Chatting with Gundi

[idtwinmom]

Rene - I'm with Crys, you could have fooled me with that pic.
Dorene - glad you stopped by. Sounds like your life is as busy as mine.
Crys - Hard to believe Rene didn't get hurt this time, as I agree that it seems like something always happens to her!!!! :lol:

[GrandmaCrys]

Lisa, I'd say she's livin' on borrowed time; what do you think? :eek: :eek:

[ReneT]

Crys - Hard to believe Rene didn't get hurt this time, as I agree that it seems like something always happens to her!!!! :lol:

Well, I will tell you that Flat Stitch was a VERY bad girl in Cali!!! I personally was quite appalled at her wanton behavior and loose lips! :eek::eek::eek: Pictures to come! :eek::eek::eek:

whoa! looks like I popped in just in time to defend myself! Wait, I can't defend myself, because I don't remember a thing!
007:apparently I drank too much.

007again: Wait! It's not the real Hulk Hogan? You had me fooled too!!!

[Christine]

Dorene so good to have you popping in!

Rene I was trying to figure out who that even was. LOL Did I ever tell you I am not that great at identifying movie stars, singers etc. :rofl: Once you said though I was like oh yeah :)

Lisa and Dorene and anyone who might be needing a green/brown boy scout shirt. I went into the scout shop the other day and found out that the ladies scout shirts were EXACTLY the same as the boys' shirts but the buttons were on the opposite side. Because the chest pockets were the bulky style and apparently women did like bulky pockets on their chests, they have redesigned them to have flat pockets, so what? you say? WELLLLLLLL, they have put the old ones on clearance for FIVE BUCKS!! As I said the old ones are exactly the same as the boys' shirts, except the buttons and who cares about the buttons. So I got me one cuz I am a leader and got ds1 one cuz he will be in weblos before too long and can wear it then and when he is a boy scout. Compared to the $39 they want for the boys' shirts, I am thinking $5 is a pretty dang good deal!

[Christine]

not a good sign stitch. :rofl:

[ReneT]

007:apparently I drank too much.

APPARENTLY is right! :yes::yes::yes:

[carolyn d]

So the in laws arrived on Wednesday and I've already had a run in with FIL about his swearing in front of my kids. He literally went and sulked in the room...... still have 4 weeks to go....you would think, as an adult, he would know better... or at least be courteous in someone else's home... good luck to you... sounds like you'll need it ! haha

[Christine]

hi caroD good to see you

[debilou]

You are pretty smart Gundi...

But, why didn't you just photoshop them there??:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[debilou]

Why Carolyn is back in the house, hello to you!

And, Rene, exactly who is Captain jack? Since we now know the Hulk is not real? Who all lives in Rene's fantasy land???

And, my bouncing baby - ok teenage boy gets dropped off by the stork on October 9th..
So, the cycle of life continues... we become parents again... We have to wait until his "&*UO" Father gets health insurance for him, and some medications, and, some say other necessary things of life... before we move him in with us.. All things his father SHOULD have done for him a long time ago.. My husband just pressed the issue - since we can't afford to pay these prices...

So, we become parent's again.. our lives we change - but I think for the better - this kid needs love - and, that's one thing we can give him, plenty of love.. oh my DGS name is Kyle.. so, when you hear me talk about Kyle.. that is my DGS.. ... can't wait to start taking photos of him - they never did..

[GrandmaCrys]

I'd say Kyle is landing in the best place possible. debilou, you and your husband are awesome!!! :hug: :hug: :hug:

CaroD!! Where have you been hiding?

[ReneT]

And, Rene, exactly who is Captain jack? Since we now know the Hulk is not real? Who all lives in Rene's fantasy land???

Captain Jack lives with my new friend Lynnie (I LOVE her, BTW). I'm moving in with Lynnie soon and she said if I get Capt Jack drunk enough he will show me his sword collection! I told her I'm not above spiking a man's drink with a little rum! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[sands_healy]

Sigh..... shoot me now please!!!!

As I type FIL is getting ready for a meeting with DH's boss, and mostly likely will get employed to help out with the shutdown which is due to happen during October. Which, for me, means that they will now be here till the end of October, first week of November :annoyed::annoyed::mad::mad::annoyed::annoyed:

I don't know if they are disposable or not, but I've heard they're quite large! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

OMG, I asked remember if having your MIL and FIL visiting with you was a GOOD THING and YOU SAID

YES!!

Quit playing Bejeweled - and all of your problems will go away.. ok, do the daily spin and give me points ok..

that parts ok..

but, quit beating me every darn time, that part is bad.. I think that is the problem..

[debilou]

Ok, I got my laugh for the day.. as I read thru the prior posts.. Rene.. you better watch what you say around here..

I do remember you asking and I said Yes and No!!! :)... Yes cos the kids really need to have some quality time with them and No cos I'm normally at loggerheads with FIL.

[debilou]

don't remember the NO part.. hmm.

[Noremacc]

I didn't get hurt on this trip!!!! Yay me!!!! And there was a big fire alarm fiasco at 4:30 in the morning at the hotel we were staying at and also the Secret Service were there with the President of the Phillipines! How crazy is that?

007: That really isn't Hulk Hogan, it was just a younger, taller lookalike, but don't tell the new members of DET 12, because I have them going right now!!!! Sssssshhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Too bad some of us don't have anything better to do than read through some of the forums at work... :lol::lol:

and wow, taller than 6'4"... He's a pretty big guy... I used to see him around town years ago...

[>>aruaL<<]

Noremacc, thats a beautiful avatar pic! I don't know why, but I pictured you having really short black hair, and curly.... like my health teacher in high school, lol! I don't know why I did though.... lol!

Moi? I'm offended by your baseless accusations!

[Christine]

hey everyone! so glad to have you all back!

Hi Lori, so glad you found your way over, funny about Laura thinking you had black curly hair, I always thought it was long and straight, but blond. hmmmmm wonder where we come up with these things.

I am so excited, a few weeks ago I finally went through and got about 60 LOs that I had all done ready to print and sent them to Costco, picked them up etc. Well because these are my older LOs they are 8.5 x 11 which means that I put 2 of them on a 12x18 sheet and printed them, so I had to cut them apart. Took forever to cut them a little here and a little there, then they were sitting on my desk in a pile waiting to go in the books. Well this morning I did it! All of them are now living in their happy little books. I can't even tell you how behind I am, but at least that part is done. I am still organizing cuz I am sure I have more ready that I just need to get on the 12x18s etc, but a little bit at a time. I also really need to go through my gallery because I lost about 100 LOs when my EHD crashed a year or two ago. So I need to figure out which ones made it to print and which ones didn't...do I want to rework them or start over etc etc. Once I get caught up through 2006 (yes I know...hush) then I will do 2007 and on 12x12 and actually print them in a book. Again I have lots of those pages done, but they need organization too. Getting depressed now, sooooooo I must say again..........yay! my stack of LOs is cut and in their books. :D

hi caroD good to see younice seeing you too... now that "summer" has officially ended, and once I'm back from vacation, and get through a wedding shoot, (ugh) hopefully I'll have more time to play... where the HECK did the summer go?

[Noremacc]

Hi Lori, so glad you found your way over, funny about Laura thinking you had black curly hair, I always thought it was long and straight, but blond. hmmmmm wonder where we come up with these things.

Actually, my hair is blond now, but it is thanks to a bottle… and I am in dire need of a touch up… lol…

I lurk in and round at times, I just never seem to have any thing nearly as interesting to say as you guys… so it is fun to just read. Besides, I can never keep up with who is doing what with whom, when and where, and for how many jelly beans… :rofl::rofl:

[idtwinmom]

Dorene so good to have you popping in!

Ok, so the boys are in Wolves now, so how many years before they are Weblos? Too far ahead might make the sizes iffy, but for that price......... Help, should I say pick up 2 at some size and tell you I will pay the price plus shipping?

[idtwinmom]

nice seeing you too... now that "summer" has officially ended, and once I'm back from vacation, and get through a wedding shoot, (ugh) hopefully I'll have more time to play... where the HECK did the summer go?

I think I know where your summer went: right through the lens of your camera! Good to see you popping in!

[GrandmaCrys]

Hi everyone! I actually spent the afternoon scrapping a layout.

Stitch, I'm having a tough time reconciling the flat you to the 3-D version! :yikes: :yikes:

Rene, I've come to expect such things from you! :eek: :eek:

Lori, I had no preconceived notions about what you look like, but it seems it doesn't matter how many times I read "Paradise, FL", I always want you to live in California.

And...we don't have much to say either, but that doesn't stop us, so join right in! :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Christine]

Wolves, Bears, Weblos so the Weblos are the 10 year olds. Do you not have a scout shop by you? I got the impression this was a scout wide thing, so you might be able to get the same deal at the local scout shop. I am happy to get them for you or since you don't need them right now, Kristie has family down here, I could hold onto them until she heads this way. As far as sizes I went BIG, my goal is to have the same shirt all the way to Eagle. LOL I had one of Lexi's teammates, try on the one I got for Zach and he is 15 and it fit fine. I got a medium for me and a large for him. I figure if I get released he can always wear the medium to begin with, plus we have Josh coming up too, so I probably will need 2 of those shirts for at least some of the time.

[Christine]

so did they get their bobcats yet? We do a fun face painting ceremony when our cubs advance.

Do you see? Do you? Do you?!!!!

Okay, all you Gundi Girls now is the time!!
COME SEE US IN SLC!!! Sands it would be so awesome to see you again!!

[debilou]

Oh, OH, I wish I could come to Utah!!!!

But, I have to be a mommy again.. and, it's way too soon in getting Kyle into the family to leave him..

darn..

I think a lot of things - no rephrase - I KNOW a lot of things are going to be changing in my lifestyle with Kyle living with us - ESPECIALLY since we live in a retirement area - no kids his age around us..

But, The Lord has a way of always working - we just found out about 2 months ago or so - that Keith's niece and, her son - who is just about Kyle's age moved to our area - and they are only 15 minutes from our home.

It was a total accident (a happy accident) that we found out.. and, we have already got together with them 3 times - had already planned to do Thanksgiving and Christmas with them..

Well, now Thanksgiving and Christmas will be sooo much more special..

So, Kyle will have a (guess it would be 2nd cousin) Jerod - who lives about 15 minutes from us - and they both have similar interests.. music.. and, both want to go into the music business... so, they should have something to talk about..

I just give praise to the LORD each day as HE brings the Joy of our niece into our lives - as she is such a beautiful person - inside and outside.. and, her children, and now Kyle.. as he has always been the joy of our lives from the second his tiny hand wrapped around our fingers.. ..

And, now.. I know why he brought them here and how we happened to just find out they were so close to us.. - to maybe just maybe help us just a little with our grandson Kyle..

I almost cried yesterday, I was talking to Kyle about what paperwork he needed to bring with him..

And, I asked what he liked to eat - he said I'm not a picky eater Grandma - anything you make will be perfect - I said if you don't tell me - I'll just make you a whole plate of steamed broccoli - and, he said, if I can be with you - I'd eat steamed broccoli every nite.. I just want to be with you and grandpa.. I said no really give me some hints.. he said no really - anything..

He just doesn't want to ask us to do anything special for him.. he just wants to be with us.. and just kept telling us how much he loved us.. (tears here)...

[PQ]

Debilou, you made me sob. What a moving, heart wrenching post!

[stitchmich]

tears here too, Debi. You are wonderful. :hug:

[>>aruaL<<]

Awwwwww Debi, thats sooo great!!!
My parents are both very close to my children, I love it so much!! I have one grandparent left alive, and it makes me so happy to have him. He's awesome! Grandparents are awesome!!

[>>aruaL<<]

Kevin is doing boy scouts now! He joined a few weeks ago. He use to do cubs or whatever its called, but he hated it... cause the people in charge had no control or organization and the kids in the group were.... well, to put it bluntly, they were brats!

But he's loving scouts, lots of his friends are in scouts and they FINALLY convinced him to join them.

I second that!!
My three boys are really close with their grandparents also. My oldest even moved in with them when his grandfather was in the hospital 2 years ago to help them out. He has stayed while he is in college, he helps them, and they are helping him. I feel blessed to have them so close (in distance and in heart).

Oh, OH, I wish I could come to Utah!!!!

And, I asked what he liked to eat - he said I'm not a picky eater Grandma - anything you make will be perfect - I said if you don't tell me - I'll just make you a whole plate of steamed broccoli - and, he said, if I can be with you - I'd eat steamed broccoli every nite.. I just want to be with you and grandpa.. I said no really give me some hints.. he said no really - anything..

He just doesn't want to ask us to do anything special for him.. he just wants to be with us.. and just kept telling us how much he loved us.. (tears here)...

Ah...that makes me tear up too! To think, steamed broccoli! lol I'm going to mention this to my kids at dinner tonight and see what they say :D

It's great that he knows that he has a safe and loving home with you.

[>>aruaL<<]

I second that!!
My three boys are really close with their grandparents also. My oldest even moved in with them when his grandfather was in the hospital 2 years ago to help them out. He has stayed while he is in college, he helps them, and they are helping him. I feel blessed to have them so close (in distance and in heart).

Ohh thats wonderful! Such a win-win situation, how lucky he is to be able to become even closer to his grandparents! My daughter was going to attend UC of Irvine and live with my parents...but then, my "little" brother moved back home and he causes the house to be full of chaos... and not the good kind, it's lots of stress there with him living there. So DD decided she didn't want to deal with that everyday (even though she's close to my brother, she sees his faults... and doesn't want to be a part of it..lol). Bummer, woulda been great for my parents as she's veryyyyyyyyyyy close to them and it woulda been great for my checking account too! LOL!!!

[>>aruaL<<]

Here is DD's dorm room...

Off to Spread My Wings...

[sands_healy]

Oh, OH, I wish I could come to Utah!!!!

But, I have to be a mommy again.. and, it's way too soon in getting Kyle into the family to leave him..

darn..

I think a lot of things - no rephrase - I KNOW a lot of things are going to be changing in my lifestyle with Kyle living with us - ESPECIALLY since we live in a retirement area - no kids his age around us..

But, The Lord has a way of always working - we just found out about 2 months ago or so - that Keith's niece and, her son - who is just about Kyle's age moved to our area - and they are only 15 minutes from our home.

It was a total accident (a happy accident) that we found out.. and, we have already got together with them 3 times - had already planned to do Thanksgiving and Christmas with them..

Well, now Thanksgiving and Christmas will be sooo much more special..

So, Kyle will have a (guess it would be 2nd cousin) Jerod - who lives about 15 minutes from us - and they both have similar interests.. music.. and, both want to go into the music business... so, they should have something to talk about..

I just give praise to the LORD each day as HE brings the Joy of our niece into our lives - as she is such a beautiful person - inside and outside.. and, her children, and now Kyle.. as he has always been the joy of our lives from the second his tiny hand wrapped around our fingers.. ..

And, now.. I know why he brought them here and how we happened to just find out they were so close to us.. - to maybe just maybe help us just a little with our grandson Kyle..

I almost cried yesterday, I was talking to Kyle about what paperwork he needed to bring with him..

