Just Questions...Hoppin' Down the Funny Trail.

[ElenitaB]

Here I've come up with a really clever thread title and nobody's even mentioned it.

Anybody mind if I just sit over here and eat worms?

Ken, I did note the cleverness of the thread title, but now that you've mentioned it, I won't. ;-p

How would you like those worms? Would you like fries with that?

Does anybody else have a family like this? My father was admitted to the hospital early in the week with a pulmonary embolism (clot in each lung no less) and nobody bothered to tell me until I called up there on Wednesday.

Who else has family problems?

Gee, does finding out that my stepfather (90) was admitted to the hospital two days after it happened, count? What about finding out that my SIL had a bad reaction to sedation when they went to blast out her kidney stones count? (Just found out this morning... happened Thursday.) But I guess I shouldn't talk... I don't tell my mom when I'm having chemo.

I think I'm going to make the cake instead of the cookies... easier to resist when baking them, no? The mugs will just have to suffice with jellybeans, Easter M&Ms and "robin eggs." Two will also contain Starbucks cards.

I'm a bit blue so I need to stay away from cookies. I'm sure the guys will make sure that there are no cookies in my immediate vicinity, right?

P.S. The two-week-old treadmill is broke! They're MAILing me the part.

Would that be fried grasshoppers?

Ellen! What have we told you about putting too much food in your mouth?

[ElenitaB]

Ellen! What have we told you about putting too much food in your mouth?

I needed you to run interference for me, not inference.

Where's that question jar? Oh, here's a good one: Who stopped the rain?

Sorry Ken... come on over and sit with the guys who love their own punny jokes over here in this corner ... its a lonely group right now!

Y
Did I ever tell you he had surgery on Wednesday?

Rhonda -- some for your dad....I hope he's up to scratch again soon...

DH got home LATE last night from San Antonio. He bought me a Minnie Mouse sunglass case for my new glasses I got in WDW last month. How many brownie points should that be worth???

That's pretty good...It should get him through the weekend anyway Christine!

Does anybody else have a family like this? My father was admitted to the hospital early in the week with a pulmonary embolism (clot in each lung no less) and nobody bothered to tell me until I called up there on Wednesday.

Ken -- I hope your dad is better again soon, too! My family is the opposite -- I hear whenever my dad trims his nails....My mom holds her cards a bit closer to her chest..

DH's father got taken into hospital into a cardiac ward last night but we did get told this morning.

Mikki -- good recovery to Andrew's dad as well .

I am so sorry you are feeling blue Ellen -- A cookie would help in the short term, but you are wise to stay away from them in the long run...they always lead to another! I wish I could whip some up for you...

Would that be fried grasshoppers?

In chocolate?

Now make sure you chew good Ellen!

Chocolate covered fried grasshoppers?

Hey....what happened? The last thing I remember, I was in a lonely little hotel room in Charlotte. I had this crazy dream that my house had a wand attached to it and this big jello mold of the Black Pearl was in my front yard. I came back and here we are in a new thread. Was it all just a dream?

Yes it was all just a dream and your real name is Bobby Ewing and you are filthy rich, live in Texas and have a beautiful babe for a wife and have one of the meanest brothers in the world.

Is it all coming back to you now?

[Jasper]

My DH is still in San Antonio. If DD didn't have a soccer game tomorrow, I would drive up and we could go to Stonebriar Centre!

Maybe you could go treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure and take in a girlie movie??

So, what is a Stonebriar Centre?

Girlie movie?? Be careful what you say, this is a family rate site! Around here a girlie movie is XXX rated!!

[Jasper]

You mean I am stuck wearing this red valour top and green polka dot pants until then? Anyone have a jacket I can borrow?

Sure, I have one you can use. Do you mind waiting until the cat gets done raising her kittens to use it? We had an unexpected increase in the size of our family around here over the weekend. Anyone need a cute kitten in a few months?

[Jasper]

Nobody appreciates a genius in his own time.

Did I really say that?

When we spot one we will appreciate him!

Now, was that the kind of response you were looking for?

[Jasper]

Because he was chilli and wanted a fur coat made from dog hair?

Do you think the new flight meant Jasper missed my comments on the quality of his jokes?

Is the answer to everything 42?

Yes, I did miss your comments. Would you care to repeat them or would you rather I go look them up after I get done reading here?

