Congrats Lexie!!!! Way to swoop! :banana:

DTD - Weather warning!!! They are really pouring on the prediction of accumulating snow here tomorrow night. You better not dawdle while eating your BBQ. ;)
 
.

Marita..... :blush: 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? :laughing: Is it true they're building a 15 story DVC next to the Contemporary? I'm buying a trailer at Vista Del Lago.

Actually, it WILL cost Disney a lot of money in lost revenue.

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?

You know me so well, Cel :laughing:
Re: smoking on the ship, I read that it is permitted on the Verandah, but I don't know if that is the most current information. But for sure they will designated areas, and they DO have a cigar bar. With drinks! Works for me:)

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

Aww, I love all my imaginary friends too!:grouphug:


hey...is some "one"..going on a cruise? :boat: ..& drinking root
beer floats

LilG, someone may be going on a cruise soon (like a week from TODAY), but the someone I know that is going is NOT going to be drinking root beer floats ! :sick:


MOO HOO to Lexi for the big swoop!!!

In other developments, I don't remember if I mentioned this here, but my DD is going on a 3 week trip to Europe with her BF and his parents, and has been bugging me to stay a week to visit my mother before or after that. Of course with mom's condition, I said I did not know if that was possible, if she would even be back home again (ever), or still have the apartment, even if empty. Plus she is in a hospital in a different town.
I taled it over with my BFF last night, and he said to let her go, they would figure something out when the time comes. It might me her last time to see her Omi.
So I called my brother today. He said mom is unchanged, and sleeps most of the time. He said he doesn't know what is going to happen by then either, or that mom might even still be alive then (which of course scared me to death and now I am thinking of going sooner rather that later just in case). Anyway, he said to let her book the flight, and we would figure it out then.
 
Lexi...thank you for that useful Pollyanna history. Just to clarify TMBBN (to calm Cel's mind re: children's literature and future teachers), 2 of the people who didn't know Pollyanna were male.

Cel...thank you for taking on the role of my personal cheerleader. Hey, someone had to do it!! Also, care to explain the whole pot/kettle/calling black thing? I mean, not to fully explain it, because I've heard it a zillion times, but I don't think I've ever understood it.

BBN...for the record, I will not be calling you godlike anytime soon. Unless that is one of the elements of brainwashing that occurs during the conversion process.

Monica...that was a very Sunnybrook way of looking at being sick! Feel better soon! :sick:

BigL...Do you still feel honored just to be mentioned, or are you going to start expecting something more?

Marita...when I was on the Disney Magic this past June smoking was allowed on this one verandah that led to the adult area, in the cigar bar, and on your own verandah if you have one. Just think where you'll be one week from today! :yay:

Hi to my favorite Twinkessori, Utah, LilG, and DTD!! Think I got everyone.

Research project part 2. Does this mean you finished the one that got eaten?

1. Why is the fact that they are male going to calm my mind? :confused: Male teachers should be just as well versed in children's lit as female teachers.

2. For once, I agree with you. it doesn't make a lot of sense - but I bet Google queen (moo), google princess (lex) or nancy drew will know the answer.

ok.
given that both a pot and a kettle are black, if one of them was like "You are SO black!" it would be kinda silly - cuz they're both black.
So you saying someone is a loser for not getting a cultural reference is silly - cuz you don't get a lot of cultural references.
Now here's my problem with this.
Cast iron turns black with lots of use, which I'm assuming was the pot material of choice back when that phrase was made up -
but I know in my family we've had various older pieces of things like kettles - and they had to be of lighter material - and in my experience, they don't typically turn black.
Maybe kettles back then were made of a thinner iron and thus turned black.

WAIT!
I just had an epiphany!
they cook "kettle corn" in a HUGE cast iron pot.
Maybe THAT's the kettle they are referring to instead of a smaller one used to boil water.
Hmmm.

