Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 
Someone suggested we start this thread. Maybe we already have happy talk in the feminine forum, but another thread that can be hijacked at will won't be a bad thing. So have at it.
Chat, hijack, laugh. ;D :welcome:

We will be there at Crispers and being the newbies, we are trying to do everything right. NONE of us brought a red anything to wear, and we are all a decided shade of blue, just tried eating lunch on the screen porch and and my roast beef sandwich just about blew off my plate. I think it may snow.

My spouse, AKA Sweetie is out on the Palmer wearing everything he owns. Do you have those great big dogs with the casks?

Hey Sam,

Thanks for the invite.

Sometimes it is just plain fun to have somewhere with a lot of things going on all at once.

I am goofing off, waiting for Mr. Boomer to finish mowing so we can run away together.

I had planned to work in the yard, but Spring just can't make up her mind whether she is here to stay or not. Usually by now, I have been able to do my Red Queen Routine and run out into the yard with the pruning shears while I shout, "Off With Their Heads," and go after the Knockout roses. It is just too cold out there -- still.

But at least the grass is now officially green. And Mr. B can be out there with his beloved ZTR. It is just like that commercial that is running on television right now with the guys all firing up their mowers. We all live on acre lots so they ride usually.

Sometimes Mr. Boomer mows for the neighbors, too, just for fun, and it always makes them happy when they get home from work to find a perfectly mowed yard. They all still work. We are the only geezers. The early retirees. The slackers. But our younger neighbors have said that they will watch out for our house when we finally get to spend some time in Florida. So it all works out.

Mr. Boomer loves to mow grass. I don't even know how. So that is happy talk, too.

So there's my contribution for the Happy Hijacker. Thanks.

Enjoy your day out there in TOTVland.

Boomer

My significant other is my dog Sport. He would probably get a little bored with the talk at TOTV as it would not be about how other dogs' butts smell and whether or not he has missed marking such and such a spot as his territory. :joke:

JohnnyM 04-16-2008 07:09 PM

Re: Misc Happy Talk/Hijack Heaven
 
Thanks Sam, another great idea for our TOTV chatfolk. BTW, we had two perspective buyers here today. One we knew was coming as we were called yesterday; the other called this morning from a different realtor to say they too wanted to see the house . They missed each other by minutes. It seemed they both liked what they had seen. Barbara and I later ran into the real estate agent at Genuardi's who brought one of the couples to our home. She said they liked our house the best, but who knows. At least they are coming out to look now. So all of you "hope to sell our house soon" people hang on. Thanks again Sam for a post where we can vent and share.....Johnny

Johnny, We'll keep our fingers crossed for you and everyone that wishes to be here full time.
May the force be with you all.

Just Susan 04-16-2008 10:49 PM

Re: Misc Happy Talk/Hijack Heaven
 
Fingers are tightly crossed for you J&B. You belong in TV.

Sam I am so glad you put up this thread. I have a really hard time with the lineal thinking required to stay on topic...I guess I get bored quickly, besides the topic lasts longer when we can vary the content. Example Girl Talk, it is still going and I bet this one will too. :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:

Re: Misc Happy Talk/Hijack Heaven
 
I'm happy tonight because my daughter only has a kidney infection and not appendicitis as the hospital thought at 5am this morning. She's spending the night there but that's okay. She's being waited on hand and foot, having her dinner served to her in bed, and getting some rest with the help of morphine.

She's coming home tomorrow but I took the rest of the week off from school. Why? So I could watch her 2 little boys (ages 2 and almost 4) and spoil them rotten while they are here at Tamma and Bubba's (that's what they call us) house. We decided to let her go home to a quiet house without having to worry about taking care of the little sweethearts. Not sure if her husband will wait on her like the nurses at the hospital, though!

Well, better get back downstairs. I hear the boys "fighting" over toys and I think Bubba needs my help.

Re: Misc Happy Talk/Hijack Heaven
 
From no small about of research, I have learned the secret to that phenomenon of which Taltarzac speaks, dogs smelling each others butts.

It is a dog's way of determining what meal the other dog has enjoyed. It's like asking, "Hey! How's the food over at your place."

Perhaps it would help to think of it as our equivalent to a restaurant review.

Hey, sorry we'll be missing you guys at Crispers day after tomorrow; we're already back up north 'dealing' with everything here. Will be back in June and in the meantime hope to do a lot of laughing! '-)

Speaking of dog butt smelling, our neighbor's dog recently smelled my husband's butt, then mine. Our neighbor said its just his doggie way of saying "hello". That made us feel pretty special!

