1. Unless, of course, it's a pants optional hospital.


Now that's a scary thought!

Jenn, how is Euan doing? I thought I had sent him some :pixie: before but reading back through I couldn't find it so I figured more couldn't hurt.
Carol, I'm so glad you got your purse back :yay:

How was everyone’s weekend? Ours was pretty good. As a lot of you know we moved Hailey back in this weekend. Well, Saturday morning we were on our way to DDs house. We get on the highway in Brunswick and when we get to Yarmouth a guy in a black ford truck flies by us in the passing lane. Next thing we know he has run the guy in front of us into the breakdown lane, then swerves back into the passing lane. We watched his as he did things similar to this several times. He ran no less than 10 people off the road (thank goodness not far enough so anyone crashed) The guy was weaving in and out of traffic frantically, almost lost control a few times when he came in contact with the rumble strips on the side of the road. He sped up and slowed WAY down erratically. I was actually very frightened. I could envision a fiery crash killing innocent people and this guy walking away. Well, I called the state police by way of 911. Bruce told the dispatcher that he would stay with the guy until they got a visual on him if they wanted, which they did. I took the phone back and was talking to the dispatcher Bruce put the 4 way flashers on and we pull in behind him to follow at a safe distance. The guy slams on his brakes, forcing the 2 cars that were right behind him to swerve out into the other lane, all I can say is thank God that no one had been passing them at the time. He was actually acting like he thought he was the only person on the road. We followed him onto the turnpike and we honestly didn’t think he was going to stop at the toll booth. Fortunately at the last minute he decided that his brakes did in fact work. After the toll booth he sped up even more than he previously had. As we’re following I’m still on the phone with 911 giving her updated mile signs as we passed them. Bruce was concentrating on driving and trying to keep others from getting too close to him. Keith and I could only watch in horror as he rapidly crossed three lanes of traffic, narrowly missing cars in each, and the he crossed a triangle of asphalt where the on ramp meets the highway. When he reached the ramp he came within inches of hitting a car (with little children in the back, each of whom had a terrified look on their faces) Keith and I gasped. Now keep in mind that it was only 8:30 in the morning. Well, shortly after that we passed a silver crown victoria that was parked on the side of the road. It was a state trooper who had decided that he was in the right place at the right time and was waiting for us. The trooper pulled out behind him and lit up his blues but the guy just started going faster and weaved in and out of traffic. He eventually pulled over and the trooper motioned for us to pull over as well so we waited at our car while the officer took the driver out of his car and did a field sobriety test. After he cuffed the guy and put him in the car he asked us if we could write a statement, he said he didn’t need it because what he saw was way more than enough but it makes for a stronger case. So that was our excitement for the weekend. At least we got a drunk driver off the road. I can’t believe he was drunk before 9:30 am.

:whew: Hi guys! Took me quite awhile to catch up with you!! What a chatty bunch!!

We got in from NYC yesterday around 5pm... what a great trip!! I've got some pics to post (http://picasaweb.google.com/Blytheny/NYCTrip)so you can catch a glimpse of our fun -- there's even one of Ellen with us!! -- so enjoy!

We had so much fun -- Julia just LOVED the city and now wants to live there. ;) Wish we'd had more time -- it was awesome seeing Ellen, Ben and Bethany, but definitely not enough time with them, esp. Bethany, as the girls and I had to take off about a half hour after she arrived. :( But we got to ride the ferry with Ellen and Ben (he's a sweetie and you'd better hold tight to your slushies around him... he can polish one off in about 5 minutes flat, no ice-cream headache at all....) and had some time to chat there and on the subway... and then had a bit of quiet time at an awesome restaurant called Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company. (I'd never heard of it, but some of you who've got them where you live might've... totally cool place...) I had to get Dan a t'shirt there, and the desserts were awesome. So - now I'm trying really hard not to try to squeeze in another trip down there with Dan -- we just didn't have enough time! I really loved seeing the WTC memorials... that was really hard for me, as I'd gone to college across the river and had eaten at Windows on the World.... but it was amazing to walk through, and still hard to comprehend. :(

Anyway -- I could go on & on, but suffice to say it was awesome, we loved seeing our I'cot friends and the girls will be so surprised in December to see them again!! :thumbsup:


It's so quiet in here at night without Blythe and Jym ... I miss them both.

Thanks!! Now that I'm back, I'm sure you'll wish I'd :zipped:...



Baby here
Alex James Resciniti, born 9:17am, 3lbs 8oz, APGAR 9
He's in the NICU with an excellent prognosis.

CONGRATULATIONS Jym & Rachel... that is SO awesome!!! Bethany texted me yesterday while we were on our way home to let me know... I couldn't wait to get home and get all the details!! The pictures are AWESOME, he's gorgeous, and looks so healthy and vigorous!! Great weight and apgars... I'm so excited for you guys. I'm SO glad he's doing so well!!! :cloud9:


It was great but too short! Blythe is wonderful and it was great to get to talk with the girls. They're soooooo cute! It was good seeing Bethany as well (as always). We got caught in a deluge on the way home! It was crazy!
You're right... definitely too short!! Sorry to hear that deluge caught you... it started just as we headed for the PATH, and was really coming down when we got to our hotel. But -- that's when I got the rainbow shots, so maybe it was worth it on our end!


She's in good spirits and recovering well. Hopefully she'll be better by Thursday cause there are a lot of boxes to move.
Glad to hear Rachel's feeling good -- where are you moving to???


Two questions:
1) How come you don't have pants on under that gown?
2) When can I babysit?

Maybe he's got some Scots mixed in with that Italian blood??

December??


So, after four days in the hospital, the kitchen finally got Rachel's order correct!!
Wow... that's not bad!! :D

Jenn -- I hope your mom is doing better... sent some prayers and p'dust her way, and lots of it for Euan, too... poor little guy!! How's he doing???

Carol, I'm so glad they found your purse and that Disney was willing to re-do your MNSSHP tickets... do you have doubles now??

Sarah -- YEAH for the bonus!! That's awesome!! Hope you're feeling better today...

Okay, I KNOW I have to have missed some stuff, but I just can't remember anything else from the novel I read through... but know that I missed you all and hope you're all having a GREAT day!!

So - what am I supposed to do with myself now that I'm all caught up with all the doings around here???

1) So, after four days in the hospital, the kitchen finally got Rachel's order correct!!
WOO HOO!! It only took them four days??!! That must be some type of record!!

Who's doing crafts today? I think we're supposed to cut out paper baby clothes, aren't we?
I'm head of crafts today. We have lots of blue paper and baby stickers to make little baby Alex clothes. Get working everyone, we've got a lot of work to do.

We get on the highway in Brunswick and when we get to Yarmouth a guy in a black ford truck flies by us in the passing lane. Next thing we know he has run the guy in front of us into the breakdown lane, then swerves back into the passing lane.

Traci, that is VERY scary. We were actually behind some guys on the freeway one night and watched them slam into the barrier on the freeway. We stopped so I could ask if they were ok, well all these young guys get out and start running, so obviously the car is stolen. So Mike starts following them down the road and I call 911. The 911 operators were all into us following them and waiting for the police. Well did the police ever come? NO. We actually flagged a cop down and she acted like we were crazy. Oh well, so much for trying to be a good citizen. I'm glad they got your guy, sounds like he was going to hurt someone.

So what's for lunch? I'm sure Rachel is having something she didn't order, but what about everyone else? We have so many leftovers from Mike's birthday parties that I brought some stuff to graze on. I'm so glad this is a short week! Have a great day, talk to you later, I'm off to read Alex's trip reports. :hug:

Talk to you later.

I have an idea about the pic of pantless Jym.

When they told Rachel to put on this gown and leave off everything else, Jym thought they meant him :D

Is that posssible?

Blythe , good to have you back and I am so glad you got to have some fun tims with our NYC Ladies Auxilary. :D

Talk about effective change management! They should have been talking this up to people on the affected line for weeks now. :doh: Gosh, I would pay to see the fun and games tomorrow. ;) When do you leave for the Left Coast?


That's the oddest thing. They HAVE been talking this up along the route for the last week! They were handing out informational pamphlets in English and Spanish when you got on (and off!) the bus. Plus, there were MTA people at the bus shelters where the new pre-pay machines are ALL day yesterday. And still...people were confused and running around like crazy when the bus came. Especially at White Plains Rd...where the put the new bus stop across the street; about a block away from the other stop.

Edison made a good point...why didn't they put an extra machine on the bus? And also, why did they still use the same bus route name when the bus is so different? I want to know why there are no less than NINE security cameras on the new bus...the driver was announcing it yesterday. :confused:

I leave for Seattle on Wednesday. Should be an interesting trip.

:pixie: for all who need it.

Blythe! I was posting while you were so I saw your post after my last one.

Those photos are great! I especially like the rainbow ones...I don't think I've seen a rainbow here before.

Seeing you and the girls was great, but definitely waayyyyyyy too short! Stupid train...:mad:

Were you staying near the Pavonia/Newport stop on the PATH? It looks like the area where we went one time to eat at Arby's at the mall there.

Wasn't that rainbow cool? Totally caught us by surprise, luckily I had my camera at the ready! :blush:

I'll be glad we'll have more time in December!

We were staying in Jersey City at Exchange Place.... pretty much a direct route from right next to our hotel over to the WTC. An awesome spot... hopefully we'll be able to swing another stay there someday!! :cloud9:

So -- what's everyone doing today? I'm thinking the girls and I will go to the park or maybe out to the lake... not sure yet.

Traci! That's a crazy story! I'm glad nobody got hurt or crashed.



So this morning the doorbell rings, I grab a blanket to wrap myself up in(I'm still in my pjs) and head down the stairs to answer the door. I ended up falling down the stairs, only to have to move my car. So I head back up the stairs to get dressed and off to move my car. By the time I get back to the house, my hip is killing me. I swear I have a giantic bruise on my bum.



My bum is turning a pretty shade of purple!!!


When I was at Bubba Gump's with Blythe, Ellen, and the kids, I saw this (http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2117436920100449647FEoHdn)on the table. I thought of you. :D


On the topic of my JQU job:


I agree that you would make a great scholar, the way you spouted off that info about the city :dizzy: maybe you should even be class valedictorian.




You don't want to be a teacher here?


How about director of transportation and travel? :train::sail:

I couldn't find the airplane similie! Did it go out of business too? Blame it one the gas prices.

Can you tell I have the day off? :D

I think your clients need to know about your "other" position...ie. Head Possumator...:D

Afternoon all, I haven't looked at the baby or trip pics but the pantless thing is a little bit scary sounding.

Is there some coffee about somewhere? Hope your all having a good day. Jenn is the holiday thing not bizzare this year? It's half Monday around here and half Tuesday as well. Plus of course with the proximity to the US it's another half friday!

Traci, wow glad to hear that you got this guy off the road before he hurt someone. :thumbsup:

Blythe, very cool pictures of NYC. I've been once only for work, so didn't get to wander around. I'd love to go back and be a tourist.

Not much happening on my end. Just chillin' today, a somewhat nice day outside, but a little chilly for me.

What did everyone have for lunch? I ate Taco Bell. :D

Afternoon!! How's everyone today? I just got back from a walk at lunch. Sure is hot outside, but I'm trying to build up my stamina for Disney in September. It's always too hot and too much walking! I get in good practice here in the summer. I ate a small lunch since I'm taking Mike out to the Outback for dinner tonight for his birthday.

Have you all read Alex's trip reports yet? They are great, it sounds like so far he had a wonderful "magical" trip.

Have a nice afternoon, talk to you all later :hug:

How did I miss the plane? I saw the shark, which looks like a plane.

To add anything to my signature I'm going to have to redo the whole thing. I'm at the maximum number of characters.

I was just at Target yesterday, and I did not see those cookies. And I was in the snacks area, looking for snacks for the plane. I got upset because I had a list of a few different kinds of snacks to take, but they were out of ALL of them :mad:. Now I have to go to the supermarket and hope they have some food in stock. You'd think, right? But my local "supermarket", if you can call it that, has been out of eggs, milk, bread, etc before.

We have a few police depts in the area like that, they think if they don't respond it will go away :shake:

Nope, that would be on his boxers ;)
Actually, his badge had an S for Sagadahoc

Too funny!! I like the job you chose! Perfect!

:secret: I thought his "other" position was like the secret service or something, if everyone knew he was head possumator they'd all want him.

Welcome back Blythe. I loved the pictures, it looked like you guys had a great time.
Congrats on the bonus Sarah! I think I said that already but it can't hurt again right?

I'm sure I missed something else over the weekend.....maybe I'll figure it out.

Anybody have any ice cream?

Alex James Resciniti, born 9:17am, 3lbs 8oz, APGAR 9
He's in the NICU with an excellent prognosis.

Congrats both Jym & Rachel! He is adorable!



Okay, does anyone else ever have a problem with a co-worker? But on another note, I sent in another resume. Hopefully I can get out of this situation ASAP.

I totally understand what you are going through, I work directly with a Jekyll & Hyde, Best of luck with the job search. :pixie:





How was everyone’s weekend? At least we got a drunk driver off the road. I can’t believe he was drunk before 9:30 am.
That is such a scary story Traci! I am glad that you guys were able to get this guy off the road before someone was seriously hurt! Kudos to u and Bruce:)



We got in from NYC yesterday around 5pm... what a great trip! I really loved seeing the WTC memorials... that was really hard for me, as I'd gone to college across the river and had eaten at Windows on the World.... but it was amazing to walk through, and still hard to comprehend. :(

I haven't been able to go to see the memorials yet. I was thinking about going after the NY meet in July. I lost a good friend on 9/11 and haven't been down there in years. On a lighter note: Blythe you have the cutest girls!


Afternoon!! How's everyone today?

I'm hanging in there. I have a house full of relatives for the past week and still have a week to go. Hopefully my sanity will still be in place. lol. My husband's bday is coming up. I am not sure what to get him. Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking a mp3 player and something else. Help?!

It's month-end/quarter-end which means we're all supposed to be here until at least 5:30pm (sometimes 6) to support our customers. So naturally, our manager is on vacation, my supervisor went home sick (after being here a whole 2 hours), and the other supervisor had to take her 18 year old son to a doctor's appointment. :shake: Why don't the rules apply equally to them?

Yeah, but it'd just look like salisbury steak, same as all the other meat that comes.


So how is the hospital food comparing to WDW's? Better yet, when's the trip to FF to get some take out for her?:DSee above



Glad to hear Rachel's feeling good -- where are you moving to???
Maryville

So - what am I supposed to do with myself now that I'm all caught up with all the doings around here???
Come relieve the staff here and take care of Alex?

Hi, Blythe! Glad to hear that the girls enjoyed their trip! :D Ben saw the rainbow from the ferry, while I sat inside and dripped on the floor. :blush:


So naturally, our manager is on vacation, my supervisor went home sick (after being here a whole 2 hours), and the other supervisor had to take her 18 year old son to a doctor's appointment. :shake: Why don't the rules apply equally to them?
Do you really want someone sick in the office? :ill: I like the share the workload but not the germs. The right thing would have been to take some work home, if at all possible.


I just got a boatload of :bar: and do you know who I'm sharing with??
These are the calorie-free ones, right?


We need to work out some sort of system so that everyone else can eat whatever they want but have me be the one to gain the weight and calories. Could any of you super intllegent people come up with some way to do that?
How much weight would you like? Because I have lots and lots to spare! :pooh:

Who can send us some dinner? I'm taking a break from work and don't have too much at home to cook. (Note: must be low cal and healthy.)

Hey all!

Sorry I haven't been around. Work has REALLY worn me out, and I just, well, haven't had time to check up on the millions of posts here!

Here's what I've been up to:
Genrally being lazy
4 day Disney cruise (AMAZING!)

I will post a report soon, hopefully. I know Bethany, Jared, and Ellen will get on my case!

I just have to ask, is my JQU Nurse position still mine, or has my absence made it open to others?

By the way, for all of you planning on going to the Texas Intercot meet, head on over to the meet thread. It would be great to get a head count and roster!

What is everyone else up to?

I've got a feeling that she is going to act like the queen she is and just sit on her thrown and watch you move.

Thrown? Like a baseball? I'm thinking she may just want to relax some.

So, after four days in the hospital, the kitchen finally got Rachel's order correct!!
I never got to "order". Mine came by IV, and YES, all looked the same, and had no taste.

:whew: Hi guys! Took me quite awhile to catch up with you!! What a chatty bunch!!

Welcome back! We missed ya! Love the pictures, by the way!

What did everyone have for lunch? I ate Taco Bell. :D
I love Taco Bell. :blush: I guess there are worse things...

I think that would be very good for you. The next time we have a group gettogether, you can be in charge of all our transportation ! :D

Are you sure you want to do that? Have you read her fiascos in getting around NYC? Or do we blame that all on the transportation system? I know of Bethany was in charge, those things wouldn't happen, right?

