Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

[2goofycampers]

made a trip to Lowes today, this poor guy in a big 5er was there duct taping the corrner of his camper back together he ripped out.

[Anne's Family]

When my oldest daughter started bringing boy friends around, if I didn't like them, I'd sit on the back step sharpening my kbar. It worked pretty well. They never knew what to expect from me partly because of my military background. Hell, sometime I wore my BDUs and camouflage face paint Most of them were downright scared of me. Fear can be a good thing at times.

Oooh, my daughter's 12. I'm going to remember that!

I had two older brothers that kept guys away. I always knew my dad didn't like someone I brought home when he would consistently forget his name from then on. When he remembered a guy's name, I knew I had a keeper - but that didn't happen until I was 30 years old!

I'm going to need that cardboard cutout of you in BDU's in about 2 years.

[We4mickey]

My DS had a girlfriend who drove us crazy. I tried I really did, I found over time I just had to ignore it or go nuts. Thank goodness he came to his senses. It took time, but it happened. Unfortunately, it was just a month after we took everyone to WDW. Boy, just think of the money I could have saved it she hadn't been along!

He practiced on ME!!! Whenever someone Al didn't approve of came to pick me up for a date... he'd scare the hell outta them (this was just after he mustarded out of the regular Army). Then I'd get all kinds of bit%y... and he'd "pretty" himself up and take me someplace. I loved the time he took me for dinner & a movie & he (at that time was 25 yrs old) got carded for a drink, and me (at 18 yrs old) didn't!!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Our dad would just sit back in his recliner (beer in hand, of course) and laugh his azz off!:lmao:

[des1954]

Nah.... just use the laminated one you already have. That'll scare the poop outta anyone!!

[2goofycampers]

on the laptop I keep having to refresh each page as I surf, my pc does it automatically. Is there a setting I need to do to get the laptop to do it automatically?

[auntie]

I'm trying not to over react. It isn't a fortune..but more the fact that she didn't tell me about it. It's just not like her. Which is what probably bothers me more than the money. It was mostly for gas. Oh..this is rich. "Mom do you KNOW how much gas is"...NO....at the rock we live under..we don't use gas:rolleyes1 yes, ::yes:: daughter of mine...THAT'S why I gave you extra money for it. Not much to say about that. She's paying me back. I can honestly say, until she started dating "Mr. I'm in a band" :faint: (yeah..just what every parent wants to hear) we haven't had one bit of trouble.

Only now..I would like to send her to a convent in Italy...yes,::yes:: I think that would be very educational and she's always wanted to travel. There ya go...sounds perfect..don't ya think? Anyway, thanks for letting me vent..appreciate it.

GOD...I wish they were little again,:wizard: and you could put a band aid on the knee..you could kiss them good night..or even yell at them to go to bed..but you knew where they were, and we were all under one roof...happy and safe until the next day. Well...maybe they weren't always happy, but they were safe..and I was happy.:cutie:

Can anyone quess this song?

You won't hear me, But you'll feel me
Without warning, somethings dawning, listen.
Then within your senses,
You'll know you're defenseless
How your heart beats, when you run for cover
Your cant retreat I spy like no other.

Hear, Hear!!!

I've got one living on his own, but only working at a crappy job and I just hope he's not starving and is making his car payment so he doesn't ruin his credit. I just wish he could get back in school or join the Coast Guard or something. I also worry every day that he doesn't do something stupid like get married.

The other is still in school and making the grades, but is living at home and just a generally lazy 20yo guy.

I'm ready for them to grow UP!!!!

[77ed]

O.K. I had enough! Just looked at the thermometer in my shop, and it was 100:scared1:. I quit!:tiptoe: Beer here I come!:drinking:

[des1954]

I just read on the "regular side" that Ynottony is getting married tonight!!

Woo-Hoo Tony!!!! Congrats, dude!!! Honeymoon at FtW????

[MomofPirate&Mickey]

Actually, i was supposed to go on a field exercise with Custer, but I slept in that day. Good thing.

Hey, he was my (VERY) distant cousin on my mom's side (still don't like him though).

[MomofPirate&Mickey]

OK, All I can say is, I'm glad I have boys!! Although I have told my oldest that he is only allowed to join the coast guard. He said he wanted to be a pirate at disney, then a fighter jet pilot & then a space shuttle astronaut. I told him he could fly helicopters in the Coast Guard.

