The Conservative Thread: Back to Basics. Pass the Lasagna and Have a Flower!!

[honugirl]

OK, I really am a dork, I meant to say Kool-Aid Free is the way to be!

Holy crap my brain is out to lunch today. Guess you really do need more than four hours of sleep to get anything done, eh?

I'm living on three here! (and strangely I added the missing word when I read it!) I just got another burst of energy about an hour ago. I have four teen boys in the family room below me blowing stuff up on xbox360. I need to remain vigilant!

I like:
"We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once." Have a blessed Thanksgiving (switch after Thursday to Merry CHRISTmas)

I like! Although in terms of the add ons... if we do that, I'd also like to see us do a Happy Hannukah tag added on when that holiday approaches. I think that's only right since we conservatives tend to see ourselves as allies of Israel and our Jewish brothers and sisters. That, and there are many conservatives out there who are Jewish.

Oh, I so know how you are feeling. The bad thing is that the lack of sleep is a common occurrence, so I'm getting used to it, but it's still not fun. If you have four teen hockey players downstairs, I feel for you! Holy cow, those guys can rip up a house in no time!

 

[#1hockeymom]

we can even add in Ramadan.. just no happychrismakawanzaramhanakah!

bad.. all bad. MUST be spelled out properly!

 

[honugirl]

Ummm, hello, we forgot Festivus! The festival for the rest of us.

"Counting Our Blessings....Happy Thanksgiving!!!"

Two hockey players, two football/basketball players.

They eat a lot There are two loaves of sourdough bread missing and the entire package of ham GONE! I bought it at Sam's Club right after practice today! I have no idea what the sourdough bread tastes like. Ham? What ham. It was that giant container of ham! The 2 pounds of sliced provelone was put in a zip lock bag, mean 1 POUND that was left, so I'm grateful for that small favor.

They'll be feeding again soon. I am scared. I'm glad I didn't buy any pop, but I think the OJ and milk will be hit next. (Yes, I was smart and made up a huge jug of koolaid.. Yep.. said the word!)

"They'll be feeding again soon." That makes me think of a lion or otherwise toothy and hungry animal. Athletes amaze me in terms of how much food, usually junk, they can scarf down in a matter of minutes. It's like human vacuum cleaners.

Who wants to start the new thread? Might as well do it now since we are on page 250.

You're brave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear, where do those guys pack all that food? It's like they have hollow legs. They only ate two loaves? And only one package of ham? Only one pound of provolone? Amazing! Too bad Jesus wasn't around to perform a miracle!

Oh no, not the Kool-Aid!!!!!!!!!!!!

You won't need to clean the kitchen either because there won't be anything left! They'll Hoover it all down.

What has the room decided for a title?

I have no idea where they put it. I do know they work it right back off again, between feeding and slothing.

I'm for some variation of: "'We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.' Have a blessed Thanksgiving!" It'll have to be shortened in order to fit.

I think that best describes our task in the weeks and months ahead. It's also very positive and applies to our daily lives as well.

I'm inspired by your sig pic. Something like "Conservative thread.....doing it old school".

You guys are falling down on the job! I was gone alllllll day long and there's no new thread yet, let alone ten pages on it? Yeesh.

OT question: Anybody know anything about skateboards? For the life of me I can't figure the difference between the plain one Target sells for $10 and the one with Tony Hawk's name on it for $50.

There is a big big difference between a $10 skateboard and a $50 (or $100...) skateboard. Suspension, grip, etc. But if it is his first one I'd go for the $10 one. If he spends a lot of time on it and looks like it will be a new love, then buy a better one next year. My ex bought a pretty good one for my daughter because a bunch of her friends were skate rats and she really wanted one. She rode it half a dozen times and it rusted and warped in the rain in the back yard. Not cool...

My FIL served in Iraq. He came back with pictures of so many Iraqis giving soldiers hugs, kisses, you name it. We've never believed the "they don't want us there" crap the libs spew. The Iraqis say differently. They only ones who don't want us there are terrorists.

The doctor who did the waaaaay involved physical for my husband before he could go to Iraq was an Iraqi. When he found out why he was doing it, he praised and thanked my husband repeatedly for what he was doing. And he's just a civilian going over there as support help.

No. Dr Pepper is okay. It's Dr. Thunder that he/she is probably hepped up on.
Or Pepsi.

Nope. It's Red Bull, or some other energy drink. About five of them, and six snickers bars. Enough of a sugar and caffeine rush to blow a blood vessel.

I'd like to wear the style of clothing and hair they wore from the 30's, 40's, and 50's. I'm afraid I'd be stared at, though.

I was thinking the same thing when I was reading the earlier comments. I agree with Blestmom about the progress we've made in terms of our collective conscience and consciousness (although yeah, there is the opposite end of the scale on Springer and eight million reality shows), but I'd sure like to keep those things and go back to the hard working, go getting, anything it takes to get the job done attitude, the awesome music, and the beautiful classic hair and clothing styles that you didn't have to be a size 2 to look great in!

I'm not posting the Buckeye recipe (those peanut butter things are Buckeyes...which is why she posted the picture on the first place ) until we have a new thread, or it is going to get left behind.

I don't know how you can condense it without distorting it's meaning. You can always put it in the first post. Go back and look at the first one of the thread. You can do it like that.

Coolidge won't fit with thanksgiving..trying it out now..

Conservative thread....Kicking it old school works for me!

VOTE QUICK so I can see if it fits!

Hi everyone! I like all the titles but I think my favorite is I like:
"We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once." Have a blessed Thanksgiving (switch after Thursday to Merry CHRISTmas).

I have a quiet house! Our party went well last night as did the play all weekend. Tonight the cast is at another families house, actually DS just called to say he is on the way home (and how do I get there from here!) Like I am supposed to know where he is? Anyway I think he is on the right road! the kids loved the candy buffet. Most took a goodie bag with them and they all thought it was fun. So a good idea for "sweet 16" parties.

 

[Michelle67]

I'm easy as long as we have a home, but I really like "We can't do everything at once, but we can do something at once." I'm willing to live without the seasons greetings. We can put it in the first post if we want, and we'll surely be putting it in on the day.

*edited to add; I still think we need the batsignal in the title, though, to remind Loco (and the rest of us of course) to step away from the keyboard. LOL