Wow, only 3 more workdays this week! Hope they go as fast as today did! Anyone have big plans for the 4th?

OK, I wanted to start this post out on a positive note. I want to thank all of you at JQU for making me feel welcome. For 3 years now I have known that INTERCOT has a wonderful, incredible group of people but I've seen even more of that now. I'm not a very social person usually. I'm painfully shy in person most days, but everyone has made it so easy to be me so I thank you all!!!

Can't wait to read your report. Thanks for the nice post about DD getting into the nursing program. The encouragement means the world to her,:thumbsup:

:whew: Boy am I glad your back, Deb, Euan and others have been hurting themselves left and right, duty calls....

Hey Jenn, what are the chances Euan could get his cast signed by Mickey?


Wow, only 3 more workdays this week! Hope they go as fast as today did! Anyone have big plans for the 4th?

We usually take the 64 1/2 (no more jokes pogo, I was wrong when I said I needed the other half a car for my ego, it was your and Alex's that wouldn't fit) anyway, we usually take that car in the parade and one of usually goes in the parade with DS cub scouts (now boy scouts) but I think this year we're just going to watch it instead. What has everyone else planned?

Blythe, glad you had fun in NY. Were any real cookies involved?

Traci--Aww shucks. Some people would think it scary that they get along so well here. :D

Carol, have you gone from purple to purplish/yellow yet? Do we need to tie a pillow around your behind? Are you investing in a purse locker? (Glad that's all worked out.)

Pogo--:shake: No particular reason--just in case. :D

Natalie, are you recommending oil futures?

Scott (or are you really Alex?), still gotta go read the trip reports.

Everybody else--'sup?

DW's van got a flat today and we somehow let AAA expire. We're two pitiful souls right now between her back and my eye (still in the don't lift over ten lbs. week). So, we got my young son-in-law (a year younger than me) and his son to fix it. We paid them, but I think SIL gave his to step-GS. All clear as mud? Good.

Thanks Ken!! I still have the plum bum.:D I'm so full of bruises it ain't funny. Gilles keeps saying that he didn't do it. Do you think he's protesting too much?

My purse is going inside another bag and tucked under my desk, in a corner, where I have to get on my hands and knees to get it. I threw that purse in the garbage. I don't think I can take it anywhere any more. It doesn't feel right carrying it. I got my new iPod today. Gilles decided to get the 8GB Nano instead of the 80GB one.

He had a blow out on the passenger side front tire, and in the process of trying to get over and out of the flow of traffic, he somehow hit a curb at the drainage area, and caused a blow out of the back tire too. :eek: The back tire was brand new too, but not covered by road hazard since it was considered an "incident". So, he had to get a flatbed wrecker to carry his truck to the tire place where he ended up having to buy 4 new tires and 2 new rims (as he bent the 2 that he had blow outs on). :shake:

So sorry to hear about Robert's tire mishap, it seems to be going around. Mike barely made it home the other night with a tire on the front of his Ram staring to seperate. YIKES!! So now it's going to cost $1800 for new tires and wheels. So, didn't I have a bonus somewhere last week? Not anymore :( Oh well, at least it's not coming out of my Disney fund!!

We're headed out of town again, this time it's all 4 of us and Dan's mom, up to Cape Vincent / Alexandria Bay for the 4th and the wknd! Dan's grandfather had a house up in CV that his aunt now owns, and we're going up to relax and see the fireworks on the Bay and do a boat cruise to some castles, etc. The girls will want to move in, I'm sure... :princess: We haven't been up there since Julia was 2, so we're all looking forward to it.

Now don't get me wrong I love all god's creatures but not a fish at 3:00 in the morning!! So I'm up and awake and ready for the day Hope you all have a great morning, talk to you later
Hope you didn't catch the fish problems from me. :nemo:

Why are you repeating yourself ???

The official meet is on Friday, 12/12, and Saturday, 12/13. Some people are arriving on 12/06 and some are staying until 12/18.

I am trained to repeat myself 3x's. It takes that long to get through some skulls :D You'll notice that I repeat myself often (3x's).:blush:


Coffee's on and hot for those who need, and my first couple days of trip report are up if you're interested in a lengthy read. I'll get more as soon as I can, working lots though.

Coffee sounds good right now but I guess it's stale.


I've been waking about 2 or 3 in the morning for a couple of weeks now and not able to go back to sleep, so I get in Intercot and do a little laundry....There is always something to do , isn't there?
Hope you get some rest... I tend to lecture ppl who don't sleep... a :hug: and a :nono: Hope you get a better nights sleep tonight..

So sorry to hear about Robert's tire mishap, it seems to be going around. Mike barely made it home the other night with a tire on the front of his Ram staring to seperate. YIKES!! So now it's going to cost $1800 for new tires and wheels.

Why is everyone having tire problems ??? I know some of us are having "spare" tire problems, but that is a different story. :D

I have the '04 Possum Hunter Edition

And it helped launch all these possum jokes ! Aren't you proud ?? :D


Well, you should book the June Tortola cruise, since we'll be there!

How does that sound?

Lets make it a JQU cruise!
Sounds like you are opening a can of worms. Let the planning begin ! :D

We're headed out of town again, this time it's all 4 of us and Dan's mom, up to Cape Vincent / Alexandria Bay for the 4th and the wknd! Dan's grandfather had a house up in CV that his aunt now owns, and we're going up to relax and see the fireworks on the Bay and do a boat cruise to some castles, etc. The girls will want to move in, I'm sure... We haven't been up there since Julia was 2, so we're all looking forward to it.

Don't you ever stay home ???? :D

I am trained to repeat myself 3x's. It takes that long to get through some skulls You'll notice that I repeat myself often (3x's).


Is it Friday yet???
What did you say ??? You only said it twice and I didn't catch it ! :D

Please don't wish your life away. By wishing it was Friday you've lost three days of your life.

I go to work tomorrow night. Do you think they'd frown upon me if I call in sick the day I return from my 2 week hiatus?

Why not ?? I'd try it ! :D

Good job, Bethany. I bet your AP will be happy to see that score as it will give her ammunition to make sure you get a good post next year.

So I have so much work to do that I'm overwhelmed and not getting anything done. Does that happen to anyone else? :crazy:


Thanks everybody for the congratulations on my score! :D

Ellen, I did get a good post next year, although it isn't ESL. They gave me the top class for first grade, which means the teachers in Kindergarten were asked for their top 2 or 3 students in their class, and they made my class from that list! Should be interesting.

And yes, the so much work to get overwhelmed so you don't get anything done sounds like a familiar situation. And you're getting on Morgan's case for procrastinating? tsk tsk!



I leave for Korea tomorrow...
Can't wait to come back on the 10th with great stories and pictures(including raves of Tokyo Disneyland!), and maybe even a JOB! WOOO! :thumbsup:


You're looking for a job in Korea and Toyko? Good luck! And have fun!


Well, you should book the June Tortola cruise, since we'll be there!

That sounds impossible for me. :(



The girls will want to move in, I'm sure...

Wow, that was SO not a zoop... gotta run... I'll catch some of you later??

Do your girls want to move to EVERY place they visit?

This is turning out to be not so much of a zoop either! (It started out as one!)



I am trained to repeat myself 3x's. It takes that long to get through some skulls :D You'll notice that I repeat myself often (3x's).:blush:


I tend to do the same thing at work. At work, I usually have to say the same thing at least three times, because I'm talking to 6 year olds most of the day. Also, I have to say the same thing a lot because my kids don't all speak English. Did I just repeat myself? ;)

Today is shaping up to be a busy day for me because I leave tomorrow for Seattle, so I have a lot to do to get ready. I also found out that my friend did not pass her state test (we took it on the same day) and her re-test is the day after I get back, so I'm going over to her house soon to help her out a little. She missed the cutoff by only five points. :(

Have a good day everybody!

Happy Canada Day, Nat and Jenn!!!


Do we have any IASW friends here?

After we bought my new iPod yesterday, I told Gilles it was too bad that I didn't have IASW on my old one. We decided that iPods needed a security system. They need a fingerprint identification system and if it isn't your fingerprint all it'll play is IASW and you can't delete it, shut it off or remove the ear pods from you ear. Do we have an inventor here?


Happy Birthday, Mike! And a belated Happy Bday to Ken's DW!

Sending healing :pixie: up North!

Good job, Bethany. I bet your AP will be happy to see that score as it will give her ammunition to make sure you get a good post next year.

Morgan, nice job of procrastinating! Get writing that trip report!! (Where's the "cracking the whip" smiley?)

'
On no, you didn't! :nono: Let's just hope you don't need an IV or a shot from our nurse anytime soon.


Thanks for reminding me to renew my AAA membership! :notworth:

So I have so much work to do that I'm overwhelmed and not getting anything done. Does that happen to anyone else? :crazy:

How's baby Alex?

I'm thinking of making pancakes in the AM. Anyone want some? Or do you want Mickey waffles instead?

How did you know Gilles was making them for breakfast this morning? He just handed me my plate!!


Is that when a can of chicken noodle eats a can of vegetable beef?


:funny:


Bethany, way to go on your test!!:high5:

Alex, I've known you were a doll for a very long time...an IASW doll!!!:D

Here's what I've been up to:
Genrally being lazy
4 day Disney cruise (AMAZING!)

Welcome back to this crazy thread. You know I have to ask, how's training going? I start my "official" training schedule in two weeks!


What has everyone else planned?

I leave Friday for a 10 day vacation!!!!!!! :cloud9: And it's not to Disney and I'm STILL excited!!!!! Why you ask? A) I've got 2 trips planned later on in the year B) I do enjoy doing something different every now and again.......can you believe that? :jaw:


So still no openings at LeCellier. :shake: I even tried to book the Candlelight package - but those were booked as well. I'm bummed. :(

Don't worry.....Do you have another yummy back up plan??? I think Le Cellier is good but it didn't blow me away or anything. I couldn't get it so we're doing Tepan Edo instead.


and maybe even a JOB! WOOO! :thumbsup:

I've said it before and I'll say it again....you better not come back with a job there (ie. if he does then he won't be attending the meet in DEC :pout:).


Did I forget to tell you about Robert's adventures in blown out tires on Friday?


So sorry to hear about Robert's tire mishap, it seems to be going around. Mike barely made it home the other night with a tire on the front of his Ram staring to seperate. YIKES!! So now it's going to cost $1800 for new tires and wheels.

Add us to the list of unplanned car mishaps/expenses...Bob's car broke down on Thursday, luckily at home and luckily I have AAA - but.....I think the bad karma is still lurking in this thread.......:hide2:


Today is shaping up to be a busy day for me because I leave tomorrow for Seattle, so I have a lot to do to get ready.

Have a fun trip, what are your plans in Seattle?

Have a safe trip Greg! Looking forward to hearing all about it when you get back.



So now it's going to cost $1800 for new tires and wheels. So, didn't I have a bonus somewhere last week? Not anymore :( Oh well, at least it's not coming out of my Disney fund!!
I am so sorry Sarah, that is a bummer. You are right though, at least it is not coming out of your Disney $.


Today is shaping up to be a busy day for me because I leave tomorrow for Seattle, so I have a lot to do to get ready.

Have a safe trip Bethany. Can I come with you? lol. :)I heard Seattle is suppose to be a really cool place to visit. I just don't think I would be able to fly that long again.

Yeah, I just flew to and from L.A. at the end of April. I'm not really ready to do another cross-country trip again, but whatever.

It could be worse. A friend of mine (here in NYC) just went to China a few weeks ago and he leaves tomorrow for South Africa.


As for the Small World song...one day a couple years ago at my school, that song started playing over the PA system. You could hear it all over the whole building and only the person in the office could turn it off...and they didn't! What did we do to deserve that?

07-01-2008, 09:35 AM
Wow.. thought this would be a quick check in..



Poor Diane..... :fresh:....... dieting is tough ! Try mine.... eat what you want, when you want, just don't eat as much. I've only gained two pounds all week ! Hey wait.... it's only Monday, right ?

:fresh: Right back atcha!
Yesterday was my first day on the Slim Fast diet and I lost 1/2 a pound already!!! And that is with no exercise! I think I've finally found a diet that will work for me!



It's month-end/quarter-end which means we're all supposed to be here until at least 5:30pm (sometimes 6) to support our customers. So naturally, our manager is on vacation, my supervisor went home sick (after being here a whole 2 hours), and the other supervisor had to take her 18 year old son to a doctor's appointment. Why don't the rules apply equally to them?

Heck.. they are just management.. it's not like they do any of the work when they are there - right? ;)



We need to work out some sort of system so that everyone else can eat whatever they want but have me be the one to gain the weight and calories. Could any of you super intllegent people come up with some way to do that?

Wow - you must be paper thin to want this sort of deal.. remember the number of chocoholics, cookie addicts and ice cream eaters we have on this thread.. you could end up weighing more than 1,000 pounds within a month!



Thanks, that's exactly what I was talking about. Everyone else is always talking about how they want to diet and lose weight and I can't keep weight on so I was hoping we could work something out. Get it???

I used to be that same way... eat whatever I wanted but never gain a pound.. believe me.. it does catch up to you!



Who can send us some dinner? I'm taking a break from work and don't have too much at home to cook. (Note: must be low cal and healthy.)

I had some turkey breast tenderloins with a veggie stir fry (cabbage, green peppers, onions, carrots and garlic).. I have some left overs. want me to ship them to you?


Ellen , I have plenty to share
Bar-be-qued chicken, mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower and peppers) with scalloped potatoes.

Green tea for drinks

Sound OK ? Then come on down! We would love to see you!

Man... don't you know I'm trying to diet here?


So...remember that big state test I took about a month ago?

Well, my score got emailed to me today. I had to get a 220 out of 300 possible to pass...I got a 273!

:party2:Congrats!!!!




DW's van got a flat today and we somehow let AAA expire. We're two pitiful souls right now between her back and my eye (still in the don't lift over ten lbs. week). So, we got my young son-in-law (a year younger than me) and his son to fix it. We paid them, but I think SIL gave his to step-GS. All clear as mud? Good.

a demain.

Soooo... is going to AAA on your agenda for today?



I'm thinking of making pancakes in the AM. Anyone want some? Or do you want Mickey waffles instead?

I wanna be a size three... I wanna be a size three.. I wanna be a size three

No thanks.. I'll just sit here and drink my chocolate Slim Fast shake while the rest of you eat those wonderful smelling, yummy looking pancakes and waffles....(maybe I need a bit of help? :zipped:)



Just wanted to check in and say hello. I just found out that my grandma has been sick the past couple of days and we are waiting on her test results. At least being here takes my mind off things. How is everyone else doing?

So sorry to hear about your grandma being sick. I do hope she makes a full recovery!



I leave for Korea tomorrow...so I just wanted to "zoop" in and say goodbye to everyone!
Can't wait to come back on the 10th with great stories and pictures(including raves of Tokyo Disneyland!), and maybe even a JOB! WOOO!


Good luck! And have a safe trip! Looking forward to hearing all about it and seeing your pictures!


Is that when a can of chicken noodle eats a can of vegetable beef?

Dan's grandfather had a house up in CV that his aunt now owns, and we're going up to relax and see the fireworks on the Bay and do a boat cruise to some castles, etc. The girls will want to move in, I'm sure...

I don't care who you are.. that's funny! :laughing:

Hope you have a wonderful and safe trip! I guess this thread will be a bit on the quiet side this weekend with everyone gone on vacations.

Sorry to hear about your car. I'm with you - the bad karma is still lurking. I think it knows when you have a Disney trip planned then it attacks and tries it's hardest to take every last penny you have saved. I took my car in for an oil change ($21) it ended up costing me $90 something.. cause the filter and some other things needed replaced. This after sinking money into it for a battery... now I got a quarterly tax bill from my city and they've increased my payments...

I don't think he was really sick, I think he was taking advantage of the fact that his boss was out of the office.

Isn't that the best time to be out of the office?

Did I forget to tell you about Robert's adventures in blown out tires on Friday? And yes, I said tires. He had a blow out on the passenger side front tire, and in the process of trying to get over and out of the flow of traffic, he somehow hit a curb at the drainage area, and caused a blow out of the back tire too. The back tire was brand new too, but not covered by road hazard since it was considered an "incident". So, he had to get a flatbed wrecker to carry his truck to the tire place where he ended up having to buy 4 new tires and 2 new rims (as he bent the 2 that he had blow outs on).
:pixie: for the vehicle misadventures





Why is 64 1/2 your favorite year?

And, why is Deb in trouble? She had a question.
Yeah! Why am I in trouble???:D






It's the best year for Mustangs ever. Cute, boxy, sleek, PERFECT!! (and I don't want to hear any jokes...POGO!!)

