the daisy rules
- Oopsie Daisy
- Everyone is welcome! The only real rules here are no spamming shit and no posting personal addresses, phone numbers or other similar info. I don't need that kind of stress. That's it, although it could change if someone gets creative or something. If you don't like what is said here, you can: 1) Say so; 2) Hold it in and stew on it; 3. Address it privately to the person who said it; 4) Snark about it to your friends; 5) Leave. Don't bother me with it, I don't care and I won't get involved. I might, however, talk about you behind your back or post your email/message to me on here. *grins* Them's the rules...all of them. Have fun!
do something good

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 310 Newer› Newest»Oh geeze-will I be eternally late with my posts? Tee I posted a request for your red beans and rice under the other post. Thank you so much!
KaytieJ- I'm glad I could help! I'm an incredibly picky eater and just don't care for most common meals, but I love red beans and rice! I'll have to look up our recipe for you tonight! I'd be happy to e-mail it to you if that's okay. My e-mail address is: aunttee1(at)gmail(dot)com
Tee, you better post that in our recipe link, because I want it, too!
That goes to show how behind I am! I didn't even see that there was a recipe link! I'll go post it there, I promise!
Anyone else love the show "Castle"? It's one of my favs!
Mulie-I've never heard of it. What's it about?
Muliebrity, I think I saw it a few times. Can you remind me of what it's about?
Tee I have missed you too. I read your post about your kidney stones....are you feeling better now?
Now was Mardi Gras with the girls?
It's about a mystery writer, who works with a female detective (his muse).
What Network is it on and when? I'll have to try to catch it sometime because it seems interesting.
Hi ladies.
I'm going to post my tuna linguine recipe, as well as my homemade yogurt cheese one...both are awesome.
How was the day?
Hey Bella. I want to try your linguine recipe-do I remember reading that I could substitute chicken for the tuna?
Hey Melissa, I think Sandy did the switch and she said it was great. I would just chop it up pretty small!
Melissa, It's on ABC.
Ok, will have to try that out then. I'm seriously lacking for inspiration in the dinner department!
Thanks for the info Mulie-I'll check it out.
Do you ladies mind if I rant for a minute? My daughter came home from school today and told me that a girl in her class told her that she looked like a stripper. And that it was "kinda true". I was shocked-who teaches their kids (my daughter is 10 and her friend is 11) that they can talk to people that way? Am I being irrational in my thinking?
Holy crap! MWOP has got it wrong!
Haven't been to MWOP since early this afternoon-what's up over there?
They listed this young girl that I have only seen at SIFs BF and called her out as being a Wolverine on MWOPs main page.
Melissa you let your daughter go to school in 8" light up heels and a bikini? Damn!!!
Ok so joking aside that is pretty horrible that she said that to your daughter. I would think that parents wouldnt think it is something that is ok.
I am so certain that your daughter looks nothing like a hooker.
What's up Mulie?
Melissa-I have no advice on what to do, but that is shitty. Girls can be so catty, and it seems to be at a younger and younger age. I mean, 10 and 11? That sounds like high-school stuff to me.
Mulie I agree....I actually clicked on the link thing under Erica's pic and left a comment hopefully that will set MWOP straight. Erica is definitely not a 'wolverine'....however Kathryn whom she was talking to on JM's BF is definitely a bitch.....oh yeah I said that on my blog about her too LMAO
Erica was being catty today, but I think she just caught up in the Kathryn smack down and felt like she was part of the crowd, though Kathryn did call her out. She is just a young 19 y/o girl. What the hell does she know?
Shannon-She'd love to flounce around in acrylic heels etc but I'm not having any of that! :)
Bella-exactly what I would expect out of a couple of 16 year olds.
I guess that some of the girls have given her flack for using a *gasp* Hannah Montana backpack. So she refuses to use it. Isn't the whole tween girl range who the higher ups at the Disney Channel are trying to reach?
I guess I'm just frustrated that some of these girls seem so much more grown up than my daughter. Sorry, but I want to keep her a kid!
I had only seen her a few days over at JM's before we all left, so I would not call her a MckLover.
Melissa, That must be so hard! Is your DD still upset?
Melissa, did the girl say why she said that to your daughter and why does your daughter think it's "kinds true"? I'm just wondering if it's a sort of innocent, stereotypical thing, like maybe she has long blonde hair or is developing a bit early. For what it's worth, I don't think girls now see that as being as much of an insult as most of us would have, which is also sad. And they probably see it on TV and such, it's possible the girl didn't learn it from her folks at all. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending what she said...I'm just suspecting there might be a more innocent explanation for it. I hope so, anyway.
I don't know, Mulie. She acts like things don't really bother her but then later she lets it slip that it does. She said that she doesn't care what these girls say. I had to explain to her what exactly a stripper is. She's not sheltered in the least-at least I don't think she is. But she's very naive which I would like to think is normal of 10 y/o girls. Who knows.
Oh, boy. Not changing the subject, but my friend just sent me a link to this site called "Offbeat Bride".
Check out this wedding:
http://offbeatbride.com/2010/03/halloween-viking-wedding
That dude wouldn't come CLOSE to plundering my village!!
Is she your oldest, Melissa?
I wonder if the other girls know what a stripper is. I remember using words at that age, not knowing what they meant, but knowing they were "bad" words.
Ok, I am really annoyed at the MWOP "Wolverine Wall"! Do they think everyone that posts over there is a MckLover? They should know better then that! They know that most of us were there because it was one of the more active forums.
AP-the way it was relayed to me was that this girl "K" said to Jayna (my daughter) "you look like a stripper". K then gave Jayna a look up and down-you know the assesing what you're dealing with look-then said "it's kinda true".
Backstory-I tend to be strict with what Jayna's allowed to wear. I expect her to be covered and nothing too clingy. She has already started developing and I don't want to cause problems for her by allowing her to wear skin tight shirts that accentuate her figure.
So today Jayna's wearing a t-shirt and skirt and leggings. Her skirt wasn't slutty short but since it did stop above her knee I made her wear the leggings. Certainly not what I'd call slutty or stripper like but I don't know what exactly one would wear in that particular profession.
"I wonder if the other girls know what a stripper is."
Bella, at 10 and 11, most of them know. At least a good, rough idea. It's everywhere...news, internet, reality shows, and if you manage to shelter your kid from all that, they'll still hear it from friends who aren't sheltered and see it in their homes.
Melissa- Goodness, what insanity! I can't believe that a child would even say something like that! I'm so sorry. I wish I had advice but I really don't know what to say. I'm glad to listen if you want to rant some more though.
Shannon- I'm working on a Mardi Gras post for my blog right now! It was so much fun and I can't wait to show you the pictures from it.
I'm not feeling any better. The stone is caught and simply won't pass. I have an appointment with the urologist in a week and a half. I'm sure that they will do a basket procedure to remove the stone. In the meantime, I'm just highly medicated and waiting it out. I've been to the ER five times now and feel certain I'll be back before the appointment. It's a stubborn stone, ain't so?
Gotcha, AP. I forget that kids today are much less sheltered than we were when we were young. Hell, I had to ask my mom what a tampon was...at 13.
AP-I agree that things that would insult me are the "norm" for kids now. There are a few girls in the class that are normally catty so I'm hoping that this girl just had issue with what Jayna was wearing today. Hopefully this won't be something that she has to deal with all the time.
Mulie-yeah she's my oldest. My son is 8 and less likely to care what anyone says about him.
Melissa, I'm at a loss, then, since it sounds like her clothing was more modest than many wear. Could K be jealous of Jayna's looks and thought this would be a good, catty insult?
Jayna didn't know what a stripper was. She thought she did-then after we talked she asked me to tell her what exactly a stripper was. But AP's right-just because I've sheltered her from some things doesn't mean that kids at school aren't filling her head with stuff.
