Mak...where do you think Bigdawg should keep his banana hammock, if not in his undies drawer?

1. I like the fact that GAL is an "old fashioned" computer user! A very rare sight these days...and I think it's cool! Kinda like using a telephone by dialing the numbers...remember those??!!

2. I am definitely out of the loop here. Now I thought that Texannie's dd didn't make it for the Seussical production? Texannie, get over to my folder and tell me all about it!! How wonderful for dd!!

3. Banana hammocks....hey GAL, you're not alone with this one. I'm not sure what a banana hammock is either but I think I'm getting the picture now.

4. I've got this cool little device in my kitchen where I hang my green bananas to ripen and I would have thought that was a banana hammock, but apparently not..hehe!

5. I slept in until 12 noon today and now I'm so behind my Saturday schedule...ack!! As you can see, I'm doing the most important stuff first.

6. My family and I will be going to my sil's for our nieces' birthday party this evening.

7. While I was typing up my facts, I've taken 3 phones calls from friends and family. I've got to go and get some stuff done before 5pm arrives...LOL!!

8. Have a great Saturday everyone!

1. GAL, It's genetic....I don't have a cell phone and my Mom doesn't know how to use hers!

2. Shoot, maybe I should have kept the salad shooter!

3. We totalled $600 for the two days of garage sale. I had $450. Still have the desk, fridge, dining room set, two bookcases and replacement windows for sale....and about 100 beanies.

4. I sold at least 50 beanies.

5. Can't believe I cleaned out my office last night and had three bookcase shelves full of binders and notebooks.

6. I'm really tired and was getting cranky at people who wanted to bargain me down. NO damnit....it's new, it's $10 and it retails for $50. (Didn't want to bargain down on anything.....for cripes sakes we're not in Guatemala!) Why do people want to bargain you down when they are already getting it at a steal!

7. My closing in PA is being moved back 2-3 weeks, so I asked if I could move my IL closing. DANG, gotta call the movers, too. This WOULD save me from staying in a hotel and with friends for 10 days, but I really hate moving the first week of August when my contract starts Aug 16 and classes start Aug 23rd....YIKES!!!

8. I'm watching BBQ with Bobby Flay on the Food Network and I'm absolutely drooling! I REALLY miss my grill, and now it will be the beginning of August before I can get a new one, cause I'm NOT putting it on the moving van.

9. I'm thinking about going to Gettysburg for a day cause I've only driven by and never stopped. I should do that before I leave PA. If my closing is moved back, I might also get my NYC fling it, too....but I doubt it....there are many boxes to pack and miles to go before I sleep!

1. i am wondering where jewels is? we are at 10 facts.

2. i don't have a salad shooter, and if i did, i probably wouldn't use it. lol

3. i also don't know what a banana hammock is?

4. yesterday i got to meet the ducky's. we had so much fun. if you are interested in the detailed story, i posted in roadtrips thread, and i saw that ducky has posted our butt shot.

5. i rented bad santa and 21 grams last night, but haven't watched either one of them yet.

6. today is still chore day even though i am on vacay. laundry and grocery store. yuck!

7. i also have to get some pant hangers (where can i get these?) and press all the stuff (up to 25 items) i want to take to the consignment shop tomorrow. fun times.

8. well wouldn'tcha know that it is cloudy outside today. i hope it doesn't rain all week so i can at least get a little bit of a tan.

9. i guess i should just be glad that it isn't cold, too.

10. we've had the strangest weather for the end of june. it is downright cold in the mornings. at work friday, since i am right by 2 dock doors, i was freezing. the only option i had to stay warm was to borrow a rain slicker from the paint booth. everyone made fun of me (is it raining in here?), but i wasn't cold anymore!

1. Dra, you ain't a-kidding about the GPS thing - I need it bad;

1.21 Are salad shooters necessary for personal fulfillment, or are they simply a luxury?

1.31 I never knew that's what DOS meant, at least now I can say "I use a Disk Operating System" and sound like I know some damn thing or another. Thanks bunches, Dra;

1.41 Banana hammocks can be either a hanger for your unripe bananas or a hanger for your SO's unripe banana. I wouldn't use the same equipment interchangeably, though;

1.51 Tex, I also thought your daughter didn't make Seussical, but it sounds like alot of fun and great experience for her. Do they cast locally for the tour company?

1.61 Marm, I don't have a pager either and I don't know how to use anyone else's cellphone;

1.71 Today's a window-cleaning and home improvement day, oy;

1.81 By 10:30 we'd dismantled the patio doors, painted the trim and lattice, bladed and scrubbed the panes and reassembled the whole shebang (and managed to eat brunch). It's amazing how much prettier life looks through clean windows;

1.91 I'm now watching adoringly as Colossus builds me a walk-in closet. The shelving is mostly completed, and he's doing some artsy stuff with the doors before we start tearing out cabinets and drywall. He's converting an oversized full bathroom and dressing room into one full bath and one walk-in closet attached to the downstairs bedroom - it should enhance the value of our condo, I think. Then we gotta murphy bed one wall. Lawd;

1.92 Walk-in closets are a necessity, not a luxury, and Colossus realized this when he got a gander of my wardrobe;

1.93 I am now ready to commence sunbathing - it's a beautiful day, and we're going to start reading Robinson Caruso to each other while we lay out. I've never read it, go figure;

1.94 I hope you're all having a wonderful day, too.

1. Hubby installed a new cd player in the truck for our road trip up north.

2. He was very good about including some of my cd's like Todd Snider and Annie Gallup...but somehow managed to leave out Clay Aiken, but I fooled him. Little does he know, Clay's cd is riding stowaway between Johnny Cash's greatest hits and Leon Redbone.

1. I have greatly mislead you on my dd's talent, I fear.
2. This is a local theater school that my dd performs with.
3. This was their "student" production. She is quite talented, I think, but not quite ready to hit the road!

1. I'm surprised to hear Seussical has been released to local theater - I thought there were still Broadway touring companies on the road (which means no local theater at the same time);

2. I thought maybe the touring company cast young'uns at each stop to spare themselves the union problems of touring with kids under 16;

3. I'll bet your daughter had a wonderful time, I loved doing local theater when I was young;

4. OK, Colossus is here smacking me on the back with his banana. I told him I was gonna tell you, and he said to tell you it's an 8.5. Men!!

1. I like to be helpful, so I googled for a banana hammock.

2. I clicked on one link and saw dangling things that can't be sliced up for an ice cream dessert! <well....not really dangling...oh my innocent eyes!!!>

3. Pages were popping up all over the place. (I tried not to look!) I need to give my puter a bath when I leave here.

4. I'm posting a pic, to save everyone the horrors I just went through:


banana hammock that can be shown in mixed company


5. OMG, GAL and Colossus, you have me ROFL!!

1. <cough, cough>...speaking of bananas...I encountered them twice last night. Once at the grocery store and you'll have to fill in the blank for my second encounter...LOL!!

2. My vacuum cleaner is broken. Egbob said to buy a new one and he'll repair the old one and use it at his high school gym.

3. DD is here today after driving down for a family birthday party for our 2y/o niece yesterday. Then dd spent the night and we had a nice chat together until the wee hours of the morning.

4. My eyesight is getting old! It's so hard to see anything without my reading glasses and I just hate it so much!!

5. Okay, I'm off to buy a vacuum cleaner...yay!

6. Doing 6 because Mak did 5...boy oh boy!! did she do 5!! LOL Mak! Thanks for doing the research for us!! And yup, that's the banana hammock I have in my kitchen with green bananas hanging on it right now!!

01. Hmmm. Mu mom's banana hammock looks like a real hammock, but small enough for bananas. Like this, but without the head:
yammock

02. At the moment, I am really upset. DH promised that we'd spend Sunday at the movies and finishing up some things we had wanted to do, including him getting to try a deep fried twinkie.

03. However, a friend came over last night at 8P and stayed until late (11P). The two of them played video games all night.

04. Another friend called at 6:00A, wanting to know if he could borrow $15 to buy food until the first of the month. DH met him at the bus stop at 7:15A and was back hom by 7:45A.

05. DH then crawled back into bed, and read the paper, and dozed off about 9:30A.

06. I woke DH up at 10:00A, suggesting that he eat something, since we'd be leaving at 11:22A.

07. He grunted and went to the kitchen, and came back with chicken wings.

01. He ate the wings, brushed his teeth and shaved.

02. He then laid back down.

03. At 10:37, I rewoke him.

04. At 11:00, I asked to please get up so we could make the bus.

05. I finally gave up as DH said he was too tired to go, and this is our only day to relax, so why did I schedule anything for Sunday?

06. I pointed out that he had agreed to this activity to make up for the fact that he has slept through the last three date nights.

07. He is now irritated with me as I'm upset with him. This is the fourth time he's blown off going to the movies to see something I've wanted to see, Harry Potter 3.

08. I said that I was really developing a complex that he doesn't want to do things with me. He was tired last night, but still played 3 hours of video games. He was tired this morning, but still went to rescue his friend.

1. LK, I'd be really upset too.
2. Things like that used to happen at our house a lot.
3. Our therapist labeled it passive/aggressive behavior.
4. I this situation, I would have gone to the movies without him.
5. In fact, I have done just that.
6. I decided if one of us is going to be angry, he could have a turn sometimes and I would do what makes me happy.
7. Is it too late for you to go the movie you want to see by yourself?
8. I wonder what would happen next time you make plans with DH, if he knows you will NOT sit around the house with him if he backs out on you again?
9. Your #8 makes a very good point. Did DH have a response?

1. I had nine the second time around, too!

2. One of my organ student's had her debut in church today and she did a really nice job. The other one will play next week. I'm really proud of what they have done in 3-4 months. They are 15 years old!

3. The girl who mows my yard is mowing today, and I will have to close up the house due to alergies. I about gagged yesterday when all three of the neighbors mowed yesterday when I was stuck in the garage for the sale. I wad veddy stuffed ub.

4. Chocolate chip chunks are very good when you keep them in the freezer

5. We have had awesome weather for the last three days! The sun is shining, but it's not very hot. Ahhhh!

6. I like the new clip arts and am glad that we have a quackle. I am hoping to meet Seamonkey and all the quackles in Mystic.

7. I really like to post in chat in purple, so I thought that I would try it here!

8. I am hoping to have a lazy evening with another episode of 6 feet under.....I think that I saw the dish with the doodoo in it last night in the rerun....it's Arthurs! HA HA HA!

9. My broken toe is still swollen and red. Didn't want to go in the organ shoe this morning. It's been five weeks, I think. It doesn't hurt to walk anymore, and I limp just a little bit. I'm good as long as I wear moccasins. LOL

10....well it took me so long to post with the cliparts, that I have to add another....so.....

1. roflol - I get such an education on TVCH, may I suggest urbandictionary.com

2. banana hammock, tea bagging, and pearl neclaces, well at least banana hammock is innocent enough, I'll still never look at pearls, or tea bags the same way!

3. I cant lift my arms above my well up.

4. the whole time I was trying to get the wallpaper off the glue stuck on the walls (besides having unscoutlike thoughts to the person or persons who did this to me) I kept thinking how nice it would be to have someone do this for me, or to have enought money to pay someone to do it.

5. Now that its off I have to spakle the walls (much paint fell off before the wallpaper thought about leaving the walls - wicked) then sand the walls, then prime the walls, then paint the walls THEN I can move dd new furniture in her room

6. Its embarrassing how messy the house is, you have to climb over clutter, and dressers, and animals and I'm too tired to care

7. When its all said and done, I'm GOING TO DISNEYWORLD

8. VBS starts tomorrow

9. I have no clean clothes, and I cant go to the laundrymat - I'll have to wear something ugly, what an impression I'll make!

10 DH didnt help me with the room, he left to go to a meeting. I'm very lonely. I kinda feel like the lil red hen "who will help me" not i said the dd, not i said the dh, not I, not I...

1. I know about tea bagging.

2. But what the heck is pearl necklaces?

3. I feel so out of the loop.

4. That probably means something different too!
