8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 8

[buckifan]

If I wanted a car, I needed to buy it myself and pay my own insurance.

Well, my parents did get my sister and I a car to share......it was a big green monster! A Plymouth Sports Fury. It was so bad that I actually preferred driving my mom's Brady Bunch station wagon.

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 .

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.

You guys find the best things!

*SIGH*

I am so glad this day is almost over...can we just pretend it didn't happen?!?! I'm gonna go home...(stop & pick up a pint of Ben & Jerry's first! ) Then go home, eat dinner, and then sit down, veg in front of the TV with my pint...

Good night all, and I am determined to make tomorrow BETTER THAN TODAY...

It sounds like you need one of these. Hope tomorrow is better for you...

 

[Verandah Man]

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

Make mine chocolate glazed with chocolate jimmies!!!

 

[pyramid2000]

I must have missed this in between the blah blah blah.. are you driving to CA??

That is my plan...

 

[pyramid2000]

82 bottles of beer on the wall...
I cheated and took 2...I really need it today...LOL

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

We believe in fur-free pets . .LOL. We have two hermit crabs and a beta fish. Dogs and cats are too much work when you travel a bunch. But we enjoy other people's animals vicariously . . .LOL. My DSs especially enjoy my brothers 3 ducks, my dad's goats, chickens, dogs, and whatever else his wife keeps around . . .LOL

Don't you eventually finish what ever it is you are cross-stitching? Or are you cross-stitch embroidering a tent from Omar's?

Truthfully, I never finish most of them. But when I start, I stitch morning, noon, and night.

 

[Verandah Man]

Let us know if you find any holes in your eyelids, okay? It's good to check that now and again.

Nope, didn't find any holes in the eyelids, the hole in the bottom of the hot water heater was enough hole searching for me today............

Make mine chocolate glazed with chocolate jimmies!!!

Do I hear the pitter patter of little Groundhog feet?

 

[pyramid2000]

Do I get my Veteran tag now?

Congrats!

Yes, it is recommended you open the drain valve every six months and let about a few gallons of water drain out. This water will likely be murky with all the rust and sediment. If you don't do this, sediment can build up and eventually damage the heating element.

Some people recommend shutting the tank off and draining it completely once a year.

But ours is in the attic!

I was thinking the same thing. They both disappeared at the same time and returned at the same time.

Has anyone ever seen the Captain and Judy in the same room at the same time???

You guys are bad!!!

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.

At 12 you can tell them that you're waiting for grandchildren . . .LOL . . .I've been saying that for many years. DS10 originally planned to have 99 children. The number has dropped since he was age 5, but he still will need a very special wife .. I can't wait for grandbabies!

Well I feel so satifsied now.. just had a Special K bar Vanilla Crisp.. NOT!!! I want CHOCOLATE.. and all this talk about donuts and food.. and I wont even go there when the desserts were being posted last night.. That just aobut killed the weight loss for me.

I have about 4 32 oz glasses of h2o in me now... had to be sure I had plenty of CHARMIN on hand...It does help to have the healthy snacks in the house to get you through the long nights..

 

[sk8ingmom]

Back then it was 15 cent wings on Tuesday nights at B-dub's.....yummmmmm!

What bar would you guys go to on High Street?

I don't think I ever went to a bar, although I remember walking up & down High Street on Sat. night. I didn't turn 21 until 6 weeks before I graduated & it was much more difficult to sneak into a Columbus bar than in Athens. We usually made the party rounds when I went up to visit.

Caroline - have you ever driven cross country before? I made it a family vacation when my kids were 8 & 10. We took 6 weeks and visited family & friends from CA to east coast with bunches of stops in between. This was on a tight budget so we camped along the way unless we stayed w/fam.,etc.

How long do you plan on taking to get here? It's a Big country - but I loved it, I got lost alot (so much for AAA maps) but met the nicest folks along the way. They took pity on a Mom & 2 kids - or they thought oh here's another Calif. nut!!