Oh, he graduated from Pre-K last Thursday night. He got 100% on all 4 areas that they test them on. Yeah!!:cloud9:

Then I come down w/ strep throat last Friday & spent ALL w/e in bed. Ben had it too, but wasn't as bad.

Ok, have to go home now. I've been super busy at work lately, so hopefully things will start to calm down now & I can be on more.

Talk to you all tomorrow night!!

[auntie]

Pre-school....that's sweet. :lovestruc I miss those days.

My youngest had his last day of 10th grade today, and takes his drivers test next week. :drive:

:eek:

I need some prayers tonight. I have a 9:30am interview with the former county I worked in. I dropped off a resume today and 4 hours later she leaves a message on my machine to come in tomorrow morning.

After hearing from my mechanic today that my jeep might have been wrecked and not reported to CARFAX and that might be the cause of all my vibrations at 50mph, I sure needed this....

[clkelley]

Good Luck Jen!!!

Since you obviously got a CarFax report, does that give you any leverage with anyone??

[AuburnJen92]

Jen.... that must be a bright and shiny resume for them to call you back only 4 hours later!!!

We know how truly awesome your are... and the interviewer will see that too!!

I am praying that it's a job you want, with great pay, better benefits, and they offer it to you in 30 minutes, or less! If they don't offer you the job, I'm sending the otters over to deal with them!!!

Rabid otter rampage (http://www.thereporteronline.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=3961456&BRD=2275&PAG=461&dept_id=466404&rfi=6)

All his life, he has been a fisherman, a lover of nature, a man of the earth.
''I've been around grizzly bears, wolves, mountain lions, you name it," he said. ''But it was the otter that got me."

On Saturday, while in West Chester to visit his mother, Wagner became an unfortunate player in a bizarre incident in which a rabid otter went on a rampage, chasing fishermen in Chester Creek for more than a half-hour and biting anyone in its path.

[ntsammy5]

Make sure to give us a report on the interview! :thumbsup2

[ntsammy5]

...a rabid otter went on a rampage, chasing fishermen in Chester Creek for more than a half-hour and biting anyone in its path.


It's a good thing he wasn't drunk too. They never would have caught him!

[des1954]

I'm a little concerned that we haven't heard from Nicole & how her DH is. Has anyone heard anything from her??

[3gr8kids]

I haven't heard, but I think she's probably very busy - wasn't yesterday Jim's first of two surgeries?

[clkelley]

I would imagine he's probably in ICU for at least 24 hours after surgery. No phones, no puters anywhere nearby. You are practically a prisoner in their little waiting room to be summoned by the Dr's, etc.

[RvUsa]

I QUIT!!! Anyone want to buy a camping website, cheap?

I need a break, I probably won't be around much for a couple of days.

My DH is in a similar situation. He now works for a car repair shop in a less affluent part of town, and for example today this lady brought in a POS car to see what was wrong with it. His technician looked it over and couldn't tell anything without doing a diagnostic which is $35.00. The lady OK'd the diagnostic and then it turns out the problem is a $600 job. DH knew from the get go that she wouldn't be able to pay for the repairs, but what bites is her debit card doesn't authorize the $35 for the diagnostic, so now he has to fight with and tell her he can't release the car till she pays that.

Isn't that the truth!!!

[77ed]

Since I got my first beer I am already in a better mood. Here is a joke.

An Amish father and son go to the mall. This is the first time they have ever been away from their compound. They were just so amazed of all the fancy stuff. The thing that amazed them the most was these two shiny metal doors that would open up to a small room. They sat and watched for awhile, then this rather unattractive, quite obese lady with bad hygiene walked up and pushed the button. The doors open and the lady walks into the room and the doors close and the numbered lights above the doors starts counting up 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10, then starts counting down 10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1. The doors open up and this beautifully built, gorgeous blond lady is standing in the room. The father looks at the son and says "Go get your mother."

Tim Russert will be charting the next election from heaven, he's dead at 58

[77ed]

AMEN!

[77ed]

The only thing about being in business for your self is you can start drinking when you want. not true but it's nice to dream.

[ftwildernessguy]

The thing I like most about being in business for myself is you get to keep all the money and you can take off any time you want!:rotfl2:

[ftwildernessguy]

That's a shame, and not a lot older than me. He was a Buffalo boy.

[Gatordad]

It was probably that bad roast beef at swiebels or whatever.

[ntsammy5]

That's a shame, and not a lot older than me. He was a Buffalo boy.

