I have to say that I have tried the fried cheesecake on a stick... but I think I lost a few years of my life due to clogged arteries

I haven't heard of fried cheesecake. Sounds interesting.

It was at the Bloomsburg fair in PA... my friend and I had to try it... It was good, but very very rich

I heαrd thαt αsiαns eαt fried ice creαm?-- whαt is thαt αbout:confused:

I would eat ice cream anyway they serve it... that is my one downfall... that and red wine

Lol I don't like ice creαm αll thαt much I'd rαther eαt rαnch & cαrrots

That would be why you are slim and trim and I have a bubble butt.

Ghetto bootyyy :p whoot whoot

All the Mexican restaurants here serve fried ice cream. It is good.

Thαt sounds so gross them

What about a fried mars bar??

Deep-fried Mars Bar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-fried_Mars_bar)

Don't mαke me vomit ::blech::

LOL isn't that just vile they are popular with the northern part of the country us southerners are a bit to posh to eat that plop

Lol from cαnαdα αnd it is still nαsty!!

Bit like mushy pea fritters now that could make me sick for a week lol

all this talk about food has me STARVING for fair food. Carmel apples, funnel cakes, sauerbraten, cotton candy... all that stuff that has NO nutritional value whatsoever!

LOL I love eating absolute poop it just tastes so good lol I need to go feed shorty xxxxx

I hαve α strαnge crαving for hot αpple pie with vαnillα ice creαm

I have a craving now for blueberry pie with swiss cheese!

Omgsh synnen sounds like pregnαncy crαving:p

LOL... no, I think that's just a WI thing.

That's what my great-gramma used to give us kids... hot blueberry pie with a slice of swiss on the top. The swiss cuts the sweetness of the blueberry pie to something manageable.

Whαts WI?

I honestly never heαrd of thαt -- I'll try it sometime:)

WI = Wisconsin

I grew up near Green Bay.

Ooh lol I thought it wαs Womαnly Ideα :DLOL

I could go for a hot apple pie sundae... do you guys have those where you are...
Apple crisp, piled high with soft serve vanilla ice cream, covered in carmel sauce and nuts. And of course whip cream and a cherry

Omg tuscαny wαy to mαke me go to dαiry queen αnd breαk my diet BRB

I have to go by an ice cream place that makes that on my way home... and I did not each lunch today. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I think I know what I am doing :)

Lol wow-- I just got α phone cαll from α hydro compαny, the lαdy thought I wαs α kid αnd to put my mom on the phone--- wow I b!tched.

Ok ladies I am off to do yard work. Have a good weekend...

We are doing more exterior work this weekend. Excited I am not.

Eww work---blech.. I do the inside : dishes, vαccuming---αll the "womenly things" mαcho men sαy women αre supposed to do while my husbαnd sticks to well mαnly stuff-- hey I think we're doing the 1950's roles here:p

Housework: why teenagers were invented

I cαn't wαit till shαylα is older

My son takes out the trash and recycling and occasionally fills the dishwasher. I am grateful for that. I think I am going to teach him how to use the washer/dryer this summer.

Lol how old is he (this is when he's 6)

16

Lol he doesn't know how to operate a dishwasher!

I pressed α button αnd now my fonts αre smαll?--- does αnyone know how to undo thαt?

My husband came to me trained in housework. He's more fastidious about it than I am.

I thank his mother every time I see her for teaching him how to do all of that stuff, and MAKING him do it as he was growing up.

Yep ben did too we share all of it :D

My hubby is GREAT at housework. He is a neat freak. LOL

Where you been hiding pod women

I have been hiding all over town LOL. Had to run and help Mom apply for death benefits etc, etc...

I almost need a nap!!

Oooooooo snuggle up time I like those crafty afternoon snoozes :D

I would love to but I would not be able to sleep tonight. I am having a hard enough time as it is, I don't want to make it any worse. LOL

You obviously aren't twiddling enough ;)

Gawd, I don't think I have the time or the energy to twiddle!!

Hey beautiful J -

How are you honey? When are the arragnements.

Hehehehehe you could always find the time and energy to twiddle ;)

Hey, AH sweetie. I am doing okay. Mom is having a hard time right now. I am actually feeling so strong, this is really liberating me. I know it sounds terrible, but sometimes in grief comes strength. Dad would have been proud.

The visitation is Sunday from 6-8 and the funeral is Monday morning at 11.

God, I am so proud of you J.

And love you even more. Give Mom a hug from all of us. And know it does make sense.

I once read a quote that said something like, if we never experienced difficult times, how would we ever know the strength we possess.

Pretty powerful quote and you are proving it to be so true.

So many hugs for you.

Hugs to you too Laura. Hope you are getting good rest.

Much love to both of you.

Thank you sweetie. You are really so special. So are you Laura my little sweet pea.

Awwww Love you J.

And just love the two peas in a pod :).

Many special hugs.

Hehehehehehe lots of love to you both, and you stay strong j its good for you but don't be afraid to cry either xxxxxxxxxxx

Oh boy. They put Paris back in jail and now they are saying the Judge was so PO'd she may have to do all 45 days.

Judge orders Paris Hilton back to jail - Celebrity News - MSNBC.com (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19102663/?gt1=10056)

Great weekend... Friend's son's first birthday... he was so cute!

I am a big fan of the bloody mary to help me get over my issues from the night before...

Husband and I slaved all weekend working on getting the exterior clad in vinyl. Had to come back to work to get a rest!

Heading to the DR. for a pregnancy test. Keep your fingers, toes and whatever else crossed for me :)

Ooooh! I'm so excited! I'll cross fingers and toes and everything else for you!

Let us know!

Good Luck! Although, if I was headed to the doctor for a pregnancy test, I would be in tears.

My mother used to have a throw pillow that said "Better 40 than Pregnant" that I didn't understand as a kid. Boy - do I understand it now!

Haha! Oh do I understand myself that Emland!

Well, funeral is over. I had to read the Eulogy. OMG, how hard can that be? I'll tell you!!

Couple of deep breaths and half an hour later it was over.

Now, where is that Bloody Mary?

Dam the bloody mary here have a straight tequila you deserve it

Heck, after that do the tequila AND the worm!

/hugs Janine.

You've been so amazing through all of this, I can't help but admire you. I want to comfort you, but instead you've been a comfort to me.

My best wishes, thoughts, and prayers are still with you and your family.

You all have been a major comfort to me. Believe it or not, you have been my inspiration going through this. Especially the Crazy Rubber Ducky Lady. LMAO

Whenever I felt overwhelmed, I came here, whenever I felt sad, I came here. I came to help, to help others, that kept my mind free.

Thank you all for being such wonderful friends.

Sssssshhhhhhhhhh I haven't told anyone about my rubber duck fetish lol giggle

Poor duckies... I'll take a long island iced tea... or two or three... it's turning out to be a loooooooooooooonggggggggg day...

OH!! This is a pic of the house were buying..! I'm so excited... :D

Nice, myth

I'll post before and after photos of the Herculean task that my husband is doing with the vinyl once it is done.

Im going to be selling rubber ducks on eBay lol its nothing crude lude or rude :D

Rubber ducky, you're the one
You make bath time lots of fun!

And CBW... with you, it's almost ALWAYS lewd, crude and rude! (love you sweetheart!)

Tee hee I have no flipping idea what you mean I'm a angel lol

Yeah I know that feeling... this one has a lot of work to do on it but it will be ours when we're done and that's just a wonderful feeling.

Ha! If you only knew where I got this duckie... lol

That duck buzz's you naughty girl lol it's a rub my ducky

They have buzzing DUCKS now?

What will they come up with next?

OH MY GOD! You mean... like... on the quack? I mean... like BUZZZZ... QUACK!

Wooo Hoooo, I got 2 more reddies!!

LOL... would you all believe I have never gotten a reddie.. I was looking at that earlier and I just couldn't believe it!!

Yeah, go ahead, rub it in, LOL.

No I had honestly thought I had at least ticked someone off enough to get one... guess I'm just to P.C... lolo

I have a rubber duckie that I named Tim... after Tim McGraw.

The pregnancy test came back negative- so they sent me for a blood pregnancy test because I am so late... we shall see. Going camping again this weekend... its got to take one of these times :)

J- oh honey, that had to be so hard. Screw the bloody mary, lets do shots :)

No shots for you, Tuscany!

You'd better just have straight jello, just in case!

Ug - just got finished with my son's triennial school review. They are necessary to get the proper services at school, but I sure do hate those things.

Em- Trust me the teachers feel the same way. It is a neccessity, but it is crazy trying to get everything squared away. Then to hear others talk about your student/child like they know them and they don't, it is so frustrating

I guess that is what bothers me most. They talk about him like he is a piece of meat.

Today was his last day of school until September. He is a happy camper today.

Today is my last day of classes, we have state testing and final exams for the rest of this week and all of next... but no more planning or teaching :)

Good luck tuscαny!! I αlso went to the hospitαl todαy to get α blood test done for the pregnαncy... I'm getting the results tomorrow.. I'm going crαzy :: pleαse be negαtive pleαse!! ::-- α nurse stole my bαby αnd took her to αnother room where there wαs α flock of nurses -- αppαrently shαylα is some sort of people person -- becαuse she even αttrαcted α surgeon mαn (hehe-- thαts your reαl dαddy shαylα:p)

My husband and I are already blowing the dust off the baseball bat to beat the boys back with. My daughter is 5 and when I take her to day care all the boys meet her at the door.

αwww!! Thαt is soooooo cute!!

LOL Em ben is going to be the same with millie god help her when she is 16

Scares me to death, CBW

I think it scαres my husbαnd the most-- lol I'll be the one helping her go out αnd hαve fun.. just give 'em some nookie αnd she'll be out the door:p

I know Em its very scary I wreken ben will super glue her legs together giggle

They hαve αntidotes for thαt:p

Hehehehehe I wouldn't argue with ben his poles huge ;) if he says no he means it giggle

LOL -- rolling on the floor crying hαhαhα!

Hehehehehehe you're a bad bad girl go to your room ;)

I can't send you a private message your box is full ill ask you again CLEAR YOUR BLOODY MESSAGES WOMEN LOL

Giggle in a nice way poppet in a nice way :D

Lol! Well I better get bαck to cleαning out me & shαylα's closet--- YAY TO NEW WARDROBE! Going shopping this wknd.

cαn't believe how much shαylα hαs grown! αll the bαby clothess!!

Hehehehehehe I haven't been clothes shopping for myself in I don't know how long

I got a new pair of shorts the other day... that's only because I haven't lost the weight from the twins...

Cylαris does α wonderful job--- 6 pounds in 1 weeks:p

Huh??

I just love red!!

Cylαris is the pill I've been tαking:p

Alrighty then, LOL, being off for a few days I guess I missed a lot.

Do I really have to go grocery shopping today?? Uhhhh... this heat is killing me...

Nope, Dominoes delivers!

Mmmmmmmm I wαnt pizzα!!

Pizza does sound good. But I am full. I don't think I can eat for another 2 or 3 weeks. So many good people cook such good food during such times.

Oh, boy our fridge is full. I think I'll stay here till the food is gone. Not looking forward to going back to that heat and humidity.

--lucky duck

All in what you consider lucky Sarai. I guess having free food is lucky, but under the circumstances...

cαn you cook for me:p

I would love to as I love to cook. But I am sure you don't want tears mixed in with your food right now. LOL

αww- why would you cry?

Just means it's cooked with love J... I have to bake cookies tonight... Besides I don't think the twins can have pizza.

Teehee:) -- well lαdies I'm off to get some chinese:p t2ul xoxoxox

J_9 is referring to the food folks bring after a funeral, Sarai.

Omgsh I αm such αn idiot-- sorry j_9 -- I'm gonnα kick myself now

I had some General Tso's for lunch today - yum

Sarai, it is okay. Don't kick yourself, let me do it for you. LOL, just kidding I could never kick anything but a tire.

Well, the food is primarily gone so we will be having bar-b-que chicken and baked potatoes tonight for dinner.

I should be off for home on Friday. Keep your fingers crossed.

You know... it is weird.

When my dad died and people brought food they brought things like brownies, pasta, meat trays- I live in Western NY.

But when my husband's brother died people brought fried chicken, donuts, more fried chicken, and nachos. He lived in VA...

