I still don't see any Pinky's pix on the website!!!
You do realize that if i hit that htread, I may be too enthralled to hit THIS thread![]()
If this works, this is a photo of Connor's arm the day after the first day in pads. It really looked a lot worse then what this photo shows. His elbow was black and blue and spots on his lower arm/wrist too!

Evening all!
I have to share this odd story. Last night, while DIS'ing, I can hear someone from across the pond talking loudly. It was a guy who lives over there, sitting outside, I assume there was someone out there with him. No loud music or anything, just loud talking, the breeze must have been blowing the noise towards our house. We went to bed about 12:30, still talking!!! Then my dog wakes me up barfing, so I grab her off the bed and take her in the bathroom. When she's done, I realize good grief, he is still talking! I ask dh, what the heck time is it that he is still outside talking? It was 5:01 AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd buy a printer. You can get a Lexmark relatively cheap. You might find a half decent HP relatively cheap. Where they get you is the ink.....Good Evening Fellow Parrotheads!!
We had a busy but nice day!! Took Steve into Charleston to meet the charter bus to take him to Baltimore. Came home, packed the truck and left just before 10 to back to Charleston for the Kick Off Classic. Was there until 230. Stripped Connor of his pads and went to TGIFridays for a late lunch/early dinner, we call it Linner. Stopped in Stapes to find Iron On Transfer Paper for a LASER printer, they don't have it, but did get the boys each a "trapper keeper" for school. It's not actually a trapper, but that gives you an idea of what it is. Then we came home, Connor showered and I cut grass and cussed and watered flowers. Got my shower and tried to upload the photos to PictureTrail and it's not working right. I"ll try again in a bit. Connor had so much fun today, but he is EXHAUSTED. We are starting the night time school schedule too. It's especially easy with Steve out of town because I go to bed earlier. Steve stays up late. It's always been that way. I am a morning person, he is a night owl.
tomorrow I have to take my truck to the autobody shop.I'll probably get it back Wednesday. Then it's waiting on the A/C guys to come and replace our thermostat upstairs. How long can we drag this out? heat pump, attic fans, thermostat......and over 2 months of my time! Then it's off to football practice, again!
I think the Stick Figures that Nancy is refering to, are the ones in my siggy! I just love them! I have them printed and on my fridge!
Speaking of printing, I have a dilema. My wonderful, loving, adorable husband, gave away our inkjet printer when he purchased us this top of the line HP Laser printer. Now I can't print magnets AND I can't print iron ons! He did some research last night and I can not use the ink jet transfers in the HP Laser. The HP gets so hot that it melts the paper in the machine and gums it up! PLUS the laser transfers have to be ironed on with a professional iron as it needs a temp of 475 and so many pounds of pressure. Soooooo, I can't decide whether I should ask a friend to print it for me, find out if Staples or Office Max can do this, OR just go and buy a cheap as I can find Color ink Jet to have to print all my stuff! For what I would pay to have stuff printed and laminated, I could probably buy a printer. WWYD?
Off to try PictureTrail again.....

Erika and Kristin, THAT is why I hurried off to Dick's Sporting to get him some pads! He was sore for a few days! Did I tell you the story of his coach? His coach was at Sportmart when we were looking there. So, we told him we were in search of pads and showed him Connor's arm. Even he was taken aback by it! A few days later, someone got hurt and was complaining. The coach said, Stop your whining and take a look at Cunningham's arm! You don't have anything to whine about! Well, then ALL the boys wanted to see his bruises! LOL
Allen, that is what I am thinking. For probably less then $50 we can get a decent printer for just this kind of stuff. I did see one in the Big Lots Ad this week for $22. I am SURE it's refurbished, but would that even matter? I doubt it. For as little as we would use it.
Great pix Michele! The kids look so small in such a big stadium!
