MOOved Along . . .

[PrincessJasmine08]

I go and be productive for all of 5 minutes and this is what y'all come up with???? Just think what would happen if I left you for, oh, say a whole day!

And who doesn't love options?

Clearly Martha Stewart must!

1. WOW. Somebody didn't know a pop culture reference? That must have been so frustrating for you. Glad I never have to deal with such things.

2. What are you two so scared of?!?! Quit fighting it and just give in. It will make the conversion go much more smoothly.

1. I know. I am such a blessing in your life, aren't I?


2. L? You still under the window? I think it's time to come stalk me for awhile...post haste, she's starting to sound dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!1

And tag fairies distort words. HARUMPH!!!

GOOG MORNING!

Another scrape-the-windshield day here. BUT. It's almost Friday!

Tonight is 8th grade recognition at school....you know, it's where they 8th grade players, dancers, cheerleaders walk out on gym floor with their parents to be recognized one last time before they go to high school. So I'll be walking Emily out on the floor tonight.

Then I'm going out to the Mexican place with the girlfriends for my birfday celebration.

RE: the grocery store....I LOVE the grocery store. It's the only place I ever get to go by myself. I linger there if possible.

NAB....Another snow day! NOOOOOO! I wish our schools stayed open even if the buses don't run. I don't know what working parents do that don't have childcare or family around on snow days. Canada is so much more thoughtful.

Marita..... There it is! Not charged for internet at DVC? Welp, that's mighty nice since it wouldn't cost Disney an extra dime and those people are paying like $30K each for a coupla weeks a year! Do they give them toilet paper too or do they have to bring that along? Is it true they're building a 15 story DVC next to the Contemporary? I'm buying a trailer at Vista Del Lago.

BNCG....EEEK! Tom and his evil powers. Oprah looks scared! I know I would be. (Did I tell you my neighbor is Tom's cousin. He can't talk bad about Tom here in the neighborhood.)And..I'm so happy Caleb is doing well. Not complaining?! What a great guy. I have one loud, whiny complainer here that makes up for the suck-it-up kids, then some.

PJ....Get back to work! Srsly....do people not know who Pollyanna is? Grown up people? Did I tell you my daughter is making another attempt to see the body exhibit? The first time the line for tickets was 2 hours long. So her anatomy class is getting tickets for half price and going on a Saturday. Are you going? I'm grossed out that it's reallll bodies.

DTD.....I Google mapped your nieces ice cream parlor and you will be surprised to know it's on South 11th according to google. But now I know where it is! I don't think I've ever been over that way. Back when I usta go to Nashville, we always went over to West End/Vandy area. Thanks for the directions!

Mooo......Hope the toe's better!

Monica.....Hope YOU are better! Poor thing! And on your birthday!

WT....Thanks...I needed that check.

EVERYBODY HAVE A GREAT WARM, SUNNY, SNOW-FREE THURSDAY!

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

GOOG MORNING, SUNSHINES!!!!

We're going to see Robin Hood at the theatre this morning. Should be fun. One little guy raised his hand and said "is this going to be the Robin Hood with the men in tights?" Ummmm.....NOPE!

Lexi...Don't get me started on the bodies. I am very opposed to it for many reasons. That and it's just nasty!
p.s. The other students my age knew who Pollyanna was. It was the "older" people who were clueless.

Have a great day, y'all!

 

[lexmelinda]

The other students my age knew who Pollyanna was. It was the "older" people who were clueless.

I think this is odd since Pollyanna is not a "new" character.

From Wikipedia.....

Pollyanna is a best-selling 1913 novel by Eleanor H. Porter that is now considered a classic of children's literature. The book was such a success that Porter soon produced a sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up (1915). Eleven more Pollyanna sequels, known as "Glad Books", were later published, most of them written by Elizabeth Borton or Harriet Lummis Smith. Further sequels followed, the most recent of which, Pollyanna Plays the Game by Colleen L. Reece, appeared as recently as the mid-1990s.

Pollyanna has been adapted for film several times. The best-known is Disney's 1960 version starring child actress Hayley Mills, who won a special Oscar for the role, and was thereby catapulted to stardom.

"When you look for the bad in mankind expecting to find it, you surely will."—Abraham Lincoln
  (Inscription on Pollyanna's brooch, a gift from her father)

ps....being Pollyanna is a GOOD thing!

 

[celerystalker]

Monica and Pumba - I hope you both are feeling better. I would be scared to hug you, but it's a cyber hug, so it's ok.

1. Marita...enlighten me on the grocery store aversion, please. I don't get it. You hate cooking? Or you hate grocery shopping? Or some combo thereof?

2. Moo...haven't made it to the library yet.

3. About 3 people turned to me and said "Pollyanna???" SERIOUSLY, who doesn't know who Pollyanna is??! Most people knew but those 3 must be losers.

