MOOved Along . . .

[Backstage_Gal]

i have "Brothers and SIsters" on, but in typical fashion, I am paying almost no attention.

I dont want to do another forecast next week, and stick my head in the sand, waaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

 

[NAB]

Marita you need to get a ticker like Moo.

When to do you get to retire?

I just have my household chores to do and take Buddy to the vet tomorrow to see how he is doing after the surgery stuff he had done. I will be glad to go back to regular litter.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Nab, I am already eligible to retire, I made Moo's ticker deadline.
The problem is, it does not pay enough to live on. Another 5 years will double my pension. (last I checked anyway).

Nab, you are lucky to have such a nice life to be with your kids.

this whole forecast thing is a scam. They tell you what they want to hear, and you have to make things fit into it, HA!!!!!!!!!!!! Meanwhile much stress to meet deadlines.....

 

[Minnie_Moo]

I agree with Nab, Marita! You should start a ticker. Even though I have over 4 years, it makes me feel better to see the ticker counting down

Especially since I don't have a Disney trip planned at this time. I tried to talk up a short Disney trip to my sister after the movie tonight. I think we could go right after my daughter's graduation since we'll be halfway to Florida!!! She and her roommate want to go visit friends in Tampa after graduation, which isn't all that far from Disney, but she still hasn't convinced her roommate to join us for the graduation.

I guess we'll just have to wait until we get closer to May to figure out what we're doing. At least I planned ahead enough to get hotel ressies near Chapel Hill back when rooms were still available.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Moo, what site did you use for your ticker? I just tried tickerfactory, but all they seem to have is travel and pregnancy.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

I used ezticker.com. I think it was supposed to show the Web site next to the ticker, but I was somehow able to erase it.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

ok, i think i will look later. Thanks, Moo

My dog managed to survive tonight somehow(despiite my murderish thoughts) , and I think I am going to bed soonishly.

[Sandy321]

I'm still awake - I've been borrowing some photos of the Half Marathon - generic ones I didnt think to take!! muhalo to Jeff from Hawaii who gave me permission!! Only for some reason I'm not getting some of them??? Its taking quite some time to do this!

I watched Rick Steeves PBS travel to Bath, England - made me want to do Tea at the GF again!!

I dont have a trip planned, and I dont want to know how close the wedding is!! I found a song thread for Mother/Son Dance - *sniff, its going to be hard!! Altho, honestly, the boy hasnt really lived here in over a year!! (he went to college thru the summer, and now he and fdil bought a condo) the one that made me sniff "Beautiful Boy" John Lennon - its in the really *sniff Movie "Mr. Holland's Opus" He learns to sign that song to his son.. dh and I both get emotional!

DD keeps waking up - she is having bad dreams! JUST got up sleepwalking only she knocked her humidifier over - what a mess - good thing I had a towel to catch half of that water up!!

 

[monymony3471]

Morning.

Just a quick hello and hope you all have a good day.

Hugs Melinda.

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

GOOG MORNING, SUNSHINES!!!!
I'm not positive, but I think I woke up 117 times last night. Today is my third of four evaluations, so....

I'm just a little nervous because I don't feel like I know these kids well enough yet. At my old school I knew the kids so well that I knew where to have them all sit, who to give the lesson to that would cooperate, etc. so that it would go smoothly and look impressive. Wish me luck!!!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOG MORNING!

Everybody is still asleep here. So I'm typing quietly.

DTD...Glad you found us! Thought of you yesterday as I did the scenic tour of BG. There was an accident on 65 with stand-still traffic...thankfully near the BG exit. I thought I was getting off on Scottsville Rd. and it turned out to be another road. I got on the phone with my dad and was like....where am I? Then I saw the cemetary and knew sorta where I was. Near Grant's? Turned south on 31W and did the stop-light tour. Have not been through BG in a hundred years. At least Riley's Bakery and Murray's looked the same. Rax is now Arby's. Potter's looks the same. And the old mall is still there. And Crescent Bowl. Thanks for the

Marita....We're all about donations at church but Glad you survived the dog. Or should I say "glad the dog survived"?

Sandy....I don't even want to THINK about my DS's wedding.

NAB....I'm pretty sure Marita would feed us all frozen pizza! Right Marita?

OK....I'm outty. Gotta get in the shower before the kiddos wake up and the stampede begins.

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Now he's OUT again. watch, 2 minutes, barking will ensue to be let IN again! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is it with dogs? My two will play that game, one in, one out, both want out, then back in.....Drives me nuts!

Note to self .... Don't eat stew at Marita's house.

