"Get it on"

Congrats Lil Grumpy on 1000. :cool1: :cool1: :banana: :banana:
 
Awake and fully functioning are two very different things. I get up at 6 am, but I don't have to interact with anyone besides my kids until 9:30 am and that is a good thing! In order to function well enough for a job interview at 7 am, I had to get up at 5 & drink a pot of coffee.

Don't worry, sk8ingmom, I know I don't function at that time . . .LOL. Our usual day is the boys getting up at 8:00 AM and mom rising about 8:30 . . . we do our best to get our school day started by 9:00 AM, but I often don't really get going (and get through my email) until 11 AM. I do my best work between 10 PM and 2 AM. . . I've tried for years to get my body switched to an earlier schedule, but it just doesn't work. However, on the west coast, I do fairly well. Once a nite owl; always a nite owl!:idea::idea::idea:
 
Hey Crew,

Just sticking my head in the door to say "Boo"! I'm a single mom this week as DH is off on Reserve duty at the AF Academy. He just called to chat and said he had to run to go iron uniforms. Wonder if he remembers how! Wonder if he remembered his bottle of starch. :rotfl2: He's got a Dining-in (formal unit only dinner and shannigans) on Wednesday with the cadets and has to squeeze into his mess dress. He'll certainly impress them with his posture - if he takes too big of a breath he'll pop a button! (True!! He popped on our last cruise.) :rotfl: :rotfl: When he told me he had a dining-in and I busted a gut laughing his rather disgruntled response was "I expected more support from my spouse." I supported him by suggesting he add an inch of chain to that button he busted on the cruise. :lmao:

DS10 got a new hair cut. We decided the best way to fight his massive cowlick was to just shave it all off. We were talking flat top, but he decided on a crew cut when he got to the barber. Here are before and after pictures. What a difference!

Oops. No before and after pictures. DH took the camera. Guess he wanted proof of button status after the dining-in. Well, when the camera returns I'll upload the before and after pcitures.

DS10's class is getting ready for their big field trip this year - 3 days and 2 nights at Malakoff Diggings - one of the largest hydralic mines from the California Gold Rush. We (I'm chaperoning) have to dress in period clothing, and participate in period activies - tin smithing, wood working, blacksmithing, candle dipping, etc. I'm in charge of the scavanger hunt (OK, not everything is period.) It's Monday-Wednesday of next week. I'm looking forward to it.

Say, anyone want to cover the Pirate Joke of the Day while I'm gone. I've been doing such a lousy job recently anyway all y'all should just fire me.

Well I've got to run. It's bed time already and I stil don't have lunches made for tomorrow.

TTFN!
 

BIP I didn't get the music? Thought you would have a pic of yourself;)

My DS and I have a disagreement with DD regarding the Myspace accounts. My DD and her brood all have them and we are concerned who they are talking to all the time. They are forbidden to go there from my computers and my DD says she has their passwords and reviews who they are talking to. We still don't like it.
Gotta get ready for :surfweb: early today. DGS going to our otho to have his foot checked out. The ped ortho keeps saying, he sees something?? but doesn't think it's anything??? Hopefully it isn't but she is tired of his complaining all the time and wants to know if he really is hurt or just looking for attention.I told her I'd stop in on the way to :surfweb: as it's down the road.
You have to wait a bit for the music to start... and you only get to see pictures if you sign up as my friend (hint hint). Sorry, the music is long so the first time you get to my page it takes a minute or so for the music to load then start playing. I did add a button on there though that you can turn it off if you want. :)

Luckily, my ST isn't interested in myspace. He has a couple of friends and they IM and e-mail each other but none of them seem that interested in social networking. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, I guess, but last time I talked to him about it, he said he didn't know anyone using myspace and didn't care to go there.

