I hadn't either Lisa, but I found a great pair today. They are $45, reg $70. Oops, that's not half off!

Remedial Math will be offered at 3 PM in Diversions by yours truly on Monday afternoon. For most of you attendance is optional however for Caroline they are going to be mandatory. Actually attendance will be mandatory for most of you....there has been a lot of bad math on this thread!

 

[becka]

Real Life. It is the one mel gibson directed. I looked at the preview and it looks like it is about the mayan's, but there are no words, just people so I could be totally wrong.

What an odd choice for movie night! I predict not many people will attend.

 

[becka]

I bet Alex may need my blood pressure cuff when these arrive!!

Do you know what I just realized? While the new server might be great I am sure the DIS will need to be down for a while to install it! What are we going to do without DIS!!!! We might have to PACK! Maybe we can arrange one big conference call so at least we can chat while we pack!

 

[becka]

We bought the little more portable one first. It was the only one we had for several trips.

Amy bought me the XT for my birthday, and it made me VERY happy!

You will be fine with one - just make sure you get ONE!

BTW - anyone thinking what shutters will look like with all those embarkation photos in lime green matching shirts? I had that image in my mind today, and started laughing. Do you think they will put them all in the same section?

They will think we are all part of one big CRAZY family! At least it should be easy to spot our group's pictures!!!!

 

[becka]

I have been trying to sign on for an hour, but the site wouldn't hold my Log In info for some reason. I thought I was voted out.

You have been voted off the island....or the cult....or off the boat...

Pick One!

 

[becka]

Elaine, some bring little gifts for the CMs in the kids clubs. From reports, they love candy!!

Also, I believe the laundry is open 24 hrs.

Do you give them this candy when you first sign them in as a kind of bribe to treat your kids well or at the end as a thank you?

 

[becka]

Let me be the first to say....

20 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!!!

​

Only 18 days until we leave!!!!! If I remember the date correctly Caroline you leave in 14 days! You had better get packin' girl!

I am applying for an exemption from the math class. I got 720 on the math part of the SAT and took 2 years of calculus.
(That was in 1983; don't ask me anything now. Those brain cells were sacrificed somewhere along the way.)

 

[becka]

OMG, I pulled a major V yesterday.
The game was at 3:30, my mom did not get here until 11:30 so we were hauling can all the way up there. When we got into ROCK 104 country we flipped the radio station to find Mic Hubert calling the game.......the game actually started at NOON! OMG! We got there, parked and went in for the last few plays......
WTH, since we were there we went to CJ's for some oysters and beer and watched a little bit of the OSU game before heading home. What a waste of gas.

V - . I am so sorry that you missed your game. Did they change the time to accomodate the TV schedules? They have done that here in the past for Mizzou games and they don't change the time that far in advance.

You may be excused. I don't remember having seen any bad math coming from you!

 

[becka]

All caught up!

DH has his game this afternoon so I have the kids by myself! I hope they take pity on me and at least attempt to behave. I don't have high hopes.... Nathan lately has just been crazy! He cannot seem to settle down. He is contantly moving and making so much noise!

someone on the main boards reported their 12/7 Wonder docs arrived. Mine go to my TA first and then he sends to me. As of Friday, he did not have them.

I read that too and I was ! I wonder with the holiday if it will take longer especially since mine has to go through DU and then on to me.

Vanessa- That sounds like something we would do!! At least you got some time with just you and John!

Another guilty party feigning innocence!

Guilty I say, Guilty!

Oh, we bow before the Master. (or is it Macster ...anyway). Oh we honor thou in thy superpower fruitness...all hail the King of Potassium!

An Ode to our Leader
Look up in the sky, it's a bird!
No, it's a plane!
NO, it's Banana Man, King of Potassium.
Go, Banana, go, go, banana,
PEEL BANANA, PEEL BANANA,
Go crazy banana,
Yaaaaaaay BANANA!

Of course, that would have made it better . . .

You DID notice running unix - NOT Windoze . . .

John1

Of course...the little I know about computers, Unix is better for running those complex servers than Windows...

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

Oh great Kim . . .

This will be like one of those viral things on the internet, and before I know it, the owner of our company will be asking "what is this banana thing all about", and our employees will be posting the picture in the stores . . .

OY

John1

Ohh...you are the VP? Wow, thats neat...what store was that again??

Yeah, I'm going to show up with my collection...

I'll trade you a PS3 for 5 Furbies and 8 Tickle Me Elmos...what do you say?
