Who feels like a Thread-Killer? Part 2

[Cruisin]

Kim

I am around, but nobody else has been so I've been doing my puzzle and checking back occasionally in case somebody decided to show up tonight

I should be sleeping

How is everything today??

 

[MaMudduck]

Yeah, I'd better get to bed too....these late nights are getting to me...work all day & Dis all night.



I was waiting up to watch my count down roll over to 99 days......

2 digit dance

 

[Cruisin]

Those countdowns are still counting down aren't they, hooray!!!!!!!!!

Mine is at 175 now.

You have a few hours to wait MaMudduck, maybe you should get some sleep and get back up and then watch it turn over

 

[KimRaye]

I agree with you Robin, Wendy should get those 6 hours+ of sleep and wake up to the 2 digit dance!

BTW Robin, as the Queen of Late Nighters, I awoke at 8 AM, NOT 11AM like yourself, and I'll do the same again tomorrow. I was afraid I was corrupting others tho.

Get thyselves some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's! (Why don't we have a sleeping smilie? I have one in my email.)

Oh, and BTW, I did NOT make 50 lbs lost today. I stayed the same, and hope to make that 50 lb mark next weigh-in on Monday, before I leave on vacation! I thank you and appreciate all the good luck wishes here & via PM! I will carry it all into and through this week!

You really are a great bunch of friends!

 

[Cruisin]

Well Kim, I too was awake at 8am but I went back to sleep again

I need to get up earlier tomorrow (today!!) since I should go for groceries and also go to work at some point. I better set the alarm.

Well, that is too bad that you didn't make the 50 lbs that you wanted to make. But at least you stayed the same, that is much better than going up some!! I always tell myself that when I get on the scales....well at least I didn't gain any

You will get there, I know that you will.

Have a good tomorrow, today!!!!

Hollyann

Sending you and your husband lots of good vibes and pixie dust with a big ole hug thrown in for good luck !!

Hope all goes well for you later today. I will keep sending good thoughts your way until I hear from you.

I hope that you guys are out there power scrubbing that fence real soon

 

[Cruisin]

Brer_Papa, hope you had a good day!!

We missed you tonight

Thanks Robin! In the 6 months I've been doing WW, I have never gained! My worst weeks were those that I stayed the same, and this is only my 3rd time! As I get nearer to goal, the lbs will come off even slower than they do now. No matter, LOST is better than FOUND, in this case!

Ann, best wishes, {{HUGS}} and prayers for your DH and yourself tomorrow (today). Here's to pressure washing! And, getting people to VOTE has no party affiliation, imo! Good for you!

 

[Brer_Papa]

Good Afternoon all!

Yes, I went back to work yesterday....
not a bad day..the evening ran amok though....more on this later....

Hi Kim!

Well, Congratulations still! You will meet the goal...I am very sure of it....you are an admireable person and a great friend...

woohoo MaMudDuck.....99 days and counting! you'll be basking in the Disney Magic before you know it!


Hello HollyAnn....

(Can't you jsut see Harriet Nelson beaming with pride at her little boy?)
...I hope all went well....those Vampires better e sending your Doc some good reports or I'll chase them around with a steak....OOPS...stake!

seriously...Best wishes.....did you have a good day today?


Ahoy Cruisin' !

SLEEPYHEAD!! 11 AM?!?!?

My goodness...by 11 AM I've got the snobs at the watercooler ready to stuff me into the water bottle...of course...i don't know why they want to do that...

you still doing that puzzle? ...must be a humdinger....

well...to those that asked....I have a HUGE family....huge! So...they have to invite me for the free food and stuff....besides...if they didn't invite me...i'd just show up anyway....

the real mystery is why would someone...as in Jimmy for example....not related...invite me....

something I've pondered over and over....

hmmmm...still pondering.....

well...if you figure it out...let me know!

 

[montessori]

everyone!!

AAAAW! What a nice sentiment! I wish you posted this BEFORE my evening ran amok....maybe I would have stayed
home....and not be in the doghouse now....supperless....

you see....

yesterday, I get home from work....we have supper...then the "what do you wanna do" Versus the "I don't care...what do yo wanna do?"

well, my big mouth left me wide open to a "Really? Let's go to BINGO!"

I went one too many "I don't care...what do you wanna do?" 's too many.....

anyway....off to the BINGO hall we go...all the way across town...out in he East County....a Church Bingo...

well...we get our packets...Princess Ariel tells me I need to play 4..and we go find a seat....

so...she gives me a dauber...bright flourescent orange....

and I start Daubing my free spaces....well...this dauber was pretty "juicy"...and i was getting flourescent orange shrapnels allover the place....me included...

the DW gives me a look....and starts shakking her head from side to side...

so, I says "what?" she shakes her head some more....

well anyway...I'm just abut done daubing ALL 4 packets of the free spaces...when this lady sits across the table from me...

"Hi, I'm Lotty...you must be new here" says she...

"well...i am" i reply....

so she says..."And you're a cutie too, aren't you?

"well...I am"...i reply...

apparently, Lotty never had someone agree with her 2 times n a row.....so she sits there...glaring at me...well...what I thought was a glare...

I learned what her glare really looked like soon enough...

I was done daubing..and there wasn't much to do..so...i started juggling bingo daubers...then I got daring...and removed the caps...

well...I was doing real good...when one of the daubers hit me in the palm of my hand...juicy end first...

so...i dropped that one...and the 2 I had in the air came crashing down....

and one of them sent Lotty's good luck troll dolls flying in every direction....

I now know what her glare is.....

well...finally...the games start....I'm daubing like a madman....and guess what?

they called like 12 numbers...and no "B"'s....I needed B-4 for the single bingo!

well...they called B-4!!

I yelled B-I-N-G-O!....

me and 14 other people....

the prize was 100 bucks....but the attendant only gave me 7....

so I politely ask where is the other 93 bucks?

Princess Ariel kicks me....so i says "what??"

"just tip her" she says...

so i says "WHAT!?!?!"

and give her 2 bucks...

well...before too long...it was intermission...that's when it all went bad....

to be continued....

 

[Brer_Papa]

well...during intermision....I treid wiping all the bingo juice off me...i had it splattered up past my elbows....on my shirt...flecks on my face....

all it did was smear...so...i go back to my seat....

all of a sudden...this young fellow comes up...dressed in a tee-shirt and jeans...and says "how are you folkks doing?"

so i says..."I got gypped out of 93 bucks....these games must be rigged...because every time i need one number...they call every number but the one i need...and the one time they do call my number...14 other people needed the same number...

plus...when theyplayed the "quickie" game...somebody bingoed on the 66th number..and I still needed 8 numbers...

AND..i got bingo juice from stem to stern...all over me..."

well...he makes a quick exit....and Lotty hisses at me...

"That was the priessssssssssst"

so I says..."well...if he doesn't like the answer..he shouldn't have asked the question...."

so...the second half starts....all of a sudden...i feel water droplets hitting me in the back..

I whispers to DW

"s o m e b o d y.........h a s.....a ....s q u i r t....g u n"

she tells me to "hush my bubba's"...

so...I whisper to her..

"I.....t h i n k...t h e.,,...p r i e s t ......i s......s p r i n k l i n g...... m e....w i t h.........H o l y ..........W a t e r...!"

she snorts..and says.."like that's the first time that's happened to you..."

OUCH...touche! Good answer...

so..i start to whisper again...she turns..and tells me..."SSSSSHHHH!"

so....i shushed myself....

well...i can only keep my bubba's hushed so long....so...

on a double bingo game...i see DW has a single bingo...needs only one number...so...

I whisper to her..
"B a t h r o o m"

I stand...turn my back to her..squeak out "BINGO" in a high pitched voice....
point at DW...and run for the men's room before the attendants can reach the table to check her card....

I should have stayed there...

she was bright red when I got back....

my giggling didn't help either..

anyway....she isn't talking to me...her lips are zipped....

every time she looks at me and I say "what??"...she shakes her head from side to side...and gets all red....

i supppose I'll make us supper....

btw...at the end of the night...we went outside to go to the car...i put my arms out to let the bingo juice dry....

poor Lotty was in front of me....she must have thought i was a dreamsicle colored Frankenstein....

one look at me and she ran screaming into the night....

so....after a long hot shower...with many a scrub-a-dub-dubbins to get rid of the bingo juice....I am back to normal...

in the doghouse...supperless....

 

[Brer_Papa]

Hi Montessori!

I hope all is well with you...

 

[Cruisin]

Well, I don't know what to say to THAT story Brer_Papa. There are just too many spots where you left perfect targets that I wouldn't know where to start

How does Princess Ariel put up with you

Maybe Lotty had her eye on you since you are such a "cutie"

I bet you will have an answer next time the "what to do" question comes up

 

[Cruisin]

I love your Hello! montessori. Hope you had a good day.

Hollyann, where are you???? I hope that everything went well and all is okay with your husband

to anybody and everybody else who stops into the thread-killers thread today!!!

 

[Hollyann]

Hello thread killers!

Just wanted to let you know that DH is home from his biopsy. It went without a hitch. We should get the pathology reports anytime from 48 hours to a week. We'll certainly keep you posted.

The procedure was a bit tricky. He has this mass that's surrounded by his spinal cord, his aorta & his kidney, so they did a needle biopsy, using a CT Scan for guidance. Because it was basically touching his aorta, he was a bleeding risk.

He is feeling fine....a little tired, but that's to be expected. Tomorrow, he can't drive or do any heavy lifting, but he'll be back up to speed the day after that!

Thank you for all your good wishes - ya'll are just wonderful! BrerPapa, I LOVED your Bingo story. I love to play bingo and you can juggle daubers any time with me - I'll just wear junk clothes - I don't mind a little color!

Take care ya'll. I'm gonna go smoochie-doo on my hubby!

 

[Cruisin]

Ann, I am glad that all went well with your husband and I hope you get good results from the tests in a few days

 

[MaMudduck]

Glad to hear all is well HollyAnn!

"smoochie-doo" away!

 

[Brer_Papa]

Hello HollyAnn! ( can't you just see David Nelson wishing he could sing so well?)

well...that's great news about your DH! ( OH Happy Dance! ...OH Happy Dance!)



give him a smoo....WHOOPS!...give him a handshake and a pat on the back from me...please & thank you!

Evenin' MaMudDuck!

how are things in your neck-o-the-woods?

Ahoy Cruisin'!

a question please...and I am not being sour-castic...

what do you folks in Canada play in comparison to our B-I-N-G-O?

with the exchange rate usually hovering around 20%.....I figure you guys play B-I-N-G....

but...i could be wrong.... :innocent look:

edited to try :angel with halo: smiley

 

[Cruisin]

How is everyone tonight?



Well Brer_Papa I just checked and the exchange rate is actually 1.31 so a little higher than you thought but it doesn't really matter cause Bingo is played here in Canadian dollars, not American dollars (hmm, the exchange rate is pretty good right now, maybe I should transfer some money into my US $ account!)


I am not a frequenter of the Bingo halls. I have gone a few times, but I tend to do silly things to embarrass myself. Like calling Bingo, before the number is officially called

I also am not talented enough to daub out the numbers called AND keep track of whether I am close to getting any Bingo's

And I can only play a very few cards at a time because of my daubing, keeping track of bingos disability

The one time I went I did win $43.00 , not much I know, but was exciting to me!!!


I notice that the angel with halo smiley does not work when YOU try to use it! Wonder what that means, huh
