Weekend Chat, 10/16 & 10/17
 

Good Morning Gang! :wave:

I'm drinking my :coffee: and then I have to get dressed so I can go watch our band perform at the band festival this morning.

Homecoming events were good last night, but there was some extra excitement on the field during half time. One of our younger band members must have locked up his knees while the Homecoming Court was walking because he passed out cold and hit the ground. Poor guy! Broke his trumpet in half when he hit the ground but thankfully he did not hurt himself when he feel. I have heard the band director remind them a 1000 times not to lock their knees but I do believe that is the first time I've ever seen that actually happen.

Ok well I'm gonna grab another cup of coffee and hit the showers.

What's everybody up to today?

hugs,
cathy

Hey Cathy !!

Good to see some one else start the thread :D

Oh that poor kid. I've never heard of that (locking knees) and I used to be in a band too....I played the trumpet for a short while (eeeeeeegads) and then I went to the flag section LOL!!!

I just got up myself, finally I had a good nights sleep :D

My house is a mess, a disaster area for sure, so thats what I'll be doing this morning.
Laundry is almost done, I just need to fold and put it away.

How's everyone this beautiful Saturday Morning ?

SNOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good snooze Liz :D

What does it mean to lock his knees?

just got back - I'm hot and tired - but the band looked good - course they were hot and tired too LOl

lock his knees means while you are standing perfectly straight, like at attention, you are not suppose to lock your knees, straight, tight, you are suppose to slightly bend your knees. I don't know what the deal is, if it cuts off circulation to your head or makes your blood pressure drop low or what, but it must do something because you are always hearing people tell you not to lock your knees for long periods of time.

maybe our nurse liz could explain why that happens

hey gang - it's 8:10 pm in Louisiana
anybody wanna meet me in the chatroom?
I'll wait awhile and see if anybody shows up.
hugs

Hi, I finally registerd on this site. I always come and read what everyone posts and I figured it was time to get involved. I could use some help and I think I need to talk to people, especially people who understand. Since I am new I'm not really sure what to do, or what to expect.

Hi Smile, glad you joined us. I couldn't tell you what to expect here, it gets crazy, fun, sad, happy, quiet, chatty....you get the picture lol. It is a loving small group and thats what I like, you don't feel like you get lost in the #'s if you know what I mean.

The first thing you could do is go to the top of the board and where it says Bio's fill one out, this will tell us about you and you can read about us. Then just jump in the daily's and anything else you like. I only ask that you'd be patient with responses from others. Some days things are slow and some days they are really busy. But thats the norm with any board.

The main this is to have fun and we are all here to receive help but also to give help.

Welcome !!!!!

Leenie

Ohh good morning LOLOL !!!!

I gotta go food shopping WAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! I hate it! people act like they are giving stuff away...insane. Got an extra load of laundry to do since DD decided to puke on her bed last night. She's such a twit, DH was going to change her diaper and she didn't want him to, so she started crying to the point where it made her puke :lol3:

I got a pot roast cooking and I have to figure out one more dish for the week. Ewww mentioning pot roast after puking didn't sound good lol.

Its beautiful out so we will be outside today for most of the day.

Tomorrow I'll be home from work. I got alergy testing in the morning so there's no sense in going to work for 3 hours (by the time I get DD to my mom's drive to work, etc).

Okay time to get dressed.................TOODLES :D

:coffee: Good Morning. it is a cold 27F here today! But that is ok, I love fall. My dh is working this morning. When he gets back and we all have lunch we are going out to look for a winter coat for me. Mine is HUGE. Then off to my mums to show of my new car.

Have a wonderful day.

Hello Ladies
 

:cool: Liz: SNOW! In October! :dizzy: That Alberta Clipper is showing up early. :p

Leenie: We're having pot roast too ;) . I put it in the crock pot last night. Sunday afternoon is usually eat & run (DH works 2-9, so he has to leave church, stop home & go to work), so I made us a couple of sandwiches. Enjoy your beautiful day!

Dee: Glad you're here! Sounds like good coat-shopping weather :D

Smile: Welcome! :D

Cathy: Homecoming sounded like fun. I'm glad that young man is alright. :)

April: Hope you're doing well & staying warm up there. :sunny:

Tippy: What's up? :gossip:

Same old same old here. Not doing much. Church was good as usual :) . Unfortunately, there is no joy in Red Sox Nation :cry: :no: Those :censored: YANKEES are at it again :mad: . I hope that the Sox can at least hold on until the series goes back to NYC-I don't want to see it end at Fenway. :(

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! ;)

Leens you would be amazed what nurses talk about while they are eating!

Just woke up...gonna try to wake up and then off to 6 pm youth mass. Teaching CPR tomorrow.

Have a good sunday evening.

Hi All,
Long time no post. Sadly, I just stopped caring about nutrition, but I am back on the wagon :). This time I am hoping for life!

Anyways, when I was in band my director told us not to lock our knees all the time. I used to think it was an old wives tale!! I feel bad for the guy. I hope his trumpet is insured.

I will be crossing my fingers for the red sox too (I do NOT like the Yankee's)

Have a great remainder of the weekend.

Good to see you back again! :)

:D Thanks for cheering for the Sox! We need all the help we can get!!! :lol:

WOW, look at all you guys :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Joanne, I don't watch baseball, I really could care less (sorry) who wins but for you, I hope your team does ;) I make my roast on the top of the stove, I put about 1/2 cup of oil in a pot, and then I add a roast frozen. I cook it for about 3 1/2 hrs turning it every 1/2 hour (with a lid of course). 1/2 hr before its done I add a LOT of onions, then I cut it up and make gravy, YUMMMM!

Tiffanie I'm glad your back. I am also having a hard time. But one thing I do is stay here b/c the support is unmeasurable :D

HEY DEE !! Enjoy shopping for your new coat. Let us know what you get :s:

Liz, I bet you guys get really gross and don't even realize it LOLOL !!!! I'm glad some one can handle what you all go thru .... Thank you !!!

APRILLLLLLLLL!!!!! good to see you lady and I'm glad your feeling better :D How's your son and his new wife liking the married life ? grand babies yet LOL ;)

Well I'm off to get DD to bed.

Hugs everyone !!

Good evening :( Well I didn't get a coat... I realized that I am going to have to spend about 2-3 hundred bucks for the coat and the ski pants... that is alot when I am not even sure if it will fit me next year.

So, I have to wait...

Hey Dee, can you get one at a second hand shop? Look around, I bet you can. This way you can buy the one you want next year and not spend alot this year :D

Yup! that is my plan. I really need ski pants if I want to walk.. I have the dog I have to worry about anyway.. so I will visit the store today...
