well I'd think we'd need hot pink for sure don't you think? And maybe brown. (you know the colour of coffee)

Pink and brown, the colors of tube tops and chocolate chips and coffee! Go Possums!
I second (or third :confused:) that motion.

I think I like the hot pink and brown for our colors, that way Alex should feel right at home. I think our possum should be a little unique and have a duck's face that says Pogo instead of AFLAC...:D
Personally, I think our possum should say "cookies".

The orange blossems are really really starting to smell around here, and have my sinuses going crazy.
Stink good or stink bad?

Our fight song should be "C is for Cookie and Cookie is for me" by Cookie Monster.

Anyone like Indo-Chinese food? I have a hankering for some shrimp pakora ... and no, I'm not expecting a baby. :nono:
Good choice for song! Okay... I'll bite (pun intended?), what's Indo-Chinese food? Malaysian??

Do you think I should get ready for work? I needed a question.
You don't have to, unless you want to sing Ken's song at work ("we go the teeth, we got the stink"). Hey, you can even put the jinx on your favorite co-worker! ;)

Okay... off to work for me! Later! (Does anyone have some coffee?)

But Pogo they give you free cookies. You can't eat 48 dollars worth of cookies?

And at the risk of being totally clueless who is Shari?)
Nope.... I don't eat cookies.... remember ?

Shari is also known as Murphy1 and she has been tormenting Jym about the possum incident ever sence my dining review came out. :D

That is what happens to you when you can't sleep for several days, the Sunday night was the worse. I have a feeling I'm not going to get much sleep until I get this house put together. Can someone send the sandman over to visit me?

Sure.... how many truck loads will it take ?

Everything is great, thanks for asking Carol. Hooray for me. Officially went back to work yesterday. Is it Friday yet?

:shake:

Your as bad as Diane ! :D

:nono: Dear, Alex, remember we don't wish our time away because life is too short. Did I do good, Pogo?

:thumbsup:

Are you sure ? :confused:

:yes:

We got the cookies,

Our sharp-tooth grin
Will give you the creeps.
Goooooo Possums.

(Or would the plural be possi?)

What's the first bid to make me stop? :thedolls:

Pogo, what weekend would that be? Brookgreen will really be nice this time of year. I've got some pictures of DW and me sitting on a wall at Brookgreen and my hair was all black then. That was a loooong time ago.

Alex, straighten up or we'll send Pogo out to lecture you. :nono: Actually, you should be straighter now anyway. DW's back surgery sure straightened her.

Hey all...how's Monday night behaving?

There's a discount? Besides the advance purchase thing? Wow I really need to spend more time on the actual web site don't I?

Blythe do you have a house closing countdown yet? And if you want to PM me your email address I can hook you up with alerts on housing starts and any other aspects of the housing industry you'd like (free no worries I have a large monthly supcription list to that stuff I maintain for all kinds of clients, coi's etc..more the merrier!)
Monday night ended up treating me just fine -- I didn't have to go in to work!! :thumbsup: The extra $$ would've been nice, but sitting here today with a day to myself is twice as nice, I think! :cloud9:

Our closing is slated for May 1st.... haven't heard anything to the contrary (yet). I'll PM you with that e-mail -- I did Google the info yesterday and found conflicting information (what a shocker) and it's hard to correlate it with our area, as we seem to be in our own little real estate market. Our home prices have actually gone up over the past few years, not much of a market correction as our market has been low for awhile. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out this year....

As far as extra discounts for the party tickets, there aren't any except the advance sale or AP/DVC rates... you didn't miss anything! :)

Blythe, that's exactly why I'm so reticent about getting VOIP. I hate when my internet goes down but I'd be really annoyed if it were internet AND the phone too.

It was doubly frustrating, b/c (long story - but my cell phone was stolen last week) so I was w/o any phone at all!! So, here I was with no contact with the outside world whatsoever, unsure if there was another mix-up with our account I had to deal with, or if there was a line problem. So - the girls and I made an unplanned visit to Verizon at the mall and I got myself a new cell phone (hadn't been planning on it quite yet) just so I could figure out what was going on, and have some form of way to be contacted!! That's how I found out there was an outage here -- and I could see them working on the lines on our way home. Funny thing - whatever was going wrong must have been "in progress" for awhile, because ever since we've been up and running again, our RoadRunner is working a lot faster! In the end, it worked out well - just a pain when it first happened!!

So how does one get started scrapbooking? Is there a book or something?
There's a ton of info out there - you can check out a bunch of ideas online. If you'd like, check out my website, too - PM me if you'd like it. (Don't want to post it just in case it's not allowed) You don't have to buy anything - it'd just give you ideas and you'd have info about what's "out there" from a more formal company. (We have traditional scrapbooking, modified scrapbooking albums for folks who don't want to do as much intricate page work and digital - there's all kinds of ways to do it.) Check out your local crafts stores for info, too! (And yes, there are tons of books out there on it, too, and magazines... you name it!) You can do it to whatever level you'd like, and no, you don't have to be crafty - some of the friends I scrap with claimed to be totally "un-crafty" when they started, and they're doing great and having a blast!! It just takes knowing what your limits are, and having the right tools to make it easy (and enjoyable!)

Our colors will be silver and black.

The front will have 2"x 1" letters "JQU" with your "JQ" nickname underneath.

The back will have "Home of the fighting Possums" in an arc with a picture of a growling possum underneath. I'll talk to Shari about this.
Sounds fun!! I think we should have more colors, though.... or maybe different colors for girls & guys??

Tentative plans for the Drummerboy crowd would be arrival on the 8th or 9th, and departure on the 16th.

We may have the middle two grandchildren with us, so we can't make too elaborate plans. Maybe we can have a few informal gatherings on different days to get as many people together as we can? Ghirardelli's would be nice.

