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

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Again late on the quote - a funny story again for you. When we moved here, Royce and I flew out first and looked at houses. We narrowed it down and a couple weeks later drove out with the boys. One of the houses we'd looked at had a ferret cage in the basement with 2 ferrets. We'd told Eric (then 10) about them and he was really excited. When we went to the house and showed him, he looked disappointed. When we asked him why, he said "I didn't know they'd be in cages - I thought they'd just be running around the basement and we could have them if we moved in!" Yeah, vermin in the basement - always a big selling point for any house!

Actually ferrets aren't vermin - they are from the same family as weasels and otters ... ferrets have been used primarily for vermin control or hunting small game animals since they first were domesticated.

Hi everyone Just came over to check out this thread. Y'all are pretty crazy here. Looks like a place where I can kick my feet up and munch on some cookies and gab about everything and nothing.

Mac, where are those cookies?

hello.......

and

C'mon in and chat awhile.

I have a prayer request. Kenny's girlfriend has been really down & he's worried about her. He & Kenneth are gone to her house now to see her. He can't phone her. I posted earlier what she's goes through. Please, pray for her.

Scary stuff Tammy. I'll be praying. Keep us posted.

hehe...i just remembered to take my panties out of my purse....

What a day - MIL crashed her power wheelchair into the huge fish tank at the nursing home. Luckily neither the fish or gram suffered any damage.

Yesterday she crashed into her bed and caught the oxygen tank (on the back of the chair) on the tv that is mounted on the wall and ripped off all the wires, put a big gouge in the wall and broke the light switch cover.

DH is going down there tomorrow and bringing home the power chair and getting her a regular wheelchair.

First, "I just remember to take my panties out of my purse" should be a TAG.

Second, I'm getting a mental picture of your MIL as a granny version of Speed Racer. Okay, it's gone now. I hope you get everything sorted out for her. You guys have really gone above and beyond to get her settled and cared for.

Sorry to hear that Todd. The traction control went in the impala two weeks ago. They wanted $1500 to fix it. That was the last straw. The car DH bought last weekend comes from a dealership that has a warranty forever program. As long as you get the normal maintenance stuff done at an authorized repair facility, they will cover any work to the the power train at no cost. whats a power train? Hopefully we will not have to experience that.

Thanks Sharon...the power train is another name for the transmission. You know...like Human Resources is another name for Personnel? Remember those days?

put a note in your clothing so in case you die and they don't see your legal will,you want those pens and spidey buried with you........

I'll see the attorney tomorrow.

I hereby accept the name Macadamia. Thank you, and may the Force be with you.

Macadamia

Don't you mean...may be nuts be with you?

Alright Lori...that's enough with the cookies! You're going to make me eat everything in sight and I'll never fit into Dueling Dragons again.

There...live with that.

Exactly what I was thinking too. You guys keep posting food and making me hungry. Although right now I'm in the mood for wine and of course there's none in the house. Told DH when he goes to pick up DS from play practice that he has to stop and get some, but he better hurry because there are no liquor sales here after 9pm. About to send him out now just in case!

A funny story (potty/underwear related) from our trip. We spent the last few days in Boston with my brother and family. They have a 6 year old daughter who LOVES Stephen. The first night they (the parents) went out so we were watching the kids. DN (niece) decides she wants Stephen and I to help put her in bed.

Well, her room is right next to her younger brothers' room, who we'd already put to bed (you walk through her room to his). So we decided to all go in the bathroom (also off her room - the house was built in the 1700's and I think this was a some point a master suite with bath and "sitting" room) so we won't wake him up.

Not really planning ahead, she runs in and pulls off her pants and sits down on the toilet. Feeling a bit uncomfortable about having a 14 year old boy in there, I quickly push him over to the other part of the bathroom (kind of segmented - toilet/sink in one part, shower perpendicular). She babbles away while using the bathroom and then gets up and tells him to help her get her shirt off, etc. So I'm just thinking, okay, guess we're not in the modesty stage yet.

She's all changed into pajamas and I tell her to brush her teeth. She gets the toothbrush, puts toothpaste on it, and fixes both of us with a stare and says "Can I have my privacy please?!" Um, okay - don't need it to use the bathroom or change, but heaven forbid we see her brush her teeth!

And I wasn't even drinking beforehand...

Second, I'm getting a mental picture of your MIL as a granny version of Speed Racer. Okay, it's gone now.

She drove a school bus for 30 years!

I hope you get everything sorted out for her. You guys have really gone above and beyond to get her settled and cared for.

You have no idea, well maybe you do, you have had more than your share lately.

Okay - sorry if I offended you, but either way if they'd been running around loose down there the first time we went in I guarantee you we wouldn't have been back for a second showing! Same thing if there were any weasels or otters down there as well!

Hey - everybody that just came on tonight.....

did you see my tag!!!!

It's so cool.

 

[marciemi]

Andy (?? - I'm not sure what your real name is but I guess that's what we're going with?) - what's supposed to be in your signature? All I get is a red x box. I'm pretty sure there was something there before. I do get all the names and little pics by them but there's a big box with a small red x that I'm sure is supposed to be something else!

The movie was good. We went to see Horton, if you forgot. Fabulous animation, voices, and enough humor tossed in that I had a good time too (not just the 6 year old). Dinner after was Sonic. Bleech. His choice not mine. We made it home in enough time to medicate him and now everyone is in bed. Payroll is done. The rest of the bookkeeping will have to wait because I would make too many mistakes tonight.

So, a good day all in all. I'm wearing my new butt ugly Wal-Mart pjs. They are soooo comfy.

 

[Metro West]

Glad you didn't forget to take the panties out of your purse. I think taking the power chair away is a very good idea!

With all of this not taking panties out of the purse talk, I'm thinking one thing.............CALLING DR. PHIL!

Just using standard Internet Explorer on a 7 year old Dell. I'll check at work tomorrow (if I get a free minute, unlike today) and see if I can see it there. Or I could check on our Macbook and see if I can see it on Safari just to be different!

Sounds like a couple of you aren't happy with Safari. Royce is really looking (and pushing) to buy a Mac desktop (sorry, I'm not familiar with the different models). I really hate the Mac Book and my inlaws had a Mac Desktop that I also hated while we were in NY. What exactly is the benefit to a Mac other than having to learn all new systems, having it not be compatible to everything we already have and having to pay lots more for any games? Besides the "but it's so COOL" that I get from DH and DS16?! Thanks!

Penny - you are just awesome! Love it!

Is this a new version at the theaters? Guess I'm a bit out of the 6 year old target range, but I think we might enjoy renting it if you think it's good!

no offense taken ... just wanted to clarify that as a lot of people think they're vermin
