TKers Take the Fifth!

[MagiKitty]

I qualified for Millionaire!

Now, don't get too excited. If you know anything about me, my life is remarkable.

So I'm calling in and answering questions....on question 5, the last one, when my phone starts beeping. Edward (who some of you will meet next weekend) is calling and beeping through. I can't hear the choices! I get disqualified.

Undaunted, I call again, this time using the highly illegal practice of using my mother's birthdate and social security number. I get all five questions right and am invited to select a day that I may come to NY and tape the show.

But I can't....because I used someone else's name. I know it was wrong, but I just had to try again and find out if I COULD get all the questions right. This is some bad karma I'm dancing with.

I have four more days to qualify. If I don't, some of you may have to help me sacrifice Edward in a freaky S'mores accident. That jerk just cost me a million dollars! Arrgh! I'm so mad right now!

 

[mariezp]

I am feeling some better today. Actually, I haven't been feeling bad all over anyway. Just a sore knotted up tummy. Looks like I gave it back to DH. Since he is probably the one who brought it home to me I guess it's pretty fair that I give him something back.

lighttech, congrats on BL's first step! There will be no stopping him now!

whgrn, it sounds like your niece has outdone my DD on the burping talent. Of course, my DD was quick to rise to the challenge and started belting out some unknown tune just as soon as I told her about your niece.

Pikester, wow! I am impressed with your DH and DS11's bike ride. 50 miles is quite a trek! (well, it would be for me!) What a great way to spend the day.
I am right there with you. I don't drive unless it is practically an emergency.
At least you goober husband made an attempt to make up to you with buying you a new toothbrush. Mine would have just laughed at me.

Magikitty, I agree with Racetrack! Maybe she has something there... sneak a trip into Disneyland. I can vouch for it being a wonderful place to go and you will already be so close if you are already going to the Grand Canyon. I can't help much with WDW but I could give you some advice when it comes to DL! Just let BF do the "financial backing" and we can have you fixed up in no time!
Don't you just hate call waiting sometimes! My DH calls all the time when I am in the middle of something I can't switch over from. When I don't click over IMMEDIATELY he panics so when I finally get through and call him back he is all frantic. "Why didn't you answer? Is something wrong?" Anyway, too bad about Millionaire not working out so far. Can you get your mother there since you have already got her foot in the door? Maybe she can win your money for you. Darn, if you can't get back in, I wish I could be there to see "Edward roasting on an open fire.... Kitty breaking off his toes".... We could really turn him into a musical sensation!

D&DDisney, I gotta agree with one exception.... I ALWAYS wonder about men! If there is anything I have learned in life it is that I will never figure them out. Just when you think you have a clue to what they will do next they will do something totally different. I wonder if women are just as much of a mystery to them?.... NAH! Women are so simple!

 

[Shmu]

Good evening ladies. I had coffee and can't sleep right now. Figured I'd stop in and say hello.

Yay for BL walking. Wow how time flies.

TK meet is coming up quick. Very excited for you guys. Wish I could be there physically. Hopefully can be there virtually. I emailed a Pic.

Keep trying for the Millionaire show and I so hope you make it.

So...Pikester...you mean you don't like driving. I'm with ya on that one when it pertains to city driving.

I'm definitely on facebook. Make sure you find me. PM real names or find me on someone's page.

Big hug to everyone.

Quick update. It looks like we might get a Disney vacation after all. Not going to post a ticker. Don't want to jinx anything. Long story short. We pushed it back for a few weeks. Some of the money is coming in. Hoping to get it all. We'll see. We are only going to do the park one day. Going to just relax and enjoy the hotels and visit my nephew who is going to be a daddy soon. With the Free Dining deal and Disney points we have accumulated, it is coming out affordable. We are all actually looking forward to just swimming and hanging out leisurely at the hotel. Might also hotel hop to see some of the other resorts.

Have a great evening everyone.

 

[MagiKitty]

Good morning...we had some severe storms last night, but right now its just beautiful. Perfect Sunday weather....

I am ALMOST, ALMOST over the Milionnaire incident. I have almost almost forgiven Edward. Almost.