It'd be so great if you guys came!! We're all for Ghirardelli's... had a JQ meet there in October, and it was quite fun. All the "tourists" who came by had quite the time watching.... :blush:

The orange blossems are really really starting to smell around here, and have my sinuses going crazy.
Sigh.... I'm sorry your sinuses aren't enjoying them, but I'd love to be able to smell them myself....

So far as I can figure our primary days to get together are Friday 12/12 and Saturday 12/13, right ?

Sounds about right!

Lucky you, to get to see D'boy and his DW....

We've never gotten anything from Ghiralldi's if you can believe that so we would likely be in to that.
:faint: The number one thing on Dan's list when we went in October was their brownie sundae thing... and boy oh boy was it good.... not thinking it'd take much arm-twisting for a return trip!!

Is it Friday yet?
Ummm... nope.... bet everyday felt like Friday for you, didn't it?? Sorry... but it's only Tuesday.... how's your back??

A couple of opinions:
JQU should be hot pink and silver.
Our fight song should be "C is for Cookie and Cookie is for me" by Cookie Monster.

Like the color!! Perfect song, too... there have been some cookie fights around here for sure!

We got the cookies,
We got the sleeps,
Our sharp-tooth grin
Will give you the creeps.
Goooooo Possums.

:rotfl:

So - how's Tuesday so far? I have to stop playing and go get some real work done.... anybody seen my motivation? I think I had it when I got up....

Good afternoon kids!

So far as I can figure our primary days to get together are Friday 12/12 and Saturday 12/13, right ?

Sounds perfect to me. I think it'd be fun to do dinner with as many of us as possible. What's the largest group amount that can be made for an ADR? I think we should try for it!

Anyone like Indo-Chinese food? I have a hankering for some shrimp pakora ... and no, I'm not expecting a baby. :nono:

I'm not familiar:confused:...can you elaborate on the cuisine?

So - how's Tuesday so far?

Not bad - I've gotten my "work" accomplished although my fiance and I decided last night where we are having our wedding (here in FL instead of somewhere else) Now my mind is just RACING!!!!! :crazy:

Actually -- I should probably call it Hakka Chinese food (my Indian and Pakistani friends would) .... but to me it is a cross between indian and chinese food. Chow meins and egg rolls and rice and stuff -- but some really tasty spicy meat dishes -- Like crispy ginger beef or the previously mentionned Shrimp Pakora (which is kind of like a Shrimp dumpling with spices and herbs and stuff). Why doesn't everyone come up to TO and we can go out for some? I'll put you up as long as you don't mind sleeping on a doggie bed .... :D .

When are you getting married Emily? Congratulations!!

How about a competition to find the best place for Figaro to have his picture taken? Beanie Figaro could be passed around the group :D

WOW! You've been a chatty bunch since I last checked in...too many posts to quote.

I like "Fightin' Possums" - one thing, though....does our mascot uniform need to have tire tracks down it's back?
And does it get to play dead during the half-time show?

Jym, I agree, NO ROCKY TOP! I like Ken's cheer, possibly it could be put to music. Are there any JQer's good at writing music scores?:whistle:

Pogo - you and your DW have chosen the perfect time to go to Brookgreen - the gardens should be in full bloom. I went last fall and really enjoyed it.:pick:

Carol - you know I have to ask, how's Mittens? :cat:

Nat - How are you? Is your household back to good health?

Mikki - Sorry to hear about your FiL. My prayers are with you and your DH.

Emily - Congrats! When's the date?

Whew - to everyone else, hello, and how are ya'll doing this fine afternoon?:grouphug:

Speaking of time flying.... I realized when I read Ken's post that although I'm not to my I'cot anniversary date, it's been 1 year since I joined JQ!!! :party2: :party2: It was just prior to Easter last year that I found you guys -- I remember all the Easter Bunny jokes, and trying to figure you all out and what all the questions were about... who Frankie was and why you guys kept flying off to different places and losing your luggage.... and the cookies!! Goodness, I almost forgot to bring cookies, but quickly remedied it.... and then Alex ate them all.... ;) Ahhhh.... such fond memories!! :D

Needless to say -- I'm so glad I found you guys -- I just love this thread and my extended family on it!! :cloud9:

Just checking in to see what is going on. My 11 year old son and I spent most of today doing 30 loads of laundry for my wife's costume store. What I don't understand is that I wasn't the one who rented all these costumes out to the customers so why am I the one who has to do all the laundry? Shouldn't my wife be doing it?

I think I slept through a lot of the Husbandry 101 classes. At least my wife tells me I did. Is there someplace I can go for a refresher course? Or maybe Reader's Digest has the condensed version. You know condensed like my husbandry skills!

As for my join date, our version of the internet in 99 involved using a chisel to tap out a message on our rock keyboards and then we would have a local Indian who "downloaded" our message into smoke signals!

Do you think we can get John Y to provide an all expenses paid trip to WDW to each Intercot member when they reach the 10 year mark? For those of you who know him well this would be a great time to start working on this idea with him!

Does this mean we get to see if Ken's leg are as good looking as Alex's?

I like "Fightin' Possums" - one thing, though....does our mascot uniform need to have tire tracks down it's back?

Carol - you know I have to ask, how's Mittens? :cat:

I love the idea of the tire tracks down the back, but doesn't need to be the tire tracks of a red mustang?

Mittens is completely back to normal...maybe even better. I can put his water and food next to each other now!!! It's SO funny watching him go up and down the stairs. Some of them he takes one stair at a time and other ones he runs, but it's always the same stairs!!!

(Don't worry men, I am lulling the women into a false sense of security and then we will unleash the full might of our possum army!!!)

