that matter).... it's popular at Margaritaville...and both Janet and Tracie live in PA and distributors are just getting it in now....guessin' it reminds them of UO???

Mom will you make Janet tell us about Landshark? Seems like she's trying to keep that little find to herself. ;) I don't drink beer either, but if it's all that, I just may have to try it. So, spill it Janet!:joker:


ok, i have been mia due to a personal problem the last 24 hours,

Sorry to hear that. :guilty: You know where I am, if you want to talk. :hug:

[tarheelmjfan]

jail, yes, i know that word.
i have stories i could tell you about that but ............

You don't seriously think I'm going to let that slide do you? :rotfl2:



my brother that i am close to and love dearly lives in honolulu.
he moved there in 1990 after he left Thailand

we try to see each other every other year.
last september he came to st louis area/ illinois side though, and stayed with the folks/
it was his turn to come to the states but we had our dates mixed up.
i told him january 07 the florida dates i had and would not be available.
you guessed it.
he came 2 days before my scheduled trip so i couldn't have him up to my place. his plans changed and he had to go to boston on business first.
we didn't get to see each other last year.

i promised him i would come see him this spring.


other than that my bottle of jack is now empty and i have been using spell check.
i leave on the 18th and will be gone 8 days

Awesome trip!!! I'd take Hawaii over cooking Easter dinner any day. ::yes::



jodie didn't come backc aarouendk yet?


i lodkced the doore and the catee is in the baseermnent;\


see youser in somew houres for monw

Is there a translator in the house? :laughing:

[tarheelmjfan]

Barb, great Mommy/Bubba story. :thumbsup2 I'm curious to see what he chooses to do this weekend.



tammy - thanks for asking about the basement - it was not as bad as last winter, so that was a bonus, but still a PITA to clean up:sad2: could you send me the cheat sheet too?? (I am pretty sure Barb sent it to you)

Do you still need the list? If so, PM me. We won't tell Barb. :ssst:


cross your fingers! Job interview wednesday!

Fingers crossed! Good luck! :wizard:





P.S. Really, really, I know I'm going to burn. I'm evil to be annoyed at my cousin's wife. Perhaps my exhaustion and annoyance would be better explained if I told you this makes time #4 that I've had to tell her that she cannot send her umpteen sonogram pictures to my work email. She doesn't zip them, and they come across as huge files. Huge files are always flagged by the server. Her friggin excitement is going to get me fired.

Can you change your work email address, & just ignore emails to the old address? I definitely wouldn't let her put my job in jeopardy. :sad2:


So now that our excitement is over for today I was wondering ??Anyone know of a nice ,clean hotel near Bush Gardens in VA?? I think it is Bush Gardens Europe now . :confused3 ... I am going to plan out our summer trips this year and looking around for a nice place to stay. We haven't been to that area in a long time so any advice??:confused3

I haven't been to that BG, since I lived in VA. Sorry, no help on hotels. We've only stayed in Colonial Williamsburg.


Atleast you can get buba to do something for you Barb my two Ds's won't even clean thier room until we do alot of yelling and don't even get me started on the oldest going on 17 and acts like a 3 year old and wants to run the streets with his buddies :headache: and you think he give old dad a break nope mister almost 17 likes to think he is already an adult and tell me what to do and I just sit back and tell him I have done more in my lifetime than he will ever think of and after calming down day dream bout how close it is till we come to Orlando :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Sounds like typical teenagers to me.

[tarheelmjfan]

Janet, I hope your baby boy is feeling better tomorrow.



I'm proud of myself today. From the hours of 7am and 3:30pm, I only had three cigarettes at those were at lunch. I'm trying to cut back so I don't have to worry about the smoking ban coming in July and then I'll try to quit completely. But...first things first.


Thats great metro you got me beat by 1 and have to say think I am doing good when you consider that by this time of day I usually have 1 pack smoked and started on the second :goodvibes

I'm very proud of both of you! You guys rock! :woohoo:



well, what's up with this month?http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/notallthere.gif ran out of money & still bills to pay:upsidedow ; into my vacation stash i trudgehttp://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/cry.gif


When you run out of money, you're supposed to stop paying bills... right? :confused3

I thought when you ran out of money you were supposed to tell your hubby he needs to make more money. :confused3



Been working 11 hour days for a big project.

YEAH CHIKEZIE (for those of you watching Idol)

Sorry to those who've posted some important stuff and I've missed. . .I'm a loser. . . but I've been thinking about you all.

Enjoy your babies. We won't be going anywhere. Just don't forget where we live now. ;)



Sweet Lord, Clarice. Someone lock Katie in the Romper Room, and pronto.

Don't feel bad Katie. :hug: I don't get it either. :confused:

[bubba's mom]

Well, dang people. So much for not cluttering up the new place. Sheesh. I am caught up for now... until Barb comes back to ketchup on my ketchup... or whatever.

