[bubba's mom]

I STILL don't have any tags! :mad:




you need to stop by more often and POST...not just lurk.... Lurking doesn't get you any tags.... :rolleyes:

Either that, or try stickin' with Elmer.... :goodvibes

[bubba's mom]

you have a fantastic time and come home knocked up.it will be like we all were there for the event.
just think of the baby shower i could give you.....oh i do love parties that follow the white hat and gloves manner book.

Then she'd have a "bean in the oven" :lmao:


i love looking at normal looking young people.

uhhhh...... :confused3

i'm sure there are many times that the homies get tired of reading my crap. some that know me well usually skip over my crap to get to the good stuff. if you stay away, just think of the disservice you will be doing to the homies.
they need to read your crap too.......:rolleyes1

nope....i read everyone's crap....ESPECIALLY macravens :rolleyes1

thread hog??

hey that is my and bubba's moms game. puleezzzeee.....barb and i are neck to neck, don't you try to steal that title.
in fact, barb is such a sweet homie, i will let her win this week on post count. :rolleyes1 it's that and i work all this week and can't get on line during work hours now.

Who you callin' "thread hog"??? :snooty:






:rotfl2:


There is nothing to 'let me win'....i just find it easier to reply to posts individually rather than multi....(sometimes I do multi cuz it IS easier....but, not when i have 4 pages to read :headache: )

be very glad i still don't know how to post pictures on this site yet.
uh, i'm not glad...wish you'd figure it out...YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A MAC INSTEAD OF A REGULAR PC LIKE THE REST OF US THAT CAN HELP YOU...DON'T YOU??? :headache:

[bubba's mom]

I make a mean crab dip!


Tell him to be nice to us please :flower3:

[bubba's mom]

Barb - we had a loverly vacation a few years back at Hershey Park, in your state. And this was our big vacation for the year!

-Jennifer -



:scared1: :eek: :scared1: I'm sorry Hershey Park was your 'big' vacation for the year :hug: That's a daytrip for us..... It's okay and all...but you know how you live near "tourist" places and rarely go to them?? Yep...that's us! I wouldn't want my big trip to be there...but, that's me....but if you have fun, THAT is what counts!! :thumbsup2

[Sharon G]

Barb? Is that you? You're blue. Are you feeling blue? I'm not used to seeing you in blue. :scared:

[bubba's mom]

madam chairman, i think i see rose in the 3rd row with her hand up.
and if you can't see her, look to her side and there is tricia jumping up and down with naked boys to get her second in for the amendment passage.


yea, i thought of the person also when i went shopping for it.

now i have to find where i hid it.



SECOND!!!! :yay:


I have my EXACT person in mind :woohoo: She is gonna LOVE it!!!!

and mac...why are you 'hiding' homie presents? :confused3 not like she's gonna come over and search your house??? :idea:

[macraven]

i think i get an 'assist' on that.... i think i 'provoked' it :blush:

maybe i worded that post wrong.
what i meant was the tag itself was her statement on eating ice cream for breakfast.

[bubba's mom]

I'm so glad I can offer you such comfort. :p

Ain't that what friends are for? :confused3 :hug:


So, I went from being the Poop Lady to the Jumping Naked Boys Lady? I don't think that was much of a promotion. :laughing:

i do!!! at least "jumping naked boys lady" isn't, uh, um....messy..... :rolleyes1

[bubba's mom]

Barb? Is that you? You're blue. Are you feeling blue? I'm not used to seeing you in blue. :scared:

Yep...I'm blue....the circulation in butt is cut off from sitting here for almost 2 hours ketchuping :rolleyes:



(actually....I was quoting myself, so thought I should make it stand out ;) ...sorry for the confusion... :rolleyes1 )

[Motherfletcher]

The Cocoa fans have started some trash talk and they aren't very good at it so all in good fun I'm sending them the following in an email:

Q. How many Tigers does it take to win a State Championship?
A. No one knows and we may never know.

Q. What did the Tigers get on their FCAT's?
A. Drool. No, the principals sopped up the drool and filled in the answers. Oops, that was last year.

Q. Did you hear Coach Wilkison is only dressing 10 players for the Tigers game against Naples?
A. The rest will have to dress themselves.

Q. Did you hear the Tigers gave up field turf in favor of an asphalt Wal-Mart parking lot?
A. That is so their cheerleaders won't be tempted to graze.

Q. Fat as cows, huh, are they pretty?
A. Their cheerleaders are so ugly that they worked Halloween Horror Nights without makeup.

Q. How ghetto are the Tigers?
A. They keep their food stamps in a money clip.

Q. How do you keep a Tiger off your lawn?
A. Install a goal post.

Q. Is Naples in another league?
A. They sure are and that doesn't mean we bowl on different nights.

Q. Shall we go to the game?
A. No need and keep the reservations in Orlando for the 14th.

Q. Who is going to win?
A. Naples 41-9.

I know we have some football fans on this thread that can help me add a few?

[KStarfish82]

Wow, you guys did alot of chatting yesterday!

I can't keep up! :headache:

Well have a great Tuesday everyone!

i'm teaching seniors today.
i copied your list and for extra credit will have some of the students help me on your request.

[loribell]

Okay, sorry I never returned to catch up. I crashed too.

Here is a little attempt before I go hit the shower.




i'm cutting back on my posts.
don't want to be known as posting queen

All hail Queen Mac!
Do not cut back on your posts either. I miss you when you aren’t here.

:eek: :eek: :eek:
oh heavens, that would be horrible......

moral to the story, don't put fingers where fingers don't belong.
don't push that button homie



You don’t know how upset I was. I will no longer put my fingers where they don’t belong.

Geez! I miss ONE lousy day and I've got TWELVE PAGES to catch up on!!! :scared1:

Can you hear me groaning? I'm gonna be a good girl and go back to the last stuff I missed and start my ketchup.

I slept in a little yesterday. Not used to getting home at midnight (yikes). I had a fun time Saturday night and then we spent yesterday cleaning house, buying a tree, getting the tree inside, stringing lights on the tree, and then unboxing and hanging ornaments on the tree. I have pictures and I'll get them up if I can ever get back to this page again. I may get lost somewhere back around page 515. If you don't hear from me soon, send out a virtual search party... :eek:

Hey I have had plenty of those days. You didn’t see me complaining did ya? Oh wait you probably did! :lmao I was wondering what that weird sound was I heard.

Glad you had a fun Sat. night with your buddy. I never made it out to get a tree this weekend. Need to get that taken care of asap or Ally’s going to start complaining.


Hip Hip Hooray!

Snow day for me! http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/weather/snowflake.gif http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/weather/snowflake.gifhttp://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/weather/snowflake.gif

Snowshoes here I come!

Well, yippie for the day off work, but YUCK! To all that snow.



I tried to handle Fluffy in such a way that she would realize what a clueless moron she is. Her priorities are so clearly out of whack that I doubt I reached her. She is the same mom that walks her kids into school each morning (STILL? After 4 months? They don't know where their room is yet?) and both kids are dragging rolling backpacks behind them. Umm... in my paperwork that I signed at the beginning of the year, it specifically requested NO rolling backpacks. She's a piece of work. :sad2:

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="darkred"]Beautiful pictures Lori! An Ally is such a doll. :goodvibes



I don't know about everywhere, but around here they can't bury the lines. We can't have natural gas lines either. We live in the foothills and they would have to blast into rock to get anything in the ground.


I had a great time at the party. I'll have to see if Leta's pics came out because I forgot my camera.

You handled fluffy quite well I do believe. I really don’t understand why they say no rolling backpacks, you oughta see the amount of crap some kids have to bring home, but I absolutely hate it when there are parents that think the rules don’t apply to them or their kids. That’s just wrong. Great example to be setting for you kids lady!

Thanks for the compliments on Ally. She’s my sweetie!

Well, our lines could be buried, but they aren’t. Not really sure why.

Hope Leta’s pics turned out. Would love to see them.

Good looking tree! Good looking kid too, but I'm guessing he runs you more than 50 bucks a year...


I can't make the PTA meetings. They hold them at 4pm on Thursday afternoons. I have 2 small children and I couldn't drag them to a meeting... and I can't work out babysitting once or twice a month like that. I'm sure she and her club are active members. Whatever.


All our convenience stores sell beer and wine, but not liquor. You have to go to a "package" store for the hard stuff. Well, I shouldn't say ALL our stores do. I live in a dry county. There are gas stations on every major road just across the county line, so the locals have to drive a few more miles to stock up. Whatever. I don't drink beer at all and I don't drink anything else very often, so I doesn't make much difference to me. I think it is stupid, but whatever.


I won't get sick of you! Will you get sick of me? :guilty:

Yeah, I bet he sets her back more than $50 a year! I know mine do.

You know, maybe you should make it to one of those PTA meetings, boys in tow, and sit right next to Fluffy!

Our convenience stores only sell beer, oh and it is only 3.2.

I could never get sick of you. Thanks!

I would love to meet up with the two of you as well.....it would be a hoot :rotfl: :banana:

Me three, or four, or five, which ever number I am.

I think me and jim lasting until the 3rd quarter in the freezing rain and snow and whatnot yesterday was pathetic - we should have just bagged it and sold the tickets......but we managed to have an ok time :thumbsup2

You’re a better fan than I. I like watching from the comfort of my own home. Freezing rain and snow, no way!


If Marcie disappears again, I'm thinking alien abduction. Weird light in the sky? Yep. They're coming for her... :eek:


So Marcie is being abducted by alien’s??? They must have probed her arm!


I will return later to do some more. You guys think you can hold it down till I get caught up???? Yeah, right!

[RVGal]

So Marcie is being abducted by alien’s??? They must have probed her arm!



See, there? We solved both Marcie's problems. Now she knows what the weird light in the sky was AND why her arm hurts. Dang, we're good! :laughing:

[bubba's mom]

And oh my gosh!!!! I have been here for 6 1/2 years and I get not one but two tags in one night of fun! Woo Hoo!!!!!

[bubba's mom]

Do not cut back on your posts either. I miss you when you aren’t here.


i think we ALL do....we worry when she goes mia w/o a note :teacher:


I will no longer put my fingers where they don’t belong.

How the blessed TF missed THIS one, I'll never know :confused3

Hope Leta’s pics turned out. Would love to see them.

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

You know, maybe you should make it to one of those PTA meetings, boys in tow, and sit right next to Fluffy!

:idea: :rotfl2: :idea: :rotfl2: :thumbsup2

Our convenience stores only sell beer, oh and it is only 3.2.

Now I'm getting depressed....what ELSE is wrong with this freakin state I live in?!?! :mad: (oh..and what is "only 3.2" ?? :confused3 )

You’re a better fan than I. I like watching from the comfort of my own home. Freezing rain and snow, no way!

:thumbsup2 with ya on that one!

[bubba's mom]

See, there? We solved both Marcie's problems. Now she knows what the weird light in the sky was AND why her arm hurts. Dang, we're good! :laughing:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I am in the presence of genuises..... http://bestsmileys.com/bowing/1.gif


(or is it 'genui'? :scratchin :laughing: )

[bubba's mom]

Well....good Tuesday morning everyone..... now that I've put my http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/gen163.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) in....off to prepare myself for the day.

It's "Make ugly people a little less ugly" day :goodvibes (....with some errands in the middle of the day!!)

Have a great day....and I WILL try to keep up today :(

[yankeepenny]

so Marcie was abducted by the same aliens who took Gemma
and Tricia has a new band, called jumping naked boys.

everyone wants to be a redhead in another life,
and we are gonna meet in PA.


life is good. :goodvibes

[yankeepenny]

Sharon and I are both still inundated with the fallingsnow- lots more coming doen now. :scared1:

I ran the snowblower yesterday. i dont like the new one.
Iliked the old one.

yet- it is wayyyyy better than shoveling!:rotfl2:

[Sharon G]

So Marcie is being abducted by alien’s??? They must have probed her arm!

That's too funny! :lmao: :lmao:

[ky07]

no snow no snow dear lord please no snow cause if they call off school my ds 11 will be home and all he does all day long is dad I'm hungry fix me something to eat and I ask him what he wants and he says I don't know:confused3 and if not that then its can I get on the internet and its enough to make you pull your hair out :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Motherfletcher]

i'm teaching seniors today.
i copied your list and for extra credit will have some of the students help me on your request.

The second one is kind of funny. Last year Cocoa's school board fired 4 principals for providing false information on the FCAT's.
Give the kids a start by telling them that Carrot Top is an alumni of Cocoa.
And the classic "cuckoo for cocoa puffs".

[marciemi]

I KNEW there was a logical reason that my arm hurt! Needed you guys to figure it out for me! :rotfl:

Actually DH insists it was all light that night because of the reflection from all the snow? :confused3 Doesn't make much sense to me because otherwise it'd be light all winter since there always seems to be snow! But who knows!

Enjoyed the jokes - sure they could be applied to a lot of teams and I thought I'd heard most of them before but a lot of them were new to me!

