  • My DH is the boss at his work...hmmm
  • OMG not with my boss either!! Known him all my life, more like a relative. Ewwwwwwwweeeeeeeee when you work with all men you know all their itchies and scratchies......GROSS....... not in a million years.
  • thanks for the congrats...but knowing me i gotta stay humble...love to you all

    By the way Suzzane 3FC still can't get into Digichat even with those helpful instructions you sent me but thanks anyway.
  • Glad to see the board is jumpin.

    Tiff, I remember once when I was sick I had a boyfirend that wanted to make me some tea to help feel better. I told him that I couldn't stand tea, but he insisted that I would like this. So he made me a cup and it was pretty good. SO I had another and lo and behold I was really starting to feel better. About the 3rd or 4th cup I asked him what the did he do to make it taste so good and it was doing wonders on how I was feeling. Well.......his secret was Brandy!! What the ffffff? But let me tell ya! I was feeling no pain HA, and now when I get sick I have tea w/ brandy. At least he was good for something . Hope you feel better sweetie....
  • EVERYONE SHAPE UP AND FLY RIGHT!!!! SUZANNE WAS HERE!!! OMG, It is like opening your front door and having the Queen standing there with a bottle of wine, wanting to come in a chat for a while.

    Well, in this case, more like your landlord standing there with a can of Spagetti O's, but I am THRILLED, nonetheless, and honored to have seen you here!

    Ok, the hot tea went by the wayside, as I opened the cabinet and saw the bag of Baked Lays Cheddar and Sour Cream chips sitting there on the shelf. I THOUGHT I heard someone faintly calling for help from inside the bag, and so, it was my civic duty to check it out. I actually like mice (at YOUR house though, not mine) and I was afraid that maybe Stuart was trapped in my bag. So, I opened the bag and peered inside, and didn't SEE anything, so I took the bag over to the scale and dumped some in, and didn't see anything there either...so I ate the 2 servings I dumped in the scale...My reasoning is...now there are LESS chips in the bag, just in case Stuart IS is my bag, he will now have a fighting chance to get up to the top for air. The more I eat, the better his chance of survival.

    And besides, I DID weigh them and write them down. But the agony of trying to crunch up the chips and swallow them carefully, so as to not further irritate my throat was rather comical and REALLY not worth it. I looked like some wild animal swallowing his prey, with big exaggerated gulps, and craning my neck forward, so the passage would be as large and straight as possible.

    For cryin out loud, I should have just had some sugar free jello and been done with this. But the salt is calling me today....

    Anyway Tiger....Glad the price is a little more reasonable that what your friend said. Maybe she is one of those friends that tells you things like that because she doesn't want you to join, because she is afraid you will end up looking better than her. I have a friend like that, she is always saying, "Here, try this cheesecake, it's fat-free, I made it at home", and then I see the Sara Lee box in the trash. She just likes that when we go out together, she is always the focal point...and she doesn't want to lose that. She is the type of person that when you go out to eat...is a food pusher. You all know the type...kind of like your Grandma. "Here, eat this pie, I made it just for YOU, and I will have a stroke and die if you don't eat it." My friend is all about trying to get me to order the Fried Chicken with homestyle gravy and fried okra...etc....so I let her order first and she will get something fattening, and then I order a salad and just let her glare!

    I think the more determined she is to make me fail, the more determined I am to WIN.

    On a side note, my paternal grandmother is sort of like that, only with her cooking. I am a pretty darn good cook, and occasionally, I will ask her for her recipe for something, and she always writes it down and leaves out one important ingredient, or she changes the quantity of ingredients, so it never turns out. And then blames it on me. "Well, you must not be quite the cook that I am."

    So now, I just stick to my cookbooks, or look things up online. Crazy old cow.

    Ok, my rant is over for the day. Another thing...I am SO....SO addicted to the Turkey Lean Cuisine. It has chunks of turkey in gravy over stuffing, I usually have a couple of pieces of lite bread with it too, to sop up my gravy, and then it has the BEST apples in this sweet sauce....OMG, they are to die for. I also will have a can of veggies on the side....but those apples are almost enough to make me write poetry.

    Well, ta-ta....
    Glad to see you Hermit...Uh, I mean Dyan.
    Tiff
  • Ah well, ain't that just like our Tiff. She gives and gives and gives. I am honored to know her! What she wouldn't do for another living creature!

    Like ... wow.

    Actually, I can't imagine eating salty, crispy chips with a sore throat!!! Ouch! You should have stuck with the sugar-free Jello.

    .... uh, that would be ME!!! I'll whip you into shape!!!

    I had a friend who was trying to lose weight. She ate some cake that her friend had made and told her it was low fat. After my friend ate it, her friend admitted that it wasn't really fat free but "hey, I figured a little bit won't hurt you." I told my friend she should bake some cookies with nuts in them (the cake-making liar is allergic) and tell her there are no nuts in them. After the cake-maker eats the cookies, she should admit to putting nuts in it and as the friend is running out the door to the hospital should just call after her "hey, I figured a little bit won't hurt you!!!!"

    Whew. Did that little short story make any sense? Hm, maybe it would to Kayla. No band camps or boys in it though. Hey, Kayla! How ya doing sweetie???

    OK, I'll go now.....
    Slinking off to check all the potato chip bags in the vending machine for Mickey...
  • Well, Done with morning errands. In a few, gotta take the little girl to school. Then, DS and I are heading to the JCP HomeStore. I'm gonna order the sectional. Delivery usually takes 8wks. So, count on me being a wreck for EIGHT WEEKS! Maybe I'll get lucky and loose my appetite!
  • LOL...."running out the door to the hospital"....

    You crack me up. ALthough you sound like me, I am ashamed to admit this, but I like to watch people fall down. Especially in the winter. DON'T GET ME WRONG. I don't want to see anyone get hurt. I just like watching people slip on the ice and throw their arms and legs in the air, and then look around to see who saw them.

    I also like to see grown men hit in the crotch by small children with footballs, golf clubs, etc.

    And, I like to scare people. I really enjoy hiding behind things and jumping out and scaring people. The louder they scream, the more I like it.

    I was a troubled youth. These are all forms of cheap therapy. Leave me alone.
  • Ohmygawd!! Jello and Tiff you guys have me ROTFLMAO!! I am seriously sitting here w/ tears in my eyes, trying not to fall out of chair! I almost choked trying to laugh silently, but in the end I just let it all out and the people in the surrounding cubicles are probably wonder the heck I'm doing over here.

    Thanks for the laugh! I totally needed it! I feel the same way Tiff, I don't want to see anyone get hurt either. Why else would I watch America's Funniest Home Videos? The people that they get to host the show and those that write the corny lines, need to be shot, but I do love to watch the videos!
  • Glad to see you ladies have returned to your normal selfs.
    NOTE TO SELF: Do not under any circumstance agree to meet these ladies during the winter months. SECOND NOTE: Never allow hubby to play sports with their children..

    Potato Chips with a sore throat........ you deserved those babies if you wanted them bad enough to go through that pain. Whew...

    You all crack me up..............
  • Ah Semo, I wouldn't whack YOUR hubby in the jewels.
  • What about pushing me down in the snow??
  • Ummm, can't rule that one out.
  • Well, I wanted to party with you guys but it's starting to sound kinda dangerous. Could end up on doin' weird things to my boss with icicles up my nose or somethin'. Hm, I don't think my mom wants me to play with you any more.....

    HA!! Never listened to mom before!

    I just realized about 15 minutes ago that I have a stain on the ... uh chest ... of the shirt I've been wearing all day. Wonder how long that's been there and who's noticed. Don'tcha hate when that happens?

    Ah but I'm in a good mood. I have been so good today and have plenty of calories left over for dinner tonight. So what'll it be? Spaghettios?

    Notice how I get something stuck in my head and can't seem to let it go? I blame Chef Boyardee.

    Well, I certainly can't blame you guys!

    Getting late. Gotta jam!

    Hmmm.... jammmmm!!!

    Now I blame Smuckers...