AP-it could be. I told Jayna that not everyone is going to like her or the things she wears etc. I think she gets that. It was just frustrating, you know? Try to make sure that my kids is not distracting to look at, treats others with respect etc. only to have her deal with that. I'll live-just needed to let it out I guess.
Bella, I was telling someone the other day that things I was doing and thinking at 13-14 are more the norm for 8-9 year olds now. Especially girls. At 12, I didn't really grasp the idea of sex or even care about it. I still played with Barbies. It's so very different now.
When visiting my parents, they had "House" or something on and there were strippers on it and my then 3 year old saw a stripper lick something off the arm of a guy. He turned right around and tried to lick my arm the same way! That was a show on at 7pm! There is no was some middle schoolers didn't see that!
was = way
It's a little scary, and sad that the "loss of innocence" (for lack of a better description) comes so early now. You have your whole life to be an adult.
It's the big catch-22: You spend your entire youth wishing you were older, and then you are older and want to be young again :/
Looks like MWOP took the "Wolverine Wall" picture of that girl down.

I must admit, I thought this was a cute wedding and even thought the groom was cute in a very..hairy...way. I was most bothered by the wedding party photo with one of the guys wearing what look to be khaki Dockers. Actually, no, I was most bothered when I went to the sister site, Offbeat Mamas, and saw the first photo. http://offbeatmama.com/filed/photos/family-portraits
I am glad to see that....maybe my comment that was in moderation caught her attention and she decided it was better to take it down.
Some of the weddings on that site are great! I felt a little intimidated by Mr. Viking Groom, though.
I asked Jay if he could get some dreadlocks, tattoos, and ironic glasses, and if we could get married under a tree.
I can't believe he is still with me.
"It's a little scary, and sad that the "loss of innocence" (for lack of a better description) comes so early now. You have your whole life to be an adult."
It really is sad. It sure seems you ought to be able to get a good 10-12 years of total innocence out of it but that's just not the way of our world anymore.
AP: you can be unique and still wear clothing, jmo.
"I can't believe he is still with me."
I think it means he secretly likes the idea.
Shannon, Erica was about to report MWOP to blogger anyway. I thought that was uncool.
Gosh, it's late for me...goodnight all!
Hi all - catching up. One thing I just read the recipe for the Buckeye Balls! they have them all over Ohio - the Buckey State! My mom has an almost exact recipe that she makes all the time, and its so good and easier, Just take the peanut butter mix, and press into the bottom of a cookie sheet with sides.... and then melt the choc and put on top and spread, then refrigerate for a while, hardens the chocolate and then slice like brownies. Easier than rolling and dipping the balls and you get the same effect. We called it "Peanut Buter Confection"
Sorry ladies, didn't mean to dump on everyone and run. I'm trying to get caught up at MWOP. I appreciate all of your input into the situation with Jayna though. :)
It is sad the loss of innocence so young. But then, I had a hard time last night with the "Poise" commercials on the Oscars. My 14 yr old son looked at me and said, 'that is gross.' Kids get lambasted with information too soon these days no matter what we do.
"Shannon, Erica was about to report MWOP to blogger anyway. I thought that was uncool."
For what? If she read Blogger's TOS, she'd now they won't do shit about it.
I know of a few bloggers who have gotten blogs shut down for "stealing" pictures. I honestly don't know how these things work. I really don't.
"My 14 yr old son looked at me and said, 'that is gross.' Kids get lambasted with information too soon these days no matter what we do."
Hell, I even hate those commercials. I hate all commercials about personal things, from periods and birth control to impotence and incontinence. And you now what I really hate? The network that sells sex toys late night in QVC-type format. It's 1am, we're channel surfing and my son and I are treated to someone selling a big, glass dildo on standard cable TV.
Melissa, never ever be sorry for needing to vent! I don't like to speak for other people, but in this case I'm confident in saying that nobody minds! It's crazy that Jayna is having to deal with something like this at a young age.