So sorry to hear about Robert's tire mishap, it seems to be going around. Mike barely made it home the other night with a tire on the front of his Ram staring to seperate. YIKES!! So now it's going to cost $1800 for new tires and wheels. So, didn't I have a bonus somewhere last week? Not anymore! Oh well, at least it's not coming out of my Disney fund!!

Have a good night all, off to bed for me. Btw Rhonda, where is Allen, Texas? How close are you to the NM border? OK, talk to you all later

:ditto:! I just bought 4 new tires for Amy's Mustang. YIKES!$$$$


Yeah!

The Stewart Home School?explanation , please:confused:

I saw a little French kid run by a few minutes ago


I have the '04 Possum Hunter Edition
Amy has a Mustang, They call her "Possum Kicker" at school.
Makes her ma proud!:D



thanks!! Is it okay if I eat mine now??
I saved it for you!

Thanks!!You're Welcome!

We're headed out of town again, this time it's all 4 of us and Dan's mom, up to Cape Vincent / Alexandria Bay for the 4th and the wknd!

Sounds like fun!


Deb, you are very naughty... I should've thought of that when you and Mikki were wiping out Jack Sparrow on me. OOps, Sorry 'bout that, Did you enjoy your Mickey bar? Would you like another? I guess I owe you :D



Thanks everybody for the congratulations on my score! You are welcome!

Ellen, I did get a good post next year, although it isn't ESL. They gave me the top class for first grade, which means the teachers in Kindergarten were asked for their top 2 or 3 students in their class, and they made my class from that list! Should be interesting. That sound wonderful!! Congrats!





You're looking for a job in Korea and Toyko? Good one!:thumbsup:Good luck! And have fun!

Do your girls want to move to EVERY place they visit? I do!

This is turning out to be not so much of a zoop either! (It started out as one!)



I tend to do the same thing at work. At work, I usually have to say the same thing at least three times, because I'm talking to 6 year olds most of the day. Also, I have to say the same thing a lot because my kids don't all speak English. Did I just repeat myself?
I was teaching special needs children when Jerry and I married, I was used to giving the same information several different ways. I just got used to talking that way. Jerry got frustrated with me once, and said, " Do you realize, you've said the same thing many times in just as many different ways!?" I have since tried to modify my speech patterns one for instruction - another for nagging!

Today is shaping up to be a busy day for me because I leave tomorrow for Seattle, so I have a lot to do to get ready. I also found out that my friend did not pass her state test (we took it on the same day) and her re-test is the day after I get back, so I'm going over to her house soon to help her out a little. She missed the cutoff by only five points. Good Luck to your friend!


Do I have to include another question?

Please don't wish your life away. By wishing it was Friday you've lost three days of your life.


Why not ?? I'd try it !
I'll work for you... let's see... approve psych. testing for all that come in....check... Pogo.. give him 52 sessions to start... check...put adderallXR on formulary... check....
Wow! this job is easy.... :fresh:

... I said it twice on purpose to make you think... :plot: funny I went to bed last night thinking ... I bet Pogo will be the one to notice I only said it twice.:thedolls: Remember I'm the shrink... it's the routine mind..... game? (can't say the other work)

I'll be doing signings with the group the next three days at our July 4 crafts festival. Our town hosts the 'official' NC 4th of July and we go from about 3,000 to about 50,000 over the holidays. If you happen to be here, stop by our booth.

Hey Jenn, what are the chances Euan could get his cast signed by Mickey?Right now slim...it's a half cast bound with a tensor bandage. We go to see the surgeon on Thursday, so we'll see what he/she says. I posted our pre-trip report for DLR, and someone came on with a suggestion for a waterproof cover that has worked for them...so we'll need to look into that for sure!

How's the elbow kid doin' Jenn?

a demain.Euan's adapting incredibly well for an autistic kid who does not like changes at all!! Kids are just incredible aren't they? I'm so sorry to hear about your car troubles. Good thing you have such a nice young SiL to help you out! ;)

Maybe my French is a little rusty. I was trying to say what I recalled as French for 'til tomorrow'.Nothing wrong with your French....you said it tres bien!

Do the underachievers have a choice to get cooked or get tutored? This made me think of the Far Side cartoon, where the dog is hanging his head out the window and telling his doggie friends "I'm going to the Vet to get tutored!" Hilarious. Congratulations on your very good test score Bethany!

I'm thinking of making pancakes in the AM. Anyone want some? Or do you want Mickey waffles instead?I should have taken your offer! The boys talked me into boiled eggs -- and eggs don't like me very much---so I have a bit of buyer's remorse

Never changed a flat tire. Isn't that what AAA and the cell phone are for? Brian and I bought an Eagle Talon about 18 months before we got married, and the first thing my Father in Law did was teach me how to change a tire. Thankfully I have never had to do it -- and I have CAA and a cell phone for such emergencies! :D

I leave for Korea tomorrow...so I just wanted to "zoop" in and say goodbye to everyone! Bon Voyage Greg!!

Did I forget to tell you about Robert's adventures in blown out tires on Friday?
My goodness, Rhonda! Thank goodness he wasn't hurt when they blew!

Lets make it a JQU cruise!We've considered a cruise, but have decided that Euan will have to be at least 25 before we would trust him to NOT scale the railings and jump into the deep blue sea. I would be a nervous wreck!

Don't worry.....Do you have another yummy back up plan??? I think Le Cellier is good but it didn't blow me away or anything. I couldn't get it so we're doing Tepan Edo instead. I'm with you Emily....I really don't get the hype over Le Cellier..... I personally think that Marrakesh is the best WS restaurant.

Happy Tuesday everyone -- Happy Canada day to my Canadian sisters!

I had to google his site, since I don't read Playboy...... ;) I'm not familiar with his work, but it seems to be warped enough to make me laugh. When I was growing up, my parents had a great little book called "101 Uses for a Dead Cat" ... think of pencil sharpeners or oven mits or draught pulls..... I'm sure there's a special place in heck for people like me. :thedolls:

Sounds like you are opening a can of worms. Let the planning begin ! :D
Indeed! It would be incredibly awesome if we were all on one HUGE ship together. I think it would be GREAT!! Come on, folks! You know you want to! What would be better than a bunch of Intercotees, livened up on Bahama Mamas, at Karaoke?



And yes, the so much work to get overwhelmed so you don't get anything done sounds like a familiar situation. And you're getting on Morgan's case for procrastinating? tsk tsk!

That sounds impossible for me. :(

Yes, she is getting onto me. In fact, we weren't talking very long this morning, and she already popped a TR question... I do say!

And I know you think its impossible, but I'm sure we'll really plan a cruise for JQU further in the future. Just make sure you save your coins!

Oh, by the way, congrats on the test! They are so scary when they are so important. You are so nice to help out your friend, even though you have a lot of stuff to do. At least she has an idea of what its like. I'm sure she'll do well!


Welcome back to this crazy thread. You know I have to ask, how's training going? I start my "official" training schedule in two weeks!
The training? Hmmm. Well, I need to get back into it. I plan to do the tredmill at work Thursday morning, so that will help!



We've considered a cruise, but have decided that Euan will have to be at least 25 before we would trust him to NOT scale the railings and jump into the deep blue sea. I would be a nervous wreck!

Well, there IS always making it an "adult only" cruise? Besides, those railings are crazy high. I never saw anyone climbing on them, but then again, Euan wasn't there. :mickey:

Looks like I'm getting back into the swing of JQU. Let's just hope I don't leave again! Who will keep me in line?

It's HOT here for the fifth day in a row, and I'm thinking summer camp sounds even hotter.:sun:

I want to shiver ! I want my toes to go numb ! The only great thing is that......."IT'S A DRY HEAT". Sweat evaporates before it runs. You can get a second degree burn from your door handle. The scorpions have gone underground. Your coffee will still be hot when the day is over if you leave it in the car, and I think I'll take some cookie dough, put it on a plate, and set it outside to see what happens.:D

How is everybody else.?

Morning all!! Well today has started out with a bang :( A patient's daughter called (not sure where she was the last week we've been dealing with her mother!!) but is all upset about the fact that *I* scheduled something wrong, etc. Well Dr. Finch scheduled it and thanks goodness she got on the phone and told her that. Sometimes I get stuck in the middle and I had nothing to do with it. :confused:

I also have one more interview today for the receptionist position and then we're going to make our decision. We have two so far that we all like, but the one has to car pool with her husband from very far away and will probably have to call in a lot due to weather, etc.

I'm getting my carpets at the house cleaned on Thursday afternoon. I hate the fact that everything will be wet and there will be puppies and kitties walking on the wet carpet and then on my tile floors :mad: BUT when it dries, it's going to be so nice. The carpets are not as um, fresh as I would like, so it's about time. I'll get DH to help me move all the stuff off the carpets in the morning, he'll LOVE that!! :D

So what's for lunch? I still have leftovers from the weekend. Chicken breast and some macaroni salad Mike's mom made. Hope you all have a great afternoon :hug:

Maybe my French is a little rusty. I was trying to say what I recalled as French for 'til tomorrow'.

OH! It was French! No wonder I didn't know what it said! :blush:


Btw Rhonda, where is Allen, Texas? How close are you to the NM border?

It's northeast of Dallas, so not very close to NM at all.


Wow, that was SO not a zoop... gotta run... I'll catch some of you later??

You're really not very good at zooping, are you? ;)


Indeed! It would be incredibly awesome if we were all on one HUGE ship together. I think it would be GREAT!! Come on, folks! You know you want to! What would be better than a bunch of Intercotees, livened up on Bahama Mamas, at Karaoke?

And I know you think its impossible, but I'm sure we'll really plan a cruise for JQU further in the future. Just make sure you save your coins!

Looks like I'm getting back into the swing of JQU. Let's just hope I don't leave again! Who will keep me in line?

Yeah, a JQU cruise would be a blast, but we won't be able to manage it in 2009 since we are going to WDW next November for Robert's big birthday. Maybe 2010 instead?

And, as far as keeping you in line, I would volunteer, but I've barely had time to keep up with JQ myself!

Later all!

Wow! this job is easy....

Hang on... your in for a wild ride if you are going to try to figure out my mind ! :D Right, Diane ???? :fresh:

I said it twice on purpose to make you think... funny I went to bed last night thinking ... I bet Pogo will be the one to notice I only said it twice. Remember I'm the shrink... it's the routine mind..... game? (can't say the other work)
What makes you think I wasn't wishing for Friday last week?
Nice try ! Don't you think you should change your screen name to "Queenofcoverup" ????

I'm not buying that excuse for a minute. :D

I'll be doing signings with the group the next three days at our July 4 crafts festival. Our town hosts the 'official' NC 4th of July and we go from about 3,000 to about 50,000 over the holidays. If you happen to be here, stop by our booth.
Don't be too surprised if we walk in ! Patti is off Thursday and Friday and we aer thinking of a road trip. :D

Hmm, looks like we'll have to start giving demerits to the newbies who don't follow the cookie rules. Twenty demerits, and you have to listen to Carol's 'special' Ipod for eight hours.

I hope so :secret: and thanks!


Where are you going?

My brother lives in Seattle; he's getting married on the 5th! :bride::groom:

That sounds like fun, have a great time! We are going to Ohio for 2 days (when we originally planned the trip we had a wedding to go to on the 5th also, but it got cancelled...and we're still going anyway)...on Sunday we leave Pittsburgh bright and early for the land of hot air (balloons that is).

Hmmm.. Alex is missing.. cookies are missing.. think there's a connection?


Jenn I have your choice of bannana butterscotch or pear ginger muffins would that do? And coffee of course.

Happy Cananda Day to Jenn & Carol and Marilyn if you happen to poke your head in.



I'd love to try one of those Pear Ginger Muffins.. how many calories are in one? I'm gonna come up with a spare 150 calories today...

Happy Canada Day to my northern friends!

Ohh.. a JQU cruise would be fun! And that's something I could probably talk my dh into since he is wanting to cruise again! BUT.. unless a financial blessing comes my way it could be another 5 years before I'm able to go anywhere else.

In regards to the cruise, why not plan for something in 2010? A 3 day is WAY too short, but a 4 day would be fantastic!

This could be great! We'll have to look at the dates when they release the dates toward the end of the year.

I think we could get into REAL trouble...

Di I don't know how many calories they have but they are hommade and not with butter (vegie oil) if that helps. And the batch makes a dozen regular size.

So with out even finishing our first planned trip we are trying to plan a cruise? We are ambitious. I'm thinking of planning a nap.

Do your girls want to move to EVERY place they visit?

Yup -- seeing as the only places they frequent are the Maine coast and Disney!! :blush: Of course, now NYC gets a vote.... and the castles in Alexandria Bay win just because they're, well, castles!! :cloud9:


Blythe I just got to see your fabulous photos from your weekend in NYC! TErrific!! The rainbow pictures made me tear up...just beautiful! Thanks for sharing! What beautiful girls, and Ellen, you look fabulous! Now I'm really jonesing for a weekend...

Thanks!! We weren't back a day and I was back online, trying to find a place Dan & I could stay with the girls.... not like we're going to be going down there anytime soon, but I just HAD to look!! I'm hoping to maybe day-trip it next December for Christmas at the Rockefeller Center....


Indeed! It would be incredibly awesome if we were all on one HUGE ship together. I think it would be GREAT!! Come on, folks! You know you want to! What would be better than a bunch of Intercotees, livened up on Bahama Mamas, at Karaoke?

Whoo boy, that sounds dangerous... and FUN!!!

Us??? Trouble???? :thedolls: Just nobody tell Dan in December I'm booking a second cruise... he'd :faint: and cancel my JQ membership. Of course, being the pirate that he is, maybe he'd just offer to bring the rum... :D ... we'll just have to see how cruise #1 goes!

So, how was everyone's day? Mine was fractured... I was supposed to sleep, with a couple of "get up and check on the girls" in there... instead, it was "get up and check on the cat", as Calvin is still having some issues. So, we're taking him in to the vet tomorrow and seeing what's going on, maybe it'll be as simple as adjusting his insulin, but something tells me not. (sad smilie) He's supposed to get boarded over this upcoming wknd., so if you could send him some kitty pixie dust to get him through, we'd appreciate it!

Anybody have any espresso for me???

The reason we talk so much here is because we're all one happy family.

What took you so long???

Just timing, thanks for the invite Deb. Are we ever going to be on the same side in Take Away?



1) Ask a question in each post or Rhonda will hunt you down like a dog.

2) pogo is ALWAYS right !

3) Bring cookies for everyone except me. I'll take any alcoholic beverage though.

4) Beware of Caroleh and T&G.... they are trouble.

5) Never offer food to Diane...... she's on a diet... right Diane ?
6) If in doubt, refer to rule # 2.

Welcome to JQ, Jeff ! :D

Thanks for clarifying everything and the advice! I have beer:beer: and an open bar:marg:, what can I get you?


Welcome, Jeff!!! You better bed glad you brought the cookies otherwise Ken would have you listening to my stolen iPod!!


Does the ipod have 80's music? If so that doesn't sound like punishment.


We all quit our jobs....

I'm in the mortgage business which is really quite, does that count? If so I should fit right in:D.



Jeff, a few other rules:

1)ALWAYS listen to the women....

2)pogo is trouble, don't listen to him or to Alex...

3)pogo is also the resort owner and enough margaritas may keep him quiet....

4)Caroleh and T&G are gems and no trouble at all, but you need to watch out for the :thedolls:'s from Deb....

5)If in doubt, refer to rule #1!! :D

Any questions now??

From other posts I've noticed that Deb is corrupted by the dolls and that Pogo likes his free drinks. As for the rest I'll politley refrain form saying anymore.



Come on Jeff........ us guys have to stick together here.

Remember... it was a woman that suckered Adam into eating the forbidden fruit. That's what started the whole worlds problems.

Are you going to let a woman lead you astray too ???? :D

Do I have to comment? I know you're always right but.....



Welcome Jeff. Reading is recommended but not required. Questions are required, cookies are required. Dole whips are optional but appreciated.

You cannot under any circumstances where socks and sandals. Is it all clear now?

Thanks for the tips and fashion advice.

Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome. Right now my heads spinning from all of the rules, could I have possibly missed any?

Thanks for clarifying everything and the advice! I have beer:beer: and an open bar:marg:, what can I get you?
strawberry marguarita and make it a double!



Does the ipod have 80's music? If so that doesn't sound like punishment.I prefer Jimmy Buffet, late 70's till present.



I'm in the mortgage business which is really quite, does that count? If so I should fit right in:D.I really think you are an elementary student in disguise!:D




From other posts I've noticed that Deb is corrupted by the dolls and that Pogo likes his free drinks. As for the rest I'll politley refrain form saying anymore. No corruption here!




Do I have to comment? I know you're always right but.....You needed a question, right?




Thanks for the tips and fashion advice.

Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome. Right now my heads spinning from all of the rules, could I have possibly missed any?Yes, but you'll have to figure it out on your own!:thedolls:

I saw a thing on the news this morning about a couple of people that were skinny dipping in a reservoir in Portland. T&G... have you got something to tell us ??? :D

Well....they did say she was like 24, right? ;) But unless I want to join the unemployment lines, don't think I'll try it. :D

Today is shaping up to be a busy day for me because I leave tomorrow for Seattle, so I have a lot to do to get ready.
I'll be in Seattle the week of July 21st. Too bad the timing wasn't different.

In regards to the cruise, why not plan for something in 2010? A 3 day is WAY too short, but a 4 day would be fantastic!

Hmmm....2010? I think I could do that. DH really wants to go on another cruise. We are already planning Hawaii for next summer, so 2009 is out for us.

Since this is my first post on JQ's I have warm calorie free chocolate chip cookies (the power of the Internet) and dole whips, anyone hungry or thirsty?
I like him. He can stay!! :D


We only have a few rules.....

1) Ask a question in each post or Rhonda will hunt you down like a dog. TRUE

2) pogo THINKS he is ALWAYS right !

3) Bring cookies for everyone except me. I'll take any alcoholic beverage though. Well, that explains alot. :dizzy:

4) Beware of Caroleh and T&G.... they are smart cookies, and never are in trouble.

5) Never offer food to Diane...... she's on a diet... right Diane ?

6) If in doubt, refer to rule # 2.

Welcome to JQ, Jeff !




Jeff, a few other rules:

1)ALWAYS listen to the women....
Absolutely!!
2)pogo is trouble, don't listen to him or to Alex... Absolutely!!

3)pogo is also the resort owner and enough margaritas may keep him quiet.... ;)Absolutely!!

4)Caroleh and T&G are gems and no trouble at all, but you need to watch out for the the dolls from Deb....
Absolutely!!
5)If in doubt, refer to rule #1!! Most Defintely!!

Any questions now??
Looks like you covered everything quite well, Blythe! :D

Jym - any idea of how long 'lil Alex will be staying at the hospital? What about Rachel? BTW, did you know that nobody knows your new address? :confused:

Hi JQ'ers. It's been a quite work week so I was able to read a day or twos posts and to see what this thread is all about. This seems like a very fun thread but how do you keep up with all of the posts?

[WELCOME!! We have people who read them for us and just give us the digests.

Did the dolls recently escape? I think Deb has been corrupted.:thedolls:

We've taken a huge financial blow and it looks like we may have to cancel my birthday trip to WDW in sept. (also supposed to be the baby's first trip) We'll have to wait and see I guess. Anyway, I haven't been in much of a mood for chat. I hope everyones tuesday is going great. Talk to you all soon.

No Traci :( say it isn't so. I was so looking forward to meeting you. I sure hope things look up for you :hug:

Evening all, sup? LOL :D Just cleaning up the house a bit, nothing spectacular. This was a long day. Sounds like Medicare is cutting reimbursement rates by 11% so things are going to get tight at work. It's so hard when you know that healthcare will always be there, but when you work in such a small office you worry about every penny. When I've worked for hospitals or larger offices you're not concerned with the money, you don't hear the nitty gritty of it. Oh well, I think everything will be ok, it's just scary with the new PA coming on in September and us hiring a new receptionist.

I'll check in later, haven't had a lot of time to read everything, you all have been VERY chatty today! Talk to you later :hug:

The Wonder has a November 25 4 day cruise in 2009.

The reason I looked there, is no hurricanes! and it is near Thanksgiving and some of us might have time off then.

Anyone interested?

So how's your weather out there, Marilyn? :DWe're having some low humidity heat for a change, and you can tell the difference when temps are in the eighties and low nineties.
We're not as hot as Marilyn gets in Phoenix but I tell you Albuquerque has really been scorching that last couple weeks. Now we're getting into the "monsoon" season which means just enough rain to make the swamp cooler not work :mad:

Anyone want to do a 4 day park 3night cruise combo?:D

Absolutely, I'm there!! I've been trying to convince Mike to take a Disney cruise, this might just be the ticket!

I'm hoping to maybe day-trip it next December for Christmas at the Rockefeller Center....

I would love to go to NYC for Christmas. I loved the picture of you guys standing in Time Square, how fun!

We only have a few rules.....

1) Ask a question in each post or Rhonda will hunt you down like a dog.

2) pogo is ALWAYS right !

3) Bring cookies for everyone except me. I'll take any alcoholic beverage though.

4) Beware of Caroleh and T&G.... they are trouble.

5) Never offer food to Diane...... she's on a diet... right Diane ? :fresh:

6) If in doubt, refer to rule # 2.


:funny: Ok, seriously that was good...but #2? Totally forget that one and you'll be fine!!

Ok I think I've gotten through most of everything, did I miss anything? I'm sure I did. Did I mention you all were VERY chatty today?? Yikes!

07-01-2008, 09:39 PM
Do you think any of the guys are going to support you with that one? Let me guess, you're not telling Patti what you just typed are you? Yes the guys will be with me.... except Scott, Ken, Greg, Jarod, Jym and maybe Alex.

What do you think ??? Should I tell her ?? :D

OK......... deep breath...... now hold onto Bruce real tight..... and your son..... close your eyes and keep them closed for a few minutes....... now open them and say to yourself.... it's not that important..... we will survive and it will get better. :D

I just got to thinking - DD16 will be graduating from High School in 2010! :faint: So that either means a really nice graduation trip - or one less that we would have to pay for. :blush:

Ellen, does it have to be 2009 or is 2010 OK for the cruise?

I really don't know if I can afford either. I will probably be retired by then. Maybe starting on a new career, I may join the circus or work at Disney in IASW.
Well, I can dream, can't I?

DW and I are glued to the set every Tuesday night. We were pretty amazed by the cloggers too. (Don't look at this yet T&G)

Well, today was my Friday this week, sort of. We got the booth set up tonight and we'll be in it from 10-6 the next three days.

Can somebody send some cookies by the booth?

Good morning you happy, peppy, smiley, wonderful people! No, I haven't flipped my lid. I stood on my head and saw the upside ;) Anyway, I finally was able to catch up with reading but if I leave anyone out just smack me k? If Greg gets a chance to read this from somewhere, have a great, safe and magical trip! Happy belated B-day to Mike and Kens DW. Bethany, have a great trip and congrats to your brother. Blythe and Emily have safe and wonderful trips. Blythe I think I said it before but the pics of your trip to the city are great!


It's the best year for Mustangs ever. Cute, boxy, sleek, PERFECT!!
I agree, I love the 64 1/2. Most people don't realize that there are differences between the 64 1/2 and the first 65s.



I have the '04 Possum Hunter Edition
We have the 64 and an '03 (the year before they came out with the posssum hunter edition.;)

Late happy Canada day to my northern neighbors.


After we bought my new iPod yesterday, I told Gilles it was too bad that I didn't have IASW on my old one. We decided that iPods needed a security system. They need a fingerprint identification system and if it isn't your fingerprint all it'll play is IASW and you can't delete it, shut it off or remove the ear pods from you ear. Do we have an inventor here?
That reminds me of a story I heard about a judge that sentences teens to sit in a room and listen to Barney the dinosaur, LOUD, when they are ticketed for excessive noise from their car stereos. :funny:



I leave Friday for a 10 day vacation!!!!!!! And it's not to Disney and I'm STILL excited!!!!! Why you ask? A) I've got 2 trips planned later on in the year B) I do enjoy doing something different every now and again.......can you believe that?

Where are you going?


I could use a good double chocolate chocolate chunk cookie meself. Hey JQU bakers, can we get a tray full of cokies?
Now that you've ordered a snack for me what are you going to have? :D


I wanna go!
Did you know my middle name is go?
Deb Go Disney!!
Wow, were your parents psychic or what?


I imagine it is someone not subscribed to this thread and is jealous of our friendships.
Exactly :thumbsup:


I'd vote for 2010, as well,
I'm with you. I might be able to pull it off if it's that far away.


So, we're taking him in to the vet tomorrow and seeing what's going on, maybe it'll be as simple as adjusting his insulin, but something tells me not. (sad smilie) He's supposed to get boarded over this upcoming wknd., so if you could send him some kitty pixie dust to get him through, we'd appreciate it!
Sending tons more pixie dust for Calvin. :hug: and that's for you.


Hi JQ'ers. It's been a quite work week so I was able to read a day or twos posts and to see what this thread is all about. This seems like a very fun thread but how do you keep up with all of the posts?
Oh..... we're supposed to keep up?



Since this is my first post on JQ's I have warm calorie free chocolate chip cookies (the power of the Internet) and dole whips, anyone hungry or thirsty?
WELCOME!!! I'll have some of those cookies if Alex didn't run off with them all.


Jeff, a few other rules:

1)ALWAYS listen to the women....

2)pogo is trouble, don't listen to him or to Alex...

3)pogo is also the resort owner and enough margaritas may keep him quiet....

4)Caroleh and T&G are gems and no trouble at all, but you need to watch out for the :thedolls:'s from Deb....

5)If in doubt, refer to rule #1!!

Any questions now??
This is definately the set of rules you want to follow. We are WAY more scary than pogo.


Are you going to let a woman lead you astray too ????
Did you just say that out loud? I you did I have one word for you........... RUN!


You cannot under any circumstances where socks and sandals. Is it all clear now?
And if you by some fluke of nature do, rest assured it will be documented on video and posted everywhere.


No Traci say it isn't so. I was so looking forward to meeting you. I sure hope things look up for you

I'm hoping it will happen. Bruce said he's sure we can go. The problem we're going to run into is getting there. We'll be able to pay off the trip but flights have gotten so expensive, as have rental cars (we don't have a car big enough for all of us) He's convinced that we'll be able to make it but I'm not going to let myself get too excited just in case. My ex owes me thousands and was supposed to pay this weekend, no such luck, and since the doctor took me out of work permanently because my shoulders, knees, ankles and hips dislocate every time I move them, money has ben a little tight. Just keep your fingers crossed because I would love to meet! Bruce's sister is going to pay for a rental car for all of us to go to NYC for the meet this month. Yay! (because she wants to go too.)


Traci, I'm sorry to hear that.... I hope things turn around for you. Sending you some $$ to try to help.... I've been there, too. Don't stay away -- we're good at cheering people up!!
Thanks so much. :hug:

OK......... deep breath...... now hold onto Bruce real tight..... and your son..... close your eyes and keep them closed for a few minutes....... now open them and say to yourself.... it's not that important..... we will survive and it will get better.
Thanks pogo, I needed that.


Good Morning JQ'ers, the coffee is on as well as the hot water for tea/chocolate for thos of us who prefer hot drinks even in the summer time. As well as juices, and soda of your choice for those who prefer cold drinks.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Yes, I'm singing a country song this AM, but reading back over some of these posts made me think of singing it to you today.

Sandy , you are always so bright and chipper in the morning. You always have our morning beverages ready with a smile.

Pogo , you are hilarious but also very wise.

Ellen, you are quite possibly the strongest woman I've ever met. Ben is lucky to have you as a mom. Your employer is lucky too.

Rhonda, thank you for keeping us on the straight and narrow. We are a tough bunch.

Ken, you amaze me with your work, your community activities and family activities.

Traci, I know you have had some trials and tribulations. We are just discovering what an amazing person you are.

Sarah, your work with homeless animals is to be commended. You make such a difference in lives of animals and their people.

Beth, I have really enjoyed reading your posts and getting to know you and your family.

Bethany, I think you must be a great teacher to those little ones. We need more people like you.

Blythe, I really enjoyed meeting you and Dan in October. I can't wait to meet the rest of your wonderful family in December. I enjoy your posts and your sunny disposition.

Scott, I love reading how you and your daughter are so involved in golf together. You must be one terrific dad!

Jym and Rachel, you are a lovely young couple and I kinow you will be two of the best parents in the world to little Alex.

Big Alex, you wear pink tube tops well! We love picking on you because you have such a wonderful sense of humor and you handle it so well.

Marylin. You have written some of the funniest post I'ver ever read here on Intercot. I can't wait to meet you in December!

Carol, you have a wonderful positive energy that comes from you and reaches out to lift us up here on Intercot. You must be wonderful to work with. I'm truly bummed that I won't be seeing you in December.

I didn't mean to make this such a post and I know I've left out some, but I've gotto go get ready for DD Amy's graduation luncheon. Her last day is Thursday!!

I'll get to Jeff, Diane, Mikki, Natalie, the other Deb , Mary and others tonight when I get home.:hug:

No no no no no. I think 'well seasoned' was the term I was looking for.

Pogo do you realize that after the "led astray bit" your going to get so many splinters from that deck?

Deb that was beyond sweet. What a way to start the day!

Sandy I don't think we've seen JimmyC for quite some time. He was always so funny!

Pogo I bet Jeff will be back, once you jump in it's really hard to get back.

I have some muffins, cake or peak frean cookies, which would you like Ken? Does your booth have wi-fi?

Carol, you have a wonderful positive energy that comes from you and reaches out to lift us up here on Intercot. You must be wonderful to work with. I'm truly bummed that I won't be seeing you in December.



Thanks, Deb, that is so sweet. Do you want to tell my employees that Saturday night when I'll be stressing to the max to get the last minute details for inventory? :D


Oh, I'm so glad I don't work retail anymore !!!!! :D


Alright everyone..... were taking bets on whether or not Jeff returns today. Who's in ??? :D

Are you sure you don't want to come and help? You could actually make the job a lot more fun and me a little less stressed out!!!

I think he'll return...just to pick on you!!!:D

Anyway, I haven't been in much of a mood for chat. I hope everyones tuesday is going great. Talk to you all soon.

:hug: for a better day today Traci, I really hope you can still go on your trip.....


Can somebody send some cookies by the booth?

*teleports cookies to your booth*
I tried out a recipe that I saw in the Water Cooler......."fudge wudgie balls" made with oreos, chocolate and cream cheese!


Where are you going?

Disney...where else? Labor Day Weekend and The JQ meet in December. :tree: Lucky for me it's a 2.5 hour drive from my apartment to the Welcome to WDW Gate :mickey: or did you mean this coming week? :confused: I'm going to Santa Fe.

Btw Diane I won't be near you :( I'll be on the other side of the state near West Virginia...


I've got work to do.... 8:30 tee time. See ya later ! :D

Happy "Friday" Pogo........and Wednesday/Thursday whatever day it is to everyone else. Fresh cinnamon rolls are just coming out of the oven here...just have to make the icing....

I have some muffins, cake or peak frean cookies, which would you like Ken? Does your booth have wi-fi?
I think there's wi-fi somewhere nearby. It's only about two blocks from my house, so mine might reach. What's a peak frean cookie? :confused:

Wow! Don't you guys EVER get tired of chatting? Good morning everyone! How are you all doing on this beautiful and sunshiney day? Life is so good - ain't it?


Hi JQ'ers. It's been a quite work week so I was able to read a day or twos posts and to see what this thread is all about. This seems like a very fun thread but how do you keep up with all of the posts?

Posts? We're suppossed to read the other posts?

Since this is my first post on JQ's I have warm calorie free chocolate chip cookies (the power of the Internet) and dole whips, anyone hungry or thirsty?

AH! I like this guy!!! You can stay! Welcome to our happy home!




We only have a few rules.....

2) pogo is ALWAYS right !

5) Never offer food to Diane...... she's on a diet... right Diane ?

6) If in doubt, refer to rule # 2.



Pogo, Pogo, Pogo... whatever are we gonna do with you?

Oh... I've already lost 1 1/2 pounds this week! Whatcha think of that?



Jeff, a few other rules:

1)ALWAYS listen to the women....

2)pogo is trouble, don't listen to him or to Alex...

3)pogo is also the resort owner and enough margaritas may keep him quiet....

4)Caroleh and T&G are gems and no trouble at all, but you need to watch out for the from Deb....

5)If in doubt, refer to rule #1!!

Any questions now??

AH.. finally someone posted the CORRECT rules!



Remember... it was a woman that suckered Adam into eating the forbidden fruit. That's what started the whole worlds problems.

Are you going to let a woman lead you astray too ????

:shake:



Welcome Jeff. Reading is recommended but not required. Questions are required, cookies are required. Dole whips are optional but appreciated.

You cannot under any circumstances where socks and sandals. Is it all clear now?

And don't forget that picking on Pogo and Alex is required also.. if you don't they start thinking they are unloved and will pout...


What's a job? Oh is that the place we go to for a break so everyone doesn't think we sit at a computer all day?


Hmmm... that's tough since I DO sit at a computer all day when I'm at my job... now what I'm doing on the computer may be a whole different story! It makes it sooo easy to look like you are working when you have papers in front of you and you are staring at your computer screen and typing.. occassionaly looking at those papers!!!


