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

[ky07]

Hey I thought we were trying to forget about the family cloth. If we keep talking about the cloth how can we forget about the family cloth? By the way, my family DOES NOT use a cloth!

For the love of everything holy TP TP TP

 

[ky07]

Can you imagine laundry day? Nope. I don't want to either.

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.

& some day you'll look back upon it fondly















not!!! APRIL FOOLS

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???)

must be PSSA week in good old PA ; my kid's more worried about the caddy classes this week...he has his priorities in order

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

hey, i resemble that remark...took years of careful prep to be as looney as I am ps, the blonde in me required that I read the HHN announcement twice for clarification

deleting due to my stupidity.

the best posts of mice & men are those that we delete (as in i better not tempt the DIS police )

lori - your good luck is rubbing off on me...our AKV waitlist came through already ; now all i've got to do is decide whether to do the whole 5 days there or split it up with WLV for easy MNSSHP access...i luv that sort of delemia.

hi ho, hi ho off to the country club i go ; going to be a long week - hope it stays warm so i don't freeze in the car.

i specifically avoided the family cloth thread...

just didn't want to go there ...
know i wouldn't be able to contain myself

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

well, if it is, i really fell for it.
i haven't been zinged for sometime.
i hope it is an april fools joke.


thanks for pointing that out bonny.
you saved the family cloth..............

...

... and please no talk of the family cloth .... that's just gross!!!

 

[macraven]

...

... and please no talk of the family cloth .... that's just gross!!!

i agree.
let's just flush that one out of our system forever now.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Check out my ticker!!! I'm in the teens!

Oh I hope there aren't too many changes to Disney....every time they improve, the ruin a ride

Rub it in, why don't ya.



j/k for you & Patty!

We don't pool hop either (time consuming)....altho, like Janet, we HAD to poolhop to HRH last year due to 'protein spill' in the RPR pool

Sounds like they need to have a few restrictions for the pools. That is just way beyond gross.

Mac is kewl!!

I agree! She's a special person. We're lucky to have her in our box.

Good morning and Happy April Fools Day!

Dude, didn't you know it was 5:07am. Go back to bed!!!

i like the smell of chlorine , anal about not getting my hair in it though...ever have your's go green , not a pretty sight...once is all it takes to make sure to take precautions

I had that happen in New Orleans once. No problem, this was NO & my new do fit right in. When we left there, & moved on to Texas, it became a bit of an embarrassment.

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

Bye Gemma I hope you have a great summer.

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

Glad your still kicking. Hope you're all better soon.

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!

AWWW...that's a shame! I think 1st grade IS a little young for a joke like that..... maybe more effective on middleschoolers

I agree 1st grade is a little too young for that. Your poor baby. The teacher wouldn't dare try that in middle school. They through a party & kick her out early.

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!

For some reason, that cracked me up. Tell Joshua, "thanks for the great laugh". I needed that!

Someone wake Lawrence and Tammy....them's oversleeping

What gave you that idea? I never get up that early.

Hi all-
Quick fly by...
Happy April Fools Day!!

Question- I'm so stupid, what is the family cloth?? I guess I haven't been able to catch-up and figure what that means
Is that some kind of sweat rag that TV preachers use when they get over- zealous onTV?? I have no clue

Unfortunatley I gotta run. Taking Matthew to band practice after school now.
Not sure if I'll be back later, as I'll be helping the kids with their homework, eat dinner, watch AI(I'm upset Chikesie got voted off , I really liked him, he was sexy!). Also will watch Hell's bleeping Kitchen too tonight.

Have a good day everyone!

Afternoon everyone!

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!!

Remember this ?
If it was a nice day out, you WALKED to school. You knew better than to dawdle or be late.

If elderly spoke to you, you spoke very nicely back.

Ma'am and Sir were not options, they were how you addressed folks.

YOU did not decide if you were watching tv, or eating a certain food, your parents did.

Remember when you were not rewarded for good grades/behavior, it was expected of you?

