[lbgraves]

That's it!

The knockoffs must be the "Lien" Cuisines!

Sure....but are they as good as my crock pot recipe for bear?

 

[Jhalkias]

Slow night on the DIS tonight . . .

Maybe because it seems to be acting up.

 

[Jhalkias]

OK...let's see if John1 behaves himself with this one or if he reverts to the good old days. Just don't get around Kim with it!

Now I've been a good boy Lisa . . .

Ahhhhhh . . . the sweet smell of duct tape. Right Kim?

Sure....but are they as good as my crock pot recipe for bear?

Already mentioned that one once Lisa . . .

GOSH - we finally went up for the first time!!

Just me and Haley up now (she is singin me Twinkle Twinkle)...loved that Marshall movie.

 

[lbgraves]

I was just checking to see if anything posted. I was caught in the loop for both posts and logged out. Good night Haley!

 

[lillygator]

YEAH!!! We won!

 

[Tink rules]

Maybe because it's been so slow (the boards) and they are acting up...maybe everyone is taking a break...

Also... I guess most people don't have to keep up with all of our news!!! I blink & I'm 10 pages behind

. . . Yes we have the Jelly Belly Factory everyone always remembers the cheap belly flops! The restaurant Mimi's Cafe is in the parking lot of the salon I go to.

I remember driving past a huge brewery -- Anheuser Busch? Also went to a nature preserve.

My hot pink dress came today....2 sizes too small, but I have another 4 months.....and it is so Cinderella beautiful and the color is an EXACT match to John's shirt. We are going to look so good in our pics. I think I'll get my hair done up....nice! When I get my mani/pedi I will make sure I get hot pink....I already have the color to bring with me. I'm getting so very excited.....more and more everyday!!!

My Coldwater order arrived the other day. I love everything!

Now I just have to lose enough weight to b able to sit down in the dress - I can zipper it right now which surprised me. So if I don't lose anything I'll have to stand for dinner!

We've visited the area a few times. I remember the Jelly Belly factory, the AFB, and a restaurant -- Mimi's Cafe?

I'll bring Sir Elton in May. Enjoyed Sting at your wine soiree on the Magic in November. You and Ted are the perfect hosts! Cheers!

Woody

Thanks Woody! We had a great time and you are a wonderful guest! Next time bring Mrs. Woody to the party!

To put the cherry on the sundae, I get up this morning to read this letter to the editor in our local paper . . .

I’m concerned that members of the Plain Local school board think voters will approve the levy not in response to yet another set of needs they have foisted on voters but because of bait-and-switch tactics and their latest “get the kids involved” for the sympathy vote. It’s all about marketing, folks. Screw the electorate. Shame on them.

The latest budget cuts are more like petty cash and an insult to our intelligence. Any responsible executive would more than “trim” the budget by first cutting all assistant positions. If principals and superintendents are well-qualified when they are hired and paid such generous salaries, why do they need assistants?

Much has changed with the onset of the teachers union, hasn’t it? Dare not touch the sacred cows and find themselves in a lawsuit. No, it’s cheaper to play games with the voters and hope yet another time on the ballot will be the charm. After all, they’ve got to be worn down by now, don’t they?

The board’s “in your face” continuous and millage levy amount does nothing but incite well-informed voters to ask what is it about “no” that board members fail to understand. To quote the line made famous in the movie “Network,” “We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore.”

DON HAGER, PLAIN TOWNSHIP

Yes, I am a member of this school board. Do I strike you all as this irrational?

Looking forward to your rebuttal in the next issue of the paper...

Give 'em what for, John!!!

Anyone remember the I Love Lucy episode when she had a dress that she could not sit down in? I don't remember which episode, but I do remember her standing by the mantel because she could not sit. What a great comedian shw was.

I haven't gotten mine yet, I think it comes tomorrow. Lisa, do you think they run large or right on?

Mine came on Saturday. I am set for dress up dresses for the next several cruises! I also got a jacket and tank to wear with jeans that I love.

Always . . . Always . . .

Hey V, I interviewed TWO people this morning who have relocated here from Florida - I asked WHY? Answer was no jobs and the cost of living. No great jobs here either, but I guess if the cost of living is significantly less you can put up with winter - which btw we broke a 100-year record yesterday with a high of 63!

The only jobs I have though are Part-time, paying minimum wage which is now at $7 an hour. Problem is, no one (or hardly anyone) wants to take such a job. I just keep wondering what is going to happen to our country when the good jobs are all gone, and no one wants to work the not so good ones.

John,

Warmer at your place than here in No Cal!! There are still many people without power as well!

There was another storm today, not as bad as last Thursday and Friday. Wasn't too bad at our house and shop today, but DD's Othodontist's power went out and we had to postpone her appointment. (DD wasn't too unhappy about that!)

I think they run right on. And their sizes seem consistent even in different styles (I have jeans, skirts, and dresses from them all in the same size.)

A lot of other places have a big range - I currently have 3 different sizes of clothing I wear on a regular basis and all fit so I tend to think the middle size is more correct (and all my Coldwater falls into that category).

I might have to take a trip to one of the local stores thiw weekend as they are now having 70% in store sales.

That's good to know...there's one near my house!

I'm going to watch the People's Choice Awards at 9pm.....should be interesting to see how it goes because of the writer's strike.....besides, I love watching award shows to see the fashions and jewelry and hair.....it gives me good ideas for our fancy dress nights.....besides, I love being a girl!

Deb,

We watched a little bit of it, but it was too dissapointing! Not much in the fashions, jewelry and hair department!

I hope this strike ends soon... I am really dissapointed about the Golden Globes being cancelled.