And, I asked what he liked to eat - he said I'm not a picky eater Grandma - anything you make will be perfect - I said if you don't tell me - I'll just make you a whole plate of steamed broccoli - and, he said, if I can be with you - I'd eat steamed broccoli every nite..

Wow, that is sooooo special!

[GrandmaCrys]

Can I come??? Can I? Can I? Can I?

Only if you drop by and pick me up on your way! :D ;)

What a heart-warming story, debilou. You and your DH as two VERY special people. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

When my boys were teens, I could never go wrong if I served pasta................anything! Maybe your grandson's the same! ;)

[Christine]

Can I come??? Can I? Can I? Can I?
absolutely!! When shall I pick you up from the airport?

[Christine]

Kevin is doing boy scouts now! He joined a few weeks ago. He use to do cubs or whatever its called, but he hated it... cause the people in charge had no control or organization and the kids in the group were.... well, to put it bluntly, they were brats!

But he's loving scouts, lots of his friends are in scouts and they FINALLY convinced him to join them.does he have a shirt? Make sure to check your scout shop to see if you can get that awesome deal! (Then you have more money for scrapping. :lol: )

tears here too, Debi. You are wonderful. :hug:

yep me too. Isn't it wonderful the way even the prayers that we didn't know to ask are answered by a loving Heavenly Father.

Only if you drop by and pick me up on your way! :D ;)


yep pick up Crys on your way Sands, I will pick you both up.

[>>aruaL<<]

Nope, he needs shirt and everything... for sure checking on it. Off to town right now...ahhh that long hour drive just to shop! LOL

[idtwinmom]

Wolves, Bears, Weblos so the Weblos are the 10 year olds. Do you not have a scout shop by you? I got the impression this was a scout wide thing, so you might be able to get the same deal at the local scout shop. I am happy to get them for you or since you don't need them right now, Kristie has family down here, I could hold onto them until she heads this way. As far as sizes I went BIG, my goal is to have the same shirt all the way to Eagle. LOL I had one of Lexi's teammates, try on the one I got for Zach and he is 15 and it fit fine. I got a medium for me and a large for him. I figure if I get released he can always wear the medium to begin with, plus we have Josh coming up too, so I probably will need 2 of those shirts for at least some of the time.

hmmmm... will have to have DH stop and check, but I will bet that even if they are on sale, it won't be that cheap.

[idtwinmom]

so did they get their bobcats yet? We do a fun face painting ceremony when our cubs advance.
Oh, yes, they got Bobcat before the end of the season last year. The den is small, only about 9 boys and they all got it.

Look look look!!!

Hmmmm... wonder if DH could get a loan so he could sen me. It would make a super birthday present.

Debilou, you made me sob. What a moving, heart wrenching post!

Major big tears here too!

[>>aruaL<<]

Ahhhh..... approx 135 bucks later, DS now has his scouts uniform... geesh.

[Christine]

Ahhhh..... approx 135 bucks later, DS now has his scouts uniform... geesh.

HOLY COWZA what all did you get?!!! I take it they didn't have any clearance tops. For $135 it would have been cheaper for me to get it and mail it to you!

[addicted]

Hi Ladies! I have internet again!!! :yahoo::yahoo: 6 days was a bit much, so glad to be home so I can have it back.

We had a good time, but there wasn't enough time to do everything. We got home last night and I woke up this morning to my kitchen covered in ants. :eek::eek::eek: I have been vacuuming them up, clorox wiping everything and sprayed stuff outside, but I don't like using that in the house. Now, it's an ant here and there, but not the line like this morning. Any ideas how to get rid of these dumb little guys?

[addicted]

Oh and Debi, how old is your grandson? That was a neat story!!

[debilou]

Oh and Debi, how old is your grandson? That was a neat story!!

he's 19..thanks for all of your kind thoughts.

Heather - find where they are coming in and saturate that one spot with cinnamon! If you manage to pour some directly on an ant, it makes a great science experiment, because they immediately shrival and die. Totally harmless to family and pets, but deadly for the little buggers.

[idtwinmom]

OK, my turn to ask for help. Our teacher gave me an iPod touch this morning. It's a gift for doing some work for her (which will be a breeze for me, I think). Any way, I'm trying to figure out how to sync to my calendar and can't find the info. Seems the thing does not have menus, so how to I sync to other than iTunes?

[idtwinmom]

Never mind, I found it! Had to really search because it's not on the iPod, but within iTunes that it is controlled. Now I just have to get the pass code for our WiFi and I will be in business.

[>>aruaL<<]

HOLY COWZA what all did you get?!!! I take it they didn't have any clearance tops. For $135 it would have been cheaper for me to get it and mail it to you!

I got his pants (which are shorts and pants in-one...but I think they all are?), his shirt, his patches for his shirt, his socks, his book and the cover for it, his belt.... and that is it. Can you believe that!!!!

