The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

As we got in our teens, Mom thought no one should leave the house without make up. After hearing about animal testing, and harmful chemicals. I said no way.

Huh...my mom didn't let me wear makeup. I remember once when I was 17 or 18 and my mom had told me I could wear a little bit to the school dance. I put on a bit of eyeliner and that was it and I was leaving and my mom said "Don't you think you have a bit too much makeup on?" and I said "nope!" and walked out the door before she could tell me to go wash it off.

nowadays, everyone can be "offended" over anything.
"omg, you have a pimple! this offends me!"

I would love to live in a place with stray peacocks! That would brighten up my every day.

go figure, I was this weekend in a party, and the owner had peacocks everywhere.

Good thing I didn't go to the grocer and ask him to bring in the new blue olives!

he might give you some that have been bad for a year or so..

Oh, stepgrandfather update:
It's been a long haul, but he's doing much better. He's in rehab right now, but my grandmother says they think he will be able to go home next week. Yea! They were concerned because his blood pressure was dropping when he would stand. My grandmother has a friend who is a pharmacist, and her friend thought about the fact that it could be one of his medications. When her friend went over his medication list, she determined the culprit and gave his doctor an alternative medication idea. He went on the other medication and is no longer having that problem. So that is very good news and quite a relief

That is awesome to hear!

Awe. That balloon made me smile too.

I'm glad to hear that. I always try to post a variety. Even the snow ones (that some poo-poo about) have a touch of beauty to them I think.

I just noticed Samantha Brown is selling travel stuff on HSN. She has some expensive luggage.

That is very lucky. I think a lot of time it depends on what you do. For me, holidays are very important work days. (But I do get 29 days of paid vacation a year so I can hardly complain.) And I know in retail, inventory happens a lot at the end of the year. In other professions, there are other needs then. So long as you know these things when you sign on, it shouldn't be a problem.

Holy smokes. Sign me up at your job. I have 0.

Yes...he loves Skylanders and has three different games! That's why when he asked for Infinity for Christmas, Santa had no problem bringing it. But it turned out to be not nearly as fun for him and nobody else seems to like it either.

the new lego dimensions could be an option.

We all understand @donaldtoo, I still like those skinny bird legs of yours!

Hi? I'm trying to enter the chit chat thread without making any loud noises.
I'm here. Me thinks.
I made a post this morning before my day turned insane (two kids, three costumes).
I just logged on again with the kids and the man fast asleep and you all have done three pages since my post this morning!
I have no point. I was just thinking maybe this might be a relaxing place to just talk to adult people who like to have fun and step away from work for a minute now and then during the day.
I've been looking for that for a while.
So Hi. I'm Sabrina. I love Disney trips. Found it quite by accident when my husband (then boyfriend) and I were invited to a wedding. Why? I asked....would adults go to Disney? Been hooked ever since.

We don't always "adult". That's no fun.

Well after two months of being in the hospital and then in rehab, step grandfather finally made it home today. And he's apparently a very happy camper.

WOOOOOHHHOOOOOOO...!!!!!!!
Sooo very glad to hear...!!!!!

I did the profile and looked at the FAQs and it says it's for children and parents, too. There's even a separate profile quiz for children to do. I want to do it with my kids. I think my daughter is a time person, but she's also very physical...she loves to snuggle up and watch a movie with me. I'm not sure with my son. He's definitely NOT physical. I think he's more of a words kid, but he might also be quality time. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for the link!

Oh, thanks for letting me know! I had only heard it was for spouses, but I'll definitely check out the parent one, too.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Well... I've only been here for a half a month myself... and I would LOVE to always be all Princess and Manners, however there have been a few posts where I've just needed to chime in and be like all GRRRR

That's happened to almost all of us at some point.

 

[donaldtoo]

I am in the same boat, @donaldtoo . I can't handle all of that "ketchup", either, so I just jumped in. I guess I hope to figure it out as I go along.

Hahaaa...!
Fortunately, there's not much to figure out here...just chit chat...!

 

[catmom46]

I have these amazingly spicy buffalo wings chips at home that my husband picked up at Cabela's. They are the spiciest chip I have ever eaten. The problem is...they are at home and not here. They are all I am thinking about today.

Great, now I'm craving buffalo wings, which are also at home.

He must be related to my dh he sleeps through everything.

I used to be able to sleep through anything, but no more. Not since becoming a mommy.

75 here today, rain mixed with snow, Thursday. Then back to the 60's on the week-end.

76 and clear here right now. Supposed to get up to 78.

Good afternoon. I never met a rope drop I didn't like as I'm a morning person

I get up early during the week at home but on vacation I'm the exact opposite.
I've never planned a rope drop that I've actually made it to.

 

[catmom46]

My dh is lucky he can take off almost anytime he wants with some notice

That's how it is at my work, too. I'm definitely not chained to my desk, which is one of the main reasons why I've stayed for 15 years.

It was great when DD was in preschool because we could take vacations during non-peak periods (i.e., not summer or Christmas break). Now that she's in school, we'll be traveling along with everyone else.
