sorry....but Stephen King WAS in fact born in maine but spent a few years in Indiana
about the man

Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947, the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his parents separated when Stephen was a toddler, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of the elderly couple. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support.

Good lordy I hate to tell someone they are wrong.....but I dont really like Kings books anymore......had quite a few of them and only liked his early ones....the others are not with my reading program......Now if you want to read some good ones.......Try Lincoln Child and Douglas Prestons books....they co author them.....well most of them.....The Relic is great starter book.......

Cold this morning and sun is out....it poured yesterday hard so alot of the snow and ground is ICEEEEEEEE.....I hate winter...but you all know that....hahaha.

Good morning all! Sorry it has been so long since I've been on. Living with my best friend and her family has it's advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is getting online. I solved this problem by ordering my own computer through Dell. So, now instead of reading books, I can do both. Dis and read books.

Truthfully, this will help me out a lot with work. Now I can really work at home and get away from spending late hours with that pesky co-worker. *sigh* I love her to death, but dang she's annoying!

I'm living right in Nashvegas now. Only have a 10 minute commute to work (unless I'm visiting my clients).

My biggest strength is also a weakness. I love to meet people. I just hate to do it where there's more than three and it's in a noisy surrounding. And I HATE to be "forewarned" not to act grumpy. That is a guarantee that I'm not going to make a good first impression. And I HATE to be around people who mistreat others. (Funny how I get myself in relationships with these kinds of people though.)

Anyway, Anthony's had enough time to get ready for school--so I'm going to go hit the shower. Be back later!

Hey--did Mommy P have her baby? And did everything go okay????

 

[lexmelinda]

First, of all James Dean is the KING OF COOL, so he pretty much trumps anybody y'all got. AND AND AND Steve McQueen is from Indiana too. Hello? We all know Steve McQueen personifies coolness.

I agree that those guys were the coolest. But. Again I say.....they're dead! Do you guys having anybody alive that's really cool?

I have just two words for you....

CLOONEY. DEPP.

I rest my case.

1. I agree that those guys were the coolest. But. Again I say.....they're dead! Do you guys having anybody alive that's really cool?

I have just two words for you....

CLOONEY. DEPP.

I rest my case.

1. Me?

2. yeah, yeah, Clooney. Depp. *yawn* They still can't hold a candle to Dean and McQueen. See, they TRANSCEND death.


Pumba: I stand "resurrected". Thanks for the Stephen King info. I was trying to sneak one past y'all, but you guys rock.



**MommyP did have her baby on Dec. 31st. Isaac Thomas. He's a cutie.

What not to say to me if we're ever married. Part 84,617,671,885:

The set up:

Feeling exasperated like I'm nagging the crap out of my kids to do the least little bit of chores or getting ready for school, I hug DH with the comment, "Gads, I feel like SUCH a Witch (with a B) some mornings!"


What NOT to say:

"Yeah, MY mother would NEVER have said such stuff to us growing up..."



My Response (after only wanting sympathy and NOT any helpful comments)

"WELL? MAYBE SHE SHOULD HAVE THEN MAYBE MORE THAN 1 OUT OF 7 KIDS WOULD HAVE GROWN UP TO BE A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY????!"

Which I didn't say out loud but thunk it, with an eye roll.





And Good Morning To All Of You Today!

Off to overpriced preschool headquarters to pay the overpriced fees for February.

And Walmart for milk and prolly $100.oo worth of non-milk.

They are reporting 10 inches of snow here tonight.

In the last 2 days the rain washed away any we had left.

WHAT TO SAY:

Huh? (This one syllable (grunted) puts the ball back in HER court. She is now faced with the option of repeating an unpleasantness about herself (admitting that she is indeed a "Witch" (always enjoyable for the sadistic dh)) which, by the way, she KNOWS you heard distinctly the first time OR shutting up and saying NEVERMIND!!!) While shutting up is very rarely viewed as the optimum response by the wife genus, in almost ALL cases she will go with it and you are spared the untenable position of having to answer the equivalent of "Do you STILL beat your wife?". Problem solved.

A less desirable option would be to simply say "Oh?". The truly sadistic dh might enjoy listening to HER tick off the reasons she believes she is a "Witch". (and silently agreeing) However, in ALL cases the explanation will be with such a "spin" attached all the joy for the sadist will be removed. The much better alternative is clearly "Huh?".

NOW I know exactly how to respond to a "Huh?".

DEAL! When can WE swap.....heh.



The appropriate response should have been zero. OR a detailed list of all the good-mom things I do...which is HUGE. OR, even better, "You seem overwelmed, babe. Here, go soak i a niiiice bubble bath, I'll get you a fresh cold soda, and I'll get those naughty boys ready for school. Really, you do WAYYYYY too much for us. Take a little break. OH, I forgot to mention how skinny you look lately.... your hard work is really showing! Don't worry about doing the breakfast dishes or feeding the dogs, it's ALL taken care of..."

 

[lalijack]

Plus, we have Johnny Appleseed(I included him for Twinkie and her slicing of multiple apples daily), Irene Dunne, Greg Kinnear, Red Skelton, Hoagy Carmichael, John McLaughlin (he was the halftime entertainment at the Colts game I was just at. pretty cool),

BBN, Jon McLaughlin is VERY cool....I have his latest album on my iPod. I asked you if you'd heard of him months ago, but you hadn't at the time. Don'tcha LOVE him?

Not that anybody asked, but Massachusetts has *ahem* more than a few notable natives too. For instance: John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Johnny Appleseed (he was born in Leominster MA and DIED in Indiana...but 1-4-3, BBN), e.e. cummings, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ben Franklin, Dr. Seuss, John Hancock, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Nathaniel Hawthorne, JFK, and....oh, I'd better stop now. But y'all get the picture, right?

I figured out the problem. You married a MAN, baybee. (No offense DTD, Lil G, WT, GoDaddy, and Mr. Poppins who actually does say stuff like that)

As Jimmy Stewart said in It's a Wonderful Life "I thought we were supposed to be a happy family. Why do we have all these kids?"


Thanks for the 411 on Johnny Appleseed. He is my kind of man. Fer shure.

back Steph and Tammy

Hiya Shakespeare.

Hill - Hiya! Can I call you Hill? The consonants in the front of your name confuse me and I'm scared I might call you PJ by mistake.
