morning homies.
it is one degree.

gotta get my comments in now that barb is still snoozing.
then, dash off to work.

My son is a whiz with ramen noodles. He also eats spaghettios straight out of a can. Where did I go wrong!

a great man he will become.
wow, he even eats them cold, right out of the can. i am impressed

Hmmm... So THAT is what it is...being a Leo! Here I've been thinking it's the 'blonde' thing....

i'm a Leo and so are you barb

thanks...i feel like i had that many posts to ketchup on reading....

hey.... I own the last page (547)



that's a first for me...I've never owned a whole page before.....



.....then again, probably easier when you're the 'night shift' and talk to yourself after everyone has gone to bed

congrats on owning the page.

do it again!

Barb - your snowman lost one of his balls. He's only 2/3 of a snowman now!

at least on my monitor.

gee, i didn't notice

Alright, 4 out of 10 pages done....if I can manage 3 for the next 2 nights, I should be golden.

Have to hit up the dentist AGAIN.. Now it's the other side of my mouth and the bottom row!!! I can't bite into a pickle slice on that side its so sensitive!! I am gonna make this dentist rich....



Mac, I need those cliff notes for the weekend for my catching up.

Well nitey nite all!

hope the dentist can make you better.
it is cruel to have that type of pain

I know how you feel.... (I had 7 pages of ketchup ).....

Sorry to hear more teeth problems....and yes, your dentist should feel lucky to have a 'good' patient like you Hey! He did a great job on the other side...right? Get it all fixed up now, so you have no problems later on.....

Why did nobody tell me that Child's Play was so funny???? For a "Horror" movie, I a whole lot!

Been SO long since I've seen it, I don't remember it being funny.... I do remember enjoying it...glad you did too! Sorry you won't get to see Ad over the holidaze....but, let's hope this is the last one apart

morning homies.
it is one degree.

It's 15 degrees here and it feels like 9 out...or something like that...i haven't gone out yet!

gotta get my comments in now that barb is still snoozing.

and what is THAT supposed to mean.....

i'm a Leo and so are you barb

I am!!!! How exciting!!!!

congrats on owning the page.

It's COLD here this morning! We actually have frost on the ground. Brad had to start his truck and defrost the windows before he could drive to work. I think it got down to 28 last night. Our high today is only 50, but we get back into the 60s again tomorrow. We usually don't get below freezing until late December/early January. I hope they got all the trailers winterized or there may be some cracked pipes.

I won't be around much today. Gotta shop. Again.

Have a great day shopping....I'm out the door right now to get busy with that

Hope you have good luck!!!

since you all really dont know me or where i work, and i can trust you to be quiet, as we can share things here......

here goes:
the firing squad was out yesterday.
lets just say, this was what the office was like when the offical email that a certain someone was out the door:

now , before you get all sympathetic during the holidays, this was a much, hhhmmm ..for lack of a better work, UNLIKED PERSON. this individual could suck the happiness right outa the best moment ever, like remember when the hostages were released when reagan was sworn in and the whole country cheered? well, then after you would have a moment like the woman presumed dead in fatal attraction that tried to kill Michael Douglas in the bathtub one more time and everyy person watching had the bejesus scared right outa them.....
that kind of person.

anyway....
there i was ....humming a tune.....not even thinking about the tune....then i start to sing the words in my head......
and it was....I AM NOT KIDDING YOU.....

ding dong the witch is dead! which old witch? the wicked old witch! ding dong the wicked witch is dead......................



told yah i was monkish.... maybe i should see if Tony Shaloub needs a sidekick........

Penny - sounds like it's for the best that they're gone! Congrats!

Got the rest of you beat - when I went out walking this morning, it was -6 without the wind chill! Wore my face mask and around my mouth it froze in a pattern where I'd breathe in and out - sucked in on the side of my mouth and blown out in the middle! My eyes were watering and then freezing just as fast! Maybe it was a bit cold to be out!

Katie - sorry to hear about your dental pain. My mom went through a lot of that and it ended up just being miserable. Seems like every time you solve something it starts something else. Hopefully since you're obviously a lot younger than she is they'll be able to solve it this time! Good luck!

 

[RVGal]

Katie - It sounds like you are making your dentists car payment for them again this month... or house payment depending on the size of the bill. Hopefully this will be the end of the teeth drama for you!

Barb - You and Brad must be related. He grew up in Minnesota. He HATES the cold. As soon as he graduated from high school, he packed up his meager belongings and moved to Florida (where he eventually attended college). The one or two times a year that it snows here, I'll say how pretty it is... and he'll always say something about how he saw all the snow he ever wanted to see in the first 18 years of his life. He doesn't need to see it again. Ever.

Penny - If you were subconsciously humming Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, it MUST be cause for celebration that your coworker got fired!

Marcie - I don't even think our temps know how to go into the negatives down here.

DM - I have never seen Child's Play. The last horror film I saw was one of the Halloween sequels... the bad one that had nothing to do with Michael Myers... and I saw it in the theater during its original release. I was in high school and succombed to peer pressure.

omgosh..... (oh, and that one was my fav ) I hope nobody heard you singing.... "don't let your true feelings be heard Penny".... Ya know, I believe we all have at least 1 person like that at work.... It really wouldn't sadden any of us if they were fired..... now... how can i fire my bosses ....

Note to self: no need to visit Marcie in the winter .....
That is just entirely too cold..... (that's the good cozy pj & hot chocolate day )

unfortunately ...... (but loved the way you 'termed' it )

He doesn't need to see it again. Ever.

We say the same thing!! .....of course, when we realize snow is in the forecast...... Actually I HATE cold, snow, cold wind...all of it. DH "doesn't mind" the cold, but hates the snow. You married a very smart man And, guessing I've never met you in person, or attended your wedding or any other family affairs, that leads me to believe, that no...I'm not related to Brad (altho, we could try to arrange something ).......

DM - I have never seen Child's Play. The last horror film I saw was one of the Halloween sequels... the bad one that had nothing to do with Michael Myers... and I saw it in the theater during its original release. I was in high school and succombed to peer pressure.

Peer pressure....does it every stinkin time!!

Oh and Tricia.....meant to ask how you made out shopping..... 6 hours out and I did pretty good.... DH even bought me something

Lookit my ticker.... .....tick, tick, tick.....jolly ole fat man will be here soon....

Okay kids...off to 5:10 soccer game, then bite to eat, then decorate our tree (finally!).....

Hope to catch you l8rs tonite.....(BUT, that depends if CSI is a rerun or not....)

[RVGal]

Barb - I did okay shopping. I got Joshua 2 pairs of pants on sale and Mom got him the $40 special edition Super Mario Bros Monopoly. I wouldn't get him a $40 Monopoly game, but if Grandmom feels the need... I'm not going to stand in her way!

It's indoor soccer now, right? No more butt frozen to the bleachers stuff?

Rose - You sound busy. Glad you stopped in for a quick "hi"!

Raven - I live WAY southeast of you. It was 28 when I got up this morning. We're supposed to have temps in the 70s over the weekend. Weird.

Barb - You and Brad must be related. He grew up in Minnesota. He HATES the cold.

He was born in Albert Lea... moved to Red Wing when he was about 3... then to Mankato when he was 5 until he was 18 and headed south.

Thought I would stop by and say hi to all you homies

 

[marciemi]

Hi guys - I had a day at work today. My boss was being a complete dweeb. Once again yelling at me for something that I had NEVER had explained to me before. I tried, politely, to say that he hadn't gone over it and he was just ranting and raving. I'm sitting there at the computer with my back to him. You know how you get where your throat tightens up and your eyes fill with tears and you know that if you have to say a word your voice is going to break and the tears are just going to overflow?

Well, obviously, I was at that point. Finally, I had to turn to look at him and I think he realized it at about the same time. He just yelled that he was going back in his office and left. I sat there upset for awhile, then went on to some other work. A bit later he came back in and more calmly tried to talk me through some of the steps for what I was supposed to be doing before realizing that I did NOT have the capability on my computer to do what he wanted me to (never mind that I'd never even been told about this before). So he told me never mind, he'd take care of it.

When I went back in later to talk to him about something else, he did apologize for "raising his voice" because he's "wound pretty tightly" right now. Guess that's the best I'm going to get. Yes, I realize he has a lot on his plate right now. His FIL is in the hospital and his son is getting married next weekend. Yes that would stress anyone out. But my point is (that he keeps ignoring): Fine, I don't mind being yelled at. But preferable when I've done something wrong, not because I don't know about something I've never been told!
