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

[bubba's mom]

Ok tell me this isn't wierd I called AAA about ressie for RPR in july cause wanted to find out about the deposit and they told me to call universal and I did and they found the ressie and credit card number and said since it was on file but he didn't know the rates they were charging me and I told him the rate and he told me he assumed they had to have charged me something but nothing took off my card yet

I'm guessing AAA is paying RPR and you are paying AAA? (i'm just glad you were able to get ONSITE....i know you are excited about that!!....hey! guess rpbert1, Lori and I will see you there )

 

[bubba's mom]

Tomorrow is Matthew's Pinewood Derby for Cub Scouts

I already sprayed cooking spray on the wheels of his car this morning. Cooking spray makes the cars go faster

Let us know Chrissy's score....

....and, are you "cheating" on the race/car??

Beg to differ. . .

I'm SO sorry....you a NASSY fan too? I stand corrected

 

[bubba's mom]

sooooo, i split for a bit to buy some produce; come back & what do i find?????

OMG it's 'nannercide bunch of sickos you'll hear from my people

with apologies to Elton John

bring it on sista I got "people" too.....AND I got.........

Funeral for a Friend/Banana Lies Bleeding

The roses in the window box have turned to one side
Everything about this thread was born to grow and die
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day
You said "I'm sorry honey, if I don't squish the 'nanner,
I can't face another day."

Chorus:
'Nanner lies bleeding in my hands
Oh it kills me to think of you squishing him in the sand
I was posting drivel and you were just a man
But my words couldn't hold you so I split the stand
'Nanner lies bleeding in the sand.

I wonder if those changes have left a scar on you
All those burning hoops of fire that you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
But with pixie dust coming down your way 'nanner
You'll make it back somehow.

by the way....love the poem!!

Well the science fair was fun but way too many people in a small area. I also asked why so Late 7PM - 8:30 pm . It still is a school night and well most kids in grades k-2 are usually getting ready for bed then . Well my answer was it is a good time for the parents that work . Well then I had one of these looks and just walked away .This is NYC and it just kind of goes with the flow I Guess. DS was very happy with his medal and that is all that really matters after all.

Not a big NASCAR fan but we are going to Monster Jam for my DS . He loves those monster trucks . I am really thinking this is a guy thing because I just don't get it . I can look at nice cars all day at the auto show but just don't get the driving really fast in a circle aspect of NASCAR or the biggest truck that can smash the most cars aspect of Monster Jam . Going to take the DD to school soon LAST MIDTERM TODAY . I just can't take the stress of these test anymore I am so glad she will be done after today .

I'm glad your ds enjoyed it so much. That was great for him.

Monster trucks are loud, take ear protection.

So you are the one stressed about the midterms? How does dd do with them?

Anyways, if anyone wanted to know, I helped Chrissy do a Cape Fear, North Carolina/Wilmington NC poster for her school project that was due this morning. Ok, I did the majority of it for her, but I had Chrissy color in the water and sand(beach areas). I pasted pics I cut out from a brochure I found at home also. Pasted pics of plantation mansions from the Wilmington,NC area. And I had typed up a little info for it and I pasted
my typed stuff on the posterboard. I worked on it most of the day yest.
Hope she gets some kind of a good grade on it. I'm sure she will, as homework is modified for her.

Tomorrow is Matthew's Pinewood Derby for Cub Scouts
We have check-in for it in the early afternoon.
I already sprayed cooking spray on the wheels of his car this morning. Cooking spray makes the cars go faster

Congrats on Chrissy's poster. Sounds great.

Good luck to Mathew tomorrow.

Lucy, I'm home!

Well, looks like I missed alot. The DIS was slow, and the Community Board posters complained about anything and everything. Gee, it was like I never left.

Anyhoo, hope I am in the right place. If not, someone please tell me where to go. (my employees could probably help on this one)

About the movie DS wanted to see that was PG-13. I can't remember - suffice to say it was about high school kids trying to get into college, and had alot of drinking, drugs, sex. I'm sure it did not win any Oscars.

Tricia - about the cows - both pics looked the same to me.

-Jennifer

Glad you made it home safe and sound.

I bet your employees love you.

Hola amigos and amigas!

Had our PTA luncheon today.....DELISH! So stuffed!

Went and worked out to burn off some of those calories

Then we had our annual water basketball tournment with a team from upstate NY.....

And....

It was the first time we won in 7 YEARS!!!



So in celebration, our boys decided to toss me in...is there something wrong with a 17 year old picking up his coach, flingin her over his shoulder and then tossing in the pool?

Guess I should appreciate before I gain more weight.....



Saw that thread from the CB...I never go over there, but I have to say, do people have nothing better to do than complain?

Woo Hoo Katie!!!! Congrats on the win!

Yea, the water was actually warm.....but its about 20 degrees out!! I had a spare set of jeans and a wife beater in my car. But no undergarments....so imagine how embarrassing it is making sure to cover myself up so my boys don't get a peep show!!!

And word of advice......jeans and commando, is a NO NO!

Commando Katie!

I'm guessing AAA is paying RPR and you are paying AAA? (i'm just glad you were able to get ONSITE....i know you are excited about that!!....hey! guess rpbert1, Lori and I will see you there )

I think he will be gone before I get there, won't he?

 

[bubba's mom]

Janet

He will rise again!

.....I had until 6:00pm on july 3rd to cancel .

Yeah....like THAT is likely to happen

Oh, yeah. Wendy sleeps in a Nascar bedroom. That might make her the biggest fan of us all. BUT, she doesn't have a racing Trip Report right here on the Uni boards... so there...

Maybe she WILL post a NASCAR TR.....ya never know....it'll be hard to top the "Tricia Style" one tho

It was the first time we won in 7 YEARS!!!

you won!
nothing wrong with tossing the coach!
don't think they have anything better to do than complain?? Some people aren't happy unless they are complaining, unhappy or having 'drama'

 

[loribell]

I think he will be gone before I get there, won't he?

I just looked and saw they were leaving on the 11th. Since we are coming in on the 10th maybe we will see them.

 

[bubba's mom]

I had posted this morning before I went to work and told about my misadventures on the icy porch. Thank you to all who showed their condolences for my injuries! My knees are bruised and and my hands are sore, but I'm a pretty tough gal...like I said earlier, I am clumsy and do stuff like that all the time.

Glad to hear you're okay

Barb, you and your naners!

 

[bubba's mom]

Well folks...I'm heading to bed. Have a good night!

I'm just getting here...you're going to bed..... Nite!

Yea, the water was actually warm.....but its about 20 degrees out!! I had a spare set of jeans and a wife beater in my car. But no undergarments....so imagine how embarrassing it is making sure to cover myself up so my boys don't get a peep show!!!

And word of advice......jeans and commando, is a NO NO!

wait...i'm confused The pool wasn't outside, was it??? I figure the water was warm, but I've been picturing inside...you ARE swimming inside right? Thinking your hair is wet and going outside in the cold makes ya feel colder.......

 

[bubba's mom]

brab tell me it isn't true. 1st sqooshin the 'nanner; then this

metro, it's okay to spread the luv; you're a guy - you can get away with it

okay "it isn't true"









Todd....make sure it's 'luv' you spread and not whatever mac is spreadin

Thats awsome and yeah can't wait to see you all.
just hope nothing screwy goes wrong with the ressies and I know I am being a worry wort and guess tommorow I will buy our tickets then I will be finished.

Make sure you have a confirmation printout with you at the hotel to prove your rate you were guaranteed.....can't deny the writing

 

[bubba's mom]

I just looked and saw they were leaving on the 11th. Since we are coming in on the 10th maybe we will see them.

 

[macraven]

it's always good to ketchup, you never know who is talking behind your back or twisting your quotes around..........

[bubba's mom]

Okay...since I am now ketchuped from today, I have an announcement to make.........

I thought Lori deserved an award for the really awesome ketchup job she did the other night. The 'other' message board I belong to gives out 'awards', so I got to thinking (got a little help from DH) and I have come up with the very prestigious......

''Golden Homie'' award

....an award I can give to anyone at anytime for any reason...... (hope that is okay with MommaMac)


So, to the very first receipient, LORI, congrats for a well done ketchup job.... 43 pages and 4 hours worth!!! You are a brave woman!

Congratulations!!!!​

[loribell]

[macraven]

Hello all I guess we are all back here ???

See everyone later Off I go

yup and they even turned the water back on for us without the big deposit i had to do on the other dump.....
i mean, winter holiday home.

i thought of you today mary when i was at work.
the class from hell...........all day long......

Yeah....that was our "summer home" in case they 'foreclosed' this one
I don't "get" the "driving in circles" thing either but Penny enjoys it, so does Lori and Tricia....well, it "does something" to Tricia ...she really enjoys NASCAR! I think those are about the biggest fans of NASCAR we have here We did the monster truck thing once...okay to do once, wouldn't do again....oh, and don't forget your ear protection (it can be quite loud!)

keisha and i really have to introduce all the nassy fans to our friend who is addicted to all that also.
big dude could talk all day long on those cars and events.
you would like him too!

i like being back home again.
nice and comfy.....

My DIS speed is also back to 'normal' too.....guess it was the mega-posts bogging it down? [/QUOTE]

even though it was posted that threads of 10,000 posts or more would go invisible today, Something about Nothing didn't get hit with that.
we were lucky.

yeah forgot to say things worked out a little better and we are satying 3 nights at RPR and 2 nights offsite.

st lawrence, plan it so you will be able to do the fotl on the days you stay offsite. it can be done. you would have to do a split ressie on site to make it happen.

Good to know just don't use any rolled up news papers

Hi all

I must have missed a lot of action here on the DIS in the past 24 hours
I read up about the moving of threads,etc. on the CB boards and also here.
Oh well. I just find things on the DISboards cyclical (going in cycles) every few months in general. That's what I observe anyways
No biggie for me

Yes, Mac, you do a great job here spreading the love
I really do enjoy our thread and love all the homies here



I do feel bad I can never "catch-up" here and individually reply to everyone.
I would have to be here all day to do that.
But wanted to tell you homies that I love you all :

i love you too miss rose princess....
hope chrissy gets an A+ on that project.
and matthew should win first place tomorrow with his car.....

sooooo, i split for a bit to buy some produce; come back & what do i find?????






OMG it's 'nannercide bunch of sickos you'll hear from my people:

with apologies to Elton John

i guess you do read everything janet. brab.........
you saw the nanner............

and lovely song, brought me back to humming it again.
we have lots of winners here!

Lucy, I'm home!

Well, looks like I missed alot. The DIS was slow, and the Community Board posters complained about anything and everything. Gee, it was like I never left.

Anyhoo, hope I am in the right place. If not, someone please tell me where to go. (my employees could probably help on this one)

About the movie DS wanted to see that was PG-13. I can't remember - suffice to say it was about high school kids trying to get into college, and had alot of drinking, drugs, sex. I'm sure it did not win any Oscars.

Tricia - about the cows - both pics looked the same to me.
-Jennifer

1. i agree, it is like you never left.
the jabs started first thing this morning......

2. maybe something in the order of "jump in a lake"?? oh snap!

3. maybe it was "Bring it On".......it was sleezy and cheesy....

4. oh brother, you would have to say that.
we are going to be taught cow 101 when tricia reads what you said above.

Also, homies - just read a few remarks about the "Clique threads". Someone said she was booted off her thread for disagreeing or something. Anyway, just wanted to say THANK YOU to Mac for starting this thread. And also THANK YOU THANK YOU for the kindness of the homies. I can't see anyone getting booted off here.

I remember the conversation regarding political talk, and the majority said to leave it at the door, so as to not risk offending someone.

well, jodie lives by her own set of rules and i think all of us are growing very fond of uncle mitt.........
i'm just playing with you jodie.....my sense of humor is warped you know.


i worked on setting up a chat thread for sometime.
i'm thankful it went through.
we can thank dagny and phamton for being so supportive and making it happen for us.

we all want to belong somewhere.
no one would ever be told to leave this thread.
sometimes i think we are like a special orphanage or a commune.
depends on what i ate the night before on which it is.....

life is too short to be unkind to strangers, friends or family.
i encourage anyone that reads the thread to join in.

no membership fee ..........no committment of your time......just come kick up your heels and yak.....

Oh, yeah. Wendy sleeps in a Nascar bedroom. That might make her the biggest fan of us all. BUT, she doesn't have a racing Trip Report right here on the Uni boards... so there...



First, WAY COOL SONG JANET.

Second, I now have Elton singing "Love lies bleeding in my hands... oh, it kills me to think of you with another man..." in my head.



I think I saw the same girl's post. Where she had been part of a mommy board and got the boot when she had some personal problems or something?

I can't see anyone getting kicked out around here either. We play nice. Mac's rules.

i have been on threads in the community board where i did not feel very welcome or included. that's a yucky feeling.
i once was told to leave a thread......so i did.
all in the past now.

Hola amigos and amigas!
Saw that thread from the CB...I never go over there, but I have to say, do people have nothing better to do than complain?

in my best ronald reagan imitation..........Well, there she goes again....
speaking a foreign language without a translator here....

psssst: i could be your translator..i know spanish..

congrats on the win.
sorry for the soggy underdrawers.......

Hey Homies!

Rosemarie, I feel your pain....I'll never "ketchup" around here!!!
Katie, congratulations on the waterbasketball game! How did you feel about getting thrown in the pool?

I was going to post on the other thread, but do we need to bury that one? I had posted this morning before I went to work and told about my misadventures on the icy porch. Thank you to all who showed their condolences for my injuries! My knees are bruised and and my hands are sore, but I'm a pretty tough gal...like I said earlier, I am clumsy and do stuff like that all the time.

Barb, you and your naners!

i need to go read that.
what ever happened to you, hope you are not hurt too bad.
wait, i think i did read that.
sorry, it's been a very long day for me
i do hope the bruises heal fast so no one will think Mr Alison beat you up..
jk...

Well folks...I'm heading to bed. Have a good night!

kfed won the wet t-shirt contest

whatever happened to getting gatoraide dumped on u after a win

better her than me on a wet tshirt event............

Oh yeah....you're spreadin' sumthin alright










Mary Poppins was a wonderful nanny who sang and danced and made chores fun



good idea Keeping the same "name"....just adding "parts".....

and i blame tricia for what i am spreading.
she gave me the cow dung.

that's my story and i'm sticking to it........

I just looked and saw they were leaving on the 11th. Since we are coming in on the 10th maybe we will see them.

that is super. looks like you will be able to do a bigger meet in orlando!
i hope you get to meet the other homies.

okay "it isn't true"









Todd....make sure it's 'luv' you spread and not whatever mac is spreadin

i read that

Okay...since I am now ketchuped from today, I have an announcement to make.........

I thought Lori deserved an award for the really awesome ketchup job she did the other night. The 'other' message board I belong to gives out 'awards', so I got to thinking (got a little help from DH) and I have come up with the very prestigious......
