so there is this person in the VJ OT who seems to have a very bizarre opinion of me ..lol

a few months ago he called me ghetto ..lol I am assuming because I am married to an Hispanic... :P and then today he made a comment about me that included the phrase "the likes of Marilyn"

I just find it all very amusing :lol:

i didn't mean to offend you. :innocent:

Congratulations, Sprailenes! Excellent news :) :)


Joe got called a year ago for Federal jury duty as well. His duty period was for 2 weeks. He called in every night the first week and didn't have to report - he wasn't so fortunate the second week. He had to go in and was selected and they started to hear the case that day. I was concerned it would be something like murder or drugs or something horrific but it turned out to be a construction contract dispute between a sub-contractor and the contractor. It actually lasted 2 weeks and Joe enjoyed the experience. hehe, they ended up finding both parties guilty of violation of contract so while each were expecting a windfall at the expense of the other party, the 'settlements' virtually cancelled each other out.

i had federal jury duty about 9 months ago - but was dismissed when i asked if the guy being tried was busted as a result of the same sting that also busted a guy at work :lol:
the answer turned out to be yes.


congrats to my favorite seal thumper for the house! :dance:

Aparently, we had an earthquake last night. It was quite minor though. I didn't even wake up, neither did Mel. I still remember her first earthquake experience. It was a small one, but the epicenter was closer to us so you could feel it stronger. She woke up and kept saying "Did a truck just hit our apartment building?". I had to be snide and responded "yes, a truck hit us, and backed up and did it again 20 more times in the span of 30 seconds". :lol:

you must have a comfy couch :rofl:

i thought canadians were crazy about hockey. it turns out, i was wrong....

last night while watching trutv, there was a clip about ultimate hockey. it's played under the ice! two guys put on wetsuits, wear no scuba gear, and the puck floats - so it's on the underside of the ice. and the two guys battle back and forth to get the puck into the net of the opposing player. again, there is no scuba gear.....

finland won, was unable to hear who else was playing.

So my husband's in the NRA and every year they give away a bunch of guns.
The grand prize is 19 guns.

Who the heck needs 19 guns? :lol:

Funny how the spouses "tend to forget" to mention things...like the fact there are diamond back rattlesnakes in this area! :blink: We saw a *thankfully* dead one in a parking lot the other day...

i bet no one told you about brown recluses either. :whistle:

Finally got my 10 year green card!!

It's one of the new ones. The envelope is lined with silver and it says: "To prevent wireless communication with your card please keep it in this sleeve"

So it's like my card is wearing a tin-foil hat. :lol:


Damn I should have asked them to get my good side... my picture looks rough. :P

sounds like one of these

keeping your cards in them seems to be a good idea nowadays.

My husband and I were just discussing this the other day. I don't mind him doing the laundry, but I find I have so many finicky items myself (like delicate sweaters that go in a bag, or something I was remembering had a grease spot from lunch on Weds) that it's just easier if I do it.

His laundry is always easier...sorts, washes and can dry virtually everything he owns. I hang most of mine to dry on a rack and then fluff in the drier when done.

I will also do it on Sat morning as early as possible to get it out of the way (ooooh let's see what time it is now...5:52am)


Being up that early on a Sat to do laundry is just wrong in soooo many ways!!!! laughing.gif

doing laundry is a code phrase for something else on vj than what i think ya'll are talking about. innocent.gif

My vent:


Someone at my husband's work gave an ex-worker our home number without asking us (this is also against site policy due to privacy laws). This person has called us twice now - the first time I answered since I didn't recognize the number and thought it might've been one of my husband's supervisors calling. This person called again today and left a message saying some very strange things including, "it would be good to hear your voice." This man is in his 60's and quite a weirdo. I really want to find out who gave out our number.

It might have been the disembodied voice of your Mom's Ram Air IV Firebird. tongue.gif Actually I'm just kidding, this is a very serious matter. Who is this ex-worker and what is his relationship to you? Do you know him? Was DH his supervisor? I hope this guy is harmless and just lonely but you never can tell. Does he know where you live?

internet reverse lookups can give the answer to that real quick. even unlisted numbers (i ran it on my own unlisted number back in '02).

Why, do you want to meet her? laughing.gif She better not be getting into anything else! Crazy 70 year old lady getting on FB. Then again, that's probably what my son's friends say about me - crazy 39 year old lady getting on FB. I can't wait until she sees my brother's page. I will no longer be the black sheep! innocent.gif

i'm always wanting more mafia or pirates crew.

Yes. With me. sad.gif

I'm still hopeful that I can convince him to leave on Wednesday. I hope. I know that it's his family and that he misses them as much as I do mine, so I'm not going to be a witch about it. I just wish I didn't hate it there so much. sad.gif

That's interesting. I don't really know how someone could really MEET someone playing online poker... I've played online poker for years, and the "chats" in there are usually incredibly terse, like "nh" for "nice hand" etc.

Maybe she said "I'll raise you" and it went from there. tongue.gif

or she had a good hand.

poprocks - sounds like a cat that is bored. 1 - put the toilet paper on flap under instead of flap under. 2 - get another cat to keep the first one occupied.
