Marrieds choosing not to have kids

[maddhatir]

After I wrote that I realized how bragging that sounded!!

OMG- I would never think you were bragging!

You should be proud of your accomplishments!

What's everyone up to this weekend? We are getting yet another round of snow, so I'm going to curl up with a bottle of wine and watch "Mr Bean's Holiday". Hope everyone has a great weekend!

... I'm going to curl up with a bottle of wine and watch "Mr Bean's Holiday"...

Ugh... HUGE fan of Mr Bean here but that movie was AWFUL imho. I hope you like it better than I did.

We'll be hiding from the hordes of families flocking to our downtown neighborhood for the St Patrick's Day parade. Our big entertainment will be to go out on our balcony and watch everyone react to their parking tickets afterward! "How DARE they ticket us for parking all day in a 2-hour spot/in front of this fire hydrant/wheelchair ramp? We were taking our kids to the PARADE!" Even at 11 stories up we can make out their reactions, and we provide our own dialogue. It's a bit like MST3K

Oh no! I hope everything turns out well for you with no damage or injuries!!

I love the Mr. Bean series but wasn't crazy over the first movie either. In all honesty I don't hold out much hope for the second one, but stubborn person that I am rented it anyway.
I love MST3K and have bought several of the episodes because I miss the series so much. I find myself doing dialogue MST3K-style thru out alot of movies now, which doesn;t exactly thrill DH. My favorite thing to do is "translate" while he is watching "Tora, Tora, Tora". The movie takes on a whole new meaning when I get start in. I do get him laughing though...even though he hates to let me see him crack up when I say stuff like "I would like a cheeseburgers with pink sprinkles"

Hiding from tornadoes.

I'm originally from just south of Atlanta and a great deal of my friends now live, work, and of course, play downtown. The news says that theres no fatalities, but looking at some of those homes and lofts...and all the falling glass...it's hard to imagine that only 30 people were injured.

I may not be there, but I'm freaking out with you!!!

Hope you are OK!

DH and I went to watch my niece and nephew (6 and 3) do and Easter Egg hunt. OMG- there were 100s of parents and kids- it way crazy. Of course, I was just there to see those 2- Well actually it was not even a HUNT- they had all the eggs laying in the middle of a few different fields- they had broken the kids up into age groups. They had all the kids go onto the field and make a circle around the eggs and then they just ran to pick them up- not very challenging if you ask me

I just gave my niece some advice on how to get more eggs (go pass all the kids and go right for the middle first - it worked- she was the only one in the middle for a while scooping up eggs ) and I then moved myself away from the situation and sat up on the bleachers.

Way too much anxiety for me!

 

[bumb7ebee]

Sounds like a good plan at times - one of my bosses has no kids and he and his wife seem to have a wonderful life with great holidays and total freedom to do what they want, when they want.

It's all about priorities.

Just checking in to let you guys know that I'm fine, fortunately. Sky is clear and blue today.

Glad to know everything is ok. We live in part of tornado alley too. Our season usually starts in April around here.

I was in a tornado when I was in 1st grade. It took the roof off our elementary school and leveled most of the homes near the school. We were off school for around 3 weeks while they repaired the damage. My parents home had some roof damage and our big elm tree ended up being uprooted and laying across the street up to our neighbors front door. My father was at work at McDonnell Douglas at the airport at the time and watched it go towards our subdivision. My mother had already dragged us to the basement. I have been close enough to see 3 tornadoes since then.

You were right...we didn't make it through 30 minutes of the movie before I say "enough's enough!" What a shame......

 

[WDWguru]

At least you only wasted 30 minutes. I was on a plane and out of desperation watched the whole darn thing!

Oh, do I feel for you!! I'm surprised it didn't put you to sleep! I was running it in fast forward because there wasn't any dialogue really. The only part that had me laughing was when he was dancing to get money. It was all downhill from there (JMO).

 

[Aunt Michelle]

Just a little Irish for you today...

An Old Irish Blessing
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

Happy St Patrick's Day to you Aunt Michelle and all the rest here! I have corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot and guess what the house smells like? (It isn't fragrant i can tell you that much! )

 

[Hixski]

We are going to get our corned beef and cabbage from our favorite neighborhood bar and grill. It's a tradition. I don't think we have missed but maybe a year or two in 20 yrs. We are heading out in about an hour or so. Hopefully there won't be too many drunks yet. There shouldn't be any screaming toddlers either. We will leave long before the idiot drunks get going.

Happy St. Patricks Day Everyone!!

 

[Liisa]

Knock, Knock, Knock.... Helloooooo? Where did everyone go? Too much ale for St Patty's??

My Khabo had his ortho appt last night. Knee surgery scheduled for
April 2nd. Poor little guy. But I love the ortho vet. Real nice guy (most of the vet specialists we have to deal with have been ego jerks). Not this guy. And he does over 200 knee surgeries a year - so to him, it's routine. Makes me feel confident that Khabo will get fixed.

Kirklandtutu - get back over to your trip report - that is what I've been reading on my lunch break, so you need to keep it going!

 

[maddhatir]

I am still here! Seems like a lot of people kind of "scattered" after the "invasion".

Not much going on in my part of the country. Just working and not much else.

Didn't do anything on St Patty's day. It's not my idea of a fun time to try and squeeze into a bar with 1000s of drunk people to drink green beer. I would probably have to hurt someone!

DH works down the street from an Irish pub- on the way home on St Patty's Day he said there was a line just to get in! They had to wait until some people came out for more to go in! No thanks!

That is great that Khabo is getting surgery and hopefully will be fixed!

 

[Hixski]

I survived St. Patricks Day!!! We were home long before the idiot drunks were in full force. We never drink the green beer. It just turns your teeth and lips a funky greenish color. Pirate looking teeth only look like they belong on pirates.

I think some folks are still afraid of our thread. They think we are going to go all militant CF or something.

 

[zima-cheryl]

Still here - sulking about the crappy weather, but still here. I'm soooo ready for spring & some nice, sunny, warm days!

Liisa - good news about Khabo. Having a good vet is half the battle. I'll have my fingers crossed that surgery goes well.

If I may revert back to the hockey topic for just a moment- I like the Sweedish Twins spot better, but this is pretty cute too.
