Tell them Grandmother is not there, and they don't HAVE to eat it!
I sent the link to Sir SuziQ to let him know so he can tell the kids!
Check out the link in post #43958.
Here's something... 21st Century Bag End (Hobbit hole design you can build from stormdrains!)
I'll have to check out the DVD again, that song escaped me. And when I catch it I can copy it from the DVD and burn it with my TTT mp3's
Glad you're okay.
I'm sorry....what were we talking about?
Hubby and I made the decision last night at Best Buy. We ended up with an eMachine (IBM) with 1.8GH Intel Celeron processor, 128MB RAM, 40GB HD, CD-RW and DVD-Rom. After I turn in the rebates we'll have paid only $500 for it, including an all-in-one color printer (copier & scanner) from Lexmark (I know they are junk, but we won't put much strain on it).
Couldn't post last night since I was setting up the system and creating an e-mail for Glen. Then, of course, I had to turn everything off and show him step by step how to get online.
I tested the DVD Rom by playing LoTR on it - works great. I haven't checked out the goodies yet, but I will sometime this weekend.
Got to go get ready for work so I'll post later. I just wanted to share my happy news with everyone. :)
Now I'll be able to visit the Hobbit Hole at night and over the weekend - if I get the time, that is.
Who am I kidding? I'll MAKE the time!
2JM - I'm beginning to agree with you. I think you're right in the fact that I was trying to be hoodwinked. I just don't know what goes through people's minds anymore. What were they thinking? That I wouldn't notice? That I'd be ok with making as much as I am now? Nonono...I'm leaving my present company to MOVE FORWARD...not stay lateral.
I was sort of depressed yesterday because of it, and still am in a small way. But, when Autumn woke up this morning and shreiked "SNOW, SNOW! Daddy! Oh WOW we gots snow! Can't believe it!" it made everything a lot better. This is the first snow of the season, and she hasn't left the bay window yet...not even when The Wiggles came on TV...and that's rare for her. She's going on about "Make snowballs! 'Mon Daddy...let's make snowballs!" lol...how can I say no to her?!
So, despite the fact that it's still early, and the snow hasn't stopped yet...we're going to let Mommy sleep for a while, and head outside to play.
I'm out of here. Gonna try to get some yard work done, then dentist appointment, then pick up one vehicle from the garage (serviced to keep the warranty), then drop off another (I have no signal lights and I can't find it this time), drop off the dog at the doggie spa, then head to North Carolina. Will be back sometime on Friday when we hope to put up decorations (at least the outside ones), then rehearsals...we open a week from tonite, so from Friday on, we'll be there every day (except for the second M,T,W) until the 15th...then there's something happening on the 18th....but I can't put my finger on it right now. Oh well, it'll come to me...
Happy Thanksgiving!
