Llkoolaid | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 06:22 pm     Right now I am depressed. |
Tabbyking | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 06:25 pm     ah, yes, what talented con men! in the interview with the man from 'catch me if you can' done a year or so ago, someone suggested to him, "it would be much harder to be a con man these days with all the electronic wires and technology, etc., right?" and he said, "it would be 200 times easier for me to do it today!" good thing he went 'honest' he really did escape through the toilet of an airliner, but the scene with the girlfriend turning him in was different. it was a stewardess in real life who turned him in; they went for a hike and he told her. she said she was going home and he said he would follow her shortly. when he got near her home, he saw all the police there and ran away. his first scam was taking his dad's mobil credit card because they had the same name, minus the 'sr' or 'jr'. he said he would buy a set of 4 tires. the station attendant would get a verbal authorization from mobil. then he would tell the attendant he didn't want the tires put on, but would sell them back to him for half price. that way, mobil got paid and the attendant could sell the tires again because john never wanted the tires in the first place, he wanted spending money! it was his dad who paid the price! i think john got $2,500 his first month or so, at age 16, from using his dad's gas credit card. |
Tabbyking | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 06:27 pm     oooh, mocha, my dh made the neiman marcus chocolate chip cookies with the instant coffee in them to bring out the chocolate taste. i had to put them in the freezer so i won't see them and want to eat one! we'll take them up north at christmas time. damn! now i want one each one weighs about 6 ounces....sigh..... |
Mocha | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 06:29 pm     Right now, don't stress yourself Tabbyk, send them here, 6oz won't even be noticed on this body, it'll just melt into the bulges. |
Tabbyking | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 09:14 pm     well, crap, i ate one. a 'smallish' one, but a good 5.75 ouncer, i'll bet! i had it with a cup of decaf while waiting in the car for my daughter to attend a community club meeting. dammit! tomorrow, i'll have to do 3.5 miles on the treadmill again. it takes me 3 or 4 'good' days to lose one pound and i can eat one piece of english toffee or one cookie and put that pound back on in an instant! i'll be glad when the holidays are over for the 'food' aspect of it! i can live on broiled fish or chicken and steamed veggies all the rest of the year without much trouble, but show me a fat man in a red suit and i get the munchies for sweets it's the 'santa-pavlov theory'....including the salivating LOL just wait til the salvation army people start ringing bells...i'll have to wear a bib.... |

Herckleperckle | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 08:40 am     Right now, I'm taking a break from: 1. Dropping off Herc at the vet's for surgery to his ear and his first teeth cleaning! 2. Finding and loading and unloading 8 boxes of Christmas decorations (from our storage unit, hauling them up the long walk from car to apt)!-while playing a Norah Jones CD in my car, Twinkie! Trying to get this done this time BEFORE the next snowstorm stops me again!! (Due tomorrow!) 3. Going to the bank. 4. Catching SO! Also, right now, am sending a late morning to everyone here. Special attention to {{{Llkoolaid}}} and {{{Halfunit}}} for her dh! |
Sisalou | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 08:48 am     Right now I just avoided a big crisis! I couldn't find my estogen patches and today is the day to change. I tell you, I was freaking out but I found them in the kitchen of all places. I also want to send hugs to {{Llkoolaid}} and {{Unit}}. |

Tabbyking | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 10:47 am     is everyone okay today? Ll? Unit? i had to dig out my UGGS after watching oprah's show. man what a haul. i almost couldn't watch, i looked like the hulk by the middle of her show--my envy was so great! for those who do buy UGGS, they run large. mine say M5 L6 on the bottom. i normally wear a size 7 shoe and these are ladies 6 and almost too big. don't wear socks, i don't care what the model had on! the fleece inner will form to your feet exactly after some wearing; little toe grooves and all that LOL. but wearing socks with them ruins the fit, the feel, etc. well, i have got to get this house together before we head up north for the holidays. ds is staying home, so he can watch the pets and visit with his friends. we'll miss him, but he always hides in a room with a comfortable place to lie down and a tv tuned to football for a week straight as soon as he says a quick 'hi' to family, anyway! |
Herckleperckle | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Silly: NO!!!!!  |
Bobbie_552001 | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 01:10 pm     Ummmmm Tabby if you ever want to part with those...send them my way. Bobbie wonders if the little grooves would fit her toes as well |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 01:48 pm     Right now I'm trying to keep my eyes open and stay upright. This is not good, lol. |
Grannie | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 02:36 pm     MODS, Right now I would like to thank you for allowing me to have some fun with "Jake The Fake". Thank you for accepting my pranks for what they were intended -- fun. (As you know, I am the one that opened that Jake The Fake folder) Thank you Herckle for putting up with my silly game. It did seem like some kind of a treasure hunt for a while. I just loved your story and wanted everyone to read it. Thank you all for your sense of humor. |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 02:40 pm     <spanks Grannie and sends her to her room>
 |
Bobbie_552001 | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 02:50 pm     Right now...I saw the word SPANK in the above post and just had to come in to see what was going on.... Grannie sometimes going to your room is a very good thing!! |
Reader234 | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 03:05 pm     Right now I'm wondering if I should tell grannie about the "secret folder" Jan set up for us? I wonder if Grannie and some of the newer posters are wondering about the MOLE folder? |
Grannie | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 03:18 pm     Right Now I am saying OUCH Juju. Bobbie, you are right. Lots of to do there. Reader, another secret folder huh? And a Mole folder too. I will keep my " " open. |
Mak1 | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 03:19 pm     lol Reader! Right now, I'm waving hi ( ) to everyone and hope you're all well (or improving if you were sick), that all the kidlets are well and that you're having a peaceful holiday season. |
Not1worry | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 05:41 pm     Right now, I giving in to my bummed out feeling. DH called last week to say that all army assignments were being stopped. We checked online and it looked like our wonderful assignment to Florida had only been deferred for 30 days. I checked again today and it's gone. No assignment location, no report date. Gone. "No data available". Without DH calling his branch manager in DC, we don't know for sure. But I have a sinking feeling it's really gone. I'm trying to tell myself that if it's not meant to be, then it's for the best. But my DH was so excited and motivated to get the assignment and I'm worried he's going to be really upset and frustrated if it got deleted. The whole family was looking forward to this. I had planned out our home school year to include a move in Spring, mentally I'm ready to get out of this place. It's so aggravating to think you're going, then get deferred, then get deleted. I wondering if I should go ahead and get the new curtains for the bedroom after all. Right now, I'm just very bummed out. |
Bobbie_552001 | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 05:53 pm     Right now I'm giving Not1worry a great big hug....did you feel it?? I'm so sorry, what a rollercoaster ride you've been on... And right now...if there is a secret folder Reader just better spill the beans and tell alllll of us!! but then it wouldn't be very secret now would it?? |