Yeah, he's younger than me. I met him a few years ago at a corporate function. Nice guy

[Colson39]

Yea, we've been talking about Russert on some other forums for a while, truly is sad, always really admired him :(

[auntie]

I just found out when I came back to the computer. Very sad, I did enjoy watching him on Sundays. He seemed like a heck of a nice guy. I admire his love of family and how he never seemed to forget his working class roots. He will be missed.

[ftwildernessguy]

What was the name of that book he wrote a few years ago about his dad? I think his dad was a trash collector in Buffalo.

[auntie]

I believe it was titled "Big Russ and Me"...or something to that effect.

[clkelley]

Me & DH get to go to a cool concert next week:

The Elvis Presley Story: A Celebration of Elvis's Life & Music

Ronnie McDowell
Stamps Quartet

Millie Kirkham

Work had bought some tickets as prizes for a golf tournament and they had some left over and I was able to get a pair.

This will be fun!! A real night out!!

You'll know you're defenseless

Wow... just got home & read about Tim Russert on iGoogle. He died from a heart attack at 58... not much older than me! I read his books: "Wisdom of our Fathers" and "Big Russ and Me". They depict a very tender and thoughtful side of Tim. Both books are well worth reading.

Well... I raise a Smithwick (actually my second) in honor of Tim Russert:drinking1 . I enjoyed his commentary and style - even though I didn't always agree with him.


BTW Al, after the MGDD - I am now a tried & true Smithwick drinker. Ireland's oldest ale (or so it says on the bottle).

[ntsammy5]

It is a most excellent ale!

Tim was a huge sports fan -- was a big booster of all Buffalo sports. Too bad. That's all that's on the news here. Tom Brokaw was one of his best fiends.

[MomofPirate&Mickey]

White Castle Sliders
Get a pound of 85% lean ground beef, and divide into 16 equal sized pieces.
Form each into a 2−1/2 inch square patties. Do this on waxed paper. Make
the patties very thin. Then "cookie−cut" five holes in each pattie.
(the pattern should resemble 5 on a dice) A CLEAN pen cap works nicely.
Freeze these 16 patties. (It'll make it easier later)
BUNS: the buns are also small. My grocer has dinner rolls the exact size
I need, but you might have to create your own using hot dog buns. One
hot−dog bun makes two White Castle buns. Simply cut in half (through top
and bottom) and then cut off the rounded sides to make them square.
COOKING: This is key. You need to finely chop a medium white onion.
On a pre−heated 375 degree electric griddle, lay about 1−1/2 Tablespoons
of onion for each patty you want to cook (generously spray with non−stick
spray like Pam first) The onions should only be "one deep" if you will.
Immediately place frozen patty directly on top of onions and press down.
Cook for about 4 minutes right on top of the onions. The holes in the beef
will allow the steam to cook the top side. (You don't flip)
Add a dash of salt and a pinch of pepper to each patty while they cook.
Remove and place on UNTOASTED buns.

Don't see an update on Seebee does anyone know what's up...just got a PM from Ami that I guess I was suppose to get yesterday...now I feel really confused, can someone give me an update ?

[des1954]

I don't think anyone has heard from Nicole. I'm really getting concerned. There was so much going on with Jim......

[terri01p]

Deb did you get an email from Ami about a basket, I just got my PM today, has it went out ?

[Shannone1]

Deb- Can I pretty please have a recap of the last 20 freaking pages ?!?! :) I am back from D.C with a sinus infection and a broken laptop. I am soooo behind on my boards. I have over 400 e-mails to sort through and yet here I am trying to catch up on THIS board ;) And I see you all went and divided it up on me while I was gone. Geez, leave you alone for a few days....

Washington was GREAT. But it was sweltering !! Over 100 each day with the heat index. HIGH humidity and not much breeze. We were all exhausted after a whole day of touring memorials and monuments. We had two kids pass out at Arlington because of the heat :( They were ok, but we ended up driving by a couple of other memorials after that and just staying in the bus with the a/c on. It was awful. We did get a special VIP tour of the Capitol building with Senator Kennedy's aides thanks to a mom in our group. We got to sit in on a senate session and get an underground tour and see some *secret* places the public doesn't usually get to go....very cool :thumbsup2 We also did all of the usual places along with the Flight 93 memorial and Gettysburg (which was very cool even for someone who isn't a war buff).

The Geek Squad has my laptop and we just got our internet hooked up to our main computers tonight so it feels REALLY good to finally be back online.

We haven't had anymore bat activity while I was away. Maybe the sonar things are working. Or maybe just the increased activity level in that part of the house is driving them away. My kids are totally capable of that :rotfl2:

I am going to mark this whole forum as read and PLEASE tell me if I missed anything good this week. I hate feeling out of the loop !! :confused:

[AuburnJen92]

Shannone, don't worry, you will catch up soon. I am sure Deb will put a nice report together for you...

Al, the interview went well. It helps that I already knew the principal, I worked for her when she was an AP about 9 years ago. The AP was confused to why I wanted to go back to elementary school because of the type of technology I deal with in HS, but I hope I satisfied his curiosity. I won't know anything until the middle of next week. Teaching jobs in that county are really scarce this year, so I will keep my fingers crossed. There is nothing on the coaching front, however, I haven't really gone there yet. My softball girls are still texting me, telling me that the admins will not let the parents or players talk to them in a meeting. I feel so sorry for them.

[clkelley]

Keeping our fingers crossed for you Jen!!!!:thumbsup2

[seabee]

It's almost 10:00, do you know where your parents are :rotfl2:

They are watching MY kids!:rotfl2:

[clkelley]

Soooooo glad to hear from you Nicole. How is everything!!!

[momoffive]

Good to see you Nicole. I lost the forums and really like to lurk and LAUGH! How did Jim's surgery go? It was yesterday right? Keeping him and your family in our prayers.
Loretta

[seabee]

Hey all,

I'm with Shannone, way too much to catch up on, I'm not even going to try. I'll just wait for the rerun.:lmao: I just wanted to let you all know that Jim had his surgery yesterday and is doing well. It was a very LOOOOONNNNGGG day. He went into the OR at 11:30am and we got word that he was in the recovery room around 6:15pm. Aleise my 9 year old was getting very worried because it was taking so much longer than they had said. I didn't want to show her, but I was too. The doctor said it was a really hard case, and they had to go really slow. He didn't get into the ICU until almost 8. What a long day. So far so good, we just need to watch for wound infection, and sepsis(sp?) because that kidney was just a big pouch of infected puss(lovely image isn't it?).They are keeping an eye out for pnemonia too. His blood pressure is looking great though, and he isn't showing any signs of disreflexia which is awesome. He does have a slight fever and his white blood cells are elevated, but they think that is due to everything that has happened in the last 24 hours. He is out of ICU now, so now we just wait and hope he heals quickly. He still has one more surgery, on his right kidney, that they hope to be able to do in 2 weeks. That one isn't as serious though, so healing time should be less. We hope. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and well wishes. I truley believe that it helps. I hope you all have a great weekend!!

[des1954]

The greatest "re-cap" of all is Nicole's report on Jim. That is all we truly needed to know!! YaY for Jim!!!

[des1954]

Okay... now on to the trivial re-cap - not necessarily in chronological order:

Pete finally got his wish for a community board.

He almosted banished a few people from this board right off the bat (myself included).

Wildfan1473's 6 year old knows the song- "In Heaven There is No Beer"! Which impresses me and Al very much.

Jen had an interview for a job in a neighboring school system.

There were a lot of bad storms in Pa & Wi that affected some of our Dis-er's - but they are okay.

RVUsa John took a trip and was away from the boards for awhile & also wanted a re-cap.

Ami's DD sliced her foot open & needed stitches & is looking for a rubber sock same DD can wear so she can go swimming.

Someone won 1 million dollars on the Price is Right. (It wasn't any of us, so that is truly useless information)

There was a discussion about going fishing.

Pete publicly stated he wanted an Ultimate Wife to do his beck and call.

Mrs. Gatordad quickly reprimanded him stating she was HIS ultimate wife.

Pete apologized and said his wife was the dearest.

Phyllis' daughter almost died at the hands of her mother.

We all calmed Phyllis down.

Ynottony99 got married on Thursday and just kinda snuck that announcement in on the regular board, but we all caught it!!

A rabid otter went on a biting rampage.

John's PO'd over something about his website. My guess is his little Indian guy messed up again.

Rog gave John the following pep talk: WTH???? Ya cant just QUIT!!!!!Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... the tough get goin'!

Phyllis didn't realize the above pep talk was a movie quote & asked "Wasn't it the Japanese that bombed Pearl Harbor?" :rotfl:

Friday night we all had a virtual "Beer Fest"

Tim Russert died :(

There was some Elvis talk, some Judas Priest talk, White Castle Burger recipe, concerns for Nicole & Jim (which have been answered - YaY), and finally...

Shannone's return from DC & trip report.

I think that about sums it up from Wednesday on.

Feel free to add anything I might have missed.

[des1954]

This is REALLY useless information:

Today is the "Birthday" of the Hula Hoop. It hit the market on June 14, 1958.

Holy Crap!!! I'm older than the Hula Hoop!!!

[clkelley]

It's also Flag Day!!! Old Glory May You Always Wave Proud!!!!

Nicole, Great news about Jim. Our continued prayers for a quick recovery.

[2goofycampers]

Nicole. glad to hear the good news...

[auntie]

Rog gave John the following pep talk: WTH???? Ya cant just QUIT!!!!!Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... the tough get goin'!

Phyllis didn't realize the above pep talk was a movie quote & asked "Wasn't it the Japanese that bombed Pearl Harbor?" :rotfl:



Blonde moment?..:blush: General consensus is that I need to get out more. ::yes:: Ya think? :laughing:

Nicole, I'm so happy to hear that Jim's surgery went well, and pray that his recovery is swift and uneventful. As always, your family continues to be in my thoughts and prayers. :)

Yes...I know. Let me see.:confused3 ..we have been married since 1976..and I've only been out of the house a couple of times since. :rotfl2:


Honestly, I've never seen the movie in it's entirety. More like bit's and pieces here and there. You know that's bad, when your kids have seen it and you haven't. :rolleyes1 And they were born WAY after it came out!

Okay... now on to the trivial re-cap - not necessarily in chronological order:


I think that about sums it up from Wednesday on.

Feel free to add anything I might have missed.


You ROCK Deb !! :cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana: Thank you sooooo much !! I feel like I never left ;)

Jen...good luck with the job.

Nicole....very glad Jim is doing ok.

Ynottony99.....congrats :cool1:

I'm not sure how I feel about the sub-forum. I like the idea of it but now I have another board to read. It will be interesting to see if the regulars post on both boards or if the orginal board will become strictly a Q & A board :confused3

[momoffive]

Good news!!!:banana: Now here's to a speedy recovery.

[clkelley]

Wow, we must be really out of useless info. Nothing since 10:00 last night??

We've been busy today. We went out for breakfast, then went to Wal-Mart, then came home and installed a toilet and two outdoor light fixtures. (I hope I never have to install another toilet. That is the nastiest job, blech!!!)

Man, I think installing toilets is what I was bred to do. I got that job down.

I rode my scooter a lot, cleaned my son's rat's cage, went to the bank, paid a bunch of bills online, paid a bunch of taxes, argued with my daughter - all in all, a typical day.

[Us3]

Nicole, I'm glad Jim's surgery went well! I've been thinking of you guys!

Deb, you have the BEST recaps! I think we need a recap from you once a week! ;) ::yes::

It was a good weekend for us. After a long week of work, dh and I stayed up way to late on Friday having way too many beers. Saturday morning was recovery time and then we went "window shopping" for grills all Saturday afternoon (for dh's Father's Day present). We did some research on the grills that we liked Saturday evening. I'm really glad that we did that...one of our favorites had tons of bad reveiws! This morning the girls and I made breakfast for dh. Then we went to purchase the Fathers Day present. Dh spent the afternoon putting it together. Then tonight, he cooked *us* dinner on it, ha.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Happy Father's Day to all of the Dad's out there!!

[des1954]

Deb, you have the BEST recaps! I think we need a recap from you once a week! We need more useless chit chat to justify a recap. Where the heck is everyone??? Drinking beer?? Kungaloosh?? Enjoying nice summer weather?? This is the time of year Floridians stay INSIDE their homes. It's just too danged hot outside. When northerner's say they could never live in Florida in the summer because it's too hot, I give them the deer in the headlights look. Hot? Oh, it's not hot. We actually have air conditioned homes, cars, stores, everything! And guess what??? I don't need to wear some big bulky coat to get from one to the other... or boots, gloves, scarves, hats, snow tires, storm windows, etc....When you live in Florida, you just reverse your thinking. Inside in the summer, outside in the winter.... instead of vice versa.

I make one and only one post per day on the camping board.:thumbsup2

Thats why you should always call your local plumber :thumbsup2 .

[Anne's Family]

We had an interesting weekend. The first swim meet of the summer was Saturday. My son decided competing was the "coolest thing" he's ever done. Great, now he's got the bug. My daughter, who isn't much of a competitor just needs to shave 3 seconds off her time in one event and she'll qualify for the State meet. If she does that, it's off to San Antonio for us! I think the winning bug may be nibbling a little slower on her, I caught her practicing in the lap pool at the rec center today instead of playing on the slides.

Father's Day was good, DH got a new super duper camp chair complete with side table.

We popped up the camper to test the AC (it got up to 100 degrees today). We're a little worried it won't hold up under Florida's August heat for two weeks. We could only get it down to 85 degrees inside the camper today. Gotta do better than that!

That's funny! In the winter when the southern states get a couple of inches of snow and close everything down we giggle...then last week here in upstate NY we hit 97 degrees with high humidity and schools and events were closed because of heat! Alot of schools don't have air conditioning here and we don't know how to deal in the heat!

Boy it's dead here. Everyone must be in a summer mode. The next few days here though will be 15-20 degrees below normal! Yuck.

At least we don't have the flooding the poor people in the Midwest have!

[Gatordad]

darn it, i missed it.

[PolynesianPixie]

Hi all! I'm at the north landing beach campground-STUCK! The fuel pump went out on the truck and I'm being viciously attacked by biting flys. It IS a nice campground, though. Plus our camping companions have gone... Which is a good thing because one of them was verging on being viciously attacked by ME! This is the 5th trip we've taken with these people and we always say this will be the last! Anyway, I don't mean to whine. Life is all good! I,m lurking at you people from hubby's blackberry. Nifty little device. But hard to navigate. Hope you all are well. I'll try to read back a couple pages and see if deb did a recap.

Hey Jen. I might have missed it, but how did the interview go?

[AuburnJen92]

Hey Jen. I might have missed it, but how did the interview go?

It went fine, almost like I expected it to. The asst. principal could not figure out why I wanted to go back to elementary school considering the amount of tech knowledge I have, but hopefully I got the point clear to him in a polite way. I have taught under the principal when she was an AP years ago, so we will see how it pans out in the next couple of days. Thanks for asking!

[Gatordad]

I'm the teflon poster. Nothing will stick.

by the way, my auburn floor stands came in, the best flattery is imitation right?

I was trying to make her feel welcome. I pick on everyone........

Yikes! I just took Annalise to get her stitches removed. I showed her this picture...she really feels for him! and is maybe just a little bit thankful she only needed 6.

[Anne's Family]

After my dad has his triple bypass, he was proud of his "zipper". Looks like we got an industrial-size zipper there.

Holy cow. Just got back from our rained-out Cub Scout Day Camp. We did activities for a couple of hours and then the weather hit. I had six 2nd and 3rd grade boys, 60mph winds, monsoon rain (literally). I was laying across the backs of these boys just trying to keep debris off of them. My phone totally fried. We finally got to the storm shelter after a bunch of hefty workmen literally picked up my boys and our wagon and carried them there. We had crying scouts everywhere. All our stuff is blown to smithereens. We were supposed to have 3 more days of camp - but there may be nothing left. $85 bucks per kid, gone with the wind.

At least they are all safe and home now. And of course, it's quite nice outside in the aftermath.

[PolynesianPixie]

so do we get the story? This is the chit chat thread!:cool1:

Why did I want to kill some campers? I realize that this statement sounds very un-camper-like. Very un-Ami-like, too for that matter. I am usually very quiet...peace loving, you know? But I have my reasons. I could go on for hours and divulge years of pent up frustrations. But I won't....

What it boils down to is the inconsiderate nature of one particular ....guy. As a family they are a force....a force of what I'm not really sure. He is rude to me and I guess thinks I'm a fat fiesty slob who should feel honored to do his bidding; He is also an a$$ to his wife who is clearly deserving of sainthood for putting up with him;
but
the way he treats my children is just more than any mother can handle! He always drops comments that are meant to be demeaning...and he always chooses one of my daughters per trip to bare the brunt of his foul mood. Last year it was Meija, who pretty much keeps to herself and is very mature and repectful. This time it was Annalise, who is a firecracker...but..... It started the first night when my 7 year old was playing Kung Fu (thanks to Kung Fu panda) with his 6 year old son. It was going fine until the son fell down (yeah, she pushed him....all in good fun). Well this guy comes barreling over, yelling at my DD saying "what the he** are you thinking pushing down a poor kid who's sleepy? You should have more sense than that! Come on, why are you so mean?" blah blah blah and he gets this tone...condescending...the kind that makes you want to knock him upside the head.

I finally got him to shut his trap and hopefully embarrassed him when he realized that it was a game and my DD is just much stonger than his son. This lead to comments the rest of the trip about Annalise being mean and his son doesn't want to be with her.."I can't imagine why!" When clearly, his son thinks the sun rises and sets in Annalise and the one with the issue is dear old dad.

