Something About Nothing.........#7

No, in the Motel 6, you keep your clothes on as well as the light.

good friday morning homies.


all i have to say is my furnace is still on and it is running.

Sorry about the chills, Mac. It's been pretty cool here, too. I wished for my jacket in the rain yesterday. Not a typical rather warm southern shower at all. Brrrrr..... But we didn't need to turn on the furnace!

i will be in Orlando next week but cannot afford the dark side

<sigh> I am really trying to cut back this year since my company was bought out by our competitor. So no beer o clock club level with annual passes. sniff.

had to share with someone who would actually understand. it is just starting to hit me that i am actually not going!!! I am still looking for some killer deals though - there is still a chance. I soooo wanted to show DB how my fam does Unviersal. Next year...or maybe HHN??? hmmmmmmmmm

but...we will be at westgate and i will NOT be working so i really need to look on the brightside (no pun intended) !!

Ouch, I'm so sorry. We had to cut a trip this year, too. Mac gave you some great tips though. If you're already going to be there, maybe you can find a way to squeeze in a day at UO. Or save for HHN? Hope you can work something out.

I picked up DD and a friend at school today and she started telling me she didn't know who was coming to our house!

I told her she never asked. She claims she did.

Could it be that I forgot when my 5-month old water heater was close to being on fire last night?!

Piece of junk connectors from China. If DS hadn't gone to the downstairs fridge and smelled smoke, we might not be here right now.

So, now, even though I've hurt my foot and it hurts to walk, I have to keep trekking down to the basement so as not to have a repeat of last weekend.

Not on my watch.

Wow, good thing DS has a good nose! Hope you're getting a chance to put that foot up.

This would be a weekend to enlist the labor of the kids. Get 'em with guilt.

If that doesn't work, bribes are always good.

money should only be spent on fun things.
food is highly over rated...

Food? Over rated? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know it, too. Otherwise you wouldn't be begging for Andy to box up Shane and send him over to cook.

Come to my house and we'll do some fun food. Andy and BF will be there, too. Right, Andy?

Can you bring someone else with you to clean up for us? We'll be too busy having fun for such distractions.

Hi all,

Hope you're all having a better week than me. Just was told that the company that I work for (for 5 years) will be closing its doors by end of summer. Really bad news since I work pretty close to home and am able to get my littles back and forth from the sitter without too much trouble. Also money was decent and hours flexible.

I know I'm not alone. This is happening all over. But it really hits home when it happens to you...

Have a Nov. vaca planned, plane tix purchased, park tix purchased. Only hotel can be cancelled. And if I do that then NO FOTL. Not sure what I'll do....

Very sad,
E

Ouch again! Poor Homies everywhere having very bad luck.
Welcome to the huggy bunch. We feel your pain. I'd wait until the last minute to cancel the hotel if you absolutely must. You may be able to get a job sooner than you think, and it would be sad to lose the reservation. Maybe you can do a less expensive hotel so you don't lose all the money on the flights and tickets.

Or sell a child on the black market. I don't know who to contact on that one (wink-wink, nudge-nudge, say no more, say no more).

will you have to take the dog with you on wednesday when you go out for a cold one??

take the pooper scooper with you and some plastic bags.

and if you find someone that is annoying you that wednesday, tell them you have some tootsie rolls you want to share with them..
don't mind me.
i'm just a joker.

I hope it's a small dog.

Sorry I haven't even been lurking... My Art Fair is this weekend and getting ready for that, without a car, has been interesting to say the least.

Rain is forcasted for Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday... on and off, hopefully more off than on.

I hope to catch up here when it's over, but then again I have to then get ready for our summer road trip.

So much to do, so little time.

Hope everyones begining of summer is going well

Sorry everything is so challenging this week. I mean really, what a week to be having car problems!

Are you an artist yourself? We want pictures!!!!!!!!!!

My dad was an artist. I didn't get any of those talents. My art looks like grade school stuff.

 

[macraven]

well, look who the cat drug in and it's not yet 2:00 am......


want to go shopping?
wal mart is open 24 hours

The cat tried to drag me in, but I was too heavy.

I actually just finished shopping online. I got a few shirts and a pair of black gladiator sandals. I'm trying to dress up more for my arena fights.

My Walmart is supposed to be open, too. But it's impossible to get anyone up front to check you out.

Let's go to yours. After I've napped a little.

DH and my mother both think I've got a bone spur--I don't know what it is, but its killing me.

Was supposed to be helping 2 other moms with the end of the year dance recital for basically 16 hours as a dresser for the younger girls. I called the dance school owner and explained and she tried to make me feel guilty, but all yesterday, I just sat with my foot up. I'm wearing my orthotic shoes in the house--which even my DS is like, "You know you're not allowed to wear shoes in the house."

Oh, well, the owner will get over it, but I'm not making my foot worse by being on it all day.

And wow you guys are up late. You guys should've made my DH's lunch for him, then I could've slept in.

