what thread?

Why oh why did I have to read your thread, Mkrop?

I know that pie lady gets on my nerves, but I had to look anyway.

It's like a car wreck.. You just can't look away.....


Does anyone feel sorry for me? I am typing without the use of one of my fingers (the middle one on my left hand) because last night I was opening a jar of sundried tomatoes and the glass just under the lid was broken. I slid my finger right over that darn thing and have a huge gash. It isn't bad enough for stitches but it hurts and it's causing me troubles with typing.

It was a good test, though. Dh came running upstairs to see what happened.

I have to admit something. My house is clean, my dishes are done, the laundry is done and we have something planned for dinner tonight. The kids will be taken to Karate, and homework will be done. We will all get to sleep at 8PM.

Before you run me out of town, please note that it is DH, who is keeping things under control at our home, not me. Work has been slow for him, lately, and he has been bored silly, so I have been assigning housework and cooking to him. Except for the fact that he is earning little to nothing, I have been in a state of bliss.

Can I stay?

I have been sitting on my hands so as not to join back in on that one. That poster and I got into it on another thread (mother leaving her child in the car) yesterday, and in order for me to be able to walk away, I had to "agree to disagree."

I would say no from the beginning of your post, but you redeemed yourself in your last sentence....


Grab a chair. As long as you don't mind the smell of dead fish.

Hey, you've followed the one and only TRUE rule to being a Loser. We call her the Pie Lady.

It all started on the drive-thru thread.....Ah yes, those were the days.

She basically called every person that used the drive thru for any reason (banking/fast food/coffee) lazy. And that we're eating away the environment by wasting gas and emitting all those toxins in the air while our cars sit there idling.

Well, obviously, we're a bunch of Losers, we use the drive thru as much as possible, so it was Game On at that point.

 

[fltwinmom]

Nevermind....

DH is driving thru BK at this very moment. In his BIG suv. Should I call him and tell him to park it and walk in?


BTW - loved your response.

yep yep I got it. Thanks.

Shay has a house hubby too so that is allowed.

We all have our winner moments here, some here are pretty good cooks (I am not) etc. The goal is to like the end result but to not really enjoy getting to the end result of clean.

So if you can get someone else to do the dirty work all the more power to you

Dang I dropped fried rice in my keyboard and I cant get it out at the moment

Dang I dropped fried rice in my keyboard and I cant get it out at the moment

Speaking of keyboard issues....

I have a wireless keyboard, and the Low Battery thing has been flashing at me since sometime yesterday.

I just know that Pie Lady is going to say something snarky, and in the midst of typing out a scathing, insulting reply to her, my keyboard will die and I will scream NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

It will take me 20 minutes to steal batteries from remotes/toys/games and reconnect my keyboard, and by then, someone else will have posted a snarky, insulting reply and the thread will be locked, to which I will never be able to tell Pie Lady all the things I'm feeling at that moment, leaving me spiralling into a downward depression, from which I will never recover.

BTW, she is over on the "John McCain isn't a Natural Born Citizen, so hows he running for POTUS?" thread, and I really wanna tell her to keep her non-American mouth out of it.

I just keep saying over and over again...Points....don't need points....

 

[RVGal]

You guys are silly.

I was thinking maybe some cute decorated cupcakes or something. Nothing involving dissolving rainbows, though.

Hey, I'm starting to think those cupcakes were artistic... in a Dali sorta way.

I'm having beer and skittles.

Oh. My. God. No you aren't. I can't stand beer and the thought of that is just...

Did you actually mix the beer and skittles? Like make a gross yeast & candy soup?

Grab a chair. As long as you don't mind the smell of dead fish.

Did we kill another fish? Dang.

 

[fltwinmom]

Did we kill another fish? Dang.

Nope. We are still hoping he "wakes up" from his really long nap...

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

Oh my. I've had an interesting 20 minutes.

My satellite internet starts acting up, and I can't do anything online.

So I figure, I'll go look for some batteries while I'm waiting for the satellite to straighten itself out, so I can make sure my keyboard doesn't die at some inoppurtune moment.

I go into the pantry, and of course the batteries aren't where they're supposed to be. So I start rummaging around, find an empty Cheerio's box, hand it to my DS3, and tell him to throw it away.

I spy a loose battery on the pantry floor!! Cool, I'm wondering what the chances are that I can find 3 more runaway batteries.

I start moving stuff around, empty bags that we save for who knows what reason, 40 rolls of toilet paper, ooooooooooooh, looky, runaway battery number 2!!

I find a bag of old Halloween candy (ACK!) somewhere in the back, and HEY! ANOTHER BATTERY!

And then I swear, something hissed at me. Well, I wasn't about to waste any time sharing a small, cramped space with some freaky snake, so I hauled it out of there, grabbing my survival kit before slamming the pantry door shut.

I spent the next three minutes, doing the heeby jeeby dance. You know the kind, where your body involuntarily jumps and jiggles, trying to get the ew-yucky-vibes off?

I look back at the pantry, and decide that the snake can stay there until DH gets home because no way am I trying to pit myself against that nasty hissing creature.

