Just Questions: Guess We Can't.

[Nascfan]

Rough and tumble day as "they" decided we should move offices the last week of fiscal year. Are all of upper management idiots or just most of them?

I will do my best to get trip reports up soon gang. And Sarah, I do have a report on 1900 Park Faire dinner for you. I will pm as soon as I can. Be patient with me?

Just a zoop, I'm too tired for more than that. G'night JQU teachers and students, sleep well.

[drummerboy]

Nice to meet you, are you really as much fun to pick on as Pogo?

Hoo hah. Maybe even more fun.

Quit winking at me big guy ! We are watching AGT and loving it !

Especially the grinding act !

Letterman's been having a grinding act girl here and there for quite a while, so I didn't see it as being that original. Some other stupendous acts though. You don't like to be winked at?

I had a 2 hour workshop tonight on playing the finger cymbals, how soon do you think I'll be driving Gilles crazy?

I've got a couple of extra pairs in my percussion kit if you need to drive him more crazy.

[Tink&Goofy]

Boy, are you jabber jaws or what?
I'm not EVEN going to try to catch up. I just got home from a 12 hour day, so not much brain power left.

I haven't had anything to eat yet - anyone have any leftovers from dinner?

[pogo]

It's about time T&G..... did you get your puter problems fixed ???

There is some grilled chicken in the fridge.... help yourself.

I wish, I love to write, if only I could make money at it. Hey, you think I could get a job at the JQU campus paper?

Yes you may..... just add the following into your signature...... Senior Reporter, JQU daily paper, Possumbilities !

Very cool Traci!! Thanks for sharing!! And thanks for the pixie dust!

Ahem..... did you forget something, young lady ?

Rough and tumble day as "they" decided we should move offices the last week of fiscal year. Are all of upper management idiots or just most of them?

Hey wait a minute..... I'm upper management and I severely resemble that remark Mister !

I've got a couple of extra pairs in my percussion kit if you need to drive him more crazy.

Why don't you let her use a set of splash cymbals.... that will work better.

Good night all... see you in the morning...

[Tink&Goofy]

Quit winking at me big guy !

You don't like to be winked at?

Should we be worried about you two??

It's about time T&G..... did you get your puter problems fixed ???

There is some grilled chicken in the fridge.... help yourself.

No - I have LAN access, email and internet, but lost access to numerous critical systems I need. It will be the end of the week before I get it all back....

How did you know I have grilled chicken in the fridge? Where'd ya hide the camera? Did you see the pineapple that goes with it, too?

[Dsnygirl]

Tweety?

Is that what he's calling himself now???

Blythe, he's a 5 month old pure breed yellow lab!

DS has a fever that went up over 104 and he threw up! It looks like he's going to miss is preschool graduation tomorrow!

Oooh, that's what I want next... well, not next... just when Bailey is a little older and we have a bit more interior room. Our friends have a wonderful yellow lab named Bella, and we took the name of the breeder, as we think she's related to Bailey and has the sweetest personality.

Sending some back to you for your DS... I hope he's feeling better in the morning!

Nice to meet you, are you really as much fun to pick on as Pogo?

Even more!!

He should be choked..... er..... you know what I mean. Tell him to read this......

Dan.... you are lucky to have such a wonderful wife !

Especially the grinding act !

I'll be sure to pass that on in the morning... the pirate is sleeping right now...

Ummm... dare I ask???

‘Twas the night ‘fore vacation and all through the house
all we could think of was that wonderful mouse.
The kids in their p.j.s and us in our robes
zipped up the suitcases, they’re ready to go.
Our DME tags were put into place
and each of us had a huge smile on our face.
We tucked the kids all snug in their beds
while visions of Nemo swam through their heads.
We went to our own room and turned out the light
but I knew there was no way I’d sleep through the night.
ADRs kept running through my stressed mind
Did I make them all? Did I get the best times?
The anticipation made me giddy and gay
only 10 more hours and we’d be on our way.
I closed my eyes and tried hard to sleep
looking forward to another INTERCOT meet.
The alarm clock rang loudly at 6 in the morning
and the T.V. news said there were blizzard warnings.
So with the fear that our flight would be delayed
we made our way to the airport and silently prayed.
We got boarding passes and went to check in
flight 100 now boarding, let the vacation begin.
We touched down in Orlando just before one
first day of vacation in the land of the sun.
We found DME and boarded the bus
Jeanne was our driver, what wonderful luck!
Port Orleans was such a beautiful sight
I could hardly believe we would be there 9 nights.
After checking in we boarded a boat
off to downtown Disney for a root beer float.
Cast members worked both day and night
to make sure that every dream took flight.
The next several days were filled with such magic,
I could see our last day would seem no less than tragic.
The middle of the trip brought a great surprise
from the castle suite we got to watch the sun rise.
But the greatest joy came near the end
when we got to meet some of our INTERCOT friends.
Some that I’ve talked to forever it seems
and other fresh faces who were new to the scene.
Bright beaming smiles and welcoming faces
wonderful people in the most magical of places.
We all watched the parade then had a quick snack
and made a vow that we all would come back.
The last night of our trip found us packing our bags
with souvenirs, trinkets, even new luggage tags.
Of course the trip and the story must come to an end
but we had incredible magic and met wonderful friends.
So to the INTERCOTEES I’ve met and those yet to come,
I only have one thing to say, You’re number one!

