Ya might wanna talk to Cindy:rolleyes1

[gaylean93]

We were dazed before and during it. It was more like watching a movie.

California did give us a book on what to do in case of pregnancy. I know what to do, call the media and make a fortune selling the story rights.

Having a family is not on the horizon, though I think with a legal marriage, I am now officially a stepfather of 2 and a step-grandfather of 4. That's quite a status change on with just saying, "I do."

Sukie and I as parents? That would not be pretty.

Don't feel bad, In my opinion no one should start a family at your age ;) But you can live through us and get the good stuff and avoid the bad ;) I'm really starting to wonder if any of us should start a family :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[gaylean93]

Ya might wanna talk to Cindy:rolleyes1

:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: What is your alter ego? I need to speak to him ;)

[gaylean93]

AAARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!pirate: pirate: pirate: pirate: Post#2000! Ya Bloomin' Cockroaches!!!!!!

Michelle said I should post over here even though I am not caught up at all.

I have been so obsessed with trying to stay caught up that I was reading this thread on the RAZ in bed at night :sad2: and at stop lights. :scared1:

That is not far from :sad2: DISing while driving :eek: which sounds DANGEROUS so I thought I should quit
:guilty: COLD TURKEY. :scared:

My hard drive crashed and the replacement is on back order, so I am sharing a computer with Tom. Add to that the increase in time needed for my job, volunteer activities, afghans I am making for baby and wedding gifts and friends who have not been phoned in a long time

SO

I thought I needed to just stay with the thread for the current cruise and the Picture of the Day.

But

Michelle says you will hunt me down so I better pop in and say HI.

I have no idea what is going on.
I have no idea how anyone is.
If there is anything I should know, would someone please PM me? There is no way I will find a post on here any more. :sad2:

THANKS :)

Jan :earsgirl:

[gaylean93]

I only took about 4 pictures, but Cheri and Bubba took a lot more.

[gaylean93]

DEAR SORE LOSER........HOW IS THAT CHEATING???? Just posting away! Any of your BFF's could have helped you out! Maybe they're MY BFF's! Neener Neener Neener!!!! And I was at the swap meet and then at AT&T looking at new phones with your ONE friend Venetia, not causing trouble then HIDING like some people I know! And your lucky I didnt just keep posting and get two, three, four or more pages to myself! You NEVER would have been able to beat that! At least you still have a chance to beat me! Still love me???????:hug:

Venetia is my "one" friend :hug: I wish she loved you more than me......I haven't heard her mention on here once that she loved you :idea:

[gaylean93]

Ok... I'm going to go crash for a little while... need to sleep the meds off... see you all later... .or at least Marilyn... I should be up by the time she's ready to get up again... ;)

I did a multi-quote, then highlighted one and did a cut and paste into the other.

Regarding pork, I don't eat the "P" word.

I figured...eventually. Sorry I didn't get it sooner.

You're right....I even called Jon in for the duty. The two of us were stumped.

[EllaEnchanted]

but it will be never because it isn't important to him. Maybe I should tell him that football would be deleted :lmao:

HaHaHa.....I learned a long time ago that I can't just ask John to do something for me......I have to make it affect him.....then it gets done.

btw, I just asked John about backing ours up and I said if you get the stuff I need and show me how to do it, then I will do all of the pictures.....this way I KNOW it will get done and I'll know where they are!!!!

[iankh]

Hey!!!! I thought we were buds!!!!!

No offense meant towards you .. it's actually a running joke we have with Jackie.

[tink1963]

She is whipped period

But in a good way...:lovestruc

[HollyTyler]

This is where we're staying:
Montage (http://www.montagelagunabeach.com/index.html)

I haven't taken too many pictures yet. We slept late this morning and didn't get down to the beach until about 3, so we only had a couple of hours. I'll get some pictures tomorrow, hopefully. It's a very nice place!

!!!! Cheri that place is absolutely georgous! Take some pictures of the hotel too.....the room.......the grounds......the view from your balcony.
DITTO! The place looks unbelievable! :cloud9:

[BubbaGrump]

No offense meant towards you .. it's actually a running joke we have with Jackie.

