Morning, to you. sounds like you couldn't count all the cars in the ditch this time!

Hey Adam... I just saw on reuters, that they had a set of pics from your town. some are from a lot earlier this year, you really should get out and show us more. :)
Linky (http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/rpSlideshows?articleId=USRTXASTX#a=1)

aaahhhh, Fridays.... gotta love em.

oh and I forgot to mention last night after I did the dishes, I washed up our newest batch of Legos from the thrift store :D W00T!

[sevillafox]

What another crappy drive! We where not meant to drive on ice... even with $380 freaking snow/ice tires :(

Good morning by the way.

Lol...probably true

Good morning folks. It was another rough night with sick little men but I'm still alive. :lol: I'm thinking that I am SO going to go to bed when they do tonight especially since Corey is out of town hunting all weekend.

[Michael_Lambert]

Yes i could not count the cars this morning.. Little tired.

UP at 4am for a dip in the lake and then tried to get my gear off and packed up before it froze to my butt :D Then i was late getting to work and the highway was like a sheet of black ice.. at time we where doing 20km and still sliding cause the road goes on a bank in some of the turns.

[gjl711]

Hello all..
What another crappy drive! We where not meant to drive on ice... even with $380 freaking snow/ice tires :(

Good morning by the way.Sorry about your crappy drive. They can be so frustrating. I know mine are yet to come. And ever since they outlawed the spiked tires here in Illinois, there is no tire that can deal with ice. Nasty stuff.

..Hey Adam... I just saw on reuters, that they had a set of pics from your town. some are from a lot earlier this year, you really should get out and show us more. :) ...What a photogenic place. :)

You are nuts! My parents have done some ice diving in the past and it never failed to make me wonder what in the heck they were thinking!

[Michael_Lambert]

Aww but there is no better way to relax than to be completely weightless in water. And this time of year the water is nice and cold so the fish are very lethargic so much easier to approach.

But thus far the lake is not frozen over yet so its still easy to just jump in for a quick dip.. however give it a month and we will be pulling out the chainsaws to cut a hole and go.

[sevillafox]

Scuba diving never relaxed me...I had trouble sinking and then I'd have trouble coming up slwow enough even if I made sure all the air was out of the BCD.

[Michael_Lambert]

Yea, well when you get in to technical diving like i do weighting to go down is never an issue :D

When we carry upwards to 150 pounds of gear going down and staying down is never an issue :D Any dive i do regardless of depth or degree of dificulty i always dive my doubles with a stage so a total of 3 tanks and about 30 pounds of lead. And we don't dive with your classic style of BCD we dive Backplate and Wing systems with drysuits.

[sevillafox]

¿Qué?

Just kidding. I never really got a lot of practice diving...just my check off dives and once in Cozumel.

[Michael_Lambert]

Yea thats not real diving :D

You want diving you gotta hit our shipwrecks :D

This is a video of me diving a couple of wrecks locally here in tobermory. Great diving but cold.. you can get a idea of what i mean with the gear.

[FocalPrincess]

Tiff, did you get my text a little while ago?

[Michael_Lambert]

And this video, the card got curpted on me :( But its diving a couple of local caves in Florida last year.

You, my friend, are nucking futz. Couldn't pay me enough to get into cold water..... besides the reason below. ;)

Scuba diving never relaxed me...I had trouble sinking and then I'd have trouble coming up slwow enough even if I made sure all the air was out of the BCD.

Yeah, never did me either. Makes me freak out...anxiety or claustrophobia or something.

[sevillafox]

Tiff, did you get my text a little while ago?

I did now. My phone is on vibrate being as how I'm in school and it was in my HUGE purse.

And, sorry to cut you off so suddenly last night. The tv static was pretty loud and I barely heard Ian crying so I wasn't sure how long he had been crying before I heard him. Turns out, I heard his first cries.

Michael, I'll have to check out those links at home. Internet block.

[Michael_Lambert]

Yeah, never did me either. Makes me freak out...anxiety or claustrophobia or something.


I can honesty say my first time was the same thing. I always seen scuba on TV and seen the millions of fish and clear waters.. However on our checkout dives in our local lake we had about 3 feet of visabilty! Freaked out and surfaced.

