I posted enough to get the 3300 points necessary to request the WL loop then I took a break.

Hey y'all... I see that you tried to run and hide in a new thread. Found you!

Oh yes. Heard it, read it, lost my breath laughing. This is the one that just completely did it for me though-

Well well well, look who FINALLY decided to show up? I was wondering where you were at, Zip.

Read it, but mainly the second paragraph-

Not to say the rest isn't important (it is), but I think we can all relate to that second paragraph. Like, alot.

I think Glenn would fit in around here quite well.

How has your Disney-less weekend been?

Question:
You know how there were some new liberal posters who "appeared" mysteriously a few months ago?
I received an email notification from one who's tag says Proud single dad.
There were pictures attached. This is the link:

Notice the highlighted name. There was a liberal poster from GA whose user name was the same and she was proud single mom, coincidence or not???

spiderman on a christmas tree?

Oh yes. I'd say so too. I just finished part 1 of the An Inconvenient Book audiobook.... my mom prolly wondered what was so funny (since she was in the room next to mine and most likely could hear me), but I couldn't help it. On to part 2.... so much for saving that for the 12 hour drive to WDW!

It's been kind of crazy this weekend. My Mom fell and broke a rib (ouch!), so it looks like DW and I will be doing a bunch of the stuff my mom usually does for Christmas. I thought I was all done shopping and cooking. Just when I think I'm out they pull me back in!

I'm sorry to hear that about your mom. I'll definitely be praying she has a quick recovery! And the week of Christmas, too....

I once threw a loaded diaper down the stairs to put it in the trash later and it exploded all over the front door. Never did that again.

That's awesome Loco. I'll be done wrapping gifts tonight (I'm incredibly bored downstairs by myself so I keep coming up here to talk with the kids and DH). I'm on my 8th load of wash - only two more to go and I'll be done. Anyhoo, I hope to be done with wrapping tonight and then I need to finish the stocking by Christmas Eve. I'm hoping to bake some cookies on Christmas Eve

Question for all of you - my inlaws host Christmas on Christmas day and my MIL last year only baked a ham, nothing else. She didn't want anyone bringing anything because she wanted to keep things simple, and I listened and when we got there, there was nothing but ham and the cookies I brought to eat. My kids were starving. Thankfully, my smart SIL didn't think that would be enough to eat and she brought potatoes, veggies, pies - lots and lots of food when they arrived later.

This year, I'm bringing something, but we have a three hour drive. Can you think of something substantial that can travel well? I'll probably bring cookies like I do every year, but I'd like to add to the meal. Any ideas?

Thanks!

this whole post had me in stitches!!!

first the diaper exploding on the front door, then the christmas dinner of ham and cookies!

how about some stuffing...you could take some of that.

Awww, Zip, sorry about your mom! Prayers and quick-healing thoughts!

Oh man, it's Charade's Christmas present!

That reminds me...do you guys remember me making a comment in one of our PC discussions that my dad hates to be called a Native American and insists on being called an Indian, because (among other reasons) it allows him to tell people he is FBI (Full Blooded Indian)? I was up at the gas station at the top of my road and they had black T shirts that say FBI on them. And they had them in 2X! I bought one for him for Christmas. He's going to laugh. I'm looking forward to giving it to him!

I used to cheat for Christmas wrapping. At least until when my son noticed (I think he was 8) that there never was a present from dad, just all presents from Santa. And most of Santa's presents didn't have to be wrapped don't you know.

santa wrapped all of our presents, but i could tell he made my parents write the to/from tags.

How has your Disney-less weekend been?

All in all it's been kind of a stink pickle. Although DW and I did have some much-needed grownup time while the kids were with grandparents for a couple of nights. Even if it wasn't at WDW.

I'm sorry to hear that about your mom. I'll definitely be praying she has a quick recovery! And the week of Christmas, too....

Awww, Zip, sorry about your mom! Prayers and quick-healing thoughts!

Thanks for the prayers and happy thoughts. I'm a little bit ticked at my mom for not telling us earlier. She fell late Friday night but didn't tell us until today when we went to pick up the kids. If she would have told us earlier we'd have gone to get the kids earlier and she could just kick back and let the pain meds do their work.

On another topic, I'm watching Numbers that I DVR'd and I'm noticing on my new TV that it looks so dark. So I haul out the old one and hook them up side by side and it was also dark on that one as well (I was about to take it back to Walmart to replace it). So, are all hollywood directors trying to imitate Law & Order with their screen shots? Are we going back in time so that the new "in" thing will be to turn our HD tv's into high end radio's? I'm just wonderin'.

i'm not good with electronics. i only replaced my last (12") t.v. because 1) i had to move the couch to the middle of the family room just to be able to see the screen and 2) my friend asked why i watched everything in sepia tone, except i didn't intend to.

Yeah 'cause that's what it shows for me. I'm 'you' on my page.