None taken! I've been called worse! :rotfl: Did you see who just got married? George Takai(sp)! They've been together for 21 years too!!!

[Tink rules]

Night Shell, have a pleasant little nappy.

Thanks Deb... it lasted until I could smell dinner cooking... It's amazing what I will do for gravy... ;)

AAARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!pirate: pirate: pirate: pirate: Post#2000! Ya Bloomin' Cockroaches!!!!!!

Well at least he didn't mention anything about planktons... :lmao:

[HollyTyler]

I read on the menu what I'm eating for each meal, take it out of the freezer and microwave it and voila dinner is served.....calories are printed on everything so it's easy to keep track. Hey, it works for me.:confused3 :flower3:
Deb, I'm pretty sure that's the only way that will ever work for me, if I'm ever able to do that, because I don't cook either. So I love the idea of BistroMd. :thumbsup2

[HollyTyler]

Our experience with Mimi's is that from the moment you walk in, they start hurling muffins at you. Pelting you with muffins.

I'm sure if you sat at the counter and just ordered a beer they would serve you a muffin.

If you tried holding up the restaurant, they'd probably give you a bag of muffins to go.
Ooooooh! I wish we had a Mimi's here so I could experience having muffins hurled at me. :rotfl2:

[BubbaGrump]

Deb, I'm pretty sure that's the only way that will ever work for me, if I'm ever able to do that, because I don't cook either. So I love the idea of BistroMd. :thumbsup2

What is up with ALL you people who don't cook??? Its so easy and gratifying! I can't imagine not knowing how to cook! I guess I get it from my Grandfather. He was one of those everything from scratch kinda cooks. I "cheat" , but I still "cook"!

[Tink rules]

Hey!!!! I thought we were buds!!!!!

Are you two fighting again??? :headache:

[Tink rules]

http://www.animals.vaty.net/pictures/cats_and_alcohol/1.jpg

G... I prefer to whack the bottle against the table until the top comes off... saves on dentist bills...

Where are Ethan and Brooke? THEY"RE over THERE with THEIR DING-DONG mother!popcorn::

& whether or not you like it... the weather is very humid tonight... :rotfl:

[HollyTyler]

Now, at least that information might help him in later years!!!:lmao:


:rotfl2: Very true, but he didn't watch it for long. Before I brought our oatmeal to the table, he had popped in a video, Sesame Street goes to the....um....I think it's the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's called "Don't Eat the Pictures". We've had it for about 3 years and watch it very often still. I love it too! I'd love to take him to the art museum in Chicago that my mom took me to when I was not much older than him. I loved it and am sure he would too since he has similar interests as I did when I was a kid. I'd like to do a weekend trip with him if I can steal one of his dad's Saturdays and spend it in Chicago doing the science museum (I LOVE that one) and the museum of natural history (which he'd go nuts over). :thumbsup2

[BubbaGrump]

You know Jan... there's only so many people I threaten with hunting down... LOL!!! :lmao: :lmao:

Ummm....I think your just a LITTLE confused! Me and Ian have NEVER had a fight.....and Ian and Sukie got married......not me and Jon! And no we didnt have Donkey Baseball at the reception, even tho there was enough a s s e s to make up a team!!!!

What is up with ALL you people who don't cook??? Its so easy and gratifying! I can't imagine not knowing how to cook! I guess I get it from my Grandfather. He was one of those everything from scratch kinda cooks. I "cheat" , but I still "cook"!
I don't know about the others, but it just doesn't come easy for me. Half the items, I have no idea what they are or how to do some of the things it says to do, and even when I try and manage to do what the recipe says, nothing ever turns out. It's either runny or dry or overcooked in one part or tastes awful or something. Last time Tyler and I tried to make cookie cutter cookies, they looked cute before they went in the oven, but came out as blobs that completely lost their shapes. After seeing the sad look on his face, I gave up.