[Jasper]

I needed you to run interference for me, not inference.

Where's that question jar? Oh, here's a good one: Who stopped the rain?

Would that be the Candy Man?

Gee, I just looked at the end of this thread, I guess I really ought to get in the habit of using the multi-quote thingy, you think?

[Beast_fanatic]

I think I'm going to make the cake instead of the cookies... easier to resist when baking them, no?

P.S. The two-week-old treadmill is broke! They're MAILing me the part.

I love cake batter, so no, it wouldn't be easier for me to resist!

At least they aren't Emailing you the part!

So, what is a Stonebriar Centre?

It's a mall.

Gee, I just looked at the end of this thread, I guess I really ought to get in the habit of using the multi-quote thingy, you think?

Yes, I think NOT using it should be considered cheating in the race to 3000.

Now, where did my nice quiet weekend go? It was so short! Good thing that I only have to work 3 days this week.

[dlpmikki]

Yes, I did miss your comments. Would you care to repeat them or would you rather I go look them up after I get done reading here?

Oh by all means go look them up - even if it means you won't be able to use the multi quote to reply!

Looks like FiL will be in hospital for a few days at least. BiL is going to visit tonight and we think we will be going up tomorrow and staying overnight to make sure MiL is also getting fed. Lots of people looking after FiL but MiL is in her 80s as well so we want to make sure she looks after herself too.

Did I tell you I got some Dream Mickey ears in the post? They were actually Disneyland ones!

[alpro2]

Good thing that I only have to work 3 days this week.

So what are you going to do with all that time off Rhonda?

Looks like FiL will be in hospital for a few days at least. BiL is going to visit tonight and we think we will be going up tomorrow and staying overnight to make sure MiL is also getting fed. Lots of people looking after FiL but MiL is in her 80s as well so we want to make sure she looks after herself too.

Best wishes to your FiL, as well as MiL.
So I guess you won't be playing tennis today, Mikki?

[Mickey'sGirl]

Mornin' everyone! -- Glad your DW had a great birthday Scott!

Mikki -- I'm glad you are keeping an eye on your MiL as well....Can't forget about her!

Grey and drizzly here...but pretty mild all in all! Are these the April Showers we were told about?

[offwego]

Does the cooking wench have anything good cookie recipes?

All my books for her are by weight..which makes cookie making difficult (sorry Mikki). Personally I like the cookies from Canadian Living.

Gotta go shopping now....Happy day everyone!

Now that's how to spend a weekend!

Do you think Natalie can match shoes with that?

Nope sorry!

Here I've come up with a really clever thread title and nobody's even mentioned it.

Anybody mind if I just sit over here and eat worms?

Why would you want to even think about doing that?

Does anybody else have a family like this? My father was admitted to the hospital early in the week with a pulmonary embolism (clot in each lung no less) and nobody bothered to tell me until I called up there on Wednesday. He's home now and when I called last night he acted like it was no big thing (he's almost 87).

Oh yes!! I didn't tell my mom I was going to have a c-section does that count?

I don't tell my mom when I'm having chemo.
P.S. The two-week-old treadmill is broke! They're MAILing me the part.

Too bad abut the treadmill! And I hope your feeling less blue soon.

So, what is a Stonebriar Centre?

Girlie movie?? Be careful what you say, this is a family rate site! Around here a girlie movie is XXX rated!!

I think this meant chick flick. Fairly good name with the whole easter thing coming up.

[Mickey'sGirl]

So what did everyone do to celebrate Ewan McGregor's 35th birthday on Saturday?

[disneydrmr]

Hey everyone! Sorry I'm late - spent the WHOLE weekend helping MIL move and well, that's a story in and of itself. Her clothing alone took up more than half of my husband's van! (and Nat, sit down before you read this - NO she does not have different shoes for each outfit! Good thing too or else we'd probably STILL be moving them!)... anyway - I missed the flight to this VERY CLEVERLY NAMED THREAD, so I had to hop a taxi! You guys wanna talk family???? DON'T even get me started... I have in-law stories that would make all of you glad for the family you have! I do hope all the sick ones are recovering! Scott- glad your wife had a nice birthday, albiet a chilly one - hmmm... if you lived 3 hours further south she would've had a nice and WARM one! So, what's the plan today to pass our time?

[alpro2]

It's about time you ladies showed up. Ready for another day of hard work?
