I think around noonish...I will try or have Bob do it for me!
Thanks to everyone for the positive energy. How could it go badly now?!
:goodvibes

*see* you guys tomorrow!

LY All!!!
MEL
 
Just wanted to post and tell Mel I hope everything goes well tomorrow. What time will you be done? Can you post or can someone post for you so we all know it is done and you are o.k.?
 
I was starting my post as you were finishing or maybe you are psychic :rotfl2:. Either way thanks for the information.
 
Dawn--Camryn is so cute!!! Would have definitely hooked up in DFW! Have u been to the World Aquarium? My girls loved it!

V--love the shark story---Ab said she saw lots of Gulf sharks whilst parasailing over Destin! But the water was so-o-o clear and pretty! :goodvibes

Jo---$7500.........a month or a year?? I don't think you could find ANYTHING here for that.........you could probably buy several neighboring counties! :lmao:



Houses---this one is 2800 sq feet..........3 BR, 4 bath, 2 living/2 dining (1 GIANT great room), 1 small office.........miss the game room and basement in this one, but love kitchen, each room with its own bathroom, and the view! It was $300K with 20 acres which is an expensive house for this area--most around 80-150......but you can pay a lot less......many folks are buying land and building a house like ours on the top of mountain to get the view. Property tax is cheap but you get what you pay for with volunteer services and inadequate school funding.

Fort Worth had a really low Cost of living and this area is pretty close........CT sucked--little house with big mortgage and big property tax.
 

Hi girls! Sorry, haven't had a chance to check in, we were out all day yesterday at Knott's Berry Farm.

Mucho thanks for all the well wished for Gramps! :hug: Apparently he is doing well enough to be released into to hospice care at home. That's where he wants to be, so that's where he's going. :goodvibes

I have some fantabulous pics of our trip to Knotts, the Anti-Disney. Will upload and post soon. But for now here's Evan on the Log Ride:
logride.jpg



And here's what's to come.... "When good highlights go bad", "I found the Stay Puft Marshmellow Boy", "Mexican Tea Cups", "Esays, Rucas and Heinas, oh my!" & "Where's the Beef?" :teeth:
 
T: That's great to hear he is doing well enought to go home :) :hug: I can't wait to see the rest of the pics.... looks like a fun day just by that one Evan looks like he's having a blast!
 
T- I am glad Grampa can go home and be in the peace of his home. Even has the best face in the log pic! I wanna pinch those cheekies!

Mel- I will SEE you tomorrow. :hug: :hug: Stay strong!

Jen- Can we hook you up with Millionaire Matchmaker? Maybe you could get yourself injured and find a single doctor to help you through the recovery? no?



Thanks everyone for the PM's. I have decided to come out of hiding. Be prepared to "see" siggy to return! If I get effected/infected anymore by the Stalker, I am prepared to IGNORE AND CALL OUT. If you see me post some crazy post, you will know where it is directed! KWIM??? PM me if anyone has any other ideas.
 
Good for you Jen! :) I looked and didn't see any option to "hide" so to speak and you shouldn't have to ....

Ohhhhh...Millionaire Matchmaker! I loooooved that show. But them ladies were witchy and crazay! :lmao:

Hmmmm...injure myself. I'm actually injured right now...maybe I should go hunting docs tomorrow.

On Saturday night, we had a family BBQ after my brother's baby shower. A very dear old friend came to the BBQ...whom I haven't seen since I was a child. She arrived during a rain storm. My brother took the umbrella out to meet her...and they came into the foyer. I didn't see the puddle on the floor...and I got so excited I did the "T"...and ran straight at her. I did the splits into her arms...and luckily she was there to catch me and save my life. My knee is sooooo jacked up. I can barely bare weight. Yay for me.

So, I'm homeless, boyfriendless, jobless...and I"m living with my motha. Yay! Score for Jen. A doctor will surely want me. :rotfl:
 
That's probably best, Jen! :thumbsup2

Dawn- Camryn looks so cute!!! :cutie: I love the pillow... did you make it?
 
Hi Fockers!! :goodvibes I`m trying to catch up! I`ve been reading most of your posts, but jeesh!!! miss a day and your screwed!! :lmao:

Got a new dog today! hes a 3 year old Basset Hound, got him from a neighboring (I`m using spell check on that one!:lmao: ) shelter,,it took alot of calls and had to get the cats updated on their Rabies shots to be approved. but we finally brought him home today!! :banana: hes so adorable! A great dog!!! just getting to know his space. he likes getting into the trash. but he has a really great disposition and the kids love him! he finally fell asleep on the couch,,hasnt slept all day poor thing...

Jo`s sister is moving to NYC?! oh no...Jo is going to miss her! more reason to come to the States and visit us!!! :banana:

Dawn,,glad your getting out and around!! hope your feeling yourself soon!! :hug:

Did LauraLee ever set up that big water slide for Micheal?

OMG!!! I just did spell check,,,guess what it suggested for Fockers!! :lmao:
 
Jen,,,I found that if I right click the pic I want just choose the "save as" option. and then save in your pic file on your computer...then go to the "browse" option on the Avatar area

I love KBF. Every time we went to California, we went there!!

What!~ I mean, yes I am getting some greys here and there, but I still got my grove on, dress fairly "in style", dine at ...

Do you wear oranges??? :lmao: :lmao: Sorry, it's late and I'm bored and it struck me funny.


Hope everything will be OK Mel. I've got a freind who has to do the eye drops for her Glauc. She is hoping it won't get any worse.
 
Tanya- How do I add a picture to my avatar from photobucket?
there should be one on photobucket that says image url.... copy that and paste into the one with the website... otherwise you can use the other option if it's on your pc
 
It took me all day to catch up reading so let's see if I can remember what I wanted to say to each of these quotes...

Bob did it in the office. He was awake the whole time. He would probably be embarassed if he knew I was talking about it here, but he's not easily shamed! He kept frozen peas/corn on them all day yesterday. Didn't stop taking Vicodin. She said she usually gives Tylenol 3 but he's "sensitive" so she gave him Vicodin. (Personally, I think Vicodin is overkill, but I'm not brave enough to tell Bob) He's sleeping right now. I slept in the guest room last night.

Oops, got confused about where I saw this and posted the reply on your TR. :rotfl: It doesn't pay to have a life on the weekends. ;)

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I READ all SIX pages posted since I last logged on. I REPLIED to who know how many. Then I hit spell check, discovered I don't have it loaded on this computer and.... LOST EVERYTHING!!!!

Ouch! I hate when that happens!

Hope Bob heals up quick.. Scott's "Plumbing is still in tact" he will NOT do that. I offered to get fixed too but he did not want that either. Especially since I wanted 3 kids he thought I should wait.. (I will say if it came down to one of us having surgery... here is what Scott would say.... "I'll drive you" might be tough for you to drive back home after surgery) ...

DH never wanted to have it either but I refused to pump my body full of medicine with side effects after I turned 20 and started reading more into the side effects. So it was either he go get it done or be happy using another contraceptive until I hit menopause.

Every since Sara celebrated her birthday last year in Disney.. Joshua has been talking about it.

That makes me nervous. I really want to do Christmas at WDW which would automatically put us there for DD's birthday but I know DS would feel slighted about never having his birthday there. But his is the middle of February no where near any vacation days.

I just talked with my mom, who is bedside with Gramps. He hasn't woken since we were there yesterday. I am so grateful that I went yesterday, looked into his eyes and gave him that kiss. My heart is torn - it soars because I had that last moment and it breaks that I had that last moment.

:hug:


He's building a shelf to put our frontload washer and dryer on. It's such a pain to bend over and do the rotating and stuff. The baskets don't fit in front of them without the door hitting them. I guess he went to a model home this week and saw this and thought he should do it. It'll have room to store the laundry baskets under it. He da man!

You are so lucky to have a man that not only comes up with projects but actually completes them. I actually prefer DH not to come up with them. He uses a lot of glue and way too many nails in his projects.:rotfl:

THey did turn out good.