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb, I'm pretty sure that's the only way that will ever work for me, if I'm ever able to do that, because I don't cook either. So I love the idea of BistroMd. :thumbsup2

I know it's a little pricey, but I have tried Nutrisystem and I have tried dietogo and I definitely like BistroMD the best. It's real food cooked for flavor and light in calories. It's good. It even smells good as it's cooking.

Their prices just went up so now it costs me $170 per week including shipping for a 5 day plan with snacks. I think it's still worth it.

[EllaEnchanted]

Ooooooh! I wish we had a Mimi's here so I could experience having muffins hurled at me. :rotfl2:

OH THAT IS SOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!! What a laugh riot!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Oh, I can't say that.....he does so many other things to take care of me. I'll keep him!:hippie:

Oh I Know How......I just choose not to. I cooked for the family every night for dinner from the time that I was about 8 years old. That's probably why I stopped cooking when I moved out on my own at 20.:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[HollyTyler]

I obviously didn't post anything worth quoting!!!!!:rotfl2:

I'm well thanks. We haven't been around much today. First thing I was busy, then Church, then we only had an hour at home to get lunch and wrap Molly's 1st birthday present before setting off on the one and 3/4 hour journey to see her. Then we went for dinner out, then the return journey and home for 8.30pm!!!
Marilyn, I know you're asleep, but you'll read this in the morning. :thumbsup2 It's hard to believe Molly is already a year old because it seems like just a couple months ago when we first heard about her! I still feel the same about Monica's niece Sydney! Amazing how fast time flies sometimes.

A funny thing happened to me at work on Friday.

I was in the lunch room heating up my lunch and someone asked me, "Is it OK to eat cooked pork tenderloin cold?"

I gave them a blank look and said, "You're asking the wrong person. I have no idea."
:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[BubbaGrump]

Oh I Know How......I just choose not to. I cooked for the family every night for dinner from the time that I was about 8 years old. That's probably why I stopped cooking when I moved out on my own at 20.:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

You haven't cooked since you were 20??? What the heck!!!!

[EllaEnchanted]

You haven't cooked since you were 20??? What the heck!!!!

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Well, I guess that's not entirely true.....I make a mean meatloaf.....kinda like Gaylean's.....and I make the best tuna sandwich......I think that's all!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[EllaEnchanted]

Ten more pages and we're going to be shut down.....Oh Jackie.....where are you????

Oooopppppsssssss, NEVERMIND, it's 110 more pages!:cutie:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Well, I guess that's not entirely true.....I make a mean meatloaf.....kinda like Gaylean's.....and I make the best tuna sandwich......I think that's all!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I love your pictures! Love the one of Jackie with the pen in her mouth at the celebration after the wedding, love the pics of you in the cars at Toon Town, but the best one of all is Sukie in front of the "F" in the California letters! :rotfl2: And what's up with the lady sleeping on the bench? :lmao:

[HollyTyler]

she also doesn't get the food channel on her expansive cable selection... :sad2:
:rotfl2: And even when I did, it was still all Greek to me! I listen to it and watch it and it goes in one ear and out the other. :lmao: Then I say, "Huh? How'd they do that?" ;)

I laughed when I saw that lady too! I take those pictures too! Anytime I see someone passed out at Disneyland I snap their picture! People look at you....like what the.....!

[HollyTyler]

Wow that's a full day! I can't believe it's already Molly's first birthday......I remember when she was born. We've had three babies born, so far, while we have been on the boards.....Molly, Sydney and Serenity. And we have two more babies coming......Julie and Ginamarie......that's five babies in a little over a year in a group of about 400 people.....interesting.

