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

[t-and-a]

Hey Homies!
I hope everyone is having a pleasant evening!
Rose, I'm sorry to hear about your dad; blood clots are nothing to mess with. I hope they are taking good care of him.

Lori, it has been warm here today and our snow was really not much to sneeze at. I think they let school out early on Friday just because it had been so long since we got any snow at all and there was actually a little accumulation on the ground, but they wouldn't let the poor kids go play in it...

Great Cliff Notes Barb! You do deserve a Golden Homie of your own!

Hey MAC! You didn't think I'd be one of the first to invade the new digs, huh?

Tricia, I loved the chocolate bunnies!!!

Hey Tracie, Jodie, Todd, Mike, Wendy, Jennifer, Fletch, DM, Damo, Tammy, Katie, Patty (P-Finn), Sharon, Janet, Penney, Marcie, Janet, Mary, Lawrence, Pixie...I hope I didn't forget anyone!

My internet service has been sucking since Monday night! We have AT&T DSL and home phone service. The telephone is completely OUT and the internet is SLOW!!! But, hey at least it's not OUT! I reported the problem on Tuesday morning and they said it would be up and running again by THURSDAY at 8 PM!!!!! Now that's what I call service!!!

Oh, Zack (DS14) has started track season and he had told me that the coach was ordering track shoes for them.....well he got his yesterday....they were not new at all. They were missing about half of the metal spikes and they were very well worn. Yesterday, I went to the ONLY sports store in town to try to find him a new pair, and they had two styles of track shoes and not one pair in a size 11!Today, while he was running, the sole came off one of the shoes .....The coach told him that he would try to find him another pair....He has a meet on TUESDAY!!! I guess I am going to either have to order him a pair or go to Texarkana (30 miles away) sometime this weekend and get him a pair.

Loribell, I spent a week with DH and his family visiting in Albuquerque and Santa Fe years ago. The best d@mn mexican food I ever ate was in that state.
It was a fantastic place to visit , and is on my to do again list.


for an alternative to Disney next year, the year we move, i priced out a few cruises. for those prices, we can stay at a deluxe Dis resort and do the meal plan and.......
anyway, you can probably tell which i am aiming for. seriously. i really liked the beach club. i knew it the nite we went over from the swolphin for dinner. DH liked it too. just not the 305 a nite prices. i also want a private jet and part ownership in the Yankees, and neither is happening in my lifetime.

So did you find the Mexican food in Santa Fe or Albuquerque? The place we ate at was fantastic. It was called Cervantez. We walked in and it really reminded us of Cheers, it was very small. Well my sister went to the bathroom and came back laughing, told me I had to go look. Well this place was huge on the other side that you couldn't even tell was there. It just went on and on and on.

Oh and have you ever considered trying to rent points from a DVC member? If you didn't mind moving if you were staying for a Friday & Saturday you could get a studio for 13 or 14 points a night. They usually go for $10 - $12 dollars a point. Not bad for the Beach Club.

No prob about cheering against my boys...just don't let it happen again Hehe Anyway, awesome for crashing the wedding!! I'm the MOH, oh and best of all, if Matt can't go for the tasting, guess who's next in line...oh yes, that would be ME!!!



Checking in for the evening....

Would like to get a free haircut at Supercuts, too bad I just got home from work now. Oh wait, Katie, who introduced you to this deal?? "Ehem"

Oh no, I was told I couldn't copy her new ticker! I wonder if that also stands for not copying her messages

We will be neutral when it comes to swimming against each other. Crashing the wedding is going to be fun!

 

[loribell]

Helllooo people. I am totally PUI. Have been for the last hour or so. Don't know how it happened. Well, I mean, I know HOW it happened... duh... jhust that I didn't set out to get a good buzz on.

Anyway, I'm watching that horrible show on Fox where they ask life screwing personal questions and then do the truth or lie thing. Fascinating. Who would do that? It reminds me of Temptation Island, which I also watched. Itls even the same host. Hmmmmm.

So, I walked the dog in my pajamas earlier. It was still daylight. I live on a busy highway in a small town. That may not have been the smartest thing I've ever done.

I love you guys!

Gee, I missed this earlier. Probably shouldn't walk the dog in town in your jammies! Glad you are getting to relax though! Love you too!

Well at least the kids got to go out in it a little once they got home. They were talking about you guys in Albuquerque.

I think Barb needs a Golden Homie Award too! Thanks again Barb!

Good luck finding the shoes. Hope the others hold out until then. And good luck to the ds in the meet.

 

[loribell]

I am so sorry I forgot you Jennifer. I know it has to be a subconcious tax thing. On top of everything else I am dealing with getting the tax stuff together. UGH!

So how are you? Is ds having friends over this weekend or was it last weekend? How was Hairspray? See I really did know what was going on with you, at least a little.

 

[t-and-a]

Gee, I missed this earlier. Probably shouldn't walk the dog in town in your jammies! Glad you are getting to relax though! Love you too!

They already broke! The sole came completely off one while he was running today.... Thanks for the good luck wishes! They have him running the 800 meter, and I wish they would change him to 400. He can beat all the boys in the 400, but he's got to build up his endurance for the 800, because one boy can beat him in that one (but it could have been the crappy shoes too...). Zack can run like the wind, but we gotta get him some good shoes!!!

 

[loribell]

Oh yeah, my kids are on Spring Break next week.

 

[loribell]

Now that I have accomplished something I am going to bed! Night everyone!

Nite Lori!

 

[bubba's mom]

Update.
My dad is back in the hospital

Hope she and Dad are feeling better... best place for him to be is the hospital....blood clots are serious....

We gots a Romper Room? I wanna go play!

I wanna take a nap! (i brought my mat )

Oh, yeah. He was guilty. We deliberated for several hours. There were a few wussies on the jury that didn't want to convict him because he was a "nice old guy". Since when did that matter?

When the agent did the deal with him (wired), he told him what he intended to do with the credit card numbers. Here's what I found interesting. It is perfectly legal for companies to sell your personal information (including credit card numbers), as long as it is for the purpose of building a "customer profile" (i.e. learning how much credit you have available, etc). The agent clearly stated that he intended to take the numbers and run false transactions on them, pocket the money, and run. Selling him the numbers knowing he was going to use them illegally made it a crime. Guilty.

What a moron......

Waiting for cbean's new bedroom stuff. finally a functioning dresser to put her clothes in I will be painting/rearranging/cleaning her room out in the next few days

Congrats! Take before and after pix!!! Guess no pui for you this weekend...heck, we'll be lucky if ya come home all weekend....

 

[dolPhinlovEr83]

Well, I've done a ton of yearbook pages this week, and a whole load more to go! I tell ya, the fun just never ends! Hehe

Have a great night y'all!!!

 

[bubba's mom]

as you can see, i lost interest and motivation in cleaning the dump this morning.

ppphhbbbbttttt....who cares?! I don't mind the mess.... if I did, I woulda moved out long ago....

HEY! I'm a younger sister and I don't drool! Unless I'm sleeping... or really drunk...

See? You ADMIT you drool

Morning Mac!

I have to do something in my house too. I'm thinking of hiring one of those little bobcat bulldozer things...

Did I mention I bought us a new 'car' today?

We'll be having corned beef and cabbage here on Monday too.

Green beer story. I went to somebody's St Pat's Day party many, many years ago. They had green beer. I don't drink beer, but I brought my own rum and had a fine time. A friend of mine at the time, Sarah, grabbed me and said she needed to use the bathroom... and would I help her find it. 'Kay. We stumble through the house and find a bathroom and lock ourselves in. She sits, pees, and as she is turning around to flush she screams, "OH NO! Look! I've had too much green beer! I'm peeing green!" We both panic for a minute (remember we're young and drunk). She finally flushes and she's getting all teary eyed wondering if she needs to see a doctor. When I go to use the bathroom I said, "Look! It's not you! They must have one of those toilet bowl thingys that turns the water green."

Even drunk, how did we not know that? I mean, seriously.

First...I think we are one of the few people NOT having corned beef this weekend Prolly have pizza tho

Second.... that story.... Geniuses.....

New furniture? What's that like?

Most of our furniture came in boxes and we had to build it.

I wuz wonderin' what all the boxes in your room were from

can i borrow the bull dozer when you are done with it????

I will have a busy, busy weekend... so a heads up that I may not check in for a few days.

Joshua is off school on Friday, so I'll use that day to run them down to the little city and get the boys hair cut and pictures with the Easter Bunny.

Saturday is the Easter Eggstravaganza on the town square. Breakfast with the Easter Bunny and Cabbage Patch Kids... egg hunt... parade... bouncy rooms, slides, crafts... all that crap. I am not looking forward to it.

Some how I have to get my big cleaning and Easter dinner shopping done in there. I also have to get St Patrick's dinner and come up with green food to send with Joshua to school on Monday for their class party.

I won't continue to bore you guys with my list, lets just say I am starting to panic a little.

Good luck with that....sounds like you're gonna need it ....oh, and don't worry about cleaning...you have next week for that

Hi. Hello.
Sounds like everyone has lots of Easter and St. Paddy's day plans.

nope

When you are done with the bulldozers, my house needs one too. Will we get a tri-state discount?

Can I just say I posted on the CB to see if anyone has a Mazda CX-9 or a Nissan Murano. Those are 2 of the cars that Mike and I can agree on right now. The 2 people who responded? Were just posting to say they didn't have either. They have Fords. Huh?

Guess their Ma never told 'em if they didn't have anything nice to say, don't say anything Which are you leanin' more towards???

hey.

went for the interview. the woman said wednesday at 12 noon. i repeated it.

i get there, and she says , i have you down for friday.
i smiled very nicely and let her off the hook and said, i must have written it down wrong. within 20 seconds of talking to her i decipered from her disheveled clothing and her running that she was very disorganized. I said i will see you friday at twelve noon. have a nice afternoon.

Sorry Penny...that sux Like ya said, prolly not a place ya wanna work at anyway..... Still wishin' ya luck!

Is it too early to wish you guys a Happy Easter?

First:

Second: How did the earless bunny know to say "what" if he couldn't hear the other one in the first place??

 

[bubba's mom]

Okay, I give up. I copied everything to respond to it last night.

I will go back and re-respond to the cliff notes Barb gave me. But I am sorry, there just isn't any way I have the time to do it all over again.

Have I said that I hate computers?????

Well....why do you think I gave you cliff notes??? To use 'em.....

Yes, I think you have mentioned you hate computers....by the way, how did you make out at Best Buy?? Are your problems related to having it there to be 'fixed'?

Barb,
I'm finally getting around to reading Jodie's HHN trippie, between games. (Sorry Jodie! I know I'm extremely slack in my reading. ) Anyway, I noticed she gave you advice for purchasing beer. Have you checked Cruise Critic or elsewhere to see if you'll be allowed to bring it on? Some cruiselines allow it, & some don't. Some will even go through checked luggage in search of spirits (no, not ghosts). It would stink, if they made you leave it behind.

PS: I know you're always up on everything, but I thought I'd be a dutiful friend & ask anyway.

We are doing Disney Cruise Line...they don't allow it, but don't enforce it either.. .... Hopefully we are staying within walking distance of a store to walk to and pick some beer up (maybe wine..if we don't get it when we first get to Orlando). I thought there was a convenience store next to the Country Inn & Suites that we're staying at, but I was wrong....Jodie....when you go, keep an eye out for what's near the CI&S....if ya remember (if not, no biggie....) Not really concerned with a lot of beer/wine....I CAN do without and purchasing a couple each day will not break the bank....same with number of beers DH would consume..... We have 1 day in Nassau, 2 days at Castaway Cay.....plan on being on the boat most of the Nassau day and on CC all day both days (snorkeling).... Thanks for being my dutiful friend!

order a pizza.

you can just tell mac will be wearing orange on Monday

I will be wearing green , red white and blue, medium blue, and yellow black and gold.

And I will be wearing either black OR yellow.... whichever shirt is clean

i am one of those weirdos that will eat chicken 8 days a week.

1. TF??
2. Actually, chicken is very good for you....protein

quick 'ello, jr wound up sleeping for 4 hours last night, had a cup of soup; went back to bed & i woke him up this morning @ 11:30 checking to see if he was still breathing...on the couch all day, managed to eat some ho-made chicken soup...starting to move around...them youngins bounce back quick like. Knew he was sick when he whipped out the nunchuk & tried to practice the Super Smash Bros & got dizzy-wound up quitting.

Sounds like flu Janet Funny how ya know they're sick if video games are OUT!

 

[bubba's mom]

Got a free haircut at Supercuts...nothing exciting, just a trim but it was free

....uh.....why?

Helllooo people. I am totally PUI. Have been for the last hour or so. Don't know how it happened. Well, I mean, I know HOW it happened... duh... jhust that I didn't set out to get a good buzz on.

Sorry I missed it.....

Anyway, I'm watching that horrible show on Fox where they ask life screwing personal questions and then do the truth or lie thing. Fascinating. Who would do that? It reminds me of Temptation Island, which I also watched. Itls even the same host. Hmmmmm.

I've seen those shows....wondering what moron would do the "truth" show IF they had something to hide??? HELLO???? ANYBODY HOME???

So, I walked the dog in my pajamas earlier. It was still daylight. I live on a busy highway in a small town. That may not have been the smartest thing I've ever done.

I love you guys!

Okay.... walking the dog in jammies...not so bad..... As long as you mean "a top and separate bottom/pants" pajamas and NOT a 'nightie' type pajama...

Thanks for making all us newbies feel welcome! I am reading through all the trip reports and hope I can write one as highly entertaining as those I have read!

Glad we are inspiring Everyone is welcome here....we are one great big happy family....

Okay I am really getting mad. I have now tried to tell about my weekend 4 times! My pages keeps resetting on me and dumping everything I have typed. I am going to try one more time!

Now it was nothing exciting. Just a great weekend anyway with no kids!

Some strange things, at least to me. I never thought I would see a cactus growing beside a cedar tree. Or see snow on a cactus for that matter. How about snow on the southern mountains but not on the northern mountains? There were very few Mexican restaurants in Albuquerque???? In fact there weren't many restaurants at all.

So we left Friday morning at about 6:00. We pulled in to Albuqerque about 2:30 and checked in to our hotel. I actually pricelined it for the first time ever. We got a very nice room at a Comfort Inn for $30 a night! We then headed over to the convention center and set up our booth. It took about an hour and then we were free for the evening. We had good food at Applebee's but bad service.

We spent all day Saturday & Sunday at the convention center. We were there for World Wellness Weekend. It was by far the bast convention we have ever attended. The quality of people attending the convention were very concerned about their health and new what to expect. We made a lot of great contacts. We had a lot of people interested in our product and a lot of people interested in our business. There was a psychologist and a acupuncturist that want to join our business so they can refer people to us. People from other booths were sending people to us. It was unbelievable. We were both very pleased with the outcome.

I also got to have a nice free massage & a magical shoulder healing done. I could not believe how well it worked. I have been having problems with my left shoulder for 7 years now. I know the pain is not gone permanently but it is gone for now. I was hurting so bad Sunday before I had it done I was actually trying to determine if I was having a heart attack. My left arm was hurting all the way down and my fingers were numb. I sat down and the lady rubbed my back lightly then went straight to that shoulder. It was wonderful.

I wish we would have had time to hear some of the speakers but we were swamped. And that was much better!

Saturday evening we ate at Applebee's again. It was all we could really find that didn't have an hour long wait or more. Guess Friday's service wasn't too bad cause Saturday's was much worse! Sunday evening the hotel directed us to a small Mexican restaurant. It was fabulous! They had some very hot salsa! Wonderful, fun waiter too!

We got up Monday morning and headed home. We got home in time to head to Mikey's ball game.

So that was my weekend. Nothing exciting but good for us. And best of all I got away without any kids for the first time in over a year!!!!!!

I bet you are all glad you waited for that!

Sounds like a wonderful little getaway....even if it was work related (which, by the way, exactly what is that anyway ) That was wonderful you were able to get that pain worked out of your shoulder....let's hope the results last for awhile! Is the "magic shoulder" a 'technique' or product? Was this the same sister you take pix for...or different sis? Don't worry about ketchup....you did great!!!!

i remember holy week in the 70's.

When ya think about it....a lot has changed over the years..... ...amazing isn't it??? Bubba is amazed we grew up without computers....

Oh no, I was told I couldn't copy her new ticker! I wonder if that also stands for not copying her messages

....which, I meant to mention to KFed...I likes the new ticker

 

[bubba's mom]

Hey Homies!

Hey yourself!!! Glad you're feelin' better....

Great Cliff Notes Barb! You do deserve a Golden Homie of your own!

Can't get one for myself...that's just wrong....I only GIVE 'em

Oh, Zack (DS14) has started track season and he had told me that the coach was ordering track shoes for them.....well he got his yesterday....they were not new at all. They were missing about half of the metal spikes and they were very well worn. Yesterday, I went to the ONLY sports store in town to try to find him a new pair, and they had two styles of track shoes and not one pair in a size 11!Today, while he was running, the sole came off one of the shoes .....The coach told him that he would try to find him another pair....He has a meet on TUESDAY!!! I guess I am going to either have to order him a pair or go to Texarkana (30 miles away) sometime this weekend and get him a pair.

Uh....what? WHY would the COACH order track shoes??? That doesn't make sense to me....(or is this a normal thing for where you live?) AND, why weren't they NEW??? I hope you didn't have to pay for them.... the way I'm reading the story is: Coach orders shoes, they are used, parents haveta buy NEW anyhows.... I'm really baffled as to why they would order used/defective shoes...just not makin' sense....then again, I really am tired right now....

I am so sorry I forgot you Jennifer.

So how are you?

How was Hairspray?

I think it's CRUNCH TIME for our Jennifer ..... Hey homie...if you're out there....leave a message on the machine to let us know you are still hangin' on

= Patty

Guess the game is "on" now.....

 

[t-and-a]

Hey yourself!!! Glad you're feelin' better....

Thanks! I've about lost my voice, but I'm makin' it....

Can't get one for myself...that's just wrong....I only GIVE 'em

Well, if I was as talented and creative as you and Randy, I'd come up with one and give to you, so here's a little something:

Uh....what? WHY would the COACH order track shoes??? That doesn't make sense to me....(or is this a normal thing for where you live?) AND, why weren't they NEW??? I hope you didn't have to pay for them.... the way I'm reading the story is: Coach orders shoes, they are used, parents haveta buy NEW anyhows.... I'm really baffled as to why they would order used/defective shoes...just not makin' sense....then again, I really am tired right now....

Well, the coach didn't actually "order" shoes. I didn't have to pay anything for them, but I would have if they would have been ordering NEW shoes. They had a stash of track shoes that they have kept for years (obviously) and he was taking down sizes to bring to the kids....Zack thought he was getting their sizes so that he could order them some, but NO! I sure would have already had some for him had I known they were giving them the REJECTS!!!!! The middle school boys always get the bottom of the bucket and since Zack wears an 11, they would most likely have come from the high school reject bucket. The coaches in our school district don't seem to care much about developing their athletes. Jodie's "RIP" term applies to our coaches. I think they are just there to draw a check and not to make a difference. I have a child who I think could really be a star at track. They were supposed to have a meet yesterday (the day that my son got his funky track shoes), but it was cancelled. Can you imagine what it would have been like if he had been running a race and his sole came flying off his shoe? It was like this during football season with his pads. They gave him hip pads that had exposed metal on them. I duct taped them and I guess that embarrassed the coaches enough that they gave him a decent set. I could go on and on about our athletic program.......

 

[macraven]

you can just tell mac will be wearing orange on Monday

you bet i am

I have english (UK) ancestry in me on my mothers side. I traced my mothers maiden name line back to the dude that immigrated in the 1700s. I have no catholic in me that I'm aware of, but who knows.

I do corned beef and cabbage for St Pats and ham (and a turkey) for Easter.

Does that make me normal, bad, or weird? I dunno. I just cook it and eat it cause I like it.



Or there is another option for you.



I'm glad your DS is doing some better.

You scrub your WALLS? Seriously? Oh my. I have to rethink my cleaning process.

i do
i thought everyone scrubbed their walls.......

No prob about cheering against my boys...just don't let it happen again Hehe Anyway, awesome for crashing the wedding!! I'm the MOH, oh and best of all, if Matt can't go for the tasting, guess who's next in line...oh yes, that would be ME!!!



Checking in for the evening....

Would like to get a free haircut at Supercuts, too bad I just got home from work now. Oh wait, Katie, who introduced you to this deal?? "Ehem"

Oh no, I was told I couldn't copy her new ticker! I wonder if that also stands for not copying her messages

yea, we are crashing the wedding.
maybe we should say groom side when they seat us so know one will know..

Hey Homies!
I hope everyone is having a pleasant evening!
Rose, I'm sorry to hear about your dad; blood clots are nothing to mess with. I hope they are taking good care of him.

Lori, it has been warm here today and our snow was really not much to sneeze at. I think they let school out early on Friday just because it had been so long since we got any snow at all and there was actually a little accumulation on the ground, but they wouldn't let the poor kids go play in it...

Great Cliff Notes Barb! You do deserve a Golden Homie of your own!

Hey MAC! You didn't think I'd be one of the first to invade the new digs, huh?

Tricia, I loved the chocolate bunnies!!!

Hey Tracie, Jodie, Todd, Mike, Wendy, Jennifer, Fletch, DM, Damo, Tammy, Katie, Patty (P-Finn), Sharon, Janet, Penney, Marcie, Janet, Mary, Lawrence, Pixie...I hope I didn't forget anyone!

My internet service has been sucking since Monday night! We have AT&T DSL and home phone service. The telephone is completely OUT and the internet is SLOW!!! But, hey at least it's not OUT! I reported the problem on Tuesday morning and they said it would be up and running again by THURSDAY at 8 PM!!!!! Now that's what I call service!!!

Oh, Zack (DS14) has started track season and he had told me that the coach was ordering track shoes for them.....well he got his yesterday....they were not new at all. They were missing about half of the metal spikes and they were very well worn.

I guess I am going to either have to order him a pair or go to Texarkana (30 miles away) sometime this weekend and get him a pair.

oh please...........ugh.......i have dsl/ at&t also.
i typed responses to the last 5 pages and it all disappeared.
said some error.

i went thru 3-4 days trying to get service to run correctly.
finally called apple and they took care of it.

Gee, I missed this earlier. Probably shouldn't walk the dog in town in your jammies! Glad you are getting to relax though! Love you too!



Well at least the kids got to go out in it a little once they got home. They were talking about you guys in Albuquerque.

I think Barb needs a Golden Homie Award too! Thanks again Barb!

Good luck finding the shoes. Hope the others hold out until then. And good luck to the ds in the meet.

i wondered the same about our gal.....

i second that.
brab needs a goldie now for the cliff notes...

 

[macraven]

what the heck...........

i redid the entire posting and most of it isn't here.


and i said some great things to brab.........

now if i could only remember what i wrote the first time..........

 

[t-and-a]

Oh yeah, and before track season started, I asked Zack to find out if I needed to buy any special kind of shoes and he told me not to worry about it, that the school provided them. I had to buy his football cleats, but the school provided the uniform and pads.