I'm being bored at work here (yet again - are you seeing a trend?), but when I get a chance I'll try the multi-quoting thingie! I thought people did multi-quotes by just clicking on each post individually and cutting and pasting, OR by writing the [QUOTE] things themselves. Never knew there was a button for it and I've been here 8 years (ok, not looking very hard, but still!).

Sorry I wasn't around last night. I owed someone else an email (yes,I do have other "imaginary" friends besides you guys!) for about 2 weeks and I finally buckled down and replied to them rather than getting caught up on this thread. :scared: Sorry! It won't happen again! Well, not soon anyways, because it will take them a few weeks to reply to me, etc.!

I know I owe a zillion replies, but I can't go back through this easily at work because the computer's so slow. I did read it all - maybe I'll get a chance to reply more tonight!

[marciemi]

Lori - congrats on the tags!

Sharon - congrats on looking skinny to us at least! Thought the camera was supposed to ADD 10 pounds? Maybe the computer monitor subtracts 10?!

Hockey must be like soccer in terms of it never being cancelled! Remember when my son, who was only NINE at the time, still had stupid soccer PRACTICE on 9/11. Called the coach to see if he still had practice, and the attitude was like, "Why wouldn't there be?" I was kind of like "Um, because of everything that's happened today?" :confused3 Then the coach kind of backtracked and said something like "Well, of course if it affected you PERSONALLY, it's fine for him to miss today". I was just wondering if there was anyone it didn't affect personally! :eek:

So anyways, don't get me started on the soccer thing. Number of games in lightning with a ref saying "it's far away". Kids played baseball for several years and I swear if it looked like rain they called the game. Many times they got to go to a soccer game or practice that they were planning on skipping when baseball was cancelled (and of course soccer still went on) that same evening!

Did I mention I'm still bored?

[marciemi]

As far as the snow (which I seem to "love" about as much as most of you guys!), Tricia, there's a reason it shuts down everything in the south. When we lived in North Carolina, it was similar to what you said - an inch of snow and the world ended.

But even if you knew how to drive in snow (I grew up in Michigan), it really didn't help because the vast majority of people you were facing on the roads didn't. And they'd be all over the place. Add in that most areas don't have salt trucks, let alone plow, and it just isn't even safe to go out.

Here at the first sign of snow the trucks are out. They plow our streets a couple times a day and salt inbetween. Went walking this morning and they'd ploughed the bike/walking trail already. Just a different mindset.

I remember when we were in Charlotte one of the newpaper columnists making fun of people running out and stocking up on bread, milk, gas, etc. as soon as snow was predicted. The article said something like "As the snow piled up 2 and 3 flakes deep..." :rotfl: !

Okay, I'm going to do some work now. Really. Right after I check my email! ;)

[marciemi]

Oh, and I have to go to the Post Office for work this afternoon to do a bulk mailing. Don't you think that would be a good time to send packages and presents, including my ornament swap? Exactly what I thought! :cool1:

[bubba's mom]

everyone wants to be a redhead in another life,
and we are gonna meet in PA.


life is good. :goodvibes

WAIT!!! :scared: I don't want to be a redhead....I'm having too much fun being blonde! :banana:

Hopefully an Oct. meet in Philly...... :thumbsup2 ........(at Tracie's :rolleyes1 )

Sharon and I are both still inundated with the fallingsnow- lots more coming doen now. :scared1:

I ran the snowblower yesterday. i dont like the new one.
Iliked the old one.

yet- it is wayyyyy better than shoveling!:rotfl2:

Sorry you don't like your new blower.....but, yes...it IS better than shoveling..... maybe Sharon can borrow your blower? :confused3 How much have you gotten?? I feel bad for ya's... :( ....maybe a white Christmas for you guys?)

[bubba's mom]

no snow no snow dear lord please no snow cause if they call off school my ds 11 will be home and all he does all day long is dad I'm hungry fix me something to eat and I ask him what he wants and he says I don't know:confused3 and if not that then its can I get on the internet and its enough to make you pull your hair out :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

.........and ....what happened? :confused3

[bubba's mom]

Last year Cocoa's school board fired 4 principals for providing false information on the FCAT's.



:eek: omg...that is ridiculous!!! Why would they do that....what do the principals have to gain by doing that? :confused3

[bubba's mom]

But even if you knew how to drive in snow (I grew up in Michigan), it really didn't help because the vast majority of people you were facing on the roads didn't. And they'd be all over the place.

That's why we rather not drive in the snow....WE know what WE'RE doing....it's the guy comin' the other way or the guy behind us we don't trust! :rolleyes1


I remember when we were in Charlotte one of the newpaper columnists making fun of people running out and stocking up on bread, milk, gas, etc. as soon as snow was predicted. The article said something like "As the snow piled up 2 and 3 flakes deep..." :rotfl: !

Our running joke when it snows is this: when it snows...everyone has a sudden urge to eat french toast. Why? Because everyone runs to the store to buy milk, bread and eggs.....all the ingredients to make french toast! :thumbsup2 :lmao:



Oh, and I have to go to the Post Office for work this afternoon to do a bulk mailing. Don't you think that would be a good time to send packages and presents, including my ornament swap? Exactly what I thought! :cool1:

DS got a new issue of Scientifc American today and on the cover it says:
"Are alien microbes invading our cells?"
I think Lori is on to something with that probe idea.... :rotfl:

[ky07]

.........and ....what happened? :confused3

of course feed him and let him go on internet and then ask Dw if we have any superglue to glue the hair back LOL:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[RVGal]

Tricia has a new band, called jumping naked boys.



That would be a GREAT name for a band! I can just see it now...

Opening for White Snake and the Rolling Stones, it's Jumping Naked Boys!

And the crowd goes wild... :cool1:

[RVGal]

I bought my ornament today. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was close enough that I could live with it.

So I don't get fussed at for forgetting pictures, lets go back to Thanksgiving for a moment. Here's Joshua's lunch at school:

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/MooMonsters/ThanksgivingK1.jpg

Evening folks...just stopping by to say hi.

Sorry some of you guys are being hit by that winter storm...it's soo early in the season too.

[RVGal]

Thanksgiving dinner at my house:

Which is dwarfed by Carol & Deb's display next door:

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/MooMonsters/CarolsHouse.jpg

I'll get more lights up, I swear!

I have more pics from Christmas on the Square and decorating the tree, etc, but I'll have to get to them later. We must have baths and pjs before Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer comes on! :eek:

[loribell]

Okay, I'm back to try to catch up some more!



I want to have everything packed tonight and ready to go tomorrow afternoon.....I will miss you guys - don't think we get free internet access, so I will surely be lost come friday......we seem to have alot of night owls in the past few days.....I just know I am going to come home to 20 some pages of news and chit chat (as long as its not about me :flower3: )

Man, I think I missed getting to tell you to have a great trip! Hope it is wonderful.

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="darkred"]I fear the years that my kids are old enough. I just know I will get a Power Point presentation, complete with catalog numbers or stores where they are located. :scared:



Now, a girls only trip during hunting season sounds like a good plan. That's thinking ahead Lori!

Well I think the PPP would be better than no list at all. Mine are really bad about making lists.

I think it is a brilliant idea myself.

While I'm waiting for DS to get ready and help me shovel, I found these photos of his senior pics I took one day last fall.



Those pics are great Sharon. He is one very handsome young man. Now I didn’t see any mention elsewhere of him actually helping you shovel that snow. Did you get any help at all?


Good morning all-

Lori- :hug:
I also enjoyed your pics, Christmas at WDW and the one of your DD in the outfit at AK :thumbsup2 . Your DD really looks like Bindi Irwin(Steve Irwin's DD) in that pic :thumbsup2



Thanks Rose. I never noticed it before but I guess she does look a little like Bindi.


[SIZE="3"][COLOR="DarkRed"]I didn't drink at the party. I know. Bummer. But, I had to drive about an hour each way, so no PUI or hangover. I promise to share the joy the next time I indulge, okay? ;)



So, we've switched the road trip to Lori's house? Okay, I'll have to re-pack my stuff for the different weather...


What does a Jelly Belly reject taste like? :confused3 :scared:

It’s best that you didn’t drink then. Next time you need to rent a hotel room so you can drink all you want.

Yep, the road trip is at my house now. Let me know when you guys will be here so I can make sure the house is clean.


[SIZE="3"][COLOR="darkred"]I would like to think that there was a time when the holidays were perfect... and I would like to think that there will come a time when the holidays will be perfect... but, somehow, I doubt it.


Thread hog? Anytime one of us has time to spend on the computer, be it catching up or chatting, we post a bunch. That doesn't make us a hogger, does it? Am I a thread hog? :confused: :sad:


There are rejects from Godiva? What am I missing out on here? :laughing:


My right arm has been bothering me too. I finally figured out that it is from playing Wii games with Joshua. I have Wii arm!

Yeah, it really is sad that this world can’t be a peaceful place for just one day.

Well, I guess we can all just be happy being thread hogs.

I want some of those Godiva rejects myself!

Tricia has WII arm????



Tricia - no, I don't have Wii arm. I was thinking maybe sympathy pains for Brett Favre? :confused3 Don't know and it's not any better this morning - sigh!

Lori - I don't think anyone was criticizing you, but I do feel a bit frustrated too when I log in and there are 4 pages to go through and they're between 2-3 people basically IM'ing back and forth. Feel like it was a private party that I wasn't cool enough to be invited to! :cool2: Now I just kind of scroll through the late night stuff and look for pictures but don't bother reading the back and forth conversations.

Sharon - your pics look like a good size to me!

Well, I'm off to work with a "sick" son here at home yet again. My boys have been passing the "sore throat, feel icky" bug back and forth. See you all soon! Have a great Monday, and to quote Mac from many pages back (I LOVE this quote) "When today's over there'll only be 4 more days until the weekend!"

How is the arm today Marcie? I’m telling you it was the aliens probing your arm.

I know there are times I think there are a lot of yaking going on but I am more like man I wish I had been online to be in on the fun, not thinking I wasn’t invited to the party.

Hope the boys are feeling better.



sharon and I are both in the midst of a blizzard... no school anywhere and my office is actually closed:cool1:

thanks again Lord!



we will get up to a foot and it is bad out right now- northern and western mountain maine will get 18 inches easy.

no school anywhere in maine or new hampshire.

How much bad weather did you end up getting and better yet, did you get another snow day????



[SIZE="3"][COLOR="darkred"]Hey Mike! I was once a Sci Fi geek. I probably will again when I can watch grownup tv again. :laughing:



The area I live shuts down if we get snow. With the exception of the 24 hour grocery store and the 24 hour Huddle House, nothing is open if we get snow. Of course, we only get snow once or twice a year, so we don't have much equipment to clear the roads or any of that helpful stuff. :rolleyes:

I kinda like watching the Disney channel. At least I don’t have to worry about Ally walking is and seeing something she shouldn’t, like last night when dh had control of the tv cause we were gone. Wasn’t real thrilled with the scene that was on and him not having enough common sense to change the channel. Not that it was real bad, but it was an almost sex scene on the knew show “Life” that she didn’t need to see. Sometimes I just want to choke him!

Well, we would probably be better off if things did shut down. There was a little snow in OKC a few days ago & there were so many wrecks it was unbelievable and the snow was all melted before the morning drive started. Very scary!

[loribell]

I remember as a kid, here in Florida, that it started snowing once and they let out school so the kids could see it. It melted when it hit the ground but it was snowing!

We have had those kinds of snows before but I bet it is a lot less normal there then it is here.

Ok, about an hour ago, I get this phone call from my township (the place my family and I went to this past Sat. for the children's Christmas party).:santa:
They tell me a reporter from our local newspaper wants to interview a family that was present at the party. Well, the person from my township volunteered ME to be interviewed! I was like WHAT?! Ok, like what do I say??:confused3

Have you done the interview yet? How did it go? I am so glad you have something to be happy about finally. Here’s to a very happy & prosperous 2008!

I don't know what we would do if we lost you! :eek: :grouphug:

[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Thanks! You are so sweet.


Hanging ornaments on Sunday was hysterical. They were all clumped together in two spots... one at Joshua's height and one at Daniel's height.

Carol has had a really hard time with this round of chemo. She is doing some better today. She is off getting IV fluids and her Procrit shot, so hopefully that will help even more.


Lori, here is my lesson for today. Never, never let something that someone else says cause you to alter your behavior if there was no intent to offend behind your actions. You are a sweet, warm natured, good hearted person. Don't you change a thing.

[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Our tree is decorated by Ally so we have had lots of those years where everything is hung in the same areas and there are lots of bare spots. I love those trees! Took me a while to get used to it but they are very special.

How is Carol doing today? I hate that she is going through this and having such a hard time with it.

Thanks for the life lesson. I don’t know why it hit me wrong, but it did. Guess I am just too sensitive. I never want to hurt anyones feelings or upset them.

