I am having a crappy day and this made me laugh. Forsooth indeed!
And I am actually English although my sentence structure is taking a distinct Wyoming turn for the worse. Mah momma would be so proud!
And Anaamika hands off he is mine ALL mine! Bwahahahahahaha
Besides you have one already - no fair!
I don’t mind sharing, and I never believed one was my limit. 
That’s my plan too. And then return them to their parents as **swampy **suggested. What could be more fun than that?
I think you should share some of that cheesecake with me seeing as I live just across the river and all. Yup, I could definitely use some of that cheesecake! 
I am the worlds bestest & coolest aunt Swampy & Anaamika & taxi I fly in from exotic locations around the world with a bunch of cool stuff take them out, get them on a decent sugar high and hand them back. I am good at that. Oh and noisy presents - I am on a different continent so I can’t hear it.
Man I can’t even get a man over the internet now darn you Anaamika : shakes fist madly :
My life sucks.
Ladies, ladies! No need to push and shove [sub]though you can if you want to[/sub]!
I’m trying to be the Cool Uncle. I visit and draw with the kids. Or we play Snakes and Ladders. Last Christmas us four men (me, my friend, and the fathers of the kids in question) ended up chasing them around the house for an hour.
We almost wore them out…
I* used* to have the duck Winnie, but it got away or sumpin, I dunno.
It was delicious.
I hate you! (In a nice way, of course.)
We didn’t have diseases when I was a kid, we had to sit around the cave and pretend we’d been bitten by dinosaurs, and we liked it!
Glad to see that Bobbio is doing well.
And good surgery to Beck, just do your PT afterwards and you’ll be right as rain in no time.
I notice a couple of folks in here that I don’t recognize, AsecretK and Spiff. Are you guys new, or did you join up while I was “away on assignment”?
See, now you’re just making stuff up. Like when swampy said he was going to Chillycootchie on business.
I did nothing this weekend, stuck inside with a bad case of ennui (scientifical name: Lazybutticus extremous). Thought I’d fought it off, this morning, when I tried to sew me some 'jama pants but my sewing machine wouldn’t work. It’s motor goes but the needle doesn’t which means something with the belt, right? I’ll take it down to the repair place and have it given a tune up, too since it’s never had one and it’s older than I am.
Yay for beckwall! One step closer to being the Terminator is how I see it.
I also have no desire to own a child, they’re strictly rental. I tried to make my neice into a diva but darned if she hasn’t turned out all down to earth and sensible. Feh.
Also, isn’t that supposed to be beer and *cockies * we get from the newbies? I believe I will take seconds on both.
In another thread I mentioned that I’ve never had anything much wrong with me (medical wise, brain wise I’m a nutter. All the voices agree on that one). Just chicken pops when I was five or so. 'Course I waited till we’d gone camping waaaay out in the mountains to get it. Kids plan stuff like that Rue. It’s how they get back at you for that whole no-running-with-scissors thing.
All right, I’ll share my cheesecake with you and **Sunspace ** with ems.
All right, **ems ** can have Sunspace. :: grumble grumble :: Treat him well, ems, or I’ll sic Hal Briston on you! (and one of his cyber-creations.)
Just follow the light… follow the light…
For the record, the chandelier from hell is still hanging in my basement. It deserves a better home. I’m wondering if I should just find a theater group and donate it.
Rue, sorry the kidlets were sick. But look on the bright side - you coulda had 3 little DeDays! :eek:
I’m kinda down - my baby is at the airport. Her plane is way delayed, but she’s going back to Orlando. The week moved way too fast. 
Next time I see her, she’ll probably be 20. My baby - 20? When did that happen?!?
Good luck, Beckwall, and look forward to a more mobile life once it’s all over.
I have had catherters inserted twice - once the lovely, LOVELY people did it once the epidural had taken, and once they stuck it in and then drugged me up. Yuk. How about asking in advance for the procedure to be done once you are numb?
