[stitchmich]

Oh and I'm pouting big time and Stitchmitch knows why....

:D:D:D:D okay, sorry, I won't gloat! But I did have St. Mary's in the first round.

[debilou]

PQ, you have my permission to use one of the dolls for Rene's DH's Ex-wife (evil Ex-wife) (is that clear enough??) who won't buy a prom dress for her own daughter....

Stick a bunch of pins in it...

You just can't use the dolls on me anymore.. KWIM??

[debilou]

Congrats, Fran!!!!!! How exciting!! Is this your first?



And, the funny thing is PQ is only 29 years old.. and, wow her 3rd grand baby.. ... I'm not sure if the father (of this grandbaby) is the oldest child of her 5 children..But even so...

Math was not my best subject.. but..hmm,

Well, I guess if she was 14 when she had her first baby.. and then..

no, I can't quite get do the math..

oh, maybe it's that "new Math"...:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Fran, you knew that age thing would come back to get you someday.

[stitchmich]

LOL, Debi! There does come a time when that "29th Birthday" just doesn't work anymore. :lol:

BTW, Chris... Thanks for that little tidbit of info about Azithromycin. As a former Med Tech, I found that very interesting. I've always wondered why it worked differently and quicker.

[idtwinmom]

Well, I have read the last few pages! Not gonna have a lot of time today with all the running around I'll be doing. Drs appointments and such! Yech!

Scrapper09! Prayers for you girl and for your family! :pray:
Rene - how did I miss that our birthdays are in the same month! I think I'm losing my mind.
Chris - good luck on the shoot. I've no idea what you should charge, but your gonna have your hands full that's for sure. You should have seen me trying to get Kristie, her DH and the 3 dogs (forget the cat, I think Pixel last all of 10 seconds with the dogs in the room). Oh, and congrats on collecting all these chatters!

[Christine]

yes Stitchie I love it too, esp the red bit :D

LOL Laura, I have to go over and see what they are up to. :D

Big swim a thon tonight!!! Can you believe it?! We just went to Olive Garden and had pasta cuz that is what the girls' coach always says is good before a big swim.

Let's see can't remember what all else I was going to say. :lol: good thing I posted on page 1000 last night, you gabby girls would have made me miss it entirely. :rofl:

[Christine]

oh yeah hugs and prayers to scrapper09 :hug:

[GrandmaCrys]

In October I will be celebrating the 16th anniversary of my 29th birthday!


And I will be celebrating the anniversary of my first 62nd b'day in 5 days! Earned every one of 'em and very proud of it! ;)

I started out the day 16 pages behind; I read every word to get caught up. Didn't retain it, but believe me, I read it! :D

[stitchmich]

hugs and prayers from me too, scrapper09. I forgot to say so earlier, but I didn't forget to pray :)

GO Gundi Dara!!!! Best of luck to you tonight and please don't break a leg. Very dangerous choice of expression, Rene :lol: Ali always eats pasta before a meet too. Do you yawn before a race? Ali says she makes herself yawn just before a race because it helps her breathing. She said she always wonders if people are looking at her wondering why she is so bored just before diving in :lol:

woohoo!! Happy Birthday a few days early. How cool that you and DSP are close in birthdays ;)

[idtwinmom]

Gee, not much gab since I left this morning!

Well, the kiddos Dr visit went pretty well. You would think they killed her when they gave her the shots (should have let them do all 4, but since we don't need them for school.....). The big thing is I would like to ask for all the positive thoughts/prayers you can give. As some of you already know, my now 4 year old daughter is still not potty trained. I've tried everything (except PQ's big fancy gift idea) and nothing is working on the bladder control issue. So after several unique tests for muscle strength and coordination this morning the Dr. decided we need a renal/bladder ultrasound. I'm still praying this is just an emotional/psychological thing, but I need to make absolutely sure that there is no physical reason for this before I torture the poor child with an untouchable present. So - pray with me that the tests come back normal and I can bring out my mean side and leave a gift in sight, but out of reach (I know for this girl that it will be truly torture not to get her hands on it!)

[stitchmich]

oh, Lisa, you both are in my prayers. That is a very frustrating thing to go through for both of you. I hope there isn't a physical issue at play. How long do you have to wait for results? :hug:

[stitchmich]

Can somebody explain to me why I have such a huge gap of space under my siggie? I notice in this thread today, after I changed my siggie, the space is bigger every time I post. Is that just on my end or do you all see it that way too?

[ReneT]

hugs and prayers from me too, scrapper09. I forgot to say so earlier, but I didn't forget to pray :)

Apolo Ohno the speed skater yawns too. He says the same thing.

[idtwinmom]

Well, since I don't know when the test will be run yet..... DH is trying to get the appointment taken care of so that he can stay with the boys while I take her for the test. If we can get a slot next Monday, he has a holiday and it won't interfere with work hours. I'm thinking it will be at least 2 weeks before we know anything for sure.

[volvoguy]

Check your siggie. The last thing in your sig should be [/img] after the url for the last image with no extra line feeds.

[idtwinmom]

Well, it doesn't seem to be growing, but it is pretty big. I would think it has to do with extra returns in the code. Try going to edit signature and using the arrow key to go down as far as it will let you and then backspace until you are right behind the last image.

[addicted]

Don't have time to catch up! DH is gone:( I'm all alone and life is crazy. Who is scrapper09?

I'm on my new MAC!!!!!!!!! I have only got on safari so haven't tried anything else but I love the mac mini, SO small!!

I'll try to be better about staying in touch, but I less than a month now to get packed and ready to go! Going to be crazy here for a while.

[stitchmich]

thanks John and Lisa. I tried that and it seems there is nothing after the last img/url, but the space is still there. It always has been, it's just expecially getting on my nerves right now :p I tried adding more and less, and it still has the same amount of space. Oh well. I have better things to be focusing on right now.

[stitchmich]

HEy Heather! I'm glad you're surviving! Give in and enjoy the craziness as much as you can and CONGRATS on the mini MAC!!! :tup:

[debilou]

Congrats Heather on joining us in MAC land... let us know if you need help ok.

Sorry about that space under you siggy Michelle, no ideas from me...

[Christine]

rene it says you are green but you are not green on yahoo

[mcbowersox]

Want to hear a funny story? Are you sure? Cause there is some TMI involved! But if I can't tell the GG's who can I tell?

I'm going to go 007 for the more sensitive among us :) (it involves pee, nothing else)

>> So I'm heading for the potty and on my way out of the living room I switch on the tv (our brand new plasma is really slow to come on. Go figure!) I'm in the bathroom doing my thing (everyone else is in bed, it's late) and I hear a man's voice. The voice scares me to death and I jump up and am doing a little dance in a circle cause I don't know where to run with my pants around my ankles. Then I realize that there's not a strange man in my house, it's just the tv! Unfortunately by the time I realize this the floor and my shorts are all wet!

I'm officially worse than my 4yo! But my bathroom floor is now sparkling clean! And I'll have a load of laundry done by morning!

See. . . that wasn't so bad.

All for your entertainment girls. It's what I live for!

[ReneT]

Oh my heck, I almost wet my own pants when I read that! That's hysterical! :rofl::rofl:

[debilou]

Look look! Here I am, no drowning tonight. :tup: The girls and I each completed all 200 lengths in about 1.5 hours! Woot!

:yippee: :yippee: :yippee: YAY, YOU!!! :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: I knew you would do it!! Congrats. Have a bowl of peppermint ice cream on me! :cool: :lol: :lol:

Want to hear a funny story? Are you sure? Cause there is some TMI involved! But if I can't tell the GG's who can I tell?

I'm going to go 007 for the more sensitive among us :) (it involves pee, nothing else)

>> So I'm heading for the potty and on my way out of the living room I switch on the tv (our brand new plasma is really slow to come on. Go figure!) I'm in the bathroom doing my thing (everyone else is in bed, it's late) and I hear a man's voice. The voice scares me to death and I jump up and am doing a little dance in a circle cause I don't know where to run with my pants around my ankles. Then I realize that there's not a strange man in my house, it's just the tv! Unfortunately by the time I realize this the floor and my shorts are all wet!

I'm officially worse than my 4yo! But my bathroom floor is now sparkling clean! And I'll have a load of laundry done by morning!

See. . . that wasn't so bad.

All for your entertainment girls. It's what I live for!

Oh my heck, McB! What a hoot. Too bad there wasn't *tape rolling*! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Stitch, your siggy line is all fixed! :yippee::yippee::yippee:

Not on my computer! Big space - still there. ok...

And, Yes Christine, make PQ go to the timeout corner ok? Please.

Sorry, kiddo, I don't "do" corners.

[stitchmich]

I BOW TO THE QUEEN OF BRIBERY!!! Christy, you are goooood!

[ReneT]

Stiitch, did your siggie cough on my siggie?

[idtwinmom]

Don't have time to catch up! DH is gone:( I'm all alone and life is crazy. Who is scrapper09?

I'm on my new MAC!!!!!!!!! I have only got on safari so haven't tried anything else but I love the mac mini, SO small!!

I'll try to be better about staying in touch, but I less than a month now to get packed and ready to go! Going to be crazy here for a while.

Well, we will keep you in prayers. I know just how busy this will be for you!

First things first with the Mac, Download Firefox. Safari is only OK in comparison.

[idtwinmom]

thanks John and Lisa. I tried that and it seems there is nothing after the last img/url, but the space is still there. It always has been, it's just expecially getting on my nerves right now :p I tried adding more and less, and it still has the same amount of space. Oh well. I have better things to be focusing on right now.

OK, check to see if there are any spaces between the link to the final image and the [/img] tag. If there are, remove those.

They're both floatin' pretty hgh! :yikes: :yikes:

Well, it looked like it was, now it's growing again. And Rene's is officially bigger. Hmmm.... Hope this isn't contagious! :lol:


OK GG's, I need help. It's not the prayer kind today either. I seem to need a new name. Apparently the God's decided it was time for a change, but I can't think of anything new. So HEEEEEEEEEEEELP! Give me some ideas please.

haha! no, I did not cough on you. And Debi, I can't blame it on DET. I had this problem long before that.

[mcbowersox]

^^ Look at your post Debilou! I think you caught it! :rofl:

[addicted]

Oh my gosh, my life is so crazy! I'm not sure how single mothers do it??? I am going crazy and I need some time away from my LOUD kids! It's a good thing that we decided not to wait until June!

I think I have most of the little things taken care of (I'm sure I'll find something I missed) now I just need to start packing.

Congrats to all you DET finalists! Wow you are amazing to get to the 4th round. I hope you all make it! One day I'm going to have to sit down and look at all your LO's. I'm bummed I missed this round. Oh well, I'd have been out by now and the lone GG who didn't make it. :)

what is up with this.

[debilou]

oops, mine just got bigger...

what is going on??

[ReneT]

I think the ghost I heard in my house earlier today crawled inside the DSP server.

[Shana34]

Hey GGs! I had a good day today despite the cold rain. I went to try on my bridesmaid dress. It's beautiful, but I'll need to *gasp* get it taken in. Hopefully by the month before the wedding I'll need it taken in even more. I ordered a bathing suit (ick...nervousness) today so I can start swimming, and my sister and I are walking as soon as the weather and my stomach will cooperate!

Congrats Chris on doing the swim! I had faith in you!

Heather, I hope everything starts going a little bit more smoothly for you. I'll be praying and thinking of you.

Lisa, my prayers are being sent your way. I hope the DD is okay.

I'm sorry if I missed anyone...I really should have quoted! LOL

[addicted]

Yes Rene, I get to pack the house up! Knowing me, the big procrastinator, I'll be waiting until the last week, but we have to live here too, so can't pack up a lot.

Thanks Shana! I'll need it.

Shana, congrats on needing a skinnier dress and ordering a swimsuit. Wish I were ni your neck of the woods! I need a walking/swimming/exercise buddy. My DH walks in the morning, when I'm unavailable and is never home in the evening when I 'm available to walk. :(

:yes::yes::yes::tup::tup:

So - pray with me that the tests come back normal and I can bring out my mean side and leave a gift in sight, but out of reach (I know for this girl that it will be truly torture not to get her hands on it!)

McBribe! LOL Crys!!

I'll walk with you Crys! I need to get off my fat butt! Too bad we all can't really go on walks together. That would be fun! What do you think the neighbors would say if they saw me walking around with my laptop opened in front of me while I walked? Especially if I was laughing as I did it?

Chris, love the new kits!!! Very cute!

[debilou]

That would be fun, Cyber walks....

we don't need a laptop...

Iphones, droids, blackberries.. whatever... Christy...

but, we would be laughing, so we would walk longer...

Unfortunately, I don't have any of those. Just my gigantic laptop.

But we would laugh.

And hopefully I wouldn't pee myself while laughing!

But if I did, we could take pictures and scrap a great page! :lol:

[>>aruaL<<]

You all walk, I'll stand on the sidelines and watch... you know, taking photos of it all going down so that we have something to scrap!! :-)

Christy, I have a brilliant idea..... get a walker and strap your lappie to the top of it, you know, balancing it on the handles, strapped down to the walker with bungy-cords... then you can just push it along as you type on the lappy. Like a desk on wheels!! Ahhhh.

[sands_healy]

Sands, any update on when you move?

Nope not yet.... with any luck they will tell us in November we are due to move in January! That's the kinda notice they give.

[sands_healy]

Oh.... but we do know the Libya job has fallen through.

[sands_healy]

Hey Christy they have adult diapers, so you would be able to walk, laugh and pee at the same time!

[ReneT]

And, I saw my first Bluebonnets this week Rene... do you both live in Texas???

Really?

[ReneT]

Good morning Gundi Girls!!! Happy Wednesday!!! Can someone pass me a Starbucks with an extra shot of espresso? I stayed up last night until 4:30, for the second time this week, so I'm a little bleary eyed this morning. Thank goodness I don't have to go anywhere until this afternoon.

[Shana34]

Good morning gals! The sun is shining which makes for a good day! I've been doing a bit of research this morning. Seems our zoo doesn't open until April 24, but they have botanical gardens and butterfly exhibits. I'm looking forward to that. BUT...the zoo in Syracuse is open year round. I'm hoping that tomorrow I can make my way up there. Cross your fingers for me! I'd love to get some pictures of the cute animals (ok some are not so cute.)

Christy! I forgot to comment last night about your predicament. TOO funny!
:rofl::rofl:

So that's my news. I love when it's nice out...makes me want to get out of this house that much more!

[debilou]

I've never been to a butterfly exhibit. That would be fun to photograph.

They have one section of the botanical gardens in San Antonio - that is for Butterflies... and then the one in Houston.

