POEM FOR WOMEN

He didn't like the casserole
And he didn't like my cake.
My biscuits were too hard...
Not like his mother used to make.

I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.

Then I turned around and smacked him...
Like his Mother used to do.



Sorry BP,..But youve got to admit its funny!.....

Check out this thread on a Commonly Confused Words Test. It's kinda cool.

Still catching up - but here's my score:

You scored 100% Beginner, 92% Intermediate, 86% Advanced, and 80% Expert!
You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!
Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

ZJO Threadkillers!

Ugh, I'm tired! I spent the day cleaning the house to get ready for Tuesday's Bunco. Since I STILL can't lift 5lbs - DH was a huge help! I went to the store and bought tray's - I'm not cookin' for this one!

Anyway, I'm gonna spend some time with DH and put some ice on my sore hooter!

Take care ya'll....

BTW, Ophie, the test was cool. BP the songs were cool and I'm looking forward to the duet with you & Cruisin. DalPal - I keep trying to get DH up in the attic to get my fall decorations down....no luck so far!

Take care and nighty-night!

Long day at home TW? You just crusing in Dec or going to the World too?

Doing a little of the world too!

Mom got an excellent deal for a night at AKL before the cruise (with a little help from me of course )

Since airfare prices have gone thru the roof we decided to drive down with Mom. Staying in SC the first night and stopping in Jacksonville the second day for a mini-dinner-meet with TN and Ann.

I'm gonna call AKL for early check in on the 23rd , either way I'll be having brunch at Boma's that day.

Christmas eve we sail, returning NYE. Mom got 3 nights at SOG for us. NYE we have tix for cirque de soleil. My Brittany and her best friend (my children for this trip) are hoping to do a concert at HOB on NYE by themselves. If not, they want to go to Disney Quest.

We have MGM planned for NYs Day. And travel home the day after that.

You gonna be around WDW during the holiday?

---bathrooms done and I have TWO pages to go back and read now. ---

I got that in an email the other day. I thought if I forwarded it, some people would think I was male-bashing. But I LOVED it just the same!

Robin! How ya doin'? I was playing around with my siggie (that sounds as bad as Googling ), but it seems I got it ok.

 

[KimRaye]

it seems I got it ok.

Thanks ophie!!

 

[Cruisin]

I'm doing tired right now Kim

How about you.

Your signature looks good.

 

[ophie]

Thanks ophie!!

No problem!!

 

[KimRaye]

How about you.

While I'm tired too, Matt isn't home yet, and he's going to get a call very soon! I think he just arrived.........I'll go check.

Other than that, I'm quietly being frustrated, annoyed, aggravated, etc. tonight. Guess why/who? No further comment from me.

Yes ophie, those are cute. Hope it's ok to use them. I'll know if a red X shows up that I better delete it.

 

[Cruisin]

I was waiting for Liz to come home too. Which she did and now she has gone to bed. Everyone is in bed except for me. I am going to fix that problem real soon

I hope your frustrating, annoying, aggravating problem goes away soon

I'm glad one of ours is home. Now get your rest too.

I hope your frustrating, annoying, aggravating problem goes away soon

problem is gone, just not permanently, for like the next 10+ years.

 

[Cruisin]

I hope Matt gets home real soon.

Then you can go and get some rest too.

Talk to you later

 

[KimRaye]

I hope Matt gets home real soon.

Turns out he was home about 11, but across the street talking with his friend/our neighbor, Julie (Kelly's babysitter). He 'thought' I saw him, since he saw me check twice. NO, I didn't see him, that's why I checked Twice, and finally called him.

I ended up joining the conversation, which then moved into our house (to see my measly Halloween decs - compared to their full lawn, lighted decs - I don't compete, I just enjoy their lights, from now thru Jan! ), and when we woke up Kelly, we knew it was time for beddie-bye.

Nitey nite, I think ----- I'm hungry now, and that is NOT good at this hour!
