I'm home...or at least to what's left of it! I do appreciate the pool though, nice touch!!

Even though you were naughty little house-sitters, I brought everyone back some goodies! I have one suitcase left to unpack...I should get to it tonight, so keep an eye out!

Can I post a joke? I have a real knee slapper!

Three women coming home from a shopping trip die in a car wreck.
They arrive at the gates of heaven, and are greeted by St. Peter.
He welcomes them, and tells them that there is only one rule in heaven...don't step on any of the ducks!
Lo and behold, the ladies enter heaven & there are ducks everywhere, as far as the eye can see.

They walk carefully, but in no time one of the ladies steps on a duck. St. Peter arrives and with him is the ugliest man they have ever seen. He chains the ugly man to the woman and says that as punishment for stepping on a duck, she will remain chained to him for eternity. He nods and walks away.

The two ladies proceed cautiously, but in no time a second lady steps on a duck. St. Peter comes back and has with him an even more hideously ugly man and a chain. He chains the man to the woman who stepped on the duck, nods, and walks away.

The third lady is now determined not to suffer the fate of her friends. She walks very carefully and avoids stepping on any ducks at all! The next day St. Peter arrives with the most gorgeous, handsome man she has ever seen. He chains them together, nods, and walks away.

The woman is ecstatic, smiles, and says, "gee, I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for eternity!"

To which the man replies, "I don't know what you did, but I stepped on a duck!"

Ever wondered why chickens get so many weird things made out of them? I mean we don't have beef fingers do we now.

Dairy Queen offers steak fingers.

How did I get in here?

Did I make a wrong turn again? :nono:

Am I having more of those nasty senior moments?

Anybody got any spare jellybeans?

Or perhaps a :beer: ?

There are no peacocks in here, are there? :(

And, who are you again? :confused: And, why are you wearing those red shorts?

Christine, WELCOME HOME! Now please send someone to pick me up off the floor because I fell off the chair laughing at your joke! That's the best one all day.

Who is going to take care of me while you are all off having fun supposedly getting Mickey bars??????? Let me guess...DDCOTR (drummerboys discount caretakers of the recovering) :sob: :medic:
I think I was one of the last "recoverers" on the thread so I'll take care of you! :nurse: I promise I won't give you chili or even ice cream with cinnamon and pointy tortilla bits in it. I fluff a pillow well. And I work for pixie dust. I'll even take the hard chocolate shell off your :bar: so it won't hurt your throat. (I think I need to go take my medicine now. :yes: )

Have you ever noticed that when you put the two words "The" and "IRS" together, it spells "THEIRS"?
And the tax jokes begin... laugh all you want. The IRS keeps my company in business. :D

How did I get in here?
Does anyone else thinks that Frankie sent Ed in here to spy on us? :spy: Or is he trying to drum up support for the next best legs contest?

Jenn, Brian likes fruit punch too? Or is it just fruit juice? :wine: BTW, I think my DS took lessons from your DS... he fell tonight but didn't quite understand the lecture on bouncing. He may have broken his pinky toe. So depending on how he feels when he gets up in the morning, he might be going to the ER after my dr's appt. at the hospital.

Okay... back to work for me. (Seriously.)

Christine fantastic joke!!

And I'll look forward to the rest of you suitcase.

Ellen have fun at work today. I have way to many meetings myself. Yuck!!

And Ed nice to see you. Was that a beer or a rootbeer you were looking for?

And Ken if you want to pay 122% call me not Guido at least I'll chat Disney with you! And for an RV I think I could see my way clear to oh say 101%..your a good risk right?

Ellen sorry to hear about your DS! Mine decided to lose all the rest of the pencil case (you know the one he couldn't get to his French class?). So $50.00 later we now have replacment pens, glue sticks, markers, pencil crayons erasers etc. Do you know how hard it is to find a pencil case in March? We had a choice of Dora (not so much) and Orange County Choppers of all things. Good grief!! This is the third set of markers and pencil crayons this year (and the 8th glue stick!!) What do they do with them all eat them? Do the evil dolls take them somewhere? Is this like socks??

Ed, I ask myself that ALL the time! How did any of us get in here? I'd say you followed the trail of cookie crumbs, but around these parts - there ARE no cookie crumbs. Maybe it's the corny jokes that brought you in? But more than likely you made a wrong turn at the "Where's Figaro" thread. I'd offer you directions to get back there - but we all know men don't ask for directions.. so I guess you are stuck with us! :D

Welcome back Christine! Hope you are able to find your way around your home - what with all the improvements I'm sure you have discovered! ;)

Sorry to hear about all the non-bouncing ds's. I think there may be some Flubber in the hall closet you guys can have.

