For all the Grandmas out there!!

[Teresa]

Just saw Michael Jackson on the news announcing new concerts. Bizarre!!!!

That is weird. I'm sure they will get cancelled.

[Teresa]

This joke was titled "Retirement at Walmart" (Donn loved walmart he would have laughed his ass off at this joke so I had to share it with all of you instead

Unfortunately, as I have gotten older, I have become a little less
sensitive.

So, after trying my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, last weekend (a good
find for many retirees), I lasted less than a day......

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, coyote ugly,
nasty woman walked into the store with her two kids,
yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning, and welcome
to
Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'

The ugly, nasty woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no,
they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell
would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'

So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am. I just find it hard
to believe you got laid twice.
Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.'

My 25 year old supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of
work........ soooo maybe I'll go fishing.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Teresa]

NO WAY!!!! Will she date some biker dude... now that she broke up with Ken?

What has this world come too???

[Teresa]

I'm not looking forward to mine (still have 2 years to go, God-willing :pray: ) as I've gone down 2 cup sizes since Morgan weaned in 2007!! :eek: Maybe by the time it's my turn, they'll have machines rated for A, B, C...etc. etc. etc. ???? :rolleyes:




I am so tiny that I do not even waist money on bras unless they come with their own "rack". Let me assure you, they work with what ever you bring them.

[Teresa]

All I know is that I'm tired of the mood slumps, tired of the anxiousness, tired of the smallest thing setting me off, and tired of being TIRED all the time. I went to bed before 9:00pm last night, and when some noise woke me up at 3:45am this morning, I could not fall back asleep for the life of me. I tossed, turned and fretted for an hour before I just gave up. Today is going to be a really long day. :(

You are not alone, hun.:hug:

Anxiety is a regular part of many days for me. Waking in the middle of the night only to spend an hour worrying about stupid stuff happens quite a bit as well.

Sorry, I have no suggestions for you just support.

I do seem to be getting better though.

[Teresa]

SOOOOOO I am just home from having dinner with essee and ebears and I am telling tales ebears didnt bring me any home made bread heheheheheheh but we did have a delicious seafood meal and wicked desserts.


Pictures!!!! We want pictures.

[Teresa]

Wow- Slow night on the granny forum. I got through from where I left off last night and it's not even time for the bus.

I was a HUGE fan of westerns, still am. My favorite movie of all time is The Sons of Katie Elder, especially the music! Bonanza, Wagon Trail, Zorro, Laramie, Virginian, Big Valley, Branded, Maverick, Rifleman, Sky King, more recently Lonesome Dove has become my favorite (Fantastic!).


OMG!! I LOVE THOSE!!!! I could almost fall asleep on them! Last time I went to a Chiro, he didn't offer "the table" so I asked for it, just cuz it feels SO good!!!


I loved the Big Valley and my brother never ever missed the Riffle man...My all time favorite , I could watch it over and over, to die for western movie.......
TOMBSTONE!

As a teen it was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid with Robert Redford and Paul Newman... Sigh......


And the roller table is offered everytime at my Chiro:D.. Can you believe some people don't like them :shocked:....


Look at that shark, hey? Two bigger ones got away - they caught a tiddler, well inside the harbour. 20 meters off the shore. 2.8 metres bull shark. Caught it, tagged it, released it. They said they caught one that was massive, but it unhooked itself. Channel 9 news. fascinating.

Whoa, and there's a surfski going over the top of a huge hammerhead. Crikey - what a beaut report!

I seem to be going through another hormonal upheaval. I remember MamaPQ saying something about soy...I think I'm going to do a little research on supplements that cover all my symptoms. My Mama takes a supplement called Gyna-vite, it's supposed to be for peri-menopause, and I seem to be having a few of those symptoms myself, so I wonder if it would work for me? All I know is that I'm tired of the mood slumps, tired of the anxiousness, tired of the smallest thing setting me off, and tired of being TIRED all the time. I went to bed before 9:00pm last night, and when some noise woke me up at 3:45am this morning, I could not fall back asleep for the life of me.

Extra :hug:'s little Momma.... Been there done that...My oldest DD is about the same as you.. She has been try to make sure she gets at least 30 mins worth of some kind of exercise in her day.. At home Yoga or a walk or just dancing around with the kids... She says it helping..

FIND INNER PEACE

I know that we're all feeling rather stressed out right now and trying to
keep our heads above water. It's manifesting itself in folks getting sick
and just generally feeling overwhelmed.....