The Wonder has a November 25 4 day cruise in 2009.

The reason I looked there, is no hurricanes! and it is near Thanksgiving and some of us might have time off then.

Anyone interested?

Interested - yes!!! Financially able - probably not...



From other posts I've noticed that Deb is corrupted by the dolls and that Pogo likes his free drinks. As for the rest I'll politley refrain form saying anymore.

Do I have to comment? I know you're always right but.....



Ah.. and he's smart too!!!


It's been quite a rough day. We've taken a huge financial blow and it looks like we may have to cancel my birthday trip to WDW in sept. (also supposed to be the baby's first trip) We'll have to wait and see I guess. Anyway, I haven't been in much of a mood for chat. I hope everyones tuesday is going great. Talk to you all soon.

Hugs to you! Sorry you've had a rough day. I definitly know what it's like to have to cancel a trip due to finances. I'm hoping that things work out for you so your trip will still be on!



Thanks, Jeff! And welcome! We LOVE calorie-free cookies! (Di, come over here! )


Thanks Ellen! I've already enjoyed the bounty! YUM! Hope you are doing well Ellen! Hugs to you!



DD made dark chocolate brownies last night. There are a few left. Anyone need a chocolate fix?

Did you forget whom you were talking to? :D



Can you tell I need chocolate??? And I just got an espresso.... look out!!

Oh boy... is that why this thread has been bouncing before my eyes?



That reminds me of a story I heard about a judge that sentences teens to sit in a room and listen to Barney the dinosaur, LOUD, when they are ticketed for excessive noise from their car stereos.


I remember reading about this judge also! I LOVE stories of judges who get creative in their sentencing!!! As they say - let the punishment fit the crime!!! :thumbsup:


Just zooping in to say Good Morning!! I'll be MIA for the next few days. Monday is our fabric intventory, so I'm putting in extra hours to get the fabric all ready and I'm going in early to get the notions counted so I won't be bothered while I'm trying to count. I always love inventory..your counting, a staff member is writing down what I count and they'll ask me a question instead of the free person.

Does anyone have an IV filled with caffine?

You will be missed Carol! Please try to zoop in when you can! I don't have an IV.. but I did get a box of Crystal Light ENERGY packets (strawberry flavor)... only 10 calories and has caffine in it!!! Want one to add to your bottle of water?


Have I told you lately that I love you?

I didn't mean to make this such a post and I know I've left out some, but I've gotto go get ready for DD Amy's graduation luncheon. Her last day is Thursday!!



Awwww.. you are so sweet! I hope someday we can meet! Tenn isn't that far from Ohio..
Early congrats to Amy on her graduation! Have fun at her luncheon!


Good morning all......... and Happy Frid.... oops ! Happy Wednesday ! OK..... I have to admit.... today is Patti's and my Friday so the next couple of days we are starting a resort rehab ! Anyone want to help ?? We hope to be painting and staining the decks, if the weather cooperates.


Happy Day to you too buddy! :fresh: I'll gladly help you out! In fact.. we can bring in the whole JQ Demo/Reno crew! How about we paint that deck a nice rainbow of colors to match your positive and cheery outlook? :D I do hope you have a wonderful weekend Pogo!



I have some muffins, cake or peak frean cookies, which would you like Ken?

Hmmm... only offering your goodies to Ken? Are you trying to get on his good side for some reason? :D



I've got work to do.... 8:30 tee time. See ya later !

:golf: Have a great day at work Pogo!!



Btw Diane I won't be near you I'll be on the other side of the state near West Virginia...

Fresh cinnamon rolls are just coming out of the oven here...just have to make the icing....

Hmmm.. that's only a 2 hour drive from me... sooo close! One of these days I'll get to meet SOMEONE from Intercot!

Mmmm.. I love cinnamon rolls! With lots of icing dripping off the top...


Now why didn't I think of that?


do not make comment about his age.. do not make comment about his age...do NOT make comment about his age...:D

Gee Ken... maybe you are just soooo busy with other stuff that your brain is at capacity?

Help my grandbaby(puppy) needs dentures. Sarah maybe you can help. He's just 13 months, Reilly had some baby teeth pulled yesterday and they found he does not have front teeth. His baby teeth are still there but he has no buds for adult teeth. I guess he will have to stop biting the other pups. Do you think we can fit him for doggie dentures? If anyone remembers he was born premature last year and wasn't expected to live. :puppy: Reilly (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2575948440083799695MdTUIH) at 3 (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2647097360083799695paJaMR) mos and today (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2107943490083799695JiZGse)
He doesn't have his adult coat yet, it takes about 2 years. I feel so bad for him but the vet thinks it's from being born so early. :(



Evening all, sup? LOL Just cleaning up the house a bit, nothing spectacular. This was a long day. Sounds like Medicare is cutting reimbursement rates by 11% so things are going to get tight at work. It's so hard when you know that healthcare will always be there, but when you work in such a small office you worry about every penny. When I've worked for hospitals or larger offices you're not concerned with the money, you don't hear the nitty gritty of it. Oh well, I think everything will be ok, it's just scary with the new PA coming on in September and us hiring a new receptionist.
I'll check in later, haven't had a lot of time to read everything, you all have been VERY chatty today! Talk to you later
hmm.. hope everything settle down and works out. My SIL depends a lot on Medicaid. She's a pediatrician. Don't states vary w/ how they use the money?


Hey guys, just a quick zoop, I haven't read any posts today so if anyone needs it. It's been quite a rough day. We've taken a huge financial blow and it looks like we may have to cancel my birthday trip to WDW in sept. (also supposed to be the baby's first trip) We'll have to wait and see I guess. Anyway, I haven't been in much of a mood for chat. I hope everyones tuesday is going great. Talk to you all soon.
Hope things improve with the crunch. :pixie: back for your worries. I hope you don't have to cancel your trip...

Beth, I have really enjoyed reading your posts and getting to know you and your family.

It's amazing how you can keep up with everyone, I need a cheat sheet for all the names. I feel like you are family b/c my sister used to live in Tenn, Gatlinburg.

I expanded my patio this summer by laying more bricks. I had to do it early b/c of the heat. I widened in by 4 brick lengths on each side. I'm real happy w/ it but what a back killer...

You can try.. but Rhonda is pretty wise to all the tricks I think! :D You could always just put "If" or "What" or "Who" or one of those other 'questionable' words in front of your statement.. that way if she's just skimming maybe her brain won't register that it isn't a 'true' question!

Speaking of questions.. I didn't ask one - did I?

Absolutely, but my dad taught me well!! :)

Carol, good luck. I used to work at a fabric store and I know counting notions is mind numbing at times. So many buttons, zippers, and thread!! AHHHHHH

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Sarah, your work with homeless animals is to be commended. You make such a difference in lives of animals and their people.

Aw Deb, that's so sweet, thanks for saying all that nice stuff about all of us :hug: You're pretty special yourself!

Help my grandbaby(puppy) needs dentures. Sarah maybe you can help.
Poor baby :( This little one has struggled for everything, now he doesn't have any new teeth?? Yikes, unfortunately I think he's swallow the dentures right away!! Or chew on them :D

Inventory, I miss those fun times. Let me help with the counting. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 6.....

I have a red bull IV:silly:.




I'm hoping it will happen. Bruce said he's sure we can go. The problem we're going to run into is getting there. We'll be able to pay off the trip but flights have gotten so expensive, as have rental cars (we don't have a car big enough for all of us) He's convinced that we'll be able to make it but I'm not going to let myself get too excited just in case. My ex owes me thousands and was supposed to pay this weekend, no such luck, and since the doctor took me out of work permanently because my shoulders, knees, ankles and hips dislocate every time I move them, money has ben a little tight. Just keep your fingers crossed because I would love to meet! Bruce's sister is going to pay for a rental car for all of us to go to NYC for the meet this month. Yay! (because she wants to go too.)


:fingers: for you Traci and a little :pixie: too.

The nice thing is... I paid for the round of golf today..... bought an early lunch for my client and I, and made over $1,200 in commissions. Not a bad days work if you ask me. :D


It's a brand name..fairly english style but they have branched out a fair bit.

I thought it was a typo.... sorry. :(

Do I need another question after just posting one?

Well that depends. Do you miss Rhonda? Can you burn more calories typing or not typing the question mark?

Help my grandbaby(puppy) needs dentures. Sarah maybe you can help. He's just 13 months, Reilly had some baby teeth pulled yesterday and they found he does not have front teeth. His baby teeth are still there but he has no buds for adult teeth. I guess he will have to stop biting the other pups. Do you think we can fit him for doggie dentures? If anyone remembers he was born premature last year and wasn't expected to live. :puppy: Reilly (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2575948440083799695MdTUIH) at 3 (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2647097360083799695paJaMR) mos and today (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2107943490083799695JiZGse)
He doesn't have his adult coat yet, it takes about 2 years. I feel so bad for him but the vet thinks it's from being born so early. :(


hmm.. hope everything settle down and works out. My SIL depends a lot on Medicaid. She's a pediatrician. Don't states vary w/ how they use the money?


Hope things improve with the crunch. :pixie: back for your worries. I hope you don't have to cancel your trip...

Any brownies left?


Good luck with the inventory.. I'm sure we can hook you up. Let's see you have plenty of needles over there, I have tubing from the fishtank. Anyone have any plastic bags we can use??


It's amazing how you can keep up with everyone, I need a cheat sheet for all the names. I feel like you are family b/c my sister used to live in Tenn, Gatlinburg.


Why o you get to jump to Friday and I don't??
I expanded my patio this summer by laying more bricks. I had to do it early b/c of the heat. I widened in by 4 brick lengths on each side. I'm real happy w/ it but what a back killer...

I'm not chatting I'm procrastinating.

Question? If I type a statement but put a question mark behind it --do you think Rhonda would notice? :thedolls:



I'm afraid all I have to offer this morning is instant coffee, and Nabisco 100 cal. Lorna Doones. They taste like scrap paper. How is everybody this morning? I finally posted a picture on FB, and it didn't come through in Intercot.

MsMin. My DD is having her old poodles teeth pulled this morning too. Some "pyron" put the old, blind, deaf, poodle out on the edge of the desert to die. Someone riding a horse saw her just marching in place, brought her back to the barn, and DD took her home. They love her so much.

Deb, thank you for all the kind Wed. morning greetings, Did you save a :hug: for yourself?

Pogo, what are you REALLY doing? Painting or swinging a club?

Gotta run my mom to dialysis. One of these days, I'm going to get ahold of multi-quoting, and get our pics on Intercot. They are on FB tho'. Have a GREAT day all.:)

Thanks Pogo! Sometimes you say the sweetest things! :D

Nope.... we get together at 8:30 and drink tee ! :D

That's good Pogo... and how long did it take you to think of that one? :fresh:

Diane.... :fresh:.... I think you look fabulous just the way you are !

Again.. you really are a sweetheart! Thanks!

You said it perfectly ! :D

I don't know.. that accent of yours is a bit hard to mimic.. maybe I need to practice a bit more!

Ok.. I gotta share this with you guys! I'm filling in for the receptionist.. we have an ad in the paper and a sign in front of our building saying we are hiring so we've been swamped with applicants.. many funny things are coming out of these hordes of people coming in for applications.. but this one takes the cake.. just this AM.. this young man comes in and asks to fill out an application. I hand him an information sheet that describes the job and everything and the sheet is on letterhead with our company name and logo on it. He reads it, I ask if he's still interested.. he says yes. So I give him the application, which also has our company name on it. He spends the next hour filling it out then brings it to me. He asks for our company phone number so he can call to check on the application. I give it to him. He goes to leave.. gets to the door.. turns around and in all seriousness asks me....."What company is this?" :jaw:

no problem pogo..you were asking about business I think? It's going pretty well. I had some more sales last week and have another one Thursday and I think Friday. (could be later but I'm pretty sure if it's not Friday it will be shortly after all when the clients call you to book the meeting it's a good sign right?)

And I made 2473 in commisions without having to play golf today so I'm pretty happy about that!

If you call golfing and poking fun at unsuspecting JQers work, well then yeah.

Could you spike his drink with some Nyquil? That would calm him down a bit.

It's actually a her, but you're right, she sometimes comes in in the morning and she's all over the place. Makes me tired just looking at her. I have to go in my office and close the door.

Afternoon all, hope eveyone is well. I'm getting ready to get out of here soon. I'm going to the shelter to train to man our behavioral helpline which will be a lot of fun. You can call and say, "my dogs teeth are falling out (Beth)" and I can give you suggestions on what to do. Actually it's a nice service they provide to answer questions and help people who are struggling with issues with their animals. Looking forward to it!

Congrats on the book sales! That's awesome! Ok here.. getting quite a few chuckles from all the applicants we have coming in! And not because they are 'purposely' being funny... I guess it takes all kinds! Hope you have even more success with your book selling! And hope your eye is getting better with each passing day!

Blythe, I really enjoyed meeting you and Dan in October. I can't wait to meet the rest of your wonderful family in December. I enjoy your posts and your sunny disposition.

Deb, what an absolutely sweet way to start the day -- you are a sweetheart yourself!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make each of us smile and feel loved!! :hug:


I've got work to do.... 8:30 tee time. See ya later !
Rough day, eh??


What's a peak frean cookie?

Peak & Freans are delicious -- English style cookies & biscuits -- yumm!!


Oh... I've already lost 1 1/2 pounds this week! Whatcha think of that?

Way to go!! :thumbsup:


Help my grandbaby(puppy) needs dentures. Reilly (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2575948440083799695MdTUIH) at 3 (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2647097360083799695paJaMR) mos and today (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2107943490083799695JiZGse)
I feel so bad for him but the vet thinks it's from being born so early.

Wow - Reilly is SO cute!! What an absolute little doll... I hope they're able to figure out something for his teeth!!

BTW - thanks everyone for the kitty pixie dust -- Calvin has spend his day at the vet, and Dr. H thinks maybe he just needs his insulin adjusted, but to less instead of more. He's lost weight and Dr. H agrees he's not himself -- he's usually cantankarous and beligerent about getting his blood drawn, and he was apparently pretty mellow, which is totally not him when he's there. (And they all love his crazy, "old man" personality, so when he just laid back and let them work, they knew he wasn't feeling well.... ;)) But his labs and everything else were normal, so they've run glucose tests all day and we'll see what they've got to say at the end of the day. :fingers:


I'm back... Everyone has been so welcoming and nice I couldn't resist reading & posting again today.

For my second day I have warm reduced calorie cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven, anyone interested?

Does JQ's have an addiction disclaimer? If so I think I should have read it before I posted yesterday.
Jeff, you're TOTALLY welcome here -- especially with warm cinnamon rolls!! Any left for us night owls that recently got up??

No disclaimer -- it's kind of like discovering that new flavor of ice-cream and realizing you're in trouble after you've already gotten half-way through the gallon with the same spoon you intended to only have a small bowl with.... :blush: ...and the only self-help program is to find a way to get on here every day.... :crazy:


I'm sure he'll be back, this place is like a train wreck, you don't want to look but can't seem to tear your eyes away.

:funny: Too true, too true!!

So - how's everyone's Wednesday treating them? I'm SO glad I'm only going in for 4hrs tonight... makes me feel lots better than knowing I've got a 12hr shift ahead of me!!

Gotta run and get a few things done around here, but now that I've caught up, I'll (try to) zoop in later!!

Hello, hello you happy peppy people you! ;) I hope that your wednesday is treating you all well. Mine has been pretty great, I've gotten to spend most of it with my beautiful little grandbaby.
Here (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm101/traci_moeller/carter/0628081050c.jpg) he is telling me where to put his toys, and here (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm101/traci_moeller/carter/0628081456b.jpg) he was excited to be outside yet again. And of course here (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm101/traci_moeller/carter/0628081050.jpg) he wanted the camera to take a picture of me. I really can't believe he's almost 8 months old, wow how the time flies. Anybody got any left over cookies or cinnamon rolls? I'm cheating when it comes to making dinner tonight :secret: don't tell the kids it's hamburger helper, they think I slaved over a hot stove. :D Well, I hope you all have a great night, I'm going to grab some couch time with Bruce. Nighty night!
Oh, and those of you who said I made you laugh, thanks so much. If I feel I've brought a smile to someones face it makes my whole day!
BTW, How are we coming with the popsicle stick amusement park? I've got the kids working double time with the sugar free popsicles. They've been complaining of ice cream headaches but hey, sacrifices must be made. :D

OK, I wanted to start this post out on a positive note. I want to thank all of you at JQU for making me feel welcome. For 3 years now I have known that INTERCOT has a wonderful, incredible group of people but I've seen even more of that now. I'm not a very social person usually. I'm painfully shy in person most days, but everyone has made it so easy to be me so I thank you all!!!

Traci, that is very sweet.