So, what' s up with everyone today?

Welcome back Christine. We're glad to have you back but we'll miss your trip reports.

Four presents?! I'm touched [wipes tear from eye]. And on top of that, a humongous cherry turnover and cookies. :cloud9:

Hope you get settled in nicely and get everything fixed (tooth, etc.). I'd almost forgotten about the time Mickey went off somewhere and we had party time at his place. I don't think we did near as good a remodeling on his place as we did on yours though.

03-22-2007, 10:02 AM

Hey Christine, I think you brought back enough cookies for Alex and Scott... :D Think I can grab those Stitch ones before they get to them?

Glad your kids are well Jenn... so what are you gonna do with your 'free' time?

Look at all those cookies. (singing) Heaven, I'm in heaven!

I hope you like the indoor pool, it's an Alex and Scott special. ;)

Jenn, I'm glad your boys aren't sick, and Ellen, I hope your boy is ok! Sheesh, what is it with bouncing kids?

71 degrees here yesterday! I'm so excited! It was absolutely gorgeous last night, we went for a nice walk after dinner. If only poor Lauren hadn't had so much homework she could've got some :golf: practice in. Soon though, very soon.

(handing a pillow to Nat) Here you go Nat. Now at least you won't have to lay your head on your keyboard to nap. Those little indentations the keys make in your forehead would be a dead giveaway to your boss that you were sleeping!

No worries he's 45 minutes away in a different city. Unless you think the trainee might snitch? Mind you if my boss was told I was napping he'd be ok with it. Unless my revenue drops.

Yes which rate do you want the 122% or the 116%?

Or how about what's for dinner?
Or what shoes do you have on?
Or when is it time to go home?
Or where are the cookies?
Or will Di ever get to see Stich again?
Or will Deb get ice cream after her operation?
Will I ever figure out the national park nicknames for the South eastern states?

Lovely pictures Christine! Lots of yummy looking cookies :D I have been getting food ready all afternoon for a dinner party tonight. Main course not overly healthy - delicious english cider cheese fondue with bread and apples for dipping. Dessert is black cherry brulee but made with creme fraiche instead of creme so pretty healthy really (lets ignore the kirsch in the cheery sauce....). How does that sound?

Flubber just might do the trick!

I finished work last night at 2:15; had an 8:30 dr's appt; then early dismissal at school and parent/teacher conference at 1:00. Now it's visiting with you all and then back to work! :geek:

Mine decided to lose all the rest of the pencil case (you know the one he couldn't get to his French class?). So $50.00 later we now have replacment pens, glue sticks, markers, pencil crayons erasers etc. Do you know how hard it is to find a pencil case in March?

What do they do with them all eat them? Do the evil dolls take them somewhere? Is this like socks??
There is a trick to pencilcasitis: buy 4 when school starts. OR go to Staples and buy the ones you can put in a binder, even if your DS doesn't use a binder. They're rather plain Jane. As for supplies like pencils and markers, I buy a few sets in August when they're on sale and stash them away; glue sticks I buy in bulk at Costco or BJs.

Okay, I've unpacked that last suitcase...there are treats for all! Anyone hungry???

I only recently discovered Macy's :cloud9: :cloud9: ...what a shopping heaven! Starbucks outside the door. Wonderful prices on suits (and not bad on shoes) amazing sales staff. Hmm maybe we should zip over this weekend?

Don't you think if my DS is having his baptism/first communion/confirmation his mama should get a new outfit?

And Ken does this mean if I see drummers I should think of you? Mind you I did when I saw this interview with the drummer from Ruch but that was mostly due to the comedian with him.

Ellen we tried truly..we did buy 6 glue sticks at the start (plus the big bottle and extra two for home)...and we bought an extra pencil case already. And (I'm serious) 3 packs of 20 pens! (Maybe he's using them like breadcrumbs?).

We bought 20 ereasers (4 packs of 5). I just can't understand where it all goes...this time we bought 54 pens...if they all dispear I'm buying stock in BIC!

The only thing we seem to be able to keep up with is paper.

I may just start sending him with bank pens and call it advertising!!:thumbsup:

You should think of me when you see drummers (with or without comedians, harumph), cookies, Peeps, old guys with ponytails, remodeling shows, broken down wrecks on the roadside,, um lets see, what else?

Ken, the comedian if it makes you feel better was "awestruck" to be with this drummer. It won't make sense to you (but might to Jenn) but it was Rush (not Ruch) which is a big deal in Canada and Rick Mercer (who does kinda politcal stuff) so it was not a poke fun at him but more at the comedian.

Besides I'm forced to think of old guys with ponytails (mind you with tattoo's) as my step-dad. It's a interesting dynamic if we go out after I finish work let me tell ya...a full on banker suit with the wifebeater and zztop beard is quite the look in small town anywhere. Oh well.

Remodeling shows? I thought you just did theater didn't know you were on tv too!

I've had a pretty substantial beard from time to time (none now) but I shy away from the wifebeater shirts. Would not be a pretty sight.

Remodeling shows? I thought you just did theater didn't know you were on tv too!
I was thinking of all the remodeling we do right here on JQ, Christine's house being the latest extreme makeover.

By the way Christine, have your neighbors recovered yet? You can probably just holler over to them through the new 'greatroom' opening.

Can't wait to get out and clean up the yard and get the shovels back in the shed and get Lauren's net set up so she and I can hit balls into it.

So far the only thing I hear next door is a lot of banging, slamming, and thumping??? It's almost scary! Of course when we had a newborn in our home, we kept it silent as a tomb! We were a bit over-protective and over-zealous in our parenting methods for quite some time!

Thanks Nat! I knew I could count on you! Do you think you will need reinforcements?

Nah...I'll just turn them all in for Anti Money Laundering stuff. They'll be there till you get back no worries! (and you all wondered why a banker is the bad guy on deal or no deal.) Don't mess with Canadian housing..don't you know we don't have that many Lowes yet?

I'm not touching the first question ok?

Uh no we don't have a veggie garden here. (herbs yes). However the greenhouses are about 2 weeks away or so from the first crop so will have fresh tomatoes, peppers (note Di that's peppers not peeps) and cukes as the ever popular cucumber is called in these here parts.

With all the greenhouses and farms here there's no point to a garden as they all have stalls at the end of the driveways. And the greenhouses are right "in town" so to speak not out of the way at all.

Is there some kinda memorial thing going on I've missed? I work accross from a legion and there is a bag piper (no I'm not joking) wandering around the monument and playing. At first till I spotted him I thought there was a cat convention. I just don't get bagpipes. :pipes:

Weekend plans? NOTHING!!!! I want to sleep in - maybe 11 or 12. Then stay in my jammies until about 2 or 3, then maybe clean up and have some dinner. Sit around and watch tv. Finish my Chronicles of Narnia book... pure bliss!

You know, unless I am mistaken, I think you only need a passport if you are flying. I think you can drive without one until the end of this year. So who has the keys for the RV and is it fueled up?

By the way, IIII"MMMM BAAAAAACK!!

And since he's such a fan of the food wench that one shouldn't count either right? Which just means I bought one book and it was 4.99 so that's ok right? We could form a book support group right here in additon to our clear need for a cookie support group.

But yeah the Weber's "Real Grilling" has two poterhouse looking steaks on the cover. Who on earth could eat two of those things though?

Personally I'm a rib eye fan though. And I'm not going to turn up my nose at fillet either of course. But the strip loin/new york cut isn't always my fave but can work well.

It's a box lunch we buy from a local church. They do it every month. It's only $5 - GREAT deal! This time it was a open faced roast beef sandwhich with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans, and the dessert. Other times they've done spaghetti and meatballs with salad, garlic bread and dessert... always quite yummy!

Depends - would the 'renovations' done by the JQ Crew fall under acts of nature?

It would most definitely be an act of nature or an act of God! Several years ago I was on one of our guy’s only camp trip and was walking to my truck to get a tool for something. While walking I tripped and fell against my truck right in the extended cab panel. I hit the side of the truck with my shoulder, breaking it, and in the process did almost $3000.00 to the side of my truck!

I would say that I was a bit less than stable in my walking because of liquid refreshments. I told my insurance agent the whole story about what happened, including my “condition” at the time. Because of this I was fully expecting to have to pay the cost of the repairs myself or at the very least to pay the deductible. Imagine my complete surprise when my insurance agent called and said it was ruled an act of God according to my policy and that they would pay the WHOLE THING!!

If something that silly qualified as an act of God, then I think we can all agree that anything we do here would fall under that same category, right?

Jasper, Jasper, Jasper. You really gotta get some patience, son. Remember,we wait until the vict... subjects leave before we begin the renovations. Did you skip extreme makeover orientation again?

Oh, is that what that meeting was? I thought you were all getting together to swap recipes again! Actually, the bright lights from the television cameras blinded me and I couldn’t see who was still here and who had left. Yeah, that’s what it was, really! ! You don’t think I would fib do you? Ah, that was really just a rhetorical question, I don’t think I really want to know the answer!:D :thumbsup: :D :thumbsup:

Guess what I just did?

I got a pre-sale email for High School Musical ON ICE that is coming to Bossier City, LA next month, so I ordered us some tickets. I am going to keep it a secret from DD...she will FLIP!

I knew they had a stage show tour, but not an ice show?

I think anything "on ice" is a good thing!:D

**Edit** Oh NO! I just checked the date to make sure it wasn't on the same day as my hyda scan. The date didn't mesh up, so I look at the High School Musical website, and they are selling these tickets for 2008 shows!!! I just bought tickets for a show 13 months from now!

Ok here's a good one.How do you figure out when your at 180 days?

Seriously. I'm thinking I'm there but miscounted cause it was supposed to be April.

And my dates say 22 of sept. but we've changed it right now to the 28th if that matters.

Please help folks. thanks!
I can help! I have a detailed spreadsheet I use for each and every trip and, of course, dining reservations is its only special tab. So, 180 days out from Sept 28 is Apr 1. (You just enter the date in Excel and in another cell, subtract 180 from it.) Does this mean that you'll still be around for the Icot 10th?

Jenn, I saw the blueprints for the remodel. Nice! :thumbsup: (Did I do a good job, guys?)

Well, I put in 56 hours this week. Haven't done that in a loooong time. Now I'm looking forward to getting to bed at a decent time tonight... after all, I have to work tomorrow (sigh).

JQ Meet? Thursday or Friday? Park or resort? Paper or plastic? I hope we can order out -- I cannot bring my cooker on the :plane: ... This old "hasn't bought into DVC yetter" will be slummin' over at Sports.... (we actually were VERY impressed with the Sports in January :thumbsup:)

We're hoping to do MNSSHP one night -- John hinted that there might be something planned concerning it on the Friday .....

How goes the weekend? I dropped Harry off at the movies (for a birthday party) at 2:45 -- and he's been gone ever since. Oh to have so much energy! Whilst he's been gone, I've done the groceries, made sauce, then made a lasagna (for Monday), then some Chili (for tonight and the freezer), home-made dog biscuits and now I'm boiling the corned beef for tomorrow night's dinner. I like having a free Saturday :whew: !!

I haven't decided where we're staying yet. I'm thinking either POFQ or WL. We've only spent one night at POFQ and we've never stayed at WL yet and hubby would like to. However, WL is about a grand more (just for the standard view). Decisions, decisions...

Don't you wish we had a little more detail about the festivities since we are coming up on 180 days out?

ElenitaB

03-25-2007, 12:27 AM

Rhonda, details should be coming out this coming week. Good point about the 180 days though! BTW, POFQ is one of my favorite resorts.

Jenn, when can I expect my food shipment for the week?

We got up on the early side today, Ben went to his tennis lessons while I read a book for work, we ran errands (Toys R Us to get a little something for Ben in honor of his great report card and getting First Honors again, and the the craft store to get a few things for our giveaways at this week's big meeting at work), then home and I napped for a while :sleepin: Up, ordered in dinner (I know... bad girl), worked on my craft projects and then settled in for an evening of PowerPoint. Wish my day had been as productive as Jenn's was. Tomorrow morning I'll be working on an animation for the presentation and also laundry, food shopping, exercise :walk:, etc.

Can someone send me a Merry Maid? I could really use the help this week!

I'll try to get them done tonight, ok? I have to go in a few minutes to my neices dance revue -- I only bought a ticket for the first half --- and it is 3 hours long!!! Could you image staying for the whole show? I would be numb!!! I won't be home until nearly dinner time (therefore I had to prepare the dinner yesterday....).

We've had a relatively quiet weekend. Yesterday DD had a soccer game, then had a couple of friends come over (note to self...ONE friend from now on! Little girls can be so mean! They try to pair off and whisper...I remember too well!):thedolls:

Then today we visited a new church (only downside is that their contemporary service is at 8:30!!) and enjoyed that. Then had breakfast at IHOP :ack: and remembered why we hadn't been there in years!

Afterwards, we took a quick power nap, and now DH and DD are outside playing soccer while I surf and look at properties online.

Does anyone watch Brothers and Sisters? Hope it's a new episode tonight!

Today, hubby and I went to breakfast and then I brought him home and I went and gave blood. Since then, I bought groceries and we put those away, went to lunch and to Target and then came home and I've been online ever since. Not too productive. :rolleyes:

I should go start some laundry, but I don't really want to.

