MOOvin' Along - Goog Times, Goog Friends . . . Part 3

[RobInBigKC]

Hi Rob,

Have we had proper introductions here?

If I forgot, please forgive me, I keep forgetting the Ginko Biloba, danggit! (Just ask Lexi!)

Hi I am Marita, I live on my couch in Floida, and hardly ever venture out, unless absolutely necessary.

And my handwrtiing is restricted to rare grocery lists and signing credit card receipts.

Pleased to meet you!

Hi Marita! I am Rob and I live in Missouri. I mostly lurk here but I post every now and again.

Twink...I know this was posted ages ago, but I feel the need to revisit it. Chocolate soda?!! (or pop, or coke, or whatever you want to call it). That sounds nasty. Secondly, I met a girl at Chef Mickey's who said her mom got breast cancer from drinking diet stuff. And my mom says it's bad for you. Yet I drink it all the time. SO, the question is, are we all going to die from drinking diet soda?

Rob...I couldn't pass this one up. Because I'm confused. You write backwards???!

PJ! "Sounds nasty" seems to indicate you've never tried one. Get yourself to a Sonic or Steak n' Shake soonest and try one.

Duh! It's called "pop". <Rob ducks as everyone from St. Louis eastward pelts him with rotten vegetables.>

Hmmm. How to explain? (and I apologize in advance for all this will bore but she asked) First, I don't write all of my letters backwards but many of them or a mix of rightly and wrongly. Basically, I don't print my letters correctly.

For example, on an upper-case K, I do the 1 stroke -- the vertical line from top to bottom -- correctly, but on the 2 stroke I start against the vertical line and move diagonally upwards away from the vertical line instead of moving towards the vertical line. On the 3 stroke, I do it correctly as well, starting against the vertical line and moving diagonally downwards away from the vertical line. The purpose of doing the 2 and 3 the way you are supposed to is so that you can do them both without raising your pencil off the paper -- my way you have to raise your pencil and reposition it between strokes.

One more: on a lower-case n, I do what is basically the arch part of the n first and then come back and do the vertical line stub on the left half of the letter and I do the vertical line in an upward direction. As I'm sure you know, since you are a teacher of "yoots", one is supposed to do the vertical line first in a downward direction and then come up and do the arch part.

Anyway, much of my printing is done in the same haphazard manner.


Sorry to bore the rest of you (well, probably bored PJ too, if she takes the time to read back and see this post).

Rob, it's "pop" here in Michigan too

Missed this one earlier...

I was watching that on the news all that day it happened. That was really scary. I get your point. It seems like if diet coke really was actually legitimately bad for you it wouldn't exist for human consumption.

Like cigarettes or chewing tobacco? (No offense to any smokers on this thread intended.)

GOOG MORNING!

I slept til almost 7 again! I must go back to my 8 pm bed time!

I skimmed a little.

Things that made me laugh.....

Don't you have some flying monkey's to feed?

and this.....

It seems like if diet coke really was actually legitimately bad for you it wouldn't exist for human consumption.

Rob beat me to the cigarettes comparison.

Stay away from the diet coke, PJ! It's poison!

LYnette.....EVERYONE should drink coffee instead!

Moo.....I knew I liked Mr. Moo! I was born on his birthday!

PJ.....I'd rather be dirty than take a cold shower in the middle of winter.

WT.....I hope your tooth feels better. What are you going to do if you've left the dentist and it still hurts???

Celery....When are you having broadband put in at the trailor?

Where's MommyP?

EVERYBODY.....

HAVE A GOOG DAY!

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

GOOG MORNING, SUNSHINES!

Insert comments to people who said something to me and other witty remarks here. I just don't have it in me. Have a nice day.

 

[babynurse1]

The Donna Reed thang was pretty far fetched! But quite amusing! I know of NO ONE who would do that, LOL.

Fine. The dh didn't get a bath drawn last night. There I admitted it on an open thread. But, we had volleyball last night and he opted for a shower instead.

bbn...You? Get a thread shut down? GET OUT!!!!

Hmmmm. In retrospect, it was not my direct actions that lead to the thread's demise. I retract my statement.

1. I mostly lurk.


2. Rob ducks as everyone from St. Louis eastward pelts him with rotten vegetables

3. (and I apologize in advance for all this will bore but she asked)


4. Sorry to bore the rest of you

1. truer words were never spoken

2. I prefer rocks or stones, it's more effective.

3. I have never found your posts to be boring.

4. Oh we're not bored....

zzzzzzzz

 

[babynurse1]

Insert comments to people who said something to me and other witty remarks here. I just don't have witty and amusing retorts in me.