Ok smart ladies - what's the rest of the story?
(I bet Ms. Pot has NO IDEA who always says that. What a loser. hehehhe.)
 
longest I have been at the computer for a week almost.....YES I am a happy camper.......hubby went and got a bucket of spaghetti with sauce on the side and meatballs and italian bread from Luiggis......delish......even if I didnt eat a lot......I am down almost ten pounds and plan to keep that wicked evil weight off.....you remember the ten pounds that the diabetic educator told me to get rid of.....i am sure she didnt mean by being ill......I am so much better..

Goog Evening!!! Busy but interesting work day for me. We were based at a nature center today and it was fun seeing all the birds coming to the feeders when we weren't out and about.

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. :sad1:

Then I'm going out to the Mexican place with the girlfriends for my birfday celebration. :woohoo:
Lex, I'm sure you know how fast Emily's high school years are going to fly by!

Hope you have a great evening out with your friends :thumbsup2

P.S. NICE SWOOP!

P.P.S. My toe finally seems to be all healed.

Does anyone have Mommy Poppins real life address?

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

We need to rally! :grouphug: < rally smilie
I have MommyP's address too in case bbn can't locate it.

MommyP, hope all is well with the house and move :grouphug:

:yay: ..my lil'nurse friend..is home. she planning on coming back
in a couple of weeks...well, you know how those nurses..are,
:laughing:
Thanks for sharing this goog news, Lil G! :hug:

You'd have to be to let Nicole Kidman get away
Amen to that!!! I think she just finally got tired of his Scientology mumbo jumbo.

Marita, I hope you will consider going soon :grouphug: See your mom while she can still visit with you and appreciate that you came to see her!

And I think your DD will appreciate it too.

The Pot Calling The Kettle Black (to say something about someone else which is actually true of you yourself ...)

GoEnglish_com_ThePotCallingTheKettleBlack.gif


"the pot calling the kettle black" You are the pot calling the kettle black when you point to another person and accuse that person of doing something that you are guilty of doing yourself. Example: "You are accusing me of being lazy? Ha! That's the pot calling the kettle black!"

"The pot" (for cooking) and "the kettle" (for boiling water) sit on the stove over the fire and become black from the flames. Example: "I'm tired of you always wearing my clothing!" Answer: "Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? You're wearing my pants right now!"

The pot and the kettle are like old friends who have turned black with time; the pot only sees the blackness which is on the kettle; he doesn't see the black on himself. Example: "Here comes the guy who is always late for work." Answer: "Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? You are usually the last person to show up!"

Ahem! *tapping foot* Am I not part of everyone? Or were you just going for people who posted earlier today?!!

Seriously, sending pixiedust: for your writing to go smoothly :grouphug:

So glad you're feeling better, Pumba!!!

MOO HOO, getting super close to your trip - only two months away:dance3:
 
Hey, MOO! Glad you had an interesting day.

I started up a new 3-way game for you, Wendy and me. But it may be a while before Wendy takes her turn, since LOST is on tonight.
 
Congrats Lexie!!!! Way to swoop! :banana:

DTD - Weather warning!!! They are really pouring on the prediction of accumulating snow here tomorrow night. You better not dawdle while eating your BBQ. ;)
Leaving in 17 hours. We will probably drive further without stopping to beat the weather. May hit a drive-thru if we gotta eat.

Last edited by lexmelinda : Today at 03:51 PM. Reason: I can't believe DTD didn't get that one!
Once you've had 10,000 them lil numbers just don't mean that much.
yawn.gif

Actually, I just wasn't paying attention. Soooo,
MOO HOOTY LEXY

I'll be in Mobile for the next 6 days, so y'all behave around here. I will read back, so keep the gossip juicy.
 
The kids are finally in bed. And they are officially on Spring Break.

Now we need Spring....:lmao:

They are calling for a major snow storm again tomorrow. The worse one yet this winter coming up from Texas. :sad2:

Only good think about it is that I can stay inside and not have to take the kids to school or run errands.

Pumba-- glad you are getting better. Sounds like hubby is taking good care of you.

Mony-- hope the meds are still working for you. :hug:

Marita-- Your trip coming so fast. Don't think you will have a hard time finding places you can smoke.
 
Goog Evening!!!

Marita, I hope you will consider going soon :grouphug: See your mom while she can still visit with you and appreciate that you came to see her!