No carbs at all, Ellen? I do have a friend that lost quite a bit on one of the low/no carb diets. Good luck with it! :thumbsup:

trackbarroness

03-25-2007, 07:30 PM

Alex, I'd be glad to stop by a virtual bakery for you... if I step into the real thing, I may just well faint from the sensory overload. I'm doing a new WoE (way of eating) and there are no sweets or carbs at all! So far it's been successful but I think bakeries, at this point in time, are "out of scope." Would you like some virtual cannoli? How about a virtual piece of chocolate mousse cake from Aunt Butchie's? (You've got to check AB's out the next time you're back in the homeland, er, I mean Brooklyn. You can also find them in the JetBlue terminal at JFK.)

Jen, my leg was sick last week but it's much better now so today I'm back to getting ready for the May 5th charity walk. :walk:

Sandy, you're so right: it's much harder working and playing, than just working or just playing. Did you have fun with your family?

So what's everyone else up to today?

I had fun with my family, but getting home after 11PM a couple of nights was very tiring.

The only carbs I'm getting are the ones naturally found in fruit and vegetables. I do make it a point to have 2 servings of fruit a day to make sure that I'm still getting them! I have a ton to lose, so it's encouraging to hear about your friend.

Ellen,

I couldn't find a black dress I really liked so went with a fancy black skirt and burgandy/gold top (with little gold sparkles that seem to have gone everwhere). Ended up with gold shoes for that.

The party was good, one of my clients won (beating another client in the same category talk about win-win). And I gave away my award without any problems. Mine was to a preforming artist who was on tour though so I gave it to his kids. Funny huh?

And Scott I am so not getting the red shoes now. Saw them on someone else with black pantyhose and well :sick:

Ellen right now we are booked sept 28 to oct 7 but might move it back again depending on free dining. The intercot stuff starts the 10th or so doesn't it? I'm not sure I can strech it out that long. It will depend on free dining really as right now I have to go when my mom goes for the 40% discount.

Ken you mean we are not paid by post count?

And Ellen 5000 looks good on you!!

Yes the fries helped very much. Kinda but not. It's a industry that has mandated limits that just got cut by over 40-45% so it's like getting a notice that your pay "might" (because market price will of course go up if the commodity is scarcer) be cut by that much or more or less. Anyway similiar but not nice at all!

Hi all!! What's happening with all of you today?

So, between the computer crash and the camping trip I have only seen a few posts in the last couple of weeks, anyone care to do the 30 second update?

Ok, set the timer.. here I go....

Alex ate cookies, Drummerboy Discount lines expanded, Nat wore more shoes, Jenn is still a Galactic Hero, and that's the end....

Did I make it under 30 seconds?

I just got back from a weekend attending the annual guys only March camping trip. Needless to say fun was had by all. It is so relaxing not having to worrry about the spouse or kids and only taking care of yourself!!

Camping and fun in the same sentence? Surely you jest my friend? Camping and I have signficant allergic reacation issues.

Do we know how quickly Jasper reads? But yeah it's pretty good. You forgot about Scott eating cottage cheese, you have bbq pork and Ellen going low-carb, Christine's neighbours baby, and Rhonda's venture to Target and Sandy's mom working at the all-stars and my inability to count!

I had you timed at 29.5 seconds! So, got anything good to fill up the other half of a second?

Are you baiting us? ( :hi: Jasper ... nice to see you) :mickey:

Well, no I really wasn't baiting you, but if you have some good material feel free to take the shot! I have broad shoulders and can take a little, or a lot, of teasing! Of course, since I am suuuuch a niiice guy I would NEVER respond and tease you back! Or would I? Hmm, guess you have to try it to see don't you?

By the way, I want to amend the constitution for the Just Questions thread. Chapter 88, sub-part L line 33 should read "If a single post contains more than one question the poster gets credit for any more than one question which can be used to avoid having to ask a question in later threads" How many states do we have to get to approve this before it will take affect?

We have a saying at my house that a bad day of camping is still always better than the best day at work!!

We actually started camping years ago because it was a way to get the entire family to spend time together without telephones, televisions, work or anything else getting in the way. Even though we do now take along cell phones for emergency reasons, the rule is that cell phones are off limits other than for emergencies. And no, just because you have not spoken to your girl/boy friend in the last 20 minutes that does not constitute an emergency!!

Wow, I guess I should have asked for the 31 second update! LOL

Ok, my spring fever is at a peak right now.. it's in the 80's outside.. I'm stuck in my cubicle with no windows... anyone wanna join me on a virtual picnic in the park? I've spotted a nice picnic table next to the lake for us. It's even in a shelter. I have some ground beef and some Hidden Valley ranch mix to make Ranch Burgers on the grill... anyone wanna join me?

