[SoaringUSAEagle]

Sure, no one follow, it's okay :D

[sevillafox]

I hope this gets renamed to include our stay at home mommies

[SoaringUSAEagle]

That's still the working force...

[Chet]

Hmmm... Smells like tuna.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

It just seems like most of us are on more at work than when we're off.

[gjl711]

WHoa.. new thread.

[gjl711]

Settle yourself little fella.I've never been part of a thread swich before.

[PiRho]

I've never been part of a thread swich before.

nothing to it. a Mod locks the old one down, and a new one is created.

[PiRho]

[SoaringUSAEagle]

You doubted we would? It was flying... as it always does within the last 300 or so posts of a thread.

[Chet]

But you have to admit the stream has been week lately. This one will probably go well into the New Year.

[Natalie]

Is this the new one already? It's nice I suppose ;)

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Yeah it has been.

Is this the new one already? It's nice I suppose ;)

Yep, looks that way...

[FocalPrincess]

That's still the working force...

Not really so much. This is often my only link to the outside world.

ok. well since Jon has approved it... I suppose :( LOL but I don't have to like it hahaha

Same here. :( Just feeling kind of left out. Leigh felt about the same, but had to leave to get the kids.

[FocalPrincess]

see you guys after a while.

[Natalie]

Oh and there really isn't a story behind the psycho thing. It's just an older lady I work with. She talks to herself and yells at her computer and talks my ear off and today it's just me and her :(. She loves to tell you everything. Even her irritable bowel syndrome. It's disturbing and I don't want to hear about it. So I call her psycho. It's nice in my opinion :).

[JakPot]

guess i'll have to join another thread now. how about "bums of AHAYWEH"

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Same here. :( Just feeling kind of left out. Leigh felt about the same, but had to leave to get the kids.

Wow it's just a name for pete's sake. Everyone but Natalie and Tiff should have felt left out of the last one. Give me a break :rolleyes: If it's that big of a deal I will have Jon change it.

[sevillafox]

Jeff, Where're the senior pics you did? Did I miss them?

[Jon]

I didn't ask you. :twisted::wink:If you aren't going to listen to her, why should I tell you?

ok. well since Jon has approved it... I suppose :( LOL but I don't have to like it hahahaAh, but you do . . .

We akways do, father. :DAt least mostly akways . . . :{)#

[Natalie]

Wow it's just a name for pete's sake. Everyone but Natalie and Tiff should have felt left out of the last one. Give me a break :rolleyes: If it's that big of a deal I will have Jon change it.



That is very very true.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Jeff, Where're the senior pics you did? Did I miss them?

Cant have my laptop at work until after the new year (or whenever this inspection that is coming up, is over. And I was busy last night so they didnt get posted.

If you aren't going to listen to her, why should I tell you?

Ah, but you do . . .

At least mostly akways . . . :{)#

Bah, I cant read or type today! Wish these gov't computers had spell check! :) I can normally catch the red underlining lol.

[Natalie]

Jeff, Where're the senior pics you did? Did I miss them?



He hasn't posted them yet. Ya haven't missed them. He hardly just showed me last night. The one of my cousin is very very funny. She is pretty funny looking :)

[Chet]

Boy did this place come to a screaming halt but quick!

[sevillafox]

Gotcha. I just wanted to make sure not to miss them.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Boy did this place come to a screaming halt but quick!

It's my fault.

Gotcha. I just wanted to make sure not to miss them.

Yep, not a problem.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

So does anyone have better suggestions for the name? I see you all quieted down. This fit the best IMO, and we all know that after 10k a new one needs to be started. You all had more of a chance than I did to start it....

[sevillafox]

Would explain a few things...

[Natalie]

Hahahahaha you guys make me laugh LOL :)

[Natalie]

I did have one rich old guy hit on me awhile ago. But I'm afraid he's just not my type. He still lived with his mom ;)

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Whew, I am glad I have a chance! LOL :D Then again, I got well more than a grand too hahaha.

[Natalie]

Hahahaha yeah you were rich when we started dating. Then you got expensive FAST! But at least you've always had enough for me :)

How much does he have in the bank? Sugar daddies pay well.I'm open to any sugar mama out there looking for a good time. ;):)

Ah, morality only applies if you don't have money? :lol:....It's a well known fact, the more the $$$ the looser the morals. Just look at Heff and Michael Jackson.

[Natalie]

G'night you two! :) Play nice!



Goodnight! Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite :)

We're always nice ;)

That sure is a fancy a$$ LOL. Oh I am sure there are plenty of women who would be interested too if you have the moolah :)

[SoaringUSAEagle]

24 more minutes before I get to go home!!!! :D

[gjl711]

24 more minutes before I get to go home!!!! :DHurry.. hurry..

