    What is this thread about?

    Well, things get quiet here on the weekends, so a thread was started to just hang out and do a virtual crop. Since then it's grown into more. Several people are now "regular" including myself. We chat about anything and everything. (Warning: Sometimes we stray into areas that may be considered "adult," although we always try to be tasteful about it.) We share our latest layouts, pictures, whatever interests us. We have fun and encourage each other.

    It's now all week long, too. Since it is a new thread each week, it's easier for anyone to join. Even though we start over each week, it's STILL pages and pages long. Don't be intimidated, we are happy to have anyone drop by and say hello. Some of us read all the replies and keep up, but it is not required. Warning: It can get addictive!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Please leave updates about yourself here in the update blog and also here in the Prayer Request Blog. This is for those who can't be online as much as they would like to be. At least this way, there's highlights from this thread.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    This is a place where we can store info - email addresses, geographical locations, birthdays. (We started this because we wanted to know who we have to go looking for after major events such as the recent hurricanes in the U.S.)

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/virtual_crop_week/?yguid=283637236

    Sign up for the group. You have to be approved, and currently Jenni (c-leaper) is the only one doing that. (She will probably grab a person or two here in the next couple days to help oversee the admin duties.) The approval process isn't because we're elitist or anything - it's just our way of making sure that those who have access to our info there are "known" to us and not just people signing up randomly to farm the information. The purpose of this site is to store emergency contact information for the members of our group. Please be respectful of its intended use and do not abuse the information.

    Once you're approved, you can add your info to the database and/or your birthday to the calendar. If you need help with either of these functions, just yell and someone here will give you instructions.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Most of us also really love BLING and encourage bling usage...some to the point of "pimping" but hey, whatever gets the blingy point across!

    Who, US???? Pimp BLING??? NEVER!



    Come visit Our Gallery to meet some of the irregular regulars!

    So come on! Don't be bashful! And don't be afraid of the fact that this thread MOVES. Just jump in wherever we are, and we'll be glad to get you caught up on what's happening. We never know what we're going to talk about or how silly we will get.

    WARNING: Reading of, or participation in, this thread could result in food or drink being sprayed across your computer or sleepless nights ... Just read responsibly.

    Okay. I did it. All the links work. Took me forever and a week to figure out how Viv's been putting pictures into the opening blog post, but I think I might've figured it out. Maybe. Dunno. I got a picture in there anyhow...g'night...

    morning
  • Leebla
    it's 6 AM...would it be in appropriate to call all the people that claim I never call them because all I get are their stupid voice mails?
  • Moxiegirl23
    I'm mean enough to say yes.
  • Leebla
    Well technically business hours are at 8:30, but I'm going to start at 8. And from now on everyone gets 2 calls a day.
  • Moxiegirl23
    trying to figure out what I'm going to accomplish today.

    I say do it. After all aren't these people having sleep issues anyway?
  • Scrappycath
    Hello my two fine early morning friends!
  • Moxiegirl23
    Morning!
  • Leebla
    Morning!
  • Scrappycath
    I don't want to go to work today.
  • Leebla
    I was awake most all night. Wish I could make $25 an hour working at JoAnn's. I would sooo tell this man to shove it. I am so tired of his mood swings and being at the bottom of his hill.
  • Scrappycath
    Dh is about a fire call he went on yesterday. 2nd time they have had a fire in this home. May have an arsonist in the family. One of the daughters mentioned where they used to live.... a house dh remembers fighting fire in years ago. They always felt it was torched, but could not produce evidence.

    But the part is that he has to get off track from the details and tell me every fire fighter and what they were doing.

    I'm trying to appear as if I care.

    I'm exhausted from this week. And tonight is Patrick's football game. It doesn't start until 8:30 which means it won't end until 10:30 and then the coach wants to treat the boys to pizza after the game.

    Hello? They are 10 & 11 years old. They go to bed then!!

    OK - I want to go to bed then!

    I'm trying to figure out why my child support deposit is short?!
  • Moxiegirl23
    Why is my beloved daughter in my room before I finish my first cup of coffee asking about breakfast "is there anything else I can eat?" besides what I just named for her. I'm not a freaking restaurant!
  • Moxiegirl23
    Just deleted over 300 email from my inbox.
  • Leebla
    still plugging away on inventory
  • Moxiegirl23
    Ok. Abby is at school. I need to do a load of laundry because when John did laundry yesterday, he didn't do my jeans, so until I wash them, I'm stuck in my scummy sweat pants.
  • Scrappycath
    Nothing wrong with being in sweats!
  • Moxiegirl23
    No, but they are definately not leaving the house pants: paint stains all over them and hole below the knees.
  • Scrappycath
    Oreo is still not peeing very much. I set him up alone in my bedroom with his own litter box. Will run home at lunch to check on him. If there he is not flowing - I'll be taking him back to the hospital.