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could all
use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice I heard
on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace.

Dr. Phil proclaimed, 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the
things you have started and have never finished.'

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't
finished. Before leaving for work this morning, I finished off a bottle of
White Zinfandel, a bottle of vodka, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my
old Vicodin prescription, the rest of the cheesecake and a box of
chocolates.

You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now



Please pass this on to those whom you think might be in need of a little
inner peace.

Another night I've sworn I'm going to bed early, and yet here I still am, just finishing up a layout. I have got to figure out a way to step back from the computer and go to bed. Sleeping is NOT my problem. Getting into bed is my downfall; there always *just one more thing to do*! :annoyed: :annoyed: :annoyed: :annoyed:

I would never go in anything but a backyard pool if I heard this on our news. Knock wood, there are never shark sightings on the New Jersey shore or in our rivers. Last year there was a little whale that swam all the way up the river to Trenton but they urned it around.

I just LOVED Petticoat Junction. I must look and see if they've released any more seasons apart from the first, on DVD. Oh and I really loved Gidget, and Patty Duke and My Three Sons.

I couldn't help myself, when I saw Michael announcing his London concert, I said, Who's a pretty girl, then? Oh dear.

I loved his music back when...

I loveed these shows, especially Patty Duke.

It looks fabulous - wonder if I can find something similar in CS3 Did it come with your XP or Vista?

I used soy "nuts" for years to control hormonal issues... I ate a handful or two a day - I got them roasted at Trader Joe's in California (wish we add them here..)

Also, I would sometimes steam soy pods (looks kind of like pea pods) got them in large bags at Costco... You steam the whole pod, but you just eat the inside soy..

They are pretty good... and, kept me off hormone meds for years... But after about 4 - 5 years... my body said ACK!! you need more.. but it worked for a long time.

A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, USA , they decided to send it to the President. The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill, which the president thought would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:

Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. I see that you sent it through Washington DC, though, and I think you should know that those crooks took $95.00 in taxes.

Ohhhhhhhhh, Now I can't remember what we wanted him for...:cry::cry::cry:

[lindyroz]

A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, USA , they decided to send it to the President. The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill, which the president thought would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:

Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. I see that you sent it through Washington DC, though, and I think you should know that those crooks took $95.00 in taxes.

Just saw Michael Jackson on the news announcing new concerts. Bizarre!!!!

I couldn't help myself, when I saw Michael announcing his London concert, I said, Who's a pretty girl, then? Oh dear. I loved his music back when...

He used to be so cute and so talented, now he looks tragic.

Vallie, what I found bizarre about that news conference was the reaction of all the male fans -- like a bunch of teenaged girls about to swoon. Oh my. :shocked: (And I've never been the swooning type so may sound a bit judgmental there. :o)

He was such a handsome kid, wasn't he? I think his plastic surgeon is as morally guilty as the "octo-mom's" fertility doctor is. Such a dangerous line to cross making legal decisions about things like that, though.

[omio]

Fish Fry was fun today again. I didn't get into any wine tonight though. The one other trouble maker was not there. Even the priest noted that. I told him that it was all the other one. Blame it one the one who wasn't there.

I was up there at lunch with the grannies again to set up and got to eat my onion rings. Yum Yum.

Tonight we served up over 700 dinners. I'm plumb tuckered out.

My mammogram story made the rounds with and was a hit of course.

Too bad there's not chat tonight. I'm too tired to do anything but chat.

The man-child went to hang with his mother one last time in the house he grew up in. She will move this week for the new job and let the house go. It's rough.

Our son is hanging with the neighbors tonight. I think I might just find the time to finish up those extra items for that new kit tomorrow morning. I loaded it into the back room of the store today and hopefully it will be out tomorrow. It really is a cute one.

Ineke requested a how to on a B&W effect that I did on DGD's photo; so here it is:

Artistic Black & White - I got this from a Corey Barker Photoshop class.

1. Open your color image
2. Apply a gradient map adjustment layer - Black to white. This will make your 1st B&W image.
3. Shift, control, alt & E to copy B&W image to a new layer on top.
4. Select all - control A and Copy, control c
5. Open a new doc, cntrl N
6. paste B&W image into the new document
7. Image - mode- greyscale on new B&W doc.
8. Image - mode - duotone - quadtone - look for pantone with the following settings
B1 541-513-5773. Then click OK - this will make your photo a rich olive color.
9. Select all and copy the new document.
10. You can now close and discard the second doc - make sure you copied it.
11. Go back to original document and paste.
12. When printed use color setting to preserve the rich olive shades.