The one in Austin - Zilker gardens has some butterflies - but not a garden Just for butterflies...

But, you do owe me a visit, hey pretty soon now..

Dang! Shana, another reason for me to move into your neighborhood! I would LOVE to go to the zoo with you. All last summer I wanted to go to the zoo with Jackson and Alex and it never happened. :( :( This year, come he!! or high water...

[GrandmaCrys]

Actually, I think it's your turn to come see me. :yes:


Actually it's both of your turns to come see me!!!!!!!!!! I'm out here in the middle, all alone. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Wouldn't you just love to tour corn and bean fields? Hey! If you're lucky we might even find some alfalfa fields, or maybe even oats. Just think of the photo ops! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[stitchmich]

I love a butterfly garden. I have pics from a field trip a few years back that never got scrapped. hmmm... might work for the IOTW. My sis used to live in GA and there was a gorgeous botanical garden and butterfly house there that we visited too.

Shana, godd for you getting out of the house! ANd extra good for you on the swim suit and shrinking dress size! :tup:

Rene, I don't know how you stay up that late... or does that turn in to "early" at some point :lol: I'd like to join you for the Starbucks :D

Debi, Cyber-walking?!?! You're a genius!!! and Laura, you are so kind to stand on the sidlines and take pictures of Christy pushing her laptop walker. ;)

Chris, your new series is very cute! The little chickie is my favorite :hug:

Oh I just pulled those dates out of my head. We have no clue what they are planning! Hoping to still be here for December so my sis can come for Christmas.

[sands_healy]

I've never been to a butterfly exhibit. That would be fun to photograph.

I went to one when we went back home to South Africa last year. Went at the wrong time cos they were all in cocoons at the time, only a few that had hatched.

Oh, sure, I get bit by a scorpion TWICE in my own bed last nite... he got both of my thumbs.. ouch.

I don't have to go to a corn field.. to be bit be spiders.

Then we couldn't find the darn thing.. we took everything off the bed, couldn't find it..

it's probably laying eggs somewhere so we can have a zillion baby scorpions in my bedroom somewhere..

those things hurt... but, I can type today... ha, no spider is going to get me down.

oh, well, a brown recluse did.. now that's a bad, bad, spider...

[debilou]

Oh.... did I tell you I'm finally going diving tomorrow? Been such a long time since I last went, but in the meantime we missed the jelly season :yahoo:

PHOTOS, PHOTOS, PHOTOS, yippee, yahoo.

[ReneT]

See, Rene, she won't let me HOLD baby Teagan.. that's been an issue with Grandma Crys and me since the day baby Teagan was born...

Yeah but GMC loves me!

[debilou]

Yeah but GMC loves me!

Oh, gosh, I thought she loved me... but, I guess not.. :cry::cry::cry:

[ReneT]

Oh.... did I tell you I'm finally going diving tomorrow? Been such a long time since I last went, but in the meantime we missed the jelly season :yahoo:

Are you serious????? You got bitten by a scorpion LAST NIGHT????

[mcbowersox]

Hey Christy they have adult diapers, so you would be able to walk, laugh and pee at the same time!

:rofl::rofl: Now there's a picture. . .

I've never been to a butterfly exhibit. That would be fun to photograph.

We have a butterfly exhibit at our zoo and gardens. It's really cool because they just fly all around and if you're still they will land on you. My kids like it in theory, but the second they think one is going to land on them the freak out!!

The *visual* had me rolling in the aisles! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:




I don't have any of those, nor a laptop either! I am so deprived! :rolleyes: ;) :D



:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: Thank God for small favors! :yes: :yes: :yes:



Dang! Shana, another reason for me to move into your neighborhood! I would LOVE to go to the zoo with you. All last summer I wanted to go to the zoo with Jackson and Alex and it never happened. :( :( This year, come he!! or high water...

You can come to the zoo with me! Seriously, though. We have a membership plus two guests to the Indy zoo. So I could get you and one of the kids in for free. The kids would love it!

As I'm rolling my eyes...like a teenager... Boring...

You have to give us more than that, Crys.:love3::love3::love3:

Now come on! Corn and soybean fields aren't that boring! Well. . . ummmm. . .
ok I guess they are! But there's a lot more than that! I promise! You could come with us to the zoo!

:yippee::yippee::yippee: Definitely no Camel Spiders there! What is a camel spider? Do I want to know?

Oh.... did I tell you I'm finally going diving tomorrow? Been such a long time since I last went, but in the meantime we missed the jelly season :yahoo:

Can't wait to see the pics!

oh, well, a brown recluse did.. now that's a bad, bad, spider...

Seriously? Was there really a scorpion in your bed? OMGosh! I would just die! Makes me all itchy just thinking about it!

[ReneT]

What is a camel spider? Do I want to know?

No, you don't want to know!

[stitchmich]

Christy, you do NOT want to know about the camel spiders. She has pictures and... blech, I've got the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.

Um, Debi, PLEASE say you are kidding about the scorpians!!! More heebie jeebies!!!!

My friends son got bit by a brown recluse when he was little. Afterward we'd ask, "Zachy, what bit you?"
"Fider"
"what kind of fider?"
"baaaaaaad fider"
funny now, very scary back then.

[ReneT]

When Drew was about 3 years old, he had just woken (is that a word?) up from a nap and was in his bed whining. I went in to check on him and he was huddled in the corner of the bed and there was a scorpion on his bed!

[GrandmaCrys]

As I'm rolling my eyes...like a teenager... Boring...

You have to give us more than that, Crys.:love3::love3::love3:

Were you not taught as a teenager that boredom is only created within!?! Where would we be without cereal? Hummmmm? :taps toes: How could you live without sprouts on your salad, I'd like to know! :p And that southern friend chicken without rolling in cornflakes? Pulllleeeease!

Can I come..... please???

Of course, you can lead the way! ;) :hug: :hug: :hug:

you don't have to give this country girl anymore than that... well, except coffee. Can I come too? :yes:

I'm practically putting on the pot as I type! ;) (Unless you'd rather drive an hour to a Starbucks? :yikes: :shocked:)

Can I hold baby Teagan?

We can drive through all those beautiful corn and bean fields, collect up McB, her kids, Jackson and Alex and head right on down to the farm where you can hold Baby Teagan every moment that I'm not! :rolleyes:

See, Rene, she won't let me HOLD baby Teagan.. that's been an issue with Grandma Crys and me since the day baby Teagan was born...

So, you're beginning to learn the concept of consequences, huh? Don't dis the corn! :eek: :yikes: :eek: :yikes:

Yeah but GMC loves me!

Of course I do, Honey! :D (You have a cute hubby and boyfriend; what's not to love?) :tup:

Oh, gosh, I thought she loved me... but, I guess not.. :cry::cry::cry:

You do know you REAP what you SOW, right? Surely you at least know that about corn and bean fields. :rolleyes: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[GrandmaCrys]

Oh, gosh, I thought she loved me... but, I guess not.. :cry::cry::cry:


Ok, I do love you a little...ok? You sent me a perfectly beautiful Christmas card! ;) ok....

[debilou]

Ok, I do love you a little...ok? You sent me a perfectly beautiful Christmas card! ;) ok....

But, it wasn't Christmas...:rofl::rofl::rofl:

And, no I wasn't kidding about the scorpion... Keith will be spraying the whole house today for all insects/bugs, what ever....

And, Yes, I was bit by a brown recluse, they are far worse than a scorpion. And, I was way stupid, and didn't go to the doctor for a week.. and he hmm, said, well, that I was way stupid, and could have died..

But, it just was not convenient to go... so, well, almost had to have my wedding ring cut off, and, then couldn't wear it for almost a year. and well, had to a big shot.. and then a lot of pills, and almost the hospital, but, talked my way out of that... but the skin was dead under my wedding ring finger for oh, 2 years or so.. and, a lot of my hand..

Those spiders are mean.

[ReneT]

[COLOR=purple][B]We can drive through all those beautiful corn and bean fields, collect up McB, her kids, Jackson and Alex and head right on down to the farm where you can hold Baby Teagan every moment that I'm not! :rolleyes:

Of course I do, Honey! :D (You have a cute hubby and boyfriend; what's not to love?) :tup:

So basically that means no I can't hold her. :rofl::rofl:

My pretend boyfriend is cute? Or my husband pretending to be my pretend boyfriend is cute? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[GrandmaCrys]

Debilou! :eek: My DH was bit by a spider a couple of years ago. We never found it, but from what was going on, we we to the Dr. right away (helps to be personal friends with the Dr's nurse. ;)) and they treated it as though it were a brown recluse bite. Very nasty things. :yikes: :yikes:

[GrandmaCrys]

So basically that means no I can't hold her. :rofl::rofl:

My pretend boyfriend is cute? Or my husband pretending to be my pretend boyfriend is cute? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[idtwinmom]

Just checking in...Heather, this too shall pass. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Chris, cute kits! :D
Lisa, I'm horrid with names.
McB, McB now stands for McBribe! ;)
To those of you who have rising siggies, I think it means you're barely holding your heads above water! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Shana, congrats on needing a skinnier dress and ordering a swimsuit. Wish I were ni your neck of the woods! I need a walking/swimming/exercise buddy. My DH walks in the morning, when I'm unavailable and is never home in the evening when I 'm available to walk. :(

McBribe! LOL Crys!!

I'll walk with you Crys! I need to get off my fat butt! Too bad we all can't really go on walks together. That would be fun! What do you think the neighbors would say if they saw me walking around with my laptop opened in front of me while I walked? Especially if I was laughing as I did it?

Chris, love the new kits!!! Very cute!

You all walk, I'll stand on the sidelines and watch... you know, taking photos of it all going down so that we have something to scrap!! :-)

Christy, I have a brilliant idea..... get a walker and strap your lappie to the top of it, you know, balancing it on the handles, strapped down to the walker with bungy-cords... then you can just push it along as you type on the lappy. Like a desk on wheels!! Ahhhh.
OK, just lump all of the above together for one big...
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: & PIMP!

Those spiders are mean.

Yikes!!!!! OK, I've not been bitten by either. Don't ever want to see a scorpion, but if it was little enough to not be found, maybe it won't be big enough to lay eggs until it is out of the house! Yech! As for the brown recluse - as bad as they are there is one in Oregon that is worse. I'm having total brain meltdown and can't remember what it is called, but had to have both houses we owned regularly sprayed because of the darn things. They loved or landscaping because there was lots of places to build their nests. And I was never bitten, but had a friend who had suffered twice. Both times on the neck/upper arm where she was really lucky because it could have spread to her brain and killed her really fast.

I was bitten myself by those little red house spiders once. Thing was, the darn thing got stuck between me and my blue jeans and bit my hip a good dozen times or more. Left me with problems walking because a gland in my groin swelled and got all hard from the venom and I suffered for a good 3 months. Dr. figures I will always be more sensitive to bites from even the most harmless spiders now, so the darn things that are really poisonous scare me half to death.

Ah... so glad to be in Alaska where we don't get many spiders (and none that are scarey) and no snakes either!

[idtwinmom]

Oh, and Crys - Can I come and just look at baby Teagan while you hold her?

[debilou]

Your powers of deduction are incredible! (And...on part II.......Whatever...............!) :hug: :hug: :hug:

So, that means I can hold baby Teagan and Rene Can't....:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[ReneT]

So, that means I can hold baby Teagan and Rene Can't....:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

No, that is not what it means!

[debilou]

No, that is not what it means!

I think it does Rene.. and Grandma Crys hasn't said no...

So, I'm going with it... :love3::love3::love3:

[debilou]

I think if something is like posted for more than so many hours - it's like a rule - right?

[ReneT]

I think it does Rene.. and Grandma Crys hasn't said no...

So, I'm going with it... :love3::love3::love3:

Well I'm saying no. So there. Crys loves me best because I am the one that found her in SA when she was lost! So if anyone gets to hold precious Teagan, it's me!

[ReneT]

I think if something is like posted for more than so many hours - it's like a rule - right?

Only in your delusional world.

[Christine]

I love a butterfly garden. I have pics from a field trip a few years back that never got scrapped. hmmm... might work for the IOTW. My sis used to live in GA and there was a gorgeous botanical garden and butterfly house there that we visited too.

Shana, godd for you getting out of the house! ANd extra good for you on the swim suit and shrinking dress size! :tup:

Rene, I don't know how you stay up that late... or does that turn in to "early" at some point :lol: I'd like to join you for the Starbucks :D

Debi, Cyber-walking?!?! You're a genius!!! and Laura, you are so kind to stand on the sidlines and take pictures of Christy pushing her laptop walker. ;)

Debi's grounded! Debi's grounded! *she says in a sing song voice*

[debilou]

As, she figures out a way to get PQ back... hmm.

[GrandmaCrys]

Oh, and Crys - Can I come and just look at baby Teagan while you hold her?

..........what you're hearing is the clickety-clack of Crys's shoes as she walks out the door to hire an autioneer...................

I think it does Rene.. and Grandma Crys hasn't said no...

So, I'm going with it... :love3::love3::love3:

Sorry, I was so dumbfounded I couldn't say a word...then I came up with the Auction plan...

oh oh oh, the house RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO ME IS FOR SALE!! The one on the left. Remember how pretty it is? AND it even has a separate finished apartment in the basement so the boys and their families could come and stay comfortably!

Very tempting...Would you like to co-sponsor a Fish Fry every month? :D

oh absolutely, I know my dh would be more than happy to help provide the fish :D

[addicted]

Yeah, I get to be home today!!! I have been gone everyday this week doing something or other. I haven't been able to keep up. I had book club here last night so that was a good things, it forced me to clean the house. :) So today I'm focusing on packing the stuff that doesn't get used everyday.

I just clean out the office. I can't believe how fast my kids can wreck it. It took me 30 minutes to just clean this little 10x10 room.

I am getting more anxiety daily. The closer it comes the more it comes. Talking to my DH makes me nervous too, because he's there and that means I will be there soon also. I know it will be fine, but this in between stage is crappy!!!!!

Hope you are all doing great!!

[ReneT]

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone!!!!! This week has gone by fast, huh? So what is everyone doing for Easter this year? I will be cooking at home. Easter is the one holiday meal that I do at my house. The rest we are at my DMIL's house. My DMIL, DBIL, and the girls will be here. Drew is going to "meet the parents" of his GF, so he won't be here this year which I'm sad about, but I guess that's part of the growing up that I've been wanting him to do. We'll have ham, deviled egs, green beans, mashed potatoes, etc. I need to figure out some kind of cake to bake.

[GrandmaCrys]

awesome pics Sands!

So are you guys all aware that birthday week is NEXT WEEK!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo:

We are going to do the chats on THIS SATURDAY to kick it all off, so be sure to lock out the family and get ready to chat chat chat!!

Isn't this guy like the most handsome man? This is my Grandpa - during WWI..

Guess he was starting to woo my Grandma... hehe

He really is handsome! What a great photo!

[idtwinmom]

Sands - great pics! I was fascinated by that shrimp.

Don't know that I will be able to chat all day. DH is going to have to take care of his car finally. It has sat in the garage not running since like, Thanksgiving. We have to get the tags taken care of (even if we decide to sell it rather than fix it, it has to be tagged). Of course, tagging it means an IM test (wonder what they do if it won't pass, can we sell it to someone else to fix it?) All these silly questions. And of course, still broke!!!!!

Crys - all I asked to do was look! I'm really more into the idea of adult company rather than the baby any way! :lol: But of course, looking at such a pretty baby never hurts the eyes!!!!!

[GrandmaCrys]

No, not coloring any eggs. I need some grandchildren. Speaking of which, I got a text from our close friends this morning at 3am. They were on their way to Dallas for the birth of their 3rd grandchild! :yippee:

You should have jumped in your car and headed to Dallas. You know, kind of like a *practice run*! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lisa, you can look any ole time, Girl Friend. :D

Sands, you are so amazing and your pictures are awesome! Love those itty-bitty, tiny fish!

BTW, the check is in the mail! ;)

[idtwinmom]

Lisa, you can look any ole time, Girl Friend. :D

I kind of figured you would allow that! :lol: So long as I'm not trying to steal any good ole granny time!!!!! Besides, what better way to spend your granny time but showing her off to a friend, right?

Kinda what I figured! :rolleyes: :D (Oh! And the other day when I had some dental work done - when not looking in the mirror - I felt like this is how my lips looked. However, when I tried to touch them, they were NOT there!! :eek: :eek:

I just googled the recipe for Better Than S*x Cake and instead found a recipe for Better Than Robert Redford Cake. How funny is that?

[ReneT]

OK, I've decided on Paula Deen's recipe for Red Velvet Cake. Yummy!

You should have jumped in your car and headed to Dallas. You know, kind of like a *practice run*! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Saturday is MY birthday and I'll be otherwise engaged! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Do You want your BD card now or later?

Happy BD Crys!!:yippee::party::yippee::drumroll:

[GrandmaCrys]

Lisa, you are a very wise woman! :D ;)

Sorry, already sent it your way.

[debilou]

And, Besides, I have to rethink that Montana Trip..

PQ is getting me into a lot of trouble today... I'm not sure about staying with her...

hmm...

[Shana34]

:party::party::party: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRYS! :party::party::party:

Debi are you causing trouble again? :lol:

Sands those photos are awesome. I love seeing all those different kinds of fish!

Rene I would love to see their faces if you announced you had made that cake!

So today was a good day. I went and got my new glasses - everything looks smaller, but a lot easier to see. Then I picked my friend up and we went to visit my grandma's grave and to her sisters, then to a couple parks for pictures. I got some good pictures of angels and such and of her kids. :) I'm still nowhere near your guys' talent, but I'll practice! LOL I'm really hoping this keeps up and I get out at least once or twice a week. I feel so much better afterward.

So is everyone ready for the birthday festivities? I'm excited. I'm going to try my hardest to pull a 24 hour streak! I'm crazy like that!

[debilou]

Who, me cause problems, Crys - how many people have sent you BD Cards...

I think the answer would be ONE!

What problems do I cause. Now that PQ, you have to watch her.

[ReneT]

Easter Identity Theft!!!!!! :rofl:

Rene, your monkey is cute.
Debi, your Granddad is very handsome.
Sandy, your fish are amaaaaazing! I am in awe of that see through shrimp. Unbelievable.

Where did the week go? I can't believe it's Friday already. I got a big order in this week- 120 hats. Bad thing is it's boring doing the same design over and over. Good thing, other than the obvious paycheck, is that it's repetitive enough that I can do other things while they run. So yesterday, I scrapped a lot while my hats sewed. My DET pages are mostly done. I'll probably post today.

Happy Friday friends!

Actually, I got one from my aunt and uncle, too! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Shana, thanks for the good wishes. Not only is my birthday tomorrow, but 31 years ago, I started my job here. That means for exactly half my life I've been working at the same place! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I will not be around here much for the celebrations tomorrow :cry: :cry: 'cause we're having a fish fry/game night with twelve of our closest friends. YAY & YUM! :D

Well, have a very Happy Birthday weekend, and know who loves you here at DSP...

and, eat a lot of nice fish...

And, I know now who can hold baby Teagan...

I slept so well last nite... just dreaming of the day, sitting it the corn and whatever fields, holding the baby..

Can't wait to come visit you now!

[sammawow]

:party::party::party:Happy Birthday, Crys!:party::party::party:
My DH's birthday is Saturday too so I am wondering how much DSP birthday time I will get also! He likes to go for walks at the park when the weather is nice so I will be at the DSP Party while he is out!

Sands, your pictures are amazing! I love those little anemone fish in their anemones!

Rene, that red velvet cake looks delicious and so pretty for Easter!

[>>aruaL<<]

Happppy Birthdayyyyy Crys!!

Wow, I'm soooo behind in the pages here. LOL :-)

The Fish Fry will be in the garage, but then we'll be moving to the house. Should I just wait for my friends to come in and help clean up the house so we'll have space to sit and clean tables to play cards/dominoes on? Do you think this would add an element of fun and revelation? (Revealing that I'm a slob at heart and isn't it always way more fun to clean someone else's house, rather than your own?) :eek: :eek: :eek: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: (And yes, I do need sleep or I become an irritable grouch! :()

Now that sounds like a plan! In fact, if I can get people to clean my house, I am having company this weekend too!

And Crys, I can't imagine you're ever an irritable grouch!

Is my Easter Identity Theft photo showing up now? Don't know why it wasn't working. I thought that was about the funniest thing I ever saw when it came in an email that I read last night. But it was about 3 in the morning, so probably a lot of stuff would have been funny to me right about then. :D I've had a hard time sleeping this week, so tonight's chats maybe difficult for me. I'm hoping I'll catch my second wind this evening. :rolleyes:

[sammawow]

I don't see the Easter Identity Theft photo........... Maybe some bunny stole it!:rofl:

Gees finally!

Does anyone know what's going on with my gallery? It seems to be loading my most viewed pages first instead of my lasted (eta ummm I meant to type latest not lasted) page. My most viewed page funnily IS THIS ONE (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=254236&ppuser=66596) which I did for Marcee when I first got on DET.

[sands_healy]

Happy Birthday Crys. I wish I was one of them coming for the fish fry! I hope you have a really special day.

Thanks everyone for their comments on my dive photos. Those shrimps are realy amazing cos they are smaller than 1/2 and inch, so no Crys, those pincers wouldn't do any damage to me even if he tried.

[sands_healy]

Thanks for the laugh this morning! That's great!

Rene, you should read the comments.... they are the funniest! Especially the ones that said they refreshed a couple of times before realising!

Did you figure out the answer to that question yet? There is a thread about it somewhere. It has something to do with gallery upgrades. You have to change the sorting order at the bottom of the page. They are working on getting the sorting order to stick once you change it.

Fish Fry sounds fun and so does cards and dominoes. Cleaning house is never fun, whether it's mine or someone else's.

I tried that but when I sort it by latest posted it says I only have 14 Lo's in my entire gallery :shocked:. I did find the thread where they say they are working on it, thanks Mich.

bummer. did you change the settings on all three boxes? Maybe you broke it. I hope you don't get kicked off the site again. :lol:

[ReneT]

I don't have any "most viewed" in my gallery. Why not?

[stitchmich]

I don't have any "most viewed" in my gallery. Why not?

mine defaults to "viewed" and "descending" in the sorting order at the bottom. So your most viewed will show up first. Mine is my Round one DET entry.

[sands_healy]

That's weird. . . mine are out of order, but they're all there.

You might want to post in that other thread, cause I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else.

[sands_healy]

Strange.... I just tried again, and they are now in the correct order.

[ReneT]

Oh ok, duh! It is defaulting to most viewed. My most viewed is a hailstorm photo I took last summer. 2nd most viewed is my Matthew McConaughey layout! :D

[carolyn d]

i've been getting notices about moving layouts.. maybe you guys hit a glitch until the layouts were moved and noted !

[Shana34]

Hey guys. Today was rough. We put our cat, Riley, to sleep this morning. I didn't want him to be alone, so my dad and I stayed in the room with him and both were blubbering messes. My friend Marisa decided to hijack me for the day to take my mind off it, so we went to the Clayground to paint some pottery then out to eat with her kids. While we're out, she got a call from her Dr. She's pregnant (unplanned and not really wanted, though she does want to keep the baby.) So that was unexpected. I had to help her through that, then I get a call from my parents. My dad was so broken up about putting our cat to sleep this morning that my mom got him a present...a new kitten. I have yet to meet the kitty (they're at my sister's introducing him right now) but I'm told I'll love him. My dad decided to name him Patrick (Paddy) because he's an orange calico (or Irish as my dad puts it.) So I lost a member of the family today, but gained a new one. I have no idea how to feel right now! LOL A part of me is upset because no cat can replace Riley, but another part of me is excited to get to love this new little one.

Whew...can you tell I've been on an emotional roller-coaster today? I hope everyone else is doing okay. Sorry to spew, just had to get it off my chest.

[mcbowersox]

Sorry about your kitty Shana. That's really sad.

I've been trying all day to finalize my DET LOs. I'm almost there I think! I really wanted to get them loaded today so I can just enjoy the b-day stuff! I'm ready to start chatting tonight! I'm going to the trivia one at midnight, but I've got to sleep some overnight or I'll be a mess.

Are you guys all planning on joining in?
