g'morning everyone!

That looks delicious!!!
Good morning!!!

Good morning all. Well magicjack did start working last night so I was able to activate my new bank cards - to replace the ones with the faulty magnetic strip...woot woot.

Another nice day here in Florida, sun is shining and it is a balmy 22 degrees.

Good morning to all. Not so bad weather wise here until it rains again that is.

Yummy!! Definitely need one of those!

Had a crappy start to my day- I slept in. I woke up at 7:30. I usually leave at 7:20 to get Max to school. I woke him up in a panic, literally threw his school uniform at him and told him to hurry and get dressed. I was supposed to get Cooper to the vet by 7:30, he is getting neutered today.

I got Cooper to the Vet and Max to school on time! Whew!

Then I stopped at a diner on the way back and had a big greasy breakfast when I should have come home and had a slim fast shake.

And I'm stressed out about my AOS interview tomorrow.

Wow! AOS interview tomorrow! Well I can tell you it will be great and no need to stress (which you will anyway). But I do wish you good luck and a zippy interview

Mmmmmm. That coffee looks delish.

Whoa. That is a crappy start to your day, Stacey. You must have been flying. I'd treat myself to a big greasy breakfast after that too.

Your interview will go well, Stacey. It's just a formality. They're not going to deny you. But I understand about being stressed out. Have another big greasy breakfast after that too.

My Husband went to the social security office today, in Orlando, to apply for his SSN. He has been gone about 4 hours. They don't keep them there do they

I bet he's at a bar right outside SSN
that's what we did last time =)

Oh and btw, I selected the DC14 Dyson vac for our registry.

I compared 7 vacs (suction power, features, pet hair, and weight) and decided that it's best for me =)

Krikit and Flames will be so proud!!

Cooper is the one who should be stressed. You'll do great tomorrow because you won't sleep in.

Holy crap!
bet that made your day

Yes they keep them there till their wifes to be come and get them because they know that behind every good man is a woman

Good Morning! I'm back from my 2 day training and it was incredible! Met some great people and attended some fantastic workshops. I've not had the time I wish I'd had to look at all the postings, but I'll try to catch up before the weekend. Seems like lots of things have been happening. Trailmix, you made it safely and while I'm sorry that you couldn't stop in on your way, know that ONE day we'll all get together! Liz and Krikit, have fun on your travels! You have to take advantage of the great deals when you can. Miss Stacey, good luck at your AOS interview today, I'm sure you'll do wonderfully! Let us know how it goes! I'd better stop now or this post will be several paragraphs long. I think one of my last postings mentioned me testifying by phone during a hearing in Saskatoon. Well, the Judge said "nope!", so they're flying me back to Saskatoon for the hearing. So, unless the accused takes a plea bargin, I'm flying in Monday and staying until next Saturday. This allow me time to testify, and see my kids, and all my friends back in Saskatoon. I'm excited! Here's coffee....

Oh nice! I'm sending mine there tomorrow then! Oh wait. Did they send him back?



You are right, Trailmix. I am very proud of our Liz.



Whooooo! I am glad you had a great training session, Carla! Welcome back! And that is AWESOME that they're going to fly you back! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Can't
stop
making
exclamation marks!

Damn!

Good luck today Miss Stacey. Carla that is wonderful news, I hope there is no plea bargain and you can get home for a trip.

g'morning all and good luck to miss stacey

Thanks Leafgal! I'm hoping so too! I called my girlfriend up last night to ask if I could stay with her, and she started bawling which almost had me start. Her father passed away last week, and I know she really needs my friendship, along with a big hug right now. I'm excited, but cautious.



charles...how did the coffee service go while I was away? Did you deliver in a timely manner? I know you can brew a mean cup-o-coffee, but timing is everything.

Carla what he might have lacked in timing he surely made up for with his pretty pretty uniform, you know that skirt that was left for him. And one day he even had pig tails he was just too cute

Carla, Charles and the others covered the coffee service beautifully. They did you proud!

Thanks Peeps!!

Mel took everything to work to make copies. I hate having everything out of my sight, but I know he'll return everything safely.

I'm mostly nervous about our evidence and if we have enough. We have a joint account but hardly use it- he usually just gives me his debit card for another account when I need stuff. He added me to one of his credit cards and I am on his health insurance and car insurance.

You'll be fine, Stacey. Good luck!

I didn't say anything Charles!

Welcome back Carla, yes we will all meet up!

They did release my Husband from the Social Security office . Actually, and here is a helpful hint folks, when you write out the directions to get somewhere when you are in a new place, be sure to write the directions for coming back

He was actually only in there about an hour. They have this new system where you go up to see the guy at the front desk, you tell him why you are there - new, replacement, something else, then you get a number, they apparently go through the replacement people like wildfire - one assumes this new office/procedure is a result of people just wanting a replacement complaining about waiting for all the new applicants!

You know, Trailmix, it is sometimes the most basic things we overlook:-) - like directions to get back home .

I remember the story my Dad tells of when Mom would go away for conventions and stuff. She always left him lots of prepared food complete with instructions of how to heat them up. She even wrote out instructions on how to boil an egg: "Put water in pot; put egg in pot; put pot on stove; turn stove on to high; let water boil 5 minutes; turn stove off; take egg out of pot; run under cold water; peel egg; shake with salt and pepper; eat egg"

My Dad wrote back on the bottom of the instructions - "You didn't say how much water to put into the pot. I burned the eggs. Pot is soaking in the sink"

Invariably, the peanut butter jar was always empty and the bread gone when she came home. They usually ate all of the nicely prepared food the following week.

Kathryn that is too cute, I am guessing both of your parents have a great sense of humour. And your mom got to take the next week off from cooking which was a bonus too.

Just want to give a shout out to mr. squirrel here and congratulate him on finding this large cracker for lunch!!



Guess this should really be in the lunch thread.

Hmmm... I knew I was doing something wrong....
Cute, indeed.



I HATE RODENTS and I am surrounded by them in this campus I feel like they're chasing me
Paranoia, anyone????

Your legal name is Winston Smith, what did you expect? Seriously you got to stop watching Alvin and the Chipmunks while eating magic mushrooms.

First of all, if you miss a program on television you can probably watch it here - www.hulu.com - all perfectly legal, very few commercials.

Anyway, I was watching a program and this ad for desperate housewives came up - so I took this screen shot, is it just me or does it look like these legs are mismatched??

I think someone messed up the whole "airbrushing technique".

Mary

ya.. totally looks weird..

None of those women were in the same room for that shoot. You can practically see the halo around some of them and where they were "cut and paste" out of their original photographs. You can also tell the lightsource is wrong -- especially with the second woman from the left. It's a very, very sloppy Photoshop job.

They look almost cartoony!

love the show though

Good job!!! Love my Dyson!! Have had it over a year and it still works great, which it should for the $$$

Have a great trip to Stoon!! I will be there June 21 to July 02! In Calgary/Edmonton a week prior. Sure going to suck when I'm completed school next yr and expected to work,lol

Good morning! Can you feel the love? Have lots of housework and chores to do today. Hung my sheets up on the new clothesline yesterday afternoon so had a heavenly sleep last night! Mmmmmmmmm did my pillow smell divine.

flames...I think you're going to be going in better weather than I am for your trip! It's still quite cold in Saskatoon and before I left for Toronto last week, they still had snow!

Everyone have a great day!

timely by my standards, some people are up before the crack o dawn around here




and ty for the coffee today carla

Carla, I love sheets that have been hung outside. I still think of that pretty much everytime I make the bed with clean sheets, it's just not the same in the dryer!

Oh Charles thanks I feel the love hee hee hee.

I have tons of work to do. There are areas of this house that I don't think have been cleaned since Mel's grandma died (a long time ago) We have cleaning ladies that come every 2 weeks, but they only do basic stuff.

With my mom and sis coming on Wed. I want to get this house in tip top shape.

I'm off to a good start, I have already cleaned and organized the fridge and deep freeze this morning. The kitchen isn't too bad- I cleaned and reorganized everything a few months ago- that was a 2 day job.

The computer room/ guest bedroom is going to be a challenge. It is truly horrifying. Mel has stacks of papers everywhere- old school work, his notary papers,etc. I'm too scared to even look under the bed. Also in this room Mel has papers all over the wall with mathematical equations that he won't let me take down ( reminds me of John Nash in a beautiful mind).

Sounds like my room, I'm almost ready for another biennial room cleaning.

Morning everyone, hope all is good since it is Friday.

Good Morning! Thanks for the coffee. Cute mugs! Today will be my last day of posting for a week, I'm off to Saskatoon early Monday morning for 6 days. I hear the snow has finally melted so that's an added plus! Enjoy your week and hope everyone hears GOOD news on their applications and interviews! I will try and post during the week if I get access to a computer.

Carla I hope you have a wonderful trip as I am sure you will. I am happy that the snow has melted for your return.

in other news, we survived the storms last night and this morning.

now to have some carlacoffee ™

Thanks for the coffee leafs.

Good morning all! So krikit is in NC - she just up and left Florida, what if I have a Florida question?? Like is Altamonte springs pronounced 'Altamont' or 'Altamont-eh'?

Have a wonderful trip Carla, hope the weather stays springish for you rather than winterish
