Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
She is so thin now she looks anorexic. She is as thin as a middle school girl....not a 30 something. We are all worried about her. I don’t see it as her fault at all. She has been nagging the doctors to fix this and no answers.
is there anyone locally whom she works with or who helps her out who can go in her stead?
Swedish fish jellybeans? They combined two of my favorite food groups.
The simple answer is for my daughter’s future SIL to step up and do it, though she does not want to, she can save the day...problem is his family drama now. She is a photographer, too. She did the engagement photos.
xsteen’s inlaws were in town last weekend [the flyers fans] and were telling the story of how they were taking the train up to NYC for a work function and were at the Princeton station [I think?] and there was a guy there in a Rangers jersey and xsFIL said something like, oh that’s right you guys have a game tonight. and the guy said somewhat menacingly, are you Penguins fans? and he shook his head no and said, nah, Flyers. and the guy said C’MERE.... and xsMIL said, hey be sure and pummel that little puss Crosby tonight and the Ranger fan relaxed somewhat and said, aw, so you hate him too? LOL! de-fusing of the rabid rainja fan complete!
had never seen them before, but he pronounced them spectacularly good.
oh that’s right. but it is hard for a family member to do them bc they will not be able to enjoy the wedding themselves and be present in the moment for it, I can understand her not wanting to.
Nothing bonds people together like mutual hatred.
The Rangers are a good team, but it is sooo frustrating to keep losing one-goal games. Being blown out would not be as emotional.
The Penguins need some youth and stamina. They can’t go 60 minutes at a playoff pace. Other games they started slow. Last night, they finished slow.
Apparently, from DK, no one’s getting fired either. Did you read him last night? He made this column free for all.
no I didn’t see that. xshub says the Penguins have NOT been playing badly, so he doesn’t see the need for a bloodbath firing, they are just losing the close ones.
Yep. They are giving it their all, but it isn’t enough. No lucky bounces, either.
DK says they have a good core, but need some health on D and some fresh young legs.
Rutherford did hamstring himself on salary cap, which is the major complaint on him going back to his time at Carolina.
xsinlaws at the last Flyers game went and bought a bunch of Flyers BABY stuff for xsgrandbabytobe [hugely discounted obv since their season was over!], and xsMIL mentioned how the mother of the baby was a Caps fan. the vendor said, could be worse, she could be a Pen fan. so yeah the mutual hatred runs a lot of diff ways. and so yeah, last Friday, xsbaby and I went to Kettler for Caps practice and autograph session afterwards [xsbaby got her pic with fave player Tom Wilson and was on cloud 9] and I did feel compelled to go in the store and buy a FULL PRICE caps onesie [bc we ARE still alive at this point], bc I was going to be d@mned that he not have any caps stuff with that crapload of flyers stuff arriving later that day ; )
I understand that, too. I did meet this sister and she is a sweetheart. I am sure she will agree, reluctantly. I hate that we even have to ask, though.
if push comes to shove I bet she won’t let you down. But Kate doesn’t need to go out as early as you guys are going just to shoot the wedding, so there’s still time for her to be released and hopefully feeling better.
I think you have to raise the baby to be respectful and let him make his own decision. ;-)
She flies out Wednesday, starts work Thursday night for rehearsal dinner, then the pre-wedding, wedding Friday, then they are off for a short vacation up the coast to San Francisco. They fly back on Monday. Except for the day and a half of taking pics, she can rest??? She has her friend Allison coming, who had invested in her own ticket out. She won’t let us down unless they ground her, I imagine.
of course. I mean xsboy is a Preds fan, go figure!
Pretty! I love the colour.
Oh Lord -is Hillary back to the headbands???