You need ketchup??? :confused3

When Janet's son feels better, he can come over and help him....he won a contest for that game ;)

I'm proud of myself today. From the hours of 7am and 3:30pm, I only had three cigarettes at those were at lunch. I'm trying to cut back so I don't have to worry about the smoking ban coming in July and then I'll try to quit completely. But...first things first.

I am proud of yourself today too :goodvibes You're doing it right...small steps and one thing at a time....


youngest DS was feeling yucky last night, came home literally green after skool...stomach virus i suppose. Gave him some immodium & tucked him in on the couch...he's been sleeping for over 2 hours...through the dogs barking, phone ringing...so much sickness still around-weird.

Hope he feels better after a good nite rest.... :wizard:

barb - quality time in the market - who knew? anyone else have a hubby who get frisky when u shop; i get annoyed spending the money on food...where's the fun in that? bubba's going to be a great catch for some lucky girl...a long time in the future (she better like Florida )

:rotfl2: not me!!! Had no idea he'd enjoy the store quite that much.... :confused3 (I think being able to "Heely" around tho had something to do with it :rolleyes1 ) If my future daughter in law doesn't like FL, she ain't marryin' my kid :snooty: While upbringing the boy, (teaching him respect, consideration, put the seat down, put your clothes IN the dirty hamper, clean up after yourself, etc....) once in a while I'll say to DH, "our future DIL WILL thank me someday" ..........:lmao:

Uh...DH hates shopping .... so, answer to the frisky question would be 'no'.....

well, what's up with this month? ran out of money & still bills to pay; into my vacation stash i trudge

ooohhhh noooooo :scared: Not dippin' into the vacay stash! :scared1: :sad2:

We're actually ahead of the game this month...due to all that OT DH worked couple weeks ago... ;)

Thats great metro you got me beat by 1 and have to say think I am doing good when you consider that by this time of day I usually have 1 pack smoked and started on the second

It's good to see the two of you doing this together...the only "regular" guys here and trying to quit...definately a good support system :thumbsup2

Barb, what is the place you work at called? I'll listen for the commercial, they usually have Y102 on at the Post office.

I did get airfare home, it was $168, down from $188. I'm still checking every day, and I'll jump on a cheaper fare for the same flight if it comes up, and then use the credit in October

Malibu Tanning & Body Care Salon in Shelbourne Shopping Center in Exeter. Still shocked we have the only Hydration Station in the area (and apparently we got it from CA?) Our nearest competition is Mt. Penn (next to Blockbuster shopping center) at the Baja Beach Club....but, they just raised their prices....so, we will 'catch up' as far as clients/business .... :teeth:

Good to hear you got airfare...sounds like a good plan!! With the rate you're paying on the way down...I think you did real good :thumbsup2 (You know you really can't complain, dontcha? :rolleyes: )

I see my sister reading through the boards........

:scratchin ...who will post more often? :rolleyes1


OMG! "It will put the lotion in the bucket." I hate horror movies in general, but I totally loved Silence of the Lambs.

sorry...i had never seen that movie :duck:


Easter Bunny is done! Easter Bunny ran out of money, so Easter Bunny is done!

I wasn't aware the Easter Bunny even HAD money :confused3


Thanks Lawrence...as I said, the only thing I'm trying to do now is not smoking at work w/o it bothering me...then I'll work on quitting. Today wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and hopefully it won't be going forward.


One day atta time.....

[tarheelmjfan]

Sorry, if the TV gets a bit loud. March Madness has arrived, & I'm preoccupied. :yay: If I go MIA, you'll know there's a game on. :happytv: I may not see you again till April. ;)

:lmao: :lmao:

[bubba's mom]

I hear you cause trust me this is not my first go around with trying to quit and I have been smoking for about almost 25 years so its not like I am going to be able to quit in a few days but I will give it my all and thanks to everyone for the encouragement :hug:

Quit for good this time...my Dad was an "on & off again" smoker for more years than that. Out of nowhere he developed lung cancer and died a couple days after surgery....even tho his checkup the year before was clear :confused3



I got called for jury duty once for the local (state) and once for federal (downtown Atlanta). I served on the federal case jury and I enjoyed it. Fascinating stuff. A Secret Service agent went undercover after receiving a tip that a telemarketing list man was going bankrupt and trying to sell his information (including credit card numbers) to the highest bidder. Agent was wired when the official transaction went down. That was... 1990 or so? Seemed way cool to me.

So? Was he guilty??? That DOES sound very interesting..... I served on a jury when I was 19 (this was way back when you registered to vote, they snatched ya then :headache: ). So, here I am, young, stupid, naive and 19 sitting (for a week) on a jury for a MURDER trial! (Dude ended being innocent of 'murder' charges, but got guilty on assault and stuff like that.)

DH had jury duty today....He was home by 12:30 ... bummer...he was really hoping to get picked for the jury. Altho, it was only shoplifting trial and woulda been over today anyhows..... (He was happy to get the day off [for the most part] with pay tho!)