Jasper, do you think women will ever believe that? We know better. Gilles has learned to say "Wife is wise, wife is all knowing, wife is always right."

How about at WDW the weekend of Dec 12??? We have flower girls, ring bearers and the cost of catering will be low since you only have to worry about cookies.

Morning all! Looks like some of you were having an odd night as well. DH had to go in early today (like get up at 4am early) so I have some mostly cold coffee if anyone is interested?

Also our doggie was not impressed with this and so wanted to be near me so I've been up since like 4:30ish off and on and then DS got sick and we needed to clean his room up..yuck.

So Pogo I know we shouldn't wish our day away but are we allowed do-overs? And it's DH's birthday. Going to be a weird day I can just tell.

Hi, Jeanne!!! Are you coming back here to help us pick on Pogo and Alex?

I'm glad Mittens has adjusted...how are you doing? Is the unpacking coming along?

Thanks for asking, Page. I'm doing okay, still can't sleep because I can't handle these boxes all over the place. I was talking to my supervisor yesterday and we decided that the reason I can't handle things in boxes is because of the job. You see a box, it needs to be emptied and put away. I was hoping to get a little done before I go to work today, but I have someone coming in to hook up the dishwasher. I'm hoping he'll be here early and get out of here early!!

Does anyone want unfinished quilts and wallhangings? It's a way to unpack, right?

Where's Pogo this morning?

Where IS Di??? Pogo, did you hit her with one of those arrows?

I'm here, I'm here... I managed to lurk a bit yesterday, but wow! You guys are sure talkative.. I really need a Reader's Digest update... from what I gathered someone (Pogo maybe?) is gonna wear a Possum suit at Disney in December, Ken's become a cheerleader at a local college, Alex has rejoined the working class, Jym is planning to leave his newborn baby alone at home while he and his dw go to Disney in December, Carol's mittens are settling into her new home (though I would think all you have to do to mittens is put them in a drawer :D) Jasper has volunteered to do everyone's laundry and we are suppossed to be taking turns forgetting our questions to keep Rhonda on her toes? Did I get that all right?

I think she might be suffering from iwannagotowddwindecemberbutcantswingititist ! Know what I mean ?? Let's send her a :grouphug: and maybe she'll be better.

I'd be even more better if you sent me a loan so I could go to Disney in December :D...
Actually I was too busy over the weekend to pop in, I was off on Monday and didn't touch the computer. Then yesterday I was suffering from 'dicedmixedfruitrecalledduetosalmonellasoIhavetoca llallourcustomerstotellthemaboutititis'.. Whew! That's a mouthful!

It's been awhile since I've been in this particular thread - did y'all miss me?

Welcome! Are you here to volunteer to wear the possum suit?

Di, :hug: how's your neck doing? If it's still giving you problems, :pixie::pixie: to make it better!!

Thanks for the hug Carol. Neck's doing better. Been using a contoured pillow and that has seemed to help alot. It's now down to mostly a dull ache.

When are you getting married Emily? Congratulations!!

Congrats!! I didn't realize you were getting married -- where and when?? :cloud9:

Emily - Congrats! When's the date?

Thank you girls ;) We are aiming for June of 2009. There are SO many options down here, we're leaning towards St. Augustine. I've got so much to research, I'm excited. I've already got my dress though :funny: I hope you don't mind as you might be hearing details as they come about over the next year. A tidbit you might appreciate, Bob planned the whole engagement last Labor Day Weekend when I was in Disney World!!! Then when I was at the INTERCOT meet in October he planned the last minute details (it happened the weekend after). When I got home from the meet he said, I made reservations for The Ritz Carlton for dinner on Friday night. I was suspicious but still very surprised. I think the Disney magic definitely added to it!!!! :cloud9:

Anyone else feel like an old timer on this site sometimes?

:yes:

How about at WDW the weekend of Dec 12??? We have flower girls, ring bearers and the cost of catering will be low since you only have to worry about cookies.

Don't TEMPT me!!!!!!!!

:funny: The next line in our house is "Whatever you say, Dear." Ain't married life grand?

Is this what I have to look forward to? :blush:

Allllleeeeex, can I borrow your cheerleader outfit?
I knew you had it in you Ken! It was somewhere deep, but it was in there! :D

Poor Rhonda! Are all the old regulars taking it in turns to test her?

I don't want to brag, but I never get the :nono: from Rhonda (unless I do it on purpose). Ain't that right, Rhonda?

Speaking of time flying.... I realized when I read Ken's post that although I'm not to my I'cot anniversary date, it's been 1 year since I joined JQ!!! It was just prior to Easter last year that I found you guys -- I remember all the Easter Bunny jokes, and trying to figure you all out and what all the questions were about... who Frankie was and why you guys kept flying off to different places and losing your luggage.... and the cookies!! Goodness, I almost forgot to bring cookies, but quickly remedied it.... and then Alex ate them all.... Ahhhh.... such fond memories!!

Yeah, that's great Blythe. :shake: :D

Anyone else feel like an old timer on this site sometimes?
Speaking of which, I think Banker Babe and I joined the JQ thread around the same time. Then motormouth, I mean, Diane joined. :D

Page, we've got to coordinate better! I just made a nice pot of Earl Gray, but no scones! But that's a great idea for later. Maybe I'll make them over lunch and we can have a light afternoon tea. Who'd like to join us?

So Pogo I know we shouldn't wish our day away but are we allowed do-overs? And it's DH's birthday. Going to be a weird day I can just tell.
First of all,

Happy birthday, Matt! :party:

So William's home from school today. Will you let him near the 'puter? He and Ben can play VMK together.

Thanks! I thought I caught the jist of the recent conversations.. Pogo seems to think I was way off though... don't they say something though about old men and their memories?

