Man I wish I could keep up with this game better. That last one was really hard! Or else I'm just challenged
I'm sad to hear that you didn't get the job. In my opinion, if i was meant to be, it will be. Perhaps that's the way things were supposed to go so you can get everything done for that giant dinner party. Take it easy
Don't be too sad I didn't get the job- I'm not. Like someone else said, it's our first Christmas back, and we should make the most of it! I'm excited for my giaint dinner/dessert party- in fact, I'll be going down to Salem to start prelim. cleaning this weekend. Dad's having a hard time keeping up with that.
Q should be up VERY soon!
Hmmm, Liesa had Tate getting into all kinds of situations.......maybe I can do the same with a spoon. I guess I will have a contest to come up with an appropriate name for my travel companion over on my PTR.......
Points for the winning entry!
You have NO idea how much Tate got into trouble- Naughty, naughty Tater Boy/Girl.
LOVE IT!
I am glad your FIL is Okay but as a CPR instructor something about that sentence just made my giggle a bit. Sorry. Just be glad they sedated him before they shocked him. If he has a hairy chest he may either be shaved or have burn marks.
Well, if he has HALF the amount of hair on his chest, as Marv and Glenn think I have on my feet, then he's in serious doo-doo. I happened to be in his room with him when he was ripping off the lead tapes, and I totally thought he was gonna go through the roof!! YOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for burn marks... I'm just not ready to take a peeky at an 80 year old's hairy chest.
Sorry to hear about the job.
Don't be. Life is good.
The EPCOT tried to throw me off but then I saw not. I saw Park and the PJ's got me thinking about Peter Pan. I did see the party and while thinking of Fantasyland attractions I went over to MHTP and I did have a picture of the sign of my own.
Since it was closed the last trip, the sign was not visible and fresh in my memory.
Of course, at first, I noticed no clues and was a bit overwhelmed. Then I thought " she should give us a clue, park, resturant, ride what am I looking for" Duh of course you gave us a clue.
So then it came down again to someone JUST recently having taken a picture of the sign.
mom2sonstt (Tanya) got the very first point that way.
And yeah, duh.
That is a bit
. Self defibrillation is not recommended.
That's exactly what I did when he told us!!
I think your whole trip was like this, meeting new people and forging some wonderful friendships. 
It was! I can't wait to get to the DC Meet soon!
I'm with you here Magdalene, I like a light wine. I like mine to be light and crisp. There are a couple of wines from Portugal that I really love. I think of this type of wine to be more a summer wine, and I love a good light Merlot for the winter. I'm not much for heavier wines, although I probably won't turn a glass down if it were offered. [/QUOTE]
Me too!! Light, and sweetish. But not too.
As for turning one down. Never. I was in Salem, as you know, and went over to visit my new neighbor, Mary agian. Being the wine expert she is (she teaches at a Community College here) offered me a tasting of 3 sparkling wines- one from Italy, one from Spain and one from just down the street from our neighborhood. YUM!
Glad to hear your FIL is doing better Liesa, it doesn't sound like this is a fun way to start one's day. I have to agree with Pat, doing one's own self de-fibing is not a good thing. Althooooough, I do hear that if your trying to stay alive while waiting for someone else to get there, coughing a hard cough over and over can actually pump the heart. Much like a sneeze, but sneezing at will miiiight be a little tricky. Ha!
NO, and to be honest, this may be the start of a decline.
I really think he needs a pacemaker- we talked to him this morning, and he is telling us it has been doign this a while.
Sounds like y'all had a scary day with your father in law. I'm glad to hear the ticker is back to ticking right. My step father had to have his heart shocked before too.
It's probably better not to be working during the holidays. It's your holiday back in the states and now you'll be able to enjoy it more with less stress. I always say I would rather paid time off during the holidays than a bonus. Time with family is important.
It is rather shocking to hear about shocking. But I guess it's a pretty common procedure.
Glad it all turned out well at the end of the day.
You are so right. I don't HAVE to work, and this Christmas, being our first one back, is so important! THanks for the encouragement, Vanessa!! Good to be reminded about what's really important!
Oh goodness! I'm caught up on the posts but not the chatter and I miss the chatter! And everyone.
I'm so glad your FIL is ok but sad that the kids had to go through tooth yanking. On the job, things happen for a reason and I'd agree with everyone that it might be for the best. Most shops around here are open sunday (small ones closed mon) so that part doesn't surprise me at all.
Good luck to the kiddos on their belt testing tomorrow!
Chatter is fun, but so hard to keep up with all the time!
Their teeth are healing up nicely, but are still opting for the softer foods I offer. Another few days should do the trick!
I can totally see why a toy store would be open EVERY before Christmas ! BIG business time for them. It's just odd that I said I COULD work Sundays, just not a full day.
THey are sooooooooooooo nervous about their belt tests! I"m sure they will do fine, and pass with no problems, but it's all they can think about right now. Was Evan always this nervous?? (It IS Evan, right?)
My parents actually were very strict about table manners when Katharina and I grew up and elbows were one thing they were really strict about!! Did you know that there is quite a differenc in table manners between the US and Euope - especially on how to use the fork, there is even 
New machine... no problems!
