Happy Birthday, Mia and Jude!
When you're around no moments blue
It's so fine to see ya
Little Jude and Miss Mia
Your smiles can lighten a mood.
Hey Lisa! Who won?
Just got into work.
Haven't seen any posting since Friday morning. Hope to get to you soon with a winner.
By the way... I was hoping to see if the reaction to the question, "Who is the manlier man?" would be divided along male/ female lines. I will have to go back and look at the information.
Happy Birthday Jude and Mia
When you're 16 you can have a KIA
IF you stay sweet and smile
in your cool toddler style,
...I have to go, I'll be back in awhile...
Happy Birthday from The LAVELLE'S!
Sorry to change the subject, but I need help.
This is regarding finding a value for an item for our auction.
I have in my posession a special edition of Monopoly - the Berkshire Hathaway Diamond Edition signed by Warren Buffet.
I went on e-bay today and found that a ukelele he signed went for $11,000 at auction but a 3 x 4 index card he signed sold on e-bay for $18.00.
Do you have any idea of how to find the value of this?
Thanks!
Britney Spears shaved her head! I guess Nance's right about holocene!
Honestly...she probably could not stand all the attention given to Anna Nicole Smith!
That's a good auction item, where did you get it???
You may want to put it on Ebay...you'll get more money from all his stockholders, etc. Its different that an index card because it's his monopoly game. Auctions here have signed "money sheets" from him and they do well. Call the DEV. DIRECTOR at Marian...402-571-2618...she can help, tell her you're my sister (can't think of her name...)
Monopoly is more of a Trump game.
Well, you can play a ukelele but you can't play...never mind. Tell them that similar items have sold on Ebay for $11,000. Maybe set a minimum bid? It amazes me what people will spend buckets of money on.
We were at our church fund raiser here this weekend. Our Parish priest always does a watercolor painting. Usually not so good. This time it went for $7500. We were sitting at the same table as the one of the two couples bidding on it. My favorite moment of the night was watching the husband of the woman bidding on it. He just kept looking more and more like he as going to vomit. He kept getting paler and paler. They didn't end up with it. But they held out till the very end.
Manly.
For those that ordered a tee:
My Dad will be bringing them on Friday the 23rd. We owe him @ $1200 for all the tee's. They, ultimately, cost us $12/per and if you could forward your payment...that would be very helpful. Checks should be made payable to Tom or Nance Straub and you can mail them to us at 207 Timberline Trail. Again, thank you so much for your orders. I will assume that you will pick them up when you are in town, however if you would like yours mailed out...give us a buzz at 515-295-7725. Thank you!
Monica...that mystifies me! Why would you pay for a bad painting...the guy could be transferred next year, and then what...no special favors or nuthin!
Ah, but the indulgences, the indulgences...
Emily-sorry for the delay. The spot bot is great-I think there isn't a fresh spot it coulldn't get out. It will completely clean a circle about the size of a cheap paper plate. It gradually will work out old stains, too, I think, with repeated applications. You fill it with soap and water, turn it on, and a cycle takes about 8 minutes. It's not to do whole floors, unless you want to gradually cover your floor with paper plate sized circles until the floor is completely venned.
I give it a thumbs-up!
Is there a movie called "Ghost Rider" out at the same time there's a movie called "Ghost Writers"? So confusing.
Who's the manlier man?
Yul Brenner.
The vote was 5 - 3.
Frank was the only boy who voted for Yul. Nance the only girl who voted for Charlton.
I think Yul is manlier, Randy thinks Charlton. When posed with this question a few years ago, Mom picked Yul and Dad Charlton. I was mostly curious to see how women and men perceive the two.
Now... who's the winner of the dictionary contest... That will be answered in a later posting.
It's nice to know that I won't have to fight for Charlton's affections with any of my sister-in-laws...but, will I have to with Tom? :-<> ;-)
OK, so today I have completely lost my voice. It's gone. Yesterday two people said I sounded like lauren bacall. I didn't go to work today but mostly bc I didn't sleep at all last night due to sore throat. So here's another survey: at what point do you, as an adult, go to the dr. for such a thing? My inclination is no fever no doctor. I'm not going, but I'm just wondering long others wait. And if finances play a role in you decision.
It depends on toleration of pain and duration of symptoms.
Lots of people wanted to sound like the young Lauren Bacall. The question is, do you sound like the young Lauren or the old Lauren? (She sounds scary)
Who's sick?
It's Pat.I sounded like the old Lauren Bacall but today I sound like the horse whisperer.
Heston wants you to think he's cool. Brynner didn't give a damn what you think.
as long as you don't sound like wolfman jack i think you're ok.
Warning - Ryan heard that people who take Airborne regularly and in large quantities are having liver trouble. I take 1 tablet if I feel a little sniffly or my throat is showing the first signs of scratchiness. I never have followed the directions to take 1 every three hours - I always just have 1 tablet and I'm done with it. I've stayed healthy since Christmas by doing this despite holding little kids wet hands after they picked who knows what and getting coughed and sneezed on by dozens of kids through the worst flu season around here in the past three years. So don't O.D. on the Airborne (but I'm still convinced it works if used sparingly) And all you sickies need to eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies!
Last night Stevo picked Yul too. He thinks Charlton's gay. I think he's crazy. (Stevo, I mean)
Who's the manliest man who has ever sung in a musical? Hint: nobody from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I might vote along with Stevo. Who knows? Kenny Chesney is gay.
p
I don't go unless...Hmm. I go now regularly because of diabetes checkups, but before I was diagnosed I never went. But I never used to get sick. So I don't know. Prolonged sore throat with fever or prolonged coughing, I guess. Or if blood is gushing.
Cathy, diagnosed with what?
He (Stevo) has a pretty good gay-dar though. Except the time we watched a whole show questioning the sexuality of Abraham Lincoln. He still doesn't think Abe was gay, but I think he probably was.
Go to the doctor if people you know have the same illness and it doesn't get any better in a few days. The wife-swap family from Iowa that was on TV last night said they eat all raw meat and they're never sick. Start that diet, it might make you seem cooler, too.
I think the indication that Kenny is gay came from Renee filing divorce due to, "fraud." I'm not sure that's what she meant though. I'll have to ask her about it the next time we talk. :-)
He denied it on 60 minutes it but it's too wonderful. Gay country singer.

Bloomington police were investigating a mother who allegedly left her 10-year-old son at the Mall of America while she went to a casino.
The boy was found wandering the mall unattended around 7:30 p.m. Friday. He had a wristband for unlimited rides at the mall's theme park, but said he hadn't eaten and didn't have any money.
Police Commander Jim Ryan said on Tuesday that after dropping the boy off at the mall, the mother took a noon shuttle bus to Mystic Lake casino in Prior Lake.
Ryan says the 41-year-old woman was paged at the casino, and when she was reached around 9:30 p.m., she said she didn't have a ride — and the next shuttle wasn't due until midnight.
Police took custody of the boy, who's now being cared for in a Minneapolis group home.
His mother could face possible child-endangerment charges, a gross misdemeanor.
How'd she do at the casino?
Wow! Scary!
Side note: The MOA has a curfew rule stating that children under the age of 16(?)can't be in the mall after 6pm(?). Something like that. Children breaking the rule are brought to the security office and their parents are called.
I forgot to mention the key word, "unattended," children.
So, Pat, how do you minnesotans feel about Al Frankin running for Senate up there?
I like Al Franken
Antonio Banderas was in a Broadway musical. So was Hugh Jackman.
A contest of rythm and line
Proved silver-tongued blarney could shine
But poor Tom felt thwarted
When Grace was rewarded
For her brilliant and brazen wee rhyme
so, say i win the lottery and quit my job. could i then join the AARP?
Antonio - manly. Hugh - gay. Well, depending in how you define manly. Does the definition necessarily exclude gay? Abraham Lincoln - no way. He was just a depressive man married to a bipolar woman. But smart and funny.
Manliest man in a musical: Mel Brooks.
The Holy Family secretary was telling me about the raw meat family. They did have an adjustment period of vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Just a cautionary note, in case anyone's considering it as a new lifestyle. She also never cleans her bathrooms or kitchen or whatever? I guess it's all about building up immunity to lethal bacteria. They probably get their drinking water from that pond on the neighbor's hog lot.
Only if you're 50 or older. Money can't buy everything.
so then i could sue them for age discrimination?
