The Toronto Santa Claus Parade will be next Sunday, November 21. Lara and I (and hopefully DH) will be going to see it, especially since it’s the 100th Anniversary Edition of the Parade. After that, it’s all “fair game”!

Arlene [/B]

Is that THIS Weekend?

OMG, that means the Festival of Lights in Niagara Falls is this weekend which means Uncle Mickey will be there!

Geez, maybe this means a Road Trip!

Boy, BIG HEADLINES in your area!! Scott Peterson found guilty, 1st Degree too!!!!I thought they would convict him, but maybe 2nd degree...
I always thought he did it, anyway, from the very beginning!!!!!!!!

I agree with you! Good Ol' Rock and Roll!

And regarding Scott Peterson, at least they did the right thing with him! But still won't bring her and the baby back.

Don't be surprised Barbara if 60-70 friends from main dining come to visit you during dinner. We might even make it a D&N dinner meet!!!

 

[Bmwdsny]

speaking of scott peterson, if they ever do a movie, ben alfleck should do the role of scott,,they looked alike! and poppy mongomery of 'without a trace ' sould play role of amber frey, scott's girlfriend.

i am watching fox's news now...and was thinking that....

ok i am bored....
i am really feeling sorry for myself and i hate typing with one hand!!!

Ouch!

I hope you are feeling better and your fingers heal fast!

That is one of the reasons I now stay away from cooking! It's too dangerous!

Ouch Melinda! My sis-in-law just sent me an e-mail recently with this: " I also use calendula gel; it is excellent for burns and abrasions. The pain of the burn disappears!!" She's a good resource and I would think it is true. Hope you feel better soon!

Mark, I'll make sure to have my camcorder ready each night and be ready to join in - maybe we'd better not bring our kids to dinner after all...

Scratch, looks like Rock N Roll will be the dancin' of choice!

Christmas Letter

Dear Darling Son and That Person You Married,

Merry Christmas to you, and please don't worry. I'm just fine considering I can't breathe or eat. The important thing is that you have a nice holiday, thousands of miles away from your ailing mother. I've sent along my last ten dollars in this card, which I hope you'll spend on my grandchildren. God knows their mother never buys them anything nice. They look so thin in their pictures, poor babies.

Thank you so much for the Christmas flowers, dear boy. I put them in the freezer so they'll stay fresh for my grave. Which reminds me -- we buried Grandma last week. I know she died years ago, but I got to yearning for a good funeral so Aunt Viola and I dug her up and had the services all over again. I would have invited you, but I know that woman you live with would have never let you come.
Well son, it's time for me to crawl off to bed now. I lost my cane beating off muggers last week, but don't you worry about me. I'm also getting used to the cold since they turned my heat off and am grateful because the frost on my bed numbs the constant pain. Now don't you even think about sending any more money, because I know you need it for those expensive family vacations you take every year. Give my love to my darling grandbabies and my regards to whatever-her-name-is -- the one with the black roots who stole you screaming from my bosom.

Merry Christmas.

Love, Mom

Either would be O.K. with me...Mark

Grumbo and Jazzman - Updated status please? - Inquiring minds want to know.

(Mark, Melinda and I placed our votes in favor but these guys do not want to play ball, maybe we need to stir the pot a bit if you get the drift - No monopolies allowed, it's a free enterprise system on the Magic.)

Melinda, I'm bored too! Should have gotten a sitter tonight and gone on a date with dh...sigh...

The Legend Of Angels Atop Trees

Santa was very cross. It was Christmas Eve and NOTHING was going right. Mrs Claus had burned all the cookies. The elves were complaining about not getting paid for the overtime they had put in while making the toys. The reindeer had been drinking all afternoon and were dead drunk. To make matters worse, they had taken the sleigh out for a spin earlier in the day and had crashed it into a tree.
Santa was furious. "I can't believe it! I've got to deliver millions of presents all over the world in just a few hours- all of my reindeer are drunk, the elves are on strike and I don't even have a Christmas tree! I sent that stupid Little Angel out HOURS ago to find a tree and he isn't even back yet! What am I going to do?"
Just then, the Little Angel opened the front door and stepped in from the snowy night, dragging a Christmas tree. He says, "Yo, fat man! Where do you want me to stick the tree this year?"And thus the tradition of angels atop the Christmas trees came to pass........

Love, Mom

Lucky for me my dear mother-in-law was a truly a dear...really miss her, wish our kids had been given more time to grow up and spend with their grandma. Know I'm in the minority as far as MILs go though!

Thanks Mark, you brought good memories to my mind tonight.

