http://www.wdwinfo.com/guidelines.htm#INFRACTION

thank you phamton for helping out with that.
i knew it had to be points for infractions.

can we still say flogging?
it is a Universal word..........shrek started it.

So how do you know if you have bad points? Do you get a pm? I don't know that I have ever received any.

if you have points, you would know it.
you do get a pm or some notification when you have crossed the line and have a time out period to serve.

Whoa.....whoa......WHOA!!!

not into S&M or flogging - sorry mac & lori

they were screams, like from the shrek preshow how you are supposed to scream after that word each time......get yer minds out of the gutter

but i learned it all from you............

 

[t-and-a]

:Uh, wow!!! You're probably right...a good thing ya got it all fixed so you didn't have maybe twins on the millineum....2000 ....2...twins, get it?

(i crack myself up!)

Yeah, good thing I took care of that! Two kids are plenty for me!

So Zack is a blonde huh? I really hope you knew and liked that teacher. If that had come from someone I didn’t know well it would not have been pretty.

A millennium baby would have been good! Or millennium twins as Barb said.

Yes, Zack is a blonde! and yes, I do like that teacher...she LOVES Zack and she keeps me informed. You'd just have to know Zack....he's a smart kid, but "blonde" in soooooo many ways....when that teacher said that, I had shared one of his REALLY bad "blonde" moments with her. Zack had an assignment for her class that she had e-mailed me about. She had given him 5 rough leads that he was supposed to turn into good leads. He was to choose one of them and make it perfect and re-write it in his best handwriting. I asked him to see it and he showed me the piece of paper with all 5 on it. I asked him where was the one he chose to make perfect.....he said..."right there Mom, it's number 4"...I said, "OK, now where is it written in your best handwriting?" He said...."I erased it and re-wrote it"....I said. "Don't you know you were supposed to write it on ANOTHER sheet of paper?" He said...."MOM! You didn't tell me that!!!" Now do you see what I mean?

Well yesterday my baby got her hair all cut off. She has never wanted it cut but recently she decided she wanted it shoulder length. She was excited because it was long enough and she was able to donate it to Locks of Love. It really is cute and now she can actually brush it herself!!!!!! So what does she do with it this morning? She put it up in a stinkin ponytail!

That was really a sweet thing for Ally to do! I bet she looks really cute with her new hairdo. It may be hard for her to get used to wearing it down at first, but I bet she will want to later.

I'm on a quick break at the house...had to come home and intercept a package in the mail before the kids make it in on the bus...birthday present! Gotta go "ketchup" later....

Dear Tricia,
This is an invitation for you to come on up to Maine to hide-oops, meant visit. You can have your own bathroom and bedroom, and more peace and quiet than you will know what to do with.

Love,
Penny

My OWN bathroom?!?!? Quiet???

I'm on my way...

Oh man!

Okay, I remember the moans from Shrek's pre-show now. See I didn't get to go last summer cause Ally didn't want to. I really need to go once with just my buddies. Leave the kids behind.

Thank you for clearing that up Tracie. I was kinda wondering myself.

They looked more like "yeah, baby" ahhhhs... now we know they were shrieks of terror.

I thought so too! Oh well.

i love the disease part.....


so kewl janet!

Now that song is stuck in my head. Thanks Janet! But it is much better than the Disney one that tends to get stuck.

thank you phamton for helping out with that.

What can I say. I guess I must be an angel.

I know I have done a couple of those using things like "!" to type a prohibited word. Guess I have just been lucky.

Yeah, good thing I took care of that! Two kids are plenty for me!

I remember that story.

She looks very cute, if I do say so myself! But she looks so different. She can not stand for it to touch her face.

My OWN bathroom?!?!? Quiet???

I'm on my way...

A bathroom with no male to share it with!

Hi all,

didya save me a bed in our new home? Hope it's not the sleep sofa, those hurt my back...