Yeah.. every single recall we have to call everyone who has ordered the product. This time around though the product in question had an expiration date of 3/23 anyway.. so the customer had better have used it already. It was an issue of cantalope.. so if anyone out there has any cantalope that came from Chili.. well... you might wanna toss it.

I think you should skip work today and do something fun! Go see a movie! Go shopping! Go out to lunch!

It may not be a fun thing to talk about, but I just did something that I'm really happy about!!! I got my computer hutch into my scrapbooking studio that the movers couldn't get in. There were three men that couldn't get it in and one Carol that got it in all by herself!!! Of course I took off the top, but I got it in with no help!!! This computer hutch thing was really bothering me. Now I know I can get the studio put back together and it shouldn't take me long to now get the house together.

I was talking to my supervisor yesterday and we decided that the reason I can't handle things in boxes is because of the job. You see a box, it needs to be emptied and put away.

Does anyone want unfinished quilts and wallhangings? It's a way to unpack, right?

Carol, just think to yourself "One box at a time, one box at a time." Don't look at all of them or they will overwhelm you. And set an empty box aside for Mittens to play in. Does he like to play in empty boxes?

Is this what I have to look forward to? :blush:

DH and I are heading toward our 25th anniversary....we been using the "Yes, Dear - Whatever you say..." almost the entire time. And, in our house, the words go both ways - sometimes I say "Yes, Dear," sometimes he does. We're best friends - can't get much better than that, can you?

Page, we've got to coordinate better! I just made a nice pot of Earl Gray, but no scones! But that's a great idea for later. Maybe I'll make them over lunch and we can have a light afternoon tea. Who'd like to join us?

Let me know what I may bring to afternoon tea. I do have some nice almond biscuits. Do you think they would go well with Earl Grey?

Wait a minute, silly. I'm married and so is Ken, isn't he ??? How could we marry Emily ?? :D

I could perform the ceremony if Emily wants to get married in SC. I'm a notary and notaries in SC are allowed to sign the marriage license.
Hey, Emily, would you like to get married in SC?

I'll take some jelly beans! Heck, I'll take just about any food.

Do you think the Disney obsession is genetic, by any chance? Nature or nurture??

Genetic, maybe - wouldn't know, as I'm adopted. But definitely not just nurture - I grew up in a an "anti-Disney" atmosphere, and look at me now!! Still makes my mom shake her head and wonder what the heck happened... :D Lucky for my girls, they've got it both going for them... they never stood a chance!! :cloud9:

I woke up and came down to see how my peeps were doing.
Sorry I wasn't around to say hi -- I believe I was in the recovery room with patients about that time. :( As far as your peeps -- are they stale yet?? Ours are, except the ones my mom sent in a Cool Whip container.... ;)

Now if only tea would make itself. Anyone else for some white tea?

anyone up for strawberries and cream?
Yes!! It'd go perfect with my coffee....

So- how's everyone's night? I'm having serious "iwannagotodisneyworldrightnowitis".... it'll pass, but boy oh boy does listening to some good 'ole Disney music put you in the mood to be there RIGHT NOW!!! I guess I'll have to ban it from the car for awhile.... I know once the nice weather gets here and we get busy, it'll go away for awhile.... boy, it better warm up soon!! :blush:

So - got here and had a baby.... a little girl one, to be exact, named Eliza. How cute is that???

Carol, just think to yourself "One box at a time, one box at a time." Don't look at all of them or they will overwhelm you. And set an empty box aside for Mittens to play in. Does he like to play in empty boxes?

He loves boxes, but he's actually been leaving them alone. Do you think it's because right now he's associating the box with the move? He also loves bags. Since a lot of places up here are going green and doing away with plastic bags, they sell reusable bags. I have 2 of them from work, which he loves to crawl into.

I think today when I got the computer hutch into the scrapbooking studio it took a lot of the pressure off. I kept seeing it sitting in the enrty way and was totally bugging me that it was still sitting out there and I couldn't get things done in that room. Gilles set up the desktop tonight and still has to put the stuff into the hutch, but at least he's helping, so I'm happy. As the saying goes "if mamma isn't happy then nobody's happy!!":D

Isn't Pogo always treating us? (like chopped liver..)

Are you actually going on Halloween next year, or earlier? We're planning to go for Robert's 50th birthday (11/5/2009), so we'll likely be there over Halloween next year.

Why didn't somebody tell me I almost forgot my question?

How was Rotary? Did everyone have a nice dinner? I made DH one of his favorite weekday things so he's happy.
Actually, we had Quizno's subs with chips and COOKIES. It was very informal.

We also had guests. Rotary sponsors Group Study Exchange teams where a group of business people from one country will spend several weeks in another country studying their business practices, government, etc. We have a team from India in our district and they spent dinner with us. One male plastic surgeon headed the team of five females--a dentistry student, a CPA (equivalent) and some other business-types. We had a nice time hearing from them and talking with them during dinner.

At one point, while they were introducing themselves, DD (she's in Rotary too) found herself standing in the middle of them. I was going to say I didn't know she'd moved to India, but she moved away from them just in time. Drat, what fun is it if I can't embarass my own DD? :thedolls: (No comments about my very presence being embarassing enough.)

Sorry Deb - I can not pass this offer up. Ellen I'm aiming straight for you ;) I'm glad everyone has planned my wedding for me so I don't have to. I'd love to have Page and/or Drummerboy officiate and Pogo give me away :D

Emily, have you looked into the San Sebastian winery? I have a friend that had her reception there and loved it. I looked at St Augustine but settled on JAX beach for my wedding. There is also a nice place in Orange Park called the Hill top that is beautiful!
anyone up for strawberries and cream?

