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

[RVGal]

Who asked about my Smurf child? Janet I think? Okay, the blue from the navy icing washed off him just fine. One bath and he was back to his normal caucasian coloring.

However, Brad was with Daniel in the bathroom last night. He had Daniel on the toilet before bath time. If you don't make him go before he gets in the tub, he tends to go IN the tub. Anyway, Brad starts yelling, "Tricia, somethings wrong! Come see this!"

I rush into the bathroom where Brad is pointing to the contents of the toilet. He is worried because Daniel had some very odd colored poop. I laughed and said, "Remeber that dark blue icing from your birthday cookie? It's just working its way out."

That's weird. Are you expecting anything good?! Just don't have them break your door. That takes months to fix.

Not "good" but Critically Important.

 

[bubba's mom]

My kids regularly walk around with stuff on them somewhere. By bath time, you can usually tell everything that Daniel had to eat that day just by looking at his shirt.

Hey, yeah. Did you ever get your contractor and, was it UPS, to get your door fixed?

 

[macraven]

Good Morning.



I always wonder about those infos. When I can't sleep, I tend to watch those. The only thing keeping me from ordering all the products, is I would have to get up and go downstairs to get my purse for the credit card. DH is thankful for my laziness as this saves him money.

Well, need to start movin' around and get the bags packed. My coworkers and I get to spend the week at the Holiday Inn Express. Perhaps I will do a mini trip report when I return.

i only fell for the onion dicer chopper..........

Good Morning all off to work today but had to say that I TOO HAVE THAT GREEN RUG . Can't wait till Feb. we are getting rid of it and re-doing the masterbedroom Just bought our bedroom set and it comes 2/21 , Now we need a new rug ,new paint and well all the help we can get to get the stuff out of the room .

the list is growing:
coastermom, marcie, sharon, who is next to fess up......

when i first saw the pics of the green carpet, i just assumed you all used it as a putting green.





we are now taking applications for morning wake up duty.

Oh, yes, took some time, but it's all fixed, and they paid up. Well, except for the moulding on the outside that needs to be painted, but we're waiting for some warmer weather to do that!

So funny that Daniel wears his food! My father has a good friend his own age who still does the same thing! In fact, one time as a joke, my parents wrote him a song called "Bill's Shirt of Many Flavors." Hope you can teach Daniel to grow out of it.

Morning all ... Barb, are we in for more bad weather? Going to have to check the forecast since both Mike and I work tonight. Speaking of work, it's annual appraisal time. It's a running joke with me. About 8 years ago or so one of my managers wrote in "Areas for Development" that "Jodie should learn more patience with those who are less competent and less intelligent than she is." (How is that for a back-handed compliment? ). Anyway, the running joke is that every manager I've ever had just copies the same statement verbatim year after year after year. I've never been able to shake it. I can't tell you the last time I told anyone off, but I can't seem to shake the same development suggestion. Can't wait to see if that's on there again this year. I have a new manager too.

Anyway, happy cold. Good morning. Good night for me.

Cute pics, Barb!

Yes....you will probably get snow...but it's supposed to move quick (yay)

Think of the yearly review "compliment" as just that.....It seems to me they can't find anything else negative to say, so they just keep putting that down.... Let's face it, hardly anyone has a glowing, perfect review that doesn't have some type of 'needing improvement' on it So, maybe it IS a compliment???

 

[AlexandNessa]

Not "good" but Critically Important.

Hmmm, the results of your blood test so you can apply for a marriage license?

Ok, I'm in for Wednesday and Thursday for your wake up calls. Hopefully, MF is back on Friday because my big fat butt is sleeping in on Friday!

No green carpet here, but I do have a nasty brown shag in my basement!

 

[RVGal]

Oh, and Sharon, I meant to tell you that we have white tailed deer here, but they aren't nearly that fuzzy. I mean, they don't have a thick furry coat... ours are more sleek looking.

Did that make sense?

Geez, I need to start multi quoting so I can remember what I wanted to say to everyone...

 

[macraven]

Just like here and some of the schools in the montains that call off way before ours do only had a 2 hour delay

woo hoo
grilled cheese sandwiches today!
isn't that what your son always asked for when you cook?

good, he will fit in fine with me.
daniel and i both wear our food well. i'm a spiller also. ask jodie

sometimes when i spill and we are at taco bell, mr mac tells me he can't take me anywhere nice to eat.......

<begin rant>

I want to punch DHL in the face. Repeatedly. How in the bluest of Hades can a company be so poor at delivery???? I'm expecting a package to my dad's house. There was an attempted delivery, but the ticket said "call (name of person)" No tracking number, no additional info, nothing.
That DHL office was contacted and said person was asked for, but guess what---HE WAS NOT IN THAT DAY! Now nobody (me, dad, stepmom) have any idea where the package is or when it's supposed to be delivered.
I tried calling DHL this morning, but nobody had any idea what was going on.

</end rant>

i'm guessing what ever was to be delivered is for someone either than yourself. you leave soon
call back and demand to speak to the supervisor or manager on call.


what did you think of the show last night?
i found lots of false statements in it.
i started to make a list then said screw it, i'll just watch for the fun of it.

That's weird. Are you expecting anything good?! Just don't have them break your door. That takes months to fix.

and is YOUR door fixed yet?


did i tell you we still don't have a mailbox.......before christmas the carrier slid into ours and broke the pool out of the ground.

 

[AlexandNessa]

Oh, and Sharon, I meant to tell you that we have white tailed deer here, but they aren't nearly that fuzzy. I mean, they don't have a thick furry coat... ours are more sleek looking.

Derp! I HATE it when that happens!!!!!!

and is YOUR door fixed yet?


did i tell you we still don't have a mailbox.......before christmas the carrier slid into ours and broke the pool out of the ground.

You did tell me about your mailbox! That is STILL not fixed?! That sux! How do you get all your fan mail?!!!!!

 

[macraven]

Ok, I'm in for Wednesday and Thursday for your wake up calls. Hopefully, MF is back on Friday because my big fat butt is sleeping in on Friday!

HIRED FOR WED AND THURS
do i have a second for the nomination?

Oh, and Sharon, I meant to tell you that we have white tailed deer here, but they aren't nearly that fuzzy. I mean, they don't have a thick furry coat... ours are more sleek looking.

yes and no
well, maybe

i only fell for the onion dicer chopper..........

I have an onion chopper thingy, but I bought it for $300 at a Pampered Chef party. Okay, maybe it didn't cost $300, but it was more expensive than an onion chopper should be. Thank goodness I seem to have fallen off the sell you something party invite list. I used to have to go to the candle things, the basket things, the chef things, and the "adult" things. Maybe I enjoyed the "adult" ones, but other than that, they were boring and you wound up buying useless crap just so the hostess could get useless crap for free. I guess moving to the boonies has its advantages.

My carpet is a muted brown & beige berber. Bleech, but with kids and dog, it holds up well.

 

[macraven]

Derp! I HATE it when that happens!!!!!!




You did tell me about your mailbox! That is STILL not fixed?! That sux! How do you get all your fan mail?!!!!!

i make daily phone calls to the post masters direct line and fill his message box up. if i start early enough, no one else can leave a message as i fill it up.
it gives me great satisfaction

mailman is SUPPOSED to leave mail between my doors. i am on a driving route and some stupid people don't read the instructions for my address.
a trip to the back door of the post office at 5:30 and pounding on the door does the trick.

Sit yourself down and start writing.... I hope your package arrives safely soon....and why no tracking number?? UH...hello?? It's 2008 people....everything should be tracked!

Please tell me you bought that game FOR YOU (or for your DH), then gave it to Bubba.

It's actually illegal in many places to buy M rated games for anyone under age 17.

I WILL tell you we bought DH's for him for Christmas....and Bubba watched. (He also owns Battlefield 2 & Counterstrike...courtesy of DH) He has learned to play by watching Dad. For instance, if Dad needed a 'bathroom break', Bubba would step in and play for/as him They have played CS online together many times also, and DH thought he would enjoy playing COD. Don't care if it's legal or not, it's my money to spend where i choose, for WHO i choose and i really don't hear Activision complaining I spent money on their product (And, I think that law is to protect the kids who ask a stranger to purchase it for them cuz their parents won't allow them to buy it.)....which, is again, the 'talking' to your kids thing instead of just trying to shelter them from the world and just taking the easy way out and saying 'no'.

Years ago we had a 'talk' with him regarding 'fantasy' and 'reality'....like on video games it's okay to run from the cops and shoot the enemy in war....however, that is NOT how it goes IRL.... He understands and is very mature for his age.... If we felt he did NOT understand that, he would not be allowed to play. DH keeps a watchful eye on him while they game....my DH is strict when it comes to gaming. (ie: he is NOT allowed to play the last GTA [Liberty City Stories?]...due to too much of the 'n' word) My DH knows all the ins and outs of the games they play....who do you think Bubba learned it from??

Btw...speaking of.....whatever happened with you and all your 'games' that were stolen? Did you get any replacements?

Enter the world wearing food on your shirt, exit the world wearing food on your shirt ....sound eerily familiar like, "enter the world in diapers, leave the world in diapers"
