[goslingl]

Yeah I got a googley!!!

 

[goslingl]

Can I get a FO too before I go back to work?

 

[thegrays]

That would be great! It would take him all year but it would be amazing.

What would be amazing - seeing the lights, or him crawling all over that monster? He'd have to be like Spidey or something.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (Written by kids)

(1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
- Alan, age 10

(2) No person really decides before they grow up whom they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
- Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

(1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
- Camille, age 10

(2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

(1) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

(1) Both don't want any more kids.
- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

(1) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

(2) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
- Martin, age 10 (Who said boys don't have brains?)

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

(1) I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

(1) When they're rich.
- Pam, age 7 (I could not have said it better myself)

(2) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- Curt, age 7 (Good Point)

(3) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
- Howard, age 8 (Who made the rule?)

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

(1) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favourite is.........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

(1) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
- Ricky, age 10 (The boy already understands)

Both, of course we would all have to be there for the lighting of the house. Chris would have enough room for all of us. I will bring the KY bourbon.

That is TOO FUNNY! I'm going to copy it & send it to Teresa - she's a 2nd grade teacher.

Paige can bring her white litnin'. Teresa & I would be the designated drivers, since we don't drink. Sounds like a fun party, tho!

If I started packing now I just know that Harrison or Julia would just HAVE to go in there and FIND something. It could be filled with broccoli, brussel sprouts and cooked cabbage and they would need one of those.

Nooooooooooo, its against the law.... Ellis knows better than that... I've taught him well... his Father on the other hand is a royal pain in the @ss. He does occasionally take something out - I refuse to remind him to put it back and then gloat when we're on holiday and he has eg no shaving foam or not enough undies

You are just way too organized. Can you come visit me for at least a week and hopefully some of that would rub off on me!

I'm an organising freak. I re-organise everything. My last but one job suited me perfect;y - I was a trouble shooter for a big chemical company. I went into every department, did it their way for a few days then redid it all my way and saved the company hundreds of man hours. The trouble was I did too good a job, did every department and then got made redundant Lifes a beeeeetch

It took me less than a week to reorganise the PTA stuff when I joined. They'd been running with some stooooopid system for years. Now the stuff takes half the time.... can't understand why they didnt do it before?

Karen, I had forgotten your birthday was the same as Alex's. That is too cool.

An excellent day

I love the pictures!!! I am a big history buff so I can not get enough of them. I am envious of the fact that you can trace your heritage back hundreds/thousands of years.

Neils Dad did their family tree back generations. I must admit, most Brits take all the history for granted. We have castles within a 30 minute drive and have never even visited them I've only recently started going to stuff like this - usually if Ellis is doing a project about it at school etc.

Chris great job on the house.

He did didn't he!

I need that recipe; our favorite is a Taco soup, that is 2 points for a cup. My daughters love it, too.

Its REAL easy. I believe Nancy made a batch too and enjoyed it.

Here you go:

2 onions
1 large butternut squash
1 or 2 red peppers
2 pints of stock - veggie or chicken
seasoning

Chop it all into smallish cubes.

I also add carrots, cauliflower or swede etc to make it a bit thicker. Anything you like really! I also add either chilli sauce or mustard or soy etc for an extra kick.

Just chop it all together, simmer in a pan til soft and blend - voila! - zero point soup! - its lovely.

Its noce if you keep some veggies back before you blend then chop them slightly finer and add them in for texture so its not all totally blended.

As a treat sprinkle a little blue cheese on the top once you've reheated it.

Now we need to get Steve over there to put up the lights.

 

[Karen Mouse]

I will bring the KY bourbon.

Oooooooh - I'll be at your party

Me likey bourbon

The future of Marvel????

Sounds good to me; I'll have to whip up a batch of it sometime soon. I think my favorite dinner soup on the boat is the butternut squash; I ate mine, my wife's, and Heathers, too!

I love butternut squash too. I love all veggies though. I'm not really a fruit person except for strawberries and melon.

I bought loads of individual freezer containers that stack up. Make a big batch and freeze it in portions - it takes just 4 minutes to reheat from frozen and its no points for lunch

 

[JLDSMD]

Afternoon all. Just checking in to see what's going on.

Lots of posting I see.

 

[JLDSMD]

Butternut squash is one that I get to on the ship.

DW loves the Forest Mushroom one.

Geez, its real cold here this evening. Autumns definately on the way. The leaves are turning already

 

[JLDSMD]

Paige or Chaz, one of you needs to change your avatar. Too confusing for this old man.

Autumn is already here in WI. Only had about 10 days of summer this year.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Afternoon all..

Good evening Jeff. (I've forgiven you for the breadcrumbs...or should I say, lack of them)