Remember the family dinner hour. You had to be in bed dying to be excused.

Sunday was family day . You did not venture out in the hood, you did family stuff.


Remember going to the store /riding you bike and getting sugar if your mom was out and being trusted with the money and responsibility?

And here is a biggie- everything was basically homemade for food.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

This took forever, but here's a few pics from cruises & my niece's wedding. I thought I'd post them, because of the different hairstyles. Maybe, they'll give Katie some inspiration.


Cruise pics:

This is hideous, but it's a different hairstyle:

[Metro West]

Todd, that's WAAAYYYY to early for me ... I am not a morning person nor will I ever become one

I know but I like getting off work at 3:30pm instead of 5pm...there's no traffic to speak of and down here that's very important.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

I almost forgot to share my story about my DS's sweet girlfriend. They called me from the clinic saying Kenny was sick, & I needed to come & get him. He had a stomach bug all weekend, but he can only miss so much school. It's better for them to send him home, than him not go at all. Anyway, yesterday afternoon the door bell rang. When I answered the door, it was Kenny's gf. She had ridden her bike here w/ chicken soup in tow to see how he was doing & take care of him.

I usually don't get into the gf thing with Kenny, because it never lasts very long. This one may last a while though, & I hope she does. She has such a horrible home life. I like her being here, so I can take care of her. Her mom's an alcoholic, & she's not good to here at all. She is a nice person, when she's not drinking. Unfortunately, that's not often.


Lori, I wouldn't blame you for doing the gold mining thing in GA, instead of driving all the way to NC. That's a big difference in driving time. If you do ever decide to visit NC, you may want to plan to spend a few days there. Don't miss the Biltmore House! There's also a lot of outdoorsy things to do. It really is a beautiful state to visit.

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 ?

They forgot the most important comparison to kids raised later. We were spanked, when we misbehaved, & we didn't do the same thing twice. I'm embarrassed to admit, I haven't done as good of a job raising my DS as my parents did with me. He probably could have benefited from a few spankings. Time out just doesn't have the same effect.

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

That does sound like fun. I bet there won't be many who stay that late. You'll be able to take a nice stroll down Main Street w/o fearing one of you are going to be run over any 2nd.

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....

Yeah, I never did that either.

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 )

And what are you going to do with that time off.............VACATION

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.

Wow, he's improving quickly. That's awesome! It's good the coach is letting him rest his arm a while longer. He wouldn't want to injure it again & have a big setback.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

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

I've never ridden either coaster or Dr. Doom. I keep saying I'm going to, then never get around to it. Let me know what your DW thinks. I have a feeling my DS isn't going to let me forget it next visit.

it has been a long day already. all stressed out and moving like a snail here.
ended up going to bed at 5:45 this morning. but i did get up at 10 so that's a good thing.

How do you survive on such little sleep? I'd never make it. Then again, you don't need as much beauty sleep as I do.

well, if it is, i really fell for it.

i haven't been zinged for sometime.

i hope it is an april fools joke.


thanks for pointing that out bonny.
you saved the family cloth..............

That was a cruel joke. We all know HHN is your baby. People aren't supposed to mess with our babies.

Speaking of April Fool's jokes, my DH's boss called him today & told him he was suspended for 3 weeks for a mistake he supposedly made. We both almost fainted. That wasn't funny.

it wasn't pictures of me at the strip joint was it............

Have you been being naughty again?

must be PSSA week in good old PA ; my kid's more worried about the caddy classes this week...he has his priorities in order

Gotta go with the money.

Question- I'm so stupid, what is the family cloth?? I guess I haven't been able to catch-up and figure what that means
Is that some kind of sweat rag that TV preachers use when they get over- zealous onTV?? I have no clue

I know you didn't just ask that.

I get up at 4:45am every morning for work.

Todd, that's WAAAYYYY to early for me ... I am not a morning person nor will I ever become one

We're kindred spirits!
