  • Awww, the twins are precious!!
  • Brenda, they're beautiful!!

    Jellybean, from what I understand Lindsay Lohan is engaged to Samantha Ronson. I am not much of a Lindsay fan. Mean Girls was good but that's because Tina Fey wrote it. Those girls like Paris, Lindsay, etc, just annoy me.

    Pacer, that sucks! Hope they answer your call soon. Thanks for the luck.

    Clay Aiken finally came out? I admit that I thought he was absolutely 100% gay. Although I don't like to assume someone is gay just because they're effeminate, but sometimes it's really hard to not assume something as fact. I hope anyone gay lurking around the board won't hate me for that, because I know stereotypes exist and not every gay person will fit the stereotype and viceversa and it's probably annoying to gay people when people assume someone is gay.

    But still. Clay Aiken! I knew it!!!

    I asked this the other day. I'm looking for a good family movie for our movie night this week. It doesn't have to be animated or new, but it has to entertain a 2 and 4 year old - plus a 35 year old man who refuses to watch "kids movies" Anybody have any ideas?
    Have you considered Batteries Not Included, Dr. Dolittle or Racing Stripes?
  • Brenda, Your daughters are adorable! My mother gave birth to 13 live children, only one set of twins, and they were/are considered the better looking of all of us, though they look NOT even like they belong to our family!
  • thanks... apparently I'm suppose to take the picture down now. At least that's what a couple people have PM'd me.
  • Maybe so there won't be problems with the kids, Brenda? Protection purposes, I would assume.

    Any other reasons given?

    Wow, I'm so behind on the goings on in Hollywood. I guess I care more about my life and the people around me than complete strangers that I've been told I'm supposed to care about.
  • Hi girlies! Late post today. Sorry. I slept off the last of my fever until 8:10 this morning, then had to high-tail it to work. No fever still, just the little cough thing that comes at the end of this virus. Yuck.

    Worked most of the day today, but left work a little after 4. I was just plain tired. Guess my body wasn't quite ready for a full day, even though the high fever was gone.

    I have a phone interview with Blue Cross Blue Shield on Tuesday. That's kind of exciting for me, as I've applied there in the past but have never gotten a call-back. I applied for a position that's technically called "Negotiator I" but Human Resources called it the "Other Party Liability Investigation" position. Sounds challenging and complicated, like a lot of paperwork and being on the phone in a cubicle. Ohhhh how I would love that!!!!!! It pays just a smidge less than I make now, but the benefits would be far better, obviously, and the hours would be set, and if someone else called off, it wouldn't be my problem! And if I chose to let it be my problem, I'd get paid time and a half instead of being expected to do it because it's my job. No more aching feet. I'd get lunch breaks. Heaven....

    So say a prayer girls. The Human Resources lady made SURE to make it understood that this was just a phone interview, and that if they were interested in me after the interview, they'd call me back when they got around to it, so don't bother them with follow-up calls. Ooook. Got it.

    Well, gonna make some dinner and watch a movie as a family. Hope you girls have a great night!

    Lisa
  • So much for autumn, they are forecasting 100 degrees this weekend. Great, well we should be able to have our coffee on the patio early morning but by 9:00 am it will be getting hot.

    Weezle -- A lot of people subscribe to the squeaky wheel theory and drive HR nuts trying to get extra attention. Too often it works but I just can't bring myself to do that (I spent a couple of years working in HR). Best of Luck Weezle. Next year this time I will be looking for work, they are closing the plant I work in down and we are half way through the 2 years notice they gave us. I've been here 20 years, I guess it's time for a change but boy do I have a LOT of rust to knock off my interviewing skills and my resume looks pretty sickly with only one place I worked. Perspective employers aren’t interested in what I did 20 + years ago and as one of the guys I work with mentioned. Trying to include more info just dates me which isn’t going to help me either.
  • yeah... because just old anyone can read these threads.

    It's no big deal.. I keep a blog and post pics there.. otherwise my parents (who are not computer savy) would never see their grandkids. It's not like I post my address or anything. Boston is a pretty big town. LOL

  • I know just how you feel E I loathe having all these cute fall clothes and not being able to wear them.

    Brenda - I have a blog for my son as well....although I'm really bad at updating it...which I constantly get yelled at for.
  • Mel, it said on the news that Lindsay Lohan isn't engaged. That was just rumors.

    This is funny, I found a song called Sittin At The Bar by Rehab and I think it's funny, my sis would like it, lol
  • No way! Lindsay Lohan has the rumor mill running again?! It's like she tries SO hard to stay out of the spotlight and they just continue to follow her....

    "stole my heart in the trailer park..." - sounds like a winner.
  • Didn't LL just announce that she's a lesbian?
  • Zeff - Couple of movie suggestions.....Over the Hedge, Muppet Movie, and the Apple Dumpling Gang.

    Regarding Clay Akin....the conversation I had with dh this morning

    Me - Did you hear they're reporting that Clay Akin has admitted to being gay?

    Dh - Are they also reporting that the sky is blue????

    Made me laugh this morning

    Isn't that always the thing to do when you stop being the number 1 in the spotlight?

    She flashed her "girl parts" a few times...that worked for a few weeks...now she is just as pathetic as she was before...only now half the world has seen her "no-no special spot".
