Well I don't know why I came
here tonight
I got the feeling that something
ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall of my
chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get
down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you......
 
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say...

I don't think it is odd at all that we have bonded here, by means of our words. Not so very long ago friends often used words as a way to stay in touch, written one, called 'letters'. Many touching friendships were formed by the pen. People exchanged letters for years without meeting face to face. So I don't find it odd to count you all among my friends. I hope some day to be able to meet each one of you face to face, but you are no less of a friend due to the fact that we have not, yet.

Zzub I wanted to respond to you, not just because you made me cry, and in that moment of weakness I agreed to a neighborhood sleepover. At my house. Tonight. Really I am saying this to many of you, not just Zzub. Honestly, I almost never put words to this, but I will try. I will disagree with some of you, my friends. Isn't that what friends are for? It never gets easier. It gets different. The weight in your heart seems lighter, but not because it in any way diminishes. It is because you grow stronger and so the weight becomes less of a burden for you.

I can not offer you much more than my dearest wish that you will always find the strength you need. I wish that for all my new friends here. Well that, and if I run across any more really great photos, I will make sure to send them your way.

You are all yellow, my dears. Each and every one of you. :moped:

Now I have a houseful of children to see to, so I may be late getting back here. MommyP I may need some advice... what have I done?
 
Haley, You are the Meet Coordinator!! And we are all in good hands. I love your trip report, your stories, and even your photos!!

Good luck tonight...
Jami
 
HaleyB- I don't know why they call it a sleep over because no one sleeps, especially
not you. Have fun.......brave one.

I don't know if anyone will find this funny. I do. Cause I was there. And I did it. So here's my exciting end to a long week:






Ok….so I was outsmarted by my chair at work today. It wasn’t my fault totally. Well actually it was, cause that’s what you get when you play around with office equipment. Well it started out innocently enough. My coworker wanted to adjust the back of her chair, but said that you can’t. I was no…..you can. I then started to monkey around with the little turny dial on the side. That wasn’t right. It did NOTHING. So I get out if the chair and I take a look at all the little knobbies on the thing. There are three. One moves it up and down, once tilts the seat up and down, and the third one tilts the back of the chair. Well at least that is what the little pictures on the handles told me.
So being the GENIOUS that I am, I sit in my chair and was like, hey look at this, it tilts the seat part. So….anyone care to guess what happened. Yup, I pushed it down. So I am sitting there pushing this lever..and I push down on my seat. It slants waaay down. I let go of the lever. I mean I am sitting there at my desk, and I am sliding out of my chair. So I go to put it back. It doesn’t go. AT ALL. I kid you not. I am sitting there at a slope, trying not to fall completely on the floor. I can’t fix the darn chair. It won’t go back flat. Like it’s supposed to be. So, I play it off. I was like this is actually MORE comfortable this way. As I propped myself up in the chair.
Anyone care to guess my next genious move?? That’s right, fiddle with more levers on the darn chair. So I am sliding out of my chair and I grab the Tilt the Chair Back Lever. It doesn’t want to move. But I am insistent. I pull it hard, and the back of my chair tilts way back.. I am now the gangsta teller. I got the lean going on. But as a plus this leaning back offsets my sliding off the chair. So it works. So then I realize I may be stuck like this. I need to fix my chair, and fast before someone walks in and catches me in this really weird position. So I grab what I thought was the seat tilty knob. AHA….that wasn’t what it was. It was the put the chair down lever. I am sitting there looking at my coworker and I said to her, I need to fix my chair and I pull the lever. Down I go. She cracks up, I crack up and I can’t fix my chair. I am now really low, leaning way back, and sliding off the front of the chair. I am smoooooth. Seriously smooth. AND I CAN’T FIX THE CHAIR!!!
I thought that the next move was that the chair was going to implode and my butt was going to be dragging the ground. Seriously, I was waiting for it.
I keep pulling at the levers and NOTHING happens. I broke it. Badly. How do you explain this to your boss. I need a new chair cause I was playing around and I broke it.
I finally got it to move a little bit. The bottom anyway. So I am not falling out of it anymore. That’s where I left it. Cause I couldn’t take it anymore. I was doing the shaky laugh. SO was she. We agreed that is what I get for playing around.
Maybe you should have been there, cause it was hilarious. It may not be as funny now. But just picture it…maybe it will be funny.
 
Great googlymoogly, no more procrastinating for me. The December park hours have been released and I need to plan my ADRS accordingly! Big changes to Holiday Wishes it appears... not sure I am thrilled about that.:confused3

Aaaaand, I must decide my October ADRs this weekend!:teeth:

I'll be at TGM for most the evening methinks :)

Perhaps I'll bump into you all later?:wave2:

OK, how are you getting 25% off letters and phone calls at home?!!! And can you hook me up?!!!! I'd definitely get one of the new cotton ones. But since that's what I got, I'm partial. And you know, I looked at the "lime" green signature fabric online and thought, yuck, but when I saw it in the store it was much more subdued and the wallet looked so cute with that and it's white leather. I almost bought it. MAtches nothing, but who cares.

Anyway, I bow down to the queen of Coach. :worship: Maybe the queen will take pity on me someday.

Anyway, for all that was grey and difficult, there has been enormous light and levity and I will never be able to thank my friends for making me laugh. I just don't have the words for that.

But I have this :moped: and you know this means I care about you guys.

I once heard somewhere that often the PS of a letter is the true point of the message, and the real reason the letter was written in the first place. I have noticed Dear Oz, that you often end your writing/s with the best "PSs"!

I know that you know that you have many more yellow days to come, and I am glad that we get to share in them in some small way.
 
Just wanted to pop in to let you all know that the deadline to make ressies for the Aug/Sep MYW Free Dining offer has been extended through June 25th. So, there is still time to book!

Were you wearing gauchos or a skirt?

Javamom...I'm heading to WDW around the same time (DEC)...and I don't even have my tentative plan done yet...too much time spent here laughing with/at this bunch!

Do you really think that it will help?

Neither....It's Friday...that means jeans baby! Yea!!

I don't wear skirts. Cause nobody wants to see that. Seriously.
I am not sure I can wear the gauchos anymore.
 
I know everyone wants to go back to funny stuff and posting gross pictures of pig innards. I will in just a sec. Trust me. I have plenty of gross food pics to share with you guys.


I need to address the several posts I've read just now. This morning was a bit emotional for me. I woke up remembering all the ruckus and hoopla we had last night. Yes, the room was crowded and with everyone talking at the same time it gets difficult to keep up. It reminds me of Sunday dinner. Where everyone is elbowing each other and kicking each other under the table. And burping !! And talking at the same time !! But it's family and it's FUN. That's how I feel about this crazy bunch of ours. We're extended family.

ZZUB, Mel and Jami's posts made me cry. Really cry. I think sometimes we forget how we can touch someone's life. Either with a smile, a wave or a funny picture of head cheese! I think that is what keeps us here. It's what keeps us coming back day after day. There are people across the country and a couple in Canada that care about us. :teeth: It makes you chuckle and do the full on silent shake when you think about the road kill pictures we saw last night.

It's the little joys in life that make life what it is. And everyone here plays a part in that joy we all get.

Okay, back to the silliness and grossness that we all enjoy.



YUMMY TRIPE SOUP !!!!!!

To the Queen of Coach...I miss you my little Pongo. We haven't chatted in a while. Abby is doing better with her fashion sense. That's only b/c I insist on picking out her clothes and I've bought her new sandals. The red ruby shiny glittery ones have somehow disappeared. ;)


Ash..gotta ya. Thanks. :sunny:
 
NAB - No more lurking....you're OUT now. I like your posts...they make me smile. Especially when I'm posting illegally from my (very boring but well paying) second job. (shhhh...don't tell!)

I thought the story about your little princess: learning to ride her bike (that was you, right?) was precious.

I'm sure Horsey didn't mean to hurt your feelings...she's much too sweet to do that.

Here's a dancin' nanaman and a Rembrandt for you! :banana: :artist:

YUMMY TRIPE SOUP !!!!!!

OMG Pooh. You just gave me a flashback. To college. When I had to work in the dining hall. Prep cook, morning shift. Prepping for dinner. I had to chop tripe one time. Why, I never EVER want to know. Just don't send your kids to UNH, people!
 
Let's see how I got the phone call from the COACH store. I don't know. THe phone rang, Andy took a look at it and I looked on the TV (cause we have the caller ID on the tv) it said COACH. I was all confused, so I answered it. It was a sales girl from the store I shop at asking me if I got my invitation. I said yes.
She wanted to call and let me know that even though the event didn't start until later in the week, that over the weekend I could come in and pick out what I wanted. They would box it up for me, charge my account later, and deliver my stuff to my house. WHy I have no idea, but I am assuming it's because I can pick stuff out early???? I will probably go there this weekend...it mean it's 25% off!!!!!

First of all, I totally agree. When I was in like 2nd grade my mom got me a penpal. We STILL write to eachother after all these years, and we have NEVER met! You don't have to meet face to face to be friends!

Second of all...

My advice is feed them sugar AND lock THEM up. tee hee :happytv:
