Froggiegirl621 | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 11:56 am     1. I bought five pots of mums to decorate the front porch and steps of my house. 2. The frost has already killed one, and another two were destroyed after the wind knocked them into the street and people drove over them...can't catch a break, can I?  |
Bonnyswan | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 12:19 pm     1.) I am SO happy that fall is here, but wasnt expecting it to get SO cold SO fast. 2.) I am very excited that my family and I have started planning a trip to DisneyWorld for this winter...we havent been on vacation in FOREVER and my son will be 5 by then and hopefully will remember this always. 3.)I am a little stressed today because this weekend there is a big "discussion" planned between my boyfriend, his sister and their parents. My "inlaws" have allowed their oldest son to live at their home with his 3 kids for the past five years and he doesnt help out financially...he is on his way to Thailand as I sit here typing. And my boyfriends parents are about lose their home due to the burden his brother puts on them. They wont do anything to get him to grow up and take any sort of responsibility and now my boyfriends parents have started to come to everyone else in the family to borrow money. We are still young and just starting out and dont have the extra cash to help...(not that I even WANT to..I cant help but resent the fact that we are being asked to support this 40 year old "childs" lifestyle...heck Ive never been to Thailand..oh wait thats cause I PAY MY BILLS!!!) Im just really afraid that my sons relationship will be effected by this showdown that's about to happen. I grew up without grandparents and I know how much that hurts...I still want my son to have them around even if I think they stink as people.... |
Goddessatlaw | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 03:31 pm     Bonny, can we talk about #2? |
Ducky | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 03:56 pm     LOL |
Egbok | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 04:22 pm     LOL too! |
Twinkie | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 05:11 pm     Don't listen to GAL, Bonny. I lived 99% of my life in Orlando, FL and have been to Disney World, Epcot, Sea World, Universal Studios, etc at least 25-30 times and never had any problem with any of them. I think GAL had a very bad travel agent. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 05:19 pm     Twinkie is 300 years old? <spins head backwards> Bonnyswan, all I can say about your #3 is it's not your problem. Don't make it so by handing out the cash. It will never end, as the "child's" parents can testify. |
Twinkie | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 05:36 pm     Juju... 99% of my life UP TIL NOW. or I'm 300 years old. LOL |
Ddr1135 | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 02:35 am     1. I think Bonny should ask GAL what hotel she stayed at in Orlando. 2. Today is election day here. There's a very heated battle for a local county/parish position. The majority of the people are just glad it's over. 3. We've had great weather here in the south this last week. Unfortunately the weatherman says it's going to heat up again. Ughhh. 4. Hope I remember to watch the $100,000 Trading Spaces show today. |
Twinkie | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 03:18 am     Ddr, it comes on Sunday night at 8 EST. |
Ddr1135 | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 04:42 am     Thanks Twinkie! I knew it was this weekend. |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 05:11 am     1. Twinks, If I had ANY time in my schedule, I'd come up and help you move AND bring a car full of empty boxes from my attic. 2. My Norwegian visitors took my car to Niagara Falls and got lost on the way back. They were SO amazed at the Falls and took lots of excellent picures. 3. I took them and PBH to dinner at one of the resorts in Cook Forest. $130, and worth every penny. I love it when restaurants serve pate as an appetizer and sorbet to clense the palate between the salad and the entree! 4. We have our big two hour parade today and it is raining. I got up early to set out chairs with garbage bags by our favorite tree. I think my friend's chairs blew over because they were laying upside down in the parking space. I put them back on the grass and righted them. Boy, I hope they were my friend's chairs! 5. I had a very high young man on my porch making a cell phone call last night. I told him to get off my property and to stop swearing or I would call the police. He stood there stunned. (and that is the difference between just drunk, and "high and drunk" intruders I get on my porch late at night.) I said "Get along now" in my best "Professor from Hogwarts" voice and at least he left. 5.5 They are towing the student's cars across the street because they parked in the no-parking parade route overnight. Just set off a car alarm! HA HA HA! |
Bonnyswan | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 06:03 am     1.) I remember GALs tale of Disney from a few months back and wholeheartedly agree I need to find out the name of the hotel she stayed at. 2.)Id love ANY advice from anyone (Twinkie this means you. 25 TIMES!!!!) who has been to Disney and has some great tips for what to see, where to stay, etc. I havent been since I was in 6th grade so Im sure all has changed. 3.)I am also excited for the 100,000 Trading Spaces on tomorrow. 4.)LOL at "high AND drunk" 5.)We are going today to pick out my sons Halloween costume and I think Im more excited than he is. It has always seemed that his moods feed off mine, so I assume the excitement will catch on soon enough.. 6.)Ive lost 17 lbs in the last 2 months and are starting to really feel good in my own skin again. |
Ducky | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 07:05 am     1.Little Ducky has chicken pox. 2.Was getting LD ready for his soccer game this morning and noticed little red blisters on his back and neck. 3.LD is feeling fine and not itching yet. He is to busy watching Saturday morning cartoons. 4.LD has been taking math time tests in school. He is in the third grade. There are four tests that the kids have to pass in one minute. The test have plus and minus questions with 32 questions on each test. LD passed all those plus a test that had 50 questions. The next bonus test has 80 plus and minus questions that you only have a minute to answer. 5.The Fall Festival is today with parade and kids games. There will be turtle races, water balloon toss, egg toss, and many other games for the kids. They are going to have a Firemens water fight and Hot Air Balloons. The weather here is perfect. 6.I would like to take LD to Disney World as I have never been either. 7.Congratulations to Bonnyswan on her weight loss. |

Aus10 | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 08:07 am     Aus' son is nice and warm in Miami...Aus is jealous! Aus has been married for 23 years next month...when everyone gave em 6 months. Aus is contemplating taking a medical transcription class because she's bored since she quit her job and went on the road. Would love to hear from any other transcriptionist's out there! |
Jbean | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 08:45 am     1. i am SO GLAD it's finally the weekend. 2. i had a long week at work. 3. i went to disneyworld with my family when i was 12 years old (the age when you hate everyone and everything), and can say that it wasn't a good time for me....the whole age, attitude and horomone thing. 4. my family went back to florida when i was 17, and it was much more pleasant for me. we went to epcot center instead, that time. and i really enjoyed it. 5. i would love to go on a cruise someday. but it seems like it isn't going to happen. 6. today i am going to go shopping i think. i need to find something to wear to the concert (LRB etc. for work anniv. party) next weekend. 7. because i am not taking a date (my closest friend works there too, and we are always each others' "date" lol), i have 4 free drink tickets. she was given 4 more by another lady that isn't going (giving her a total of 8)....so i think we will be set for the evening. lol 8. the weekend after next (2 weeks from today), i am going to see the above-mentioned friend sing in her hometown (4 hours from here) with another mutual friend. it should be a lot of fun! bonny, keep us posted on the situation with your bf's family...sounds like a tough place to be. eggie, lol about not telling your daughter that you liked her pink hair. too funny! see you are hip whether or not, you care to admit it....you should dye your hair aubergine....ha ha ha, couldn't resist. |
Not1worry | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 12:46 pm     1. We went to Disney with in Jan. of this year when hubby got back from Afghanistan. 2. We are going again whenever he gets back from Iraq. Guess it's a tradition now. 3. We only stayed one night on Disney property, but it was wonderful. 4. We stayed at the cheapo (for Disney that is)All-Star Resorts. It's worth staying on Disney because of the shuttle buses and convenience. 5. This time we are going to stay for 3 days and will probably upgrade to the next level of lodging. 6. We are going to do all the parks instead of just Magic Kingdom. 7. I've been in a funk because I haven't lost any weight, in spite of a pretty decent effort. 8. Hubby called yesterday to say that they have 4 big conexes (like walk-in storage containers) full of mail at the Baghdad airport and they can't get it. It's too dangerous for anyone to bring it to them. He also said one of their mail trucks hit an improvised explosive device so some of my letters might have gotten blown up. 9. Aus, my meager little dream is to someday become a medical transcriptionist. I love the medical field but I pass out and throw up at fluids and icky stuff. In fact, thinking of how to describe the stuff that makes me faint is making me woozy. |
Aus10 | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 07:23 pm     Not1worry....maybe we should take this class together! Believe it or not...I'm the same way..can't even watch those medical type shows on TLC because they gross me out. And I used to work in a funeral home....and I was okay with that. Go figure? |
Not1worry | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 08:02 pm     Aus, how on earth did you work in a funeral home??? That would be way beyond me. About 4 years ago, I was all ready to do the medical transcription (MT) thing. I research all the at home traininng and narrowed it down to the 2 I thought best. One was Andrews School of MT, the other was (I think) MTech. You can probably do a search for them if you are interested. There also was an MT board that I went to a lot that was very informative. In a few more years, my husband will retire and my kids will be old enough that I can consider this again. |
Aus10 | Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 06:27 am     That's a good question Not....When I started I figured I'd pass out...but surprisingly enough I didn't. I loved Bio class in school, and the dissection stuff didn't bother me at all....but most surgery, and blood things make me pass out (I passed out giving blood test to get married). First embalming I watched, I only had to turn my head once. The guys I worked with were very caring funeral directors who I learned a great deal from. I think that helps. MTech is who I'm thinking about going through. I've been in contact with them and they think I can do it....we shall see |
Not1worry | Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 06:05 pm     Cool, Aus, keep me posted! |
Halfunit | Monday, October 06, 2003 - 06:29 am     1. I never thought I'd attempt 10, but I have things to talk about today. 2. My 62 year old father called last night. 3. He and his girlfriend of over 10 years want to get married. 4. He wants to do this in my county to hide the marriage from his mother (my grandmother). 5. My grandmother loves my dad's girlfriend, but is of the mindset that when she dies, she wants her belongings to go to only "blood" family. 6. My dad thinks that's nuts. 7. I found out he can't apply for a marriage license in my county. 8. But he can marry his girlfriend in PA, which is only a 40 minute drive from his house. 9. It's funny because he's hiding this from his mother, and his mother has already changed her will, omitting my father. 10. Unit and I are the only ones who know what these two are up to. Dad says not to tell Grandma that he's getting married, and Grandma says not to tell Dad she's changed her will. 10½. I'm good at keeping secrets!  |
Squaredsc | Monday, October 06, 2003 - 06:42 am     psstt 1/2, i got a secret to tell ya. |
Spygirl | Monday, October 06, 2003 - 08:25 am     1. I'm home again! Went to Texas for a wedding this past weekend. I'm pretty well tired of traveling |
