The Maelstromers... a FASTPASS! Part 2

[GeorgiaAristocat]

Ah hem. Morning EVERYONE, but especially LALA since she was the only one who even MISSED me yesterday/last night. I'm putting everyone else on ignore. For at least a minute or two.

No internet at the house last night. EEEEEEK! I told the husband that he must get that fixed TONIGHT, FIRST THING.

for the sickos: LLK, MarkyMark, and Pooh. (and also for those taking care of the sickos - Jason, Rhonda, Wesley, and the poops.)

PongoJen - HOW CLOSE WAS IT???? I missed the answer.

Horsey - Where's my list? I keep my PM's cleared out, which is not difficult to do, since they don't fill up very fast with only the riddle everyday. I'm going to PM LaLa right now. Maybe she'll be my friend. (j/k ya'll, plenty of you PM me from time to time! I feel the love!)

MellyMel - I am going to send you the Classics without a request, hope you don't mind. But I need to update them. I find it hard to believe that we haven't said anything list-worthy in the last 100 pages. Which is where my list ends. ooops.

And I'm going to send a guess on the riddle, but it is undoubtedly wrong, so if anyone wants to give me some mints, they would be appreciated. I'm an idiot apparently.

Hi Mel! Good to have you back! As soon as I'm done here I am going to check out the start of your report!! What did you tag say? I never saw it. Please do tell!

I finally had a chance to get my pictures uploaded.

This first one is what my hair looked like for the wedding...

This is Ethan. He was the ring bearer.

This is what we saw less than a mile from my Mom's house on the way home from the wedding.

This is what we were greated with when we could finally get home the next day.

What's left of the shed...

Right outside ours and the kids bedrooms...

Us at AK a couple weeks ago with my brother..

Good Morning ALL Maelstromers !!! You know who you are. For those that lurk here and don't post, this greeting IS NOT FOR YOU!!!

So, which group am I in?

I mostly lurk.

However, I do occasionally post.

But when I do post, I almost never get noticed!!

 

[dana0801]

Hi Dana !!!

Don't count on the food poisoning, it's not gonna make DD listen to you. I have an almost 15 year old. Let me just tell you, she is sooooo waaaaaaaaaay smarter than little Me. What do I know, huh? Nothing? I'm a 38 year old dummy. I don't know How I managed this long without her helping me!!! Teenagers, you've GOT to love them. Or kill them! Just kidding. Or am I???? No, really, I'm just kidding. If you raise a teenager, you are SOOOOOOO going straight to Heaven when you DIE !!!!

Oh Thank God. I thought I was the only one who somehow went from intelligent to dumber than a box of rocks when she turned 13. Now that she's 16 I'm just a drooling idiot. I love how she even knows how to drive the car (and yet has never sat behind the wheel, go figure!)

I am reminded daily of how extremely intelligent she is compared to my being mentally incapable.

That's ok though I pay her back by quoting all the cool phrases so that she looks at me and says "never do that again".

LaLa ((((slap))))

You BM about no PM's and then you don't even open them.

Geez! ((((slapslap))))

 

[2infinity&B-ond]

I should be studying for my final tomorrow...but it is SOOO hard to stay motivated. The is finally out after weeks of rain!!! How am I supposed to concentrate, huh? Plus MellyMel is back and has ALREADY started her trippie!!!!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Ohhhhhh... you're not a lurker Spectrum-Turbo.

Not at all. It's those troublemakers named Buzzton and Princessprissypie that you have to watch out for. They're lurkers. I think.

Although I'm technically a lurker, too. 'Cause I'm still in SPY mode. Which I like. Kinda. But I call it "Ghostmode". I find my little RED light a little creepy dee too. But in a good way. Only I can see it. You know?

Morning all. Newbies and lurkers too. Yep you too.

I gotta deal with all the suitcases full of junk and laundry from our trip. Yechhhhh.

BTW... MommyP... WOW. Those pics are frightening. Except for the hair one. That one was nice and fancy. BUT... the fire ones... WOW. I have to say it again. You all were lucky that you only got the amount of damage you did. How awful though.

Well... I noticed that you aren't studying.

I noticed that you're, apparently, not motivated as well.

What say you do my mountain of smelly damp moldering laundry and I'll study for YOU? As long as it's easy. I can barely iron. Or correctly separate my colours from my whites. Errrr... my greys.

