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

[tarheelmjfan]

Happy Monday everyone!!!

MY SON BOWLED A 300 ON THE WII A PERFECT GAME

for your DS. I'm sure he's very proud of himself. He should be.

Yeah...I think Kansas was lucky to win that game...Davidson played their butts off. That's the bad thing about the tournament...one loss and you're sitting a home.

The loss hurts that much more the further you make it too.

Please tell me all you know about mining where ever it would be best. What I had found was Gem Mountain in Spruce Pine & merald Hollow Mine in Hiddenite but I am open to suggestions.

Spruce Pine is the next town over from where I grew up. It's really up in the mtns. If Gem Mtn has river mining, I'm not aware of it. That doesn't mean they for sure don't though. It's one of those touristy things the locals never do, so I've never been. I'm not familiar with the Emerald Hollow Mine.

I found this site http://www.huntforgold.com/thermalcity2.htm. It's not too far from Spruce Pine, & isn't as far up into the mtns. You may want to check it out, & contact them to see if they offer what you're looking for.

Here's another site:http://www.luckystrikegoldandgem.com/goldprospecting.htm It's in Marion, which is between the two listed above. Again, I'm not personally familiar with it, but you may want to check into it. Coincidentally, my inlaws live in Marion. You'd think I'd know more about the activities there.

If you decide to go to any of these & are looking for other things to do, let me know. The mtns of NC are a nice place to visit in the summer. In the winter, not so much, unless you want to ski.

I know. Luckily my sis didn't get too upset.

I'm glad you were there for her. I'm sure it made her feel much better about others not showing up.

Why yes. . .I did! What's one to do when forced to go to Wally World after an evening of drinking. . . .

I know, fit right in? Yeah, that's the answer. . . .

I forgot to tell you about the stock people in the ice cream isle. . . I'll save that for another time. . . .

hhhhmmmmmm, could be why dh was irritated with me. . . I had forgotten about that part

Happy Anniversary! I'll be patiently waiting for "the rest of the story".

I guess that means it is one month until I am 44 too.

Our birthdays must be close together. Mine's in a little over a month.

As long as you don't pool hop @ WDW you're okay in my book! I've never done it, even though we're allowed to when staying on points; way too much effort imo. Nothing more irritating than trying to find a seat poolside & you find out that the peeps hogging the chairs are "just visiting"

We've never pool hopped at UO either. I agree, it's not worth the trouble to us.

I don't even park hop to often. It just takes to much time. Ah heck who am I kidding, we usually leave the park about noon and never go back!

Sounds like you visit the parks like we do. I haven't spent the entire day in a park in many years.

off to balance my books, wonder if i have any money left until payday , magic 8 ball sez: odds aren't in my favour

You sure that's not my books you're looking at?

Okay, just for that...

Have you run across one of the "green living" discussions on the CB? The most exteme discussions I've read contain references to not using toilet paper. Instead, they have a "family cloth". Go ahead. Google it. I dare ya.

Did that gross you out? Want more? Try googling "diva cup" or "glad rags".

I've seen posts like that on here before. IMHO, that's totally disgusting. Can you imagine going to visit some of those people.

besides, I'm supposed to be workin'

That's okay! We won't tell.

sign up for spark.com and you can use the charts there and chat groups for help. lots of receipes are posted there also.

I've never seen that site. I'm going to check it our & see if I can find some inspiration.

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE SECOND THE MOTION THAT TRICIA NEEDS TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT DAMN THREAD AND STOP POSTING THE GROSSNESS/ABSURDITIES/IRREGULARITIES AND JUST PLAIN STUPIDITY THAT GOES ON OVER THERE?? I keep wanting to vomit.......


and yes- i have a 24 pack of tp on hand, and when i get to 12 rolls, i buy another 24

I AGREE IT IS ALL TOO GROSS .

Ok so off to clean up fom dinner and do the lunch thing for the morning I will be back later .

Thanks for the links. I will check them out and see what they offer. We won't be doing anything other than the mining, except eating, if we go to those areas. We are going to do it for a couple of days then head on to Orlando.

Our birthdays must be close together. Mine's in a little over a month.

Mine is the 3rd. When is yours?

Sounds like you visit the parks like we do. I haven't spent the entire day in a park in many years.

Yep. We go for a few hours then go back to the hotel to relax & swim. It started out as us just leaving to go rest for a while and we ended up not feeling like getting ready & going out again. Now we just plan not to go back.

We are trying something different this trip. We are going to go to the MK & AK each twice in the morning. Other than that we are not setting an alarm. We plan to try out the pm emh's. Of course at Uni we will just come and go as we please. Things are a little different there!

Wendy I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you! It is amazing how strong you have been. Even better the whole family is loosing weight!!!! Way to go!