My purse is going inside another bag and tucked under my desk, in a corner, where I have to get on my hands and knees to get it. I threw that purse in the garbage. I don't think I can take it anywhere any more. It doesn't feel right carrying it. I got my new iPod today. Gilles decided to get the 8GB Nano instead of the 80GB one.

Carol, I don't blame you one bit for throwing out your old purse. I would have done the exact same thing. Congrats on your new iPod. What color did you get?


I leave for Korea tomorrow...so I just wanted to "zoop" in and say goodbye to everyone! :mickey:
Can't wait to come back on the 10th with great stories and pictures(including raves of Tokyo Disneyland!), and maybe even a JOB! WOOO! :thumbsup:

Have a great time, Greg.


After we bought my new iPod yesterday, I told Gilles it was too bad that I didn't have IASW on my old one. We decided that iPods needed a security system. They need a fingerprint identification system and if it isn't your fingerprint all it'll play is IASW and you can't delete it, shut it off or remove the ear pods from you ear. Do we have an inventor here?


Carol, that is doo darn funny. I have the French version of small wrorld, it's actually kind of pretty. Would you like it?



What part of Ohio are you gonna be in? You know Scott and I both live in Ohio.. at opposite ends of the state!

Diane, didn't know you were from Ohio, which part? North, South, East or West?


He's doing great. We're all very happy.

Awe, give that little guy :baby: a :hug: for us.


It's been quite a rough day. We've taken a huge financial blow and it looks like we may have to cancel my birthday trip to WDW in sept. (also supposed to be the baby's first trip) We'll have to wait and see I guess. Anyway, I haven't been in much of a mood for chat. I hope everyones tuesday is going great. Talk to you all soon.

Traci, I'm sorry. I hope that it will change some how for you. :pixie:


Just zooping in to say Good Morning!! I'll be MIA for the next few days. Monday is our fabric intventory, so I'm putting in extra hours to get the fabric all ready and I'm going in early to get the notions counted so I won't be bothered while I'm trying to count. I always love inventory..your counting, a staff member is writing down what I count and they'll ask me a question instead of the free person.

Good Luck, Carol.


Help my grandbaby(puppy) needs dentures. Sarah maybe you can help. He's just 13 months, Reilly had some baby teeth pulled yesterday and they found he does not have front teeth. His baby teeth are still there but he has no buds for adult teeth. I guess he will have to stop biting the other pups. Do you think we can fit him for doggie dentures? If anyone remembers he was born premature last year and wasn't expected to live. :puppy: Reilly (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2575948440083799695MdTUIH) at 3 (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2647097360083799695paJaMR) mos and today (http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2107943490083799695JiZGse)
He doesn't have his adult coat yet, it takes about 2 years. I feel so bad for him but the vet thinks it's from being born so early. :(


What a little cutie, Beth. I hope that they can do something for this little guy.


Have I told you lately that I love you?

Yes, I'm singing a country song this AM, but reading back over some of these posts made me think of singing it to you today.

Sandy , you are always so bright and chipper in the morning. You always have our morning beverages ready with a smile.

Pogo , you are hilarious but also very wise.

Ellen, you are quite possibly the strongest woman I've ever met. Ben is lucky to have you as a mom. Your employer is lucky too.

Rhonda, thank you for keeping us on the straight and narrow. We are a tough bunch.

Ken, you amaze me with your work, your community activities and family activities.

Traci, I know you have had some trials and tribulations. We are just discovering what an amazing person you are.

Sarah, your work with homeless animals is to be commended. You make such a difference in lives of animals and their people.

Beth, I have really enjoyed reading your posts and getting to know you and your family.

Bethany, I think you must be a great teacher to those little ones. We need more people like you.

Blythe, I really enjoyed meeting you and Dan in October. I can't wait to meet the rest of your wonderful family in December. I enjoy your posts and your sunny disposition.

Scott, I love reading how you and your daughter are so involved in golf together. You must be one terrific dad!

Jym and Rachel, you are a lovely young couple and I kinow you will be two of the best parents in the world to little Alex.

Big Aex, you wear pink tube tops well! We love picking on you because you have such a wonderful sense of humor and you handle it so well.

Marylin. You have written some of the funniest post I'ver ever read here on Intercot. I can't wait to meet you in December!

Carol, you have a wonderful positive energy that comes from you and reaches out to lift us up here on Intercot. You must be wonderful to work with. I'm truly bummed that I won't be seeing you in December.

I didn't mean to make this such a post and I know I've left out some, but I've gotto go get ready for DD Amy's graduation luncheon. Her last day is Thursday!!

I'll get to Jeff, Diane, Mikki, Natalie, the other Deb , Mary and others tonight when I get home.

Deb, that was very sweet. I wish that I could think of stuff like that. :hug:

These are the people that I trying to fight for a job. Uuuuggggghhhhh.

So I get this email today, from my old ISP provider, it says that my account is SEVERLY PAST DUE. Well I cancelled it back in January 2008. Luckily for me I kept all the email, so hopefully they will just cancel it now. I was wondering why I was still getting emails from this very old account. I heard that it's hard to cancel accounts from AOL and some others, hopefully this won't be the case.

Until later, have a good one.

Evening all!! Just got home from the shelter. The behavior line is pretty fun, but I had to talk to some lady about why her chiauaua (sp?) keeps eating kleenex!! Yikes, I told her it won't hurt him but maybe she needs to find something else to give him to chew?? You think?

I also found out that someone brought Loretta back :( She was the Staffordshire Bull Terrier that I walked on that big hike about a month ago. I guess their landlord accepted pit bull mixes until some of the other tenants started complaining that she "looked mean" so the landlord changed his mind and they had to bring her back. I was heartbroken, she's such a great dog, I sure hope they find another home for her.

So I waiting for Mike to get home so we can move the furniture around to have the carpets cleaned tomorrow!! I can't wait, but my house is going to be a wreck in the meantime.

Have a good night :hug: I'll try to check in later.

Now why didn't I think of that? Much more flattering. Maybe I could have said, "You're certainly spry for someone your age."
How is "spry" flattering in this case? (or ANY case?)

Does JQ's have an addiction disclaimer? If so I think I should have read it before I posted yesterday.
No, but we really should start a 10 step recovery program.

I'm sure he'll be back, this place is like a train wreck, you don't want to look but can't seem to tear your eyes away.

:haha::funny:

Carol, I don't blame you one bit for throwing out your old purse. I would have done the exact same thing. Congrats on your new iPod. What color did you get?

Yah, I did the same thing when my car got stolen. By the way, it was red.

So today was my work anniversary - 24 years there (course I started in grade school! :D). I'm just so thrilled, that I'm celebrating by taking tomorrow off.
DH told me today that he wants to buy a new guitar - actually he said "one more" guitar. Course his version is NEVER cheap....but he says I can have anything I want, if he can get it (like I would be able to stop him!). Sooo....I'll have to think about this one....maybe a cruise??? :D (course since I'm the one that pays for the vacations, thats not such a good deal, is it?)

Well, you know Pogo don't quit 'til he gets done with #18, right?

What about when he picks up and gives himself bogey?


Days 4 and 5 are up if anyone's interested. I don't want to get yelled at by a certain someone who will remain nameless for missing a day, Diane. Oops, I said she'd remain nameless didn't I?
Are you back from WDW already Scott?

Carol, I don't blame you one bit for throwing out your old purse. I would have done the exact same thing. Congrats on your new iPod. What color did you get?

The old one was silver, so this time I went with blue.

Carol, that is doo darn funny. I have the French version of small wrorld, it's actually kind of pretty. Would you like it?

Does it drive you crazy like the English version? The problem is there's a lot of people up here that speaks French. There's a large Franco population in the town I live in.
Good Luck, Carol.

Thanks, today I did really well. I put in 12 hours. So far I have earned approx. 12 in lieu hours. I'm trying to get my trip to WDW off as paid work days. :D What a great way to spend time off work but still getting paid as work days!!!

Hello, hello you happy peppy people you! I hope that your wednesday is treating you all well. Mine has been pretty great, I've gotten to spend most of it with my beautiful little grandbaby.
Here (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm101/traci_moeller/carter/0628081050c.jpg) he is telling me where to put his toys, and here (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm101/traci_moeller/carter/0628081456b.jpg) he was excited to be outside yet again. And of course here (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm101/traci_moeller/carter/0628081050.jpg) he wanted the camera to take a picture of me. I really can't believe he's almost 8 months old, wow how the time flies. Anybody got any left over cookies or cinnamon rolls? I'm cheating when it comes to making dinner tonight don't tell the kids it's hamburger helper, they think I slaved over a hot stove. Well, I hope you all have a great night, I'm going to grab some couch time with Bruce. Nighty night!
Oh, and those of you who said I made you laugh, thanks so much. If I feel I've brought a smile to someones face it makes my whole day!
BTW, How are we coming with the popsicle stick amusement park? I've got the kids working double time with the sugar free popsicles. They've been complaining of ice cream headaches but hey, sacrifices must be made.
Traci..... how adorable ! He's one of the cutest DGS's that I've ever seen. :D

Evening all!! Just got home from the shelter. The behavior line is pretty fun, but I had to talk to some lady about why her chihuahua (sp?) keeps eating kleenex!! Yikes, I told her it won't hurt him but maybe she needs to find something else to give him to chew?? You think?

I also found out that someone brought Loretta back She was the Staffordshire Bull Terrier that I walked on that big hike about a month ago. I guess their landlord accepted pit bull mixes until some of the other tenants started complaining that she "looked mean" so the landlord changed his mind and they had to bring her back. I was heartbroken, she's such a great dog, I sure hope they find another home for her.
Have a good night : I'll try to check in later.
I've heard my dd tell stories of dogs that have had intestinal blockages with all kinds of junk caught in their gut. Poor babies some don't make it. My neighbor had two Staffordshire Bull Terriers. She asked my dd to send verification to their new landlord (they were moving) stating they were Staffordshire Bull Terriers and not pit bulls. Some people don't know. Do you think she was just confused as to what type of dog they were? I know some can be real sweet but they can be very protective too.




Afternoon all, hope everyone is well. I'm getting ready to get out of here soon. I'm going to the shelter to train to man our behavioral helpline which will be a lot of fun. You can call and say, "my dogs teeth are falling out (Beth)" and I can give you suggestions on what to do. Actually it's a nice service they provide to answer questions and help people who are struggling with issues with their animals. Looking forward to it!
Hope you all have a great rest of the afternoon I'll check in later!
I don't think there is much we can do to save Reilly's baby teeth. All of the other baby teeth have fallen out already and they had to remove some didn't fall out but left those in.
He couldn't nurse when he was born and we had to express milk from the mom and because we couldn't get enough (never in my life did I think I would do that) we had to supplement. The vet was afraid they might have been blind or very sickly b/c they didn't have enough of the mothers colostrum and the eyes stayed shut too long. I don't think our vet thought they had a chance. We think his vision is bad but he's healthy and lovey. If you hear of anything they do when a dog doesn't have the adult root buds let me know. Thanks...


Pogo, I dun tol' ya that somebody finally had us beat. Are you all older than me?? I always think I'm the :old: one here. I find myself talking to ppl like they are my kids:blush:


I'm wondering if I'm ever going to be able to zoop again... I just can't keep up with you guys!!

Wow - Reilly is SO cute!! What an absolute little doll... I hope they're able to figure out something for his teeth!!

BTW - thanks everyone for the kitty pixie dust -- Calvin has spend his day at the vet, and Dr. H thinks maybe he just needs his insulin adjusted, but to less instead of more. He's lost weight and Dr. H agrees he's not himself -- he's usually cantankarous and beligerent about getting his blood drawn, and he was apparently pretty mellow, which is totally not him when he's there. (And they all love his crazy, "old man" personality, so when he just laid back and let them work, they knew he wasn't feeling well...) But his labs and everything else were normal, so they've run glucose tests all day and we'll see what they've got to say at the end of the day.

It seems like it's grown more complex since I joined. And I was talking to Angel today about stopping by.. She has been so busy too.
Reilly is my little cuddle bug. He's a real fighter and it's just the two bottom teeth (thought it was the two top teeth). So glad to hear Calvin is doing a little better. He sounds like our Maxwell (Reilly's biological dad) He growls at me if I turn over in MY BED at night. He doesn't like to be disturbed...


I'm afraid all I have to offer this morning is instant coffee, and Nabisco 100 cal. Lorna Doones. They taste like scrap paper. How is everybody this morning? I finally posted a picture on FB, and it didn't come through in Intercot.

MsMin. My DD is having her old poodles teeth pulled this morning too. Some "pyron" put the old, blind, deaf, poodle out on the edge of the desert to die. Someone riding a horse saw her just marching in place, brought her back to the barn, and DD took her home. They love her so much.
Marilyn, you're killing me w/ that instant coffee and I've had those cardboard cookies too.
So sorry to hear about your dd's poodle. My dd has had to deal with ppl euthanizing healthy dogs. She said she has learned that she would rather put the dog down than to have them do it in a more cruel fashion. I guess ppl like that are a prime example. It's hard to think of people thinking of leaving a dog to die:mad: I'm so glad they found her. :puppy: My mom's dog was blind for several years. Sending puppy kisses for her from the yorkie gang here.



Because I took the next two days off from work. Now when I go golfing, it's for fun.... understand ????

So you're saying I can't have fun :fresh:


What an absolutely adorable puppy!!!!! Yorkies are soooo cute!!!! Sending him some pixie for his adult teeth to come in!!!

You can try.. but Rhonda is pretty wise to all the tricks I think! :D You could always just put "If" or "What" or "Who" or one of those other 'questionable' words in front of your statement.. that way if she's just skimming maybe her brain won't register that it isn't a 'true' question!
Speaking of questions.. I didn't ask one - did I?
He's my baby (but don't let the others hear it, even the kids are jealous. He is now 14 mos and those baby teeth are loose. Thank goodness he is only missing two.


Hello, hello you happy peppy people you! I hope that your wednesday is treating you all well. Mine has been pretty great, I've gotten to spend most of it with my beautiful little grandbaby.

What a beautiful grandbaby, mine is just a furbaby. ;)
I'm finished with the POTC. I think that swamp scene got me in enough hot water. Lets see, Diane loves stitch doesn't she? Maybe she will do the Stitch... We can help her make that chili hot dog smell :ack:
can I build Cinderella's castle?



What a little cutie, Beth. I hope that they can do something for this little guy.

I'm hoping that when those teeth fall out the other teeth just spread out to fill in the gap.
Maybe the spaces will help keep him from getting gum disease? Thanks for your well wishes..

Just zooping in to say hi! Today was a big day for us... I got a lovely "High Impact" bonus at work and I used it to get Ben his own laptop. I know... he's only 12. But it's something I've wanted to do for my very creative son. Yes, he's spoiled and he even asked me if he was while we were having dinner at Panera. I told him that yes, by some people's standards, he IS spoiled and that is my great blessing to be able to spoil him. We don't have that much but I choose to use what I do have for him. And the fact that I'm still here after seven years (my cancerversary was last month) is a huge blessing in itself. So if he's spoiled, it's my fault. On the other hand, he's planning on getting a job as soon as he can (he's so waiting to turn 14 for that).

Anyone watching Food Network tonight? Robert Irvine is at WDW tonight!

I saw in passing that Deb said something very sweet about us all, me included. Thanks, birthday twin! :hug: You are so special!

T&G, congrats on 24 years! That's a huge accomplishment! And gee,they even gave you Friday off! ;)

Congrats on the bonus, Ellen, thats so cool! As far as being spoiled, I think of spoiled as a child who gets everything AND EXPECTS everything. I think its wonderful that you are able to do these things, and he fully appreciates it. Congrats on the cancerversary - and many, many more!

Just home from work -- remember when I said the other night that everyone in Syracuse must've been trying to have their babies on the same night? Well, tonight, they sent all their friends, and then some. We had no beds -- and we had three transports/ambulances arrive at the same time. It was nuts -- I was glad to be able to leave at 11:30!! :crazy:


Some of us have had a problem of this sort, have we? :cool:

:noevil:


So today was my work anniversary - 24 years there (course I started in grade school!). I'm just so thrilled, that I'm celebrating by taking tomorrow off.
Wow!! 24 years... that's amazing. I've been at my hospital 6yrs., and that's the longest I've been anywhere except with my DH! ;) Of course, I'll probably still be there 20 yrs. from now, which is a totally frightening thought.....

Have fun on your day off tomorrow! Watcha gonna do??

Ellen, Ben is so not spoiled... he's a great kid!! And you know what? I was in the gift shop at work a few weeks ago, and the two older women who volunteer there were talking about their kids, and the fact that they both probably spoiled them -- but that they gave them tons of love and responsibility too, and they grew up to be great, productive adults who learned how to give, too. So just think of it as life lessons!

