12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 8

[lbgraves]

At this rate....will I be caught up by lunch time or when the kids get home this afternoon???

 

[lbgraves]

Now you really are one of us. Congrats on the !

What I would say requires self control . . . to not say. Awwwwwh shoot!

While I am professionaly trained and schooled as a lawyer, it does not mean that I care about many in my profession (and probably one of the biggest reasons why I do not practice).

Many that I have become acquainted with deserve that banana elsewhere - esp. the Plaintiff's Worker's Comp attorneys - right Kim?

Shall I tell her Marielle??

I'm just pulling your leg Becka!! I wanted to see how long you would look!

 

[lbgraves]

I'm sitting hear remembering it all started by responding to an ipod listing list. I never noticed the sucking sound of being hypnotised by this thread and drawn into the deep wonderous pool of lists any lists, candy, freaky banana photos anything. You guys write it I'm conditioned to be there or wish I were there.

 

[lbgraves]

I got a pirate, my FIRST pirate and no one noticed.

Have to run, wifey signed off...(No pricing, stop that right now!)

I did....a few hours later when I saw it. Honestly I think that most just look for the 1000s now because there are so many 100s and they pass by so quickly.

 

[lbgraves]

Explain ..ok..

we've been trying to figure that one out for a while....

 

[lbgraves]

They make you need temporary fillings. I think it's laffy taffy that serves as a better temporary.

Dody, here is a smilie for you!

BTW, my favorite candy as a kid was the chocolate Charleston Chew...frozen!

 

[lbgraves]

ANDY we noticed, it was well done, but they come so fast now, that it is kind of like a smooched skunk on the side of the road.

Luvs Pj

Do you Canadians really smooch skunks?

 

[lbgraves]

Bit o Honeys also work for this.

I thought that they are what takes the fillings out in the first place?

 

[lbgraves]

I'm gonna go watch Dancing With The Stars on my DVR before I fall asleep. Night guys.

I didn't get to watch last night's show. DH put TC on for DD. How am I suppose to tell her she can't watch that? It is going to be interesting watching her during the show next time. She will be singing right along!

 

[lbgraves]

And where do you buy them? I've never seen them for sale anywhere, yet there are always some in the Halloween bag.

Maybe they are like fruitcake, people just keep passing them around year after year!

That's what I was going to say! They probably went out of business years ago.

 

[lbgraves]

Maybe the dollar store?? Big Lots??? All I know is the biggest house on the street gives them after the kids have to climb a gizzilion steps! We don't stop there any more.

 

[lbgraves]

ok, call off the search.....

DH came upstairs and found me asleep at the 'puter.....

I must have fallen asleep waiting for that dang server........

nite all......

Mystery solved!

 

[lbgraves]

LISA!!! Do you like Tim McGraw?? Check this out!

YES!!!!!! That sounds amazing! I did look into it more & do not understand how everyone can keep saying that DCL is so much more than every other cruise line. This is a three night cruise. The pp deposit is $600. It would cost the four of us $3200 for an interior room like we book on DCL and that doesn't include taxes & port charges.

Our teachers have been 3 years now with no contract - we live in a very old fashioned screwy district. Several of us went down to the board of ed meeting to speak on their behalf tonite. They are threatening to stage a walkout which will mean substitutes for our kids.

The teachers all left the meeting together after their president spoke.

They probably do not have enough subs to staff the schools either. We are debating taking the kids out of school now. We got bad news on Friday about the new AG teacher. He will only be at our school one day a week. HTH is he suppose to have time to make a difference with each of the AG kids there in that amount of time. Last year the AG teacher also ran the history club, newspaper, and chess club. Now noone is doing those. I met with DS's teacher and she is going to change his homework to be more of a challenge for him. He will do his math class & homework in class and then to the 3rd grade homework sheet at home. He will also pretest on the spelling words on Tuesday (they get them on Friday) and then he will do different things like write a short story using the words (did that last year and enjoyed it) and making up a puzzle with the words for the class (word search or crossword puzzle.)

No question I am a BOUNTY girl. Cheap paper towels just don't cut it. I pull through the gigantic mountains of towels to try and find the few cute prints - why are they so awful. Aren't there some unemployed Hallmark artists who could make decent graphics?

Neither do cheap tissues or toilet paper.

I still have a pack of the Disney Villians towels from last Halloween. 75% Target clearance! The kids love them!

 

[lbgraves]

I booed John...but he couldn't figure out how to use it.

Me too. If I could I would put the pumpkin in his sig.

Sounds like a great tag to me!

 

[lbgraves]

No, this was Dots. Or temporary fillings, as I call them.
Oh, and Skittles? DS thinks they are called "Taste the Rainbows." (What, watch much TV??) The secretary at DD's school loves Walt and keeps a stash of Skittles for him whenever I have to drag him to school for a project!

I found the post. That is so nice of the secretary.