Ken, I get the ref. part. And no problem we have great coverage for the Carolina's so that could be fun. But do you mean that Pilgrims show up from mayflowers like the boat? Because I thought you guys put thanksgiving in November. Which personally I don't think gives you enough time to get rid of all the leftovers.

There are good days camping? Jasper if I went that long without my phone I think I'd go into shock or something. I even take it to WDW with me all the time (don't normally talk on it much though). I'm just not a camping kinda girl. DH tried once and the tent leaked on me, my mom made me do dishes and well it just wasn't fun. And don't even get me started on the horrors of family camping growing up...I haven't come close to paying off the therapy bills yet.

And would key lime pie be ok? I made some last week but still have so more key limes so I can make another batch if you'd like.

Yeah, um, you can put it into that round container over there - the one that is lined with that large black bag.

Um, Scott, I think the doggies are more interested in chasing the duckies than your tennis balls. Maybe you should set them down and tell them all about Donald and Daisy.

Anyone got a radio? Or maybe Ken will provide us the music on his drums?

Considering Bret's not here with his super-duper fast cooking grill, burgers will take just a bit longer than the normal 10 seconds.

You want to be hungry for the burgers, don't you? ;) Besides, it's a small lake...more of a pond, really. What size constitutes each anyways?

Lakes and ponds are permanently wet year round. The main difference between a lake and a pond is the size. A lake is usually defined as a body of water large enough to have at least one wind-swept beach; ponds usually are not large enough for winds to blow across the water and create waves to wash away the plants that may be trying to take root. A lake is too deep for rooted plants to grow except near the shore. The deepest lake is Lake Superior, one of the five Great Lakes in the northeastern part of the United States. Lakes are generally composed of fresh water; although one exception is Salt Lake in Salt Lake City, Utah. Often lakes are attached to each other in a chain-like pattern and flow in and out of each other like the Chain-O-Lakes in Wisconsin. Many times, lakes are the source for some rivers. These rivers and lakes often share similar characteristics and habitats.

Lakes and ponds are sometimes classified by the amounts and kinds of organic materials produced and decayed from the processes of photosynthesis and decomposition. Lakes and ponds, where there is a good balance between photosynthesis and decomposition, are said to be oligotrophic. The middle of Lake Michigan can be classified as oligotrophic. When the balance is upset between these two processes, either too much organic material accumulates without getting decomposed adequately or too many bacteria are present and an overabundance of decomposition occurs. Eutrophic lakes and ponds have an abundance of nutrients, and an abundance of decay-causing organisms to break down all the organic material being produced. Their bottoms fill up with rich sediment. Sometimes there are so many bacteria, that oxygen is depleted and the waters become stagnant. Most inland lakes are eutrophic. In dystrophic lakes and ponds there is a lack of decomposition from bacteria and the nutrients build up. Bogs are an example of thick layers of peat moss and other plants building up because very little decay is taking place.

Sorry you asked yet?

And Scott I'm not carrying anything that's decaying!

You have a human at your fingertips? Are you tickling it? Scratching it's back? :D

Ah no it's my trainee remember. I don't think it's good form to tickle someone who's doing all your filing. Or is it? Naw seems mean. And scratching seems not such a good thought either. The whole professional behaviour in the workplace deal.

Correct! Do you know this one? What do you call a cow standing on the side of a hill?

No, no one has brought me the plates yet. I think the smell of the cooking groundhog chased everyone away. Umm.. do you mean Heather Mills?

Is that a side of beef? Yes Heather Mills. I didn't think chickie with one leg was the right way to describe it. And it does appear that Jasper scared us all. In fact me too..I'm running away in about 5 minutes.

Groundhog again Jasper? :sick:

Actually, I didn't see anything that looked like groundhog this weekend. I think that most of what I saw was opposum and one deer. There were also two others that I think were originally somones pets. Since I don't want to offend anyone I won't mention their specie. And before you ask, no, I did not hit any of them I just happened to see them alongside the roads.

You could certainly tell that our weather has changed to the warmer because of the number of critters that were out and about this weekend. However, it was great camping because although the mammels were out, the insects were not.

(reaching into the pantry) Why do some people always seem to have more luck than others?

Nope, not a side of beef... it's LEAN beef (get it - the cow is on the side of the hill so it's leaning...)

Well, I guess I am left behind to clean up the mess... Hmmm... who has that number to the Merry Maids? Do you think they will clean up after a virtual picnic at a virtual park?

I don't know but when you find the number you'd better slide it down to Jasper what with all his roadkill issues. Yikes!

So for tommorow can we try to go the whole day with no yucky stuff? I don't want to have to keep using the :sick: smiley!

Jasper

Jasper, isn't groundhog almost always, well, "ground"?

