Ok, it has been FOREVER since I've been able to watch the show on a regular basis and, unlike the M*A*S*H episodes, the episodes of Green Acres are not burned into my memory line-for-line. However, I seem to remember that attempts were made to build a bedroom wall. Actually, the first attempt was to enlarge the bedroom and the wall was removed for that project and then never was built back. That project failed, of course, because Lisa Douglas -- not knowing any better -- hired local carpenters Alf and Ralph Monroe to enlarge her bedroom (Oliver Douglas asked them to come over to give him an estimate but then Lisa hired them while Oliver was away from home). They started the project and removed the wall and then had to stop because Buford Wilkins, the building inspector, showed up and made the Monroe siblings stop their work because they only had a J-2 Contracting License which meant they were licensed to only build chicken coops and rehang doors, not do bedroom renovations. So, the project stalled with the wall removed.

In another episode, Lisa threatened to leave the farm if Oliver didn't get their house fixed. Oliver hired an architect and a contractor but none of the subcontractors would cross Alf and Ralph Monroe's picket line (the contractor foreman was Ralph's uncle and Mr. Haney's cousin). The picket line issues were settled (Alf and Ralph got some of the work) but then Mr. Haney (the local peddler and swindler) got an injunction against the construction because the farm "home" is a historical landmark. It was the birthplace of the first governor of the state that Hooterville is located in. I don't know for a fact but I think the fact that the home is a historical landmark prevented any future attempts to build the bedroom wall.

The dancing pickle is a leftover from the Christmas pickles that were all over the DIS -- I just haven't had the desire to remove him yet. Nut Job is my nickname on the Mixed Nuts thread. Most of the regular Nutters have that Mixed Nuts image with their Nutter nickname above it in their siggies. The Condi image is a shout-out to my good friend LBelle (who is the one who recruited me over to the CB many, many months ago when I foolishly was getting on the DIS only to gather information for Disney trips) and LBelle's love of having her hair brushed and her garage cleaned.

RE: Super Bowl....Did everybody enjoy the commercials? I mean the game? Didn't Tom Petty totally ROCK! Best half time show in ages!

Moo....Where were you 5 years ago?! I could've used that lil babysitting method then. I think he's too big to tape to the wall now. Or is he? Hmmmmm...

PJ....Are you doing OK???? Question: Have you been to see the Body exhibit yet? DD is anxious to go. I think I'd be a little grossed out.

Loved several of the commercials. It gave me something to chat with my PA about while having injections in my knees today His favorite was the Will Ferrell Budweiser commercial. I kinda liked the lizards dancing to Thriller. I was amazed that Tom Petty and his band members ALL wore suits

Nawwww, you never would have duct taped James!!! That baby reminded me of baby Brooklynn on MeMom's TR

I saw Body Worlds a few years ago in Philly when DD went to Penn for a grad school visit and it was fascinating. That Body exhibit doesn't sound like it is as well done.

If this IS the standard I am in sooooo much trouble.

You ARE in a lot of trouble, snack cracker!!!!!!!!!

oh, ....thats self evdient too... , moo..you crack me
up...wonder if that old adage..true..in your parts? ?

glad..you asked...the rooster rules..the roost, but the hen rules??

well, moo..girly? what is it? { who's keeping the rooster ..in the barn~
yard...in your neck of the woods?] -* i just country talk~

1. That would be the hen rules the rooster.

2. And the rooster in this barn yard's "wings" have been clipped.

Moooooo. I FEEL extremely uncomfortable right now.

Wheat Thins

Waiting, waiting . . . you know we wanna see those pics, but we're fairly patient!!!

Do you have a Jack Russell? DH wanted one, but I dissuaded him after being around my friends' two. So glad he spotted our little sweetie pups on petfinder.

Peej, hope your grandma is doing OK

WOW! You answered my question in a very thorough manner. Which is appreciated.

I used to watch that on Nick at Night. I also like Get Smart.
I really need a "cone of silence" right now. My kids are screaming meemee's from being cooped up from the snow.

Moo- I just want to use up my letters and start a new game! I havent been SLAPPED with that big of a loss in....ever! Monica's turn and she's sick!

I'm procrastinating on gathering receipts for daycare deductions. In a shoe box. I have to sort then if said item is remotely related it's IN. Plus I have to figure the % of my appliances and central air, utilities, etc. I'm gonna be bizee! Ugh. Math of the tedious variety!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Wendy, Mony took her turn and the game is over!

Hope you're finally feeling better, Mony!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Wendy, Mony took her turn and the game is over!

Hope you're finally feeling better, Mony!!!

Well POOP! I had 4 points to tack on.


Is a New game started???? I only want to play one at a time. Can I start a new one?

 

[Minnie_Moo]

If I could make one improvement to Scrabulous, it would be to notify all of the players of the outcome instead of the game just disappearing to all but the person who made the final play

Very disconcerting.

But you can look in your game archives to see how things ended up.

 

[celerystalker]

Beef Stew is one of my favorites, even when it is 80 degrees out.

I know you will do a good job!!!

Enjoy!!

Cy

Ha! Marita never finishes anything. Wait a second! she finished! good job Marita!

Shhhh..... the people on this thread still think I'm "normal".

Hannah Montana was super fun with my DIS/real life friends last night. I think she looks all grow'd up.

She's too growed up! Auntie cel says no more glitter and flat irons!

Natasha would like to post some smileys.

These are for you, MOOvers.


Thanks for your indulgence.

Yay! thanks natasha! we love smilies! I miss the twinkies smilies.

this is for you:

Anybody else watching Puppy Bowl IV???

What is this puppy bowl of which you speak?

Crack me up.. Chris katan!!!

Thanks, Java! I couldn't remember his name!

We don't get the U.S commercials here during Super Bowl. ....

They weren't that funny this year, nab. Promise

Naomi Campbell dancing to Thriller... she should have been holding a cell phone too! The lizard with a grill was funny.

I wasn't sure it was her or not.

fyi..i miss not hearing from ...our dear..lil C~girl. we can always count
on her... ..with a heart..big as all outdoors! don't change!

well, except...finding more time....for your friends...

Sorry, lil g! no internet access at home yet - so I can't log on on the weekends.

Aren't you cute? Twisting and turning my words to mean something else. Is some kind of clever lawyer trick? If so then why, pray tell, are YOU using it?

Hehehehehehhe.
Love you, WT!
(and you too, funny babynurse!

Hey everyone else!

 

[Toot Sweet]

Hey, friends! I'm off to WDW in the morning. Just want to stop in and say

So who remembers the episode where they had to buy a Pore Key from Mr Haney in order to paint the house?

 

[javamom]

have a great trip!!!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Hi, Cel! Puppy Bowl is on Animal Planet. It's a mini football field with a bunch of puppies frolicking on it. With water bowl cam. And lots of toy footballs for them to play with. AND the kitties come out at half-time. Can't believe you've never seen it before!!!

Have a wonderful trip, Bonnie!

 

[NAB]

Bye Bonnie, I knew you will have a blast!!! And look all pretty to meet up with some hags...

Moo-- It was mild this morning but our wind picked up again and it is darn cold.

Celery-- I will believe you. I did see the Cashew peanut one on the View this morning.

 

[lalijack]

Heya MOOvers!

Thanks to all who acknowledged Natasha's smileys....she was thrilled! Although she was a tiny bit perturbed that I wouldn't post her real name.

Utah, Natasha saw your DD's picture and purrrrrred, "Oh, Mum...isn't she just the cutest? AND she likes Hannah Montana!" She asked if we could invite Norah to her upcoming b-day party, which is slated to have a Hannah theme. (btw, the b-day is not until the end of MARCH, but she likes to plan ahead. ) She was sorry to hear that a Utah to Massachusetts drive was probably not in the cards.

BBN , can't really comment about the Patriots, since I know ZERO about football. I do know that Tom Brady IS indeed better looking than the Manning boys. Just saying.

Also, did you ever notice that WT reverts to quotes in Latin whenever he runs out of comebacks? Hmmmm........

Hey, Rob, thank you for the informative post. I'm not sure where I might possibly use that info, but I'll file it away just the same.

Moo, I'm off to take my turn....back in a few.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Woo Hoo! Hope you didn't take my spot

 

[WheatThins]

I'm just warmin up half-pint.

[lalijack]

I'm just warmin up half-pint.

So, you went from quoting Latin to quoting Pa Ingalls? Interesting, WT.

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

Hello, Moovers.

Grandma had her surgery today. I won't bore y'all with the details but it didn't go well and they had to stop. So, it's a procedure that she needs done, but they can't do it because her heart isn't strong enough. Her heart got really sick during the whole thing and she almost died so they moved her to the ICU tonight.

That's my news. Now someone post a joke!
