Team Focker Watch Chat - the 10th anniversary thread!

[KatGarcia]

Part One of the mess.....

I just dumped everything from our entertainment center onto the computer desk and my dresser. Man we have a lot of crap!

And one of the baby, back and better than ever!

I didn't even get to the books yet.

Back to work for me!

 

[TEminnie]

Meanwhile back on the farm............
we come back from the movies (hold the Hannah Montana thoughts a minute)........drive up the driveway..........start counting goats.........1.....2............no more goats.................we drive on up.........lo and behold..........5 goats are in the barnyard eating Daran's new grass. ................they baa happily at me.........and then run to their old barn..........so I had to grab my boots and a bucket and lead them back to the authorized goat area................and 7 minutes later..........they are back.

BA and I tracked them down-----goat surveillance---
they crawl UNDER the neighbors fence into his cow field...........then walk north to a gap in the barnyard fence............then get back in their own barnyard.
And they are still turning their noses up at the new barn.

I'll try to get some official surveillance pictures of this operation..........


.............and Sugar says thanks for asking about her.....she is unable to join the other goats on their escapades as she is disabled.......she can walk but can't get down on her belly and "army crawl" under the fence. She still has a bad limp too. I don't think I'll let her have any kids. She and Tumnus (who is too fat to fit under the fence) are in the proper field right now!

 

[TEminnie]

Oh............Hannah Montana thoughts on hold...............
We really liked the movie! The little TN town reminded us of...well............here! Of course, it ended kinda badly with that giant truck hitting..........oops!..........well, never mind!

Nah---it's a good movie for Hannah fans and their moms!

Kat---you kitty is pretty!! I saw one just like him in a field on the way home just now---love the yellow!

By the time I tried to read and get caught up I'm to darn tired to reply.

Went into the office, Murph picked me up at 3:15, came home fell asleep and then got up and did a bit of work.

just dropping by to say hi Fockers, I'm going to veg in front of the tv

(oh and I was able to take some steps today with no crutches, but still can't get that darn shoe on)

TE - Sorry about the goat issues

Phone update...don't think drying it is going to work. I took the SIM card out and put it in JIm's old phone and that works. We have the insurance, but I don't want to put the $50 deductible right now. I have things I need to start getting for the trip. It's not a fancy schmancy phone, but all I need is a phone that can make and receive calls

Yes, but does Jim's old phone receive all of Mel's texts? This is a very important question... think slowly.

I can text

 

[Mrs. The King]

Thanks, CE. I'll pass it on. And, no, we're not going to WDW. We're heading to Tampa to go to Busch Gardens and harass V and Leo for a few days




Okay, I guess I'm glad they are other places. I thought maybe it was just here. What I don't understand is that you DO something in memory of... Did they buy the car in memory of? Do they drive in memory of? I completely agree with what you said about people grieving in their own personal way, I just always thought that "In Memory of" required a verb.

I always think that they cut me off in memory of their loved one.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I can text

We're you teasing Mel with me on FB about all the texting she does?
Maybe I'm too old to know who I'm talking to anymore. Sorry, Janet. I thought I was being funny.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

My feelings are hurt. My BFF's hubby unfriended me on FB. I just noticed a minute ago and chatted my friend to ask why.
She said he took a joke I said to be a betrayal.

I'm so shocked. Really. I hung out with his wife today and no one said anything. I feel like they all knew and I feel completely stupid now. I'm a little pissed about it all too, because they cross the line all the time with their joking. I didn't even say anything really offensive.
It was when he posted something really off the wall and Jodi asked if he was drunk. I said he might be because he does bottle his own wine. I didn't think was a big deal.

 

[Muffinygood]

Janet: Bob has a phone you can have. Just let me know and I'll drop it in the mail in the am.

TE: The goats ARMY crawl? OMG! Too dang funny! And, I want to know what you wear to do goat surveillance.

Kat: We have alot of stuff too. Doesn't it feel GREAT to get it all organized though!? Cute kitty!!!!

Dawn: Calling you in a min.....

MEL

I don't think that was me, but it couls have been. I'm older than you so my mind is even more gone

No advice Dawn, just a hug for you

Thanks Mel I can use Jim's old one!

I think we need video of the goat crawl

I dont' know either, Janet. I would go check, but I'm boycotting FB right now since my friend's on. I'm too mad to talk to her.

I'm just shocked. He posts stuff about his wine-making every once in a while... I feel like it's so uncomfortable now. I just want to unfriend everyone in the family and move. Their DD is B's BFF, though.

Whatever...

Mel- I'm going to get C from dance, so call me on my cell, okay?

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

Kat - You may have a mess but at least its an organized mess.

TE - Sorry about the goat troubles and glad Sugar is able to walk now.

Hi Mo! Glad you were able to get into work.

Janet - Glad you were able to get the old phone to work.

Dawn -

************************************************

It's almost bedtime, it's almost bedtime, it's almost bedtime. Well, for Linds at least. I made her get off the computer and she acted like I was the worst mother in the world and saying that she had had a horrible day. Drama Queen!

DR took a nap this afternoon so he gets to stay up just a little longer but will be getting some allergy meds, along with me. You'd think with all thie rain we had it wouldn't be so bad but UGH!

Night everyone!

 

[Muffinygood]

So, here's the photo I snapped with my phone the day they put them on!

and here's a picture from today. NO MORE BRACES! (that star is to cover the kid in the background, who ever he is!)

Yay!!!!

Mel

Well got the car washed!! Got cards forJudy's Birthday tomorrow ! I asked her if she wanted to go to Chillis or Bob Evans !! We have a new Chilis that just opened here and I or one woud lik to try it !!Anyone have any thoughts on it ???? She said either was fine !!

I like Chili's - kind of a typical chain, but we always have a good meal...

Anyways i'm eating some lunch and try and tackle this mess!

Good luck!

Not much from me, woke myself up a little while ago to see if I can get some stuff done. Right now playing Bejeweled, it's so addicting!

I know, and I saw you kicked my butt!

You can thank us for lots of stuff, but not that. It's just what we do.

That's the best answer I've seen yet. Love ya, hon.

Wanna see pics?

Of course!

BA and I tracked them down-----goat surveillance---
they crawl UNDER the neighbors fence into his cow field...........then walk north to a gap in the barnyard fence............then get back in their own barnyard.
And they are still turning their noses up at the new barn.

I'll try to get some official surveillance pictures of this operation..........

Of course, it ended kinda badly with that giant truck hitting..........oops!..........well, never mind

I hope it all gets better soon, love.

Oh, for god's sake, Dawn. I'm sorry. His post WAS bizarre. This is nuts.

 

[CelticBelle]

And one of the baby, back and better than ever!

Your kitty looks just like mine! His name is Apollo since hes yellow like the sun. And his brother is Achilles because he has a spot on his heel. I like themed names

she can walk but can't get down on her belly and "army crawl" under the fence. She still has a bad limp too. I don't think I'll let her have any kids. She and Tumnus (who is too fat to fit under the fence) are in the proper field right now!

I love the name Tumnus! so how big is the gap theyre crawling under? My mind boggled when I saw my grandmas pregnant appaloosa roll/crawl under the fence. It couldnt have been more than a 2ft tall gap.

(oh and I was able to take some steps today with no crutches, but still can't get that darn shoe on)

Glad to hear that your foot is recovering well.

It seems like people are just overreacting. I hate drama.

Yay!!!!

Mel

Hes very cute! I bet hell get all the girls.

He's gorgeous, Mel! (But don't tell him I said so. He'd be embarrassed.)
