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

[scotlass]

And here is y'all making me a liar already!

I may be in the minority here but I sure hope they do not replace BTTF with a Simpsons ride. I will never step foot in it and my children will not either. It is one show that I immediately knew was not something we would watch. I can't believe they would even consider putting it in to a park.

I think we are still waiting for this:

oh snap! someone snitched on me.......
yea, i never got around to writing the trip reports ......but this year i will.think i said that last year also....

i keep a journal of my trips so i could still write them up. i might surprise everyone and do one soon. which year should i write it on? have gone yearly and some bi yearly since 1993........

you are very right.
everyone loves to read trip reports and i also beg others to write them when they come back.

some of the reports are so good. bubba's mom wrote a winner of a report on her last trip.

Did she ever write this trippie for us????

Hey Mac you getting the new digs ready? I think we will be full by tomorrow with all the anniversary partying!

And would you guys believe way back before our first home was locked up I went back and saved a bunch of old posts. Well they are not there any more. I guess I must have saved over them one day. Now I gotta go back and find some of my favs.

yup.........just a quick clean up and another paint job and we will be ready to move........

when you see the new thread with the #4, that's the one to go to.



for newbies here, once a thread reaches 250 pages, it is locked and a new one has to be made.

when this thread locks up, go to Something About Nothing #4
it will be in the main forum at UO.

i will send a note to the moderator to link it here when this joint closes shop.

Good afternoon Homies not too good of day in the Lawrence household cause took my DW to work and our car just quit and now the car lot that I am buying it from said they would have it towed and looked at and like I told them hope they pay to have it fixed cause we can't pay for it cause the car has tapped us out already

Wow Lawrence, it's raining crud at your house lately. I hope you've gotten things straightened out by now.

No, no, no, I said I was glad that Kansas took it to them....I picked UNC to win, and I really (really really) thought they were going to. I was just glad to see an awesome game (well...you know, except for that first half! ) I was CHEERING for them when they had it down to 6 points at the end. They were just too tired from that amazing come back to finish it off. I like your heels! I am just a crazy college hoops fan in general, so I always want to see a great game. And I love Roy Williams, I think he is a great coach.

Excuses, excuses!

mac has a mind like a steel trap

bringing this over, i'm stressin something fierce...yak @ ya later...

when i had to run out today, i got in a minor mishap

on 4 lane hwy, semi truck riding the passing lane suddenly swerved in front of me (to avoid a dump truck who stopped & decided to turn left as i found out)

Even though i was several car lengths behind him in right hand lane; he would've hit me if i hadn't braked "hard" and wound up swerving into high curb on my right/almost spun out. Would've been nice if he had thrown on hazard lights or turn signal.

Lucky the cars behind me missed me - barely. My 2 tires are chewed up on the sides, didn't go flat yet know it's out of allignment. Sure could've been worse.

All shook up, neck & back hurting-must of tensed up - HA! Best of all the AH never even stopped!!!

ps - i've never been to a car race, what a sickening sound when the tires scrape cement

Janet, that's very scary! The road is a dangerous place to be. I hope you didn't hurt yourself or your vehicle too badly. We don't want anything happening to you.

Your name is Todd, hers is Tammy. Got it.

Thanks for helping us out with that.

See now you can feel better about it Tammy. Roy made Kansas the team that it is.

Nope! I don't feel any better at all.

I missed the deadline to enter my photography in the fair!

However, it's only been a week and late entries may be allowed, if the Creative Arts Superintendent allows it.

*crossing fingers*

Have you found out, if they'd allow you to enter the competition? I wish you luck.

Mac: There will be NO ROOM for Patty...My house....we shared a room for 24 years!!

Bad sissy!

Katie: No room for me????

Good sissy!

Tammy:
Seeking paranoia treatment.

What??? Why does everyone think there's something wrong with me?

 

[RAPstar]

happy anniversary all!!

 

[AlexandNessa]

A little early but thats ok

Now Lawrence, don't be so quick to judge. It's 1:24 am for some of us .....

 

[ky07]

Now Lawrence, don't be so quick to judge. It's 1:24 am for some of us .....

Thats why I said but ok and I guess you could say anytime is miller time

One of my favorite posts by Jodie, August 29, 2007:

OMG, Tricia. That post I honestly wrote in passing, as if you guys were just DYING to know the daily stupids of my personal life. Well, do you know, not long after that I get a package in the mail, and it's a big envelope from macraven. It's a HUGE friggin bottle of Prell to replace the one that Mike used on me! So, while I'm sure the bottle of Prell cost about $2.99, mac spent over $6 to send it to me!!!

 

[tarheelmjfan]

All this excitement was too much for her mom :

Your SIL is going to kill you, if she finds out you posted that.

I can relate, but on the opposite end of the spectrum. Before I had kids I liked working late so I could stay up as late as I wanted (4 AM) and sleep in until 10:30. I'm creative, so my brain works better at night.

That was very similar to my schedule, until Kenny went to school.

Oh puleeze....I AM your friend I told them I didn't know what I was doing..... Besides...I had them all the way to the finals...and then my thought was....they had a good season, and if they make it all the way to the finals, they'd be due for a 'loss'....so, my thinking was that way.....has nothing to do with YOU personally...... & I think you know that.... (you just stirrin the pot, ain'tcha?)

I guess it's time to play nice, since some of you appear to think I'm serious about the Heels thing. I do love my Heels, but it takes a whole lot more than that to make me mad. I thought you guys knew that my sense of humor came laced with a heavy dose of sarcasm. If not, you do now. I'll play nice now, or at least try to.

I think thats half the problem, its a dinky airport that only has a few airlines flying into it.

I could have him fly into Orlando, but then he would have to catch a shuttlebus for the 90 minute ride to Daytona. Too many things can go wrong that way, like the plane is late and he misses the shuttle....

I have the same problem, when flying to NC to see my sisters. Have you checked for a budget airlines that may fly into there? Sometimes you get lucky, & the small airports have a random budget airline flying into them. One of our smaller airports near here has one. Then, there's small airports, like the one I fly into in NC, that only has two airlines period & they're both major airlines. I hope you find a cheaper option somewhere.

groan, bathing suit season

I'm groaning with you.

We're home. The test went fine. In fact, Joshua slept through most of it. The tech had him lie down on the table amd she started attaching the leads to his head. There were 25 of those little suckers. She told him that it wouldn't hurt and, in fact, he could go to sleep if he wanted to. As soon as she said that, he closed his eyes and was gone. I said, "I hope you were serious."

I had to wake him up so that he would be aware when they hit him with the strobe lights, but other than that he was asleep.

So, the drama of the day was when we were first leaving home. I had a flat tire. Not low, FLAT. We wound up having to cram the 3 of us in Brad's truck because we didn't have time to change it. Everything is fixed now, but what a start to the day.

I am beyond exhausted, but it is done. I just have to hang on until bedtime. And bedtime will come early tonight!

That's awesome news about Joshua! I knew he'd do well. He's always a little trooper.

Afternoon all ...

If you're referring to the end of the Friday the 13th house that wasn't a scream...it was more of a yell.

That one got me too Todd ... it was still very early (we were in the stay and scream areas (or as I called it the cattle yard)) and when we were freed we hightailed it over to the Friday house ... as we were exiting one of the scareactors banged the big drum and got me good with water - my whole back was wet ... and boy did I let out a yell!

I saw this in the paper this morning and thought I would share.

Thoughts?

Interesting ...

you'd never see it @ universal - luv it; they do have that fancy special VIP tour too don't they?

Yep ...

So lets get the party started!

We've got booze and snacks...

I don't know about you homies, but I'm having fun!!!

Now that's my kind of party!

A little early but thats ok

Never too early - it's always 5 o'clock somewhere

it's 5:00 somewhere............

See!

But before I go I just wanted to tell Mac thanks for making this home for us. Who would have ever thought such great friendships could be made on a message board! Luv ya Mac!!!!

Well said ... thanks Mac!!!

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Matthew does like the Lego Star wars video games too.....he laughs hysterically when Chewy pulls peoples arms off. Boys.....

Yeah, typical boy. No matter how old they get, they still love the gore.

Well I am already there but you sure can't tell it!

That's what matters. I became a great aunt, when I was 16. I'm okay with it, as long as I don't look like it.

Got to the point where I almost threw my sandwich at the last one.....but then I would've had to eat it off them......but he was cute so it would also have been a win/win situation!!

Can you imagine what the other customers would have thought?

