donald, this was your fishing weekend wasn't it...

how many did you catch?

The Amazing Race was fun tonight and next week is the finale.

only one more week of amazing race.
i hate it when good shows end for the season.....

OMG, so many pages to catch up with. I only missed three days.

Marcie - prayers and mummy dust for your friend. The Big C is just so wrong.

Prayers and hugs to all who need it.

Happy B-day to anyone I have missed.

Happy Anniversary Mac n' Mr. Mac. I love Famous Dave's by the way. I would be up for a Famous Dave's pulled pork sandwich any day.

I'm really jealous of those of you that live so close to a Six Flags. I just love those. The one in Gurnee, IL is awesome. Better than many of the others. I only live about an hour or so away, and I go to Gurnee for my opthalmologist every other month. You would think I could go often. I go maybe once a year. I really need to do that again soon. Gotta get a coaster fix.

Went to a wine tasting this weekend. Pretty good, but focus on bargain wines. I missed the tastings of expensive bottles they have had in the past. But 60 wines is 60 wines. 4 hours to taste them all. I came close, but missed about 15. Hung over today.

Also played golf today. Got my base sunburn. For a strawberry blonde/redhead, I actually do tan. I just have to burn alot first.

Have a good week, homies.

 

[macraven]

so......60 bottles of wine down in just 4 hours...

sounds like a fun way to spend an afternoon.....



i live near the gurnee six flags.

there are some days in the summer i just go over for a show in the late afternoon and a funnel cake...

the other six flags i go to is six flags mid america, near st louis.
actually it is about a 15 minute drive west of the city and a nice little park.

they have a couple of rides i really like down there.

about every other year i'll drive down there, get a room for about 3 nights and hit that park.

always eat off site when i see a jack in the box joint.

The Dancing Redheads are here now to preform for tamie's belated birthday..

Thanks, Mac! You da bestest! And thanks to everyone else for the birthday wishes, too.

Today is my boys 6th Birthday and tomorrow is my oldest's 10th birthday, so we are basically in birthday world here.

You poor thing. I get stressed out planning birthdays that are close together. We have two on December 10 and 14. Hope they have great birthday celebrations and that you survive it all!

now, i'm off to dinner with mr mac.
he said, "shouldn't we go someplace special tonight for dinner" (anniv) and i said, " of course!!"


then he said, "great......let's do Famous Dave's"................



i wear my bbq sauce quite well so i said, "why not".......

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many does this make?

I'm glad I'm not the only homie who wears dinner.

If you can spare some prayers, mummy dust, etc.
My FIL(my DH's father) passed away Sat. around noontime.
He died quietly with no suffering. It was expected that he wasn't going to last much longer.
Thanks so much homies, very appreciated!

Sorry you and your family have to go through this. I'm glad your FIL is in peace and hope your family finds it soon, too. Even when you're happy for the person who passed on, there's always a sense of loss that's very difficult to cope with.

I say the person WHO GAVE BIRTH should get gifts too. Who is with me??

Amen, sistuh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dad is improving, but although he was released from the hospital, they had to send him to a rehab center/nursing home because he is in no way ready to go home yet. Although he is making steady recovery from the back surgery, it is leading to all sorts of other complications. Taking him off the diabetes meds (I guess necessary for the surgery?) somehow led to gout. The gout is making it hard on his recovery in general, but the meds for it made him really sick and are causing more internal bleeding. Off those again and dealing with it the best he can. Mom's having as hard of a time running back and forth and him expecting her to do everything for him and be there the full 12 hours of visiting hours. And it's only going to get worse when he comes home and it's full time. I'm just her sounding board right now which is about all I can do.

On a more happy note, happy anniversary and birthday to all those who have been celebrating!

Back to the more somber notes, many of you probably remember me whining about my walking buddy. We walk about 3 days a week together (5-6 miles at a time) and I always complain when she cancels on me just because it's 30 below! Anyways, on Tuesday she found out she has breast cancer. It didn't sound like the doctors were very positive, like "no big deal", but instead more like "if we take the breast, and do chemo, and do radiation, then maybe we can beat it". So please keep her in your prayers if you can!

Wow, Marcie, between your Dad, your friend, and all the regular family stuff, you've got a lot of stress and emotion on the plate to deal with. Prayers and thoughts for all of you.

Hey mac, Happy Anniversary...it was mine last Monday....and DH forgot !!

I cant be too upset it is the first time he has ( and hes looked after me like a wee star since my hospital drama ) and only the 2nd time I havent !!

So you remembered and he didn't, and that was a break in tradition? That's hysterical! My DH forgets every holiday and birthday unless I remind him everyday for a month.

Hope you're feeling better and recovering.

The kind of funny part was that right as her dad left (and she didn't know he was over here since she's out of town with her mom for the weekend), she sent Stephen a text saying, simply 'You suck". Stephen was like . He asked her why and she said "Because you do". He asked me what he was supposed to tell her and I suggested "I'm sorry you feel that way". She continued with some more insults. I only wish she'd sent it a minute earlier and Stephen could have showed her dad that it wasn't all his fault!

