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

[marciemi]

funeral home = viewing/paying respects

wake = get together after the funeral/graveside service, usually involves prolific quanties of booze...barbaric practice imo

stinks DS got roughed up in the game, good thing Eric came thru for the bride

This is what I've heard in Wisconsin, which seems different than what Rose was saying. In Michigan, as I said, I thought wake always just meant funeral, but from folks who were from say Ireland!

Speaking of Michigan, how 'bout that Michigan/Wisconsin game! Yeah, we'll be wearing our Wolverine clothes all week here in Wisconsin!

Mac - saw that 6 Flags has their offer that if you buy the season passes (only $65 now), then they're good for this rest of the year (and Halloween weekends!) and all of next year. This is what we were hoping to do. Unfortunately, however, we looked at our schedules for now through November 2nd, and cannot find ONE Fri-Sun that we would have available that we all could go! Eric has Symphony Orchestra every Sunday, Matt has soccer nearly every Saturday, and the ones he doesn't, Eric/Royce/Stephen have choir at church. Fridays everyone either has soccer or marching band. Did I mention NONE?! We probably wouldn't be able to fit it in our schedule next summer anyways, but $65 is a really good deal, so I was hoping to go!

Oh, and evidently Matt has recovered even more than I thought from his soccer mishap since he ended up playing in his game this afternoon! Big news on 2 accounts - since I thought he was too hurt to play, and since he hasn't played much this whole season!

Anyways, off to bed here! Everyone have a great night!

Bonny...I'll let you be the photographer this year. I had a hard time last night with my camera. Everything seemed so dark to me and no...I didn't have my sunglasses on.

OK ... you got a deal!

marci, i'm not but about an hour from rose so i don't think wake/funeral terms are regional.
i think maybe it is from the church people go to. they all have different terms for what we are thinking of.

last year six flags did that also, buy the season pass in 08 and it is valid for this fright fest and next year's season.

i hope your son feels better soon!

MORNIN HOMIES!!!

Whooooooo Hoooooooooo!!!!! Phils did it again. We have tickets to the game today, but it will be a nice relaxing game - no pressure (and probably no starters either).

First we have a 9AM game in Claymont, DE Have to be out of here in about 45 minutes.


Hope you all have a great Sunday - will talk to you later!!!

 

[coastermom]

Morning all ...


Marci .. Six Flags Does that every year . We have the season passes and they have done that deal forever. Your passes are a lot cheaper then ours though . Our start at 89.99 and go up from there . Good thing I have their credit card and only have to buy one for our family . I get the others with my points.


Rose hope the family is holding up well this weekend with your loss .

Everyone that is at HHN wish i was on Vacation too...

Busy day again but glad it is a short week for us. The kids are off for the Jewish Holiday this week so we have one going to school all week and the rest of us will be off on Tue and Wed. Good week for me but only one chance to work all week . DS will finally have his birthday party too he is very excited .

I'll bring more homies over as I meet them.

Should be easy enough. I probably *won't* be working in the house--the strobe effects started wrecking my eyes. Some of the scareactors even noticed this and asked me if I was okay--they did this quietly and as an aside, yet blended in with their role.

[minniejack]

Afternoon all--stopped in to say hi--we are going over to nib at the next door's open house--remember please sprinkle pixie dust on it so it will sell.

Then off to a BBQ Bluegrass picnic to raise funds for DD15's youth symphony--unlimited BBQ ribs and chicken...yummmmm

From last last year-to first this year!!!!!!!!!(so far)

 

[marciemi]

Um - Brewers are in too as wild cards! I'm not a huge Brewers fan (I'd cheer for the Tigers if they were in it), but it's what the locals cheer for here so we'll go with it!

Good afternoon homies-
Not much going on here today. Trying to get clothing done and emails to peeps about grandma's wake tomorrow.

Here is part of the link to grandma's obituary, if anyone wants to read it.
www.chicagotribune.com Look up on the left column under "deaths". My grandma's name is Rose K. I didn't want to put the full link of the obit here for privacy purposes.


I have to run as the kids are driving me bananas

 

[coastermom]

Wow Rose grandma was 92 . I hope I get to see that age one day ...God willing.

I am going to work in the morning so it will be an early night tonight. My DH is ill and now we are looking for a new doctor . The one we wanted had his phone disconnected.. . I just hope it is not as bad as I think it is . He had a syist (Spelling?) on his bottom to put it nicely near the tail bone last spring . Went to the ER had it lanced it drained everything was good ...until this weekend . IT has returned and now I think he should go to a docotor and see that it is truly removed. But as many of you know he is a man and they just hate the doctor . As of now he is OK and using hot compresses to relieve the pain . It gives me a .

My son is a little crazy this weekend i dont know if he is just nutty because of the weather or if it is his party is this week . Either way mommy has had enough and is ready for work believe it or not sometimes that is easier . Except las week when a kid in the 5th graded told me to go *$%^ myself and then told me how to do it . Nice kid huh .

Ok off to do the again and then off to work starts at 7:40 for me in the morning .

Night all

Morning all, it's a beautiful day in our neighorhood...all the hometown teams won...fingers crossed for the steelers tonight though...think it's going to be ugly

Unfortunately yes ...

We'll be there too ...

stripping is intimidating

wood stripping that is

u have a long trip planned

we need somebody to coordinate a mini-meet (house (or 2), getting chased by maniac w/chain saw blood bag ) , somebody who knows what they r doing...leaves me out lol

sooo, big WVU win over Marshall

da' cubs, da' bears...it's all good

news flash...the Pirates r out of the run since april

have a good one all

 

[minniejack]

Luke is sick--temp 104 this am.

Because of past couple of years, I took him into doctor's office and they ran a gamut of tests--hopefully everything goes okay--we just got home after 3 hrs of hurry up and wait.

And it's a good thing the Mountaineers won--I think West Virginians might have gone up to Michigan to try to lynch Rodriquez again.

And we only saw two people visit the neighbor's house for their open house--come on guys more mummy dust. All together--blowwwww

 

[donaldduck352]

Good afternoon all.Hope your Monday is treating you good!!