I looked into it. I'm not sure what we want to do. We don't want it to be typical at all and I don't want to spend a ton of $$$. I have a feeling St. Augustine might be out of our price range :( I'm looking into Jax Beach as well. Where did you have yours? I'll take some strawberries if you have any left. :tasty:

Hey Michelle, do you get to St. Augustine and/or St. Augustine Beach much? I love that area! I want to retire there. Heck, I want to live there while I'm still working!

Everything is in walking distance so there's no waiting on busses, you can hop from park to park with NO troubles... I would go back in a heartbeat! OH!

Hi all, I know it is late in the day and many of our friends have gone home for the day but I thought I would check in and say howdy since I was off the boards completely yesterday so here goes . . . .HOWDY!!

OK, I just have to weigh in on the whole grits conversation. At the risk of being shot and carved up as venison steak I just have to ask if I am the only person on the planet who doesn't like grits? To me grits taste a whole lot like sand with some sugar thrown on top!

By the way, I think we may finally be getting caught up on the laundry at my wife's costume store. We have finally finished laundering all the returns from the schools and only have the Easter Bunnies and Easter Chickens to do yet.

We have a lot of things going on the next few days - including hosting my wife's entire family on Sunday for their annual Easter get together. We normally do that on Palm Sunday but since DW and I were in Las Vegas on that Sunday this year we held off until the Sunday after easter this year.

I tried to lay a real guilt trip on my wife about her family. Yesterday I spent most of the day in bed because my back hurt so bad. I tried to convince DW that my back was hurting because of all the extra cleaning I have been doing in preparation for her family. Like usual though DW didn't buy it. In fact, she told me to take two aspirin and get over it!! Then again, she told me the same thing about 10 years ago and the next day I was in the operating room having my first back surgery!

Huh, OK, does anyone know if I had a question in all that mess or not?

Are you actually going on Halloween next year, or earlier? We're planning to go for Robert's 50th birthday (11/5/2009), so we'll likely be there over Halloween next year.

We just may be there the same time!! We really wanted to go back this year b/c we loved it so much, but we'd already promised the girls Christmas and it made more sense to get AP's for this trip and try to get Christmas and Halloween on the same AP! So, here's to hoping we can pull it off!!

Wouldn't that be iwannagotodisneyworldrightnowosis? Some nurse.

No.... definitely "iwannagotodisneyworlditis", as it's an unhealthy inflammation of my heart muscles, and it hurts... ;) The whole "osis" thing is another story....

Good morning all.... boy is it quiet during the night without T&G around or what ??? I hope she is having a wonderful time ! I'm sure she is.

:( It sure is.... but I'm looking forward to hearing about all her adventures when she gets back!! That ought to be some fun late night conversations....

Well DUH ....of course, grits is something you don't have to order down here it just magically appears on the plate.
Now country ham, bacon or sausage, and how do you want those eggs?
Now, that is MY kind of place!! I love grits.... salty w/ lots of butter, or sweet with lots of brown sugar on top.... even with syrup, on occasion. However they're served, I love 'em!! And now, seeing as I just got up an hour or so ago.... that bacon, sausage and eggs sounds perfect!! Any left??? :cloud9:

My second brother was adopted. All he knows is that his parents were French Canadian and very very young. We're thankful for their decision....He likes to tell us he's the only one my parents chose. :D

Funny... that's how my mom says she explained it all to me. Then, of course, she had to make all my little friends feel better when they discovered they weren't "chosen".... :blush:

Actually most men are not like me. Most men are smart, good looking, and do exactly what their spouse/significant other wants them to do without fuss!

Funny -- I didn't think you'd already met my DH!! :funny: (Too bad he hasn't been on here in ages... that would've definitely have earned me some brownie points!!)

So - what's everyone up to? I'm about to go start dinner... nothing fancy, as Julia's school is having an Open House tonight, so that's where we're headed for the evening. She did a crystal-growing project for it and it is on display - she is SO excited!! :)

Does walking TTA track count as exercise? :D
Probably not huh? :D lolol
Did you miss me?
Of course it does!! I consider each and every day walking at WDW to be excercise -- it's part of my excuse that we need to go!! WDW is part of a heart-healthy excercise routine!! :blush:

So - one child off to bed, the other reading... I'm uploading all my pics since Christmas and considering a glass of wine and my jammies... what's everyone else up to??

Red-eye gravyFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaRed-eye gravy is a thin sauce often seen in the cuisine of the Southern United States and associated with the country ham of that region. Other names for this sauce include poor man's gravy, bird-eye gravy and red ham gravy. The gravy is made from the drippings of pan-fried country ham that has been mixed with water or black coffee. The same drippings, when mixed with flour, make the flavoring for a white gravy. Red-eye gravy is often served over ham, cornbread, grits, or biscuits.A common practice is to dip the inner sides of a split biscuit into the gravy in order to add flavor and keep the biscuit from being too dry when a piece of country ham is added between the two halves: the Southern "ham biscuit." Another popular way to serve red-eye gravy, especially in parts of Alabama, is with mustard or ketchup mixed in with the gravy. Biscuits are then "sopped" in the gravy.

Now, want some grits with that?

Sure ! Especially Diane !

Well, weren't you the one who call me costume boy the other day?

Actually I was just being silly and stretching as hard as I could for a question! It's been a slow day for questions so I had to make something up. You never have that problem do you?
I was only pulling your leg, costume boy ! oops.... :blush: sorry.

I never have a problem coming up with a question..... except when I want some attention from Rhonda ! ;)

Fresh out! That doesn't last too long around here! Did your i get stuck? (liiiike)
That was my attempt at a southern drawl ! :D

Didn't work huh ??

And what's wrong with me?

Okay, I think I see the problem here. Somebody's been ruining the grits with all that sweet stuff. Red-eye gravy is what you put on grits, or maybe some butter and salt. Next thing you know, you'll be pouring syrup over your venison sausage. :sick:

Oh, I don't eat grits myself, but DW is an expert on them.

Bob had shrimp and grits tonight. We were discussing them and we can not figure out what they actually are. I told him I was asking you all, so please don't let me down! What is the difference between grits and polenta???? I don't like either of 'em though :sick:

Not yet, Jenn...but I skipped belly dance class tonight to get some done. I wonder if I can get it all done within the next 2 weeks!!:D

Carol you take bellydance? ME TOO!!! *shimmies*

I've been bellydancing for a little over a year. Last year I did a recital where we had dress up in our costumes. It was really fun. This session I missed so many classes because of the move, that I won't be doing the recital, that and the fact that the day of it I want to have my housewarming party!! :D We need a bellydance smilie!!!

I'm SO excited...I finished the scrapbook studio today...at least my part. Gilles has to finish putting everything back into the computer hutch, and I'm going to be on his case to get it done!!! Next is the sewing studio...I'm going to start that tomorrow night!!!

Hey Michelle, do you get to St. Augustine and/or St. Augustine Beach much? I love that area! I want to retire there. Heck, I want to live there while I'm still working!
I love St Augustine. Sadly my husband is not a big fan, so we don't get down there that often. My mom usually stays there for a few months in the winter. It is such a quiet little town...so pretty.

I have a feeling St. Augustine might be out of our price range :( I'm looking into Jax Beach as well. Where did you have yours? I'll take some strawberries if you have any left. :tasty:
We got married at the Holiday Inn in Jax beach. I think it has been sold to another chain. It was beautiful, you could see the ocean and people could wander onto the beah. It was not that expensive.
Have you looked at the Sea Turtle? And what about something on the river? I was so against spending a fortune on the wedding..and it was HARD!!!
No big plans for the weekend here..resting after a busy week at work..I love the new job but boy is it hard to wear a lead apron for 10 hours a day!!!

(From ochef.com) What the Heck Are Grits? And Why? **grits is what Southerners have while the Italians are fixin’ to eat polenta. Now, a better question would be, what the heck is hominy?, because that’s what grits are made of and if you’re going to try to speak our language, you might as well get your facts straight. Hominy is the dried kernel of corn, after the hull and germ have been removed. Hominy is a native American food dating back at least 5,000 years, and was one of the first foods the Indians gave to the European colonists. (The Italians, by the way, only got their corn meal for polenta by way of the Indians, so grits has at least a 4,500-year head start on polenta.) To make grits, the dried hominy is ground — generally to one of three grinds, fine, medium or coarse — and simmered with water or milk until fairly thick. Quick grits (a very fine grind that has been pre-steamed) are available in supermarkets, but any good Southerner will tell you that old-fashioned stone-ground are the only real grits (doesn’t mean they don’t buy and make quick grits, just that they know what tradition is all about).

GRITS is an acronym for Girls Raised in the South.-also- A corn product served usually with butter, and/or cheese, sugar and salt.

Country ham is a salt cured ham.

Red eye gravy is made with ham drippings and black coffee. I have never acquired a taste for this type gravy myself. I prefer sawmill gravy,AKA sausage gravy made with pan drippings, flour and milk.

Amy does not play b'ball anymore.:( She suffered a torn ACL her freshman year of high school and continued to play on it until she had surgery after the season was over. This was not smart! Damage to her knee was too great and even after surgery she never fully recovered the dexterity her knee once had.
In middle school, she started as post. Her game high in eighth grade, was when she scored 21 points against a cross county rival. She was a natural at drawing fouls and had a great foul shot percentage. In Tennessee, basketball is a great sport for girls. Amy went to Pat Summitt's camp a few times. Can you tell I am one proud momma?

Good morning all...... we got snow ! About four inches. And I thought we might have seen the last of it. Bummer ! :(

We got a good two inches of rain since yesterday morning.. IF it had been snow we would have been at 2 feet! Ick! Please keep that snow and your cold weather to yourself! I do hope it all melts fast for you and you don't see it again...

Harry is in a hockey tournament this week. His first game was on Tuesday night (and he scored the winning goal!!), he has another this morning, so Brian has taken the day off (he is the team trainer). He will need to pick Harry up before morning recess, then he will take him back to school after lunch...only 2 periods missed. They have another game tomorrow morning. I hope they win at least one more, so that they go into the playoffs on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. My parents are coming over on Saturday night, so they could come to a playoff game if all goes well..... Anyone else want to come see some really good hockey?

I'm so glad your review was better than you feared. I give you an "Exceeds Expectations" rating. :thumbsup: Wouldn't you love to work for me?

Of course I would...and if it helps..the zombie dogs eat humans too. I have no idea what the term for that is except GROSS! The ending (in the theatres) made little sense but the not used one on the dvd was much better. (I won't go in to that for Ellen the whole zombie bit was pretty covered in the trailers and reviews though)

And a thank you to you as well Pogo..to be honest with you both the issues were as much my own fault as anyone elses. And it's something of good feeling to just get it over with and dealt with. Now if you could have seen his face when I told him I was interviewing elsewhere! (that was pretty funny)

Now the questions were on the lower shelfs again. Or is Jasper still washing all of them?

My friend Guy and I just had Cajun chicken (not even remotely spicy) and broccoli .... wanna share?

Sorry to hear that your chicken wasn't to your liking but as one who always has a problem being surprised by how spicy food is it is nice to hear that the opposite happens occasionally! I have never particularly cared for spicy foods but some of the medications I am taking cause me to be even more sensitive to heavy spices. I just wish that restaurants would offer things in hot-n-spicy and plain!

