Just Questions: Scrapping for Valentines.

[ElenitaB]

Hi, Frankie! Is the moral of the story is to keep ginormous underwear in the kitchen?


I didn't leave you last night! Everytime you send a message, it said User Not Available!

I hope you finally got to sleep and that tomorrow goes well for you!

You still like me right? I sure hope so!
Sorry about that! Once again, my wireless connection dropped. Since it was well after 2:30, I thought it better not to reboot. So I did go to sleep. And, yes, of course I still like you, silly! :hug:


Once upon a time, the little girl wouldn't go to sleep so an ogre came and broke her Xbox.
Close... but it was more like "Once upon a time, a giant lady wouldn't go to sleep so her evil ISP came and cut off her internet." Does that work?


Ever since her grandchild was born she wants every Saturday off, so if she does complain to the boss, all I have to do is tell her how many Saturdays my assistant has asked for off and then it'll go back to both of us working every Saturday. There is justice...:thedolls:

Does anyone have anything to relieve a major stress headache?
Is it just me or does it sound like she's been babysitting the baby every Saturday? However, rules are rules and "every other Saturday" does not equate "every Saturday." You've been very generous with her and she's been inflexible... see below.

Absolutely. We'll make her an offer she can't refuse. Does she like shoes? We can get her a pair of concrete ones.
We have to remember the ice saw because the lakes may well be frozen over in those latitudes.


Well, young Euan had a febrile seizure on Tuesday evening. He had been feverish all day, and then was quite chilled through dinner. We decided to plop him in the bath, then we would give him some Motrin and put him to bed. Well, Brian was shaving, and I was sorting laundry while Euan was in the tub, and I heard Brian saying "Euan...stop goofing around. Euan talk to Daddy. Euan .... Euan..." So I ran in, as Brian was taking him out of the tub (he had begun to slide down into the water) and we determined he was having a seizure.

... He was unresponsive, and had extremely shallow breathing and his lips were going blue. So I called 9-1-1 while Brian layed him on the bed, then picked him up, then layed him on the bed, then picked him up .... then finally after about a minute or more, he finally smiled at me.

The Firefighters arrived first -- three of them. One took notes, one looked after Euan and asked us questions, and the third assisted that guy. They administered some oxygen then Euan puked all over himself and my bed ... and then did it again .... Then the paramedics arrived. So we had 5 wet booted handsome heros in our bedroom attending to our son.

Here's a funny thing though ... The head Firefighter guy said to me "You guys were at Disney in October". I said "Yeah, we were." He said "We sat next to you at dinner in the castle" ... I remembered then -- he and his wife and their daughters. What a small world, eh?

So, since our local hospital was on by-pass, they took us to the next city over (not far) where Euan got all checked out and released. He was absolutely fine. He even went to school yesterday ... He's just fine. He will need an EEG, however (Harry had one and an MRI after his first seizure too).
Anyone else have a good story to tell?
Thank God, he's okay. How scary for you guys! Luckily the Lord blessed the boys with two really great parents and had Brian in the right place at the right time (reminds me of Dan being in the right place at the right time just a few weeks ago).

Amazing that the chief remembered you guys from CRT. Yes, :sing: it's a small world.

I found it funny that here you are in the midst of a difficult situation and you were checking out the emergency personnel. Are you sure we're not related? My freshman year I broke my leg while skiing (a lifetime ago was I was like 1/3 of my current size) and had to be brought down the mountain in one of those special sleds. All I could think of was how cute the ski patrol guy was.

Glad to hear that he was back at school and getting ready for his BIRTHDAY tomorrow!


Are we ready for Friday already? Where'd the rest of the week go?

Next, I get to greet high school students from all over the region who are participating in a mock trial program in a couple of weeks. Guess which of the three hostings will make me most nervous. All I did was sign up to be a judge in the competition, and next thing I know, I'm the regional coordinator because the usual guy couldn't do it this year.
This week has gone by quickly... I'm ready for a FABULOUS Friday but an unproductive one. I have to go into the office for a townhall meeting and will miss most of my productive puter time. :geek: I'm sure, however, that the townhall will be interesting.


That stinks about your kitchen counter. I can comiserate with you...the plumber is coming tomorrow to fix our 3 month old bathroom and the contractor is coming to fix our bathroom cabinet door that is hanging by one hinge.
My bathroom cabinet is broken in the same way. Can they come fix mine too?


So you have more stories then burning laundry?
Who knew that we'd get to mention burning laundry more than once in this thread?


And is Canada (well Ontario) the only place you can't get Wine in the grocery store?
You can in California, and I think in Florida too (I know I've bought wine... not great wine but wine, nonetheless, in a CVS in Orlando). You can't in New York... only :beer: and :ack: cooking wine.

Night all! Hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight. Have a good night at work, Blythe!

[Tink&Goofy]

Today was a rather rough day. I found out this afternoon that a coworker of mine who retired last October, died this morning. He had won his battle with cancer several years ago, but not this time. He was the most optimistic, upbeat person. Kind of reminds me of you, Pogo! So, please keep his family in your prayers. :(

On a more upbeat topic, who has already spent their tax "rebate" to be coming this spring?

And Yes - you can buy wine in the grocery store in Oregon!

[Caroleh]

Cut her off at the pass and call your boss first. :pixie: to get through it all!



Just giving you all an update...I went to call the boss, she was off today. I also received a text message from my DD who informed me she lost her job because of the enconmy, and I kinda lost it and began crying my eyes out. You know when the boss cries everyone gets worried and she said I could have the weekend off I wanted for us to move.


Well, young Euan had a febrile seizure on Tuesday evening. He had been feverish all day, and then was quite chilled through dinner. We decided to plop him in the bath, then we would give him some Motrin and put him to bed. Well, Brian was shaving, and I was sorting laundry while Euan was in the tub, and I heard Brian saying "Euan...stop goofing around. Euan talk to Daddy. Euan .... Euan..." So I ran in, as Brian was taking him out of the tub (he had begun to slide down into the water) and we determined he was having a seizure.

Harry had several seizures as a young child -- but he always went stiff and spasmed -- Euan went limp and "stoned" He was unresponsive, and had extremely shallow breathing and his lips were going blue. So I called 9-1-1 while Brian layed him on the bed, then picked him up, then layed him on the bed, then picked him up .... then finally after about a minute or more, he finally smiled at me. By this time we could hear the sirens -- so Harry took the dogs downstairs and outside -- and Brian went to wait for the Emergency workers -- and I kept poking and prodding poor Euey.

The Firefighters arrived first -- three of them. One took notes, one looked after Euan and asked us questions, and the third assisted that guy. They administered some oxygen then Euan puked all over himself and my bed ... and then did it again .... Then the paramedics arrived. So we had 5 wet booted handsome heros in our bedroom attending to our son. Here's a funny thing though ... The head Firefighter guy said to me "You guys were at Disney in October". I said "Yeah, we were." He said "We sat next to you at dinner in the castle" ... I remembered then -- he and his wife and their daughters. Funny how everyone remembers us.....:D ... He was a really lovely guy and kept calling out "Euey... we're here" "Euey ... hey big guy" 'cause poor Euan was sooooooooooo out of it. What a small world, eh?

Then Brian showed the Firefighters out -- and left us with the paramedics who recommended that we go to the hospital as it was Euan's first seizure. So, since our local hospital was on by-pass, they took us to the next city over (not far) where Euan got all checked out and released. He was absolutely fine. He even went to school yesterday ... He's just fine. He will need an EEG, however (Harry had one and an MRI after his first seizure too). So it was upsetting, but I'm not worried about him. We just need to be aggressive about medicating him at the first sign of fever.

So that's the story of the 3 Firefighters and 2 Paramedics in my boudoir. Not horrible, but somewhat upsetting at the time. I told Brian that I have never entertained so many men at the same time in my room :blush:! The good news is that Euan is absolutely fine.

Anyone else have a good story to tell?

Oh, Jenn, that is SO scary. We're so glad that Euan is fine. Gilles said there must some magic in Euan's hat!!


IChristine -- tomorrow is Euan's 4th birthday. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to have Mickey Mouse on a cake? I ended up buying a set of the Clubhouse guys at the DS, washing them and taking them to the bakery to have them put onto a cake for the event. And why aren't I baking the cake, you might ask? Well our one year old kitchen counter has to be removed so that THE BUILDER CAN PUT THE SUPPORT FRAME IN! Our counter was sinking! Thank goodness I hadn't put the backsplash in yet. NOw I'm rambling....Is it contagious?

Tell Euan Happy Brithday from the two of us!!!

Is this counter thing something I need to worry about? Gilles wants to know who your builder was...just checking to see if we have the same one. :D


Oh, he's gonna be 4!!! That seems impossible! :baby:

That stinks about your kitchen counter. I can comiserate with you...the plumber is coming tomorrow to fix our 3 month old bathroom and the contractor is coming to fix our bathroom cabinet door that is hanging by one hinge.


Okay now you two are getting me really concerned..what all do I need to watch out for? I've been told about popping nails.

[Dsnygirl]

Have a good night at work, Blythe!
Thanks!! I'll be leaving in a bit, stopping by the DD on the way - any orders for any night owls out there??

I'll again be on the "anti-computer" floor, so I'll check in if I can... :(

T&G, I'm so sorry to hear that... news like that always takes the wind right out of your sails. Sending a :hug: your way, and his family will definitely be in our thoughts & prayers.

Yes - many times over... :blush:

Lucky you!! Gotta love "one-stop shopping"...

Carol, I'm so sorry to hear about your DD... it's hard to hear about family going through stuff like that. But at least it helped on your end... ;) My brother is in a similar situation as your DD and expected the ax to fall this morning... haven't heard anything yet, though. Very scary...

And about your new house? Well, let me tell you, after having built two and lived in one of them, and now having a DH who works for a builder, there's a lot to expect, but none of it should be major. Definitely nail pops, for years... possibly a wall crack or two as the land and house settle - but nothing structural - just usually spackling or "mud"... if you'd like a comprehensive list, just let me know... Dan says I expect too much out of a new build, :blush:, and that so much is just "normal" and easily fixed. Still, it's a royal pain in the... backside. ;)

Hope you're all having a good night... maybe I'll catch a few of you later from babyland!!

[Beast_fanatic]

Does anyone have anything to relieve a major stress headache?

Hope your headache is better by now! If not, I have Tylenol, Advil and Excedrin Migraine.


Anybody want to hear the story about the 3 Firefighters and 2 Paramedics in my boudoir on Tuesday evening?

Well, I've read the story, and I'm very glad to hear that Euan is OK! When will you get those test results back to us? ;)


Anyone else have a good story to tell?

Funny, almost all of my stories involve the police rather than firefighters.

I'm very sorry to hear about your co-worker. :hug:

The tax rebate will undoubtedly go to reduce my hubby's credit card debt. :mad:

Glad you get your weekend off. :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear about your DD though. :hug:

I had a friend that bought a model home, and they had to get someone to come fix their kitchen sink as soon as they moved in - the drain wasn't connected to anything, so the water just ran straight out into the cabinet!

[Caroleh]

The DD got her notice yesterday that she was getting laid off and her last day is tomorrow. She works for a major RV manufacturer, which I figured she would be losing her job because she's been there for a little less then a year. Ken, can we get a new RV from a company that starts with a W and make a special request that my DD has to help make it? Do you think that'll help her?

I gotta give the kid credit, she went and talked to her student loans people and got one deferred and the other one that we co-signed for her payments lowered. We were discussing her looking for a new job and decided that if she needed to she could always do child care because the area is in dire need of child care providers.

Blythe, could you pm me that list?

The stress headache is actually better, I think the belly dancing helped!!!:D

[ElenitaB]

Cindy, sorry for the loss! Goes to show what a good friend you are! Prayers have been said for the family.

I wish I was in a financial situation to use my tax rebate check and send it for cancer research but alas, I need to send it to my creditors. (There are however two shiny new cellphones that will be calling me in August [buy us, buy us]... please send Jiminy my way when the rebate checks are released.)

Carol, it stinks about your DD losing her job. :pixie: that something even better shows up soon!

Blythe, what's DD? Do they sell warm milk and honey? I'm off to bed! The earliest in weeks so the warm milk should help.

Nightie night!

[Christine]

Whew! I am JUST NOW getting home! Long day...lots of running!

So, are you ready for this??? Drum roll please...:drum: I WON AT BUNKO TONIGHT!!! $30 bucks! And Canton is next week. What a coinky-dink! :D

I'll have to catch up on the day's happenings tomorrow...I have to go whoop John's tail on the Wii and then off to bed!

'night!

[trackbarroness]

Good morning everyone.
Looks like you all have been very busy chatting up a storm in this here thread. :D
So what kind of trouble err I mean stuff that I can get into today? :D

[Natazu]

Happy Birthday Euan

and praises be to his cool-headed parents.
I'm glad he's ok. Let us know about the EEG.

Did you get the, um, liquids cleaned up ok?

[pogo]

Good morning all.... and Happy Birthday Euan !

I've been pretty busy the past two days and today is a little more laid back.

I think we are going to go see the Bucket List movie tomorrow. Has anyone seen it ??


Today was a rather rough day. I found out this afternoon that a coworker of mine who retired last October, died this morning. He had won his battle with cancer several years ago, but not this time.

T&G... I''m sorry for your loss.... it is never easy to lose a friend. But it is the circle of life. That is the reason I try to live each day as if it were my last. Here's a :hug: for you and prayers for your coworker have been said.

I'm not spending any of the tax rebate until I have the money in hand.

Looks like you need a :hug: too. Be sure to give your DD this advice. When change happens it brings so many opportunities with it. You can sit and sulk, or you can take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to change your lifestyle for the better. Now's the time to get positive !

Funny, almost all of my stories involve the police rather than firefighters.
Oh you little devil you... can you tell us stories ?? :D

I gotta give the kid credit, she went and talked to her student loans people and got one deferred and the other one that we co-signed for her payments lowered.

She sounds like one smart cookie ! Who does she take after ??? :confused:

I feel sorry for John's butt. :shake:


Good morning everyone.

Well if you are working around Stitch, I'm sure you'll find some trouble to get into. :D

Thanks, Buddy. I told her to go out start looking for a job and if it comes to taking a job as a waitress or housecleaner, it's a job and you'll never know where it'll land you. That's when she told me she could do daycare because there's a big need for it.

As for as who she takes after...Gilles said it isn't her father!!! She is SO like her mothre in many ways!! I hate to say this, but I also think her boyfriend has a lot to do with it.

I was thinking about how I wanted to decorate my scrapbooking studio. I was thinking about painting some heads of certian cartoon characters in different areas. Does anyone know how I could get the heads there and looking professional from a very bad artist? I could do it with fabric but not drawing.

[disneydrmr]

Good Morning Everyone! VP is here today so I'll have to work around his movements again.

Hugs to all who need them! T&G, Carol, etc..

:party:Happy Birthday Euan!:party:

Who thinks I should give up my :trampo:? First it was pulling a muscle in my back. Now, last night, I either bounced or trounced wrong, landed on my right foot the wrong way and busted a blood vessel. Got a nice sized blood bruise in my foot this AM. Luckily it ain't sore.. just icky looking.

Hope I'll be able to check in later....

[Mickey'sGirl]

Is this counter thing something I need to worry about? Gilles wants to know who your builder was...just checking to see if we have the same one. :DCanac. I would definitely stick my head under the cabinets to ensure they are supported. This problem was behind where we had a lazy susan put in .... not one bit of the countertop is supported behind there...

Today was a rather rough day. I found out this afternoon that a coworker of mine who retired last October, died this morning.I'm so sorry T&G! :hug: for you and his family.

I found it funny that here you are in the midst of a difficult situation and you were checking out the emergency personnel.I wasn't checking out the Firefighters :blush: ... I was making sure they were doing what they had to do...:D


Did you get the, um, liquids cleaned up ok?I left that to the team of Brian and Harry -- and I'm happy to say that all was cleaned, dried and put back onto my bed in record time! Apparently they had to move quick because the doggies were trying to help :ack:. Why are dogs so gross????
I think we are going to go see the Bucket List movie tomorrow. Has anyone seen it ?? :hi: Hey Cousin! -- Haven't seen that one -- But I did meet Morgan Freeman in London at Miss Saigon back in the day.... That was a real thrill..... Anyhooo... We did go and see National Treasure on Saturday night... We enjoyed it.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes for Euan -- He's sang Happy Birthday all morning long -- and I'm sure he's still at it now! :mickey:

[alpro2]

Di, Di, Di...:bang: Good thing it was on $20.

Happy Birthday Euan!

Want to hear something funny? I met one of Maria's friends last night. When she came over to the house, it was a girl (woman) who I shared homeroom with in HS for four years! As you could imagine, she told Maria how bad I was in HS. :thedolls:

[Christine]

Unless you want to wait until you've injured at least four more body parts, than yes, give it up!



I wasn't checking out the Firefighters :blush: ... I was making sure they were doing what they had to do...:D
Oh and here I was so impressed with how you'd handled the situation! ;) Jenn, Jenn, Jenn, you ALWAYS check out the rescue workers!!
I truly think emergency personnel is so darn hunky as a method to divert your mind from the trauma that is taking place! :thumbsup: They're there to help!

But did she bring a yearbook???

[Christine]

OOpps! I forgot to say:

:birthday: Euan!!! Eat lots of cake today!!

Carol, I'm sorry to hear about your DDs job. Like Pogo says, when one door closes, another one opens! But I know it's hard to think that way sometimes when it's YOU that it's closing on!

Cindy, sorry to hear about your friend's passing. That is never easy. :(

What's everyone doing today? I'm starting to car shop! :cheer: But I think Mr. Dave Ramsey may need to make a visit to my house...his program is starting to get fuzzy! I went from wanting to downsize from my 4-Runner to a Corolla (save gas, lower my payment, etc). But somehow I've done nothing but look at Lexus RX 360s!! :blush: But they're USED!!! That's following Dave's plan of never buying a new car, right???

Do you think little al wore his collar up or down?:D

[Christine]

Do you think little al wore his collar up or down?:D
What collar? I'm thinking he had the Miami Vice t-shirt and sports jacket thing going!!!

[Mickey'sGirl]

What collar? I'm thinking he had the Miami Vice t-shirt and sports jacket thing going!!!
...and boat shoes, no socks? Nahhh.

He's a rock'n'roll hottie! He had a Michael Jackson jacket, and one glove :thedolls:!

[BriarRose0708]

Happy Birthday Euan, make a wish! :pixie:

It's the weekend! What's everyone doing?

[Mickey'sGirl]

It's the weekend! What's everyone doing?
:hi: Nikki! My people tell me I am going to Chuck E. Cheese tonight .... Can somebody pass the Advil?:mickey: What about you?

[pogo]

Just a quick zoop in and out to say :hi:.

Busy, busy, and more busy all of a sudden, but I had to read how Diane hurt herself again. How do you get hurt on a mini trampoline ???? :confused: I hope you are OK.

See you all later.. :funny: :D

[offwego]

:hi: Nikki! My people tell me I am going to Chuck E. Cheese tonight .... Can somebody pass the Advil?:mickey: What about you?

Oy!

Happy Birthday to Euan!!!

Di..please be careful.
T & G I'm soo sorry for your loss. That's very rough.
Christine you are too funny!

Carol sorry to hear about your DD. She's in the US right? That must make it even tougher.

Hello to everyone else. Is this day over yet? Mine is far far too busy today.

[Christine]

It's the weekend! What's everyone doing?
:hi: Nikki! We're car shopping this weekend, and John is playing in a poker tournament all day/night tomorrow. Maybe I should wait until AFTER I see how he does at poker to shop for cars...it could be the difference between that Lexus and a moped! :spend:

What are your plans??

My people tell me I am going to Chuck E. Cheese tonight .... Can somebody pass the Advil?:mickey: What about you?
Ooooo, I don't envy you!! That rat is not a favorite of mine! Do you have a flask? ;)

Is this day over yet? Mine is far far too busy today.

Slow down, Nat!

I'm waiting on a friend of mine to come over and talk Disney! She is planning her first trip over Spring Break.


OOOOOH! And I have to tell you that I have the BEST dessert recipe EVER to share! I'll post it here and again at the water cooler, but you HAVE to try it! We had it last night at bunko and I can honestly say it's one of the best desserts I have EVER eaten! :tasty:

2 cans crescent rolls
2 8 oz containers of cream cheese
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
cinnamon
1 1/2 sticks butter

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with Pam. Arrange 1 can crescent rolls (not necessary to make the seams touch..just unroll and lay flat.)

Melt 2 tubs of cream cheese in microwave, and mix in 1 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Spread over crescent rolls.

Open the 2nd can of crescent rolls, unroll, and lay across the top of cream cheese mixture. (Again, no need to meet seams...just unroll and lay across top).

Melt 1 1/2 sticks butter and mix with 1 c. sugar. Pour across top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Trust me, this is so good it will make you wanna hurt somebody! :boxing:

[Mickey'sGirl]

Soooo What's everyone doing in honour of Robbie Burns's birthday?:pipes:

[Jasper]

Hi all! Are y'all enjoying your Friday?

I am just zooping in for a minute to say hello. I have to leave here shortly for a doctor visit. I am slowly getting back on my feet but have a hard time sitting in a chair to use the computer which is why you haven't seen me around here for a while.

So, does anyone want to give me the Readers Digest version of what is going on around here?

[BriarRose0708]

:hi: Nikki! My people tell me I am going to Chuck E. Cheese tonight .... Can somebody pass the Advil?:mickey: What about you?
I used to envy all the kids who got to have birthdays at Chuck E. Cheese. We had ours at McDonalds. Pack some ear plugs and a bottle of Advil and you'll be set!


:hi: Nikki! We're car shopping this weekend, and John is playing in a poker tournament all day/night tomorrow. Maybe I should wait until AFTER I see how he does at poker to shop for cars...it could be the difference between that Lexus and a moped! :spend:

What are your plans?
I don't have much going on this weekend. The theatre department is putting on Assassins this weekend, a movie is showing tomorrow, and I have a couple meetings on Sunday. Pretty low-key for the most part. Let us know if John hits it big at Poker!

1/2 tsp vanilla
cinnamon
1 1/2 sticks butter

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with Pam. Arrange 1 can crescent rolls (not necessary to make the seams touch..just unroll and lay flat.)

Melt 2 tubs of cream cheese in microwave, and mix in 1 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Spread over crescent rolls.

Open the 2nd can of crescent rolls, unroll, and lay across the top of cream cheese mixture. (Again, no need to meet seams...just unroll and lay across top).

Melt 1 1/2 sticks butter and mix with 1 c. sugar. Pour across top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Trust me, this is so good it will make you wanna hurt somebody! :boxing:

I think I'll try to make that next weekend to bring to a Superbowl party! Do you think I could make a low-fat version using reduced-fat crescents, neufatchel cheese, and smart balance?

[alpro2]

But did she bring a yearbook???
No, but I had mine. :D

Do you think little al wore his collar up or down?:D
C'mon, what kind of question is that? Up, of course. :cool:


What collar? I'm thinking he had the Miami Vice t-shirt and sports jacket thing going!!!
Yes, that too. And? :cool:


...and boat shoes, no socks? Nahhh.

He's a rock'n'roll hottie! He had a Michael Jackson jacket, and one glove :thedolls:!
Can't do the boat shoes thing, but I did do the rock'n'roll thing too (as a matter of fact, I am still trying). :D

Taking my boys to see U2 3D at the Imax tomorrow night.

[Mickey'sGirl]

Taking my boys to see U2 3D at the Imax tomorrow night.It starts here tonight ... My sister has plans to go too. Maybe you could get Adam to come and be your bassist?

[JanetMegan]

So I'm back...what have I missed?

[alpro2]

It starts here tonight ... My sister has plans to go too. Maybe you could get Adam to come and be your bassist?
Yes, now why didn't I think that?

So I'm back...what have I missed?
You've been gone for a long time. Are you here to stay?

[Mickey'sGirl]

Yes, now why didn't I think that?
Remember? You're the brawn and I'm the brains.... Jeesh.

Hey Janet -- Things never change around here.... :crazy: Glad to see you!

[pogo]

Can't do the boat shoes thing, but I did do the rock'n'roll thing too (as a matter of fact, I am still trying).
I bet it was easier when you didn't have to wear that hair piece ! :D


So I'm back...what have I missed?
Who are you ?? Where have you been ?? You will have to go back and read all 647 pages that were posted since you've been gone. Give me a :beer: and you won't have to !

Yes, now why didn't I think that?
Because you were not smart enough ??? :D

Remember? You're the brawn and I'm the brains.... Jeesh.

:hi: Cousin.... I'm betting your stronger than him too ! :D

[alpro2]

I bet it was easier when you didn't have to wear that hair piece ! :D

Get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, Pogo? Sheesh!

[pogo]

Get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, Pogo? Sheesh!Nope... why do you ask ???? :D

[ElenitaB]

Happy birthday, Euan!

Hi, Janet!


I was thinking about how I wanted to decorate my scrapbooking studio. I was thinking about painting some heads of certian cartoon characters in different areas. Does anyone know how I could get the heads there and looking professional from a very bad artist? I could do it with fabric but not drawing.
Do you have a projector or could you rent one? Just project the image you want on the wall and trace it. If not, you could always buy a cheap coloring book and trace the individual pages onto your wall. Good luck!


:hi: Nikki! My people tell me I am going to Chuck E. Cheese tonight .... Can somebody pass the Advil?:mickey: What about you?
You have my condolences. That's one mouse I'd be glad to never see again in my life. How about a :marg: first? Is it just your foursome or are you bringing along pint-sized guests. I had Ben's third birthday party there... I thought I would lose my mind!!


Soooo What's everyone doing in honour of Robbie Burns's birthday?:pipes:
I'm celebrating Euan's birthday, not Robbie Burns!


I think I'll try to make that next weekend to bring to a Superbowl party! Do you think I could make a low-fat version using reduced-fat crescents, neufatchel cheese, and smart balance?
Nikki, let us know if you do that and how it came out... I'd consider your makeover of the recipe but I think the original could cause me to see some emergency workers (and they may not be cute).

Well, off to get DS's ears lowered and to see if there's any hope for my dual level hair. Later!

[Christine]

I think I'll try to make that next weekend to bring to a Superbowl party! Do you think I could make a low-fat version using reduced-fat crescents, neufatchel cheese, and smart balance?
I don't know...my mind doesn't think that way! :blush:

Taking my boys to see U2 3D at the Imax tomorrow night.
:envy:

So I'm back...what have I missed?
Hopefully US!! :here:

We're off to Posado's again tonight for enchilladas and happy hour :marg:. I am REALLY enjoying my Friday night ritual! (Although this week I slipped a Wednesday in there too! :secret:) Anyone wanna join us??

[Dsnygirl]

Happy Birthday, Euan!!

Wow - you guys have been busy again... makes it hard for a girl to get anything done around here!! :blush:


Blythe, could you pm me that list?

Not a problem - let me get an "official" (sort-of) one from Dan and I'll send it on over!!


Blythe, what's DD? Do they sell warm milk and honey? I'm off to bed! The earliest in weeks so the warm milk should help.

Sorry - Dunkin' Donuts. Everybody around here just calls it the "double-d"... I prefer Starbucks, but on the way to work when eveything good is closed, you take what you can get!!


So, are you ready for this??? Drum roll please... I WON AT BUNKO TONIGHT!!! $30 bucks! And Canton is next week. What a coinky-dink!
Good job!! Canton must be amazing, I could spend $30 at Starbucks... (okay, not really, but if I bought enough bags of beans... :blush:)


I think we are going to go see the Bucket List movie tomorrow. Has anyone seen it ??

I'm not spending any of the tax rebate until I have the money in hand.

Nope, but we'd really like to. Maybe in the next weekend or two... you'll have to tell us what you guys think!

Ditto... but I've spent it time & time again in my mind... ;)


But I did meet Morgan Freeman in London at Miss Saigon back in the day.... That was a real thrill.....
How lucky are you!!! :cool:


Want to hear something funny? I met one of Maria's friends last night. When she came over to the house, it was a girl (woman) who I shared homeroom with in HS for four years! As you could imagine, she told Maria how bad I was in HS.
Hey - what are friends for???


But somehow I've done nothing but look at Lexus RX 360s!! But they're USED!!! That's following Dave's plan of never buying a new car, right???
Christine, you & I better never get together and really want something, b/c between us, I think we could rationalize our way into anything!! It's a gift, right???


It's the weekend! What's everyone doing?
Well, tonight we're just hanging out, relaxing... tomorrow we may go see a house that just came on the market that we'd at least like to walk through (funny thing about this house... I noticed it back in December when they put their Christmas lights on b/c it's set back off a side road we go by on the way to the stables. I'd never noticed it before b/c of that, but since it was dark on our way home in December, once their lights were on, it just struck me as such a pretty house, and I actually called Dan and said, "you'll never believe this house I just saw... it's so pretty, etc., etc., etc" So, I've been looking at it once & awhile on our way to and from the stables, and have always thought I really like it, why do those people have "my house", why can't houses like that go for sale, etc. And lo and behold, it went on the market 2 weeks ago!! Weird, huh?? So, we'll see what we think....)

Sunday, I'm doing a scrapbooking party for a friend (again, in Rochester) and will be gone most of the day doing it... not my preference, but it was the only day we could find and she was just so excited to have one, so... there you go.


My people tell me I am going to Chuck E. Cheese tonight .... Can somebody pass the Advil?
How about a :marg:??? My girls love that place... why, oh why is it so popular???


:Ooooo, I don't envy you!! That rat is not a favorite of mine! Do you have a flask?

Another good idea....

... and I'm going to try that recipe... but if it's as good as it sounds, you're in trouble...


Hi all! Are y'all enjoying your Friday?

I am just zooping in for a minute to say hello. I have to leave here shortly for a doctor visit. I am slowly getting back on my feet but have a hard time sitting in a chair to use the computer which is why you haven't seen me around here for a while.

So, does anyone want to give me the Readers Digest version of what is going on around here?
Hi Jasper!! I'm not good at the RD versions, so I'll just say hi and that I'm glad you're still getting better and better and up on your feet... it's good to see you here!!


C'mon, what kind of question is that? Up, of course.

Boy, we children of the 80's really thought we had it all going on, didn't we???


So I'm back...what have I missed?
Hi Janet!! Good to see you here -- I'm not sure I was a part of JQ when you were last around, and to try and tell you what you missed would take about 4 or 5 posts... so I'll just leave that to the "old guys"!! ;)

[Christine]

Christine, you & I better never get together and really want something, b/c between us, I think we could rationalize our way into anything!! It's a gift, right??? Absolutely...and yes, together we could do some serious damage! So we should really plan that!! :D

That makes me think of a friend of mine --she and I "feed" off each other. I can help her make peace with dropping a ton of cash on the most unnecessary thing, and vice versa!

One time when she had to go to the hospital for an operation, her husband asked the Dr. if he could take her "wanter" out! :funny:

Mine is inoperable!!! :D



... and I'm going to try that recipe... but if it's as good as it sounds, you're in trouble...



Then I'm gonna be in trouble b/c it's GOOD!

[Dsnygirl]

We're off to Posado's again tonight for enchilladas and happy hour :marg:. I am REALLY enjoying my Friday night ritual! (Although this week I slipped a Wednesday in there too!) Anyone wanna join us??
I wish!! I'll have to do a substitute here and open a bottle of :wine:... we're all out of Tequila!! :faint:

Boy, if Dan could have my "wanter" out, he wouldn't care what it cost... of course, with his new golf obesession, it gives me a little more leverage, as his "wanter" has gotten a little crazy lately... (somehow, I'm not sure that sounds the way I meant it to... :blush:)

So, we didn't hear back about seeing the house tomorrow... :( ... I'm hoping we can set something up in the morning. It's great that folks from Dan's work can represent us - helps with the $$$ end of things - but as for getting things done in a timely fashion, not so much... sigh... but then, I'm not known (at all) for my patience, either!! (Dan would probably say that's the understatement of the century...) I'll cross my fingers that we can work something out, and try to :zipped:. (:funny:) Dan really should be keeping up with us here... he'd be rolling on the floor right now...

I need a question -- what's for dinner???

[drummerboy]

Zoop.

Things went well today. No major casualties that we know of, no festering wounds. More later--supper's waiting.

Everybody Friday-ing all right?

[Caroleh]

Want to hear something funny? I met one of Maria's friends last night. When she came over to the house, it was a girl (woman) who I shared homeroom with in HS for four years! As you could imagine, she told Maria how bad I was in HS. :thedolls:

You were bad in high school? I don't believe that!!! :rotfl:


Carol sorry to hear about your DD. She's in the US right? That must make it even tougher.


Yes she is, in Iowa so it's not even that close.


Do you have a projector or could you rent one? Just project the image you want on the wall and trace it. If not, you could always buy a cheap coloring book and trace the individual pages onto your wall. Good luck!


I was thinking about the projector, but I like the Idea of the colouring book, only I think I'll use clip art. I was thinking about putting Goofy's head around the door area, Mickey around the window, and Donald hanging around someplace. Do you think that'll make a great place to hang out?

Hi Janet!!! Are you going to help Blythe, Ellen, Bethany and me teach these men scrapbooking?

[Christine]

his "wanter" has gotten a little crazy lately... (somehow, I'm not sure that sounds the way I meant it to... :blush:)
Now THAT's stinkin' hilarious! ;) :funny:




Things went well today. No major casualties that we know of, no festering wounds.
Hey, you set your goals and you go for 'em! :shrug:

I'm a TEENY bit tipsy after dinner (who's to say it's the :marg: and not the enchilladas???)
So I'm gonna take a hot bath, get my jammies, and get ready to watch Best Week Ever!

Does anyone else just LOVE that show??

[Dsnygirl]

So I'm gonna take a hot bath, get my jammies, and get ready to watch Best Week Ever!

Does anyone else just LOVE that show??
Okay, so you may be "movie challenged" (:D) but I am definitely getting the feeling around here that I am seriously "tv challenged"... I have NO idea what half the shows you guys talk about are, including this one!! Some I've heard of, but never watched... I am SO out of it when it comes to current TV!! I suppose part of it is b/c of my work hours 3 evenings a week, and it's certainly not from lack of desire... sigh... I am going to have to do something about this and learn to plant myself on that couch more often!! (of course, being in control of the remote would help, too....)

So - one kid down, one to go... then maybe I can relax.... but at least I already opened the :wine:!!! Anybody want some??

[ElenitaB]

Sorry - Dunkin' Donuts. Everybody around here just calls it the "double-d"... I prefer Starbucks, but on the way to work when eveything good is closed, you take what you can get!!

Weird, huh?? So, we'll see what we think....)
You know, now that I think of it... there always seems to be a DD near a hospital. Location, location, location (that and the fact that they have a 24/7 clientele located right near them).

I can spend $30 so easily at Starbucks. I have a "thing" for mugs and between the portable ones and the porcelain ones, and their water bottles, I'm often in trouble at the check-out counter.

Blythe, that is so cool about that house... I do hope it turns out to be as enchanting on the inside as it is on the outside. Sounds wonderful! And the fact that it came on the market, sounds like Someone was listening. Hope you can see it soon.

So after tonight's general carousing, what's happening this weekend? I'm throwing a DCL House Party this Sunday but no one is coming. :cry: Anyone want to come to my party virtually? There's even gifts to be had.

[disneydeb]

Are you feeling any better Deb?




I think so. Thanks for asking.


:party:Happy Birthday, Euan!:party:

I'm glad you are feeling better too!

Jenn, What a scare that must have been!
Is that a question?:D

Carol, Here's pixie dust for your daughter, it is scary to be between jobs.:pixie:

T&G, I'm sorry to hear about your friend :hug:

Pogo, Did you retire?

Ken, I had my hubby drive me to the hospital when I thought I was having a heart attack. I think you were smart to call the paramedics.

Ellen, Have you tried on those vacation clothes yet?

[BronxTigger]

So after tonight's general carousing, what's happening this weekend? I'm throwing a DCL House Party this Sunday but no one is coming. :cry: Anyone want to come to my party virtually? There's even gifts to be had.

I wanted to come. Can I take a raincheck? Please? I want to see the DCL stuff!

Christine...how much longer are those cookies for sale? The lady that sells them at my school came back but she said the cookie sales are done here :confused: she thinks. I don't like the lady anyways so I don't know what to do.

Blythe...that's awesome about that house. I hope everything works out for you. (and I hope "everything" includes a JQ WDW December trip too!)

T&G...sorry to hear about your friend.

Caroleh....sorry to hear about your DD and both her and your jobs. I hope things work out.

Euan...Happy Birthday! and I hope you're feeling better!

Everybody....have a great weekend! I'm going to the Habitat for Humanity thing tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it goes! I'm off to bed...I have to be in East New York by 8:30! (:ack:)

[Christine]

Glad you're feeling better, Deb!

[drummerboy]

OK, here's the scoop. You have to know me and my background to know how much I feel like a fish out of water at these Bar functions, but I can fake it fairly well anyway. I think it was George Gobel who came on one of Johnny Carson's shows when he had Sinatra, Dean Martin, and a bunch of other "cool" guys of the time and said "Do you ever feel like the whole world's a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes?" I'm the brown shoes.