Hey guys..Hope you have a great time at the luncheon..I am missing another one..

It was suggested that we change the name of this thread. I thought it was a great idea.
Thanks, Johnny! We now have more to chat about.

samhass 04-17-2008 04:48 PM

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 
Rhonda, I would be so thrilled if my Grands were an hour away. You are so lucky!!!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 
I have a couple of folks on the way over to look at the house. I was playing tennis (70 today in NJ) all morning and missed the cell phone call. Came home and heard the message. Called and the realtor said they would be here in thirty minutes. Barbara had tickets to The View in NYC from her daughter. She left 6am, but she left everything in order. Just had to make the bed. Lot's more people out and around looking at homes. That's a positive sign.

Thanks Sam for the chance to get excited about cleaning the house. Boy I love this thread. Johnny......................... (I'd better go vacuum) ;)

Ok they are gone. A few compliments and out the door. At least we have traffic!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 
Wonderful topic Sam, thankyou for starting it!

OK, I am really sad. I have spent 3 incredible, happy, fun months in TV. I must admit it seems more like only 3 weeks. The time has gone by way too fast and the thought of leaving is tearing me up.

I know Ill be back, not sure when ,but I am in total amazement at the wonderful, terrific people I have met in just this short time. Frienships that I will treasure forever.

Im not one to complain, especially in a public forum like this but damn Im sad!!!

For the first time since I was a little kid, I feel like Im home again.
A HUGE thankyou to everyone who made me feel so welcome here, you know who you are, and I am so grateful for your friendship. :'(

Donna, get the prozac drip ready for me, Ill be passing thru the Poconos real soon!

Noni...We can be miserable together till we go back..http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...crysmiley1.gif

Valium drip ready.... :bigthumbsup:

renielarson 04-17-2008 05:44 PM

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 
Samhass I have the best of both worlds. Here in Michigan my 2 grands live 8 miles away. In Florida, my other grand lives 11 miles away.

I've had the 2 and 3 1/2 year olds for 24 hours now...another 24 to go but more likely 48. My daughter came home from the hospital today but called crying because of all the pain she was in. I'm so glad we can help her by watching the boys so she can rest and get well again.

After the boys go home, I'm going to need my rest! Whew, are they an active pair!

renielarson 04-17-2008 05:45 PM

Donna and Nonie

May I join you ???


JohnnyM 04-17-2008 05:49 PM

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 
If this house doesn't sell soon I will need an IV drip and someone yelling "Clear" "Clear" as they work the paddles! ??? ??? ???

nONIE 04-17-2008 05:50 PM

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 
Absolutely! Donna group hug please!!!

redwitch 04-17-2008 06:00 PM

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 
Sniff. The idea of you guys not being here is just so sad. I keep trying to convince myself Donna is still here and I'll be seeing her at Crisper's. Ditto the Bucket and Sid. The idea of Nonie leaving is just unbearable. You guys have got to find a way to be here permanently.

Bright, so sorry about your daughter. UTIs are so dang nasty and painful. Hope she feels better soon and glad you're having with your grandboys. "Tamma" is such a cute name. I love it!

Johnny, your house will sell very, very soon. I just know it will and everyone knows a wrong witch is not a happy witch and an unhappy witch is not someone to muck with.

SamH, thanks for starting this thread. We can all have fun without worrying about the :cop:

In the meantime,

HUGS HUGS HUGS

Hi Everyone,

Sam thank you for starting this thread - :cop:can take a long overdue vacation.

As I sit here and read the thread - Nonie you really summed up my feelings. Thank you. I miss all of you. You are all :#1: in my book. As I read what everyone wrote I realize I miss you more and more.

I need a Sistah ((((((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))))))))) and I send one to all of you.

Thank you all for sharing part of your life with me, I feel so fortunate. You are very special people.

For those who can't wait to sell I hope you sell quickly.

Looks like most of the 'regulars' won't be there for my preview week.

On Tuesday the 29th Linda B and I will be on the Cane Garden patio (assuming the weather's nice) enjoying a lunch at 1:00. We have a pickleball lesson at 10:00 that same day so don't judge our tired appearance!

If you'd like to stop by and let me buy you a cool drink or something please do so. You know what i look like from my avatars - just squint real hard and think Billy Bob Thorton.
