Juju2bigdog | Saturday, April 19, 2003 - 05:10 pm     What's that yellow stuff spewing out from under that tractor?
 |
Whoami | Saturday, April 19, 2003 - 05:25 pm     Yellow? It looks like green grass clippings to me! Or were you implying my gardner ran over the poor sponge? See, that's why I turned on the sprinklers first. So he'd expand, and be easier to see. Thus, he'd be easier to avoid getting run over. |
Dahli | Saturday, April 19, 2003 - 09:05 pm     thanks for the assistunce (sic) all! I was fairly sure I knew but wondered if it stood for something english... 'spelling is crappy' or something like that LOL, but the combo of all your explanations means I will never think what the heck does that mean!? ever again! |
Tagurit | Monday, April 21, 2003 - 01:47 pm     Anyone know what to get for an 11 y/o who is graduating elementary school next month? Should be easy but it isn't. She is the only child, only grandchild on her mom's side and her grandparents (mom side) live in the same town. Which means, she gets everything. She is like an adopted neice to me and I need to get something but am clueless!! I've done the gift certificate to book store to death, done clothes, done music and jewelry. HELP! |
Wargod | Monday, April 21, 2003 - 01:52 pm     Girls day out? Maybe a dress up dinner type thing with a movie afterwards? Or a trip to the mall for lunch and window shopping? |
Kaili | Monday, April 21, 2003 - 01:55 pm     Tagurit- Maybe something for Middle School for her? She'll have a locker then and will be moving from class to class so I'm thinking... Locker mirror/organizer/photo holder Organizer for assignments/planner Nice, good calculator (I know...boring) Aside from that, in terms of fun stuff I'm not sure. If nothing like taht sounds good, I would end up falling back on a CD, game, clothes, or something along the "usual" lines. |
Zachsmom | Monday, April 21, 2003 - 02:00 pm     I like Wars idea of a "girls night out". The two of you get dressed up and go have dinner and see a movie she's been wanting to see. I loved doing those type of things when I was that age.(Heck..I'd enjoy doing that at MY age..lol) It's also a special time just the two of you..that's a memory that will last a lifetime. She'll fondly remember in later years "I remember when I graduated from elementry school and my aunt Tagurit took me out to dinner and a movie.I'll always remember that special date" |
Twinkie | Monday, April 21, 2003 - 02:39 pm     Maybe a little window shopping in between dinner and the movie so she can load up on popcorn and candy at the movie. |
Tagurit | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 09:13 am     Thank you so much for the ideas!!! I just love this place! I never thought to take her out. I think it would be an excellent idea. She reminds me of me when I was her age and I loved it when my older neighbors would take me places. Thank you! Thank you!! |
Wargod | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 09:51 am     Sounds like you'll have a great time, Tag! How wonderful that she has someone in her life who cares so much about her! |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 10:02 am     On Saturday Zachary and I went to an Earth Day Carnival. Such a fun and wonderful time. We decided it would be fun to get our faces painted with cute little butterflies. Mine was red. Mine stained my face. Normally this wouldn't bother me as I am sure in time it will fade. The problem is is that I have a job interview this afternoon. I tried putting concealer/foundation on but it's not covering the stain.I have tried sea-breeze..that hasn't helped. I've washed my face numerous times the last 3 days. Anyone have any recommedations? Or do I say heck with it and hope that this job will like me butterfly and all? |
Tagurit | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 10:24 am     Zachsmom - have you tried cold cream (ie Ponds)? That is the only thing that I can think of that may help you out. If nothing else, you'll show them you are a good sport and good mom for having your face painted. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 10:30 am     Yeah..tried the cold cream..looks like I may have to just go with the butterfly.It looks worse if I try to conceal it so unless I hear about something else that works I'll go without foundation and hope they understand! lol |
Lucy | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 10:36 am     Zachsmom, I think they'll love you the way you are!! Go get em at the interview today!! |
Wargod | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 10:45 am     Who wouldn't love a mom who gets her face painted for her child? At least it shows you have a fun personality. Good luck, Zmom! |
Mware | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 10:50 am     Bring some face paint to the interview and tell the interviewer that you're just not comfortable talking about your qualifications until he or she has a design on their cheek too. See what happens! Good luck! |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 11:01 am     Thanks guy.. from your lips to the interviewers ear..lol Mware..brillant suggestion..too bad I am too chicken to do so..lol I hate interviews anyway..now all I will be doing is being self concience of it.. In the long run I really don't wnat to work for a company who doesn't understand that face-painting with your kid is a fun time. |
Wargod | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 11:08 am     LOL, Mware! |
Halfunit | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 02:32 pm     I may be too late here, but what about nail polish remover - I swear by it for getting out tons of misplaced color. |
Whoami | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 02:38 pm     Zmom, I want to hear how the interview went. Did you explain your stain? Or did you just let the interviewers stare at you? I have a DQ inspired by the Riddles thread. It involves food coloring, and butter/margarine. The Mindbender/riddle of the day said that butter was the first food allowed by law to have food coloring in it. The DJ's that morning said that butter was white by nature, and colored yellow. I was always under the impression that butter was yellow by nature, and margarine was white, but was colored yellow to look more like butter. My mom talks of buying margarine that was white, and it came with little packets to color it yellow yourself. So, farm, dairy or otherwise experts....speak up! What's the real story? |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 02:44 pm     Interview is in an hour. Trying to find a suit in my wardrobe that with match with Red..Red is a power color isn't it? LOL I'll let y'all know afterwards.. Half..I am very tempted to try your suggestion..But I am afraid if I do I'll smell like nail polish remover..Perhaps the butterfly will be something to remember me by from all the other candidates.. |
