A Woman's Prayer
DEAR LORD: SO FAR TODAY, I AM DOING ALL RIGHT. I HAVE NOT GOSSIPED, LOST MY TEMPER, BEEN GREEDY, GRUMPY, NASTY, SELFISH OR SELF INDULGENT. I HAVE NOT WHINED, CURSED OR EATEN ANY CHOCOLATE. HOWEVER, I AM GOING TO GET OUT OF BED IN A FEW MINUTES AND I WILL NEED A LOT MORE HELP AFTER THAT.
AMEN.

JoAnn Weeeeeelllll......I want to come out the Friday-Sunday of Thanksgiving, but right now the airfares are ridiculous! Of course, it's the busiest travel weekend of the year. I want to share a room if someone wants to do that to reduce the cost as well. I would love to stay in the city as well. Anyone with any ideas??? I need to work on kid coverage because with my mom in retail, she is not going to get that weekend off!!

Also, ask your daughter if she is willing to rent us a "spot on her floor" of her apartment if the Bengals make it to the Super Bowl this year. It's in Miami!! Mark and I will need somewhere to stay if they are there! It's wishing, I know!

 

[jlawall]

OMG, SUPER BOWL PARTY!!!! !! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!
Let's go even if none of our teams make it (Anyone see the Eagles game! )

Let me know for sure, Jenny about Thxgiving so we can get the room. I'll look around and see what's open! Who's in?

GL Kath, with the scans and traveling! We have a lot of weekend trips, too, now that Jess joined this new soccer team........we're going to DC, NJ, NY, DE, NC & FL between now and New Year's! It should be fun!

BW to DEb, hi to Lynn, where is DisDaddy???

 

[Albill]

For goodness sake Joanski,stop whinng about your oldest DD ,my favorite drinking buddy, is heading out ..........you got what you wanted....she's outta here
All I can say is BUMMER We miss her already Give her ahug for us And make sure she has plenty of plastic, to comfort herself....
About this FF ! If the guy is hurt, you got's to get him in the inactive status,or drop him..... Look at the available players,select the one who is prettiest,or cute and activate him....I think you had 3 guy's hurt...they can't score points if they are not playing........ Listen to me ,look at my record zero wins... the few point scorers I had are both injured.(T.O. and some drunk).... I got a burned out Q-back,and it appears the rest of the team the same caliber players.... Actually ,I'm saving my trump card for the game with The Brit's,she keeps changing names but I'll get 'er......BTW when do I play the Brit's....

I just got a few minutes to catch up on 2 weeks worth of posts.

Kathy - Sorry to hear about your friends mom. My dad and Micco's grandfather both died from Alzheimer's, it is a horrible disease. Oh, with FF, 2 weeks ago, I tried to pick up Chad Pennington as my backup, but Ted beat me to the punch. Tell him I was very mad! I see he is obsessed!

Lynn - Congrats Granny (and grandpa too), the baby is precious. Having fun with FF, when you go to the website, just find where it says rules, and it will give you all the point information. I hope this helps.

JoAnn - Sorry to hear about Ken's brother, please know that he you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Jenny - Glad to hear you are feeling better and that my friend Jose has been keeping you company! That was Firemen Ed (Anzalone) you saw in the stands, he is the originator and leader of the J-E-T-S cheer! He gets on top of his brother-in-law's back! And the whole stadium goes nuts. Not a good game for us Sunday, but this is a rebuilding year and I have faith in Mangini, he comes from the school of Belicheck (who I really don't care for, but he is a great coach).

Lucy - MED MED MED!!!!! Forget those little vacations come with us on a journey!!!!

Anyway, things are coming along here, I am trying to open for next Monday. The flooring is done, the slatwall is up, I am totally moved out of the old store. Painting is almost done. I have been unpacking for the past 2 days, but there is so much more to do, and I am emotionally and physically wiped out. Micco and I are going up to wine country with our cousins Annmarie and Fred this w/e, and meeting up some friends from college. A much needed 2 days off!

I will post again as soon as I can, just wanted to let you know that we are ok.

Debi

 

[LynnTarrant]

Ok Bill but you nicked the Tight End I wanted off of waivers !!!!
I get the whole don't play em if they're injured honest but i wasn't sure who to play...My defense is rubbish I wanted the Chargers but tedskins pinched them on waiver still I did change....now while we're talking FF Kathy tell that husband of yours GAME ON!!