    Never thought I'd be hoping to see cat pee!

    Awwww, they sound super comfy!
  • Moxiegirl23
    no they're actually a little small. But they cover my legs and they were the first pair of pants I grabbed this morning when I was rooting in my closet.

    • hukneeb Said:
    OH, by the way... remember when I was here chatting w/ you girls and I got all freaked out about a bone popping sound coming from my belly... well..

    I finally convinced myself that I must have moved another part of my body without realizing it, and a bone popped or something.

    Anyway, no sooner than that, I heard it again, and again, and again... Now it happens all the time!

    I had an appt. w/ my dr, on Tuesday and I told her about it (after telling her not to think I am crazy, lol)... and she said that this is normal. She said that they didn't know what it was, but that I am in fact not the only one to report this. Great... I am not as much of a weirdo as I thought, but I still want to know what the heck it is!

    As of yet, I still have not found anyone else who has experienced this :(.


    I did with Geoffrey, freaked me out too. My doctor told me it was totally normal. It started at 4 or 5 months and lasted the entire rest of the pregnancy.
  • Scrappycath
    I got a (bulk) email telling I can register for a HR cruise complimentary, no strings attached! Then the link lists all the things you would have to pay for. Uh huh, no strings, but if you want to ever leave the boat (like say at the end of the cruise) there is a fee, if you want to eat, if you want linens in your cabin..... and so on!
  • Scrappycath
    Liz Foltzy - I love all the princesses!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Scrappycath
    Wow, I passed 13,000 posts!
  • Foltzy
    morning.

    Thanks Cathy, wanted something Halloweeney and love the Princesses and so does Micayla (probably why her room is decorated in all Princess stuff).
  • Moxiegirl23
    Ok. yesterday John torked me off about the dishes and how I was washing them , yada yada. So today I'm doing it exactly the way he said to. I'm hoping that they don't clean well at all and everything needs to be rewashed because stuff got baked on in the dishwasher's dry cycle. For the record, I rinsed everything out before putting stuff in and it's not overly full at all, so it's not like I'm sabotaging the results.
  • Moxiegirl23


    Spaz is visiting again. John just came in here to give me the morning squirrel update and while he was in my room, Spaz grabbed some nuts and made himself comfy with Winnie Bear on the couch. She is not amused.

    • jelly97 Said:
    Hey, ladies.. prayer request here...

    DH told me his group just made an announcement that they might be sold... so there will be some layoffs.

    If he loses his job, he'll probably want to go full time on photography.. it means I will have to go back on full time work because we need at least ONE steady income.

    I'd like him to look for another job, but most of the job offers are in CA.. we don't want to move.



    Prayers being sent!

    • leebla Said:


    SVT...atrium is kicking out crazy extra beats which ARE being transmitted to the ventricles and his heartrate goes sky high...In 24 hour holter, 3000 episodes of heartrates as high as 180. Yes I said 3000. he is on Cardizem because the Beta Blockers drop his heartrate to 40 and he feels like crud. He has to go see a cardiologist next Thursday.



    Far better than VT! (Com'on, I'm trying to look at all the bright side).

    Do they know if it is caused by the atria or is the AV node the causal point?

    dd had her ultrasound today.
    It's a boy!
    They can't make up their minds about her due date. Either she is further along then they thought or the kids will be tall!

    We went out to dinner with them to celebrate.



    Love the good news!!!

    I'm out

    Guess I've gotta really concentrate on work for a while.

    Old thread:

    • BlingQueenRia Said:
    I got a packet in the mail today from the lawyer who's handling my grandmother's estate. My paternal grandmother passed away last year, and her estate has been in probate all this time. Well, everything finally finished up and I got a packet informing me that I am one of eleven beneficiaries in her will.

    Grandma was quite a wealthy woman, and nobody knew it. She lived very...frugally. I am getting a sum that is roughly a bit more than a year's worth of wages at McD's. I am putting most of it in the bank and paying bills, but I'm also getting a new computer. So I'm shopping around.



    Good move.

    I want to be grandmother like that. I'm gonna open up savings accounts for both grandsons. My mother did that with my two kids and it's really helped them.
  • Craftnangel
    Good Morning Girls.. I just got caught up on the other thread and realized there is a new one.. Yall crack me up.. But thanks for the smile..

    Morning!

    I asked DH to cancel his vacation plans today (he was going to celebrate anniversary with me) and go to the important gropu meeting.

    His company has announced that they wanted to sell the division he's in. If there are no buyers, there will be massive layoffs.

    But even today, they are thinking of cutting 300 people in AZ.

    It's not good news. I do not like going back to full time, but I may have to until he finds another job. We have to make some choices... he gets call from headhunters all the time, but the jobs are in CA... and even if we move there, I'm not sure how long that'll last....
