The Maelstromers... a FASTPASS! Part 2

[Master Gracie]

58% Evil - 20% Snob.

I guess that means I'll make fun of you whether you wear designer jeans or not.

Oh Haley,

You know how I am about a dare!!

Exactly.

I did not take the evil quiz because I am too lazy to sign up at the site just to take a quiz.

BUT, my wonderful, loving, thoughtful, generous DH just called me a couple of hours ago to say that he wants me to look into buying a second computer for the house. #1 is STILL waiting for a part, and I'm reeeeaaaallllllly getting tired of only having a computer in work (after all, how much time can I really spend doing homework for my kids and DISing when these people around here expect me to earn my salary??!?!?) Soooo, we get a Dell discount at work. We don't need anything fancy. Don't think we want a laptop just yet....unless you guys have any thoughts on the subject? JW, any advice for me? We will be doing the wireless connection thing, too, so I'll have to go back and look at your posts about 20 pages ago....

Only you can decide if you want a laptop or not, it has its advantages and its disadvantages. With a decent laptop you are looking at around $1100 from Dell (you can get ones cheaper but it is better to get a mid-grade one that will do everything that you would want to do with it). For about the same price you can get a very good mid-range desktop with a 19" LCD monitor. I suspect that whichever way you go the new computer will become your primary computer and the old one will be the secondary.

I would not recommend getting a router from Dell, you can get better deals on the router elsewhere. Also if you go with the Dell desktop do NOT get a USB wireless adapter (I believe these are what Dell offers and it would be much better to get a wireless PCI card that matches up with the router that you get).

When you decide if you want to get a laptop or a desktop we can provide some recommendation on exactly what you should get (you need to customize the ones on their website, don't get drawn in by the starting prices that Dell lists because you will not be happy with their basic systems). It is also important to know what you intend to use the computer for (in addition to Dising) and how much you want to spend.

Ah, JW.... your first post of the day and it did not include a hi for me?????
(((((slap))))))


Am I slipping?

 

[jw50]

Is JW already on the train? Hi Sweetie! Have a good day!

Hi Sweetie, I was already off the train, I get to work around 8:30. I catch the train at 7:13.

I hope you didn't get burned while waiting for the UPS guy

 

[sheridac]

Holy Crap!! Haley I just heard a noise at my door and scared about 10 years off my mailman!!

I didn't have to sign up. Just follwed the link in the thread started by Maleficent13 (I think).

I believe someone is scared of us finding out how evil she is.

Oh thanks goodness! A partner in crime!

Remember everyone who is taking the quiz........y'all have broken the law at least once! You drive? Going over the speed limit is breaking the law

Also, I know all Maelstomers have "blamed a fart on someone else"



HaleyB - you can take the quiz without signing up. Just click on the link and scroll down and you'll see the quiz.

One more for the day and that is it. You guys are cutting into my book deal.
This is a spice story so you should enjoy it.

Same son, same Mother of Grandson(whom I love) but geez she is naive.

Son tells then GF lots of things about me. Why, I will never know. Maybe cause she just believed them all.

In our old house, a big farmhouse, I had a herb garden outside my kitchen window. Our bedroom was directly above the kitchen. Son tells GF that I smoke pot out of my bedroom window every evening after dinner. For medical reasons. The seeds fall out and pot grows in the window planter.

Fast forward - she is pregnant with my unborn grandchild. I am making Sunday dinner, like every Sunday. A very nice chicken dish. I cut some fresh herbs to add to the recipe. Fresh is always nice. We set down to the table to eat. She leans over to my son and whispers in his ear. He bursts out laughing and tells us all what she said. "Is it OK for me to eat this cause your mom put pot on the chicken.I don't know if it is good for the baby."

Like I said, brains and beauty don't always mix.

Does laughter make a sound when there's no one (not even a UPS guy) to hear it?

Grammy, I'm catching a bus to your estate for supper. I love herbed chicken.

 

[hooP]

If I had to share hooP with anyone , it would be you! You are a gem.

You will not share me on a Disney boat
You will not share me on a Disney float
Although our friends are really sweet
you will not share me at the Maelstrom meet

You will not share me at Magic Mountain
You will not share me at the Epcot fountain
You will not share me at the smoked turkey leg stations
And especially not at Illuminations

You will not share me with with Grammyof2
or that dog Max and his owner Lou
You will not share me with Sheridac
or anyone else from the Maelstrom pack

You will not share me here or there
You will not share me any where
And in case you haven't got a clue
You will not share me paslea_pooh

All kidding asside, I would like to thank all of you for being nice to PP and getting her through some hectic days.

I guess in a way we all share each other. We share laughs, tears, prayers, funny stories. The list goes on!

Be excellent to eachother!

Peace out!

You are evil, but you haven't yet mastered the dark side.
Fear not though - you are on your way to world domination.

We lived in Savannah for 3 years. United Methodist Ministers are appointed to churches, not hired. Which means we are told when and where we will live and serve.

We were set to move and had packed up everything, ready to go the next morning. Well, we lived in downtown savannah. I know everybody thinks it is beautiful, but living there is a totally different story. We alwyas looked over our shoulders when we were getting to the house late at night. The church van was broken into twice - and it sat right next to our cars. Our music ministers car was rboken into 3 times. My SIL stayed with us one summer while she was still in college and her car was stolen from the parking lot. Just not a lot of fun. One morning, Rhonda walked out the back gate and there was a dued peeing on our fence. Lots of homeless folks around!

So anyway, we were packed up and ready to go. We had a big Uhaul truck with one of the trailers on it to pull my truck. Rhonda was to drive her car. We parked the Uhaul and trailer in the middle of the lot, hoping no one would mess with it overnight.

When we got out the next morning ready to go, it would appear that someone that that the wheel on the trailer would be a good back board for them to use while they took a dump. Oh yes, right there in the middle of the parking lot, all on the tire. Pretty gross stuff.

Like that one?

EWWWW. So I guess whoever it was had "Tired Poopie"? Sorry couldn't resist.

MasterG - you forgot to edit......is that evil??

I'd say that this crew puts alot of stock in edit messages. Therefore, the lack thereof would be pretty irritating.

So yes...see my evil multiply!

Ok Grammy I got a couple for ya.

I have a cousin who is the sweetest thing in the world and thank the Lord after she's had three kids has somehow plugged into the world. However when she was in high school she was what we lovingly refer to around here as brunette challenged.

She is in her health class in high school and they are studying the female anatomy when the instructor asks if anyone knows what a v**** is (in the nether regions of the female anatomy). My cousin raises her hand and says "it's a car right?"

Same cousin is dating the guy she eventually marries and they are in his parents suburban. It starts to sprinkle and her then bf is doing the intermitant wipers. My cousin looks at him and says how are they doing that (meaning the wipers) and her bf looks at her deadpan and says there are special sensors in the windshield that will let the car know when it's wet.

Ok same cousin a couple of years later (graduated, married one kid (I guess it takes at least two for the brain to engage totally).) and she notices her tire getting low. She (thinking she will outsmart husband) stops at the auto parts store. I know you are wondering what is she doing there? Wait for it..... She calls and asks him where the special air is for the tire because she can't find it (no she wasn't looking for the flat fix. Her hubby had told her tires take "special" air.)

I have a feeling that your DIL (?) and my cousin may have been psychically related somehow.