And I think your DD will appreciate it too.

Moo, I was just thinking maybe April or May. Probably April, because May starts budget preparations.

My dad passed away just at year end time when I was supervisor of Capital Assets in 1981, the worst possible time to leave my job then. And I just ditched everything and went to his funeral. But I had no clue he was even in the hospital at the time. So I don't want to repeat that. Not to say I wouldnt ditch bugets to go to mom's funeral, but I would like to see her alive first. Gosh, this is a scary subject.

Pumba, glad you are better, and I feel for you about losing your mom :hug:
 
YAY, I have my OWN verandah! :yay: :yay: :yay: Deluxe even, due to free upgrade!

Research project part 2. Does this mean you finished the one that got eaten?
No no no. It means the original (part 1) got eaten so now there has to be a part 2, the re-write.

1. Jeez, you could throw me a coupla extra syllables now and then, couldn't you? :rolleyes:


2. FOCUS, woman! Get it done (again) already!
1. Can I throw you them through smileys? :worship: :hug: :goodvibes
2. Huh? What? Did someone say something? I'm taking a break! I got six pages done.

1. Why is the fact that they are male going to calm my mind? :confused: Male teachers should be just as well versed in children's lit as female teachers.

(I bet Ms. Pot has NO IDEA who always says that. What a loser. hehehhe.)
1. Know what? I honestly have no idea why that was supposed to comfort you. It made sense at the time though, I swear! I think my thought process was that a boy wouldn't read Pollyanna so it would make sense that he didn't get the reference but even if he didn't read it as a child he should have familiarized himself with it as an adult and a future educator of America's youth. Anyone want to get me for that run-on sentence?

2. I think you're over-thinking this, go with moo's answer.

Moo!!!! I thought I got everyone who posted since I last posted this morning. My sincerest apologies, tuxlove ya!
p.s. thanks for continuing my education. I predict I will now use that phrase far too often.
 
I totally missed the fact that the page turned.

They are calling for a major snow storm again tomorrow. The worse one yet this winter coming up from Texas. :sad2:
We're supposed to get 10 inches Friday and Saturday. :scared1: Some schools around here are already cancelled in anticipation of the storm. I could totally go for a paper finishing snow day.

My dad passed away just at year end time when I was supervisor of Capital Assets in 1981, the worst possible time to leave my job then. And I just ditched everything and went to his funeral. But I had no clue he was even in the hospital at the time. So I don't want to repeat that. Not to say I wouldnt ditch bugets to go to mom's funeral, but I would like to see her alive first. Gosh, this is a scary subject.

:hug: :hug: :hug:
It meant so much to me that I got to see my grandma a lot before she died and even say goodbye to her. By the time Hollywood flew home, grandma was only "with us" mentally a few hours. It was like she got to see her last granddaughter and then she let go. That has just broken my sister's heart, she feels like she missed saying goodbye. I think that makes grieving so much harder. Look at me, I'm rambling again! Act surprised.

Pumba....glad you're feeling better.

Wow, good acting surprised, Marita! Now I am very tempted to start rambling about Hollywood and how she's been doing but I am going to break the mold and mooove on.....

I am talking to my friend who works at Chef Mickey's but he grew up in Puerto Rico. He's in Connecticut for the weekend and he's making me laugh because he's never seen snow before and it's blowing his mind! He actually called me because he was embarassed because a friend made a joke about yellow snow and he didn't get it. He wanted me to explain it so he wouldn't have to admit he didn't get it.
:lmao:

It looks like I just accomplished rambling but changed the subject. Does that count for anything?
 
Don't eat yellow snow !!!!

That reminds me of Monster Inc. With the snow cones. :rotfl:
 
Midterm week is OVER!!!!

One glass of wine is poured.

I am feeling so much better.

I'm always up for a 3 way........game of scrabble! I don't care, I can say it, I had pneumonia twice and in the rules, it's says if you have pneumonia twice in one month you can say scrabble all you want.

I felt so bad PJ when I read about having to rewrite that paper. How's it going?

Where's the limo for all these rockstars?

Lost was kinda boring tonight.