1. I know you skim, but Marita doesn't like ANYTHING unless it involves bum laying, her laptop, a glass of wine and a cigarette. Hehehehe.

Marita - Ack! What are you going to do on the cruise? Do they allow smoking anywhere?

2. GET TO A LIBRARY! WORK ON YOUR REWRITE! YOU ARE GRADUATING, MISSY, EVEN IF I HAVE TO COME UP THERE AND FORCE YOU TO WALK THE LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. OhMyGosh! Pot? It's Kettle. YOU'RE BLACK!

1. In all fairness, Caleb is my clone. He can't help it. He got all the Sunnybrook genes.

2. But why does Jordan aka "Kinky Kitty Kat" even know my celery induced knickname is babycow. Does anybody else find it funny that a 19 yr. old Utahian just knicknamed me "veal"? I can't wrap my brain around this internet stuff.

1. Speaking of Caleb - how old is he? And do you have 4 kids? I ask because my friend Lisa that I carpool with was telling me all about watching Trauma in the ER, so of COURSE I had to tell her of the woes of Caleb this weekend and how they tried to kick you out of the room while they worked on him - and she wanted to know how old he was and how many kids you have. Just to make it fair, she has twin girls - 5 years - Genesis and Destiny.
2. Amazingly enough, I consider you guys closer to me than my "real" friends. I've met Kinky Kitty Kat. To me it's not weird at all that Wendy told Jordan "By the way, Celery calls BBN babycow." I tell people in my real life about you guys all the time (as seen by the Trauma in Mamacan'tfindya story). Of course, since I've met most of you guys, it doesn't seem as weird. Plus my mom stalks all of us, so when I do talk to her, it's inevitably about y'all. Or someone I haven't seen since I was 5. Anyway, the point is, y'all are a huge part of my life.
And I love you!

2. L? You still under the window? I think it's time to come stalk me for awhile...post haste, she's starting to sound dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yes, Big L - go stalk our poor Peej. (And make her do her paper while you're at it!)

So I'll be walking Emily out on the floor tonight.

1. I can NOT believe she is just in 8th grade! Goodness gracious!
2. I went to a gay club this weekend and I was in the women's bathroom and saw a "girl" with Mimi's haircut! I was like "Look! It's a not so pretty mimi!" It was only after talking to this "girl" for 10 minutes that I realized it's a boy. Hehehehehe. It was kinda weird.

1. One little guy raised his hand and said "is this going to be the Robin Hood with the men in tights?"

2. p.s. The other students my age knew who Pollyanna was. It was the "older" people who were clueless.

1. I watched that this weekend. I bet he did too.
2. What do you mean "OLDER?" are they students or not? The sad part to me is they are about to graduate - and are allegedly devoting their lives to the education of our youth, yet they obviously know nothing of children's literature! Very sad, indeed!

BNCG....EEEK! Tom and his evil powers. Oprah looks scared! I know I would be. (Did I tell you my neighbor is Tom's cousin.

Tom Cruise has cousins???? I thought he hatched fully grown out of a space pod that he aliens left. Learn something new everyday here on the DIS.


Have fun with Emily today- I am sooooo thankful that our junior high goes through 9th grade so my baby (the 5ft 7 in one) will not be in high school next year.


BNCG-How is Caleb doing? I know he is a trooper. So far I have two big babies when it comes to being hurt or sick, one trooper and two yet to be determined.
Monica & Pumba - Hope you are feeling better!
WT- thanks for checking in, somehow I pictured you a wee bit more, um, er, masculine but anyways nice picture, thanks for sharing

GOOG MORNING, SUNSHINES!!!!

We're going to see Robin Hood at the theatre this morning. Should be fun. One little guy raised his hand and said "is this going to be the Robin Hood with the men in tights?" Ummmm.....NOPE!

Hahahaha! I love little kids.

 

[babynurse1]

And tag fairies distort words. HARUMPH!!!

That is a true statement. I never said "Space reserved for better than crappy tags" But whatever. The tag fairy obviously has ultimate dis power.

I knew Tom went to high school in Louisville at some point in his life. Wasn't his last name Mapother or something?

Caleb is getting better every day. Thank you.

1. Speaking of Caleb - how old is he? And do you have 4 kids? I ask because my friend Lisa that I carpool with was telling me all about watching Trauma in the ER, so of COURSE I had to tell her of the woes of Caleb this weekend and how they tried to kick you out of the room while they worked on him - and she wanted to know how old he was and how many kids you have

Plus my mom stalks all of us, so when I do talk to her, it's inevitably about y'all.

1. Yes, I have 4 children. ages 14, 13, 9, and 7. Caleb is 13. And just to clarifyTMbbn, Caleb's condition was stable, so it wasn't like I was being diva nurse and demanding that I not leave the room. This doctor was very condescending towards me from the get go. I could go into great detail, but what good would that do? Anyway, there was no WAY I was leaving the room while they stitched him up. If he was in critical condition and they needed the mom out of the room so they could "do their thing", I would have absolutely stepped out. BTW, this was not at the hospital I work at, so I can't explain the doctor's bad attitude. Cuz it's always Sunnybrook at my house and work place, dontchaknow?

