The Copper Creek Chit-Chat Thread

[stretchpants]

I love boys...

You wait, it gets to be more fun. I got a call from the scout leader when Ian was camping. Seems he only packed one pair of underwear for the weekend. I had to drive all the way up to the Poconos to bring him more. And socks too. Plus I got a speech from the scout leader. Apparently he wouldn't have known about the one pair of underwear if it wasn't for Ian instigating a "mud bath" for himself and several other scouts. <sigh>

 

[stretchpants]

Is that Stretchy? Why aren't you calling her Stretchy?

Wow, he packed a pair? Mine wouldn't have.

The little banty peep looks blue, she's so cute.

You were hit by a car? and you're breathing??

Yup, I was on my bike at the time. If it wasn't for my helmet, I wouldn't still be breathing.

But I had a broken kneecap and a nasty back injury, so for 3 months I couldn't do much besides lie on the couch and move very slowly (it was excruciating to pick up the coffee pot to pour a cup). Andy took me to all my Dr's appointments and PT visits, plus did grocery shopping and laundry and lots of other stuff. Never once lost his patience or fussed at me.

Exactly....I took care of my Dad and Grandma. It's their turn.(Not Dad and Grandma) they're dead.I didn't do it.My Grandma had a heart condition my dad had (imagine this) lung cancer.I meant the kids better have a house with a guest suite.Yes a suite not a room.

The house Ian is renting has a MIL suite in the basement. It has a complete kitchen and everything. Only problem is right now, it's his mancave.

 

[stretchpants]

Wow. I'm so glad you lived through that. There is a special place in heaven for boys who treat their mothers with love. You're very lucky.

I ordered it, just waiting for her to arrive.

 

[violetvoo]

Dinner? Oh nuts.

Yep. I fed the kids and forgot to get something made for myself. I didnt want a pizza, but its in the oven anyway. Nothing else is thawed out ready to cook.

Well he can leave my chapter out...

You kiddin' me? Thats gonna be the best part!

Did ya check the gasoline? Just sayin...

Yes i sure did. The spark plug had gas on it, which means gas is getting all the way to the combustion chamber. The only thing I can figure is that the magneto is firing at the wrong point in the compression cycle.

Evening all!
Drott, the pen looks great!!
What was supposed to be a day of cleaning out the garage turned into a day watching documentaries about the Titanic.
There's always tomorrow!

 

[FlyingV]

Hi Ase! Documentaries always win over cleaning anything. The Titanic is fascinating. I just watched one where they took the little sub thing in, and you could even see the tiles in the spa. It's amazing how well preserved it is.

 

[Bamrz]

OMG! It's supposed to get up to 88F tomorrow! That is truly going to suck, because it's tax deadline day and it gets really hot up at the counter. Maybe I can find a small fan to take in...

 

[efirdj]

I think Im gonna head to bed now. Hope the posse has a good night!!!

 

[orkira]

That stinks Bamrz. Hopefully you can find that fan. I hate warm weather.

Good Night James.

Good Evening Posse.

 

[FlyingV]

Night James, see you tomorrow!

Bamrz, for an instant I was excited about the 88F for you. But, um, not so much now. yuck. Send the 88F here please.....

 

[FlyingV]

Hi Okra! Hope you are having a non-itchy evening.

 

[orkira]

Hi Okra! Hope you are having a non-itchy evening.

Hi V! I am. They don't itch anymore. The steroids worked. How are you doing tonight?

Good night James!

Hi Okra! I don't mind warm weather at all, but it gets at least 5-10 degrees warmer at the counter than anywhere else in the building. We have these huge windows that face the sun all afternoon, which is great in the winter, but not so much when it gets above about 70.

Oh well, I think I have a small fan in the garage, I'll just strap it onto the bike in the morning.