Can he block her number on his phone? She needs to get over it. They're too young to date seriously anyway. Kids....

Another long talk with DS. Basically the plan now is that he's supposed to talk to her tomorrow at school and make it clear that they won't get back together. According to her dad, she's still very set on them getting back together. Dad was going to try to make her understand that it was over tonight, but told Stephen that HE really needed to tell her that because she wasn't going to accept it until that point. So we were going through the how, what, and why of what to say. Hopefully he will actually do this tomorrow and then they can both move on with their lives!

.

We live near Brookfield Zoo and it takes us about an hour to get up there, give or take. We bought an AP for $69 and the Parking AP for $75 and have already gone twice. And we have plans to use a bunch of the free ticket coupons for friends.

A great perk is our AP's are good for 6 Flags over GA, so on our way down to hilton head we will stop there for a couple of days and our park tickets are covered

there are some days in the summer i just go over for a show in the late afternoon and a funnel cake...

the other six flags i go to is six flags mid america, near st louis.

always eat off site when i see a jack in the box joint.

Dare we try and meet up there this summer or just stick with Florida

And my first job was at Jack in the Box. When DH and I go to vegas our first stop is JITB, then we cruise the strip chowing on jumbo jacks and deep fried tacos

As if I wasn't in a bad mood from the recital bit.

 

[donaldduck352]

[ky07]

Good morning homies
Would say everything was great here but oldest DS went to spent the night with a friend saturday and about 12:30 am he makes the kid mad and he hits ds in his ear that was operated on with a pillow and it pulls out the stiches in his ear and needless to say we were in 2 different er's until 7:00 am sunday morning.
DW was and about to pounce on the kid but DS got mad at her
Guess he didn't want to look like a baby in front of the friend

 

[keishashadow]

morning all, still chuckling re the pole dance referencefresh picked posies always a good thang

rose - sorry to hear of ur loss

mac - congratulationson the anniversary, i have nothing nice to say about work though

todd - under construction siggiealways interesting compositions from u!

sorry to hear ur dad is struggling

im re the fact that the spurned girls dad felt the need to to a face meet with u re a breakup...have never heard of any such thing. too much drama, kids break up all the time in HS, think her dad is just feeding the fire - jmho though. This is all part of the maturation process, they need to work it out themselves...life lessons & all...parents can't fix everything & kids need to realize it. Your son does need to lay the cards on the table, sometimes u just can't be nice to somebody looking for more than u are prepared to give kwim?

ah well, off to see if the basement is leaking as the soaking rains are moving into our area

Lawrence.....W T Heck??? I'd pounce the kid too.....hope DS is ok and cuts that friend off the list.

marci.....your friend is in my thoughts and prayers. so sad, hoping not too late for treatment. And, Stephen's ex better back off. He can file harassment charges if she turns out to boil a bunny in yer kitchen

Now Bonny.....you need to stay uninjured, ya know. Vacation is just around the corner. Weeds and leaves will be there when you get back. Rest that shoulder!!

Donald - spf30 is good, but did you RE-APPLY it mister Can't wait to hear about your fishing excursion.

Hugs to homies having a bad day, Happy Birthday to anyone I have missed.

Back to work time 4 more days to the weekend!

Actually no
He kept tell DW it was his fault and I said what the you know what and asked him what kinda friend the kid was cause he knew you just had an operation on your ear and no matter how mad he got you never hit someone wth anything especially if you had major surgery .
This kid has major my family has money and we can do what we want issues and DS seems to be ok

 

[circelli]

Its a beautifull day here......which means yard work for me!!!

At least my youngest DS is willing to help pick up pine cones!!!

Wishing everyone a GREAT week!!

 

[avic77]

Good Noon all
I have started my trip report please go read the first installment. i will try to post daily till I get it done but i make no promises. I have to get on my weight I gained 10 lbs between Dh being home laid off and vacation and i am NOT happy about it. I was already about 10lbs over what I like to weigh. So I m getting my butt in gear.

Dh started back to work today It's a relief to know we have a job again. He is a bit overwhelmed today but I think that will pass.

I will try to catchup on everything this week.
Mac happy Anniversary
Those with illnesses pains losses I am thinking of you and yours
Everyone else

[Worfiedoodles]

I have officially made lemonade! ('cause I had lemons, trust me )

I posted last week that ds's first day of school was moved to before Labor Day, smack in the middle of the Universal vacation I planned and booked. No way was dh on board with ds missing the first 3 days of 6th grade.

After some research and a little persuasion, I got dh to agree to move our trip to June 18-28, and our hotel from HRH Club to PBH Club!

This is so much better because 1) it's sooner; 2) ds's FL cousins will be out of school so we can take them places; 3) I wasn't all that psyched about staying at HRH; 4) we would have had to take off work anyway, 'cause ds school ends 6/17, and camp doesn't begin until 6/29; and 5) I was able to move everything (including the flights) and added not much to the trip cost (ok, more than dh would have liked, but less than I originally thought).

Now I'm busy remembering all the things I meant to do sometime this summer, since I have to have them done in 6 weeks!