So with that in mind, I MC'd the banquet last night with about 200 lawyers in attendance, and then DW and I sat across from a retired NC appeals court judge and next to the current president of the state bar association. Today at the leadership seminar, I had to do part of the welcoming remarks, then sat between another retired appeals court judge and a current federal judge. Think I was gasping for air through my gills? :D

[drummerboy]

Not sure what's on the breakfast menu for tomorrow. We're staying at DD2's house and visiting with the grandkiddies for a bit, so who knows?

I'll have to catch up with all the posts when I get home.

[Dsnygirl]

Me, too... I love all their mugs, esp. the travel ones that come out at holidays... like I really need another one under the sink!!

Thanks - I hope we like it, and then again, I hope we don't. I went and sat across the street from it today after dropping Julia off for her lesson - it's the closest I've been to it, as I always just see it from a distance. It really is sweet, it has a stone wall around the front of the yard by the street and pretty lamp posts at the end of the driveway.... stone ones w/ lanterns on them... :) ... but it's also a little more than we'd like to pay at the moment, and would still need some interior work - just cosmetic, but still there. So... I kinda hope we really don't like it... but I also hope we love it and want it beyond reason. There's logic for you, right?? :crazy:

I'd love to come to your DCL party... what's DCL?? :blush: Disney Cruise Line?? Regardless, I'd come to any party you're throwing, just to be able to hang out again.


Blythe...that's awesome about that house. I hope everything works out for you. (and I hope "everything" includes a JQ WDW December trip too!)

Thanks!! Me, too!! ;)

Have fun tomorrow... I'm envious that you're involved in something like that, it's something I'd really like to do. If we didn't have the girls, I'd love to be one of those nurses that goes wherever the Red Cross needs volunteers after a major disaster, like New Orleans, etc... hopefully I'll still have it in me to do after they get big!!

Good for you!! You might have been gasping, but I bet no one knew it, and your "brown shoes" fit right in, with nobody the wiser!! But I bet it also felt good to come home and crash and relax... :D


What should we have for breakfast? Cinnamon toast or egg taquitos?
Tough choices... I'd have to vote for the taquitos, as they just sound good to me right now!!


Not sure what's on the breakfast menu for tomorrow. We're staying at DD2's house and visiting with the grandkiddies for a bit, so who knows?

Have a fun trip -- we'll try to behave while you're gone!! (And I bet you have pancakes... nothing like sticky little hands and sweet, syrupy little ones' breath to cheer up a morning!!) :)

[pogo]

yeah..... a couple of times. :D

Sometimes it's nice to be the brown shoes, Big Guy ! :D

(From Olivia:))

Hi! My name is Olivia. My mommy said that I could get on ENTERCOT! I LOVE to be on INTERCOT. Even though this is my first time.:mickey:

:hi: Olivia.... are you as funny as your Mommy ??? I know you are as pretty as she is... I've seen your picture.

Tell your Mommy she can let you say Hi to us any time ! :D

[Melanie]

Hey guys - just a quick moderator alert. :cop:

If you think a word might be borderline cussing, it probably is considered as such on INTERCOT. ;) Remember, we're family-friendly to the bone.

Sorry for the interruption! :)

[ElenitaB]

Ken, we're so glad that you're "brown shoes" like the rest of us, but I bet you fit in just fine with all the tuxedoes. They might be judges but they don't play the drums, drive an RV or write prize-winning stories like you do!


Ellen, Have you tried on those vacation clothes yet?
As a matter of fact, I've been doing a very good job of avoidng it. But at 18 days out, I can avoid it no longer.

Well, I guess I should get some sleep, huh? Who's making breakfast in the AM?

[trackbarroness]

hello Melanears and good morning.
umm okay
Who wants some coffee? :D
Oh Melanears? If you need a question I could lend you one of mine. :D Lolol
When's your next visit to WDW?

[alpro2]

You were bad in high school? I don't believe that!!! :rotfl:

Amazing, isn't it? Who would have ever thunk it? :D

We have to turn in our orders Tuesday. We're going out tomorrow to hit up the neighbors! One last push before we have to turn them in!

Quick, close the curtains, turn out the lights! :D

(From Olivia:))

Hi! My name is Olivia. My mommy said that I could get on ENTERCOT! I LOVE to be on INTERCOT. Even though this is my first time.

Hi Olivia. Did you know that your mommy is just a little :goofy:? :D


Where did you get the picture of Alex ???

Green is not your color, Pogo. :D

[Dsnygirl]

Where did you get the picture of Alex ???
:goofy: :rotfl:


Who's making breakfast in the AM?
Dan just did... yummy scrambled eggs with cheese & salami mixed in. :eat:

My house is unnaturally quiet this morning... Dan took Emma off to ballet, Julia is reading her Nancy Drew book and the animals are all asleep... pretty weird!!

I won't be around much today or tomorrow... after working 6 out of the last 7 nights, I've got some serious stuff to get done around here!! Plus, friends are coming over tonight and I've got my scrapbooking thingy tomorrow - and hopefully we'll get to walk through the house we're interested in (that kept me up half the night thinking about, why I don't know... :() so.... I hope you all have a great day and a great weekend... I'll zoop in later!!

(Anybody trying Christine's recipe this weekend?? I am, tonight... I'll let you all know how it is!!)

[Nascfan]

Ooo, can I? Can I give Mel the :nono: for not putting in a question? ;) Yes, even our mods are not exempt, right?

Geez Blythe, are you tired after working that many nights? I'd be exhausted. Have a GREAT Saturday everyone!

[pogo]

Good morning all.... happy weekend !

Cousin... did you survive Chucky Cheese last night ???


Hey guys - just a quick moderator alert.

If you think a word might be borderline cussing, it probably is considered as such on INTERCOT. Remember, we're family-friendly to the bone.

Sorry for the interruption!
Thanks Mel... I'll keep an eye on Ellen, Ken and Rhonda and make sure they comply ! :D

Quick, close the curtains, turn out the lights!

:funny:

Dan just did... yummy scrambled eggs with cheese & salami mixed in.
Go Dan ! :thumbsup:

Hi Scott..... watching the Buick Open today ?? :D

[Nascfan]

Hi Scott..... watching the Buick Open today ?? :D

I sure hope to a little. Tiger's up by what, 4 strokes? He doesn't seem to have lost anything over the winter. :thumbsup:

Lauren is itching to get out already. It's a little tough with snow on the ground and it being in the teens and twenties!

[Caroleh]

Where did you get the picture of Alex ???


Oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm using your picture!!! :D Is it okay for me to do that? I needed a question!!!

I hope everything works out with the house for you, Blythe. It would be great to have a house you really wanted!! It almost sounds like a storybook place.

I was thinking about having Gilles pick the ingredients for me today and make it!!

I have found a house that I wouldn't mind but to get it I'll have to win the lottery. It's a farm house that has a pond with a barn nearby the pond. I had dreamed about a place like that one night. I was dreaming that I opened up a place where you could have quilting/scrapbooking retreats in the barn and a bed and breakfast place for the guests. The next day we were driving around and there it was..that was 4 years ago and I still haven't won the lottery!!!

Oh, Ken, I really know about the brown shoes thing. I love to be my own person and be different from everyone else, but when I have to get together with all the other managers I feel like a fish out of water. They all wear dresses or suits and I want my blue jeans. We'll keep you and your brown shoes anyday!!!

Hi Olivia!!! :hi: Like Pogo said you can say hi anytime you want!! That goes for Emma and Julia also!!! Hi Emma!!:hi: Hi Julia!!:hi:

[offwego]

I'll come! DCL? Disney cruise line? I don't need a gift though...just maybe a cookie!:blush:

That's how I feel too. But I'm not online on Sunday's so can I be virtually there?

"Do you ever feel like the whole world's a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes?" I'm the brown shoes.

Seriously Ken I think most of us feel this way about those kind of functions. Good for you for doing it anyway. (and besides I'm sure it's very good for not only your firm but the local legal community and lawyer jokes aside good legal advise is imporant to so many people when you think about things like real estate, wills and estate planning, starting businesses, contracts etc...all the stuff you don't much enjoy does help you to help your clients which I'm sure you do enjoy).

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

[pogo]

Lauren is itching to get out already. It's a little tough with snow on the ground and it being in the teens and twenties! I know the feeling... I've got the itch too ! :golf:

I'm going to miss a little of the Buick, but we'll catch the later holes. Go Tiger ! :D


Oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm using your picture!!! :D Is it okay for me to do that? I needed a question!!!
:shake: Tell Giles he married a traitor !

[ElenitaB]

Who's got the Lysol? Hubby is feeling puny - AGAIN!
Rhonda, just what are you doing to that man? ;)

I woke up not well today. :( My tummy is not a happy camper. But don't worry, the puter was doused with Lysol before I posted. There goes my plans to head out to the bank so I can get quarters to tackle my mountain of laundry.

[Caroleh]

:pixie::pixie: for you Ellen. I hope you feel better soon. Don't you just hate going to the bank for those coins?

[ElenitaB]

Don't you just hate going to the bank for those coins?
Yes! Will you have a washer/dryer in your new place? That would be :cloud9: I wouldn't mind doing laundry under those circumstances.

Isn't it annoying when you reach for medicine that you don't use often (thank goodness), only to find that it's past its expiration date? Luckily, the OTC med I had to take only expired in December 07, so I took it anyway.

[Caroleh]

Yes! Will you have a washer/dryer in your new place? That would be :cloud9: I wouldn't mind doing laundry under those circumstances.



Yes we will!! I am so looking forward to it. Here we have $1 coins, so we have to have loonies($1 coin) and quarters. For the wash it takes $1.75 and $1.50 for the dryer. I explained to Gilles that'll save us over $500 a year by not having to use those machines.

Ellen, what's DCL?

Does anyone want to help cut out my panels for my windows?

[ElenitaB]

DCL = Disney Cruise Line

Sure, I'll come help you cut your curtain panels. What time should I be there? And should I bring a cabernet or a chianti? :wine:

[Caroleh]

That's what I thought, but when you said DCL House Party, I thought it was something like a Tupperware type party. I was just thinking since we don't have as many of those type parties up here as you do down there. I really miss my Longaberger baskets.

Anytime will be nice, I almost have the panels cut for our great room/breakfast nook. I really hate crawling around on the floor to cut anything out. A cabernet would be nice, for reds I love a good merlot.

Where is everyone this afternoon?

[drummerboy]

Hi Scott..... watching the Buick Open today ?? :D
I just don't think I could stand there watching doors and hoods and trunks open all day, I don't care if it is a Buick. :D


You should be glad he didn't the French thing and kiss you on both cheeks!!:D
Gilles is French? Do you pronounce it Giy-yess?

Well, we're back home. Ate breakfast at Golden Corral (so if a bunch of angels are singing while you eat, would it be a Golden Chorale?) Ouch, quit throwing things.

DW and I grumbled all the way home about the way the whole band thing was done. We have no problem with change; it's just the underhanded and mean-spirited way they did it. They've already interviewed and hired someone else, and apparently plan to pay him, after they told everybody that pay for conductors wasn't discussed. We've decided we're going to turn this thing into lemonade.

I hope everyone's doing well with illnesses, new houses, problems with old houses, etc.

We're resting for the remains of the day. Tomorrow, I get to help DW move things into her new antiques booth downtown and do a few other chores before she heads off RVing.

[Caroleh]

He's actually Isreali. His father is Algerian and mother is Moroccan, so you could say he is sort of French. When his family moved to Canada they lived in Montreal. His name is pronounced Jil, a soft G and no s. When we were buying our couch (http://www.leons.ca/common/product/LargerImage.aspx?ItemId=240315&dft=7520.481151893854) our salesman was orginally from Montreal and went to the same high school as Gilles went to. What a small world, eh?

Ken, are you working on getting a new RV from a company that starts with a W so my DD can work again? :D

[pogo]

Hi everyone.... we got home after watching the Bucket List movie and all I can say is wow.
I'll post a review after dinner. :D


I know I've been scarce lately, but you don't really have to leave out your question just so that I'l post. :nono:
Come on Rhonda.... is it bad to crave your attention ??? :D

I woke up not well today. :( My tummy is not a happy camper.
I'm sorry you are not feeling well today. Here's a :hug: and :pixie: for you.

You should be glad he didn't the French thing and kiss you on both cheeks!!
He better not ever french me any way.... any how ! :shake:

Do you want me to send Gilles over to see you?

Cool beans, is this her first antique booth? I manage a Antique store here in Michigan. If you want expand west give me a gingle :secret: :D

Okay, so I'm trying to keep up but sometimes it's so hard. How does everyone stay in touch with this thread?

1. He's actually Isreali. His father is Algerian and mother is Moroccan, so you could say he is sort of French. When his family moved to Canada they lived in Montreal. His name is pronounced Jil, a soft G and no s.

3. Ken, are you working on getting a new RV from a company that starts with a W so my DD can work again? :D
1. I knew you'd said he was Iraeli, but I couldn't figure out the French hugging part. Now I'll know how to say his name if I ever get to a meet.:thumbsup:

2. Wow. I thought that was the couch in the showroom. Is your house always that neat? If so, you'd probably have apoplexy if you came to the DDPI HQ (my house).

3. Sorry, we're pretty well stuck with the one we have for now. I take it RV sales are down quite a bit as well.

She had another one for a while, but it was on a second floor, and she had a hard time getting things up and down with her back problems and gave it up. This one is at street level. The place was a dry goods store forever and the owner finally retired and sold it. DW says she'll have to get back to you on moving westward. :D

Catching up is sometimes half the fun on this thread. But don't worry about it--just jump in the middle and we'll catch up with you. We love to keep expanding the family.

:D That's the picture from the website where we bought it. If my house looked like that I'd thought I'd died and gone to heaven!!! We aren't having it delivered until we get the house. It'll be living in the new house before we are!!!

I'd love to have some antiques besides the DH!!!:D My sister got all of them when my great aunt passed away.

Does anyone have any extra questions?

Who's Robbie Burns?

A Scottish poet laurate. The man who blesses the haggis and wrote the words to auld ang syne. You also have to drink lots of really good Scotch whiskey!! Can you handle it?

Great pictures!!! Was that you with the pony tail?

Hey Jym.... our local store has the JW Blue Label for $196.00 a bottle. Is that a good price and should I have bought more than one ???? :DYeah, that's good. it's $230 - 250 here. Hmm, what a great baby shower present that would make. You know, to dip the pacifier in. Is that legal?

Yeah, that's good. it's $230 - 250 here. Hmm, what a great baby shower present that would make. You know, to dip the pacifier in. Is that legal?
Not legal and I was going to bring you one to help celebrate the birth, but I'm afraid to now after that comment. I don't think you can be trusted. :D


Okay, let's hear it since I never go to the movies!!

We attended the afternoon showing of the Bucket List starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson and we were very much surprised by what we saw. This was another hit movie by Rod Reiner.

The story line is that of two men. One man is rich in money and the other, rich in family meeting in a hospital. Both being diagnosed terminal with cancer and being told they only have six months to a year to live.

They decide to experience all the things in life that they wanted to do most before they kick the bucket, so they write it all down on a list and cross them off, one by one, as they complete the task.

Their adventures take them around the world and back and they take you along to enjoy all their experiences.

I won’t spoil it by telling you any more about the series of events, but I will caution you to take a lot of tissues with you for the good and the bad. Patti and I were both in tears by the end of the movie and we took one thing with us. Never put off what you’d like to do in life, for any reason. This has been my thinking all along and those that know me will attest to that. But this movie has re-inspired my conviction to it.

I feel some of you should not see this movie because of the extreme emotions portrayed and the realistic portrayal of this nasty disease. Some movies are better left unseen.

[drummerboy]

Thanks, Ken!! We didn't want anything to dark, but yet something that'll hide the cat's grey fur.

Great pictures!!! Was that you with the pony tail?
Funny about the couch color. We have one in the den that our gray great dane kind of blends into.

Yup, that's me at the drum kit, ponytail, ham head, and all.


Great photo's.... what make of drums are you playing there ?? They look like DW. :D.
They're a cheap import kit I got when I started taking lessons, (except the Slingerland snare) but they sound pretty good and live permanently in the car for rehearsals. I pretty well stick with Zildjian cymbals. I've got a good Tama kit that comes out to play when we do concerts and such. It's the "Rock Star" version, stained black.

Did everybody keep up with that? :D

[pogo]

There are no better cymbals than Zildjan. I play a classic set. 1973 vintage, Rogers Power Nine. It has double 24" basses, four mounted tom/toms, two floor toms, dynasonic chrome snare and six Zildjan's and New Beat high hats.
This was my tour set and I can't part with them for nothing.

Do you suppose we are the only people here that know what we are talking about ??? :D

Going to bed.... nite, nite.... :sleepin:

[drummerboy]

I fogot to mention that 'Christmas Past' is my 'young' son-in-law (the one that's about a year younger than me, and the inspiration for my ponytail).

The last picture is my two granddaughters in their wigs and costumes. One night, the guy who played their father (and also played Christmas Yet to Come) got his vest button caught in the older one's wig when he hugged them 'good night' before their exit. He ad-libbed very well and stayed in character until he got it unstuck and got a seperate applause when he did. :D

Do any of you who won't be in the show want tickets for next year? :D

[trackbarroness]

Good morning JQ'ers :D how did everyone sleep last night? Are you ready for the day?
So what are we going to do today? Anyone want to teach me about scapbooking yet? :D The coffee is ready so who's cooking this am? I'll just make some eggs and what not, nothing fancy. Somehow Stitch got coffee yesterday so he was running amok in the 2 theatres. I do hope they got him to settle down before the party started. I think he got lose over in Space Mountain because they were also experiencing problems as well yesterday. I wonder if they opened at all yesterday. Aloha cousins
Have a magical day :thumbsup:

[Natazu]

Good morning JQ'ers :D how did everyone sleep last night? Still up. I'll nap a little later.


Are you ready for the day? absolutely not


So what are we going to do today? I gotta work. I need to go to Sam's Club and get some saline


Anyone want to teach me about scapbooking yet? I volunteer Rachel


The coffee is ready so who's cooking this am? I just made some swordfish, honey glazed carrots, & creamed corn

Was there another question?

How soon should I be there? That sounds great!!!

Nope, I just find websites that have pictures of it. I did carry pictutes of the house, is that over the line?

[drummerboy]

I was wondering aloud to DW last night wheter anyone has done sofa upholstery with a potato motif. Seems like it would fit just right in a lot of households, don't you think?

Latest news in the band fiasco. Apparently they rushed out and got somebody who has a music degree of some sort and has conducted a choral group from time to time, but evidently not an instrumental group. It's going to be fun to see what happens. DW and I have decided we're going to have fun with it rather than let it get us down.

Alex, did you get us a lead singer for our band yet? Pogo offered to play bass. We might need at least one more guitar too.

Good luck Deb in the house cleaning. I did a bit yesterday, after Christmas all the decorations were all over the place. I needed to get them back in order.

How is everyone's Sunday? Not bad here, we are suppose to have a warm up shortly, WOO HOO! Ready for some 40 degree weather. A tropical heat wave that will be. Plus it has to be nice for this Thursday, have some major plans that day! Keep your fingers crossed for no snow storms. :fingers:

[pogo]

Right with you man. Being a guitar man I have been around allot of drums. Does that make sense?
Sure does, unless they were square drums ! Have you ever seen them ?? I did back in 1970 in Tokyo and I even played them. Wierd ! :D

I love our Sundays.... we just returned from church and breakfast and we are looking at a little road trip for April. Our trip might include a quick stop in Cary, NC to visit Patti's neice and her baby. Just a quick overnight stay and then back on the road for a nine hour drive. Does anyone know where we're thinking about going ??? :D

I hear it's nice there. Any truth to that ?? :confused:


Mary, Mikki and Pogo there at the same time? Now that could be dangerous!
Could be at that. But then again... we are still not sure. We need to be sure about December. We'll see. :D

[MauiMouse]

Very close, I arrive on the 20th and depart on the 24th. How about the P&P party on the 23rd? :pirate:

[disneydeb]

Mary, Mikki and Pogo are going to be in North Carolina in April. Is that what I read? Anyone planning a meet? Why is Mikki going to North Carolina?

We decided to have a "JQ" Meet in North Carolina. Want to come ?? :D

[drummerboy]

I hear it's nice there. Any truth to that ?? :confused:
Carowinds? Not sure about that; I haven't been in years. If you mean Cary, it's pretty nice, but has become a suburb of Raleigh.


Mary, Mikki and Pogo are going to be in North Carolina in April. Is that what I read? Anyone planning a meet? Why is Mikki going to North Carolina?
Why wouldn't Mikki want to come to North Carolina? She'd feel right at home with Durham, Oxford, etc.. And of course there's always the ever-popular tourist attraction, world headquarters of DDPI.

[MauiMouse]

:goodbad: Do you have to dress up ??? :blush:

But of course! :D Mikki did I believe on her last P&P Party. Good luck in finding that appropriate costume.

Okay what is DDPI? Never been to North Carolina so I'm looking forward to the visit. :thumbsup:

Deb, how's that cleaning going?

[pjbs35a]

Who likes Frog Legs ???

Ribbit! This Green Isn't Part of Salad

You just don't want to eat some greens. That's how a Brooklyn mom felt when she found a tiny frog comfortably nestled in the leaves of organic lettuce she was preparing to eat.


"I jumped away," said 39-year-old Yvonne Brechbuhler, who described the green critter as no bigger than the tip of her pinky finger.


"I didn't know what it was. But once I realized it was a frog, I was OK," she told the Daily News in Thursday editions.


Intrigued, she named the frog "Curious."


Brechbuhler, a stage actress, said she bought the lettuce at her local food co-op and kept it in the refrigerator three days before using it last week.


Brechbuhler and her 7-year-old daughter, Orla, placed the frog in a jar on a bed of lettuce leaves and water, and fed it fruit flies they collected at a nearby garden. Afterward, they decided Curious would be happier at an animal facility specializing in reptiles and amphibians. The facility, Sean Casey Animal Rescue, has put it up for adoption.


An employee at the food co-op said it was the first such incident in memory.

Sure, it is closer to Tennessee than Niagra Falls.:thumbsup:

Ken, I'm sure Mikkie will love North Carolina. I just must have missed a post somewhere..

and the cleaning... clothes are clean, dinner is cooking and that's about it.

I ran out of antibiotics yesterday and now my ear is hurting again:( Does that mean I have to go back to the Dr.?

[dlpmikki]

Let me make it absolutely clear. I have no plans to visit North Carolina. I'm sure it is a lovely place but it doesn't contain a certain mouse. Is that OK?

Our Pirate costumes are safely stored in our Owners Locker so we would certainly be up for a P&P party on the 23rd. Our swords are also in storage so I hope Pogo can come along for the ride as we need a suitably bedraggled prisoner :thedolls:

Who ele is planning on visiting WDW in April? :D

[Beast_fanatic]

I've accomplished almost nothing this weekend. Can I have a do-over?

[pogo]

But of course! Mikki did I believe on her last P&P Party. Good luck in finding that appropriate costume.
I think you're right. I remember seeing them. Don't you think she makes a great Pirate ?? :D

No dear Rhonda..... there are no do-overs in life. Didn't you read my comments on the movie, The Bucket List, on page 17 ???? :(

Don't you trust me? Jeanne survived the experience but she was well behaved. Could you manage that? Sure I trust you. :fingers: But,
I'm never well behaved..... so I think I'd be in trouble ! ;) Don't you ??? Maybe Alex could come along and take some heat off me ! :D

[BronxTigger]

I'll be in Disney in April...from the 22-24! But I'll be in DisneyLAND...does that count?? :D

[alpro2]

Alex, did you get us a lead singer for our band yet? Pogo offered to play bass. We might need at least one more guitar too.
Do we want a male or a female singer?


I'm never well behaved..... so I think I'd be in trouble ! ;) Don't you ??? Maybe Alex could come along and take some heat off me ! :D
You are on your own brother. I have learned never to be in the Dutchess', I mean, Mikki's doghouse.

Hmmmm, what shall I do tomorrow? :D

[drummerboy]

Okay what is DDPI? Never been to North Carolina so I'm looking forward to the visit. :thumbsup:

I don't guess you've had a chance to become familiar with Drummerboy Discount Products International, have you? Our motto: If we don't carry it, you don't need it!


Ken, I'm sure Mikkie will love North Carolina. I just must have missed a post somewhere..
Nah, it was just hard to keep up with what was real and what was surreal. :D As for the earache--you could always avoid the Dr. and take the Van Gogh approach. :thedolls:


Let me make it absolutely clear. I have no plans to visit North Carolina. I'm sure it is a lovely place but it doesn't contain a certain mouse. Is that OK?
No it is not OK. I'll have you know we plenty of mice. I saw signs of them just today while I was cleaning out my garage.


Do we want a male or a female singer?
I was thinking of a Janice Joplin sound, so either one will do.

Who's got the hot chocolate ready?

[disneydeb]

Looks like nobody, since you had Strawberry Quik.

[alpro2]

Would you want to see Pogo in spandex?

Do you think Pogo would make a good Tommy Lee? That is why we stick him in the back behind the drum kit.

How about Frankie as our lead singer?

[drummerboy]

Y'know, with Frankie's award-winning legs, he might just look good in spandex. And with all his disguises, we could put him out there as just about anybody.

Deb, we'll get back to you babe.

Jym, Jym, Jym. I was just reading a note that Pogo passed to me the other day, so there.

Now who's got the hot chocolate ready?

Intrigued, she named the frog "Curious."

Happy Monday everyone!

[ElenitaB]

Have a MAH-velous Monday, everyone!

Can I have a cup of Strawberry Quik, please? I made scones this morning (really... woke up at 5:30 and couldn't go back to sleep... NOW I'm tired). They're oatmeal choc chip. Anyone want one?

I'll pass on the quik but take a scone. I couldn't sleep either last night. Was it the moon do you think?

[disneydrmr]

Happy Monday.... mine's busy.. No VP around this week, but we are swamped.. I've been trying to post since 8:30 ...the phones won't stop ringing...



Does anybody else here like the Nestle Quick strawberry version? I'm having some right now.

Got any left? I really loved the Banana version - but can't find it anymore.. so Strawberry is my next favorite...



Now who's got the hot chocolate ready?

I have some ready for you...do you want me to melt a candy cane in it? Give it a nice fresh minty flavor?



Who doesn't look good in Spandex?


I could name off NUMEROUS people who won't look good in spandex! :D

Hhhmmm..... Are you going to celebrate it at WDW this year.....
like the 16th to the 26th ?? :blush:

Naming names now ??? :D

[Mickey'sGirl]

Hhhmmm..... Are you going to celebrate it at WDW this year.....
like the 16th to the 26th ?? :blush:
Nope -- we're off to California this summer -- and it will eat up all of our resources and then some. Do you know that 2 nights and 3 days at DLR costs as much as a week at WDW?

[disneydrmr]

Naming names now ??? :D

Yep - are you worried that you might be on the list? :D


Nope -- we're off to California this summer -- and it will eat up all of our resources and then some. Do you know that 2 nights and 3 days at DLR costs as much as a week at WDW?

Just wait until you guys pay for food!!! Talk about more expensive than Disneyworld! Ugh! If you do the Paradise Pier or Storyteller's Cafe character breakfasts you can order off the menu - you do not need to pay the almost $30 for a buffet! (yep! That's how much paradise pier was - I love Stitch and all but $30 for breakfast was a bit much!) If you want any hints or such on Disneyland feel free to ask!

[pogo]

Nope -- we're off to California this summer -- and it will eat up all of our resources and then some. Do you know that 2 nights and 3 days at DLR costs as much as a week at WDW?
I didn't know that...... then why go there ?? :confused:


Yep - are you worried that you might be on the list?

You bet I'm worried ! :hide2:

[Mickey'sGirl]

I didn't know that...... then why go there ?? :confused:
Didn't you know that I have a severe travel bug? I haven't been to CA for years -- and Brian and the boys have never been to DL -- so I want to go there -- It's actually the flights that will kill us! Thank goodness for Air Miles! :thumbsup: Since we're going out -- we'll spend a couple of weeks -- some time in Monterey, San Francisco, Sacramento and pop over to Portland to see some family. I'm really looking forward to it! Harry wants to show Euan Alcatraz..... It will be a good time!

Di -- we have opted out of all food packages. We will only have three days there, and I don't know my way around any more.... and it's completely foreign to the boys...so I'll have to guage their reactions too.... We're taking it as it goes. I wouldn't mind some info on the California park -- I've never been there.

[Jasper]

Y'know, with Frankie's award-winning legs, he might just look good in spandex. And with all his disguises, we could put him out there as just about anybody.

Now who's got the hot chocolate ready?

OK, with all this talk about everyone wearing spandex who else besides me thinks we will need to add a certain kind of liquid booster to our hot chocolate?

[Mickey'sGirl]

OK, with all this talk about everyone wearing spandex who else besides me thinks we will need to add a certain kind of liquid booster to our hot chocolate?You ain't kidding! How you feeling Jasper?:mickey:

[Jasper]

You ain't kidding! How you feeling Jasper?:mickey:

Thanks for asking. I am doing OK. I am slowly getting better and am up and about more and more. The doctor says I am only suppose to be up and about for an hour or so a day but in reality I have been doing about five or six hours a day. I am VERY motivated to get up and going because we are suppose to go to Las Vegas in March for the annual costume show for my wife's store.

We are scheduled to go March 15 and return March 18 so we won't be there very long. Since this is our first trip there does anyone have any suggestions for us?

[offwego]

Hi Jasper glad your feeling better. I'm no help on Vegas. And can't help Jenn either with DL.

Hmm..why am I here again?

[Jasper]

Hi Jasper glad your feeling better. I'm no help on Vegas. And can't help Jenn either with DL.

You are here because we all love you so much and would miss your sparkling wit if you weren't here!!

So do I get brownie points for that answer?

[BriarRose0708]

Just zooping in. Who else is extremely busy today?

[offwego]

You are here because we all love you so much and would miss your sparkling wit if you weren't here!!

So do I get brownie points for that answer?

If you were closer you'd get brownies!! What a sweet answer.

Now how about some serious stuff. Like what does one wear to a costume convention?

[drummerboy]

OK, with all this talk about everyone wearing spandex who else besides me thinks we will need to add a certain kind of liquid booster to our hot chocolate?
Each additional booster will make the wearer look better and better, eh?


We are scheduled to go March 15 and return March 18 so we won't be there very long. Since this is our first trip there does anyone have any suggestions for us?
Yup--the odds always favor the house. :D
Glad you're improving. DW was encouraged to do water aerobics to increase her back strength without putting pressure on it, and that helped her.

[Jasper]

If you were closer you'd get brownies!! What a sweet answer.

Now how about some serious stuff. Like what does one wear to a costume convention?

UH, you do realize there is always Drummerboys discount brownie delivery service don't you? He guarantees to get them delivered while they are still hot or he uses the exhaust from the RV to reheat them for you!!

As for what to wear to a costume convention the sky is the limit! Actually, it is getting to be more and more about what you don't wear rather than what you do wear. The hottest thing going is "sexy" costumes for adults. With that thought in mind, several of the manufacturers have fashion shows where they display their sexy costumes.

What I don't understand though is why my wife has taken to putting a blindfold on me before we walk in to the show!! I feel as though there is something I am missing!!

You sneaky devil you! You managed to get your post in while I was replying to the other one!

Fortunately the gambling is not that big of a deal for us. We have hit the gambling boats in our area a few times in the past and didn't find it all that much fun. We plan on taking a few dollars to gamble with but don't plan on spending a whole lot in the casinos.

I have done the water aerobics in the past and it is a real help over doing land exercises. The problem we have here is the lack of indoor pools that are available at a reasonable price. Our high school used to let outside groups rent their pool for a reasonable price but have stopped it recently for liability reasons.

So, does anyone have a good question I can ask?

[disneydrmr]

Just zooping in. Who else is extremely busy today?

Hi! Glad you stopped by! I've been swamped today. We are short staffed so it's been hectic.

Where's The Beef ???

Angus Steer Escapes Slaughterhouse, On Loose in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI — Searchers on the ground and in a sheriff's department helicopter Monday were looking for an Angus steer that postponed its date with a slaughterhouse by bolting out a gate that had been inadvertently left open.

The more than 1,000-pound animal escaped from a slaughterhouse holding pen Monday morning and ran into the woods of suburban Cincinnati, according to Colerain Township police and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.

The steer was last seen heading into woods several blocks north of Stehlin's Meat Market and Interstate 275, said Dick Stehlin, co-owner of the meatpacking business. He said the bovine should be approached with caution.

"It's not, say, a mean animal or anything like that, it's just sort of in a panic stage," Stehlin said. "It's just out running, not even knowing where it's heading."

It's not the first time a steer has been on the loose in the Cincinnati area. In September 2006, a steer named Little Red ran from a fair and eluded capture for three days.

[disneydeb]

What's missing?

[Caroleh]

What's missing?

A whole lot of steaks!!!

Since he's on the loose, is he a bum steer?

Where's Blythe been hiding?

What's missing?Missing ???? I didn't take anything.... why are you pointing your finger at me ???? :blush:

Some place between Marcellus and Syracuse. :D

Anyone ever feel Eeyore-ish? [/QUOTE]

I feel that way right now. Something is going on in my personal life that has me very depressed. I've talked about it with people, and its not really helping any.

I don't feel like talking about it anymore. Can I just have a bunch of Pixie Dust? I don't know if it will help, but I know it can't hurt.

Thanks guys. Sorry to be such a downer, but thats who I am for a while.

Is the spandex conversation over now?

Did you think it was? :D

I think we need to consider who is going to be controlling the Joker Pogo. I think Ken would make a good Batman and I suspect Alex is just dying to be Robin :funny::fresh:

[disneydeb]

What is everyone doing today?

I'm going to my endocrinologist (expecting a good tongue lashing, finger- wagging). I am not looking forward to this.

I hope your day goes better than mine is looking to be.

[pogo]

April 5th is our 22nd! April is a very popular month for JQ weddings!
I always thought it was. We are looking to celebrate it at WDW again this year, but Patti is having trouble with vacation time.

How do you celebrate your anniversary ??? :D

Oh Morgan.... here's some :pixie: and a :hug:from Rochester, NY. I hope it helps.

People will always try to help a friend by getting them to talk. But the key is YOU.

YOU and only you have the power to make you feel better.

YOU can allow the situation to control you, OR YOU can control the situation ! It is YOUR choice !

1) Live your life to the fullest. Life is what YOU make of it.
2) Change what is in your power to change.
3) Don't worry or dwell on what you do not have any power over.
4) If you don't have the power to change it, and it is affecting your life negatively, then walk away from it and let someone else deal with it.

Why do I feel like the TheRustyScupper?? :D

I hope so... it was Alex I tell you.... Alex ! :D

I think we need to consider who is going to be controlling the Joker Pogo. I think Ken would make a good Batman and I suspect Alex is just dying to be Robin
Has somebody been to the movies lately ??? :D

I'm going to my endocrinologist (expecting a good tongue lashing, finger- wagging). I am not looking forward to this.

HHHhhhmmmm.... sounds like somebody has been non-compliant !! Good luck Sis ! :D

Angus Steer Escapes Slaughterhouse, On Loose in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI — Searchers on the ground and in a sheriff's department helicopter Monday were looking for an Angus steer that postponed its date with a slaughterhouse by bolting out a gate that had been inadvertently left open.

The more than 1,000-pound animal escaped from a slaughterhouse holding pen Monday morning and ran into the woods of suburban Cincinnati, according to Colerain Township police and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.

The steer was last seen heading into woods several blocks north of Stehlin's Meat Market and Interstate 275, said Dick Stehlin, co-owner of the meatpacking business. He said the bovine should be approached with caution.

"It's not, say, a mean animal or anything like that, it's just sort of in a panic stage," Stehlin said. "It's just out running, not even knowing where it's heading."

It's not the first time a steer has been on the loose in the Cincinnati area. In September 2006, a steer named Little Red ran from a fair and eluded capture for three days.

Wow! I can't believe this story has gone 'national'... this is just a hop, skip and jump from me... it's the TOP story in these parts! Who has the lasso?


If you knew you were going to get slaughtered wouldn't you run too?

This ain't the first one.. or the second...There was another one.. can't remember the year.. but it eluded capture for 11 days..



Since he's on the loose, is he a bum steer?


Yep! And I'm telling you - the 'steak' out to find him is HUGE!!!!:D



Anyone ever feel Eeyore-ish? I felt that way last night, but I've improved somewhat today.

I go thru loooonnnnggggg periods of feeling Eeyore-ish... glad you have improved! Would some cookies help?

Did I miss the memo? Is this national let your cows escape day?

Just as I was reading this post there was a news story on the local radio about a local man who was injured when the car he was driving struck a cow that had escaped from a field. Granted we live in a rural area with a lot of small cattle operations but what are the odds that something like that would be on the news just as I was reading this post?

[Jasper]

I think we need to consider who is going to be controlling the Joker Pogo. I think Ken would make a good Batman and I suspect Alex is just dying to be Robin :funny::fresh:

But the real burning question is who is going to be Bat Girl? Oh, wait, that is not politically correct anymore so the new version of that question is: who is going to be the female representation of the bat crime fighting character?:D:D

[Jasper]

Ah, so continuing our theme you would have to play the villainous Penguin alongside Pogo's Joker?

OOOOHHHH! Could I really? And you know what? My wife even has the costume at her store for that role! I could either be the tuxedo version or I could dress up as a real penguin!!

[dlpmikki]

OOOOHHHH! Could I really? And you know what? My wife even has the costume at her store for that role! I could either be the tuxedo version or I could dress up as a real penguin!!

:hi: Hi all - just a quick zoop to let you know I haven't fallen off the end of the world or been swept off to parts unknown by Capt Jack (:cloud9:) ... just been terribly busy and trying to keep up with things around here. Unfort., that means keeping my computer off so I don't sink into the "Intercot time warp"!!! :blush: Our weekend was crazy busy and I'm working 4 nights this week... mostly on the "anti-computer" floor, so I can't even zoop in from there and hang out!! :(

Anybody want to give me the "Reader's Digest" version of what's been going on?? Did I miss anything?? (Besides you guys, and yes I did miss you all .... even Alex.... :D)

I hope you're all doing great and having a good week so far -- I'll try to zoop in again later!!

[drummerboy]

Well, best I can tell, Alex tried to dress everybody in spandex, and that scared everybody so much that Mikki tried to divert us from Castaway Cay to the Batcave. (By the way, there is a town in NC called Bat Cave.) Jasper is up and about enough to put on a tuxedo and be the Penguin (or a new Bat-villain, "Orca"), and Pogo is the Joker. A couple of us are feeling eeyor-ish but lots of pixie dust has been shipped out via DDT (Drummerboy Discount Transportation) in hopes that spirits will pick up. Carol has given her new home over for Girl Scout Cookie storage freezers. Ummmm...I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of for now.

'K?

Good Evening everyone! How are you fine folks on his wonderful evening???

And in regards to your Linda comment... you know which smilie I would like to insert here but can't because of a promise I made to a certain friend of mine. Want me to do it for you ??? :D

Try working in a store where most of the employees have been at the store longer then you and all the customers think they are the boss and you're the nobody. I deal with that just about everyday, but then that's okay with me because I can get more work done and not be bothered. :D

You guys want to hear something very scary..I'm starting to sound like Pogo. A gentleman was in today with his 80 year old mother and I was asking her for her senior card, Her son said I want one of those, well, the mother told him he wasn't old even for one and I went into the Pogo thing about we shouldn't wish our lives away. Would Pogo be proud of me or did I just scare him?


Sure, a tux would give us all a little class wouldn't it?

Class? With Pogo and Alex do think that could be possible?

Did She Also Have A ChainSaw in Her Sweatshirt ???

SWEETWATER, Tenn. - A woman has been charged with possession of burglary tools after police said a crowbar slipped out of her pants as she was lurking around a church.

McMinn County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Shadrick pulled into the church parking lot early Saturday morning after he spotted a car parked near the building.

He found Jennifer Hunt, 35, walking from behind the building, where she said she was going to bathroom. When she was walking to her car to get her ID, a crowbar dropped from her pants

The officer also found Hunt had a screwdriver and observed pry marks on church doors. Hunt was being held on $2,000 bond pending a Tuesday arraignment.

[drummerboy]

And what about the "JQ" Tour band to begin rehearsals for our world tour ??? :D
I thought there'd have been enough coverage in the world press for her to already know that.

Well, DW is leaving me tomorrow. 'Course she's threatened to come back. :D She's off on her own world tour (or least to Florida and back). Should I warn the people in Florida? She has been warned that any side trips to WDW could constitute ground for serious repercusions.

Hi, all! Thanks for the Reader's Digest version.

To say that I've been busy is an understatement (I'm working 12 hour days lately)... and this morning was an EXCEEDINGLY weird morning, even by my standards (started with a crazy dream that went on and on and morphed from being about going camping to being a house guest), oversleeping, getting Ben to school late, getting a ticket on the way home (to the tune of $200 ... OUCH!), going to the grocery store and believing that today Jan 29 was Feb 29 and Leap Year, so I decided that this was a once every four year occurrence and that I shouldn't be bent out of shape over it. Weird, right? Funny thing was that I didn't figure out that it wasn't Feb 29th until mid-morning. Ya think some part of me might have registered that we hadn't gone on vacation? :rotfl:

There are no better cymbals than Zildjan. I play a classic set. 1973 vintage, Rogers Power Nine. It has double 24" basses, four mounted tom/toms, two floor toms, dynasonic chrome snare and six Zildjan's and New Beat high hats.
This was my tour set and I can't part with them for nothing.

Do you suppose we are the only people here that know what we are talking about ???

I understood some of it. DH is a drummer, and I know his drums are Rogers, and his cymbals are Zildjan. I know he got a new high hat, but could not tell you what is was. How's that?

OK, but do you look good in spandex?

Just remember that E sharp = F flat and you will be fine....by the way, did I ask if you looked good in spandex?
Do you look good in spandex? :D
Maybe Alex is checking out the competition, and trying to decide which spandex goes with which tube top...:D


I haven't been to CA for years -- and Brian and the boys have never been to DL -- so I want to go there -- It's actually the flights that will kill us! Thank goodness for Air Miles! Since we're going out -- we'll spend a couple of weeks -- some time in Monterey, San Francisco, Sacramento and pop over to Portland to see some family.

Portland, as in Oregon??? When? Would you have time to meet??

As long as I wear something over it.;)
Right there with you on that one! :D

Hhhmmmm.... April 20th will be our 6th. Did you know we are just newlyweds ???

April 5th is our 22nd! April is a very popular month for JQ weddings!

Ours is not until July - but it will be our 22nd as well! (course I was just a wee youngster when I got married!:blush:)

Is the spandex conversation over now?
God I hope so....

:hi: Hi all - just a quick zoop to let you know I haven't fallen off the end of the world or been swept off to parts unknown by Capt Jack.
:hi: Hi Blythe! So whatever happened to the house you were going to look at this weekend?

this morning was an EXCEEDINGLY weird morning, even by my standards (started with a crazy dream that went on and on and morphed from being about going camping to being a house guest), oversleeping, getting Ben to school late, getting a ticket on the way home (to the tune of $200 ... OUCH!), going to the grocery store and believing that today Jan 29 was Feb 29 and Leap Year, so I decided that this was a once every four year occurrence and that I shouldn't be bent out of shape over it.
What did you have for dinner last night? :confused:

Still snowing here. The kids may get a snow day tomorrow....

[pogo]

I understood some of it. DH is a drummer, and I know his drums are Rogers, and his cymbals are Zildjan. I know he got a new high hat, but could not tell you what is was. How's that?

You are amazing ! Where's your DH ?? Ask him if your right ! :D


I hate to leave,but Im getting tired and I've got a huge day tomorrow.

See you all in the morning... nitey, nite....:sleepin:

[Tink&Goofy]

You are amazing ! Where's your DH ?? Ask him if your right ! :D

Why would I need to ask him? He knows I'm right. :D

[Beast_fanatic]

I feel that way right now. Something is going on in my personal life that has me very depressed. I've talked about it with people, and its not really helping any.

I don't feel like talking about it anymore. Can I just have a bunch of Pixie Dust? I don't know if it will help, but I know it can't hurt.

Sorry to hear about your Eeyore-ish feelings. Lots of :pixie: headed your way!


How do you celebrate your anniversary ???

Well, we frequently don't have much money at the time, so most years we just go out for a steak dinner.


I go thru loooonnnnggggg periods of feeling Eeyore-ish... glad you have improved! Would some cookies help?

Truly, I don't think cookies would have helped. I'm blaming it on the Hallmark movie and all the Hallmark commercials that I watched Sunday night!


Let's see....who else do I have programmed in my phone? Blythe, Deb, Ellen, Jenn, Rhonda.....

Did I miss your call? ;)


Do you want to know the truth? I have a phone package that not only lets me call landlines in the UK for free but also lets me call landlines and cellphones in the US for free! $10 a month for unlimited calls! So who you gonna call?

Now that's a good plan! :thumbsup:


But the real burning question is who is going to be Bat Girl? Oh, wait, that is not politically correct anymore so the new version of that question is: who is going to be the female representation of the bat crime fighting character?

Who knew that bats had a lot of crime?


Short zoop to say HI and:pixie: :hug: for all

So, what did the endocrinologist have to say?


Who is serving the Root Floats tonight ???

I saw bottled root beer floats the other day! I think they're by A&W - they contain something like "ice cream flavor". :sick:


Ours is not until July - but it will be our 22nd as well! (course I was just a wee youngster when I got married!:blush:)

I was just a youngster as well. :blush:

[DisneyDudet]

To say that I've been busy is an understatement (I'm working 12 hour days lately)... and this morning was an EXCEEDINGLY weird morning, even by my standards (started with a crazy dream that went on and on and morphed from being about going camping to being a house guest), oversleeping, getting Ben to school late, getting a ticket on the way home (to the tune of $200 ... OUCH!), going to the grocery store and believing that today Jan 29 was Feb 29 and Leap Year, so I decided that this was a once every four year occurrence and that I shouldn't be bent out of shape over it. Weird, right? Funny thing was that I didn't figure out that it wasn't Feb 29th until mid-morning. Ya think some part of me might have registered that we hadn't gone on vacation?

Ellen, I've done some WEIRD things, from thinking that the ENTIRE day was a completely different day. Luckily, I never went to work on my day off! But yeah, a whole month off? Thats pretty good. I DID have to look at my calendar and make sure I was with you. Next time I'll send you a message reminding you of LEAP YEAR DAY! How's that sound?

Tonight is my long night. I am apparently the only one up on these boards. Maybe I'll see some of you in the morning, as I work tonight (wednesday).

Hope everyone is sleeping well!

[disneydeb]

So, what did the endocrinologist have to say?




"Try to do better, Come back in March to feed my money pot."

"DId you get any excersize?" :confused:

Everyone Have great day! I'm off to make a difference in a life, I love my job. It has so many opportunities!:thumbsup:

[pogo]

Good morning all........ boy is it windy.:fan: Last night when we went to bed our house was in Rochester..... now I think we are in Syracuse. All the flags are doing this. :flag2:
We have 30 mph sustained winds with gusts at around 50 mph :jaw:and it's supposed to get stronger. Hang on tight ! Maybe we'll see you later....:shrug:..... maybe not.


Why would I need to ask him? He knows I'm right. :DAllrighty then........ don't ask.

Why do you think you're always right ?? :D


Well, we frequently don't have much money at the time, so most years we just go out for a steak dinner.

That's just what we do on the years we don't go to WDW. Maybe this year ??????? :( I'm still trying .

Tonight is my long night. I am apparently the only one up on these boards. Maybe I'll see some of you in the morning, as I work tonight (wednesday).

Hope everyone is sleeping well!
I hope you had a good night at work.

[alpro2]

You guys want to hear something very scary..I'm starting to sound like Pogo. A gentleman was in today with his 80 year old mother and I was asking her for her senior card, Her son said I want one of those, well, the mother told him he wasn't old even for one and I went into the Pogo thing about we shouldn't wish our lives away. Would Pogo be proud of me or did I just scare him?



You always scare me....... but tonight, I'm proud of you ! Now I have to ask..... did you mean it ???

Yeah right.....Carol was like, "ok lady, do you want the patchwork blanket or not!" :D

Yep, I meant it. :D I really had a great day. The 80 year old mother was on oxigen and to hear her get after her son was so precious. When I was saying about not wishing your life away, I started with a good friend of mine...

Days like today, I wish I could have them everyday. If you think I scare you, you need to talk to my delivery guy. I can be a sweetie, can't I?
I think the alien that abducted Deb also took the real Carol.


You can have them every day. It's in your power to have a good day or a bad day..... you just have to believe. :D
Oh my goodness. It's Pogo! I think Pogo is the alien. What have you done with my friends, Pogo? I knew I couldn't trust those smiley faces that he uses on his posts. :D



Maybe Alex is checking out the competition, and trying to decide which spandex goes with which tube top...

Do we want the black or the sparkly gold spandex? :D

[disneydrmr]

Happy Wednesday! (it is Wed. right? I'm not so sure after reading Ellen's post.. now she has me confused as to what day it really is! :D)



Anybody want to give me the "Reader's Digest" version of what's been going on?? Did I miss anything?? (Besides you guys, and yes I did miss you all .... even Alex....


Hiya! You've been missed!


Well, best I can tell, Alex tried to dress everybody in spandex, and that scared everybody so much that Mikki tried to divert us from Castaway Cay to the Batcave. (By the way, there is a town in NC called Bat Cave.) Jasper is up and about enough to put on a tuxedo and be the Penguin (or a new Bat-villain, "Orca"), and Pogo is the Joker. A couple of us are feeling eeyor-ish but lots of pixie dust has been shipped out via DDT (Drummerboy Discount Transportation) in hopes that spirits will pick up. Carol has given her new home over for Girl Scout Cookie storage freezers. Ummmm...I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of for now.

'K?

That's a pretty good summary! Maybe you should do this every morning to catch everyone up on what happened the day before?


Want me to do it for you ???
Yeah Alex..... so there ! :fresh:


Thanks Pogo! You sure are a GREAT friend!!!



You guys want to hear something very scary..I'm starting to sound like Pogo.

Congrats Carol! I believe we should all sound like Pogo! We all need to cherish every day we are given... live our lives to the fullest! Be grateful for each and every new day! Love with all our hearts! Experience life with open arms! (oh my... that might not scare Pogo... but it sure scared me! :D)


Did She Also Have A ChainSaw in Her Sweatshirt ???

SWEETWATER, Tenn. - A woman has been charged with possession of burglary tools after police said a crowbar slipped out of her pants as she was lurking around a church.

McMinn County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Shadrick pulled into the church parking lot early Saturday morning after he spotted a car parked near the building.

He found Jennifer Hunt, 35, walking from behind the building, where she said she was going to bathroom. When she was walking to her car to get her ID, a crowbar dropped from her pants

The officer also found Hunt had a screwdriver and observed pry marks on church doors. Hunt was being held on $2,000 bond pending a Tuesday arraignment.

Oh my! maybe she should have wet that crowbar down and stuck it to her skin...

OH! The Free Cow you posted the article on yesterday.. well.. sad ending to the story. They located the poor fellow... An SPCA officer attempted to shoot it with a tranquilizer.. that failed.. the cow began charging at cars so an officer opened fire on it and killed it.



Well, DW is leaving me tomorrow. 'Course she's threatened to come back. She's off on her own world tour (or least to Florida and back). Should I warn the people in Florida? She has been warned that any side trips to WDW could constitute ground for serious repercusions.

Do you need us to send you some frozen meals to get you by until she returns? I've heard that Drummerboy's Discount Frozen Food Delivery Service has a special on "Roadkill Supreme" this week. :D If you buy 7 meals you get a gallon of "Mint Chocolate Possum Ice Cream".


Short zoop to say HI and:pixie: :hug: for all

Isn't short zoop a position in baseball?

Hi Deb! Thanks for the giggle!


Where does Frankie find those news stories?


Are you telling me that you hadn't heard about the loose cow? You live in Ohio, Frankie doesn't and he heard about it.. wow!



To say that I've been busy is an understatement (I'm working 12 hour days lately)... and this morning was an EXCEEDINGLY weird morning, even by my standards (started with a crazy dream that went on and on and morphed from being about going camping to being a house guest), oversleeping, getting Ben to school late, getting a ticket on the way home (to the tune of $200 ...

Weird, right? Funny thing was that I didn't figure out that it wasn't Feb 29th until mid-morning. Ya think some part of me might have registered that we hadn't gone on vacation?


Um, I think this whole scenario tells me that you are BEYOND the need for a vacation! I think you need to leave on your trip immediately! :D



Finally have time to check in. Weekend was kind of a downer, and work has been busy and stressful since. Our March trip is still in jeopardy - but I am going forward as if all is well. I guess worse case scenario, I could join them all a day or two late I would probably be exhausted and sleep during the entire vacation!

Its snowing at my house...is it snowing at yours?

Hi! Glad you are able to drop in for a visit! Hope things work out for you in March. No snow here (yet).. lots of heavy rain overnight.. and VERY strong winds...



Glad you are convinced....tell it to the judge (no, really) Lets see, March 11...10 business days...I think that takes me beyond the March 23 pending departure date.
Keep the faith? How 'bout pray for a continuance?

Hmmmm... do they know you have a trip that was planned before all this occurred? I mean, there's cost to changing airline tickets and such... so maybe they would give a continuance if they knew the situation? Again.. I hope this works out for you!


"Try to do better, Come back in March to feed my money pot."

"DId you get any excersize?"
Everyone Have great day! I'm off to make a difference in a life, I love my job. It has so many opportunities

Do we go to the same doctor?

Ok.. add one more person to the list of those of us sounding like Pogo!


Good morning all........ boy is it windy. Last night when we went to bed our house was in Rochester..... now I think we are in Syracuse. All the flags are doing this. We have 30 mph sustained winds with gusts at around 50 mph and it's supposed to get stronger. Hang on tight ! Maybe we'll see you later......... maybe not.


We are having high/strong winds also. Our gusts were reaching 70 miles per hour :jaw: It blew over a large BP highway sign.. many trees/power lines are down.. lots of power outages... just downright NASTY out there. I'm worried about DH today since he drives a big rig... I think I just saw Toto and Dorothy fly by the window...

[disneydrmr]

Do we want the black or the sparkly gold spandex? :D

Depends - are you wearing the hot pink tube top or the lime green one? :D

[Caroleh]

Yeah right.....Carol was like, "ok lady, do you want the patchwork blanket or not!" :D

I think the alien that abducted Deb also took the real Carol.

Do we want the black or the sparkly gold spandex? :D

Oh, I'm still here, Alex!! It was also yesterday that I had my delivery guy grovelling at my feet. He had totally upset me and wasn't doing his deliver.es like he was suppose to, so I called his head office and he was doing exactly what I wanted and was apologizing. This morning Gilles was complaining about something he couldn't find and was telling me to call so and so to get the stuff and I found them, where HE misplaced them, now he's grovelling. He
said he should know better then messing with my alter ego, "Amazon". My assistant is calling me Attila the Hun. :D Do you want to get on my bad side? :D

Instead of the spandex, I received at the store gold, silver, and bronze leatherette. Do you think you could use that Alex? I can send you 14 metres of each one!!:D

[disneydrmr]

I don't wanna get on your bad side... but I would like to borrow your bad side.. would you like to come to my office and have a 'talk' with our receptionist?

And on that leatherette for Alex... do you really think 14 metres will be enough? Remember.. you have to account for his rather large ego... :D you may need to double the amount..

[drummerboy]

1. Do you need us to send you some frozen meals to get you by until she returns? I've heard that Drummerboy's Discount Frozen Food Delivery Service has a special on "Roadkill Supreme" this week. :D If you buy 7 meals you get a gallon of "Mint Chocolate Possum Ice Cream".

1. You've brought a tear to my eye with your generous offer.

2. Pshaw. Around here in hurricane central, that's just a stiff breeze.

How's hump day going for everybody?

[Caroleh]

My bad side actually scares me, and I don't like it, but I also know running a business it has to come out to get things done that need to be done and done right. Most of the time, I love to joke around and have fun. I think you need to have fun at work and laugh, it makes the day so much more fun.

That was 14 metres(a little more then 15 yards) of each colour..I think that might be just enough for his ego, don't you? Do you think I should order more?

[disneydrmr]

1. You've brought a tear to my eye with your generous offer.

2. Pshaw. Around here in hurricane central, that's just a stiff breeze.

You are welcome for my generous offer.. look for the packages to be arriving soon! Since you are such a good moderator I even sprung for the delux package - you know - the one that includes a variety of drinks... from "Liver Juice" and "Possum Pee Pop" to "Pure Everglades Swamp Water".. yep! You deserve it! :D



That was 14 metres(a little more then 15 yards) of each colour..I think that might be just enough for his ego, don't you? Do you think I should order more?

Well.... since he is so proud of his legs I'm sure he won't want to cover those.. so taking the fabric that would be needed to make pants.. yep... maybe you do have enough for him and his ego! :D

Did any of you see my question? I think it blew north...

[Caroleh]

I still have Bear Breath Soap, do you think Ken could use that? :D If not, maybe Pogo could lend Ken the Beaver Butt Soap!!

Is that what I just saw blow past my window? I think it's heading further North, Di!!

[alpro2]

Is that like pleather?

[Caroleh]

Is that like pleather?

yep!! It's suppose to be the newest, hottest thing for home decor, but my house will never see it!!!:D I won't say what a customer said about it. :secret: Do you want it? These are the things that get sent to me because someone higher up thinks we need it!!

Same here pogo, it's blowing like crazy. I think that we blew across the bay last night. Plus it's super duper freezing today. Anyone have some hot chocolate?


Happy Wednesday! (it is Wed. right? I'm not so sure after reading Ellen's post.. now she has me confused as to what day it really is! :D)



Yes, it's still Wednesday then the big day tomorrow. Anyone want to venture to guess?

Have a good day everyone!

[ElenitaB]

Is everyone having a WONDERFUL Wednesday? (Yes, it's Wednesday... I think!) At least it's not a wacky or weird Wednesday... well, not in my neck of the woods anyway.

Around an hour ago the wind was blowing really hard. I got a bit worried that we would have another tornado blow through here like last summer.

Mary, if you find the hot cocoa, please send some my way! If you'd like a chai latte, let me know! I made some this AM and it was :tasty:

Mary, are you talking about Lost coming back?

[MauiMouse]

Mary, if you find the hot cocoa, please send some my way! If you'd like a chai latte, let me know! I made some this AM and it was :tasty:

Ooh, that sound yummy, yes please I'd love to try some. :coffee:


Well, yes and no about Lost, almost forget about that one. But how can anyone really forget since it's been on tv so much lately. I get so darn Lost watching. :silly: Anyone else have their DVR set? Nope, it's the big day that happens once a year. :cake: Going out with my friends, hopefully she will call soon.

[pogo]

Congrats Carol! I believe we should all sound like Pogo! We all need to cherish every day we are given... live our lives to the fullest! Be grateful for each and every new day! Love with all our hearts! Experience life with open arms! (oh my... that might not scare Pogo... but it sure scared me!)

Hi guys... just a quick zoop...


:hi: Hi Blythe! So whatever happened to the house you were going to look at this weekend?

We couldn't see it b/c the wife was OOT and the dad was home with the kids alone all weekend... not a recipe for a clean, showable house, I guess!! ;) So, we're going to see it this upcoming Saturday afternoon... cross your fingers!! :)


Why would I need to ask him? He knows I'm right. :D
That's my kind-of answer... :D


Good morning all........ boy is it windy. Last night when we went to bed our house was in Rochester..... now I think we are in Syracuse.
I wish!!


Do we want the black or the sparkly gold spandex?
Sparkly gold, definitely... goes well with your coloring. :D


Should we start calling you AttilaEh ???

[dlpmikki]

Will youse guys please keep your wind to yourselves? I am going to a posh do in London tomorrow and the last thing I want to hear on the weather forecast is gales and driving rain arriving from the US! At least I am planning on velvet trousers rather than a posh frock but even so! Just in case anyone is contemplating asking - I am going to a Liverymen only dinner for the Worshipful Company of World Traders (http://www.world-traders.org/) :D In this instance Liverymen is non specific as both Andrew and I are ones.

Sounds pretty neat, Mikki... we'll try to keep it down over here!!

Okay, so I don't repeat the infraction... what's everyone up to tonight?? I'm about to go crash and watch a little TV, as I have the house to myself for the first time in ages. Of course, I'll probably jump up at commercials and try to get a few things done, but still.... :blush:

Have a nice time, Frankie? Are you staying on property? I've been to business meetings on property with no time to go frolic. How long will you be there?

Pogo, did you drag your bed back home?

[pjbs35a]

Have a nice time, Frankie? Are you staying on property? I've been to business meetings on property with no time to go frolic. How long will you be there?

Staying in the Downtown Disney area. Arriving tomorrow, returning mid-day Satruday. What's a body to do ???

[pogo]

Pogo, did you drag your bed back home?
I was quite surprised to find it just where I left it. :yes:

How did today go for you ?? :confused:

Well, we frequently don't have much money at the time, so most years we just go out for a steak dinner.

Thats kind of our norm too. Except for the big 20th - when we spent it on opposite sides of the country since I was on Long Island. :(

Do we want the black or the sparkly gold spandex? :D
Thats a tough choice - you know black does make you look thinner, and goes with everything, but gold brings out your sparkling personality! :D


Hmmmm... do they know you have a trip that was planned before all this occurred? I mean, there's cost to changing airline tickets and such... so maybe they would give a continuance if they knew the situation?
Somehow I think the judge could really give a rip what my vacation plans are....:(


Should we start calling you AttilaEh ??? :D

:funny:

So Pogo - when will you know if April is going to work out for you and Patti?

Somehow I think the judge could really give a rip what my vacation plans are....:(
Probably true, especially if it's federal court. At least our courts have recognized the importance of down time for attorneys to have intituted a 'secured leave' program for us to be able to more or less guarantee that court won't interfere with vacation. Think positively--the other parties may want to buy some time and ask for continuances.

Can you believe it? this night owl is just about ready to hit the hay. Good night all.