There are a million other things...but I would fill up the entire chit chat thread so I'll stop there.

Thank you. I feel much better now.

Let me show you some ranger choke holds to use on this clown -- better yet let me do it! I've never met him and already I don't like him!

[BigDaddyRog]

Jeez, Ami...sorry you were stuck with such a weener.......personally, he sounds like the kinda guy that I LOVE to get stuck into a corner with....aint nothing more fun than intimidating an intimidater.

[PolynesianPixie]

After my dad has his triple bypass, he was proud of his "zipper". Looks like we got an industrial-size zipper there.

Holy cow. Just got back from our rained-out Cub Scout Day Camp. We did activities for a couple of hours and then the weather hit. I had six 2nd and 3rd grade boys, 60mph winds, monsoon rain (literally). I was laying across the backs of these boys just trying to keep debris off of them. My phone totally fried. We finally got to the storm shelter after a bunch of hefty workmen literally picked up my boys and our wagon and carried them there. We had crying scouts everywhere. All our stuff is blown to smithereens. We were supposed to have 3 more days of camp - but there may be nothing left. $85 bucks per kid, gone with the wind.

At least they are all safe and home now. And of course, it's quite nice outside in the aftermath.

Holy Moly! What badge do they get for THAT?

I'm with Rog on that one. I HATE a bully. But especially, a man who obviously suffers from short man syndrome. I'll lay odds this guy is 5ft nothing but wants the world to view him as a big "he man". Or...maybe he suffers from another kind of short man syndrome.... if ya know what I mean!! :lmao: But to pick on kids, animals & the elderly or people with any kind of disability, and for me to see it, well... that's a challenge I can't refuse!! It is a great sport for me to go into battle with people like that. Kinda like a hobby or something!!! You should see me in action at a theme park sometimes with the way some parents treat their overtired, sunburnt kids. Lemme at 'em!!! My DH just walks away hanging his head - thinking "there she goes again". :eek:

Why did I want to kill some campers? I realize that this statement sounds very un-camper-like. Very un-Ami-like, too for that matter. I am usually very quiet...peace loving, you know? But I have my reasons. I could go on for hours and divulge years of pent up frustrations. But I won't....

What it boils down to is the inconsiderate nature of one particular ....guy. As a family they are a force....a force of what I'm not really sure. He is rude to me and I guess thinks I'm a fat fiesty slob who should feel honored to do his bidding; He is also an a$$ to his wife who is clearly deserving of sainthood for putting up with him;

My DD was at Hawaiian Falls in Garland when the first wave of that storm blew through. I got rather soaked going to my car at lunch, then later again in the second wave when I left to pick DD from the church after Hawaiian Falls. We also have about 30 feet of fence flat on the ground now at home.

Back when this hardware was installed there was a 6 inch incision on the outside of my right ankle and a 3 inch incision on the inside. The surgeon didn't use a single stitch or staple. He held it together with surgical superglue and tape. Still have some impressive scars.

Ready to strangle my kid!!!!!!

My youngest has been out of school since early May and has worked 1 day all summer. One of my DHs customers works for the staffing agency that hires the folks that set up for concerts and events at our Civic Center. (Meaning free admission to some potentially really cool concerts, sporting events, and fights).

My son talks to her a couple of weeks ago, but she didn't have any openings then.

She calls yesterday, and son is sleeping all day with his phone off. She calls my DH at work to let us know she has an opening. I'm home for lunch and tell my son, and he is really blase about calling her back, but I guess he finally does and has an appointment this morning at 8am.

Goes to the appointment, gets hired, but tells the lady he can't start till next week!!! :faint:

Believe me, this kid has NOTHING to do, he just doesn't want to work :furious:

The staffing lady calls DH and tells him this, and DH informs her my son can start tomorrow.

So at least he now has a job, but only because we stepped on his head and made him. :confused3

[BigDaddyRog]

That glue is pretty incredible, I think. I had weight loss surgery almost a year ago...they made 6 incisions and removed my my stomach through one of them. Not a single stitch, all glue. one of the incisions seperated but it healed darn near flawlessly. the "scars" are nothing more than minor skin discolorations now.

[kc5grw]

I was really surprised when I discovered that there wasn't a single stitch. I think the swelling in my ankle probably had some affect on the degree of scarring and is probably part of the reason they are as visible as they are.