Now the questions were on the lower shelfs again. Or is Jasper still washing all of them?

I do still have a few more questions to go. I am planning on throwing the rest of the questions in with the Easter Bunnies when I launder them next Monday.

Would any of you like to help me with the ironing and mending of the things I laundered earlier this week? You know, if you help I can get to those questions a little faster. Who knows, I may even find a few cookies at the bottom of the laundry hamper - that is if I ever see the bottom of the laundry hamper again.

Just so everyone is up to speed on the laundry count, through last night we have officially washed 68 loads of laundry this week!

Just so everyone is up to speed on the laundry count, through last night we have officially washed 68 loads of laundry this week!Do you fluff and fold? :D Man! I sure hope you have some heavy duty equipment! I will offer you the use of our super capacity front loaders if it will help.....

Jasper

Do you fluff and fold? :D Man! I sure hope you have some heavy duty equipment! I will offer you the use of our super capacity front loaders if it will help.....

Thanks for the offer, but we do most of our laundry at a laundry-mat on the north side town that is only about two years old. Being that new they are very well equipped with large capacity washers and dryers. In fact, some of their front loading washers claim to hold as much as six normal front loading machines.

I am not sure what you mean when you ask if we fluff and fold but we do dry everything and almost everything goes on a hanger. By taking things out of the dryer when they are still slightly damp we actually avoid ironing on a lot of the costumes. Of course, when you have that much laundry you can always count on having a lot of things to mend which we also do ourselves.

The people at the laundry-mat have us on their speed dial and will call us when they know we have a lot of laundry so we can come out when they are slow so that we don't tie up so many of their machines at one time.

Bet you didn't know there was so much to know about laundry did you?

Do you have any good local wineries in your area? We have found that often times the small local ones provide just as good of a wine as the mass merchandisers do and often at a lower price. If you do want a mass merchandiser any of the Corbet Canyon wines are good for the price.

So you will have one glass a day for your health, what are you going to have all the other glasses a day for?

I can't sew Jasper, and I'm not much at ironing either. Does anyone remember "crinkle cotton"? My grandma once ironed the crinkles right out of a guess shirt I had as a teenager. I swear the thing was so frightened it never wrinkled again!

Do you like dry or off dry? I'm a big Zin (red not pink) and shiraz fan but I do find it's the variety vs the producer that people will like. Have fun finding the right one.

Do I have the perfect job for you! How about coming down here and sorting the shoes and accessories and getting them matched up to the costume they belong with. And since we are really just a dress up toy box on steroids you can even try on some of the shoes while you are working.

If you are really good at it and have the legs to attract potential customers I could even talk to my wife about making you a shoe model! Would you quit your job in the great white north and come down here for that kind of job?

I know what you mean about "crinkle cotton" but I am wondering if that was its real name? I don't remember what we called it but I don't think it was "crinkle cotton." Could it have gone by some other name?

:cheer: Yah Harry! Way to go! I think JQU should offer him a full ride scholarship! He can play for the Fightin' Possums Hockey team!

Oh Di, you don't need a passport to cross the border, unless you're flying. I'm pretty sure they moved that back for land transportation until summer 2009. That's what I think I heard a couple weeks ago anyway.

I'm pretty sure you are right about driving over the border too.... government issued photo id is all that is needed currently ... in both directions .... We travel with passports just because it is easier! So can I count you in for tomorrow evening's game????????? :hockey:

Hmmm.. no passport needed? Now I might have to rethink my November Anniversary travel plans... anyone know what Niagara Falls might be like in early November?

You do eat spaghetti, don't you ??

Wow, just walked in the door. Well about 1/2 hour ago and had to see what everyone has been doing this past week. I'm back to the cold snowy weather. Had an awesome time. I meet up with Tink&Goofy & her family on Monday for about 2 hours or so. Very very nice family. Also got to meet up with Jeanne (Piglet822) a couple times. Bad news I got a pretty nasty cold on Tuesday and it's still hanging in there. When we landed in Detroit my left ear is still plugged up.

Welcome home!! Glad to hear you had a wonderful time, sorry to hear you got sick and still are. I hope this weekend helps!! I'm jealous you got to see T&G... she and her DD's really are lovely.

Harry wants to see I am Legend, but we keep telling him it's a horror flick. Is it? Let me know if you think he can handle it (he can handle everything but smooching these days.....)

I turned my back and Greggo is hitting on Patti trying to make a date with her for dinner in December at WDW during the "JQ" meet.

And the Bad !

We had our bank accounts cleaned out completely on Wednesday by some skunk.

They withdrew about $1,700 from our checking and savings account.

We went to the bank this afternoon when we realized what had happened. We closed out the ATM cards and JP Morgan Chase Bank said the money would be back in there on Monday. :thumbsup:

Warning.... do not use a drive through ATM machine ! The skunk apparently used a device attached to our ATM's card reader to scan our ATM card.

Congrats to Harry! And congrats, Ken, on the standing ovation! :thumbsup:

Di Niagra Falls is pretty nice in November. It can be chilly but the crowds will be thinner. You can order some guide books etc via the net I think. Jenn may know moreas I think they've been a few more times then us. You have the falls but also a butterfly consevetory, lots of "touristy" stuff. Niagra-on-the-lake is also really cute if you've driven to Niagra it's only a little bit away and is all cute little village type stuff. Really fun for window shopping etc.

How's Harry's team doing today Jenn?

Pogo sorry to hear about that. To be honest the device issue isn't just drive thru's it can be anywhere. You should always look at the machine to see if it looks "normal" before inserting your card. We have to swap ours out about every 2 years (the reader portions) to make sure they are "tamper proof" as the skunks work as fast as our techies do I swear.

