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

[bubba's mom]

Morning all.....

Thanks Ro..., er I mean, DM....I needed that..... Can you hold it stopped just for today too?



Alison....that sounds like a plan to me

Anyhow.....just wanted to drop by before getting Bubba out the door for skool and runnin' to work myself.....

Hope you all have a GREAT FRIDAY!!!

Weekend is almost here!

 

[macraven]

to whomever invented be rude and take another call you think is more inportant call waiting - I HATE YOU

to whomever invented oh look who is on the other line caller id- I HATE YOU

MY CHAIN HAS BEEN YANKED FOR THE LAST TIME TODAY.


goodnight.

i guess it was solicitators, or a political automated call she was getting.

Today's car maybe, but back then you could do it. A friend ran a car lot and wanted me to drive a new car to Omaha. He didn't want the mileage to show up so he disconnected the cable to the odometer. The mileage didn't register but neither did the miles per hour. I got stopped in western Iowa for speeding and had to spend all the money my buddy paid me to drive the car on the ticket.
Mac, back when I was dating we drove Flintstone cars.

gee fletcher, i had you figured for about 42 years old.
you just burst my bubble.

Good morning. More like good night for me.

I cannot wait to get home and get in my Tempur Pedic. Mike is safely in the guest room (where the computer is) so I perhaps I'll see you guys later on in the evening.

Right now, I am just in countdown mode: 45 more days!

duct tape his door so he can't get out and you can sleep as long as you want to.






brab.........
yes, it is almost time for a day off.



going to work.
catch you later homies

 

[Motherfletcher]

gee fletcher, i had you figured for about 42 years old.

I was 42 once.

 

[Metro West]

Morning all...it's Friday at last!

The only thing that did right now was Janet's pic with DS and Donald. That was only 2 years ago? Wow! He has grown, hasn't he?! Great pic. We sail with Donald 5/3.

What? What day is it? I work straight through the weekend. Has that started yet? I guess I should go eat something. Mike and I are fighting over cars right now through email and Edmunds. I think I may have just agreed to something I have absolutely no intention of buying.

I don't often ask for pixie dust, but I need everyone to close their eyes and wish really, really hard that I have no failures tonight. I need a really easy night tonight.[/quote]

once we finally started to feed him, he sprouted

hmmm...sounds like a BMW or mercedes to me...they've got long waiting lists for this puppy in our 'burg (they say u can just pull it HEAD ON into a parking spot lol)

glad no issues @ work...45 days is , i can't wait to shout out 100

Hey Katie! I'll take some of that pixie dust! I'm gonna need it to get through track season! I ordered DS some track shoes today and got express (2 - 3 day) shipping on them....hopefully he will have them for his Tuesday track meet! I didn't have any luck finding any locally. It seems that since the schools around here provide (and our school has crappy ones) track shoes, the stores don't keep many in stock. The coach told Zack that he would have him a pair tomorrow....I'm not holding my breath. I guess he will run in his basketball shoes for practice until his NEW track shoes come in. I bet your school doesn't do their athletes that way with equipment.....I mean, if they don't have something decent, then just ask the parents to come up with some and don't give them something unsafe. Where is OSHA in the schools???? Or is there a safety organization for sports equipment in schools? I know....I'm ranting........

our skool doesn't provide any athletic shoes for any sport or equipment other than uniforms, pads, bats & balls (although the boosters will provide shoes TBD as to "needy" kids ). I told DS to skip track this year & concentrate on tennis (which required a bigger racket this year & balls...which i may try to buy in bulk on ebay?) Additionally, we are strong-armed for various booster programs...dinners, candy, monte carlo nights. After 3 kids in sports & PTA officer for 6 years-i'm burnt out, I just write a check, they can take it or leave it

youngest back to skool, need to break down an aquarium today...the last of the mohicans has passed to his happy hunting ground (i swear that fishie was ten years old ); not sure whether to keep it & add to the clutter or kick it to the curb?

have a great day campers!

Morning All!!!
It's Friday.

Fbean is off from school, Cbean gets out early again, Kbean is on a trip to the rollerskating rink with her class (gets out at regular time) and then they are off until the 25th. Not too sure whether I should be or I do know that next week is Spring Clean Out Time - I need to reclaim the living room (if I step on one more lego or knex I am gonna spit fire

DH took a "mental health day" today. He needed it. Must be nice to take a day off once in awhile

Penny - hope there is no chain yanking today I hate call waiting too.....rarely answer it myself.

Barb - take it easy today. Well, as easy as you can with your schedule. See you later tonight

Rose - hope Dad is better soon. What a rollercoaster ride you are on with this.

Sharon - that cartoon was too funny

Tammy - haven't even started yet, maybe today

mac - 70 buck to fill up? Yeah, mine is about 60 to fill......now if I only had an extra 60 laying around to FILL it up

P-fin and K-fed - this sisterly stuff is really cute Hope the days fly by until your mini spring break.

Jodie - here is hoping that you are comfortably snoozing - 44 days now

Janet - keep the aquarium (unless its huge) never know how much you will miss the fish and maybe want another one

Lori, Fletch, DM, Lawrence, Pixie, Tricia, Mary, Todd, Allison and any/all other homie out there:

HELLO TO YOU ALL AS WELL !!!!!!!

tracie - cool activity for DD i'd like a mental health day away from my home/asylum sometimes . Almost afraid to keep the "huge" aquarium for fear of what my DSs will bring home to fill it if they know i still have it.

many years ago, DS (pre-school age) went to the carnival with his older brothers. Proudly came home with a lizard he had won....grrr-whatever happened to golf fish?

We went to the pet store & I fainted when i found out how much it'd cost to equip him (heated rock) and the yucky crap i knew i'd wind up feeding it when i took over the care & feeding (always happens ).

We made a big production of letting him go free ; told my DS he was heading to FLA where it's always warm & sunny. Of course, his bros told him it'd be dead the 1st frost and he was crushed....hated to look @ that crestfallen face.

Fast forward a year or so to their 1st trip to WDW...what did they see all over the place...hundreds of the exact same lizard. i told DS that was proof that his lizard DID make it to FLA , he appeared to believe me...family joke now when we see them (nearly everywhere in FLA).

tricia - i smell pictures

off to deal with DH who is on afternoon shift, have a great day!

Court always tries to catch them and wants to bring one home.

We had one once - years ago, not cool feeding it live crickets

 

[ky07]

Good morning homies
Feeling a little better today I guess its this cold plus the fact I am trying so hard to quit smoking and once I can get my body use to it I should feel a whole lot better but at least I am down to about 8 a day

 

[loribell]

Morning everyone. I had to escape for a while this morning until oldest ds got out of the house to go to work. He is driving me nuts. Dh is driving me nuts. I think I should have stayed in Albuquerque. Now I have the house all to myself so all is good.

Penny - I hate call waiting too. I do not answer it. I do like to see who is calling though so I don't have to answer if it is a sales person.

Jodie - Glad your evening went well. Hope you are sleeping peacefully. Guess if you are leaving in 44 days I am pretty close to being 44! Ugh!

Tricia - Have fun with our boys today. It sounds like a neat thing to be able to do.

Tracie - Ally always wants to catch one too. Thankfully they are very fast little guys. Court is just so cute!

Janet - Cute story. Why do big brothers have to be such pita's? Glad you were able to convince him his little guy made it to Florida.

Barb - I think we should speed the world up instead of stopping it. That way vacation will get here sooner. Hope you make it through the day okay. After Alison shows you where the Kong tribute is maybe you can show us.

Alison - I hope the shoes get here in time for the track meet. It cooled of overnight here and I can't get warm. Hope the coolness misses you. I am really liking the 70+ temps.

Rose - Hope Chrissy, dad & mom are all doing well. You, dh & Matthew too!

Fletch - Morning! I remember dad having cars that coudl run the odometer backwards on. I think I would have let the friend pay the ticket.

DM - How is work going? So where is it you are again?

Lawrence - Hope you are feeling better. Try to cut down by one more today. You will feel so much better when you get it all out of your system. Maybe you need to find a place to do a good detox too. It will help.

Todd - How is the quitting going for you. Same advice, try to find a place to do a good detox.

DM & Todd - Have y'all heard anything about Aquaticus yet? I am so excited to take Ally there. She will love it.

Mary - Hope things are going well with the girls, the bed & everything else.

Tammie - How are you feeling today? I hope you feel better. Sorry, have never stayed in that area. The Shakespeare Festival sounds like fun.

Katie - I always want to call you Katie Bug cause that's what I call my niece. I won't do it though! How are things in your world? You have not updated us on any wedding planning lately. What is going on with that? How is df's neck?

Patty - Deadline time! Are you about done?

Sharon, Jennifer, Wendy - Where are you guys. Stop in to say hi so we know you are all okay.

Hi to anyone I missed!

Hey everyone!

Sneaking on for a quick break again today.

Worked 11 hours again yesterday and got home just in time to comb dd11's hair and run out the door for her spring band concert. Had to tape survivor but too late when we got home to watch, so I raced past Todd's post about the episode.

Working at the senior housing today. . .that's where my BIG project is. Been here 4 days this week and several days last week and another couple next week since it's a short week. . . driving me nuts. . . plus it's a 90 mile trip so I'm spending lots of time on the road and lots of time filling up my car

sorry that I haven't caught up. . .maybe this weekend. Noticed Lawrence is way down on his cigs. . . YEAH for you.

Hope everyone is ok. . . pm me if you need a hug or a good chuckle or something.

Here's a laugh for everyone real quick. . . went tanning Wednesday night with dh. We both go for only 7 minutes still since we are so very fair skinned and have only been a few times before this. . . so we go in, ask for the mega bed cuz they don't have new bulbs, get our 7 minutes and off we go. Following Barb's instructions, we had lotioned up before we left home and are doing things just right. . . so, I think I said before that dh and I had the discussion about tanning sans clothing and so he uses a towel to hide. . .well, ya know. . . things go fine, we run in wally world after tanning, run into my bro, race home for idol, which wasn't on until 8:00 Wed night anyway. . . so we are getting into comfy clothes and I noticed that I am FRIED. . . I mean my sides, hips, rear end and back are beet red and sore. Then I look over at dh, who is standing in the bathroom with this look on his face and I'm like, what's wrong. . .he turns around, in the buff and I FELL OUT LAUGHING . . . apparently they had put new bulbs in the mega beds we always use and DIDN'T TELL US. . so it's like we went 14 or 15 minutes. . . the entire front of dh is bright red. . .chest, belly, thighs. . .except for the square where the towel was which is completely white I seriously can not describe how hard I laughed, cried, howled, snorted, and sort of peed my pants. . . wait, I should have put that on another thread, right? Kidding about the peeing. . .so dh is like, well, what do I do. . .which made me laugh all over again. . . and I said, you can't DO anything. . .just have to even it out over the next few sessions. . perhaps you could wrap the, well, you know. . in something which made him start laughing. . . so then I tried to convince him to use a sock from now on which caused more hysteria. After a good 20 minutes of ROFLMAO we were both like, whew, that was a pretty good workout (no, not code). For those of you who needed it. . . hope you laughed

Oh, btw, the redness is going away but it's still funny every single time I see it, so you know he has to run around nakey every chance he gets so I will look at him and laugh. . . I'm laughing as I type and have to get back to work.

Thank you so much! I needed that!

 

[Metro West]

Still here at work

Come on 3:30!

 

[Metro West]

Todd - How is the quitting going for you. Same advice, try to find a place to do a good detox.

DM & Todd - Have y'all heard anything about Aquaticus yet? I am so excited to take Ally there. She will love it.

Well..I'm not really quitting right now...just cutting out smoking at work. I'll see how that goes and cross the quitting bridge when I get there.

A co-worker took his son to Aquatica during the Passholder weekend and loved it.

 

[yankeepenny]

went back for the interview today.

actually, i would like the job.
it is scanning and indexing files electronically and doing mail and answering phones and such. 3 hours a day. no strings attached. and , they did not care if i need to be out a couple of days to get the toe fixed. wont know anything until tuesday at the earliest. i told them i could cover extra in the summer for vacations and i dont take time off until sept and such. we shall see.


last nights rant was because i called someone long distance on my dime and my time. in one hand they are on a phone talking to me, and screening and answering calls on the other.

i think it is rude behavior, given that no one was dying and there was no emergency. that is all.


hope anyone getting easter basket stuff has luck and finds what they need. i picked up a few rabbits at the choc shop and will be mailing those and cards on monday.
going to go read world news now. i could not care less about eliot spitzer and the prostitute. HE got what he deserved.
she does not sound like a quality citizen.

 

[yankeepenny]

yes i am starving and have to go eat- new thread i started on cb board, what are your fav foods to eat.


hope you all can respond.

 

[keishashadow]

Your right and thats what I am telling my DW cause she keeps wanting me to go to the doctor but I tell her its just the withdrawl from my body not getting that much nicotine and its to be expected when you go from 40 cigs a day to 8 and told her it would get better it was just going to take time

 

[Akdar]

Checking in to say "Hello" to everyone, still in semi-lurk mode, have been keping up, just not a lot of time to post. This weekend won't be as crazy as the last with my schedule, so I should be here and about sometime through the weekend, well, gotta run.

Be well everyone, and have a nice weekend!!
