Fri 10/26/2007 5:51p | Good evening! I have never had so many posts to read at once. RT sorry to hear about your friend. You have a wonderful tradition to remember her.
MM you could not have a better street to live on. LOL! It's perfect.
Villians I am not too familiar with South shore Tahoe but my DH is a little. That's great that you got a good deal on the house for the week.
I have had a busy day myself. I started off by having my nails filled (yes,they are fake) and then stopped by my house to pick up my kids. DD had a party to attend and we needed a gift. So off to the Disney store (where else would we go). Bought the gift and started to head home. I was preparing to turn onto the freeway when I noticed a man on a bike crossing the entrance to the on- ramp so I stop. Well the person behind me did not. I spent the next hour with NHP getting a report for a traffic accident. Everybody is fine. I have had a little neck and back pain but will see where it goes from here. Needless to say my Nissan Titan held up and the damage is mostly on the bumper. You can barely notice it and my truck is still drivable. The BMW X5 however was munched in the front and had to be towed. After all is said and done we drive home and DD still gets to go to her party. Now I will spend next week going after the insurance co.(other drivers) trying to get my truck repaired. Have a great weekend! |

Fri 10/26/2007 5:58p | Mater sorry you had to deal with all that - thank goodness you are all alright...Does you DS still sit in a seat - if so you should replace it - Anytime you are in any kind of fender bender you should replace your car seats - at least that's what our police department has told us - My DD9 is still in a booster as she still only ways 54lbs (we were so happy when she finally hit the 50lbs...).
Hopy you feel okay this weekend - we were rearended last weekend - but we were on the Indy ride at DL and the car coming in to the queue hit us before we left and we were all fine!!

Fri 10/26/2007 7:50p | So sorry Mater! What a way to start your weekend. I think you deserve a free-pass week...all agreed?
Free Pass Rules: No matter what Mater says, we will bite our tongues, and duct tape our mouths if need be, so as not to retort sarcastically, shamelessly, or in anyway that can be construed as anything but kindly & sweet. (This will be toughest on MM, but I know even she can do it! I'll even send her another bottle of Tarantula if need be)
Once again-- all in favor?
In all seriousness, I am so very glad you are all safe! I know its a bummer that your truck is damaged, but it is so much easier to replace a bumper than someone you love. God Bless you and your family! :hugs:

Fri 10/26/2007 8:09p | Thanks Mickey for the free pass. I will try not to abuse it. HeHe. I am thankful that my children are doing well and did not get too shaken up over the ordeal.
Villians you are correct about the booster seat. My DS does still use one. We will be replacing it immediately. That was one of the first things DH told me. What would I do without him? I wish I was rearended at indy. |

Sat 10/27/2007 9:38a | Good morning ladies! Just though I would check in before our busy day starts. I won't be able to check back in until later tonight.
My DD14 has a gig in another town tonight, we have a birthday to attend this afternoon, and I want to try and sneak into the outlet stores and pickup a couple of Christmas items for her while she's at my DN5's birthday party.
The day hasn't even started and I'm already tired!
And somewhere in between I have to find a way to clean my house---its a disaster!
Have a great day everyone! |

Sat 10/27/2007 9:39a | Morning - How are you feeling Mater - stiff at all?
Mickey will you come to my house while I am in DL and wrap all my presents for me???? I could use the tree being put up too!!! ;-)
Well MM should be feeling better by now - hopefully w**k will be better on Monday!! Her Boss should plan a long weekend at DL for her to make up for all that this co-worker has put her through!!
Tink - any more pumpkin bread - How do you make it - I love pumpkin bread but have never found a good receipe...Did you check out the BevMo web site - not sure how the regulated states work with online stuff....

Sat 10/27/2007 2:54p | Mickey you and your shopping. I will be lucky to have anything purchased by thanksgiving. My priority is getting my truck fixed by then since we leave on the 24th to my in-laws house. Hope your DD has a great show tonight.
Villians My neck is better today (thank goodness). MM could have used a three day weekend. Yesterday was Nevada Day here. Scools, Banks etc. were closed yesterday. |

Sat 10/27/2007 8:53p | Mater, I'm so sorry about your car accident. I'm glad you aren't in any pain today, but I still am upset about your car and all of the hassle you'll have to go through to get it fixed. What a PITA. Why don't people pay attention when they are driving? One night this week while I was waiting for a person on a bike to go by I was getting honked at so bad and the cars behind me were all trying to go around me because they couldn't see the guy on the bike. So, they almost hit him as he crosses on the side they are passing me on. Why can't people just be patient for a minute, it's not like they're going to get where they're going that must faster. There's still a red light up ahead.
Villains, your DS should be able to convince the Walmart folks that he has plane tix to visit his grandmother that week, don't you think? They should be so happy to have him working there that they'll spare him for a few days. I'd hate to see him miss out on a trip to DL and the gf. It would be awful for you, too. You'll really miss him. He's been on the last 2 trips and he needs a break from the extra guests, if you know what I mean ;) It would be so nice for him to be with just the immediate family. (and the gf)
My pumpkin bread recipe is as old as the hills.I think it's from one of those old Betty Crocker books that my sister had. I scribbled it on a piece of paper about 20 years ago and believe it or not, I still have it! It's good, it's nice and moist.
Here it is:
3 1/2 c flour
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
3 c. sugar
1 c oil
4 eggs
2/3 c water
1 can pumpkin (1 lb)
Mix together until smooth.
Grease pan.
Bake 350 for an hour or until toothpick comes out clean.
I get 2 large loaf pans and one or two small loaf pans out of each batch. I use 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice in place of the cinnamon and nutmeg.
I didn't try to order anything from the site with the mudslides. I checked it out, though. I saw the mudslides cost $14 and I thought I'd check the prices out in DE on my next trip there! See which was the better deal. I need some of that cheap imitation Bailey's, too. Especially with the holidays coming up. When I read about all of the shopping everyone is getting done, I'll need a drink or two.
This is very important for you and Mater, there are only a few days left before Halloween and you need to go to McDonald's to buy those treat coupons. You know the ones that you get a pack of 12 for $1 and there are coupons for free french fries, soda, ice cream and cookies? Then you can use them on your way back to Hojos for free treats for the kids. (Except, I don't think Villains is staying there.) I am going to buy some, too, although last year I had a hard time because my kids are quite obviously not 12 anymore and the Mickey D's there is quite a stickler for details! lol Maybe, I can order 3 ice cream cones and have the kids stand outside and tell the McD people they are too tired to come in or something. Ask your SIL, Villains, she'll know what I can do! :)
Have a good night everyone!
I hope Mickey's DD's show was another success!
