Something About Nothing..........#5

[mslclark]

Who brought up Care Bears? My youngest went through a huge Care Bears phase last year. I still have nightmares about being Care Bear Stared to death.

So, if you were a Care Bear, what would your belly badge be? I'm thinking I would be Mommy Bear. A dull, gray colored bear with a pile of dirty laudry on her tummy.

I'm trying to think of what kind of Care Bear I'd be, but I can't think of anything clever. How about a 40-something care bear addicted to diet coke? We're out and I really need one this morning!

"Zeuss never made it big in Scotland, I think its because we talk funny !!!

I talk funny too. My Canadian in-laws say so!

Evidently I talk funny too - that's what everyone up north told me!

Oh, family story about my grandma.
About 15 or even 10 yrs ago, my grandma would play "matchmaker" for anyone she knew that was still single. Grandma lived with my aunt, uncle, and cousin for 20 yrs, so I hardly saw my grandma those yrs. until she came to live in the nursing home near us. Anyways, when DH and I got married, my grandma really wanted me to fix up my 2nd cousin to DH's best man. Grandma really liked DH's best man. I really didn't want to do this, as I was not good at this stuff and I didn't know my 2nd cousin well at all.
So about a month after we got married, I invited DH's best man and also invited my 2nd cousin to our apartment, so like a "get to meet each other" type of thing. I felt like the dude (Chuck Woolery) from the show Love Connection
Unfortunately, DH's best man showed up but my 2nd cousin never showed She blew it off. I felt really bad for DH's best man, but he was okay with it. In a way I'm glad it didn't work out b/c my cousin and DH's best man would not have gotten along.
Anyways, I did it for my grandma, to make her happy
I guess Grandma was a hopeless romantic I suppose
Just a silly story I wanted to share about my Gma.

That's a nice story about your grandma - remembering things like that will help you get through this time. I will remember your grandma and your family that she doesn't suffer. I know this is a tough thing for the family right now.

I'm hopefully going to go see The Dark Knight and Mamma Mia on Sunday. I'll find out when my direct deposit goes through if I can afford to. Luckily there's an 11:10am show of Dark Knight which will only be $6.

Enjoy DK - I really want to see it. DS bought his tickets about 2 weeks ago! I'll probably wait as my plate is pretty full right now.


Hope you all have a great day! I've got so much work to do, and also we're having a lot of people over tonight to swim, so I need to get things straightened up outside.

Try not get your stars mixed up today Sneetches!

Getting ready for a busy day here . DD is going with a group of friends to see Dark Knight . The other DD had a sleep over ...They are still sleeping and DS is starting to SWIM with no lessons just mommy helping him along . He actually Swam like three strokes alone yesterday a few times we are so proud of him . He HATED the water last year and now he is almost swimming .


Rose ... keeping Grandma in our thoughts ...

Andy .. Go see Dark Knight ... Momma Mia looks good I saw the play on Broadway and well I hope the movie is just as good and as for Hell Boy I want to watch the first one again just to catch up on the story . DH saw Jurney to the Center of the Earth in 3D with my DS and they both Loved it . Just to add another movie to the list of things you may want to see .


Ok now that Care Bears and Rainbow Bright were brought up . Here are a few more that were around then

Anyone remember My Little Pony , Smurfs , The Justice League ( wonderwoman and her invisable jet ..I always wanted on ), And now my kids are wearing shirts with Smurfs on them and Didn't even know there was a show .. .. I always liked that smurfette but why was she the ONLY GIRL ?? Pondering questions we all need to have answered .. Ok memory lane closed now ..


Almost time for our trip .. We leave in less then a week So the parade has begun . What to pack , what not to pack TEEN aged girls this is going to be fun packing ....

BBL

 

[yankeepenny]

My Care Bear would be Pinstriped. Yankee Bear. ​

 

[patster734]

gah!!! I hate choices. Maybe I'll wait for Mamma Mia on DVD or at the $1 theater. Hellboy and Dark Knight are more movies that will prolly look better at the theater. Or I'll see MM when I get paid again.

I saw Hellboy 2 last week with the missus. Fun movie! We're seeing Dark Knight tomorrow with another couple. I have no desire to see MM, but the missus plans to see it with some of my sisters.

 

[bubba's mom]

everyone!

DH wants to see Batman in IMAX....he is hearing how great it is in the IMAX...I think he's taking a friend next weekend to thank him for taking care of the stuff he did for us while we were away.....have fun dear....me and the boy ain't interested in that movie....

Actually busy day at work today....gonna be a long night!

Scotlass...I loved that pic!! what an action shot!! (he wasn't hurt tho, right?)

Hope everyone enjoys their day..... GO PHILS! (sorry Pen, couldn't resist )

 

[Tizzy_Meliss]

Morning everyone!

Scotlass love the pic! Great action shot! Looks like he was having a blast!

Mac, in my whiny 4th grader on the playground voice "I'd rather be a smartass than a *******" Enjoy your house cleaning. Mine will just have to wait.

I remember the Smurfs. They were the only cartoon I watched when I was a kid. They tried to make a comback here, but it never took, they are off the air again. What's up with Smurfette being the only girl? If baby smurf wasn't hers, who's was he?

 

[tlinus]

Morning homies

Its Friday and I am almost finished with powerwashing the deck. Started it on Wednesday, took off yesterday because I got out there too late and we are under an excessive heat warning. We get that wicked afternoon sun and I wasn't about that yesterday. Going out there shortly to finish up the last little area. I will post before and after shots for youse.

I would venture to say that the smurfs were the ORIGINAL Blue Man Group - - I kill me!!!

Have a smurftastic day

[Tinker-tude]

Taminator - I am in Florida in OCT 09 ( 9th till 23rd )...but no way am i doing HHN....way to much feardyness here !!! [/SIZE]

I'm a little worried about my own feardyness, but it will be date night wtih DH and the other Homies. Plenty of people to hide behind and prevent me from killing scary cast members with the lazer I'll have in my Care Bear belly button. Although most of them are supposed to be dead already, so would it matter?

You're staying for a LONG time! I can't leave the dogs for that long. By the time we've been gone for 5 days, they start getting anxious and "get even" with us for leaving them behind. The petsitter comes three times a day to play with them for an hour, and the t.v. is left on, so it's not boredom that drives them to make the house look different.

There will quite a few of us there around October 9 through the 14:

We have to miss it this October, but we're set for '09. Just wondering if anyone besides me and Scotlass plan that far ahead.

Looks delicious! Does he mind being slurped up?

Who brought up Care Bears? My youngest went through a huge Care Bears phase last year. I still have nightmares about being Care Bear Stared to death.

So, if you were a Care Bear, what would your belly badge be? I'm thinking I would be Mommy Bear. A dull, gray colored bear with a pile of dirty laudry on her tummy.

Shooting soap from your belly?

If our bears are based on reality, I'm right there with you. Or I could be Chaos Bear. Either way, I want a belly laser. I could use it on those really tough stains, cooking shishkabobs, thwarting the forces of evil (those disobedient children), wreaking my own evil havoc if I'm in a bad mood. Belly laser is a must.


Hey, Rose - glad your'e getting more family support with your Grandma. It's hard to see the toll age takes on our family members. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.


Mac, glad you're planning on HHN in '09 as always. Hope our Canadians are coming too, Bonny! No one else in the Redhead/Sneetch clan seems to be going in January. I'll think of you while I'm eating my key lime coconut patties. Delish.....


Andy, it's good to have another Robot Chicken fan around. We record it on the DVR and laugh our butts off. So twisted and bizarre. Just like DH and I.

That is such a cute picture - really captured the moment!
