Ok... resurrecting the Friday Lessons!

I've learned...

1. Sometimes procrastination DOES pay off.

2. For many people, discord = excitement.

3. Mashed potatoes and stuffing really are a match made in heaven.

4. Cows may poop e. coli, but it's wild boars that do the manure spreading.

5. There aren't a lot of movies with Halloween scenes.

6. There are two groups of people: Those who have seen Memento and loved it, and those who haven't seen it.

You have to drink a vampire's blood to become one!

Id wants to protect terrorists.

Heather is a weapon used by Satan to control men.

Gas just jumped 10 cents over 1 day in Frederick!

- back spasms can really put a cramp in your running/working out

- I have an @ssload of leaves in my back yard, but no desire to start cleaning them up. Where's that teenage nephew of mine.....

- while I refuse to dress up and usually get the creeps by adults in costumes, I love Halloween

- the Cowboys aren't as good as I hoped they'd be (neither is my college team)

- this can still be a fun place when the fighting is kept to a minimum (gotta have a little) and people actually post

- I've lost my desire to post about politics on internet message boards.

Sometimes things need to be Br0ken before the get fixed.

In Baltimore Co. it is illegal for convicted sexual predators to participate in Halloween (they can't pass out candy and can't even have their house light on)

Driving 2 hours for a 30 min job interview only to find out it pays about the same as WalMart, SUCKS.

Concrete contractors (well all contractors) do not return calls- they must not need the work.

What goes around comes around.

CPD, concrete contractors arent the only ones who do not return phone calls! It took us so long, that I am embarassed to even say, to just get a contractor to do a perk test for us in Berkeley County. I guess they don't want the business from us little people, they just want to please those big builders! We are yet to get the permit back either!!!!

And no, I wil not feel sorry for any of them now that home sales have dropped. Thats just what they get for being so greedy. (no pun inteneded btw)

1) Doing appraisal reviews suck!
2) People think they do a hell of a lot better job than they really do
3) I've got a new place to hang out
4) for something thats supposed to make life easier Excel is a pain in the a$$
5) I wish Madonna would adopt me!
6) I am now a first responder when it comes to first aid, cpr, and aed's
7) someone named Avacado has a birthday today...scratch that its Avagrado..happy birthday anyway!
8) Guacamole..mmmmm!
9) Did I mention the cool new pla.....nevermind

I've learned (and already knew) that I don't like secrets! Can't stand not knowing!

(Spit it out, Samy...what's this cool new place you're hiding?)

1 As I get older even Holloween is a pain in the azzzs.
2 Grown ups are worse than kids.
3The H/M Forum is slowing down.
4 My neighbor hood can`t deside when to have Trick-or treat. (Tplants ) it figures.
5 Concrete workers don`t like to pour if it`s below 55 degrees, to long to set up.
6 We have Webby sooo confused in the way we behave in here. LOL
7 Deer Season is here, YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAA. Bamby won`t be home for dinner.

1. Downtown festivals are fun! ( if you let them be)

2. Car sales are down

3. Webbie didn't make it to the festival...but seems proud of us.

4. Samyo still cracks me up

5. The county received over 12.5 million in recordation taxes last fiscal year

and the City gets none of it still

6. The county received 4.5 million in Real Estate Transfer Fees, and yes you guessed it, the city got nothing

but a small processing fee, roughly 1%

7. We need a new Delegate in the 2C district

8. Great things happen when everyone pitches in to help. (Downtown Festival)

9. Wish I could find a new place to escape to.

1. rainy days (especially mornings) rock! My kiddos actually sleep in which of course means a bit more sleep for ME!
2. Doctor's offices have annoying policies that can be a huge inconvenience
3. Having strep throat is the worst but getting a script for pain meds at least makes it bearable.
4. I think KY is making me sick, maybe it's a sign from above that I need to move back to the east coast already?

I also learned that if you check out the fine details, you can answer your own questions!

I knew you would

Must be "The Dealmaker" and his great commercials!

Hey Bob, dress up in something funny and make a few commercials! It'll get better! At least for us!

priceless!

Bob- H/M will probably cut you a deal to advertise here

Its only Tuesday and I've learned that people don't judge you by your actions or track record. They tend to judge you on paranoia or their own fears. So being nice, helpful and civil do you no good. people will still think the worst of you!

1. Red wine improved the health of obese mice.

2. Some parents snoop, some don't.

3. There are more groups for moms than for dads. And what about us childless folk?

4. For the most part, our local school lunches are unhealthy.

5. Vampires may be a mathematical impossibility, but I'm still going to be prepared for zombies.

Not ONE damn thing. Same ole crap, different day.

According to my History Professor, nothing!

I learned that peacefrog and I read the same websites.

So what have YOU learned?

1. Writing crappy SEO articles for pennies on the word can be lucrative... even if the work sux.

2. New stores are coming to H-town, and not everyone is happy about it.

3. H-town is going to have to import their Hooter's employees.

4. Members of the H-M forum come and go.

Some people in here need Cheese with there wineing.

People moved here to see if the big stores would follow them.

Greedy got a time out from, Mother My I.

Kid got his wish.

My daughters step son is the #1 javlin thrower in the Big 10 and at PENN State.

I got an A on my history paper. 58 points out of 60. Thanks to those who offered advice.

Congrats! We expect to see it published here.

McGee- great job by the grandkid. That is an amazing accomplishment

Thanks Samyo, He`s at Penn state. You would think the local paper would do a story on him being he is local. But it`s not on the AP wire so it won`t be read by locals.
Kid got his wish.
Nothing will change with the new county commissioners.
Same thing with the city council, No change.
People in here are crazy.
Christmas shopping is not fun anymore.
The new forum set up is brought to you by Toys R US

1. It's pretty easy to catch up in here after being gone a little while.
2. Some people take my spelling pet-peeve a little too seriously.
3. Some people took my blog waaaay too seriously. Yes, I received messages regarding it.
4. Some forum people don't understand my sense of humor. Oh well.
5. All too easy to get sucked back in here. I need to learn the meaning of moderation.
6. I'm not getting anything done today.
7. It's like being an alcoholic. Must call my sponsor and get to a meeting!

I....need.......help!!!!!!!

that I should pack a lunch on days when I am supposed to have lunch with a certain forum member

You got a 58? B!tch! I only got a 56!

Heather locked herself out of her house
There are way too many multiple personalities in here
Developers only know how to clear cut land, not to preserve periperal trees
The semester is almost over
My boss is American Library Association's Librarian of the Year

Uh oh....

I have learned that i'm very snoppy

What the hell is that?!

Is that the Wall Paper?

When walls start being built the price of stone is sure to go up!

I'm sure you will wear your A with pride.

Don't brand me with a scarlett letter!

Or Heather is smart (of which I have no doubt) and she is ignoring your old goofy a$$. Just like the rest of us should be doing. HAVE A NICE DAY!

Wow this is turning into another "one of those" threads!!!

dont fell to bad , looks like im on a different kind of list to, my lifes story. lol.

I learned that teenagers can be motivated to clean the whole house when they invite the girlfriend over.

Had my whole house cleaned twice now. We won't talk about how the closets look, though!

I have learned that you just can't trust NO one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter how dense and clueless some people are, they never fail to go above and beyond my wildest expectations.

Happy Friday! As we near the holidays, I am learning the continued importance of good health, family and friends. Today, I am looking forward to my favorite time of the week, the weekend.

VERY TRUE! If ya got that, and a place to live, and freedom, anything else is icing on the cake.

I have learned that if I walk up West Washington Street toward the square, and look into the windows of the UMD center-I can see pictures of naked people on display. What a refreshing change from all that dreary old downtown mentality of christmas wrearths and candy canes! Is this the CVB or M&C revitalizing downtown? Go see for yourself!

Huh, I missed that, will have to walk back downtown.

Newsflash - there is a gridlock of pedestrian traffic - none seen like this in the last 50 years - in Downtown Hagerstown. Apparently the UMD Center has finally become an downtown "draw".

naked pictures draw them in every time when mayor Bob said he had a plan for drawing people downtown I thought he had something else in mind

see samy0 - mayor bob is a smart man that has great ideas for our fair city

OK, you have lured me over to the dark side and I guess I'll have to start drinking the Mayor Bob kool-aid

mayor Bob is a genius and by using nudity Hagerstown will become "a need to be at" city. (repeat 10 times)

Please just tell me the naked pictures arent of him and if they are I'll be in the corner scratching my retinas out
