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

[bubba's mom]

HA!

Actually, Joshua told Daniel that he had a banana peel on his head and Daniel spent the next 5 minutes with his hand on his head, running to me and saying, "Mommy! Get nana OFF!"

Now, that was kinda funny.

yeah...i can picture that



Okay....believe it or not, I just finished registering Bubba for FALL soccer That's right, I said FALL

Here we go again...what am I getting myself into....again??

To Those of You Born
1930 - 1979


TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight.

WHY?

Because we were always outside, playing...that's why!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times,we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!



These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers problem solvers and inventors ever.

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are one of them? CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.



Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?

We did one early, one late. Didn't work out too well with the late one....WE are 'night owls', Bubba was/is morning person....you can guess the rest.... he wanted to go 'home' at 11pm (he was 6 at the time) The early EMH worked out perfectly! We were at MK the day before Hurricane Charley came and we did the EMH morning and had done Fantasyland and Tomorrowland within the first hour the park was open! Worked like a charm! However, now he's older, I think he'd prefer the later EMH.... he can handle it much better and if he's up till midnight or so, he WILL sleep in in the morning

We are going to do the MK pm emh and try to stay till 2! Now that should be fun.

you post on another message board? You are cheating on us????

He did say that he "used" to post on. We stole him away!!! Cause were special! Who wouldn't love us!!!!

Wrestlemania was awesome!

I am so glad you checked in. And had a great time. And are safe.

i think he had to work today.
he probably worked and then went to bed early.
i'm sure he will be here soon.

darkie, hear that, check in soon.

He was good. He checked in. Of course with that happening, and him knowing there are worry warts here he should have checked in earlier!

i met bonny and lee, jodie and todd last year.

i have met up with phamton over the past years also.
we did hang out one night before i went over to UO last year.
so much fun...........shhhhhh

met up with marcie and her family twice at six flags during last summer.


my goal is to meet all of you homies out there someday.

we need to plan a get together.
i say we make it at damo's house.
when we find out she will be in canada, we'll plan the party then....

You mean Damo doesn't get to come? It looks like I may be getting to meet Barb, Lawrence, Todd, DM, Bev & Tricia this summer!

Mac is kewl!!

Mac is a super special person.

how am i going to sleep tonight when darkie leaves us hanging like that......



gnight all

He is good at that!

Good morning and Happy April Fools Day!

HAPPY APRIL 1ST!

I totally forgot it was April Fool's Day. Have a happy one everyone!

Well guys...Im off to Liverpool once again!! Not sure when I'll be back as Im working full time over summer so not sure when I get time off to visit!

For anyone who has holidays...esp to Universal...have a fab time!!

Good luck...have fun...work hard blah blah blah


xxxxxxxxx

I'm gonna miss you. Be safe and try to check in with us every once in a while. Hopefully you will be able to get home soon.

Morning.

My ears are still ringing from Penny yelling at me. I said it was gross. I left it up to you to Google it. Not my fault if you DID... it is?

I ate about half a biscuit for breakfast. I still can't get much food in. Yesterday I ate a grilled cheese sandwich and some mashed potatoes. I weigh 5 pounds less than I did on Friday, which should be a good thing, but since I know that it is just the kind of weight loss that will come right back as soon as I eat... pfffft... who cares.

It is April Fools Day. Joshua has already informed me that I have a frog on my head, a banana peel on my head, and a pancake on my head.

It's gonna be a looooong day.

Maybe the weight will stay off. Think positive!

Joshua is just too cute!

 

[loribell]

Yes - I am around - the couch did not swallow me up.

Trying to get back in to some sort of functioning human being today. The girls have the PSSA testing this week (standardized testing). Can you believe they actually had a pep rally for this thing last week

Way back in the day we were just told about having the STS testing and to bring in 4 sharpened #2 pencils.

Whatever.

Fbean is being a real PITA right now, let me feed him this stinking soup he keeps asking for and I will be back (um - he had breakfast about an hour ago - growth spurt anyone???)

Are you still having sinus headache problems?

A pep rally for testing? Yeah I bet that got the kids all pumped up!

He wants soup? In the morning? Yeah he must be growing. Sorry he is being a PITA!

Little kids sure love April Fools Day.

I remember one year my daughter's Grade 1 teacher wrote on the board that it was her last day. Of course, it was an April Fools Day joke but my daughter cried all day even after the teacher explained it to her. Needless to say, the teacher never tried that one again!

How awful. Poor baby, I bet she was devastated. What was that teacher thinking?

By the way....you've got a Daniel on your head....

You kill me!

Yes, the concept of pulling a prank is a little murky at this age.

