When I was a technical consultant for the local school district, a kid called in a bomb threat. It wasn't long after Columbine, so things were touchy around the school. Thank heavens it was a nice day outside and we had a decent football arena. My kids were glad I keep a frisbee in the trunk.
I bet you were glad too.
Did you hear about the bombs that were placed around town here in Aspen on New Year's Eve? I thought at first it was a joke! We were getting ready to go into town when my BFF'S son called and said don't bother they evacuated most of Aspen and that there were bombs placed around town.

That guy was crazy!

He drove up a pass that is closed to vehicles in the winter but open for snow mobiles, and shot himself. That was a pretty crazy night. We left on vacation the next morning, and when we were in the Dallas airport they were talking about it on the news.
I was lurking on my blackberry in the waiting room and caught that...glad I did or I would have been fiidgety every time it beeped while I was in the chair!!!!
Yay for the weight loss.

for the sitch with your bio father.
Washing fire trucks is NOT as easy as it sounds. E
specially if you are not the one with the hose.
Hey Yvet, I have made a few magnets for our door - possibly too many but then I guess I can give a few away
I used our own hot laminator and cut the shapes out afterwards leaving about 1cm gap. I bought some sheets of magnetic stuff that is thick but flexible and sticky on one side, I've cut out strips and peeled off the backing so it sticks to the picture. I have loads of sheets if you would like me to bring a couple for you let me know (pm me as I can't keep up with this thread

)
Here's what I've done
That is AWESOME! I only printed a few so far. I have more I want to print I'm not sure I'll get around to it.
I just finished my flattie. I would take a picture but he/she is in the witness protection program.
Mine too.
I think Paul was the model

I tried printing out some magnets the other day and I'm not very happy with them. My blacks aren't really BLACK. Tried adjusting the printer settings but I can't tell it did anything. (It's DH's printer and I'm not very familiar with it. Mine's not working properly.) I printed them on regular copy paper. I'm gonna laminate and attach magnet tape later this weekend probably. Am I doing it right? Should I be using a different kind of paper? I have cardstock. Should I use that instead?
I used regular paper for my magnets.
Congrats Kath!
I'm sorry about your BIO father.
I don't like funerals period. Don't feel bad about not going.

Great job on losing more weight!