But i got through the course and really got addicted. Like Photography i have about 20 grand invested in gear and always seem to need more or better gear :D

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Mornin everyone. Not only can I not download images... but now my computer has been taken off the network so I cant login LOL. So I am glad I brought my laptop and I am being a rebel by using it, oh well. At least it gives me something to do besides sit here and rock/spin in my chair LOL.

[gjl711]

...And this time of year the water is nice and cold so the fish are very lethargic so much easier to approach. ...Yea.. thats because they are freezing their tails off. :)

...dives .... in Cozumel.
Oh yea... Nice warm water, diving with a margarita in hand.. now that’s diving. :):)
:)

...This is a video of me diving a couple of wrecks locally here in tobermory. Great diving but cold.. you can get a idea of what i mean with the gear.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O340J-t8m0Cool video.. no, cold video.. :)

You, my friend, are nucking futz. Couldn't pay me enough to get into cold water.........
I'm with you. I one hair on my body raises into a goose bump, it's to cold. Heck, I won’t go into my pool until it hits 84 degrees though 90 is better. :)

[SoaringUSAEagle]

This just means it's finally time to share some photos!

Here are a few from Monday night's senior shoots.

Hmm, sounds like for hubby's sake I better stick to photography for now...I've got enough of a wishlist as it is. :( Darn....stopped snowing. Got some rocking pics already, need to get some more before it gets too sunny to see.

[sevillafox]

They look good Jeff.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

They look good Jeff.

For the two I dealt with, thanks LOL. Becca had a hard time giving different facial expressions and it was best for Nyles just to smile LOL. Oh well. They're happy and I am happy too so it worked.

Read above comment LOL. That's just Becca.

http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/fail-owned-ice-like-water-sign-fail.jpg How about this for your morning laugh?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

That is pretty good!

[Michael_Lambert]

Okay what is it with Americans and "Senior photos" I mean around here the only photo people pose for is for the yearbook :(

[FocalPrincess]

Okay what is it with Americans and "Senior photos" I mean around here the only photo people pose for is for the yearbook :(

IDK, but its a lucrative market.

[Michael_Lambert]

Oh i can see it is. And when i asked around here my wife has a few cousins in Senior year or last year of school. And i asked around about who was doing there "Senior Portraits" and they looked at me crazy.. and asked why they would need pictures taken for that. lol

[sevillafox]

Seniors typically get the pics done FOR the yearbook and for their family to have extra special keepsakes of their last year of childhood.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Yep - it's a big deal over here. They get the "coolest" photos in the yearbook since they can be done outdoors and whatever - not just a head shot taken in front of some dumb background.

[Michael_Lambert]

Humm..

See our schools here insist that we use there hired photographer.. We don't get to use different pictures for the yearbook shots. :(

[gjl711]

Read above comment LOL. That's just Becca.Yea, I saw the comment after i hit send.

http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/fail-owned-ice-like-water-sign-fail.jpg How about this for your morning laugh?I got to get me some of that frozen water and dump out all the ice I got.

[gjl711]

Thats how itis here for the yearbook. The Senior pic is a seperate photo session. It can be with the same company or it can be on your own, but we don't put them into the yearbook. :(

[BrokenRoad]

You, my friend, are nucking futz. Couldn't pay me enough to get into cold water..... besides the reason below. ;)



Yeah, never did me either. Makes me freak out...anxiety or claustrophobia or something.
I can't breathe in the masks. I hyperventilate. It's not a good thing.

I've been told no more anything expensive right now. He totally supports me and wants me to get gear when we have money. I'm just not allowed to tell him how much.

I love that blog
Okay what is it with Americans and "Senior photos" I mean around here the only photo people pose for is for the yearbook :(
In my yearbook we had 2 poses. The formal one with either the tux or the black wrap thing and a informal of our choice, hence the shoot.

We took all of ours at the same time.

[BrokenRoad]

oh and good morning. I'm about to get dressed very warmly retrace my steps once again then go to the local police department, that you can't reach by phone only county, and see if someone turned it in down there. I'm also going to call the county sheriffs office again and see if they've seen it.

[Michael_Lambert]

A tux shot in a yearbook?

Wow we where lucky if we wore a shirt and tie! .. lol

[sevillafox]

Good luck finding the bag Leigh!

[gjl711]

Good luck finding the bag Leigh!I'm assuming that this is more than a plastic grocery bag.

[sevillafox]

Yeah, read back a page or so...it had all kinds of necessary items in it. birth certificate, expensive cloth diapers drom di, etc.

[Michael_Lambert]

Cloth Diapers :(

I take it off and can't wait to get it into the can out of my sight.. i can't imagine cleaning it out and washing it.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Cloth Diapers :(

I take it off and can't wait to get it into the can out of my sight.. i can't imagine cleaning it out and washing it.

I'm with you....

[sevillafox]

Di makes them. I'd think about using them if I didn't work.

I don't know if your wife nurses, but I do and the poop barely smells....another boobie bonus!

And, BTW di....this one is hilarious!!!

[FocalPrincess]

Cloth Diapers :(

I take it off and can't wait to get it into the can out of my sight.. i can't imagine cleaning it out and washing it.

Not so bad, I swear. I never touch the nasty stuff....or go any more near to it than I did with my daughter's sposies. Lil' bit of detergent goes a long way....besides the fact, they're cute and cheaper.

[FocalPrincess]

Di makes them. I'd think about using them if I didn't work.

I don't know if your wife nurses, but I do and the poop barely smells....another boobie bonus!

And, BTW di....this one is hilarious!!!

Besides the fact that breastfed poo literally goes right into the washer and dissolves by the time the rinse cycle rolls around. Ms. Cynic over here tested that theory, cuz I soooooooooooooo didn't believe it.

:lol: What's really funny Tiff is the actual biohazard that I cropped out of that pic, and passed to hubby. :oops: He wasn't feeling so good that day.

[Michael_Lambert]

My wife was nursing at first however her boobies started to mis fire or something :D She can't produce enough so we are on a mix of Breast milk and formula. So yea sometimes they smell bad some times they don't.. But they always look bad :D

[gjl711]

Yeah, read back a page or so...it had all kinds of necessary items in it. birth certificate, expensive cloth diapers drom di, etc.Ouch.. not good. :(

Good for her though! Any bit helps. And, as for the looking bad...you did NOT see what came out of my little on this morning! It was a scary color!

[FocalPrincess]

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I could have Jon change the name of this to "sh!t talkers of AHAYWEH" LOL

[sevillafox]

That's true...we do talk about poo a lot. :D

You'll be able to join in the poopy talk soon enough. :lol:

[FocalPrincess]

[sevillafox]

Blowouts. :lol:

[FocalPrincess]

Blowouts. :lol:

Ah, but see, as a general rule, you don't have THOSE with cloth....there's elastic at the back and legs. :D So that's one thing that I'm grateful to say has been pretty well contained. (you have no idea HOW grateful- I just don't do poop.)

[sevillafox]

Oh, not that anyone probably really cares but I ordered a 16x24 canvas last night of this pic... I can't WAIT to get it!!! Thanks for the help D.

Ugh, Aidan skipped pooping for 4 days a couple of times when he was a baby (totally normal for a boobie baby). Let's just say that the clean-up when he did poop was extensive....there was no room left in the diaper at all....it almost reached his shoulder blades.

[FocalPrincess]

Ok guys, be honest. Not brutal or mean, but constructive, please....does this work? I'd love to do this for a friend for Christmas, but these are the only pics I have of her little one. Keep in mind finished size will be 20" by 10" but I sized way down for the web.

An adorable pic, should look fantastic in canvas! :)


I'm so excited, my wife and I got to go see Phantom of the Opera last night. Incredible!

It's cute but the triangle in the A goes up her nose and I don't like that.

I care and can't wait to see where you hang it!!!

Lol...I hadn't thought of where I'm gonna hang it yet. :oops:

Yeah um, that doesn't sound like fun. Even in a sposie, a cloth cover will help that. ;)

Nope...the first time it happened we were over at someone's house and I didn't have any spare clothes with me. Thankfully, they had a little one and lent us some clothes to get home with.

[sevillafox]

I'm so excited, my wife and I got to go see Phantom of the Opera last night. Incredible!


Sounds like fun!

[Michael_Lambert]

haha..

Gotta love those poops! Abby had one the other day she was sitting in her Rainforest chair thing and watching TV and had this HUGE grin on her face in a really really good mood so i decided i would take her out and play with her..

Well let me tell you EVERYTHING she was wearing was covered in slime.. and she had it all over her body i just removed her tossed the cloths in the sink and tossed her in the bath. lol

[FocalPrincess]

Better?

[sevillafox]

Michael, that sounds like it sucked.

D, looks much better...maybe shift the one in teh H to the right so you can see more of her face...

[BrokenRoad]

What are you looking for? What happened?
my sweet little boy unhooked my diaper bag with $40 worth of di's diapers somwhere in the 4 blocks from my house from his bike seat last night. It had all of my info to get my social security card name changed in it along with all my kids medical cards.
Good luck finding the bag Leigh!
thanks.
I'm assuming that this is more than a plastic grocery bag.
very much so. That and I don't use plastic grocery bags. It was a super cute canvas bag that had little sayings like I love organics and such on it.
Cloth Diapers

I take it off and can't wait to get it into the can out of my sight.. i can't imagine cleaning it out and washing it.
ah see these seriously don't stink. I rinse mine off with a sprayer and never touch anything nasty. Throw in the pail. Throw in the washer and dry. I haven't bought diapers since May and I spent $180 then. That and when we're done I can sells these for at least half of what I paid for them. I'm getting a return.
Yeah, read back a page or so...it had all kinds of necessary items in it. birth certificate, expensive cloth diapers drom di, etc.
it has been tramatizing to say the least. We're going to go down in the valley type thing where our railroad tracks are in a bit since I went over them on a bridge. UGH
I'm with you....
seriously they're not what your mama and grandmama used. I promise.
Not so bad, I swear. I never touch the nasty stuff....or go any more near to it than I did with my daughter's sposies. Lil' bit of detergent goes a long way....besides the fact, they're cute and cheaper.
dude seriously they're better than disposables. Those suckers stink up your house.
Besides the fact that breastfed poo literally goes right into the washer and dissolves by the time the rinse cycle rolls around. Ms. Cynic over here tested that theory, cuz I soooooooooooooo didn't believe it.

What's really funny Tiff is the actual biohazard that I cropped out of that pic, and passed to hubby. He wasn't feeling so good that day.
it does. I've had a front loader this entire time. You can seriously watch it dissolve.
My wife was nursing at first however her boobies started to mis fire or something She can't produce enough so we are on a mix of Breast milk and formula. So yea sometimes they smell bad some times they don't.. But they always look bad
Good for her for giving it a shot! So many people don't and formula is seriously not made to provide all the nutrition a baby needs.
Ouch.. not good.
no not good quite bad
LMAO on both points!



Mis-fire...*snicker*

Good for her though! Any bit helps. And, as for the looking bad...you did NOT see what came out of my little on this morning! It was a scary color!
ewwwww

mine too!

That's true...we do talk about poo a lot.

ah yes once you become a parent poo is a normal subject.
And you think the convo has gone downhill so far today.... Wonder what it would be like if the title were that.
it could get really ****ty ;)
If he only knew. He'd run screaming the other direction.
very very true
Blowouts.
I've only had 2 blow outs with Kyler and both were when he was in sposies when he was 2 months old and in sposies for a trip to GA. It was ugly and 2 very ruined outfits.
Ah, but see, as a general rule, you don't have THOSE with cloth....there's elastic at the back and legs. So that's one thing that I'm grateful to say has been pretty well contained. (you have no idea HOW grateful- I just don't do poop.)
What she said. Never had a cloth blow out. Ever.
Ugh, Aidan skipped pooping for 4 days a couple of times when he was a baby (totally normal for a boobie baby). Let's just say that the clean-up when he did poop was extensive....there was no room left in the diaper at all....it almost reached his shoulder blades.
never had that. He was a regular 6 times a day kinda pooper
Yeah um, that doesn't sound like fun. Even in a sposie, a cloth cover will help that.
yes it will and you can get some super cute covers. I suggest a minkee.

Kyle says if we can't find the bag then he'll replace the diapers for me. WOOHOO. Which means that I can finagle my way into 3 diapers since I lost two inserts right? Di do you have any more of the pony minkee? That was one that I lost :(

[Michael_Lambert]

Looks great!

[BrokenRoad]

I like it. I like the suggestion on the H though.

[Michael_Lambert]

ah see these seriously don't stink. I rinse mine off with a sprayer and never touch anything nasty. Throw in the pail. Throw in the washer and dry. I haven't bought diapers since May and I spent $180 then. That and when we're done I can sells these for at least half of what I paid for them. I'm getting a return.

So far we have been very very lucky, Large family and they bought tons for the baby shower, and i have a friend who works at a larger department store who always happens to find packages of diapers or cases of formula open on the store floor and we get it at a GREATLY discounted price.. lol I don't think i have yet to have paid more than $5 for case of Enfamil A+ ready liquid formula.

[sevillafox]

yes it will and you can get some super cute covers. I suggest a minkee.



Dude, I already am going to owe D huge...I'm commissioning a diaper cover for studio shoots after January.

it does. I've had a front loader this entire time. You can seriously watch it dissolve.

Come on i see a Youtube video coming on this!!! Gotta promote the cloth diapers :D

[FocalPrincess]

D, looks much better...maybe shift the one in teh H to the right so you can see more of her face...

Only thing is that then you can see mom's not-so-attractive ponytail and stuff.

How about this edit? She's so picky, I'll probably edit a couple more times before giving it to her at Christmas.

(edit first and then the original for easy compairison)

[sevillafox]

The edit is better.

..D, looks much better...maybe shift the one in teh H to the right so you can see more of her face... Aw man, I was going to say the same things. I like the whole thing but the A up the nose and the 1/2 face on the h were distracting.

Aw man, I was going to say the same things. I like the whole thing but the A up the nose and the 1/2 face on the h were distracting.

I beat you, I beat you, I beat you!

[gjl711]

[gjl711]

*dances around

I beat you, I beat you, I beat you! Well i had to do some real work. :( Grrr... I hate it when they make me like really work..

Just toss on random grades. :)

[FocalPrincess]

Sorry that happened. I wish you the best of luck in finding it!



Front-load washers as a spectator sport! Now I can cancel my Blockbuster-by-mail subscription! :)

Come on i see a Youtube video coming on this!!! Gotta promote the cloth diapers :D

Hey, it entertains toddlers, too!! No more Barney or Teletubbies! :p

[Michael_Lambert]

haha..

My Daughter loves MONSTER JAM. I have my PVR record it and every night i come home and eat dinner and watch it and she sits in her chair going crazy.. All the sounds and colours just flying around the TV... lol

[SoaringUSAEagle]

So maybe I did do something wrong LOL.... Found out that my system got locked out because there is apparently something that the scan picked up on for whatever reason.

So yeah.... But I am not the only one. It happened to a lotttttt of people on base. However, there could be something on there, not necessarily under my account though so who knows.

[sevillafox]

Meh, I'm too stubborn to do that. Although, I have done it with homework before. :lol:

:D

No front load washer for me. Our laundry room couldn't take one. The toilet is RIGHT in front of the washer...like 6 inches in front of it.

I can't wait until we remodel.

[gjl711]

... Teletubbies! :pTeletubbies scare me.. AND WHAT'S WITH THE BABY SUN.... *shivers*

Oops..hope you don't get in trouble.

Oh, and in case anyone cares...my website update is now online. I just need to do the galleries.

I was thinking of using this: http://www.flashnifties.com/xml_slideshow.php

But I can't tell if I can use vertical shots with it.

[sevillafox]

Yo-gabba-gabba is worse than teletubbies

[gjl711]

Meh, I'm too stubborn to do that. Although, I have done it with homework before. :lol:...
I knew it.. I knew it…And now I have proof. A teacher admitting that the randomly toss on grades.

[sevillafox]

My hubby refused to do a family pic...he said pics of the kids are good enough

[Michael_Lambert]

Yea i am trying to refuse too.. But there are certain things i want in life and she said she can do with out them longer than i can... so i don't have much choice :(

[sevillafox]

LMAO!!

Time for lunch! See ya!

[BrokenRoad]

Dude, I already am going to owe D huge...I'm commissioning a diaper cover for studio shoots after January.
hehe. Once I get things going a little more I will probably order a couple just for that.

My Daughter loves MONSTER JAM. I have my PVR record it and every night i come home and eat dinner and watch it and she sits in her chair going crazy.. All the sounds and colours just flying around the TV... lol
like monster truck monster jam? Maximum Destruction Tom Meents is from here. He's a pretty darn awesome guy and sweet as can be. We run into him on a regular basis when he's home.
Teletubbies scare me.. AND WHAT'S WITH THE BABY SUN.... *shivers*

Yo-gabba-gabba is worse than teletubbies

I'm still waiting on my cards. They're still printing in progress as of today.
That's not quite what I meant.:p
I corrupted her. When I first "met" her she was not this way
My wife keeps bugging me to sit down and do our family picture for our cards... lol
ah that is why we're using our family photo from when we were married in October. He refuses to do another until we have our family portraits made next year.
My hubby refused to do a family pic...he said pics of the kids are good enough
yeah so did my hubby. what spoil sports they are.

[PiRho]

Yes i could not count the cars this morning.. Little tired.

UP at 4am for a dip in the lake and then tried to get my gear off and packed up before it froze to my butt :D Then i was late getting to work and the highway was like a sheet of black ice.. at time we where doing 20km and still sliding cause the road goes on a bank in some of the turns.
awesome! glad you made it safe to work! I've never been Diving before. I think it would be a lot of fun, however I have seriously limited funding for my hobbies... so I will have to stick with Photography for now.

Humm..

See our schools here insist that we use there hired photographer.. We don't get to use different pictures for the yearbook shots. :(
yeah, that's the way it was for us too! no options for the Sr. photo :( the only thing we could do is refuse to have a pic taken. then all you get is a monkey face or whatever the filler was that year. LOL

Thats how itis here for the yearbook. The Senior pic is a seperate photo session. It can be with the same company or it can be on your own, but we don't put them into the yearbook. :(
yup, that's here too.

Not so bad, I swear. I never touch the nasty stuff....or go any more near to it than I did with my daughter's sposies. Lil' bit of detergent goes a long way....besides the fact, they're cute and cheaper.
to be honest Cheaper is what makes me want to go that route when we have kids. I still have to talk my wife into it though LOL. I'm not sure that telling her that I will then be able to afford more camera gear will do the trick LOL maybe I'll have to go with the whole more moeny for the house/nursery deal... :) hahaha



Just finished Lunch.. and catching up! man! this place really is moving along these days! LOL

[BrokenRoad]

Enjoy lunch Tiff.

I have my bag back!! Apparently the local police picked it up right off the bridge over the train tracks yesterday. They looked to see if there was identification and then tried to drop it off. I wasn't home. We ran up there after retracing my steps once again. I walked in and it was sitting on a desk I could see from the door. The officer knew then that the bag was mine. He was getting ready to head out the door to bring it to the house again. I had to show him my ID just to make sure. He commented that he'd never seen a diaper like that and it was cool. Had it not been there we'd have been down in the rail road tracks. Although I think I want to go down there in the spring between trains and get some cool shots. It would be cooler if I could get shots while the train is going by. Hmmm maybe not in the valley but along the tracks anyways.....

[FocalPrincess]

Yes I was, I was just too chicken to show it.

You won't regret it. I'll promise you its easier than most think it is. Check out the AIO (All-In-One) style...literally just like a disposable, other than the fact that its cloth and washable. And cuter. ;) Sell her on the cuteness factor.

[FocalPrincess]

Oh, and hubby is awake and tidying up...I think I'll use this to my advantage!!
lucky duck mine left for work about 45 minutes ago. He only had a half day today since they were tidying up in Savoy and well he wasn't driving that distance to turn around and go to Gibson instead he just waited out until Gibson. He really really likes his new boss. Kyle makes his own hours pretty much. So he'll continue to take the kids to school in the mornings and they'll go over to Nat's house after school until she gets home or Kyle gets home adn then they'll come home. Until we get another vehicle, which should be in the next two weeks. He's getting a truck in return for the labor for putting a roof on his gpa's house.

Oh and the RR police well I won't get caught ;) and they'll get the heck over it.

[Bootsie]

Hello everyone!!!!!!

The movie was great last night!!!! But I didn't get home until about 3:45, so I slept until 11am ha ha.

They did a pretty good job on the movie, but the book was still much better (it always is).

I have to go meet with an advisor today to try and figure out what to do for school.

Enjoy lunch Tiff.

Waht do you do that you can just up root and move your office :D

I would love to move my office back home.. but these steel walls and bars on the windows are a pain to move :D I work for a company that designs and builds the equipment that makes your cell phones work. My teams do the integration and testing of the new software. They all use to be here in Illinois and Texas but we have off shored so much that I no longer have anybody stateside. All are overseas. So, my office is a laptop and a high speed internet connecting and a phone. I still work for a old school kind of guy that likes to see the people who work for him so I drive in every day, pop in my laptop and start working.

Enjoy lunch Tiff.

I'm so glad you got everything back. Bet it just made your day. :):):) Smiles to you.

[BrokenRoad]

It did make my day for sure.
Brooke I am jealous I cannot wait to go see it. The book is always better! I'm rereading all the books this weekend since we're going next week to see it.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Back from lunch - got our lease signed. Now for the inspection and keys on Wednesday! :D

[sevillafox]

Cool beans...

But, ugh, moving again.

<----hates moving with a passion

[Michael_Lambert]

Yeaa haawww.. My kido actually behaved on santas lap.. or so my wife says..

$40 at the local mall for a picture with santa you get a print sheet of a couple of 4x7's and wallet size and the single image in high resolution on cd. Not too shabby.

[Adamora]

BAWHGAHAHAHAH Goodnight.

[ssidiv3r]

Well, dry gloves are done. The darn pvc was a b|tch to get into the wrist seal on the suit, the gloves are just barely big enough to fit over the pvc and the o-rings are so tight it's pathetic. Definitely not very easy to don and dof on your own so I will be getting a pair of Harbor Freight gloves and I'll try to find some bigger o-rings. Other than that, I hope they work tomorrow

[sevillafox]

goodnight adam!

[Michael_Lambert]

Drygloves for what?

[sevillafox]

Boy, Michael, that makes me glad that I have a friend who dresses up as santa. Santa pics will be a breeze since I get to take them myself....provided Aidan doesn't get scared this year and cry like he did last year.

[Michael_Lambert]

Yea i considered having someone dress up in a suit too.. But my wife said the mall had this really cool setup and she really wanted to get a shot with Santa at his little santa house thing. lol

[sevillafox]

Oh, well. My friend does it for the school or something and always makes it a point to stop by...which reminds me...I should check with him on the when

[ngineer]

I have my bag back!!

So glad they found your bag! Yay!

Back from lunch - got our lease signed. Now for the inspection and keys on Wednesday! :D

ooo, fun! :)
There is a light at the end of the box tunnel! :)

[sevillafox]

Oh, thank god! It's time to go home!

[Natalie]

This will probably be the easiest move for me!! muahahahaha

[Michael_Lambert]

Darn it... Send the wife to the mall to get a photo with Santa and she buys a new phone.. lol She bought the samsung Cleo or something like that. Women and there toys :D

[BrokenRoad]

Cool beans...

But, ugh, moving again.

<----hates moving with a passion

I wish we knew a Santa. We just cannot afford to have them done at the mall.However I wonder if I can take them myself....
Darn it... Send the wife to the mall to get a photo with Santa and she buys a new phone.. lol She bought the samsung Cleo or something like that. Women and there toys :D
Ha not me. I just about killed my phone before I replaced mine and the hubby made me do it. He was tired of seeing it all mangled and not working right. I couldn't be happier with the phone he got me though. I lurves it.

[gjl711]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... He had to have floored it to get that kind of speed!!
Ohhh... Bet that got the officers attention.

What the heck was going through his head?? Obviously not paying attention to where drive was.