[addicted]

Thanks Lisa, I'll give it a try! And wow for giving you a touch! It took me a minute to figure that out also. :)

[Christine]

I got his pants (which are shorts and pants in-one...but I think they all are?), his shirt, his patches for his shirt, his socks, his book and the cover for it, his belt.... and that is it. Can you believe that!!!!

oh well see that is part of it. Around here, the boys get the shirt, belt and patches. No special pants, no special socks, no fancy cover for their book. :rofl:

That is my biggest complaint about Scouts. I truly do think it is great for the boys, but the prices of lots of that stuff are outrageous! And everything is special just for them. Heaven forbid you buy embroidered numbers from the sewing/craft shop for half the price or less. nooooooooooooooooo the colors aren't quite the same, so that would never do. Maybe I just don't see where the money goes, but I don't really see how it helps the boys. Plus all of the patches, pins, belt loops, etc etc. They are a huge investment too. Our ward pays for the awards and it seriously eats up so much of the primary budget.

[sands_healy]

Oh Debi..... say Debi..... do you wanna slide over to Bejewelled and see what my score is...?????

[debilou]

Oh Debi..... say Debi..... do you wanna slide over to Bejewelled and see what my score is...?????

How could you! You are a level 35 - how many games did it take you??????

I should have never told you about replay..

darn it..

drats, I thought I had you for one week,

you couldn't give me one week of happiness, nope, not one week

shame of you for not spending quality time with your FIL!!!

Debi, I'll give you all the happiness you need, because I stink at Bejeweled and you can always beat me. I don't even understand HOW anybody can get to 300,000!

and ummm... what's replay?

[debilou]

can't say, stitch.. that's what got me into this mess.

[debilou]

loose lips, sink ships.

[suvgal]

C'mon Debi ....I need to get my score over 100,000....any help would be appreciated. I blamed it on having to play with my left hand but now I am no better with the right.

[GrandmaCrys]

And please explain to me just exactly why you Bejewelleders aren't scrapping? :eek: :annoyed: :yikes: :shocked: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I have a piece of advice for anyone who hasn't learned this lesson as yet.... and now that I have learned it, FIRST HAND, I feel like I want the world to know this AHEAD OF TIME! People told me this soooo much this past year...but I blew them off.... and NOW I *know* WHY they kept telling me this!!

Do not ever ever ever... no matter how much you wanna.... ever ever ever allow your teenager to be ROOMMATES with their "best friend". NEVER! DO NOT DO IT!!! It is by FAR the WORST idea EVER!!!!!!

Do not ever say you were not warned. LOL!!!

Yes. And serious matters too. Not lame boring things like borrowing without asking... that stuff is petty (albeit annoying.....) ... we are talking about serious serious matters!! :mad:

My daughter is going to see about changing rooms. Normally you have to wait until the next registration period, but because she's under 18, they make exceptions whenever possible for the "kids". At this point, if the 'bestfriend' keeps going at this pace, she'll be kicked out, and then we wont have to worry about any of it. :pray:

So sorry you/she are/is having to go through this, Laura. I've KNOWN this forever...but as each *set of best friends* decide to make this arrangement, they are JUST positive they will be the exception. I do not know of any exceptions! :pray: :pray: :pray: Praying that your daughter can get out of this arrangement.

Because, Sands made me, Crys.. I didn't want to .. she made me.. :help::help:

And here I was, thinking you had a will of your own! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Christine]

hey everyone. oh I am so tempted to go do bejeweled, I use to play it all the time, but dang it wastes so much time that I do NOT have. I got pretty good at it, in fact one time specifically I remember playing sooooo long on one game that I got way bored and kept hoping I would lose, but couldn't make myself stop. :rofl:

[Christine]

So, do you type with both hands? Or do you one finger it like I was?

either, if i turn it landscape, I like to use both hands, if it is vertical, I hold w/ one hand and peck w/ the other

[idtwinmom]

guess my thumbs are just too big!

[>>aruaL<<]

It's okay... it could be worse. At least it's not DD getting into trouble with the police! phew!

[GrandmaCrys]

I am a pitiful texter (long nails don't help! :yikes:); I do not know how y'all can do it - either on an elliptical or terra firma! ;)

[PQ]

because a Bejewelled game lasts one minute. (don't ask how many in a row I play though. please.)

awww, c'mon Debi! You may as well tell me because if you don't, Sandy will :D

She's so funny..... she thinks I got a high score cos I watched a replay of Lisa's game! I don't even have a clue how I managed to get such a high score... i was just plugging away and managed to get a lot of cube gems and those ones you get when you create a T or L.... and Wallah!!! 514700 was hit. Its luck of the draw I guess cos I've spend DAYS trying to get a decent score, and I mean literally days!!!

Oh No Laura.... I hope she can get things sorted out so that she can settle!

[Maggie Macpaine]

So, today I have learned not to let my children room with their besties in college (wonder how you can convince them not to if their minds are made up -- still 10 years away) and that I should not befriend sands on fb 'cause she will push my bejeweled score lower yet :).
I do not know about replay and I have NO clue how certain people can consistently have scores as high as the moon.

Laura, I hope everything works out getting your daughter's room changed.

[sands_healy]

Don't listen to them Maggie!!!

[debilou]

:rofl::lol::rofl:

Fran, I know you are my FB friend, why don't you show up on the bejeweled list?

I don't see you there at all... is it because your score it zero..