Lucky you had SUBWAY today!

At least something good came out of your day

I love that pic in your signature. That's what I call a great view.

Does anyone on this list know anyone in Palm Bay, FL who might be willing to do a home check for my dog rescue group?

Tamie

Sorry, I don't. We live on the other coast.

Okay guys - next question! Just came back from the Band Trip meeting. I think I told you, but Stephen & Eric's band next year will be playing in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville. The price is more than a bit steep, but we got all the details today. It includes 3 days in Jacksonville doing band/parade stuff, then 2 days at Disney. Of course this is during Christmas Break and includes a 25 hour bus ride in each direction with buses full of high school students!

However, chaperones are just $200 each. All inclusive - hotel, meals, park tickets. Would you do it? One son won't be going so one of us will have to stay home, but one of us could go, most likely me! What do you think? On the one hand, Disney & sunshine , but on the other, just the thought of the bus rides makes me ! Input?!

It would depend on whether or not I knew the other chaperones well. If not, I'd choose door #3. I'd tell them to enjoy the bus ride, & I'd see them there.

Besides this may be the only way you get to go back!

What did I miss? Why can't she go back? If I'm being too nosy, you can just tell me to mind my own business. No biggie!

When we went to Toronto, the drinking age was 18. (I don't know what it is now.) One of the activities for the kids was a baseball game. Two of the boys decided they would skip out during the game, buy a case of beer and drop it off at the hotel, returning before the game ended. Well.....they got lost, and didn't make it back before the game ended. Security was tearing apart the stadium looking for these kids. The police were called, the kids parents were called. It was pretty scarey for awhile. After about 45 minutes, the kids called the band conductor to say they were lost. It wasn't funny then, but is now! They ended up suspended from school for a while.

Teenage boys...... gotta love 'em.

an hour ago i had to go to the store and fix up dinner for a son.

stuck it in the fridge, he can use the microwave.

You're a great mom! Your boys are very lucky to have you.

i'm here. browsing the threads some. i tend to get obssessive over big events (i almost drove the BF crazy last yr with my trip to visit him while he was living in Las Vegas (it's a long distance thing for now, in case you're wondering)). Wow....double parentheses twice in one day. Maybe doing the sudoku in the newpaper everyday is making my brain work better.

I think I need to start getting the daily paper. My brain needs serious help.

 

[coastermom]

Hello all . Ok got a hair cut . Then I went to STARBUCKS ...I had to do it . It is so wonderful outside today I just hate to know that the weather is going to change here after tonight . We may get rain for 5 STRAIGHT DAYS . I hope not the kids really wanted to go back to SF this weekend . I am thinking everyone on Staten Island has lost their minds . The news here has been crazy .

Off to go get the little one from school then we have the dentist tonight .

SO glad the party is going well but the dancing and drinking is going to have to end sooner or later ... I hope later . I was thinking the cookies look really good do you all really want to see my FAT BUTT after my trip in a TR ?? Then stop sending the FOOD ..but here is a for the PARTY ...

BBL PARTY ON DUDES

See? I wasn't the only one that found your Prell drama funny!

I also thought your description of thinking of me when people tell stories of children who finger paint with their own poo was great too.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

this year it didn't touch me enough to call up and give money.



i kept thinking, look at all these celebs, are they giving???

last year ellen did the show in part and she announced on live tv that she was giving and said the amount.
then she encouraged other celebs to give.

i read that the 3 judges gave their nights salary tonight to the fund.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that occasionally. That's like the charity Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie sponsor to rebuild homes in New Orleans. It's great that they care, but I can't help but wonder why they don't just pay for several of the houses themselves. It's not like they'd have to worry about feeding their family, if they spent a few million replacing homes. Add a few milllion from each of their A-list peers & they wouldn't need the commoners donations. Oh well, maybe celebrities contribute more than we think they do.

i thought i read on csw that lee posted about doing vow renewals on your anniversary date. maybe i mis read it. it was sometime back that was posted and i could have confused the dates too.

I've been meaning to ask, what is csw? It's been mentioned a few times on this thread, but I keep forgetting to ask.

and then he says, huh, you talking about something?

I thought my hubby was an only child, but I'm beginning to wonder if he & Mr. Mac aren't brothers. Maybe, his dad has some splainin' to do.
