Something about Nothing, come join in........ Part 3

[bubba's mom]

I am trying to put myself in those people's shoes. If you were to call my house and talk with Brad, he would (eventually) know who you were. I talk with him about you guys. If you were to call next door and talk with Carol or my mom, they would (eventually) know who your were... although they are both extremely suspiscous by nature and would probably treat you as a stalker anyway. If you called anyone else in my town, they would probably think you were a loony. Friend in a box? Get the net!

My DH would prolly figure it out...my neighbors...uh-uh Heck...the next 2 up the road here don't even HAVE computers

Some of us are fortunate to have family as neighbors...so, that works....

Forget the net Tricia...get the straightjacket....

 

[bubba's mom]

Just FYI, in Michigan our phone lines were NOT connected to our power. A few years ago during that big power outage (caused by the Consumer's Energy idiots in Ohio), we didn't have power for nearly a week, but we had phone. Here in Green Bay because nearly all the phone service is digital, we don't have phones if the power goes out. But probably a lot of places still do.

ALL my lines are underground (phone, electric & cable) and when my power goes out, i still have phone.... which, doesn't make a difference since we have cell phones..... matter of fact, the last time we lost power (Thanksgiving nite) we didn't know what time is was....so, had to power up the cell

I warned her that she may have people coming up to her for months telling her about the strange lady calling them about her!

Good thing....she'd be wondering

Thanks - I was feeling really stupid that it took me so long to remember it!

Oh Marcie...don't feel stupid... it was a SMART thing to think of....none of us here did

 

[yankeepenny]

okay i am starting a new ditty......
if you have to check up on a threader, just say////////

if you are missing
well outa the blue
we're your friends in a box
we'll call and check on you!
keep us on speed dial
and get a mobile phone
we will track you down, no matter what zone!
come hell or high water,
bad weather or good
we'll be there for you
like good box friends should

 

[marciemi]

Would you need to tell them that you knew her from online? I'm just thinking if I called, I'd say something like "I'm a friend of Lori's. I live in Wisconsin now and we heard about the storms down there and I was just trying to reach her and see if she was okay." Why would they need to know where you were friends from or whatever?

Barb - but none of you were down at Disney the same time as her for two weeks. It was kind of funny. First I decided to PM Mac and tell her that I thought Lori and her husband had different last names which might be why she was having trouble finding her. Then I was feeling stupid because just yesterday I erased nearly 5000 emails (yes, really!) from like the last year, including all the ones I'd done back and forth with Lori before our trip and I was thinking I knew I had had her husband's name. Then I thought "oh, man, I even had her phone number there!" THEN, finally, I thought "Wait, it's still saved in my cell!"

Luckily I don't have a lot of real friends to take up space in my cell phone so I still have people like Lori, who I never actually managed to meet in person, in there! And Mac in case she ever loses power!

Boy are you creative for this time of day! Enjoyed your poem!

 

[bubba's mom]

Whew....what a ketchup

Bet mac is glad she doesn't have to cliff note anymore

Penny....loved the poem! You ARE creative How long did it take you to come up with that....or are you one of those 'naturally talented' people who just spit it out?

So, after dinner tonite, Bubba & I went in search of new sneakers for him. (Before the messy sleet/rain tomorrow....he desperately needed new ones...toes were going to shoot thru the front of his old sneakers anyday )..... anyhow...I was in search of New Balances or Nikes...how did we end up coming home with Heely's?? Well...at least his toesies will be warm and dry

Is it okay to wear them on your next Disney trip? I think you should go over to the TPA&S board and ask to make sure!!

....oh the controversy I could start.....again! The next (& only) Disney trip planned is the cruise....after that, no Disney for awhile...... I get annoyed on the DCL forums over there when I mention it's our first and last DCL. They all jump on me and say "No....you'll be hooked and rebook onboard"....yeah right....DCL is once and that's it. Next cruise will be different line...someday....

Oh and no wheels in skool...just for out of skool...Mom's rulz

BTW, I got a 2 girls, one cup t-shirt that I'm fixing to wear to Universal this weekend. Do you think anyone will get it?

Some will look at you like "WTH?" others will laugh. Some will be like "NASTY, MAN, THAT'S NASTY!"

 

[the Dark Marauder]

DM - did you wind up getting sleep? I sure hope so!!

Sleep?

Yes, I did eventually Collapse.

 

[tlinus]

[KStarfish82]

Evening everyone!

Just finished my final so I am officially done with classes! at least until Jan....

Oh by the way, I mailed my ornabuddy yesterday.

Well gonna get some rest, which I desperately need!

Whoever is affected by tomorrow's storm, be careful! Let's hope for early dismissal, or at least no swim practice......

 

[macraven]

So, are you Lori's new official stalker?

I am trying to put myself in those people's shoes. If you were to call my house and talk with Brad, he would (eventually) know who you were. I talk with him about you guys. If you were to call next door and talk with Carol or my mom, they would (eventually) know who your were... although they are both extremely suspiscous by nature and would probably treat you as a stalker anyway. If you called anyone else in my town, they would probably think you were a loony. Friend in a box? Get the net!

no one will ever get lost with us around.
i make lots of phone calls.......

and i'm thick skinned.
no matter what the person on the other end says to me, i always thank them for their time and tell them i won't bother them again.


friend in a box.
remember the son of justin timberlake..........

That is great news Marcie!

Now, can Lori call all the people that Raven called and tell them not to sick the Feds on her or whatever?

or shall i call the people back and say she has been found?

I warned her that she may have people coming up to her for months telling her about the strange lady calling them about her!

guess who's name i gave when i called.................

Thanks - I was feeling really stupid that it took me so long to remember it!

i'm glad you remembered!
that is great you called and got her!
thanx homie!


keep her number safe marcie.
if you talk to her again, tell her we can make cookies for her to eat until the power comes back on.....
we'll all mail her cookies..............isn't it queen penny that is the cookie maker?

you are a poet and you are a way kewl homie.........
you summed it up quite well.

i was going to ask that about the names as what i found on the internet made me wonder about that.

all i have are the names and addies given to me due to the ornabuddy.
