JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD #17 6/21/10 - 7/08/10

[no rose colored glasses]

Thanks for the recipe Northern, now with the mention of banana cream pie, I want some today.

I second that - thank you!  I love banana cream pie.  I am going to have to raid the vending machines now I am hungry, wish they had pie in there.

Pie would be pretty messy come down out the chute.   I am not sure I would want to eat a pie out of a vending machine.  When we go for vacation we go to out of the way eclectic places.  We drove one year to a salt water lake in Saskatchewan a few years back.  Hubby has a real sweet tooth so hit the vending machines in the lobby of where we were staying first night.  He got rice crispy squares and an assortment of chocolate bars, almost chipped a tooth on the rice crispy square.  After further inspection the best before date on them had passed two years prior.  Now I check all dates on stuff that comes out of vending machines.  That was the same year he ran over a bird in a bird sanctuary.

OMG, I don't mean to laugh none of that is funny, it just sounds like our vacations  LOL  I never thought about checking dates on vending machine products, but I'm seldom near a vending machine. Oh he must have felt terrible running over that bird.

Northern I am taking your info about painting the bird houses, and am going to use random things to put on them. That sounds cool and fun.

I love the way ours turned out especially the ones that we used leaves and grasses, your fingers get pretty messy though as you hold the leaves on while you spray paint over.  If I was to do it again I would get some glue dots to hold down the items and then spray. 

So the Queen comes today for a visit to Canada and they just said that she does not need a passport to travel as she is the one that issues the passports.  I guess no strip searches for her either?  She is mostly staying in the east except for one day in Winnipeg I believe.  After we paid 1billion for security for the G20 I am curious how much her trip is costing us as we get to foot the bill I am sure. 

It will cost you all a bundle, no doubt about that. And I can't even get started about these summits, when are they going to learn, that these summits attract violent people, and why the he!! don't they have these summits over the computer? They have such great technology today I see no reason why this can't be done. Big companies do this, why can't they?

1 Billion in security, damage to stores and streets is heart breaking.  None of the 1 billion is to help with the repairs, mayor of Toronto was on the news last night and said that the city of Toronto is not paying to fix the damages of the businesses as that is up to the business owners and their insurance.  A few business owners were interviewed this morning and found out from their insurance companies that they are not covered for riots so they are on their own to pay for the fixes and both said they can not afford it and will have to close their businesses,  How sad.

Not as bad as the one we found plastered to the grill of the van as we were going into the wetlands interpretive centre and the tour bus of seniors were staring at it.

It is extremely sad, and this crap happens every single time, this all makes me sick, when are they going to figure out another way to do these summits. Violence just for the sake of violence.

Oh Northern, I can just imagine the bus full of seniors staring. I swear this kind of stuff happens to us also.

Some of the stuff that has happened while on vacation would not even happen to the Griswold's. 

Friends used to have a cabin right on the shores of Kootenay lake in BC.  We borrowed it one summer and it had to be the summer that there was forrest fires that surrounded the area right after we got there, we had to leave early as hubby is really allergic to smoke and could not breath.  As we were leaving the hot ashes were raining down from the sky and setting the clear coat on the vehicle we were driving on fire.  We always rent a vehicle when we go on vacation rather than taking one of ours, and the rental company always puts it up for auction when we are done with it.  The cabin slid into the lake a few months later after heavy rains and mud slides.

Where in the world is JSM?I wonder if she got up late,or maybe she didn't come home..................(insert mystery music)

[theboyzmom]

Hi Brandi, I could scream when the fridge and freezer door opens, and decisions, decisions are made about what to get out of there, doesn't take a couple minutes to figure it out, but it seems to.

LOL at you, Brandi and GreenEyes about this subject.  My husband does the same thing and it drives me crazy, when you open the fridge aren't you going in there for something?  Nooooo they just stand there and stare meanwhile letting all the cold air flow out.

I got booted so it may take me a while to catch up and I am going to do it as efficiently as possible lol.

Our new refrig beeps after a period of time being left open - lets me know when to yell at them!

The bird on the grill was a memorable one.  Somewhere there are seniors that have pictures of it in their scrap books.  When hubby realized what had happened he asked if we had a old towel or blanket that he could use to take the bird off.  Ya right, so I asked my daughter if she had a shirt along she did not like and would not miss.  Her comment was something along the lines of first dad kills it and now he is going to dress it in my clothes?  I threw hubby a shirt and walked away from the van with the kids as hubby dealt with it and the seniors were taking pictures.

Maybe she is having a lazy morning with a boy toy serving her brekkie in bed?

I didn't realize I was killing two birds with one stone  LOL  Wish you had more pain meds, sorry. I know what you mean though, takes several days to get back to normal, my irritable bowel also, I have had a bout since Friday and finally today it is starting to feel better. Maybe the doctor will refill your prescription?

Washer in done, I have to go get the laundry hung and then do some storm clean up.  Hope everyone has a a good  day.

Good night cookie, I'm sure you are exhausted.  I wrote that letter to my neighbor last week about keeping her cat out of my yard and garage. And the biggest thing I pointed out to her was all the coyotes by us. When they are real hungry it is not unusual for them to come into the neighborhood even in the daylight hours. I thought she got the idea because the cat hasn't been around for a couple days. The cat is back again this afternoon and tonight. I don't want her killing the birds I feed, and I sure don't want her to be killed by a coyote. So many cats have been killed around here because people are stuck on stupid and don't grasp this. I will write her another note, and this time I will not be as friendly, I'm so frustrated with some of these neighbors that just don't think. I feel like the nasty old lady in the neighborhood  LOL  but darn it, we have an association and nobody seems to want to follow the rules. That happens to be one of the rules with the cat. I'm going to lay down and watch TV, I have myself all worked up again. Hope everyone has a good night.

I think it is nice that you care enough to write them a letter even if they think you are being cranky - who cares.  It is that or possibly lose their cat.  LOL at your stuck on stupid comment.

I could be wrong but I think she is coming home today. At least that is what she did the first trip to Chicago. We want pictures JSM  LOL
