KarenMO, since I’m two hours behind you, I will guess that the closings are done and you’re finishing the moving. Yes, next week, life will be easier for you.


Bobbi, I might be good but you’re better – you keep winning.

KarenFL, I’m about 2 hours into A Good Dog. I still don’t like Adam. So far he’s still an arrogant XY chromosome and I’d have like the judge throwing him into the slammer. I do like that doggie though. Wowza on your DB getting mom’s birth year wrong. Hello? Check and Double Check…

Brenda, go to shrinkpictures dot com and save it to be the max size of 500 kb.

Lynn, I love the Walmart cake. Especially the conversation “This be Walmart.”

Rosey, the daughter that is coming is the one from OR. Right? And they’re moving up to AK permanently and driving there starting Saturday? She’s in my thoughts. Hard time to be driving/moving. I love the sweater and tank. Congrats on the NSV. Your DH is 100% right.

Deelee, I saw that the Oreo was 100 years old on the package. Such yumminess. I don’t think there is a Skype app for iPad. Apple has a built-in iChat so they would never let a competitor have an app on their website.

Ciecie, maybe during the first years, the Girl Scouts sold Oreos.

As far as my life as a couch potato goes – I worked all darn day. I think I put in 9 hours. I don’t plan to do that again. Way too long and it took away my nap. As I’m not tired, that should be ok, but still, I’m on leave. I had one of those cute little Oreos today. Yummy. I think tomorrow I’ll make chocolate chip cookies. Or maybe not. Who knows what craving will take me over tomorrow.
Marie

Donna...Thank you....Had too many years as pysch nurse not to be concerned. k3

they could have sold oreos during the first five years. my favorite girl scout cookies when i was growing up were savannahs-the peanut butter cookie, chocolate and vanilla cremes-especially chocolate and thin minst.

Ciecie, I'm thinking discussing GS Cookies might be bad. I always loved Thin Mints. Just in recent years had I tried Samoas and learned of their goodness. Sadly (but probably it is a good thing) I can no longer have any GS cookies because I had a soy reaction to Samoas and the package said "Made in a plant with peanuts and soy" or something like that. Since I'm deathly allergic and did have a reaction, I can't have their product again unless they take care against cross contamination. But I sure did enjoy those Samaos for a couple years.

With St Patrick's Day coming up, I'm thinking about my late MIL. She passed away 7 years ago. Right before Valentine's day we received a card from her...I recognized her handwriting on the envelope. I was confused, because she didn't usually send us a valentine card. I opened it up and it was a St Patrick's day card. We told her son who lived with her that she was a little early with the card and we all had a little chuckle over it. They are not Irish, they are Slovak, but she got the cards from the church, because of St Patrick. She didn't realize when St Patrick's Day actually was, so she sent the cards out right after she got them. Do you know, she passed away on March 14, and her funeral was on St Patrick's Day! How weird was that? It's like she knew she wasn't going to be here so she wanted to make sure the cards went out. So now I always think of her around St Patricks Day, and we talk about the story of the card.

Lynn...forgot to ask you something, do you have the spider solitaire game that keeps track of your wins/losses by percentage? I had a spider game on my crashed computer that was easy on the eyes to see and kept track of how many games I've played,(over 2,000) and my percentage rate of wins. I can't remember who's site I downloaded the game from. Do you have this version? If so...what's the site?
Marie...it's the luck of the tiles drawn. This game we're on now is neck to neck.
One last thing, I didn't have to put my password into my old computer when I turned it on in the morning. I think it's a pain in the butt, what does everyone do? Do you have to open cp with a password, is that the safest? Should I keep it that way?

Hi Goldens -

Well, in my boredom I looked at my hair and decided I had to get my hair colored. Highlights and a base. Takes a long time. I weigh myself daily - I know, I know. Have good days and bad. Yesterday was good. Today bad. I thought I was very good yesterday. Maybe I ate too much chicken? Sigh. I just have to be better today. I know hormones and water weight, ect., etc., can effect it. So I’ll try to hold steady. My son is completing his fire fighting training and there is a little ceremony today. He was sworn in as a firefighter in January - and there was a ceremony then. You know what that means - CAKE - my favorite drug of choice. And, since one little piece doesn’t do it for me - I better abstain. But that cake will be imprinted on my brain, maybe haunt me. Oh well, today is my son’s great day - his dream come true. It’s not about me.

Marie - when my book club was skyping my friend was using a Mac Book. So maybe we weren’t skyping but “Chatting With Friends.” But they were calling it Skyping. I’ll have to check with my friends. Maybe it’s like tissue and Kleenex?

Bobbi - I have to put in my passs word every day. I guess because we had 4 people using most of the computers. What is even worse is that my son set up my net book to go off if I haven't typed something for a little while. He did this because we got that for traveling and that would protect all the top secret stuff I have on my computer. LOL! I keep meaning to ask him to change it.

I’m sorry girls - just cranky because of all this disruption with the workmen. And I get cranky when the scale hasn't gone down when **** it - it should! Or at least stay the same. I’m find with staying the same. But it went up 2 lbs. - that’s what’s really making me cranky. Sorry to be obsessing about this but I figure, this is the place to do it. Maybe I’ll go to heath club after ceremony - and NO CAKE!

Hope you all have a good day.

Karen31- Are you in the new house already? That was fast. I guess when you make up your mind to do it, you just do it! Congratulations to you.

Maryea - I hope you don't have too much to do on the AZ house. It would be nice just to get it sold. Since it's going for such a low price, don't you think the buyers would be glad to fix up some of the things? DH's niece was supposed to be buying a forclosure house in the Phoenix area and I thought everything was all set, but when it came time to close they didn't have the $7,000 closing costs and couldn't get help from anyone. Her Dad had already sent them the down payment. Wouldn't it make sense to have that all worked out before you even started looking for a house????? Did they think that someone was just going to have an extra $7K sitting around waiting for them to ask? Kids make me so mad sometimes. Well maybe they learned their lesson and will have things in order next time.
