indeed jilli, I just sit here with my head in my hands and wonder how... but dad assured me it would work out
1:51 am

Yup! And that's why they did it on Jackass :) He mixed it with a bit of soy sauce so it wouldn’t be so stiff then snorted it. I tell you I've never seen anyone vomit so quickly in my entire life. Disgusting yes, but also hilarious :)
1:52 am
mrpresident
but to snort it??? that goes up into the sinus cavity and the brain!! holy moly that must hurt like hell and destroy some linings of the sinuses and brain matter at the same time!!! but anything that can make me laugh at someone else right now is perfect!! and Knoxville is a Jackass for sure.

i can envision her at the mail box,sorting through yet more bills,tired,but firm and handling the entire household.she spots a small card from wildcat,opens it and smiles as one of many loads is lifted from her shoulders and she know that we love and she can stock the kitchen and pay a few bills,and it is not so much for us..not but a week of take out coffee is all,to ease a womans burdens:)

love this, so nice of everyone - reminds me of a few years back when a game and blog site friend announced he had to give up because his PC was broken down - lots of us pooled funds at a central donation site and bought another one to have delivered to him - he was sooo surprised and happy! I love when internet anonymity is bypassed for a good cause! :)

I have never gotten a passport but need to do so soon as planning a tropical trip with a friend next year
12:56 pm

but they were issued back in 1993 so long expired
12:56 pm
Riverdance
how exciting for you sue
12:56 pm
uusue2
not a big deal, river, but you do have to dig up your birth certificate
12:57 pm
uusue2
yes, I am really getting excited about it already!
12:57 pm

1:27 pm

funny, sue .. i shared it off a FB link to a babbler, atalante :)
1:28 pm
uusue2
a lot of my friends are sharing it now too
1:29 pm
welki
the video came at a great time .. my daughter and grand-daughter are here visiting. dad is home, back east ... contemplating another kitten to their familty
1:29 pm
uusue2
ah - we brought a second adult cat into our house, not a great success although they have both survived
1:30 pm
welki
i've always had cats, have really never had a problem with newcomers. even the dogs never seem to mind (except for the border collie, who thinks it's his job to stalk and herd them)
1:32 pm
uusue2
we tried to do the "introduce the new cat gradually" thing
1:32 pm
uusue2
but the new cat opened the door to her room and got out about an hour after we got her, and disappeared into the basement
1:32 pm
uusue2
came out when she was good and ready, meanwhile the old cat took umbrage and still hasn't gotten over it
1:33 pm
uusue2
they coexist but are not exactly friends
1:33 pm
welki
same thing happens with children, sue ... they'll either adjust or they won't *lol*
1:33 pm
uusue2
the dog (who is newer to the household than either cat) doesn't mind them but then she weighs about 70 pounds :-)
1:35 pm
uusue2
indeed, welki :-)
1:36 pm
welki
my oldest is 30 and probably still resents the two life-intruders who are her sisters ... truth be told, the kids are close. i was "one of those" mothers who insisted that they do things together and pounded it into their heads that friends may come and go, but sisters are stuck together until the bitter end :)
1:37 pm
uusue2
ah - I always wish my sister and I had gotten along better - my brother and I were close, though
1:37 pm
welki
i think it's because i don't have a great relationship with my sister that i insisted mine work at it
1:38 pm
uusue2
ah - I solved that problem by only having one child :-/
1:38 pm
welki
and a boy at that!
1:39 pm
uusue2
also true :-)
1:39 pm
uusue2
although I had less choice about that part!
1:40 pm
welki
time to make a move, sue ... the baby's sleeping, so i can get a few things done before the afternoon festivities ... later!
1:40 pm
uusue2
take care, welki!
1:50 pm
uusue2
ok, I have at least half the words from each tile, so I will take a break for a while myself.
1:53 pm

Welcome Woodhood...enjoy yourself!
5:36 pm
BzznBea
Look under "Help". Good stuff there.
5:41 pm
Woodhood
new to game: seems to me that you should be able to reorient the grid? It would help in completing the word list. can I suggest it to the powers that be?
5:43 pm
BzznBea
It would seem to me if you reoriented the grid, the word list would be endless.
5:43 pm
uusue2
I think wood means turning it around without scrambling the letters, bea
5:44 pm
uusue2
and it might make things easier but you do get used to twisting your mind around instead of the grid :-)
5:45 pm
Woodhood
Yes. Turning it around without scrambling. That is correct. That is what I would like to do.

It did not take me ae4/4s amount of time to find 118 words in the grid today. Since fireworks are an5/10, here is a story of clues. I was not very ca 4/6 on my wedding day. My hands got cl4/6my. My best friend, who was my my ma5/12 of honor, tried to ca 4/5 me down. She always tries to ca 4/6 me down when I get nervous.But this time it didn't work. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.Husband and I tied the kn 4/8 in Co4/5ecticut. I thought it was going to be a ne4/4 ceremony, but it wasn't. I had 3 bridesmaids who wore beautiful ma6/21 dresses.Unfortunately,it rained during the ceremony.Everybody had to get cr 4/6med inside a banquet room for the ceremony. My hair got wet and became la 4/8. My husband, Ma4/5, and I tried dancing to Ma 4/6 Anthony cr 5/12ing "I Need You",but I was miserable.During the reception, I ro4/5ed around greeting guests,trying not to cry. I so wanted to run out of the room & sl 4/5 the door. I finally sl 5/18 out of reception before it even ended Later on, my hubby reprimanded me in a nasty to4/4 for leaving reception early. So I reto4/4ed back "and you did not even come to check on me to see if I was ok!"If I'd been sm5/12,I never would have planned an outdoor wedding.I blame the disastrous events of my wedding as the ro 4/4 of all the problems that I have now with hubby.Can hear hubby ne4/5by waiting for computer. Now I'm going to go watch ac5/12 Tommy Lee Jones co5/14 with Sissy Spacek in the movie The Co 4/5 Miner's Daughter. I will be back later to finish.

Hi jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.
9:51 pm
Minveryork
Stidmama, how many sub jobs did you have last week?
9:51 pm
stidmama
two and a half days, Min -- the full days were for people at the local school. LOVED (nearly) every minute!
9:52 pm
Minveryork
I am glad to not be in school anymore taking classes, but glad to be in school as a teacher.
9:52 pm
stidmama
I have a day lined up for next week already, too.
9:53 pm
stidmama
and then the next week I am going to visit some cousins in California, and a great aunt. Mother and I are leaving the "menfolk" behind and braving the perils of travel (hot tubs, room service...) alone! :-D
9:53 pm
Minveryork
What grades did you sub for?Subbing is good because it gives you a chance to teach all different grades.
9:53 pm
stidmama
I did a primary-grade resource room for the half day, then intermediate grades for the full days.
9:54 pm
Minveryork
Are there babblers in CA you could visit while you are out there? I think that negativeneil lives in California
9:54 pm
jmcnrick
it is tiring but interesting
9:54 pm
jmcnrick
negative neil and ru and torg -- where in cal?
9:54 pm
stidmama
there are probably many, but this is really just for family this time.
9:55 pm
stidmama
all over, actually, we will be driving long distances and in various places only long enough to visit the kinfolk
9:56 pm
stidmama
I am glad it is at least interesting, jmc. Tiring goes with the territory of learning, I am afraid. In fact, on Thursday I went to sleep at 6 or 7 pm and didn't wake up until about 8 Friday morning! LOL just learning how to cope with other teachers' lesson plans and schedules is enough
9:57 pm
jmcnrick
i think what is most tiring is the driving down to harrisonburg and then driving the hour to school each day
9:58 pm
jmcnrick
i am getting too old for this crap
9:58 pm
stidmama
blah. driving long distances (in traffic, at least) is not any fun.
9:59 pm
jmcnrick
well 1/2 hour is 5 miles across the mountain pass and the other half hour is on a major trucking highway
9:59 pm
Minveryork
Have a 1 hour&15 minute commute to and from work.
9:59 pm
stidmama
that's a long commute, min
10:00 pm
Minveryork
It sure is!
10:00 pm
jmcnrick
i couldn't do that year in and year out
10:01 pm
jmcnrick
i can only do this because it is 3-4 days a week and not for all year and only for 2 years max
10:01 pm
stidmama
I refuse to drive more than about 45 minutes to teach, and that is in schools I know the administrators/teachers. My first student teaching was so horrible, and the commute so long, that I am just not willing to put my health at risk again.
10:01 pm