So, do you think I have WAY too much time on my hands?

Traci, that was awesome!! I'm going to print it out tomorrow and keep it for our scrapbook... thanks for sharing it with us!!

Well, I'm home for the night... seems my tummy was a bit off, too, so I thought it best to head home for some sleep. Dan said Emma didn't have a fever before bed, but it was only 4hrs post medicine, so we'll see....

I have some sad news about our Calvin... seems we may have to put him to sleep sooner than I'd thought. He's our 14yr old big cat, and he's been having a rough time of it lately. He's diabetic and although that seems reasonably under control, he's been losing the strength in his hips and has been struggling with stairs and sometimes walking in general. He's had a few accidents in the basement of the "#2" variety (sorry if TMI... ) but we've handled it and said if it become more frequent, or if he stopped using the litter box altogether, we'd make the call. Well, it seems that the last few days have headed in that direction, so I'm going to call our vet tomorrow and see. It makes me so sad... he's been with us since just before we got married, and if you guys remember, we had to put his "brother" down a year and a half ago. He's just always been there, and even though it's been tough sledding with him lately, I can't imagine not having him around. He's talkative and funny and still our big baby, so it's very sad. We'll see what the vet says tomorrow...

Okay, off to bed for me... I'll try to catch up with everyone tomorrow!!

[cal5755]

That's better !
Quit winking at me big guy ! We are watching AGT and loving it !

Especially the grinding act !

EWWW the grinding act was GROSS!! but... after the grinding act my sweet daughter Michelle Marie had her adorable face on the t.v. screen saying "America We Have Talent" with her friend Camron!!! I am surprised you all didn't hear the screaming going on here in Maryland!!..... Now I am going to be up until DH gets home because she is on the couch here fighting sleep because she just has to tell Daddy she was famous for 3 seconds!!

I haven't had anything to eat yet - anyone have any leftovers from dinner?

Well I have 2 salisbury steak patties left and some fresh and delicious greenbeans and some cold ice tea left from dinner... I can heat you a plate...... hope you have a good nights sleep to recharge that brain power!!


Well I am going to the fridge for a caffiene free diet pepsi ... anyone need anything cold to drink??

[Natazu]

A little birdy told me he was tired of taking all the abuse all by his lonesome self. Said I should stop by so the JQ ladies can show the "love" to somebody else.

Can you guess who that birdy is?

Hey, a new member. Welcome. Alex, is it?
What a coincidence, that's what we're going to name our son.

[tinkerbellybutton]

Apparently my bed wasn't calling me, Bruce is sound asleep and here I am alone at 2:30 in the morning.
All by myself, don't wanna be, all by myself anymore.

I can sew most anything, I did my sister's wedding dress, well one out of 5 and I've made a safari jacket... but I have never quilted .. I have always wanted to make a quilt...

I am so jealous of you for that, I can knit, crochet, cross stitch, but I can't sew to save my life. Wanna teach me?

Very cool Traci!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hoo hah. Maybe even more fun.

Yay

Boy, are you jabber jaws or what?

Most of that is probably me, nobody can ever seem to shut me up

Yes you may..... just add the following into your signature...... Senior Reporter, JQU daily paper, Possumbilities !

Thanks Boss

Traci, that was awesome!! I'm going to print it out tomorrow and keep it for our scrapbook... thanks for sharing it with us!!

Thank you, I'm honored, truly.

[COLOR="Magenta"]
THAT WAS AWESOME!! I love writing like that too... that was fun to read!! Glad you shared!!

I can't get enough writing. A few years ago I wrote and illustrated a Christmas book for my children, this last Christmas I printed 2 copies out on nice paper, laminated the pages, had them spiral bound with a dedication to each of them in the front and gave them to them for Christmas. DD says it's her favorite present ever.

[tinkerbellybutton]

Traci,
Were you born that sweet?

Nope, it's how my mama raised me.

I guess I have to ask...... was there really a moose or did TBB drink her breakfast ??

You need to quit giving up my secrets mister, is nothing sacred?

Can I just say "FOR PETE'S SAKE!!"...this day is never going to end. The doctor just came out and is going to have to do an admission and says, "we're going to be here awhile." This is after we had to put a patient in at lunch, etc. ARGH!! I'm so burnt out on this job!!

