Happy Birthday Dennis!!! I hope you have a wonderful late dinner with Angie.
Rent the points (or transfer) that it requires and then you'll have enough money to pay for cruise and then some....
We just sold (transferrred) 108 of our 2007 points to make our deposit for the EB PC...
pst...I got an orange shuffle
John, hey John you still there HELP JOHN HELP HELP ME JOHN (to the tune of Rhonda).
I have the AKV brochure thing sitting on my desk. Tell me why I want points here other than I love this flippin place. Will/Do I need them? Seriously. What do you think?
GIVE NOTHING BACK!!!!! thanks todd!!!!
I would love to have Bobby! But, maybe Bobby would enjoy HAWAII!!!! WE ARE GOING TO HAWAII FOR THANKSGIVING!!!!! we are leaving the friday before, coming back Sunday. Savannaha will only miss 2 days of school in prep for the may repo. Can Bobbie come to Hawaii?
Also, open invitation here, if any of you would like to play on the beach after a thanksgiving meal prepared entirely by someone else, please join us!
Well first didn't they take that doo rag off of Aunt J's head a while ago? Knowing Prince he did that on purpose. That's what some people think Black History Month is about don't they - Uncle Ben and Aunt J.I did like that coke commerical with the different shaped bottles and the words of accomplishments. Now that was cool.
Carl's email to me this morning - he dropped Bella off this morning:
It was so cold they let everyone in the Oak street door. She wouldn't hold my hand or even let me walk with her, I had to walk behind her because she saw some of her friends. So I walk behind her and pretend I don't know her. If I do a good job and don't embarrass her I get a wave goodbye. The trains were delayed an hour this morning due to "mechanical difficulties". We froze waiting for the train, when it finally came I couldn't even get my T pass out of my bag my hands were so numb from the cold. Everybody was late because the T had problems everywhere, supposedly with switches. But the T made up for it by flashing on their signs in between delay updates "Sorry for the inconvenience"
Yes but the pneumonia is going away. It has been almost 2 weeks since I was diagnosed and last Thursday my lungs sounded pretty good. Right now it is really just the pain from the broken rib thing that is literally driving me crazy. I just hate not being able to move around like I need to. It is frustrating and unfortunately I have not had the best support from DH. I understand it is difficult for him but it is hard to have sympathy for someone when they are as crabby about it as he is. I have had to take care of the kids by myself as well before when he has been sick and you certainly didn't see me behaving like he has been. I tried my hardest to baby him and keep the kids alive at the same time. I guess I would just like the same consideration (although he really doesn't need to baby me) - just taking care of the kids without acting put out about it would be enough.
Ohhhhhhh Carla . . . we are suffering from the same disease . . . Amy just said to me on Saturday when we got it . . . "won't our BCV be paid off this Spring? (yes), well, why don't we buy some AKL then? Yes, we love it too, we love Boma, but do we REALLY need more points?
ughhhhhhh . . . .
John, staying at AKL pre-repo?![]()

Becka - hope you feel better soon, and all I can say is that most guys (yeah, many that I know) just are not good caregivers for kids, and get frustrated really easily when thrust into that role. Aaron is not unusual - not saying that is right - just the way most guys are, so give him a chance, and hopefully he will come around. That has not been the way with Amy and I (yeah, I read your post hun - thanks), but I think we are in general the exception and not the rule.
Thanks John1! Unfortunately I agree that this is pretty typical male behavior at least when I talk to my other "married with kids" friends it seems that way. It just annoys me. Maybe it is somewhat of a generational thing. We mothers now expect the dads to help out a lot more when it comes to raising kids. However, maybe because they feel they already have a lot of responsibility that it is not fair to ask them to take on more. Almost a "I am already doing my fair share" kind of thing. I know when I was growing up really the only time my Dad was a really hands-on parent was when my Mom was really sick.

I do think part of it is generational - and (hope I don't offend anyone) part of it is ethnic. I can tell you for a fact that I do not know ONE of my Italian friend guys (Carla - tell me if Carl is the exception) that are good child caregivers - not that they aren't good dads. EVERY Italian guy I know is so used to being taken care of by his Italian mom, that he expects his wife to do the same for him no matter what!
I think in some degree the differences in the sexes is wired into all of us - whether or not people want to accept that. I know that is not necessarily PC in these times, but I do believe human behavior can be from instinct too - just like our cousins in the wild.
Hey, I keep forgetting to post . . .
Did anyone else get the DCL triangle car Magnet with Goofy on it like we did?
Very cool, but afraid to put it on the car for fear it will fall off with all the snow, ice, and salt.
So it's on the fridge for now.