Amazing the differences in the food just in an 8 hour drive...

I am not sure why I bring this up... but it was a discussion among my mom, my husband, and I when we were in VA.

Its amazing that they bring food full stop, here your expected to do all that yourself

OMG, we had spaghetti, jambalya, cole slaw, baked beans, ham, on and on and on and on.

I have been eating non-stop. Specially the scalloped potatoes. LOL

Blimey a feast fit for a king that's quite something, I'm sure your dad would have been proud :D

Yeah, he would have been full too. LOL

That's how it is done in the South. At my dad's funeral there was so much food. No one comes to pay respects without a covered dish.

Hehehehehe bless him bet you ate his share though ;)

I swear the first thing I do when a friend's love one has died is make something... because you can't go over there empty handed. Imagine the horror :0

My dad frequented a restaurant many times before he died. When he passed that restaurant closed down for the day and we had the after services thingie there. It was equipped with a bar... so my dad was happy I am sure :). Can't be without those Genny Lites

I think my husbαnd is gonnα hαve to fαke his deαth-- αll thαt food sounds glorious!!

Oh, but Sarai, remember what happened to the boy who cried wolf.

Trust me I won't cry if it reαlly did hαppen

Any time someone passed in my family - the amount of food is crazy. We had everything under the sun. We had the ladies of the church come in and serve the food after the memorial service. I mean, it is crazy. Appreciated, but crazy.
After my aunt passed, we had the normal set up and then one of my mom's friends sent a honeybaked ham with everything you would need - just for us. It was so good.
Funny, the things you remember. I probably couldn't tell you much about her service - but I remember that ham.
Is that sad or what!

I am still waiting on my blood test results. I should know by lunch time.

I have my fingers crossed for you Tuscany. You know what I always say, one hand only, two hands is bad luck.

Just heard... boy they were quick... Not pregnant.

Now to just figure out why I have missed my last 2 periods...

I heard there was a new BC pill that will stop your period. Anyone know anything about that? Sounds like a dream.

I think I have heard of that - but what is the trade off. No period, but you are going to gain A lot of weight. Some months, I think that might be a fair trade off!

I have got to pack for vacation. We will be gone for 3 weeks! It sounds good, but with gas prices here and all the stuff I have to anticipate and pack for...

ARG!

I wish I could just pack flip flops and tank tops! But, I am in a wedding right in the middle of that 3 weeks - so I have to pack all this stuff for that.

Again, ARG!

I have heard of that one. I think it is called Yaz, but I am not sure. I will be learning plenty of it next semester as that semester concentrates on gynecology and obstetrics. I understand I will have one complete test on birth control.

You'll have to test us, J_9, to see if we really know as much as we think we do!

Oh, won't that be a great new thread? LOL

All of us can learn what I am learning then we can help here better!!

Yeah, so when the 15 year old ask if she is pregnant - we will know what to say! :)

"no you αren't stop being so #@$#@%#@ drαmαtic" :p

Going anywhere fun, NW?

Well, our first stop is Myrtle beach, sc for a week, then to Charleston, sc for a week and finally Florida for a week.

I used to live in Somerville. Charleston is beautiful.

That stop off is for a wedding (actually outside of Charleston). So, I have to pack all this extra stuff that I typically wouldn't for a beach visit. I am driving myself crazy with lists of things I can not forget! I hate to be unprepared and being away from home for 3 weeks - I know I am going to forget SOMETHING! :)

Flying or driving NW?

Driving. I hope gas prices don't go up anymore.

They just went down here at mom's to $3.09 a gallon

I haven't checked what it is here today. It got close to $4.00, but is going back down. Yesterday it was $2.99 for mid-grade. Which, according to the husband, is what I MUST put in my car.
Does it really make a difference? I guess it depends on who you ask.

Regular was $3.59 when we drove up here. Pretty darn expensive.

We used to put Ultimate and MidGrade in our car till we got the new car. The dealership, our mechanic, and the manual said to use regular, so we do.

According to the husband, he is the car expert...
A little thing like me couldn't possibly know what kind of gas to put in. So, I just do what I am told. :)

LOL, same here. My mechanic said not to use it, the car's manual said not to use it, my hubby said not to use it. So I don't LOL

I have never checked the manual. We have only had this one for about a month and a half. So, he is still in the "honeymoon" stage with it. He even showed me how to dry it off properly the other day when I washed it. I didn't know if I should laugh or punch him.

Oh, just laugh. I got the "how to dry the pretty new car the right way" speech too the other week before our trip.

Heaven forbid if there is a teeny tiny speck of dried up water on it. LOL

As far as grades of fuel go... if it says to use mid-grade or premium, the only difference you're going to really get if you don't is that you won't get as good gas milage.

I have a 94 Lincoln that has to have premium... thank goodness my commute is only 2 miles!

I know. I have to give "the baby" a bath in the shade in order to reduce spots.
Plus, all the products I have to use to make it pretty, inside and out.

Don't get me wrong, I like doing it, but having someone over my shoulder giving instructions - drives me crazy.

LOL, Synn. According to my hubby, and he is a gunsmith not a mechanic so take it for what it is worth, high performance engines use premium. If our engine isn't high performance use regular.

This comes from a man who INSISTED that we use premium on our old car, and it recently died. LOL

We use nothing but regular now because the manual tells us to. LOL

LOL, we don't have any shade, so I have to wash, dry and pamper the "baby" in the evening.

It's funny, he takes his car off road - and the more scratches he gets the better - "wheeling scars".
If I let my dog on the inside of mine - oh, heaven help us!

I almost forgot to wish everyone a very Happy Flag Day!

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i72/emland/Military/flag02.gif http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i72/emland/Military/virginia1.gif http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i72/emland/Military/thFlagNavy.gif

Ah Ha, this is the looney bin. Thanks J_9. Hope you are well! Hey everyone. Happy Flag Day to you. I honor the flag, that is for sure, we only have three hanging out front... (my husband) And we still get to have the kids wash the cars, I always go over it when they are done. LOL

My daughter WISHES she could help with the car. You just never know if she gets some sort of rocks or dirt on the special washing mit and then the finish would be ruined. :)
So, it's either me or the brushless car wash.

Welcome Start!! Glad I gave good directions, LOL

I am okay. Making it, you know.

Have to leave Mom tomorrow, and that actually scares me more than Dad's death. They would have been together 50 years this October.

How far away are you from your Mom?

650 miles, quite a long way

Yes that is a long way. Are there any plans to get closer?

Yeah, that is pretty far. That is about how far away I am from my parents. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Just the thought of it makes me want to cry.

I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. It may not be much, but it's all I've got!:)

I am sorry J, has she told you that she will be OK? Are there any other kids close to her?

Hey, NW, I'll tell you, it is the people here who have kept me going. You know AH (Allheart), Rubypitbull, Chippers, Laura of course, etc.

I have been trying to get mom to move closer to me, but she is quite adamant that she can't leave here, for many reasons.

There is NO possible way I can move closer due to school and hubby's job (his dad owns the business which will become ours when FIL passes).

I will keep working on it though, getting Mom there that is. She just HATES Tennessee. (Shhhh, don't tell anyone, but I don't blame her, LOL).


I am sorry J, has she told you that she will be ok? Are there any other kids close to her?
She has said she will be okay, but that is the nature of Mom, she doesn't let her emotions out.

The only other one here is my 32 year old brother who still lives at home and doesn't work. Sad story really.

Ohhhhh... You just be there for her when you can and it will all take it's course. I know you are a wonderful daughter. So glad to hear you have good support. I know the lovely people on this forum have helped me through too. (I am a little worried about chippers) I actually get the pleasure of living with (in separate homes of course) my husbands mother, father, uncle, grandma, and grandpa!! In September we will all be on 3.5 acres together and I am very nervous but know it is for the best. I hope she comes close to you. Sounds like the best plan... Hugs to you J..

As for Chippers, I will try and call her tonight. She helped my through one of the hardest nights of my life. She is a wonderful and beautiful friend.

Yes, she seems to be really good at that... I am getting the kids up from rest so I will talk more later, thanks for letting me know about the loonies!!

You know, we are hanging out here in Ohio with no family really close. It is tough. No one wants to tell me anything because I am so far away and they don't want me to worry. So, I typically hear things way after they happen.
But, you have to do the best you can with what you have to work with. And it will work out the way it is supposed to.
If nothing else, having your brother at home - your mom won't be alone.
I could imagine it would be hard for her to leave - but her feelings are pretty raw (as are yours) right now - given time, she may change her mind.

Yawn stretch good morning my lovelys anyone want to pop over for coffee and look at my firemen putting up my new kitchen ceiling ;)

Can I come over in my PJ's? I haven't got enough energy to do much but drink my coffee!
I get to pack today!:)

Hell sure you can giggle

I can't wake up this morning either. Think I'm going to go home tonight and take a nap!

Hehehehehe I hate it when I feel all groggy but that's pretty much all the time at the moment :(
Come drink coffee syn and ogle firemen ;)

Mmmm... coffee and firemen... *drool*

CBW: Did you say that firemen were putting up your ceiling? :confused:

I will be there in a minute. (wishing)

Hello everyone.

You look wonderful today... I hope you did well on your test and hope you feel better too!

CBW: Did you say that firemen were putting up your ceiling? :confused:

Yes Em my landlord is chief fire officer in our town and all his firemen have second jobs :D luckily for me giggle

IM better. I was slightly irritated last night. Im less irritated today. The test went fine, I think I passed.

Yes, I was irritated too. I am doing better and on my way for a good day of cleaning and bossing my own kids around the house. AND YARD, lot's of work to do. I will be enjoying it! (That is the little devil in me) The foster boy leave today for vacation, they are eating breakfast and will be picked up soon!

Wow are you that far behind me?. its lunch time here. Oh wait, your in, what, Oregon?

**EDIT** I guess I could have just looked at your location... brain fart.

My great grandma says it is a senior moment, she is 91 and the best lady I will ever meet in my whole entire life... Yes it is 8:30 here and it will be a good day to get things done, kind of dreary out there...

I had to visit a doctor because I was not sick for two years :)

LOL, that is great to hear.

I had to visit a doctor because i was not sick for two years :)

LMAO where did that come from giggle

<------- SO confused...

Maybe a physical that someone pushed you to get cause you haven't seen a doctor?? That is what I thought Al

Well, I feel the need to rant a little.
I told you guys yesterday that I am supposed to be going on a 3 week vacation -leaving tomorrow.
My husband just informed me that the plan that he had to pay for everything is not coming together.
So, we can't go. He is going to call his family and tell them we aren't coming. I still have to be in this wedding - so there is still that expense. I have to call my family and tell them we aren't coming - but we still have to pay for our part of the rental.

We were supposed to be leaving in less than 24 hours. How am I supposed to call everyone and say we can't come? He would like me to call my friend to say I can't be in the wedding, but that is a week away - how can I do that?
After the year we have had - I don't know how I am going to call my Mom and tell her this.
I am totally shocked.
Thanks for listening

Sorry, NW

Oh, NW, I am so sorry to hear you are not going on the vacation. I know you were looking forward to it. I really hate when things like that come unraveled at the last minute.

I was supposed to leave for home tonight but will not be able to get out until tomorrow. I have to fly standby so that I can fly cheap, really cheap, like $50, well, my plane in Houston is overbooked by 20, so 19 other people have a seat before me if others don't show up. I don't know anyone in Houston so I don't want to spend the night in an airport.

I will be leaving in the morning for a 12 hour flight, connections in Cleveland, Ohio, and Newark New Jersey, then finally home.

NW, rant all you want, that's what we are here for.

Oh nowwhat, I am sorry. Isn't there any way? I am so sorry! I wish I could send you a couple grand so you can have a great trip. I think your family has to know ASAP and you never know someone might be able to help, just maybe. I will pray for it! Hugs to you. You should definitely go to the wedding, tell your husband you just have to.

I wish I could figure out a way - I wish I didn't have this hit me when I am supposed to be packing. I mean, this has been planned for a while and he said he would take care of everything.
It's our own fault. I guess I just didn't have a plan b. And you should always have a plan b.

I will have to suck it up and tell everybody. I just hate letting my family down.
He said he would try and think of something through the course of the day - but, I don't see how.

It just really sucks!

I'm so sorry to hear that. There is nothing worse than plans falling apart at the last minute.

That really sucks and if you want to rant, then you have every right to. I wish I could just magically send you what you need. I really do. Do you think your mom could help or a family member until you get back to pay them back?

Hugs poppet chin up nw, j you will be home with our wee flower and our boy real soon :D I know they have missed you like crazy and oh boy I can't wait ti skype lol

CBW, please tell me to get the heck off the puter and get my butt in gear...

Start, get off the computer and get your butt in gear! Heaven's sakes, woman!

(I know I'm not CBW, but still... )

Good enough, shesh OK then I am off!

Start, you procrastinate like me, LOL

Now, slowly reach over to your monitor and turn it off, then slowly put your butt into gear, get out of the chair, pick up the phone and make some calls. When you get it all sorted out please come back and tell us what wonderful progress you made.

Damn it... I am going

Whew, she is finally gone. I hope she comes back with some good news.

So... the big boss is getting married this afternoon. Everyone in the office except me and the 2 other people who answer the phones was invited, and one of the people that answers the phone left early.

So there are 2 of us in the office, here to answer the phones.

I'm annoyed, and I'm not really even sure why. It's not like I want to be at the wedding... just would have been nice to have the afternoon off, I guess.

You guys need and answering service, synnen. That's part of what the company I work for does. You could be home and my operators could be taking those annoying calls for you!

I *am* the operator.

/sigh

We have the phones forwarded at 5 PM, but I can't forward them early without authorization from higher up... and all the higher ups are at the wedding.

You sound like you work for my company...

Hehehehehehe oh the fun I so don't miss going to work :D

Well, then you can have fun snooping around the office, LOL

Oooh that is the best! Lol.

At least they aren't there to bother you.

They're not here to solve problems, either :P

It's just beautiful outside, and I'd love to open up my house, turn on some music, and clean while my husband isn't home!

Ewwww, too hot here to open anything cept the fridge. 90 here today, up here in Michigan!! And it's JUNE!!

I thought about leaving work early to clean house today. Got stuck doing something else, but may still try to slip out.

Here in VA, it has been in the 60s the last 2 days. Sounds like our weather got switched, J.

J-9 I don't need to make any calls, I had to clean the bathroom and the whole house for that matter. The foster boys are leaving today and I figured I would get my crap done! Synnen, I hope your day gets better. My doors are open and I am listening to music, I am pretending I am cleaning your house. It is always easier to do others chores... I hope it looks good when you get home. I am gone again, continue on J_9.

LOL, Start!! You can clean my house too while you are at it. I am afraid to go home!!

Very afraid!!

Well, it's 90-something here in Minnesota, too.

But... I moved here from Texas last year, so I'm still pretty comfortable with the temps!

Yup 94 here... woot.

Oh, how I hate the heat!!

Better than the freezing cold if you ask me... at least I can go swim... and its cheaper without paying a heating bill... lol.

LOL I hate heat it drives me crazy

The heat drives me crazy too. In the winter at least you can put clothes ON to keep warm. But when it gets too hot... well, I'm not going there, LOL

LOL don't tell me you walk about in your spongebob undies giggle

Shhhhhhh

Giggle I'm praying we don't get a summer at all this year I just don't want to be pregnant through it the year I was carrying millie was the hottest on record for 50 years here yucky

Is your weather similar to ours? I won't be too big until winter, so I'm happy about that. Connor was born in September, so I was sooo HOT! I just couldn't get cold... I don't know if you have ever seen father of the bride II, but that was me... my porr hubby all bundeled up and I'm in a tank scalding hot.

Our weather is humid and revolting but here in england there's no homes with air con so its shut it and suffer lol

*edit* lmao you won't get big till sept yeah right ;)

True at the rate things are going I might not get big until next month... lol.. Ill be the size of a truch by the time December rolls around... just dress me up as santa.

Giggle I keep thinking mines all wind and stuck poop but I can't have that much in there surely lol I'm tempted to stick a pin in and see if I can fly :D

Lol... I wish mine was... sigh...

I wish I could feel sorry for either of you hussies!