I did see the original pics earlier today and she did not give credits for others taking those pictures. No skin off me, but I know that if it were the other way around JM would be tweeting/twitting like crazy about it. What a fraud.
I'm with you AP. It is truly one of the reasons we hardly ever watch TV. So embarrassing to sit there and be the remote nazi! I can't change channels fast enough!
Oh...forgot to comment-too shell shocked---they sell dildos on TV :::thud::: How embarrassing for both of you!
Kaytie, I find it interesting you've arrived at these conclusions about Jennifer. For the record. I initially did nothing more than send her the link to JM's blog right after I sent her the link to us. No influencing or opinions until Kaytie formed her own opinions. That makes me truly appreciate that a very intelligent, well-educated medical professional is seeing JM in the same light many of us do. I know we aren't over-reacting.
"Oh...forgot to comment-too shell shocked---they sell dildos on TV :::thud::: How embarrassing for both of you!"
Yup, it's paid programming on Oxygen.
No offense anyone, but I had to check it out myself because that is only fair and right. The blogging world is brand new to me. I do have real life friends that sponsor schools in Honduras and they go there a couple weeks a year with their teen kids. Not what I would do since there is truly scary stuff there. However, these are truly genuine people that do not try to make any money for themselves by doing these things. I also follow Greg Mortenson of "Three Cups of Tea" and his workings in Afghanistan and Pakistan. And "Doctors without Borders." Sure they request money and they only run on private donations, but they do not use their personal tragedies to milk money. I wanted to give JM the doubt. Nothing wrong with making a living and supporting your family. Admirable. Just be honest with it. Which they are not. JM and her husband are all hype. I do think they have brought more awareness to the Compassion Program and that is a good thing. I still need to do research on that program, though.
Okay, I need to have a big ol' pissed off rant here. And Trudy, should you read this, please forgive me if I am overstepping and I want everyone to know I've had *no* contact with her. I just happened to read her blog tonight and what did I find? Trudy...sweet, kind, gentle, cake ball-recipe-sharing, best Secret Santa ever, never causing a problem, non-controversial Trudy, was banned from SIP today. Well, yesterday. And she doesn't know why, according to her blog. You know, I've tried hard to remain fairly decent and civil but for a few minor snarks about SIP but this? Crossed lines. Trudy? For real? So maybe she said something wrong or bad...we all do from time to time, every last one of us. She couldn't be forgiven? Really? I mean, seriously, get a grip...TRUDY did something bad enough to get banned? For fuck's sake, no one is safe there and if ever anyone needed proof, this is it. God*damn, this makes me mad.
WHAT IS SIP? And I am so, so sorry this has happened. For you to be so upset, I KNOW it is just plain wrong what is going on.
You have got to be kidding me! Trudy was banned? What in the world happened? I have to find her blog to read about it! Oh, Trudy... I'm so sorry to hear that. I was really hurt when I was banned and my guess is that you feel the same way. I agree with Lisa. (AP) The leader has gone off the deep end and she's burning bridges left and right. I am really worried about her at this point.
KaytieJ- SIP is a blog that a girl named Won started after OHIH broke down. It is a private blog, only accessable by invitation. Things were going well for awhile and then the leader (Won) went nuts and started banning people left and right. It started with me and Kristin and went from there. Won is spreading outright lies and her behavior has me concerned. It also has me angry as all get out. I don't deserve the nasty way she has treated me and neither does anybody else. For pity's sake, Kristin and Trudy are two of the sweetest people in the world!
I guess everyone left! That's my cue to go to bed! I have a new blog post up if anyone is interested. It's pretty picture heavy from Mardi Gras! southernsweettee@blogspot.com
Tee-thank you so much for filling me in on SIP. I don't know Trudy, but being here for just a short time and talking with the people here-all of you have been a joy to read or converse with. That would really hurt being banned. I am sorry you and Kristin went through that. I am glad you are both here, though. And hey, one of my dearest friends IRL is a Mardi Gras gal. I had so much fun at her Mardi Gras party. Even had King Cake! Will enjoy seeing your pics!
KaytieJ- You're quite welcome! What's happening with SIP is making me sick. I hate to see so many good people hurt because of one person's decisions.
Oh, King Cake! Yummy! That's the best part of Mardi Gras, ain't so? I love the cakes filled with strawberry and cream cheese. Dang, now I'm hungry!
I started my blog as a journal for my nieces. It's something that they will be able to read after I'm gone. I made the blog private simply because I couldn't stand the thought of random hateful people leaving nasty comments. I'm happy to invite you to read it! If you want to, just send me an e-mail address that I can send the invite to!
I don't know what is going on with my posts, I posted here... saying that I posted at SIP asking about Trudy. I just check SIP and my post is gone, I come back here and my post is gone. What the heck?
Karen- Do you have any idea what happened?
I have no idea Tee!! i was just trying to find trudy's blog to read myself, do you know her blog?
If anyone knows Trudy's blog can you post it here for me?
I gotta get to bed, its 3:13!! sheesh!
Morning ladies!
It's been a long night. Uggghhh!
Morning.
How are your SO and little guy, Kristin?
Hi ladies! :)
Kristin- Is LM feeling better?
Hi Corinne!
Hi Taiya! How are you doing? Any progress on the baby naming front? :)
Good morning ladies.
I'm so pissed at the hubs. I asked him to get milk last night and he didn't. We had about a quarter of a gallon of milk left and the bastard drank it. UGH!
He is feeling better, thanks for asking. He just didn't sleep worth shit last night and only wanted me, so I ended up sleeping in his room. He likes to sleep on his floor, so I slept in his bed until about 4:00 this morning when he decided he wanted his bed too.
Very tired today!
That sucks Sandy!
Kristin- Sorry such a crappy night.
Sandy- ditto what Kristin said.
Kristin- NO progress. Sigh. We suck. :)
Corinne on that last one, not Kristin. Grr.
I'm definitely a husband hater today. lol.
Hi Sandy! Sorry about your husband being a PITA today ;-)
Oh no Taiya!
I feel your pain, I keep finding socks on the top of the dresser or on the couch - if you take them off at least put them on the ground - I throw all my dirty clothes in the corner and then when I head the way of the laundry room I pick them up.
What is it with guys and picking up after themselves?
Don't even get me started about picking up after himself! lol
Hey all I think i was banned because i havn't been on in awhile. I think someone could of e-mailed me to give me a heads up or to see if i was okay. I know they were worried about lurkers. Umm I did lurk alot but shit i have from the start. It's okay I love it here I will miss a few Deb. Sue, EM.
Thank you for the kind words AP you melted my heart. I love it here you have agood thing going keep it up.
Taiya, it would take me all of 5 minutes to get the milk. I asked him to stop on his way home from work. "Oh I forgot". I asked him to go after dinner but I guess he was too busy looking at YouTube videos of WWE. It just pisses me off to no end.
ugghhhhh!
I asked SO yesterday to go get pedialyte while I took LM to the doctor. I ended up going to the store after the doctor and knew that he hadn't gone. I got home and was putting the groceries away and he asks "do you still need pedialyte?" - ummmm...no...
I try to remember, he is just a guy. It's just frustrating b/c I wish he would think about the reasoning behind me asking to get it and just do it when I ask.
I'll be back in a while. Got to get kids ready for school.
Hi Trudy!
{{{HUGS}}}
Yes, I really understand the whole heads up thing. Especially you, you are really such a kind soul.
Hope you are well!
Kristin thank you for the e-mail. I'm fine just busy.
Kristin Thanks for the e-mail. I've been busy helping my step-daughters do a fund raiser.
Soory i didn't mean to post that twice.
Fun - what kind of fund raisers?
I really enjoy that kind of stuff.
Trudy - I'm sorry you were banned. It sucks. :(
Ok. I just found this quote:
"If you are too busy to spend time with your children then you are busier than God intended you to be." (Rabbi Mendel Epstein)
I think someone should post it as a comment to Mck.
Corinne - that is awesome! :)
How are you doing Corinne?
A family member we in a car crash we did a dinner for her. we raised 4200.00.
Taiya- " I totally get it. Seriously. My hubs is the same way. Only I get "Well, why didn't you just run up to town to get some instead of me stopping?" "
Really?! Ugh.
Kristin- I'm doing well. Multi-tasking, per usual ;-). Well, right now, I'm actually procrastinating. Lol
It's a beautiful day in the land of Belgium.
car crash - is she okay?
Please don't be sorry i was banned. I'm glad I was sick of the same 3 members over and over. You know the one's i'm talking about. One who needs to learn to parent her child or she's going to lose him to his father. One who rides a bus, and has to have the last word. One who has a beautiful child who is sick but spends more time they JM online.
Kristin she will be going to rehab today were hoping she get's everything back. She has brain damage.
Oh i'm sure that will get a copy and paste. I forgot to say OOPS.
I killed it =)
LMAO Trudy!
Where's the duct tape?
Sorry to hear! I had a really bad car accident in 93, no brain damage but I did have problems walking (fractured pelvis). I hope it turns out okay! Sounds like she has a great support system.
I'm here Trudy - I will probably be intermentint b/c I have to play catch up from missing yesterday.
How old was the girl that was in the car accident?
While i'm at it. I was real pissed that she made a huge up roar about about green grace and blogged about it. When you spent the time to do something nice for her she blew it off like it was nothing. OOPS! Cut and paste
She's 26.
I have to go do dishes but i think i'll leave this site up all day. I can add thing's if it's okay. It will give them someting to talk about today.
:)
No comment!
but thanks for acknowledging it.
I know that a lot of people take things out of context and people have this certain mind set, even if you try to say what happened, they believe whole heartedly they are right.
Such is life.
Sorry you got sucked into it Trudy!
I'm here all day too!
Hopefully she is young enough with therapy, she will be okay.
What's funny is i'm not a person to go off on a rant but shit it feels good. AP get your ass on here and check me out. maybe i'm not the sweet person you think i am. lmao
You go girl!
It's those damn daisy's - you've been sniffing them, haven't you?
Being a lurker at OHIH, I did post now and again. When the thing imploded, I was a little jealous of the "private only" club. I am so glad now that I didn't get an invite.
Sandy - it was a nice place - and it was supposed to be "our" place but at some point that changed.
For that I am sorry.
I do miss some people from there but it has also opened my eyes on a lot of things.
I hate that people think/thought a certain way about me and I hope in time they will trust their gut.
Sandy- SIP was all sunshine and daisies until I realized it was actually a freaking dictatorship!
Trudy- Ranting is healthy. I mean, that's even been scientifically proven ;-)
Trudy - were you given a reason why? just wondering b/c when I asked in a private e-mail, I never got a response.
Corrine, that's the impression I got especially when people were being booted left and right.
I just can't get going today for some reason. I have a ton of stuff I could be doing but I just can't get with the program.
Kristin nope just the boot.
Corinne, I thought i felt good because of the warm weather. It must be the rant. lol
We might hit 50 today.. goodbye snow!
LOL, Trudy!
Sandy- I can't get going today. I had a class this morning and now, nada. I *should be working on a paper but I'm just in a procrastinating mood ;-)
Trudy, I have my four year old home in the am. He goes to preschool in the afternoon. I know if I start something he wants to help, which is great. BUT, it will take forever to get one thing done. I'm grateful that he wants to help but sometimes, not so much. So I will procrastinate this morning with ya'll.
Oops that was meant for Corinne! See I can't even focus on what I'm doing! lol
I hear ya on that one Sandy - LM was "helping" fold towels with me yesterday. Luckily he got bored with it after "folding" 3 or 4 towels...lol!
Towels are Brian's favorite thing to fold. lol. He does a good job too. I want to vacuum and wash the carpet in the two bedrooms upstairs. Not a good idea with him home. So I sit and chat instead and wait for 12:30 to come and fast! lol
Sandy - I wish I had that luxury. :( I really want to vacuum and mop but LM is there. I've asked the SO to do it on his day off (Monday) or when he doesn't work until 3:00 but he always does it half assed.
I need to take a day off to really clean - or do it on my lunch break.
Good Morning all ;) I am just going to jump in this morning and say hey! My computer at home and work has been down since Friday, all is finally back up and running but I am sure I missed a bunch.
Kristin how is the LM doing?
Morning Corinne (waving)
Morning Trudy(waving too)
I like being a sahm, but there are times, alot of times, I wish I was back at work. I miss getting a paycheck. Yeah, I have my transcription work but that is few and far between that I get any. The lady I work for now owes me almost $600.00. I'm still waiting for my February 15th and 28th checks! Her mother owes me over $1000 from last year.
Hey Suz - LM is doing better - actually I was surprised at how well he was yesterday, full of energy and no nap but he didn't sleep well last night. He was in good spirits this morning though.
Thanks for asking!
Good morning (again) Suz!
Sandy lol good morning to you again too :)
wow that is a lot of money you are owed Sandy.
I see Tee has been around, she must be feeling better!
Hi Suz! Yay for a computer that works :-P
Sandy- Ugh. I would harass that woman until she gives me the money she owes me! ;-)
Sandy, I am with Corinne, that is not right to keep you hanging.
Busy day for me today stinking work is busy and I have a dr. appt.
I will check back in with you daisies later on! Be good..or not.
bye suz!
See ya, Suz!
Morning girls!
Hey HiT! How are you?
Good morning!
Kristin - Glad LM is doing better!
Hope you all have a "daisy day!"
Corinne: Good! Just got out of the world's most boring staff meeting.
Hey Lindsay!
How are you?
Hey HiT!
Morning HiT.
I have tried getting the $1000. that the mother owes me but now my emails get unanswered. The daughter will eventually pay me. When I don't know but she is usually good about it.
I'd love to find me another typing gig.
Hi Lindsay!
get/go
Hey Kristin and Sandy!
Kristin: Aren't you loving the sucky weather today?
I've got a mouthy little boy today. He's coming down with a cold or it could quite possibly be allergies. He is a mouthy, defiant one today though.
Hey Lindsay!
It was worse yesterday when I had to take LM to the doctor and to the store. It looks like the sun might come out today.
Well, I got the vacuuming done with Mr. B home. That was fun trying to vacuum while he acted like a dog chasing the vacuum cleaner and barking at it. UGH!
Trudy...you are my hero! No need to say oops either!
Hi Christy!
Hey Kristin. I'm still getting caught up. Is LM better?
seems to be Christy - thanks!
Sandy- I know that it was probably everything but fun to actually have to vacuum with your son doing that but I'm literally Lol'ing.
Hi Christy!
Hi Corinne.
Sandy, being a SAHM is never dull :)
Good morning! Letting my day get sucked up by the internets. I have so much to do IRL!
Morning Ladies....Sorry, kind of, to hear of your banning on SIP. I have often wondered what kind of things are being said about those of us who have either been banned or have left but I realized I really dont care anymore.
I had a realization about my math class last night. As I was stressing and freaking out about it I decided to look at my over all score again...I have an 81% in the class, I am ok I dont have to be freaking myself out about it LOL
Hello, again! Spending some time catching up before I make my hubs some PB pie.
I'm sure that's a relief Shannon!
Christy this last week I was freaking myself out so bad I was ready to just drop out of school...I hate that I let myself get so stressed and THEN think to look and see what is really going on LOL
Yeah Shannon!
I too had that feeling right after being banned but then reality hit and realized it was so not worth it.
I know who I am and what is in my heart. If some paranoid people want to talk about me and spin tales, then so be it. Their perogative.
Shannon- math classes do that to me whether I am passing or not. I am not a math person.
Kristin....Exactly I know who I am and those who really care know who I am....I cant worry myself with what someone who has perceived injury thinks about me.
Taiya I am sooooo not a math person. Yes I am wanting to major in accounting and business but honestly I will NEVER be doing the things I have to do in these math classes LOL
Shannon, I can barely help my daughter who's in 4th grade with her math homework. You're doing just fine!
Shannon- That is great! re:math
Thx Corinne...how is your schooling going? We have spring break coming up after next week...do you get a break like this over there?
Oy... accounting. You couldn't pay me enough!
Math classes were always forced learning for me. I had to force myself to concentrate and to retain the info. Give me a fun history or anthro class and i am all about it! Math? It's like a root canal.
Shannon- We do have a kind of Spring break, we call it 'Easter vacation'. This year it starts April 3rd. Yes, I know I live in a secular country and yet all our school breaks are organized based on religious events. The irony is not lost on me ::eyeroll::
:P
Good morning, everyone. :-)
Not much to say -- the weather has turned to crap again, which makes me sad. It's snowing (not sticking, though) and just in general cold and miserable. ::scowl:::
Hey RiM!
Sorry to hear about the weather!
Hi RiM! I'm sorry the weather sucks, I'm sending you 'good weather vibes' :-)
my brain is not working. I thought I had to enter payroll this week - got the guy to bring me timecards - he only had one week - duh - we don't get paid until next friday - so I have one more week to do payroll.
I need sleep!
HAHAHAHA Kristin that is funny but not. At least you dont have to do payroll today :) From the sound of it you shouldnt be doing it.....you have a week for everyone at home to feel better and get some sleep first :)
Hi Kristin! Corinne!
Yes, Corinne, put a good voodoo on the weather here as I am officially over the snow and ice for this year.
I don't know if KaytieJ is still on? I'm thinking I read she was starting a six-day work shift? Anyway, if you *are, Kaytie, I'd love to talk horses! I have one of my own -- Jerry, who is slightly accident prone and conformationally not so perfect, but I love him silly. My girls both have horses, too -- Jake and Leo.
The sad thing is, I even thought that way yesterday. When I called in to tell them I wouldn't be here yesterday, I asked him to have someone bring up the timecards to my sister.
Doh!
Sad thing is, it is a busy week at work, plus crazy weekend ahead.
and I need to get my sister something for her baby shower on Saturday.
You had to say Leo didn't you RiM :(
For all those who need sunshine, you'll get to live vicariously through me ;-)
This is what we had today:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xLrZOyd4VPo/S5Z0r6oEHpI/AAAAAAAAAd8/AE39Wj9P0xA/s1600-h/080.JPG
Awww, Kristin, I'm sorry. :( We can refer to him as the fat black horse from now on. ::nod::
Beautiful, Corinne! I love the sun.
no worries RiM! It is what it is.
<--- not 'getting' the Leo/horse thing :D
RiM- It was gorgeous today here, though a bit cold. I took this pic this afternoon, from my bedroom.
Nevermind re:Leo. I'm just a little dense ;)
That's Kristin's story to tell. :-D
It's been gorgeous here and I was starting to really get the ol' gardening and flower bug, and then, *wham, it's still winter. I knew it would happen, but I was hoping ...
:)
I guess I should address it here so no one else is left clueless.
Leo is a guy I met in Michigan when I used to visit my grandmother. I have fond memories of him and he has a kind heart - would visit my grandmother after she was diagnosed with cancer - would take her to lunch, take her on walks, etc. I think he is the one that got away.
He is now engaged. :(
Kristin- I'm sorry I even brought it up :s
RiM- I sure hope Winter doesn't make a come back before next year here (I know technically it's still Winter but you know what I mean!)
All right, what's anyone planning for dinner? Spaghetti here, sauce is in the crockpot, but it's just not sounding all that good right now.
Post a Comment
Yes, you said this...