:banana:
Same with mine. My younger two have no desire whatsoever or even know about it- my oldest isn't interested. I was afraid she would be after she heard her 10yr old niece had a page, just like she got all into neopets because of this niece (and I was perfectly happy for her entire online experience to be webkins- but neopets blew that out of the water), but thankfully not. I'm glad too because I've seen some other "slightly older" (than the 10yr old niece) child relatives of mine and their pages and what they are posting, pictures they are showing, etc. and it's disturbing. Disturbing enough that I and other family members are wondering if these children's parents (that are also relatives obviously) are aware of what is going on. Someone's about to get busted once my mom talks to their parents. LOL But it truly is disturbing... what some kids say and put on there!

I have held back # 3 from the kids at this point too. DS#1 (almost 10 as he points out) has been asking lately, I may let him if he persists.

My DSs love HP, POC also. We did let them watch LOTR, under strict parent supervision. They had already listened to the first book as nighttime reading (we read to them every night).
Maybe I'm overprotective of my kids but this it the reason that POC #1 we (DH and I) went to see alone and then POC #2 we weren't able to go alone so I went alone. I did buy the DVD of both and they can watch it at home- but we can monitor that... for instance not let the youngest two watch anything remotely gory or scary because we don't want to deal with nightmares later on! LOL it's harder to control that when you're in a movie theatre. So I guess what I'm saying is that we let them watch stuff at home- because we can say close your eyes or go to your room until we call you or whatever is necessary.

Of course when someone wants to reply to one you multiquoted, they need to cut out all the other stuff or you end up with a bunch of disjointed phrases....

You can also hit backspace 2 times when you see the blue screen ("We are not taking you to your post...") and you will be back at the post you replied to.



In the movie business, there is never a "last". It could be the last POC, but then a new set of CJS or similar movies come out. Its all $ and cents.
I have no idea what you're talking about on the hit backspace 2 times stuff. What exactly are you trying to explain there? Seriously I'm lost.

Not too many people respond by quoting me anyway- and the benefits of me multi-quoting far outweigh the very slight possibility that someone might quote me and have to delete out the parts of my post they don't want to reply to.

And poo- a new set of CJS or similar movies? NOT THE SAME. And if it doesn't have Johnny Depp- forgetaboutit. I'm so not interested if that is the case. Seriously.

Hi BIP!!! Glad to see you back to your chatty self!



How is this for nifty? We pay a flat rate for water. Same bill every month. Our meter is in a crawl space behind a wall in our garage - I doubt I could get to it in less than 10 minutes. Not much job security for Andy, but it sure is nice.
Hi back atcha!

Wow that is nifty. I sure wish we could do that here! The only way we can do something similar is "average billing" and I've tried it- you end up paying the HIGH average every month so you're paying more overall and I'm not keen to do that.

Try brackjr :surfweb:
Sending me on a wild goose chase? Because brackjr isn't showing up anywhere -searching by name, display name, nothing. ZERO with that name. ??

Thanks All, I've hit a couple of DIS milestones over the past few days!!! :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

I did have a good day at work, but it's time to rub the knees down, they still feel a whole lot better then the end of last week. I think all the rain and dampness really put a hurtin' to me, at least today was dry, sunny and warm!!!
Oh sweetie- I hope your knees are feeling better tomorrow!

It would be a perfect time to poop a brick after receiving that bill..........:rotfl:
Amen to that! I definitely would...

Oh Brack, please don't say that............Hazel and I still use "Coooooool" quite often ourselves.................:rotfl:
But do you say cool beans? I do

:flower3: Good thought for your Dmil...

You'd be proud of me tonight Lisa....

I can actually see the placemats on our dinner room table and threw away 2 grocery bags full of mail, magazines, and other junk....

Now if i could just get the rest of the house straightened out...:confused:
proud of you! You go girl...

Now I have to say um... you people better start playing nice before we all get put in the corner. No snarkiness allowed here, okay? please oh please everyone get along. I love you all and would miss this thread dearly!

And I'll ask again... where is our captain?
 
Hey Crew,

Just sticking my head in the door to say "Boo"! I'm a single mom this week as DH is off on Reserve duty at the AF Academy. He just called to chat and said he had to run to go iron uniforms.

I supported him by suggesting he add an inch of chain to that button he busted on the cruise. :lmao:

You know, it is possible to hook two of those jacket chains together. :lmao: We had a friend do it for a dining out. A few years ago, I supported my spouse by buying him new DDB pants. (Translation: DDB=Dinner Dress Blues, which in the CG are actually black, nervermind that they could use the word black and still call them DDBs...anyway, my old sig picture, and my wedding picture, and my prom picture....) Side note: there is a fun one - post your prom picture! OK, someone else go first, wait, I think Andy went first months ago, anyone else??

I start single mom 2 weeks on Wed. or Thurs. this week. I bet Jonesing can guess why. Oh joy.

We are going on a field trip too, but not nearly as cool. DS8's class has been raising salmon eggs since September. Most of them hatched a few months ago and now the 'fry' are are big enough to release into the river on Friday. Yup, 2nd graders, teeny-tiny fish, and a riverbank. A great time wil be had by all!

Your trip sounds great. In a past life, I was a costumed tour guide at Mystic Seaport. I had a blast. On a similar note, my interview with Mount Vernon went well this morning. What a fun place to work! (no costume - it's a fundraising position)
 
One last thought before I got to bed...

Is anyone else anxiously awaiting the day that Caroline returns and responds to 6 weeks worth of posts?

:rolleyes1

G'night pirate:s
 
Morning All !!

Thought I'd take 5 minutes out to post this morning as I've been in work since before 07:00am and it's now fast approaching 08:00am. I'm in early as there's a day strike today and I have to prepare a few things for those members of staff in work. As I've achieved that in record time I'll have some "me-time".

Looking around me at the moment it's absolutely empty so I'm hopeful some staff turn up today and not just the non-union members :confused3

The building maintenance have put the heating on instead of the coolers so that will be my next job :mad:

For those of you who are on their way to bed, have a good nights sleep and for those of you who see this when you rise -


Good Morning !!

and

White Rabbits !!

The "White Rabbits" is said on the 1st of May in the UK - tell me if you do the same in the USA !! :flower3:

Best wishes for today

David
 
Somethings can never change after we reach a certain age! I still say "Cool" even though it is way out of date! :confused3

See Brack - your so cool that we all say it - and its pretty common out here in CA! So see your cool - or as it was on another thread - Kewl!
 
"Happy Birthday"

Kaitlin/DD downrivermama
Sean/tiggerandpooh

BIRTHDAY.gif
 
Yes, she does!!! :thumbsup2

Hey Andy - one year on a cruise - my DS ST 17 at the time was a runner - I had several people on the cruise saying Hi to him on his runs - he's easy to spot - he was about 5'7" tall, thin and a red head - with no freckles - he stood out and still does - he had a curl hair afro - all the rage at the time - by the 4 day he was asking me to call off the watchdogs as they were popping up all over the place - didn't help that he was caught by one girls father as they were 'examining the stars'

Dad was a good sport - thawed out after DS apologized and told him his DD was so beautiful that he couldn't resist the "Magic" :lmao: :rotfl2:

I swear it worked! :thumbsup2

I was just thinking the same thing about Caroline last evening, what fun she will have when she can get back on the thread....................:laughing:
 
GOOD MORNING FELLOW DISERS!!:surfweb:

Hope Everyone has a "GREAT TUESDAY""!!

One more day closer to our TOAL!!:yay: :yay:

Never heard the "White Rabbits" expression David. But I've been known to say "Happy May Day" on the 1st of May. I was going to say that in my "Good Morning" post this morning, but I wasn't sure if anyone would know why I was saying that....................:laughing:

I've got to get a move on it and get the coffee made for my ST, will be back later and check in............:wave: for now and have a "Happy May Day" all.
 
I have been catching up around the house then read thru the manual & did the training jobs for the transcription work I am trying to get. I am now waiting for the evaluations from those jobs. That is why I have been away for a few days. I am trying to be at a point where I will have time to give to get use to the job if it starts soon so that I will be able to handle it once the kids get out of school & there are more distractions around here.

Lisa hope you get the job you are trying to get!