I hope this new day treats you much better

I have some sad news about our Calvin...

Blythe, I'm so sorry about Calvin Let us know what you find out. Here's some more pixie dust for Emma some for you in case your tummy is still "off" and here's an extra large dose for Calvin and to help you through whatever happens.

[disneydeb]

Traci, I love the Night before Vacation!

and
You will go great as our Newspaper Publisher!


Blythe , I hope Emma is better and (((hugs))) for your family. Pet decisions are really hard.



Who wants breakfast? Gage does!

[pogo]

Good morning Friends ! Everybody ready for a new day ???

I was getting burned out so I changed from Dec. to October, and with all this talk I want to go in Dec again. I'll be putting in a lot of extra hours the next month, but I don't get overtime, just time off, so my vacation in October will be all my extra hours. Unfortunately, Gilles has to use his vacation time and he won't have any time left for Dec.

I knew this was going to happen to you when you changed to October !

I hope you can pull off the big switch, from October to December. Good luck.

No - I have LAN access, email and internet, but lost access to numerous critical systems I need. It will be the end of the week before I get it all back.

OK......... does this mean you're gonna be little Miss Grumpy Pants until the end of the week ??

Well, I'm home for the night... seems my tummy was a bit off, too, so I thought it best to head home for some sleep. Dan said Emma didn't have a fever before bed, but it was only 4hrs post medicine, so we'll see....

I have some sad news about our Calvin... seems we may have to put him to sleep sooner than I'd thought. He's our 14yr old big cat, and he's been having a rough time of it lately.

More for Emma and some for you too.
I hope everything goes well at the vets.

EWWW the grinding act was GROSS!! but... after the grinding act my sweet daughter Michelle Marie had her adorable face on the t.v. screen saying "America We Have Talent" with her friend Camron!!! I am surprised you all didn't hear the screaming going on here in Maryland!!..... Now I am going to be up until DH gets home because she is on the couch here fighting sleep because she just has to tell Daddy she was famous for 3 seconds!!

That was your daughter ??? How sweet she is. You have a right to be proud !

Hey, a new member. Welcome. Alex, is it?
What a coincidence, that's what we're going to name our son.

Thanks Boss.

Your talent is showing. You should pursue it and see where it leads.

You need to quit giving up my secrets mister, is nothing sacred?

Not around here. Now set down the glass.... and slowly back away from it.

[pogo]

Who wants breakfast? Gage does!

Morning Sis..... Gage is up already ????

What's on the menu ??

[MMouse6937]

Blythe, I'm sorry to hear about Calvin, what a tough decision. It sounds like you all have given him a wonderful life and he's been blessed, I know you will make the right decision.

Hey, a new member. Welcome. Alex, is it?
What a coincidence, that's what we're going to name our son.

I hope this new day treats you much better

I'm sure going to hope so!

Morning all, I can't get motivated enough to get in the shower, so tired this morning. Gotta get back to the grind though right? Ok off to get ready, have a great day, check in later!

That is just too darn cute.

We know you are not a photographer ! at least a wildlife photographer.

That gives me an idea. Do we have an official photographer yet in JQU? If not I'd definitely like to apply for the job. You can check out my work on my home page.

Well I'm off shortly to "up north" as we call it here in Michigan. I'm taking my laptop as they have free WiFi in the hotel lobby, but we shall see if I really get online, might have too much fun.

Later everyone!

[Caroleh]

I am so jealous of you for that, I can knit, crochet, cross stitch, but I can't sew to save my life. Wanna teach me?

I can do that too, besides the sewing, quilting, scrapbooking, etc... Can we say that I'm crafty? Now if someone could help me with creative accessories and a creative table runner for seminar in Sept. I'd appreciate it!!

Traci, I love your poem!!!

Good morning Friends ! Everybody ready for a new day ???

I knew this was going to happen to you when you changed to October !

I hope you can pull off the big switch, from October to December. Good luck.

I'm ready for the day and the party tonight!!

I can't change it at this point, because I know by October I really need to go away. I can tell with Gilles that he needs to get away also. I'm trying not to get totally stressed out during inventory this year. I say that and I have one person on vacation right now, one more going next week, my assistant manager took an extra day off work this week because her DD had her baby and as soon as I finish with my counting and paperwork she wants to take two weeks off(she also wants to take it off within a week and a half after the physical fabric inventory), then I have a person having surgery the Friday after inventory...can you say stress?

Blythe, for Emma, Calvin and your family.

[mickey&missy]

Ahem..... did you forget something, young lady ?

Yeah, yeah! I realized I forgot ?? after I logged off and turned off my computer!

Ya know I tend to be kinda forgetful and I'm also a troublemaker, according to my DH.

Oooh, that's what I want next... well, not next... just when Bailey is a little older and we have a bit more interior room. Our friends have a wonderful yellow lab named Bella, and we took the name of the breeder, as we think she's related to Bailey and has the sweetest personality.

Sending some back to you for your DS... I hope he's feeling better in the morning!
it with us!!

Well, I'm home for the night... seems my tummy was a bit off, too, so I thought it best to head home for some sleep. Dan said Emma didn't have a fever before bed, but it was only 4hrs post medicine, so we'll see....

I have some sad news about our Calvin... seems we may have to put him to sleep sooner than I'd thought. He's our 14yr old big cat, and he's been having a rough time of it lately. He's diabetic and although that seems reasonably under control, he's been losing the strength in his hips and has been struggling with stairs and sometimes walking in general. He's had a few accidents in the basement of the "#2" variety (sorry if TMI... ) but we've handled it and said if it become more frequent, or if he stopped using the litter box altogether, we'd make the call. Well, it seems that the last few days have headed in that direction, so I'm going to call our vet tomorrow and see. It makes me so sad... he's been with us since just before we got married, and if you guys remember, we had to put his "brother" down a year and a half ago. He's just always been there, and even though it's been tough sledding with him lately, I can't imagine not having him around. He's talkative and funny and still our big baby, so it's very sad. We'll see what the vet says tomorrow...

Okay, off to bed for me... I'll try to catch up with everyone tomorrow!!

Pluto is sooooo sweet, he's such a love. I had been in contact with the breeder and when he was born we got to see all the puppies at 2 weeks. So tiny! The breeder was great! She knew we wanted a yellow male. There were 2 yellow males in the litter. There were also a few chocolate and a black. I didn't know that all 3 colors could come from the same litter, but thats beside the point. The breeder told me she would try to judge the temprament of the 2 male yellows and give us the one she thought best for a family with small kids. She did a really good job! For awhile he thought Ryan, the baby, was a puppy! It was soooo cute! He's very smart and learns pretty quickly. But, he's like a kid and likes to test his limits from time to time and he has lots of energy! I'll take some up-to-date pictures of him and post them later!

Thanks for the pixie dust! I think we could use all we can get. Johnny is still very sick and now Ryan is sick! Johnny's fever was over 104 last night!

Lots more for Emma and also you! Feel better!

I'm so sorry about Calvin, it terrible when a pet gets sick. Lots of for him!

So what's on everyone schedule for today? I have about 5 million things to do today and all of them are getting out on the back burner because of the sick kiddos! Oh well, what are ya gonna do? I just hate to see my kids sick! My poor babies! I'd take their sickness in a heartbeat to make them all better!

[Dsnygirl]

Good morning, gang!! I'm up and raring to go, having been "given" a day back out of my schedule since I came home last night!!

Unfort., Emma still had a 101.5 fever this morning, so she's home w/ me... doesn't seem to be feeling too badly, but with that fever, I just couldn't send her. I called the school nurse and whatever she's got, it seems to be going around, so the next call is to the pediatrician to see if she might need antibiotics... I don't want to figure out she needs them tomorrow night before we go away!!

but... after the grinding act my sweet daughter Michelle Marie had her adorable face on the t.v. screen saying "America We Have Talent" with her friend Camron!!!

That is so cool!! How did that happen??

Hey, a new member. Welcome. Alex, is it?
What a coincidence, that's what we're going to name our son.

I can't get enough writing. A few years ago I wrote and illustrated a Christmas book for my children, this last Christmas I printed 2 copies out on nice paper, laminated the pages, had them spiral bound with a dedication to each of them in the front and gave them to them for Christmas.

That is so cool!! What a great idea!!

You need to quit giving up my secrets mister, is nothing sacred?

Not around here....

Thanks for the pixie dust! I think we could use all we can get. Johnny is still very sick and now Ryan is sick! Johnny's fever was over 104 last night!

Sending more your way for your sweet guys... I hope they're feeling better soon, and that your DD doesn't get it!!

So - does anybody think Alex will show up again today?? (btw, we had a little guy born last night named Alex... I told his parents his name was well-picked, and to watch out when he gets older... )

[drummerboy]

My poor babies! I'd take their sickness in a heartbeat to make them all better!

If you're a parent, you'll probably take their sickness anyway. DW got a bug off of one of our grandchildren from two weeks ago and wound up with pneumonia.

So - does anybody think Alex will show up again today?? (btw, we had a little guy born last night named Alex... I told his parents his name was well-picked, and to watch out when he gets older... )

Sage advice indeed.

Blythe, I always hate it when that decision has to be made. Here's some for you and Calvin.

Hard to believe it's already been a week since I had my eye done. So far so good though. I can lift a whole ten pounds at a time this week.

Did anybody besides Pogo and me watch America's Got Talent last night?