Marie, hope you feel better!

Yeah Shmu! Glad to see you again! So good to hear about the trip. We'll have to see if we can get together! Let me know your schedule...we don't have hoppers, but we'll shuffle something around.

Pikester, how did the cyclists do? Tell them I am very impressed!

Anyone read Real Simple magazine? Amazon has a year's subscription on sale for $5 right now. I really like this magazine. Good recipes, practical information on cleaning, saving money, good house tips. Good gift also.

Off to get the paper and some coffee! Talk to you later! Enjoy the Sunday!

 

[whgrn]

Hey MK, I'm heading up your way today, bringing the kiddos to camp (finally!) I'll wave to you!

I can't believe your Millionaire story! I would be loaded for bear with that Edward! So cool that you qualified though, even if you can't use it. I hope you get another chance and make it!

Shmu nice to see you! How exciting about your trip. Hope it works out for you.

marie I hope you are feeling better soon!

We had some wicked thunderstorms last night. Of course DD woke up screaming and ended up in my bed. Which is why I am awake now, 1/2 hour earlier than planned. She SNORES! And so does DDog! *sigh* But the poor doggie was truamatized, not only by the thunder (which he hates), but earlier by the HUGE fireworks over at our town park. He was running all over the backyard barking, and when I scooped him up to comfort him, he was shaking like a leaf! Poor baby, he just doesn't understand.

Well, when y'all next hear from me, I will be footloose and child free! About 6 or 7 hours from now. Yeah, yeah, I'll miss them...in about 3 weeks!

Have a good day everyone!

 

[BKMETV]

Morning all:

it's one of those x-large coffee kinda days...

MK - that's too bad about Millionaire...I can relate to the calling back though, just to prove you can do it.

Not much new here...we had a couple of nice summer days but it's cooled down again to the 60s...the sun is shining though

I think I mentioned that BIL has been coming and going from their cottage so I've been babysitting my sister...yesterday he came by (she was already here and they left in her car)...so I got left his brand new Mini Cooper, so guess what I've been tootling around town in...I'm considering it as payment for babysitting. Unlike Pike I LOVE to drive...especially a standard!!

I'm debating going upstairs and checking on DD...my early riser is still asleep and it 10...she's never slept past 8 in her life.

Well better get to it. TTYL

 

[DL55]

Gee, I take a day off from the DIS and I miss BL walking.

The Grand Canyon is a loong day's drive from DL. Also don't go to either mid summer!

Instead of meeting you all, we are going camping the following weekend. The state park has NO water and vault toilets. They do provide picnic tables and a fire ring. At least we won't have to pay a fee. DH just wants to get his money's worth out of the tent trailer.

 

[mariezp]

Just dropping by to make a quick ditty post... just in case someone pops in and needs a little laugh.


Bra Shopping

A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's, and walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife"

What type of bra?" asked the clerk.

"Type?" inquires the man. "There is more than one type?"

"Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material.

"Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only three types of bras," replied the salesclerk.

Confused, the man asked what the types were.

The saleslady replied "The Catholic type, the, Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?"

Still confused the man asked, "What is the difference between them?"

The lady responded, "It is all really quite simple. The Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills."



I hope everyone has a nice Sunday afternoon.

 

[M&N]

Lighttech and Shmu!!! Missed you two. And our BL is walking!!!

It seems like he was just born. I suppose next we'll hear his brother will be in KDG. Where does the time go? Glad we'll have another baby to watch grow soon.

Thanks for the 'uplifting' story Marie.

DL55---now that's what I call camping! Not that I want to do it anymore. I had enough as a Girl Scout

Whgrn: Freedom! Now get packing! You have a TK meet to get ready for too don't forget. That's all I was thinking about yesterday.

Keep trying Magikitty...Millionaires aren't made without a little tough luck!

I LOVE DRIVING! If I have somewhere to go! I've said before that mom and I just run around the country to find a different road. I would have picked you up Pikester...my town is before Harrisburg.

I can't remember what else I was going to say...

It's going to get hotter this week---thunderstorm possibilities Thurs and Friday---go figure. Hope it doesn't linger into the weekend!

I remembered: The guess the hair colors game. Is there anyone else who wants to guess?

If you missed the contest, it's on p 54. Racer's family is coming to Hershey very colorful!

 

[MagiKitty]

OMG! I really am going to hit something. Did I not complain incessantly to BF yesterday about Edward and the phone call? Did I not say that I have to try again and call after 7pm? Did I not stress how much I wanted this?

So, its after 7pm. There is something called a clock. I'm calling for Millionaire and who calls me at THE EXACT SAME TIME? The stupid BF! The same one who apparently doesn't know how to listen and retain ANYTHING that I say.

I didn't make it past question two tonight. I am so angry at him!

He says its not his fault that I failed. That makes me even more angry!

He said to call him back when I'm in a better mood. I hope he's ready to wait a very, very long time. Instead of being contrite and apologizing he's blaming me for not calling him first. Does he not understand the correct mindset for trivia?

I am so mad at him right now. Its not meant to be, fine. But he's not helping any.

 

[M&N]

MEN!

 

[MagiKitty]

I forgot to play the hair game! Here are my guesses:

Racetrack: flaming red highlights
DH: electric lizard highlights
DS16: after midnight blue
DD13: vampire red
DD8: hot hot pink
DD6: purple haze

 

[MagiKitty]

Hi M&N! It feels like forever since you're been on here! You're home early from your weekend. Did you go to Hershey today?

 

[Sukie]

A quick hello to all. With most of you at Hershey who will be holding down the fort after 8:00pm

Another question for the experts. What do you suggest for sea-sickness?

D&D~ Thanks so much, I love being a "FLATTIE". Donald and I are so happy.

M&N~ You said it Sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MagiKitty~ I can't believe that a "Millionaire" is amongst us. You go girl.

Lighttech~ You better watch out. I remember when Pikester started out walking and then started running and she never stopped.

mariezp~ That stuff as been going on around here lot. I hope you will feel better. I liked that "ditty" post.

[M&N]

Wow...just IMed with my couisin's wife that I remet at the funeral. She's a sweetheart. But IMing makes me stressed...I don't know why. I guess it's because I'm not a good typist.

I can still get on after I'm home from meeting the TKers. I think D&D will have a computer along too. Someone will be here I hope.

Glad you thought to include Donald with your flatness! I have Pal Mickey. We'll get some good pics.

The Lettermen were wonderful! It was packed...not sure how many that place holds. I got there 45 min early and sat up high instead of the side but think the side would be better. You hear a lot of the rides up higher. Chubby Checker is next week!

 

[Pikester]

Good evening!

Not much going on right now. Today was a beautiful day here so DH took the boys swimming and I stayed home and reveled in the quiet. I was actually able to watch a show without having to pause it to answer a question or break up fighting. I also found time to get a few chores done.

DH and DS11 had a good time on their Cancer fundraising bike ride. The weather was great and there was a great turn out. Between the both of them they raised $330.00 for Cancer research. Editing to add the total raised for the Prouty bike/walk: $1.9 Million
M&N:
Bible: I keep trying but it's so dull.
Gone With the Wind:
Harry Potter-don't know which one they wanted but mayby all?:All 7
Lord of the Rings: Weird language, hard to get into.
The Stand (S. King) :Saw the movie
DaVinci Code:Saw the movie
To Kill a Mockingbird:
Angels & Demons:
Atlas Shrugged (don't know this one):
Catcher In the Rye: Read this; wasn't bad.

MEN!!!!

Thank you to M&N and Magikitty for offering to pick me up.

 

[M&N]

It's great your guys like to bike together--plus the added bonus of doing some good. Glad you were able to enjoy your quiet time.

Haven't read GWTW!!! (Humming Tara's theme!)

 

[M&N]

I'm so mad...tried 2 min to get the reply page to come up and nothing...then this time took a min!

Poor Pikester thinks I deserted her! Sorry.

I was going to say I only read the 1st LOTR book but I did see the movies. I bought the DVD's to see it again. I do like the movies but not sure how faithful they are to the books. Not too much off I think a friend told me.