He just told me I have a tomato under my hat and then laughed himself silly because... I'm not even wearing a hat!

Again, he is just too cute!

HA!

Actually, Joshua told Daniel that he had a banana peel on his head and Daniel spent the next 5 minutes with his hand on his head, running to me and saying, "Mommy! Get nana OFF!"

Now, that was kinda funny.

Okay....believe it or not, I just finished registering Bubba for FALL soccer That's right, I said FALL

Here we go again...what am I getting myself into....again??

Will you ever learn? I know you gotta do it because he loves it but man it sure would be nice to have a break!


Have a fabulous day everyone!

[coastermom]

Ok Maybe everything else but this one

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever....


Morning all had to stop in and say HI . So I havent had a call to sub in a while and well I am thinking that my Starbucks has to be cut to at least twice a week now instead of like three or more times a week .

So I see everyone is enoying April Fools day . A older friend of mine has a daughter a little younger then me . Today is her birthday so I told my friend that the joke was still on her . . It was funny because she has been having some problems with her daughter and well it just fit today .


Not much to do today got to go to the craft store AGAIN DD has another project to do . actually two this week . .
But there is good news ... She did so good at bowling that she was choosen with 3 others from their team of 9 to go to an individual round of bowling that I am thinking is for trophys . Either way she has really improved from bowling a 90 to bowling a 165 yesterday . So today they will be in our local paper .

Our middle DD is getting annoyed with her best friend and is haveing a hard time this week . I really hate this age . Some girls are just so mean . A big Is all this is gets me kind of mad but they will have to work though it.

DS is still talking about his 300 on the WII . I have to say he is also very excited about our trip to Six flags this Saturday . He has been looking forward to it for a long time since OCT. . He told me at school this morning that there were only 4 days till Saturday . I guess he really wants to go .

Glad to see the talk of the family cloth has passed .... PLEASE NEVER SHARE THAT WITH US EVER AGAIN . I need to shower after just thinking of it.

Gotta run and ruin someone else day now . BBL

 

[bubba's mom]

Will you ever learn? I know you gotta do it because he loves it but man it sure would be nice to have a break!

Apparently, other than classes/clinics, May thru July is my break. Soccer practice starts in Aug and games start in Sept And you can bet that Bubba will WANT to do clinics He decided last nite he wants his name/number on the breast of his warmup jacket...we were all set to order it, but I thought his number was 30, DH said it was 40....so, we didn't order it (will do so next Wed).... (note to self: DH IS right....some of the time )

I rarely ever go to that site...those people are more screwed up than our friends on the other side of this board.

I don't know how ya do it Mary...living on a phone call?? Not knowing if you're going to work or not Not able to make plans? I couldn't do it...you are a braver woman than I! And because of it...your guilty pleasure is suffering idea: Ask for Starbucks gift cards at birthday & holidays) Your son has earned braggin' rights on the WII game ...Lord knows how long it'll take before he can actually do it in real life I hope you all have a great day Sat. at 6 Flags...a sure sign of better weather ahead! Oh, and don't worry about DD and friend...they will work it out...or not...it's the age...everyone has to experience it at least once!

 

[loribell]

Barb - There is also a song along those lines. Isn't it amazing that we survived.

Lawrence - Is it not morning where you are?

Mary - School projects are a pain. Two in one week is a bit much. Congrats on the bowling accomplishments.

Sorry the middle one is having bff troubles. That is so tough.

The little guy is very excited, isn't he? Too cute!

Umm, thanks for bringing that up again. J/K

Have a great day!

That is a big plus!

It is going very good. He is sore but his arm is much looser. He can go down to the table with it now when stretching. We go back to the doctor on Thursday. I think they will probably at least release him to hit. They may even release him to throw but he said coach told him even if they do he thinks he will still keep him off the field for a while longer. Yeah, now that he knows something really is wrong he is concerned! Coach is anxious for him to hit again though.

Oh I am lurking around and going crazy from the lack of nicotin

You hang in there.

Forgot to tell you all yesterday that the DW was watching Ellen and seen the two football players riding the hulk on the show and she has never rode it and she began asking me about it and I was telling her since I rode it and she said I think I will ride it when we go down in July and I said since your willing to ride the hulk will ya ride DD with me for the first time and she said no what do you think I'm crazy

Personally I think the Hulk is worse than DD. Am I the only one?

 

[ky07]

I don't know I like the fact the Hulk your in a car and you can have your feet planted firmly down on the floor but DD your feet are dangeling

 

[loribell]

You haven't ridden DD, right? I really think the Hulk is worse even if my feet are dangling on DD. May just be me though.