BTW Kathy I haven't forgotton you want the tourguides sites I just haven't been in the right place at the right time
This is whom I'm using for Naples www.francescomarrapese.com
I'm using Sylvie email sylvie.di.cristo@wanadoo.fr in Villefranche, but I tried thes people first http://www.revelation-tours.com/cruise.html They sounded really good to me.

Who are you using for Rome and Florence and what are your plans for Marseilles, Olbia and Palermo?

I think today was the moving day for Debi, i hope everything went great...
ok gotta get back to the pitch I'm in serious training now for my weekend fixture against the Tedskins!!!

 

[LynnTarrant]

Lucy I don't know that women honest she is such a football bore who let her loose on our lovely thread

 

[LynnTarrant]

Ok Bill i checked out the schedule you and me front up in week 10 that's after NYC so we can still be civil to each other then but afterwards I'm afraid your thanksgiving could be marred by a British Victory!!!

 

[LynnTarrant]

I'm really sorry everyone i probably should have let you know before I joined your game I'm a little bit competitive

Go Crazy Cruisers

Do ya know I'll have to work on a cheerfor my Blokes!!

If you haven't realised yet i'm bored is anyone out there!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jlawall]

Ok, Lynn, ENOUGH!I live here and I have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO?!! But be afraid everyone, I just got tutored by Tara's BF, and we moved some players around AND I GAVE HIM MY PW AND HE IS NOW MY FF MANAGER!! Watch out, Ted, John, Lynn and Deb's clan, WHO'S YOUR DADDY, competive, comshledative, I'll show you guys...................

Just a few more days until Tara goes, so far, she hasn't packed anything but she made a "list." I did tell her about how we're all going to visit her for the SB game (did I mention it's a one-bedroom apartment?) There's a sofabed so only the first two who write in will get a spot.......knowing Lynn, the FF queen, she'll probably call the game, lay bets and WIN!! Seriously, do we want to plan this rendevous...................DIS reunion IV????

Lynn, I'm sorry, I hope you forgive me..................

Hi, DAD!

 

[LynnTarrant]

No fair I need a manager.. haven't you got other daughter's boyfriends waiting in the wings to be loaned out

no offensive taken..i'll save it for the pitch

 

[LynnTarrant]

Where's everyone??
Lucy this is unheard of come and talk to me...check in so I know you are ok.
4 weeks tomorrow!!! Not that I'm counting you understand.

 

[jlawall]

Sorry Lynn, I don't know what came over me.............I'm alittle competitive, I'll admit it!

Anyway, I agree, WHERE IS LOOSEY, HECK we can't do this w/o Looosey!!!

Btw all, I HAVE THE BEST PIX OF everyone at the WDW reunion, their prints, so I guess I'll have to make a CD and send them out, really great memories, thx to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jlawall]

Hi, it's me, JoAnn, I'm the only one left, I guess, that's it then, I started this thread, I'll finish it..................well, anyway, thx for the memories..........................looster, debster, jenster, lynnster, kathster, momster, dadster.............have i missed anyone???

 

[jfis1020]

Get a grip...........I'm here! It's pouring and we left during a rain delay. It's the last homestand weekend for the Reds I'm always so sad when baseball is over.

I'll check in tomorrow!

 

[jfis1020]

that just ticks me off!



JoAnn ~ We had state testing this week. I hate fall testing. It's the dumbest thing I have ever heard of, next to the thought of testing in general!! So, we test and they tell us what the kids need work on; however we don't get the results until January when the year is half over. I've long figured most of them out already. I don't need their expensive tests to tell me! We spend the first 5 weeks of school getting them ready, which means neglecting our curriculum to some degree. Then when the first report card comes out, it's really not a true indicator because it's really not all 4th grade curriculum.......go figure!

Debi ~ How's the store going? I can't wait to see it sometime! I am so happy that you got out of that other place! Obviously given the circumstances, you need a fresh start and the new building will be a nice touch!

Lucy ~ Where are you?????

Lynn ~ You are cracking me up!!!! I really think that given your new enthusiasm for FF, you need to take a side trip to Jacksonville or Tampa Bay for a REAL football game!!!! Usually Tampa Bay is an easy ticket to get. We are making our first football trip to Tampa Bay, but have been there many times to see the Yankees spring training baseball which is right next to the stadium. Jacksonville is a great city to see too and I loved the beach there!

Kathy ~ I cannot believe we will be so close and can't get together the 13th! Our plane doesn't get into Tampa until around 6 p.m. We got $130 ROUND TRIP so flying into Tampa was a no brainer!!!!! Really guys if you are going down there, even Mr. Jack (our towncar guy) will tell you to check Tampa's airfare rates!

