Congratulations to those who got approved, and other good news. Enjoy your day!





..... I however.... am.... not.... having a good day..... off back on the new career search. Got laid off.

ohhhhh nooooooooooooooooo... getting laid off sucks!! I hope u can find something soon ensha'allah


TERRIE, u are NOT allowed to be sick..DO U HEAR ME!!! no colds, no flu...we'll have none of that, ya'hear! drink some hot chicken broth and get ur rest.

I'm so sorry!

So I am the proud owner of an electric Weedeater. I no longer have to beg my son to come over, or fret about the city giving me a ticket cuz of my grass. (never got one but how embarrassing THAT must be!)



Meet my leangreenweedeating machine.

Oh, now I have what might sound like a really dumb question...if the grass is wet..is there any electrocution danger? I mean water and electricity cannot be a good combination Damn this grass. Actuary Jenn! is there a risk number attatched to this type of activity?

Jackie

The risk number is 12.

I'm very sorry to hear this, K&0.

K&O...my prayers to you that this does not get you down too much. I know when your life is in Sh@t its hard to even think of anything optimistically. I feel that terrible feeling in my stomach always and I am very sorry this happened to you .

Maybe a much better door is opening for you and the fact that this one closed will not seem so horrible in the coming days.

With love,
Tammy

that's a beautiful cat!

Too funny!

Our cat, Boo, loves to play with the wrapping from the toilet paper. He comes running to try to break down the abthroom door when he hears me opening a new one.

My oldest cat, Jimii is obsessed with playing with bread ties.

We used to have a Maine Coon cat that if you waded up paper into a ball and throw it he would go get it and bring it back to you like a dog

Yes! That's exactly what Boo does with the TP wrapper. But only with that, no other type of ball. Weird.

bleh, electric. gas powered baby!
unlikely a chance for electrocution, however, weedeating when the grass is wet means it will clump up. best to wait when it's dry.

My Mrs. Ivory LOVES crumply paper. She won't bring it back though. We have a pedastal fan with a circular base that slopes downward and she always takes it there, drops it on the base of the fan, and then proceeds to play soccer down the hall. Shes fast too! Its hilarious to see her face when I crumple up a piece of paper. She will stand at attention the entire time until I throw it. We even have to be careful coz she'll creep up and steal papers from our desk lol. Totally obsessed!

I am having a great day off. Went to Walmart with Lexy, we just made pancakes with maple syrup. Her dad will pick her up soon. Then I am going to bust out my new toy I'm kinda excited. Never used one before.

I know charles, yours is bigger and more powerful than mine.

hope u dont have a prob with the string used for cutting, they say just tap but mine never does JUST TAP hate it

String? Tap? oh man........I'm in trouble.

j

tammy tht quote is nice

I hate weedeaters. The string gets locked, not to mention they're dangerous if too close to ur feet, they make ur back hurt after a short time. My dad always did the weedeating and I rode the riding mower....

nooooooooo where in the booklet does it say you will soon be covered, head to toe in green grass shavings

It works! I had to assemble it! omg. But that was ok. I think I have to go back and get a replacement pack for the string.

jJ

I still think the manual push mower is the easiest alternative. Just push and walk. Done.

I'm gonna take your advice doods and try to find one of those Kelly, your dad have any old lawnmowers he dont need?

Jackie........you can buy a spool and wind it yourself. Much cheaper, and if you put the thing together, I'm sure you can figure out that. Mine has an arrow on the bottom telling you which way to wind it.

I wonder if you wind it the other way what happens????????????

Just imagining....Sue

Around here they throw them out on clean up day(If you dont mind stopping long enough to load it in the trunk)

I hope you like it. I don't deal with strings, electricity, etc. Just push, walk, done. badda bing, badda boom.

0h my! it's raining here.

I'm starting to get worried about Jess. I'm saying a little pray today hoping her and her baby are both well. Jess, if you're reading, we miss you and we care.

Jackie

No one had heard a word yet????

No. I hope she calls soon or signs into her myspace. miss ya jess.

It is Tuesday, I would think she would be up to at least a phone call by now.

Ok, Pineapple patrol..we have a mission to seek and find Jess. I sure am worried about her. I hope there were no serious complications or anything...Jess, we're thinking about you...

Jess, sending prayers your way! We Miss You and we hope all is well.

It's a slow night, Amal.

all the better to cuddle up and post in the daily MENA thread!!!!

It's dreary here. It had rained and maybe it's a good night to bake that cake.

Anything good on tv tonight?

jJ

I dunno, I don't watch TV.

nope jack sorry only one mower lol....just wanna say MY KITCHEN LOOKS EFFIN AMAZING! Im so glad its done!

tomorrow were going to the zoo..so excited, i know zaid will have no idea whats going on and things but, just exciting to take him on his first big adventure...i took the greatest pic of him today on my phone, i wish i could get it on here somehow, he looks like such a big boy...5 weeks old today...where is the time going?

i hope we hear from jess soon...its been what? 5 days? inshallah she is recovering well and nawal..we wanna see those twins!!

I have no idea whats on tv... our free cable is gone now ... even if we still had it, I wouldn't be watching coz the only time I really watch tv is when american idol or big brother is on...

As long as it was free, amal. I never understood the concept of paying to watch tv other than for the electricity.

We had lived here around 6 monthswith no cable and then all of a sudden..kaplow, theres CABLE woohooo... then the show before the finale of american idol.. kaplooey... no cable it was a conspiracy!!

Well, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
