Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

[JenniferS]

Oh and by the way...my unemployed lobster eating husband just asked me why we are heading over to the hockey rink. Then he added, "oh - it's Saturday". Yeah...he's going to need to go back to work.

How long has he been off?
I've been "in between" sites for almost a year. Hubby has been off since September.

He goes back this week for Phase II of a project he sold more than a year ago.
Tuesday for office set-up, and then the VIP Preview event Wednesday and Thursday; open to the general public on Saturday.

There are hundreds of people registered for the VIP Preview, so it may go really well, or fall totally flat.

Folks are going to be in for massive sticker shock.
The developer raised the lot prices $250K, the contracts for 2016 vs 2015 are up about $50K and the Builder thinks he undersold the first phase by about $100K.
You do the math - unless the Builder really sharpens his pencil between now and Tuesday, that will be a price jump of about $400,000.

Even in Canadian funds, that's a whole heck of a lot of money.

I just googled the name and sure enough on the image page nothing pops up but cute little mices....mouses...meese...small rats

Well there you go. I come by my Disney obsession naturally. It's in my genes to love the Mouse.

Oh this just gets better and better ....
When translated, it means "RAT".

Did you know there's a MattS who plays for the Cubs? (25 year old backup outfielder)

Yes. It's a very uncommon name, so my Bros let me know as soon as he hit the Big Leagues.

Son #2 was supposed to have been named "Matthew", but he wouldn't have been a Szczur anyway.

FYI - for anyone trying to pronounce it, the correct pronunciation is along the lines of Stchyure.
Our relatives in the States changed the family name to "Stury".
We pronounce it "Sure".

Growing up, I can't tell you how many times I heard, "Are you sure you're sure, Szczur?"
Oh yeah, so funny, I forgot to laugh.

Careful, where me & @NYwdwfan live rats usually wind up getting whacked. Capiche?

He's only been out a week and a half. And it should only last a month or so.

Ummm...still missing a few vowels for me to be able to sound that out!!!

Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.

My mother's maiden name was "Main". She married a "Szczur".
Her oldest sister married a "Dereniwski".
Her older sister married a "Nyyssonen", and then an "Ojoromongo".

Are all the vowel keys but "o" on your computer broken?

I know a Kropf who married a Szmer.

Not sure if that's an upgrade or not.

Are you sure you aren't scrambling the letters in each name to confuse us?

I was picking up dog poop in the backyard this morning and as I was picking up one piece with the scooper, it started to sprout legs and move. Turned out to be a baby snapping turtle. Guess I better watch where my dog is sniffing back there for the rest of the month.

Dang, busted!

You're over thinking it young lady. In this case, Dawson translates back to Szczur. Perhaps even Rose Dawson.

What about DeWitt Bukater?

No you'd have to have another "s" on the end of it for that to happen. (Szczurs) (pronounced Sure-is)
