OMG!

Guilty as charged to varying degrees - just today in fact!​

Since it is slow I thought I would post this. This might bring out the swabbies.

This is called the MEN DECODER.​

I'm going fishing."
Really means..."I'm going to drink myself dangerously stupid, and stand by a stream with a stick in my hand, while the fish swim by in complete safety." I don't fish....

"I can't find it."
Really means...."It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless." Guilty as of just 3 hours ago ... i was on a rampage lookin' fer something...

"Uh huh," "Sure, honey," or "Yes, dear."
Really means....Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response. Guilty on several counts tonight...

"It would take too long to explain"
Really means..."I have no idea how it works. Guilty ... just yesterday

"I was listening to you. It's just that I have things on my mind."

[captaincrash]

I really like Meatloaf too .....

OK...

... I'll confess. I picked up 3 pounds of ground turkey to make Turkey Joe tomorrow... and tonight I had a Marie Callendar Meatloaf frozen dinner. YUM. My spouse just rolled her eyes and didn't say anything. She knows I only do this sort of thing maybe once a quarter (that she knows of).

Hey... the Frozen dinner was on SALE... it only cost $2... that makes it OK ... right?

 

[captaincrash]

Where has evryone gone? I guess the spam solicitation was effective.

NOT...

... to my credit - I was going to go over and test the concept of the unedited forum... then I decided ... whats' the point. I had a momentary flash of flame the other day over this... nut now I just don't care about thier tactics. It could have been a bit of harmless energy as originally conceived. I have made mistakes before... in fact on a more or less regular basis... so I decided to cut them a little slack and just ignore it.

The idea of forgiving may some day return to benefit me, eh?

 

[captaincrash]

70's here most of the week. Gonna try and talk Kev into letting me ride his cycle to work one day this week.

My spouse tells me we;re gonna have 80s and 90s this week. Not good for pouring and curing cement for my mailbox pad... but I will manage.

Boards gonna go down pretty soon. I'm not feelin very sleepy so I will probably return after 1AM...

 

[captaincrash]

My dad used to offer them 3 things when they came in the door;
1. His Chair
2. A Cigarette
3. A Beer

If they took any one of them....out the door.

I like that.

I imagine I'll have to think this one through SERIOUSLY... some day soon. It's a funny world we live in... and I sort of feel like I'm swimming for the first time in my life with these kind of considerations. Being a Dad is fun... but thinking about my daughters being victimized or otherwise is giving me a knot in my stomach. TIme for me to go get a popsicle... <chuckles>

Well... If I keep this up after 1AM ... I may single handedly make it to the next pirate posting....

<silent smiles with a little glint in my eyes>

Good Morning One and All

It only took me OVER and HOUR to get on this thread this morning!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

I worked for Build-a-Bear for over a year while I worked at the Disney Store too. I guess I would rather have play jobs than real work. It is really a nice place to work as long as she loves children. Just tell her to be really out-going and talk lots. Wish her good luck!!!

Angelina really enjoys the kids, and can she ever TALK!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Been there Andy. I remember the times I lived in Montana and Wisconsin and if it hit 40 in the spring I was digging for my shorts.

 

[Verandah Man]

OK, wasn't too bad getting ketched up this morning. Time to get my sweetie pie up so she can start getting ready for another day at school, then I can come home and get ready for work, oh what glorious joy!!!

 

[kap158]

I havent had time to post in over a week.....I read the summaries.....but did I miss anything important?

I am not going to even attempt to try and Ketchup. That is impossible at this point.

Anyhoo, we've been busy painting....thanks to all who posted their before/after pictures..finally got DH to get started on ours. I too shall post the photos, once he is done.

Went to a wedding this weekend...one word.. FABOULOUS!

So anyone in the NY/NJ area thats looking for a great place I highly reccomend the Venetian in Garfield NJ.
I was soooooo stuffed I thought I would EXPLODE!
Beautiful place and really good food.

On another note, my vacation blues have been lifted. We had NOTHING planned for this year and with the TOAL next year things were looking bleak. But since the IRS was so generous with my money this year, we have a big family/friends trip for this November. (no Disney ) No one else gets our addiction. We are heading to Punta Cana DR. We will be staying at Sunscapes The Beach. I cant wait. Anyone else ever been there. Feedback is always appreciated.

My friends go there every year and they love it there. They say it is beautiful. I will try to get more info for you.

Morning Everyone

I kew you would be on Andy.

Good luck to Angelina with Build A Bear. I hope she gets it. Sounds like a fun place to work.

We are supposed to have a heat wave here today 70-80!

MaryRose - sorry about the TV. Did you get one of the High Tech HD Flat screen? I am lucky I know how to use my remote and TIVO!

I have been stocking up on batteries(for the blenders).

I hope you had a blender drink after your ordeal last nite with the flat tire.

I wish it were time to get the donuts but it is time to start walking the dogs!

Hope today goes better for you.

Have a good day everyone and talk to you later.

I know the feeling. I have already had my coffee and walked the dog and I am still sluggish!! Glad the weather is getting warmer for you.

Morning All.

Up early to start working. Gotta hate when you can access the system from home. The work never stops. Actually it is better than being in the office because it's much quiter. I usually get at least 1-1 1/2 hours in before I leave for the office. I would much rather have that as sleep time however this morning.