Depends, are you talking about the rodent or the hog that people eat? :D :D

I prefer most of my hogs ground into sausage but I prefer my groundhogs stuffed!!

Lakes and ponds are permanently wet year round. The main difference between a lake and a pond is the size. A lake is usually defined as a body of water large enough to have at least one wind-swept beach; ponds usually are not large enough for winds to blow across the water and create waves to wash away the plants that may be trying to take root. A lake is too deep for rooted plants to grow except near the shore. The deepest lake is Lake Superior, one of the five Great Lakes in the northeastern part of the United States. Lakes are generally composed of fresh water; although one exception is Salt Lake in Salt Lake City, Utah. Often lakes are attached to each other in a chain-like pattern and flow in and out of each other like the Chain-O-Lakes in Wisconsin. Many times, lakes are the source for some rivers. These rivers and lakes often share similar characteristics and habitats.

Lakes and ponds are sometimes classified by the amounts and kinds of organic materials produced and decayed from the processes of photosynthesis and decomposition. Lakes and ponds, where there is a good balance between photosynthesis and decomposition, are said to be oligotrophic. The middle of Lake Michigan can be classified as oligotrophic. When the balance is upset between these two processes, either too much organic material accumulates without getting decomposed adequately or too many bacteria are present and an overabundance of decomposition occurs. Eutrophic lakes and ponds have an abundance of nutrients, and an abundance of decay-causing organisms to break down all the organic material being produced. Their bottoms fill up with rich sediment. Sometimes there are so many bacteria, that oxygen is depleted and the waters become stagnant. Most inland lakes are eutrophic. In dystrophic lakes and ponds there is a lack of decomposition from bacteria and the nutrients build up. Bogs are an example of thick layers of peat moss and other plants building up because very little decay is taking place.
!

That's what I thought the difference was between the two!!! You know, I bet this will come up in conversation at the next cocktail party I attend (not!!)

So, with all of what you said, can you tell me how the people down the road from us decided to name their little puddle of water Lake Henry? The entire body of water is only about 30 feet across and no more than 5 feet deep at the middle!

Wow, you guys made up for lost time over the weekend!

And I was trying at first to see what Pilgrims has to do with dogs...but maybe it's chickens?

Does England have a consitution or is it a Charter? Will this impact our negoations?

We have the Magna Carta....

Hey, we have a toy cat at our house that is in a really sorry state. Could you use the tail from that for the kite?

Mikki he doesn't mean Figaro...honest he doesn't. (Jasper run fast! Faster!!)

Actually, that was a stuffed cat, not a real one. I would never hurt a poor little kitty on purpose. However, I know some dogs that I might consider doing in! Ok, even though I really want to shut up that noisy neighbor dog, I will settle for using earplugs.

Jasper, Jasper, Jasper. A stuffed cat is even worse than a live one says Figaro. You can not run far enough to escape from his horror at your suggestion. However, I suggest using a super soaker to encourage the noisy dog to wimper instead of bark. Would you prefer that to ear plugs?

Please keep yourselves under control while I go and lie down for the night...... ;)

You are kidding right? Did you forget that you are not the only I-talian here in JQ. Me and, um, who was that other person that has been noticeably absent in JQ....Maria! Yes that's her name.

Have I been posting on the wrong site ??? None of my words of wisdom have been showing up. Must have been that last double secret agent assignment. I must have been in the double secret agent parallel universe and didn't even realize it until my laptop battery ran down, I ran out out pork rinds and had to make a quick trip to the double secret agent supply depot. :cool:

Hmm... a name? How about "Frankie"? My thinking - the monitor checks my heart as it throbs - and Frankie was a major heart throb back in his day... what do you think?

Did I mention that my name has a copyright ??? I do take royalties though.

pjbs35a

03-26-2007, 08:07 PM

Ok Ken, you have guilted me into changing the name of my monitor... from hence forth, in Ken's honor it will be called "Frankie Drummerboy". There - does that put a smile on your face?

I could never share as a child. Do you think I have changed now that I am a teenager ???

pjbs35a

03-26-2007, 08:18 PM

Wonder what Frankies might look like. Any ideas?

Where would you like me to send the 8X10 glossies ??? They are cheaper by the 100. Autographs are slightly more expensive. But they will be worth it when I am rich and famous.

03-26-2007, 08:23 PM

I have no details....I have only heard that he has award winning legs. Everytime I think of it I have a mental image of "The Old Man" opening his "Major Award" in "A Christmas Story". Do you think Frankie's legs light up?

Details are in the INTERCOT Vault. Did you know that only one leg lights up ??? Too much voltage if both were wired !!!

03-26-2007, 08:25 PM

I recall it was some thing about the 'hairiest legs'? How well would that go with a Tink outfit? :sick:

[QUOTE=Beast_fanatic;1235017]Sure! Hubby isn't sure he wants to ride Space Mountain this time around though. We had a rough ride last time around. But, I will! Are you going to post your schedule when it comes time so we know when you'll be there? That's assuming that you're still on SM in October.

Will do Rhonda :thumbsup: The thing is I don't know what rotation I'm in on any given day. Even if he doesn't want to ride he can wait down stairs for you at unload err I mean where you get off the train. :D Do you suppose JohnY will be willing to ride Space Mountain also? :cool:

So, I wasn't able to find the leg pics of the great competition, but I found this pic of Frankie and Ken (http://travel.webshots.com/photo/1104777003027495723utFFaS). Of course, Frankie (seated) is wearing a disguise due to his double secret agent requirements. Do you think those were even really his own legs? Maybe they were "enhanced" due to the disguise.

Do I look younger now than I did then ??? I guess my question is, "Was the surgery worth it ???"

pjbs35a

03-26-2007, 09:25 PM

Do you mean Frankie's not scared of anything or that we're all scared of Frankie? I think we need a catchy name for our Peep S'mores. Anybody want to help? I'd say PeepMores, but somebody might think that's just talking about Frankie being a masher. Shouldn't they make them in Sheep shapes and call them 'Little-Bo-Peeps'?

Which question would you like to answer first ???

pjbs35a

03-26-2007, 09:31 PM

Do you think Frankie might come back from his secret missions to keep us company?

Maybe if we get him to teach us how to make gumbo?

With or without okra ???

03-26-2007, 09:34 PM

Does anyone else thinks that Frankie sent Ed in here to spy on us? :spy: Or is he trying to drum up support for the next best legs contest?

Did you notice which one of the Ten Ed's made an appearance ???

03-26-2007, 09:41 PM

Nobby knees!?!?! I'll have you know that I have cute knees. In fact, I am gunning for Frankie's best legs title.

Didnt you hear the news ??? Leg contests have been permanently banned at the POLY and the trophy has mysteriously disappeared.

By the way, I want to amend the constitution for the Just Questions thread. Chapter 88, sub-part L line 33 should read "If a single post contains more than one question the poster gets credit for any more than one question which can be used to avoid having to ask a question in later threads" How many states do we have to get to approve this before it will take affect?

Sorry, no amendments of the questions rule in this case. :nono: And, yes, I noticed your violation earlier today. :nono:

I love burgers on the barbie...

I always thought burgers were better on hamburger buns than on Barbie dolls. :confused:

Does anyone know how to set up the course?

There's a Frisbee golf course in the park adjacent to my neighborhood.

Why am I the only one posting ??? I show up and everyone heads for the hills ??? I did take a shower on Saturday !!! Always on the fourth Saturday of the month !!!

Frankie, have you not been introduced to the multi-quote feature yet? It's very handy. :thumbsup:

If it weren't for the fact that this is a family web site, I would remind you all about why it is not necessarily a bad thing to be in a certain kind of cat house!!!:thumbsup: :D

[Catches breath after running through several pages]

Ok, even though I really want to shut up that noisy neighbor dog, I will settle for using earplugs.
I fail to see how giving the dog earplugs will help your problem. :confused:

Did we already pass the question ammendment?
You haven't even passed step one: Passing it in every hamlet in town in the continental U.S. before you send it for state votes, not to mention the international thing.

Could they be from Drummer Boy's Discount Butcher Shop? I heard there had been some high quality road kill after the weekend so I imagine he has a lot to offer this morning!! LOL
We're having some might fine specials on venison this week...

BLECH!! Di get them off the grill. And don't let Ken supply the ice cream either!

Oh and do we have tomatoes for the burgers? Hot peppers perhaps?
Did somebody order our special tomato/hot pepper sundae?

We have the Magna Carta....

I thought that was the big road atlas?

Must have been that last double secret agent assignment. I must have been in the double secret agent parallel universe and didn't even realize it until my laptop battery ran down, I ran out out pork rinds and had to make a quick trip to the double secret agent supply depot. :cool:
Q (QQ in the parallel universe) is most upset that you did not use the proper requesitions before you raided the supply depot. I believe that may have an effect on your next assignment.

Good try, but this trick was tried back in the Great Filibuster of '26. Can you guess the outcome then ???
Global warming?

So anyway--Why did the chicken cross the road? To show the possum it could be done.
(Which reminds me, DDBS is having a special on ground possum this week too.)

You may now resume your regularly scheduled programming.