So, Raven got new tags... Lori got her first tags... and I MISSED IT! :sad2:

I missed it for most of the day too! But they are so cool!

love your tags lori.
checking in on my late lunch hour and i have no idea what is going on with that post...?????

maybe i will find out when i get to the end of the thread.


but you wear your new tags well.

I like hanging out with you! I finally got tagged! And I’m good now.

yea, tag fairy was on our thread last night.
but mine changed again around today.

i sent a request to get my universal homie tag back and i just did.

Glad you got your homie tag back.



fresh oatmeal raisen butterscotch cookies just out of the oven:goodvibes

YUMMY! Can you ship some my way?

[loribell]

don't you dare stay away from posting here missy.
i'll have to hunt you down like a rabid dog then.

i'm sure there are many times that the homies get tired of reading my crap. some that know me well usually skip over my crap to get to the good stuff. if you stay away, just think of the disservice you will be doing to the homies.
they need to read your crap too.......:rolleyes1

a jelly belly reject tastes like sh!t

we'll rent one room and sneak 10 in there.
split it by 1/10ths and look at all the money we will save up for refreshments then....




I promise you guys are stuck with me! No need to send rabid dogs.

I never get tired of reading what you post and it’s not crap.

They make jelly belly’s that taste like sh!t!!!!!

Sounds like lots of fun to me!

I can smell them over here Penny. Did you enjoy your snow day?


Not a piercing or tatoo in site, although I wouldn't mind a small tatoo. I keep threatening DH that I'm going to get one on my lower back. Can't print here what they call them thou.
[/COLOR][/SIZE]
Did you enjoy your snow day???? Other than shoveling the snow that is!

Now I want to know what that tatoo is going to be???/


Dontcha worry....we ain't THAT easy to get rid of :rotfl:

Congrats on passing 517....you're doing great!

Well the problem with having so much time to post at one time is that I always seem to then not have any time for a few days.

If I don’t get some time to post I’m not ever gonna make it to 3000 before the end of the year.



:lmao: :lmao: Sadly, yes....heck, karate alone is $85 a MONTH.... but, I am comforted by knowing you have TWO kids :rolleyes1


[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Oh that’s bad!


loribell - I guess us homies will be on opposite sides at the Fiesta Bowl. Good luck to your Sooners - but WVU needs a major decisive win to get RESPECT back. State is still in mourning. Many folks are scrambling as they booked New Orleans packages last week. As they say - don't count your chickens. . . :rolleyes1

-Jennifer -

Well, all I can say is tell your coach not to say anything to make the team/coaches mad. They won’t have a chance to win if they make them mad. I wish you luck, I guess.



Charlie Brown xmas special on tonight at 8 eastern.
not the usual xmas one.


NEW THREAD RULE!


NO ONE QUITS!!!! we are not quitters.
we are universal blue
and dis green croc wearing homies.

No quiting going on here! But I don’t have any lime green crocs.



If you only come back here and post 'occassionaly'..THAT will offend ME! :mad: So quit talkin' like that....remember....NO QUITTERS!!! Once you are a member of this thread, you are considered "one of the crazies" for life! ;) :lmao:

Well, don’t be offended. I just got super busy. I am going to try my best to get completely caught up tonight.

Okay....you KNOW we won't forget...but YOU have to promised to let us know when you are IU... :cool2: And you know we don't forget cuz we are still WAITING ON KATIES HALLOWEEN PIX :confused3

Yeah KATIE where is that Halloween pic.


and you were the one that mentioned hallmark stores didn't have anything under a fin.
:laughing:




i like your new rule!
do i have a second for it to pass?

madam chairman, i think i see rose in the 3rd row with her hand up.
and if you can't see her, look to her side and there is tricia jumping up and down with naked boys to get her second in for the amendment passage.



yea, i thought of the person also when i went shopping for it.

now i have to find where i hid it.


I’ll third it although I am a little slow. And I gotta ask too, why did you hide it?





when families are large, many draw names to celebrate a happy occasion.
think of us as that one big happy family. (except for me and tracie when we don't get our morning coffee....)

And this is a wonderful family! I love you guys!

i thought jumping naked boys lady had a nice ring to it.

Me too!


i think i get an 'assist' on that.... i think i 'provoked' it :blush:

Yep, and you didn’t want me bringing any logic in to the discussion either.





uh, i'm not glad...wish you'd figure it out...YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A MAC INSTEAD OF A REGULAR PC LIKE THE REST OF US THAT CAN HELP YOU...DON'T YOU??? :headache:

Hey I know how to work with a mac, Mac. What you need to know.

Oh yeah, this was lots of fun!
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc294/sgregoire1118/snow2.jpg
DD was supposed to be helping me, not taking pictures of me doing all the work!

Umm, and where were those kids while you were shoveling snow????





i could cry when i see pictures of snow.

Me too! I don’t like the stuff at all.

here's to barb, what a homie. yes, you were there and helped lori earn her wings

and

she wears her halo quite well.....http://bestsmileys.com/innocent/1.gif

Ahh, thanks!

::yes:: [SIZE="3"][COLOR="DarkOrchid"]she does....



[SIZE="1"][COLOR="darkorchid"](i just wanted to see pix of Xmas at Disney :blush: )

I am an angel, aren’t I?


well, i just looked back and guess i was talking to myself again. that happens when the days are long

i wonder how many will catch on to invisible writings.

i'm full of fun tonight.....





i am experiencing memory loss..........:rolleyes1

I see all the invisible writings. And what did you forget?

now i am wondering if anybody has ever figured out my invisible writings.......been doing it off and on.....


sometimes i surprise myself and find out there are more blondes out there in the world.

in my next life, i want to be a redhead.

Saw that one too.

i hate the snow.
i hate the cold weather
i hate being stuck in the house with stupid people in the winter......wait, i'm in the house but i'm not the stupid one.




i have never been and never will be a snow bunny.

Totally agree with that one, and I’m not the stupid one either. I’m actually free of that one till late Thursday! Yippee!!!!!

you are so funny...:laughing:

we have those markers on all our fire hydrants in town.

i need to go take a picture next to it so i can measure my butt too.

So we are measuring our butt’s with fire hydrants now?

Ok, how about a smiling Sharon?
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc294/sgregoire1118/snow4.jpg

Very pretty!

I would agree....smilie Sharon....happy it's over maybe??

Sorry was mia for awhile...DH came home from hockey and wanted HIS computer back :rolleyes1 So, came downstairs and fired up my laptop and started makin' his lunch for tomorrow... then he comes downstairs with an old video of him and some buddies (on a car ride home) that he burned onto dvd...also on dvd, was some family pix (DH's late mom included) and Bubba when he was 2-2.5....i'm a sucker for pictures...even a bigger sucker for home video...especially of my baby!!! :rolleyes:

Gotta love the old family pics!

YAY - MY 200TH POST!!!!

Seeing as you are all my homies and won't tell a soul, I will share my nickname with you.

BB (bertha butt)

That coat hides alot!

And where is the tag fairy for that one? You are living dangerously.

[macraven]

Evening folks...just stopping by to say hi.

Heff kinda gives me the creeps thou. What's with those pjs he wears 24/7?

I would wear pj’s all day if I could.



That's true...still weird thou. I wonder if he can still.....?

Oh my!

:eek: I'm sure...why couldn't he :confused3 ....but ya can't tell me those girls would rather have him than some young beefcake.....

Ya know...I heard a news story the other day that said someone "polled" senior citizens and asked them how often they do it.... Turns out, the poll said as much as younger folk....3-4 times a week :eek: Dunno if I believe THAT :sad2:

[QUOTE=Sharon G;22031823]Think of the stories they will have for their grandchildren!

Maybe they are just remembering the past as it being the present!!!!! It’s the same thing over and over, not actually a new occurrence.



Well, that catches me up through page 537. Now to catch up on today's postings.

[Metro West]

and i can see it now.
todd smiling and laughing at the homies in the north with the snow......:laughing:

it started snowing at 2:30 and hasn't stopped yet.


someday i will get to be just like you todd!
live in the south, laugh at the cold weatherWell...I sometimes miss the snow. After all...it's kinda hard getting into the Christmas spirit when it's 85 degrees outside....but....I manage. ;)

Hi guys! Happy evening! Home from work so not quite as bored! :banana:

Meant to write a story about the hydrant markers. DH works for a large company in Green Bay that has centers all over the country. A few years back, they had a potential candidate up from either Mississippi or Alabama (can't remember, but deep south). He saw the markers on the hydrants and asked what they were for. One of the guys explained they were so the fire department could find the markers when the snow was too deep.

The guy burst out laughing, and was like "No, REALLY, what are they for?" Saw everyone's bewildered looks as they replied, "Um, really!" He immediately said "That's it! No WAY am I coming here!" :sad2:

[RVGal]

They make jelly belly’s that taste like sh!t!!!!


I would hate to do the marketing on that one.


But I don’t have any lime green crocs.


I don't own any crocs. :scared:


So we are measuring our butt’s with fire hydrants now?


Oh, man! Do I have to? Even when I was skinny, I had a big butt. I'm probably a two fire hydrant gal by now! :eek:

before i post in reply to the other posts, let me say this:



why should we wait until mid or later october to get together?
let's do it sometime this summer!
for the ones that work, we could do a 3 day weekend.
take off work on a friday.

meet on a friday and later on sunday, all will go back to their own 4 walls.

the homies with kids, might not be able to get away during the school year.

we can do the homies, or the homies with their family.
i will leave my family at home............
you really don't want to meet mine. but i'll bring their pics with me.

at first i thought we would decide on a location and hotel and book rooms.
we could squeeze together to save money if need be.
if some want to bring their kids/beans with or without the spouses, that would be kewl also.


1. who wants to meet in the summer?
2. what city do we want to go to?

i've been saying philly as they are places we could sight see..
if you have suggestions, share it with us.

i think it is lori/ok, marcie, ws, rose, il, mac il, for the midwest.
i think the rest is on the east coast or somewhere near PA.

Who's with me? http://bestsmileys.com/silly/12.gif

[loribell]

The Cocoa fans have started some trash talk and they aren't very good at it so all in good fun I'm sending them the following in an email:

Q. How many Tigers does it take to win a State Championship?
A. No one knows and we may never know.

Q. What did the Tigers get on their FCAT's?
A. Drool. No, the principals sopped up the drool and filled in the answers. Oops, that was last year.

Q. Did you hear Coach Wilkison is only dressing 10 players for the Tigers game against Naples?
A. The rest will have to dress themselves.

Q. Did you hear the Tigers gave up field turf in favor of an asphalt Wal-Mart parking lot?
A. That is so their cheerleaders won't be tempted to graze.

Q. Fat as cows, huh, are they pretty?
A. Their cheerleaders are so ugly that they worked Halloween Horror Nights without makeup.

Q. How ghetto are the Tigers?
A. They keep their food stamps in a money clip.

Q. How do you keep a Tiger off your lawn?
A. Install a goal post.

Q. Is Naples in another league?
A. They sure are and that doesn't mean we bowl on different nights.

Q. Shall we go to the game?
A. No need and keep the reservations in Orlando for the 14th.

Q. Who is going to win?
A. Naples 41-9.

I know we have some football fans on this thread that can help me add a few?

Well all I can say is OUCH!!!! And :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Just watch out, that kind of ammunition is what fires our football team up. you wouldn't believe how many games we have won from shear desire and anger.

Same thing happened this weekend with OU & Missouri. Missouri, or Misery as we like to call them, trash talked all week and they found out just who the better team was.

By the way did anyone see that 6 of the coaches in the coaches poll still had Missouri ranked above OU? Umm, did they see the trouncing we gave them. Never any question who was gonna win that game.

Wow, you guys did alot of chatting yesterday!

I can't keep up! :headache:

Well have a great Tuesday everyone!

Hi Katie! hope you had a great day!

See, there? We solved both Marcie's problems. Now she knows what the weird light in the sky was AND why her arm hurts. Dang, we're good! :laughing:

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

CONGRATS!!!!! Ya know...on this thread....ya just never know what that TF might pull out of your context... :scratchin :eek:

You were just hangin out in all the wrong places before..... ;)

Scary huh? :eek: Gotta watch what I'm saying now.

i think we ALL do....we worry when she goes mia w/o a note

i know I worry when she goes MIA.




How the blessed TF missed THIS one, I'll never know :confused3

What did I say about watching what I say. I think that was before I knew I had tags though! :rolleyes1


Now I'm getting depressed....what ELSE is wrong with this freakin state I live in?!?! :mad: (oh..and what is "only 3.2" ?? :confused3 )

Most places beer is in excess of 3.2, as in real beer, ours is pretend beer. When we drink in other states the beer is twice as strong as ours.


so Marcie was abducted by the same aliens who took Gemma
and Tricia has a new band, called jumping naked boys.

everyone wants to be a redhead in another life,
and we are gonna meet in PA.


life is good. :goodvibes

:thumbsup2 Sounds like you got it!

