I'm so looking forward to watching the allshookups eat with their toes.

And as for the toe eating...it's a sight to behold!

Thanks for doing that Tom, but their response was ridiculous. There are outside forces that are beyone their control? Really? They can't stagger the times or come up with some kind of solution? They can build theme parks & ships, but they can't come up with a suitable computer program?

That wasn't their response, it was my prediction of their response.

Oh I feel for them! I really do!

You would have thought, they would have considered this in advance, now there not going to buy extra server capacity just for us, so the logical thing is to move the 'release'date or time so there isn't a clash.
If they system couldn't cope with the Westbound and we have a double dip clash, we do not need crystal balls to foresee the future!

Now just wait for someone to misquote my Crystal balls! where's Julie?

 

[bellelinus]

I'm sure that would have them quaking.... NOT.

I don't mention that I am one, just throw in a few phrases here and there that let them know..... Res ispa loquitor; Habeas corpus; Quid pro quo; **** praesumitur bonus donec probetur malus; Carpe Cerevisi; Da mihi sis cerevisiam dilutam; Da mihi sis bubulae frustrum assae, solana tuberosa in modo Gallico fricta, ac quassum lactatum coagulatum crassum; etc.

That should make them worry either way -- you could be a lawyer, or a monk (and who wants to have an angry monk after you? look at Rasputin!) . . .

 

[bellelinus]

Could I have two Habeas corpus one quassum lactatum and fries please.!

Andrew, is that habeas corpus on your diet?

Edited to say that Tom beat me to this one . . .

 

[bellelinus]

I have now, and maybe ruined their day? Being up against this cruise.??????

Wow, you really know how to show another thread a good time, Andrew

 

[allshookup]

Happy Birthday Erin/Crzy4dals!!!

Laura

Yes I caught it and could not believe it...............

I at the thought of even discussing it with my sisters! And I know mom would do this:

Where is the tag fairy when needed?

She/he no like us anymore.

All boy! Almost man, actually. Funny about the blonde!!

LOL - that is why I've taken to calling him man-child - he does at me and tells me - that's not funny!

The girls and I have taken to breaking into the man-cub song - he doesn't realize where its from.

 

[allshookup]

oops silly me! Oh well somehow I think your prediction is not off the money!

We could never accuse DCL of being logical! They sure can build a pretty ship though!

Yep I think I'll leave that one to Julie!

Andrew, I won't touch your crystal balls . . . or that comment . . .where's Julie, indeed!

Never fails!

On pita bread is ok.

I know, one post on their thread and they will think the pirates have opened cannon fire on them and declared war!

Andrew, I won't touch your crystal balls . . . or that comment . . .where's Julie, indeed!

Red flag to a bull? ( Not calling you a bull, just a metaphor)

 

[dahuffy]

So how come I'm so "fluffy"?? (pass the bowl of mashed potatoes smothered in butter, please )

I hear ya Stacey!!! I used to say I was "Rubenesque" now I'm definately "Pooh Bear"

Or I'm a good Googler....

...only to make sure I spelled everything correctly!

Anytime I read/hear more than about 3 Latin words in a row, I think of that scene.

MIL & FIL too me to a Latin Mass once.


Just once.

Adam's school has been on lockdown now for about 2 hours. Someone called 911 to say that a student had a gun or appeared to have one. I have been texting him and he said he is OK. They aren't really telling the students what is going on. So I am glued to the TV this morning.

BREAKING NEWS: Fern Creek High and Elementary Schools on Lockdown

Man seen with gun inside High School; no one hurt
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
LOUISVILLE, Ky -- Fern Creek High School and Fern Creek Elementary schools are on lockdown, after a student reported seeing somone with a gun early Wednesday morning. LMPD Chief of Staff Troy Riggs tells 84WHAS that they cannot confirm that yet, but are taking no chances and have locked down both schools as a precaution while officers go room to room searching for a possible suspect. No one has been injured, and Riggs says while he understands parents may be upset, he is urging them to "stand by" and not go to the school.

OMG! Paula! Hope its just some kids idea of a prank - is it mid-term or finals time yet? Anyway, I agree - glad its being taken seriously, hope Adam is ok and that you don't have a long day. Keep us informed!

I think I am going to have to apply for one of their vice presidents jobs and get it all working correctly.