I rented us a little convertable to "cruise in" while at WDW! Must be a midlife crisis!! It's just Mark and I so we will have fun doing "big people" things. We definitely plan to take in Pleasure Island! The last time we went I was pregnant with Mallory.....that was fun......NOT!!! We are only there the one night, unless I get my way and we return on Sunday But, it's amazing how much you can do when you aren't dragging M&M around!!

Bill ~ Isn't it funny how they wanted to fire your Phillies coach in May and now he like "such a great coach"??? That Howard kid is amazing. I saw where he got #58 last night. He's got the sweetest swing. He hits like Bonds, but thankfully he isn't the a$# that Bonds is!

Enjoy the last week of "summer"! I HATE WINTER!! So, I will enjoy fall while I can!

 

[LynnTarrant]

I'm still here too!!!

Joann,Debi, Lucy and Bill I just found out that ther's a big world of Disney on 5th Ave and they are doing Villian meet and greets the Saturday we are in town do you think it would be fun to go and get a group photo apparently we can use photopass and then we could add it to our CD when down there and e mail you all copies!!

What do you think?

I'm a little concerned about Lucy she's never usually this quiet does anyone know whats up!

Debs' probably busy moving and Kathy is doing her theroid thing right.

Jenny I'm sure glad the baseball season is over too don't understand any of that chat now we might be able to talk about something useful ....like FF for instance
I just re read that i hope you know I'm joking it's the english sense of humour

I know you are! I didn't tell you, but my great grandmother was from Liverpool, so I truly understand English humor. She was a stitch! I loved visiting her when I was a kid just because of her sense of humor. Also, John has now decided he wants to come and visit you and Keith! He thinks I will just put him on a plane and wave good-bye!! I wouldn't worry about him with you guys, it's the inbetween stuff!!!

As far as FF, I have enjoyed learning the ins and outs from John. It gives us a common interest (which is hard in the tween/teen years). He is constantly telling me all about the statistics, which is his strength. Last night he was talking to me about all our "power ratings". Whatever!!!

 

[lwilliam]

You will be SO sorry for being concerned about LOOOOSEY....I'll be chatting all weekend.
Don't quit this thread, Ms. JoAnnnneie...I've had a rough week, and didn't want to 'whine' and 'cry' to my friends

Tyler is away this weekend, and sadly it is raining for him, at a church retreat (beginning of confirmation for him), they were going to bike today, have a campfire tonight...at least we aren't having Jenny's weather, that would really worry me - BTW - Jenny, everything ok? It's 9:15 and I'm gonna pick up my cell phone soon to see that you and/or your mom are ok - so many tornadoes in your area.

We've had high school issues all week, not very good ones, and I'm not gonna cry on your shoulders - I'm TRYING to think of happy things.
Deb's move - wishing you success Deb. Kathy and Jenny's trip coming up soon - wishing you a great time. Lynn - knowing more about football, than this American, wishing you good luck. Bill? just wishing he'd come back.

OF COURSE, Lynn, we MUST go to the Disney store - in fact, there haven't been too many trips that Bob and I HAVEN'T visited the Disney store. Would it surprise you that I would pick THAT store over Gucci or Cartier or Saks?????

JoAN: when I can remember, I'll e-mail you the price of the tickets - we'll bring them to NY in a few weeks - well, now THAT cheered me up - NY with my friends, in a couple of weeks

And, another thing I'm totally looking forward to - we will be in Williamsburg (and Kathy unfortunately won't be home, which is another thing that makes me sad) when the Disney Wonder is in drydock - guess where we are going to travel to?

 

[Albill]

Well..... it seems these summers roaooorrrrrr by...Fall is nice and sometime welcome after a hot summer....But I to hate winter...!!
Jennyski... that Howard is really something else... I can't believe how He comes up to the plate and smackes these HR's... there hasn't been anyone so consistant in the last 20+ years...(Pete Rose) I actually leap out of the chair when he hits 'em..unbelievable...he's keeping them in the race...The coach doesn't lite any fires for me...!! but also ,the pitching has improved 100%,the pitching staff has problems but they seem to be more concintrated that earilier(Now you BB sports fans feel free to take notes) the last I looked your Reds seemed to be wavering,@#$#@ I was hoping to see you guys during the playoff's...You can stay at JOANNSYI's, she has a bunch of empty
rooms
Lets see,What is Lynn's team (hampsters's ,Dumpster's)...oh well,My Speagles will crush, smash,mutilate those guys .... I love the game...Hey, where the hell is louski...golly, I miss that girl
