Paul...Where have you been?

[smh]

Where have you been the last couple of days? Did you take a long weekend?

[paulw]

Noooo..... Friday night was spent mopping up my eldest sons vomit. Sunday night was spent dealing with mine...:(

24 hour bug, but not very nice.

Not entirely sure I am over it either.:(:(:(

P.

[smh]

Sounds pretty bad. Guess you weren't slacking off then..He He

So did you get in some quality sick time with your son then? When my son was sick, all he wanted to do was spend time with 'Mom'. We got a lot of 'Elmo' watching done. (He likes anything red)

[barrk]

Sorry to hear the family and you aren't doing well. I hope all is well soon. It's not nearly as fun around here without you. You were definitely missed!

[barrk]

Just thought I'd bring Paul's thread to the top so he wouldn't have to search next time....















Hi Paul!

[paulw]

Hiya.

It's quite good fun looking for the replies 12 hours after the fact... Its like reading the news in a newspaper that you heard the day before on the radio...

P.

[smh]

Good Morning Paul and Katie

[paulw]

Katie won't be up yet - the lights won't be on (hehehehe).

Good afternoon, sleepy head.

P.

[smh]

What time do you have there?

It's not even 9 here yet. I want to go back to bed. I can tell you that I am not awake yet.

[paulw]

As I post, it is 15.05. You Central Time? I think you are 6 hours back.

P.

[barrk]

Good morning Shanea and Paul...7:12am here.

[paulw]

Got to go...

See ya.

P.

[barrk]

Geesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smh]

He didn't even say good morning back! Are you guys on the rocks? You know you can talk to me all about it....

Ha Ha .... I sound like a marriage counselor.

[barrk]

I don't know...I think he's just busy. I didn't take it personally. He's a nice friend to chat with...we are just kidding about the affair (I think). But thanks for the offer of the friendly ear!

[smh]

Yeah, I'm just role playing. I can be the insane relationship psychiatrist. (I'd be good at that. Four of the couples I have set up with each other have ended up getting married. One was my sister...isn't that nuts!)

[barrk]

I try to avoid setting people up...could become complicated if it doesn't work out.

Is there any other kind of relationship psychiatrist other than insane???

[smh]

I don't really try to 'set them up', but I have a bunch of people over to my place, and one or the other happens to end up dating.




OK, I am setting them up, but they don't know that I am doing it. I introduce them at the party, like I introduce everyone else, and then '*BAM*' they fall in love. Everyone that I have 'introduced' has gotten married in less than a year. Don't you think that is strange? Maybe I have to weird, but cool psychic thing going on?




....And then again...probably not.

[barrk]

Could be......my husband, Tom, and I have compared notes and their were several instances (we were both at the same concerts at the same time...etc.)where we could have met but didn't. Obviously it was destined that we be together!

[smh]

Same thing here...

Mike and I lived in neighboring towns (15 miles apart) the whole time we grew up. We hung around with the same crowd and we were at the same high school parties and senior kegs every year, but we never met. When we both went away to college, we even attended the same school and never met.

I finally met him when I picked up a job as a waitress at a Perkins restaurant. We were just working buddies in the beginning. Then, fate tried one more time and we happened to get scheduled to take our Economics class together. Shortly after we started dating. Fate had to try very hard to get us together. Strange, huh?

[barrk]

Yep...some things are just meant to be!

[smh]

Yeah...I tried to explain that to my mom when I got pregnant before I got married, and she didn't agree. She would never wish that it didn't happen now though. She became an old softy as soon as she saw him for the first time.

[barrk]

At least he is there for you and your son....that's what's important. There is nothing quite like holding a newborn child...changes your entire perspective :-)

[paulw]

There is nothing quite like holding a newborn child...


Except holding two at once:D

Hello gals. I said hello to you both in the Post Race, so I thought I didn't need to say hello in here. It's quite nice to have a private little thread.

Katie, waddya mean, you THINK I'm kidding about the affair... It's a higher plane, spiritual thing for me <ahem>

btw Denise and I met 'cos she was sharing a flat with my sister. My big sis wasn't too pleased at first, but now she's got a friend AND a sister-in-law. Works well.

Cheers,

P.

And yes, I am quite busy at the mo.

[paulw]

Hi Gals,

Just got to get it to the top so that you can reply.

P.

[smh]

Hi all..

Just got to work late today. Nothing has gone right so far this morning, so my day can only improve. Yesterday ended up going really well though. Good project review from my clients!

[paulw]

And now I have said Good Morning! See. It's getting better already...:):):)

Cheers,

P.

[smh]

OK...It's all better now.

[barrk]

I'm glad to hear that Paul...you do lift my spirits, I must admit!

[parksie]

As paul lifts something else... :rolleyes:

:D

And that excess innuendo over...good evening everyone!

[paulw]

Got locked out today, the new front end has knackered my work connection:(

P.

[parksie]

Erk... nasty :(

[paulw]

Still Locked Out - V FRUSTRATING!!!

P.

[smh]

Well....hurry up and fix it! It's way too quite in here.

[barrk]

Good Morning everyone!

[smh]

Good Morning! Did they turn the heat back on yet?

[barrk]

Nope! Today it's raining too. I'm having trouble with my attitude...I wonder why????

[smh]

Um.....No heat.....Barely any electricity.....I don't know....Let me think about it for a while....

[barrk]

At least they haven't made us turn off our coffee pot...so all is not lost!

[parksie]

Phew. Could have been a tragedy :eek:

[smh]

Well, I'll be out for the rest of the day. I just got back from the DR's and I have bronchitis, so I'm supposed to go home and rest. Talk to you tomorrow.

[barrk]

I'm surrounded now by very cold, irritated people with massive overdoses of caffiene.....maybe not such a good thing to still have coffee pots....

[barrk]

Hope you feel better!! Take care,

Katie

[parksie]

Get well soon, Shanea...you don't want to get married and say "I *hacking cough* do"... ;)

[smh]

This better be gone within three months! Actually, the doc prescribed some potent stuff for me and I feel much better today already. I only have three months and three days left until I get married. I have so much stuff to do yet!

[barrk]

Glad to hear you're feeling a little better!

[smh]

I have to feel better. My little boy's first birthday is a week from today, and I have to put the party together. I have sent invitations, bought the '102 Dalmations' party supplies, and bought his presents, but I still have to take care of the food stuff. He's a spoiled little boy. He got an ELMO's ABC music book, a toddler bed and new '102 Dalmations' bedding, and a new swing-set. (And that was only from his dad and me. We have 35 other people coming to his birthday party next Saturday!)

[barrk]

sounds like fun!

[smh]

Yeah, but all these people will be in my house. All of Mike's relatives are really snoopy so I will have to scrub everything perfectly clean. Mike's family is very competitive in everything. I have the biggest house out of his entire family, so they will try to find something wrong with it. Wonderful in-laws, huh? I have learned to ignore them mostly, except when they say stuff about my son, like "He's not walking yet?". Mike's sister had a boy eight days before my son and they are always getting compared. This really torks me. All I say is "He will when he's ready. I won't push him to do things until he shows interest himself." They don't like this answer, but tough. I will raise my son how I want to.

[smh]

That gave me an idea for a new thread...

[barrk]

Where's Paul????????? Still having netscape problems?

[tumblingdown]

He still can't get access thru his firewall (or sonething).

Morning, btw.



td.

[Gaffer]

Urrrrgggggggghhhhh....

[smh]

What was that about Gaffer?

[barrk]

Good morning all! It's raining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smh]

Good morning! It's Friday!

[barrk]

And it's payday!!!!!!!!!!!

[smh]

Yes it is!

[barrk]

How's your bronchitis doing Shanea...better I hope!

[Gaffer]

Sorry smh, I was on the liquor with td and Ian last night. Was rough when I posted, now I feel like a warm summer's day...

[smh]

I can breath again. That medicine works fast. I still have a little bit of a cough though.

[barrk]

Glad to hear you're on the mend at least.....

[parksie]

Yep. Very good!

And happy friday evening everyone!

[barrk]

Hi ya Parksie.....how's it going?

[smh]

Hi All! I'm back from dinner. We are having pretty crappy weather here. It's snowing and the winds are bad, so it's almost like a white-out in certain places.

Oh, yeah... I suppose most of you people have never seen a white-out though.

[barrk]

I used it on my papers a lot in college.

[smh]

Well....think of what your white-out did to you papers in college, and that's what the snow's doing to everything in sight outside.

[barrk]

Sounds like a good reason to go home to me!

[parksie]

White-out...that's where you can't see the ground or the horizon...isn't it?

I don't really know...never paid much attention to geography :D

[barrk]

How come I can't email you parksie....

mike@parksie.net bombs....

[parksie]

Worked fine for me...and loads of other people have sent messages to that address :confused:

Maybe it's your firewall again :(

[smh]

Yep, Parksie, you're right.

But...we're South Dakotan's...we don't get to leave work early unless there's 10 ft snow drifts across the road. A little white-out....no big deal. Unless we have a chance of dying on the way home, we don't get to leave early.

He He

[barrk]

I guess the third times the charm...it worked this time.

[barrk]

If we get a few flakes we get to go home. My husband didn't have to go to work today because they closed his school over 8 inches of snow!

[smh]

I suppose if your not used to driving in it like we are, it would be a death trap to send everyone out in it. Some people just don't know how to drive on the slippery stuff.

[parksie]

Even Photoshop said "Invalid header" on that file you sent... :confused:

I went through about 6 programs...and none would open it. :eek:

[barrk]

It opens fine for me in Microsoft Photo Editor.....

I'll try again. Just don't laugh too hard.

[barrk]

We moved to Oregon for eight years....I did get experience driving in the stuff but you're right most Southern Californians don't have a clue when it comes to snow.

[parksie]

I didn't laugh :)

You didn't smile, though :(

[parksie]

I had a driving lesson in the snow :eek:

Not nice :(

[barrk]

It was early in the morning...they just said stand in front of that flag and then clicked with no warning....and it was about 30 degrees in the room at the time....


How's that for some excuses???

[smh]

Did you send him a picture of yourself? I want to see!

[parksie]

Fair enough...I have a set of passport photos (one from a booth where you get 4)...with 3 photos and one blank :)

I sat through two flashes...thought it was one that took 4 photos with two shutter clicks...as it were. Then got out...saw a flash...and dived back in again in time to look totally spaced out for the last photo :D

[barrk]

What's your email Shanea?

[parksie]

Just noticed...we haven't seen you yet :)

Unless you're a cat with a rose, of course :rolleyes:

[smh]

I'm looking for a picture of me on my computer here, but I haven't found one yet. I think I have one here somewhere though.

My email:

shintz@midwestcardservices.com

[smh]

He's right, you didn't smile. He He

I still haven't found one of me. I do have one of my son though. You'll have to do with that until I can find one of myself.

[smh]

Katie, what is your email address. The email in the profile has been disabled.

[barrk]

It's kathryn.barr@f22ctf.edwards.af.mil

[parksie]

Nice pic Shanea...so how did you manage it...did you sew velcro into his clothes? :D:D:D

Cute kid, though :)

[smh]

I am going to have to send a pic of me next week, because I don't have one saved on my system. I had one here on disk at work, but I must have taken it home.

I have a family pic on my desk here, but no scanner available.

[smh]

I've been having troubles with your email address, Katie. I just sent it again, so hopefully you will be able to get it this time.

[smh]

My son really loves cameras. He poses for me when I take the camera out. I think I have about 20 rolls of film with pictures of him, not including pictures professionally done.

[parksie]

Aaahhh...sweet :)

I think we've only got 2 good photos of me as a little kid :eek:

[barrk]

Did you look like Oswald then too???

[parksie]

Don't think so...I had blond hair then :eek:

[smh]

I just sent you guys my family pic.

[parksie]

Yep. Got it :)

Cute ;)