**This is my note: some portraits may be darker than you like with this technique, especially if there is much shading on the face. My DGD has deep set eyes & she gets dark shadows under her eyes in some photos. Here's what I did to fix: I selected just her face, made a copy set that layer to screen. Adjusted the opacity until I liked the look added a mask and used a soft brush to blend the selection edges.

I think it makes a great looking B&W image. Give it a try.

Hugs,

Robbie

I LOVE Irish Soda Bread! Yummy yum yum!

It looks like something spewed up by a volcano! :lol: Bet it tastes good though and smells good. I used to make bread years ago. A couple of times I made this Russian black bread (it had molasses in it). It was so delicious. It's a lot of muscle work to make it by hand these days. And no one here appreciates it! :(

I hope Mara has a thick skin!!! Her poor loaf of bread has been likened to buffalo cakes, lava and some sort of growth! :rolleyes:;):D

let me show you how I consumed some of it today :)

My cousins and I also loved that show, we used to fight over who got to be Paladin.
Not great looking but just too cool, loved the outfit.:lol: We acted out everything we saw. Had many sword fighting injuries as a child. I'm not sure how we survived I remember many days of jumping off of Grandpa's barn with towels pinned around our necks. We could FLY!!!

This joke was titled "Retirement at Walmart" (Donn loved walmart he would have laughed his ass off at this joke so I had to share it with all of you instead

Unfortunately, as I have gotten older, I have become a little less
sensitive.

So, after trying my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, last weekend (a good
find for many retirees), I lasted less than a day......

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, coyote ugly,
nasty woman walked into the store with her two kids,
yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning, and welcome
to
Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'

The ugly, nasty woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no,
they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell
would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'

So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am. I just find it hard
to believe you got laid twice.
Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.'

My 25 year old supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of
work........ soooo maybe I'll go fishing.

This has always been one of my favs.:rofl::rofl:

It looks fabulous - wonder if I can find something similar in CS3

Oh dear!

So I defrost a teeny tiny tub of stew and get a bowl and add scone mix that has had milk stirred into into so it turns into dumplings to put on top...

Giancarlo walks in, grunts and wants some too - so I look in the freezer and find another brown looking tub, defrost it, make more dumpling mixture in 10 seconds flat, and pop each bowl in the microwave for two minutes.

So, I'm eating mine, tiny bits of veal, small bits of carrots and potatoes, all bound together in a pureed musroom sauce, with gravy stock mixed in. Did I mention the bits of bacon crumbled through it?

So, Giancarlo is bitchin' while he eats his...

I work out AFTERWARDS, that his "stew" was just a frozen container of the pureed mushroom sauce. Um, with the dumplings on top. Oh dear.

FIND INNER PEACE

I know that we're all feeling rather stressed out right now and trying to
keep our heads above water. It's manifesting itself in folks getting sick
and just generally feeling overwhelmed.....

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could all
use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice I heard
on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace.

Dr. Phil proclaimed, 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the
things you have started and have never finished.'

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't
finished. Before leaving for work this morning, I finished off a bottle of
White Zinfandel, a bottle of vodka, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my
old Vicodin prescription, the rest of the cheesecake and a box of
chocolates.

You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now



Please pass this on to those whom you think might be in need of a little
inner peace.

You and my sister are on the same road to inner peace, she sent this to me the other day. :rofl:

So I did this layout of Andrew, which I never really loved because I thought his skin looked bad. But his skin does not look like that in real life, so I got the bright idea this morning to apply the noiseware filter to the entire layout.......here is the result -

DBJ;

Went to the doctor for my yearly physical.

The nurse starts with certain basics.

How much do you weigh?' she asks. '135,' I say.
The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 180.
The nurse asks, 'Your height?' '5 foot 4,' I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5'2'.
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
'Of course it's high!' I scream, 'When I came in here I was tall and
slender! Now I'm short and fat!'
She put me on Prozac. What a b**ch.

[RobbieR]

A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, USA , they decided to send it to the President. The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill, which the president thought would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:

Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. I see that you sent it through Washington DC, though, and I think you should know that those crooks took $95.00 in taxes.


They would if they got the chance.:rofl:

DBJ;

Went to the doctor for my yearly physical.

The nurse starts with certain basics.

How much do you weigh?' she asks. '135,' I say.
The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 180.
The nurse asks, 'Your height?' '5 foot 4,' I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5'2'.
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
'Of course it's high!' I scream, 'When I came in here I was tall and
slender! Now I'm short and fat!'
She put me on Prozac. What a b**ch.

That's why I don't like to go to the doctor, the same thing happens to me. Darn!:(

Your siggie looks gorgeous with all your layouts EG!!! Booooootiffuuuuulllllll!!!

[hoozieg]

It looks fabulous - wonder if I can find something similar in CS3

This sounds like the Dark Strokes or Sumi-e filter in CS3. Try those and see if they work for you.

.....
I seem to be going through another hormonal upheaval. I remember MamaPQ saying something about soy...I think I'm going to do a little research on supplements that cover all my symptoms. My Mama takes a supplement called Gyna-vite, it's supposed to be for peri-menopause, and I seem to be having a few of those symptoms myself, so I wonder if it would work for me? All I know is that I'm tired of the mood slumps, tired of the anxiousness, tired of the smallest thing setting me off, and tired of being TIRED all the time. I went to bed before 9:00pm last night, and when some noise woke me up at 3:45am this morning, I could not fall back asleep for the life of me. I tossed, turned and fretted for an hour before I just gave up. Today is going to be a really long day. :(

This sounds EXACTLY like my menopause symptoms! I remember them well! Add hot flashes/power surges 10-15 times a day and you got it. I tried the soy supplements and they helped, but only slightly. I finally talked to my OB-GYN and she put me on Premarin. I LOVED the first 3 weeks (mostly estrogen) - all my symptoms disappeared! However, the 4th week (mostly progesterone) was a nightmare! Everything swung the other way - I felt awful. So they put me on just estrogen with the addition of a little progesterone at the end of the month - that worked MUCH better! I was on that for several years, but then developed hyperplasia (overgrowth of the endometrium) causing huge periods lasting 2-3 weeks. I knew where every bathroom in Disney World was and ruined several pairs of underwear on that vacation! This is caused by estrogen, so I had to quit taking it and suffer through all of it! Did not like that AT ALL!

Nowadays you have to weigh all the risks that go along with Hormone therapy, but if I could have I would have stayed on it a few more years. Now I have occasional hot flashes and still lots of insomnia, but I feel like it's coming to an end finally after 11 years! I got other medicine for the moods and sleeping that helped a bit with the hot flashes too. Go talk to your doctor and see what will work for you.

......
I am SOOOO glad the whiner did not make it in the extra round.

Oh I agree! She DOES have a great voice, but the dramatics! Geez! She must have split personality or something! Acts different every time!

I could do this all night.

:rofl: This is so funny cuz I did the exact same thing! Wasted the whole afternoon looking for western theme songs on YouTube.

Did you know that I SAW Clint Walker (Cheyenne), in PERSON, when I was about 12 yrs old?!!! We were on a trip to Monument Valley on spring break. We went to visit my Uncle in Mesa AZ every spring break, so we were all over the SW. We came across a movie being filmed out in the middle of nowhere and stopped to watch. It was so hot, my feet were burning through my tennis shoes on the rocks. The crew was under a canopy in the shade and saw me dancing - holding one foot in the air to cool it, then the other. They invited us over to get out of the sun and off the baking rocks. Nice! So a few minutes later, I see this man come up over the top of a rock with a camera around his neck...shirtless...muscles...glistening with sweat.....it was Clint Walker! Cheyenne Bodie! I'll never, ever forget that moment! His face was not overly handsome, but he had a body to die for!!! For years I looked for a movie with that scene in it - I'm not sure it was ever released because I never found one with him in it filmed in that location.

[hoozieg]

JenniLynn - thanks for drawing us over into the chat room. That was a whole lotta fun!! :love3::hug:

My idea of a really relaxing time, is to drive down to sleepy Batemans Bay, nestled into the coast, just two hours from home.

[omio]

Thanks a lot - THANKS A LOT!!!! I just spent an hour of my life looking at theme songs from all the things I watched as a child. I have serious 'shiny thing' issues going on. I can't help it... I keep thinking of another show and looking it up. You are bad bad bad!!