2. I just thought it was funny that a teenager I've never met called me "veal". I think the IRL person I have discussed the disboards with at any length is PJ. But she's imaginary too. So that doesn't count.

1. Tom Cruise has cousins???? I thought he hatched fully grown out of a space pod that he aliens left.


2. BNCG-How is Caleb doing? I know he is a trooper. So far I have two big babies when it comes to being hurt or sick, one trooper and two yet to be determined.

1. ha

2. Recovering slowly, but surely. Julia can take pain pretty goog, but she is a drama queen in other areas of her life. I think that comes with the age. The redhead doesn't know the meaning of pain. Ethan wants to play football and ride bulls, so he's a pretty tough cowboy too.

just to clarifyTMbbn, Lisa and I both thought it was an outrage that he didn't want you to stay - cuz Number One - You're a mom. Number Two - You're a nurse. Which is like practically godlike.
Did you tell him/her you are a nurse?

 

[UtahMama]

Does anyone have Mommy Poppins real life address?

Yes, I had it, but now I don't...

She sent me a nice book and I want to send her a "Thank You" but can't understand her writing on the return address of the book's envelope. I dont want to get it wrong.


Please PM me and let me know if you have it.

I hope she's ok!
It's not like her to be MIA for so long.

We need to rally! < rally smilie

You may refer to me as such any time. lol


I had just walked in from work, and went straight to the hospital. I was still in uniform. with my name tag. That reads "Elisabeth, RN" and has my picture on it. I think he knew, but that is only an assumption.

 

[UtahMama]

Thank You BbN!

This time I'll write it down

 

[monymony3471]

The good thing about pneumonia is it totally shrinks your stomach, the coughing tightens your abs, and the meds clean you out!

Skinny like a rock star!!!!!

 

[lalijack]

2. L? You still under the window? I think it's time to come stalk me for awhile...post haste, she's starting to sound dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!1

Still here, LilL. But it does sound like the BBN might be spiraling toward dangerous, doesn't it? Yipes!

RE: the grocery store....I LOVE the grocery store. It's the only place I ever get to go by myself. I linger there if possible.

Melinda, it's not the grocery store I mind, actually. It's the schlepping everything from the minivan to the house and then having to find cabinet and fridge space for all of it. Why can the cupboards be so empty that there's "nothing to eat in this house", but then there's no room to put away the newly bought groceries when you get 'em home?

Anyway, the point is, y'all are a huge part of my life.
And I love you!

Yes, Big L - go stalk our poor Peej. (And make her do her paper while you're at it!)

Cel, tux love and hugs to you too!

I guess I'll get over to Cincy for a bit and stand over LilL's shoulder until she's done. Oh, the responsibilities!

Tom Cruise has cousins???? I thought he hatched fully grown out of a space pod that he aliens left. Learn something new everyday here on the DIS.

Twink, one of Tom Cruise's cousins is an actor. He played the creepy "Other" named Ethan on LOST. His name is Whose-a-ma-whatsis Mapother. See BBN's post quoted below.

1. I knew Tom went to high school in Louisville at some point in his life. Wasn't his last name Mapother or something?

2. Yes, I have 4 children. ages 14, 13, 9, and 7.

1. Ding, ding, ding! BBN wins the useless trivia of the day award! w00t, BBN!

2. ......and 3 horses, half a dozen dogs, a small herd of goats, and a partridge in a pear tree. (Did I miss anything, E?)



Today is my Friday, so I am feeling quite like this:

Have a great afternoon, y'all!

 

[celerystalker]

I wish today was my Friday. I'm really not enjoying my job.
On the plus side, I do have a meeting tomorrow, which means I get to ramble about my job like people actually care!

Woo!

Then be depressed when I realize they really DON'T care.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

OOOOh, I love the pneumonia diet!

Water is drank/drunk/drinked.

Spell-check and grammar-check love me!

 

[celerystalker]

I think i've had my 80 ounces today, but I don't stop until I've had 80 OFFICIAL ounces - they have to be from my water bottle.
So two more bottles to go.
Woo!

 

[DonaldTDuck]

There's a Steven Wright thread that has the following, couldn't help but think of WT.

Ninety-nine percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

Tom Cruise did go to high school in Louisville and was involved in the destruction of a $400,000 home during a party, very similar to the scene from Risky Business. He's always been crazy.(You'd have to be to let Nicole Kidman get away)
Monica I'm skinny like a rock star, sadly, it's Meatloaf.

 

[lexmelinda]

He's always been crazy.(You'd have to be to let Nicole Kidman get away)

What are you tryin to say DTD?

My friend is a Louisville cousin of Tom's but not a Mapother....the other side....the mom's side...the calm, boring side.
