10 minutes away is convenient.
A timesaver i used when moving was to not take contents out of drawers and pack them in boxes. Just take the drawers out of the dresser, etc. and use the drawer itself as the box. Put a towel on top and kinda tuck it around the contents to keep them contained. Aren't boxes sometimes hard to find since stores break them down now?
you're doing it just right. you can play with us anytime, okay?
I know a good place to get all the banana boxes you want? Banana boxes are good for moving, don't you think?

I am not planning on taking all of the junk with me. If it hasn't been wore or used in 6 months, it is outta here. Do ya'll think that is a good idea?
Like, do the yard sale thing. That's a good idea, right?

Only for clothes.
do you like Loaves and Fishes for getting rid of clothes you don't wear?
allysmom, is it nice to have a new start?
i've never had one...is a new house nice?
I've never had a new house either, is the rain over with?
it rained?
Yeah it did a little about 430 this morning. are you saying it didn't rain where you are?
dry deck, dry street and dry steps mean no rain, right?
do you want me to order you some rain?
only for the deck and street, none for the grass. if it rains on the grass wouldn't i have to cut it again?
If it don't rain, wont you still mow it?

Nope, we have an Aunt with tons and tons of kids and grand and great grand kids, we take anything that is not junk to her and all of them have a field day. What they do not want, she takes to her Church. That is nice of her don't you think?

New start yes, going to be out in the boonies more than we are now, new house pmt. scares the H*** out of me,lol. Anybody else build a new house and their house pmt. is going to be about 4 times what they are paying for their current place?

could you please????

why would i if it doesn't grow?
Giving to a family that needs the stuff is much better than giving to a store. 4X as much payment for the new house? that is scary. My house 59 years old, but isn't it good when payments are less that $300. a month?
allysmom (Guest)
That new house pmt. is very scary, where we live now is 17 yrs. old and is almost paid for, but we wanted to live on some land we have owned that has been in the family for years. We are having to borrow extra money to finish, we could not build it for what the bank man said we could, anyone else had that problem?
i don't know anything about building a housse...is that common problem?
bankers lie,anyone agree?
yep. and they're not the only ones, are they?
allysmom, I do a lot of work on new homes, and I have not yet seen where one did not go over budget and not have to borrow more money to finish their home. Did you sell your old house ?
why does that happen? do the lenders think if you have borrow more to finish then by then interest rates will be a bit higher so they can do a little extra gouging?

I am glad it is not just us, we had no idea that this went on all the time. We are selling our house and land to our son who is getting married next month. We were just going to give it to him, but he is going to have to buy it now, but at a great discount. Hopefully it will keep us from having to go to the bank and get more money. Our banker told us that if we needed more money to finish it would be no problem, they probably knew up front that we would have to borrow more money. Do you think the banks do this to everybody?
The problem we have been expierincing is the cost of doing business has went up dramaticly, but the banks will not loan more. Don't you think they have a control on us?
don't banks and insurance companies rule the world?
over on that other thread, news section, I think wal-mart rules tho world. Don't you agree?
allysmom (Guest)
Don't you think a lot of the retailers suck for the way they treat their employees?
you're probably right, retail sucks big time. Have you ever worked retail?
allysmom (Guest)
Yep, I worked for about 1 1/2 yrs. for a big retailer (not wal-mart), I went to work there after my youngest started school and I did not want to stay home all day, Ended up getting really burned out, mostly from the customers....Did you know that they can really be big pains in the ass I mean butt?
i've worked retail and isn't it a big fat lie that the customer is always right?
allysmom (Guest)
You hit the nail on the head. Did you know that about 95% of them are usually wrong and just trying to get by with something?
I've been cussed on many occasions by idiots, err customers because we were out of something or some minor thing that I had nothing to do with. Don't that suck?
allysmom (Guest)
Yep, it sucks. If some of them heard themselves, do you think they would be ashamed?
I use to think customers that have also worked retail were a bit kinder than those that had not. I don't think that's true now, do you?
allysmom, in your avatar are they arguing or being smoochy face with one another?
it's hard to tell.

No your not, what are the talking about anyway?
i asked about allysmom's avatar.
doesn't it look like they're playing smoochy face?

You don't think it's a confrontation?
No, but maybe that's because i'm a lover and not a fighter?
Follow the light, PuF. You are getting very sleepy & you see crimson...beautiful crimson jerseys. Can you scream "Roll Tide Roll" with passion yet?
No, no, no. Did you know being a Cht. that spent 14 years married to a sportscaster makes me immune to your suggestions?
It appears you're immunity is too strong for Bama fanaticide. What if I threw in Big Al as part of the package? What does Cht. stand for?
Certified Hypnotherapist.
If it's the same Big Al i used know you know i don't want him back?
If it's the same Big Al i used know you know i don't want him back?
hmm, did he have gray hair, a long nose, the purdiest blue eyes, a slight weight problem and have a giant red A emblazoned across his chest?
did you know the description fits perfectly except the big red A should have been on his forehead?
haha...oh well, sounds like the same Big Al to me. Did you ever have something funny or strange happen during a patient's hypnosis? Or maybe you can't say?
I had a few clients revert to foreign languages during regressions. One was someone i had known all my life and i knew she had never studied Italian, yet under hypnosis she spoke it fluently. Isn't that cool?
did ya'll run allysmom off?
Whoa, that is cool! Maybe Ally's Mom is with Ally?
isn't that a good place for her to be?
allysmom (Guest)
Been off for a little while. The daughter made me a bet I could not stay off the computer for a week. I bet her if I did when we moved, she would have to sleep in her own room, and no more sneaking into our bed at night now. Guess who won?
You missed us, didn't you?
Welcome back!
staying off isn't all that hard after the first day or so, is it?

No it wasn't bad, I did wonder what was going on though...btw daughter lost the bet, I knew she would is the reason I bet with her to start with.
PUF,
Have you ever used hypnosis to help someone lose weight?If you have,did it work?
Have you ever used hypnosis to help someone lose weight?If you have,did it work?
I have, and it does work once the reason for the weight is found (if not medical) and there is a serious desire to get rid of it. Hypnosis is a very strong reinforcement of the clients willpower... but you do know it isn't a magic fix?
i like the new avatar.

Ha. My (step)daughter flunked driver's ed AND P.E. Isn't your situation a good one?
Are you glad you don't have to go through that again?
yes. and isn't themax lucky to have a smart kid?

Does a smart mouth kid count?
My 2yr.old grandson had taken some of the stickers that my husband puts on the trucks after he services them,I said;Did grampa say you could play with his stuff?He comes out with;Paw-paw didn't say No.Don't ya'll think he's going to be gramma's revenge on his daddy,for all the hardtimes he has given me?
I had a brand new grandaughter born yesterday.
I had a brand new grandaughter born yesterday.
I tried hypnosis to loose that last ten pounds. I couldn't relax in the chair. I kept a running critique of the guy's style going in my head like, "he needs to sound more soothing, he needs to clear his throat, he hasn't hypnotized me yet? What's wrong with him?" Needless to say i didn't loose much weight.
allysmom (Guest)
Did you ever lose that 10 pds.?
YW--congratulations on the new grandbaby!

Thank you,she is beautiful and yes,she lives just down the road.I spoil them all.It's easy to do when you know they are going home at the end of the day,isn't it?
I'll never have grandchildren so i get happiness from those that do. Is there such a thing as a vicarious grandma?
You know you're very lucky, right?
You know you're very lucky, right?
I do realize how lucky I am.Did you ever think of becoming a foster grandma?
I never knew how much fun grandchildren are. I have a 3 year old who is my "best friend", her words. We cook, color, go to the flea market all while painted in multicolored nail polish with henna tattoes (is that spelled right?) and lots of hair bows. And all dressed in baby pink, "hot pink" is not "her" pink.
She loves to "fix mimi up". I know I look deranged. But to her we are "twins". So I don't care. And the best thing about grandchildren, the best after watching the daughter who put you through 7 years of teenager hell, is knowing that when the granddaughter is 13 and her mom is too dorky for word, I will still be "The Queen Mimi" to her "Princess Lainey".

and i have thought of the foster grandma thing....maybe someday?
Does anyone know what happened to the question game?
is it still around?
allysmom (Guest)
Do you all think we need to get it started again?
Maybe we just needed a break?
How are you?
I am doing fantastic. What about you?
Well that is good to know, I'm quite ok myself. Did you have an adequate break?
Yes. I'm working more and it's good for me.
Was your break enjoyable?

Hey PUF, whacha doing today?
A glimpse into my evening and weekend world:
My son is obsessed with the alphabet and spends 99% his at home time sitting in the living room floor with his ABC puzzles, phonic boards and favorite ABC book. Sometimes he plays/works on his own, but mostly he expects me to call out each letter (verbally or with sign) at random then he, according to which toy it is, picks it up, writes it or traces it with his finger, then lets me know when he's ready for the next one.
Sooooo, i spend most of my time reading, sewing, writing, working out, computing, etc. Anything that keeps me close by most of the time.
If i go to another room he still lets me know he's ready for the next letter and i yell one back at him. Sometimes, if i tell him i'm busy , he'll work alone for a few minutes.
More answer than you expected? but it explains why i live vicariously through others...lol
what are you doing today?

Are you having a good Father's day?
Yes I am, been watching wildlife. Ever seen a snake catch a fish?
No, i've never seen that. Is it cool, or is it creepy?
allysmom (Guest)
PUF, did you have a good birthday???
I went to the LifeWise luncheon, bought myself a present and my son made me a card at school. It was a very good birthday. Thank you for asking.
allysmom (Guest)
Where's everybody at?
I'm here, but getting my son ready for bed in a few minutes. Then i'm taking a long shower. Doesn't that feel good after getting hot and sweaty?
allysmom (Guest)
Yes it does, there is nothing like getting hot and sweaty is there?
and isn't some hot and sweaty much better than others?
allysmom (Guest)
Oh yea, no doubt about it. Don't you think there is one hot and sweaty that no one minds?
yeaaa, the kind of hot and sweaty that even AC doesn't help until it's over, right?
i remember that kind

y'all are makin me blush!
what does the deck conversation do to you?
awww nothin....

I sometimes make myself blush. The real, old fashioned me is sometimes shocked at what the forum me blurts out.....lol.
I think, with me, it's a case of those that can, do,
and those that never have a chance to,
talk about it ?

I have not been out in it much. It is even hot inside though. Reckon it will get hotter still?
it's bound to. isn't August always the hottest month?
i went in Hobby Lobby today and they have their Autumn stuff already on display and they're putting out Christmas stuff. Not surprising, right?

We are going on vacation the first week of August. I guess that is a bad time to be going?
i remember vacations. are they still as enjoyable as they were 20+ years ago?
where are you going?
allysmom (Guest)
North Carolina, going to the Cherokee Reservation, Ghost Mountain and a few other places. You think that will be fun with a bunch of girl scouts?
as long as they bring cookies!
i've never had a chance to go there. is it as beautiful as the pictures i've seen?
allysmom (Guest)
I have never been there either. Do you think staying a week is too much?
Have fun, are you going camping?
i've heard camping is fun. is that true?
how could it be true if I'm lying?
what are you lying about?
Do you have some cookies?
I have cookies. Do you have a favorite?
Not really, isn't oatmeal better for you than sugar?
oatmeal raisin is even better....still warm from the oven.
got milk?
got milk?
I've got milk but who's thankful for the rain?!?!?!?

Hasn't the rain been just wonderful?
I slept right thru it. rain and storms make me sleep like a baby.
Is it supposed to rain tomorrow?
I don't know, you got some cookies?
i've got great cookies
good reply. what was the question?
I think that question was loaded, or was that the answer?
maybe both?
Who knows?
Maybe the Shadow?
(and the cookie monster ?)
(and the cookie monster ?)
do you believe in the cookie monster?
I live with the cookie monster.
Every seen a cookie jar with a lock on it?
Every seen a cookie jar with a lock on it?
No. do you have a lock on your cookie jar?
Yep. Well, it's really a Tupperware bowl inside a wooden breadbox that i put a small hasp and lock on.
Ever seen a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with a padlock?
My son certainly doesn't go hungry, but he also doesn't know what moderation means. It's tied into the autism.
And having to ask (sign, sound or picture) for a snack or drink is good for his communication skills.

I need a lock on the cookie jar at my house. Figure I can lock myself out and forget the combination.
Don't a cookie jar need a lock on it?
the cookie AISLE needs a lock on it, right?
Why not do what we do at my house -- post armed guards at the cookie cabinet with orders to shoot on sight?
i AM the armed guard around here.

Anyones deck get wet and cooled off today??
Wouldn't you like to know?!?!
do decks shrink when they get wet?
I think after long term exposure, don't they?
my deck is swollen from being so wet lately.
is the answer to your question yes?
ummm, yes
What do you think this is, the deck discussion?
Hmmm... I don't know, is it?
Accually I was commenting on PUF's post "do decks shrink when they get wet?" My decks, fences are all swollen tight together from all the rain lately. Cant shut one of my gates because it is so swollen. So accually I answered wrong to a later question from PUF, "is the answer to your question yes?" I should have answered no. Sorry for all the confusion I have caused.I have brain farts all too often lol
allysmom (Guest)
No need to be sorry Imax. Didn't you know we all loved to talk about decks??
and haven't we all been confused with topics at some point?
Don't feel out of place, isn't this the question game?
and we don't have any answers, do we?
No answers, but we love talking about decks so much it flows onto more than one post, doesn't it?????
flowing decks.....
isn't that a strange visual?
isn't that a strange visual?
Is there such a thing?

How 'bout dem Bravos?

Good -- so tell us -- what turns you ON??
PB, you started the convo, so what turns YOU on???
How about French kissing with lots of tongue action??
allysmom (Guest)
Hey PB. just how old would you be?
Old enuf to know better, 49, and you?
Prolly way too old for you, but don't you find us older gentlemen just charming??
allysmom (Guest)
Do you think 44 is a good age?
Isn't that right around the time a woman comes into her "sexual prime"??
allysmom (Guest)
sexual prime....whats that?????
I'm not too sure, but doesn't it have something to do with multiple orgasms? (Can you say orgasm?)
I think it is the use of strong ****tail and lubricant isn't it?
allysmom (Guest)
maybe a combination of them all?
Don't you think this discussion is really "pushing the envelope" for a public forum such as this??? Don't you find all this talk about orgasms, lubricants, etc. to be rather amusing?
Or perhaps a better choice of words would have been "arousing"???
allysmom (Guest)
haven't you heard that it turns some people on??
