The Maelstromers... a FASTPASS!

[LaLa]

Thank you.
Do you mean this one?


overlooking family room from upstairs hallway

It's a Bilco door. It leads to the basement from outside. We also have stairs that go to the basement from off the entry foyer. Our basement is finished so that bilco door leads to the storage area of the basement.

Yep, that's the one and gotcha. I had to check to see which state you were in again when I saw it the first time.

Okay, now I'm really gone. 'Night.

Hi buddies,

My head is spinning. I don't know if it's the dirty martini or the nonstop meteorshower of 80's lyrics and film clips! Love it!

Am I the only punk who knows

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out.

???

But ok, Lala,

she's just a girl who says that I am the one
but the chair is not my son

PasleahPoohPrettyGirl, Yep, down dog, up dog, chattarunga!


All the nasty vomit talk reminded me of a little story. Last year on Veterans Day (I remember it clearly because I recall thinking, "If not for those darn Veterans my boy would've been in school and this NEVER would have happened!" ) Ah, never mind. I can't tell a gross story right now. I'll throw up a little in my mouth.

I remember what Horseyponypoodleydoodleydoo's big secret is! I think. It might've been somebody else. But I'm pretty there was a "don't tell Mel" pact.

First things first....

Lemme go o-oonnnnn
Like a blister in the sun
Lemme go o-oonnnn
Big hands I know you're the one.....

Now, yeah, that's good, but have you ever heard this one...

Hold me closer Tony Daaaa-anza

I used to love him. You know, on Who's The Boss. So cute.

Okay, now I'm really, really gone.

TTFN.

 

[horsegirl]

ABC its easy as 123
let's sing it now ABC 123
Come on baby just you and me!


Pooh- Your house - OMG Can I just say your house is well, beautiful? Holy architecture it is DA BOMB! And all that PA Rock- you aren't near Hopewell and that whole area are you? I can't remember any PA names out there. I was gonna start a stroller flame on you ala nm' thread, but now all I can do is go gaga over your stately abode. Love the interior too-granite, cherry, wrought iron and artwork. oooh oooh you are peakin' my art degree senses!

Kim, What the heliogram is my secret and why did we say not to tell Mel?

Lala-You make me wanna lala


Zzub- I prefer the word toot or tooting

 

[Chapter 11]

Oh Zzub and Mel- So my father is Jewish and my Mother Catholic. Yeah both sides loved that match. The first meal my Mother ever made for my Dad was a ham. She was clueless.

I can beat that. My father is Jewish and my mother is Presbo (figure it out). One night we had the Rabbi over for dinner. Mom made her famous green beans, mixed with sauteed mushrooms, and .... wait for it ..... bacon. Ooops. Felt bad for the Rabbi -- he loved green beans. Felt worse for my mother. Still, at age 13, it seemed awfully funny at the time. Actually, it seems funny today too.

By the way, don't you people ever sleep, eat, go to work? I leave for a few hours, and I'm like 300 posts behind. Crikey!

 

[Chapter 11]

Is it an horrific dream
Am I sinking fast
Could a person be so mean
As to laugh and laugh
On my own
Could you ease my load
Could you see my pain
Could you please explain
The hurting

Haley:

 

[kpk89]

All right, people, no more staying up all night if it means you can't get up and back to the board at a decent hour.

Where is everybody?

Pasleah-Pooh-dilley-dooooo -- Your house is beautiful. I agree that a PA Maelstrom meet would soooo be at your house. My house is so messy. I want to sell it and start with a fresh new house.

La-La-Roo-tilly-doo -- I'm movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches ..... (peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man)

And, to add to the misheard lyrics collection:

'scuse me, while I kiss this guy!

Po-ny-girlie-dee-doo -- You know, the one? About that thing? Beenember?

(about G.S. ...)

Mom-mee-Poppinsee-roo --- Hope Kaleb is on the mend at last. And that the whole situation with your house works out. I have to admit I read it in the wee hours last night and did not fully comprehend, but I at least grasped that a little wouldn't hurt cha.
So hear you go!

and





Everyone else --- Maelstrom ...

 

[nicolemarie]

Kim and LaLa -

Enjoying both of your TR's very much -

LaLa - My little man had a ball game last night, too. But he's three, and hit the ball then ran to third base. I guess we've got a little practicing to do before we are turning double plays!

Paslea Pooh - You're house is beautiful. We are contemplating building - have some plans sitting in an architect's office ready to go, but we are to scared to do it!!

I was, uh...born in the 80's. I only recently seen The Breakfast Club, I never listened to any of this music, except NKOTB...which I listened to at a heathen friends house, because I was raised up in a VERY strict christian home, and we didn't listen to that type of music. My DH on the other hand would know all this music, I'm sure. He knows every song from the past 40 years. I only wish he could remember the important things. The best I can do is 1990. The master of stolen music. Vanilla Ice.

Yo VIP let's kick it

Ice ice baby (x2)
All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice ice baby vanillla...

DH actually sings this to me...or raps it, whatever...the scary thing is well, I like it.

What I can't believe is how many of you watch Raven! I like it, but DH would rather be tortured than watch those silly shows. I never noticed the set was the same as SBTB though..

Kaleb seems better, last night he had hives. He's reached that age..you know the one...everytime I tell him no, he screams and takes a huge fit. At least he's not climbing out of his bed anymore. One battle won, now on the next..

So, you know how I've been talking about going to be beach all week...well it's supposed to be thunderstorms all day tomorrow. We haven't had rain in who knows how long...plan a beach day and you get thunderstorms.

My boys have peed on me more times than I can remember...but our best story comes not from pee, but poo. It was our first son, DH was changing him. He smartly had his pointer covered so he didn't get sprayed. DH had him by the ankles, lifting his butt up to put a diaper under him when suddenly he pooped. Not just any poo, projectile poo. It shot out of his butt and about 3 feet away landed on the wall. I swear! He was little, bf'd and had that nastly yellow loose poo, it came out like a rocket and smacked into the wall. I was too hysterical to help.

The meeting went well yesterday. We'll find out next week if we qualify and at what rate and blah. It's so stressful.

Well, I'm off to exercise and get Jeremiah's school done. Check in later.

Maelstrom!

Po-ny-girlie-dee-doo -- You know, the one? About that thing? Beenember?

(about G.S. ...)



[/B]

OOOOOOOOOOOh, yea, that lil' midnight confession.....do I dare say it again?
Nah.

Kimmieloohoo, how are you, miss writer extraordinaire? Can you please tell me what the 6 elements of good writing are?

 

[LaLa]

La-La-Roo-tilly-doo -- I'm movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches ..... (peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man)

Millions of peaches... Heavenly peaches...peaches for me.... peaches for you...

Bring it on sista.....

'Scuse me while I kiss this guy. That's too funny.

Misheard lyrics are really funny. How bout Eddie Vedder. Pearl Jam. Yellow Ledbetter. Nuff said.

Yeah, what the heck IS he sayin' in that song anyway? The only thing I can ever make out is ....I see them. Can you see them...aaaahhhah ...dime in away yeah, I don't wanna go I don't wanna stay ahhhhhh hah hah. It's a great song but come on man. Sober up a little.

Po-ny-girlie-dee-doo -- You know, the one? About that thing? Beenember?

(about G.S. ...)

Okay, now I've got to know the secret. What is it? Just whisper it and Mel won't hear.

Maelstrom ...

Is a Fastpass!!!!

Nicolemarie: Yeah, when DS started teeball, he did more picking flowers in the outfield for me than anything else. It was always really cute, just watching them. This is really the first year that we have noticed him actually caring about the games. Before, yeah, not so much. He'd bat and do his thing and it was over. But this year, I think it's finally clicked. He actually can't wait to get out there now. And dadgummit he looks cute in those little ball pants with his little baseball glove tucked in his back pocket.

