i was afraid of that, tx, that the shade was too light, i know i looked pale all day with it on.

i am laughing at your boys. they are as bad as argh, thinking that if you are wearing makeup something must be up.

[xsmommy]

don't worry, vast, you will be pinged to any pudding wrestling that may go on....

[RikaStrom]

Did you at least buy something to get the goody bag? There was a nice lipstick in that. More browny type color. ;-)

[VRWCmember]

btw, did someone leave the lounge television on the Lifetime Channel or something? Or maybe this is Twilight Zone Tuesday and WFTD has transformed into The View?

[xsmommy]

i got the COQUETTE as the freebie, did you get something else for that?

[xsmommy]

thank GOD that hobbes is gone for the day or i would be hearing the endless diatribe about the eunuch xspup and the View....

[VRWCmember]

did you like my "purse privacy zone violation" story at post #197? It's a true story.

[RikaStrom]

I bought Coquette and got Amande Sucree as the freebee.

[xsmommy]

it was hysterical and something i could see happening to me....

[VRWCmember]

that was one of only a few times I have laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.

I haven't heard that she definitely is, but I'm willing to bet money that she will be there in all her _______. She can't let all those fire and police officers get all the glory. She must allow the her adoring public the opportunity to see the queen.

BTW the Grand Marshall for the parade this year is David McDonald from Clovis California. He owns Pelco, a security camera company that had the contract for the WTC. He hosted a huge thank you to WTC heroes. He footed the bill to pay for two jets to fly the WTC heroes and families to Clovis CA for a memorial service. He paid for their hotel rooms, bus service and hosted a catered diner at his house. They spent 4 days in California as his guest.

At the memorial service they laid a white rose on a white chair for every service person killed on 9-11. The memorial service lasted for about 2 hours and ended with a huge fireworks display. We in the community figured that he spend around 1 million for the whole thing.

He is very generous to the community and to his employees.

[RikaStrom]

Ok gang, I have had just about as much fun as I can stand today. I will see everyone tomorrow.

[CholeraJoe]

So how's the boy? And what's your take on the Yates verdict, xs?

[xsmommy]

the boy is sick. he had to have a nebulizer treatment at the dr. ofc and has a prescription for prednisolone. his father is out searching for the nebulizer that the pharmacy did not have in stock. home for 2 days. : (

[CholeraJoe]

Ouch. Not good. Kudos to the school nurse, though for picking it up.

[xsmommy]

yes, really. i sort of got the 3d degree from the ofc nurse at the dr's ofc about how long he had the cough, whether he had a fever etc. i said, listen, i don't haul my kids to the dr. for a sniffle, i would have just given him some cough medicine at bedtime, but the school nurse is the one that said he didn't sound good and that he should be seen. The doc there said kids could be hospitalized for this, if untreated. i am very grateful she caught it.

I'd have thought that animadversion was a method of advertising
using animation. And I'm adverse to that whole concept.
Darn that Joe Camel!

[xsmommy]

i am happy with the Yates verdict provided that the scumbag husband gets something for this too. he dang well better not be able to get out of this unscathed. in my opinion he bears beaucoups responsibility for their deaths!

[TxBec]

they already have a verdict? I heard they recessed to deliberate

[CholeraJoe]

he bears beaucoups responsibility for their deaths!

I agree but what will they charge him with? Child endangerment?