Evening everyone!

 

[ky07]

Did anyone see what happened at Wrestlemania last night when some fireworks fell into the crowd.
DW was talking to DS and almost freaked out when he told her cause she thought he was in it but he was closer to the stage

wendy - u are doing good girl!

tammy - we have pool hopped @ Universal/Royal Pacific - because the pool was shut down due to "accident" ; as was the HRH also in June . At least we got to see how the othe half live @ both PBH pools

janet, i still have those cat pictures you posted today from he time you sent them to me about 3 years ago.

i loved them then and still love them now.

no wonder i thought they were funny, i'm in a loop ala groundhog day

to break outta my rut, my new do (take it easy on me here...4 months of roots, no makeup & just took curling iron to the ends-think it's decent...just a little tight drying naturally - it should loosen up ) PS thanks to barb for giving me the law to lay down to hairdresser

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Mine is the 3rd. When is yours?

May 3rd??? So is mine! How cool is that.

We don't even attempt to make a morning EMH. The evening EMHs are more our style. At WDW, we go to the parks a while in the morning, then leave when it gets hot. We usually chill for awhile, then shower & get ready for dinner. We either have dinner at a hotel, or in Epcot, so we're rarely in the other parks at night. Every few years, we'll watch the nighttime entertainment at the other parks, but not every trip. Strangely, we love the World Showcase atmosphere at night, but Illuminations is our least favorite nighttime show. At UO, the only difference is that Kenneth & Kenny run back & forth to ride another ride or two, while I'm getting ready.

Hi Katie!

Oh my! How scary that must have been for her. Has he made it home yet?

This was your perm? I think it (& you) look fabulous!

May 3rd??? So is mine! How cool is that.

I have a birthday twin! To kewl! Oops, I mean triplet. I believe Mary's dd's sweet 16 is the 3rd also!

We used to do a couple of morning emh's. Finally decided it was not worth it to get everyone out of bed. As I said though, this will be our first year to do primarily evenings in the parks. I am anxious to see how it works out.



Hi Todd!

Yeah when my DS told DW I went there to check it out and I think WWE is going to get a few lawsuits out of this one or blame it on the steroids sorry bad joke

 

[Metro West]

Hi Todd!

Good evening Lori...hope you're doing well.

 

[ky07]

No hes not home yet Lori but he said they will be tomorrow or wensday and can't be soon enough cause DW is worrying herself to death and my allergies is acting up eyes itching and swelling so don't know I guess I am just stressing too much

 

[KStarfish82]

Hey Todd....maybe you have answered this question before, but do you live at Metro West?

 

[loribell]

Good evening Lori...hope you're doing well.

I am doing fabulous! How about you?

No hes not home yet Lori but he said they will be tomorrow or wensday and can't be soon enough cause DW is worrying herself to death and my allergies is acting up eyes itching and swelling so don't know I guess I am just stressing too much

Breathe in, breathe out! Kids!


Hey Katie, where are you guys staying this time? What all is on the agenda?

 

[keishashadow]

thanks guys! lori - it was alot curlier before i took the curling iron to it here & there already starting to spring back lol. Once it settles down i hope to just let it go wild

DH was in charge of dinner tonight (only working until 4; got home before me) on his menu: X-lg pizza, 2 steak hoagies, a gyro & order of bread sticks...can't believe we almost ate the whole thing - groan

DWTS is a bit of a snooze tonight

 

[wwessing]

Janet - I like your hair. I liked it before though too, when it was long and straight. But now you will be able to do alot with it. I keep thinking I want to cut my hair so I can do lots with it. . .but then I don't want to spend the time styling.

Dh says DO NOT CUT YOUR HAIR. . . as if he's the one who takes care of it So I'm going to my stylist in 3 weeks. . . I have not had a hair cut in (Barb, close your eyes) 2 years. I cut my own bangs, but nothing else has been cut, so it's definitely time and I'm sitting on my own hair. Everyone laughs at me cuz I'm always shutting it in car doors, pulling it when I sit down, getting it caught on things then I walk a foot before I realize it's caught and snap my head back. . . yeah, real funny. . .

Anyway, I bet you will like it more and more as it loosens up and you get to messing around with different styles.

 

[Metro West]

Hey Todd....maybe you have answered this question before, but do you live at Metro West?

I used to live in MetroWest...hence the user name. I bought a house in 2005 and now live about 15 mins north of there.

I am doing fabulous! How about you?

Not bad...just chatting and looking at another message board site I used to post on.

i always get mine cut when it falls into the toilet water when i am in the bathroom.



i got mine cut last month.
it only goes to the waist now.



my dh hates long hair with a passion.
he begs me to cut it to 3 inches in length

when i get cuts, i always sign the papers for locks of love donation at my salon
