The wedding (which is a joke) is a possible solution to enabling Bare and Fireboy to legally stay in this country as long as they want. They would be marrying us. We are open to other suggestions. Do you have any?

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Susan...That is a GREAT idea..http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...attasmiley.gif

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Susan & Tom,

Thankyou for clarifying. Sounds like a plan! :bigthumbsup: Im for anything that will get them here permanently.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

:bigthumbsup: on a December wedding! Mr. Bright and I will be there for sure.

Now, for my role in this whole "affair", no pun intended.... 1rnfl...I'll do the catering.

Yes, Susan and all others, you heard me right. I am an A1, topnotch caterer (never done it before but I know I can, I know I can, I know I can...chug, chug, chug) and can put on a spread that will knock you all off your feet (fungus tends to do that to people).

Ok, I promise NOT to use any sort of fungus in my concoctions. But then again, would I ever tell? ::) ::) ??? ::) ::)

OK, OK....if you won't agree on me catering then guess I'll just show up dressed for the occasion...dontcha love my special occasion gray dress?

Jan

Sorry to hear about Amity's accident. Give her my best wishes for a quick recovery.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Bright, you are so clever with your inserts! That blinking eye (in another thread) really freaked me out.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Barefoot

Think I have way too much time on my hands.....

Well, should be doing school work at home tonight but can't get motivated...would rather be here in TOTV

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Bright, I love this website to catch up on news, but I've now spent 12 days online!! Scary. :yikes:

Some days when I'm lazy, I just can't seem to get away from the computer. Whatever did we do in the "old days" before the internet? :dontknow:

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Boy barefoot do I understand!

In the old days I read books....sadly, I've let the internet rob me of that wonderful past time I used to have...I miss it...but not enough to give up my TOTV, Pogo games, and Sploofus!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Bright, I'm not loving your hair in that gray dress picture. ;)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

As one of the Brides I have to express concern over the choices that one of our dear friends seems to be making for us, (and for herself).

Bright, it has already been established that your taste in food is truly disgusting. Fungus, plastic meatballs, who knows what else....and I am not sure I want to know. Thank goodness Mr. B. does most of the cooking.

The taste of food is important to me, however, you have crossed the line with those clothes. You are no longer our Wedding Planner. When you said you might like to add some long skirts to your closet (where you house all but 2 of the skorts sold in this country), I had no idea you were so far out of your comfort zone.

I will take you shopping before the event.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Susan, I wanna wear a purple dress.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I heard it was cold and rainy in the northeast yesterday. I was thankful to be here. 8)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Oh No Sam!! Thats the last thing I want to hear. >:( I've got my fingers in my ears and Im saying lalalalalalalalalalalalala!!!!!!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Nonie, I feel your pain. I have to go back up shortly. I plan to return as quickly as I can!!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Actually Sam and Nonie, it s-n-o-w-e-d here in the Twin Cities a few days ago and it has been cold. Cold to us, freezing to you. That weather is moving east. It hit the Chicago area yesterday and unless it wears itself out should be to the east coast by the weekend. Right now it is 33deg. here to your 70deg. It is sunny, but Old Man Winter does not seem to want to let go this year.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Oh my. That does not sound good. We thought about heading up this weekend. Maybe not!!
Darn, I love being retired. You can come and go as your whims and the weather dictate.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

P.S. Purple will be fine Sam. Like this one?

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Yeah, baby! (said a la Austin Powers)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I just knew you would like it. ;)

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

It is a little low cut for me, but since it's a celebration, I'll live with it.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I just came back from a bike ride around my village. It was glorious. The smell of Confederate Jasmine and gardenias wafted through the air. The breeze made cycling a delight. Yep, I really, really like it here.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

You're lonely, you miss us, you want us all to come back. You're lonely, you miss us, you want us all to come back.

.....and you know what we all miss you too and Mr. Samhass, and TV and all the fun and now I am so depressed. Well, back to painting so I can get this monstrosity on the m-a-r-k-e-t! I would much rather have gone biking with you today.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I wish you had gone biking with me, too.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Aawwhhhh, now I'm really depressed. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/36_1_4-1.gif

Good news though...one bathroom done...2 to go.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I don't envy you painting Susan. I'm not a painter and give that job to Mr. Bright. However, Mr. Bright isn't real keen on painting anymore but does it under duress.

Anyway, I don't look good covered with paint smears all over my face, arms, and clothes. Home improvement shows on t.v. amaze me as I watch the painters complete a whole room with nary a drop of paint on their bodies. Wonder if they have multiple sets of identical clothing just to make us think they are perfect painters or if they really are!

Choosing between painting and going to work....think I'd pick work but better yet...would rather go on a bike ride with Sam.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I'm afraid in this family, if the construction/repair bits were left to Tom, they would never get done. He does do the electrical and plumbing when possible (minor stuff), the rest belongs to me. The tools in the garage...mine. The garage...mine.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

It is "unseasonably cold" here in Canada with frost expected tonight. Just watched everyone rocking on at LSL, and read Sammy's note about biking while smelling gardenias. Sob.

OK, so life isn't always fair and we don't always get what we want. >:( Regardless we should be happy every day, right?

That huge bar of chocolate that I'm planning to eat while huddled in my comforter in front of the fireplace watching American Idol should make me feel a lot better. 040 Neil Diamond is on tonight, should be a good one.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

We have a freeze coming tonight here in Michigan. Thought about going out and covering up all my hostas but decided not to. Just too many of them and they are cheap to buy if I need to replant.

Anyway...I'm wearing flannel pj bottoms and a long sleeved tee to keep warm....

but....I'm barefoot...just like Barefoot... ;D

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Me too, always...unless I am at work.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Not me. I must have shoes or sandals on. I'm never barefoot outside on the lawn. There are to many pesticides/herbicides and biting critters. Additionally, there could be construction debris under the grass that could cut you. Lastly, I'm sort of phobic about dirt getting on my feet. I should probably see someone about that. ;D When I see people walk in public places with no shoes on, I cringe. People spit and do all sorts of nasty things in public areas.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I remember the look of horror on your face when I grew out of my shoes and said "oh well I'll go barefoot". You are so cute Sammie. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/36_1_671.gif

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

OK Susan, you got me. Maybe I was afraid you would get your feet dirty in my house ;) and I would be ashamed forever.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I am so not buying that. Your house was and I'm sure is, always spotless. Besides I saw the dishpan hands on Mr. Sam. I do think you should get him some help...making him do all the housework like that, while you are out biking.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

OK...I cop to being a clean freak.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

S&T I want that picture for my avatar! Barefoot picture .. yes! Could you please e-mail it to me so I can struggle to put it on TOTV?

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

On its way but I might borrow it from time to time. ;D

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Our Barefoot should have the barefoot avatar. Oh Canadian friend, I wish you could come home.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Oh Sammy, I long for The Villages. :'( I miss you and wish you a safe trip and a snappy house sale!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Susan sent me two choices for a barefoot avatar .. thanks so much! I'm tired of hugging John Travolta, he is pretty boring. As you can see, I tried to install the barefoot avatar and got "a day at the lake" instead. I'll keep trying.
