Untitled Hyena Chat thread part deux!

[sameyeyam]

You guys say the funniest things. I admit though I like to hog the handicapped bathrooms. There's more room for my legs. I also like the giant change rooms in the stores, sometimes if a clerk puts me in a small room I run to a bigger room that has a chair.

Don't you mean gniat? or is that gnait? or ginat? BERNICE, we need the Hyena Dictionary!

Notice I changed my thought of the day to something a little less controversial. Well at least I hope so, I'll probably have someone over on the budget board lecturing me about how much more expensive microwave popcorn is than regular popcorn. Then there will be the thread that will be tearing me apart for popping microwave popcorn in my hotel room, upside down and possibly catching the entire hotel on fire. Or the ever favorite lecture about trying to sneak my own bag of popcorn past the security checkpoint into Disney!

 

[XTinabell]

I like microwave popcorn. I butter it even though it's already butter I know that's bad, but oh well. I never look which way I put the popcorn in the microwave so it's entirely possible i put the this side down side up. It's never caught fire.

dh is bringing me home burger king for supper. I'm scared, I don't like fast food and I've never had burger king but I'm starving and I refuse to make supper or clean my kitchen tonight. So my choices were pizza, kfc or burger and I decided I want a cheeseburger.

 

[sameyeyam]

Holy crap, you have the best boss. My last boss gave me a paper weight that looked like an ice cube. I still have it I thought it was awesome, but now I feel ripped off

I must say this job does have its perks. So far this month I've gotten two $50 Starbucks cards, a $100 bill because my boss asked me out for lunch and then had to cancel because he had to go pick his son up from daycare instead and 250,000 Alaska air miles! They really do treat me like family. But then again I guess it's because I've been here for 19 years.

Although I do have to say that my best perk ever was one year when their mother gave me $50K and gifted it to me so it was tax free! That's what we bought all of our toys with. I paid off the cars, DH got a Harley, the kids got motorcycles and we bought the travel trailer. That was a fun year!! Oh and they've also gifted money to my kids college funds periodically over the years. So that has been really nice also. They really are just like family to me. Well except they have money, unlike my other poor relatives!

Burger King burgers make me belch. I don't know why. They are flame broiled, so they taste pretty good. But it must be something about the flame broiling that my body doesn't like.

Oh that is so awesome! Now that's a way to treat your dedicated employees if you ask me. Sounds like you're well taken care of, and you must be irreplaceable as well otherwise they wouldn't treat you so well.

Hmmmm....she sent me a 2nd PM saying she had a blonde moment and included the link. Maybe she was just being selective?? J/K!!!

Know I don't think it's that. Everyone's replaceable. I think it's because I know all the skeletons in their closets and they are afraid I might leave with all their secrets!

Did shawna not send you another pm with the link? She sent me two, one without the link and one with.

The boards were so slow that I was finding myself too frustrated to stick around and keep posting. But it's moving way faster now I hope it stays that way.

Burger King burgers make me belch. I don't know why. They are flame broiled, so they taste pretty good. But it must be something about the flame broiling that my body doesn't like.

Oh dear. I hope that doesn't happen to me. Pizza makes me really gassy and gives me a hurty tummy so I didn't want pizza and KFC is always greasy and I feel like I need to shower after I eat it so I was hoping for a safe eating experience with burger king. We shall find out.

 

[funnygarcia]

Wow Alison, and to think I was pleased as punch to get the occasional free tickets to plays, orchestra, zoo and basketball games thru Head Start.

At the day care I got an ohhh so lovely water bottle and a handful of candy... ohhhhh thank you so much.. it will go so well with the 4 other water bottles I bought at Target on clearance.. (hmmmmm copy cat)
She meant well, the next year was better though-- GC to some weird gift catalog thing, we got to pick out what we wanted and we all bought the same thing ( Bamboo stand that my cat ever so happily ate pieces off )

Well whatever works.

Speaking of work, I have several projects that I'm working on today. So I need to get some things done. I'll pop back on periodically.

Oh and DD's college info. meeting went real well last night. We also took 2 of her friends that are interested in attending also. I thought that rather strange. I would think that their parents would want to attend also. This is actually a very serious decision. If the kids aren't totally dedicated or end up flunking their college classes it can affect their high school graduation. First she has to pass two tests to get in: college reading & writing. I don't think she will have any problem with either of those. Then she has a math test. If she doesn't pass that she can still go, but will have to take her math class at the high school. She can go to day, evening or online classes. She can take all of her classes at college or just part. It's neat that they set it up to be flexible. She can also change her mind at any time and go back to just high school. Basically she will be enrolled at both places. To be honest I think she will really love college and will end up going their full time. Wow, I never thought I would be having a daughter go to college at 16. But it will save us boatloads of money on college and it's a very good opportunity. Our local community college had 1,070 high school students from around the county last year. 60 of those students will be graduating from high school with an AA degree this June. She has always been pretty mature, but I guess I still worry. She's my sweetie pie, punkin head, honey bunny, rose bud baby!

Good descriptive on the KFC, I feel the same way.

Not a fan of BK either, I think part of it just too many toppings and slimy mayo on it. The fries are weird too.

I fell in love with Chickfila -- mmmmmm yum, they are ever so polite in the drive thru and we always get taken by suprise when they say " It's a lovely evening at Chickfila, my name is.. I am ready to serve you"

Oh I've never had chickfila. There is many choices in the way of fast food here which is fine by me. We usually get chinese food if I don't feel like cooking but I dh didn't want chinese tonight. Do they sell chicken burgers at chickfila?

 

[funnygarcia]

Sounds very exciting and I can see you are very proud of her They have a similar program here, but I believe it is not quite as flexible.

I know Justin can take high school courses online for free, something he might do over the summer. I would really like him to get 3 years of Spanish and I know he wants to continue in ROTC. There is only so much room in the schedule to get all his credits done. He was looking into taking an Honors or AP course-- I'm all do it, do it!!! Free college credit dude!

He's been asking which college he should go to, told him it was up to him... he could go back to MN and stay with his Aunt and Uncle .. or take the community college transfer to UCRiverside route.. or do a tech school if he wants. He got all thoughtful on me and has been pondering his choices.

That's crazy. I had never heard of this, I wonder if they don't have it Canada. I think it's super.

Chickfila is limited to just California and parts of some other southwestern states.
Breaded chicken but it's not greasy at all, they also have a very good grilled chicken breast and you can sub fruit for fries.. all very yummy, clean restaurant and polite service keep us coming back.

 

[XTinabell]

Well ladies I gotta run, but I love our new home and I'll catch up with you all later I'm sure.