 

[Metro West]

Morning all...any big plans for the weekend? It's yard work and a grocery store run for me today.

don't laugh but the biggest plans i have for today is to go to Racine WI

my dirt devil doesn't work and needs to be checked out by their shop.

you're not laughing are you?






minnie i hope you don't have a bone spur.
i know 2 people that were seeing a doc because of that.
i won't tell you anymore until you tell me you don't have a bone spur..

ouch....


yea, we should have made the lunch for your Mr but tamie I'll blame her since she is not here yet. said it was the last of the bologna and she promised it previously to me.....


that's my story and i'm sticking to it.



hope youse homies have a great day and weekend.

 

[EPRV We love Disney]

E, this is very, very sad news.

i feel so bad for youse.
i know it is hard times for the country now but when it happens to a fellow homie, it smarts real bad.......

hopefully you can find a job that will start after your present one closes down.

you should still do the vacation in november.
it would be like kissing money away since canceling everything would not allow you refunds.

so, sometime in september you will be out of work.
start UCB for that month.
you won't be using childcare services so that is money not spent.
put that amount away in the cooky jar to be a fund for the hotel.

you'll probably get 8 months of UCB until you can find another job.


just do the vacation.
it may be the last one in awhile so go enjoy yourselves.


eat some ice cream tonight.
that will make you feel better.

i always feel better when i eat about 5 scoops of that stuff.

Thanks Mac. I started off with a nice cold beer. Ice cream is sounding pretty good too.

Your advice is good and I agree, I think it would be a real bummer to cancel a vaca that we have all been excited about for over a year.

Will work on ways to make it happen...

Ouch again! Poor Homies everywhere having very bad luck.

Thanks Tink,

I was thinking of selling a kidney... but a child would probably bring in even more! Hmmmm.... maybe we can upgrade to PBH!

Thanks Minnie!

Just got home from a slow day at work, going to usher for a play tonight. Have fun, ya'll!

Wow, bone spurs are NOT good. Go to a podiatrist as soon as you can.

How many dances are the little girls doing that they can't come in their costumes? I'm sure the dance school owner will recover from your pain eventually. So sad the way it is affecting HER. Sheesh....

I'm always up late, but yesterday was pretty extreme. I think we finally went to bed around 6:30 AM. DH was playing a video game all night that he didn't want to quit. I just couldn't sleep, so I spent money instead.

I'll send you some of my husband's little carry in your pocket meals that heat up in 90 seconds. Then we can all sleep in!

Morning all...any big plans for the weekend? It's yard work and a grocery store run for me today.

Big plans indeed! You know we need pictures of this adventure.
I'll be doing about the same. But those plans in Orlando are prettier.

don't laugh but the biggest plans i have for today is to go to Racine WI

my dirt devil doesn't work and needs to be checked out by their shop.

you're not laughing are you?

Now I am.

hope youse homies have a great day and weekend.

It's true, I promised the bologna to Mac. I've restocked, though. If Mac is willing to share, I'll ship it.

Nothing like warm bologna to keep everyone regular.

Or you can come here and pick it up from the fridge.

Good afternoon homies

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Afternoon/evening all ...

 

[macraven]

hey homie tamie, i was raised on fried bologna sandwiches.

i still love them....



i finally called it a night at 4 this morning.
didn't get to sleep in, woke up at 8:30 this morning....
sheesh.........no wonder i'm cranky today.


i said to myself at noon today, screw the dirt devil vacuum sweeper.
it is not worth it to go have it repaired since it is 4 years old.

i'll buy a new one!!

i told that to Mr Mac while he was on his 3rd beer watching a ball game this afternoon.

he said," ok, whatever you want."
"hey, can you give me another cold one out of the fridge....."


it is all in the timing.


i see bonny beats my temperatures right now.
her ticker says it is 52 in the great white north.
i'm at 49 now.
she wins today's cookies.

Mine says 46 right now and it hasn't stopped raining all day. I don't want to win this contest! We tentatively planned months ago to go to Noah's Ark (waterpark in Wisconsin Dells) tomorrow. I think with a forecast in the low 50's and rain, it just might not be the best day! So...when's summer?!

 

[donaldduck352]

Good evening all.
Teenagers 18+ will give you ulcers!!!Long story.
Got my boat back today and it runs like a scalled dog.I do miss the jet skis now..I think it was a ploy to get me too bye the ski's..He only wanted $1500 for the pair with trailer,but like everyone else job hanging by a thread J couldnt justify spending that kinda $ in these tough times..Plus DW said NO!!!!

isn't that how it always is.
wife has the last word........

on another note, what's the story?
i think you should write a book
you could give a lot of advice to the others before their young uns hit the teen years.

and you could make a lot of money with that book donald.
just think, then you could buy the jet skis.........

 

[donaldduck352]

Its a story that will never be whrote mac.I feel like I failed as A father!!

On A lighter note,if Mick Foley can make $$$$ on a book about wrestling I think my book-it will never end seems like-could be sold on Amazon!!
You never know!!![!!/I]

 

[macraven]

hang in there Mr Duck.

Teens do grow up eventually.



and if you start to get gray hairs, color it.

 

[Metro West]

Just watched another exciting episode of Harper's Island and I still have no idea who the killer is.

This is turning into a good old fashioned horror story now.
