There's a great website at www.guysread.com. click on "Guys picks" and the age level, and it'll give you a whole list of fun books for boys. (Can you tell I spent years as a kids' librarian?)

Thanks - this is GREAT!!!!

Kathy ds 7 LOVES 'King Auther' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's written in lanquage thats a little "old fashioned" so we have to discuss a lot them....or , depending on my mood I just change them a bit as we read. We just finished 'TReasure Island' for the second time....that was a big big hit. We've done a couple of the Harry Potters - but will wait a while for another - he wont admit it but they are alittle too scary. We've started chronicles too!

Happy RAINY Friday

Hi all. Mom's been home for a couple of hours. She did really well. They took some cancer off her arm & her thumb. Her thumb was kind of bad, they ended up doing a skin graft for that. So far so good, she has to keep her arm elevated, so it constantly looks like she's waving. She said when they were leaving the parking lot the attendent waved to her.

GREAT news Mary! Still keeping you all in my prayers for a speedy recovery

 

[Donald - my hero]

No, a little higher than that. I'd brag about my hour glass figure, but the sands are definitely shifting.

Now that is just too funny! I always use that as an excuse as to why my bras seem to no longer fit and my pants have shrunk!

Happy Friday. Anyone out there gotta fork lift? Time for what Ben calls "the weekend of gluttony" Thanksgiving Weekend for us. Good cause you get an extra day on Monday, but like some of us dealing with all that family is just toooooo much
John has given me a hall pass so I don't haffa go to his parent's place tomorrow BUT can't get outta my family since Nana is turning 85. Down we head to Toronto to help with a gathering @ her church from 3 - 5 serving cake and coffee to peeps I don't know (very very hard for me to be with lots of folks I don't know) THEN off to a restaurant that, well, she likes ... that is HOW it should be since it is her birthday but i doubt my kids will. TOUGH suck it up it is only 1 meal right?

I think you'll get through it.

I'm gonna be busy glutonizing this weekend!! I have two friends Birthday Parties to go to on Saturday. Then that same evening I'm heading over with some of the guys to celebrate Thanksgiving . I'm gonna be a zombie on Sunday . A little and a lot of naps should revive me though.

Uhm RER1972 why are you doing the Thanksgiving thing this weekend? I mean I know why we are since we are north of the border. But uhm your profile says TEXAS. That is sure a LOOOONG way from here. Or are you just trying to sneek in TWO turkey times?

 

[stinkerbelle's mom]

Hi all. Thanks for your thoughts on my mom! We really appreciate it. Not sure if I mentioned it, but she will be at the limey meet with us!

Ronnie-- or should we be calling you Donnie?!?!?! The pumpkin costume really brings out your eyes!

Tara- Sorry you're home alone more, but congrats to Steve! Congrats to us, cuz maybe you'll be able to DIS more too!

Jacqueline-- Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family.

Hi everyone else. (Hope I didn't miss anything)

I was just thinking that maybe I slept too long last night and it's November already.

 

[katlas&kids]

For a second there I thought you were calling me fat! I can't help it if I waddle everywhere.

Not you, silly. The cases!! How can anyone get fat on a PB diet?

 

[katlas&kids]

Hey everyone,

I don't know if y'all have already touched on this subject. I haven't been on to read all the posts in the past few days. But I've been listening to the reports of the Million Dreams Disney is doing. Wouldn't it be awesome to win on overnight stay in the castle?

I think it would be awesome to win anything! I did have some magic while I was there though, so that was real cool too!

Hi everyone. I have been super busy lately. I am at work again for a half day today (more money for trip ) then I will work again on Monday and Tuesday. With my dad helping a little I will be able to get Dh the camera he wants next week . Tonight I am having dinner with my sis so that we can exchange cd's of the pictures we took at WDW. I can't wait to see all the ones she took. Plus I will be able to add some to my TR which I plan to update this weekend. Oh and there are only 15 days till DH and I leave for our trip We are going to drive to Orlando a day early and stay at a motel just down the road that night so that we can check in at the resort early the next day and spend all day of our actual Disney vacation at Downtown Disney.

Hee, hee surprised you answered! Yeah mine have gone a bit south also. The farther north, the more south!

 

[katlas&kids]

Yes it is or at least uniquely him! He is a bit on the odd side, IMHO! But we are together for ever unless he really weirds out on me or stops taking his meds!!

thanks Virginia! Have you or any others read the Cam Jansen books yet? I heard they were good, but not sure. I know Amazon has them... just wondered!

And Yeah, Teresa sent us the rain for the weekend. Wasn't that SO nice of her!!

Nope, it's early Canadian Thanksgiving ! About half of the guys I hang out/ play hockey with are from Canada (the players from the local pro team are coming over too). The guy giving the party is from New Foundland, several guys from Ontario, Saskatchewen, Manitoba, & Quebec. We did have someone from B.C. up until two months ago but he's up in Dallas now.

You could try sending it here to southeast LA. We haven't had rain in two weeks and could use some.

Not sure but I don't seem to have a problem doing it.