I hope you had a great time at Molly's first birthday, Marilyn. I wish you could post a few pictures for us to see.
Great minds think alike. I just posted something similar a bit ago, but you beat me to it. :thumbsup2

[HollyTyler]

I laughed when I saw that lady too! I take those pictures too! Anytime I see someone passed out at Disneyland I snap their picture! People look at you....like what the.....!
That's too funny! Hmmm.....I should take a picture of my crazy neighbor across the street next time she lays across her driveway one day. No chair, no blanket, she just laid down one day across the middle of her driveway and took a nap. :rotfl2: Tyler cracks up at all the goofy things she does. He always says, "Remember when she was outside shoveling her sidewalk in her NIGHTGOWN with no coat on?!" :lmao:

[BubbaGrump]

By the way.....Gaylean can dish it out, but can't take it,:snooty: so she bailed on us! WUSSS!!!!!Her champagne brunch is WAY longer than anyone elses, so she couldn't think of smart a s s remarks quick enough to keep up with us! I quote from her phone call" Thisssss jussst(hiccup) isssnt anyyyy(hiccup) fun! I can't keeeep up(hiccup)" !:rotfl2:

[Tink rules]

at least it's an interesting neighborhood...

Our weird neighbors who for the last 3 summers have had waist high weeds in the front yard have now ripped the whole thing up and had it resodded and a sprinkler system and actual plants put in...

But this is the couple who had the baby and nobody saw it for a year... they just had a second... or so I've heard... :confused3

Gotta be some greek dish you can add to the list to replace that one!:rotfl:

[HollyTyler]

Ok... now that you guys have got me looking at Mimi's...

http://www.mimiscafe.com/recipes.aspx
I think I could handle making that corn chowder. I think I'll try it this week, if I can remember to go get the ingredients from the store. :thumbsup2 Sounds YUMMY!!! And perfect for how chilly it's been here today, and at night most nights.

[EllaEnchanted]

Funny you mention that......my favorite food to eat is stuffed grapevine leaves with egg and lemon sauce......give me a plate of those and a bottle of champagne and I'm the happiest puppy.

Mom showed John how to make them. He mixes the stuff that goes in the middle. I just roll it in the leaf......so I guess I'm an assistant, not actually the cooker. Does it count anyway???:confused: :confused: :confused:

Oh yeah, and John makes the egg and lemon sauce too.....that's actually the hard part. I guess it doesn't count.

Then I only have 1 thing.....meatloaf.

I do good mashed potatoes......real creamy and no lumps. Does that count???:confused: :confused: :confused:

[HollyTyler]

Or at least you think there was......

I've been watching the news, one shot is the building there and the next shot is the building gone.
Wow! I sort of wish I had a news channel to see coverage. We only get a tiny clip on our local news shows. :sad2:

[BubbaGrump]

V's making green chili chowder w/ chicken and some left over spanish rice thrown in. We bought a bunch of packaged soups at the Harvest festival last year. You just add part water ,part chicken broth and what ever else you want to throw in like the can of costco chicken and the rice. Yummy!!!

[EllaEnchanted]

Want her #??:rotfl:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: On the floor again.....laughing hard.....too too funny!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Glad I didn't have anything to drink in my mouth!

[HollyTyler]

I'm getting all of the California photos matted and framed in one frame. I think it will look good on a wall.
That's a cool idea! :thumbsup2

OK, now Holly has 2 also......soup and tuna.....that counts!

Holly, I can't believe that it's late fall already at your house. We still have Indian Summer here and this is really my favorite part of the year.....mid September......cool nights and hot days.

Bubba, what season are you in?

[EllaEnchanted]

Wow! I sort of wish I had a news channel to see coverage. We only get a tiny clip on our local news shows. :sad2:


I'm a 24/7 news junkie.....it's always on in the background in my house. I usually watch Fox News, but it I don't like what they have on I'll switch to MSNBC or CNBC or CNN or HCNN.....they're all in my favorites channels.:confused3

[HollyTyler]

We talked to my sister just a little bit ago...

My BIL was able to get back to the house... he had to drive around a ton of debris and trees down.

In their part of Clear Lake they did ok. They are in the newer part... the older part has more damage - more trees, etc. Their friends have a tree down on their house.

The house seems ok... they still have to check the roof, etc. no windows broken. No electric obviously

School is called off for at least another week.

They didn't get to see that much more - they didn't want to stay and get in the way of the emerg. personel.

They know they got LUCKY!!!

There was flooding about a mile away.... if it had gone up the ship channel as they thought it might... they would have gotten flooded...

