Four-mer TKers...4 one, 4 all, 4 ever

[whgrn]

Hi Lighttech!!! So sorry BL is sick again.

MK, I loved my Garmin Nuvi. Worked great. Of course, now my cell phone serves the same purpose, and it's always on, so...

Hmmm, housecleaning... Well, my house is always CLEAN--the housekeeper sees to that. But organized? Let's just say clutter is a BIG part of my life! I just have WAY too much stuff. I try to minimize as much as I can, but it's hard, especially with 2 kids, and a dog who seems to think his job is to take his toys out one by one and leave them all over the house! Every time I've moved (and I've moved often) I have gotten rid of tons of stuff, but new stuff seems to find me and stick like a magnet! I've used a personal organizer twice with mixed results.

I just had my first PT session (finally!) I really like the therapist. very pleasant and seems to know what he is doing. He was raving about how great I am doing already and how I am going to be just great when I get the other knee done and start riding a bike!! I am just so excited about all of this!

 

[Sukie]

A great big hello to all. I got caught up as much as I could. We have been really busy at work this last week. We just had our "All hands meeting" and was told that last quarter was good. They expect the next one to be ok too. The slowest one will be the third quarter and to be prepared to be working only 40hrs. a week. However we had some good news. Even with these hard times we all managed to get a bonus. My DH has worked for this company for 34yrs. and finally got an award for his enthusiasm, initiative and consistently superior performance. I am so proud of him.

The house of "Sukie" is still infected by the "bug" and DH has it now. Working all those hours really gets to you after awhile. We have been going to bed between 7:30 and 8:00. We are lucky if we get a chance to watch a little TV or read after supper. Doing dishes and maybe one load of laundry gets done. The only reason I am writing this and not doing anything else is because I took a "cat nap" after supper. I'll get the other stuff done later. .

Has anyone heard of "toolingu.com"? Our company has enlisted them so all of the empolyees can take lessons on line. From what we have been told it is a new company of 8yrs. Our is the first company in NH to get on board with them. The younger employees seem really excited to participate. All of the old ones (like me) really have no interest. It's all about learning the job which includes inspections with gauges, calipers, verniers, etc. CNC machines, scopes, and all of the tolerances. Safety concerns including OSHA. My head is spinning just thinking about it . I promise I won't go on about it any more.

I hope all of you race fans are having a good season so far.

Pepper23~ Congrats. Cool video

lighttech~ to your little one.

whgrn~ I see that PT is going good.

BTW we only got 3" of snow in this last storm. "Praise The Lord".

Chat later.

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

I'm always available at night. And M&N is here Monday-Thursday nights. You pick a time good for and we'll be here. Just let us know.

Have a nice night. Catch ya later!!!!

Well as far as Mon-Thurs, the worst night out of those for me is Monday. Anyone else have a preference? Looks like we are down to choosing between tues, weds, thurs....

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Thanks for that link Pepper. How nice to work for a place like that. I can only imagine what they would say about my place, my something like "How are you all not in a looney bin by now?"

I agree though, try to make it on camera next time, we love ya no matter what!

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Oh and Sukie, congrats to your husband. What a wonderful thing to be recognized for!

 

[pepperw23]

D&DDisney Love the shirt logo..but how are you going to make the smilie eat the chocolate on the shirt?

So Melissa went off with him thinking she was getting married and she gets dumped on the show with no warning? And Molly was stupid enough to say yes? Sometimes I think they plan these things to be different each season.

I don't watch it, but that sounds just plain mean!!!

That's my motto.

Yep, can tell when we clean

I've been saying this for weeks.

Pepperw23 Congrats for your workplace. I was more interested in if they found the library flasher.

Hi MagiKitty My DH loves bread pudding, he'll eat it.

We had a library flasher!!! And I missed him??

Haven't been around much... not a lot of time on my hands. Nothing major, just busy (and poor BL is sick... again... these daycare germs are kicking our butts. DH said he seemed a little better this morning, so keeping my fingers crossed.) Anyway, didn't want to neglect my TKers for too long. Used most of lunch to do the grocery list... Oh the things Moms do to save time!

But, HI! And, I hope everybody's doing o.k. I'll try to check in again soon and see if I can catch up a bit.

awwww, poor BL!! I hope he is feeling better soon. On a positive note, at least he is getting some of these viruses out of the way young.

Hi to everyone!!! DS had a game tonight. He did pretty good. He had a few walks, but no one scored so that is good.

Getting ready to go watch Idol. Very upset that weirdo girl is back on. UGGG. Well, Idol night, you guys know where to find me (Idol Chat thread) That is a good place to work out the "mean" in me ha ha. We fuss about the song choices etc...

 

[M&N]

First, I need to

to Sukie so I don't get in trouble like Pikester.

Oh, one other thing before I sign off. I was thinking we should set up a regular "chat" time once a month where we can all make our best effort to meet up and talk.

Sounds good. Maybe make it like the first whatever day of the month so it's easier to remember.

M&N...I totally love those home organinzing/decorating shows. And anything on the Food Network. But that's where my appreciation ends. I've never been inspired to actually DO anything I see on those shows.

I've always been way more functional in chaos mode. I know where everything is, even if it doesn't appear possible. I love my piles everywhere. I'm not a dirty person, I do clean, but I'm not fanatical about it. There's just so much more to do out there than worry about it!

Does anyone have the Disney Visa? They keep sending me this 5x points email--thing is, I thought I signed up for it weeks ago! I've already put my Florida tickets on there, was hoping for the points. Also am going to put Dad's ticket to the Phils on it, so want those points. I guess I'll just have to call and find out what's going on.

I've decided to keep the Garmin Nuvi 260. Its the model better than BF's. (HA!).

Does that make you a couch-organizer? I haven't gotten that thing lately with the VISA. I thought I signed up for something a while back but never noticed anything different with the points. I guess I didn't buy the right things.

Hmmm, housecleaning... Well, my house is always CLEAN--the housekeeper sees to that. But organized? Let's just say clutter is a BIG part of my life! I just have WAY too much stuff. I try to minimize as much as I can, but it's hard, especially with 2 kids, and a dog who seems to think his job is to take his toys out one by one and leave them all over the house!

It sounds like a lot of us have this same problem with 'stuff'. I guess we could have worse problems.
You probably won't need all the therapy from the pro. You are doing great.

 

[pepperw23]

Suki! congrats to DH!!!

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

I agree pepper I think it is total BS they brought back Tatiana. She is a nut job. They were many others that should have been considered before her. And why are there no phone numbers tonight? So we dont even get a say in who gets the last three spots? SUCKS

 

[M&N]

Pepper, keep us up to date on our fav baseball player. Glad he had a good game. The pitcher does get blamed if things go bad. I say if they could score 2 off me then why couldn't you score 3 off them?

Hugs to BL...poor little one. At least once he gets school age, he should be used to germs.

Hope you have more energy LITC. I subed today and thought I was doing good until I got home and sat down for 20 min...I didn't think I was going to be able to go out to eat. But I made it... Don't know if I'll make it until Racetrack makes an appearance though. She chatted my head off last night and I was trying to go to bed early. I woke up before the alarm this am and that's unusual. I only set it on Sundays and not that early. I guess my mind was in school mode.

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Thanks M&N, I hope I get my pep back also! Not so much today though, I am dragging bad. Tomorrow is going to be such a long day, Gotta work, go to dinner for my mothers birthday, then go right to my other job. So i'll only be on the go for around 15 hours or so. I think I may just have to DVR ER tonight and go to bed.

 

[racetrack18kb]

I heard you talking about me.

Sukie, congrats to DH!!! And a little pixie dust that he feels better soon.

lighttech, it's been such a tough winter. Hoping that BL feels better soon.

pepper, Way to go to your DS.

Hey LITC!

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

There you are Race! It was weird to sign on and you not be here! How are things going?

 

[M&N]

Racetrack---My what big ears you have....

 

[racetrack18kb]

I don't have big ears. I'm just psychic....or was that psycho?

It's tv night here. Survivor and then Hell's Kitchen.

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

You guys like Hell's Kitchen? I think it is kind of sad that, that man is famous for being so crazy mean to people.

But isn't Simon Cowell popular for the same reason?

And he isn't always crazy mean....just when they really mess up.

 

[M&N]

It's tv night here. Survivor and then Hell's Kitchen.

You said it....

You could make a story out of those 2 names.

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Simon is rude, but I've never seen him scream in peoples faces or call someone worthless. Maybe I have just worked in to many restaurants and that dude REALLY scares me!!
