Hey Mark!!! It's your turn to let the dog in!!!!

We had our first in 1993 then our second in 1996 and then, for some reason known only to my wife, we decided, after getting all of the kids out of diapers and out of preschool, to go have another baby in 2002.

Everytime I look at her, I think, you know, I could have had a puppy.

That's what I did...got a puppy! They (meaning DH, DD, & DS) were bugging me to have another baby, so I got a puppy. Sometimes lately though, I start to get the hankering for another little one to care for, but then I remember that in about 10 years I'll be able to take that trip to Vegas, Ireland, Bermuda etc. sans kids I've been dreaming of!

I heard the KK whole wheat donut still has something like 180 calories. Granted that is half of a caramel kreme krunch, but still.

I was just proud that we bought two dozen KKs last Friday night and it took us until today to finish them. That's 24 donuts divided by 5.5 divided by 5 people, so less than one donut per day per person.

Funny story, we went to get Dunkin Donuts Friday night after getting groceries since the weather was supposed to be bad over the weekend. We walked into DD and they had maybe 10 donuts in the racks. I really wanted to ask the counterperson this is Dunkin DONUTS, right? How can you be practically out of your primary product?

That happened to us recently when we went to get the new Hot white chocolate.. they were out of the donuts in the morning.. I guess they don't make the donuts in the stores anymore.. everything is delivered to the stores..

My sister always said she wanted to be but in a garbage bag and left by the end of the driveway for the garbage man to pick up. She hates funerals. But she did say she wants yellow roses at her funeral so I guess, I will plant a rose bush by the mailbox.
Not that it will happen any time soon, I hope.

Yes this is true and I'll take a chocolate one with chocolate sprinkles..

Best I can do:

Hey Todd.... here's an idea...

I saw this on tv this morning...

There's a group of entrapeneurs who are building a city of Atlantis off the shores of Miami. (it's actually funded by becoming an underground cemetery for those who are cremated; ie small cement tubes)

They said that visting there (ie snorkling) was free to anyone who wanted to VISIT there.

They said it costs twice that of a regular funeral but sounded neat....

That sounds different ....too many options ....too many choices ...wow sounds like a cruise ...dang by the way I beetr start getting my Med repo planned or my wife may have me in the ground before I intend to go ..

well I am heading for train home and then out to dinner with the other scout MOMs.. see ya later..

DH doesnt' bug me about more children (I had fertility issues) but DS does. Keeps telling me he wants a sibling. When he was little I used to tell him that sometimes God doesn't give Mommies and Daddies more than one child - now that he's older I remind him that he is 12 and does he really want to share his room with a crying, pooping, peeing machine? That usually does the trick.

Well I think the guy who made the donuts died. Remember him? "Time to make the donuts..."

I saw that too.. must have been on the TODAY SHOW.. one person is saving seashells now to put in her eternal grave.. I hope they aren't afraid of the water now.. and are doing this to prove an eternal point..

My fathers family is Italian so when someone dies it's a huge thing - three day wake (with viewing) & catered lunch after the funeral. Just like baptisms and weddings.

We're Irish & do the same thing, but I like the whole toss me at sea idea.

My mother wants me to cremete her so she will always be warm. I didn't tell her that there is a place where it's warm all the time .

Wasn't he the same guy who was Sam Breakstone in the Breakstone's Sour Cream commercials?

 

[buckifan]

I am not sure how that will go down...lol no pun intended ...lol I have lost 14 lbs since Jan 13 so I am still in my craving mode.. so donuts are mentioned and I will leap through this computer...At this point i will take Choc, Vanilla, Cardbord... you name it..

Good job! Keep it up!

The next door neighbors back home asked me if the reason why I had my father cremated was to be sure he wouldn't come back. (They knew the story as their house was where I went to get away)

Do you have a drain or a sink? There should be an outlet on your tank that looks like a garden hose spigot. Attach a garden hose to it and then run the hose to a drain or sink (or if long enough hose, out a window). Or just put a bucket under the spigot.

the only drain is about 10-15 feet away and is the wall one that the washer drains into....

We do have a bath down there but that's another 20-30 feet away.

maybe a hose might work to the back yard but it's quite a distance...

sounds like me too... i met dh at 19 at college (in August 1991.) we got engaged the following summer (i was 20) and moved in together. Whoops dd came along a little over 10 months later (May 1993).... We kept putting off getting married. 1st until i graduated college. Then another year until he graduated..then until we both had full time jobs.... So finally in 1996 we got married.

So yes i've been with dh almost half my life.

We have something else in common......dh's Bachelor degree is in LA