We know PJ, but we still love you anyway.

 

[celerystalker]

Morning all.

I think I'll try to call mommyp later. Just to see how things are going.

Last edited by NAB : Yesterday at 07:41 PM. Reason: I guess that isn't true, I work everyday....pot roast maker, nanny, laundry, taxi driver.....

Before I log off of here, I just wanted to say that this is so true. And I bet you're a great mom NAB. You can tell you really love your kids by the way you talk about them.


I am the Trivia Line Leader. In Lexi's AND Celery's!!!! Nobody else play, ok?

WT.....I hope your tooth feels better. What are you going to do if you've left the dentist and it still hurts???

Thank you. It does, now I just have anxiety issues to deal with. If it did still hurt I would sue him for everything he and his family own. Duh. Wouldn't everybody? Ya know, maybe it DOES still hurt.

Things that suck: taking a cold shower.
Night.

Oh NO!

On purpose?

Can I add something to your list of one?
Saw something on the back of a truck that is off putting. To say the least.
A HUGE set of male "boys" attached. They also come in blue, I am told. How can I shelter my kids from this? How can I shelter ME from that?
Have you guys seen this new stupid trend of redneck extremism? I may not want to be a redneck anymore.
I don't even know what to tell you to google to see for yourself, if you're morbidly curious. Try Truck Nuts??? Can we say "nuts" here?




ARGGH! I can't scratch the image out of my short term memory!


Anyway, GOOD MORNING!!!!!!

Hi Rob...I'm Lynette. Pleased to meet ya! You posted my thoughts exactly!

LYnette.....EVERYONE should drink coffee instead!

Melinda, you are precisely right!


What's up, MOOvers? Halfway through the week! w00t! And only 5 days until my b-day! Double w00t!

 

[monymony3471]

Only 1 page for today? Did I miss something?

 

[UtahMama]

I know! WHO did this?

My FDIL(?) got in a car wreck last night, I just heard! Her truck was t-boned and all she got was whiplash, thank God!!!


DS is comforting her and tending to her every need. Poor Sara!

 

[monymony3471]

Glad she's ok Wendy. Sounds like she lucked out.

 

[celerystalker]

FDIL? Do you think it's headed in that direction?

 

[WheatThins]

Now. Where were we? Oh, right. Marita's husband had just explained to her that one's snark level rising was NOT a compliment.

Later that evening:

Marita's Husband: My oh my. That sure was a nice bath, back rub and foot massage.

Marita: Anything for you dear. Is there anything else I could get you?

Marita's Husband: Well, I sure could go for another piece of your homemade peach cobbler. Don't forget the scoop of ice cream. A little coffee would be nice too.

Marita: Coming right up.

Marita's Husband: I had such a rough day at the office today.

Marita: You did? Do you want to talk about it?

Marita's Husband: Marita. You know I don't like to talk about the office when I get home.

Marita: Oh, that's right. I'm sorry.

Marita's Husband: It's OK. I know how easy you tend to forget things. Now, how was your day?

Marita: Oh, it was just wonderful. I called in sick. But that didn't stop me from posting 108 times on the Disboards today.

Marita's Husband: 108 times? What could you have to post about that many times?

Marita: Oh, nothing really. But they seem to really enjoy it. And, just 10,000 more posts and I might get another tag.

Marita's Husband: Well, now wouldn't another tag make the family proud.

Marita: It makes my lips tremble just thinking about it.

Marita's Husband: Hurry up and get that cobbler, you've got some posting to do tonight Marita.

Marita: (contented sigh) OK dear. I'll be right back. (heard from the kitchen) Shall I bring your pipe?

I so wanted to quote Th Breakfast Club here, and relate it to WT, but it would not be family friendly. Something about a turkey pot pie.

 

[UtahMama]

Celery- Not for years I'm hoping. They're only 18 and a half and this isn't the year 1850. I say he's no where remotely near being mature enough to have a wife. I meant, be married He is taking good care of her since she's super sore and dizzy. He has potential. Can of worms duly opened.

So....dinner is supposed to be served? huh.

Marita!!! A new tag makes your lips tremble? Just don't mention lard or bums in any way.

Mony2- thanks for saving the thread. I though I broke it with my truck nuts comment. That no one saw.
