**SWEET INTERRUPTION** 7

LOL, Jaye... I think I was sleeping off the effects of a pain pill I took in the middle of the night, night before last. I'm not a pill taker, and when I have to take one, I usually only take a half... but I took a whole one, and it made me groggy. I've always said that if I ever cared to become a drug addict, I'd be a cheap drug addict... cause it doesn't take much to drug me up.
HOWEVER, if you're right... GOOD... cause I really don't have time right now to fight an infection.

Yes, Jaye... I dmailed her.

Oops sorry walked away to start some laundry. Yep got the address Thanks though!
Zeke is doing ok, just got a runny nose, doesn't slow him down though, I just have to keep up with him to keep it wiped LOL. Poor little guy he sees me coming with Kleenex and he starts running. I have to hide it behind my back and pounce LOL.

Lolol...that's what sleeves are for Jojo... be a man Zman!!
Got to get my derriere going!

LMBO, that means I would have to get him to wear clothes...all I can do to keep a diaper on this one, he believes in the au natural look! Maybe I can just tape kleenex to his arm

Goodness!! Zman, if Auntie Jaye's there I'd rescue you from your Mama's unnecessary tactics!! Lolol.
Guess what..it's pouring out there. Change of plans.
This was emailed, thought you'll might have a light Sat'day entertainment.

They Walk Among Us!

They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail ---
was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charges. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor.
She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back…same scenario!
I departed the store with the $46.64.

They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail --- (Marion, your retirement plan)
I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said 'buy one-get-one-free.'
'They're already buy-one-get-one-free, ' she said, 'so I guess they're both free'. She handed me my free Lattes and I walked out the door.

They Walk Among Us!
One day, I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, 'Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky and said, 'Where?'

They Walk Among Us!
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the North?' When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff.

'They Walk Among Us!!I
used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day, I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, 'The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.' He responded, 'Is that Eastern or Pacific time?' Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, 'Uh, Pacific.'

They Walk Among Us!
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

They Walk Among Us!My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

They Walk Among Us!
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?'

They Walk Among Us!While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.'

Yep, They Walk Among Us!

They Walk Among Us, and they Reproduce!!

LOL LOL LOL!!!Diaper and a kleenex! What a picture!

LMBO!!! I love that !!!!! I run into that stuff every day. Thanks for the morning laugh!!!!

That's called lack of common sense!! We're breeding bunches of them!

Mornin', I'm waiting on my "hot" dates to arrive so thought I would drop in for a few minutes. Oh BJ, it is so good to see you posting again. We both would be cheap drug addicts as I react much the same. Even cheaper drunk--vanilla cap!

I see everyone is busy--don't over do it!! Jojo, no way, I repeat no way, should we let the Zekester and my GD get together now!! She hates clothes!! A while back I was talking with her on the phone and she announced, Grandma, I'm naked with flip flops. Now that's a visual for you!!!

Oh will you two buy groceries for me while you are at it? Just hate the grocery store on a Saturday! You are very brave ladies for sure.

Oh BJ, that would be wonderful if you were able to come to Florida on one of Don's trips. How exciting that would be--in fact any of you can come.

Well I think I hear someone at the door so had better go. Later.

Ahhh-commom sense is not that common my dear-run into it every day-and those kind of people in the email!!LOL I think those ones are just not bright is all;)

I am gald you liked my post Jaye & Audrey-I was worried Marion would get upset like I was comparing her to ahouse or something:) I have feelings like that about all of you-anyone else want to know what theirs is??

Joey-Zman sounds like he is related to DH-he says "clothes arent' natural-you weren't born with them on"!!LOL We DO NOT however just walk around our house nekked-at bare minimum underwear is required!!LOL

Whew! Glad to hear that!! Wouldn't want to "pop" in on you, otherwise! Tee hee hee!!!^_^

Tinky, I thought it was a very nice compliment. No way was I offended. There was a time and might be again, when you would walk in and maybe find a freshly baked cake (don't do pies much) and hot bread in the oven but that change several years ago. Now it's what is fastes and good for you!!!

I made a great discovery last night! I have a cedar wishing well sitting in my yard that will be just perfect for my gardens. Why I haven't noticed it until now is beyond me!!!! I guess it's the old saying, can't see the forest for the trees!

Jaye, I forgot to post--loved you post above!! Sounds like that is why my retirement check is shrinking!! Think?

Glad you weren't offended Marion-last thing I would want-I wasn't even going to post it at first-didn't want it to be taken wrong, but thought that I someone felt like that about me, that I would like to know:)

Marion, I know what you mean! I took a chance and bought my camera, then all $&%** broke loose! Doesn't take much to break my budget! I don't need any outside help!!! ;=D

How do I feel about Stacey?? Hmmm...
how about this...
a long lost niece whose cheeks I'd love to pinch first then, a tight, tight hug!!!

Actually you sounded like my niece from Canada. This is coming home she says.

Audrey dahlin' what did you get?

Marion, she's one lucky niece!
I hope I'm that kind of aunt to mine.

Camera? A Kodak Easy Share C713. Easy is not the right name for it!! But I don't regret getting it, even though I'll have to tighten my belt the rest of the month! I'd rather be able to take pix when I want to!

Oh I have no doubts that you are!! Don't even question that.

I spent a lot of time when I was growing up with my brother and SIL and this niece was my buddy and has remained so. She's the one who comes every year for 2 - 3 weeks and we both get upset when it is time for her to leave. In spite of the age difference, we have so much fun together!!! Stacey makes comments that reminds me of her every now and then.

Wow see when i think of Marion, I think of buckets of rum and leather hats. LOL Maybe its' just me.

ROFL nekkid and flip flops...now I have to make her a hat, can't have her going underdressed!!!!

ROFLOL!!!!!! How about reality? Buckets of iced tea or coke and no hat usually! Love the visual though.

Okay, good idea! I tell you she is going to be a double hand full!! The last time she went shopping with her Mom she insisted on dressing herself: bathing suit, rubber boots on the wrong feet. Happy? Yea indeed--she was all smiles!!

Wow! When I think of Marion, I think of pink, fluffy, ruffles! BJ is my other daughter! Jaye has a halo and wings! Stacey has the wings! (No halo, yet!)
JoJo, I'm undecided! ALL of you have BIG hearts!!

Yep me too Marion. There was a time I played quarters with tequila shots and drank hand grenades by the gallons in the Quawtah (Its a wonder I ever got out of college LOL) but now its Cokes here too. I've had a 6 pack of Coronas in the fridge for months, just don't have the taste for it anymore.

So what is the little one gonna be for Halloween this year? I gotta start costumes as soon as I get caught up on swaps LOL. We always go overboard for Halloween around here. Zeke's 1st costume (the lobster) was store bought and Sterling was mortified, she was like "MOM I've never had a store bought costume!!...poor Zeke!" she just doesn't understand getting old and tired LOL

LOL I guess I'm the rough and tumble one of the bunch! My wings got torn when I was climbing that tree

Me?? Halo and wings ?? Oh dear.. thanks Audrey, you're so sweet. Might have a halo, all taped up!!!!

BJ -- an endearing cheerleader -- with cookies waiting in her kitchen.
Marion -- definitely a lady of many hats -- expect her to do the unexpected!
Audrey-- won't take no &^%p from anyone, but determined to enjoy each day, no matter what.
Jojo-- A walking whirlwind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yep, still a tomboy with her tools)
Stacey -- can't really define her...she's just Stacey!!

Chearleader?.... Cookies?... hmmmm... Come on, Jaye !!! Really?

Love the "They walk among us" post... I got another one for ya.
We were in Home Depot getting the materials for the deck a few months ago... remember the deck we put the gazebo on?... that's when it happened. We bought 21 treated 16' boards for the decking. The clerk got distracted after scanning the first one, and didn't hit the "times 21" part. So, we got 20 of the boards free. We never told her. Shame on us.
The next time we went in the same Home Depot, Don had to get some supplies for a project he was working on, and I walked around in the garden center (of course)... and I found a flat of moss rose on sale really cheap.. so I carried the flat to the lumber dept to meet Don. We checked out at the lumber side of the store. The clerk had to call the garden center to get the price on the plants, rang them up... and forgot all about everything else in the basket. We left with about $50 worth of supplies. Shame on us again.
Makes you wonder how they stay in business... huh?

Well, got the mowing done... just came in to cool off a minute... then I'm off to do the weed eating. I MIGHT get groceries today... maybe not... Might make Don take me on a date for dinner.

Yes, Stacey... I want to hear how you have me envisioned.

OK-here is goes:

Jaye is like a cup of citrus flavored hot tea-warm and soothing with a little splash of refreshing and some caffeine for a little boost.

Bj is like a walk into a forest that you have never been-when you breath deeply you get a great sense of peace and tranquility and as you walk you find wonders that you never imagined would be there.

Joey I don't have one for yet-trying to figure her out;)

Audrey is like a puppy or kitten-still learning things but as soon as you think she is sweet and innocent-watch out-she getsa all riled and feisty with the hairs standing up:)

Kathy-ahhh-how do I describe her-she is like a breeze that I can't see, but always know is with me, she is like a fond memory-when you least expect it, it makes you smile, she is like a bra (sorry)-even though you forget it's on, it gives you strength and support all day long (it was the closest I could come to what I was trying to convey LOL)

Kathy

Same clerk, BJ? Actually, they could afford to give plenty away for nothing!! You should see some of the stuffs they deliberately damage, just to ensure no one get them for free..like returned merchandise!!!!!!

Oh my Stacey, love your descriptions. Except that sometimes I have a little splash of Drambuie in my tea ;) Lol!! Hugs my dear one!

Rain has subside some... Thai food anyone? That's where we're heading to, then the bookstore and of course gonna look for some more whimsical stuffs.

Love you all!

WOW... Stacey... a walk in the forest is one of my favorite things to do too. And I love to do that because of the wonders you never imagined to be there. I love that description.
THANKS.

Oh, my! We do have our opinions, don't we!!

Nope, Jaye... different clerks. But they get plenty of our money, so I'm sure they won't go broke. Actually, Don always says that we should own the far left corner by now, as much as we spend in there.

sorry audrey-I wan't being demeaning, just trying to convey innocent and firecracker in a descrition for you:) Sometimes you are one and sometimes the other....

I just close my eyes and think of you and then I have a feeling that I have to put into words....

BJ-maybe you should buy some HD stock and make $$ on your $$ you are spending there....