Do yall airbrush their batting helmets? Here, you gotta have the helmet airbrushed with their name on it and something like baseballs on the sides of the helmet with lightning and flames coming out of the back of it. When I had this done for DS, he was 5 I think and it was just so funny to me when I picked it up. At the time, the poor fellow couldn't hit the side of a barn with his bat and here we were paying money to have some guy airbrush flaming baseballs on the side of his helmet.

Okay, who can finish this one....

I study nuclear science, I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better

 

[Chapter 11]

I study nuclear science, I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better

I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright
I gotta wear shades, I gotta wear shades


Gotta love Timbuk3 (well, actually, maybe you don't).

Ok, since you started that theme..

While she's deceiving me
It cuts my security (has)
She got control of me
I turn to her and say

What does he say, LaLa??

 

[kpk89]

Horsegirl, you should know, 'cause you've got 'em all!!

The Six Traits of Writing, as outlined by Vickie Spandel, are:
Ideas (topic, content)
Sentence Fluency (flow, rhythm)
Conventions (spelling, grammar, punctuation)
Organization (paragraph structure)
Word choice (good vocab, baby!)
Voice (personality of the writer coming through)

and, apparently, they've added a new trait since I was last in the classroom,

Presentation (as in line spacing, handwriting, etc. Whatever makes it easily legible)


It was really fun to teach this way, because I'd actually focus on one trait at a time, and use tons of examples of writing that was strong in that trait, average, and weak in that trait. And it also ensured that a child who had, say, a poor use of conventions (perhaps due to a learning disability) wouldn't totally flunk if they had strong ideas and voice.

You get an "A" in my class, girlie!

 

[sheridac]

Hi all - I had an idea, it sounded good in my head anyway.

How many have seen that movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?

Well.... since we all can't get together at the same time, I was thinking what if we got ourselves a Mickey and he went with all of us on our trips. We could include him in our TR's, in some of our pic's. We would all sign him and them pass him on to the next Maelstomer. It would be like the Maelstromhood of the Traveling Mickey?

Does sound as good as it did in my head?

 

[kpk89]

That's a neat idea! Do they make a Viking Mickey? Maelstrom!

My son's kindergarten teacher (hopefully soon to be my daughter's teacher) had a Franklin that went home each night with one of the kids. They'd write in a journal about what Franklin did with their family, take pictures and include those ... it was really cute!

If there were a Maelstromers mascot, I'd take it on vacation. Good one, Sheridac!

 

[Frickles]

I'd say everybody has been mighty busy on this board again! It's wierd to be laughing and then gagging... It's a good thing I haven't been reading this with a hangover...

Laaa Laaa....
My 7 year old plays baseball and we have the big hot stuff airbrushed batting helmet!!!! Our local mall has it's own airbrush shop now ....whowouldthunkit?!?! We're going to get a tag made for our car with my name and my dh's name airbrushed over a big pink heart with palm trees in the background. Sweet.

 

[pongoperdigirl]

That is a great idea, but we could even mail it around without going on trips, to include those who aren't going right away.

I say we see if Mel canpick one up in Norway when she is there....cause she is the one going soonest right??? Or is someone else going sooner....I would gladly help pay for it (the Mickey, not their trip )

 

[nicolemarie]

I am VERY offended by your comment. I do have an airbrush tag on my car. It says "Nic's Ride" and it has the Chevy symbol AND a Rebel flag. It looks great with the sticker on my back window of a little guy with a Chevy symbol peeing on the Ford logo.

 

[Frickles]

My edit got edited...I was trying to say b*tchin...that's all...didn't want y'all to think I was a little potty mouth over here.

Hey Pongo!!!! I ran at 7:50 this morning...in shorts and a t-shirt and I was HOT!!!! Is your weather getting better? We are having awesome weather here....except for a few stroms. My boys have already got little farmer tans!

Love the new house pictures pooh! (pooh I think it was you...I've been catching up this morning and hopefully I remembered correctly).
