Silly me, Silly you

many times in my life, i have done or said
such silly things, and it usually happens around
my nephews, which they never seem to let me
forget, so when we are together, the stories
roll in, one after another, and the laughter
starts

of all the silly things i have said, one sticks
out the most...


we were having a conversation about the Animal
Kingdom in Disneyworld, someone brought up, that
the animals are not fairing well, that many are getting
sick, i turned and i said:

"well it is very hot in orlando so the heat is probably to much for them" they all looked at me in disbelief, with all of them looking at me i replied "what" and Vincent said "Aunt Car, these animals come from hot climate places such as Africa, its hot there constantly, would you not say they are used to the heat"

so what does one say to that "duh" and then of course a burst of laugher filled the room

Absolutely Classic!

as they are abusing me, i of course have my
own stories for them, which i, at that point
am delighted with glee to tell them all the
silly things they did as well, as the memory of
them as children is very vivid


Vincent as a stubborn 7yr old had to use the bathroom, while we were in a fast food restaurant, i told him i would take him to the ladies room with me, however mr stubborn would not budge, he wanted to go to the mens room my himself, now keep in mind this is many yrs ago, when one would allow a minor to go alone, so on he went, of course i watched him walk in the door, a few minutes later i hear banging, and screaming "help" "help"
i looked over to the bathroom and did not see anything, with that the manager of the restaurant ran to the bathroom, the manger opens the door with ease, and out walks Vincent, as he is walking towards me i ask "what happen" his reply " i could not open the door", i and his
brother burst into laughter and his brother said "well that will teach you not to go to the bathroom alone", Vincent bruised mentally, picked up his sandwich and continued to eat!

Absolutely Classic!

these are the stories that make our memories,
these very small occurrences , have somewhat
molded us, gave us our foundation, and will always
continue to make us laugh~~

Family, Perfection!

First! This is what a sleepless night will do.

Lynn D said...

I will have to ponder this great blog abit. I know I have done dumb stuff but I have either buried it or I have not had enough coffee.

Give my mind some time to jump start! LOL

sacBarb said...

Happy Tuesday Owls.

Carol, I, too will have to ponder this topic. It is very early here in the west and my brain isn't in gear yet.

Lynn D, I can identify with your sleepless plight. Off to make coffee for me. Congrats on first, though.

Iteach, Good morning, I saw you over at area 51.

Good morning to all ho land after me.

Morning and congrats on 1st Lynn D!

Good morning Sacbarb and Iteach!

sacBarb said...

Hey Shirley, Thanks for the coffee

sacBarb said...

Well, I have thought a bit after my first cup of Shirley's West Coast coffee and I don't think I've ever done anything dumb **cough, cough** but I can tell on my Hubby.

We were driving back from a visit to our family and stopped for gas. Our oldest was almost 3 years old and had to go potty. Huz took him and son told Dad he could read and knew which one to go in, so Huz followed son right into the women's restroom. I came along shortly (had to put my shoes on) and opened the door to find them there. Well, we all had a shocked look and Huz grabbed the kid and quickly exited.

It turns out the 3 year old can't really read...DUH. He just knew that MEN is a shorter word than WOMEN. However, This restroom had LADIES and GENTLEMEN on the doors.

sacBarb said...

I forgot to say that there was a woman in the only stall, who heard them talking and wasn't about to get out until they left. When she finally came out, I denied knowing them.

I am crossing Eye Appt off my list of to do things - it's been on there for over two years - and today is the day!!

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

grandma moses said...

Carol, I do and say things like this on a daily basis - but it is funny, right now I can't think of one. I'll be back later to tell.

Congrats on first lynn d!!!
Good morning sacbarb, shirley and mek!

Shirley, I am happy you had such a nice time last evening.

Hello to all owls!! Have a great day!!

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - thanks for the blog today and putting a smile on my face..

Iteach - have fun today..

Good morning, Grandma Moses...

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Dear Owls.

Tinkatia said...

I will be back.

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

I have finally thought of something and it is staring me in the face. Denial is stronger than drugs! LOL

I have all over my house piles of written address, phone numbers and pertinent information. I write things on the handiest piece of paper and then put them in a pile.

Why is this silly and stupid. I spend untold hours looking for the one bit or piece of paper I may need on given day.

Let me see here is a name and phone number of someone that for the life of me I can't remember who they are. I would throw this away but if I do, I just know I will need that bit of paper.

You may say simple solution buy an address book and input all of the information. Well...I have three that I have bought in the last year or so and they are all empty!!

I am A. Not very bright! B. Just to lazy! C. Enjoy digging through paperwork. D. A semi pack rat or E. All of the above!

I have another story to tell on myself and Mr. Lynn D but will save it for later.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Lynn who is first and had a sleepless night. I prescribe an early nap today my dear.

Good Morning - SacBar, Shirley, Mek and Grandma Moses.

Shirley - I can smell the coffee. It has a great aroma. I will just have my orange juice however. I am an English Tea Granny.

I will read the blog now but I don't know if I am wide enough awake to respond to it.

Tinkatia said...

I have done so many silly things in my life I could probably write a book. Right now, however, my brain is in neutral so I will wait until this afternoon. I am so tired today and I have a computer meeting tonight. I don't want to miss it because I want to show off my new Mac Book. This meeting is the one where it is very beneficial to have your own lap top. Otherwise you are looking at a large screen and it's hard to read sometimes.
We had a wonderful party day yesterday. I ended with the birthday dinner and did not go down to the Water Front with 40,000 others to watch the concert. The rest of the family did and I am waiting to hear from them as to how good it was. VIG might also have been down there so I will wait for her call too.
I will check out myspace and return to the nest.
Have a great day All Owls.

Good Morning Hooters!!!
Miss Lynn is 1st!- passing the strong java juice your way.

I am sure there are 2 or 3 hundred silly stories I could tell. I will have to give that one thought. I try to blank them out after doing or saying them :)

Hope everyone has a great day- I'll be back later.

Tinkatia said...

Goldie - Good Morning. I drew a blank too even though I know I have done some pretty silly things. I think I need breakfast to fill up my brain cells.

scirish said...

Morning All!

I was in the car with my Sig. Other and his 25 year old son. We were passing a strip mall where they had just put in some new stores. One of the stores was Dicks Sporting Goods. As we passed it I exclaimed:

"I love Dicks!"

They both turned to me at the same time and said "Oh really?"

I, of course, turned several shades of purple.

They have not let me live that one down.

grandma moses said...

Good morning all the owls who flew in after I commented!

I have thought of a story. When my son was dating his wife, we met her parents and went out to dinner with them. Her father is a professor at the business school of one of the big Ivy League colleges in the northeast. I asked him what he actually taught. He said things like how to price items and so forth. I then asked him how he knew and the whole table got silent!! LOL

scirish, your comment is so funny!

Zona said...

Morning Everyone!!

CPGEM: OMG...I have more of these silly moments than I do just normal regular moments....wait, I'm not sure I even HAVE normal moments. ;)

I do remember being on the phone with VIG and she was describing how to get to the island where she and TINK live. She told me that when I visited I could fly to where the ferry docks in the US and take it over to Vancouver Island. I said "Oh it goes across the Pacific river??" She started laughing...and told me "NO..it's the Pacific OCEAN!!" Well, what the heck do I know???? ;) I think we both laughed til tears rolled down our faces. And believe me, I got a million more just like this! LOL!!

Off to read the other posts...

goldie said...

this story was my son at about age 16...
We are driving down the road and all of a sudden he starts to spit and sputter in indignation. "oh my god, thats awful, how could they!". I am like what??? what??
He says "that business is advertising that they will kill pets!"

I am confused for one sec, then see the billboard. It says "Will kill Pests". I started laughing so hard that I literally DID pee my pants a little!

DreamaTexas said...

My Avator today is my nephew.My nephew is now 24 years old. Boys will be boys as I always tell ReneeEve. When my nephew was 4 years old he could not be controled when we went out as a family to Red Lobster. He would always end up under our table howling like a coyote.
When my nephew was 7 years old he became tacky. We would be having fun playing at my parents pool and he'd get out of the pool and say hey everybody look how far I can take a whiz. My Mother & sister were always horrified. I always said don't worry unless he grows up and still behaves this way as an adult man. I am happy to report that he doesn't.
He did go streaking at his first spring break beach party. It was dark so I doubt if anyone really saw much.
My nephew was recently back into town to visit. He has now graduated college and has a business degree and just bought himself a brand new red Mustang which we had fun playing in. Oh and he also models clothing lines and this photo is from Abercrombie & Fitch.

hartldo said...

Congrats on First, lynn d-Sleepless in Rainier! Didn't sleep well last night either. We had storms & we still have rain. Yucky day here. Blah.

LOL @ Shirley's West Coast Coffee!

Carol: Cute & funny blog today. I'll have to do some thinking to see if I have anything to add.

sacbarb: I loved your story! Hilarious! I can just picture it!

Hello to Tinka, MEK, grandma moses, goldie, scirish & zona!

I have more to read, so I'll comment again in a bit.

hartldo said...

Cute story goldie! At least your son was apalled that someone might actually kill pets! LOL!

LMAO @ scirish's story, which reminded me of something stupid I said very recently. About 2 wks ago, actually.

We had gone out to eat with some friends. One of my friends' salad was so huge that he was having trouble finishing it but kept eating anyway. He looked like he was gonna blow any minute, so I said, "He's gonna blow!" THAT was not the funny part.

Later, when the waitress came and asked if we wanted dessert, I said, "Oh no. I'm about to blow myself!" That's when everyone died laughing at me. It did sound rather WRONG, didn't it? And believe me, I'm not that flexible OR talented.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Scirish, Zona-my-baby, Goldie, Dreama and Donna.

Zona - I remember laughing at your story when it happened. We three have a lot of good laughs on the phone don't we?

If my sister were here and I asked her to tell a silly story about me I know she would tell how I got into the habit of walking into the men's room instead of the ladies at the restaurants we would go to.
It wasn't really a habit but it happened three times in a row. The first time I was surprised by the urinals but I didn't 'clue in' until I was leaving and a man walked in. My sister asked "Couldn't you see the two pictures on the doors?" I said "I thought she was wearing a pant suit". Everyone thought it was such a funny story until it happened at the next two restaurants where we were dining. I had no idea why I walked into them. I quickly left when I saw men were in there. I think my family stopped seeing it as a silly story and started to worry about me. They couldn't quite decide if my eye sight was going or if I was becoming a pervert. I really don't know the answer to that one. I can tell you it hasn't happened since.

Tinkatia said...

It's a gorgeous day here and I think I will take my 'fur-babies' for a walk. It may be too warm for them out there this afternoon. I will be back later.

hartldo said...

And add that last statement I said to the stupid things I say. I'm not secretly a man, really!

Oh, and this must be a stupid kind of day for me. I just shaved my legs and forgot to do the entire front of the left leg. DUH!!!

Just_Lin said...

Good morning dear Owls!

LynnD First again! Congrats.

Shirley Thank you for the West Coast Coffee. I didn't get enough sleep. Seems to be a problem for several of us today. What's with that? Maybe I'm just too excited about my upcoming trip to Custard country. LOL

Carol Fun blog today. I'm enjoying the stories a lot. It's a great way to start the day, with a smile.

Funny thing....I can't think of anything silly I've done or said although I know there are plenty. I can think of one that my husband did, imagine that.

My husband, my mother and I went to Hawaii, leaving my two teenage children home. We were discussing how much food and money we left for them when my husband said he had hidden an extra $100 in the pecan in case of emergency. My mom and I looked at each other then at him. I asked, "WTH are you talking about?" He says, "You know, the pecan on the credenza" I'm saying that there is no pecan on the credenza and you wouldn't be putting money in it if there was one. This went on for several minutes. He finally asks, "Well what is that pottery thing on the left hand side." I finally get it! He was talking about a piece of art in in the shape of a Tucan! He had slipped a $100 bill in a large opening at the bottom. God, we LOAO!!!! For Christmas, my mom found a small, 3 inch bird cage at a craft store. She put a pecan in it and put it in my husband's stocking. We laughed about it so many times!

hartldo said...

Pant suit, Tinka! OMG! That's too funny!!!!!

Just_Lin said...

