The 13th Official Random Discussion for TPBM (Back-To-School Edition)

[short5]

the cheerleaders had a fund raiser at the fair...a dunk tank...I got a good burst sequence.:DOh please tell me it is dunked cheerleader.

Hi Becky isn't it past your bed time?

[thomascanty]

Maureen McCormick was in Skatetown USA with Scott Baio.

Scott Baio was in Happy Days with Ron Howard.

Ron Howard directed Kevin Bacon in Apollo 13.

Is that close enough? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I might be able to get there in fewer steps. Hal (Anson's dad) was a writer for TV and movies (and a novel or two).

[Becky N]

a ceramic John Deere cookie jar, which we all wholeheartedly agreed was an appropriate vessel for the ashes. By the way, he was also a big fan of cookies. :D

Very appropriate.

Is Caitlin home? Or on the way?

[cfpackerfan]

Good Evening Everyone :D
(((((((Jim))))))) It's good to see you. I can imagine how emotional of a day it was for you.
I liked the John Deere cookie jar story. :D Thanks for sharing that with us.


*Splllllllurpt* Ah, free at last...Niters all. Thanks Donder for the party digs, good to meet you.
Night Becky.

And a thought just occurred to me. If we are hanging at the shack, we are the Donder Party. :shock: Dude. Hide your excess limbs. :lol: :shock:

[Becky N]

Oh please tell me it is dunked cheerleader.

Hi Becky isn't it past your bed time?

It is.

And yes, but; when I get started on a project like that I don't stop until it is finished...and now I really must go to bed.

[BearLeeAlive]

oh Jim, I didn't know the funeral was today. *hugs*

Hi Jim *hugs* Thank you for sharing those memories with us! Your dad sounds like he was a life-loving person.
He left a wonderful legacy in you and your family :D

Very appropriate.

Is Caitlin home? Or on the way?
Thanks guys. Caitlin gets home next weekend. I guess I will be having at least one more emotional day. She was the first grandchild he knew, so was kinda high on the favourites scale.

[misspix]

And a thought just occurred to me. If we are hanging at the shack, we are the Donder Party. :shock: Dude. Hide your excess limbs. :lol: :shock:
I was just craving arm......:lol::lol:

[3Turner]

Good Evening Everyone :D

Please forgive me, as I don't think I will ever be able to catch up, though like a little kid, I did look at all the pictures. :D

Dad's funeral was today, hopefully the last big day of an emotional ride. Giving Dad's eulogy was the first time in my life I spoke to 300+ people. I should have never started out mentioning how sorely Catlin was missed by me, and the rest of the family. I was weak, and it was tough getting back on track. It was also very moving and heartwarming to see so many people come out to pay tribute to Dad. Not sure if I mentioned it, but he retired at 55, 23 years ago and since then has put in at least 30 hrs a week doing various volunteer work. On a warmer note regarding Dad, he owned a John Deere dealership he built into a huge success, which led my brother Mark to bringing home an urn he found at a local automotive store. It was a ceramic John Deere cookie jar, which we all wholeheartedly agreed was an appropriate vessel for the ashes. By the way, he was also a big fan of cookies. :D
Hi Jim. Great story about your Dad. Thanks for sharing.

If I can get my feet unstuck from the this sticky floor, I have to head out, long day tomorrow.

*Adds to grocery list - - bulk cleaning supplies*

*Splllllllurpt* Ah, free at last...Niters all. Thanks Donder for the party digs, good to meet you.
Night Becky.

That's not me, DUH. It's a snapshot I got from the invisi-cam I put in your bathroom mirror. :p
Hmmm....are you sure about that? http://ganjataz.com/smileys/01-grayball/images/grayball-intent.gif
I pick my nose while I'm typing :|.:lol::lol: Wait...that didn't come out right.

[short5]

Good Evening Everyone :D

Hi Jim that sounds like a rough day:( Thanks for sharing it with us. I like the urn idea:)

[BearLeeAlive]

(((((((Jim))))))) It's good to see you. I can imagine how emotional of a day it was for you.
I liked the John Deere cookie jar story. :D Thanks for sharing that with us.
Thanks Cat, it is good to be back here, it seems like forever, though just a few days. :D

[Permagrin]

Thanks guys. Caitlin gets home next weekend. I guess I will be having at least one more emotional day. She was the first grandchild he knew, so was kinda high on the favourites scale.

poor little...that's going to be so hard :(

[misspix]

Hmmm....are you sure about that? http://ganjataz.com/smileys/01-grayball/images/grayball-intent.gif
I pick my nose while I'm typing :|.:lol::lol: Wait...that didn't come out right.
GAAAAAAAAA! Coffee burns coming out the nose :lol: :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

And you have been missed, Jim.

[misspix]

poor little...that's going to be so hard :(
My thinking, too :(

[Permagrin]

GAAAAAAAAA! Coffee burns coming out the nose :lol: :lol:

there are better ways to filter coffee...just sayin'

[BearLeeAlive]

Hi Jim that sounds like a rough day:( Thanks for sharing it with us. I like the urn idea:)
It was a darn site more fitting the the cheap $400 ones the funeral home had, and at $25 I know Dad would be (or is) pleased with our decision.

[misspix]

And you have been missed, Jim.
Muchly.

[3Turner]

GAAAAAAAAA! Coffee burns coming out the nose :lol: :lol:Why you drinkin' coffee so late sheesh.

[3Turner]

It was a darn site more fitting the the cheap $400 ones the funeral home had, and at $25 I know Dad would be (or is) pleased with our decision.
And it holds a higher sentimental value that an urn from the funeral home.

[BearLeeAlive]

poor little...that's going to be so hard :(
Yeppers, but it is all a part of life.

[misspix]

there are better ways to filter coffee...just sayin'
:lol: Yeah, well, I'm always up for the untraditional :lol:

[short5]

It was a darn site more fitting the the cheap $400 ones the funeral home had, and at $25 I know Dad would be (or is) pleased with our decision.

That is fantastic!!

Leyla and I want to be mixed and spread.

[misspix]

Why you drinkin' coffee so late sheesh.
Duh. So I can sleep :rolleyes:

[BearLeeAlive]

And it holds a higher sentimental value that an urn from the funeral home.
Oh, most definitely. The funeral director actually suggested holding off buying one and to look for something appropriate if we wanted.

[thomascanty]

Hi Jim. Welcome back!

And a thought just occurred to me. If we are hanging at the shack, we are the Donder Party. :shock: Dude. Hide your excess limbs. :lol: :shock:

Did you ever watch the Animaniacs? There was one episode with a Pinky & the Brain skit where they went to the North Pole to meet Santa. While they were there, Pinky got invited to a holiday party by Donner, but the Brain said he didn't want to go to anything called the Donner Party...

[misspix]

*swoon*

Nicolas Cage has a new movie coming out...

*swoon*

[BearLeeAlive]

Leyla and I want to be mixed and spread.
You would provide nourishment to good ol' Mother Earth. :D

[cfpackerfan]

That is fantastic!!

Leyla and I want to be mixed and spread.

Awwww! That is so sweet.

[Permagrin]

well, my head is losing the battle again so I'm going to sign off. g'night kids.

[BearLeeAlive]

So, is there any good juicy stuff that I missed in the last while? :D

[3Turner]

That sounds comforting right now....sleep....I think I am gonna give in.

Night all.

[BearLeeAlive]

Sleep tight Lisa. :D

[BearLeeAlive]

We are not sure exactly what we will do with Dad's ashes, whatever my Mom decides will be good with us.

Bangkok Dangerous (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814022/)

I have no idea what it is about. Nor do I care :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Becky is posting dirty pictures. I'll let Zane tell you the rest.
I missed that. I did see Renee (I guess I should say Raquel) flaunting cleavage. I believe a gauntlet has been thrown..........:p

[BearLeeAlive]

Yes there was her ass and a few cocks.
LMAO, I think I'm getting the picture. :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

I posted some pics of Marian and I in Vegas. Did you see those?

[misspix]

I missed that. I did see Renee (I guess I should say Raquel) flaunting cleavage. I believe a gauntlet has been thrown..........:p
:rolleyes::lol::p

[short5]

Oh Jim did you see Cat bought Marian a boy magnet of a car?

[cfpackerfan]

Oh Jim did you see Cat bought Marian a boy magnet of a car?:p :evil:

[cfpackerfan]

Oh.. and I did NOT buy her a car. She bought her own car. :p
If I ever have to make a payment, the car is mine for the 30 days I paid for. ;)

[JWright]

it is...awful!

It's still 82 degrees in my office, but a very pleasant 71 outside. I think that big CRT monitor really heats up the room. I've been spending more time on the laptop in the living room because it's cooler.

Oh...I forgot to mention too Becky, I liked that ass shot so much I just wanted to pet it. :lol:

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Twidget...never heard of either anyway, but when you explained one, I was just curious about the other and could not remember the term after I had pushed quote.

It may be these "terms" aren't used much anymore. Remember, I've been retired longer than I was in the Navy (1985).

[short5]

Oh.. and I did NOT buy her a car. She bought her own car. :p
If I ever have to make a payment, the car is mine for the 30 days I paid for. ;)Nice!

[cfpackerfan]

I can't believe that we've put almost 500 posts in here today already. :lol:

[misspix]

Oh.. and I did NOT buy her a car. She bought her own car. :p
If I ever have to make a payment, the car is mine for the 30 days I paid for. ;)
I like the way you think :)
I can't believe that we've put almost 500 posts in here today already. :lol:
SOME of us have a lot to say :rolleyes: :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

I posted some pics of Marian and I in Vegas. Did you see those?
Yes I did, you all looked gorgeous. Marian looked especially beautiful in that dress she wore.
Oh Jim did you see Cat bought Marian a boy magnet of a car?
I did see that. Would now be an appropriate time to describe how to make a rear seat more.....well, usable ? ;) :p
Oh.. and I did NOT buy her a car. She bought her own car. :p

Cool, so then you get the boy magnet for a while, eh? :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Cool, so then you get the boy magnet for a while, eh? :lol: you betcha. I've been loving it the last few days. I open the sunroof, put in some thumpin music and pretend I'm a teenager. :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

My back seat is typically full of stuff - I think I have had someone in my back seat once, maybe twice.... and I was in the drivers seat so don't get any bad ideas ;-)

[cfpackerfan]

I'll leave you with a shot of my innocent little girl.

It may be these "terms" aren't used much anymore. Remember, I've been retired longer than I was in the Navy (1985).

I got out in 1982 (not retired, though), and I don't remember hearing either of those terms until now.

[Permagrin]

It may be these "terms" aren't used much anymore. Remember, I've been retired longer than I was in the Navy (1985).

snipe was still used when Dan was in...I've never heard the other though.

Yeah, I see the prob - well, there will be other times (like the fall)

[Permagrin]

SHEESH! your still awake Permie?

I'm trying not to be. Round 2 for me now :)

G'night again.

[CrazieCricket]

Wow! That is like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon!Wow! You guys were talking sociology and I missed it!


I can get to Kevin Bacon through Jude Law pretty quickly
Met JL in New Orleans
JL wwas in Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks
TH was in Apollo 13 with KB

Then, my ex is in the industry and has worked on films with several who have worked with KB.

I used to love doing small world experiment stuff with my students.

*dons rubber gloves, carries in cleaning tote and mop bucket*

Not too bad, I've seen worse.:D


Thanks guys. Caitlin gets home next weekend. I guess I will be having at least one more emotional day. She was the first grandchild he knew, so was kinda high on the favourites scale.

Had the wrong Friday in mind, Jim. That will be a tough moment, I'll be thinking of you. Your strong family ties will get you through the tough times. This first year is the worst, glad you have lots of good memories, family and friends to bring all through.

Oh, most definitely. The funeral director actually suggested holding off buying one and to look for something appropriate if we wanted.

Good, I've heard horror stories how some in the business are the pushiest sales folks you'd ever care to meet. Glad to hear of the good ones, which most probably are, truth be told.

Leyla and I want to be mixed and spread.

Kewl.

Becky is posting dirty pictures. I'll let Zane tell you the rest.

:p:lol: Hey now, don't make me type in UPPERCASE. ;)

Yes there was her ass and a few cocks.

:p:p:lol:

Oh.. and I did NOT buy her a car. She bought her own car.
If I ever have to make a payment, the car is mine for the 30 days I paid for.

I like that rule.

awwyou betcha. I've been loving it the last few days. I open the sunroof, put in some thumpin music and pretend I'm a teenager.

I did that when I came home from Starlight rehearsals.

WU - another beauty.

ALL Wall Decorators - BEAUTIFUL SHOTS!

G'MAE all.

*Busily finishes cleaning up* as I have several errands this morning including prints to order and pick up.

[reneethomas]

:lol: :lol: :lol: And we're all talking to the same person. :lol: :lol: :lol:

LOL you all crack me up!! :p

[mtnphtgrphr]

G'MAE All!!!! Be thinking of Dan (and his wife) today. It's the Leicster Art Guild Studio (http://www.cometoleicester.com/) tour today. They are both participating and it starts in 5 min! They were both very very busy when I left them yesterday!!!

You guys can call me Donders (my last name). Its what everyone calls me.

Even my mom calls me Donders -- that freaks people out.

Hey Donders! I have a friend who's last name is Dover and that's what everyone calls him hehehe

Erm you don't use CPR to "unchoke", just saying

Ummm.. in unconcious choking... you do. I have been a certified CPR/First Aid/AED instructor since 1999. Things have CHANGED so much!!! But for an infant/child/adult who is no longer conscious and has a blocked airway you perform chest compressions inorder to potentially dislodge a foriegn object.... I do all the CPR/FA training for my employer for our child care staff.

LO...HEY!


:lol:

Yeah, when the dummy's head popped off I think we all new that rescue work was not my forte :o

:shock: I've taught for years... and NEVER had that happen... My mom taught for most of my childhood and I attended her classes with her (I became an assitant instructor as soon as I could read well enough to take the test! hehehehe) And NEVER seen that happen. We're talking 20 years here.... WOW! :shock:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/cfpackerfan/smilies/BigB.gif

hehehehe Stolen!

lol! I'm gonna get a t-shirt to wear for our next meeting...
If I'm choking, please call someone (anyone) else for help:lol:

hehehehehe

Good call

Maybe I should get one that says:

I will attempt to save your life at your own risk

hehehehehe I'm seriously tickled at this hehehehe

Good Evening Everyone

Please forgive me, as I don't think I will ever be able to catch up, though like a little kid, I did look at all the pictures. :D

So glad to see you Jim! Sounds like even though it was a sad day that it was laced with humor and love. Humor is what got my family through losing my grandmother last year! You guys are still in my thoughts!!!

[Miniflash]

Gmae fine friends
Jim so glad your doing ok and know we will help you as much as our humor can to make the future days go better for you :) I love the choice of the cookie jar its perfect ~
I had no time to catch up just wanted to say Hi and let you know I'll be back later I'm sure when things calm down , I'm off to see the Dadford and Mum I need to give them as much love as possible for my own sake :)
The nephews still sleeping ..loland its 1030 am ..hahaha ..:rolleyes:
Enjoy this day ..see ya soon XXXOOO~~~just practicing :lol:

[reneethomas]

[BearLeeAlive]

Good, I've heard horror stories how some in the business are the pushiest sales folks you'd ever care to meet. Glad to hear of the good ones, which most probably are, truth be told.
They were quite good, and not pushy at all, making sure we got what we wanted, and for the great service they provide, being willing to take care of any detail we wanted, often without additional cost, it was worth the cost.
So glad to see you Jim! Sounds like even though it was a sad day that it was laced with humor and love. Humor is what got my family through losing my grandmother last year! You guys are still in my thoughts!!!
Hi Jen, thanks. We were able to interject lots of humour into the last while. Music too was a great help, we played and sang lots of songs. :D

Sign said Alpaca, but; I wouldn't know, it isn't a cow, that I'm sure about.:DYep - alpaca who's just had a shearing . . .

WaWa iced tea is so tasty!!!Where (answered)

Are you in MD? The last time I saw a WaWa was in Columbia.That's pretty much as far South as they've reached yet.

Nope I get it when I go down to my beach house in Toms River, NJ.

WaWa iced tea is pretty much sweet tea, but from WaWa (a chain gas/food place) found in South Jersey and lower, down towards MD.

Umm, about me, hmmm. I am a 20-year old male college student. I go to Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken - studying Comp Engineering. Picked up my XTi a few months ago and have been shooting a lot with it. Love computers and stuff like that.

I am pretty much a nerd.Wawa is a village outside Philadelphia and about 3 mi. from where I grew up. That's where the original dairy was located.

Yes she is Lisa.How did you know her name?

which, btw, make very pretty vomit in the snow....TMI!!!

Erm you don't use CPR to "unchoke", just sayingThought they threw in a quick intro to Heimlich Maneuver as part of the course . .

[BearLeeAlive]

Hiya Deb. :D
I forgot to take a camera, but one of my brothers who stayed at moms last night is going to take a shot of the urn and I will post it here. I truly believe my Dad would proudly wear a big grin of happy pride knowing where his ashes rest. :D

[3Turner]

Morning folks. Busy day planned. Going to see Clone Wars at the movies, a birthday party, maybe some yard work if it don't rain and then perhaps when its all said and done, play some poker tonight with some coworkers.

Cool, so then you get the boy magnet for a while, eh? :lol: It may for for Cat better to be a boy magnet than put on some cologne again and try to get some beautiful girls.

Wow...Wu-tastic shot! :D

[Skrim17]

(((Jim))) glad most of it is over, Caitlin will understand despite the emotions of it all. I liked your urn choice, read the post to Billy and we had a nice giggle.

I like those 6 degrees things too. I went to HS with Kyra Sedgewick, she's married to KB! I also met him in central park before they got together, he was walking two beautiful golden retrievers that I wanted to pet, had no idea who he was. He was on some soap opera at the time.

[BearLeeAlive]

Thanks Crissa, glad you could get a laugh outta the urn. :D

[CrazieCricket]

Good Morning all!!! Think this will be mostly an indoor day for me, (it's so darn hot outside). Birthday Party indoors, shopping (ICK) indoors, nap indoors..........:D

[reneethomas]

Sounds like you have an exciting day planned ;). Hopefully taking pictures somewhere indoors too?

[reneethomas]

Jim BIG HUG to you!! What a sweet posting about your Dad. I love what you chose for an urn!!

[Permagrin]

G'morning :)

*dons rubber gloves, carries in cleaning tote and mop bucket*

*Busily finishes cleaning up* as I have several errands this morning including prints to order and pick up.

ooh, looks nice in here!


Wuudles, I lost your fleur but very nice.
Have you got your camera back yet?

[wu_wei0]

G'morning :)



ooh, looks nice in here!


Wuudles, I lost your fleur but very nice.
Have you got your camera back yet?Nope. The tracking at Canon says it's done but not shipped. I'm guessing Thursday or Friday. Of Course, this weekend was a big balloon fest, one of the state fairs and a few other things that might have been fun to test the repair. And it is COOL here for once! It's almost 11 and still not 80 degrees yet. wow!

[Permagrin]

Nice on the weather though. I shut off the ac in the livingroom last night and came out of my nice cool room to an 80 degree house! :shock: It just hasn't cooled off here at all these last several days. It's horrible.

[Permagrin]

I'm kind of excited because Little River Band is going to be at ours on Sat. too...so it ought to be enjoyable :)


TERRI, here's the schedule if you are thinking of coming up

Sounds like you have an exciting day planned ;). Hopefully taking pictures somewhere indoors too?
I've been wondering what I can take pics of indoors, because after a long week of no picture taking I NEED to. I know I'll be taking lots of pics tomorrow, but that doesn't help me out today!!!Guess I'll have to get creative with something around the house. :D

[CrazieCricket]

[cfpackerfan]

Good morning all. :D

Permie, how's your headache?

[Permagrin]

Good morning all. :D

Permie, how's your headache?

G'morning feline friend!

Actually it's gone today. (YAY) We froze our bedroom last night (it was 66 when I got up) and I woke up with a clear head. Walked out into the 80 degree living room and thought I was gonna die...but still no headache thankfully. It's not even tender today so I'm hoping for the best.

[cfpackerfan]

That's good to hear!
And I LOVE sleeping in a cold cold room.

[cfpackerfan]

Anyone up for a couple furkid rants this morning?

I went out to the garden this morning with my macro because Tev told me that there was a praying mantis on the sunflowers.
I didn't get any good ones of him or the bees, so I ended up with these. :lol:

Renee, when he was a wee thing, he had gorgeous blue/green eyes.

[calledthestig]

I see everyone else is awake!

[cfpackerfan]

I see everyone else is awake!Well some of us anyway, :lol:

Becky came with her mop and left already.

[Jamie Holladay]

g'MAE

Everyone sit down.

[mtnphtgrphr]

Well here's a couple I'll share.... :D

[thomascanty]

The Vadernator:

VADER!!!!! We haven't seen any pics of Vader in a long time! :D

[cfpackerfan]

g'MAE

Everyone sit down.

Sitting. Which is weird. I usually stand at my computer desk. :rolleyes: :p

[cfpackerfan]

Jen, those are beautiful! I want to see more!

[Jamie Holladay]

Or small furry, multi armed, militant, carnivorous creatures from Cyntak-6? Cuz, really, there's just no talking with those guys.
I have one of those working with me.
Tang, duh, astronauts drink it.
Exactly
DEB! I never noticed your title!
Oh that is funny.
WaWa iced tea is so tasty!!!
Sweat tea north of the M&D :shock:
What is WaWa iced tea? Is that anything like Sweet tea that our resident Alabamian seems to think is the nectar of the gods?

:lol:

So, Stig, tell us a bit about you. :D
Welcome Stig
isn't this little one cute?


Very nice
who's Jamie's broom boy? Pete?
I'll never tell but he has big feet.
I knew something was funny about him.
:evil:
Jamie (or Pete) :mrgreen:


or Becky if she gets anxiety over the mess
That'd be me.
Jamies broom boy

*tosses water balloon filled with whip cream*
HEY you stop that.:evil:
Holy canoli!! Who left the poster behind? We have to have something to replace that leg lamp garsh darnit!!

The gurls left it. You best leave the leg lamp in the landfill :evil:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/cfpackerfan/smilies/BigB.gif
OMG Did you get?

[Jamie Holladay]

Sitting. Which is weird. I usually stand at my computer desk. :rolleyes: :p
smarty britches.

[cfpackerfan]

Sweat tea north of the M&D :shock:
Gross.

[Jamie Holladay]

Gross.
:rolleyes:

[Mgdh]

Yes you do.

Oh wait....

Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?

For the walls:


Just to prove that I do other things than doodle....

Fantastic stuff, Dan. Great rant.

Dan here are the shots that your second picture from the Pow-Wow reminded me of...

Continuing with the Fowl Rant...


Great 'Fowl Rant' Becky.

Nice cock Becky :D

http://newquay-plus.co.uk/POTN/smilies/rotfl.gif

Becky, LURVE the punk rock chikins!

Dan- those were wonderful shots. Number two might be my fave.

WElcome to the new home, y'all.

WU!!!!!!!
Hiya!

I don't know if I have ever showed off any of my eye candy

This entire bracelet is completely soldered and takes me over 40+ hours to make


Wow. Those look gorgeous, Renee. And that is some crazy amount of soldering :shock:

WaWa iced tea is pretty much sweet tea, but from WaWa (a chain gas/food place) found in South Jersey and lower, down towards MD.

Umm, about me, hmmm. I am a 20-year old male college student. I go to Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken - studying Comp Engineering. Picked up my XTi a few months ago and have been shooting a lot with it. Love computers and stuff like that.

I am pretty much a nerd.

And by choosing The Stig as your alter ego, I'd guess you're a bit of a car nut, too ???

[Jamie Holladay]

I forgot in my MMQ:
Cool TR,
Nice Indians, animals, cocks & childrens.

[short5]

Ummm.. in unconcious choking... you do. I have been a certified CPR/First Aid/AED instructor since 1999. Things have CHANGED so much!!! But for an infant/child/adult who is no longer conscious and has a blocked airway you perform chest compressions inorder to potentially dislodge a foriegn object.... I do all the CPR/FA training for my employer for our child care staff.



I stand corrected.

I'll have to get creative with something around the house. :DGot a mirror?

Anyone up for a couple furkid rants this morning?

Wow Vader grew into a beautiful cat. I love his gold eyes they are like Twink's(I miss Wanda). I bet he wishes he was a short hair in your heat.



(Zane, no comments on the grass. It will be replaced this coming spring.)I am impressed you have grass. I think of you living on rocks and sand.

[JWright]

I got out in 1982 (not retired, though), and I don't remember hearing either of those terms until now.

snipe was still used when Dan was in...I've never heard the other though.

Remember that I joined the Navy before most of you were born... Anyone under the age of 43, anyway...

*dons rubber gloves, carries in cleaning tote and mop bucket*

Not too bad, I've seen worse.:D

Stand back, I've got the firehose...

That is fantastic!!

Leyla and I want to be mixed and spread.

I've told Heather to flush me down the garbage disposal...

[calledthestig]

:rolleyes:

Wawa iced tea is amazing.


Sweat tea north of the M&D :shock:

Welcome Stig


Truth and thanks! :D

[thomascanty]

Stand back, I've got the firehose...

You get to drink from the fire hose!!! Name that movie...

I've told Heather to flush me down the garbage disposal...

I want my ashes scattered from the summit of some mountain (either Mount Islip or White Mountain Peak). But, if that doesn't happen, I don't really care, either.

[Jamie Holladay]

Wawa iced tea is amazing.



Truth and thanks! :D
Milo's here.

[cfpackerfan]

Wow Vader grew into a beautiful cat. I love his gold eyes they are like Twink's(I miss Wanda). I bet he wishes he was a short hair in your heat. He stays outside most of the time.. he loves my garden. He can come in anytime he wants to, so he must not mind the heat much.
And I miss Wanda too.

I am impressed you have grass. I think of you living on rocks and sand. :lol: :lol:

[mtnphtgrphr]

Jen, those are beautiful! I want to see more!

Thanks Cat!!! Here's more as ypu requested!

I stand corrected.

New remember everyone we must not all fall out over the result of the final Finn Class Race at the Olympics tomorrow. For Ben Ainslie (British) to win he has to ensure that Zach Railey (American) finished no more than 4 places above him. He will do that by getting in his way and preventing him getting into turns or even picking up any wind. THIS IS NOT PERSONAL ! It's the way the game is played :-)

P.S I don't fancy the chances of any up and coming 100 meters runners for the next few years.

[Skrim17]

nice shots Jen, the road looks a tad purplish on that second to last one.

I'll send Wanda everyone's regards, we were in an email frenzy yesterday!

[Mgdh]

Too late. Party at Stigs shack!

Darn - I always miss the parties...

who's Jamie's broom boy? Pete?

:lol::lol::lol:

I'm turning into a sunday on a friday. Is it because I'm in church clothes? *groan*

GAAAAAaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

*groan*

Don't quit your day job...

GROAN

But did you and he together ever have dinner with Beth's mom who was twin sister's with Alice?


:lol::confused::confused::lol:

[cfpackerfan]

Hi Mark. :D

[calledthestig]

Darn - I always miss the parties...


Everyone was just throwing stuff around like some sort of food fight. That's what I get for opening my big mouth though. :lol:

[Permagrin]

OMG :o I can't believe I'm admitting I know this: UHF


IF my sis outlives me, I will be mixed with terra cotta and made into a birdbath/sundial. If my kids don't want me, they can donate me to the American Craft Counsel.

[Skrim17]

lol Lisa!

[thomascanty]

OMG :o I can't believe I'm admitting I know this: UHF

http://www.ldphotography.net/Smilies/rotfl.gif You got it!

[wu_wei0]

http://www.ldphotography.net/Smilies/rotfl.gif You got it! I'm afraid I've seen it more than once.

[Permagrin]

gah. I'm tired. I just cleaned my house. It's been so hot here (or we've been gone) so I haven't done it in ages (with just Dan and I it wasn't too bad but there were things that were making me crazy so I HAD to do it). I turned the ac's on mega cold and then "turned to". I'm hot & tired but yay it's DONE!

[Mgdh]

(((((((Jim))))))) It's good to see you. I can imagine how emotional of a day it was for you.
I liked the John Deere cookie jar story. :D Thanks for sharing that with us.


{{{Jim}}} http://newquay-plus.co.uk/POTN/smilies/yeahthat.jpg

there are better ways to filter coffee...just sayin'

http://newquay-plus.co.uk/POTN/smilies/rotfl.gifhttp://newquay-plus.co.uk/POTN/smilies/rotfl.gif

Wow early morning for me.

Got up ready to start cleaning?

Anyone up for a couple furkid rants this morning?


Great rants, Cat!

g'MAE

Everyone sit down.

Why? something about to happ...

I have one of those working with me.


...Oh wow! Jamie did a MMQ catchup!!!!

Hi Mark. :D

Hi Cat *waves*

Everyone was just throwing stuff around like some sort of food fight. That's what I get for opening my big mouth though. :lol:

You'll learn soon ;) Nice digs, though.

[Mgdh]

And with that, for the first time in ages - I'm caught up (no, I'm not counting thread #12 - if I ever do manage to go back in there and finish it)

[Mgdh]

Ooo. Can I manage my first 'Threeeeeeee' in the new thread???

Edit - YAY

[Permagrin]

WTG Mark :) When I'm gone for a while, I find it quite impossible to catch up and keep my sanity at the same time :lol:
