cats rule..........

Gotcha!



The 10th it is. Everyone get that?



Welcome home Mac. We missed you.



Please do share your pics. I shared mine because someone was being impatient. We all want to see yours too. I would cheat though like I did. It made it very easy to just share the link to the slide show. The pics of the Lost set would have been very neat to see.



I have never had jet lag except when I flew home from Hawaii. It was terrible. I hope you get caught back up to CDT. Can I come with you to see your brother next year?



Shhhhhhh, Mac just went to bed.

thanks, i am still on hawaii time.
went to bed at 6 this morning and got up at 12:30 this afternoon.
jet lag sucks big time.

GOOD MORNING !!

I am feeling much better today and I am going out today . I have had it being in this house.


Mac... Glad to see you are back and I knew all about the suites we stayed there last summer . I am really to go back . My DS was so sad to leave he cried when we left. He doesn't even know we are going in July yet . I can't wait to see his face when we go to WDW .

When are we going to Cedar Point ?? I LOVE the point . we were thinking of going this summer but DS is still a little too short . YOU need to ride The Dragster and Mill. Force . I have to say it was a great trip when we went a few years ago.

Tricia .. Glad to here the little guy is OK now . You need a just for the stress of it all .


Ok going to eat my eggs (REAL FOOD) and then I am off to the mall for shoes for my sisters wedding and a birthday gift for a little girl in my sons class the party is Friday and well I have nothing for her . Be back later to .

hello homie mary.
good to see you again.



it is snowing here and has since this morning when i went to bed.
i am no longer wearing t tops and shorts
back to the long underwear.............

 

[loribell]

isn't great to see that number roll over!

You betcha!!!!!!

I need to try kool-aid. I have the soft drink house. When Kenny's friends get thirsty, they just walk in & help themselves to a soft drink out of the fridge. I think we must be the only house with soft drinks, which makes us the target house. If I try Kool-aid, maybe they'll go somewhere else.

I keep decaf tea in the house, no pop. Try that.

Or are you speaking from experience?

Does anyone know their last name? I'm starting to worry about her. I'm having horrible thoughts like the tanning bed may have caused a house fire or something. Is it normal for her to go this long w/o checking in?

She has been known to disappear for pretty long periods of time. Are we gonna start calling around like you guys did for me???? If anyone knows the last name I will find her.

I know you're not referring to me.

Nah, not you!

 

[macraven]

i'm gonna attempt to start laundry now.


only one son did laundry while we were gone.

the pile is more than knee high......




i'll be back.........

 

[macraven]

i have her name.

i'll try to get those papers out when my eyes focus and after i have had my 10th cup of kona coffee..........

 

[KStarfish82]

Afternoon everyone!!!

 

[loribell]

Geez I bet I have their name too in all the email/snail mail addresses I have. Duh!

Hi Katie!

i'll be back.........

in book, it's expected ; one can only hope it's the worst thing to find when you do come home, whilst ducking the sos calls from home when u are on vacation...we're saints i tell you

Marcie, sounds like you guys are having a good trip. Enjoy your family time.



Janet, chinese sounds great right about now. I'm embarrased to admit that my lunch was Penny's perfect food.

Where does you DH work? Feeding a furnace sounds kinda dangerous. Things aren't always as they seem though. I hope he enjoys the move.

He's a millhunk, works in a steel mill (they do still have them in Pittsburgh ). Not the open ladle/open hearth you see on tv, it's in a closed room/environment, supposedly for better safety & due to the type of steel they manufacture. Business is booming, they're the only company that makes steel used in resistors/transformers? that were destroyed after Katrina & also China is gobbling them up too-apparently, the country is in a building frenzy. When DH came out of service/school back in the late 70's, recession was in full force & it was akin to winning the lottery to snag one of the jobs there. Funny thing is most of the guys have a degree ; company can pick & choose...cause the $ are great...life is a series of trade-offs.

odd thing is yesterday, one of the outside drivers/sub-contractors had a coil of steel chained down wrong (suicide method instead of sideways = easier & faster way) on a flatbed; young girl who just got her license pulled out onto highway in front of him & it rolled up & over the cab...crushing the car & killing her. So, in a way he's glad not to have the responsibility anymore either....said he was sick of idiots cutting in front of him, guess peeps don't understand you can't stop 80,000 pds on a dime.

Geez I bet I have their name too in all the email/snail mail addresses I have. Duh!

Hi Katie!

knew i should've saved all those emails

off to make mac & cheese (kraft no less ) for the rest of the troops, i'm dealing with stomach distress from the chinese...bleech...it tasted good going down.

 

[Metro West]

don't even think that its worse than T-2 being closed

 

[roseprincess]

Hi all-

Tricia- so glad to hear Joshua is doing better

Mac- Welcome back
Not the best of weather today here. Bleh.
Any pics you want to share and show off your tan?
Glad you had a good vacation!


Welcome to all the new homies

I was going to take the kids out and drive to my DH's work and meet up for lunch, but it started snowing here and I really didn't want to drive in the mess, as I never drove to DH's new job before, as it is about 25 miles away.
Maybe tomorrow. Should be better weather tomorrow here. DH ended up being very busy at work anyways.

Thank you all for your concern about Chrissy and me. I never came down with the flu yet, knock on wood.
Thank you all about how long the drive is from St. Pete's to Orlando


Hi to all!

Gotta run.

 

[macraven]

worse than that, i'm having panic attacks about ROTM being closed, and my trip isn't til Sept!!! lol And thank you all for the welcomes!!!!!

if ROTM is closed when i get there oct, i will go loco...............
now i will have to increase my ocd meds.....


i adore that ride!

 

[macraven]

hi ya rose....

good to see you.

hope all are staying healthy at your home now.






yea, the snow was a bummer here for the town.
too much of it, very few places had the annual saturday easter egg hunt because of it.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Welcome RAPstar!


Good evening, Todd & Lawrence

I keep decaf tea in the house, no pop. Try that.

That's a good idea, except noone in our house drinks decaf tea. We'd be going to someone else's house to raid their fridge.

She has been known to disappear for pretty long periods of time. Are we gonna start calling around like you guys did for me???? If anyone knows the last name I will find her.

It makes me feel better knowing she's gone MIA for a few days before. This is the 1st time, since I've been here. Okay, I'll quit worrying & let her be MIA in peace.

Nah, not you!

I didn't think so!

That's horrible! That guy will have to live with that, when it wasn't really his fault. I feel that the girl's parents. I can't imagine what they must be going through.

I'm glad I asked about your DH's job. You're right I had the "made for TV" image in my mind. It sounds much less dangerous, & easier in reality. Booming business is a great thing. It's nice to have that job security.

Sorry, your chinese isn't being very friendly to your tummy.

he will fit in quite well here with us.

i do T2 every other visit.

What's going on with T2? I missed the memo.

Thank you all about how long the drive is from St. Pete's to Orlando

Hi Rose, I forgot to mention it in my post last night, but if you've never seen the Gulf, you may want to see it, while you're there. The airport is inland, but you can get to the Gulf in 30 min. It's very different from the Atlantic.