Marita my sister is still complaining that it is cold there. She is staying at CBR and says they have to take the bus to go get drinks. They did this and for some reason the bus driver didn't stop there and they went to Epcot. It is funny to me but I am sure not to them.

That is so Sure hope they weren't in their PJ's.

I agree with Nab, Marita! You should start a ticker. Even though I have over 4 years, it makes me feel better to see the ticker counting down

All this talk of retirement reminds me that my mom is retiring on Thursday. She will be 70 in June. She is soooooo ready. She is just so tired. She works 10 hour days M,T,TH & F, just so she can have Wed. off.

Note to self: Need to get a retirement card in the mail.

I'm just a little nervous because I don't feel like I know these kids well enough yet. At my old school I knew the kids so well that I knew where to have them all sit, who to give the lesson to that would cooperate, etc. so that it would go smoothly and look impressive. Wish me luck!!!

Good luck today PJ! I'll be thinking about you!

OK....I'm outty. Gotta get in the shower before the kiddos wake up and the stampede begins.

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE!

I'll be thinking of you and your family today Melinda!

 

[Sandy321]

Good Luck PJ - it all will work out - just bring you sunshiney personality, your can do spirit - and have fun!!

Melinda, Monica... and anyone else that needs them!!



Must conquer the laundry monster!!

 

[NAB]

Morning All,

Lexi-- Thinking about you today too.

P.J.-- You will do great!! When does school ever go smoothly. Have fun.

Sandy-- The laundry monster was at my house yesterday. Sorry for sending him that way.... I used to talk in my sleep and sleep walk. Even walked out the front door. That when my mom left leave the door open for my older brothers to come in at night, could do that back then. After that they locked all the doors.

No laundry today but have to get Buddy to the vet and hubby said he was coming home at noon. He as a test tomorrow and they are testing some people today and he can't study there. There goes my schedule, better go vacuum now.

 

[UtahMama]

The beloved President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Gordon B. Hinkley, passed away last night of "old age". It's the ONLY story on the news besides weather. In a way I'm happy for him because his wife died in 2004 and we believe them to be together again...they were so cute together. I know there's a couple LDS besides me, and I don't know if this news has made it nation wide yet. But, he will definitely be missed. He was a good man to say the least.

AND


The Bishop of my ward (like a Pastor or Reverend) has bone and blood cancer.



It is WINDY here today. Like knock you over hurricane wind. Sheeeesh! I just went out to take out the trash and my core temperature dropped to 30 degrees and I got frost bite on 8 fingers and a couple ears! BRRRRRR! Now I can't get warm


Hugs to Melinda!!!!!

and LUCK and Courage to Peej

 

[celerystalker]

Alright. I am officially assuming that Tammy is no longer reading, especially since we changed threads.
So I'm going to post like I want to.
Here's an update on me:
1. Still no internet access at home.
2. I walk to my mom's some for food and internet access, but I can't concentrate enough down there to keep up with all the threads plus school too.
3. My pipes froze Friday, so I didn't go to work (and thus, had no internet access).
4. I really like the bread man. He went with me to a church function at my lesbian pastor's house and got to meet our new gender identity disorder (transsexual, but she doesn't like that term) intern.
She's in her mid 50's and was a male southern baptist minister up until 8 years ago.
Her and her spouse of 38 years are both incredibily interesting to talk to.
Anyway, Bill (the bread man) took it all in stride and got a long with everyone.
Then afterwards, he met Ben. That went well too.
I REALLY like this guy, but he doesn't want a serious exclusive relationship. And I didn't think I did either til I met him.
Oh well.
I'm just rolling with it. We're currently spending at least three nights a week together.
5. I'm drinking in moderation when I'm with Bill.

Yes, I did read ALL THE ONE BILLION POSTS ON THIS NEW THREAD! Geez!
Here's what I have to say in response:
Hi lil g! Love the pic!
Hi DTD - why IS donald always left out?
hi mommyp - your baby is BEAUTIFUL! and so are you! and so is your house! and don't worry about your steenkin sister. You live your life and be happy. and glad you got to go to the melting pot. One of my favorites!

Lex - Your grandfather was a very handsome man.
Come see me since you're so close! (just kidding)

see we are still a GROUP even if it isnt a hundred million posts......we are what we are ....friends and GOOG friends

hello ......

I agree with you .......the group here are the best around....great interaction, great friendship, great help givers, great support system.......what more can we ask for..
I can tell you 103 days till disney.....

Marie! You're such a softie! And I think I'll be at disney the same time as you. I'm planning on being there May 2-11. It's not set in stone yet though.

BUT, since WT hasn't graced our presence on the temp thread, I don't see why we should refrain from mentioning it

Even if he DOES grace us (Hi WT!!!), this isn't HIS thread! He can't dictate what we do!

No stew for me!!!!!!!

You sure do talk about beef stew a lot. I'm going to have garden grocer deliver the stuff for you!
And how DARE you not try guitar hero and dance dance revolution!
You should've just out of love for me!

This IS a good group!!!! Seriously the best! NICE not having High Schollish drama or back biting etc. I fully trust and love all the regulars on this thread

Hehehehehe. I wanna bite everyone's back now!!! (these are my biting smilies!)

"Hello sandy?"

"yes"

"Hello, Sandy, this Is Maria from WDW"

"Marita? From Meeps?"

"um, no, I'm Maria from Disneyworld calling about your email"

So what did Marita say?

I am thinking about getting my eyelashes tinted.* Thoughts?

If you do it, I want to see before and after close ups.

Does anyone have a dartgun to calm down a dog for a few hours?????????? He has been a pain in the astarstat all day long!

Both of my dogs were too -
little man (my brother's dog) kept running into the woods and barking, then running to my porch and barking, then running to my mom's porch and barking. I have NO IDEA what was in the woods, but he was trying to tell us something. Poor Riley would freak out and bark then hide next to me.

Marita my sister is still complaining that it is cold there. She is staying at CBR and says they have to take the bus to go get drinks. They did this and for some reason the bus driver didn't stop there and they went to Epcot. It is funny to me but I am sure not to them.

It makes me laugh too!

Hi to everyone else!
(this means twinkie and WT too)

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

where's everybody..taking the day off?

..thanks, c~girl...,

middle one...had to learn the lesson..the hard way. we were lucky..the
car...was our accord..& it..."jumped"/made it across...the revine...that
was 30' deep... / he then took out a half dozen fence posts...
bending the car frame...& that was with us restricting...his route -
just to & from school! . i know parents want the "best" for
their children...but for all the interventions...i used here...iam loss on
what parents ..can do, in making teenagers..aware..how easy death
can happen...esp. cars, drugs, and etoh.

i wish..the news...wouldn't show..what was left...of the car...

....these story make me feel so sad..for the families...i know my children
..are a major part..of my future~ hopes & dreams....

while its a diaster created from a lack of understanding...verbalizations
just doesn't produced the results...* the patrol offcer..decided not to

act!!! . death, there are no immunity...

fyi, trip reports.. , i can't tell how much...enjoyment..reading
how much you all put "in" doing your disney vacations. * i think i have
gotten so much more ...out of ours....by watching out ....for people
following your examples. ..the teachers..of getting the most
out of wdw are here.

oh, thanks..c~girl, for giving us an update... utahm., iam sorry about
the illness...so close, but i also know having you as a friend...is a comfort
..and stength....to overcome such a challenge.

oh, thanks..for putting up..with my job corks..."we", my co-workers...used
to ignored...the public....but , every day....we find the needs are increasing
for the general population...esp. , dangerous behaviors & promoting health
issues. [ i wonder sometimes..how our "work"..effecting your ..nerves?

]. just..a tip..., the one type of "need" we are having the least
effect...is rx. drugs! i can't tell how frustrated...we are...seeing it over
& over...where drs...have ruint..lives....* we need govern't restrictions!
ps, these are the most likely to "act out"....so..what happens when they
are in the community? [ they make the news..not good].

you do..encouraging others..to write..their reports..your encouragments..

Celery Stay STRONG - Just keep on livin your Best Life for today -

Thanks for the recaps - its a goog thing!!

oh, and I ended up talking to the CM for maybe 15 min just chatting... she hoped I had the name of the server (and I do, I just cant remember where - I thought I put it with the passporter, but I remembered it was in a teeny notebook! ) She talked about cheering for the Marathons, and hoping to run in one - and I vented about not having medals and not getting an official time... and she again gave me the email to include it in writing!! I really want CM Isabelle at BCV to get a commendation for going out of the way for me!! (Finding out where, when, and why about the medals!!)

Laundry monster is defeated - but the bed needs to be made!!!

OMGosh! It is snowing here ! I can't even see across the street. You can't tell the street, from the curb, from the grass...STILL not a snow day, people! I have 2 steps going down from my front porch and you can't tell where they are....

Wait, on the news they announced ONE Jr. High is closing due to a power outage and plummeting indoor temperatures.