Here's an ode to the good MILs:


How blessed we are,
How fortunate we've been.
That you are his Mother,
And also MY friend.

OK Mark, you did not know your funny story would also bring some sentimental stuff to the thread, now did ya'?

I do sentimental!!

A LETTER TO SANTA

I am only six years old,
you won't remember me
but there's something very special
I would like beneath my tree..
In September I lost my daddy..
He had to go away..
The angels came and took him
very early in the day..

I know that you can't change this,
that's how it has to be..
But won't you please -
can't you please -
bring mommy back to me?

She hasn't really left you know -
her body is still here -
but her eyes no longer sparkle,
they just overflow with tears..

She slowly walks from room to room
as I follow with these words -
I say, "I love you mommy"
but my voice is never heard..

She sits down in the parlor
in my daddy's easy chair
and talks to him for hours -
even though he isn't there..

My mommy used to sing to me
and hug me oh so tight!
Now she hugs her pillow
while she sobs, "It isn't right.."

I know that I'm not daddy
and I could never take his place,
but if mommy would only let me
I would try to fill the space..

I can see her heart is breaking -
my own hurts real bad too -
but I am only six years old -
I don't know what to do..

So it's this that I would wish dear Santa
beneath my Christmas tree -
won't you please -
can't you please -
bring mommy back to me?

For our northern friends- Here's a couple of avatars for you.

and one for us "Fools"

 

[Bmwdsny]

Like my signature below???

I am typing normal!! Feeling much better...Whew....

Took Tylenol, Spray the burn stuff and was in ice for last 4 hours!!
and relaxed tonight...

Now, i am on the up and it is already late...

Thanks Janet and Barbara...I am just glad it was not worse!!
Burnt my fingers pulling the rolls tray out of the oven and the oven mitt was no good anymore and burnt right thru and burnt my fingers...This is what i get for cooking for my DH tonight!!

 

[mississaugamom]

After a quiet couple of days, everyone's very chatty tonight! I should have been taking notes!

Scratch - The Niagara Festival of Lights is also next weekend:The Disney Characters open the Festival on Saturday, November 20, and "Mickey's Magical Holidays Show" will be on Sunday, November 21 at 5:30 and 7:00 pm

Darn! Now I have to choose between the Santa Claus Parade and Mickey's Show on the same date!

Melinda - Sorry about your burned hand! Have you put aloe on it??? I'm sitting here with an ice pack on my arm. We had flu shots at work today and I'm wishing I hadn't gotten it. About an hour afterwards, I started to get dizzy and lightheaded. When I felt a little better, I drove home with the car windows wide open! Now all I have is a headache and a very sore arm from the injection.

Barbara - I too was one of the lucky ones where mother-in-laws are concerned. We got along very well, but she passed away very suddenly (heart attack) when Lara was only four months old. We were just talking about her at dinner tonight, and how she was gone much too soon.

I'm also a fan of good old rock and roll. Actually, I loved most of the music of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. I'm hoping I can tolerate the smoke long enough to enjoy the 60's and 70's shows onboard this time!

Small, small world, Barbara! In addition to the 2B's in our family, we have 2J's as well!!! DH and I are opposites of each other - my initials are A.M. and his are M.A.

Sorry to everyone who hates Christmas things prior to Thanksgiving, but I'm hoping our Christmas lights are going up this weekend! It's supposed to be sunny and relatively mild here (in the 40's anyways) so we take advantage of it and hang up all the outdoor lights! We won't turn them on until December 1, but we leave them on until Ukrainian Christmas! My brother-in-law is Ukrainian so they celebrate twice.

Maybe I should go find something to drink - it might help more than this stupid ice pack!!!

Hey, Mark

I loved the Angel on top of the Tree post! Your "sentimental" had me in tears, though.

Thanks for the avatar options! How do I figure out how to change mine? (Sorry, but I think I'll go with the nice maple leaf - NOT the "fool"!)

Arlene

 

[mississaugamom]

Wow, Melinda

Just caught up on what I missed while writing my last lengthy post!

Love the new signature line! I can't wait to meet everyone!

Arlene, take some Tylenol...It wll help the pain on the arm..Makes you wonder if the shot is worst than the flu!! LOL!!

Yes, me three...I get along very very well with my mother in law..I am very fortunate that she is still alive and kicking. I become her 8th child (yes, my dh is one of 7 kids !! Yowee!!!) when i met Bob when i was 14 years old. and top if off, My parents get along with Bob's parents too!! It is so nice to have my kids see both grandparents in the same room laughing together!!