Kitty Litter Cake
Ingredients:
1 Spice or German Chocolate Cake Mix
1 White Cake Mix
1 Pkg White Sandwich Cookies
1 large pkg Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
Green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls
1 *new* kitty litter box
1 *new* kitty litter box plastic liner
1 *new* pooper scooper


Preparation Instructions:
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, they tend to stick, so scrape often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup.
To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar.

When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, mix with the cake and "feel" it, you don't want it soggy, just moist; gently combine.

Line new, clean kitty litter box. Put mixture into litter box. Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture.

Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.

Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, 3 at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. This is my addition--only: spread 5 of the remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box; sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs.

Serve with a *new* pooper scooper.

Sounds good to me. I can ruin laundry with the best of 'em. You mean your're supposed to SEPERATE the clothes? That explains a lot. It also explains why my washing machine has a seperate button for whites. I always wondered about that....

My test is on the Urinary System (quick get a fanny pack ready for Zzub), Fluids, Electrolytes and Acid BAse Homeostasis and the Reproductive System. Plus whatever else my teacher feels like putting on there from the rest of the semester. I'll PM you with my notes and I'll make room in my laundry room for your clothes.

Just throw it all out and buy new.

OMG Poop - This pic made me throw up in my mouth a LOT! Spew hit the monitor as well as the keyboard. Now I need both new.

Anyway, what I was gonna say is:

Mornin' ALL Maelstromers

Lurkers too. Post more - those counts are so important!
My fav lurker - Austin - come out OK - you Maelstrom lovin' man! We know you are here.....

Mel - welcome back - don't you love the welcome home weather we put on for you! At least it should be OK for this weekend

Sheridac - did you catch AR last night?
I watched, nice and stress free. Usually I'm up Tom Cruising it on the couch while watching. I like it when my team wins!

2I&B - get studying - or you can come here and do my laundry too!

Lala {{{{{{{{{{{{{SLAP}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Dana

LLK - hope you are better and back posting soon!

MP - Pic's were a big frightening of the fires! Hope all is OK now. Ethan is adorable! And your hair too!

All other not well Maelstromers - physical or otherwise - get better
And Maelstromers computers - Grammy and GA - get those back up and running soon!

Poops/hoops special little guy - Pooh! Good luck tonight buddy! Grammy's been mute for a few dates so we all know how it feels!
If not - just get back into the Absolute - Honey flavoured is the best!

 

[2infinity&B-ond]

Is that possible when you really haven't started yet??

I gotta take DS5 to speech. He has lots of speech issues. He is working on his C's, K,'s, G,'s and needs to work on his L's. Only I hope they don't 'fix' the L's...cuz right now they come out as a Y sound... and it really is cute.

When he says I love you...it comes out "I Yove You." Don't fix that...he'll figure it out by the time he goes to college...right?

 

[sheridac]

YAK!!

You sooo did not mention creepycruise in the same sentence as AR did you??

I still can't believe those hippies beat out my frat boys. Brains over brawn and beauty I guess.

 

[hooP]

Ohhhhhh... you're not a lurker Spectrum-Turbo.

Morning all. Newbies and lurkers too. Yep you too.

Whether we are Newbies or Lurkers, Old Veterans or new, talented writers or not, we are all part of the "Circle of Life". We must all be excellent to each other! We must set no expectations and no goals for eachother!

There is a scene from the movie Dodge Ball that goes something like this:

"I find that if I never set any goals for myself, I never get disapointed, and so far that has worked out great for me."

We should always act like we are on the spice.

We laugh together, cry together, Joke together, type together and spice together.

We take part in this because we all have needs whether we need to by needy or we need to share.

I once too was sad because no one noticed my post or PMed me.
now, when I type, I type for myself, I type for my country, I type for my dog, I type for Lou's dog, I type for the little dust particles that you see in your house as the sun shines through the window, I type for finger exercise, I type because when I am typing no one can interrupt my conversation.

Oh God. I just realized I'm mental. Is there a therapist in the house?

 

[Chapter 11]

YAK!!

You sooo did not mention creepycruise in the same sentence as AR did you??

I still can't believe those hippies beat out my frat boys. Brains over brawn and beauty I guess.

Every time, sister (which, of course makes all the Maelstrom women so special, 'cause they got both in spades -- the guys, not so much). Okay, back to work -- shameless sucking up over.