Vice president IN CHARGE OF CRYSTAL BALLS! to foresee C*** ups

Priest: "Dominus hubiscum habisco. Esperitu sanctum. Dey gas da bus."
Prisoner: "So long Johnny."
Priest: "Me gas da bus. You gas da bus. We missed the bus. They missed the bus."
Prisoner: "Be brave huh Johnny."
Priest: "When's the next bus?"
Johnny: "Always Neal."
Priest: "Suma cum laude. Magna cum laude. The radio's too loudy. Odesti fidellas"
Prisoner: "Good luck Johnny."
Priest: "centra fidellas. Hi fidellas."
Johnny: "Why didn't I take shop?"
Priest: "Post meridian. Anti-meridian. Uncle Meridian. All of the little meridians."
Prisoner: "Bye bye Johnny."
Johnny: "Bye Rock."
Priest: "Magna Carta. Master charga. "
Prisoner: "Spit in his eye Johnny."
Johnny: "OK rabai."
Priest: "Dume procellas. Lotsa vitalles"
Wardon: "Any last words Johnny? (sound of gun cocking)"
Wardon: "Well said."

Well, we finally did it. We ordered a new laptop. Our old one is a 2001 model, and while a nice work horse, it's starting to get persnikity.

I get the employee purchase plan discount at a number of manufacturers, and HP put one of the models we've been looking at on sale for 25% off. That clinched it.

Here are the specs - in case anyone is interested:
HP Pavilion dv6700t Special Edition CTO

- 15.4" WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
- 4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)

It's got a fingerprint reader - so don't be trying to use it without permission!

Your computer comes with "No TV tuner w/remote control"?
They list that as a FEATURE?

Well, I wasn't going to buy this when I thought it had a TV tuner with remote control, but now that you tell me it has "No TV tuner", I just have to have it...

Its even more funnier in the UK, with what we call a Johnny.

Tom, Tom, Tom, with your two boys you haven't figured that out yet??

Last trip to WDW....

DH to DS10: "Did you put sun screen on?"
DS10: "Yes."
Me: Sigh. "Did you apply sun screen to two legs, two arms, your face, neck, and ears?"
DS10: "Uh, no. Give the the sun screen."

Hate to tell you but this happens with all kids - dd20 is walking out door this morning for a spa appt - I ask - have you brushed your teeth - she'll be all up into your face - no - mumble, mumble mumble, that's all you ever check up on. God I wish this girl would get a boyfriend!

That's right up there with my conversation going out the door this morning:

"You didn't tell me to brush my teeth."

Well, maybe not today, but every other day of your life...

M - I think its kids - although ds - is a fanatic about having his teeth pearly white - constantly leaves his flossing and finger gloves around - sits and watches tv while finger brushing his teeth with some finger gloves that have toothpaste on it. From one extremem to the other. Course this is the one that had braces on too.

I looked at the harness, and it should be suitable for the kind of carting we'll be doing. He's not doing weight pulling after all. I just need to attach a couple of D-rings for the traces, and add loops via a couple of quick release buckles for the shafts. But I'll have to buy a single trace for him from a sledding company.

I'm planning on modifying our garden cart - it's light weight, and can take loads up to 800 pounds - which is way more than 25 gallons of water will weigh. The hardest part will be to design shafts to replace the handle.

What's life without these little engineering challenges?
.

I have a single person cart that's just been sitting in my storage. I bought it originally to get my girls to cart - turns out that the minimum weight requirements (as given to me from the creator) is 50 lbs. And that's pushing it. So, if anyone is interested.......... (Don't have the harness - actually come to think of it - I have one but it was specially made for an 80 pound German Shepard.

Okay everyone, I'm asking for you all to send some pixie dust my way today - I have a job interview at 2 and I am really hoping that it works out. Let's just say that after the talk with my doctor yesterday, I really need to change my stress level. Thanks!

and more and and

I saw the commercials and thought it would be entertaining to watch, but then I completely forgot.

Was this the one with the blue guy? Why was he blue??

apparently he was taking care of his sick mom and dad for a long time. I missed the first 5 minutes of it but it seems that he probably didn't take time to take care of himself. So he had heard of some type of homeopathic remedy where he mixed water and collidial silver and drank it for a long time. Then he recalls that his dad would put it on cuts and scratches - he broke out in some kind of skin condition - due to stress so he started putting it on his face and entire body to take care of the skin rash and the silver basically tattooed his whole body inside and out. According to Dr Oz, his insides and outside are all "blue" technically he was more a violet but he really was blue. And he had a fiancee. Seemed like a very nice man. It happened gradually and he apparently never went out during the daylight and saw no one for long periods of time - so it wasn't until he was too far blue that a friend noticed and informed him. He was so used to seeing himself in the mirror - he never noticed.
