Mike, do you still talk to any of those kids?

The kid up top 4th from the right looks like a little Vinnie Barbarino. Wha? Wheah? (Sorry, that's my best New Youk accent).

Question for Jeff (aka "Can Find A Deal Anywhere Numbers Boy)

Car rentals....any way to get a good deal? Suggestions on how to search?

the only thing I've learned so far is to tack at least $100 onto whatever "base rate" they give you for taxes/fees, etc....

Depends where you're renting. Airports seem to be tacking on a lot of fees lately - Vegas I think was around 50%.

I just booked my car from DL down to Long Beach this morning and got a full-size for $33, taxes included, for the day.

I'll need to rent a car at the Phoenix airport for our AZ/DL trip.....my mom's 2 seater car will not fit us all!

I'm also trying to figure out what size car to rent...some of the sites have a Ford Focus or similar for an economy model (which is what Pete drives) but Ford has several styles of Focus, and I don't want a 2 door car. I'm also worried that most of the smaller cars say they fit only 2 suitcases???

I think the car rental is going to be a tough decision - mainly because I have never rented a car myself before! We've had rental cars while our cars have been in the shop a couple times, but we have never done this before.

ok gang. heres your laugh of the day.
first person to identify underdog correctly wins a strawberry smoothie.

Question for you dawg, what is the teachers name?

yes i do. it was mrs. greene.

i remember quite a few of this gang. we had about 450 in my entire grad class
and a lot of these kids moved away long before that but...i remember...

we had one girl named Nancy. we gave her the nickname miss goose because she kept going around goosing all the guys. not sure why?
she spent a lot of time in the principals office..
i hear she got married to some guy in WI who is the aire to the starkist tuna
company.

two of those kids got married. i think there names were Walt and Di. i hear they moved to texas and bought a harley. now they just travel the country. and walt owns SW airlines.


you know how every class has a kid everyone picks on. we had a kid like that named Jeff. he was always off in the corner with his protractor.
we used to call him numbers kid.
guess he had the last laugh though as i hear he's a millionaire living in WI with a really nice wife.(like me, he married way out of his league)

i hear the girl named Cass invented the internet and married some DJ (rick D
or casey casem?)and are hiding out in the frozen tundra that is Canada.
they have a beautiful girl named kira.

a couple of girls were always in trouble for flashing their bloomers to the boys.
i think their names were Karen and Paige.
i hear Karen moved to UK in search of a cheap water camera and Paige married that guy from Top Gun.

at lunch time i always sat with the little red haired girl named Lori. we didnt like our food touching so we sat off by ourselves all the time so kids wouldnt tease us. i hear she married a nuclear physicist or something.
i also heard in his spare time, scott is a dance instructor with Arthur Murrey studios.

a real shy girl named Becky moved to mayberry and married a guy who's a deputy.(barney fife?) you gotta watch out for those shy girls.

there was another girl named Brenda who i hardly ever talked to. she was real nice but was always in the corner reading and writing. she used to sit there and mumble argle bargle or something. i hear she had a book on Times best sellers list. also, as kids one day, i was eating an ice cream cone and she offered to flash me in exchange for my ice cream.
(underdog aint dumb, i gave her the cone)

another one of those shy girls was Jen. I always wanted to get to know her a little better but there was this boy Pete she was dating and he wouldnt let us near her. I hear they live in WI also and she's been busy planting money tree's.

one of the classy girls of the class was named heather. she didnt graduate with us because after a few years they discovered she was a long lost princess and aire to the throne and they wisked her off to England.

we had a mystery kid named Chris also. no one knew anything about him and he seemed to never work but somehow has billions of dollars. He's a world traveler now and the ladys really seem to "dig" him. he truly is an
International Man of Mystery.

one kid named Andy they could never get to sit in his desk. he always wanted to do his schoolwork out on the porch at the side of the school.
we used to call him porch boy, but now i hear he spends his time taking cruises and still sits outside, only now on his Verandah.

i hear the girl named janice married the subway guy "mark". he's lost a lot of weight and looks great. i guess he's Magnum PI of something as he works in law inforcement.

Cheryl married her childhood sweetheart Al and they rode that WI money tree all the way to the bank. they have a sweet daughter named Rachel who likes to switch magnets off peoples cabin doors aboard disney cruises.


and our class scientists name was Steve. i think he was one of the designers
of the space shuttle. he blew up our class in 3rd grade. mixed too many chemicals.

last but not least was the girl i never talked to.
we called her BigRed. she was soooo beautiful. i never got the nerve to ask her out. i just admired her from afar.
she grew up to have amazing "personalities" and i hear she's doing well in the entertainment industry. i think Nancy still keeps in touch with her as those two were inseparable in school.

 

[Dyerneeds]

Me and my big mouth! Tell me Mike, was it going to be a strawberry smoothie?

are there any other kind??

 

[Dyerneeds]

Mike, do you still talk to any of those kids?

yes. we took a disney cruise with them last october.

 

[Dyerneeds]

welcome back heather and afeg.

 

[Dyerneeds]

Just wanted to share this. Look what a "Very Special" Bober made for me!!!

Thanks CP

very nice.
dont ya just love that CP?
always happy to help us less talented folks.

 

[Dyerneeds]

You should be.............but, there's nothing like "Daddy's Little Girl"


right Dawg???

you can say that again.
you love your kids all the same, but theres just something about daddys
little girl.

 

[Dyerneeds]

So, here's a little story. You know when someone does something stupid on the road and you say to yourself "where's a cop when you need one"?

I was talking my lunchtime walk in the industrial park where I work. There is a 25 mph speed limit on the road I walk on. A cop is usually parked on the side with his radar trying to catch someone. Today was no exception. Some idiot flies by me and I yell out "slow down". He flips me off and one block later is pulled over by the cop!!

POETIC JUSTICE!!!!

Now of course, I just had to cut my walk a little short and turn around. As I walked passed the drivers open window, I just smiled and said "have a nice day sir". All he said was "yeah, yeah...you're really enjoying this aren't you"? I said "yes sir, I am".

i love it!!!

 

[JLDSMD]

yes i do. it was mrs. greene.

last but not least was the girl i never talked to.
we called her BigRed. she was soooo beautiful. i never got the nerve to ask her out. i just admired her from afar.

Mystery Solved. Mrs. Greene is Big Red!

Must have really liked Christmas.

 

[Dyerneeds]

Go, now that we know who you are, what's with the kid in the dark suit in the front row? He looks like a puppet or a little Jerry Lewis.

And the kid in the back row 5th from the right, his head looks superimposed on there. Just doesn't look right.

maybe it was the stlye back then. jerry lewis was IN.

we were looking through these pics the other day when i noticed something i hadnt noticed before.....

in my 5th grade and my 6th grade pic, i wore the same sweater both years.
i called my mom and asked "whats up with that?" i bet my sister got new clothes for pics!!!she laughed and said "times were hard back then."
she knew i was just kidding.

 

[Dyerneeds]

Mystery Solved. Mrs. Greene is Big Red!

Must have really liked Christmas.

well, she did have nice cleavage.

 

[JLDSMD]

well, she did have nice cleavage.

There is just something wrong with that Dawg.

Although, where were these 30-year old blonde hotties that the kids are getting these days?