And BIG congrats on your cancerversary... I think you are amazing, and I hope I get to celebrate many more with you!! :hug:


Its amazing how relaxed you get the split second you decide to take the next day off!

You are so right on that one... just goes to show how important time to yourself away from "the grind" is!! Enjoy it!!

Ellen, I've heard several times that only child kids are always spoiled, but if we can't share with our child, who else are you going to share with. I think it's great he wants to work as soon as he's old enough. Andrea was the same way. A truly spoiled child wouldn't want to work, they wouldn't have too.(I know a few of them and they aren't only children and they are in their 20's)

Congratulations on your cancerversay...wouldn't it be great if nobody any where would ever have to have them?

I told him that yes, by some people's standards, he IS spoiled and that is my great blessing to be able to spoil him. We don't have that much but I choose to use what I do have for him. And the fact that I'm still here after seven years (my cancerversary was last month) is a huge blessing in itself. So if he's spoiled, it's my fault. On the other hand, he's planning on getting a job as soon as he can (he's so waiting to turn 14 for that).

Anyone watching Food Network tonight? Robert Irvine is at WDW tonight!


Wasn't that a good show? I have my Tivo set to tape all those Food Impossible shows, but just happen to switch over and watch it. Loved seeing all of the theme parks.

Ellen, congrats on your bonus. :thumbsup: For all that you both have been through you should spoil Ben and he deserve it. I can't wait to meet you in December.



What is everyone planning to do for the 4th?

Mary, I have enjoyed your posts so much since you joined us here. You kindly take time to touch each of us individually.


Thanks Deb, that is very sweet. :hug: I try :blush: But with pogo it's kind of hard. :fresh:

I actually have this weekend off, my first of many now. I can actually go to my cousin who is having a beach party. Looks like it will be a nice day too.


Hi guys, mind if I join you?

Howdy Angel, :wave: definitely come join the fun. Just remember to bring cookies.


Guys I'll be scarce today preparing for company.
Play nice.:D

Good luck with the preparations, have fun and enjoy Deb!

Hi guys, mind if I join you?
Welcome, Angel. The orientation team should be along shortly to help you make the adjustment to campus life here. Of course, the first place they'll orient you to is the baking kitchens, where the cookies get made. At the moment, we're having a summer camp break and everyone is making popsicle stick replicas of their favorite WDW attractions.

I'll be off soon to sell more books (I hope). Yesterday went well for all of us.

Who's got the coffee this morning? I haven't seen Sandy yet.

Ken, coffee is on. Angel welcome! Don't listen to Pogo apparently he's still learning the rules,
Alex want's everything names after him apparently. Have you booked your trip to Alexandria yet or does that not count?

Deb good luck with your company this is our first weekend without company in a month. I'm so looking forward to it! And Deb how sad is it that I noticed shoes in a real estate show? Christian Louboutin in particular..sigh.

I'm sure I'll pop in again later as my first meeting is here in town so I'm not headed in to the office.

Hi guys, mind if I join you?

I have been crazy busy and not on the boards much. If I am going to come back I guess I should start with some schooling.... what better place than JQU?

Would someone like to catch me up in 10 pages or less?
Welcome Angel! Nice to have you! If you go back a few pages, you'll see all the rules Pogo & I posted for Jeff... ignore his, stick by mine & you'll do just fine! :D (and bring lots and lots of cookies.... :thumbsup:)

And no, you'll never catch up... none of us do. ;)



Play nice.:D
:rotfl: :funny:


Alex Bay? They named a bay after me too? First Alex Nahtazu, now Alex Bay. Jealous Pogo?

From now on, shall we call you Alexandria then? :)


Who's got the coffee this morning? I haven't seen Sandy yet.
I've got the coffee -- Dan made a double pot before he headed off to parts unknown to find loot. :pirate:

Good luck today, Ken!!

I hope you all have a great day.... I'm on uncharacteristically early, as I've just got too much on my list. I'll try to zoop in as I can!! Later all!

So I have to pack for 10 days today and I'm really dreading it. Do you think I'll be able to do it and not have to be charged extra for the over 50 lb limit?

Welcome Angel, feel free to join me in the bakery.....with all these newbies I'm having a hard time keeping up with the demand! I'm making a big 4th of July cake for all the campers here.....it will be square and decorated like the flag with whipped cream, strawberries and blueberries. :flag:

It's hard.. but I REALLY wanna look good for my upcoming Vow Renewal day and my 'honeymoon'.. also.. I got the Slim Fast Optima shakes and they really do hold off my hunger for 4 hours so that is helping quite a bit!
Diane that is so cool that you are doing a vow renewal. Congrats! I think I may try to pick up some Slim Fast myself.


He's just 13 months, Reilly had some baby teeth pulled yesterday and they found he does not have front teeth. premature last year and wasn't expected to live.

I love Yorkies! Both my mom & brother have them. Here is some :pixie: for Reilly's teeth.


Hey Ashley, I forgot to ask, is your mom coming to NYC? She is quite possibly one of the sweetest people I have ever met!
Traci you are so sweet, she loved meeting you too. She is coming with me. She is going back to Florida in August. :( At least she lives only 25 minutes from WDW so I will be seeing her soon.


Ok.. I gotta share this with you guys! I'm filling in for the receptionist.. we have an ad in the paper and a sign in front of our building saying we are hiring so we've been swamped with applicants.. many funny things are coming out of these hordes of people coming in for applications.. but this one takes the cake.. just this AM.. this young man comes in and asks to fill out an application. I hand him an information sheet that describes the job and everything and the sheet is on letterhead with our company name and logo on it. He reads it, I ask if he's still interested.. he says yes. So I give him the application, which also has our company name on it. He spends the next hour filling it out then brings it to me. He asks for our company phone number so he can call to check on the application. I give it to him. He goes to leave.. gets to the door.. turns around and in all seriousness asks me....."What company is this?" :jaw:
They actually walk among us. Scary. lol.



Calvin has spend his day at the vet, and Dr. H thinks maybe he just needs his insulin adjusted, but to less instead of more
Blythe I am glad to hear that Calvin is doing better.


I've gotten to spend most of it with my beautiful little grandbaby.
BTW, How are we coming with the popsicle stick amusement park?
Carter is the cutest! Can I make the haunted mansion?




So today was my work anniversary - 24 years there (course I started in grade school! :D). I'm just so thrilled, that I'm celebrating by taking tomorrow off.
Congrats on 24 years and enjoy your day off.:)

Morning all!! I read through everyone's posts but I didn't have the energy to quote, it's too early. So is today everyone's Friday? I guess except the people that took today off. I'm leaving early so that I can go get my carpets cleaned, WOO HOO!! Mike and I spent last night moving things off the carpet and into the closets, bathrooms, etc. It's not until you move your furniture that you realize how yucky the floor really is :blush:

What does everyone have planned this weekend? I'm going to go to my best friend's house on Saturday for a birthday party for her littlest one. Her husband almost severed his finger the other day at work so I'm not sure if it's called off, but knowing them, probably not. She cracks me up because she says I'm one of the few people that understand what she goes through with her husband. Mike and I have been in the ER so many times with motorcycle and work mishaps that it doesn't seem to phase me anymore. Broken collarbone, check. Broken shoulder blade, check. Broken ribs, check. Broken wrists, check. And on and on and on!! :D

Everyone have a great day, I'll check in later :hug:

Its not really all its cracked up to be - but it pays the bills. Its just hard to fathom that I have spent over half my life working the same place.
So.... if I do the math.... that makes you...like 47 years old ??? :D

Diane , we can always count on you to :fresh: Pogo and that such a fun thing to watch here on JQ.
Boy... I'm glad you enjoy it ! OK.... this is for Sis's enjoyment....

Oh Diane..... :fresh: Wow.. I enjoyed that too !

Are you trying to skirt the rules?



And, you're trying to help her! For shame!



Neither am I, but I can tell you that it should be spelled "Hubba-Hubba".



I believe that was Hubba Bubba.



Anyone see anything resembling a question in that post?
One of these days I'll slip one by you... you'll see !


Wow!! 24 years... that's amazing. I've been at my hospital 6yrs., and that's the longest I've been anywhere except with my DH! Of course, I'll probably still be there 20 yrs. from now, which is a totally frightening thought.....

Wow ! Dan's so bad you are afraid of spending another twenty years with him ???? And here I was thinking he's a nice guy ! I ought to :boxing: him the next time I see him. :mad:

Hi guys, mind if I join you?
OMG.... not another one from the bayou ! Did Beth recruit you to help her torture me ???

Welcome Angel.... you will love the madness here.

Guys I'll be scarce today preparing for company.
I'll miss you Sis ! :D

Alex Bay? They named a bay after me too? First Alex Nahtazu, now Alex Bay. Jealous Pogo?


:shake:

I can't wait for you to find out the truth.

Have you booked your trip to Alexandria yet or does that not count?
Paying attention yet, Alexandria ??

From now on, shall we call you Alexandria then?
Yeah Alexandria..... want to put your other foot in your mouth ???

I wont publicly chastise you for leaving me out of not one, but two lists....
Ha ha Cousin.. I made it on her first page !

So I have to pack for 10 days today and I'm really dreading it. Do you think I'll be able to do it and not have to be charged extra for the over 50 lb limit?
I think you can do it..... just remember... it will be very warm in New Mexico and you'll probably buy some clothing there. Enjoy !



Anybody doing anything fun this weekend?
We are doing a resort rehab this weekend, but we are also going to our DGD's birthday party on Saturday. She'll be three !

Whew.. keeping up with this thread is wearing me out! I'm back up at the receptionist desk today so I'll be dealing with applicants all day again.. not sure if I have the patience today for it... I tried to read most of the posts.. but ended up skimming in between phone calls, VP coming up behind me and all these applicants.. if I missed anyone/thing I'm sorry!



Days 4 and 5 are up if anyone's interested. I don't want to get yelled at by a certain someone who will remain nameless for missing a day, Diane. Oops, I said she'd remain nameless didn't I?

I wasn't yelling.. I was just 'talking' rather loudly! Besides.. it was more like 'strongly encouraging you to get them posted" :D



Diane, didn't know you were from Ohio, which part? North, South, East or West?


I'm from southern Ohio.. inbetween Dayton and Cincy. I see you list yourself as "Great Lake State".. which one?



So today was my work anniversary - 24 years there (course I started in grade school! . I'm just so thrilled, that I'm celebrating by taking tomorrow off.


Congrats on your work anniversary! 24 years! WOW! That's a long time to be in one place! Hope you have fun on your day off!



Di the hiring stories are too funny. Keep them coming as your just cracking me up. (and since I'm not dieting the calorie burn is likely a good idea no?)

Glad you are enjoying them... it's really been 'entertaining' to say the least...and scary! These people come in and sit in the lobby.. then when they leave I glance over the applications to make sure everything has been filled out and I see they are 'conviced felons'.. but the best are the ones that just barely speak our language.. you just gotta wonder how they expect to work if they can't understand our language.. do they think we'll hire their 'interpreter' also?



OK Scott...... I'll go and check it out. By the way.... when I say Diane... it is always followed by :fresh: !


:fresh: Right back atcha!!!


Just zooping in to say hi! Today was a big day for us... I got a lovely "High Impact" bonus at work and I used it to get Ben his own laptop. And the fact that I'm still here after seven years (my cancerversary was last month) is a huge blessing in itself.



Congrats on the bonus and MAJOR congrats on your cancerversary!!! You are such a strong and wonderful person! You deserve many more blessings in your life! As always you are in my prayers!!!!!


Diane , we can always count on you to :fresh: Pogo and that such a fun thing to watch here on JQ.


Glad that me and Pogo can amuse everyone! You are such a sweetheart Deb! I really hope to meet you someday!



And, you're trying to help her! For shame!

I'm sorry. I was just trying to be friendly. Can I ever be forgiven?


I believe that was Hubba Bubba.

Hmmm... or maybe it was Hubba Bubble??? You really have me wondering here.

Anyone see anything resembling a question in that post?

Get him good Rhonda!!!Make him squirm in his seat! :D




Anybody have any :magic: out there they can send my way so I can get everything done???

Sending you boatloads that you will get it all done! HEY! Pogo is off today! I bet he'd be more than happy to help since he has NOTHING to do! :D


Hi guys, mind if I join you?

I have been crazy busy and not on the boards much. If I am going to come back I guess I should start with some schooling.... what better place than JQU?

Would someone like to catch me up in 10 pages or less?

Welcome Angel! Are you SURE you wanna join in the madness? There is no catching up once you are behind so just dive on in! As others said.. not too many rules.. just bring cookies and lots of them (calorie free is always welcome!).. and do NOT, under ANY circumstances, believe ANYTHING that Pogo or Alex tell you! :D But DO pick on them at every opportunity! And don't forget your question or else something very bad will happen... it used to be getting the no no smilie.. but I'm hearing whispers of something about being forced to wear an Ipod that plays an endless loop of IASW.



I'll be off soon to sell more books (I hope). Yesterday went well for all of us.

Who's got the coffee this morning? I haven't seen Sandy yet.

Good luck today with the book selling! Sorry.. no coffee here...I do have some Crystal Light packets if you want those.



How is everybody this fine Thursday morning???

Hi Jenn! Nice to see you! I'm ok.. just dealing with a full lobby of applicants.. (one smells like a smoke stack and it's near killing me...) Hope you have a wonderful day!


Diane that is so cool that you are doing a vow renewal. Congrats! I think I may try to pick up some Slim Fast myself.

..Anybody doing anything fun this weekend?[/FONT]

Thanks! If you do the Slim Fast make sure you still get in at least 1,200 calories a day. I have one in the AM, one at lunch then eat a sensible dinner.

Nothing much fun this weekend. Grilling out tomorrow with family if we dont' get rained out.

welp.. work is calling... gotta bolt!

Good morning everyone, just a quick zoop because I've got the grandbaby to myself for about an hour. I will catch up with everyone in a bit.
Rhonda, don't go easy on those old timers that disregard the rules. ;)



Traci you are so sweet, she loved meeting you too. She is coming with me. She is going back to Florida in August. :( At least she lives only 25 minutes from WDW so I will be seeing her soon.
Can't wait to see you both again!

Well, the kids ate a bunch of the popsicles so i fed-exed pogo some sticks and I just finished my raft to take us all to Tom Sawyers Island. Who's building the Hall of Presidents? I think I'll do The COP next.

Hi guys, mind if I join you?
Would someone like to catch me up in 10 pages or less? ;)
Welcome Angel! No need to try to catch up, just remember Blythe's list, and you will be fine! By the way, are you joining this crazy bunch in December?


Aren't you late for work?
Nope! I took the day off - Yay!! :D

Yes, and it's only $6.95 per box.
Youch!! Thats not worth it - even if they included the roadkill....

So.... if I do the math.... that makes you...like 47 years old ??? :D

Maybe your sis can tutor you on math? :D

So who turned on the thunderboomers at 3 in the morning? Or was that just the alarm clocks of you eastcoasters? WOW, what a noisy night! I finally gave up and got up about 5 - and its my day off!!

May try to see a movie with the girls today - any suggestions?

One more thing - please send pixie dust to those in CA who are dealing with the wild fires. My nephew is one of the firefighters battling those blazes. Maybe extra pixie dust for his safety, too?

Nope.... never said that. I'm looking forward to seeing you have fun in December, remember ??
Never know what ????

So glad you joined us. Angel you have to read from the inception and then there is an exam asking about the founders and the initial thread. If you don't pass the exam you can still join but will have to go through initiation.
Let me guess you brought some low fat weight watcher cookie that has no flavor right???


Angel, it is about time you joined us! What kind of cookies do you bring us today?
Guys I'll be scarce today preparing for company.
Play nice.
Company? I'm sure many of us can make it by late tonight if we leave now... make room at the table and keep the food warm..



One more thing - please send pixie dust to those in CA who are dealing with the wild fires. My nephew is one of the firefighters battling those blazes. Maybe extra pixie dust for his safety, too?
:pixie: for a fast resolution to the fires and for the safety of all involved.

I brought ICE CREAM cookies today. I have a variety of flavors. They come with a stick too because we need more sticks...

So Angel what's your job here? IS there such thing as department of trouble making???

Wow! That's quite an accomplishment. You deserve a pat on the back (lean a little more to the left, I can't quite reach)

I'm afraid all I have to offer this morning is instant coffee, and Nabisco 100 cal. Lorna Doones. They taste like scrap paper.
:funny: That describes those cookies perfectly. Then again, sounds like some of the cookies I've made too. :blush:


You really crack me up!!! :D
Then my job here is done. ;)


Zzzzooooop.

Sold some books already this morning. Had to come home and do my eye drops. Everybody OK?
Bye.
Way to go!! I can see why you've sold some, I expect that you'll sell a lot more!