(oh, thank you, though :D)

haha if you are English and in your 50s you might remember these:

So funny about all of the western tv and movies. DD called tonight, was working on a slide show, and said she had a trivia question. She made a little sound, asked what show it was from. DH and I knew what she meant immediately, thought it was one of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns and DH decided it was "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." I had the GT open when she called, said "I can find it" and opened one of the links. Took about 10 seconds to find it. Boy, was DD ever impressed!!!!!!!! :rofl:

[omio]

My cousins and I also loved that show, we used to fight over who got to be Paladin.
Not great looking but just too cool, loved the outfit.:lol: We acted out everything we saw. Had many sword fighting injuries as a child. I'm not sure how we survived I remember many days of jumping off of Grandpa's barn with towels pinned around our necks. We could FLY!!!

DH and I were talking about stuff like this at dinner. Last night's tv news had a story about a kid who took some mercury to school. A hazmat crew was called, lots of fire engines, the classroom and all the kids were decontaminated, etc. Yes, I know it's a dangerous substance, but DH and I started talking about all the times we and our friends broke thermometers so we could play with the mercury and a toothpick.

And shall we talk about bb guns, pen knives, running behind the mosquito abatement trucks, grabbing onto car bumpers when we were wearing skates or the roads were icy, riding in the back of open pickup trucks on the highways, wood burning kits, lawn darts, unsupervised fireworks and umpteen other things that would create hysteria in this day and time?

Yes, how HAVE we all survived this long? :doh: :lol:

Ineke requested a how to on a B&W effect that I did on DGD's photo; so here it is:

Artistic Black & White - I got this from a Corey Barker Photoshop class.

1. Open your color image
2. Apply a gradient map adjustment layer - Black to white. This will make your 1st B&W image.
3. Shift, control, alt & E to copy B&W image to a new layer on top.
4. Select all - control A and Copy, control c
5. Open a new doc, cntrl N
6. paste B&W image into the new document
7. Image - mode- greyscale on new B&W doc.
8. Image - mode - duotone - quadtone - look for pantone with the following settings
B1 541-513-5773. Then click OK - this will make your photo a rich olive color.
9. Select all and copy the new document.
10. You can now close and discard the second doc - make sure you copied it.
11. Go back to original document and paste.
12. When printed use color setting to preserve the rich olive shades.

**This is my note: some portraits may be darker than you like with this technique, especially if there is much shading on the face. My DGD has deep set eyes & she gets dark shadows under her eyes in some photos. Here's what I did to fix: I selected just her face, made a copy set that layer to screen. Adjusted the opacity until I liked the look added a mask and used a soft brush to blend the selection edges.

I think it makes a great looking B&W image. Give it a try.

Hugs,

Robbie

Thanks, I'll give this a try... love new b & w techniques..

Oh, Bendi, I am soooo jealous!

[Teresa]

Oh dear!

So I defrost a teeny tiny tub of stew and get a bowl and add scone mix that has had milk stirred into into so it turns into dumplings to put on top...

Giancarlo walks in, grunts and wants some too - so I look in the freezer and find another brown looking tub, defrost it, make more dumpling mixture in 10 seconds flat, and pop each bowl in the microwave for two minutes.

So, I'm eating mine, tiny bits of veal, small bits of carrots and potatoes, all bound together in a pureed musroom sauce, with gravy stock mixed in. Did I mention the bits of bacon crumbled through it?

So, Giancarlo is bitchin' while he eats his...

I work out AFTERWARDS, that his "stew" was just a frozen container of the pureed mushroom sauce. Um, with the dumplings on top. Oh dear.

*snorkle* *chorkle* *chortle*....

DBJ;

Went to the doctor for my yearly physical.

The nurse starts with certain basics.

How much do you weigh?' she asks. '135,' I say.
The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 180.
The nurse asks, 'Your height?' '5 foot 4,' I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5'2'.
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
'Of course it's high!' I scream, 'When I came in here I was tall and
slender! Now I'm short and fat!'
She put me on Prozac. What a b**ch.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

WICKED chat going on in the chat room - all the cool people are there! :cool:

I can't believe I was asleep on the couch and missed this. I would have LOVED to come!!!:cry:

Oh my gosh - that was some FANTASTIC chat! Wonderful company. ;)

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Ooops! Sorry I missed this, my light might have been on but nobody was home:D


You and me both Jill. Cry with me now...:cry::cry:

I went to the chat. But had to leave and get the washing in and get ready for work! I have to leave in about 40 minutes. Drat!!
Beautiful autumn day here, hope it continues.