Sharon and I are both still inundated with the fallingsnow- lots more coming doen now. :scared1:

I ran the snowblower yesterday. i dont like the new one.
Iliked the old one.

yet- it is wayyyyy better than shoveling!:rotfl2:

:headache: YUCK! Stay in and stay warm.

[macraven]

Nah, I don't have enough posts for the tag fairy to notice me.




i received my first tag when i had 5 posts.
the 2nd tag on my 9th post
and the 3rd tag on post 11.


all those tags were evenually replaced with others though.

Thanks Todd , now I have that song stuck in my head. :hippie:

[loribell]

I KNEW there was a logical reason that my arm hurt! Needed you guys to figure it out for me! :rotfl:

Actually DH insists it was all light that night because of the reflection from all the snow? :confused3 Doesn't make much sense to me because otherwise it'd be light all winter since there always seems to be snow! But who knows!

Enjoyed the jokes - sure they could be applied to a lot of teams and I thought I'd heard most of them before but a lot of them were new to me!

I'm being bored at work here (yet again - are you seeing a trend?), but when I get a chance I'll try the multi-quoting thingie! I thought people did multi-quotes by just clicking on each post individually and cutting and pasting, OR by writing the QUOTE things themselves. Never knew there was a button for it and I've been here 8 years (ok, not looking very hard, but still!).




That's what we're here for Marcie! Any more aches & pains you need us to diagnose.

Well, I was really thinking the same thing as DH, there was probably a low, thick cloud cover and the lights were reflecting off of it and the snow. It does happen hear at times and that is what the light is. You can tell from out in the country looking back at the city lights.

The button to multi-quote was added not all that long ago. It hasn't been there the whole eight years.


Lori - congrats on the tags!

Hockey must be like soccer in terms of it never being cancelled! Remember when my son, who was only NINE at the time, still had stupid soccer PRACTICE on 9/11. Called the coach to see if he still had practice, and the attitude was like, "Why wouldn't there be?" I was kind of like "Um, because of everything that's happened today?" :confused3 Then the coach kind of backtracked and said something like "Well, of course if it affected you PERSONALLY, it's fine for him to miss today". I was just wondering if there was anyone it didn't affect personally! :eek:

So anyways, don't get me started on the soccer thing. Number of games in lightning with a ref saying "it's far away". Kids played baseball for several years and I swear if it looked like rain they called the game. Many times they got to go to a soccer game or practice that they were planning on skipping when baseball was cancelled (and of course soccer still went on) that same evening!

Did I mention I'm still bored?

Thanks, I like finally having tags.

I remember that story about the soccer coach. What a moron!

They watch the weather for lightning here and cancel games once it is within 10 miles or so. Probably not soon enough though.

Will at least you are getting to stay caught up with the posting! See, that job is good for something after all, you're getting paid to talk to us!



I remember when we were in Charlotte one of the newpaper columnists making fun of people running out and stocking up on bread, milk, gas, etc. as soon as snow was predicted. The article said something like "As the snow piled up 2 and 3 flakes deep..." :rotfl: !

Okay, I'm going to do some work now. Really. Right after I check my email! ;)


:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Sure you are!

Oh, and I have to go to the Post Office for work this afternoon to do a bulk mailing. Don't you think that would be a good time to send packages and presents, including my ornament swap? Exactly what I thought! :cool1:

Great idea!



Hopefully an Oct. meet in Philly...... :thumbsup2 ........(at Tracie's :rolleyes1 )

Oh boy!!!!


Sorry you don't like your new blower.....but, yes...it IS better than shoveling..... maybe Sharon can borrow your blower? :confused3 How much have you gotten?? I feel bad for ya's... :( ....maybe a white Christmas for you guys?)

Gotta be better than shoveling! Surely!

DS got a new issue of Scientifc American today and on the cover it says:
"Are alien microbes invading our cells?"
I think Lori is on to something with that probe idea.... :rotfl:

See I knew that was what was wrong!

of course feed him and let him go on internet and then ask Dw if we have any superglue to glue the hair back LOL:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Did the superglue work??

That would be a GREAT name for a band! I can just see it now...

Opening for White Snake and the Rolling Stones, it's Jumping Naked Boys!

And the crowd goes wild... :cool1:

They can open for Hannah Montana...their more her age group!
Loved the pics Sharon!

[macraven]

Now I'm getting depressed....what ELSE is wrong with this freakin state I live in?!?! :mad: (oh..and what is "only 3.2" ?? :confused3 )



i always heard 3.2 beer referred as rabbit pi$$.
one time when i was 19 years old, i got a friend to go with me to a border town in wisconsin. at that time, a 19 year old could legally buy 3.2 beer.

i told my mom i was staying with a friend, and she told her mom the same thing.
it only took us 6.5 hours to get to wisconsin from st louis area.
we got a dump of a room at a flea bag hotel.
bought a 6 pack of rabbit pi$$.

i took one sip and said yuck.
my friend got drunk and she puked.

funny how your question of what is 3.2 shakes up some of those past memories...............
i'm sure this was more 411 than you really wanted to know

so Marcie was abducted by the same aliens who took Gemma
and Tricia has a new band, called jumping naked boys.

everyone wants to be a redhead in another life,
and we are gonna meet in PA.


life is good. :goodvibes

can i use that in my cliff notes for tricia and janet?
you are gooood penny

The second one is kind of funny. Last year Cocoa's school board fired 4 principals for providing false information on the FCAT's.
Give the kids a start by telling them that Carrot Top is an alumni of Cocoa.
And the classic "cuckoo for cocoa puffs".


carrot top is so yesterday at my school.
even britney is behind times with them.

but i thought it was funny.

i smiled when i read the last part of above.......

that is so cute

:eek: :eek: :eek:
let me tell you......a mother would catch on very quickly to that.....
and would use that superglue on the mr. in a surprise way when they were asleep....jk



That would be a GREAT name for a band! I can just see it now...

Opening for White Snake and the Rolling Stones, it's Jumping Naked Boys!

And the crowd goes wild... :cool1:

i'm stealing those lines also for my cliff notes.


I bought my ornament today. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was close enough that I could live with it.




I have more pics from Christmas on the Square and decorating the tree, etc, but I'll have to get to them later. We must have baths and pjs before Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer comes on! :eek:


do what any normal nice person would do.
wait until real dark and carol and deb don't have the lights on at their place.
move those suckers to your yard and plug them in.

now you have as much decorations as they used to.


and for your other statement.....
i'm sure the ornament you bought the homie will be cherished by her.
i know who you have and she will love it.

I promise you guys are stuck with me! No need to send rabid dogs.

I never get tired of reading what you post and it’s not crap.

They make jelly belly’s that taste like sh!t!!!!!

Sounds like lots of fun to me!


Did you enjoy your snow day???? Other than shoveling the snow that is!

Now I want to know what that tatoo is going to be???/




Well the problem with having so much time to post at one time is that I always seem to then not have any time for a few days.

If I don’t get some time to post I’m not ever gonna make it to 3000 before the end of the year.





Oh that’s bad!



Well, all I can say is tell your coach not to say anything to make the team/coaches mad. They won’t have a chance to win if they make them mad. I wish you luck, I guess.





No quiting going on here! But I don’t have any lime green crocs.





Well, don’t be offended. I just got super busy. I am going to try my best to get completely caught up tonight.



Yeah KATIE where is that Halloween pic.




I’ll third it although I am a little slow. And I gotta ask too, why did you hide it?





And this is a wonderful family! I love you guys!



Me too!




Yep, and you didn’t want me bringing any logic in to the discussion either.



Hey I know how to work with a mac, Mac. What you need to know.



Umm, and where were those kids while you were shoveling snow????



Me too! I don’t like the stuff at all.



Ahh, thanks!



I am an angel, aren’t I?




I see all the invisible writings. And what did you forget?



Saw that one too.



Totally agree with that one, and I’m not the stupid one either. I’m actually free of that one till late Thursday! Yippee!!!!!



So we are measuring our butt’s with fire hydrants now?



Very pretty!



Gotta love the old family pics!



Woo Hoo!


Nope, I don’t remember but I say let’s shoot for 9K anyway!




And where is the tag fairy for that one? You are living dangerously.

um, i forgot what i was going to comment on but it was a good one.
maybe something in reference to crocs.
i don't have any and never will.......

but i can paint my toenails lime green if that will help

Okay, is the irritating little ditty from WDW anything that plays from the "singing rocks"? We always joke when we walk around the parks and you get close to a planter that has a speaker built into one of those fake rocks... "AAAGH! The rocks! The rocks are singing!!!" We're weird. I know.

Okay, I could do that. Of course, they would steal them back the next night... but it could be like a revolving Christmas display. :idea:

And, you have NO idea how hard it is for me to not talk about the ornament thing. I want to say who I was shopping for and what I wanted to get them and why I got them what I got them and... and... :bitelip: :hyper:

before i post in reply to the other posts, let me say this
why should we wait until mid or later october to get together?
let's do it sometime this summer!
That would be great. I would love to put a face to all your screen names. Looking at a picture just isn't the same.
for the ones that work, we could do a 3 day weekend.
take off work on a friday.
It will take Penny and I 6 or 7 hours to get to FL if that's where we end up.

meet on a friday and later on sunday, all will go back to their own 4 walls.

the homies with kids, might not be able to get away during the school year.

we can do the homies, or the homies with their family.
Uh, after a winter cooped up with my family, I will leave them home gladly!

at first i thought we would decide on a location and hotel and book rooms.

Location, hmmm, have to think on that one. Somewhere with a beach and warm water would be fun.
we could squeeze together to save money if need be.
if some want to bring their kids/beans with or without the spouses, that would be kewl also.

[loribell]

Evening folks...just stopping by to say hi.

Sorry some of you guys are being hit by that winter storm...it's soo early in the season too.

Way to early, glad that is not happening here. It was very warm here today, very cold yesterday and I have no idea what tomorrow is going to be like. The kids are all getting sick. I wish the weather would pick something and stay there for a while, preferably something around the 60's.
Tricia - Loved all th epics. Carol looks beautiful!


and i can see it now.
todd smiling and laughing at the homies in the north with the snow......:laughing:

it started snowing at 2:30 and hasn't stopped yet.


someday i will get to be just like you todd!
live in the south, laugh at the cold weather

No, Todd wouldn't be laughing at you guys. Looks like we are all going to be living in the same area in a few years!


Well...I sometimes miss the snow. After all...it's kinda hard getting into the Christmas spirit when it's 85 degrees outside....but....I manage. ;)

It's supposed to get into the mid 40's tonight here. http://bestsmileys.com/cold/11.gif

Totally agree. It was even weirder being there for Christmas last year with that weather. It was just odd, even though many years it is pretty warm here too.

before i post in reply to the other posts, let me say this:

1. who wants to meet in the summer?
2. what city do we want to go to?

i've been saying philly as they are places we could sight see..
if you have suggestions, share it with us.

i think it is lori/ok, marcie, ws, rose, il, mac il, for the midwest.
i think the rest is on the east coast or somewhere near PA.

I agree, why wait till summer? Anywhere but Oklahoma is good with me.

Well....my vote would be.....Orlando for a quick getaway.

Who's with me? http://bestsmileys.com/silly/12.gif

i would go for that too!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

http://bestsmileys.com/stoplights/3.gifin the name of love before you break my heart!

Sorry...I guess I need some sleep. http://bestsmileys.com/silly/18.gif

Think it oh oh over
Think it oh oh over

Thanks Todd , now I have that song stuck in my head. :hippie:

I'm not reading that so that it doesn't get stuck in my head! :headache: :rolleyes1


Hey, I'm off work on Fridays! Wow - that's almost as coincidental as my husband and all his Packers' games!

And did someone say lime green crocs?

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/marciemi/2007trip/Epcot/IMG_0744.jpg

Love the pic Marcie. And I totally agree that is a great coincidence. I think it is only fair that you get to go on a homie visit since dh keeps scheduling business trips to towns that the Packers are playing in.

[loribell]

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

It was either that song or an irritating little ditty they play at WDW...but I'm not sayin which one. :rolleyes1



It is better than shoveling....and don't call her Shirley! :lmao: :lmao:

Oh thanks a lot! now I have that one stuck in my head.

i always heard 3.2 beer referred as rabbit pi$$.
one time when i was 19 years old, i got a friend to go with me to a border town in wisconsin. at that time, a 19 year old could legally buy 3.2 beer.

i told my mom i was staying with a friend, and she told her mom the same thing.
it only took us 6.5 hours to get to wisconsin from st louis area.
we got a dump of a room at a flea bag hotel.
bought a 6 pack of rabbit pi$$.

i took one sip and said yuck.
my friend got drunk and she puked.

funny how your question of what is 3.2 shakes up some of those past memories...............
i'm sure this was more 411 than you really wanted to know

Well, now you all know why I don't drink beer. Our's really does taste that bad! YUCK! Great story Mac, but I was an angel and would never have done anything like that, really I wouldn't have. :rolleyes1


do what any normal nice person would do.
wait until real dark and carol and deb don't have the lights on at their place.
move those suckers to your yard and plug them in.

now you have as much decorations as they used to.

um, i forgot what i was going to comment on but it was a good one.
maybe something in reference to crocs.
i don't have any and never will.......

but i can paint my toenails lime green if that will help


:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yeah Tricia steal Carol's decorations! That'll show her!

