Ellen - you really know what Bocce is? I wasn't sure if anyone would! We need to make sure the doggies don't mistake our Bocce balls for their tennis balls though.
Once they try to sink their teeth into them, I think they'll figure out the difference!

Did we find you plates? And have we stopped the groundhog sales yet? Goodness what's her name that used to married to Paul Mcartney and now dances is going to come get us if we keep pushing that stuff you know!
Heather Mills likes groundhog?

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.
Ha! I'm not I-talian! But I grew up on Lawn Guyland in a town called Matzoh-Pizza, so gravy runs in my veins as well. ;)

There's a Frisbee golf course in the park adjacent to my neighborhood.
Oh, I want to play! Can we have our next virtual picnic there? Pretty please! And when we're down there we can go to the park in the neighborhood next to mine, where they have bocce ball courts. :D

Today's going to be a fun day at work... I get to do crafting "stuff" and get paid for it! :yay: That will help make up for the 56 hours I put in last week.

Just made a fresh pot of coffee... anyone want some?

Christine

Ellen, I would love some coffee!

Can someone come help me with DD this week? DH is going to San Antonio on business. She has soccer practice on Thursday and I am supposed to play bunko!

$5 an hour and all the cookies you can eat! I also have fudge pops in the freezer!!

What do you call a small pirate ship?
A THUG-boat. :D

What about the cat joke? What has more lives than a cat?

You know -- I have the only dog in the world that does not play with a ball. He just doesn't get it. I think he thinks he's a boy. Gosh! I hope the Blue Fairy doesn't meet him -- I like him the way he is!!

Happy crafting Ellen -- and Christine -- keep chatting!

:hi: gang!

I Nat, did hubby have a good bday then? That was nice of you to not be mean for his 40th. Especially since paybacks can be, well, family site.

Is the small pirate ship a "mini" something?
I got nothing for the lives of the cat.
Hubby's b-day was ok. You don't think I'll have mine at home do you? I'll be at WDW for my 40th for sure...it's the only way I can think of to cope with that kind of event. Through big huge piles of fun at it!

Mini, tiny, small I have no idea on that one...Is Jenn going to come back do you think?

Heather Mills likes groundhog?

I'll take the coffee if you keep the crafts ok? I have not a single crafty bone in my body (in the arts way of looking at it I guess I've got sneaky covered).

That would be right up there with the boss making me golf!

Doesn't Heather Mills like all animals? Maybe I'm confused? I don't know much about her other then Paul didn't hear Kanye West's song Golddigger prior to getting married (makes sense it wasn't out yet) but apparently his lawyers didn't know what prenups were for either. Strange what?

Uh Jenn...you do know that boys are allowed to play with balls right? Not just pucks? They call it something like "catch" instead of fetch...similiar yet different.

Nat, bunko is GREAT fun! It is a dice game, played with 12 people. We all put $5 in a pot and there is a pay-out at the end for most bunkos, most wins, and low wins.

Mainly it is just about food and gabbing, though!

I should go get started with my day, huh??

I successfully avoided a purchase at the bookstore....I had 2 books in my hand and put them down, 'cause I have 3 at home and another on order already.... I bought DS3 some more shorts and shirts though (I am always so paranoid about shorts and shirts for this kid before we go away! He's better dressed than the rest of us for Pete's sake!).

Anyone want to guess how long until Nat hits the big 5-0-0-0????

Whoa what willpower! I too have the same issue with DS and shorts..and then he normally grows on me to boot.

I suspect it will be this afternoon...unless I avoid all other threads and this one. (don't wager money on that by the way)

So what was for lunch? I had the potato thing from the chicken thing from the food wench (don't worry that makes sense to Jenn it's in Canadian)

What should the type of present be for a 20th Wedding Anniversary? :confused:

Thanks...traditional for 20th would be china (and did you know traditional for 10th would be Tin? Who on earth would want something made from tin?).

Modern is platinum...I'm sure hubbie will be thrilled to find out instead of a china do-dad he should get you a nice platinum necklace or bracelet.

My problem with my 10th is Dh already gave me my anniversary band a few years ago. (told you all I have problems with simple addition). And don't wear earings. So should it be a bracelet or necklace?

Mickey'sGirl

What should the type of present be for a 20th Wedding Anniversary? :confused:
According to the web:

Traditional 20th wedding anniversary gifts have a theme of China.
A contemporary or modern 20th anniversary gift has a theme of Bone China and Platinum.
The flowers associated with the 20th anniversary are Day Lily
The Gemstone list shows Emerald associated with this Wedding Anniversary.

I say a platinum emerald ring presented to you over dinner on your new china, whilst you wear a beautiful Day Lily corsage. Whatcha think?

Scrap the ring -- make it a TENNIS BRACELET!

Always planning. :D My wife is so anxious to get started in earnest. We know how many days we want in each park, and have a couple places to eat planned out, just not which days as that will depend on which park of course.
Edited to add: You came back with a little souvenir! ;)

I give her 10 minutes.:D

Umm, you win. LOL! Congratulations Nat! :thumbsup: :high5:

Mikki, traditional gift for 20th is china, while the "modern" is platinum. We're planning on new china, or dishes, as we call them. Not the "fine" kind, but the Disney kind! Hopefully we can find some down there and just ship it home.

They have place settings at that home store in Downtown Disney don't they?

Scott thanks! Yes I think they do have some. However you may also want to check out the disneyauction site as they can ship it straight to your home often for less then from WDW.

Since I already own 4 sets of china (and have been bugging dh for a 5th) I'm not thinking I'll get china for my 20th either. I'm not very good at that whole patience is a virtue thing.

Mine's in August so we'll never be at WDW for that either. We'll stick to celebrating DS' birthday in November there. Oh, and Scott, we need special notification, preferably engraved in gold... sig lines are for the rest of the world (just so you know ;) ).

My dishes are Disney but not in the way you'd think. I got us Fiestaware as that's what they have in the DVC resorts. Now if I could just the outside of my kitchen to have the same view as my room at OKW or BWV, I'd be happy.

Well if you can...and I'm not sure about brands in the UK. You may want to look at some of the websites. I know Mikasa offers a couple of patterns with both square and round options in the same design. So you could have both with say traditional bread plates but the square look for entree's.

I'd doing the whole is it time for new everyday where but haven't quite made up my mind either. I'm leaning towards something like the derby stuff which is much "heftier" but not as bright as the fiestaware.

Who knew it was so complicated? Course another option is to "downgrade" a fancy set and get a new fancier set!

My everyday is a mix of Mikasa classic calla lily and an everday home pattern from Eatons. Which of course I can't get more of. Drat! Does anyone else think 10th should be towels maybe?

I'll have Kathy check that out. She looked at disneyshopping and thought we'd try down there also. Since we're still using our wedding set (we're very simple folk) we thought the 20th would be a good time to get new. And what better than Disney themed?

Mine's in August so we'll never be at WDW for that either. We'll stick to celebrating DS' birthday in November there. Oh, and Scott, we need special notification, preferably engraved in gold... sig lines are for the rest of the world (just so you know ;) ).

I'm not sure about the engraved in gold, but I'll be sure to be "notifying" you guys plenty as it gets closer! In fact, you'll probably be telling me to shut up about it! Haha!

As to the tennis bracelet. You all recall the whole sky is falling Y2K thing right? This then created a bet between dh and I..he felt strongly enough to pony up a diamond bracelet that the lights etc would all go off at midnight. We had water, food candles you name it stocked up he felt so strongly about this.

Very good, I didn't think it would be that obvious. So do you stay up nights thinking of one liners, or are you just natuarally talanted that way?
Did I tell you I was an insomniac yet?

Why can't I get my head through the door ???
Door's too small? Hat's too big? You're trying to go in through the kitty door?

Don't you know I am from the old school ???
Would that be class of 1492? I wondered why you travel so much.

Q (Q-Tip in the medical universe) has all the proper completed forms. Are the sunspots hampering the transmission ???
M says QQ needs a duplicate set of forms that you did not supply (remember, we have top top secret secret clearance, not merely top secret). Don't try to blame the Sunspots, they weren't singing last week (or was that the Inkspots?)

You know that you guys are really scaring me don't you? With all your talk of forms I am beginning to think you are either in league with the evil dolls :thedolls: Or at the very least with the government. Either way it is not good.

Put the forms down and step away from them. We have the detox crew on the way and you will be well cared for!
Your dispatcher got confused and sent the Botox crew. Frankie says "thanks for erasing those worrisome lines".

I'm thinking Tex-Mex or BBQ. Why won't the dryer buzz so I can hang up the clothes and go? I'm hungry!
Just hang up the dryer and go ahead.

I'm listening to Springsteen while I type. "ooh, ooh, ohh, I'm on fire....

Gee - did anyone even miss me yesterday? I spent the day at the Children's Museum with my two oldest nieces.. was lots of fun!

Here Ken - I have some breakfast for you... a bag or tortilla chips I found in my desk - will that work?

It's our 15 year anniversary in '08 -- I don't know what we'll do yet -- We went to WDW for our 10th and ended up with Euan :blush: (honestly) -- so we may try something new ;) . Have you started planning your trip?

Hey Jenn - my 15 year anniversary is in '08 also! We hope to get to Disney for it.. but finances are not looking promising. Might end up heading for Amish Country in PA - stay in some Bed and Breakfast places...

Rhonda that's fantastic news!!! :thumbsup:

Congratulations on another milestone!!!

So, do you have a special pair of shoes for post 5000 or is this a good excuse to go buy another? One needs an excuse to buy shoes? I had no idea about that. Learn something every day.

You can tell God has a sense of humor, he invented the sweet potato! I know many people love them, but I have just never seen the value in them.

I love sweet potatoes! Mashed with regular ones (half and half), baked, roasted, in sweet potatoe pancakes..just not with the whole marshmallow thing.

Yeah, you mentioned it... what a shame.. choosing Disney over Kentucky! I just don't see how you can do that!;) Don't you know that Kentucky is considered "God's Country"? And your RV, with all it's bumps, bruises, dings, dents, travel stickers, etc.. would fit right in down there! :D

I own ALL of Stitch's movies! And yes - the others are worth getting! I also love to watch the cartoon series when I'm able to catch it on tv! I personally think they should put him on Broadway! I can see it now "Stitch... On Broadway"... :D

And you are forgiven - it counts for a lot that you offered to discuss Stitch with me!

Um, Maybe Maria hasn't been around because she is at her house reinforcing it with every kind of security measure she can take - all out of fear that the JQ Extreme Team will show up on her doorstep!

:hi: all -- Spent the morning with the little people. The TA's, Secretaries and Custodial Staff have been striking for the past week -- so the schools are not being cleaned or maintained properly -- there is no administrative support, and the Special Education classes are being run on a really basic curriculum ... it's sad -- but the kids at Harry's school are really good kids -- and other than the floors needing a good sweep and wash -- they are in great shape. We are not allowed to go in and clean (I offerred, but we cannot cross the "picket" lines). Only the Principal and Vice-Principal can clean..... That aside, Harry's teacher decided to go ahead with a major "painting" art project that will take the class 2 weeks to complete -- because he knew I was there :hide2: . There was water and soggy newspaper everywhere -- but the kids really do some spectacular work. Mr. B and I spent our time as their gophers (don't get any ideas now Jasper) --- What a mess though -- and they cleaned it all up without prompting and without issue. They are really great kids. The teacher didn't want them to miss out because the adults can't get it together.... and they are all stressed because there is a schoolwide Spell-a-Thon tomorrow..... Am I talking a lot?

Jenn I've been wondering about that strike...DH sees :mad: everytime you even say school strike to him. DS had 3 in 3 years for goodness sake!

I'm sorry but they all have quite good contracts and really should consider what the rest of the world works for...and the stress it puts on the children they are supposed to be working with..anyway should climb off soapbox now. Oh and by the way for our US friends teaching (mind you this is support staff) is quite well paid here in Canada and their pension plan is the stuff of dreams!

Since Maria hasn't been around in ages, should we redecorate her house?
!

Alex goes on trips and we leave him alone. Shouldn't we do his first? Just so he doesn't think that we will abandon him to any old new person as well? Plus they are kinda close together right? So we won't have to move Jaspers back hoe as far.

Christine can you give us a reference??

Sure, we can do Alex's house first. Do you think he'd like a nice indoor pool? I think Jasper left the keys in the backhoe.

How about basing his kitchen/dining room on Beauty and the Beast - you know - the whole "Be Our Guest" Scene with the dancing dinner ware and food. We could hang a bunch of dinnerware from his ceiling and install a high powered fan to blow on them so it looks like they are constantly moving and dancing! And install a sound system so whenever any steps foot into the kitchen/dining room, the song "Be Our Guest" begins to play and doesn't stop until they leave the rooms!

Heading on out to Charlotte in the AM. Will I hear the drums from my hotel Ken?
You're going to visit my mom? How nice of you!

Let's see Ellen is still stuck in art's & crafts
Actually I went into the office today... got the admin pool doing arts and crafts though, putting together the bags of M&Ms, attaching the labels, putting on the ribbons. It's been days that I've been around the little temptations (the candy, not the admins) and not one has passed my lips. I'm proud of myself. :D Not that I'm losing any weight but whatever.

That's one way of getting the monitor and keyboard clean!

Di, you might be onto something here. If you did that in my kitchen, I'd think quite a few times before going there... just think of how much weight I'd lose! ;)

So who wants Disney news from Times Square? The Lion King is gone... Mary Poppins is in its place. :(

Does anybody know where we stored the Black Pearl replica? The one made out of Jello? And has the refrigeration unit arrived yet? Come on people, we've got a lot of work to do in a little time!

Actually I think our resident Galactic Hero is taking care of the wand thingy... though if her space craft doesn't have the power then she may have to use the Chinook!

I think I saw the Jello Black Pearl replica over there - next to Scott.. hmmmm.. who has a large spoon in his hand and a napkin around his neck... anyone else think that looks a bit suspicious?

So, Alex, sorry your room is so small. Does the hotel offer a breakfast buffet? Do they have cookies? Are they good cookies? (There was an entire tray of cookies at one of my meetings yesterday... I thought of you and the guys.) Do I need to send you cannoli? Watcha you have for dinner? :eat: Do you miss us?

Treatment went well today. They took lots of blood so we can see where certain things stand and I'll be having another CT scan in two weeks (sigh). There might be a bit of trouble abrew but I'm going to try not to think about it until evidence is in hand. Right? And first things first, I have to keep an eye on my leg this week to see if there are any reactions, as in more (possible) cellulitis. And tomorrow I have to finally call the vascular specialist to make an appointment. The results of the CT scan get to show if certain doctors get to roll off my team (you know who I mean), only to bring another one on! What fun! :) (Bottom line: I'm HERE.) I'm thinking of having a party to celebrate the 6th anniversary of my diagnosis. What do you think of that idea? Is it too weird?

Where is the coffee hiding?
Where are you manners, people? Couldn't anyone have had coffee ready for Nat today? A pot's already been put up to automatically brew a nice pot in the AM. Virtual donuts and bagels are always welcome.

Have you seen the Capital One ad? He's already got bankers at this house. What more could one possible need to make it special?
As long as they don't bring along the WaMu bankers' pen, we're doing well.

I'm thinking a giant arm and gloved hand holding a wand with the number '6000' running across it. Anybody want in on the construction bids?
How about we build a geodesic dome over the entire house? The wand would look great there

One thing at a time Scott! I'll get that coffee later this afternoon....

You can have my share of the Jello Scott -- I don't touch the stuff (something to do with a science experiment in Grade 4 :sick: ). What about making Pretzel planks?

Don't you think it would take too long to have to tie/glue all those pretzel rods together? How about we use Honey Graham Crackers? The ones that come in the 'bulk' pack.

Congrats on the coffee Jenn! You're on a winning streak now! :D

Well, they do, but we have to melt the marshmallows down to use as the 'cement' to bind the graham crackers together for the plank. And I think Ken has another idea for using the dairy milk... something about a 'realistic 3-d show' about milk and cookies for Alex....

Well, your coffee could've said "You are wasting your time"... :D Since it didn't I would assume it's telling you that you still have chance - right?

To answer your question first, yes, it does appear that you are a tad bit bored.

As to the rest of your message, I have to say; sure, that made it clear as mud! I suppose understanding is helped if one has actually seen the commercial in question?

So, what is everyone doing this weekend? I am going back to the campground with my son and enjoy the final two days of his spring break by camping in the rain we are suppose to get the next two days.

But hey, I have always said that a bad day camping ALWAYS beats a good day at the office anytime! Where else do you get to spend quality time with your kids without all the distractions of every day life? (I know I have made this same speech before but I can't help it, I am a committed camper. Or at least a camper that should be committed!!:D :D )

Philosophy of Ambiguity

1. Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

2. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor....

3. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

4. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

6. I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

7. What if there were no hypothetical questions?

8. If a deaf person swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?

9. If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself is it considered a hostage situation?

10. Is there another word for synonym?

11. Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all?"

12. What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?

13. If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?

14. Would a fly without wings be called a walk?

15 Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?

16. If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?

17. Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?

18. If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?

19. Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?

20. How do they get deer to cross the road only at those yellow road signs?

21. What was the best thing before sliced bread?

22. One nice thing about egotists: They don’t talk about other people.

23. Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra?

25. How is it possible to have a civil war?

26. If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too?

27. If you ate both pasta and antipasto, would you still be hungry?

28. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

29. Whose cruel idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have "S" in it?

30. Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?

31. Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?

32. If you spin an oriental man in a circle three times does he become disoriented?

Nice try but wrong answer!

Is a newfie someone from Newfoundland? Let's see if that is correct, and if I remember my Canadian geography correctly, Newfoundland is a province on your east coast that has a total population of about 3 and even that number is shrinking because the cod fishing has gotten so bad out on the Grand Banks that your government has largely banned Cod fishing?

Do I get the gold star or is a newfie something else?
