Marcie- I remember seeing your count down calender and being in awe,now i hear you make your own chrimbo cards...
I am hopeless at things like that.
Im trying to learn to cook.......
I made tomato pasta from scratch(with fresh herby things and stuff) and it was the most nerve racking thing Ive ever done.
The boy was amazed.
Is that really sad !!?
Well, making my own Christmas cards is the only way I can subject the rest of the real world to all my pics from the year - unlike you guys who get to see them all as we go! (Want to or not!
)
And I've never made tomato pasta from scratch - or much of anything for that matter - so you're way ahead of me there! And obviously I don't think it's sad, or I'm completely pathetic!
i never heard of the twilight series either before all the movie hoopla
, still haven't waded thru the HP series
; Mr. King has a new tome (tomb ha-ha)-anybody read it yet? last one, duma key was his best i a long time imo
Now where were you about 6 months ago when I was preaching to everyone here to read them?
I know Penny did but don't think anyone else got into them. I enjoyed the Twilight thread a lot more when it was about the books, but the last few months have been all about the movie. I'm sorry, but reading about women my age lusting over a teenage boy just kind of turns me off!
Yeah, when you read the book, you can tell yourself he's really 107 or whatever, but they're all "OMG, Rob looks so hot in this picture!" (the real actor) and I'm just like "um, he's not much older than my son!"
Hi Janet- you got me mixed up with coastermom(Mary), her DH's grandma is sick. My grandma died in September
Wow - I did the same thing. I read that whole reply as being from you too, and got confused when she mentioned her "oldest". Figured it out then!
Do any of you guys watch Survivor? The old guy on the show teaches in the town I live in. In fact, both of my kids had him for Physics. He was awesome in last nights episode. I won't go into detail in case someone has recorded it to watch later.
He's one of those cool teachers that the kids remember for life. One of the things he does every year with the kids is make a catapult that hurls pumpkins!
Like Mac said - that's really cool! Unfortunately each kid only gets a few teacher like that in a lifetime. Neat to see him on something like Survivor (and no, sorry, but I haven't watched since the first season!).
I recorded it but haven't watched it yet. The miniature killer returns!
Eh - it really wasn't much about the miniature killer at all. I didn't like the conclusion to that whole series/plotline and thought it would clear it up more last night but it was pretty boring. The rest of the episode was fine (2 other plots going on), but I think the miniature stuff was just a ratings draw!
which son? your musician son that plays at the church?
if your son's doc does the cutting and burning the good tissue around the wart, i don't know why they return.
maybe he could wish them away. don't laugh. some lady at church and her friend told me you could wish warts away. they did that and it happened.
i still am in awe of that.
no kidding, it happened for both of them.
am i still on your list?
Yep, it's the musician son. We've been there I think 5 times so far and it seems to work for a couple days (and we apply the topical compound W at home between the visits), then they just pop right back out (or multiply!). The doc did say today that it isn't working so next time he's going to try some newfangled chemical treatment
where he paints them with something and then 4 hours later you have to remove it (and hopefully the warts) as it burns them off. Joy, eh? I guess we can try wishing them away since nothing else seems to be working!
And I'm really annoyed. Stephen (DS15) had his sophomore conference today. Scheduled it by email a couple weeks ago (all kids have to go in once with their parents once during sophomore and junior years - fall for sophs and spring for juniors). I rush back from the doctor with Eric, Royce takes time off from work, Stephen gets a pass to miss class, we all show up and they tell us the appointments not for another two weeks, and no, the counselor can't squeeze us in today. They convince me and my husband I had the date wrong (we had narrowed it down to those two based on my work and DH's travel schedules). Well, I go come, pull up my email, and guess what? Yep - showed it was today! Forwarded it to them (cc'd in the principal) expressing my irritation and basically got the reply (from the counselor, who we don't like) that "everyone makes mistakes".
Yeah, well, when you do - don't try to pass it off as mine! So now we get to do it all again in 2 weeks!
And of course you're still on my list!
i was busy writing an essay.
hope i got an A+ on it...
Nope - sorry. WAAYYYY too many capitalization errors!
Can you tell I've been studying for the ACT every night with my oldest?!
And Marcie a Packers one would be cool by me.
Greenbay play in the same colours as my Football (soccer) team and Ive followed them for years.
Who's your team? Matt's a big soccer player and huge Arsenal fan, but I'm not sure if that's the same league as where you are or not!
If anyone has any spare pixie/mummy dust, sprinkle some out for Stephen. He's been auditioning for Grease all week and gotten 4 callbacks for one of the parts he really wants (yes, I think 4 callbacks for a high school production is ridiculous too!). Anyways, it's down to 3 kids now and he had his (hopefully last) callback today. It's not a lead, but would be a big part for him. They don't know when they'll post the cast - possibly not even before the Thanksgiving break, which is of course stressful. Especially since he didn't swim because of this. So share any spare luck you have! Thanks!
Well, THAT'S my longest reply in a while!
... it's 19F here this morning so youse guys aren't far off what our temps are up here in Canada ... that's just wrong!! You can take comfort though knowing that it'll get much colder here in the next couple of months, while hopefully 24 is as cold as it'll get down there ...
(and I do Karate so Ive got his back !!
) I'll be cookin up a storm in no time !!