I take my survival kit, and steal the batteries out of there, so now I have 5!! And yes, I know, what am I thinking, what if I need those batteries, but really, it's a survival kit for the jet-ski, with a flashlight/batteries/waterproof matches/some thermal poncho thing to keep you dry and warm, etc.

It's for the jet-ski's, and it's in my pantry. Not really doing me any good if I get stranded on some deserted island, now is it?

So, I come into the office, start taking the old batteries out of the keyboard, and my DS3 comes in and he's freaking out about something being closed. He's extremely animate that I need to come check it out.

I follow him...as he heads out the door, across the deck, and down the stairs.

I ask, "What the heck are you doing?"

"My not doin nuttin. Come on."

I continue to follow him. We walk to the end of the road, where he points to the trash can that got put out yesterday for trash day, and the empty box of cheerio's I had given him earlier. He was trying to get the box into the trash can, but couldn't open the lid.

Oh. My. God. My son took the empty box to the edge of the road all by himself to throw it away. I had meant for him to throw it in the trash can in the kitchen, and I didn't even notice that he went OUTSIDE!! To the ROAD!! By HIMSELF!!

We come back inside, and I have to go to the bathroom. As I'm sitting on the toilet, I happen to notice something.

Something yellow.

In my bathtub.

SOMEONE PEED IN MY TUB!!!!!!!!!

I guarentee it is not my son, so that means that one of our pets is climbing into the bathtub and peeing in there.

I just KNEW this was not going to be a good day.

Sorry in advance for posting such a horribly long post, but I'm Shore, that's what I do.

I'm not sure what I find funnier.....the search for the battery saga or the WTH pee in the tub drama At least it was PEE!

I found a recipe for lemon cupcakes with cream cheese frosting that I want to try, it sounds yummy...I will post it a little later and you can use it .....or not...it does start out with a cake mix, so that makes it a little loserish!

The police have been to my neighbors house three times in the last week. Apparently, they have a problem with their phone, it keeps dialing 911, so they have to come check it out every time. Except the neighbors live in Pennsylvania and aren't here, so I have to go over and let them in the house to make sure there are no dead bodies (seriously, that's what the cop told me).
-------

My horrorscope says to ignore all the busybodies who think they know how to run your life better than you do.

So I'll be avoiding any controversial threads today.

Gee, sounds like a wonderful day, huh?

That happened to us one time! But then again…I have called 911 a couple of times for real things!

I love love LOVE dying eggs! It's my favorite Easter tradition!

We decided today to skip the ham thing and have a big corn-dog party for Easter. My mom and dad used to make corn dogs for this big neighborhood carnival when I was a kid, and they're the best corn dogs ever. The secret recipe has been passed to me, but we only make them every few years.

I did, however, agree to also make potato salad and some kind of cutesy dessert. I want to make something really winnerish. Any ideas?

I love to dye eggs too! Yummm…corn dogs! I made strawberry napoleons one time-frozen pasty dough, some strawberries and cool whip….They looked really fancy, but were really easy!

Jello eastereggs?

yummm…..

Holy crap! They are going to get fined! If you have the key, maybe you should go over and unplug all their phones.

When our number was dialing 911, there wasn’t even a phone connected to it? It was a line for our computer, but we had switched to cable, so there was nothing attached to the line???

It's like a car wreck.. You just can't look away.....

I just picked up my dog from the vet. He had surgery to remove a bump on his head....I am so depressed! I cried on the way home b/c I felt so bad that I had to put him through that! I couldn't imagine having to put a child through surgery!

But on a brighter side...I get to meet our governor today!

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

They won't get fined. The cops know it's in the phone line. The problem is with the wiring in the box outside of their house. When it gets wet, it acts funny.

It happens to many, many people down here. Including myself. THAT was not a fun night.

Cop shows up at the door. It's 9pm, two days before Christmas, I'm in some really funky (yet comfy) old clothes, DS(six at the time) was still running around the house.

Lights are whizzing in the driveway. Two cops are at my door. "Ma'am, we've had a 911 call from this address."

"This address?"

"Is there anyone here with you, ma'am?" the cop says as he's shining a flashlight in my face. Duh, the lights are on, why do they need a flashlight?

"Me and my kids."

"Can we come in and take a look around?"

"Well, sure, if you can get in, just be careful, there's toys all over the place."

"Did anything happen here tonight, ma'am? Any reason for someone to call 911?"

"My phone isn't even working. I couldn't call 911 even if someone died."

Must've been the wrong thing to say, because the cop looked at me funny. "I'll need to check your phone ma'am." He's still holding the flashlight like it's a club and he's going to need it to beat the crap out of somebody.

I go to get him the phone, to prove no one called 911, because the phone was dead.

Next thing I know, DS is telling the cops, "You know, my daddy left."

Now, how bad does that sound? I know the cops didn't believe me, but they eventually left, telling me to get in touch with the phone company to have that fixed right away. How in the heck am I going to get in touch with the phone company when I don't have a phone and live out in the middle of nowhere??

And here's a bunny cake
that you could make for your Easter dessert. Looks kinda winnerish to me.

This is the funniest thing I have read in a long, long time. Please tell me that "Daddy left" to go to work or something, so I can laugh at that too...I mean, he didn't LEAVE leave, did he?