We had a beautiful spring day. It was warmer outside than in the house and so sunny. I opened both french doors to my bedroom and took an nap on the bed. The dog thought it was fantastic to be able to run in an out to her hearts content but in the end, ended up on the bed with me.

Today it is chilly and rainy. Yuck.

JenniLynn - thanks for drawing us over into the chat room. That was a whole lotta fun!! :love3::hug:

Again....:cry::cry::cry:



And shall we talk about bb guns, pen knives, running behind the mosquito abatement trucks, grabbing onto car bumpers when we were wearing skates or the roads were icy, riding in the back of open pickup trucks on the highways, wood burning kits, lawn darts, unsupervised fireworks and umpteen other things that would create hysteria in this day and time?

Yes, how HAVE we all survived this long? :doh: :lol:

Sounds like a camping trip with my husband and his buddies...still. Those lawn darts and the unsupervised fireworks. Do you know what 40 year men do with fire works when they are unsupervised.:eek:

Just got a good quote from a friend: “There are some days when no matter what I say it feels like I'm far away in another country & whoever is doing the translating has had far too much to drink.”

I think I want to post this on the fridge.

I cant believe it - for the first time ever I have the whole evening to myself and could go out without feeling any guilt because Ryan is out and hubby is in Sydney - I had a dance all lined to go to and then I woke up this morning with a sore throat and the shivers - wouldnt it rock your socks - now I am stuck at home alone feeling miserable:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

:cry:Oh, that's awful.

Dang, now I can't remember what this one was to comment on it!

Goodmorning! Drove 300 miles yesterday after driving from Galesburg to St. Louis and flying to Harlingen and driving to South Padre Island the day before. Dinner with friends last night, gig this afternoon and Scamp is coming to the gig!!!

No time to even begin catching up. We have three sets of out of state friends in town and lots to do.

Hugs to all who need them! And to everyone else, too!

Glad you popped in Karen.

[Teresa]

The man-child is with his mother and the child is next door with the neighbors still. DH and I are having a very nice morning. Me on my computer chatting with you all. Him on his computer looking at cars. He looks so handsome sitting across from me at the kitchen table with the glow of the computer screen on his face.

Pretty pathetic isn't it??

[Teresa]

The chat room shows that LauraLoub is logged in. So I log in there to chat with her but she won't talk to me. Then I come back here and her light is out. I'm so sad.

[Teresa]

What's that????

I found a freebie in the basement????

Yes I did!


Better come through Woodsy's Magic Door and get it!!

[carti]

I have had many mammograms in my life and I heard about Thermograms. I thought there should be something else that would be just as good or better than having to go through the pain of squishing our breasts. Anyway, read below:
Insurance companies right now are not paying for this, I wonder why? if we women complained more and stop being so complacent maybe they would start paying for an easier type of examination. It all boils down to money I guess and who is making the most out of it?

[Vallie]

Did you know that I SAW Clint Walker (Cheyenne), in PERSON, when I was about 12 yrs old?!!! We were on a trip to Monument Valley on spring break. We went to visit my Uncle in Mesa AZ every spring break, so we were all over the SW. We came across a movie being filmed out in the middle of nowhere and stopped to watch. It was so hot, my feet were burning through my tennis shoes on the rocks. The crew was under a canopy in the shade and saw me dancing - holding one foot in the air to cool it, then the other. They invited us over to get out of the sun and off the baking rocks. Nice! So a few minutes later, I see this man come up over the top of a rock with a camera around his neck...shirtless...muscles...glistening with sweat.....it was Clint Walker! Cheyenne Bodie! I'll never, ever forget that moment! His face was not overly handsome, but he had a body to die for!!! For years I looked for a movie with that scene in it - I'm not sure it was ever released because I never found one with him in it filmed in that location.

Sigh!!! Loved that show too!!!!!!

[Heidi]

I just thought I would let you all know... Monday at midnight is the deadline for my Challange using 'Timeless Treasures' in case any of you were interested! Only a couple more days left! Just click on my 'What's Happening... with Heidi' button in my sig for the details!!
Thanks!!

Drat!!!!! Hope you feel better soon.
I get the heeby jeebies when home alone! :eek:

[Vallie]

I had a 2 hour nap after being up all night long, had to call in for my car (windshield replaced - check, but still needs new break pads), and now just came from watching my hubby play a uber cheesy zombie game on the Wii.
Tired, but not sleepy ya know

So I am sharing my secret (again):

I was trying the tutorial for Graphically Challenged on the background photo but once I blended into background it doesn't really have the right effect.