Years ago, I slept on a murphy bed at a friends apt in NY city. I was scared the whole night that the bed was gonna fold up into the wall!!!

Hi Sharon! Where ya been?

 

[keishashadow]

So how do you know if you have bad points? Do you get a pm? I don't know that I have ever received any.

they find you & leave presents - points (not the good kind either)

if really lucky, only a strongly worded warning missive from the benevolent mods (insert great sucking up sound here )

i'm all about the rules, now off to re-read them jik

 

[Sharon G]

Tracie - my son has ADD. He was diagnosed in middle school. We new beforehand that he was really forgetful and couldn't stay on task, but when he got to middle school with the increased responsibility of homework assignments and projects it really became an issue. I'm not going to go into detail here and bore everyone to death, but it was something that could not be ignored. He would be in tears every night wondering what was wrong with him. This went way way beyond the normal forgetfulness of being a teenager.
We did go ahead and give the perscription. Tried several different ones and different dosages before we found one that works great. No side effects at all except for a loss of appetite.
He only takes this on school days and it only stays in your system for about 8 hours depending on what you take.

There is no right or wrong answer on how to treat ADD/ADHD. Some of my friends were horrified that I had ok'd medicating him. He will be graduating this year at the top of his class! You have to do what is right for you and your child.

[RVGal]

So, I'm thinking of having a rum & coke.

Make your plans accordingly.

Here's the infraction list for anyone interested:

as to violations - what is a filter violation ?

 

[Sharon G]

Hi Sharon! Where ya been?

Hi Lori - lots of small issues with the family keeping me busy.

We are getting my MIL's house ready to put on the market. She is running out of cash to pay for the nursing home, so time to unload the house.

DH and his sibs are trying to decide who gets what. Some things have come up missing.... I think it's going to get ugly.

We are headed down there on Saturday to repaint the interior and wash all the curtains. She was a heavy smoker and the walls are a nasty yellow from the nicotine.

 

[RVGal]

as to violations - what is a filter violation ?

If I understand correctly, and goodness knows that's highly unlikely, it is using symbols or whatever in place of letters so that you sneak a bad word past the filter. You know, like putting 7734 on a calculator and turning it upside down so that you could giggle at the naughty word.

 

[phamton]

A filter violation is typing something to get around the filter. If you type a bad word that is filtered it will just automatically show up like this: ****

But if you change it so the filters don't catch it, then you get a warning and then points. For instance, let's pretend that the word: "Darn" is a bad word. If I typed the word Darn! it would automatically show up as ****! But if I wanted to try and circumvent the filter I might type: D@rn! or D*rn or D arn! So I would be warned with a filter violation.

Yes, you will get a PM if you are warned or are given violations. it will also show up when you go to your profile. Others can't see it but you will be able to see it on your own profile.

salute

i despise the smell of rum & coke on their own, carry over from bartending days i suppose-gets cloying when bunches of peeps are downing them.

I like the smell of rum & the smell of coke; mix them together & my stomach churns...sorta like the smell of a pitcher of kamakazis although that's from downing one too many of them

never did get around to receiving my ashes today, i'm damned for sure now.

sharon - sorry to hear about MIL, i've been there - it's heartwrenching all the way around...hope it goes smoothly for you

 

[Sharon G]

We are also trying to re-create the last 3 years of her financial life in case we have to sign her up for medicaid. She just stuffed bills all over the house, not a filing cabinet or folder in site!

I have to give a plug for hospice care. It has been a wonderful experience for MIL. Someone visits with her almost daily. She has this one favorite lady who comes in and sets her hair! She could (and does) have it done at the beauty shop at the nursing home, but seems to enjoy the time spent with this special person!
They also cover some of her prescriptions that insurance doesn't!

 

[Sharon G]

Off to make dinner.

I'm taking the lazy way out and making hamburger helper and a salad.

YAY! No hockey practice tonight....more snow instead.

Glad hospice is working out well for your MIL.
