Who feels like a Thread-Killer? Part 2

[Brer_Papa]

Hello HollyAnn!
(I bet Hrriet Nelson could have taken Donna Reed in arm-wrasslin'...what do you think?)

Wow...I needed a nap just reading your agenda-o-the-day...

I did laundry too....well...only 2 loads...but...as I've said before...it's the thought that counts...

A Christmas movie? A Classic?
You went through ALL the Cutesy-wootsie movies? From A to Z? {shudder}

Well..I'll check back later to see if you checked back later and in case you don't check back later I'll check back later to see if you didn't....

Ahoy Cruisin' !

SO! 25 years eh? C-O-N--G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S!!



You'll have to let us know the closer it gets so we can heap praise and adulations on you and your Mister...

I see you did the paycheques....and I know you spell some things differently in Canada...BUT....I am wondering....

what is the singular of paycheques...

paychequ

paycheq

it's a conundrum....

anyway....caused a bit of a stir today...

I went to work early....had a few things I wanted to get done...and I did...

and after I got things done...i got bored...so I looked around for something to do...

I had an impromptu game of pick-up-sticks (they fell out of my pocket)

After that, I looked around for something to juggle....so i took some dixie cups from the dispenser by the water cooler...

that went well....

then I filled some up with water and tried to see how many I could balance on my head....

that didn't go well...

i got bored after I got dry....and then...

I spied a tube of super-glue...

so..i took the rest of the dixie cups out of the dispenser and glued them all together...

that was plan A

so...then...I got Plan B ready....

by the time Plan B was all set...people started showing up...and sure enough...

the water cooler snobs started to head over to their every morning water-klatch...

first one there...Mary...went to yank a dixie cup from the dispenser...and she had the whole kit and cabokoodle of them...

they all flocked around like it was the beginning of the end of the world....

it took them almost 10 minutes to figure it out...

then they huddled...and as one....looked over in my direction ....

I looked innocent....

then Plan B went into effect....

one of the nabobs went into the cupboard and got the only sleeve of dixie cups left...put them in the dispenser...and one by one..they each happily yanked a cup out...

lined up...and started filling their cups....gleefully yakking away..

it took a couple minutes....but finally..someone noticed their hand was wet...and aaaaw...someones foot got dripped on...

OH MY! all the cups had holes in them!

AAAW!

no one took the time to compare the pointy end of a pick-up-stick with the holes...

you see, someone took a gander in my direction...and saw a tube of super-glue and some needles on Lisa's (my assistant) desk....

of course...she sputtered her innocence...and then got quite indignant....she told me later she was ready to bop 3 or 4 of them...

now here's the funny part..

these yay-hoos were too scared to try the water cooler...so they decided to hit the coffee maker...ONLY...they took a flashlight...

they held the styrafoam cup and shined the flashlight into the cup to check for holes...GLARING AT LISA WHILE THEY DID!

aaaah....i got away with this one....

good day....good day....


PSSSST! Hey Lurkers...on the count of 3....you all race to post...and we'll play this like when we were kids...

Ready?

The singular of paycheques would be paycheque, Mr. Smarty Pants, Papa!!!!!!

And besides it doesn't really matter how you spell the word, as long as the cheque does not bounce

Brer_Papa, you are such a card!!!! I am surprised that any one could get ANY work done with you around It must be a lot of fun trying though

Robin, you're spooky. I'm beginning to think you're like Dan Murphy, who retains EVERYTHING he learns; names, dates, etc. How else can you remember BDs being the same as your anniversary?!?!

And Mr. BP, unless you wear only ONE pant leg, I suggest (and request) that you keep your smarty pants on!!!! (Let's not dicuss those skirts you wear right now, either)

Reminds me of the adorable smarty pants clipart that the riddler thread had. I think OldKicker designed it. They were just sooo cutesie-wootsie, and moved across the screen.

Kim, I think you are right about that!!!


How do I remember the things that I do Well ......... it's elementary, my dear Kim I use a pen and a calendar and write things down .

I certainly would never profess to be on the same level as Dan

 

[mamajoan]

BP...I bet the teachers at your elementary school classified you as incorrigible... you get into trouble when you are bored! LOL

as my mother would say "KEEP YOUR PANTS ON!" SMARTY or OTHERWISE!!!! LOL

BTW the nuns at my elementary school told my parents I was
"LOQUACIOUS"

so tk'rs what did your elementary teachers have to say about you??

I love Cary Grant movies!! Father Goose and Houseboat are my favorites.

Very bright, and VERY Social! (Among other things)

 

[mamajoan]

LOL... kim did the teachers say things like..."Kim talks to her neighbors"??
The nuns were always saying I talk toooo much....
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?????


Big news for the day:

Our very sweet young couple neighbors decided to put their house on the market... they put the sign up on Friday Night...
6yr old ranch home 1760 sq. ft... no really big upgrades but the house is in excellent condition on a 7000 sq ft lot ( large for Ca.)
anyway... they accepted a bid on SUNDAY ... for $520,000 this was $1000 over their asking price!!! The house was built for $200,000.

My kids are never going to be able to afford a home here...hec I can't afford to buy my own house now.......

 

[Brer_Papa]

Elementary school....the Sisters of St.Joseph...

well...I heard....


WILLIAM!!!!!

...a lot....

and these....

"You're too smart for your own good...."

"Quit that"

"Stop that"

"Go see the Principal"...

"I;m going to pin this note to your coat....you can't come back to school until BOTH your parents sign it"....

"Assume the position"

"You will write on the blackboard 500 times..."

"Go stand in the corner..."

"William got the highest grade on the test"....

"Our Father..Who Art in Heaven..."

"If I have to tell you one more time..."

and my favorite..

"uhmmm...William...how many younger Brothers & Sisters do you have?"

