Something About Nothing...........#8

[Tinker-tude]

Tink just wondering about your dog--anything?

Nothing yet. A very good friend drove twelve hours to help me spread flyers and contact people this week. Our gut feeling is that he's safe somewhere, they just don't know he's loved and missed HERE.

Thanks for asking, and thanks to everyone who has wished us luck. I appreciate it very much!

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.

That's a shared experience with the packed waste basket full of trash. Guess they aren't allowed to second guess about what people consider "trash".

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

Thanks, he's listed now on craigslist under pets AND lost and found. We're also using Pet Amber Alert, running ads in the paper, hitting every vet's office and shelter, MissingPets.com, and every other thing that we can think of. It's just going to be a matter of the right person hearing through the grapevine that the cool dog they found/picked up belongs to a family who loves him dearly.

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...

Thanks, Coach. Hope all will be well with your son. NOT a fun thing.... And sorry the soccer team had such a bad day. It's the fun that counts, right? But nothing is more fun than WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding, sometimes you learn more from the games that aren't so great. They'll probably listen to you more closely now.

Boy, where is everyone?

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

Dashing! He looks ready to embark on his new set of adventures. He'll be a great assett to his group. Weird how fast time flies!

Must be a crazy weekend for everyone getting ready for Thanksgiving.

I know we're going to be in a rush over the next few days. Too much to do in too little time!

Donald, be glad you're not a turkey.

Happy Sunday!

Is anybody out there... Hello...Hello...

DD is watching HP6 in one of her classes at school...yupp...that's why they went to school a week early this year so that they could watch movies on the tax payer dime. Anyhow, remember the days when parents would be screaming and crying that their kids were being exposed to magic. Gasp.

 

[Mad Hattered]

Deathly Hallows Pt 1 was awesome! I really enjoyed seeing the little kids there being scared!

Oh yeah.....we're back from our awesome little trip to Orlando.

[minniejack]

is it just me? Store bought turkeys are tasteless. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad DH is a hunter to give me some "free range" eatin' Just like the pilgrims and I picked up the deer that we had made into summer sausage and cajun sausage

I grilled the cajun added some onions, peppers, shrimp and tomatoes over rice--yummm And the prince and princess whined that all they wanted was plain old deer steak--you can't win 'em all.

[Coach81]

Hope everyone is doing well... I'm good.. still just starting the soccer season.. we are going to struggle all year.. we are not talented.. but the kids are great..

 

[minniejack]

soccer season in your area coach? It's just ending here.

Ditto where is everyone? I'm about ready to delete the Disboards from my favorites buttons

Grandbaby talk?

I hate to ask...any lost puppy news?

Happy belated bday

off to Christmas shop...Does anybody have any thoughts on ordering televisions from Amazon? They're about $50 cheaper than Best Buy on the one I've got my eye on.

Hey, all.

I guess most of us are in the same boat - too much to do and not enough hours in the day to do them all?

We spent Thanksgiving in VA with DH's mom. She was nice enough to let us bring our dog with us. My parents wouldn't let us do that! No news on Brodie, and Rock would have been miserable without us AND him. Rock had a great time after he got used to the idea that we were just on an adventure and his world wasn't turning inside out. And he loved going for walks in a new neighborhood with new sights. He also had fun trying new ways and places to steal food in a different house. It took him no time at all to figure out how to get in the garbage in the kitchen cabinet under the sink. He also got into the pot of stock right under Grandma's nose. And butter. He snagged that a few times. If we hadn't brought his crate, he would have eaten EVERYTHING he could find, in cupboards or out. Heck, he tries to steal stuff off your plate if you turn your head and he knows he's out of your peripheral vision.

We spent the day after Thanksgiving at DH's older brother's house. The kids had a blast playing with their young cousin, and we had a great visit with the adults and older kids. DH's sis-in-law wasn't feeling well (she has MS) but they were still very gracious and let us come visit on the one day that mom-in-law left free for us. They are very down to earth and just great to hang out with. MIL likes to plan out every minute of our time when we're in VA. But she spoils us rotten with all the great home cooked meals you could ever want. Oh, the guilt of being slaved over. Maybe that's why we find non-family vacations less stressful.

On Saturday and Sunday we spent time with DH's younger brother's family at MIL's house. We had leftover Turkey Day stuff (yum), went on a long walk to the lake, and visited all afternoon. Then we went to their house after church on Sunday for an early Christmas dinner. Our kids all played together and had a great time again. They made a deep fried turkey (awesome), mashed potatoes and gravy, and all the other things that go with a turkey dinner. Talk about tryptophan build up! We had a fun time visiting and watching a crazy show about "pumpkin chunkin." Sis-in-law gave us a huge plate of brownies to enjoy on the drive home. Sadly, we left it in MIL's cupboard. We regretted forgetting them all the way home.... They were SOOOOOO good, and we really wanted the sugar to sweeten the long drive home.

We got home late Monday night, spent Tuesday recovering, and I still haven't unpacked. At least the van is sorta clean.

Awesome pic, as always. DH's younger bro and fam are going to Disney and Universal the week before Christmas. The kids have no idea yet. My DS-9 asked today when we're going again. I wish I knew!

Yeah.. Minnie.. we are just starting the soccer season.. never quite understood why we play at the coldest time of the year w/ short-sleeved shirts and shorts

Beware of the shipping charges from Amazon and other internet stores. Sometimes you actually do better just getting it from your local store.. But I have heard good things about Amazon.. they seem to do a good job. Good luck on the new TV... are you guys gonna do the new 3D TVs or no?

I agree Tinker.. between.. school, practice, training.. and family.. busy.. busy!! Glad you had a nice trip.

Only two and a half weeks until vacation!!!
