Team Focker Watch Chat Part 5.5: The Less-Cursed Version

[HomeschoolMama]

NICE--me like
I may be heading to Target this weekend to find one with my name on it. Only thing is I want it small enough to keep in a cabinet but not too small that it doesnt fit much

This one is about the same size as all the others... I put it in the back corner by the fridge where you can't see it unless you're standing there. Good luck!

We have one that sits on the cabinet. We use it daily, so I leave it there and it is too big to move. I found one with brushed stainless, so it at least kind of blends in.

You will love it! They are great for sticking things to cook and not heating up the whole oven. I even keep mine on low when I am making pancakes or waffles and keep them warm, as I cook more.

Good ideas! I have no idea how to use it since I've never had one!

I see I am Friday is that this Friday or next ? Anyway I will start
My given name is Rosalie, Mum was going to name me Caroline or Carolyn but there were so many others being given that name, she toyed with naming me after my Dad.s Mum and her aunt and combining them into Evanna but was afraid I would be called Fanny which has a not so nice meaning in England , ask Jo~!! So I was named Rosalie !!
The most daring thing I did or perhaps stupid is a better choice is riding on someones lap in the front seat of a sportscar as we did 100 and yelling faster!!Incidently that was hitch hiking, also one time hitched a ride in an ambulance
More to follow........

It's next Friday. The 29th.
Does that work for you all or should we start doubling up so we can get it done before everyone's back?

Rosie & Lurker Fockers... Lets hear your answers to my questions of the day! Come one, come all! We gotta get to know each other so well, we'll make the "others" jealous when they return from frolicing in the mother land!

You're cracking me up!



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We're home from buying the TV and a new tv stand. I'll have to take a picture for you all. I'll hurry and take a before in a second.

My friend called and wants to go to a movie tonight, instead of tomorrow, so as soon as K gets home with the t.v. stand I'll be on my way to see The House Bunny!

It looks so stinkin' funny! "I want the Mahi Mahi, but I'm not very hungry. Can I just get the one Mahi?"

So, margaritas (the mexican food place is next door in the shopping center to the movies- bonus drink!) and queso, here I come!!!
Good night, girls.

 

[princessjv]

Oohhh! Tell us how it is. It really does look funny.

Can't wait to see the new TV. You can have movie night on your new TV soon!

I'm still concerned about V. No one has heard from her. I wonder if she is without power?



I will check in later, I have to go to my scrapbooking evening. But first I need to get my act together and get all of my stuff in one spot!

 

[princessjv]

Just heard from T! She says the rain is not bad at all and she had cocktails with V & LL last night. Apparently Flat Jen drank too much and is hung over.


Sounds like they are having a great time.

I didn't think V was heading there for a few days...which is why I have been so darn concerned! Just another ditzy Jen moment, I guess.

Rosie & Lurker Fockers... Lets hear your answers to my questions of the day! Come one, come all! We gotta get to know each other so well, we'll make the "others" jealous when they return from frolicing in the mother land!

Okay here goes the math question 7. My math is not good but I added 15 & 12 and subtracted 13 and divided by 2 = 7
I drive an Impala I like it but I liked my Intrepid better!!BUT i do like the the gauge that lets you know low fuel and oil change and windshield washer fluid.I,ve forgotten the other question so will go back and check!!

 

[englishrose47]

My favorite drink is coffee !!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Hi Did I get forgotten ?I am here too!

Don't feel bad. They forgot me too.

Deb - Sorry about your Gran. I like the idea of her dancing with your Grandpa!

Rosie & Lurker Fockers... Lets hear your answers to my questions of the day! Come one, come all! We gotta get to know each other so well, we'll make the "others" jealous when they return from frolicing in the mother land!

I drive a paid off, 2005 Kia Sportage EX. So far, so good. Heated leather, moon roof, multi CD player. It's not quite as comfy as the Suburban was, except on the wallet when I'm at the gas pump.

I love diet Coke with Splenda and Southern Comfort alone or with anything.

And 2.

I like the concept though. Glad to read that you like Margaritas!!! look at the TICKERS!! Using V`s Fuzzy Disney Math. we will be there in one month!!!

 

[carrieannie]

Dawn, Jodi, Jen!!! can someone PLEASE!!!! Write out the answer to the word problem!! I`ve been working all night, ALONE on a Friday nite (only cashier, not alone in the store) and am sick of dealing with the DRUNKEN public!!!! and counting thier yukky money!! have to do it Sat nite and Sunday all day!! I still enjoy the job though!! and its spending $ for IP DIP! I plan to take no prisoners shopping!
But I`m stuck on the MATH problem!!!!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I'm too tired to catch up. But, Carrie, I got the same as Rosie for the same reason.

15 Math club members + 13 chess club members = 27
27 kids - 13 students who belong to only one group =14
14 divided by 2 (b/c they belong to both groups) = 7 kids who each belong to both groups.

I hope that's right and that I didn't confuse you.

I'm sleepy. I'll see you all in the morning when I'll post for the Focker of the day and catch up. Good night.

 

[princessjv]

Hi girls! Sorry I couldn't visit at the end of the Jen Day! It was very appreciated and a bunch of FUN! I have been scrapbooking tonight... DISNEY was the subject! I only got 4 pages done...cause I am putzy!

The Answer to Jen's Word Problem of the Day was...




7​

As Dawn pointed out, here is why:
Let n stand for the number of students who belong to both clubs. The 15 members of the math club can be broken down into two groups: those who are in both clubs (there are n students in this category) and those who are in the math club only (there are 15 – nstudents in this category).

The 12 members of the chess club can also be broken down into two groups: n students who are in both clubs and 12 – n students who are in the chess club only.

Since a total of 13 students belong to only one of the two clubs, you know that (15 – n) + (12 – n) = 13. Solving this equation gives n = 7, so 7 students belong to both clubs.



Thanks for playing along with me!


I discovered that we all have a total range in tastes of vehicles. Some are most of us are very practical for what our life styles are.

Whoops... I missed Jens Questions from yesterday...

So .. at the moment I drive a Toyota Sienna LE it will change in December.. Like it.. actually love it. It is Maroon.. If it not Maroon I will not drive it. All of my cars have been Maroon. From the time I was a small kid I wanted a van. I thought they were neat. However I DID LOVE my 1987 Plymouth Colt E sedan.. 5 speed. Got it new a week after I got married and drove it till February 1998.. When I got a Caravan. ( Bad year for those)

Favorite Drink is Iced Tea.. prefer "Sweetened" but the calories Also Love MILK( I prefer that straight from the Farm.. nothing like it on the planet) and on the whole Coke/Pepsi Thing... Coke.

No Alcoholic Drinks for me... but it would have to be something "Fruity" with at least 1/2 the usual amount of alcohol.

I think I will use my "COPY" Option and say 7 for Jen's Math Question. Am I right ??

O.K.Time for the "WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR BREAKFAST Day"

Scott wants an Omelet
Joshua wants "Potato Skins" (thankfully I made Baked Potato's yesterday and had extra just for this occasion.
Sara has not decided yet...
I want Coffee...maybe a Blueberry Muffin... since "Dunkin Donuts" are across town and Scott did not get me any . I've Krispy Kreme almost close enough to smell them .


I also saw Carrie was LONELY and was boosting her post count

Morning, Katt.

I let the girls stay up to watch the new Cheetah Girls movie last night, so they went to bed about 2 hours late. Did they sleep in this morning???? Of course not. So, I'm sure I'll be dealing with grumpy grouchy girls this afternoon. I already warned them that if they're grumpy, we won't be allowing them to stay up late anymore.

Breakfast..... those Krispy Kreme sound good to me! But, I've got just about nothing in the house. I can have some cereal, some toast or maybe some frozen waffles. That's about it. And coffee, of course. We're headed to the grocery this morning.

Well, I had to take our dog back to the vet on Wednesday for some bloodwork. His liver enzyme levels have been really high for the past six months or so. The vet called yesterday afternoon with the results. One of the levels came down (that's good), but it's still more than double what it should be. The other one went up from what it was in May and is now almost four times normal. I've been surfing the web, trying to find out what this could mean and I don't really like what I've been reading. The vet said that it could be something simple and we're now keeping track of his water intake. I guess if he's drinking way too much then it could be a simple inbalance of some kind and fixed with medication. So, let's hope that's what it is!

Not sure what we're doing today. The girls want to go to the pool, but I'll have to see how they're behaving. I need to get the beds washed and go to the grocery first.