I know you play on your ipad - now that score is not listed on FB.. sorry to say..

we play the one minute version - not your play it forever version..

minute to win it, PQ..

now, Sands, has well over 500,000 in a MINUTE - i have well over 400,000 in a minute

which is a miracle because lisa carter always kicks our butts..

[debilou]

Been there, done that. I know exactly what you mean.

not in the ONE minute version...

and, I have to play until I beat sands.. she is my target..

i can't ever beat Lisa.. i don't know what she does.

[sands_healy]

not in the ONE minute version...

and, I have to play until I beat sands.. she is my target..

i can't ever beat Lisa.. i don't know what she does.

Fran already said she doesn't play bejewelled on facebook. She plays the regular one with the levels!

[debilou]

I know what she plays.. I;ve played it with her on her ipad.. lol.

But, I want her to play on FB.. chicken PQ...

[sands_healy]

I know what she plays.. I;ve played it with her on her ipad.. lol.

But, I want her to play on FB.. chicken PQ...

I didn't Sands..

I was giving her a hard time.. so that maybe she would play with us..

[sands_healy]

I didn't Sands..

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: So you can beat her????

[sands_healy]

Oh BTW Debs... when I scored that high score I had 3 power thingies selected. The extra time one, the special gem one and the switch one.... but it took me several goes before it finally gave me a good score.... I think I used about 200 000 coins before getting it.

[debilou]

But, did you use the moon gem??? that has never worked for me - that 25,000 point one???


I've used 300,000 trying to beat you... I'm an addict ok... I'm begging for points

my husband got another million point spin yesterday - that's his 3rd one.. .how does he do it.. I think bejeweled feels sorry for him.. and, i'm his only FB friend playing - he does share with me - but it only gives me 5ooo of those stupid million points.. darn it..

I think you should be able to transfer to your spouse - we live in a community property state - what's his is MINE! right?

i must have his points.. I must.. I just have to figure out a way to steal his points

or anyone's points.. but I refuse to buy points with my credit card.. but i'm getting desperate for points..

300,000 points wasted this week, AFTER i got 442,000...

drats.

[sands_healy]

I never collect the moon gems cos I could never find how they benefitted me.

[debilou]

I never collect the moon gems cos I could never find how they benefitted me.

me either - and they cost me 25,000 points.. that's way too many.. can't waste points

[Maggie Macpaine]

Awww....but that rapid explosion is soooooo soothing.

[debilou]

Oh, but Sands - I'm on issue 66 - what issue are you on in your DESERTED part of the world? I'm learning way cool stuff - need any brushes???

[GrandmaCrys]

Not a sign of Gundi and all talk about bejewelled. How some gem-type worm taken over the *Chatting with Gundi* thread? :eek: :eek: :yikes: :yikes:

which is a miracle because lisa carter always kicks our butts..

I play while I am at the gym......I can't play on line there because there is no wireless connection. I don't usually play at any other time of day because I don't want it to monopolize my life. (And it would, too.)

[PQ]

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: So how come you're looking for her score on FB then?

Yeah, Debilou........how come you are looking for my score on Facebook? (Can I have some of whatever it is you are smoking?)

I like the switchy/mix 'em up, the special gem or the x2 bonus things. I've never used the extra time one, didn't seem like 5 seconds would do me enough good. Does it? And I've tried the explode the special gems one, but it didn't seem very useful either. I've never broken 300,000 and the best bonus spin I've gotten was 100,000 bonus points, just once. Ya'll can have lots of fun beating me :p

[addicted]

I guess I might have to try out Bejeweled! You have all sold me on it.

Laura, hope it all works out with your daughter and her friend. So I will remember your advice in 8 years.

The kids are home for their 2 week fall break and they are driving me crazy. UT was fine because they have a lot more room to run, but not here. I only have to wait until Wednesday and then I'm off to Orlando. I can't wait to get away!!! :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Tuesday I'm taking the kids to Disneyland so they can get out all there energy and be good for the sitter while I'm gone.

[sands_healy]

Oh, but Sands - I'm on issue 66 - what issue are you on in your DESERTED part of the world? I'm learning way cool stuff - need any brushes???

Oh if I managed to find a copy, you can bet it would probably be issue 59 without a disc!

[Christine]

la la la can't hear you all about bejeweled. I must resist, do not be tempted, do NOT do it! Sounds like lots of fun though :)

It is General Conference this weekend for the LDS church so we watched that most of the day. (There are 2 sessions 10-12 and 2-4 on both Sat and Sun) Hence my absence today...for some reason I find it difficult to chat/forum hop AND listen at the same time. LOL

[GrandmaCrys]

Those are probably the ONLY things you cannot do at the same time! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[>>aruaL<<]

We went to a wedding yesterday... the son of my very best friend. My two children received a front row seat to why it's stupid to excessively drink. Reception ended nearly 3 hours early, with the arrival of paramedics.

