Mixed Nuts

[blue_river]

Hello nutter butters!

Hi Michele!!!! How have YOU been??

 

[blue_river]

I'm here, I'm here, no worries!! I have to tell you though, I really don't recommend the whole getting a life thing. Fake DIS world is a much more pleasant place.

So it is.........

Where is the goofba.......er I mean Rob this morning???

I heard someone utter the word 'cretin' so my ears perked up.

I just had a weird (in my opinion) thing happen. Back Story: We've been doing a lot of work lately for this developer for a commercial park - tenant space designs. In other words: we didn't design the original buildings, but we're designing all of the little tenant shops, offices, restaurants, etc. that fit into the buildings. These guys are a bit younger than me (early- to mid-30s) and they own many, many commercial developments in the region - definitely worth tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars. Needless to say, these are very tough-minded guys - yesterday we were talking about costs of increasing the fire-rating at steel beams (due to some tenant spaces exceeding a certain square footage), bemoaning all the hassles of dealing with the bureaucracy of this certain municipality, etc.

Anyway - I just sent one of them a PDF of one of these tenant designs, and he replied back with a "smiley" in his email! It was just so unexpected I laugh-snorted. I guess it would be sort-of like Donald Trump, in one of his "You're Fired!" moments, suddenly smile and say something like "Group Hug, everybody!"

Liz: sorry about Gram. We've been wondering where you were.

Michele: Hola senorita. How goes it?

PJ: Have fun at the orthodontist with your sister. I'm thinking of the scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where young Wonka's daddy dentist put those horrid braces on his teeth. (have to work in a Deppster reference, dontcha know)

Jean: I would NEVER grace those Universal Boards either.


Blue: Drivers ed. Yikes. Can't wait until my dd is 15.

GoDaddy: Is it hard to laugh-snort when your coughing up your lung?
BTW, I have got the Julia Roberts laugh in "Pretty Woman" down pat. But I only use it on very special occasions. (like when somebody says something really funny. but it has to be truly funny. I don't fake "the laugh")

Fair to middlin'. Downgraded to a dark grey today. By Saturday I should be to my normal, fuschia lung condition.

Is that why you were like one of those Easter Island stone heads when we all met the other day? I just wasn't funny enough - is that what you're sayin'?!?



Congrats on 13,000! I'm only 10,800 (give or take a few) behind you.

(Rob - the secret to maintaining post counts is diversification! - like the stock market... Invest (post) in multiple threads - that way when one does bad (gets poofed by The Powers That Be) you don't lose ALL of them)

You wouldn't be a good trollop if you didn't work in a Deppster reference, dontcha know. She just had to get a new retainer so it was great fun. They put all this gloopy crap in her mouth. It was wIerd.

Did you come up with our theme song yet? I was thinking Here for the Party.

Okay, I realize I'm not the Bluester but I'm going to comment anyway (act surprised). The thrills of teaching someone to drive are never ending. I have been elected to teach my 16 year old sister to drive and I have never had so many near death experiences. She's awful.

WOOOHOO!!! Barn party!!!!!!!!!! There'll be cowboys, right?

Glad the black lung is clearing up, Bradley. Sorry I missed you, Bluester.

 

[GoofyDad869]

Wooo-hoooooo!!

My "Commemorative Collector's Edition" twin-pack of "Flags of our Fathers" & "Letters from Iwo Jima" (with a 5th disc "Heroes of Iwo Jima) came from Walmart.com today!! Movie night at Chateau GoofyDad869 tonight (if I don't have to work late)!! Yes, it's important enough for two(!!) exclamation marks!!

I don't know that you can drink champagne at a barn party. You might need to bring beer.

Or...dare I say it?...

Moonshine.

Oh, I think you do dare! You bring the moonshine and swing by Ohio to get me and we'll see y'all at E's barn. Bradley, you can bring your DVD since that seems to be your idea of a par-tay.

DO NOT GO TOWARD THE BRIGHT LIGHT!
Wear a helmet, a life vest, knee pads--better yet get out of the car & poke it with a stick until yr DSis gets it moving along!

Yes, sympathies to PJ & Blue!

Helpful hint: be sure to visit the bathroom BEFORE the drivng lesson!

My Dad was at Iwo Jima
He just celebrated his 80th birthday on 1 May.

You kinda have to admire the way she took a fashion risk and wore the bathroom curtains paired with the nurses hosiery--such an avant garde touch!
