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

[loribell]

So was the other driver drunk? Why was he on the wrong side of the road with no lights on?

Keep an eye on him.

 

[KStarfish82]

He didn't show any signs of being drunk and the cops checked him out. Supposedly, he was coming onto the Belt. (I'm sure he was speeding) He hit a puddle, lost control and spun across three lanes and hit the median.

Well needless to say, black truck, no lights, rain, and under an overpass leads to a very scary situation. My BIL could not swerve because there was another car on his right side and could not stop because of the slick roads.

DF is constantly calling him to check on how he is doing and feeling.

Thanks for the concern!

really scary pictures kfed!

yea, patty, we remember her.


maybe if we talked about her she would make an appearance here...

tell her we miss her.



sometimes you just can not convince a person to get medical help.
and that is a difficult situation for you and his brother.

anytime you have your head hit like that, it should be checked out.
just to be on the safe side......

maybe he is dragging his feet on getting checked out because he doesn't feel bad physically. whatever the case, i hope he does see a doctor just to be on the safe side.

bribe him to see a doc.
promise him ice cream if he goes.


well, that always worked for me with my kids....

Morning Homies!!

Katie - how scary is that Hopefully future bil continues to do well, you can't force someone to the doctor if they don't want to go, though. Hmmm - wonder why the airbags didn't deploy? I hear that it is sometimes worse if they do!!??!!?? Hugs to you and hopefully you got some rest!!

urgh - Monday morning again all - coffee, coffee and more coffee please!!!!

Todd - yes - pics next time, please . I saw one night launch and one day launch when I lived down there with Dad.....the night one was WAY cool!!!!!

got to go wake up the 13 year old. She needs at least an hour to get ready for school. I told her she needs to be READY by 7:30 every morning. This skating in at 758 is not cutting it (she has to be in her homeroom before 8AM) and she is barely making it

Have a great day all!!!!

 

[KStarfish82]

Morning everyone!

We have tried to convince him to go, but to no avail.

Thanks for your thoughts.....I'm still totally wiped from getting only 2.5 hours sleep yesterday...

Afternoon all ...

Had a dusting of snow here too Mac ... but we're a bit warmer than you so it's melting. Truthfully, I wouldn't be upset if we had no snow for Christmas. Lots of snow in the mountains (about 3 hours away) which is good for the skiers.

Wow Katie ... I'm so glad to hear that no one was hurt in that accident ... that's just too scary!! Reminds me of our first year at HHN - we were going E on I4 (we couldn't get on W because of all the traffic) and as we were driving along to the next exit, cars were slowing down because of an accident up ahead. Well we slowed down but some cars in the lanes next to us weren't and were slamming on their brakes, skidding, and hitting one another ... we were only a few feet away from the exit, so decided to drive on the shoulder and get the heck outta there fast. Since then, we either leave before the event is finished or wait until the majority of the people are gone before heading out ...

Hi homies-

Katie- accident looks really bad. Glad future BIL is doing ok. Hopefully you and your fiance can convince BIL to get checked out at the dr.
My DH was in a car accident 3 yrs ago on the highway coming home from work. He rear-ended someone at 40 miles an hour. The woman he rear-ended stopped suddenly on the highway b/c she was on her cell phone at the time. Front of car looked similar to your BIL's car. Airbag never deployed either. DH was fine, he didn't hit head on anything. I think the other driver got the ticket, I can't remember off hand.


What is it with pilot lights on appliances? Found out this morning our hot water heater pilot light was out. DH took hour and a half to try to light the thing, wouldn't light. Got gas co out here this morning to look at it. THey couldn't light it either, some structural problem with the water heater. Got Sears coming out tomorrow afternoon to get some part replaced(I hope they fix it). Tried to get them out today, but they were booked. Have to take cold shower tomorrow morning. Just bought this hot water heater 7 yrs ago. Uggh!
Glad my kids got their showers in last night, when the water was still warm then.
Smelled gas in the kitchen today, looked under range and one of the pilot lights were out under the range. I was able to light it ok.
We don't have a draft in the house. Just crazy stuff

OK gotta run.

Have a good day homies

Boy, I wish. One year ago today I was sitting on the beach in Fort Lauderdale watching the cruise ships come into port. Today I am sitting here at work in a turtleneck and wool sweater.

 

[macraven]

[coastermom]

Hello... I am here now ...

Not for long though. Went to see my sons class in action today . I have to say it is a really good show . I know that many teachers do differnt lessons when the parents come to observe .

Now I am off to PTC for the middle child . She did very well with a 90 Avg. but I still want the teachers to know I am around and intrested in her education .

Gotta run now see everyone later .

Hi Sharon, Hi Mac! Hi everyone else as well! Still reading here, but not replying much. Conferences this week. 3 kids times 8 teachers per kid means a lot of conference time so it will be a busy week.

Tracie, I did want to reply to you. We have the opposite problem in our house with the morning routine - which is weird since mine our boys and yours (that you're talking about) is a girl, and you'd think it would be the other way around.

For some reason, even though the bus comes at 7 and school starts at 7:30, my guys feel that it's absolutely necessary to be up at 5:45. So by shortly after 6am, everyone is up, dressed, showered, and fed and then sits around on the computer or watching TV for an hour. Doesn't make sense to me. Especially since they are all obviously tired and cranky much of the time. I try to point out that if they slept another 30-45 minutes each morning, that would be an extra 3+ hours of sleep a week! But they insist they need time to "wake up". And before you tell me how lucky I am, I'll point out that still at 6:59, everyone's rushing around trying to find stuff, giving me forms to sign, and diving out the door as the bus is pulling up so some things never change!

gotta eat something to survive, just hope it doesn't hit too close to home

speaking of hitting, that accident pic looked like one of the many deer vs vehicle that begin this time of year when they start a-courtin'...we had almost $5k last year when one leaped out in front of DH on way to work, he walked away unscratched; glad to here KFed's bil did too

read a couple pages of posts & gave up in confusion, that sorta day i suppose ; did see the ornament exchange mentioned...is it still on the table?

 

[roseprincess]

Hi homies-

Went out to Target this morning for some little stuff. Sears got out here around lunchtime to look at hot water heater. THe thermacouple burnt out and needed to be replaced. Only took 10 min tops for the Sears dude to do.
Paid $160 for the dude to come out and put in new thermacouple. My DH is not good at all with home improvements, so we always have to pay someone to get something fixed around the condo. DH is really good at numbers(accounting) and cooking
Now I have a ghetto van, as I just noticed one of my hubcaps is missing on my van. Oh well.
It's always something around my place, something always needs to be fixed, dish out the $$, etc

I know how it is to get kids out the door in the mornings as well. DD has her tantrums and won't get dressed most of time until the last minute. She is always screaming, etc Drives us crazy
DS is ok, we just have to remind him to get going, etc.
Next school yr, jr. high starts at 7:30 am, so bus will probably be here around 7am I'm guessing. Need to get out door an hour earlier next school yr.


Mac- Yes, I want to do the ornament exchange, whenever that starts, no hurry for me

Ok, gotta run.

Hi to all