Oh, and the vows were the absolute shortest I've ever seen in my life. Even Vegas vows/weddings are longer than this one was. The minister doing the wedding went blank apparently, it was only his second wedding, and he totally skipped everything in the vows. The only part he did was the "do you take XX to be your wife/husband". they said "i do" he said "you may kiss the bride". They were up there for less than 2 minutes and I am absolutely NOT joking. I was horrified for them. He forgot all the "repeat after me" stuff... well, he forgot nearly everything!!

we realized immediatly after, they didn't even exchange rings! he forgot to have them do that too! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... ugh.

So they did it in the parking lot. ... sad.

I'm going to ditto this! We went through all this fuss getting just the right rings, DH lost his on our honeymoon (and, no, I was never mad at him, he felt bad enough as it was) and I have not worn mine since getting pregnant for the boys. Don't think it would fit and it's not worth the money to resize it.

[idtwinmom]

Well, I tried all day yesterday to get on here with the iPod. Everyone else in the room seemed able, but for some reason I just could not go anywhere on the net. I was in a class on teaching the classics with the Socratic method. Much more interesting than it sounds. If you ever want to get your kids really involved in a book discussion this guy was great. His name is Adam Andrews and he has a web site, just PM me. DH really enjoyed him too. Looks like I didn't miss that much really, just a lot of Bejeweled (which I refuse to even look at! :lol:).

[Maggie Macpaine]

Ah, the ants are a NIGHTMARE here. Apparently, our city is built on an ant hill and not matter what we do, the next morning they find another way in. Everyone has told us to just get a exterminator and I'm almost ready. Seriously, I've never seen this many ants in all my life put together. :(

We watched conference all weekend also and had company because unlike UT, where it's on a local channel, not here so not everyone gets it. So I had to keep the house clean all weekend and fix extra food, but we had fun!

I'm so excited :yahoo: I'm leaving for Orlando in 2 days. I haven't seen my friend, that I'm going with, in 8 months. No kids, just me, they can all live with the ants here for a few days :rofl: and I get to play!

Laura, that is pretty crappy about the wedding. I hope they aren't too upset about it and just realize there isn't a lot that can be done now.

[ReneT]

Hello Gundi Girls!!!! Sorry I haven't been around in a week. I had a hideous migraine that last for a week after we got back from Adobe. Ugh! It's better now, but I'm so far behind on everything. Double Ugh!!!! I miss you guys!

yeah you get pretty spoiled here, having conference readily available. So I was thinking, is it live elsewhere, ie not the standard 10-12 and 2-4? or do they tape delay it or something. Wonder what they do in China or something.

It was live here, actually kinda nice starting at 9 and being done at 3! Not sure that would work other places though. :) Great job on getting caught up to 2004 :rofl:. Not sure if I'll ever even get that far!

[Christine]

woot woot you know it girl! :D

so today I was FREAKING OUT! Yesterday I took Lexi to take some portraits, which btw I need to post cuz some of them are quite awesome if I do say so myself. LOL ANNNNNYYYYWAYYYY

I got home and start looking at them and there is this teeeeeny horizontal line on EVERY picture after a certain photo. I can easily fix it in PS but why, why why is there a line there. I swapped out 3 lenses at home, shot, shot everyone had the line. Finally went to bed cuz I had to be up in 6 hours but I was way upset. So today I took out lens, card, and battery, replaced them, tried a different battery, took it to a camera shop, they looked at it, couldn't see any dirt, hairs whatever on the sensor, reset the camera, updated the firmware and NONE of it worked.....totally freaking out by this point. The guy was SUPER nice and didn't charge me a cent and told me that he thought my sensor was going bad. They don't do repairs so I know he wasn't just trying to get my money and in fact told me straight out that cleaning it (which they DO do) would be a waste, that wasn't going to fix it.

Called Nikon, they had me reset the camera in the menu and then push and hold the 2 green dot buttons on top until it flashed and it WORKED! At least, so far, I can't see the line. tried w/ flash, w/o flash, rapid fire, auto, manual and 2 different lenses. YAY!

[Christine]

Rene migraines are miserable, hope you got this one knocked out for a LONG time.

Yay Chris! I hope it's all better! Emily wants me to take her senior pics this weekend! I'm all stressed out!

Oh I'm so relieved they managed to sort it out for you! Isn't it awesome that you can just get on the phone and call them? For me that would not be an option!

[sands_healy]

Laura I meant to comment on the wedding fiasco.

Very sad that he didn't have a backup minister (or whatever he is in your religion) guiding him through the steps! I always get so annoyed when people see weddings as a time to binge drink and make it bad for the rest of the guests. So sorry it turned out like that.

Are you serious?!! I can't believe that! Especially since she begged and pleaded. Well if I get my rear in gear, maybe I can get mine ones of Lex posted before then and they might help give you ideas. I took almost 400 shots, got that down to 120 after getting rid of blinkers, duplicate shots etc. I swear that girl blinks a LOT, so I just hold down the rapid fire and shoot off several at once. LOL The wind picked up and was blowing soooo hard, I have a couple of fun ones where her hair is just all wild. :lol: I told her I am going to try to pick out the best 30 or 40, but I don't know how I am going to manage that. Somehow though I don't think I will be scrapping 120 pics all taken on the same day of the same child. ;)

Yeah, it was kind of embarrassing that she chose the other photo. And hurt my feelings. I spent hours and hours working on those photos. Oh well, what do you do? Oh and another thing that happened: while I was at Adobe, apparently Lindsey's mom texted Gary to see if he would bring her a check to pay for Lindsey's wedding shoes that she wanted to get when she picked up her dress from the bridal shop after it was altered. Seriously? You can't write a check for $60 for shoes? Gary told her no, that I handle the money. :D:D

[>>aruaL<<]

weddings can be such a time of joy... but they sure can be a time of frustration too!!

