Hi homies hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Got a postcard this week from Universal about the AP event on Nov 20...why do they wait till the last minute to let us know about this stuff....I could've used that $127 airfare they were offering last week.

Oh well, I guess I'll just stay home and save my $.

Coach, let me offer my belated congrats on your championship win, that's awesome.

Hello everyone....

Wow so much to catch up on but first Tink any news on the puppy dog

So it's been a while since I have been on the boards...the move from Arlington, VA to O''Fallon, IL went well but was exhausting. The packers were great and we managed a door to door move. Organized the last of the boxes today. There are still some things to sort through but that is all in the basement.

Enjoying this evening with a bottle of red wine, the fire place going, and watching the Harry Potter movies on ABC Family.,...bliss. First real relaxing evening. Love my new place.

Jude

PS the Harry Potter movies are making me wish I was riding FJ - can't wait for Christmas when I will the there.

 

[Tinker-tude]

Jude, your relaxing evening sounds wonderful.......

I may have to try one some day.

No news of Brodie yet. I have a great friend in NC who is driving all day tomorrow to help me search next week. For a small area, it sure is hard to get news spread! We'll be putting a big ad in the paper, seeing if radio stations will say anything, and spreading flyers all over the place.

The prayers and mummy dust are appreciated!


Mac, have fun with the ketchup. I have some on my hotdog.

 

[minniejack]

We wandered over to Amish country--payback for the past 2 weeks of solid hunting from DH Enjoyed some really good cheese and dandelion wine--yummm.

DD's boyfriend's dog ended up not having to have a c-section and had 6 puppies (one already died)

Crazy lifestyles editor in the paper wrote an article all about HP world--and how exciting it was until she wrode FJ (seems like she didn't know it was a roller coaster and kept her eyes shut the whole time--ummm, duh?)

Brit--glad your move was uneventful and I hope you can find all your kitchen supplies (the last time I told the movers just put it somewhere--I don't care if I don't find it for a year...put a fork in me, I was done.)

Aww Tink that's sad to hear--hopefully, he's sitting by somebody's fireplace kicking back and relaxing with some idgit that thinks they're doing good by picking up a "stray" and they'll return him quickly.

More Harry Potter movie night! Order of the Pheonix tonight on ABC family.

Minniejack - LoL yes I know what you mean on the movers. They once packed a trash bin with trash in it on a move in Italy. So I make a point of trying to get into every box as soon as I can just to survey what is in it. What really annoys me is a box that says living room/movies and I find clothes from the bedroom in it as they have a bit of room left to fill up.

Tink - I wonder if Craigs List would help - it couldn't hurt. They have a lost and found section.

Mac - are you awake yet?

Donald - great You-Tube yes I was teary-eyed

Keishashadow - I get to hug my veteran everyday but I wish I could hug my Dad who was a WWII and Korean war veteran. He passed away 3 years ago and Veterans day really makes me think about him.

 

[Coach81]

Tink- GL on finding your pup...

Don- those destroy me everytime...God bless them all...

Well we had our first contest this past weekend.. eewwww my fears were confirmed.. we are a very weak soccer team... oh well.. all we can do is our best.. we will try to improve as the season goes on..

My little one (8 year old) is going to get his tonsils out this coming Wednesday... I'll take off of work Wed and Thurs to stay home and take care of him...

I know it is very minor surgery.. but you still get nervous for anything with your children...

Have a good day everyone...

They stole my TAG!!!!

From today's Frazz cartoon! Although our shirts are the bright yellow instead of orange, but I'm the one who came up with the "visible from the space shuttle" line!

On a different topic - Coach, we went through that with my middle son, also at 8. One recommendation I have is to get him some markers and a dry erase board (if you don't already have one) - my son literally wouldn't talk for about a week afterwards - even though the doctor said he was fine to - think it just scared him or it just hurt. So he wrote all his requests for everything (drinks, food, toys, etc.!) but also had more fun playing with the dry erase than he would have just paper and pencil. Of course it was newer and cooler back then. Also, make sure you have liquid (kids/baby) tylenol. We didn't because he'd been swallowing pills for years and of course he couldn't/wouldn't after the surgery so had to run out and buy the liquid stuff. Good luck to your son!

 

[marciemi]

Boy, where is everyone?

Okay, another pic for you - this one of Matt's "school" photo! Doesn't he look, um, military?!

ur a good daddy! poor kid must've had quite a few throat issues to have the surgery, good luck...buy lots of ice cream.

marci we skipped vets day festivities this year since mr had to work 4-12. My weekend was doing the holiday clean of the kitchen, then 2 college visitations Saturday & yesterday = 1 tank of gas down the drain. Pump said $3 a gallon this am. A little early to stick it to us for the upcoming holiday imo

have a good day all

 

[Brit_Jude]

marciemi - you must be so proud that is a lovely picture

Coach - I feel for your Son. I had my tonsils out at 14, while that was a long time ago now I still remember everything. Painful but well worth it to not be sick all the time.

For Thanksgiving Hubby and I booked a trip to Disney - really it is so he can play golf, he has two games booked. I'm just going to relax.

So what is everyone else planning for Thanksgiving?

Excited to have Matt (see pic above ) home for Thanksgiving for the first time since he left in June! No big plans - we won't be going home to Detroit (or living there) for the first time since 1993 - last time I made Thanksgiving dinner Matt was a year old! Stephen (son #2) is going to help me try again! Definitely will be a low key weekend though - other than of course the Black Friday battles! Never done them in WI - we'll see how they play out!

Finally got my countdown calendar done for our January trip, and finally took pics, and finally got the uploaded on the computer, and then finally to photobucket. Yes, this is a many step process! So thought I'd share - I know, it looks a lot like my other countdown calendars! But I promise, new trivia and mostly all new pictures!

 

[minniejack]

Tink just wondering about your dog--anything?

 

[keishashadow]

hey all, have a great weekend, mine's booked w/HP movie (all IMAX & regular shows sold out when i bought tix online Wednesday for time period i wanted, had to go with the digital 3-D) w/the mr. I can't remember the last time we did dinner & a movie.

Most of Saturday's shot for us too, with scholarship testing for boy @ St. Vincent, whilst i hang in area & shop hee hee! He did get accepted to Indiana University of PA, aka IUP aka ,I Usually Party.. Still waiting to hear from their honors college.

marci shout out for the bestest countdown calendars

donald may be onto something, im still waiting to see if my DHs side of family is going to grace us with their presence on Thanksgiving.

Thanks! He went through the surgery with no problems!!! He was just fine yesterday, even asking to eat some mac and cheese last night. Mommy is staying home with him today.. they are watching "Revenge of Kitty Galore" on PPV.

We feel the same way.. we are confident that this is for the best..

We are headed to my mom's house for thanksgiving lunch.. and will probably meet my pop and other family members at Ryan's for thanksgiving supper (my wife refuses to cook, long story).

We're going to my brother's house so no cooking for me

We went for the midnight show last night and it did not disappoint. They had a costume contest before the movie and 4 people participated, 3 in house robes and 1 guy in a baseball cap who said "I'm a muggle" needless to say, the muggle won.

I agree, that calendar is great!

Thanks! He went through the surgery with no problems!!! He was just fine yesterday, even asking to eat some mac and cheese last night. Mommy is staying home with him today.. they are watching "Revenge of Kitty Galore" on PPV.

Coach, I'm glad to hear your boy is on the mend.

Hope all you homies have a wonderful weekend.