Good wishes are being sent your way!
I was talking with the Girl tonight, mostly about soccer and whether she wanted to play for a particular team. She asked me if we could have the television off for most of the afternoons because “…when it’s on it draws me over and I just feel like lying on the couch and don’t get anything done, like playing outside…” I was so proud of her for seeing the consequences of television and proposing a solution (at first she wanted to totally get rid of the tv, which also may not be a bad idea). Anyway, I thought it was terribly astute for a nine year old. FWIW, she never had the Fifth disease although her little brother did.
Contrary to popular rumour, I’m still h’round.
I’m just busy (lazy),
no, busy (no, really, really lazy)
shaddup! (Why? Who’s gonna make me?)
I mean it! (ooooooooooh, I’m sooooo scared!)
I’m warnin’ you! Ow! (hah, y’didn’t see that coming! Ya big girly-man!)
Yeah? Well let’s see you type without that finger! (OUCH!)
heh heh heh (yzou oiuto oi!!!) bleed bleed.
um… I’ll post, really I will, got so much t’report! There was our StarWars dress-ups, and the Orang Menyak (that’s a spooky one which makes me cry ‘WAAAAAH-bullshit!’) and Dukes of Hazzard and the upcoming Danger family trip to parts unknown!
Coming up on the next, thrilling post! Stay tuned, we’ll be riiiight back!
And while gene is writing that post, I’ll tap dance in for a moment and proclaim: survived the friendly get-together I hosted tonight. House wasn’t perfect, but good enough. Still have laundry to do.
Seems like I’ve heard of Fifth Disease, but maybe it’s just the repetition in today’s MMP.
beckwall, good luck with the surgery. (Does this mean we won’t be able to call you “poodle hips” anymore?) Hope you have a speedy recovery and return to the MMP.
Shibb, your daughter is scary (in a really good way). My niece is a bit older and is convince the earth was placed around her with an obligation to entertain her. Drives me nuts.
merrily, I’m jealous about the Serenity tickets.
Got sunburned watching the nephew play t-ball on Saturday (is that how you spell it?). Did you know you can get sunburned even if it’s completely cloudy? Well, I knew that, but did I think about it? It was fun to watch though.
Well…it’s past my bedtime and I’ve got work stuff to read for tomorrow morning. I’m thinking I’ll sleep first, read later.
And now…heeeeere’s dangergene!!!
(No, really, he’s here somewhere…::checks desks, looks behind furniture, looks in all the obscure nooks and crannies:: )
GT
That’s.
Not.
Funny.
Why, oh why did I think it was a good idea to stay up way past my bedtime to watch MIBII??? I mean I saw it in the theater when it came out so it’s not like it was something new to me. And now I’m all real tired and want to go back to bed but I can’t cause I’m at work. It’s that darn Frank in the movie. He’s so cute and cracks me up. I can’t resist him. He actually kept the movie afloat IMHO as it wasn’t nearly as good as the original. Bet I’m in bed early tonite.
My team was supposed to go out for barbacue for lunch today. Team leader said “don’t bring your lunch cause we’re gonna go celebrate blahbiddy blah.” So this morning he sends and e-mail sayin’ he has to go to the doc and will be in this afternoon. Good thing I trust him about as far as you can throw a Budweiser Clydesdale and brought my Lean Cuisine anyway. So there! 
rue, just cause you had sick kids over the weekend doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about the PUPPY PICTURES!!!
gene? gene who? Hmmmm, somebody who used to post here but has ABANDONED US maybe???
Tupug Le Tired
Haven’t you ever noticed that Orange Julius tastes exactly like St. Joseph baby aspirin? I guess that’s why I’m addicted to them.

A dangergene post! Woohoo! Now if we can just lure Kalley back in.
I live such an exciting life. Last night it was a vestry meeting. We discussed repairs to the church belfry. I did not know, until last night, that the belfry is 100 feet off the ground. I knew it was way up there but didn’t know how high. I also learned that the capitol funds campaign has raised about 600K for the new building. That was good. We may yet break ground at the new location this fall. Today, I have to go to Camilla for a regional board meeting, followed by a fish fry which work is helping to sponsor. I am responsible for the transporting and icing down of beer and wine. My job is so hard sometimes! That’s a job duty cause I have a truck.
ACBG has meetings tomorrow and Thursday and I have to go do a fundraiser thingy on Friday night. It’s like the world is conspiring to keep us apart. We’re gonna meet for dinner tomorrow. That’s prolly gonna be the only time we see each other til the weekend. That’s sad.
I also will be tortur…err… testing Wednesday through Friday this week. Dang busy week! Oh well, keeps me off the streets. It hasn’t rained in almost 24 hours! Let’s hope that holds out for the weekend. I wanna spend Saturday and Sunday doin’ nuttin’ but sippin’ libations while floating around in the pool. I need that.
So, how’s everybody else’s life?
Busy, busy, busy…that’s how my life is. It never stops, and I just can’t seem to get off this spinny thingy. I still need to go to the store and get that tanning lotion for the daughter and a wrap to go with her formal. Tomorrow I have a doctor appointment, and the 16th is the award ceremony where my daughter (along with several other students) will be recognized. I’m so proud of her! I still don’t know what kind of award or how many she’s receiving.
I also just have tons of errands and to-do list types of things to do. I need to relax, but I don’t have time.
Not only do I have to take part of the 20th off to see the son get awarded at school, I need to take off part of the 22nd because he’s going to receive a Presidential Award on that day. Beaming parent moment here! I’m so proud of him. I’m just bursting at the seams here!
Today the daughter and a group of other students are being treated to a day at Wild Waves (an amusement/water park run by Six Flags) because of her grades at school. So, she’s wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I asked where her bathing suit and shorts were and I got the :dubious: and then :rolleyes: look from her. She’s not going to play in the water because she doesn’t want anyone to see her funky tan lines from the wetsuit. My response? :dubious: :rolleyes: I told her no one cares about the tan lines, but apparently she does. Whatever…
We’ve also made reservations at SunBanks Resort for the 14th and 15th of July. We looked at renting cabins there, but they were all reserved. So, we’re tenting it, but our campsite is right on the water. This lake is 27 miles long, so we should be able to get plenty of skiing and stuff done. It’s located in Eastern Washington which means it will be veddy, veddy HOT and sunny. We’re really gonna have to slather the sunscreen on!
I have a few big projects I need to get started here at work so I guess I better get going…for now.
I don’t have a rash, but I do have a couple of scratch marks. I was lying in bed, and the puppydog (actually, she’s 4, but she’s still my little baby) came waltzing in, jumped on the bed, and woke me up. I apparently wasn’t being interesting enough, because she started pawing at me. At my chest, to be exact. With sharp claws. Felt like she was trying to perform a masectomy or something. I was not amused.
In other news, I’m done with high school! However, this means that a college physical was in order. So I went to my appointment yesterday, and after spending 45 minutes knitting in the waiting room (why do they schedule appointments for a certain time, anyway, if they never call you back when your appointment is?), they determined several important things:
Yea! Now I’m ready for that college thing…
Is DG insulting men or women? Or is this an equal-opportunity insult?
I had to take Flurry the ferret in for a melatonin implant, so I took in Stony the ferret also, since he hasn’t been his usual Tasmanian Devil on Cappacino.
Stony weighs 2, maybe 2 1/2, pounds.
It took *two of us * to hold him down so the doctor could take his temp. :eek:
Needless to say, he felt violated. He also asked if he could get a barbed wire tattoo on his ear (the only place he has skin showing). By the way, his tests came back fine–he probably just had Fifth Ferret Disease or something else transitory. He is okay again.
Tupug, I’m with you: We are not distracted, and want
puppy pictures!