Rene, I'm sorry your feelings were hurt by her picking her friends photo instead. I would have been hurt too if I was in your shoes. *hugs*

weddings can be such a time of joy... but they sure can be a time of frustration too!!

Yeah, no kidding. Sometimes (okay, if I'm being honest, ALL THE TIME) it seems like I am only invited to the wedding planning stuff when there is a check that needs to be written. :(

Ouch, I get those.. hope you are all better..

what causes your's - change in climate.. allergies?

mine are caused by - whatever! who knows..

Mostly they are caused by stress and lack of sleep, which is not good since I suffer from serious insomnia, and I only slept about 2 hours the whole time I was in California, so I knew it was coming when I got back. I finally had to take some pain meds, but those make me so sick at my stomach that it's almost not worth it.:rolleyes:

You'll do fantastic!!!!

Thanks, I'm surfing the internet for pose ideas.

[idtwinmom]

Rene - glad you are feeling better! I've had some pretty bad headaches in the last few years, but none of them compares to a true migraine (I've had friends who had them). I really feel for anyone who suffers that way. You will do great on the photos too! (Remember on the photos that weren't chosen, there may have been some influence from her mother too.)

Chris - sure hope that your camera stays fixed. What a bummer to have the sensor go bad, especially since the camera isn't even that old.

Not much new here. Just trying to keep up with school, chores, find as many good educational podcasts as possible, etc..., etc..., etc....

that is the TRUTH.. no one understands what a step mother does

UNLESS you are one!!!

Lisa has a good point about the influence. What do you think, is it worth mentioning to her? Maybe you could say something like I am trying to improve so was there something specific you didn't like?

I don't know if it's worth it or not. After she had begged me to do the photos, I read on Facebook that her friend was coming to take some photos of them the weekend before I was supposed, so I talked to Gary about it. He asked her about it and she said that her friend had gotten a new camera and was wanting to play with it, but that the photos I took were going to be the "official" engagement photos. Then later I got a message from her about the cost of the engagement announcements, but she never sent me the proof to look at. I had to ask her several times to send it to me so I could see it, so when she did, that's when I saw that she chose her friend's photo. I mean it's an OK photo, but looks more like a snapshot to me, straight out of the camera.

[Christine]

so what did Gary say about the whole thing?

[ReneT]

so what did Gary say about the whole thing?

He said he would talk to her if I wanted him to, but I told him no. I think my biggest problem with saying anything about stuff like this is that I'm afraid they'll tell their mom that I'm upset and she would get too much satisfaction out of that and then I would be even more embarrassed! KWIM?

[Maggie Macpaine]

They reset Bejeweled scores today. Maybe I can beat Debilou :pray::pray::pray:

[Christine]

yep I do. Wonder if he could just bring it up really casual, not that you are upset etc.

[GrandmaCrys]

[ReneT]

Yes it is!!!!!

[Christine]

Dang it took me forever today to get my kit in the store. It was like do a little packaging, go get kids, do a little more, do scouts, do a bit more, get dinner organized, finally get it in, go to the play. :rofl: I still have an alpha and another kit, to get in the store, but I doubt it will happen tonight, as I am so tired.

The play was awesome though. The show was the Drowsy Chaperon. Anybody else seen that before? I hadn't ever heard of it, but it was quite funny and very entertaining. The theater we go to is "theater in the round" so the stage is quite small and there are only 9 rows, so sometimes they adapt the original to fit the constraints of the theater. I am not sure if this was the same way the story goes normally. Our's was a musical theater production, within a play about a guy that loves said production. If anybody else has seen it, is this the same? At any rate they did a super job. A couple of shows ago, our friends went with us and it was so funny. They are used to going to plays at the Capitol Theater, which is a traditional stage, huge auditorium kind of thing. Art brought his binoculars cuz he is used to being way far away from the stage etc. :rofl: I was kinda looking at him thinking why do you need those? I think he was on the 4th row. LOL

[ReneT]

No I've never heard of that! Sounds fun though! I love musicals. We have Fiddler on the Roof later this month for our first show of the season. I've never seen that, so I think it will be fun.

[Maggie Macpaine]

I haven't heard of it either. Sounds interesting

[>>aruaL<<]

I haven't heard of it either!

Loving the ORANGE... okay, KINDA ORANGE... lol... kit. :-)

[debilou]

Orange is OK as long as it's not dirty Longhorn orange!!!!! :D

Oh, first you won't come visit me.. then.. you hurt my feelings..

I don't know if are BFF's any more.. :cry::cry::cry:

[debilou]

Don't say poop!

It must have been the word of the day..

my maids said I looked like it... (I won't repeat the word - Stitch would, but you see I'm a good girl.. so, I don't talk like that!).
