I KNEW there was a "Y" in there, but couldn't remember WHERE!!!!! I LOVED that cartoon Mauvais!!!!

Me too Bugs Bunny world opera sensation...Love it LOL!

OOG!! Now that DH has started the new job and we are within a few paychecks of being middle class (:lol: ) I hope we can QUICKLY save up for that new dryer!!! We went to the laundromat with a house full of dirty clothes, and spent hours washing, drying and folding!! The washer works here, but with all the rain and laziness we had gotten WAY behind on the laundry, and needed to take desperate steps to get caught up. The up side: the kids stayed home and DH and I had some "alone" time......GEEZ! the romance never stops around here!!!!

:lol: Glad you had a good date, Den. I can TOTALLY relate. :lol:

Ha! Ha! :lol: Nice "date" Den!

When I was a kid we used to go to the laundromat when I was a kid to do all the bed linen, comforters and towels. I used to enjoy passing time reading with the comforting drone of the dryers in the background and then helping my parents fold the towels. My mum also used to give me some change for the candy machines :)

I mentioned going to the laundromat to DH to get caught up on the post blackout laundry heap and he looked at me like I was insane.

:shrug: guess I just have fond childhood memories of being there! :lol:

I worked in a laundromat when I was 18. I did the evening shift, from 5 'til 10pm. I really liked that job....the hum of the machines, the radio playing, chatting with the regulars, even the scrubbing of the machines and mopping every night. Weird.

Uh huh. Very soothing. My sister used to work in Wringers, Mauvais. Did you ever go in there?

We were there from 8:30 until close to 11 pm. The place stays open until midnight!! I love the music they play there too. We used to go a lot before we moved, and almost every time we go that Pretenders song that has the line, "Watching the clothes go round...." comes on. People are usually pretty friendly there too. THIS time we had so much laundry it was a DRAG though!!! My shoulder blades were actually sore by the time we came home!!

I hate laundry and it never ends here, we do at least two loads every day if not more. Oh well, beats going naked! At least for the neighbors Ha, ha!
I gotta get back on track girls and I think part of that is daily contact with my GIRLS. You guys are inspiration in some strange demented way. Just joking! I love you guys. Need to get my life motivated again.
Chat soon
Virginia

Glad you are back Virginia - stay strong, get back on track- you can do it :cb:

Whew! I will never be able to keep up with all this. Yes, we all need to get back on track. SBD is working for some of us but everyone has to find their own plan. OMG! I'm sounding like Little Mary Sunshine! Anyhow, the nickel has finally dropped for me and I'll try to keep chatting away in here.
Enjoy the weekend!

Ruth-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......That's us Ruth, YOU are Little Mary Sunshine and I'm Pippy Longstockings!!!!! (Theme starts up....."Always look on the bright side of life....") MOTIVATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you have lemons, bite them and pucker up!!!

Wanttolose-I'm hurt.....first you say we are strange and demented, and then you say we are joking. Why Why compliment us and then take it back?!? :lol:

Hi there Alternachicks!!!

Time to check in for me. Sorry, I have been out more then in. Wed. was another out with Mom night. Thursday I had a "dentist" appointment so I had to leave work early. I went out with a friend to a community full of mediums. That would be the people with psychic-type powers, not the size. ;) I had never been, and it was a lot of fun. I didn't have a reading done, but that was ok with me. Friday, I did something I haven't done in a long time. I came home from work, and slept on and off from 5pm to 9am. It was wonderful. Yesterday, I just cleaned some more around the house. It has been a slow process, but it is getting clean and staying that way. I have really been focused on organizing my house & myself.

Welcome back Virginia! That is not the first time I have been called strange and demented. :lol:

Hi Ruthxxx! Glad you can pop in sometimes :)

Den - I am glad you had a wonderful "date"

Ellis - I have NEVER been able to run a mile. I am impressed.

Lidian - Things are easier when there is a set schedule. We will get back on track :yes:

Wildfire - Hi there! Thanks for poping in too. We miss you :wave:

Mauvais - That was a great cartoon.

HELLO to everyone!

:mouse:


Forgot to add - Went Midnight Bowling last night with sis#2. I haven't done that in a long time but it was a blast! Bowled for 2 hours. It has to count as exercise right?? :D

Squeak, what a busy life you're leading! Woof!
Sounds like you really needed that sleep, hon.
Hey, did you feel new muscles after bowling with your sister? What a hoot... I haven't done that for ages, either. I wonder if my sister would like a bowling night out...

Den, are you still feeling good today? I think you had a good day yesterday... hope it lasts, sweetie!

Ruth, I cannot BELIEVE you said that! :lol:
;)

Virginia, get your butt in here. :drill:

Mauvais? Update on your Mom, please. :grouphug: Thinking of you, hon.

Speaking of butts, where is Wildfire, Sflake, Lidian, Twodog, Chris, Jessica, Ginya, Soozie, Merrylegs, Sandi, ... and everyone else?! And where on earth is Sojo?

Ummm... I'm thinking that perhaps we should start a new chat. Perhaps a September one? :D

Nor can I, Ellis! I've decided to be nice for the month of Spetmeber so I've edited it out.
(It is sooooo boring being nice but I'll try if it helps me lose weight. Actually, I'll do almost anything except skip dim sum to lose weight!)
