[coastermom]

Hey all ...

Well busy again Santa comes in one month . So not ready for this .

Got some good news this morning . My neighbor went in for a lump on her chest and everything looks good . Not what they thought and she will be fine . . We are very happy for her.

On the other hand DH Grandmother is still hanging in there . We are happy about that but also just don't want to see her suffer anymore .

Doing lots of shopping for Christmas . What to get my DD 16 ? She is not really asking for anything at all except some clothes . I got DS a Nintendo Ds and got my DD13 a pair of UGGS . So I am looking for the one big gift for DD 16 and no luck . AHHH Teenaged Girls make me crazy

Ok I had to do this I was watching TV with my friends DD and Blues Clues came on so here goes ... .. A CLUE A CLUE .. Ok I am done sometimes I just crack myself up .. .. Can you all tell I am slowly loosing my mind . I am excused though because I am a MOM .

Going to craft for the school . BBL

Hi homies-
quick fly by-
Had a few errands to run yesterday. Going into school pretty soon to help with sewing hats, scarves, etc for Misericordia(a home in Chicago for the developmentally disabled).
Had good conversation on the phone yest with my cousin. I don't talk to her that often. She is going thru some health issues.

Ok, someone I know(not here) has been using my kids' tv programs for a survey Too funny

Chrissy really likes the show Icarly the past few months. Chrissy calls me "****" or everyone in the family "****". She drives us crazy
THe Meghan character(Miranda Cosgrove) uses that word on the show Or am I getting confused with Drake and Josh show? I get confused with those 2 shows
I know Chrissy likes Wizards of Waverly Place on Disney channel.

Coastermom- glad to hear all is well with your neighbor, what a relief to hear good news on her situation

Ok, gotta run

[macraven]

any one else watch the Shield?

it's ok if i stand alone on that show.

it is worth it to me.

donald, that's a bad break you have run into.
permits can be very expensive!

we had a roof put on this year and they aren't cheap.

with all the work you are doing, i'm sure it is very costly.


do what dw says.

buy another house...........


now is the time if you can swing a mortgage.
i heard on the radio today the deals are out there now for buyers.

You're not alone, I've watched all 7 seasons, I love that show! I'm into Sons of Anarchy now, I started watching it because Hellboy is the head of the motorcycle gang, then I got hooked on the story line!

 

[coastermom]

Ok have to ask ... Is anyother adult on this board reading the Twilight Books?? I have to say I am wishing I was a teen again . I am really into these books . I finished the first one and am almost done with book 2. My DD's have turned me onto this and now I think I am loving this Vampire dude too . . I can't believe how good it is . I know it sounds stupid but really please tell me I am not the only adult reading this and I am not NUTTY .

Ok now that I started this I am off to bed soon . Gotta get this little guy to sleep and then read my book .

 

[marciemi]

Okay Mary - I talked about being into the Twilight books a thread or two ago (SAN 3 or 4 maybe?). If you have any questions, I really enjoyed them. Thought I replied a bit to you a few pages back but maybe you missed it or I just "meant" to reply. (I do that a lot - get it in my head and then run out of time!). If you're interested, you can join us over on the Twilight thread (my other homies!):

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving. We'll be heading out to Detroit again - hopefully driving through the UP rather than braving Chicago during rush hour on the day before Thanksgiving! I'll try to keep up with the thread on my iphone, but probably won't reply much!

 

[KStarfish82]

Hey everyone! Heading to Jersey tomorrow for Thanksgiving lunch and I'll be back Thursday for Thanksgiving dinner!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

mike.........

i have waited forever for the finale tonight.

i am totally disgusted with the shield........

the last 37 minutes of it was the worse i have ever seen.
no sound and when any sound came through, it was muffled and jumpy.
could not make any sense out of it.

sons of anarchy had the same problem.

do you know what it is like to anticipate this finale and have the first portion crystal clear on the sound and then nothing.........

now i have to google and find out what happened.
watching it with limited sound only frustrated me more........

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Evening ... or should I say "morning" all ...

Mac - you can watch TV shows at this website ... that's what I do when I miss an episode (although if the sound is wonky it might not be any better on the computer than it was on TV)

Hey Youse....

Minniejack-75%..wow thats a lot.
But no so surprising,when The English were raiding and looting Scotland and Ireland lots jumped on a boat to The Land of the free.
The Celts helped make your country great.
No direct desendents of mine I dont think but my biological father* is American so im a bit off a mix !!



Mac- I Love The Shield....Are youse a 24 fan ?
The 2 hour special was on here on Monday,I cant wait till the new season in Jan.

Jack Bauer rocks !!!



* Bio father was American but my REAL dad was a very cool Scot who raised me and loved me from 5 years old.
He sadly died 8 years ago and i miss him more every day !!

God Bless Tam

My mother, queen of guilt, always has us kids come over for every holiday and we all bring one dish while she does the brunt of the work.

Well, this year, we have to do the gluten free route and I'm not a baker. Cook, yes, baker no....so....all day to day I've been making noodles--with one batch going straight to trash--dressing, etc...to take to her house which is a half hour away.

After baking and cooking for 6 hours today, I decided that we'd just sleep in, bake my own bird and then go to the queen's house later in the day...

I have broken tradition--it's the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fine R.E.M.--i think....

Now if I'd only known that we'd needed to be gluten free 9 months ago when I made my reservations for Universal--I probably would go before Christmas to avoid the crowds.... Next year....

I have 2 queens in my family, my mom- queen of guilt as well(not about food but about everything else ) and DD thinks she's queen
I'm just a princess I suppose

minniejack, your plan sounds good tomorrow Do what you need to do to be gluten free and not be stressed by the queen

Hi homies-
Want to wish all the homies here (DISers and lurkers) a Blessed Thanksgiving!!

I may not be able to post here tomorrow, I'll try to read but may not have time to post. Will be watching 2 parades tomorrow- the Chicago one and Macy's. Going to my parents for dinner in the early afternoon. My mom doesn't cook at all for Thanksgiving. Hasn't cooked in many yrs. She just doesn't like to cook period. So she ordered ham and turkey from the Honey Baked Ham place and the side dishes as well. We are bringing 2 pies, pumpkin and mint chocolate silk(Sarah Lee). Most of the Bakers Square restaurants closed by us, so can't order pies from there Closest Bakers Square is about a 25 min drive from us.

We got a nice surprise from an older neighbor couple (husband and wife) in my complex. She put a bag for us at our doorstep. Just little food stuff like peanut butter, hot chocolate mixes, bag of sugar. We were floored, it was so thoughtful of them They are the only neighbors in our complex that are really thoughtful.

I hope to post again later, going to eat dinner now.

 

[macraven]

what happened to our farmer today?

haven't seen him around.

maybe the mrs has him busy fixing the house today.


St. L, how did your pie making turn out today?

i'm sure it was delicious.
some prefer the sweet potatoe pie over pumpkin.
my mom always made the sweet potatoe one and rhubard and mince meat...
when i moved out of her house, i started doing pumpkin pie.

 

[roseprincess]

Oh, to the friendly lurker(or should I call you Ringo) that sees my DS on Tues and Thurs afternoons, please sign Matthew up for the later time slot for that Saturday. Thanks!
Matthew may forget to sign the sign-up sheet. Can only go to the later time slot, as we have another comittment(sp) in the early afternoon that day.
Not doing the pancake part, as we will eat breakfast at home- saves money.
Gee, so now I have 2 places to go to that day
Whatever happened to Mr. H? Haven't seen him around lately. Hope he is doing ok.



Mac- sorry to hear The Shield finale didn't work out for you. Our tv went squiggly lines when I was watching the last half hour of the ER season finale last May Our tv acts strange when we change channels too much. Something probably needs to get fixed in our tv, but don't want to spend the $ right now. TV still works fairly well.

Scotlass- We are 24 fans here, too Some people from my church are really into 24, so DH and I got hooked a couple of yrs ago.

Hi to all

Anyone that is traveling during this holiday week, please be safe.
