Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

I had a GREAT weekend, although I was a bad daughter. I fibbed to my brothers about being out of town, so I wouldn't have to go to the mother's day get together. I did send her flowers, and a card, and called her up though. I've been out of town so many weekends lately and was home last weekend and reallllllly needed to stay home and get some stuff done. I managed to gather up 10 HUGE bags of stuff that went to a charity this morning (they left a card on our door saying they would be in the area today.) and I got all my winter stuff put away and the summer stuff pulled out, and got my oldest son's room cleaned out (although I won't get rid of his bed just yet), and now the computer and the sewing machine is in his room instead of our nice dining room. Both of my boys did call me for mother's day, and today my youngest emptied the dishwasher, did all the laundry, and cleaned his room, and emptied his car out and did all that laundry (without asking!!!!)

Very well. I am going with bigger shrimp because too many went diving in the water bowl, but the fish came out very moist and very good. I can't wait for the next batch!

HuRrAy!!! Sorry about the shrimp diving into the jaccuzzi, but hey, shrimp gotta swim!!! There's a restaurant in St. Pete (Ted Peter's) that makes a smoked fish dip that's outta site!!! I think I'll see if I can find the recipe & if so, I'll be back and post it here.

John- Glad you're feeling somewhat better!!

Okay..this is alarming. Goes beyond being nice for Mother's Day. If it was my youngest it would mean either he needs MONEY...or he did something wrong...and I just haven't found out about it ...YET.

Thanka vera mush.

Graduated from AU in '86 but I don't really follow them much any more. I went through the difficult years when they were banned from everything and couldn't be nice. My brother is still die hard. Colonel in the AF - so his squadron likes any team he likes.

Heading to the fort in our new-to-us camper in August. Pray for my AC. We haven't tried it out in fried-egg heat yet. Won't be long before we can just pop it up in the backyard and test it out on Texas heat. ugh.

Sinkhole!!!! Excuse me! I live in a little fairytale land called Flower Mound. We ain't got no stinkin' sinkholes. We are perfect in every way (ok, except for the child-molester lady that lives across the street and is thankfully attempting to sell her jinxed house).

Ok, I'm done for now.

The sink hole is just north of Houston. I thank

And that's the way it should be!

The University of Florida Softball team has won the SEC this year, with a 27-1 record.

Ugh. Just got back from my 10yo's baseball game. They've played I think 10 or 12 games this season and won only once. Another letdown tonight but the guys did get some hits. Only one more game to go and it will most likely be rained out on Wednesday if the weather guessers are correct.

My little buddy is so discouraged.

I coached their pitching coach when she was in HS. She is a wonderful girl and I wish them the best of luck. Wow, I watched them play and all I can say is WOW.

By the way, Auburn is the #2 seed in the TAM regional. Just FYI.

Pete and I know your pain sister. My HS softball team has won 2 games in two seasons. This year we were 1-19. I don't know what Pete's final record was in little league. Tell him to chin up. It will be over soon and he can start all over again fresh.

 

[Gatordad]

we are 2-15, with one game to go. will probably be 2-17, once we lose our last game and rd one of the playoffs. I'd like to thank everyone for making this necessary.

the olympic team was in Lakeland this week, they took a bunch of kids from the league to visit them. Cat Osterman's uncle made it happen.

I've been there. All 3 of my kids play ball. We've been on good teams and bad ones. They do usually end up getting something from the season, even they do lose most of their games. The important thing is to keep it fun and not let them get too caught up in the numbers. Easier said than done, I know.

Could you please come and explain that to my HS parents? Please???

He still loves the game, just disappointed (mostly in himself). He's 10 and he only started last year. We'll have round one of playoffs on Monday as well.

Coach has always put him in the outfield, never played infield. He's really not that bad. We may change teams next season, but you never know what you'll get. He's a pretty patient kid.

Heading off to bed now. Lots to do tomorrow.

Hey, by the way... we want an add-a-room for our popup. Anyone know anything about them? Or should I just post on the regular forum?

Everyone's equal is why i love this board. I'm not rich, i live in a double wide, stay at home mom with 3 kids and i wouldn't change a thing. I had to start working at 13 to help out my family so i feel like my life is blessed. However i constantly feel beneath people in real life so coming here makes me feel like i fit in a little more.

I know we have moved pass this but I just seen this post and I must comment to this :

Whenever I read this I was brought to tears, this simple statement crushed my heart. You are not the only one in life that feels this way, but you truely are blessed.

We barely makes ends met these days, we live basically from paycheck to paycheck anymore, but I can honestly say my dh works harder than anyone I have ever met, it's just he drives a concrete truck and what use to be a great job has faded thru the years and now he feels he's to old after 24 years with the same company to do anything else. To add to matters I feel I cannot work because I have a disabled dd and she is so much more important than any amount of money to us. So my point to all this is just to say your boat is different than mine but we are all in the same water.

You being on this board has made it a better place to be. Alot of your post have made me feel good and I can tell your a wonderful person !
