I'm already the Church Custodian...so it's not a stretch...but i think they have a company that comes in a sucks all the junk out....blech....

you should hear the speech the girls get at girls camp.....there are certain things that can't be put into the portapotty....and if they do...someone gets to dig it out.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

They have special pumper trucks that come around to every house about once a quarter here for just that purpose. The reek is overwhelming!

One time I dropped one of my brand new Clarks shoes down the hole. Wire works really well for fishing Clark dookies.

L, I to you. I don't think I could do what you're doing...

I would've bought new shoes...

 

[All7OfUs]

WE DON"T! I mean we do, but we are the only ones on the block without an outhouse now. My neighbor stole that, and the quarter acre that went with it. Long story.

I know it isn't funny but...

How do you steal an outhouse?

So where exactly are your....facilities?

 

[All7OfUs]

Where?? We buy shoes 3 years ahead and bring them in with us. I have to buy clothes 3 years ahead for my kids too. Long range planning is a good skill to have here! But I never thought I'd squat and drop a shoe bomb. THe wire was really long, so was the hose!

 

[winkers]

Where?? ! But I never thought I'd squat and drop a shoe bomb. !

can't breathe.....

that, is the funniest sentence EVER!!


I just woke up grumpy because the whole bed was shaking.

when you write your memoir....that should be the title.

 

[All7OfUs]

We have indoor plumbing, but only one or two of our neighbors do.

When we bought our house, the owner had had some fake plans drawn up, so we thought (and believed) we were buying more than we really were. Then one day the neighbor said that the land was really his, and that we could give it back or go to court. The old owner had simply put up a fence in the night, and he could do nothing because this guy was a "red document" holder, and nobody argued with them (Communist Party uppy ups). So, there went half of our yard overnight.

so, if you're following our latest drama, you'd know our sewer line is backed up right now (not our house lines, but in the manhole) so we are digging holes in a private-ish place in the yard.

Sorry, TMI, but a day in the life...

 

[WendyO]

that is my favorite!!

I remember getting so excited when the christmas specials were on....back before dvd's or videos....

Yeah, it's not quite the same these days when you can Tivo it, or just watch it on DVD/VHS whenever you want. It was on, when it was on, and that's it. Sigh.

I didn't want to disapoint Wendy....

You're freaking me out. Now I'm afraid to open any link you post... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Jordan better practice his belly shaking so he can do justice to these moves. Ha ha ha!!!

Wow! That's crazy to have to plan that far in advance....

can't breathe.....

Liesa and Cherie, I think you were twins separated at birth..you both have that sense of humor......

My friends in East Asia have similar weird things that happen so randomly because of the upper mgmt....

I think you're right; I think, too, we should find out by her making a special trip in Sept. OH, things that might happen!!

We call that place "the other side". Upper management- classic! a great term.. I like it!

 

[winkers]

....

we are rather classy and refined....

I think you're right; I think, too, we should find out by her making a special trip in Sept. OH, things that might happen!!

!

hmmmm....how do I convince dh that I need a solo trip?

When you talk to your friends in East Asia....let's just say you have to be creative in the way you word things.

 

[eandesmom]

Wow, I thought I was behind on my own TR and then I hopped over here!

'Cause he's not giving up soda until TOMORROW.

Uh huh...sure he is. Fresca. Hmmph.

ok.....if you insist....

Thankfully I was done drinking for the evening.

I really just think there needs to be a pop-up window every time we log onto this thread warning against drinking anything while reading this thread. Way too many funny peeps on here so you just never know when a zinger is going to be tossed out there. Too risky to be drinking anything. And really, you also need to be somewhere that you can laugh out loud without being stared at. So no reading this thread at the library or church or something. Ha ha ha ha.



I also love "Twas the Night Before Christmas" - the one with the mice and the clockmaker. Soooo great. "Even a miracle needs a haaaaaaaaand...."

and

"Christmas chimes are calling -- Santa, Santa!, Every child recalling -- Santa, Santa!, Come on old Kris Kringle, Down the Milky Way, Christmas chimes are calling--Santa, we need you today!"

(oh, and way off topic, but does anyone remember the Rankin/Bass "Mad Monster Party"? I just found it on DVD now... ooooohhhhhhh.)

I'm afraid of the belly shots yet to come now that you've opened that floodgate... ha ha ha ha.

Oh the mice! I LOVE that one!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. Just don't know if the job's for me. I'm almost 48. I don't know if I can relate to a 7th grader anymore.....oh wait....I take pix like this....

Maybe i'll be okay....

I will just echo everyone. Do what feels right to YOU. You can relate, frankly you'd probably be amazing. BUT they have shown that they overwork you (and you let them)....factor all of that in.

Oooo subway club.......



No razor blades and poison... Remember when people actually gave out apples....and there was this scare because people found razor blades in their apples.

Tattoos? Pencils?

Remember all of that, which of course dates me right there.

Yep. Tattoos and pencils. Are they supposed to save a Halloween tattoo for a year? Erasers are bad enough but the tatoos are almost like a tease!

Wow!
Is it totally selfish of me that my first thought about your dilema was about me not getting to "meet" you?

Is it totally selfish of me that if you have to reschedule I might get to meet you?

Liesa, if I take this position it's like finally saying goodbye to the life I led for the last 20 years that I didn't go to church. While I don't miss that life, it is hard to let go. Does that make any sense?

I have had so many people that have gotten to me to where I am today.

Aww thanks Cherie....I think..

Is it really Jordy? Is it saying goodbye or is it just turning it on its head?

I am not sure. I think you take it with you. What you had, moved on from, SURVIVED from...is what makes you relateable to the youth, where you can truly speak to them. They can use that. My sister was our youth director for 10 years. It is a HARD job. But on the flip side....you can be that person that gets one of them where they might go someday...

WE DON"T! I mean we do, but we are the only ones on the block without an outhouse now. My neighbor stole that, and the quarter acre that went with it. Long story.

Now, I've replaced an outhouse. Stealing one????

can't breathe.....

that, is the funniest sentence EVER!!

I am SO with Winkers on that.

 

[jordanyosh]

I agree that all my experiences good and bad will help me in relating to the youth. I lived all of it. I've shared much of it with them and they know I've been where they're at.....

 

[Charleston Princess]

Well, those pumpkin cookie things were looking pretty good until you said the word "lard." Yick.

Good luck on your job decision -- it's always a tough call to decide if you want to try something new. How long is the interim position for?

 

[Native NYer]

Good luck with your work decision. I hope you can take the position and still go on vacation.

 

[englishrose47]

I"ve learned to be very careful when someone says they don't drink, or don't do this or that or whatever.... there very often IS a good reason for it, and I"m not the one to question, unless I've gone to a deeper level of friendship, and there's a certain level of trust there.

I'm so glad to hear that you have freedom where you are at today!! Congratulations!

Thanks and I wouldn't put it out there if I didn't consider you all my FRIENDS!!!
