Bore Cow
 

sorry to start such a dismal thread,but i am a borecow this week---as kiwi can attest it has been raining or snowing all week---damp ,cold,ugly weather----all heading to the dreaded winter------and the time will change this week meaning it will be dark at suppertime------Ds9 started HOCKEY this week---he is over the moon about it, and i am dreading freezing me arse off at the rink-----he looked SO cute in his gear and so CANADIAN fer shure!!!!---------GO MARLINS!!!!!!!

Let's see. What can I write? I am the American version of Borecow. Our kids look American when they wear shorts and tee shirts. My son never wears shorts. He always wears tee shirts. Can he be half-American?

Have you ever hard of "Oppositional Disorder?" It's the new label you can apply to your kid if they are bratty. Then you can medicate them. A woman I know has a 13-yo girl who is constantly in trouble with the law; skips school; hits her mom. Now, she has something to blame it on.

Really Americans wear polarfleece over their t-shirts.

Yeah, I've heard of Oppositional Disorder. It used to be called "being contrary".

I have a disorder too: it's called Occupational Aversion Disorder. I want my medications.

i have OAD too kiwi---------sometimes i even feel guilty cause i won't SUBSTITUTE teach and LUSHbat does--------but then it goes away and i feel much better.gotta go watch ER----anyone heard from Suga????

Nope, haven't heard from Sugar, didn't even hear anything when she snuck onto our continent.

I've been off having the mother of all headaches.:headache: It made me miss another beautiful fall day. I couldn't even take my head out from under the pillow to enjoy it. I wish I could get back all the migraine days of my life.

I am the northwest version of Bore Cow. My plans for the weekend? Waving goodbye to DH as he goes fishing all day on Saturday. waaaah.

I have OAD too. I do go to the office, I just do everything I can do to actually avoid work once I get here. There is nothing fascinating about sending out billings, nagging ppl to pay their bills, getting money, sending out money to pay my bills. It's like doing dishes. Endless and boring.

My son spent years not wearing shorts. For some reason he thought his legs were too hairy. Now for some reason he wears shorts again. He and gf are moving out of the house across the street from us. They've decided to rent a condo - less money, less maintenance than a house. He will miss his Dad's shop.

Now, was that boring enough for you? I should go take digital photos of the pretty fall foliage and send to you. I should, but I probably won't get around to it.

and no, that's nobody I know. But that is one awesome yawn.

Sugar is in Florida. She and I are wearing bathing suits and polar-freece-Hawaiian-print throws around our hips.

I have not been notified lately of postings here and was thinking no one was home. I was gonna come sing. So I still will.

No folage color changes here. Green. Brown. Gone.

See previous picture for reaction.

See other end of baby for reply.

Canning tomatoes? you're making me tired.

My stint as a full time worker is almost over and boy, I can't wait. My life works much better when I just work when I feel like it.

My computer's been down for a few days...now I'm too busy to talk because I could write this message on top of this table. Tomorrow is DH's birthday and I have NOTHING done...I'm going to go slap on a book on tape and give the house one honest hour. bye

Heyloooooooooooooo I remember when we did that, but I don't remember what website it was. Hmm. I would think maybe it had to do with the version of Internet Explorer you are using, but if DS can get it on his laptop at school, that is not likely the case. I would suggest that your isp is the problem. Some isp's don't allow constant updating of every page -- they use a cached version and that could be a problem. The other possibility would be maybe they have the website blocked for some reason.

you two talk about that boring website crap on your own time----talk about BORE cows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-----------oh welcome back working cow Lush---you were missed.i can write on my tables too!!!

The isp wife says they don't and can't block anything. I don't know about updating because it doesn't come up at all.

Good morning, Bagziepoo. *kiss* *kiss* How's your weight? I lost a pound or two. Yay.

You all don't know boring!!
 

I'm the boring one. Kids, work, and that's it. Oh yea, add the fact that 99% of the adults talked to are on the pc. Not that I don't enjoy you all, but I need to get a life!

Pumpkin had a friend spend the night last night. We went to a pumpkin farm and did the hayride, etc., thing, hit the park and then came home and ordered pizza. Granny had just bought pumpkin a dry erase board and that is the ONLY toy they have played with. Well, the 3 of us did do the Miss Mary Mack thing a million times. :dizzy:

I should be cleaning today, but I am going to take the girls to play at my parents (they are having a tea party with my mom) and I am off to the office for a few hours.

Colors are changing here, but it is supposed to be 90 here today!!! I am ready for some cool weather!! I want to use the wood burning stove!! I want to sit on my porch and watch it rain!!! (YEa, remind that in a couple of weeks when I am complaining about driving to work in the rain!! ):smug:

I wonder if Sugar is having a good time??

Peachbutt
 

You guys are hilarious! Hmmm. I'd say you are definitely NOT boring, but you seem to want to be, so, uh, I'll just say thanks to Kiwonk for welcoming our Courtly Challengers to this part of the forum!! :)

That was nice, Kiwonk! :wave:

I am on AIM. I don't see you.

hey amarantha!!
 

i grow you in my garden!! you look like an elegant piece of burgundy velvet chenille----now THAT is regal!!!------yes,we have been called hi larry ***,but mostly people come in and leave after Peachers tries to date them.hopefully i will get in trouble for saying that.------muffie---come here and watch the SNOW!!!!!!! i love that you went to a pumpkin farm ======i would LOVE that!!!!! when is lushbat finished that stupid job--- i need to talk to her about points.

date them? have we had guys? What is Courtly Challenger? Where are my crack-laced mints and chicken legs?

Your chicken legs are under your cow hips.

Should I be mad that NO ONE in my family remembered that my DD had surgery this summer? Never asked how she was? Too late, I already am. They are all bugging me to execute the will, but to be honest....I just don't feel like it. I think I'll go to work....1.5 more weeks until I'm free. Turns out third graders can be as annoying as first graders...without the bathroom uncertainty.
Should I bake a cake and take it next door? DH always says to beware of the first neighbor who visits you in a new neighborhood.
Is Sugar having fun? Why can't she post?
bye

I was so hurt by that comment that I had to eat seven Krispy Kreme donuts just to soothe my nerves.

hoo haaaaaaaaaaa
 

glad you posted lushie---reminds me why i don't SUB----i LOVE having the quiet house to myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have NEVER had a Crispy Creme Doughnut and i have wanted one since i saw john travolta as president clinton eating them in primary colours stop being such a hog peachers and SEND me one----no wonder your arse looks like a turkey carcass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!now i am REALLY in trouble--------hahahahahahaha HAPPY HALLOWE'EN----------------- I AM PLANNING MY CHRISTMAS DISPLAYS ON NOVEMBER FIRST----- THIS YEAR----the theme will be Renaissance Opulence-------i am tired of my silver and blue fantasy i was next door and they are very entertaining-----maybe we should just graze here and go over there and looose weight--------------- we did kind of get into trouble mixing it up in Dusty's forum----best learn from our mistakes--------------gotta go read flylady so i can start christmas preparations right away

wow.wow.wow. Amarantha woman! Your numbers are so very impressive! Tell us how you lose 90.5 pounds! We are pretty durn amusing. To us, anyway. I'm so happy Lushy and Bagzie are back posting here in their usual hi larry *** way. Peachy probably isn't as happy about it. Turkey carcass???? that hurt. Chicken legs?? owie. Peachy you know I'd never say such things. I'd be afraid I'd get them back. So you've put your lasagna bed to sleep for the winter, Kiwi? Did you really can your tomatoes? My sil makes freezer salsa that is yummers out of her tomatoes. I like this rambling, no paragraph way of posting. What is flylady saying about Christmas preparations, Bagz? I haven't even got a pumpkin for Halloween yet. I spent all weekend out in the yard - it was sunny and 75 degrees. :cool: Muffie, I used to do the pumpkin patch thing with the kiddos. No kiddos to do that with anymore. We visited a friend who's grown children were over w/ the grandbabies. So cute. A 4 yr old boy, a 2 yr old girl, and a 3 month old baby. Maybe old age won't be so bad if I get to have grandbabies. Not that I'm ready for that yet. because you know I'm just a young chickie. :chicken: We have Krispy Kreme donut shops here, but I have never indulged. Not something I want to get started on. I am a food addict. I can't start, because then I never stop. I bought a cake mix and frosting in a can with Halloween decoration stuff. I was going to make cupcakes to take to work and give my kids. I didn't make the cake, but I did open the frosting and licked about 1/2 the can off my finger. I think maybe I should just take all the stuff and throw it in the trash because I obviously can't be trusted with it. Go visit your new neighbor, Lush. We want a report.

Hi Amarantha -- delighted to meet you and your CC's!


Whalll, goollllllly, Peachfuzz, I ain't waitin' all durn day fer you t'show up. Anyway, that website is gone, gone, gone. Although from looking up references to it, there are still some people who can get into it, but have also seen people saying they can't. I can't. You can't. DS'll get over it. From what I hear he was just going to say rude things about Martha Stewart anyway...


1-Absolutely. Always hold grudges against thoughtless relatives; I do
2-I managed to pee in class in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. So there.
3-Yes, maybe they will avoid you in future.

MMM Krispy Kreme I :love: Krispy Kreme! Spell it with K's, Bagz, just like my name. MMMM. I don't really think they'd survive the trip from FL to NB. I can't even get them here. boohoo I always buy them when I visit my family in NC. Then my mother eats most of them. :rolleyes:


1-I'm still contemplating canning tomatoes -- I actually got out the jars and lids this afternoon (then I got on the 'puter...)
2-I'm doing the exact opposite today: the totally anal, numbered and organized reply -- sickening isn't it? Maybe tomorrow I'll go rambling.
3-Neither have I! It's almost too late!
4-You really are bad! :lol: (like I should talk--I ate everything in the house yesterday, I think -- I was so bloated when I went to bed I couldn't sleep. Lordy, I'm actually so disgusted with myself I may not look at food for a while. You know, a couple of minutes)

I have to go read up on hot pack vs cold pack. :wave:

Kiwi

Stop it now!!!!!!!!!1
 

NO MORE KRISPY CREAM TALKING AROUND HERE!!!!!!!!

Lush, do you have a lawyer helping you execute the will? If not, and if you run into any snags, let me know. I can direct you to some resources that may help you. I have some experience when I worked for the boss from ****!

Bagzie, I am on my way!!! Snow!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Wabby will make an excellent Nana when it happens! How fun!! When I was at the pumpkin farm this dad holding a two month old sat down next to me. We started talking about kids, and he let me hold the baby. Schwwwwwweeeeeeettttttt!! (As pumkin would say, and I think it actually means cool these days!) I love babies!!

Who said they had a relative that makes freezer salsa? Was I imagining this??? I need details.

I still don't know what the heck a lasagna garden is.

I wouldn't say that Peachers dates the newbies, I would say that she puts them through the test as a parent would when a boy comes to pick up their daughter for the first time!!

It is girl's night here. The boy child got a last minute invite to go hear Michael Moore (sp?) speak this evening. Personally, I don't agree with a lot of Moore's political talking, but believe me, it is right up the boy child's alley!! There have been many of errrrr, debates (read knock down drag outs) in this household because of our opposing views, but I am thrilled he is getting the opportunity. Although we knock heads on politics, I am thrilled and impressed by his sticking to his beliefs. He just needs to learn when/where/and how to respectfully debate/discuss them.

:wave: Hello to the new neighbors!! You all sound like a grande group!

Time to go eat dinner. Nothing good for me, chicken salad sandwich that granny made. But she at least uses the skinny mayo and even divides that in half with yogurt. Now tell me, how did she know that I was craving that all weekend??? I am half way home from work tonite and she calls the cell to tell me to stop by on the way home and pick it up!!

Have I ever told you all how I love her so????!!!

Cowper, I have no advice to give on how to let the old guy down gently. We used to have a sweet old lady who would bring little glass objects into our shop to have various repairs done to them, like grinding down little sharp spots, etc. Now mind you, this is not what our company does, we would be broke if we paid journeymen glaziers to do that all day. Anywho, after we started doing these little favors for her we couldn't shake her. Eventually she got old enough to get her driver's license revoked so she couldn't get here. One thing about old folks, eventually the problem will take care of itself. As it will for all of us. gulp.

Oooo. I forgot to tell you all - a salesman brought Krispy Kreme donuts into the office this morning. News flash - - - these things are just donuts. I don't get what the big deal is.

:rollpin: WHAT???? HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ILL OF MY LIFELONG LOVE?

Psst: Bagz, don't tell her which ones are the ones to die for :ziplip: -- she's better off not knowing.

Cowp, I don't think the little old man will keel over if you inform him that your paper doesn't have room for too many articles of this nature, or that a reporter generally has to do the reporting herself. Y'know, even if it's not true.

And I still can't get in that site. What's the trick?

Tomorrow I have to peel carrots for 3 hours. Doesn't that sound exciting? I signed up to help prepare a big turkey supper for the Performing Arts Boosters fundraiser. At least this way I won't feel bad about not showing up the next day to eat there :s:

That is literally all I have to say for myself today.

Kiwi

Well that just won't do, come back here and keep me company!

I have the salsa making relative. I'll see if she can give me her recipe.

Funny....
 

amazing picture. I was looking for elves.

Kiwi, I know what you mean about the tomato canning. I don't do tomatoes, but I make this Ginger Pear butter every year. (anyway the last 2 years) There is something about the jars lined up on the kitchen counter that gives some sort of satisfaction. Must be the nesting instinct, or the squirrel instinct, or something to that effect.

Peachers, don't get so angry with your haircutter. Maybe he's on a diet, or maybe he just got hit up by the last kid sitting in his barber's chair, or maybe he's just burned out by all the fundraisers by all the schools and sports teams and girlscouts, and cub scouts, and outdoor school fundraisers, and kid selling wrapping paper, and kid selling candy bars, and kid selling pepperoni sticks and kid selling Christmas wreaths, etc. Doesn't mean that he won't buy the next time DS has a fund raiser, or maybe he just has a no fundraiser policy at his shop. And don't feel bad about work - think of all the times you DO complete your assignment. And if you'd like to completely disregard the last two blurbs of advice, that would be fine, and I won't get either angry or feel bad. :dizzy:

It's the next day and there are still 2 of these d*mn donuts left here in the office.

The sunny autumn is gone. We're into gray and rainy. Supposed to be nice for the little trick or treaters on friday, though. My little trick or treaters grew up and we don't get any neighborhood kids that will walk down that long. dark driveway for a candy bar. Boo.

i have nothing interesting to say except that dieting is eternallly BORing and now that i have lost ten pounds and regained two i am bored and why not just regain the other eight in time to start my Christmas Pig Out-------LOSING weight is HARD,but keeping if OFF is WAYYYYYYYY harder.That is all for now. ****. and devil and arse.
