Jett and I just got the first snake of the year! Keeping it in a bucket so little brother can see it when he wakes from his rest! :) Now we can officially say it is SPRING!
You read McGuire's (sp) other stuff?
I really loved "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister"
Haven't read that one yet - almost picked it up the other day when I was in B&N... I adore his writing style!
Yay - another Wicked fan!
I was listening to As Long As You're Mine this morning on my way to work... GREAT song :)
A snake, huh? You touch it? Wow... you go, girl!Quote:

*yawn* Tired, Semi Sick, Gota go Turn in My Job applictation to Papa Murphy's and then go to the football meeting at six. I've actaully got quite a story today!
Me and my 2 friends are deciding that when were 16 that Summer of 09 Were going to go on this big roadtrip up east coast to places like NYC, Boston, Hershey, and then down to Myrtle Beach SC. Well me and my friend Brett did a little math on the ole calculator to see how much we should expect if well all have jobs my this may and work until may of next year
Guy:
6 Dollar MW x 30 Hours=$180 for 2 weeks
180x.07 Federal tax=12.6
180-12.6=167.4 (We'll round up for this so 167.5)
But wait my moms want me to put 10% of my pay into my college so 167.5x.1=16.75
167.5-16.75=150.75$
150.75x 2=301.5... So in 1 months I'll make a total of $301.5.. so Multiply that by 13 for the number of months
301.5x13=$3919.5
Brett:
Basicially the same execpt that he dads wants 50% in his college so
167.5x13=2177.5
Now with treigh we don't know if his parents want anything so we'll say they don't
Treigh:
167.5x2=335
335x13=4355
So Add all of those together
4355+3919.5+2177.5=10,452 DOllARS!
Remember, this isn't all the factors that can be put into this like Insurance fates, Christmas, If we gota fix the vehicle before the trip, stuff for us like video games and such,etc... but that's still a lot of money for three 16 year olds. Someone check my math
Remember this is only in the works But I Really hopes this happen. Because if it does then with my 3000 I'm spending a night in the 4 seasons Hotel in Boston if I can afford it (PS, I've got family all up and down the east coast so most of the money will be shopping and such, because we'll only have to pay for gas and some food)
Guy, this is great! You have a plan and I am proud of you for that. I hope you get to make the trip, what a good chance of a life time!
Yea, I know,That's a $hit load of pizza's to make
It works out quite nicely, I've got family in East Tennessee, Virginina, Maryland, Boston, Connecticut, While Treigh has his family in Myrtle Beach, Brett.. well Brett's just coming because were friends and It'll be cool.. were thinking about bringing 1 more person but we don't know yet. My parents say they don't care so I'm already a go and we've got many a vehicle to choose from
I want to go! Heehee, just kidding, I hope you have the best time. Work hard and make a list of things "to get done" and check it off as you complete one. Even if it is a list of saving the money on a weekly basis, if there is a check mark, you are sooner on your way!! GO GUY!
I wish I had done this. You are lucky to have good friends to go with, this is cool!
Guy that's amazing, good for you! That's a lot of money to make as well!
I remember I got a job when I was 16... and I worked for two straight years to buy my car... in the end, that feeling of actually getting what you want, and then knowing you earned it... is priceless. You think you'll feel good now, trust me when I say... it STILL feels good when I look at my car. Way to go.
I agree Sneezy! It does feel great to know you worked for something!
Hey all,
Guy, that's great. When I was 14 I got a job cleaning an office building. When I was 16 I spent the money to go to Germany by myself for 2 months. I stayed with relatives but did allot of travelling on my own, by train (in Germany you have to be 18 to drive, but only 16 to go to a bar, go figure). I had a blast, I'll never forget that trip.
How's everyone else?
Hey Alty
Looks like I may be the only one here , got to work about an hour ago , 2nd cuppa going down well :-)
Nah I'm still here, Just writing down plans and messin with the guitar
Hey M, how are you?
I'm having a lazy day, really lazy actually. I wish I had beer, I could use one. Hmmm, maybe a cola, cola sounds... hmmm, not as good as beer! ;)
Hey Guy, thought you left. How are you? Long time no talk.
Hey Guy , I thought you left as well.
Alty
Alls good in Sydney Australia , it's a bit cold today actually , ah well we are heading into winter. I see you read "What to expect.............."
Yup, for my cousin. That was great M!
What do you consider cold M?
We went to Penticton one year, my hubby and me, before he was my hubby. We were walking downtown, it was around 35 degrees celsius, we were both ready to melt on to the sidewalk.
Along comes a guy, he stops us and starts talking to us, not hard to guess he's from Australia (by the way, love, absolutely LOVE, the accent). Anyway, he asks if the weather is going to get better. We say "Gosh we hope so, this heat wave is killing us.", he looks at us with confusion and says "Heat wave? It's bloody freezing."
Just goes to show what you get used to. Oh, we ended up having dinner with him. Unfortunately the restaurant had air conditioning. Poor guy.
LMAO... great story Alty , and you love the accent too ay. When I was in the States a few years ago I would get people asking me to talk all the time as well :-)
Well today it is 15 celsius , yeah I know , not really that cold compared to the temperatures you guys get. Australia as I'm sure your aware is a very BIG country so the weather really does vary depending on where you live though.
We Canadians are funny. You see, the winter is so cold that 15 degrees seems like summer. The summer is nice and hot, so when it drops to 15 it feels cold. So depending on the season 15 degrees celsius can be either hot or cold. I'm babbling, sorry.
How cold does it get in the winter, in your area?
I'm ashamed to say... if it touches 50F here, I'm cold. :(
Average for winter is probably around 15c but can down to about 5c in the mornings. But generally I suppose we don't really get it too bad.
LOL... sneezy you wimp :-)Quote:

Exact opposite in the summer, last year we had a heat spell for 1 month. 35 degrees or warmer. I was ready to melt. Thank god for air conditioning, but not everyone has it, and in their houses I suffered. Yikes, just remembering it is making me sweat.
Got to go, my cousin just called and left a message, she was crying hysterically.
I'll be back later guys. Be good. Sneezy, grab a blanket. M, keep talking, remember, love the accent. ;)
Later guys.
See you Alty , I'll go sit in my corner.
G'day all! How's everyone?
I guess everyone is giving weather reports, lol
It's 12C here right now (about 50F)... and that's warm now considering our coldest day just a few months ago or so was about -49 with wind chill. Yesterday it got up to 18C, tanning weather, lol.
Although I just heard on the radio that it's suppose to snow for 3 days starting on Thurs! What the heck? Crazy weather! :(
Hey starby
I see you were using your new found skills today , a monster we may have created. Might get to attaching pictures today :-)
LOL,. oh yeah, I 've been an attaching fool all day, hahaha!
I was going to send you those emails that I mentioned, but once I looked I noticed that there wasn't a .com or anything. Well silly me, I guess I could've attached those too, LOL I was getting too tired this morn when trying to do it though... so who knows what the heck you would have ended up getting! :D
No problem , I've just PM'd my email address to you , thanks
I did actually get some work done today though. I knew I had better stay off here for awhile and get my butt in gear and start on some of the bigger arrangements I have to do for a floral contract I have with a contractor for a show home, that needs to be done by months end.
I need to find someone that will let me borrow a ladder though, because the entry-way arrangement is getting too tall for me to reach now, lol
Now I've got flowers scattered everywhere, and Niki keeps on running off with them, LOL
Oh, OK... thanks! :D
How did Starby get so lucky? I am jealous! :) Heehee;)Quote:
