Egbok | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 03:17 pm     Aww Tebby, I think Halloween would be the perfect day to donate blood! |
Reader234 | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 03:39 pm     {{{LOST&Ginger&Eg}}} I would reply more, but I cant, I'm tired of crying!! (what happened to full moon on Halloween, or at the end of each month?) |
Tabbyking | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 04:31 pm     ugh, tebby doesn't have so much trouble with the 'spookiness' of donating on this holiday as i do with the traffic (with people wanting to be home in time to get their kids out and about). i have to go 100+ miles each way to stanford and a lot of it is on 101 which is always crowded, even at the best of times! also, it is homecoming weekend at cal poly, although my son says not to come; it's close enough to thanksgiving. homesick, kyle? not ever, not for a second! giants baseball camp... bye! 6th grade camp... do you have to come for parents' day? he misses us but, with our cell phones, we are in contact almost every day. he calls for little things like, "this pyrex measuring cup can go in the microwave, right?" right now, i don't think it was smart to have homecoming on a friday and saturday (probably some uppity profs don't want to show off their classrooms on saturday, as it's their day 'off'), but i also worry about leaving my home unattended for halloween. we got egboked on our bug last year, and the force of the throw 'split' the paint. there is an oval smack mark, with split rings of paint around it. i am livid, but don't have the $500 deductible to fix it. g-r-r-r-r for vandalism. i don't think the kids have any realization that eggs just don't make a mess, and can take off the paint if they dry on it, but can actually hit the car like a rock. i can just see our motorhome 'graffitied' or something. but there is no reason to just go to cal poly on saturday for the football game, when our main concern is how ds is doing in class. and all classroom visits are only offered friday.... |
Reader234 | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 04:38 pm     Right now I'm looking for Lancecrossfire, where would he post? How could I find him... do you think he would look into the Adven thread? He's up... |
Tabbyking | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 04:47 pm     you can go to his folder. not sure how often he checks it, though. |
Egbok | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 05:39 pm     Lance, Reader is looking for you! (Reader, he's probably munching on a salad or running 100 miles or pumping iron right now...I'm sure he'll be here soon..) |
Mak1 | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 05:53 pm     Right now I'm desperately seeking Zachsmom!! She needs to run to Adven's game ASAP! Edited to add that I hope Lance is taking his time running that 100 miles. Hurry, Z-mom, hurry! |
Halfunit | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 07:39 pm     Right now, I met Smokey tonight and received the painting for my mom's birthday. Yet another road trip and butt shot, which I will place in the appropriate thread tomorrow. Smokey is wonderful !!! Right now, on the way home, I backed into a telephone pole with a nice V-shaped barrier around it, putting a really nice inverted V-shaped dent in my rear bumper. My poor truck doesn't even have 3500 miles on it. I've never hit anything before. I cried. I'll get over it. |
Heyltslori | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 07:46 pm     Right now I'm giving Halfunit a (((((hug))))). I'm sorry about your truck but I am SO glad you're ok! |
Halfunit | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 08:24 pm     Right now, Thank You Lori! No, not physically hurt, but dammit - my "I'm a good driver" ego is shattered, lol. Look in my folder.
Ok, I'm feeling better. |
Tess | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 09:20 pm     Right now I'm in full sympathy with Half. I cried and cried when I impaled my Forester on our dumpster. Been driving 34 years and haven't ever hit anything before. Four months that danged dumpster was in our driveway. It's gone now. Half, you're still a good driver. I'm sure it was the telephone pole's fault. Darn sure it was the Dumpster's fault! |
Lucy | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 09:28 pm     Right now, the good news is that telephone poles don't talk...You are still a good driver, Half..It's just your little secret about that damn pole! |
Reader234 | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 09:51 pm     Right now... CUBS WIN >> CUBS WIN!!! HOLY COW ( file locking error is driving me nuts) |
Egbok | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 10:37 pm     Right now I'm here to say that I fell asleep in the recliner after getting home from work while watching the Cubs/Marlin game. I woke up at the top of the 11th only to see the most exciting part of the game! And Half, sorry to hear about your truck and your bruised ego..but I'm glad you're okay and not hurt. |
Jed245 | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 04:05 am     Right now... er hmmm OH I ... I'm here to say get your booty on the (?) now make my day.. make my make my make my day...... *dances outta the room*

Tabbyking | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 02:12 pm     right now, i just got home from my second round-trip to merced. daughter says SAT was okay...she is only a sophomore, so has other times to take it, but doesn't think it was horrid....we'll see in a few weeks how she did! son called to tell me his guitar that he bought 4 days ago is cracked up where you tune it. his aunt and uncle should be there soon and he is hoping they can take him to the music store...the problem is, they have a small suv, with the back seat folded down and stuff up the wazoo packed in; i don't know where they would put him to take him to the store 5 miles from campus. (let me say here, that if it were me, and a niece or nephew needed help, i would offer to stay on campus for the half hour or so and have my husband take the kid on their errand. let me say here, my sis-in-law is an only child who would never even consider having to 'rough it' on a beautiful campus for half an hour so a kid could get a ride somewhere!) sigh...even for the simplest things, it's hard to have your kid away from home! he is upset because he spent his own money--over 350 dollars on this guitar. i am wondering if it was sold to him with the store clerk knowing it was cracked/ready to crack...i guess i will have to just quit 'fretting' LOL and hope he can take care of his own problems...cause, he's a grown ass man. yeah, right! |
Tabbyking | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 03:33 pm     right now, well, my hoping paid off...they didn't think to have one of them walk around a beautiful campus, but ds's aunt and uncle rearranged their luggage and found room for my son and his guitar and took him to the music store. the better news is that the music store told him it was obviously a manufacturing defect and they would send it back. he will have a new guitar in a week. i'll bet he checks it out totally while still in the store! |
Reader234 | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 04:18 pm     Right now I am sympathizing with Tabby, and i too am wondering when they grow up so fast? My son is in his first year at college, and I happened to call and his roommate happened to tell me my son was on crutches!! He didnt want to worry me!! He made all the doctor appts (even had to see a specialist - he went to the health center, had x-rays, made the appt for the specialist, and then for an MRI - ALL before we found out!!! Luckily just like you, my son's knee turned out ok, the original xray looked like he had a torn mediscus (torn knee cartiledge!!) but the specialist thinks its more of the knee cap bone that is 'broke' - no surgery!! So right now, I am greatful for my DS... |
Tabbyking | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 05:30 pm     ah, reader, sons will make us nuts!! but we sure do love 'em! your poor son must be in such pain. what a brave guy to go through it alone. |
Halfunit | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 04:39 am     Right now, I am still laughing at the hijinx and tomfoolery that happened in my folder yesterday. |
Lostintheglades | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 04:47 am     Right now I'm thinking since my oldest decided to live at home while attending a nearby college maybe I should be the one the move out. I don't like her as a roommate - she ate all my Chunky Monkey. |
Halfunit | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 08:40 am     Right now, I need the shock paddles - STAT ! I just took my baby to get an estimate on the bumper, and they quoted me, $369.06. Now, what I don't understand is they list the bumper price as $183.95 (NOT painted), and I can find them online for $126.95 (painted). Sheesh. <...Half goes off to find the book, How To Replace Your Own Bumper For Dummies...> |
Egbok | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 09:21 am     Right now I'm having a laugh at Lost's post...and yeah, I totally agree with you Lost..that's grounds for the boot! LOL!! And Half, somehow I suspect you'll be saving $242.11...you go girl! |
Reader234 | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 12:28 pm     Right now, I'm getting caught up in all the fun I misses since being offline. And I'm thankful that I have the chance to read these wonderful message bb and LOL, and make some connections!! I too LOL at losts post, and am greatful my ds did move away... I almost had to pay the camp to take my son on as a 17yr old '4th year' camp counselor (he graduated high school, but was 17, didnt fit, didnt fit the over 18 adult housing rules, and didnt fit the under 18 still in high school crowd... its ALWAYS somethin!!! gotta go get 15 yr ds from hair cut, turns out he has a Homecoming date/dance on Saturday, OH almost forgot, I'm still LOL at all the fun that's being had in half's message folder, it is a classic!! |
Not1worry | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 07:33 pm     Right now I can't believe that I've been talking on the phone to various people for an hour and a half and I forgot I wanted to watch RR/RW Gauntlet. The whole evening is gone and I've spent it talking and playing Spider solitaire. |