So for now... that's it... not sure what they are going to do next, but I've stopped doing as I call it.. "Claire cleaning..." :rolleyes1
This is great news Michelle! So glad their house seems to be fine. I bet it will be quite some time before they have electricity though.

WOW......that REALLY does sound good. That's too much work for me though. You have to shop first then cook then clean up.

Mine gets delivered to the house and I just nuke it (microwave).

But yours does sound better!:lovestruc

[EllaEnchanted]

Absolutely, mashed taters count! But I leave a few lumps in mine. Seem more homemade that way!!:thumbsup2

YEAH!!! I GOT 2 THINGS that I can cook.....meatloaf and taters!!!!:goodvibes

Bubba, what season are you in?

Still in summer. I think fall starts in a couple of weeks. But our "seasons" aren't that drastic. In the 70's and 60's most of the year.

[HollyTyler]

:lmao: Tuna sandwich don't count! I think Holly should even be able to make that!!!
YUP!! :thumbsup2 :rotfl2:

It's not been getting above 70 in the day for about a week and nights get down to the high 40s. Tomorrow's high is supposed to only be 61, but I do see some mid 70s predicted for Thurs & Fri, but I really don't believe that. I think next weekend will probably be time to put the shorts away.

[BubbaGrump]

Sukie took that picture! She's pregnant and she's tired! :)

.

Sukie is???? Guess they might need that pamphlet from the state after all!!!

[HollyTyler]

Sukie took that picture! She's pregnant and she's tired! :)

No, she's just pregnant and a lazy bum! ;) Yeah, I'm mean.

[HollyTyler]

Sukie is???? Guess they might need that pamplet from the state after all!!!
:rotfl2: Thanks, I just choked on my diet cherry pepsi! :lmao:

[Tink rules]

Sukie is???? Guess they might need that pamphlet from the state after all!!!

Bubba... they are married now so it's ok... ;)

[gaylean93]

What is up with ALL you people who don't cook??? Its so easy and gratifying! I can't imagine not knowing how to cook! I guess I get it from my Grandfather. He was one of those everything from scratch kinda cooks. I "cheat" , but I still "cook"!

Whatever you're just a cheater!

[gaylean93]

Ummm....I think your just a LITTLE confused! Me and Ian have NEVER had a fight.....and Ian and Sukie got married......not me and Jon! And no we didnt have Donkey Baseball at the reception, even tho there was enough a s s e s to make up a team!!!!

Who are you referring to?

[gaylean93]

never mind

[HollyTyler]

OK, now that I'm finally caught up, I can share our adventures from today. Nowhere near as good as Ian's, but still need to share.

Church was fine, we stopped at the grocery store, Tyler scanned everything through the self-checkout, it was time to pay. I forgot to get cash recently, and was using my debit card this week. WELL, I knew I didn't have cash in my purse, but didn't remember until time to pay that I'd left my debit card in my desk drawer AT WORK! So we apoligized and put everything back. How embarrassing! Tyler was worried, so I assured him we do have tons of food at home, these were just extras we thought we wanted.

So we went home to have lunch and then headed out to Jumping Jax, the place with the big inflatibles to jump on and climb over and slide down, etc. On the way, I had to stop at the drive-up drop box for the library to return some books. I tried to put the books in, but the box was so full, the door wouldn't close. So I wasn't about to leave my books there when somebody could easily reach in and pull them out, then I'd be charged. As it was, I already could reach in and grab stuff. :eek:

So despite our efforts to avoid the pouring rain we've had for 3 days (which we severely needed, so I'm really grateful), I still had to find a parking spot and we took our umbrella and walked the block to return the books inside the library. Well, I forgot that they don't open until 1pm on Sundays and this was about 12:35. Didn't want to stand in the rain for 25 minutes, and didn't want to walk back to the car in the rain and walk back to the library again in 25 minutes. So we decided the books will just have to get returned another time.

Next stop, Jumping Jax! Tyler was worried about not being able to go since I now knew I didn't have my debit card on me. So I made a deal with him that if he uses the $10 in his wallet (it costs $8 for him to get in, no charge for parents), I'd give it back to him tomorrow when I can get to the bank or get my debit card from my desk at work. He agrees and off we went.

