What kind of flowers are you planting today? I need to put some in planters but with puppy around, I'm afraid they'd come back up!

It was almost so intriguing that I even thought about starting part 3 ...

allison... I have no idea what I planted. Some purple, some yellow...red...stuff like that. Some that fit my shady area, some that are good for full sun. I tried to gage how tall they'd grow and plant them from the middle down to the outside of the planters with the droopy type ones on the outside edge. If you want specifics, you'll have to go over to the landscape forum... I pick my flowers like I pick my horses (if I were a betting woman ;). Pretty colors and pretty names.

And that, my friends, is the extent of my plant knowledge. But for some reason, they end up looking pretty darn good until mid-August when I get bored of keeping them watered all the time.

No charge for that tidbit of information but I do accept donations.

(yawn)

If these boards get any slower, I'm going to go join Jason and greenbank in line at Space Mountain.

It's even confusing to me and I kinda know what's going on.

You're right, I like spelling it the wrong way too, so from here on out it's "ya'll"!!!

G.R.I.T.S.!! Allison

All I can say is Tupperware and Pampered Chef.

Only had one cup of coffee, though, so that could be it. Even though I almost spit it out when greenbanks said "news of his teacups"...too funny.

FWIW, the tupperware/pampered chef thing blew right past me too.

Tupperware and Pampered Chef? I'm in the "I don't get it" camp.

Notice I said you people instead of ya'll? If I can't do it the wrong way - which is the right way to me - then I won't do it at all. So there!

I can think of several - like "Expensive Power Tool Party", "Lamborghini Party", "Bass-Pro Shop Party", "Super High-end Electronics Party". The host could demo furniture making, high speed passes on the Auto-bahn, making the perfect cast for that big bass lying in the weeds, super-sizing your sound system.

Then we could all sit around, tell stories, drink beer, smoke cigars and try to think of a way to break the news that we spent $89K tonight over at Bob's house.

Oh, and if the "poster in question" only worked 7 hours a week she/he's probably a senator or representative. Or maybe a pr............. well never mind ........... bout the same as a senator or representative.

I was being catty.

Mizzou, you really had me thinking I was clever for a while, but, no, I see I was just being obtuse. I often have that problem in real life, too. I am giggling away and no one understands why....and I do it without even inhaling, too.

Who's on first.....

"To hijack back to the topic momentarily...
All I can say is Tupperware and Pampered Chef."

I don't see how this gets 'back to the topic' of "Can we get this done?" Maybe she belongs to a Tupperware/Pampered Chef cult. You know, like "if I say it, they will book a party?!" Personally, I like Rubbermaid products better than Tupperware. I spent WAY to much at the last Pampered Chef party I attend and I wasn't drunk/don't even like to cook!...SEE it IS a cult - they suck you in and you buy stuff you DO NOT NEED!

What thread are ya'll talking about "seven hour work week?"

P.S. I only work at our office 4 hours a week! :)

Nancy was getting back to the "ORIGINAL TOPIC" of which this thread is all about. So she really is talking about getting back to the first topic, not this topic. Back to the original (REAL) threads #1 and #2 which we laid to rest a few days ago. GET IT????

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

'drink the Koolaid child....'

I bet if greenbank were here, he'd explain it to me!

lol, houseful!

Any of you want to buy some land I've got for sale? It's a really good deal; but you have to hurry! It'll go fast....

It's the new improved posting style that intertwines several different threads into one big one. That way you don't have to really know what's going on, you just pick a thread, post ...well....whatever and then it goes from there. It's kind of like reading Shakespeare or Homer. You kinda think you know what's going on but then it gets so darn confusing that you don't care. Then you go get a beer. After a beer or twelve it all starts making perfect sense.

Hmmmm....speaking of beginning brain surgery, where's the cat hiding?

DH says that with all these people going to Disney, the sane among us should quit this Mickey Mouse operation and move to Blogger. Then you can say what you want without worry. It is free, no policeman. But also no topics to monitor or to start conversations with. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a place on blogspot.com or somewhere where these conversations could take place with the full contingent of comrades, those at Disney or not. It would give the Mickey Mouse Club folks a place to go if they had not developed e-mail relationships with THS people before they got their tickets punched.

BTW, DH says that I meant "arcane," not "obtuse". It is another one of my many malapropisms. He shakes his head at me sometimes, but he'd miss my crazy communication if I were gone!
