It has been a little on the warm side that is for sure. It was 102 when I was driving home yesterday at 4 pm.

You are right, I need to be in the Caribbean to get out of this heat. What a wonderful idea.......

[Conspiracy Guy]

Hi have you caught up yet?

[Argh]

102 is too much!

What a wonderful idea.......

I get occasional wonderful ideas, but most of them aren't postable on a squeaky-clean family oriented site like FR. :^)

[Gabz]

Stay that way - you will be better off!!!

[Gabz]

On one of the Kobe threads.

[honeygrl]

"Wooooohoooooo! I didn't get sucked in. I am safe! "

Keep reading.. we'll suck you in eventually!!!! :-P

[honeygrl]

"Enjoy your weekend and don't worry about feeling bad if he gets you the gameboy!!!!! "

Thanks! lol, I will feel bad if he still does though. Those things are $90 and the games are like $25 each atleast! (to us that is a lot of money)

[SeaDragon]

I thought it to be a little too toasty.....

You can post anything you like sweetness, you know we don't mind.

[honeygrl]

"I've been dealing with dear old cinnie on the smoking threads far to long to get too bent outta shape of it!!!"

I made the person a bit annoyed by stating that I would no longer respond to any of their posts even to defend myself and have stuck by it. That was when I got followed to the WFTD thread from day before yesterday telling me to get a life. The person also started questioning my parenting abilities based on my time online here at FR. Apparently, good parents don't chat online while their kids play.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Found him

[Gabz]

I understand about the $ thing.

Because my husband works on Sunday my idea of the perfect mother's day gift is to spend saturday surf fishing with him in charge of the little one for the day!!! No cost involved except for the picnic and beer - which we would have spent on a saturday anyway!!!

[Gabz]

be careful of him on the smoking threads if he has already attacked your parenting. (The rest of us will be there for you)

I wish I had seen him on the WFTD thread - it would not have been pretty.

[Laura Earl]

Yep...I'm here

[Laura Earl]

I ain't going there!

[Laura Earl]

Not gonna be sucked in to this one!

[Gabz]

LOL!!!

We have nearly succeed in taking over the Kobe thread!!!!!!!!!!

cinnie and the flyboy don't have a chance!!!!!!!

[Gabz]

[secret garden]
