Hey everyone...

A little drama in our house this afternoon. I was spreading some lime in the front yard, and after the bus stopped, I heard DD wailing as she came up the street.

On the bus on the way home, she found a tick on her neck and was all worked up. Last year, she got Lyme Disease, after we found a tiny deer tick on her. This was the larger dog tick, so I assured her she would be ok. As she was doing her homework, she kept telling me how "buggy" she felt.

She must have got it on her in school, as Elaine would have spotted it when she did her hair this morning. Her school is kind of in the woods and has a lot of grass around it.

She is fine now. She finished her homework, and darted outside!

Haven't seen the history books. You'll have to PM me the author or a link to them. I'm sure Suz will order them. He is really in to history.

I'll look them up for you

Bye Karen, see you in 16 posts.

I forgot! Who got it?

 

[Karen Mouse]

I should have known... well done Jeff

L has a low fever now, a raspy cough and is really, really tired. Can't keep even white soda down. He said he was feeling better about 30 minutes ago, but when he went down stairs to try and eat he said he didn't feel good anymore. Once he's up from lying down, he gets worse. He's had hardly any fluids today either. He just won't keep them down. Dr won't be happy when we go in tonight. We were thinking of cancelling the appt and waiting another 24 hours (nurse's recommendation if he felt better), but now will go in as planned.

Get well soon L

We saw this on Jon and Kate plus 8 the other day... I think I'm right in saying we dont get them over here? I'd be freeked out if I saw one

Big hugs to her

Off to watch the Oprah show - The McCanns are on tonight

Lets see if she rips into them for leaving their kid alone so they could scoff on dinner or whether she's polite

What are we having?

I need to go make some lunch for myself. I'm home with DS and he didn't want to eat. Not sure what he's sick with. We have 6:30 appt tonight. He woke up this morning crying with really bad pains in his stomach. No appetite today and very tired. Plus a raspy cough and other aches.

Egg salad sandwiches today Poor guy...hope he feels better soon!!!

Does anyone else think it would be funny if they sent Cass a Minnie ticket?

One year they sent us Mickey and Minnie on our 7-day hoppers. I grabbed Mickey like there was no tomorrow....Rob says "Hey, how did I get stuck with the tramp???" (ok, it was a much less Disneyfied word than tramp)

I spy through my googly eye: Jeff!

JLDSMD (Jeff) got the 100th post and therefore earns a BOBer !!!

Every 100th post = 1
Every 500th post = 2
Every 1000th post = 3

The current score is:

JLDSMD - 1 (1700)

Next awarded at 1800!

I can just see the final tally before the cruise....Jeff X 37,000 ....everyone else....zilch!!

 

[njprincess]

Can we go backwards and count too?

And for the record, we're talking on the current thread, correct? Not the running tally, which we're not to another 5,000th overall post until next thread.

No counting backwards!

The game is for the current thread. When a new thread is started, the first will be awarded for the 100th post, and so on. Post #3750 (should be the last post on any thread, although I know we've gone past) gets 5 .

The count, however, will be cumulative and will keep going until midnight on 10/23. Whoever has the most by then wins a special prize, presented by MG, at the 1st onboard BOB meet. Probably a 2nd and 3rd place too. Unless the contest is won by a FOBOBer , then you will have to appoint someone to receive the award for you.

Oh, one more rule: no more than 10 posts in a row, from one person, to claim a ! Otherwise, you will forfeit your

Everybody got it? Any questions? I guess I have volunteered to be the score keeper. It will get harder when more people are on and posting. And don't forget the nasty 40 second rule!

Good Luck Everyone!!!

 

[Scouter]

that was my first dance lesson. and i only had 3 hrs sleep that day.

i thought i was doing pretty good.

robin's grounded by the way...no smoochers for her.

Loving the photos Mike and Robin

Great dance video Mike, I can't wait to show Bob!

And any known alias' will count towards your thread too!

How about bonuses for the person who wins each individual thread? (i.e. most on the thread gets 5 extra or something)

Hey everyone...checking in from work. We are having a music rehersal tonight as we have a competition on Saturday. I brought my work laptop to connect to our network to run updates.

 

[Dyerneeds]

No mate the dancing was but hey you tried mate,you tried...Maybe only now were finding out what Mike really bought in St Martins.....

NEW BOBer GAME !!!!!​

OK, some of you will recognize this game but it seems like a lot of fun so the thought was that we could play it too. I did not make up this game either rather it was loaned to us.

It will be a posting game. At every 100th post on the thread, the poster will receive a to add into their siggie line. Someone will need to keep track of all awarded though. Let’s see who can get the most by the time we cruise.

Of course, all posters, BOBers and FOBOBers(Friends of BOBers) are invited to play.

Does this sound like something everyone would want to play? Will anyone volunteer to keep track of our ?

sounds like a game invented for jeffy.

 

[Dyerneeds]

The letter that comes with the tickets says that CHILDREN are encouraged to wear costumes....

Wonder if they are trying to discourage adults wearing them

great that you got your tickets.

i think we're going as mr and mrs incredible again.

 

[Dyerneeds]
