I was going to post but after reading Kid's and WVD, I don't feel the need to. They did a good job! lmfao...............................( :


Wait. Why is Patton going out of town?

This week I learned:

I feel lost when the website is down. Love my daily dysfunctional family reunions!

My baby grand daughter has eczema.....too much dry heat and cold air. Poor thing!

TxEx is neat, but doesn't have a Texan drawl.

Yep, Dragon has mus-cles!

The death penalty thread has me rethinking my stand on the issue. Haven't actually changed my mind, but been wondering if I really am a big hypocrite.

I have a whole family of beautiful cardinals in my yard. The bright red is gorgeous against the ice.

Angelina Jolie is pregnant again.

Lets see....what can I add?

I have an holiday coming up but will have to go with generic altar and possibly freeze. (it'll be ok, though)

Hubby will NOT be bringing dinner home....but he may cook something gluten-free this wknd.

As always, I can never get away with just abiding by the rules in here.....I always get called on it! biggrin.gif

I learned once again, I am very proud of my children.

The Judge said a stupid comment.

It's not always a black and white issue.

Everyone in Hagerstown isn't a racist.

Doesn't pay the harp on certain things that you can not change.

Everyone will always have different view points, we should respect that.

You should pick your battles carefully and be sure you know all the facts.
Heather
* My accent is thicker than I thought.

* Ladies luncheoned without me. sad.gif

* Pasty's leg is ok.

* Greedy has dropped off the face of the earth.

* Just because two days of not smoking went well, doesn't mean the third is a breeze.

* Playing ping pong is a workout for me. ph34r.gif
Heather
* Patton is bitter. He feels like he is wrong...all the time.

Did you get banned? Did you feel you were wronged? Are you REEALLY trying to take up BMIC's legacy?

Ah yes........let me add one more thing; I learned, once again, just how much I miss everyone in the 4 state area. Grocery stores that cater to restricted diets, people who get together and have lunch with each other (you didn't invite me either sad.gif ) people who meet in the park to duke it out( laugh.gif y'all are really too much!) and people who meet at the bookstore to duke it out !!! And people who call other people the Supremes and then have to apologize......believe me, get into the north or the midwest, and no one will even have enough personality to do either..................people who discuss their favorite mattresses (there is really only one thing Siriunsun thinx about when purchasing a mattress!) and people who can dare to differ on issues like the death penalty. Yes...in a lot of places, people just think what they are told to think. I miss everyone.....in most places, people are more like zombies, sad.gif so the fourstate area is special.

Siriun,

I love this post! Gotta agree. We may all be different and have lots of personality clashes, but it's a fun group. And peope tend to keep coming back for more!!

Gotta love it!

P. S. I enjoy meeting anyone on here. Just easier for me in a smaller group so I can understand what's been talked about.

Big groups are too confusing for me. Can't figure out what everyone is saying.

I want to thank WV & Check for the nice remarks. I found that they are very special ladies.

Siri--you spoke volumes w/your post.

It's Friday....

My boss has a good heart.

So does my husband.

I'm going to Europe for the first time in my life and I'm excited but scared. (Don't like to fly)

Sick grandchildren are also scary. Both are fine, now, though.

I wish more people on here would put up different pictures of themselves more often. I really enjoy seeing them.

Life is good.

1 - being away from the family for a week wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be
2 - being away from the office for a week was MORE fun that I thought was possible
3 - spending a week away with my boss made me appreciate him more as a "person", instead of just "the boss"
4 - eating 3 meals a day in restaurants is not good for my waistline, but my taste-buds enjoyed it

and last, but certainly not the least....

5 - I've come to realize that interacting with the forum posters is not just a way to stay informed, kill time and share ideas, I have come to consider these folks as friends I haven't met yet.

Thank you one and all.

A day late but lets see...........I learned that being sick is terrible when you have 8 people to cook for and do laundry for. It also sucks for your husband....................

I learned that psychotic people still kill people on college campuses, in psychiatrists' offices, and psychotic people still abuse disabled people, like the guy in the wheelchair.

I learned that Maryland had a real winner serving in an elected position. Wonder why he's not in jail yet, as I type this........


I learned that I am really, really ready for warm weather to get here.

1.) I've learned not to ever get sick like this again.
2.) I've fell in love with my wife all over again this week. Poor sole put up with my sickness and never complained but she made me eat and drink.
3.) I found new way's of use for my couch and actually enjoy watching the daytime court shows, Judge Judy is a riot.
4.) I realize that Doctors are designed to take your money and then make you drink nasty cough syrup. But they tells you it has to take it's coarse. OMLORD and I paid for that????
5.) This is the top One. By reading some of the threads here this Friday morning I've learned how to type and hold myself at the same time to keep from wetting myself. biggrin.gif

I've learned that I still have a compromised immune system from being sick last year......eone in family was sick; I was the only one who got secondary infections and had to be on antibiotics.

I've learned that my house ends up looking like a pack of wild dogs moved in whenever I get sick. Would wild dogs be neater than my family??

I've learned that Dr. Phil does not think being an abuse victim is a good reason to commit a crime.

I've learned that Patton got suspended yet again????

I've learned all about grilling outdoors....even on open coals!!

I've learned to take crumbs of wisdom from unnamed faraway countries with a crumb of sand.....or however that goes!
Dodge Man
OMG.... HERE I go again. Stop it...... Guess it's the fluids in me that built up in me this week. SS. and BENT guess were I'm heading again.???????????/ OMG>>>>>> Cant' take it laugh.gif

OMG! Bentcorner! Thinking one might find hillbilliers in WV being a firing offense! If only the stupid bit** had kept it to herself! And Hawiaii was once a part of Iraq? And looks being the most important thing to consider when choosing a spouse? And packing a lunch before visiting Egypt? (that one is kinda serious, though)...........................You are just too funny! Thanx! laugh.gif

Found the correct thread.

biggrin.gif I learned I do not like interviews. Today, the interviewer asked me what type of sundae I would make if I could do anything. There was silence but I faked it. You see, I am lactose intolerant. I am also too old for these questions. Maybe they were assessing creativity. I do not know what they are assessing but that is life. Maybe I learned I do not want to work there. It was good practice.

biggrin.gif I wish I was an accountant, all they would ask me is if I could count. laugh.gif

BUMMER: just heard Patton came and went like the wind. See what I misssed at that interview. Must of happened while I was describing my sundae.
Patton
i'm still here, as of now.

(1) Lots of stuff that I can't repeat, and some of which I might not want to know!
(2) The Maryland Judiciary Case Search web site can be very, very revealing
(3) A busy HM Forum can be really entertaining, but can also eat up billable hours. In fact, I might have to fire myself.
(4) This Forum can be a source of real support from some, and uncompassionate comments from others
(5) Idiot is an equal opportunity basher (not sure who he LIKES, though)
(6) West Virginians have thin skin
(7) The Shoutbox is not a chat room, and the HM Forum should have a chat room
(8) There is just no convincing some people that Obama is American
(9) Other people around here like Asian food as much as Val and I do
(10) Some folks on here are even funnier in real life!

A student at Cambridge has been purchasing meds off my insurance since November to the tune of $1,000+. ohmy.gif

He and I haven't been paying a cent. laugh.gif

I got this wonky statement in the mail and called my insurance company and they informed me that indeed I have been taking these medications which were 600 bucks one day and then 300 bucks the very next day.

I have? wacko.gif I totally did not realize I was taking any medication at all. wacko.gif

So like a good insurance company, they connected me to the pharmacy which of course was the wrong number. So I looked up the pharmacy myself and called them and talked to Ken who is tres nice and fixed everything. The poor unfortunate, and rather unhealthy, gentleman that was utilizing my insurance is now billed properly. smile.gif

Mmhmm.