This was dd Elizabeth dressed up for a Grad party. She designed her own outfit and was the first girl at her high school to ever wear pants for her graduation ceremonies. :)

Great layout and DD looks beautiful in her pants.

My story about pant suits. I was Operations/Personal Officer in banking and myself and another lady decided we were going to wear pant suits to work. It was right when they came out and mine had a top which was belted. Of course, it was polyester. We had to clear it with higher ups and were told it needed to look professional. Wish I had a picture but I did look very nice. :yes: However, when the CEO came I was sent downstrairs to do filing until he left.

The rest of the story: This same women and myself were the first females promoted to Assistant Vice Presidents and District Managers.

Oh, another funny, as one of the first O&P's I was told. "You will need to do the same jobs a man in your position would do." Okay, but it took awhile before I received the same pay a man in the same position received!

We Have Come A Long Way! :yes:

Hi Karen:wave:, lucky Scampi going to your gig!!!

A little bird told me there is a freebie through the Magic Door, Id best go get it before it disappears:eek::D. thanks WW:hug:

[Rosie G]

I was up very early and had a bunch of multiquotes ready to go when I got a call from my Mother. She was bleeding profusely from the rectum. I called the ambulance service to go get her and meet me at the hospital. I don't know why she did not use her emergency call button at the assisted living facility. Anyway, long story short and 5 hours later, she has a very large hemroid that began to bleed during the night. I have to take her into see a surgeon on Monday.

I am sooo tired. WVS, WOS, WEES, :hug: AND --------

[evergreen100]

I also found a freebie in my PM box...thanks WW:hug:

Going through my emails:

An ITALIAN BOY'S CONFESSION

This could only happen with a little Italian kid..

'Bless me Father, for I have sinned.

I have been with a loose girl'.

The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano?'

'Yes, Father, it is.

'And who was the girl you were with?'

'I can't tell you, Father,

I don't want to ruin her reputation'

Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or

later so you may as well tell me now.

Was it Tina Minetti?' 'I cannot say.'

'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?' 'I'll never tell.'

'Was it Nina Capelli?'

'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'

'Was it Cathy Piriano?' 'My lips are sealed.'

'Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?'

'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'

The priest sighs in frustration. '

You're very tight lipped, Joey Pagano,

and I admire that.

But you've sinned and have to atone.

You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months.

Now you go and behave yourself.'

Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco

Slides over and whispers, 'What'd you get?'

4 months vacation and five good leads.


During a visit to a mental institution, I asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be admitted?


'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.


Oh, I understand, I said. A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.


No. Said the Director, A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?



ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?

Hooray for Shawn - what an achievement!!!!:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

"What Inky SAID!" Maybe we need a new one 'WIS'

Funny, last night I was sitting at the dance studio waiting for Acacia and people we talking about things that are bad and never get better and I was thinking of Shawn and how FANTASTIC his news has been lately. Hard work for him and such a worry for Brenda but WOW, what a difference a year makes. So happy that things are getting better.

Oh dear!

Hey, why didn't somebody call me! Actually, DH and I ditched the kids, went to our room and spent the night KID FREE. How peaceful for us.

I keep trying to post in galleries or in PM and all i get is " you don't have permission you have to be logged in" and it kicks me out!
This is the same thing that happened before and I thought I was in good hands again...well someone in dsp sure don't like me and drops me all the time! Maybe its time to diet. Again.

Sometimes you just have to reboot. Often you get messed up because of too much in the cashe......whenever this happens, go to the internet options and delete all.....then restart and all should be fast again.

I usually don't post my photo a day picts but this one cracked me up so I though you all would get a kick out of it too.

I worked in a *high powered* law firm in a large city, in the late 60's-early 70's. Our firm allowed us to wear pants suits. One day, whilst riding the elevator up to our floor, a lawyer from another firm made the comment, "It'll be a cold day in hell when our secretaries are allowed to wear pants to work!"

I've often wondered when his cold day in hell occurred!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

raffie you make the normal link for the image then wrap the link to gallery around it by highlighting and clicking the globe then paste the link to the layout.

this is how the image code looks:

link to thumbnail image here

this is how it looks with the link to gallery added:

link to thumbnail image here (LINK TO GALLERY HERE)

remember the tags [] always come in pairs or they won't work. If you have an opening tag you need a closing one with the forward slash.