Made them in the Smaller loaf pans.. they cook faster.
AND they HAVE to SPLIT APART at the top.

Hey Janet...
Do you like your's A. Hot out of the oven,B cooled a little or C Cold and THE NEXT DAY? or D All the above

Mmmmmm.... I love nuts in my banana bread but the kids hate it so we compromised and put chocolate chips in. DD :love: choclate chips. Yet, she hated them in the banana bread. I guess next time I know to leave hers plain.

Nothin' to write about other than I did test the new GPS tonight. I had it guide me to work. It was absolutely correct. So cool.

That's so fun! If I get one for Christmas (DH is acting like he doesn't think it's a good idea) I'm going to use it every day before we drive to Chicago over Spring Break just to get used to it and have fun seeing if it's very accurate.

LEO COMES HOME TONIGHT!!!!!!

:banana: :cool1: :yay:

We went out to Applebees for lunch today after church with my best friend and her husband.

That really is scary! I'm glad she's doing better. My niece is a fainter. On Mother's Day she fainted at Cracker Barrel. The only thing they could come up with was she fell in the parking lot and she seems to faint anytime something traumatic happens. She got her ears pierced a second time this weekend and I thought she was going to faint in the chair.

Have a look at this thread It's hilarious why they've got 2 sets of ADRs :rotfl2:

Ugh, we took my mil out to lunch once. Anytime we go with her "we" take her out since she never offers to pay for meals (not even her own). Anyway, the bill came to a little over $25. I left a five on the table and we got up to go, she grabbed my arm and told me I forgot my change and she knew it was too much tip so I must have forgotten it. :sad2: That's pretty typical behavior but since I won't go in her house (just think smelly and roaches every where) I have to put up with the restuarant behavior.

red.......that's what was on sale!

we just tried it out--daran was on it and I jumped on......and it tipped me out! :mad: And NO, I do not weigh more than he does.......but my weight seems to be centralized in the butt area. :sad2:

Samantha Brown just spent the weekend in Orlando (I think) and went to a guy who makes hammocks by hand and immediately flipped out the hammock she tried to sit in. He had to show her the proper way to get in and out of a hammock. :rotfl: I guess I should say that she does shows on the Travel Channel and is currently doing Passport to Great Weekends. I just assumed all Disney Fans would know her since she's had a few Disney travel shows on in the past.:rolleyes:

As if my Disney sickness isn't bad enough....

WTH are you doing to me?????

Tomorrow is the dreaded "needling" at the Glaucoma Drs.

:hug:

Had a beautiful walk it only took 1.75 hours this time so we're getting quicker, we then went to the supermarket and I decided to make a keylime pie, when I got home though I'd forgotten half the ingredients. So I had to go to a smaller store closer to home to get them. We then played 9 holes and whilst David got Ellie from school I made the pie and so far it's yummy, well the bits I tasted from licking the bowl were.

We were eating at Cheeseburger in Paradise the other night and DH was considering the key lime pie because he had never had that before. We ended up splitting the chocolate cake though. I guess, I should look into making one but I'm not sure if it would get eaten.

And the worst.. THIS IS BAD GUYS...

A lady I am in choir with... her husband committed suicide yesterday . Their daughter was in with their new grandbaby and they were having a family reunion... he left early to "Check on the store" (they own a "Feed and Seed") and he killed himself there.

HOW DO PEOPLE LOSE ALL SENSE OF HOPE... that this looks like it will END all your PROBLEMS ??

How terrible! A new grandbaby and he felt the need to end it all? :grouphug: For your friend.

Oh yeah, There'll be some re-programming , for sure! Chekc this one out... he let him watch JAWS!!!! And here I was all worried it would be Batman.

Poor Leo. We went to see Hancock this weekend and right when the previews come on down plops a guy and his two sons in front of us. The youngest had to be about 7. The language was just terrible. I don't think the theaters should allow anyone who looks under 13 into the movies marked PG-13. Obviously the parents don't care.

