The Pampered Ladies Package Train

[dlee]

DMS54!!! I finally tried to crochet tonight and I'm completely stuck. =( I only figured out how to do my initial chain and that's it!!! any pointers?

[Peachykeen2007]

This is where I lost it and couldn't regain my laughter even though I knew it was coming, I have not laughed and cried so hard at the same time in a long time - THANKS slambert for making my day!!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHAT THE... !!!

I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

Note:
If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a Tazer,
one note of caution:

There is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor!
A three second burst would be considered conservative!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.

My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace.
· The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was.
· My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching..
· My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.
· I had no control over the drooling.
· Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone.
· I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair.
I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!

PS: My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it!

If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

So I am going to play with all my mail and chill this morning, today is the 23rd Anniversary of my dad's passing and in Stevenson tradition I am going to go do something for ME to remember him - getting my hair cut and foils put in. My mom and sis and I do something like this every year, many years I have been with them in BC but not the last couple.

Here is my dad, he was 43 when he passed....

A man who was taken way too early, but who lived his life to the fullest while he was here... I wish you could have seen your beautiful granddaughters, you would be so proud.

Eric Martin Stevenson June 23, 1946 - April 8, 1990.

Dad is gone but not forgotten;
And as dawns another year;
In our lonely hours of thinking;
Thoughts of him are always near.
Days of sadness will come o'er us;
Friends may think the wound is healed;
But they little know the sorrow;

We think of you in silence
and often speak your name,
But all that's left to answer
is your picture in a frame,
If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that would come true,
We would wish with all our hearts
for yesterday and you.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
We would walk to anywhere to be with you again.

thanks for the recipes Armygirl! I do a combination of these in my Nutribullet. I have been using a random combination each day of kale, swiss chard, spinach (spinach is so boring to me now) celery, beets, cuccumber, cilantro, ginger, fresh tumeric, lemon, blueberries, strawberries, goji berries, flaxseeds, coconut oil, aloe vera, pumpkin seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, raw cacao nibs, almond butter. I have so much energy now, my skin, hair and nails are fabulous, my DARK CIRCLES are GONE, my blood pressure is now NORMAL and I have lost about 35 pounds since November.

My eating habits have changed dramatically - with 2 big kids and DH who is a meat n potatoes kinda guy, fast food was my middle name. I don't even care for fast food anymore, I'd rather cook something at homw where I can control the salt and ingredients. My tastebuds have changed, I HATE pop now where before I used to drink several cans per day!

I actually miss it when I don't make a smoothie. I am always researching how to keep my liver detoxified and lemon, apples, pears and green drinks are the way to go. I have a diagonal cut from liver resection surgery I had in November which is from the middle of my chest to my right hip so recovery has been so slow. I have this "battle scar" to always remind me of my struggle but trying to always keep a smile on my face and be positive!

Bluz, I posted a hugs picture above but I don't see it. was trying to multi quote but I guess it didn't work. Well, sending you a big hug my dear. God bless!

[slambert]

OK Armygirl I finally got that page to load for the Beary Berry Honey place. OMGosh if you are my buddy I'd love some of this stuff. Hubby would go bat poop crazy for those glazes, especially the teriyaki and the chili garlic. I'm glad I'm not going with you because I'm sure I'd leave with one of everything!!

[slambert]

OMG cinnamon honey, strawberry honey...ORANGE FUDGE HONEY!! I'll be placing an order here after this train is over for sure thanks for sharing the link!

[julesie-pie]

Morning ladies! Looks like rainy day here going to attempt taking the girls to the indoor playground this morning, hopefully the rain won't be too heavy.

Sigh! Ontario has such boring and plain license plates lol

i know! Boo! I think we have one other for veterans with a poppy instead of the crown.

[Venuila]

Buddy question I am going to our local trade fair this weekend one of local companies is called very berry honey out of Tofield ( they have a website) they make the most amazing organic honey mixed with all sorts of fruits and spices http://www.bearyberryhoney.com/index.php

Buddy can I pick you up any?

The cinnamon honey looks good!

I just hate it sometimes! People try to undermind me, Ive had friends and family try and sneak him icecream and other things and I've freaked on them. I can tell them a million times but they think of me like a joke or something... They act like I deprive him of these thinga, but if he has never had them how the heck can he miss them?!?!?! So frustrating sometimes. I will start letting DS drink juice this summer though. I think. Lol.

I hate when people do this! My son is only 8 months and at Easter some wanted me to give him chocolate and pudding...?! "it won't hurt him if he has a taste"......ya, well, it won't hurt him either if he doesn't. My grandmother (bless her heart) is realllyyyyyy old school. And she drives me absolutely bonkers when telling me what I should/should not feed DS. At 3 months she wanted me to give him her chicken soup (which has a pound of salt in it btw) and regular milk....ahhhh. It gets really frustrating when other people try to undermind you or tell you you shouldn't be doing something that you are.
Anyhoo, kudos to you for the no sugar thing!!!! Like someone else said, I'd tell them to stuff it. They should respect your decisions no matter what they are.

[Venuila]

Wow, there's actually quite a few Ontario plates you can get on the MTO site. They're all just the plain old white background with the pic on the left side though (like Senators logo, Blue Jays logo, etc). Nothing I would pay more for though, hah.

OMG yes!

No beanie babies or candle stuff please

You guys stick to your guns with what you feed your kids! My boys don't get milk and people NEVER stop giving me a hard time about it. DS1's first grade teacher tried to get him to sign up for the school milk program behind my back. He told her point blank that he didn't want cow boobie milk. LMAO

[MrsSunshine]

up briefly, but now that kids are off, going back to bed for a bit. be in later.