Ok.. I gotta share this with you guys! I'm filling in for the receptionist.. we have an ad in the paper and a sign in front of our building saying we are hiring so we've been swamped with applicants.. many funny things are coming out of these hordes of people coming in for applications.. but this one takes the cake..
Umm, Can you say DUH?


Wow..... how old are you ????? That is a VERY dangerous question!



BTW - thanks everyone for the kitty pixie dust -- Calvin has spend his day at the vet, and Dr. H thinks maybe he just needs his insulin adjusted, but to less instead of more.
I'm glad to hear that the news was good about Calvin!


He's adorable! That first pic really made me laugh. What a cute face!
Thanks, I love the "telling you what to do" face that he seems to get. It just cracks me up.


Traci, that is very sweet.
It's true and that's what counts. :thumbsup:


Around this place it should be roadkill helper, right Mary?
Oops, I forgot about that.


What a beautiful grandbaby, mine is just a furbaby.
Your furbaby is too cute!


I'm finished with the POTC. I think that swamp scene got me in enough hot water. Lets see, Diane loves stitch doesn't she? Maybe she will do the Stitch... We can help her make that chili hot dog smell .
can I build Cinderella's castle?
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to build the castle, but can we leave the smells out? :sick:



Just zooping in to say hi! Today was a big day for us... I got a lovely "High Impact" bonus at work and I used it to get Ben his own laptop.
Ellen, I think there is a huge difference between priviliged and spoiled. When I hear the word spoiled I think of a child that throws fits and acts like a creep until they get what they want. (hence the saying "spoiled rotten) I have met MANY children who've been given a lot but also appreciate everything they've been given and it sounds like Ben falls into that category. I don't know if that makes sense but I wanted to put my :twocents: in.

Hi! Just a quick zoop from Seattle! I did not get to read through any posts. Sorry :(

Just wanted to let everybody know that I got out here okay. I'm switching hotels today :( I like this one; it's very nice, but the rest of the extended family is getting in today and they are all staying at the same hotel. Not this one. So, I have internet here but I won't know about the other one until I get there. I may be VERY far behind in JQ by the time I get to my parent's house later this week!

Can you slow it down a bit for me please? It will give me less catching up to do. :D

Okay -- that was my quick zoop... gotta run and take the girls over to a friend's house for a birthday party. We won't be back 'til about 8pm and then the MiL will be with us, so not sure how much I'll be on. But I'll check in to make sure you're all listening to Deb and playing nice!! ;)

Afternoon all! OMG I am so ready to get out of here today. I have no motivation to complete this day. Nevermind the fact that I'm going home to have the carpets cleaned and then spending the rest of the evening moving furniture back, doing laundry, and cleaning up. Oh well, having the carpet clean will be worth it! Then a long three day weekend to recover!

What did everyone have for lunch? I had some little chicken tacos, pretty good, from Schwans. Does anyone else get delivery from them? They deliver to my work so I order online and they bring it here. We have a full sized freezer at work so it's great. They have really good food and it cuts down on how much I have to go to the grocery store for frozen food/dinner planning stuff.

Well I guess I'll get on with my afternoon. I'll check in after the carpet guy leaves. :hug: to all, love ya guys!!

Ok.. I HAVE to share this one.. you want a good chuckle Nat - listen up! Just got a phone call from a gentleman who sounded like he had an Australian accent.. anywhooo.. he started right in on chewing me out over the fact that he has left messages all week for our HR dept. and has not recieved a call back. I asked him if he was calling to check on his application.. very snootily he told me that his reason for calling is a personal matter and it's besides the point.. the point is it's very unprofessional for us to not return phone calls.. I mean this guy was letting me have it. He asked to speak to our vice president.. I told him he was out for the day.. he kept on me about how unprofessional we were and all this.. I finally asked him to hold and I would see if our HR person was in the building. She wasn't so I told the man I would take his name and number and personally tell her that he called and he could leave her another message. But can you believe someone who wants to be hired by our company would call and raise heck with a person who works for that company??? I told our HR about it and told her flat out that I would like her to mark his application as "do not hire".. you don't go calling a company you wish to be hired by and tell them they are unprofessional and chew people out.. do you? Maybe I'm old fashioned? Tell you what.. these applicants are gonna drive me to drink!



Well, the kids ate a bunch of the popsicles so i fed-exed pogo some sticks... .

So would that make them "pogo sticks"? :D



May try to see a movie with the girls today - any suggestions?

One more thing - please send pixie dust to those in CA who are dealing with the wild fires. My nephew is one of the firefighters battling those blazes. Maybe extra pixie dust for his safety, too?

Have you already seen Wall E? I'm hoping to get DH to take me this weekend to see it.

Lots of pixie dust going to CA! And I've already said a prayer for your nephew's safety!


I'm no longer the newest poster does that mean I'm off cookie duty?

If I don't make it back later today have a good 4th:flag:!

Off cookie duty? :funny: Did you hear that guys? He thinks he can get off cookie duty!!! :funny:



What? You want to stop bringing cookies??

SECURITY!!! :D

Girls - think it's time to break out the wax strips again?



How is everyone's afternoon going?

My afternoon is going.. how about yours?


It will give me less catching up to do.

Catsup??? Did she just ask for catsup??? Hey! Who has some catsup for her? :D



What did everyone have for lunch? I had some little chicken tacos, pretty good, from Schwans. Does anyone else get delivery from them?


I had a slim fast shake and some grapes. Your chicken tacos sound yummy! We carry Schwan's products here where I work. And one of their locations is just a hop, skip and a couple jumps from my house. They are pretty good stuff!

Di that is funny! Are you hiring for head clown perchance? Is that the role? Seems like your truly attracting some nutty ones.

Jeff, you pretty much never get off cookie duty it seems. Though at times it can be varied to include cake, chips etc.

Don't you just love how people apply for jobs? I get people telling me how much they want to make an hour, the hours they want and don't want to work. Excuse me, but I'm the one hiring and I won't be needing you if you think you'll tell me this stuff. For us it's they aren't going to work nights and weekends....on our help wanted sign it says you must work nights and weekends...duh!!!

Maybe Alexandria will come and work for us, Di. Do you think he could handle it?

Think we'd get 'normal' people if we were hiring a 'clown' position? I can add something.. seems he did leave a message for the HR AND he really chewed her out big time in it... I asked her to check his application and make sure he wasn't convicted on any type of aggravated menacing charge or anything like that..

Pretty much anything chocolate Jeff.. and keep 'em coming! :D

I'm from southern Ohio.. inbetween Dayton and Cincy. I see you list yourself as "Great Lake State".. which one?
Up north of you, in Michigan. Near Bay City.


Youch!! Thats not worth it - even if they included the roadkill....
I know I was going to get a couple box, but saw the price. No way. The area is a very tourist city up north where a lot of people from Chicago and the Detroit area go for vacation.

Sounds yummy, Sarah. I had a salad homemade from Kroger. Always wanted to order from Schwans, but never have. Their food look good.

Everyone have a good 4th. Anyone have a question I can borrow?

I have been crazy busy and not on the boards much. If I am going to come back I guess I should start with some schooling.... what better place than JQU?
Uh, oh! Here comes trouble! Somehow once Beth joined up, I knew you weren't far behind! I can't wait to see what kind of mischief you'll get into here. As a longtime poster over here, I relieve you of cookie duties. You, my dear, are to bring hot, fresh beignets. And some nice cafe au lait would be nice too! :eat: And the best thing is that unlike Cafe du Monde, yours will be calorie free. (0 point beignets... does it get any better?)

And speaking of Beth, that Reilly is THE cutest dog I've seen in a long time! What a doll! Sorry to hear that he and some of our other JQ furbabies are having issues. Pet :pixie: for them!

And while I'm at it, more super duper :pixie: for JQ-2nd Generation who are ailing (and that's for present and former JQers).


I thought I was the only one Jenn....I guess we're just chopped liver.


So I have to pack for 10 days today and I'm really dreading it. Do you think I'll be able to do it and not have to be charged extra for the over 50 lb limit?
Yum! Chopped liver! (Again, the emphasis on the NO CAL chopped liver.) Must be the roids kicking in! :blush:

Hey, where are you going? Somewhere today I saw advice of packing your clothes within one color scheme so that you can mix and match.


Well, the kids ate a bunch of the popsicles so i fed-exed pogo some sticks and I just finished my raft to take us all to Tom Sawyers Island. Who's building the Hall of Presidents? I think I'll do The COP next.
Gee, wooden popsicle sticks. Hall of Presidents. :idea: I know... can I do our First President? ;)



So would that make them "pogo sticks"?
Di, that is hysterical! :funny:

To everyone who asked, YES... go see Wall-E. Great movie. We saw it last weekend. Tomorrow we're heading over to see Get Smart, and will indulge in Nathan's hot dogs (it's sad living in an apartment and not getting to bbq on the 4th). And then we'll settle in at night to watch Macy's fireworks on TV. It would be different if they still shot them off from the Statue of Liberty as I can see that from our local pier, but now they only do them on the East River. I don't do crowds... UNLESS we're at Disney.

Okay, enough procrastinating for me. Time to get back to work and finish up an article so that the subject of said article can review it. I want, need and must get it done so I can get to enjoying my 4 day weekend! (We have Monday off too. :D)

Evening all!! So the carpet guy left a while ago and I've spent the last hour trying to put my house back together! Yikes. I don't like wet and I don't like footprints all over my tile from wet feet (mine and the animals) BUT the carpets look great!! Now just waiting for Mike to get home so he can help me with the rest. I can't wait till everything is back in it's place and looking good.

Any cool plans this weekend? Nothing on our end, I want to relax tomorrow and FINALLY have a day off with Mike and just hang out. Hope you all have a good night, I'll check in later :hug:

Did we say cafe au lait? Ellen what would you like BBQd? I'm close enough to the border for a little spill over July 4th action don't ya think?

Afterall from here one drives north to get to the good old USA which doesn't happen often unless one is close to Alaska perhaps.

I'm feeling more of a steak thing then hot dogs if you don't mind though. Perhaps even a :marg: to go with? Then perhaps a nice red zin from California? And to end the night perhaps some nice ice cream sandwiches?

Di, that is too funny... what a dork. (Can I use that word?? :blush:) It amazes me what people say while they want a job....


Alexandria? Did I miss something somewhere?
aka Alex.... he's thinking everyone's naming everything after him, and as we're headed to Alexandria Bay tomorrow but I shortened it to "Alex Bay", he thought maybe he was really hitting the big time.... so now he's Alexandria... :D


Any cool plans this weekend?
We're headed up north to Cape Vincent for the weekend tomorrow morning -- fireworks and boat cruises on the 1000 Islands tomorrow and Saturday. Ought to be fun, and hopefully relaxing!!

So - how's everyone's short week?? (And for those w/o a short week, how's Thursday finishing up for you??) We're going to crash early and try for a good night's sleep... not too much sleep for the past few days/nights and a little too much :wine: at the birthday party (:blush:) and I'm ready for bed! I may pop in again later, though... we'll see... hope you're all having a good night!!

If you could send extra pixie dust, I would appreciate it. My nephew is fighting the Big Sur fire. He fell yesterday (on his birthday, no less) trying to get out of the way of a falling burning tree, and severly sprained his ankle. But he is so determined, he had them tape it up, and he is back on the lines.

Always wanted to order from Schwans, but never have. Their food look good.

Funny you should say that, the Schwan guy came by a week or so ago, and dropped off a catalog. DD6 has been perusing and making a list of all the ice cream she wants. She can't read much yet, but she is finding the pictures she likes, and copying down the names. Its hilarious.

UNLESS we're at Disney.

I'm with you on the crowds. We normally don't go to any big displays, although we have one here that is supposed to be the biggest one west of the Mississippi. Its great....and so is the traffic jam afterward to get home.

We're headed up north to Cape Vincent for the weekend tomorrow morning -- fireworks and boat cruises on the 1000 Islands tomorrow and Saturday. Ought to be fun, and hopefully relaxing!!

That sounds like sooo much fun! Do you camp? Stay in a cabin? It sounds great! Enjoy!

I took the older two girls to see Hancock this afternoon. It was good....not great. Started out good, but kind of fizzled out. We wanted to see Wall-E, but DH and DD6 want to go, so we will do that all together.

Jym - how are Rachel and 'lil Alex? Did you get moved?

You tell him to be careful. :pixie: on the way for him and his fellow fighters. Rough, tough job, they're all heroes.

I agree about the crowds and fireworks displays too. I'll gladly be in a mob of people to watch fireworks at Disney World, but nowhere else.

Did I tell ya'll that our anniversary day of trip report is up? It's a LONG one, but boy, did we have fun.

Happy Fourth of July JQU! (I feel comfortable saying that since it's only a little over an hour from now here)

So I have to pack for 10 days today and I'm really dreading it. Do you think I'll be able to do it and not have to be charged extra for the over 50 lb limit?

I'm making a big 4th of July cake for all the campers here.....it will be square and decorated like the flag with whipped cream, strawberries and blueberries.
I hope you make it with the suitcase, I'm thinking this will be impossible for our next trip. Have a safe and happy trip and save me some of that cake. My great aunt used to make it and it was always one of my faves!



So who turned on the thunderboomers at 3 in the morning? Or was that just the alarm clocks of you eastcoasters? WOW, what a noisy night! I finally gave up and got up about 5 - and its my day off!!
That's too funny, I haven't heard anyone call them thunderboomers since my dad was around. Thanks for triggering that memory for me. :D


JQer's sure consumes a lot of cookies.
What are you trying to say? :scale:


[FONT="Palatino Linotype"]I saw it last weekend and I thought it was so good. I think they did a great job with the emotions btwn the characters. I hope you enjoy it tooThanks for the review, I can't wait to see it!


Hi! Just a quick zoop from Seattle! I did not get to read through any posts. ust wanted to let everybody know that I got out here okay. I'm switching hotels today I like this one; it's very nice, but the rest of the extended family is getting in today and they are all staying at the same hotel. Not this one. So, I have internet here but I won't know about the other one until I get there. I may be VERY far behind in JQ by the time I get to my parent's house later this week!

Can you slow it down a bit for me please? It will give me less catching up to do.
Glad you made it safe and sound. I'll try to shut these guys up a bit so that you don't fall far behind but I wouldn't count on it. :blah: Have a great time for the rest of your trip.


Did I mention Rhonda's HEAD of SECURITY!!???
Yes, I think you mentioned that, doesn't she like cookies too?


Maybe Alexandria will come and work for us, Di. Do you think he could handle it?
You'll have to make sure the uniform involves a pink tube top.



Gee, wooden popsicle sticks. Hall of Presidents. I know... can I do our First President?
:funny:

Man, I really miss the Schwann's guy. You guys have to stop doing this to me!!! There are a few things I miss from down there that we don't have up here. I use to buy stuff from the Schwann's guy at least once a month. My DD use to always have a list of things she wanted....most of the time it was everything in the catalog.

Emily, have a great trip.

My :mcoffee: is instant again. The cookies are going on the grill. It's 114 today, (or will be), so we don't even have to light the grill.

I'm spending the day at DD's watching over her blind / deaf poodle that had all it's teeth pulled Wed. She's old, and isn't handling the recovery well. DD took her back to the Vet yesterday,. He started an I.V. and gave her some pain meds that can be injected into the tubing. There's not much to do in somebody else's house, so will clean one of my "quints", and get it ready for the kiln.

Everybody have a GREAT 4th. Don't forget the gift of freedom. Fly your :flag: high.

Good news at our house -- Euan will NOT need any surgery, but he is in a full arm blue fibreglass cast until July 24. He will be reassessed on that date, then likely be given a removable splint to wear on our holiday. It looks like the Neverland pool is not so far out of reach afterall!!

Jennifer, excellent news!! What a relief!

Happy 4th of July!! I'm up and ready for something exciting to happen!

I have to just say something and then I'll get off of the :soapbox: but I was watching the President's speech at Thomas Jefferson's home and he was getting heckled, ALOT, and I was just so ashamed to be listening to other Americans act that way. I know he isn't popular and I know people disagree with him, but he still deserves respect as the President of our country. How could you go to a speech, just to yell things at the top of your lungs in the middle of someone talking? It was so disrepectful it made me sad :( That shouldn't be what today is about. OK, sorry, just had to say that

To show my appreciation to all of the JQer's and thank you for how great you've been I'll be busy serving up tasty treats for your enjoyment today. On the grill I'll have chicken, shrimp and beef kabobs with cherry tomatoes, pineapple, mushrooms and peppers all in my secret sauce. For desert I have a sugar-free chocolate decedent cake with raspberry sauce along with chocolate brownies with a rich fudge icing. Feel free to stop by anytime as I have enough for everyone.


What? You want to stop bringing cookies??

SECURITY!!! :D

Wall-E!! I can't wait to see it... we're going next week. :cloud9:
