CSE-- Pg. 74 SATAN'S HAMMER, Ch.18, pg.160 "Goodnight Sweetheart" epilogue

[pkondz]

Hi! Been meaning to get back here and catch up. I was actually waiting for your tr to loa on Sunday. We were all just being lazy and watching movies when Lance fell off our couch. Long story short is he had a stroke. Fortunatly I remembered the part from all those CPR classes the district has me sit in had daughter megan (the youngest at 18 years old) here so I had her dial the phone while I was with him and then sent her for asprin. Lance is going to be ok. will need to have some surgery to unclog his pipe and the asprin did the trick as far as the stroke went. no noticeable effects as far as movement and speech. one or two more tests and he will be back home today and then the surgery in 2 to 4 weeks. so we are now quitting smoking and making sure we have asprin in the house.
so I will catch up eventually.
the big thing is that he is ok and after a bit of repair will be great.
That pic of you two in front of the fountain at Epcot is exellent btw

Chiming in Betsey. Glad to hear that he's ok.... How are you?

 

[mrsksomeday]

I enjoyed the video, I like corner rooms a lot. We have yet to step foot on CSR property, maybe someday.

I am still giggling over the girl and the mug, that is too funny.

Bill was cracking up about you being magnetized. He is trying to talk me into driving to WDW, I am against it but I could see him winning the fight. At least we wouldn't have to drive by Ina right ?

 

[nebo]

Boy,,, I"m so far behind. Now I have to go back and figure out which chapter I left off on,, but I'm really enjoying this so far, but you know how it is when life get's in the way. I just want to say that you are all excellent writers, and in the future I'll try not to be such a lurker, and post now and then.

Still trying desperately to catch up to everything and everyone... but I'm gonna start with this quote...



... and this response...

Again? Do you want me to go and pick something up from the drugstore? Or I'd be happy to make you a broccoli and jelly sandwich, with reall butter, of course.

Annoying… and found near water…

Wasn’t that you?



Yup. Definitely you.

I hate when I can't argue with you.

That’s our Nebo. Trying to make friends with as many people as possible while alienating them at the same time…

Remember that book in the sixties, "How to lose friends and alienate neighbors? " I read it 3 times.

Just ‘cause something hasn’t been done… doesn’t mean it should.

Hmnm,,, then it sounds like you're not going to like the chapter where I Hijack the boat in Maelstrom.

Whoops,, I mean Nordstrom.


You’re hurt! We’re just innocent bystanders here! We have to read this stuff!

Ha,,, you think writing bad jokes is easy. It's like when an executive comes to the defense on how cheesy DinoLand looks at Animal kingdom,,,,," Do you know how much moeny it costs to make it look that cheesy?"


There’s a reason. We’re all afraid you’ll post… no… I’m not going to say it. It’s udderly inconceivable that anyone would want to see that again.

Hmm,, I haven't posted that pic on this report yet, have I?





Well, sure. She’s seen you already.



Not a bad pic of you. And real men like you and me have ‘staches. Right?

Well,,, yeah,,,, THIS trip. Don't know yet on the next trip,,,,I'd grow a beard or goatee if the thing didnt itch so much,,,, man I hate that.

( Did those last 4 words sound like Shaniah Twain to you or is it just me again.?)

Oh, and 70s porn stars, of course.

Umm…

Forget that last part.

Ok, Ron J.
You don't still have the T-shirt that says "I am the man from Nantucket", do you?

( IF I used that before,, I'm sorry)
(ok, if I DIDN"T use it before, I'm sorry)

All this time and I never thought of that line?

Another nice smiley. We should enact a new trip report feature,,, at least for a few of us,,, called,,,
"Truth or Sarcasm!"
We're you just being truthfull,,,, or being sarcastic and facetious.



Very nice. You know you’re in a classy establishment when they put rugs on the beds.

Yeah, but I kept tripping on the sheets and pillows!



Oh, God! This is going to be worse than the cow pic!!!!



I like that they said ‘thanks’ too. Not just no. It’s like you were offering them a free camera with every picture taken.


Well, I’m thinking of just saying, “No thanks” just to see people’s reactions.

You know,,, that does sound fun to try now ourselves.


Actually, the first thing I thought was: Look at the camera and figure out how it works. But that’s just me, I guess.

I have found that it's never a person with a disposable camera that asks me to take their picture.
It's always this thing with a thousand buttons and readouts on it,,,,that can also be used for night vision and "On the go" MRI's.

That’s true. I handed my camera (reluctantly) to someone to take a pic of me and DD15… and I got the entire world... with us cut off in the corner. Of course.

Smidgy used to be terrific at taking pictures of her thumb.

Notice I’m restraining myself and not commenting on the unfortunately named planet.
Sometimes I’ll bend over backwards in order to just let things alone.

It was going to be Pluto,,, but then I thought,,, first,,, No,, they'll think I mean the character,,, or,,, somebody will lecture me on how it's not really a planet anymore,,,,

Actually, nice pic. IMHO.

Is the "H" in IMHO , humble, or honest, or Whocares?

We have the ever-expanding plastic bag… but I hear ya.

That is exactly what it is.


Totally missed this the first time (rushed) I read the chapter. I too have ordered DW to get me my meal…


Once.

You see,,, that's how trouble starts.
I never used the word "ordered" with Smidgy in that sentance,,, and MANkind doesn't need you to go and change things and make them now sound worse than they really were, it just riles them up more.
Then next thing you know, they'll want to vote too!

(well,, you already said I was seeming like I was trying to get people mad at me,,, so way stop there?)

Great. Just one more thing we have in common. This is getting a little weird.

And yes,,, I do like Chocolate Milk too, occasionally,,, as long as it's cold.

Oh, it’s probably not good for you. I’m pretty sure that scientists will keep changing things around and nixing other things until they finally get it right and we’re all dead.

Everything so far causes cancer in laboratory mice,,,, I think pretty soon the only thing they say we'll be able to eat safely is laboratory mice.

Um… you do know that white bread is made with white flour… which is made from wheat?

There is one fake buttet product I don't mind,,, and that is "Move Over Butter".




Before I get flamed here, yes there are some really good things to eat at Disney, but I wouldn’t say my main reason for going is the fries. That’s usually one area where I’m disappointed.

the best part of Disney fries,, is in the food courts where you can fill up little white paper cups with mustard, mayo and ketchup for dipping the fries.
I also do another cup with ,,, shudder,,, a little mayo and BBQ suace that comes in the packets.





If you were in the middle of a dessert, would you have chips or slaw with you?

I would have the "Sahara Lee Cheese Cake!"
Oh yes,,, he shoots,,, he SCORES!

I like trying different kinds of chips and I like Kettle chips. Every time I see something really weird in a chip bag, I’ll try it.

I used to do that,,, now I stick to the basics.

intermission

 

[nebo]

Agreed. It’s like the author gave up and … oh, don’t want to ruin it.

Well,, after all the rave reviews,,, we went yesterday and saw Snow White and the 7 "Old Brittish Actors" ,,,but both of us were let down by this movie also,,,, again,,,, not as bad as Hunger Games,,, but they've got the shaky camera thing going on again. I'd like to say or predict this trend will pass,,, but my kids still tease me on how I said 25 years ago that rap won't last another 3 years.



I don’t know. It’d be a hard name to live up to, wouldn’t it?

No, Obsidian would be a hard name to live up to.
sorry, tired.

I’m not so sure that Smidgy, or all women for that matter, are complicated creatures. I’m inclined to think that men are just that simple minded.

Or maybe that’s just me.

Well done!
But Smidgy is a very complicated creature,,, I know,, I"ve seen the manual,,, and replacement parts aren't cheap!


I honestly don’t know if I could’ve contained myself at this point. I really don’t know.

Itruly wished I was there myself.


And still one of my favourite Nebo TR moments.

Sorry Smidgy.

no needto apologize,, I remind her of it all the time.


I hate when people read over my shoulder.

She wasn't reading over my shoulder,, she was reading my shoulder,,,, or at least trying to connect the freckles or something.



<crickets> <crickets> <crickets>

I'm picturing that one poor little cricket in Top Secret.

Shoot. I don’t remember. How much was it again, before? Something like $17 wasn’t it?

The Bacon-Cheeseburger was 15.95,,, and I refused to pay it!

Thanks for the chapter! :

Thanks for the breakdown, nice yob!

OH wow!! What a happy, happy time in your lives!! To be reunited after such a long time, I can only imagine how your hearts must be swelling right now! Great pictures, a great looking group, and the happiness is just beaming out of ALL of you!!

Dawn,, really ,, it's not that big a deal,,, we converse back and forth with Ponzi all the time here,,, maybe just a couple days in a row...
OH,,,,the Twins,,, oh, I get it now,,, yeah,,, that makes alot more sense.

Thank you.
And how strange it wasn't Jim Beam beaming out of me, but genuine happiness,,,, thanks again.


And happy belated anniversary! My dh and I celebrated our 20th at Disney World a couple weeks ago, it was great!
Here's to many, many more!!

~~Dawn

Hey,, that's great,, 20 years,,, but you are still just getting to know each other.

Quick flyby here...I went away for a few days and had to catch up!

Happy Belated Anniversary!!! Glad you got to reconnect with your Grandsons. That is AWESOME!!!

I have a comment re:hot dog sliders and easy ice, but since this is a family board I'll let it go.

Can't wait for your next update!

I don't think there's a comment in the English language that cand do or make hot dog sliders sound appetizing.

 

[nebo]

Got it…Yellow Jackets are annoying when they come into close contacts with a painful sting. However, if they are happy, all the above is null and void since this only happens when angered.

Did I get that right?

Don't you start with me too, now lady.

And never will again, because no one can replicate a Nebo classic…That and no one will be able to spell it.

Heck, even now all i remember is it starts with and S.

Nope, Not gonna touch this one…I know I’ll get myself in trouble.

Hey, why shiould you be any different?




Technically we got a bit of Nebo too, your reflection was in the window…

I'll be honest with you,, if I had seen a larger picture of the one I posted of myself at Off Kilter,, where I"m standing by myself,,, I very well might have deleted it,,,,I can't believe how old,,, shriveled my face,, especially around my eyes look,,, and how tired I looked.
Geesh,,, guess the no sleep and getting up for a Six oclock flight etched itself in my face.


This would have been more of the…I have to take a picture of this. No one will believe they put rugs on our beds if I don’t have the pic to back it up. And Smidgy is sitting there rolling her eyes.

Yes,,, that is exactly what it was.

With you exposing yourself, they probably weren’t sure where you were keeping the camera.

My buddy did that once for Halloween,,, wore the trench coat,,, and when he flashed,,, he had a camera mounted to his belt with a string or something to shoot it when the people's heads would look down there when he ripped his coat open.... pretty durn funny. This was over 20 years ago,,,, and even stranger,,, I just saw him 3 hours ago.


I’m with Ponzi, My first reaction is, How does this work…

Yeah, yeah,, ok,,, I get it,,, you still always loved him better.


I like this pic of the two of you. Very very nice!

I have to agree,,, she looks great in it,, and it's far enough away where I didn't get to ruin it.

Why do I have the feeling that you do this just so you can say that, and that you get a wild kick out of doing so?


I knew what you were talking about from the main screen,,, and I agreed with you when I read it,,, jsut can't rember what it was right now.

I didn’t say he would get what he wants…

How, or why,, should getting a Disney hot dog be difficult?





The question is…How many sliders did you get per meal? If you got at least 2, then technically you got your 1 hotdog. Just fuse them together with mustard…You’ll be fine!

I was really hoping nobody would ask me this,,,, it was definately at least 2,,, with a slim possiblity of there actually being 3,,,, but I'm sticking with Door Number 2.
No,, quantity wise,, it wasn't a bad deal,,, but it just seemed strange,,, too much work setting them up,,, and maybe they were now thinner,,, resulting in too much bun.
The chips which Diane straightned me out on,,, yes,,, the bag of chips was the Desert/dessert,,, the ones they put on the side of your plate, were just,,,, on their own,,, and crappy tasting,,, these were the Disney chips.




That’s good to know. They really can’t screw up milk, unless you’re like my brother and have to have a certain brand. There is a reason my brother cannot live anywhere by NM, he won’t drink any other brand by Creamland. If he lived elsewhere, we would have to ship it to him…

I"m assuming you mean he needs to HAVE Creamland?
is it that good?

I love Kettle chips, but I’m big on the crunch factor. I need a chip to make some noise. Although I tend to like the krinkle cut better than just the regular potato chip…Anywho…Back to your story.

I still prefer, Lays, Jays, Ruffles,, (especially with dip), and maybe Vintners. You can keep alla the other weird ones.
My all time fave though disappeared many years ago,,,
Yoho. They were the Zebra Dome of Chips.


You ruins it!

Kidding…I just wanted to post a Gollum smiley…I’ve already read all 3 and I agree with you. It was too much was crammed into the last book, and wasn’t written as well as it could have been.

Oh, so nice to see my precious,,, and what does it have in it's pockets?

Duh, I mean doesn’t everyone want their ice and their pop to match? Hello? She is a woman, everything’s supposed to match.


To this day, I still have to remember to keep an eye on her when we get dressed to go into a park,,, she will sometimes try to match me,,,, trying to be cute,,,, which you damn well know will embarass me to no end.


I couldn’t help but crack up laughing at this…Not about the Yellow jackets, but your reference to the Hunger Games while detailing it. A friend of mine was reading the books not too long ago and while on a trip to another town for work, she noticed the signs on the side of the road stating district changes for the police districts. These signs read: End District 5, Begin District 6, or something to that effect. Of course the first thing she thinks of is the Hunger Games….OK. Sorry…Squirrel…

I"m sure you've noticed,, I do that alot,,, weave in what's happening in every day life into my reports,,, can't help it,,,gonna happen again, no doubt.


I still can’t believe you were able to pull that off…And T-man, don’t be getting any ideas here Mr…

Donl't think I've ever had so much fun writing a chapter,, as that one!

What a steal! Honestly, We have been to PH many times, and to this day I still don’t think I have had one of their burgers. Now I must get one!

I do like them a lot. As for the price.....

We don’t mind padding and bubble wrap. The minute a piece of bubble wrap is around an adult we turn into kids anyway…We’ll just Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, right along with you.

I still have some bubble wrap in the living room we keep popping now and then.


Great chapter Nebo! Thanks!


And thank you Lady H.

A friend of mine at work brought me these..... That's my kind of chips!

Well I managed to resize the picture, now it's too small. In case you can't read it, they're BLT chips!

 

[Sandy Mouse]

Hi! Been meaning to get back here and catch up. I was actually waiting for your tr to loa on Sunday. We were all just being lazy and watching movies when Lance fell off our couch. Long story short is he had a stroke. Fortunatly I remembered the part from all those CPR classes the district has me sit in had daughter megan (the youngest at 18 years old) here so I had her dial the phone while I was with him and then sent her for asprin. Lance is going to be ok. will need to have some surgery to unclog his pipe and the asprin did the trick as far as the stroke went. no noticeable effects as far as movement and speech. one or two more tests and he will be back home today and then the surgery in 2 to 4 weeks. so we are now quitting smoking and making sure we have asprin in the house.
so I will catch up eventually.
the big thing is that he is ok and after a bit of repair will be great.
That pic of you two in front of the fountain at Epcot is exellent btw

Oh, Betsey, it's a good thing you were there and can keep a clear head in an emergency. I'll say a little prayer that everything goes well with his surgery.

My guess he pondered this for an hour and came up with nothing, good cover.

*check time between the postings.............

 

[Rapunzel]

I think I've missed your last couple of TR's because I was taking a break from the Dis. Who wants to read about going to Disney and having a good time when you know there's no way you'd be back for a while?

Can't wait to read more!

 

[shan23877]

Those sound delicious!

Well, you know that scientists have just discovered that saliva causes cancer. BUT only if swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.

[Thumper_Man's Wife]

Don't you start with me too, now lady.

It's my party and I'll start if I want to...Start if I want to...Start if I...Oh, wait...It's Nebo's party...Nevermind...

Heck, even now all i remember is it starts with and S.

Are you sure there wasn't a silent H before the S?


I'll be honest with you,, if I had seen a larger picture of the one I posted of myself at Off Kilter,, where I"m standing by myself,,, I very well might have deleted it,,,,I can't believe how old,,, shriveled my face,, especially around my eyes look,,, and how tired I looked.
Geesh,,, guess the no sleep and getting up for a Six oclock flight etched itself in my face.

Did you notice though that there was a smile on your face? After no sleep and getting up for a 6am flight the thought of smiling and having fun would be no where on my list, and yet there you are! So that smile takes all the rest of your worries away!


Yeah, yeah,, ok,,, I get it,,, you still always loved him better.

If I remember correctly, You said yourself that Ponzi always liked T-Man best.


I have to agree,,, she looks great in it,, and it's far enough away where I didn't get to ruin it.

That she does...and that man beside her doesn't look half bad either. So uh...were you taking the pic? J/K...you know you BOTH look great in the pic.


I knew what you were talking about from the main screen,,, and I agreed with you when I read it,,, jsut can't rember what it was right now.

You member...It was that thing, and the stuff, with that guy...Hello!

Actually it was regarding your laundry pile and your triumphant "It's Alive" comment.


How, or why,, should getting a Disney hot dog be difficult?

Because this is Disney...If you wanted a plain old you would be home...



I was really hoping nobody would ask me this,,,, it was definately at least 2,,, with a slim possiblity of there actually being 3,,,, but I'm sticking with Door Number 2.
No,, quantity wise,, it wasn't a bad deal,,, but it just seemed strange,,, too much work setting them up,,, and maybe they were now thinner,,, resulting in too much bun.
The chips which Diane straightned me out on,,, yes,,, the bag of chips was the Desert/dessert,,, the ones they put on the side of your plate, were just,,,, on their own,,, and crappy tasting,,, these were the Disney chips.

I'm pretty sure that Disney had no idea that they had a hot dog aficionado on their hands that day. Although i do have to agree with you on the too much bun thing. When I get a hot dog, i want to actually taste it.


I"m assuming you mean he needs to HAVE Creamland?
is it that good?

Yes! That's exactly what I'm saying. And , It's good. It's milk...To be honest, T-Man used to work for the grocery stores and come to find out that Creamland, and the store brand we have here, is pretty much the same thing. It's from the same manufacturer. But try telling that to my brother. :sad2:


I still prefer, Lays, Jays, Ruffles,, (especially with dip), and maybe Vintners. You can keep alla the other weird ones.
My all time fave though disappeared many years ago,,,
Yoho. They were the Zebra Dome of Chips.

Ruffles I'm with you, Lays I can handle, but they tend to be too much bag and not enough chips for me. I'm one of those that finds the funky chips and will try them. Kettle chips being one of them. Lately however, I've been making my own tortilla chips at home and so haven't really gone out to find anything new or funky.



To this day, I still have to remember to keep an eye on her when we get dressed to go into a park,,, she will sometimes try to match me,,,, trying to be cute,,,, which you damn well know will embarass me to no end.

You want to know something funny...T-Man will do that often. I have many a picture with us in matching outfits at the parks or for get togethers.


I"m sure you've noticed,, I do that alot,,, weave in what's happening in every day life into my reports,,, can't help it,,,gonna happen again, no doubt.

My problem is after reading a good book, especially something that you can sort of put yourself into, i tend to start thinking of things in my everyday life from the books perspective.After mentioning the district thing, We were watching the news the other night and during the weather, they were talking about all the fires that were pretty much surrounding us from all directions and they showed a map of the different counties in NM and of course they have them divided into Districts, and smack in the middle is District 12....


I still have some bubble wrap in the living room we keep popping now and then.
That's one thing I miss about being a kid...Being able to pop bubble wrap for hours and not getting into too much trouble if you go outside and do it or not being looked at like your from another planet. Do it as an Adult and you get that look quite often.


And thank you Lady H.

No no no...Thank YOU dear Nebo!

 

[nebo]

Betsey,, so sorry to hear about Lance, man, hope that never happens again.

Happy Belated Father's Day to all the dads in the TR!!

Most of the Dad's are Muthas'

. It simply mystifies them what amount of change should be given from a $14.50 charge when a $20.00 bill is given.

that's easy,,, the customer gets 4.50, and a dollar goes into your pocket.

I am thrilled that you and Smidgy have been reunited with your grandchildren. Your son looks so happy too! What a terrific weekend you guys had Nebo!!!

thanks Double D.

... and this response...

Aww, Ponzi is spewing money out of the ATM for my sweet reply to Nebo!

Marita,, he's very childish, just ignore him,, I liked what ou said.
Oh wait,,, I told you to say that, didn't I?
Well,, I know that you meant it, anyway.

Just wanted to say again that I'm really happy for your family to have made a re-connection with your grandsons. What a blessing to have so many of your loved ones around you for your anniversary!

Thank you Shannon, hope you like your new home in Plainfield.

I enjoyed the video, I like corner rooms a lot. We have yet to step foot on CSR property, maybe someday.

I am still giggling over the girl and the mug, that is too funny.

Bill was cracking up about you being magnetized. He is trying to talk me into driving to WDW, I am against it but I could see him winning the fight. At least we wouldn't have to drive by Ina right ?

Hi T racy,,, nice to see you again. You know, if it wasn'st for the interacting with others on our trips,, I would have stopped doing reports long ago,, but whether it's yellow jackets or cast memmbers or just me being stupid,,,,there's always something new to write about.

And yes,,, you wont have to go through Ina, but that was only one part of it,,, oh,,, the blow out was near Salem,,, that'[s also north of you,,,,, however,,,, the exhaust fell off at the Tennessee Unwelcome Center,,,,,,pssst,,,, keep going,, don't stop there!
And as for Bill likeing the magnet comments,,, shoot,, HE"S the real chick magnet,,, not only has he got you,,, he's had to turn away Susan Lucci,,, and I don't know who else!
As my magnetism has me turning to the north,, he's turning heads.
Ok,,, scratch that line,,, where's that Ponzi throw up smiley?

A friend of mine at work brought me these..... That's my kind of chips!

Well I managed to resize the picture, now it's too small. In case you can't read it, they're BLT chips!

Cool,,, didn't know Bay Lake Towers had it's own chips.

My guess he pondered this for an hour and came up with nothing, good cover.

*check time between the postings.............

Right. hey, need to call you to talk,,, still have the same number at home? The one I got from the restroom where it was written over the urinal? No, really,, easier than trying to answer your question in a PM.

I think I've missed your last couple of TR's because I was taking a break from the Dis. Who wants to read about going to Disney and having a good time when you know there's no way you'd be back for a while?

Can't wait to read more!

Rapunzel,,, nice to see you letting down your hair again, you're the Algonquinite, correct?

Well, you know that scientists have just discovered that saliva causes cancer. BUT only if swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.



/relurk

Ooh,, very good. So,,, by that logic,,, Ozzie Guillen and most other baseball players don't have to worry about that type of cancer, right?

No no no...Thank YOU dear Nebo!

Uh oh,,, the comments are in the quotes,,, that's ok,,, I have nothing that's better than the remarks you made,,, thank you and keep 'em coming.

 

[Rapunzel]

Rapunzel,,, nice to see you letting down your hair again, you're the Algonquinite, correct?

Yep, went to high school with Jeremy and graduated with Laura. No longer in Algonquin - closer to Joliet now.

how scary that must have been. I can't even imagine, my heart goes out to you both. I took CPR classes, and disn't hear anything about aspirin!! (guess I took the "basic" class?) how do you get someone in a seizure to swallow aspirin?
I am glad he is ok, and very happy to hear you are both quitting smoking. (we both did it, for nebo's vision, and it's hard, but worth it! you can do it!!)

I'll pray for a full recovery!

I'm so sorry to hear that, but it sounds like Lance is very, very lucky that you were there.

I'll pray for a full recovery, and that your family does well in a stressful time.

 

[pkondz]

I just want to say that you are all excellent writers,

There you have it. Nebo said I was an excellent writer. I have proof!

Again? Do you want me to go and pick something up from the drugstore? Or I'd be happy to make you a broccoli and jelly sandwich, with reall butter, of course.

Could you substitute ipecac for the butter?

Remember that book in the sixties, "How to lose friends and alienate neighbors? " I read it 3 times.

Couldn't understand it the first two times?

You don't still have the T-shirt that says "I am the man from Nantucket", do you?

Nope. Traded it in for "I am the man from Kent." T-shirt.

[All this time and I never thought of that line?

Another nice smiley. We should enact a new trip report feature,,, at least for a few of us,,, called,,,
"Truth or Sarcasm!"
We're you just being truthfull,,,, or being sarcastic and facetious.

Being truthful. Then being rue-full.

Everything so far causes cancer in laboratory mice,,,, I think pretty soon the only thing they say we'll be able to eat safely is laboratory mice.

I remember a long time ago, I heard a comedian say something about that. (Might've been Carlin). It went something like this...

Scientists now say hair dryers cause cancer. They aimed a hair dryer on high heat at a mouse. They left it on overnight. The next morning when the scientists came to work, the mouse was dead.

Must be cancer.

I would have the "Sahara Lee Cheese Cake!"
Oh yes,,, he shoots,,, he SCORES!

Well,, after all the rave reviews,,, we went yesterday and saw Snow White and the 7 "Old Brittish Actors" ,,,but both of us were let down by this movie also,,,,

Yeah, we saw that one too. Mostly because a) the special effects in the trailers looked really cool and; b)both DDs are Twilight fans and want to see anything with Kristen Stewart.

I'm hoping they came away with at least an understanding of what a good actress can do. Charlize Theron steals the movie with her great portrayal of the evil queen. Kristen Stewart? meh.

Here's Kristen Stewart as she appears when trying to portray teen angst:

And here she is, showing us 'fear':

and again, now acting 'terrorized':

and in love:

confused:

happy:

falling off a cliff:

being giddy:

pretty much any emotion you can possibly think of:

No, Obsidian would be a hard name to live up to.
sorry, tired.

That's all right. You tried. Sort of a diamond in the rough.

But Smidgy is a very complicated creature,,, I know,, I"ve seen the manual,,, and replacement parts aren't cheap!

So you tried to replace some parts, huh? Just out of curiosity... which parts?

Marita,, he's very childish, just ignore him,, I liked what ou said.
Oh wait,,, I told you to say that, didn't I?
Well,, I know that you meant it, anyway.

I am not childish! I'm not! I'm not! I'm not! Moooommmmm!!!!

Hey Nebo! I have a lot of catching up to do...been away from DIS for a couple of weeks with end of school year junk. But had to come on today to congratulate your White Sox...looks like you guys are getting Kevin Youkilis (our favorite Red Sox player). You are getting a heck of a ball player and a great guy. He will be missed here in Boston. I'm sure he'll do well out in Chicago.

Hope to catch up tonight...I've got many pages to read.

I'm so behind on this TR! First my in-laws were in, then my parents, & now my MIL is in. Plus, I've been working. During my days off, I'm either studying for all the extra classes & stuff I have to learn for work, or I'm at WDW. I'll eventually catch up!