I'm sure it was really good too. I hate it when I forget what I am going to say, but it happens all the time..

I'll say it :rotfl:

It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

:upsidedow As if it wasn't already stuck in my head you had to go and sing it for us.

Okay, I could do that. Of course, they would steal them back the next night... but it could be like a revolving Christmas display. :idea:

And, you have NO idea how hard it is for me to not talk about the ornament thing. I want to say who I was shopping for and what I wanted to get them and why I got them what I got them and... and... :bitelip: :hyper:

I like the revolving Christmas display, or you could try telling her that you went and bought your own and someone must have stollen hers. Yeah tell her Marcie's aliens stole them.

Hey you are excited about your ornament are you?:laughing:

Nite Todd!

[loribell]

I am caught up!!!!!!!!

Well, it's bed time now. I'll try to stay current now.

Goodnight. Sweet Dreamies Everyone!

steal her outside decorations and never admit to it.
just say, i think it must have been a group of hoodlums that did that.

if they move them back to their side of the yard, do the same thing the next night and back to your place.

always stay in denial. don't fess up...........


you can pm me anytime about the ornabuddy exchange thingy.
i can keep a secret....

when we do post what we recieved, the sender can reply why they got what they did, what they were looking for, etc.

[macraven]

stealing the sister's outdoor christmas decorations reminds me of the tombstone i had.

when i was in college, i was the non drinker so i was always the designated driver.

all were underage so we would get one person to buy the booze.
someone would pick me up and i would do the driving then.

i was always afraid i would get in trouble so i would take the homies to a cemetery at night. where i lived, you have farm land and small cemetaries in the country outside the city. i figured we would never get caught by the law and we never were.

but when you have about 7 drunks together at the same time, the ideas get crazy.
to thank me they broke off a tombstone that had my name on it. it was an old one, dated back to the 1800's.



every weekend one of that group would place it in my parents drive way and leave a note. after dad got over being pissed, he would move the tombstone over by the garage. that night, someone would come retrieve it.

and again, the next weekend it came back home to me.

this went on for 4 months. the time it was in our driveway with christmas lights all around it was the ending of it for the parents.

i had to hide that thing under my bed for the longest time.
i couldn't get my friends to stop stealing it back after dad would hide it in the back of the garage. so i had to hide it in my room.

i forgot to take the tombstone with me when i moved to chicago when i left home.

my mother was not happy with me at all when they found it.
they moved to another house and when the movers took the beds, they mentioned to the folks they don't do tombstones.

[macraven]

now if i can get about 3 more pages filled up, no one will pay attention to my grave yard story.
and i surely hope no one calls the police on me to turn me in after all these years.....

[macraven]

where is barb tonight?



i know i read what she posted this morning, but thought she would drop in tonight.

cause tonight is not the date night of the tv show with her and mr barb....

[macraven]

i haven't started any cards yet.


so think of this as your card.
from me to you....



http://bestsmileys.com/christmas2/19.gif



http://bestsmileys.com/christmas2/20.gif


that is the front of the card.
i haven't decide on the verse for the inside yet.

[the Dark Marauder]

Mac, that tombstone story is trippy!

And what about Mirthas or the other sun gods that also have their birthday on/around Dec 25?

Show them some love! :p

[KStarfish82]

Morning!

It's hump day! :banana:

Wow, I'm falling way behind here :guilty: because of my final term paper that is due by Friday night and have only written one page on :rotfl:

Hopefully after that I will be able to keep up again!

To our Jewish friends out there....Happy Chanukah!

[macraven]

good hump day homies.
after today, only 2 more work days this week.






we got snow.
have to leave earlier for work.


darkie, i never thought of that.
starfish, that i did think of....

Sharon - I was responding to the two things that Todd said. The singing rocks in response to the annoying ditty at WDW... and the Airplane! comment in response to the "stop calling her Shirley" bit. The two aren't connected, I was just too tired to divide his one post into two quotes.

Raven - I have a drunks-saying-thanks story, but I don't think it will compare with a tombstone. How drunk do you have to be in order to think breaking off a tombstone and depositing it in someone's driveway is a good idea? :laughing:

Here is mine. Well, it isn't actually my story. This is one that an old friend of mine used to tell. When he was still in high school, he and his buddies used to gather in a vacant lot to do their drinking. Sorta the same theory you had... they were away from everyone else and never got bothered by the law. One winter night, they were standing around an oil drum burning whatever scrap wood they could find to keep them warm while they were drinking. Scott (my friend) drank way too much and passed out. His buddies drove him home and dumped him on his front lawn. They started to drive away, but being concerned friends, they decided that he might get cold lying there on his front lawn all night... so, they drove back to the vacant lot, put the burning barrel in the back of their pickup truck, took it back to Scott's house, and set it beside him on his front lawn.

Scott used to say that his parents were "less than pleased" to wake up and find their teenaged son passed out on the lawn with a barrel of junk smouldering beside him. :rolleyes1

[RVGal]

Oh, and thank you for the Christmas card Raven! Here is mine for all the homies:

I know I'd be less than pleased, not only do I have to deal with the whole drinking issue, now I have to find a way to dispose of the barrel of junk!
The story sounds like it would make a good story line for Desperate Housewives. I can just see the wives all standing together across the street looking at the barrel and kid and shaking their heads.

Thank you for the Christmas card. You have a beautiful family!

Did you see Mac's post about all of us Homies getting together this summer? Any good ideas on where we could meet? If I remember correctly, there is some kind of tourist destination not far from you!?! I'm thinking summer is your busy time at the RV store and you might not be able to get away.

I don't know if you would really consider it much of a destination. Helen, GA is a town built for tourism, but it isn't much. Most of the people who come to our area are here for the scenery. We're in the foothills... the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail is about 25 miles from my house. There isn't that much to DO, just a lot of pretty nature to SEE. We have some winery places that have cropped up and Dahlonega has a very nice town square with lots of little bistro type restaurants and wine tasting rooms. It's small, however. I am about a 2 hour drive from Chattanooga, TN... about 3 hours from Pigeon Forge, TN or Asheville, NC... 5 hours from Myrtle Beach, SC... 1.5 hours from Atlanta, GA... well, there are a lot of places around here.

Yes, the summer is our busy season. I doubt that I could get very far away from home unless it is a family vacation where we shut down for a few days.

[loribell]

Hi DM! How's it going? Hope you are doing well. Are you going to get to see Ad at all over the holidays?

Katie - Don't worry about staying caught up. Take care of that term paper. Mac is doing cliff notes for Traice so you can catch up that way when you are done with the paper.

Tricia - I was totally confused on that last night too. Now it totally makes sense. Absolutely love the Christmas card.

I would imagine Scott's parents were a little less than thrilled. I nver did anything like that. Like I said last night I was an angel, just don't ask my parents.

Mac - Loved the beginnings of your card. I was thinking of asking for addresses from you guys but maybe I can just put it in here for all my homies.

Sharon - I agree, great idea for a DHW story line.


Have a terrific day everyone!

[yankeepenny]

if we meet , chicago or philly would be good for sharon and i -
less than a two hour plane ride.

dont care what month either.

[yankeepenny]

can anyone go for a few days in oct?

[RVGal]

Why this wound up on the Fox station in Colorado, I'll never know. The report and hotels in the piece are all from the Atlanta area. Anyway, I am in no way a germ-phobe or anything, but... ewwwww...

How do I make my pickle and snowman smaller? I tried to resize them in photobucket but that didn't work...

[marciemi]

Hi guys - guess where I am? Yep you got it - work!

Enjoyed the tombstone/drinking, alien stories! I'm again at least caught up on reading all the replies, if not responding! Mac - why do you stay up so late? I can understand Lori because I think she's in a different time zone (I could be wrong!). But I know you're in my zone!

Chicago would be a great place for a meet because I could drive down. Don't know if I'd be able to get away with flying anywhere (okay, I'm pretty sure I couldn't). We could all do the Segway tour along the waterfront! I've done it a few times already and it's a lot of fun. If not I'd vote for Orlando and bring DS14 along!

My uncle (and godfather) is in the process of moving to Celebration believe it or not! They're remodeling the house this year, but have told us we're welcome to stay (they have a guest apartment) once it's all done! Maybe that would reduce the cost enough to get it to fly with DH?

And I'm too busy working on my real (snail mail) Christmas cards to try to figure out virtual ones! Anyone wants a real one, just send me a PM! Although I think you guys have already seen all the pics in it and probably aren't interested in the rest (or have already heard it and more here!). I managed to shrink our 16 days down in Orlando to less than one paragraph so detailed it isn't!

Okay, back to pretending to work!

either place fine with me.
lots to do at both cities.

i suggested a date this summer as it is a long time to wait until october to see the homies. and, i thought it might interfer with those with the kidlettes and their school schedule.

can anyone go for a few days in oct?

i will be in philly a few days in oct. don't know the dates yet as meeting mr mac after his business conference.

i stay up late as i can't sleep until everyone in the house is asleep. it's a long story. don't want to bore you.
i have had to get by on as little as 3 hours of shut eye some days. on those days i start the coffee very early so i can stay awake in the classroom.

i quit posting at 2 and 3 in the mornings here as i know someone will ask how the card game went......:laughing:


i like playing pretend too marcie!

have never heard of anyone wanting their pickle smaller

I am bored! I am SO bored! Where is everyone?! Just two more hours of excruciating excitement here!

Sharon - I don't know! You might try the tech board, but they've never been too much help for me! I can't figure out how to get more in my signature - I obviously have a lot of wasted space, but I didn't have room for pickles, etc.

:eek:

or maybe she did......

[marciemi]

Hi Mac! Didn't see you there without your light on! I'm sorry, I guess I'm blond too because I'm pretty lost on your secret writings?! :confused3 I did find it on one where someone's quoted it and the white showed up on yellow, but sometimes (like in the tombstone story) you reference them and I can't find any. Help me!

And, by the way, still bored!

[macraven]

ok marcie, i'll deal the cards, wanna play.......winner take all

[macraven]

marcie, i use the white color to do invisible writings.
have done it off and on for some time.

i noticed someone found another one of mine in the tombstone story.




my mother told my children about the tombstone story.
she still is a tad peeved about it.

[marciemi]

Mac - I'd figured it was the white on white, but still couldn't find it anywhere in the story. Maybe it's the small monitor here at work and my eyes! I'll try harder when I get home!

What're we playing? Do you play Euchre or is that too much of a Michigan thing? Guess I could probably find solitaire on my computer and just play all by myself!

[Sharon G]

Hi Marcie - are you still at work? I have those days too where you have to try and look busy. I think it's more tiring than actually working!
Where I work, they have blocked the games on the computer..
Have a safe trip home.

[marciemi]

I am here, I am here, I am here! Work, that is! Yep, still here and still fascinated! Got about another 45 minutes to go. I think I can, I think I can!

Don't know if the games are blocked here. I'm just hoping they aren't tracking the sites I'm on. Although, most of the tmie I'm doing stuff simultaneously - typing and reading here while stuff is scanning and loading.

Basically the way my week works is that on Monday I work like crazy and manage to get everything done by the end of the day. On Tuesday, I can work at a normal pace, read the DIS, and still get everything done, but also kind of have enough to do (yesterday was an exception). Wednesday and Thursday, I finish what I have in half an hour and spend the next 5 doing busy work.

I really don't think I need to be coming in an hour early like they have me, but they keep insisting things will pick up after the first of the year. If they don't, by Feb or so, I'm going to ask to go back down an hour. And maybe even beg to have that hour at the end of the day so I could get home to the kids. Right now our after school time is impossible. But we'll see. For now - just bored!

[Sharon G]

Does anyone else use your work computer?
You should at least delete the browsing history.

[Metro West]

Evening all...what a crappy Wednesday! :mad:

First....I got up late and was rushing around the bathroom. Damn near slipped but to break my fall, I grabbed the toothbrush holder and pulled the damn thing off the wall. :rolleyes1

Then....driving into work, my window in the car got stuck and wouldn't go up and then something popped in the door....maybe a belt? :confused3

From there...the day got a little better but now I'm afraid the repair for the window is going to cost several hundred dollars....it's never cheap.

Anyway....the weather was nice so I can't complain about that.

Going to eat dinner....might be back later.