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Hurry.. hurry..

You're telling me!!! These days drag when all I can do is search the internet. There's only so much to look at, and especially with the sites they have blocked... I try looking at images throughout threads, but if they are linked to a photo hosting site, forget it - all I see is a bunch of red X's.

[Natalie]

Oh just rub it in lol. I still have an hour and over a half! YUCK lol.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Oh just rub it in lol. I still have an hour and over a half! YUCK lol.

You have just over an hour :)

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Just a couple more minutes :D See you all later!

[gjl711]

Whats for dinner. I'm makin corned beef, garlic bread, and some sweet potatoes. I also baked an apple pie with apples from out backyard. :) I love work at home days.

[Natalie]

Bleck! A very long hour LOL

I've never had corned beef. Is it good? Your lucky you can work at home LOL.

Jeff better get to cooking! I'll be hungry by the time I get home LOL

[gjl711]

...I've never had corned beef. Is it good? Your lucky you can work at home LOL... It's a love/hate kind of food. I love it when it's been boiled all day then broiled for another 15 minutes or so and eaten right away. But I hat it cold like sliced for sandwiches.

So you've never had a Ruben sandwich?

Working at home is ok, but the days are very long. I'm on line and on the phone pretty much from 6 in the morning until I go to bed around midnight.

[sevillafox]

At least you know who poops and pees in your toilets. :D

[gjl711]

At least you know who poops and pees in your toilets. :DWHAT?? :shock:

[Chet]

At least you know who poops and pees in your toilets. :D


Hey you cutting into my material? ;)

[sevillafox]

WHAT?? :shock:

Please refer to my story earlier about my trip to the girls room where the seats had poop, pee, and blood on them that did NOT belong to me.

[Chet]

Now where did all the girls go?

D?
Kay?
Leigh?

Like how that ramped down.

[sevillafox]

Nice. D, I'm not sure. She's not on IM at the moment.

Kay is busy moving.

Leigh, dunno.

Nope never had a ruben sandwich. Might have to try it sometime though!

Oh working all day would suck. Never mind I'll take my 8:30 to 5:30 over that lol

[BrokenRoad]

I'm here. Today has been hectic. While I Christmas shopped Kyle was fixing the floor of one of his cousin's trailers. He wasn't done by the time I needed to leave to come home to get the kids. Was on for a few minutes between getting home and getting the kids, had to hide the presents too. Then I had to go back and pick up Kyle up and then we spent a little bit at his (former) stepdads house.

[FocalPrincess]

Now where did all the girls go?

D?
Kay?
Leigh?

Like how that ramped down.

I'm here, but have learned to do fun things with the new phone. Be busy for a while.

[BrokenRoad]

[Bootsie]

Well hello new thread people!!!!

Work was long today, but good. :)

I am home and have eaten, and I am watching TV, so I am happy, I should probably be doing homework, but I don't want to LOL.

[gjl711]

Well hello new thread people!!!! ... Helo. I am still working but at least I am home as well. Got Arnold S. the the TV, puppy-cam on the other window, and I'm perusing POTN.

AAAAOOOOOOooooooo........

Ewww I hate bees! Why do you have a random picture of bees?

[gjl711]

Ewww I hate bees! Why do you have a random picture of bees?THey are not bees, they are flies. It's out Stephen King return from vacation story.

We left for vacation for a few weeks. Both my wife and I are freaky about coming home to a messy house so before leaving for vacation we had the house spotless. When we returned I opened the front door and a few flys buzzed past my face. As it was summer and hot I went to open up the windows and fet some air into the house and thats when I saw them. Hundreds of flys. Every window had them. THey were all over. There were dead flys all over the floor.

So I got the shop vac and started vacuming them up. I stopped counting at 1800 and those were just the live ones. It was horrible. we never did find what food source that fed these guys for two weeks.

[Bootsie]

That is so gross!!!!! I would go nuts!

[Bootsie]

Hey look I am almost at 2500 posts. :)

[gjl711]

that is gross. However we keep our kitchen really clean, my husband is ocd about that and I can be too since it's the kitchen, and we had a fly infestation too. What made it worse is that they were in my bathroom too. Makes no sense.
Hey look I am almost at 2500 posts. :)
Go you!

can you send battery run down juice to my 1 year old who is still going strong?

Nighters folks.

..Morning everyone. Yea, the flies were pretty gross and we never did find the source. This year when we left we fumigated at the same time with those Raid cans you drop in water and they smoke up a storm. Placed 6 cans around the house from basement to garage. The result was not a single critter alive. A few dead ones on the floor, but dead ones I can deal with.

And thats why living on the 10th floor of a high rise is a good idea!

Seriously though thats DISGUSTING!

[gjl711]

..
Seriously though thats DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING is such a strong word. It was gross and freaky, right out of Amitivill horror, but not DISGUSTING.

ANywya, if i had a few of these little ladies maybe i wouldn't have had a problem.

[sevillafox]

Morning folks. I have 2 sick boys and no sleep. Poor Ian was super stuffed up last night and had a hard time staying to sleep. I finally started playing the static on the tv and that seemed to help a little but, he was still restless and up every hour and a half or so. Aidan slept fine but woke up with a nasty cough. I hate day care contagion.

[gjl711]

Ouch!! poor little guys. I always hated when my kids got sick. It was so sad and so hard on me as well. I hope they get better soon.

[sevillafox]

Me too. Of course they WOULD get sick right before daddy goes MIA for the weekend. :rolleyes:

[gjl711]

Me too. Of course they WOULD get sick right before daddy goes MIA for the weekend. :rolleyes:Kids plan it that way. I'm convinced of it.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Good morning everyone :)

:( I hope they magically wake up from their naps all better...no more stuffies.

[sevillafox]

I see someone is sporting a new old name and is creamy.

What happened?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I spoke with someone and had it changed back - not because of the title. That didnt bother me, but I like this to hide my identity from google searches :)

[sevillafox]

Kids plan it that way. I'm convinced of it.

Yeah, it'll be fun. :rolleyes:

I'm planning on heading to a kids store in a town nearby to get Aidan some new shoes. I'm hoping it doesn't end up being a complete disaster.

:( I hope they magically wake up from their naps all better...no more stuffies.

That would be super!

[sevillafox]

I spoke with someone and had it changed back - not because of the title. That didnt bother me, but I like this to hide my identity from google searches :)

True. It is amazing that google can find EVERY single post you ever made!

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Yep - and I am fond of this name :) Not that my own name is bad or anything but this one just holds a special place.

[Adamora]

DISGUSTING is such a strong word. It was gross and freaky, right out of Amitivill horror, but not DISGUSTING.

[gjl711]

Good morning everyone :)Good morning

I see someone is sporting a new old name and is creamy...I noticed that as well. Welcome back... sort of... ;):)

True. It is amazing that google can find EVERY single post you ever made!And more. I found a picture of a glider i helped my dad and a few of his friends build. I was only 10~12 and i swear that the picture is one I took but it was so long ago that I cant remember nor find the orriginal.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I have nothing to do until 5pm... ugh. I dressed up for work as there is a graduation ceremony this evening and since I am on call, it's mine to cover. Yay. What a joy.

[sevillafox]

Bust out the macro and play.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I didnt bring my camera to work. What's the point? We cant do anything.

[gjl711]

I have nothing to do until 5pm... ugh. I dressed up for work as there is a graduation ceremony this evening and since I am on call, it's mine to cover. Yay. What a joy.Well there is always hanging around here. :)

[sevillafox]

Join the Mpix forum or the miller's forum or something and poke around in there.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

This is true and I dont mind it but my eyes get tired. These monitor at work are just not the same. El cheapo.. uncalibrated pieces of crap. Ok, I am dont complaining. I may just ask my boss to leave and come back for this evening's shoot lol.

[sevillafox]

Play with photoshop and make some crazy edits to photos...you may figure out something unique.

[BrokenRoad]

Good morning thread people
Eww on the spider. I don't like spiders. My husband freaks out and screams like a little school girl when he sees one. It's kinda funny.
Tiff mine do similar things. Or they all get sick at once and in my house that is bad.
Today it is cold. High of 34. I don't do cold. I'm also watching the guy that the neighbors hired to cut down the tree that died in our yard this year. He started it the day before Halloween. He worked on Halloween and we've not seen him until today. If he has to have our electric shut off so that he doesn't hit the line I'm going to put that to a screeching halt. We have electric heat and I have no van since Kyle started a new job today.
Wow that was a novel.

[gjl711]

...My husband freaks out and screams like a little school girl when he sees one. It's kinda funny.....How manly :)

[Michael_Lambert]

What a freaking morning..

15cm of snow and morons on the road just can't adjust! I dive 90 mins to work down one of our busy highways and i passed 9 cars in the ditch 5 suv/ tuck styles in the ditch and 11 fender benders on the side of the road exchanging information..

People do not remember that on dry pavement you can go 140km and change lanes... in 15cm of snow you can not!!!! .lol

oh well my rant is over.

[sevillafox]

Michael, that's too funny!

How's the baby?

[sevillafox]

Leigh, sorry about not having wheels. I hope they don't have to kill the heat.

[Michael_Lambert]

The Baby is great,

She has learned how to make new sounds being 3 months old this week she has learned how to make these littles squeals i swear if you where not in the room with her you would think it was a couple of cats fighting!!!

We have been able to completely know her we know her tired cry, her hunger cry her board squeal, her i want attention noises.. Its all fun!

she has started to get to us now because she will not lay down. She has to be sitting up like a "Big Girl" my wife calls her. So we got out her feeding chair and put it on the couch with us and she can sit up right between us and its funny she will look at my wife and smile.. then watch tv for a min then look at me and smile and watch tv and back and forth..

We are hoping to get her first visit to see Santa tomorrow and get a Santa picture :)

[sevillafox]

Sounds like fun! My little one is still a crabby butt. :D

Have any pics to share?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Definitely sounds like you have your hands full there Michael :)

[Michael_Lambert]

Honestly the last couple of weeks have been totally caos for me. My wife said last night she was upset cause i had not been taking any shots :(

The last ones i have taken where at my sister inlaws wedding two weekends ago.. actually i have not even unpacked my camera yet.

A shot can be seen below other than that the Halloween shots (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=584566) where the last i have actually taken of her.

http://www.michaellambertphotography.com/murfinweddingphotos/images/778T9637_1.jpg

[sevillafox]

Awwww...

get cracking mr...it's time for those three month milestone shots!

[Michael_Lambert]

Definitely sounds like you have your hands full there Michael :)

You know the hardest thing about having this child... Is not the child! Its the inlaws!!

We had her Aug22nd and my wifes parents have been over EVERY Day. They have not missed a day yet, my wife keeps saying it will fade and they will stop coming over and its not happening.

To a point where i lost it about 3 weeks ago and had to set a time of 8pm and everyone has to be gone. No visitors after 8pm.

I work from 5:30 am - 4pm monday to friday i get home at 6:30pm eat dinner with my wife and then by 7pm her parents show up and up untill 3 weeks ago they would stay until they wanted to leave some evenings it was not untill well past 11pm!!!

I am in bed and asleep by 10pm and i was going crazy not having the time to spend with my child ( Daddy Time ) so i ended up telling her parents one day they where over that they have to be gone by 8pm as i need my time with her, or they could pick a couple of nights a week and come up and stay late however they could not contiune to come up every night and stay late!

Well this pissed her dad off big time!!! He was very angry that i was telling him when he could or could not come over, well i pretty much told him i wanted time with my child and that time was from 8pm until i went to bed and it was not there right to question it.

Well they did the first couple of nights they did not leave at 8... so the third night i came down at 8pm picked her off his lap and headed up stairs and have done it ever since! However they are over EVERY freaking day!!! :(

Sorry another rant!!

oh well my rant is over.It's the same here. I think that folks with 4 wheel drive cards get lulled into a false sense of security. They think that just because 4 wheel drive helps you accelerate that somehow it will help in braking as well. They for get that all cars when it comes to stopping in snow will slide the same way. A car going faster will slide further and the 4 wheel drive will do nothing to help.

awww how cute

[Michael_Lambert]

Awwww...

get cracking mr...it's time for those three month milestone shots!

Oh i want too.. I have been trying too :D

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I do enjoy my in laws and Natalie enjoys my parents as well. Our apartment is about .5 mile from either set of parents. We like the neighborhood and the apartments we are moving into are basically brand new. I bet we are the second or possibly third tenant to live in it. The place is immaculate.

I dont think we will have the issue of them seeing us everyday. Man I hope not. Family time is just that, family time. That does not include extended family lol. I'm sorry to hear that but at least you stood your ground and let them know how you feel. It's not like you are all in the same household. You have your rules - so be it.

[BrokenRoad]

ah what a cutie. I haven't pulled out my camera very much since Halloween either. Just don't have the time, or want to fiddle with it right now

You know the hardest thing about having this child... Is not the child! Its the inlaws!!

We had her Aug22nd and my wifes parents have been over EVERY Day. They have not missed a day yet, my wife keeps saying it will fade and they will stop coming over and its not happening.

To a point where i lost it about 3 weeks ago and had to set a time of 8pm and everyone has to be gone. No visitors after 8pm.

I work from 5:30 am - 4pm monday to friday i get home at 6:30pm eat dinner with my wife and then by 7pm her parents show up and up untill 3 weeks ago they would stay until they wanted to leave some evenings it was not untill well past 11pm!!!

I am in bed and asleep by 10pm and i was going crazy not having the time to spend with my child ( Daddy Time ) so i ended up telling her parents one day they where over that they have to be gone by 8pm as i need my time with her, or they could pick a couple of nights a week and come up and stay late however they could not contiune to come up every night and stay late!

Well this pissed her dad off big time!!! He was very angry that i was telling him when he could or could not come over, well i pretty much told him i wanted time with my child and that time was from 8pm until i went to bed and it was not there right to question it.

Well they did the first couple of nights they did not leave at 8... so the third night i came down at 8pm picked her off his lap and headed up stairs and have done it ever since! However they are over EVERY freaking day!!! :(

Sorry another rant!!


Ugh, that sucks! My in-laws pop over once a week and that drives me crazy enough. Your wife's family needs to learn some limits!

I've cut them off earlier than 8pm. Jeepers, why do they need to be over every day...they already had their baby days...let you have yours.

And, it's YOUR house....you should be able to decide who comes over and when.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

What a freaking morning..

15cm of snow and morons on the road just can't adjust! I dive 90 mins to work down one of our busy highways and i passed 9 cars in the ditch 5 suv/ tuck styles in the ditch and 11 fender benders on the side of the road exchanging information..

oh well my rant is over.

We just had a similar snow storm late last week. It's melted now with more on the way, but I couldnt believe the number of tracks I saw along a stretch of road where the speed limit is 40mph (64.37kph). There were 4 sets within just about a mile. People just dont know how to slow down, and in this town with all the military personnel we see a lot of first term airmen from the south who have never driven in it - so that I can understand a little more than the locals.

We are in the same boat, My inlaws live two streets over a 45 second drive!!! And i love spending time with them..

Before we had the baby we would see them every Sunday. We would go over around 11am and do lunch with them and and sit outside in the afternoon and then head over to watch her brother play soccer in the late afternoon and i loved it.

But now they come over every night, and its not so much them coming over but my parents live an hour away they come up twice a week to see Abby and they end up fighting with her parents to hold her and it really bothers me! Then we spend every sunday for lunch with her parents and her parents tend to show up every Saturday afternoon.

And the last 3 weekends her father has shown up at our door at 7am!!!!!!! on the saturday wanting to see her before he goes to work! I mean its just really getting under my skin!

[ngineer]

The last ones i have taken where at my sister inlaws wedding two weekends ago.. actually i have not even unpacked my camera yet.


She's so cuuute! :)

Sorry the in-laws are suffocating. I hope that your wife is supportive, though it can be hard to be caught in the middle.
Daddy time is important!

[sevillafox]

You guys really need to set a time for them to come. Honestly, it can't be good for Abby to have that commotion all the time. And, it's SO not fair for your parents.

...
Sorry another rant!!

no apologies needed!
Sorry you are having issues with the extended family! I know that if we lived any closer to either set of parents that would become an issue, when we have a child! that is one reason that we decided to live so far away. I know it's not always an option for some people, and like in your case... you have to lay down some rules in your house! "Visitation hours are between 4-6pm Sun, Tues, Thur, bring your own food" LOL I would totally do this! hahaha maybe even less days than that! hahaha. your family time is way more important than the extended family!

I've had one of those. Lay down the law and give them days that they can come over. That is going to put a HUGE kink in your marriage and can be very detrimental. Personally I would talk to the wife and let her know your feelings and that it needs to end now. There has got to be a line. You need that time with your family, your wife, your child. They need to understand this. I realize that they want to see their grand daughter but wow.

[gjl711]

My family and my in-laws are spread across the country so we never get drop-ins. When it takes a plane or an 8 hour car ride, everything is carefully planed.

I agree.. Now thats only my inlaws!!! My wife has 11 Aunts and uncles who also live in our town and also drop in about once a week which is not bad for one aunt or uncle but when you have 11 of them coming over spread out over a week it gets VERY crazy at my house!

My wife has a very large Portugese family and aparently for them its nothing to spend all there time together and they don't mind it.. but for me i come from a family of one brother and my parents.. Thats all the family i have had for the last 20 years of my life and i am only 30 now so i am not use to this and i find it an intrusion on my life.

Love and attention is one thing; smothering is another.
They should adopt a baby themselves or something to spread the love around! Goodness knows there are plenty of kids who don't have someone to love them...

Maybe Big Brothers Big Sisters or something.

Have you seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"? If not, I'd recommend it. Sounds very similar. Reminds me of my family vs. my first girlfriend's family.

Oh i think we are well past Dr.Phil!!

I think i need Dr.House :D
