[rachel3]

Forgot what else I read, and I need to leave early today as it's get a needle stuck in my good foot day My surgery is now 3 weeks away on my bad foot and I have my pre op physical tomorrow. I have to have the full work up as I am over 40

good luck.

Hi guys!
I`m just getting out the door to go shopping at the mall with Elizabeth.
she seems to be doing okay. a little overmedicated I think.
she`ll be here until Sunday.
have a great day everyone!

hugs to V! for being stressed at work.
hugs to Dawn for being stressed about finding a house. something great will happen!

Rachel. FLY!!!

hi carrie. hope everything goes well with your visit.

Trying to get Scott last minute flights to Seattle. He is leaving Sunday and will be back Tuesday. Cheapest thing , NOT BOOKED...
BWI YUP BALTIMORE We are not near ANYTHING to get decent rates we have to drive a MINIMUM 2 and maybe 4 hours... BWI is around 5 hours away... but over 100.00 cheaper.
Now I am working on Hotel and Car...

Came across a NEW Traveling search aide engine called AWAY.Com. You can tell it WHICH sites ( Hotwire, Priceline, Orbitz... etc) to check and it pulls them all up for you at one shot so you can compare quicker.

Oh Well just checking in back to searching

thanks, i'll have to check this site.

Afternoon all. Spent all this time doing an online test of our new statewide computer system. I hate computer classes/tests. They are PITA!

agreed!

UGH! I always hated doing those things too! We had to take so many just to be able to keep our jobs. It was never fun.

 

[rachel3]

Out of PIT? That's a really good price!
Where are you again in WV? Hunington or the Charelston area? Or was it near Morgantown? I so forget. LOL I'm close to Wheeling so Pittsburgh's an hour away for us. We have Columbus thats 2 hours but rarely ever go that way.

yep out of pit. we're just south of mo-town in fairmont. i don't know what to do. we're gonig to take some time to think about it. i don't want to rush into anything. there are pros to driving and flying.

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

Good Afternoon Fockers!

I'm having one of those weeks where I have really nothing planned to do but still seem busy at all times and can't catch a break.

Luckily, DR decided to tak a nap on the couch so I have a little time before the other one gets home. I'm supposed to walk to pick her up but since he fell asleep I'm going to call my brother to have him pick Linds up. I really don't feel like waking a sleeping child.

DR lost one of my contacts yetsterday. I walked into the bathroom and he had a hold of my contact case. He had this little devlish grin on his face as well and I knew this couldn't be a good thing. I put my right one in, go to open the left side and nothing is there. So I tore our computer room apart yesterday afternoon trying to find my prescription. Found it and orderd some new ones. YAY!

Plus, the ex is pissing me off with Lindsey and the psychologist. He feels she doesn't need to go at all and that there is no point to it. Oh well...I think he's an idiot to begin with and just told him to contact the psych if he doesn't like it and let her explain things to him. (Or maybe I will have her call him...that probably will be the best thing).

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Oh OK. So, your not that far from PIT. For some reason I thought you were further south. Do you work there in Fairmont or travel up to the hospitals in Morgantown?

I don't blame ya for thinking. I won't be planning a trip until next year but that is my thought as well. Should we fly just to get there sooner or should we drive to save some money. My kids are used to long car trips and I like the driving part of it.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Max is cleared for take off! The vet said ease him into it for about 2 weeks. Take him on a few leash walks and don't let him run right away. I think he knows he is in the clear but he is still taking it easy by keeping close to me.

Awwww lookie how cute!! So glad he's feeling better.

So, I haven't seen a house on the market that's so great I would sacrfice where I want to live. It's frustrating. I did call a realtor yesterday, so maybe she can figure it out for me. Is it too early to start drinking?

Never, it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Good luck with the house hunting. Having a deadline doesn't help the stress, this I know too well.

I've been sitting here on the verge of tears since 8:10am... it's bad when the first ten minutes of work leave you wishing you were anywhere else, right?

Oh V...

I'm not a mommy but know many, I think the note idea is great as well as the advice from the other mom's on here. Do you guys have a Chuck E Cheese nearby, maybe a playdate there if the parents ok it.

Hysterical story

Mr Diz was working last night on the laptop. He sent an email to everyone under him on this project he's on, it also went out to all the managers and the VP.

It said:
Thank you for the hard work on this week you all have given me.

EXCEPT - he left out the word WORK

A girl replied back "Anything for you."

He said he is getting a lot of replies this morning.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Not much going on here. I'm just paying some bills and I have to work tonight since I had Sunday off. It's gonna be a long weekend.

 

[DisneyJo]

and i just love the word shattered!! i'm going to steal it from ya!

Feel free

I have one more niece that I owe a trip to (other than my Focker nieces )

I'm glad you haven't forgotten us, non-brit ones are first on the list, right?

DR lost one of my contacts yetsterday. I walked into the bathroom and he had a hold of my contact case. He had this little devlish grin on his face as well and I knew this couldn't be a good thing.

Uh oh but

I'm off to pick up the girls from choir and then I'm not turning this laptop back on, I'm so tired and can hardly keep my eyes open, I think it's the combination of lots of fresh air, looking at a screen and hayfever Anyway, see you tomorrow

 

[englishrose47]

Phew I caught up!! I am home for couple hours before going back to take consumers to a meeting in Buffalo !!Good part is I get super paid for!!!!
On the economy and it's affect on Industry DD jut heard they are laying off 6 and cutting every ones salary 10% and hours from 40 to 36!!! But at least she still has a job !!!don't know if this will affeect our Septmeber trip yet though!!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Okay- I've been working hard to find what I want. I think this is the route we'll go... We'd build and move when it's ready in June. Then I can slow down, enjoy my trip and get things in order when I get back. Kirt may have to commute a bit before we're there, but that may just have to be the way it is.

Here's the house want to build. It's not the right neighborhood, because I don't want Mel showing up at my house with her sleeping bag a cold germs.
Actually, this one is the one with a virtual tour of the model. I'm going to catch up now.

House
I want to upgrade it to a a tub/shower in the masterbath, a study downstairs, and add the fireplace.

It looks great, Dawn! We've built both of our houses as well. I totally understand your thing about older homes. You just don't know what they've been through. Although I can say that we've had a few issues with this one as well...

 

[HomeschoolMama]

MizDiz- That's hysterical! I needed that laugh!

JV- Did you get my check? Kirt sent it last week, I think.

Kristel- When I watched the video, Riley was sleeping under my desk. He woke up running and barking in response to your puppy!

Jodi- I hope it doesn't surprise me like yesterday's house did!

Thanks for the support, ladies. I can always count on you!

 

[KatGarcia]

Kat wants Wii codes so you can all hook up. She jerked some beef. (OK that didn't come out right) She has been tired. They shopped for KC.

Still haven't talked to DH about the girls weekend thing... I'm waiting for him to get in a good mood. So far, we've got Carrie and JenV interested.... Anyone else??

ME ME!!!! I really wanna come, haven't cleared it with DH yet but it's far enough in advance that it could work out!

Should someone start a thread for the girls weekend? It sounds like a lot of us are definitely going and this would give us a way to plan and chat.

Good idea! Anyone else interested in that?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Hello all! Good day so far! We went this morning at looked at the apartment......................... AND LOVED IT!!!!! It's so spacious and nice. it's all new stuff. A full size fridge and stove, counter space in the kitchen. It's a kitchen and living room combo but it's twice the size of what we have now. Windows in every room, central air, a frikkin washer and dryer! The bedroom is small but our bed would fit and thats all that matters to us. It really would be great for us. So we told the guy we are interested. He has someone else coming to look at it sat so after that we will know. We plan to call sat afternoon so they know we are serious. We could potentially be moved in there by MArch 15th!

We are trying not to get too excited if it doesn't work out, but really I hope it does. Send good wishes our way!!!!

OK I got Animal Crossing! I am gonna break it in after a shower.... Did anyone find out why their wii code was a different # of digits???

Ok I rambled enough.

Janet, I texted you today but forgot to sign my name. I only later realized you may not have my number in your phone! We had a nice time at the game but the Braves lost.

Dawn, cool house.

Kat, why can't you just say you want the apt and be done with it?

Mo,

 

[askelton]

The Braves were loosing 2-7 when we left and came back to win 8-7.

I don't really follow baseball at all but that sounds like it would have been a good game to see!
