11/24/07 We are Better Than Leftovers!!! Nana Head reunion Part 4

[theostwalts]

Brantley,
this ones for you

A butcher saw a Lawyer passing by his shop one day, and asked him: Atty., what would you do if a dog came in and stole your meat?

Lawyer replied: why? of course, I’ll make the owner pay for it!

The butcher said: If that is so, now you owe me $15 because it is your dog.

The Lawyer replied: very well, just deduct the $15 from the $25 you owe me for the advice, I’ll collect the remaining $10 the next time I pass by here.

Kathy

Yep, that's the way it works!!!!!

Kathy I am pretty sure you can also get something that you iron on to kept the material together...

Your right, i do remember seeing something like that. I cant sew worth beans, I hate it, so glue or ironed on things are a must for me.

My mother gave Greg a buttoneer as a wedding gift, because she knew I would never sew a button on his shirts Then about 10 years ago i told her I had sewed a button and she called all the family to tell them a miracle had happened and even marked it on her calendar and called me the next year to remind of the big event the year before

Poohwhorh: I didn't know what a fish extender was either. Glad you asked. They are wicked cool. Doubt I will make one, the less crap I pack the more room for things I can buy and bring back. I don't do door signs either. I let other people decorate my door. DVC, Woo, Bill, Linda, etc.

Lamp: Yes he has lots o hair.

Has anyone else not started packing yet? I think im in a suspended state right now. Should do it, realize that Wal-Mart will be closed in the evening of the 22nd. I have the list, but no motivation.

Who else has their documents? Still waiting patiently.

God, I sound like Eyeore today.

I havn't packed anything yet. I wont pack until the day before.
I've done it so many times before I dont worry about starting way ahead of time anymore.
besides when Minnie sees the suitcases come out she gets depressed , she knows we are leaving

And Frank Sinatra - what a classic "Fly Me to the Moon" was our wedding song

LOVE all the puppy pics Snow White is adorable. Our dog is JamieLee, named after dh's fave actress, she is 15 and gets a bit cranky but we'll keep her Our cat, Mickey, passed away a few months ago, still not sure about getting another.

For the fish extenders, some people use other items. There are alot of photos on the thread. I will try to make something and I still need to do my door sign but found some great clipart.

Terri - I'm traveling with DH & DS(6), this is our 3rd cruise. We live in the Philly suburbs and are both self-employed.

I'M IN!!! I'm always in for Vegas...

Me too!!!!!!!! Especially since SW flies direct and the flights are so cheap - offsets the cost of liquor.

My mom has started packing, and all I've done is start stacking summer clothes in the corner of my closet. I haven't even started packing for Lily, and I'm wondering if I'll end up having to pack for Devin. I did get him to try on his suit, swimsuit, etc. to make sure they still fit so we'd have time to replace anything prior to leaving. I feel very far behind.

I didn't think I'd have to color my hair again before the cruise, but I think I tempted fate yesterday when I asked my friend Kerrie look at my head to see if I had any roots...she said no, but then this morning I'm positive I saw a gray hair. Major trauma. So had to call my hair stylist and make sure they had time to fit that in. Oh well.

Two weeks from today and we'll be flying out!!! Who's excited???

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

No excitement here




YO HO YO HO A PIRATES LIFE FOR ME !!

Soon on Castaway Cay we will be,
Captain Jack, my hubby and me.
Burried treasure we seek to find,
Rum and gold will do just fine.

We'll dig and dig our very best,
To find the burried treasure chest.

Captain Jack said Don't despair
We be findin treasure there!!!

Ok, since Bill got me to come out of the closet about being a lawyer, and Kathy has posted the first lawyer joke, I will give you a little story that will help you understand the daily workings we go through.

Tonya, if you work in a lawyer’s office, you will appreciate this.

WARNING: References to drug use ahead. If that offends you, skip to the next post.

This woman comes into my office to discuss a recent possession of marijuana charge she has acquired. During our meeting, she swears up and down that it was not her marijuana. She has no idea of why the officer would have charged her. In fact when she was charged, she was with her friend and her friend told the officer that the marijuana belonged to her, not my client. She just can not understand why she was charged. I tell her I will look into it and I will see her on her next court date.

When her court date rolls around, I go in the back and pull the officer out into the hallway. I ask him if he remembers this woman and if he could tell me what happened.

Well, it seems that this woman and a group of her friends (all of whom must be employed by NASA as rocket scientists) decided it would be a good idea to get high at one of the local boat accesses on Lake Norman. They all got together, right out in the open and fired it up!!! (Free legal advice of the day: If for some reason, you decide it is a good idea to get stoned in the middle of a public parking lot......look around........make sure the cops are not there) The officer, who actually was a wildlife officer, sat in his car, watched them pass it around, and then walked over to retrieve what was left. He then charged everyone in the group.

After learning the above information, I go into the courtroom and pull my client outside where the following conversation actually took place:

ME: Hey, listen, I was talking with the officer and he says that you were with a group of people who he watched smoking a joint in the parking lot.

CLIENT: Says nothing, just stares at me like a deer caught in headlights....you can almost hear the crickets in the background.

ME: Is that true?

CLIENT: UMMMMM..........Well, yea........Why??????? Is that a problem?

ME: Well, if you held the joint and you put it up to your lips and you toked on it and you passed it to the next person.....I think you have exercised enough control over it to legally possess it.

CLIENT: ooooohhhhhhh

That is a true story!!!!! It is also why I will always have a job

OMG, I love it. There is a sign on my office door that says "Stupid Is as Stupid Does". Scary isn't it. I'm lucky we deal with Divorces, Modifications, Termination cases, appeals, etc. But I do miss working with criminals.

I'll admit that I have been know to listen to a little Bee Gees, but only if I am in the car by myself...don't tell anyone

Actually Staci has some cds of the Bee Gees and plays them from time to time.

Not that it is my favorite......but it NEVER failed.....(On Sunday mornings I took Jessicas "bug" to fill with gas and wash it)

The village people would be on

Tonya- We got our cruise docs last friday.

Jen- I know, we get great cheap deals to Vegas from here! We can fly nonstop there from Omaha, but not to Orlando...
If there was a "vegasboards" I'd be hanging out there too
