Quickly saying hello, see you all later

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

lisa....do we know how many only posting once are going?
* it just seem strange they only posted once but then
this was tough cruise to get on?

no! no room assignment...but we paid our downpayment? does that
mean we on? [for sure?] we must have 2 rooms, and the ways this
cruise went has made me into a "nervous wreck!"......[ my boys are
really looking for it].

andrew?....i don't mean to be intrusive, but since you went on the first
one, may i asked your feelings about it? [ iam most interested in what
your family told you cos that' my concerns ].
secondly, even though its been 30 years from the days i back packed
england/eruope...from a cultural stand point....i felt from the begining
the co. made a hugh mistake ...placing a disny park in paris instead
of anywhere in england...[our family has a french heritage] but based
on history...we always matched up more with england? do you mind
expressing your take on this? [iam just wondering ]

Are you considering having children? To determine whether you are truly prepared for the experience, we suggest you take this set of simple tests...

MESS TEST:
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Now rub your hands in the wet flower bed and rub on the walls. Cover the stains with crayons. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.

TOY TEST:
Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos. (If Legos are not available, you may substitute roofing tacks or broken bottles). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream (this could wake a child at night).

GROCERY STORE TEST:
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop at the grocery store. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.

DRESSING TEST:
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all arms stay inside.

FEEDING TEST:
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Cheerios) into the mouth of the jug while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.

NIGHT TEST:
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8 to 12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 8:00 PM begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 PM. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 PM. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more new ones and sing these too until 4:00 AM. Set alarm for 5:00 AM. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for five years. Look cheerful.

PHYSICAL TEST (WOMEN)
Obtain a large beanbag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10% of the beans.

PHYSICAL TEST (MEN):
Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the assistant to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest grocery store. Go to HR and arrange for your wages to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.

FINAL ASSIGNMENT:
Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training, and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to cause havoc. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.

so true

Gotta go shower. See ya later.

Psss--you might want to take your hair out of that schoolmarm bun.

Glad you are doing ok!

 

[Enna]

Funny thing is, Angelina said she really isn't all that interested in driving just yet, but thought it would be a good idea to have her license incase she and Hazel are out, and Hazel doesn't feel like driving home. Hazel had a little fender bender accident the other day, nothing serious, but she is really starting to worry me with her driving, back in June she had totaled our new car, only had it six months at the time.

Hazel was in her 30's before she got her driver's license.

Oh well, got to grab some lunch, be back soon.

Oh no! Sounds like Hazel is having a rough spell with the driving.

There have been lots of little fender benders due to the weather. I hope she's ok!

 

[Enna]

I have

me too...

 

[jonesing]

Okay, what happened to the reasonable pace I can keep up with? I'm gone from 2pm yesterday to 7am this morning - a mear 17 hours - and there are 50 new pages to read!!!
Don't you people have lives?!?!?

huh? What life?

 

[jonesing]

S***!!!!

Thery're calling for s***

Overview:

Heavy snow and wind will cause travel problems for mountain areas along and west of the Continental Divide today, and bursts of heavy snow may hit us locally this afternoon and tonight...

Hello. My happy pill is Lexapro.

My pill of choice is XANAX for panics. For my walking the halls at 3 am. is ambien!!!!! What does this say about all of us?? Do you think we are all type "A" personalities??" It is not that I am a control freak or anything

 

[Enna]

Now that I have managed to

I

Ok....not really. I'm just being silly.

Hello everyone ...First let me say THANK YOU for all the well wishes , Its great to know in a internet world like this that people can come together and share.

Things went well , and for me was probably one of the hardest things I have had to do in what I consider still my young life ..LOL But I am back home in Vegas after making my peace and do feel that a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have to be honest , the whole viewing thing was way creepy for me and I really didnt handle that well, but did make it through and couldnt wait to get back to hold my kids. I wish this man would have gotten to get to know his grandkids, but as I said I have made my peace and have forgiven him ...

I will be around a little today I still have MIL in town , but I at least wanted to write and say thank you all for being here and your nice wishes and prayers ...

It's great to have you back, Todd. Be good to yourself for a while and let yourself process what you've been through the last week.

On mine the CC shows up on the line under the email address and if you click that- it shows the box with all the email addys on the contact list and gives the choice of sending to email, CC or BCC there. I haven't figured out how to get BCC to actually show right there on the email "form" so to speak.

Okay, figured out how to get the BCC field to show up whenever you start a new email message - at least if you're using MSWord as your editor.

1) Open a new message
2) Click on the arrow on the menu bar that is next to the "Options" button
3) Click on "Bcc" - from then on the Bcc field should show up on all new messages

(Here's the link for Help that even has a little animation to show what to do... http://office.microsoft.com/training/Training.aspx?AssetID=RP010515511033#)

I paid $126 every 6 months for insurance in the late '80s as a secondary driver on my parents' cars. I think it was $400/year in '91 when I was out of college & had my own new car.

Called USAA for a quote for 15 turning 16 son.. affectionately called on the DIS DS#1...they said no cost while he is on a learner permit and $100 per month once he gets his license..that is for a third driver on a 2003 Honda Civic

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Well done! 35,000

 

[geffric]

I know it was one rare instance and suicidal pilots or terrorists are far from the top of my list of travel worries. It's the rushed maintenance I worry about -- they are given too little time to do their jobs and under enormous cost pressure.

that's what scares me too..

 

[pyramid2000]

Seriously?!?!

Does flying bother you? DMom loves to fly...but hates takeoff, landing and turbulance! I thought we were going to have to sedate her once whereas I'm more apt to fall asleep before wheels-up! Too much time spent in flight testing

Is there anything else??

'93? I had my last kid in '93.. ok I am offically old.. back to work for me .. see ya all later

25 Ways to Tell You’re Grown Up

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 am is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favourite songs on the elevator.

6. You watch the weather channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce, instead of “hook up” and “break up.”

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14 days.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”

10. You’re the one calling the police because those @$%#! kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald’s leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You take naps.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 am would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for Ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer ‘Pretty good ****.”

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. “I just can’t drink the way I used to” replaces “I’m never going to drink that much again.”

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking “Oh ****, what the hell happened?”

26. Bonus: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn’t apply to you and can’t find one to save your sorry old add.

Does flying bother me........well I hate it, I detest it to the very core of my being. I'd rather pluck my eyeballs out of their sockets and yank every hair out of my head. I'd rather visit the Gynecologist, I rather have a colonoscopy........Yeah, I think I have a problem with flying

That ls why I am driving!