OK listen...I"m pricing Christmas airfare. And for real people...I will be paying per person what I normally pay for both Jon and I round-trip.

I know it's answered below me but the airlines are losing tons of money and now that gas is skyrocketing they are going to have to start raising prices drastically. In the end I think we will all be paying for their failures with our tax dollars...:(

I do a few surveys for cash and when I hit 35 I went into the next age bracket too

That explains why I haven't seen many surveys from Pinecone Research Lately. I turned 35 last month.

OMG my DSis Emma has just called to say she is moving to New York ASAP

Sad for you but exciting for her! I've always wanted to live in New York. The one night we spent there on our trip back from Disney was torture.


Is anyone watching So You Think You Can Dance? I know V likes dance shows... B's dance team planning on going to the convention that several of the choreographers from SYTYCD are doing this year. How fun will that be?!

Um... a lot?!?!? I :love: Mia Michaels routines. She does seem to be a little overbearing to some of the kids if they don't get her right away though. I couldn't believe she told Will he needed a new partner the week before last. It was true but still to say it while he and Jessica were just standing there seemed so mean.

And he doesn't like Disney! he says it's a money scam!

Talk about a deal breaker!

And here's what's to come.... "When good highlights go bad", "I found the Stay Puft Marshmellow Boy", "Mexican Tea Cups", "Esays, Rucas and Heinas, oh my!" & "Where's the Beef?"

Evan's face is priceless! I can't wait for your people watching pics!

Thanks everyone for the PM's. I have decided to come out of hiding. Be prepared to "see" siggy to return! If I get effected/infected anymore by the Stalker, I am prepared to IGNORE AND CALL OUT. If you see me post some crazy post, you will know where it is directed! KWIM??? PM me if anyone has any other ideas.

Stalkers are bad... I put my account in hiding a long time ago because every time I went to my favorite thread a person that I hated chatting with would jump in and start posting to me and I go tired of it. I've left it in hiding because there are so many times like today (erm, yesterday) where I will leave the site up all day while I'm catching up and just going through a page at a time when I have time and then people think I'm on and I'm not.


OMG!!! I just did spell check,,,guess what it suggested for Fockers!!


Pics of the dog please... and I know... the first time I did spell check after I had typed Fockers, I about fell out of my seat!

===============================

Not that my post isn't long enough but thought I would post a little about my weekend. My dad came up on Saturday and my husband and I got to go out to a movie and dinner. It was made really nice because the movie passes had been given to us by a cub scout's parents (DH is the cubmaster) and the dinner had been supplied by a gift card given to DH from his investment guy for a referral. We saw Hancock and I can't believe people kept that twist under wraps. It was really good, mostly because when you see a movie a lot of times you figure out what's going to happen or at least DH or myself will figure it out and whisper it to the other person. This time we both looked at each other and mouthed, "WTH?"

Then Sunday was girls day out. My sis brought my niece up and we went to the mall so DD got her ears pierced. Much to my husband's dismay. He acted like he would be fine with it after we talked about it last time since it seemed like all her friends were doing it but then he described it to her in a scary way and she changed her mind so he smiled to himself and dropped it. But I went with the time he acted like he would be fine with it and let her do it. :rotfl:

Here's some pics...

This is when they did it. She was nervous before and they told her they would count to five and she could change her mind. Well, they did it on the count of three and more than pain from the piercing I think she felt more betrayed by their lies. :rotfl:
1001332rt6.jpg


Moving on. This was just after. Does this look like a girl that regrets her decision?
1001333qi7.jpg


I don't know if you can see the make up in this picture but I let her get this little compact that had tons of eye shadow and blush that was on clearance at Libby Lu and she did herself up in the van. She looked like a clown, a happy clown.
1001336eg6.jpg


Then we did a little shopping at the Disney Store. I love the 50% off red tag prices. Plus we had stopped at Gymboree to use my Gymbucks and we had lunch at Stir Crazy. After all that we went to see Kit Kittredge and I absolutely loved it. I laughed so hard at Joan Cusack's character that I was crying. I can't wait to buy the DVD and watch it again.

I'm tired now. Well, I was tired two hours ago. Good night ladies.
 
Got a new dog today! hes a 3 year old Basset Hound, got him from a neighboring (I`m using spell check on that one!:lmao: ) shelter,,it took alot of calls and had to get the cats updated on their Rabies shots to be approved. but we finally brought him home today!! :banana:


Congrats on the new addition to your family! Bassetts are so adorable! I agree with Parla - pictures please.

'Ugh, we took my mil out to lunch once. Anytime we go with her "we" take her out since she never offers to pay for meals (not even her own). Anyway, the bill came to a little over $25.

-Parla

My MIL is absolutely great. :love: She's 75 and a go getter. She does not act or look her age. I'm very lucky. I've heard some MIL horror stories. Actually I married my DH because a liked her. (Don't tell him that.) ;)
 
Kat and/or Scott can tell you for sure, but that sounds like it should get her a nice place, even in NYC. Now, if she were moving to Indiana, she could get herself quite a place for that!!!! I'm imagining 10,000 sq feet, huge estate with a pool, barn with horses, etc.
I'll tell her to move there instead :rotfl2:


can I be here friend...LOL.. that will probably get her a really nice place, esp if she is willing to be 30 min away by train, that gives you nice options.
Sure you can Kat :rotfl2: So where is nice????

NOw it is a reason fo ryou to visit the East Coast. Not only could you see your sister, but you could see me, Mo, and Kat
Yep NYC meet here we come!

There it is Fockers in writing
:rolleyes1

Wow, Jo, that's kind of exciting and yet sad for you.
I know!!!!!!

Jo- How do you feel about loosing your sister to the US? Do you see her often now?
Sad, she only lives 45 minutes away, she also will be taking her boys, Ben who was born in February and Ollie who was 1 in March :sad1:

JO: I'm certain that your sis can get quite alot for 7500 a mo. Mo would know this better than me, but isn't Morristown NJ/Succasunna NJ close by train?
I'll find out, good luck with your eyes Mel :hug:

Lookie who lost her first tooth just now!!!!
Camryn did!
OMG so cute!

WHAT?!?! Where did this come from? I'm assuming with her family, right?
It's with the company she works for in London and yes DH and boys will go too!

Last year, before the bubble burst, similar units were selling for $300,000. Now they're down to a list price of $160,000.
Wow that's a big drop!

You've all seen a photo of my house, 4 beds on an estate (that just means lots of houses here nothing posh) well if we bought it now it would cost $700,000 :faint:

I need laughter...and enlightening conversation...and a spark...It's like talking to a freakin' pocket protector. The tats and piercings are a lie. He's not the least bit interesting.
Oh Jen :rotfl2: At least you found out early on!

All caught up!
Jo How come you are NOT a Brit??
It's that Mo Rosie, she never thinks I'm a Brit :rotfl2:

Jo---$7500.........a month or a year?? I don't think you could find ANYTHING here for that.........you could probably buy several neighboring counties!
A month, her company is paying :rotfl2:

I have some fantabulous pics of our trip to Knotts, the Anti-Disney. Will upload and post soon. But for now here's Evan on the Log Ride:
OMG T Evan's face is just priceless :lovestruc

Good decision :hug:

Got a new dog today! hes a 3 year old Basset Hound,
pictures please, he sounds cute!

Jo`s sister is moving to NYC?! oh no...Jo is going to miss her! more reason to come to the States and visit us!!!
When I come over I'll set up a meet!

That explains why I haven't seen many surveys from Pinecone Research Lately. I turned 35 last month.
I'm with pinecone too, they pay pretty good don't they!

She looked like a clown, a happy clown.
:rotfl:




Haven't told the girls about Emma moving yet, Jess was upset enough when they were thinking of moving 2 hours away let along thousands of miles! Emma also has this impression that I'll go and visit several times a year, she may be on a huge salary but we could probably afford to only go once every 2 years maybe once a year :sad2:
