Something About Nothing #3..........

[loribell]

Morning everyone.

Jodie - great job on the faux tags. I love it!

Scotlass- Congrats on the purple belt. Sorry you are sore today!

Lawrence - the car mess sucks. Hope you don't have to break in to the vacation fund.

Fletch - Congrats on the weight loss.

Outlander - Thanks for the breakfast.

Janet - Hope you can sleep better tonight and the stiffness goes away.

Katie - You know you are going to miss Patty.

Patty - Same for you! I can't wait to hear all about you guys' vacation. And since you take lots of pics I do expect to see them.

DM - Good luck getting into the contest. So if you take so many pics why have we not seen lots of pics of the Orlando parks?????

Tricia - Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you guys. Can't wait for you to check in.

Hi to everyone else. Sorry my mind is foggy today.

 

[Sharon G]

Are ya'll really going to leave me with all of this food?

ETA: You're welcome Sharon!

Sears carries Land's End? I had no idea! *must get out from under rock*

They carry a small variety of Lands End things in my Sears. Plus, if you order from the catalog and need to return something, you can return it to Sears!

Not talls though. That frustrates me since we love Lands End and both DH and I wear tall sizes in everything which they don't carry in the stores.

It is almost anniversary time here!

on April 10, 2007, this thread was born.



i thought it would be kewl to go back and post on april 10 past quotes down memory lane here.

find something that touched you
find something that made you laugh or cry

locate when you first came on board............

throw in some of the things that made us bond so well.

it is all up to you.
no one has to quote or go back, just thought it would be fun to see how we all think one year later.


here are the links to the past 2 threads.
phamton was kind enough to provide them for us


Part 1: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1416196

Part 2: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1698593

The first thread was started 4/10/07

I added a link to the other threads in your first post on Part 3.



i'll repeat this post again during the week as not everyone reads every page when they are behind.

and newbies, join in on the fun.
find something you find funny or interesting.

no one is required to do this.
so don't feel pressured if you don't want to.

just repeating the links in case you lost them.

 

[Sharon G]

Hi Marcie - do you really think we want to see more snow pics?!?

just joking with ya!

Question for you - I think I remember you posting that Matt went to the prom with his girlfriend last year. I'm assuming that he bought her a corsage, did he also buy a
boutonniere (sp?) or did his girlfriend buy it?

 

[outlander]

They carry a small variety of Lands End things in my Sears. Plus, if you order from the catalog and need to return something, you can return it to Sears!

Yay!!

Not talls though. That frustrates me since we love Lands End and both DH and I wear tall sizes in everything which they don't carry in the stores.

Boo!! I'm a tall too.

Ahhhwell....

I hope you find your swimsuit their Sharon.

 

[marciemi]

Sharon - he hasn't gone to prom yet (only juniors or seniors) but they do homecoming and a winter ball. For the ball last year and for homecoming, he got GF's and she got his (but told him what to get for her). This time she wanted one she could keep, so she got artificial ones for both of them that they could have forever (everyone say AAWWWW!). But my impressions is that in general she's supposed to buy his and him hers, if that makes sense!

Some fast pics for all of you before I head out! We're almost done! Maybe only one more batch (not counting the snow from this morning!).

Stephen with his namesake Uncle:

A couple cute shots with Stephen and his favorite cousin (and vice versa!):

Me and my Goddaughter having fun playing cards:

All this excitement was too much for her mom :

I'll try to check in from work. Everyone have a great day!

 

[marciemi]

Hi Marcie - do you really think we want to see more snow pics?!?

Well if I have to shovel it, then you have to see it!

 

[coastermom]

Outlander - thanks for the breakfast! It was yummy.

Coastermom - I've got 24 days left! I need a new swimsuit too. Lands End has one I have my eye on. Might mosey on down to Sears and see if they have it.

I went to sears nothing too great here. I ordered two from Newport News and just didn't like them in the colors I picked . I now see the same suit in all black which I may just order now that I sent the other two back. I need a strapless one too for Aug. My dress for my sisters wedding which is 8/29 is strapless and I don't want funny tan lines . Other wise the pictures will look funny and noody wants a cranky bride at least I don't want to hear her . . Ok off to scrap soon . BBL

 

[Tinker-tude]

looking at your ticket we see you have a 2 year old and you call getting up early ...................

mine got up at 4 in the morning when they were 2. it was done to drive me nuts

He was a lot worse when he was younger. He'd wake up screaming every two hours when he dropped his pacifier. It takes me a long time to fall asleep so I was averaging three hours of sleep a night. Now, we're all night owls around here. My kids are WIDE AWAKE at 9:00 when they go to bed. My husband was bound and determined to reclaim the spare room/nursery as his office a few months ago. So the crib (night time cage) is gone and the boys are in bunk beds. The 2 yr old gets out of bed the moment the door is closed and plays until midnight when he drags himself back to bed. I have to wake him up at 7:20 after Jared has gotten ready for school to put him in a jacket and toss him into the car seat. And then he won't nap.... I'd give my left arm for that kind of energy again.

 

[Tinker-tude]

Yeah...I hate getting up early but like leaving work at 3:30pm instead of 5pm.

I can relate, but on the opposite end of the spectrum. Before I had kids I liked working late so I could stay up as late as I wanted (4 AM) and sleep in until 10:30. I'm creative, so my brain works better at night.

you have more years of that..............just in case you thought it gets better


i only have your 2 y/o energy when i am at UO during HHN time.

i play all the time and sleep very little.

 

[Tinker-tude]

Then she started to talk HIM.

Polite,thoughtful,considerate,kind,confident,level headed and a joy to teach.

She said he has a place in the class of being the go to guy for help or if theres any arguements or disagreements he will step in cos in her words " he sees the bigger picture" ...pretty cool for a seven year old.

She also said he spends alot of his free time helping the kids who struggle with their work.This really really pleased me.

Now i know we all see our kids how we want to see them so hearing someone else praising him is soooooooooo awesome.I actually got teary eyed at one point!!!!

I dont know if this is the kind of thing youse talk about i just wanted to share............x

That's wonderful!!!!!!!!! It says a lot for your parenting skills and his maturity. You should be glowing. It's not often that you get an advanced mental AND emotional mind in the same boy. My husband's family is all brilliant, but they were all half crazy and rather unempathetic growing up. Hooray for the Scotlass family! Can we transplant a bit of his maturity into MY seven-year-old?

 

[Tinker-tude]

Not talls though. That frustrates me since we love Lands End and both DH and I wear tall sizes in everything which they don't carry in the stores.

I need petite, and most of the petite stuff around here just screams GRANNY. If there are short grandmas, you have to figure they were short when they were younger, too. And they passed that genetric trait on....

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Greetings all!

where is andy, brab, wendy, bonny, rose, marcie, janet, scratch janet, she had an accident today, R2D2, blue eyes, outlander, todd, jenn, tammy, jodie, fletcher...............and the rest of youse.

i'm locking the door now since you all snuck off and left me behind tonight.

knock on the window if you want in later.
the deadbolt lock is on ...........

... I checked into bed early - was sooo sleepy

Jodie is here with your faux tags of the day.

Just call me the Faux Tag Enchantress:

Bonny:
Dyed her hair red to match her car.
RIPs with homies.

Well done!

ONLY 21 MORE DAYS till my trip I really need to get a bathing suite and some summer clothes out ...

... 28 days for us

 

[marciemi]

I'd give my left arm for that kind of energy again.

I used to say that when Matt was in kindergarten. There was a little ante-room the kids (and parents) could wait in before the bell rang in bad weather. Probably about 10 feet square. You'd get 5 or 6 (or more!) kids in there and they'd just be bouncing off the walls. We'd be like 'if only we could harvest this energy!"

i play all the time and sleep very little.

Since I'm a believe in Garfield's quote "You only live once, so be sure to get lots of sleep!", I guess I don't fit in that well around here!

I need petite, and most of the petite stuff around here just screams GRANNY. If there are short grandmas, you have to figure they were short when they were younger, too. And they passed that genetric trait on....

And I just thought they shriveled up as they got older!

 

[bubba's mom]

Hi everyone....it's me Didja's miss me?? Nahh....prolly not....

Well, here's 2 days of ketchupin......

Good morning!

y r u ppl up so early?

okay...first...that is WAY too early Todd!! 5am I can understand...but BEFORE 5 am..... no way.....

Rob...it's normal for these guys to be up that early....(I know...they're strange!)

OMG BARB!!!! Where on earth did you find that????? That has to be the one of the funniest smilies I've ever seen!!!

Glad you love him.... sorry however...cannot reveal the source.....('fraid what y'alls would think of me!)

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
on a whim, checked out flights to and from MCO
Saved 200.00 - brab - need to keep checking the airfare!!! ours went from 74 to 59 per each way

I know you got my back sista....but, for the THREE of us, we put $249 out of our pocket for r/t tix this year (cuz of our credit ).....we are good to go! It's just not gonna get any better for us....altho, I am THRILLED the prices finally came down for you!

time difference.....its lunch time here !!!!

McDonalds any one ???

That's just too

SW has lowered the sale prices out to Las Vegas & Phoenix too this am, checked them on a whim. Thought once they were on sale, they were fixed; guess not. Still not lower than my original flight out mid day to Vegas.

I remember when our air opened...$99 o/w pp....wasn't thrilled, but with the credit, we couldn't beat it. (Accustomed to SW releasing at $79 o/w...think those days are over!)

Whoo Hoo! Guess I should check mine for next month.
I'm looking for airfare for August to Daytona Beach to take James to college. Cheapest i found so far is $450.

WOW Sharon...that's a LOT for a dinky airport like Daytona...

Lookit me not knowing what i'm doing!!

Now Barb, my supposed good friend Barb, brags she didn't pick the Heels to win. I feel like I have no friends.

Oh puleeze....I AM your friend I told them I didn't know what I was doing..... Besides...I had them all the way to the finals...and then my thought was....they had a good season, and if they make it all the way to the finals, they'd be due for a 'loss'....so, my thinking was that way.....has nothing to do with YOU personally...... & I think you know that.... (you just stirrin the pot, ain'tcha?)

For what its worth - I had the Heels winning it all .

friend

kiss @$$

As for the Benedict Arnolds.....

now, now.....

Yeah I hope so cause right now just worried on how I am going to get her to and from work until they get the thing fixed

Lawrence....sorry you are having car problems....that sux.... I certainly hope you don't have to 'dip into your fun money' to get yer wheels fixed..... I've been meaning to ask you....doesn't MaryEva drive?

when i had to run out today, i got in a minor mishap

on 4 lane hwy, semi truck riding the passing lane suddenly swerved in front of me (to avoid a dump truck who stopped & decided to turn left as i found out)

I'm glad you are okay....but, didn't this happen to you before?? Sounds familiar?? (must be the blonde thing again???) In a way, too bad you have good reflexes.....I'd let them hit me and (maybe) get a new car and some "extra" for vacation.....OR that new stove...kwim??

... anytime we wanted any of our medical residents to come to any sort of meeting we made sure to have food ... it was the only way they'd end up showing up!

well of course!!! Say "FREE BEER" and Jodie is right there by the time you are finished saying it!!

I missed the deadline to enter my photography in the fair!

However, it's only been a week and late entries may be allowed, if the Creative Arts Superintendent allows it.

*crossing fingers*

One of my entries to the fair is going to be a cat pic!

My fingers are crossed for you....by any chance, you want to share said photo??

...I'm pooped.

YOU'RE pooped? Ain't that Tricia's line???

I just got the Pentax K100D Super (DSLR) and I'm not a pro with it but definitely learning! What type of camera do you use?

I'm just looking for a bag or housing to put DS's dig camera in for underwater shots.....(you really don't think I'm gonna use OUR dig camera...didja?)

where is andy, brab, wendy, bonny, rose, marcie, janet, scratch janet, she had an accident today, R2D2, blue eyes, outlander, todd, jenn, tammy, jodie, fletcher...............and the rest of youse.

i'm locking the door now since you all snuck off and left me behind tonight.

knock on the window if you want in later.
the deadbolt lock is on ...........

I wuz hiding under the covers....ya didn't see me!

Jodie is here with your faux tags of the day.

Just call me the Faux Tag Enchantress:

I remember that...I thought it was funnie!!

Morning Sunshine!

Holy crap!!! That's a little bright for that early in the morning...dontcha think?

I don't think our Brab posted yesterday?

Brab:
Tanning SME
Emoticon Queen

Nope...didn't post yesterday....that thing called "real life" got in the way again I likes my "faux-tags"

Awesome tags!! These also would work as some good cliff notes too for our busier DISers!!

I agree..... (cuz I'M one of those 'busy' ones)

OUCH...sorry Morning youse.

Training last night ( I do Karate)and as we have been doing lots of grading work recently(i passed my Purple belt on saturday )
my instuctor decided to turn the fitness work it up a notch !!!

"Hey Im a purple belt now....bring it on big boy....is that the best youse can do !?"

fastforward 7.30 this morning,lets just say its just aswell i have a low bed to roll out off....or i'd still be there.

Never knew your eyelids could hurt so bad............

You mean working or living in Florida?

What's the difference.....really??

Boo!! I'm a tall too.

Ahhhwell....

[bubba's mom]

Since I'm a believe in Garfield's quote "You only live once, so be sure to get lots of sleep!", I guess I don't fit in that well around here!

That's funny...my philosophy is "I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead."

 

[scotlass]

That's wonderful!!!!!!!!! It says a lot for your parenting skills and his maturity. You should be glowing. It's not often that you get an advanced mental AND emotional mind in the same boy.

thanks.

dont get me wrong he is a 7 year old boy so he still has his moments...but in the whole hes no a bad wee laddie!!

Im guessing from your siggy DS is into star wars,Matthew likes the films but WWE is his big obsession!!.