[marciemi]

Sharon - I actually work on 3 different computers. One is mostly "mine" and I really haven't worried about anyone going on the internet on that computer because they all have their own computers which are newer and faster so I can't imagine they'd take the time it takes on mine to get the internet to pull up, and if they did, there'd be a major reason for it so they probably wouldn't be taking the time to look at my browsing history.

The other computer I can pull up internet on, people do use, so I try not to use the internet there for other than work reasons. The few times I've used it for personal stuff, I've deleted the browsing history, but I think that would make them more suspicious than a site (disboards.com) that they wouldn't recognize or care about!

Guess I should delete mine every now and then, but I would just be more worried if they were tracking the actual time I'm on, not just the fact that I go to the sites. I think they know there are times I'm really not doing anything or can be doing two things at once. So that's why I tend to check and/or read, then click out each time so it doesn't look like I'm on the site all day.

And I'm home finally - yay! DS12 is going to go to the "Nifty Knitters" meeting at the library for the first time tonight. Don't know if it will be 3 little old ladies who know what they're doing or a bunch of clueless kids! Either way it will get him out of Religious Ed for the night so he's willing to try!

you had me until you mentioned the nice weather.
i was full of sympathy and was going to give you some encouragement.
when you mentioned sunshine, you blew it .........:sad2:

[macraven]

ok, now i will be the nice homie to you todd.


i had you scared there for a minute, eh..... :rolleyes1



you can replace the toothbrush holder so it was better that went instead of you. it hurts to go boom.........

i had that happen to my car with the window 2 years ago.
something snapped in the door and the electric window didn't move up or down. it happened during a thunderstorm. i went thru kfc drive thru, opened the window to get my food and then it went up 2 inches and it died.

i think you are close to the amount it will cost to fix it.


but, as long as it doesn't rain and as long as people don't rob you blind when you park your car at work in the lot, you might be able to get by with not having it fixed soon.........:rolleyes:


btw, what's for dinnner?

[RVGal]

Todd - Sometimes it doesn't pay to get out of bed, does it? If you were a girlfriend, I would tell you to snuggle into your comfy pjs with a quart of ice cream and your favorite chick flick and forget everything for a couple of hours. Since you are a guy, I dunno. Ummm... bubble bath? :confused3 :laughing:

Raven - Feel free to send that story in to Readers Digest. You can give me a cut of the royalties.

I had to replace the window motor in my car a couple of years ago. $300. :eek:

Did you ever get the window up? If your at all handy, the inside door panel of most cars comes off pretty easily and you could look and maybe see whats wrong. My son's car had a nut fall off the screw that held the window in the track. His wouldn't go up either. The nut was sitting at the bottom of the door. He screwed it back on and was good to go. It would be nice if it was something that easy.

What's for desert?

Guess I should delete mine every now and then, but I would just be more worried if they were tracking the actual time I'm on, not just the fact that I go to the sites. I think they know there are times I'm really not doing anything or can be doing two things at once. So that's why I tend to check and/or read, then click out each time so it doesn't look like I'm on the site all day.

And I'm home finally - yay! DS12 is going to go to the "Nifty Knitters" meeting at the library for the first time tonight. Don't know if it will be 3 little old ladies who know what they're doing or a bunch of clueless kids! Either way it will get him out of Religious Ed for the night so he's willing to try!

I worry about them tracking the time too. I work for a small company thou, and I don't think they would spend the money for the program that does that.

We have something like the "Nifty Knitters" at a coffee house in the town where I live. I'ts a great mix of all ages and skill levels. I'm amazed at all the kids who think it's cool to knit.
I just learned how to knit last Christmas when my mom was going thru her breast cancer stuff. Her sister from Florida who is a retired nurse came to stay with my mom for a few weeks. She is an awesome knitter. We had a lot of time on our hands as mom's surgery was rescheduled twice. My aunt ended up staying 3 weeks. So she taught me, my daughter, my mom and my sister how to knit. It was an awesome experience spending so much time together. We got together almost every night for a few hours. Had a bit of wine and some cheese and great conversation. I wish she and her husband lived closer. :sad2
I've since knitted 2 scarves, 2 felted handbags, and know I am working on a cabled sweater for myself. I'm in over my head on this one. I emailed the directions to my Aunt so she can help me when I get stuck!:

[RVGal]

Hey Marcie! I'm sorry I missed you earlier. I was out on the CB too. And, when I picture "Nifty Knitters" at a library... I definitely picture a bunch of blue haired old ladies. Probably wrong of me to stereotype like that, but that's the picture I get in my head.

[RVGal]

After I picked up Joshua from school, the boys and I spent about an hour with Carol today. She tires quickly these days, so I don't let the boys stay there for longer than that. She played a game of Monopoly with Joshua. Daniel ran around like crazy. It was a good afternoon.

I'm sitting here eating milk chocolate frosting straight from the tub. I'm feeling that blah-onset-of-depression thing, so I'm trying the quickest cure-all I know. Sugar.

[RVGal]

Sharon - One time my window got stuck open, but it was because I had that window shade film on it and it got wedged when I rolled the wrong window down. :rolleyes:

I didn't know why the window was stuck, so I took it to our local repair guy. He pushed on the window with his hand, yanked the film out, then rolled up the window. He looked at me and said, "That'll be a million dollars." :laughing:

I like it when car repairs turn out to be freebies!

[marciemi]

Well, I'll let you guys know how the Knitters turn out! Sharon - I think it would be more fun for DS if he knew anyone who knew how to knit or had actually had someone (Grandma or whatever) sit and teach him. He did the modern "look up the instructions online" technique, but somehow that loses the personal/nostalgic touch.

I also work for a small company (4 people) so I figure the same thing. If they really want to know what I'm doing, they'll come stand and look over my shoulder! Not like being at IBM or something where it would seem more likely they'd spend the money on things like that.

Todd - sorry to hear about the car. I worried about the same thing today - I opened the window to put a letter in the mailbox on my way out and it wouldn't close. It finally did, and I'm guessing it was because of the weather - it's a balmy 10 here right now! I'm going to guess that yours isn't for the same reason!

[Metro West]

Todd - Sometimes it doesn't pay to get out of bed, does it? If you were a girlfriend, I would tell you to snuggle into your comfy pjs with a quart of ice cream and your favorite chick flick and forget everything for a couple of hours. Since you are a guy, I dunno. Ummm... bubble bath? :confused3 :laughing:

Raven - Feel free to send that story in to Readers Digest. You can give me a cut of the royalties.

I had to replace the window motor in my car a couple of years ago. $300. :eek: Yeah...bubble bath isn't quite my thing unless you consider eating Mexican food and farting in the tub...I had to replace a window motor in my old car...about $455.00! :sad2:

ok, now i will be the nice homie to you todd.


i had you scared there for a minute, eh..... :rolleyes1



you can replace the toothbrush holder so it was better that went instead of you. it hurts to go boom.........

i had that happen to my car with the window 2 years ago.
something snapped in the door and the electric window didn't move up or down. it happened during a thunderstorm. i went thru kfc drive thru, opened the window to get my food and then it went up 2 inches and it died.

i think you are close to the amount it will cost to fix it.


but, as long as it doesn't rain and as long as people don't rob you blind when you park your car at work in the lot, you might be able to get by with not having it fixed soon.........:rolleyes:


btw, what's for dinnner?I had Hot Pockets (ham & cheese)..yum! I fixed the toothbrush holder and all is well in the bathroom world...at least until the Hot Pockets want to make their presence known. :rolleyes1

i'll get out my green marker pen for corrections.
i stopped using red to correct papers cause it made the kids sad.
i switched to green.........they don't cry as hard now with that color

[bubba's mom]

Hey guys..... (you can put yer marker away mac.....)

Sorry I wasn't around last night but I didn't get home till 9pm. Once I did get there, Bubba was just gettin' to bed, so I had to spend some "How was your day" time with him. We are having an "issue" at school...so, we are working on straightening that out. Then, "how was your day" conversation with DH. Then I grabbed dinner. By the time all that was finished and lunch was made, it was time to hit the hay :(
So, I apologize for not being around last night.....

HOWEVER, I am now ready to


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/barbpics/KetchupSmall.jpg............


a little.....

I bought my ornament today. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was close enough that I could live with it.

So I don't get fussed at for forgetting pictures,


Yesterday afternoon I managed to take care of this little task..hope to mail it Friday :rolleyes: . During my afternoon break, I stopped by the new outlet mall in Limerick. It was cold cuz they are outside, and I didn't find many deals (altho I spent $50 at the Lindt outlet :eek: :thumbsup2 ), but I had a nice time myself. Oddly enuf, while walking outside to the next destination, with bags in hand, it was snow flurrying....a typical "winter Christmas shopping" scene...felt like I was on the front of a Christmas card or in a movie :rotfl:

Anyhow, sorry to get sidetracked....Tricia, loved the pictures of the boys....school looked like a good time, but not half as good as the leaves :rolleyes1

[bubba's mom]

Celebrating Carol's birthday:
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/MooMonsters/CarolsBday.jpg


First, you have to know, I have already read and been current and then I start posting my ketchup.....so, with that said:

If I were you, I wouldn't steal this poor lady's holiday decorations.... look how sweet she is... :hug: She looks really good...hope the new year is much better for her and the family....

(I don't like to bring it up too often because that's real life, and this is a 'get away', but she does look great in that picture....she looks very happy to be with her family)

[RVGal]

i bet you are a whiz with the mac and cheese box


Raven is whizzing on Todd's mac & cheese box? :eek:

Hey guys.....
So, I apologize for not being around last night.....

Tricia, loved the pictures of the boys....school looked like a good time, but not half as good as the leaves :rolleyes1

S'okay! Good you had Bubba time. I'm pretty sure he should come before we do. Pretty sure. :rolleyes1

And, yeah, nothing quite beats jumping in a pile of leaves. :banana:

[bubba's mom]

...I don’t have any lime green crocs.

me either, but at the outlets yesterday, I did see the CROCS STORE! (and...I saw the LIME green ones...stuck out on the wall like a sore thumb! Let's just say they were on the wall at the back of the store, and I saw them from outside the store! :laughing: ) :eek: The first thought that popped into my head: Janet heaven :angel: Second thought? I don't own any Crocs and have no idea of the cost, so I didn't bother going in! :laughing:



Yeah KATIE where is that Halloween pic.
:confused3

[marciemi]

I had Hot Pockets (ham & cheese)..yum! I fixed the toothbrush holder and all is well in the bathroom world...at least until the Hot Pockets want to make their presence known. :rolleyes1

DS14 LIVES on Ham and Cheese Hot Pockets. He doesn't like any breakfast foods, so that's what he eats for breakfast, snacks, and any "you need to fix your own meal" meals! However, we buy the bulk packs (5 Hot Pockets per) and he considers that a "serving size" (the whole box!). The joys of having teenage boys!

DH and DS12 called and are on their way home from Nifty Knitters. Tricia (I think) - yep, you were right. It was Ethel and Mabel and Edna and Harriet - a slew of little old ladies, one older man, and DS! However, he said they were very nice to him and he had fun. The first time we saw this advertised, it was under the "Activities for Kids" section in the paper, so I guess I thought there might be some kids at it! :confused3 Either way, I guess he didn't have to go to Church School so he's not too unhappy!

Dropped the other 2 off at church school, DH and DS12 are doing some grocery shopping, and I'm here doing what I do best: drinking wine, eating cheese, and chatting with my homies!

[macraven]

Raven is whizzing on Todd's mac & cheese box? :eek:








oops..........i'm just full of surprises.
you thought i was gonna say sh!t didn't you....

:duck:




well, that rumor is better than the pg ones.

[macraven]

barb......i laughed so hard i had tears when i saw the ketchup bottles.

that was such a hoot!

you are so good at getting the best pics up here.

[Sharon G]

Sounds like something Jeff Foxworthy would say! How do you make a redneck jacuzzi? Eat mexican food and fart in the tub!

[bubba's mom]

Well...I sometimes miss the snow. After all...it's kinda hard getting into the Christmas spirit when it's 85 degrees outside....but....I manage. ;)

It's supposed to get into the mid 40's tonight here. http://bestsmileys.com/cold/11.gif


I'm sorry....were you looking for sympathy? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry051.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

Tell ya what...I will think of you tomorrow while I'm clearing the snow off my car :snooty:

I remember a few years ago it was REALLY warm here just before Christmas. People were actually complaining they weren't getting their shopping done and were having a hard time getting into the Christmas 'spirit' because the weather was so warm..... uh.... :confused3 I'm sorry....you're complaining you don't need to lug around a big, heavy winter coat while you're shopping and lugging around a ton of shopping bags? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry046.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

I got your comment :thumbsup2

[bubba's mom]

And, you have NO idea how hard it is for me to not talk about the ornament thing. I want to say who I was shopping for and what I wanted to get them and why I got them what I got them and... and... :bitelip: :hyper:

You can talk to me if you want.... :thumbsup2 (sshhh, i won't tell) I can't wait till we all spill the dirt and our explanations behind our purchases.... altho, I DID have THE darnest time pickin' mine out :headache: Actually had TOO many choices...but, I think I dun good! :goodvibes

[bubba's mom]

stealing the sister's outdoor christmas decorations reminds me of the tombstone i had.

every weekend one of that group would place it in my parents drive way and leave a note. after dad got over being pissed, he would move the tombstone over by the garage. that night, someone would come retrieve it.

and again, the next weekend it came back home to me.

this went on for 4 months. the time it was in our driveway with christmas lights all around it was the ending of it for the parents.

i had to hide that thing under my bed for the longest time.
i couldn't get my friends to stop stealing it back after dad would hide it in the back of the garage. so i had to hide it in my room.

my mother was not happy with me at all when they found it.
they moved to another house and when the movers took the beds, they mentioned to the folks they don't do tombstones.


:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: You have really GOT some good stories...you should share more often :teeth:


(when bf & i were dating and would 'park', we always went to the back of a used car lot....no law there either :rolleyes1 )

[bubba's mom]

now if i can get about 3 more pages filled up, no one will pay attention to my grave yard story.
and i surely hope no one calls the police on me to turn me in after all these years.....

don't worry....we won't! :thumbsup2

[bubba's mom]

Here is mine. Well, it isn't actually my story. This is one that an old friend of mine used to tell. When he was still in high school, he and his buddies used to gather in a vacant lot to do their drinking. Sorta the same theory you had... they were away from everyone else and never got bothered by the law. One winter night, they were standing around an oil drum burning whatever scrap wood they could find to keep them warm while they were drinking. Scott (my friend) drank way too much and passed out. His buddies drove him home and dumped him on his front lawn. They started to drive away, but being concerned friends, they decided that he might get cold lying there on his front lawn all night... so, they drove back to the vacant lot, put the burning barrel in the back of their pickup truck, took it back to Scott's house, and set it beside him on his front lawn.

Scott used to say that his parents were "less than pleased" to wake up and find their teenaged son passed out on the lawn with a barrel of junk smouldering beside him. :rolleyes1


:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: That is a good story too....glad to hear someone had good enuf sense to leave him with 'heat'.....altho, wouldn't it have been easier to ring the bell and run? :confused3 Guess when you're drunk, logic escapes you.... :rolleyes1

[bubba's mom]

Does anyone else use your work computer?
You should at least delete the browsing history.

At the salon, I take my laptop, so I can do as I wish :teeth: (boss doesn't care...she has wireless cable connection :goodvibes )
I very rarely have time to at the office.... Let's just say, at the office, (thanks to them) I have a more than 'overflowing' IN-bin :rolleyes1 ....oh, and the office manager that gave 4 weeks notice (vs. the usual 2 when you quit) and Friday was to be her last day...... yesterday at 4:45 they told her she could pack up her desk, take all her stuff and leave...said they'll pay her for the rest of the week..... Today I heard the reason they did that was to "thank her" for all her contributions to the company. :confused3 Nothing like resigning (on good terms) and then being made to "feel" like you're being fired :headache: What jerks....

[bubba's mom]

Evening all...what a crappy Wednesday! :mad:

First....I got up late and was rushing around the bathroom. Damn near slipped but to break my fall, I grabbed the toothbrush holder and pulled the damn thing off the wall. :rolleyes1

Then....driving into work, my window in the car got stuck and wouldn't go up and then something popped in the door....maybe a belt? :confused3

From there...the day got a little better but now I'm afraid the repair for the window is going to cost several hundred dollars....it's never cheap.

Anyway....the weather was nice so I can't complain about that.

Going to eat dinner....might be back later.

Again...I did read ahead, and it seems the day ended better than it started! I would gladly sacrifice the toothbrushes over my butt anyday :rotfl: (toothbrushes/holder hitting the floor doesn't hurt a bit!)

I hope your car isn't too expensive to fix...that is the reason DH doesn't
"prefer" auto-everything....more expensive (and more often) to fix :headache:

To be able to have the memory must be heartwarming! My Grandma tried to teach me when I was little...i was butterfingers all over the place :rotfl: But, I always cherish that time together :rolleyes: ...and I give my knowledge of "braiding" to her...she taught me.....

After I picked up Joshua from school, the boys and I spent about an hour with Carol today. She tires quickly these days, so I don't let the boys stay there for longer than that. She played a game of Monopoly with Joshua. Daniel ran around like crazy. It was a good afternoon.

Good to hear it was a good enough day to play Monopoly....I'm sure it brightened her day :goodvibes

It is very difficult to braid your own hair....my GF can do it (even french braid her own hair!), I can't (not that i wear it that way anyhows...) Would you believe when I graduated ***. skool, I couldn't french braid? :eek: I knew how to do it, but got all 'butterfingers' again....after some practice, I'm a whiz now..... Now, just happy the ole fingers don't cramp up afterwards..... :rotfl: (gettin' old sux :rolleyes: )

Do you enjoy prom season with the updos and braids, or is it a pain in the butt? My previous stylist hated it when girls brought in pictures of what they wanted, and the hairstyle was just impossible to recreate cause they didn't have the right kind of hair, or the expected her to have all the beaded hair clips etc. Plus they didn't tip very well if at all.

Hate it. They are picky and b**chy!!! And yes, most of the time, what is on top of their head isn't what I need to create what they want.... But, usually I had them come in beforehand for a "trial"...like a bride would.... and we'd get the 'kinks' out. Luckily, my prom gals are behind me...besides 1 client/friend's daughter.... Most of my "kids" are of elementary age, I have a couple middle skool boys, 1 high skool boy and 1 girl...the rest are in college (a few of them freshmen)...so, I don't fret prom season anymore. I am also at the point where I really only do MY clients...not any 'salon' clients.... And yes, after the dress, hair (usually minimum of $50), shoes, purse, jewelry and other expenses, the Mom's are tired of shelling out $$ and cheap-out on the tip...but, if they do that, they mysteriously have a price increase next time i see them :rolleyes1

Nope...haven't changed anything in the sig.... I won't 'post it' if it doesn't look right to me.... I 'preview' it, but have found that even then, when it's actually posted on the boards, sometimes it's cut off.... so, it must be your settings/monitor :confused3 I know Marcie had a problem, but I think she figured it out.

[bubba's mom]

Marcie... I wanted to mention I read about the "knitters" thing.... glad to hear he had fun...sometimes with boys that age, 'hanging out' with lol's (Little Old Ladies) isn't "cool"....he's an admirable young man to have fun with lol's and learn a thing or two....good for him :thumbsup2

[bubba's mom]

And with that said.... I believe all 7 of my ketchup bottles have run dry....time for bed.....

Catch the morning shift tomorrow ;)

Nite all.....

[KStarfish82]

Alright, 4 out of 10 pages done....if I can manage 3 for the next 2 nights, I should be golden.

Have to hit up the dentist AGAIN..:mad: Now it's the other side of my mouth and the bottom row!!! I can't bite into a pickle slice on that side its so sensitive!! I am gonna make this dentist rich....



Mac, I need those cliff notes for the weekend for my catching up.

Well nitey nite all!

[the Dark Marauder]

Hi DM! How's it going? Hope you are doing well. Are you going to get to see Ad at all over the holidays?
Nay, I won't be able to see her until Feb.

I've been watching old movies recently. Why did nobody tell me that Child's Play was so funny???? For a "Horror" movie, I :rotfl: a whole lot!

[macraven]

morning homies.
it is one degree.

gotta get my comments in now that barb is still snoozing.
then, dash off to work.

My son is a whiz with ramen noodles. He also eats spaghettios straight out of a can. Where did I go wrong!:confused3


a great man he will become.
wow, he even eats them cold, right out of the can. i am impressed

Hmmm... So THAT is what it is...being a Leo! Here I've been thinking it's the 'blonde' thing.... :rolleyes:



i'm a Leo and so are you barb

thanks...i feel like i had that many posts to ketchup on reading.... :(

hey.... I own the last page (547)

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/whacky084.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

that's a first for me...I've never owned a whole page before.....



.....then again, probably easier when you're the 'night shift' and talk to yourself after everyone has gone to bed :lmao:


congrats on owning the page.

do it again!

Barb - your snowman lost one of his balls. He's only 2/3 of a snowman now!

at least on my monitor.


gee, i didn't notice

Alright, 4 out of 10 pages done....if I can manage 3 for the next 2 nights, I should be golden.

Have to hit up the dentist AGAIN..:mad: Now it's the other side of my mouth and the bottom row!!! I can't bite into a pickle slice on that side its so sensitive!! I am gonna make this dentist rich....



Mac, I need those cliff notes for the weekend for my catching up.

Well nitey nite all!


hope the dentist can make you better.
it is cruel to have that type of pain

:hug: I know how you feel.... (I had 7 pages of ketchup :guilty: ).....

Sorry to hear more teeth problems....and yes, your dentist should feel lucky to have a 'good' patient like you :rolleyes1 Hey! He did a great job on the other side...right? Get it all fixed up now, so you have no problems later on.....

Why did nobody tell me that Child's Play was so funny???? For a "Horror" movie, I :rotfl: a whole lot!

:confused3 Been SO long since I've seen it, I don't remember it being funny.... :confused3 I do remember enjoying it...glad you did too! Sorry you won't get to see Ad over the holidaze....but, let's hope this is the last one apart ;)

[bubba's mom]

morning homies.
it is one degree.

:eek: :cold: It's 15 degrees here and it feels like 9 out...or something like that...i haven't gone out yet!

gotta get my comments in now that barb is still snoozing.

and what is THAT supposed to mean..... :snooty:









;) :laughing:


i'm a Leo and so are you barb

:eek: I am!!!! How exciting!!!! :banana:

congrats on owning the page.

do it again!

nah....don't want to get a 'reputation' :rolleyes1

[RVGal]

It's COLD here this morning! We actually have frost on the ground. Brad had to start his truck and defrost the windows before he could drive to work. I think it got down to 28 last night. :eek: Our high today is only 50, but we get back into the 60s again tomorrow. We usually don't get below freezing until late December/early January. I hope they got all the trailers winterized or there may be some cracked pipes. :sad2:

I won't be around much today. Gotta shop. Again. :headache:

Uhhhh...... :rolleyes: Had to send my baby to skool in 15 degree weather :( .... We've HAD frost and i heard DH scraping icy snow off his car this morning...tell Brad that...that will make him feel better..... And your LOW is 28?? That's our high! :rotfl2: ahhhh...to live in the south :rolleyes: someday, i say, someday......

Have a great day shopping....I'm out the door right now to get busy with that :thumbsup2

Hope you have good luck!!! :goodvibes

[yankeepenny]

since you all really dont know me or where i work, and i can trust you to be quiet, as we can share things here......

here goes:
the firing squad was out yesterday.
lets just say, this was what the office was like when the offical email that a certain someone was out the door:

now , before you get all sympathetic during the holidays, this was a much, hhhmmm ..for lack of a better work, UNLIKED PERSON. this individual could suck the happiness right outa the best moment ever, like remember when the hostages were released when reagan was sworn in and the whole country cheered? well, then after you would have a moment like the woman presumed dead in fatal attraction that tried to kill Michael Douglas in the bathtub one more time and everyy person watching had the bejesus scared right outa them.....
that kind of person.

anyway....
there i was ....humming a tune.....not even thinking about the tune....then i start to sing the words in my head......
and it was....I AM NOT KIDDING YOU.....

ding dong the witch is dead! which old witch? the wicked old witch! ding dong the wicked witch is dead......................



told yah i was monkish.... maybe i should see if Tony Shaloub needs a sidekick........

[marciemi]

Penny - sounds like it's for the best that they're gone! Congrats! :banana:

Got the rest of you beat - when I went out walking this morning, it was -6 without the wind chill! Wore my face mask and around my mouth it froze in a pattern where I'd breathe in and out - sucked in on the side of my mouth and blown out in the middle! My eyes were watering and then freezing just as fast! Maybe it was a bit cold to be out!

Katie - sorry to hear about your dental pain. My mom went through a lot of that and it ended up just being miserable. Seems like every time you solve something it starts something else. Hopefully since you're obviously a lot younger than she is they'll be able to solve it this time! Good luck!

[RVGal]

Katie - It sounds like you are making your dentists car payment for them again this month... or house payment depending on the size of the bill. Hopefully this will be the end of the teeth drama for you!

Barb - You and Brad must be related. He grew up in Minnesota. He HATES the cold. As soon as he graduated from high school, he packed up his meager belongings and moved to Florida (where he eventually attended college). The one or two times a year that it snows here, I'll say how pretty it is... and he'll always say something about how he saw all the snow he ever wanted to see in the first 18 years of his life. He doesn't need to see it again. Ever.

Penny - If you were subconsciously humming Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, it MUST be cause for celebration that your coworker got fired! :laughing: :cool1:

Marcie - I don't even think our temps know how to go into the negatives down here.

DM - I have never seen Child's Play. The last horror film I saw was one of the Halloween sequels... the bad one that had nothing to do with Michael Myers... and I saw it in the theater during its original release. I was in high school and succombed to peer pressure. :rolleyes:

:eek: omgosh..... (oh, and that one was my fav :rolleyes1 ) I hope nobody heard you singing.... "don't let your true feelings be heard Penny".... Ya know, I believe we all have at least 1 person like that at work.... ;) It really wouldn't sadden any of us if they were fired..... now... how can i fire my bosses :scratchin .... :laughing:

Note to self: no need to visit Marcie in the winter .....
That is just entirely too cold..... (that's the good cozy pj & hot chocolate day :goodvibes )

:scared1: We say the same thing!! :rotfl: .....of course, when we realize snow is in the forecast...... Actually I HATE cold, snow, cold wind...all of it. DH "doesn't mind" the cold, but hates the snow. You married a very smart man :thumbsup2 And, guessing I've never met you in person, or attended your wedding or any other family affairs, that leads me to believe, that no...I'm not related to Brad (altho, we could try to arrange something :scratchin ).......

Peer pressure....does it every stinkin time!! :headache: :laughing:

Oh and Tricia.....meant to ask how you made out shopping..... 6 hours out and I did pretty good.... DH even bought me something ;) :rotfl:

Lookit my ticker.... :scared1: .....tick, tick, tick.....jolly ole fat man will be here soon.... http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/scared002.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/scared002.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/scared002.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/scared002.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

Hope to catch you l8rs tonite.....(BUT, that depends if CSI is a rerun or not....)

[macraven]

i didn't have my glasses on when i read rose's post ending.

ok, it was in the paper, come back and tell us about it please

[RVGal]

Barb - I did okay shopping. I got Joshua 2 pairs of pants on sale and Mom got him the $40 special edition Super Mario Bros Monopoly. I wouldn't get him a $40 Monopoly game, but if Grandmom feels the need... I'm not going to stand in her way! :rolleyes1

It's indoor soccer now, right? No more butt frozen to the bleachers stuff?

Rose - You sound busy. Glad you stopped in for a quick "hi"!

Raven - I live WAY southeast of you. It was 28 when I got up this morning. We're supposed to have temps in the 70s over the weekend. Weird. :confused3

[macraven]

Barb - You and Brad must be related. He grew up in Minnesota. He HATES the cold.


[/COLOR][/SIZE]

i know we had this conversation before as it happened when you first arrived to the group.
i just don't want to go back many pages to find the answer.

He was born in Albert Lea... moved to Red Wing when he was about 3... then to Mankato when he was 5 until he was 18 and headed south.

[macraven]

yes tricia, you live more southeast of me and our okie and other homie live southwest of all of us..



i have only worked this week at skool.
i have no time to play on the computer. i think this is why i turned down jobs in the past. it is boring to work all day.

mr mac just hates it when i say that......

i haven't started christmas here yet.
no shopping, no card sending, heck, don't even have cards yet, no baking, no decorating, no tree up..........

but i did buy my ornabuddy thingy.
but need to stick it in the mail ............



i need a wife to do all the things that have to be done for the holiday

[macraven]

He was born in Albert Lea... moved to Red Wing when he was about 3... then to Mankato when he was 5 until he was 18 and headed south.

did he live near 3rd street over looking the bluff when he was in red wing?
it's near the reservation.

[ky07]

Thought I would stop by and say hi to all you homies:grouphug:

[marciemi]

Hi guys - I had a :sad1: day at work today. My boss was being a complete dweeb. Once again yelling at me for something that I had NEVER had explained to me before. I tried, politely, to say that he hadn't gone over it and he was just ranting and raving. I'm sitting there at the computer with my back to him. You know how you get where your throat tightens up and your eyes fill with tears and you know that if you have to say a word your voice is going to break and the tears are just going to overflow? :sad2:

Well, obviously, I was at that point. Finally, I had to turn to look at him and I think he realized it at about the same time. He just yelled that he was going back in his office and left. I sat there upset for awhile, then went on to some other work. A bit later he came back in and more calmly tried to talk me through some of the steps for what I was supposed to be doing before realizing that I did NOT have the capability on my computer to do what he wanted me to (never mind that I'd never even been told about this before). So he told me never mind, he'd take care of it.

When I went back in later to talk to him about something else, he did apologize for "raising his voice" because he's "wound pretty tightly" right now. Guess that's the best I'm going to get. Yes, I realize he has a lot on his plate right now. His FIL is in the hospital and his son is getting married next weekend. Yes that would stress anyone out. But my point is (that he keeps ignoring): Fine, I don't mind being yelled at. But preferable when I've done something wrong, not because I don't know about something I've never been told!

[marciemi]

Okay, enough of the whining! Today I saw the most perfect ornament in a catalog for one of you, but of course it wasn't the person I had and I've already sent mine. Maybe next year? :confused3

Tricia - we're in indoor soccer here (if you read my earlier post you can probably figure out why!).

Barb - don't blame you for not wanting to visit. DS12 has a piano recital next weekend and he and his teacher are playing an awesomely impressive duet. (I'm REALLY hoping DH can figure out how to get it on youtube - if any of you guys have any tips, suggestions, or help on that I'd appreciate it!). Anyways, I'd told my parents about it. My dad has never been out to visit since we moved 18 months ago. Suddenly they called today to ask if they should fly out for it. I'm trying to explain that it's not THAT exciting (I'll tape it for them) and this really isn't the best time of year for a visit!

Tricia - yeah, peer (or especially boy/girlfriend) pressure will do that! DH was sitting with DS and his girlfriend at a volleyball game before Halloween listening to them talk. GF asked DS if he liked haunted houses. He says he HATES them. Next night - guess what they're doing? You got it - going to a haunted house! :rotfl: Ah, to be young and have that kind of influence again!

Well, off to do some Christmas cards!

[RVGal]

Thought I would stop by and say hi to all you homies:grouphug:

Hi right back at ya'! :wave2:

Hi guys - I had a :sad1: day at work today. My boss was being a complete dweeb.

Oh, ICK! How terrible. I know exactly what you mean about being on the verge of tears and if you say something you'll break. You are still looking for another job, right?

did he live near 3rd street over looking the bluff when he was in red wing?
it's near the reservation.

I will see if he remembers where they lived. I might have to ask his parents since he was so young when they were there. I'll find out somehow. Maybe you guys knew each other way back when. Wouldn't that be weird!

i'll bring a carton of toilet paper.
google me the directions to mr meanie's home.

and one more howdy do to you k07.....
have you had the kid stay home yet this week??????

i can send you super glue


tricia, that would be way kewl if they knew

[macraven]

i made chicken and dumplings for dinner.

3 out of 4 ate it.
one is still in his room but i'll hold his plate for him.

might be midnight when he gets hungry so glad microwaves were invented

i took a pass on dinner.
i made my rocky road chocolate ice cream in my cup for dinner and then put my jammies on by 6:05 tonight.

i'm craving coffee now.
ice cream does that to me.

[RVGal]

tricia, that would be way kewl if they knew

Brad says he doesn't remember the road, but he's pretty sure they were in Burnside subdivision... or something like that. I can get more specifics from FIL I'm sure.

[loribell]

Hi guys. I'm not going to be able to respond to all I have missed, computer keeps locking up on me so I am giving up. I will try to catch up tomorrow on a different computer.

I wanted to say hi to everyone and let you know I have read everything. I did want to respond to Marcie though.

Wow, that guy is a jerk. With that and all the problems you are having keeping up with all the stuff with the boys, it's just not worth it. I hope you can find something else soon. Heck, subbing would have to be better than this! Anyway, I'm thinking about you. Hope it gets better soon.

Hey, I think I may have actually got something posted!

Nite everyone.

[bubba's mom]

Barb - I did okay shopping. I got Joshua 2 pairs of pants on sale and Mom got him the $40 special edition Super Mario Bros Monopoly. I wouldn't get him a $40 Monopoly game, but if Grandmom feels the need... I'm not going to stand in her way! :rolleyes1



Hey...if Mom is spending it...do NOT, i repeat do NOT stand get between her and her money :rotfl: Let her spend it on them, that is what being a grandparent is all about. Spending on the grandkids (yeah yeah, forget all about us kids in the meantime :rolleyes1 ) I'm sure one day WE'LL spend the money on the grandkids..... :rolleyes:



i have only worked this week at skool.
i have no time to play on the computer. i think this is why i turned down jobs in the past. it is boring to work all day.

:rotfl: maybe 'personal assistant' would sound better :confused3 ...just a thought..... :rolleyes1

Mr. Mac should be helpin' you out....remember, you're a "team" ;) in this crazy ride we call 'life' :thumbsup2

Thought I would stop by and say hi to all you homies:grouphug:

Hidy, ho!!! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/greet013.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) Good to see you popping in...where ya been?? Preparing for holiday festivities???

[the Dark Marauder]

My boss was being a complete dweeb.I haven't heard anyone use the term "Dweeb" in so long! :rotfl:

But hopefully everything Gets Better. :goodvibes

[bubba's mom]

Hey Lori...glad to see you were able to get something posted.... :goodvibes Hope you are able to use a different computer tomorrow.....

Hi guys - I had a :sad1: day at work today. My boss was being a complete dweeb.

First, what a jerk!! (I haven't heard the term "dweeb" in like.... :scratchin ....forever.... :confused3 ) Some men really 'get off' on "power trips" and don't realize it. Glad he could read it all over your face....I hope he felt like sh*t!!! ;) I believe in "what goes around, comes around"...sooner or later....just be patient. :surfweb:

Today I saw the most perfect ornament in a catalog for one of you, but of course it wasn't the person I had and I've already sent mine. Maybe next year? :confused3

uh....HELLO?!?!?! Please be sure to mention this next week....I'm dying to know what it was (& who for....) http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/excited001.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)


(I'm REALLY hoping DH can figure out how to get it on youtube - if any of you guys have any tips, suggestions, or help on that I'd appreciate it!).
It's my DH that is the resident 'computer geek'....so, I haven't a clue how to help you :confused3 ...and, you're not finished those Christmas cards yet.... :confused3 whatcha waitin for....Christmas??? :confused3





:lmao: (i kill me...again!)




i took a pass on dinner.
i made my rocky road chocolate ice cream in my cup for dinner and then put my jammies on by 6:05 tonight.

i'm craving coffee now.
ice cream does that to me.

(i'm tellin' Curves on you.... http://bestsmileys.com/nono/1.gif)

[marciemi]

Thanks for the support guys! Wow - guess I'm stuck back in the 80's or something - didn't realize "dweeb" was that out of date! :lmao: Guess I was trying to use a more "board family friendly" word rather than the one I would have liked to use!

Mac - thanks for the offer! Maybe we could have shared some of that rocky road ice cream, although I'm really not an ice cream person (especially in December!) I'm relaxing again with my favorite wine and cheese! I diffused by watching CSI with the family (and venting during the commercials)! Of course my boss also insisted today that CSI was going to be a rerun. I didn't argue with him, but who wants to bet that if he didn't tape or watch it, somehow it will be my fault! :rotfl: So, is it snowing down by you? We're expecting a couple more inches tonight. And my wimpy friend I walk with every day didn't go with me this morning just because it was "too cold" - what a weenie!

Anyways, I'm not looking hard for a job right now (probably because I just don't have the time to!), but maybe after the holidays. Honestly, I was at the point today of just walking out. I'm not a yeller, so I probably would have said something like "sorry, this isn't going to work out" and just left. Maybe kinda wishing I had. Other than the stuff I do directly for this boss though (maybe 10 percent of my overall work), I don't mind what I do and I like the other 2 people who work there. I keep hearing the "boss" is considering early retirement or at least reduced hours. Can't come soon enough for me!

Barb - the Christmas cards are done, as in printed out, but now I'm writing those personal messages to everyone. And waiting for DH to ever finish printing out the envelopes so I could actually mail them! If your DH does ever have any suggestions - please let me know! Do you know if you can post youtube videos from regular videos or does it have to be digital video? And I'll let you know about the ornament once we all get our secrets! Didn't get mine yet! (But I'm sure neither did my person!)

But on the plus side! For me - IT'S THE WEEKEND! I don't work Fridays so I have 3 days without my meanie boss! So let's see, what's on the agenda? For tomorrow morning I get to sit home and wait for the plumber to come! Don't think I told you guys, but the toilet in our bathroom decided to start leaking from all around the base this morning. Since DH and I are both completely non-plumbing-inclined, I turned off the water and they're coming in the morning. Which means that if I need to go during the night, I have to use my kids' "super stinky" bathroom! :scared: Let me tell you, three boys in one bathroom is not a good thing!

Then my kids have a half day of school so I'll be taking DS15 and his girlfriend to the mall in the afternoon. And going to a soccer game in the evening. Still sounds WAY better than going to work don't you think? Well, I'm off to bed. Talk to you guys tomorrow!