Hart Your story made me pee my pants!!!! ROFLMAO!!!

Tinka LMAO @ pant suit!

hartldo said...

Just_Lin: The best part of that story is the pecan gift in the bird cage! LOL!

iteach said...

SacBarb, that is such a cute story, about your son!

Good luk MEK at the eye doctor!

hartldo said...

I'm sorry Just_Lin. I'll send you some Depends. ;)

hartldo said...

Heading out now to the foot doctor. Then to pick my daughter up at play practice. I'll be back later taters!

iteach said...

Lynn, I have pieces of paper everywhere and I like it that way.

Scirish that is so funny!!

iteach said...

These stories are so much fun to read, I have laughed at them all.

I will have to ask my husband or mom stories about me.

I try really hard to forget them.

iteach said...

I'm off to take a nap with the kids.

I have already worked in my classroom and we have already been to the park.

We are pooped!!

iteach said...

Have a good afternoon everyone!

goldie said...

Someone pour me a drink please. I am dealing with an idiot via email and it is like playing "who's on first"! How do some people get through life?????????????????????

I am getting a chuckle out of the stories here though! LOL

Zona said...

I was riding as a passenger in the front seat of our car. Mr Z was driving..and my sister and her friend were in the back. As we approached the intersection, the light turned yellow...Mr Z was already too close to stop and as he hit the gas he said "Hang on..." I immediately answered "I'm hung!!". There was a moment of silence..and then everyone burst out laughing. Eversince that day, whenever I'm with my sister or Mr Z and they are going to take a corner fast or make a quick left hand turn, they say "Hold on...oh yeah..forgot..YOU'RE HUNG!!!"

Zona said...

LYNND: FIRST! Congrats!!

SACBARB: LOL @ not knowing your son and hubby...my sister has felt the same way about me on numerous occasions.

SHIRLEY: Hello Sunshine!! Could I please place an order for a Pepsi in the morning..I don't drink coffee.

SCIRISH: ROFLMAO!!!!

TINKA: My gosh..we do laugh a heck of a lot, don't we??!!

HARTLDO: LOL!!

GOLDIE: What would you like to drink??? ;)

goldie said...

Ok- here was my biggest foot in mouth moment.

Out to dinner with friends and a couple that I really didn't care for the women. She was a tease,(thought she was Marilyn Monroe) and got on my nerves big time. The more she drank the more she got on my last nerve. So anyway, she orders another drink and says in the general direction of the men "anyone want my cherry?" as she is swinging it by the stem.

So right away, and loudly I say "that boat sailed a long time ago honey". The silence was deafening- until my friend and her husband started laughing hysterically. Needless to say- the night ended soon after that. ;)

goldie said...

woman- didn't care for the woman (singular)

Zona- a U.V. Blue and Lemonade would be great- thanks!! Hold the cherry.

Zona said...

GOLDIE: Hold the cherries..you got it!

iteach said...

Thank you J/L.

I'm sitting here trying to think what do with the kiddos tonight, because it is soooooooo humid.

I think I will get out the art & craft bag. Maybe we will make puppets.

I hope this humidity leaves before school starts.

hartldo said...

I'm back from the foot doctor. Shot #5 in my heel and it's sore!

My daughter & I went to the grocery store after play practice. I got in the car and realized I forgot to give the cashier all my coupons. UGH! I told you it was a "stupid kind of day" for me!

LOL @ Zona's hung story and goldie's cherry story!!!!

Shirley: My morning coffee is Diet Mt. Dew.

Going to go have some dinner. BBL

DreamaTexas said...

Well, it is the end of my work day and I still have nothing that stands out in my mind that I have done or said.
I am really tired because I know there should be something!
I do have a problem with hoses. The worst thing that I ever did was lose control of a hose at a car wash and I accidently blasted the attendant with water.I wasn't expecting the water pressure to be that strong. The prewash setting was so light and then when I switched the knob to the power wash then "kapow". It honestly was really strong.
Luckily for me when I do something embaressing I don't know anyone around me and I am not reminded of it over and over and over... :0)

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Good afternoon/evening everyone!

Zona and Hartldo your breakfast beverages have been noted. Next time I make breakfast I will include them.

Reading some of the stories today doesn't make the one I'm about to tell seem so bad. Lol!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

I'm off to watch some TV. I'll check back before I go to bed. BBL.

Lynn D said...

Hi kids I am really dragging my tail feathers today! I don't know if it is the heat or if I am fighting some kind of bug.

Years ago Mr. Lynn D and I took the kids to Seattle Center for a fun day. We decided to take them to the Imax theater there as they were playing Fantasia in 3D.

Our youngest was about 3 at the time. I helped him get his glasses settled for the 3D effect. He was fine until Dumbo came flying at him and he screamed and tried to crawl over the seat. I finally removed the glasses and he finished the movie in passable silence.

We hearded all of the kids out of the theater and asked everyone if they had to use the restroom. They all went but our 3 year old. I asked him twice and he said no.

We left the theater and were some distance out when he then decided he had to go!! Mr. Lynn D and I did a scan of the area and could find no restrooms. We wandered down the path a bit and still no bathroom. Of course he was holding himself at this point and insisting he had to go!

We finally found a site map and stopped to orient ourselves and to see if we could pinpoint the restroom. All of us were gathered around trying to read the map and figure out where we were.

I am so engrossed and so is Mr. Lynn D that we weren't paying attention until our older son started yelling "he is peeing on my foot"! It did finally dawned on me that I heard running water.

The 3 year old had taken matters into his own hands literally and had had enough. He whipped it out and peed all over the base of the site map!

We ran laughing hysterically back to the car!

Lesson learned never take the word of any child that they do not have to pee! Make them go!

Stupid parents!

Lynn D said...

I realize after writing that post that there are spelling errors but I don't have the energy to correct them. LOL

Sandie said...

Congrats on first, Lynn D! I've been having a few of those sleepless nights myself--not fun.

Carol, fun blog! Thanks!

I am known as the queen of nutty remarks at my house and am sometimes known as Sandie Berra (after Yogi Berra). Sometimes I can't believe what comes out of my mouth. I think the problem is I speak before I think things through and although I know what I want to say, it doesn't always come out quite right. I think it gets worse with age!!

I think one of the most embarrassing moments in my working career was when our office had to take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Have you all heard of that? It's a test you take to determine your personality characteristics. My boss decided if we understood each other better we could work better together. So, after the test results are in we have a big meeting. I turn out to be an ESFP and my boss was an ISTP. The letters stand for different traits and I won't bore you by going into all that but the "P" stands for Perceiving--it means you can be a procrastinator, like things spur of the moment, etc. My boss was saying something and I spoke up in front of the whole office and said, "Be careful, George, your P-ness is showing!"

Donna Jean said...

Happy End of the Day Everyone!

Wow, I am pooped! Had a very long, but fun day with my oldest daughter and grandkids. But, I can sure tell they have been together WAY TOO long this summer! Thank Goodness school starts soon! I have never seen them argue so much! Togetherness is SO Overrated!

All of these stories are so funny, I too need some of those Depends, Donna Jo!

I consider myself to be a woman of modest intelligence, and at times even highly intelligent! But sometimes the dumbest things come out of my mouth! Here are three things that I can remember saying. I am sure there are more, but I'm only admitting to these!

1. The husband of a friend loves to do puzzles, I mean the HUGE 1000piece ones. She told me once that she likes to hide the very last piece so it frustrates him that he can't finish it. In total innocence I asked her "Out of 1000 pieces, how in the world would you know which is the LAST piece"? Duh, ANY piece would be the last one, right? Dunce cap on head!

2. I was the front desk administator for a very large Real Estate company for over 14 years. Part of my job was to answer phones. You tend to say the same things over and over, and it just becomes habit, but one day I had so many calls I needed to put several on hold. When I went back to one of the callers I said, again in total innocence, "Thank you for helping, how can I hold you"? Several people were standing around and heard me. They always teased me about that one.