Yeah, but if you're already rich, why bother fighting with a bunch of old farts? You could spend your time campaigning to end Social Security instead.
I just got an email from the diocese reminding me that tomorrow's Ash Wednesday. Duh.
i just like the irony of it.
Heading home to fix a fabulous Mardi Gras dinner before the season of abstinence and penitence. Ooooh...I'm thinking of giving up TV but then I think of Jack Bauer saving the world without me and I just don't know...and what about Jim in The Office? Is he going to continue with the bat thing? I could give up CNN and only watch Fox News but, shoot, if I wanted to throw up I could just eat raw meat instead. Hmm.
I bet the kids in the raw meat family don't have very many friends stay overnight.
So what's on your menu for tonight, cathy?
i went to the doctor and i'm not supposed to talk for about 5 days. Isn't that funny? Dr asked if I had a job where i yell a lot. I'm also not supposed to clear my throat. If my voice doesn't come back in 5 days I'm supposed to see an ENT bc it will have been about 10 days of sore throat and many days of no voice by then.
So, I lied. I did go to the dr in the end, after all.
p
Is Josh thankful you won't be talking for 5 days?
That was me above. Sorry.
Jude would like to thak everyone for the birthday wishes. He had a nice, low-key birthday. We got him a little basketball hoop which I would like to keep in his room, but he keeps making me drag it out to the living room. He can do a two hand jam. Actually that's the only thing he can do. I think we need to raise it. He also received some play cookware and plastic food and he loves to "cook. Thanks Mom and Dad for the check. Jude told us you wanted us to cash it promptly and we will.
Cathy, the bat thing that Jim does is so funny. You have to watch. Think of something else to sacrifice. I need to think of something myself.
i'm thinking of giving up red meat... man, that would be a tough one. i love me a good steak.
Lincoln often spent the night in other men's beds, even after he became president.
The Raw-meat kids didn't have any friends because they didn't go to school and didn't leave their farm much. They didn't even have real home-schooling, just learned "whatever they wanted." The 16 year old said he did his math by adding and subtracting the eggs he collected from their chickens. And they brushed their teeth with a clay-butter mixture. I think they represented Iowa pretty accuratly.
Em ~ Funny you should mention the cookware and plastic food. I suggested, once, that we get the boys a play kitchen and food for their birthday. My husband, Chef Tom Straub, thought it was faggy. Now, isn't that ironic?!
This homophobic attitude further demonstrates Tom's far right wing affiliations.
Peter got an easy bake oven for christmas. We sometimes make oatmeal in it for breakfast. It takes 20 minutes. We don't do it on school days. He loves it. I did have to search for a blue one.
Sweetheart...I didn't say you SAID it was faggy...I said you THOUGHT it was faggy. Mmm, hmm. ;-)
Lots of men slept together until the 20th century. Inns and roadhouses often had strangers sharing beds.
I've often noted that the Omaha stations always find a toothless or hugely mulleted bystander to interview when they cover a Council Bluffs story. On the other hand, there's no shortage of such colorful bystanders to choose from. Who wants to interview someone generic who could be in any Chamber of Commerce in the country? It's up to Iowa to find and lock up all those grizzled guys before the media descend. Give'em free tickets to Branson or something.
I'm giving up alcohol but I have a dispensation from my pastor for St. Patrick's day. This is gonna hurt. I wouldn't have too hard a time giving up meat - I could be a vegetarian pretty easily.
When Molly was teaching preschool the little boys liked playing in the kitchen as much as the girls - they just had a greater propensity to use innocent kitchen utensils as weapons. Girls would take a set of nesting teaspoons and make a little family out of them. Boys would use them as guns. Tom, stop waving those knives around like a ninja.
Pat, do you get to take a week off from work? Does your throat still hurt? Are you getting creative with sign language?
HOLOCENE: Designating the present epoch of geologic time.
We have a tie.
Ed's for sounding so dictionary-ish, and Cathy for stating the obvious.
Hey what do you get for this, anyway? Not much. You will each receive a box of heart-healthy microwave popcorn. It is crunchy and tasts good while breaking up the nasty cholosterol in your bloodstream. To be delivered St. Patrick's Day weekend (if you're not coming, let me know and I'll think of a different delivery system.)
Thanks for playing. This is one of my favorite palour games.
