Hi Paula,
I'm about to go to bed but just stopped to check in - perhaps a slight addiction here - Anyway - so fun to say hello to you. I am so looking forward to meeting you. Both DH & I are hoping to visit both NZ & AUS.
So, how are you doing?

 

[eeyorelvr10]

Wonder how many folks are going to get married on 07-07-07 in Vegas?

OMG! DS's (who I'm still not speaking with) birthday is today is on his way to Vegas! I already called and wished him a happy birthday - trying to be the maternal mother everyone thinks I'm not - and even asked him to pick up his presents, MIL gave him $100, DD14 got him an LA Dodger's History book and I got him an 80gb video ipod. He didn't bite but now that you mentioned that!

Oh Lordy - he really wouldn't go that far would he? I never even thought about that - he's with his girlfriend of 15 months!

 

[Grandma x3]

Hey Laura -
You're still awake - so are you too excited??? I'm not going for another month but I can't concentrate on what I've got to do - all I'm thinking about is the cruise AND you get 2!!!!

I think I should pm you about issus w/kids. My son is a dad himself - but we're having issues all over again!! It seems like a never ending roller coaster. And being a mom - your heart get bruised over & over ! to you!!

JR, thank you again for all your work.

I will do what I can to keep the site moving. If you want your and your families birthday's posted, add it to the calendar and I will approve as quick as possible.

I agree with the sections that JR is proposing to be public.

Other wise, please consider this. We have about 14 months until the trip. NOTHING, let me repeat, NOTHING on this website needs to be done today, this minute, right now, etc. Lets take our time and discuss things in a rational manner.

One of the really cool/great things about this website is that the content was provided by YOU (each and everyone of YOU). JR did the programming, but the links, the subject matter, the cool pictures, etc. were all pulled from the thread. WE as a group can be proud of this site.

Let's enjoy!

Ok -missed something but I just want to know - are you all still going to wish me Happy Birthday come my birthday? I sent the info on a pm to the 'webmaster'.

Please - I just want to be wished Happy Birthday by somebody - cause at the rate that I'm going - I'm not getting it from anyone in my family!

So you all - make sure you wish me happy birthday and make me feel special ok? Pretty Please? Handsome please?

Thanks!

How's that for subtleness?

Ah Man - you got me on that one - I thought I'd lost it!

I know about the space thing that's why I threw your name out there so confidentally. Then I went I just called her another person's name.

Nope its the 23rd of this month! Mark it down all - I to hear from friends, family is really touchy lately - must be the heat down here. They turn down the AC and I turn it up - - my old bones hurt when its on too much.

Right now - I'm in the dog house. Can someone get me an image of me in a dog house? I'd do it but I don't know how!

Good morning everyone
Didn't sleep well last night. Dante a small 8lb. dog kept pushing me over into DH and I woke up in middle of night with a leg cramp.

Going to be really hot & humid today, taking DD to taste of Chicago...........
Yes again.

Have a great day............

I am sooooooo hacked off right now!!! Went to the bank about 3 weeks ago to order a new debit card because my current one is wearing out. Mag stripe doesn't read all the time etc. So the teller orders the card and said it would take 7-10 days.

3 weeks no card.

Stop back by the bank to check on it. Looks like they sent it to the old house in ABQ WTH? Why would they do that when they have the new addy in CO?

So she begins to order a new one. But several pauses/false starts ensue...uh, what's the new address; system won't mail a card to a post office box, how about it come to the branch; why the request for a new card; oh, damaged card okay; uh it's gonna take 7-10 days yada yada yada.

So I head out but figure I'll get some cash for dinner with M & family tonight. Use the ATM and viola:

WE'RE SORRY THIS CARD CANNOT BE USED AT THE ATM​

WTH?!?! So I go back inside and the teller girl is still typing away on her terminal. She finished ordering my card and then checked the system---she flagged my card....the one in my hand, the one used to ID myelf...as a lost card!!!!

Obviously it's not lost since it was in my

hand so she tries to undo it...nope, once flagged in the system, it's permanent!

Not even the bank manager could undo it

But they did have a solution. They issued me an Instant ATM Card. It's only good for getting $60 cash or $50 POS today. Tomorrow the limit goes up to the usual $1000. Okay, not too bad. Until I went to order something just now...I can't because the

thing doesn't have a Visa or MC logo! It's just a plain ATM card, can't use it for buying stuff online!

I called the bank and the banker was all "Oh yeah, I never thought about that. I guess we should try to get some temporary check cards in."

Well I've learned my lesson...if the bank weenie looks all of 15 despite having a nose piercing and doesn't exude full confidence in his/her ability to perform a task, go with a more senior person! I mean, she handled my cash withdrawal without a hitch. But now she's totally dorked up my card access, so much so that the banker who issued the instant card said I'll probably wind up getting two cards in the mail...a lot of good that'll do me since the one in my pocket may as well be an ice scraper.

Oh I feel your frustration I was without a card to use for 2 wweks. You don't realize how much you need one when you don't have it ! I was in the process of moving and switching banks and it was hard for me to always have enough money on me. EVERYTIME I had to get gas, I had to pre-pay. I just hated that............especially trying to guess how much It was going to cost ahead of time.

 

[castoff]

good evening everyone! didn't realize it was friday already...darn holidays in the middle of the week really have me messed up!! guess i gotta get over to see if anyone is in chat....bye for now!!

Aw sugar knew I forgot something ! Really wanted to make chat, marked on calendar for next week.

The rake saw what he did to the shovel, hoe and axe and ran. Its now in the implement protection program.

And now the shovel and hoe are pushing up daisies.

Go rowers! My best friend is on the US National team - preparing for World's in Germany right now. She rows in the coxed four adaptive boat (for the disabled - she's blind)

That's awesome. I LOVE rowing. I love watching Men's 8.......
oh, sorry, you lost me there for a minute.

Dh rowed in college. It was all good.

Use the ATM and viola:

WE'RE SORRY THIS CARD CANNOT BE USED AT THE ATM​

Four letters for ya man, USAA