It was a real trip when the doc removed the hardware. He just made a tiny incision above each screw head and backed the screws out, another incision at the top and bottom of the plate and pushed it out. I could even feel the screws as they backed out of the bone. He only had me on a local and mild sedative during the removal so I was pretty aware of everything that went on.

[RvUsa]

I don't have any hardware in my ankle YET. But it is coming, it will be the 3rd operation on it. The first left me with a scar that goes from about 1 inch behind my little toe, back my foot, around the bump of my ankle bone thingy, and up my calf about 10". and then there is one right in the front about 5" long. The doctor was a QUACK!!! He used staples, about 70 of them, left them in my cast for 8 WEEKS, and then had a tech try to remove them, they were all covered with skin and etc. I was SCREAMING, the poor tech was shaking thinking I was going to kill him LOL.

Well second op was to fix the first ones mistakes, (he lost his license about 4 months after my surgery, but not because of me :( ) That is a second scar on the front same length, about 1/4 inch over, and one on the back of my calf, to transplant my nerve that the first quack cut, now if you touch the back of my leg, I "feel" it in my foot. LOL

Well next surgery will be a slice in the sole of my foot to insert a 16" rod up through everything, and then a slice on both sides in the front (for a total of 4 scars) to put all kinds of plates and screws.... :woohoo: NOT!

My son and wife already call me Frankenfoot!

How old is he ?? My 14 yr old DD has to be forced to do everything lately. She just seems to want to sleep or lay around and be lazy all day long. They just got out of school and we DID keep them pretty busy helping us move and all of that. BUT this is the last week she is getting away with it. She needs to get herself up at a decent hour in the morning and be more active. I'm not going to let her sit on her butt all summer watching tv or playing online (that's MY job :rotfl2: ).

My 15 y/o works 8 hrs on Saturdays and 6 hrs on Sunday (he only works Sundays when school is out) He is actually trying to get more hours. Our 17 y/o works a couple evenings a week and half a day Saturday during school and a couple extra short shifts during the summer. They both enjoy their jobs and I like that they have to make their own budgets and handle their won money.

Must be in the name, well similar name. My Aleise dropped one of our friend's son on the ground. He was teasing her and being a real jerk. He bent over to pick something up and she plowed him. Then they wrestled for a bit. My DH never stopped her. He said, I wasn't going to stop her he deserved it and she was kicking his %$@. They haven't really talked to us in a year. Oh well.

Oh...I've got a girl for him!
Remember me with the daughter I wanted to strangle last week. This week she has an appt. for a lifeguarding job. She is certified in CPR..adult and children. She swims like a fish. LOVES it. Took all this lifeguarding course as part of her gym requirement for college. She was determined (or so we thought) to lifeguard this summer. The pay is actually pretty good. She works part time in my brothers law office, but figured this would be a nice change of pace for her, and she seemed so enthused about it. Why not? She had an interview on Mon. at 12...wasn't feeling well, changed it to today at 4 pm. Okay. No problem you say. Only she has never been to this particular park before. I ask her at 3:15..if she was leaving, and she says.."not yet..it's only 10 minutes away. Well, yeah..but if you've never been there before..maybe there's traffic or something. Or how about just getting there early and making a good impression?. Nahh..."don't worry about it ma". Okay...at 4:30 I get a call that she first went to the park..but the front gate told her she was at the wrong park(there are two parks with the same name within a few miles of each other..go figure..but it's true). She winds up at he second park, where they apologize for the error, and send her back to the first(following this so far:rolleyes1 ...yeah..me neither). Anyway, back to the first park..where the person who was supposed to time her and interview her LEFT for the day. So now, she is re-scheduled for Saturday. :scared: Of course she blames the receptionist who sent her to the wrong park..and should have know she was in the right place..since the second park doesn't even have a pool. You know..if she would have left earlier..even if this still all happened, and she wants to blame someone else...she STILL would have wound up where she needed to be and been on time for the interview. THAT would mean ..oh I don't know.. LISTENING TO YOUR MOTHER!:furious:

Mind you..it's her idea to lifeguard. Only I'm pretty sure you have to get off your a** to do that. Oh..and she only knew about the openings because I asked at one of the joint district pools I dropped my son and some friends off at last Sunday. She makes calls..and waits for them to be returned. Which of course they're not. I think Mr. POS boyfriend is behind her sudden the lack of motivation. He likes meeting her for lunch when she works at the office, because he lives near by. Hold..on..gotta :crazy2:
I swear, I keep praying..but nothing. God..ya gotta help me out here.:worried:
