Evening all!!! Long slow day at work :(

Kristy that was a pretty good ketchup there... I am curious, what are Bojangles? I don't think I've heard of them :)

Tina, kick them off the computer ;) And good luck with that tilt test... I knew someone who had to have it... although it didn't show much for them. I hope it can bring helpful results to you :)

Rose Mary, you still want that wine? I'd be glad to share :teeth:

Sherry, that is really cool that is how you started with the babysitting! I think that is great that your friends would trust you like that :) Of course I know I would!

That's it Bethie!! We are going to order some of those ice cubes for ourselves!!! Imagine the fun we'd have with them all... okay it's pathetic sounding but still fun :teeth:

Hiya Jeannie!!! I think we need to petition to get you a bigger box for your PMs :p

Lily, sounds like a great plan there... I hope that you do well on it!! I doubt I could ever give up my carbs though, but according to my doc, I have no trouble digesting sugars... just other things are weighing me down :o

LOL, Nancy!!!! We *will* eat at DL... we'll just walk it all off ;) And nope, no answer on it yet :(

Oh and I skimmed all that... very cute but can't relate to many of them... call me midwesterner through and through!
 
Pam slides into her seat beside Beth and patiently awaits her turn to address the other members at the Carb-a-holic Meeting.:o Love, love, love those carbs!!

Jeannie is a messy housekeeper.......:teeth:
 
Hi Pam!!! Excuse me as I slide on in for the meeting as well! Actually I plan to go make dinner first... won't even share what that should be ;)
 
Ack! Almost on page 2 again!

Still have a headache.
Still waiting for DH to get home.

So here is another to share......now someone get talking and keep us bumped up ;)

GIRLFRIENDS

I sat on the porch overlooking a beautiful mountain lake on a summer day, enjoying a glass of wine with my Mum. Older than me, mother of four, experienced and wise.
"Get yourself some girlfriends," she advised, swirling the wine in her glass. "You are going to need girlfriends. Go places with them, do things with them."

What a funny piece of advice, I thought. Hadn't I just gotten married?
Hadn't I just joined the couple-world? I was a married woman, for goodness sake, not a young girl who needed girlfriends. Nevertheless, I listened to my Mom and I got back in touch with my old girlfriends of years long gone.

As the years tumbled by, one after another, gradually I came to understand that Mom knew what she was talking about. Here is what I know about them:

Girlfriends bring casseroles and scrub your bathroom when you are sick.
Girlfriends keep your secrets.
Girlfriends give advice when you ask for it. Sometimes you take it, sometimes you don't.
Girlfriends don't always tell you that you're right, but they're usually honest.
Girlfriends still love you, even when they don't agree with your choices.
Girlfriends might send you a birthday card, but they might not. It does not matter in the least.
Girlfriends laugh with you, and you don't need canned jokes to start the laughter.
Girlfriends pull you out of jams.
Girlfriends don't keep a calendar that lets them know who hosted the other last.
Girlfriends are there for you, in an instant and truly, when the hard times come.
Girlfriends listen when you lose a job or a man
Girlfriends listen when others break your heart.
Girlfriends listen when your parent's minds and bodies fail.

My girlfriends bless my life!

Once we were young, with no idea of the incredible joys or the incredible sorrows that lay ahead. Nor
did we know how much we would need each other.
 
Thanks for all luck:D I can use it. Tired of being cooped up in house.

Nancy:rotfl: some of those made me think of Alaska.

Beth I am like you I would never survive on Adkins..I have to have my carbs.
 
You guys sneated!! ;)

I LOVE carbs!!

Here ya go Elaine....is it acurrate?

Rules For Tourists Traveling To The Midwest
Humor Home

Because of misunderstandings that frequently develop when Easterners and Westerners cross states such as Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota; those states' Tourism Councils have adopted a set of information guidelines.

In an effort to help outsiders understand the Midwest, the following list will be handed to each out-of-state driver entering the area:

1. That farm boy standing next to the feed bin did more work before breakfast than you do all week at the gym.

2. It's called a 'rock road' or a 'gravel road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Navigator. I have a four wheel drive because I need it. Drive it or get it out of the way.

3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old. Yeah, we saw Bambi. We got over it.

4. Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get you whipped... by our women.

5. Go ahead and bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us if a flathead catfish breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for those little trout you fish for...bait.

6. Pull your pants up and turn your cap around. You look like an idiot.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

8. That's right. Whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what you paid in the airport for one drink.

9. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey.

10. If you bring Coke into my house, it had better be brown, wet, and served over ice.

11. So you have a sixty-thousand dollar car you drive on weekends. We're real impressed. We have $250,000 combines that we use two weeks a year.

12. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

13. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks--because they want to. So, you're a feminist? Isn't that cute.

14. Yeah, we eat catfish. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the bait shop.

15. They are pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like it? Interstates 70, 80, 90, and 94 go two ways - Interstates 29, 35, 39, and 65 go the other two. Pick one and use it accordingly.

16. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer or pheasant season, both religious holidays. You can get breakfast at the church.

17. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Understand the concept?

18. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazard. It spooks the fish.

19. That Highway Patrol Officer or State Trooper that just pulled you over for driving like an idiot...his name is "Sir"...no matter how old he is.

Now, enjoy your visit.
 
Pam-Scoot your rear end down so I can join the Carb-o-holic meeting! I'm sorry but, I can not give up my carbs, sugar or caffeine. I for sure would be even crazier :crazy: and meaner (DS asked me why I was so mean :rolleyes: ) than ever!

Hey gang :wave2: Look at me I'm Dis'*** from home. Better not get too comfy. DH & DS will be home from the scout meeting soon. Plus I feel really crummy but, I had to pop in and Guess What? I saw a pic of Lily and Liz and her puppers and Kristy's new siggie pic. I love them all. Gotta go see what other pics I've been missin'...........................
 
Looks like we have a great Carb-o-holic group started here :teeth:

Nancy, I love both the Girlfriends and the Midwest post of yours!! Both are very very true :teeth:

Yay, Rose Mary is DISing from home!!! Very cool!!! Now be sure to perfect the stiff arm to keep the guys away from the computer while you are on it ;)
 
and all heck breakd loose in here with all these mothy people!!

There is NO WAY I am playing ketchup with all of that!!!! So here is my news.....my ankle sucks!! No other words....I have a feeling I may be seeing that artificial ankle before the next 10 years. I have another apointment with cute doc in 6 weeks. After 3 very vigorous weeks of phsyical therapy and one very vigorous trip to Disney!! At that point he will be able to better tell where I am at. Good news...no more ugly boot!!! I will however wear it on the plane just in case I need it for Disney....besides preboarding is a wonderful thing, especially on non reserved seat South West flights. I do not HATE to fly, but sometimes my motion sickness gets the best of me and I just HAVE to be the first one off the plane. So that being said....the boot can be a good thing!!!

Todd, thank you so much for my Survivor fix!! I got the video today and watched it as soon as I got home form the doctor's office!! I will be sending it back to you in the morning! OMG!!! What an episode!! I am so sad for Rudy. Poor guy.....I wanted to cry!!! I would have had to say so long Ethan!! JMHO!!! OH TODD.....GET BUSY ON PLANNING THAT CHICAGO TRIP!!!!!!! THE BALL APPEARS TO BE IN YOUR COURT!!!!!!

Beth, all I can say is too cute and thanks!! I can't wiat for the Chicago meet!! Depending on who (Yes Elaine, Todd and Believe that means you....) I am more than willing to be patient and plan around your scedule even 2 days before!! Not a problem!! I can be very flexible!!

Lainey, if you are staying at the Four Seasons...I am staying with you!!! Do you have any idea just how far I live from Chicago? Did I tell you I am a GREAT tour guide!!! i love the city and the Four Seasons...OMG!!!

(OK it is only 40 minutes, but maybe she won't remember that!!)

Nancy, how was your hubby's CT scan? Hope tehy find out the problem quickley....and how is that headache of yours? I loved all your little you know you are in the .........insert region here thingies!!! Too true for the midwest one!!

Rose Mary....now I will NEVER know when it is the weekend with you DISing at home and all!! Although, you did give me a scare on a few occasions when I thought the weekend had passed me by!! Glad to see you "after hours"!!

Tina, I understand the cooped up thing! I am feeling much the same way!! Hope your tests go well. And good luck with the cute docs!! Gotta love em, and it is always nice to have something to look forward to!!

Pammylicous.....make room for me on that bench as I am falling waaaayyyyy of the Atkins wagon. The crab alfredo pasta I had today for lunch was absolutely divine!!!!! As was the Krispy Kream donut and the conversation hearts and ...oh never mind.... if Greg saw this...I might as well be dead......getting of the carb bench and back on the wagon.......can you say carnivore!!! YUCK!!! Too much protien makes Liz a crabby gal!!! Not enough carbs makes Liz a crabby girl. Carbs make Liz fat, fat makes Liz crabby= Liz is NEVER happy!!! :eek:

Sherry, there is not enough money in the world to have me watch kids on a regular basis!! At least not Greg's niece....Princess Satan!!!! But I hope you have fun with them and enjoy them. I think I am better with watching the animals and men more so than the kids!!! (But Todd, my offer still stands to watch your little angels for the evening while you and Amanda have a nice romantic evening in Chicago!!! Bethie even said she would help!!! And I bet Elaine would play too!!!::yes:: )

Hey Beth, I could get some more ice cubes when I go to the world. Too funny that you had one of those in your purse...I had one in mine as well!! Small World!!

Lily, how is that training going? Glad to hear you are doing a modified Atkins...what are you eating....what are healthy carbs? Do tell, I really wanna know!!

Kristy, hey there girlie!! How goes it? I tohught of you today as I hit the mother load of free Clelbrex samples at the cute docs office!! Hope all is well in your world!!

Suzanne, are you packed yet? I NEED your fondue recipe!! That sounds so yummy!!!! Hurry up and get a job please...then you could hire me and Greg!! We promise to work very hard and to always be on time for work!!! And on our free time, I am sure you will see us happily at the parks!! Even back in the day, after work you could find us enjoying the parks!! I think we were weird CM's!! I still think we are weird...but that is a story for another day when there isn't so much blasted ketchup to do....and I thought I was not going to do a ketchup......so much for thinking!!

:wave2: CS

Deena, where are you? Why do you keep hiding form me!! I have NO ONE to find trouble with!!! Don't be a stranger for too long!!

Karen, how are you dear? Long time, no chat???

Jeannie, are you all done cleaning? You must be one popular girlie there!!! If you are tryng to kechup from the weekend..that is not so bad....but ketchingup today is a whole differant story!!

Tara, where have you been hiding? I still need the update on the cheese fries. Yes, again, I need to live vicariously through someone who can eat carbs....for two!!!! Hope all is well!!

Bella, we need news about that fella!! How are classes going for you? Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!!!

Alan, where have you been?

Dave, you have not been around either!! I thought you were our defender and protector from page 2?????

OK, I think that is everybody!! Or at least I hope so!!!

whew, I am pooped!!!!
 
Okay Liz, for one who isn't ketching up, you sure did a decent job of it :p

Sorry about your ankle though!! At least you get to see the cute doc again ;) :p

Chicago... well the one thing that will get in my way is a bridal shower! That is going to be a busy time of year for me, but I do want to go back! It will be just about a year at that point and I will have a taste for Gino's and I would love to see Lake Michigan again!!!!! Let me look to see what Starwood hotels are available and a little closer to the date, I can let you know where I stand! And yep I know about where you live... and I take 70 to 65 to 90/94 when I drive into Chicago. If I do though, I come early on a Friday so I can arrive by noonish CST and then I leave bright and early on a Sunday. Otherwise it is too rushed for me and I hate (emphasize HATE) traffic! So we shall see :)
 
Chicago traffic doesn't scare me.......










much!!!


Actually, I don't mind the traffic, but as you well know, it can be horrific!! And I would tell you that you could stay here, but Greg would have a cow.....you know those strange axe murderers staying at the house and all...and then what about all the valuables.....as if we had any....!!!!



:earseek:
 
Truthfully I have no problem driving into Chicago... really the worst part of the trip is the first 4-5 hours before I hit S. Chicago... very boring trip!!! I just avoid the really heavy times of day when I drive in there. I also usually take a detour and head down 55 to Lake Shore Drive so I can catch a glimpse of Lake Michigan and Navy Pier! If I do get a free hotel though, I think I'd rather fly in than drive :p
 
either one!! Doesn't much matter to me!!!

Let me know what you figure out!!! I know planning can be oh so fun, and yet oh so trying sometimes!!! You still have lots of time besides!!!!

I can't wait though...it would be so much fun to have a mini yaya meet with lots of yaya's to meet!!!!
 
Awww thanks Liz!!! I will certainly let you know!! And in case I forgot to make sure you definitely knew, you'd be welcome to share my room!!! I've flown in half and driven half and only once have I flown and stayed in a hotel (my friend Hannah lives in the area and I've stayed with her too). It's almos a wash with time it takes to travel so it usually comes down to me deciding if I want to put the 800 miles on my car in one weekend :p