Now, keep in mind we have had a flood warning since early Saturday, but I haven't seen any standing water on roads, so I didn't think anything of it. We were jumping and climbing and playing for 3 1/2 hours. Actually, I only lasted about 1/2 hour, the rest was Tyler on his own with friends he made there. I'd get up and go a few times with him now and then when I had an energy burst. People kept leaving, but no more were coming. I thought that was strange because they were open until 9pm. We left at the same time the last group left. Still pouring rain.

As we walked out, I caught part of a conversation with a guest leaving who was asking the owner if she can get out a certain way, but I wasn't really paying attention to their conversation. I soon learned what that was about. I couldn't find the drive to get from the parking lot to the road. It had completely disappeared under water. :eek: I sat in the car, waiting for the other person to leave first, planning to follow their van, hoping she knew where she was going. When I saw how high the water was on their van, I knew we wouldn't make it. As I sat there watching, in shock, as the van did indeed make it through to the road, another car came by and tried to get through. This car was the same size as mine, and the water completely covered the HOOD of the car! It was all the way up to the bottom of the side windows! It made it through, BUT the engine stalled on the other side and she sat there. My face looked like this: :eek: and so did Tyler's!

I drove back to the entrance of the place, rolled down my window, the owner opened the door and I yelled to her asking if there's another way out because no way would my car make it through that water. She told me she saw others make it through the grass just fine, drive over the sidewalk and onto the road. I had no choice but to try, otherwise we'd have to just be stuck there. I thought of seeing of anybody could come pick us up and we'd walk through the grass to the road, and leave my car there, but then how would I get to work in the morning, and I didn't know what other roads were flooded and didn't want anybody to get stuck trying to rescue us.

So I started off across the grass. I almost made it, and got stuck about 12 inches from the sidewalk that separated the grass from the road. 2 men stopped on the road, got out and were trying to push me out while I tried rocking back and forth. The only thing that happened was they both got covered with mud splattered from my tires and I got stuck deeper. They both apologized for not being able to get me unstuck, but I was so grateful to them for trying. The other car, the one whose engine stalled, the driver got out, we talked, she told me she'd already called a tow truck and that maybe he'd just tow me out quickly before he towed her car to her house. I explained to her my predicament about not having cash on me and the debit card left at work. I told her I'd already called friends and left messages to bring me some cash!

I couldn't reach anybody by phone and nobody had returned my message yet. We waited a 1/2 hour and the tow truck showed up. I got out of the car again and explained the problem to him. I assured him I have money, just not on me. He said, "Don't worry, we're towing people out of all kinds of places today, what's one more. Since I'm here, I'll just do it for you." I had to stop myself from hugging him!

Tyler got a kick out of being in the car and having the front get lifted up, we were out in less than 2 minutes and on our way home. Had to detour around many flooded roads, so it was a challenge to get home. I told Tyler we learned an important lesson today. When there are flood warnings, and it's still pouring buckets, just don't go anywhere!

Many of us CAN cook, we just don't WANT to. We have done it for years and that was enough.

Now, we have a "paved path to restaurants"! We walk to dinner, or lunch! I do cook many meals a week, but not new recipes, just our favorite stuff.

Works for me and Tom :thumbsup2

Still in summer. I think fall starts in a couple of weeks. But our "seasons" aren't that drastic. In the 70's and 60's most of the year.

He agrees and off we went.

Now, keep in mind we have had a flood warning since early Saturday, but I haven't seen any standing water on roads, so I didn't think anything of it. We were jumping and climbing and playing for 3 1/2 hours. Actually, I only lasted about 1/2 hour, the rest was Tyler on his own with friends he made there. I'd get up and go a few times with him now and then when I had an energy burst. People kept leaving, but no more were coming. I thought that was strange because they were open until 9pm. We left at the same time the last group left. Still pouring rain.

As we walked out, I caught part of a conversation with a guest leaving who was asking the owner if she can get out a certain way, but I wasn't really paying attention to their conversation. I soon learned what that was about. I couldn't find the drive to get from the parking lot to the road. It had completely disappeared under water. :eek: I sat in the car, waiting for the other person to leave first, planning to follow their van, hoping she knew where she was going. When I saw how high the water was on their van, I knew we wouldn't make it. As I sat there watching, in shock, as the van did indeed make it through to the road, another car came by and tried to get through. This car was the same size as mine, and the water completely covered the HOOD of the car! It was all the way up to the bottom of the side windows! It made it through, BUT the engine stalled on the other side and she sat there. My face looked like this: :eek: and so did Tyler's!

I drove back to the entrance of the place, rolled down my window, the owner opened the door and I yelled to her asking if there's another way out because no way would my car make it through that water. She told me she saw others make it through the grass just fine, drive over the sidewalk and onto the road. I had no choice but to try, otherwise we'd have to just be stuck there. I thought of seeing of anybody could come pick us up and we'd walk through the grass to the road, and leave my car there, but then how would I get to work in the morning, and I didn't know what other roads were flooded and didn't want anybody to get stuck trying to rescue us.

So I started off across the grass. I almost made it, and got stuck about 12 inches from the sidewalk that separated the grass from the road. 2 men stopped on the road, got out and were trying to push me out while I tried rocking back and forth. The only thing that happened was they both got covered with mud splattered from my tires and I got stuck deeper. They both apologized for not being able to get me unstuck, but I was so grateful to them for trying. The other car, the one whose engine stalled, the driver got out, we talked, she told me she'd already called a tow truck and that maybe he'd just tow me out quickly before he towed her car to her house. I explained to her my predicament about not having cash on me and the debit card left at work. I told her I'd already called friends and left messages to bring me some cash!

I couldn't reach anybody by phone and nobody had returned my message yet. We waited a 1/2 hour and the tow truck showed up. I got out of the car again and explained the problem to him. I assured him I have money, just not on me. He said, "Don't worry, we're towing people out of all kinds of places today, what's one more. Since I'm here, I'll just do it for you." I had to stop myself from hugging him!

Tyler got a kick out of being in the car and having the front get lifted up, we were out in less than 2 minutes and on our way home. Had to detour around many flooded roads, so it was a challenge to get home. I told Tyler we learned an important lesson today. When there are flood warnings, and it's still pouring buckets, just don't go anywhere!

What an adventure you and Tyler have had today, Holly. I'm glad you're both home now and safe and dry.

[BubbaGrump]

never mind

How was pizza??? Are you ok enough to play now????? I'll try to type slower than I already do!

[gaylean93]

By the way.....Gaylean can dish it out, but can't take it,:snooty: so she bailed on us! WUSSS!!!!!Her champagne brunch is WAY longer than anyone elses, so she couldn't think of smart a s s remarks quick enough to keep up with us! I quote from her phone call" Thisssss jussst(hiccup) isssnt anyyyy(hiccup) fun! I can't keeeep up(hiccup)" !:rotfl2:

This so never happened

[gaylean93]

How was pizza??? Are you ok enough to play now????? I'll try to type slower than I already do!

WHAT? I never said any of that stuff. Pizza was OK :confused3

[gaylean93]

She's still at brunch???? Maybe she passed out... :confused3

Other people catch him in stupid remarks too!!

[BubbaGrump]

This so never happened

ok!!! I added the hiccups for effect!

[gaylean93]

I miss her too, Bubba!
:cool2: :cool2: :cool2: :cool2:

You better have missed me!

[gaylean93]

Want her #??:rotfl:

[gaylean93]

V's making green chili chowder w/ chicken and some left over spanish rice thrown in. We bought a bunch of packaged soups at the Harvest festival last year. You just add part water ,part chicken broth and what ever else you want to throw in like the can of costco chicken and the rice. Yummy!!!

That's CHEATING.

[BubbaGrump]

WHAT? I never said any of that stuff. Pizza was OK :confused3

Are you sure??? and whats confusing about pizza?

[HollyTyler]

:scared1: WOW :scared1:
That's enough excitement for a couple years!

Night all!
Jan :earsgirl:

We made it fun though. We had a bag of mini-rice cakes, the caramel flavor, in the car, and Tyler had a bottle of water, so we made a snack out of that. Then he told me the first 2 guys who tried to help are just like the Good Samaritans he learned about in Kingdom Kids at church. I used it as a lesson and told him that's right, and that's why we need to help whenever the opportunity comes up because you never know when you might need help, and that I know this will work out just fine because off all the people we help whenver we can, it's just our turn right now. We saw about 8 tow trucks pass us while waiting, on their way to pull others out, but he finally told me, "Mom, I know the tow truck is on its way down the road and the next one you see will be coming here, and I know he'll help us even though you don't have your money with you." I told him, well, we can only hope, and he told me, "No, I just know because I can feel it." RIGHT as he finished that sentence the tow truck came. I couldn't decide whether I should be happy at his optimism or spooked by how sure he was and then what he said would happen DID. :eek:



What an adventure you and Tyler have had today, Holly. I'm glad you're both home now and safe and dry.
I was just as wet as if I'd jumped into a pool with my clothes on! Brrrrr!!!

:thumbsup2 I hear ya.

[Tink rules]

OK, now that I'm finally caught up, I can share our adventures from today. Nowhere near as good as Ian's, but still need to share.

Church was fine, we stopped at the grocery store, Tyler scanned everything through the self-checkout, it was time to pay. I forgot to get cash recently, and was using my debit card this week. WELL, I knew I didn't have cash in my purse, but didn't remember until time to pay that I'd left my debit card in my desk drawer AT WORK! So we apoligized and put everything back. How embarrassing! Tyler was worried, so I assured him we do have tons of food at home, these were just extras we thought we wanted.

So we went home to have lunch and then headed out to Jumping Jax, the place with the big inflatibles to jump on and climb over and slide down, etc. On the way, I had to stop at the drive-up drop box for the library to return some books. I tried to put the books in, but the box was so full, the door wouldn't close. So I wasn't about to leave my books there when somebody could easily reach in and pull them out, then I'd be charged. As it was, I already could reach in and grab stuff. :eek:

So despite our efforts to avoid the pouring rain we've had for 3 days (which we severely needed, so I'm really grateful), I still had to find a parking spot and we took our umbrella and walked the block to return the books inside the library. Well, I forgot that they don't open until 1pm on Sundays and this was about 12:35. Didn't want to stand in the rain for 25 minutes, and didn't want to walk back to the car in the rain and walk back to the library again in 25 minutes. So we decided the books will just have to get returned another time.

Next stop, Jumping Jax! Tyler was worried about not being able to go since I now knew I didn't have my debit card on me. So I made a deal with him that if he uses the $10 in his wallet (it costs $8 for him to get in, no charge for parents), I'd give it back to him tomorrow when I can get to the bank or get my debit card from my desk at work. He agrees and off we went.

Now, keep in mind we have had a flood warning since early Saturday, but I haven't seen any standing water on roads, so I didn't think anything of it. We were jumping and climbing and playing for 3 1/2 hours. Actually, I only lasted about 1/2 hour, the rest was Tyler on his own with friends he made there.

I need to look at the schedule. I'll look when I can. It is on the computer.

Don't think that way. You are still in that 3 to 7 day phase.

I'm not quitting, just in the crab mode.

The first 5 days I was tired all the time, now just a grouch.

[gaylean93]

Cindy does thought.;)

That could be. I'll ask her next time I see her ;)

[tink1963]

I need to look at the schedule. I'll look when I can. It is on the computer.

Aren't you on the computer right now?

[gaylean93]

No wake him up and tell him.:lmao:

Apparently you've never tried to wake Jon up :eek:

[gaylean93]

good luck, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.:hug:

good luck to you too. We need to have a biggest loser type of contest.

I'd love to stay and chat and lurk, but I'm too crabby and Molly is trying to work on her new computer toy, a dictation software.