OK - now don't stand between me and the cherry pie! And I think this is the last piece. :annoyed:

I'll have to order another two cans of cherries from my colesonline - and it's OK - I've learned... I will freeze it in very tiny pieces. :)

I won't eat a large piece again, that late at night, with heavy cream on it. :love2:

raffie you make the normal link for the image then wrap the link to gallery around it by highlighting and clicking the globe then paste the link to the layout.

this is how the image code looks:

link to thumbnail image here

this is how it looks with the link to gallery added:

link to thumbnail image here (LINK TO GALLERY HERE)

remember the tags [] always come in pairs or they won't work. If you have an opening tag you need a closing one with the forward slash.

I actually do it by pasting the thumbnail itself whilst in A/A mode and then delete the name of the layout that comes up with it - easy peasy

[MarsOlson]

your way does sound easy! I always forget about the advanced mode and do the code myself. lol

[nekobus]

Chris, you know you don't get to keep your name because we are so may Chris' here, should we all call you Neko? Oh, and keeep theLOs coming, its great.




Chris, Neko, Neaker, Neak - these all work for me. Christine (formerly known as gundi-chris) used to call me neaker-chris, or some such.

neak and neko are easy to search in the forums, but I've been known to answer to "hey you". I realize, I'm taking my thread-reading life and sanity in my hands by telling YOU ladies that. I can see the many instances of "hey you" I'll be trying to decide if I'm supposed to respond to. Good luck to me :D

[Ineke]

Thanks for all your kind wishes re my cold - it is not the cold that I hate, although that is unpleasant, it is trying not to pass it on to Ryan that is the hardest part because when he gets a cold we are in real trouble, so as soon as I think I am coming down with a cold I start wearing a face mask anytime I am near him and making sure I rub my hands with that alcohol substance you can buy to kill any germs. Easy enough to do at home but not so easy when you are out somewhere, we are enough of a interest to sightseers without me wearing a mask as well:yikes::yikes:

[GrandmaCrys]

One more under my belt. If I can do one last layout before bedtime, then I'll have finished all the challenges I bought kits for. What was I thinking? :eek: :eek: :eek:

I have tucked myself into bed. I just feel plain Ucky!

Good day here! Scamp came up to listen to us play music and then we went geocaching. Scamp learned to use her new GPS and we found three caches. You found the hardest one to find. Scamp, DH and I had supper at Christ Madrid's and Scamp is probably on her way home as I write.

Solution to being in public... Wear a pretty nurses outfit, you know the ones, and add the mask and a nice hat! If WW can wear her tiara to a mam....

Seriously, I'll be praying Ryan doesn't come down with any of it! :pray::wave::wave:

Just got a good quote from a friend: “There are some days when no matter what I say it feels like I'm far away in another country & whoever is doing the translating has had far too much to drink.”

I had a 2 hour nap after being up all night long, had to call in for my car (windshield replaced - check, but still needs new break pads), and now just came from watching my hubby play a uber cheesy zombie game on the Wii.
Tired, but not sleepy ya know

So I am sharing my secret (again):

Hi Raffie, good to see you back here posting, and yes.... I'm the Goddess of Laundry!!! :rofl::rofl: It's one of the few household chores I like to do... wash, dry, fold, put away neatly.... see it all has a home, hidden in drawers and cupboards.... it's everything else around here that bugs me, no where to put it, LOL.

[Fulltime RVer]

I would totally love to do this too would be so much fun what typeof GPS do you have?

I have a very basic Garmin now - the most basic - but as of next Tuesday or so I'll have a Garmin Etrex Legend Hcx.

[lindyroz]

Ok, I'm now gonna be the Goddess of Dishes!! LOL, they're easy to hide away after cleaning too. I love anything I can hide...

BBL

[Fulltime RVer]

What fun! what did you find in your caches?

One cache was a micro so there was nothing in it but a log. The other was a film canister and there was a Canadian looney in it. We left a Texas quarter. The other was an ammo box with some swag in it. Our friend left a trackable geocoin in it and we took it and will move it along. I now have three trackables to move.

Is a Canadian looney a coin too? I love this, do you track your finds and deposits online too? An ammo box, some of these are really inventive, nothing would get ruined in the ammo box for sure.