Not boring at all! :rotfl:

Joshua would LOVE that! He already carries my list and tells me what we need next, then crosses it off after we pick it up. He takes that job VERY seriously. We don't get to scan and bag our own groceries. I bet Bubba had a great time. If he thought it was more fun that spending a few minutes with the vacuum, he MUST have had a great time!

When Buds was little, he'd go to the store with me. I didn't know any other 3 yr. old that knew where most of the stuff was in the store...he knew my routine. When he went to preschool, I would drop him off and then head over to the store...alone. Continued that way for many years....until I started working every day of the work week and Saturday...good thing I have Sundays off.....

This is what DH said about the Landshark..... it's a "Margaritaville" brand....it's Jimmy Buffett's Mville beer made in Jacksonville.... ;) (He sez it tastes like Miller :confused3 )

Are you feeling better? Here's some pixie dust to help you get better soon. pixiedust: Shhh.... Don't tell mom (Mac) I used pixie dust. I'm fresh out of mummy dust till the new stock comes.

Mom will you make Janet tell us about Landshark? Seems like she's trying to keep that little find to herself. ;) I don't drink beer either, but if it's all that, I just may have to try it. So, spill it Janet!:joker:

I think I am frightened you are so knowledgeable about this :scared:




:eek: ..... i will?? :flower3:


i was hoping mr bubba would get on a jury..
maybe next time.....he would have fun with it.


yes, i have lots of stories about the sons.
some are not bragging ones as you can guess.
i can remember the time when they were 11 -10- 8 years old and had a couple of friends spend the night on a friday.

they did some things on the phone and made one of their teachers think they were being abducted by a stranger but got away and was hiding in the dumpster at skool.

that was around 3 in the morning.

i don't know why that teacher had to call the police for their help.
i guess she really believed them...



upsetting thing for me is we live across the street from the skool that they said they were at............






another reason for jodie not to multiply:laughing:

[macraven]

got the internet running correctly now, went for the burger king run of the night for one son, about ready to spend time on the threads and realize it is time for forensic files.

Hi all-
Quick fly-by...
Sorry been MIA. Too much stuff going on again :guilty:
Chrissy has a double ear infection :sick: She was fine yesterday and then today at school, this yellow drainage comes out of her ear twice. Got a call twice from the school nurse. The second call I had to pick her up from school this afternoon. I had called my DH to come home from work so he can take her to the sick appt. I took Matthew to band practice after school. I really didn't want Matthew to miss band b/c I knew I was getting some info about summer band camp and also about the next band concert coming up.
I am also dragging as I'm just totally exhausted :faint:

I have Chrissy and Matthew's IEP conferences tomorrow morning.

Update.
My dad is back in the hospital :guilty: :sad2:
He had gone in for his follow-up appt with his surgeon today. My dad's arm and foot were swollen. THey did tests and found out he has blood clots in his upper chest and arm. So re-admitted to hosp with Heparin(blood thinner) IV. Need prayers and good thoughts from you homies. Thanks!

I am totally exhausted, so going to bed. Not sure when I'll get back here. Sometime this week I hope.

Have a good night everyone. :)

[Motherfletcher]

Rise and Shine!

[RVGal]

Been working 11 hour days for a big project.

YEAH CHIKEZIE (for those of you watching Idol)

Sorry to those who've posted some important stuff and I've missed. . .I'm a loser. . . but I've been thinking about you all.

Gotta spend what little time I have between work and sleep with kidlets. . .just completed a homework battle and now start with showers.

Next few weeks going to be rough :sad2: but I keep looking past the project and knowing it will end gets me through.

Me an Alli still hanging tough. . .

Don't fret it Wendy, just check in when you can. We'll be here. And way to go with the lifestyle change! :cheer2:

Sweet Lord, Clarice. Someone lock Katie in the Romper Room, and pronto.

We gots a Romper Room? I wanna go play!

I love that so many people are trying to quit smoking. Doncha wish you could shake some sense into those kids who are just starting????



Absolutely! I saw a kid walking down the sidewalk yesterday with a cigarette in his hand. Couldn't have been more than mid-teens. He had that "I'm cool" aura about him. I wanted to grab him and slap him silly.

I hear ya! I've never seen my kids so anxious to come home and do chores and homework hmmmm....has to be the New Smash Brothers that's got em moving that fast!!!

:welcome: Hiya Pixeegrl! The kid I have playing the new game is only 6 and in kindergarten, so he doesn't have much for homework or chores. He has unlocked a whole bunch of characters. I don't even know who some of them are because they are from games that he can't play yet.



[B][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"][SIZE="3"]Don't feel bad Katie. :hug: I don't get it either. :confused:

Silence of the Lambs. Psycho bad guy has girl he kidnapped in a hole dug into his basement. He lowers basket with lotion and proclaims, "It will rub the lotion on its skin." and after, "It will put the lotion back in the bucket."

Jodie was joking that Katie got locked in the basement and added the Silence of the Lambs stuff.