Hey MamaJoan...hello...

that's not the first time I got "incorrigible" hurled at me...



probbly not the last either...

 

[Cruisin]

I don't even remember what my teacher's said about me in elementary school. I could look up my old report cards and see what comments are on them!!!

I think that I was pretty quiet, shy and unassuming. I never really caused any trouble and just sort of blended into the background. At least that is the way I remember it

Although I do remember being made to stand in the corner in 3rd grade for whistling in school


Everybody have a good day today ???

Yeah, sorta like that. Every quarter it would change from "Distracts others" to "Is easily distracted by others".....I had chatty friends, too!

And, what does this tell you..............I have been told already during Pre-K 4 and then again in Kindergarten, that Kelly has a "talkative" nature as well. Go figure. Even my normally quiet DS Matt, always had comments from teachers about his chattiness! I used to ask him, "What on earth are you talking about? You never talk!" His reply, "video games and movies".

Robin, I viewed a few corners in my day, too! LOL, starting in 1st grade!

everyone! Hope you all had a lovely Friday!

It was MY KINDA Weather here today!

And Joan, I do hope you'll treat the visiting Cubbies well this weekend...beginning TONIGHT!

Joan, Joanie, Mama..........I am soooooooooooo sad. What happened?!?!?!

 

[mamajoan]

Cubbies 2- SF Giants 6.....

Jake's buddies had tickets to the game tonight. They took the train up to Pac Bell Park. Sorry the Giants could not help out the Cubbies get closer to 1st place in the division...... Maybe tomorrow some of the Cubbies will hit a few dingers into MCCovey Cove!!

Big News today...
The young man who was in the bad motorcycle accident, Robert-18y/0, came home from Rehab today. The prognosis for the paralyzed Left arm is not good. But the rest of him is healing up fairly well.
His family is glad to have him home again....

And
We are watching Peanut, the Jack Russell terrier, for a week.
OMG.. this dog is a GAS BAG!!! I swear you could play her like a bagpipe!!!! GEEZ!!!
She does better after a day or two on our dogs IAMS....
She is a funny dog tho, she puts herself to bed in the crate and closes the door by herself! silly dog.. my Scotties just look at her like.. "dang girl we've got comfy couches.. what is up with that crate dealy-O ??" I have hip Scotties... LOL

So Robin you were a quiet child in school.. wow... my parents would have LOVED to hear that every once in a while! LOL
Similar to Kim, I also got the "disturbs her neighbors" and "very, social" comments from the nuns,
I spent LOTS of time writing things like.. I will not talk during class. One guy teacher had a write huge words over and over.. like one time I had to write ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTANTARISM 500 times for talking in class... he was a wierd teacher. Out of 8 teachers I had at Catholic grade school-3 were COMMITTED to the Nutty Bin. No kidding. We kept telling our parents that there was SOMETHING WRONG with the 2 nuns and the lay teacher... and we were correct!.

Dear, I didn't ask for a MIRACLE, they won't get Division, but they were leading the Wild Card race last I checked. You could at least LOSE so we retain our lead, thank you very much!

Good (?) news about Robert?? If you're happy, I'm happy. Prayers for his continued recovery.

So, 2/3 were CATHOLIC, and committed? The 3rd, a lay teacher, had to work with those other 2, and also committed? Sometimes I guess I'm thankful for the Chicago Public School system.
Not that MY kids ever attended one! I did tho, and I turned out KO. (bwahahahahaha!)

 

[mamajoan]

The lay teacher was also Catholic... he taught 4th grade and he was WEIRD!!!! He would not let us call his beat up crappy car.. a car.. we had to call it his UNIT...He only taught at the school for a year or maybe two... Til this day he is still a verrrrry odd duck.

during my ENTIRE grade school career I swear I only threw one spitwad.. and wouldn't you know I got caught. The teacher made me make a bag of spit wads... 1000 of them to be correct and write 500 times I will not throw spitwads in school.
I am not complaining about the punishment.. it was appropriate.. it's just that it seemed certain people never got caught ...silly isn't it! LOL

Hey there threadkillers! I haven't posted for a couple of days - I'm subscribed to this thread and hadn't received any e-mail that anyone posted! I came on to check up on ya'll and see if I finally killed this thread! How weird!

Mammajoan, the dog sounds hysterical. We have a little poochie at home. Her name is Holly - she rules our lives. Right now she has a bit of a cold (it's bath day - she could be faking it!) so I gave her some baby Benedryl. She's currently sleeping at my feet. She's all of about 8-9 pounds so most of the time, she's on my lap.

It's a beautiful day here in FLORIDA! It's cool and cloudy. Unusual for August....we normally have sun and mid 90's with afternoon thunder. So, hubby is taking advantage of it and mowing the lawn. I think he wants me to help and seems disappointed that I'm not, so I'll make it up to him and vaccuum.

Well, ya'll take care and have a great day. After vacuuming, we'll probably take a nap, then we have church tonight and we always go out to dinner on Saturday night. This morning, after b'fast, we went to my dad's house and Tom did lawn stuff there! He's inspiried!

C-ya!

Everyone!!!

It is a bit chilly in the wind here today, but if you are in the sun in a sheltered spot boy is it warm!!! I was sitting "reading" a book (with my eyes closed ) and I think I might have gotten a sunburn!!

My husband is out playing at the flying field with his remote control airplane. My son is doing a St. John Ambulance volunteer thing at a tractor pull. My daughter is stilllllll ???? sleeping and I thought I would check in on the DISboards.

We are going out to dinner tonight at one of our favourite places. We are going with one couple for sure, an older couple about my parents age, who are airplane people. Their son and his wife might join us too. We went with the son and daughter in law on our last Disney Cruise.

I am NOT an airplane person