3. This one also occurred at work. Several of the Support Staff were invited to attend the Women's Council of Realtors Annual Luncheon and Fashion Show. Of course, much wine was flowing, and when we got back to the office, I was sitting in the back seat of one of my co-workers cars. It was brand new, and of course she was older and bought one of the HUGE gas guzzling Oldsmobiles or Chrysler's. As I struggled to get the door open and stay open in my slightly inebriated state, I said "Georgia, these whores are sure deavy"!!! I didn't even realize I had said that! Of course, they never let me live that one down either!

Well that's it for all the silly and dumb things that have come from my mouth, but I am sure there will be many more before long!

OH, and for those that watched Nashville Star, my Melissa Lawson WON!!! YAY!! I really liked her. She will be singing at the Olympics, not sure if at the Opening or Closing Ceremonies, but look for her, she is adorable!

Have a fantastic evening everyone!

Peace and Love to all, Donna Jean

Zona...When are you bringing your hung self over the Pacific River to visit the Victorian Owls? Care to discuss pelicans? Too funny!

Tink...I didn't get down to the BC day celebrations last night. My friends bailed and I didn't feel like going by myself. I heard it was really good though! Glad you had a special day with your family!

Scirish...I have been giggling all day about your Dicks story! Hilarious!

PNW Owls....not to be gruesome but another foot has washed up on a beach and this time it was in Washington. Close to Port Angeles. That makes six! Too weird!

Hope all Owls have had a yellow day!

Hey...I 69ed and I didn't know I was there! Story of my life!!!

Sandie said...

One that I still get teased about at home is when we were driving one day on a little, back-country, curvy road and I said to my husband, "Slow down, this road has a lot of hair ball turns!" Of course the correct phrase is "hair pin" turns.

iteach said...

The oldest are bowling with dad tonight and I'm home with the two youngest.

It is really too humid to go outside.

So off to build block towers.

I wonder if I will remember what to do with myself once they are all grown up.

Hi...has anyone used Moodle for taking or setting up an on-line course. If so, could you e-mail me on MS. Thanks!

hartldo said...

Lynn D: I have learned the hard way about not making my kids go to the bathroom when one was available.

Sandie: I had to take that test when I was asked to be on an advisory board for our local Circus Arts Program. I can't even remember what the outcome was, except I KNOW my P-ness wasn't showing! LOL!

Your stories were GREAT, Donna Jean! And Depends are on the way!

I guess that can be my job here in the nest. Shirley provides breakfast. I'll supply depends.

Bon'O said...

Hi Owlies!! Way too hot and hungry to think of a good story for ya, but wanted to wave a wing before the early birds or right-coasters turn in. You are all HOOTS!

Shirley~~No special order, but where's the story you promised at 7:45?? My Depends are at the ready!

Tinkatia said...

I am at my computer meeting. What am I missing?

I have to get up in six hours to go to a conference tomorrow.

I will see you guys tomorrow night!

Anonymous said...

Hey Tink....do you have your new lap top at your computer meeting? Very cool!!!!

iteach...what is your conference on? Hope it's a great one!!!!

Bono...hope it is cooling off for you. Your new pictures of the beach are amazing!!!

Tinkatia said...

VIG - Yes it was neat to have a lap top at the meeting. I used the carrying case you gave me. Thank you for that. I just had time to write one line to let you know I was on-line at the Howard Johnson Hotel. That is where the meetings will take place from now on. I am exhausted and my head is spinning with knowledge that I will probably forget by morning. Talk to you tomorrow.

Good Night Zona-my-Baby. I will go to sleep re-watching season one. Talk to you tomorrow too.

Good Night and God Bless all the owls in their nests tonight.

Good night Pink Tink!

Just-Lin - Good Night. How many sleeps until Custard? I will get the answer in the morning. I am turning out the lights.

Just_Lin said...

Pink Tink Only 24 sleeps until Custard. By the time you read this in the morning, it will only be 23. Oh Boy!

Mary/MI said...

I may be alone right now, but will tell my embarrassing moment. I worked for General Motors and held many "line" jobs. I was too short for many, but sometimes they would place me on one anyway. I was put in the "paint" room. My job was to grab the hose with the right color paint and spray paint my side of the car, incl. the roof. The hoses were so high that I had to get on my tippy toes to grab them. One day I grabbed what I thought was the color white and began to spray. I was horrified to see that I was spraying black paint on a white car! Everyone was laughing hysterically, I was mortified! They moved me to a more ergonomically fitting job.
We will be home from Vegas tomorrow. Today was Mr Mary's lucky day. He won over $7,000! He shared with me, and Uncle Sam lol!! We celebrated with a mighty fine fillet mignon dinner.

MEK in AZ said...

Mary/MI Congrats on the win! I need to hang around with you two. I never really win when I gamble. I usually win just enough to keep gambling and entertaining myself. I guess that's good enough.

Sweet dreams everyone. I hope life is treating you all well.

Good night Tinka, MEK & JustLynn
I should be going to bed. I am waiting for the midnight hour. We get triple points on our slot cards after midnight, soooooo, I have to take advantage of that, since points count towards freebees such as food & room, and shopping money. I will sign off until I get home.

ALRIGHT, I AM NEVER UP THIS LATE TO POST, I GET IT!!!

But seriously, there has to be other Owls up and the need for a MARCH is on. I will start it, and see who flys in. HOO HOO can get to 100 first???

AND,I promise NOT to hog the March and post too many times.

May the most sneaky and fastest Owl win!

OK, I know it is late EAST of the Rockies, so I will give you that.

BUT, I went and cleansed my face, brushed my teeth, moisturized, got my pj's ready, came back and NO ONE even took me up on my offer for a MARCH!!!

NOT TAKING THIS PERSONALLY!!! Everyone must be exhausted, in bed sleeping and dreaming away!

Well you will all be sorry tomorrow morning when you wake up and find out that I kicked butt!

So, I will take no prisoners and just go for it, and to heck with all of you!

Hey everybody. I am home from ushering for My Fair Lady. I love that show and this was an excellent production.

LynnD, I loved your story and LMAO because, with 3 boys of my own, been there, done that, right down to peeing on big brother's foot.

Sandie, I have also taken that test and I'm pretty sure I didn't even have any p-ness.

Scirish, As I see it, you were just stating fact!

Goldie, aren't you one of the ones that thought Joey was buying sneakers for his stereo? So it runs in the family.

Zona, good to know that you're HUNG

J/L, Glad you are going to get some Custard, but we'll miss you.

MEK, I got you message. OK.

sacBarb said...

Good night Mary and Donna Jean and Just_Lin, if you're still here.

Sweet dreams everyone. I am headed to bed.

Donna Jean said...

Too tired to wait anymore, even though it is only 12:15 AM California!

WAIT A MINUTE!!! I just left for a second, and a sneaky Owl returned!

There you were my friend Mary/MI (having fun in LV) and will be partying with me and all the others at the BABBQ, lurking and just waiting to take the bait!!!

Good for you!!! High Fives and Fist Bumping for being 100 and 101 etc!!!

Hope you are having fun in the God Awful Heat!!! Thank the Lord for A/C!!!

I am off this weekend to Sacramento, which normally has 100+ this time of year, but will be a "comfortable" 90 degrees, to visit my daughter and granddaugter Emma! I can't wait!

We will be staying in my favorite Hotel, overlooking the River and Old Sacramento, and hopefuly the local baseball team the River Cats will be playing at home, because when they do they shoot off fireworks, and from our hotel window we have a PERFECT view!

OK, enough, Donna Jean Go To Bed!

I will in a bit, but still have some energy left, and things to finish up!

I am still here for awhile, Mary or anybody, so I will check back in a bit.

Oh just checked before posting and SacBarb checked in before going off to bed! Sweet Dreams Barb!

Love ya all, Donna Jean

Donna Jean said...

Well, CRAP!

Just checked the River Cat's calendar, and they are playing out of town this coming weekend!

NO FIREWORKS for us!

Bonnie I don't know what happened to my story. I thought I copied and pasted it but I guess I didn't.

When I worked in the local grocery store a bunch of us took our breaks together. I always bought a glass of Diet Pepsi from the snack bar to go along with the two cigarettes I had. We were upstairs, chatting away when someone asked what time it was. I had my cigarette in my right hand and my diet pepsi in the left. I turned my left hand so I could see my watch and yup, diet pepsi all over me. They all had a good laugh over it. Fortunatley I lived behind the store so I could go home and changed.