When Janet's son feels better, he can come over and help him....he won a contest for that game ;)

Now there's an idea! Janet?


sorry...i had never seen that movie :duck:


I nearly missed it myself. I can't stand horror movies and seriously almost bypassed it completely because of that. It is really a... I guess psychological thriller is the term? Excellent movie. Jodie Foster as the FBI agent in training (Clarice Starling was her character) and Anthony Hopkins as the bad guy in jail (Hanibal Lecter) who she wants to help her catch the current bad guy on the loose... seriously, there is a reason that movie won Oscars. It was scary, but not in a stuff is going to jump out at you sorta way... in a creepy, make you think sorta way. Very intelligent, well made movie. Take a couple of hours some day and watch it.

ME!!!! P-fin will be http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s216/KStarfish82/sign0081.gif!!

i know it is morning cause you always are here then.
that's a good thing!


going to do something in the house today.
haven't decide what it will be yet but something needs to be done with this joint......

[ky07]

Good morning homies :surfweb:

[coastermom]

MORNING ALL ....


Ok off to get the Corned Beef for the weekend . BIG St.Patricks at my House ...All homies must bring ....GREEN BEER :rotfl2:

Rose 2 IEP meetings ...:scared1: . They are really horriable here in NYC I hope yours are better where you are. I have one IEP for my son and one for my older daughter. Spent so many years fighting the NYC dept. of Ed for services . We are finally right now and off to a great start with my son. :thumbsup2


SO any help for staying up past 9 PM I am so wiped out this week I just don't know why? I was thinking it was just the change in time and the DAM PINK EYE . but now I am wondering if I am just getting exhausted and need to slow it all down.


I had to say HI and now I have to run so much to do and with the kids in school it is just so much easier. I am going to try to make it in later again but one never knows. I may just be :cloud9: sleeping again.

[RVGal]

So? Was he guilty??? That DOES sound very interesting..... I served on a jury when I was 19 (this was way back when you registered to vote, they snatched ya then :headache: ). So, here I am, young, stupid, naive and 19 sitting (for a week) on a jury for a MURDER trial! (Dude ended being innocent of 'murder' charges, but got guilty on assault and stuff like that.)


Oh, yeah. He was guilty. We deliberated for several hours. There were a few wussies on the jury that didn't want to convict him because he was a "nice old guy". :confused: Since when did that matter? :confused3

When the agent did the deal with him (wired), he told him what he intended to do with the credit card numbers. Here's what I found interesting. It is perfectly legal for companies to sell your personal information (including credit card numbers), as long as it is for the purpose of building a "customer profile" (i.e. learning how much credit you have available, etc). The agent clearly stated that he intended to take the numbers and run false transactions on them, pocket the money, and run. Selling him the numbers knowing he was going to use them illegally made it a crime. Guilty.

Is that a challenge?? Don't have much fight in me this week, got yearbook deadlines to make...:surfweb:

Maybe next week...

Next week, huh? Are you guys going to keep running totals or something? popcorn::


WHAT.............you have never seen silence of the lambs???

Patty is younger than me by 11 months.


we call that Irish twins

We call it that too. My oldest sister and my brother are 11 months apart. I guess Mom learned something. Carol came along almost 4 years later and then I was over 7 years after Carol.

And Irish we be! :shamrock:


I have Irish in me somewhere... only a drop or two... but I married Irish, does that count?

Ok off to get the Corned Beef for the weekend . BIG St.Patricks at my House ...All homies must bring ....GREEN BEER :rotfl2:


We'll be having corned beef and cabbage here on Monday too.

Green beer story. I went to somebody's St Pat's Day party many, many years ago. They had green beer. I don't drink beer, but I brought my own rum and had a fine time. A friend of mine at the time, Sarah, grabbed me and said she needed to use the bathroom... and would I help her find it. 'Kay. We stumble through the house and find a bathroom and lock ourselves in. She sits, pees, and as she is turning around to flush she screams, "OH NO! Look! I've had too much green beer! I'm peeing green!" We both panic for a minute (remember we're young and drunk). She finally flushes and she's getting all teary eyed wondering if she needs to see a doctor. When I go to use the bathroom I said, "Look! It's not you! They must have one of those toilet bowl thingys that turns the water green."

Even drunk, how did we not know that? I mean, seriously.

love the pea green story.......:rotfl: :rotfl:

[RVGal]

I am off to start some laundry and find something to pick up and put away. I can't clean until I find the surfaces to clean.

I will have a busy, busy weekend... so a heads up that I may not check in for a few days.

Joshua is off school on Friday, so I'll use that day to run them down to the little city and get the boys hair cut and pictures with the Easter Bunny.

Saturday is the Easter Eggstravaganza on the town square. Breakfast with the Easter Bunny and Cabbage Patch Kids... egg hunt... parade... bouncy rooms, slides, crafts... all that crap. I am not looking forward to it.

Some how I have to get my big cleaning and Easter dinner shopping done in there. I also have to get St Patrick's dinner and come up with green food to send with Joshua to school on Monday for their class party.

I won't continue to bore you guys with my list, lets just say I am starting to panic a little.

Hi. Hello.