Good Morning! Great to see the pictures from last night! Did you all make plans for December?....I know Patti and Greg did, but anyone else?

Hi Deb! How are you? It's up in the air for me about December. I can't make any plans right now, but it might be possible for me to come for 2 to 3 days over the weekend.

Where's the coffee?

Good morning! Who's jealous he couldn't come to our thrilling meet last night? We really did have a wonderful time.

Greg brought me delicious Pop Rocks chocolate from Israel, and Nikki just brought herself and wonderful smile, which is certainly enough.

Pogo and Patti were great, and it was so ice to finally meet them.

Is it December yet? Let's just all go now.
Look who the cat dragged in. Welcome back Jared!

Wow, I know Pogo said it had snowed in Rochester but I didn't think it was that cold!

Jenn, how's Harry's team doing today?

Glad to hear that William is feeling better.

I better get a move on. Forms to fill out, faxes to send, garage to find to get my car inspected before Tuesday. Anyone want to come help me today? It's not as exciting as painting and pulling together a beautiful new house, but I can offer you afternoon tea with hot fresh scones.

Welcome home, Mary! :pixie: for your cold! Isn't it miserable to fly with a cold?

Yes, it was, my ear wasn't right until late last night. But I'm starting to feel better. Nothing like being sick at WDW.

Chase has returned the balences to normal ! Are they great or what ??????? :D

Glad that you are back to normal! :D I always thought that you were a little off! :secret:

Phew....its hard to catch up on here sometimes with this chatty bunch!

Please forgive me Emily -- Did we meet in October? I was down with my family.... and I am sure everyone noticed my boys.... they are such demure little things... :thedolls:

Sadly....no :( It was so hard to talk to even 10% of the people there. I think Jym said it best at the end of Illuminations..something along the lines of....Hi everyone I didn't get to talk to!! Maybe next time??? Let us know how the tourney's going today.

Wow, just walked in the door. Well about 1/2 hour ago and had to see what everyone has been doing this past week. I'm back to the cold snowy weather. Had an awesome time.

Welcome home. Where's the photos?!

First the good !
Well.....we had our dinner tonight with Jared, Nikki and Greggo and it was wonderful. Three very nice young people. We had a blast ! :D

I turned my back and Greggo is hitting on Patti trying to make a date with her for dinner in December at WDW during the "JQ" meet.

Glad you guys had a nice dinner...and also very glad the bank account situation was resolved. They're cool like that, huh? The bank, that is.

Here's a picture (http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2730/img1157xs2.jpg) from our delicious dinner at Roadhouse earlier tonight.

:wave: Thanks for the pic!!!

So what is everyone up to this great Saturday?

Just chillin' here with food tv on in the background. The weekly grocery trip and laundry = done! Cleaned out my closet too. Going to see 21 @ 4:05 then out for Thai food. :tasty:

So today I saw what looked like a leprechaun. I saw a little man (PC "little person") with a big long beard and a cane and he was in the park and he was wearing all green. Better late than never, right? :old:

I wish the house would be put together, but the good news is...I'm done going to the apartment. Gilles will be handing over the keys tomorrow. I'm totally exhausted right now, so I think I'll take a nap and then head off to paint!!!

I wonder where he saw the ice ??? :D

Was there ice on Lake Ontario? and did he see Lake Ontario?

I didn't see this until now. If I left now it'd be awfully late by the time I got there. The 2 is running local and in 2 sections. It's not running from Chambers to Atlantic, but something else is. Not the 3. The 4 is running on the 3. The 2 is running on the 5. But I don't know what the 5 is doing. Does the MTA know what they are doing? What is the point of not running a train on it's track so they can do track work, yet they run a DIFFERENT train on the SAME stretch of track? How can they do work on that track?

What's for dinner folks? We are having fresh perch on a bun for dinner. Does anyone else think I might have gone to see clients on Friday afternoon? I said there was only three of us and I have about 5lbs worth. Who's in?

Matt made trifle for dessert if that's a better deal for you all.

Sounds good. We had steak, french fries and a salad. But after the way we ate last week this is nothing.

Attn: JQ Parents

So, we're preparing for babyproofing. I've looked at a couple of books, downloads, & pamphlets. It seems like there's a lot of, um, "out there" ideas and some things that I'm not sure of. For instance, one book talks about a pool alarm that goes off when the water is disturbed. At first I though, "what a great idea". As it turns out, it seems to be best for telling you when it's started to rain... or if the wind is blowing.

Well, what do you need Jym?

That's a good question, thanks for asking. I need lists from parents I respect of what to bother baby proofing and what to leave alone. Oh, and some tips on doing it without putting another $1700 on Pogo's ATM card.

:rotfl: :funny:

Jym, you crack me up!! (And I love your new signature line, too!! :D)

As far as baby proofing, I found the most important thing (once the little guy is actually up & moving) was outlet covers and power-strip covers. Oh, and baby gates, of course... we loved the baby gates. Let's see -- and once they're tall enough for reaching door handles, the covers that spin wildly and barely allow parents to be able to get the door open themselves are helpful, too. ;) (Get the ones that squeeze - they're the easiest for parents to use) I'll have to think on this a little, as it's been awhile -- right now, we're into the "Daddy needs to buy a big, scarey rifle and post it above the front door" phase of our child-protecting... just preparing for those wonderful young boys that'll be showing up in a few years.... :D

So! How's everyone?? Sleeping, I'm sure... hope you all had a great Saturday, mine was quick as I spent most of it working or sleeping. Had a few nice hours with the girls and Dan and his mom... then it was back here, to the babyboom factory. Not a bad night so far, though!

I'll catch you all tomorrow... I hope you're all having a GREAT weekend!!