Sounds like everyone has lots of Easter and St. Paddy's day plans. :goodvibes

When you are done with the bulldozers, my house needs one too. Will we get a tri-state discount?

Can I just say I posted on the CB to see if anyone has a Mazda CX-9 or a Nissan Murano. Those are 2 of the cars that Mike and I can agree on right now. The 2 people who responded? Were just posting to say they didn't have either. They have Fords. Huh?

You guys have inspired me to fix a special (all Irish) menu for St. Patty's Day. One problem..... I don't know where to start. I need a St. Patty's Day dinner for Dummies manual. :blush: Anyone want to help me out? Easy preparation would be a bonus. I'm still not able to stand long to cook & my DH is a take-out/ open a can kinda cook.

Was it Wendy that fixed her special meal already? The oven method sounded yummy & easy. Care to share the recipe Wendy?

What else should I fix? My guys will want a complete meal, including dessert. I may have to buy a dessert. That may be pushing my health situation at the moment. That is, unless I make a miraculous recovery by then. :wizard: Any dessert suggestions/ recipes just in case?

I know I'm rambling, but I'm also watching a game. I hope I'm at least making sense. :laughing:

Are you interested in corned beef and cabbage? You can do that in a slow cooker. Toss it in and walk away. Serve it with boiled or mashed potatoes.

What about shepherd's pie? Meat & veggie filling, topped with mashed potatoes and baked. One dish meal.

Irish Stew? Chicken & Leek Pie? Point me in a direction for what you want to eat.

Irish desserts are not something I'm fond of. Scones & clotted cream, rhubarb in anything, fruit compotes, bread puddings... bleech. I tend to do the American thing and just make something I like that is also green and call it Irish.

Okay, I give up. I copied everything to respond to it last night. Then had trouble getting back online. I just got that fixed. Don't know why but it just decided to work again. UGH. So I spent the morning responding to everything I had copied. Well guess what? I saved it, it even asked if I wanted to replace the current document. IT IS NOT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate computers.

I will go back and re-respond to the cliff notes Barb gave me. But I am sorry, there just isn't any way I have the time to do it all over again.

Have I said that I hate computers?????

I'm thinking corned beef & cabbage. We've never had that. I fix shepherd's pie on occasion, but the stews would also be new to us. Right now, easiest sounds best whatever it is. ;)

We actually like bread pudding, when it's made right. I'll have to see if I can find an uber easy, yet good, bread pudding recipe. I'm still open for suggestions though.

[tarheelmjfan]

Barb,
I'm finally getting around to reading Jodie's HHN trippie, between games. (Sorry Jodie! :flower3: I know I'm extremely slack in my reading. :sad2: ) Anyway, I noticed she gave you advice for purchasing beer. Have you checked Cruise Critic or elsewhere to see if you'll be allowed to bring it on? Some cruiselines allow it, & some don't. Some will even go through checked luggage in search of spirits (no, not ghosts). It would stink, if they made you leave it behind.

PS: I know you're always up on everything, but I thought I'd be a dutiful friend & ask anyway.

[macraven]

You guys have inspired me to fix a special (all Irish) menu for St. Patty's Day. One problem..... I don't know where to start. I need a St. Patty's Day dinner for Dummies manual. :blush: Anyone want to help me out? Easy preparation would be a bonus. I'm still not able to stand long to cook & my DH is a take-out/ open a can kinda cook.

Was it Wendy that fixed her special meal already? The oven method sounded yummy & easy. Care to share the recipe Wendy?

What else should I fix? My guys will want a complete meal, including dessert. I may have to buy a dessert. That may be pushing my health situation at the moment. That is, unless I make a miraculous recovery by then. :wizard: Any dessert suggestions/ recipes just in case?

My vote for easiest would be the slow cooker corned beef and cabbage. There are a ton of recipes out there. I use the one from the Family Fun website.

use green jello...it'll last until next st paddy's day;) (thank goodness my kids skipped that fad lol)

quick 'ello, jr wound up sleeping for 4 hours last night, had a cup of soup; went back to bed & i woke him up this morning @ 11:30 checking to see if he was still breathing...on the couch all day, managed to eat some ho-made chicken soup...starting to move around...them youngins bounce back quick like. Knew he was sick when he whipped out the nunchuk & tried to practice the Super Smash Bros & got dizzy-wound up quitting.

i'm not much of a beer drinker either (honestly:rolleyes1 ) when i don't want to drink alot i'll choose beer; fills me up so i usually only have 1 or 2...good of a strategy as any i suppose. Corona is #1 on my list, Landshark is very close:thumbsup2 ...and it reminds me of vacation:cloud9: . PS, while i despise Bud products; i've recently found Mr. Buffet's booze is bottled by them:confused3 . Shocked the picture of me nursing my Landshark hasn't reared it's ugly head:rotfl: for the "newbies".

tricia - not sure what it was about that movie...hadn't read the book despite DH urging me to...such a surprise as to the gem it is!

have a great night all! got some cleaning done this am, yet tons more to go tomorrow...will check in before i start scrubbing down the walls.:scared:

I have english (UK) ancestry in me on my mothers side. I traced my mothers maiden name line back to the dude that immigrated in the 1700s. I have no catholic in me that I'm aware of, but who knows.

I do corned beef and cabbage for St Pats and ham (and a turkey) for Easter.

Does that make me normal, bad, or weird? I dunno. I just cook it and eat it cause I like it.

I'm glad your DS is doing some better.

You scrub your WALLS? Seriously? Oh my. I have to rethink my cleaning process.

[keishashadow]

i only truly clean when i have company coming

rest of the time i just "rid up";)

i'm scarred from owning a cleaning company years ago and found myself "filling in" for the help more than i had expected :scared1: have developed an adversion to it...wonder if there is a syndrome?:laughing:

ps i've taken ALL my kids out of school thru graduation...imo learning is not restricted to the classroom. Of course, we had pre-approval and most work was done prior or ON vacation much to their dismay lol

Our spring break doesn't start until the end of the month. It's usually connected to Easter. I guess Easter is so early this year it threw everything off? I dunno.

Same here Tricia
Easter is what the 23rd of this month and our kids spring break starts the 31st :headache:

[KStarfish82]

I'm having Thurs/Fri and Mon/Tues surrounding Easter off and then starting April 18, we get another week for Passover. This only happens like once every 6 years.

[RVGal]

Same here Tricia
Easter is what the 23rd of this month and our kids spring break starts the 31st :headache:

That's our schedule. Starts the 31st, with a "teacher's workday" thrown in on the 28th... unless we have a (highly unlikely) snow day.

[RVGal]

Helllooo people. I am totally PUI. Have been for the last hour or so. Don't know how it happened. Well, I mean, I know HOW it happened... duh... jhust that I didn't set out to get a good buzz on.

Anyway, I'm watching that horrible show on Fox where they ask life screwing personal questions and then do the truth or lie thing. Fascinating. Who would do that? It reminds me of Temptation Island, which I also watched. Itls even the same host. Hmmmmm.

So, I walked the dog in my pajamas earlier. It was still daylight. I live on a busy highway in a small town. That may not have been the smartest thing I've ever done.

I love you guys!

[loribell]

Well I will try from what I remember.

Penny - How did the interview go? I had everything crossed.

To those who are attempting to quit smoking, I am very proud of you and praying for you. Jodie same goes for Mike.

Also Jodie vacationing with my dad & sis this summer drove me nuts. We were either waiting for them from a smoke break or bathroom break.

Rose - I am so glad your dad got sprung. Do I remember correctly that your mom is feeling bad now? If so prayers for both of them. Hope Chrissy is feeling better. So sorry about the so called friend. Think you are better off without her.

Marcie - How is the finger? Happy birthday to Matt. And what a surprise that the girlfriend wa sick and Matt got it too!

Barb - Loved the Bubba story. Sounds like you may be stuck with the vaccuming from now on! Thanks so much for the cliff notes!

Patty - Welcome to the family. Sorry but I have probably cheered against you when Katie's boys were swimming against you. So has she told you we are crashing the wedding? It is gonna be fun!

Katie - Little sis invaded your territory, huh? And she gave you crap about us? What are we going to do with her???? Happy birthday to you Matt too!

Mary- Sorry about the incedent at school. I am glad they went easy on here. Personally I think the kid that brought them should have been the one that got in trouble. Sorry I missed your birthday. So you and dh are really liking the bed? That is great!

Sharon - Loved the pics, especially the pink one!

Janet - How is jr feeling today? Hope he is all bettter. No offense but I am going to Tricia's for Easter. Her weather is much better.

Tricia - Make room for us. We will be there next weekend. K? Sorry you had tummy trouble but you had a very sweet little boy to take care of you!

Mac - Hope everything is okay now, or at least better. Hawaii will be here soon. You sure you don't want me to go instead of Mr. Mac????

Wendy - Congrats on the continued success. Did you hit dh upside the head for forgetting to put your chicken on? Have fun with the grandbaby this weekend.

Tammie - Hope the back is feeling at least a little better. I'm not going to hug but I am thinking about you.

Fletch - Congrats on the continued weight loss. Great job on riding the bike to work.

DM - How many days till AD? On, and we are going to find you!

Tracie - How was your kidless night? Hope you enjoyed it!

Alison - No snow here. Can't believe you guys got so much. We had it forcasted for last Monday (2 -4 inches) and got nothing. They actually had the nerve to say it was going to happen again on Wednesday. Still nothing. Sunday in Albuquerque the weather lady said there was a snow storm over the city at that time. Funny thing is I had just come in from a bright, sunny, 40 degree day. I really don't think they even look to see what is going on.

If I forgot anyone I am very sorry. Things just aren't going as planned around here.

[marciemi]

No snow here! (Well, LOTS of left-over brown icky snow, but no new snow!). My mom just got back from her trip to visit my brother in SC and she talked about all the weather delays etc. on Saturday. I was like :confused3 - it was fine here. The snow is slowly melting, but more like shriveling up in some spots. Just another 2 feet or so and we may see our lawn again! :rotfl:

We're off for the standard Easter break, but normally here the kids DON'T get Easter break (other than Friday) and get the third week of March off. This year they just made it the Easter week, but I think next year we're back to just 3rd week in March.

I went out shopping this evening and bought my corned beef and cabbage. I never make cabbage per se, but use the juice from the corned beef to make cabbage soup. Which I'm the only one who eats, but still! Darn it - I forgot to get bread to bake. Maybe I can buy fresh bread on Sunday instead! We're celebrating on March 16th instead since: 1. The Catholic church has asked us to celebrate early because the 17th falls during Holy Week, and 2. Royce will be out of town on Monday and Tuesday and will miss it!

I'm working on sending my friend my trip report installments from last summer. I think I have her convinced to go to Disney now (remember me asking you guys a bit back?). Anyways, she's enjoying reading the trip reports so maybe that'll convince her more!

[loribell]

Welcome to our other new homie - Pixeegrl! Glad you joined us.

Mike - Of course it was you I forgot again. Can someone please explain that to me? My son's name is Mike. How do I keep forgetting him. Anyway, the work schedule sounds awful. Glad you got the airfare taken care of. You are going to need a vacation.

Rose - I am so sorry. I just read back through and saw your dad is in the hospital. Glad they caught it. I'm praying for him, and you!

[pixeegrl]

[loribell]

Okay I am really getting mad. I have now tried to tell about my weekend 4 times! My pages keeps resetting on me and dumping everything I have typed. I am going to try one more time!

Now it was nothing exciting. Just a great weekend anyway with no kids!

Some strange things, at least to me. I never thought I would see a cactus growing beside a cedar tree. Or see snow on a cactus for that matter. How about snow on the southern mountains but not on the northern mountains? There were very few Mexican restaurants in Albuquerque???? In fact there weren't many restaurants at all.

So we left Friday morning at about 6:00. We pulled in to Albuqerque about 2:30 and checked in to our hotel. I actually pricelined it for the first time ever. We got a very nice room at a Comfort Inn for $30 a night! We then headed over to the convention center and set up our booth. It took about an hour and then we were free for the evening. We had good food at Applebee's but bad service.

We spent all day Saturday & Sunday at the convention center. We were there for World Wellness Weekend. It was by far the bast convention we have ever attended. The quality of people attending the convention were very concerned about their health and new what to expect. We made a lot of great contacts. We had a lot of people interested in our product and a lot of people interested in our business. There was a psychologist and a acupuncturist that want to join our business so they can refer people to us. People from other booths were sending people to us. It was unbelievable. We were both very pleased with the outcome.

I also got to have a nice free massage & a magical shoulder healing done. I could not believe how well it worked. I have been having problems with my left shoulder for 7 years now. I know the pain is not gone permanently but it is gone for now. I was hurting so bad Sunday before I had it done I was actually trying to determine if I was having a heart attack. My left arm was hurting all the way down and my fingers were numb. I sat down and the lady rubbed my back lightly then went straight to that shoulder. It was wonderful.

I wish we would have had time to hear some of the speakers but we were swamped. And that was much better!

Saturday evening we ate at Applebee's again. It was all we could really find that didn't have an hour long wait or more. Guess Friday's service wasn't too bad cause Saturday's was much worse! Sunday evening the hotel directed us to a small Mexican restaurant. It was fabulous! They had some very hot salsa! Wonderful, fun waiter too!

We got up Monday morning and headed home. We got home in time to head to Mikey's ball game.

So that was my weekend. Nothing exciting but good for us. And best of all I got away without any kids for the first time in over a year!!!!!!

I bet you are all glad you waited for that!

[yankeepenny]

so tricia is off her rocker, eh?

Marcie- lots of folks here are NOT happy as the bishop said no celebrating next week during holy week. meanwhile bars and taverns and restaurants are like , this is money for us, we are doing it.

i remember holy week in the 70's. NOTHING was done then, not even funerals. i remember Easter getting closer when Mum made her hot cross buns on Holy Thursday or Good Friday morning. all banks and schools either closed or let out early that day, and EVERYONE went to mass at 3pm.
I also remember her complaining about paying 10 cents more a dozen for white eggs,for coloring and it was the only time of the year she bought white, we always had brown. I bought white once. I felt guilty , and only did it once!

[yankeepenny]

I finished the 3rd book in the twilight series.

the fourth book comes out after july sometime.

it was good. very good.

excellent recommendation Marcie! :thumbsup2

[yankeepenny]

Loribell, I spent a week with DH and his family visiting in Albuquerque and Santa Fe years ago. The best d@mn mexican food I ever ate was in that state. :thumbsup2
It was a fantastic place to visit , and is on my to do again list.


for an alternative to Disney next year, the year we move, i priced out a few cruises. for those prices, we can stay at a deluxe Dis resort and do the meal plan and.......
anyway, you can probably tell which i am aiming for. :rolleyes1 seriously. i really liked the beach club. i knew it the nite we went over from the swolphin for dinner. DH liked it too. just not the 305 a nite prices. i also want a private jet and part ownership in the Yankees, and neither is happening in my lifetime. :rotfl2:

[dolPhinlovEr83]

Patty - Welcome to the family. Sorry but I have probably cheered against you when Katie's boys were swimming against you. So has she told you we are crashing the wedding? It is gonna be fun!



No prob about cheering against my boys...just don't let it happen again :mad: Hehe Anyway, awesome for crashing the wedding!! I'm the MOH, oh and best of all, if Matt can't go for the tasting, guess who's next in line...oh yes, that would be ME!!! :woohoo:

Hello everyone!

Checking in for the evening....

Got a free haircut at Supercuts...nothing exciting, just a trim but it was free :thumbsup2

We have made it over hump day! :woohoo:

Five more school days til Easter Break!

Checking in for the evening....

Would like to get a free haircut at Supercuts, too bad I just got home from work now. Oh wait, Katie, who introduced you to this deal?? "Ehem"

Oh no, I was told I couldn't copy her new ticker! I wonder if that also stands for not copying her messages :rolleyes1

[t-and-a]

Hey Homies! :wave:
I hope everyone is having a pleasant evening! :)
Rose, I'm sorry to hear about your dad; blood clots are nothing to mess with. I hope they are taking good care of him.:hug:

Lori, it has been warm here today and our snow was really not much to sneeze at. I think they let school out early on Friday just because it had been so long since we got any snow at all and there was actually a little accumulation on the ground, but they wouldn't let the poor kids go play in it...

Great Cliff Notes Barb! You do deserve a Golden Homie of your own!:thumbsup2

Hey MAC! You didn't think I'd be one of the first to invade the new digs, huh?

Tricia, I loved the chocolate bunnies!!!

Hey Tracie, Jodie, Todd, Mike, Wendy, Jennifer, Fletch, DM, Damo, Tammy, Katie, Patty (P-Finn), Sharon, Janet, Penney, Marcie, Janet, Mary, Lawrence, Pixie...I hope I didn't forget anyone!

My internet service has been sucking since Monday night! We have AT&T DSL and home phone service. The telephone is completely OUT and the internet is SLOW!!! But, hey at least it's not OUT! I reported the problem on Tuesday morning and they said it would be up and running again by THURSDAY at 8 PM!!!!! Now that's what I call service!!!

Oh, Zack (DS14) has started track season and he had told me that the coach was ordering track shoes for them.....well he got his yesterday....they were not new at all. They were missing about half of the metal spikes and they were very well worn. Yesterday, I went to the ONLY sports store in town to try to find him a new pair, and they had two styles of track shoes and not one pair in a size 11!Today, while he was running, the sole came off one of the shoes :scared1:.....The coach told him that he would try to find him another pair....He has a meet on TUESDAY!!! I guess I am going to either have to order him a pair or go to Texarkana (30 miles away) sometime this weekend and get him a pair.

So did you find the Mexican food in Santa Fe or Albuquerque? The place we ate at was fantastic. It was called Cervantez. We walked in and it really reminded us of Cheers, it was very small. Well my sister went to the bathroom and came back laughing, told me I had to go look. Well this place was huge on the other side that you couldn't even tell was there. It just went on and on and on.

Oh and have you ever considered trying to rent points from a DVC member? If you didn't mind moving if you were staying for a Friday & Saturday you could get a studio for 13 or 14 points a night. They usually go for $10 - $12 dollars a point. Not bad for the Beach Club.

No prob about cheering against my boys...just don't let it happen again :mad: Hehe Anyway, awesome for crashing the wedding!! I'm the MOH, oh and best of all, if Matt can't go for the tasting, guess who's next in line...oh yes, that would be ME!!! :woohoo:

Well at least the kids got to go out in it a little once they got home. They were talking about you guys in Albuquerque.

I think Barb needs a Golden Homie Award too! Thanks again Barb!

Good luck finding the shoes. Hope the others hold out until then. And good luck to the ds in the meet.

[loribell]

I am so sorry I forgot you Jennifer. I know it has to be a subconcious tax thing. On top of everything else I am dealing with getting the tax stuff together. UGH!

So how are you? Is ds having friends over this weekend or was it last weekend? How was Hairspray? See I really did know what was going on with you, at least a little.

[t-and-a]

Gee, I missed this earlier. Probably shouldn't walk the dog in town in your jammies! Glad you are getting to relax though! Love you too!

They already broke! The sole came completely off one while he was running today.... Thanks for the good luck wishes! They have him running the 800 meter, and I wish they would change him to 400. He can beat all the boys in the 400, but he's got to build up his endurance for the 800, because one boy can beat him in that one (but it could have been the crappy shoes too...). Zack can run like the wind, but we gotta get him some good shoes!!!

Oh yeah, my kids are on Spring Break next week.
