What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .
What does it mean when whenever you post, you're the last one and no one posts after you and if they do, your comment is not even acknowleged?
happy2bhere 
Could it be that your comments show such profound wisdom that no one else feels competent to reply? Probably not. Most likely, just a coincidence. Don't take it personally.
Simple Solutioneven worse when you post the original, and you are also the last to post :)
Been there, done that . I agree with Simple Solution, don't take it personally

Calico696 Hi Happy!
Been there/done that afa being the last to post. Just thought I'd help you out here so the trend wouldn't continue for you!

CrunchyMom Calico, you're getting married soon... think of BF... those airline tickets are probably non-refundable.
Happy to help you Happy :)
This thread could break the record for most posts ever.
Wonder what the reigning champ is?

Dolly BrownEyes: Are you now the official post killer? Somehow I don't think it's going to be so easy to kill this one. Unless I just did.
Karen in LV when I was a kid (couple of weeks ago)we played kick the can late into the nite,and this forum post is sort of like that game,always someone else coming out of the dark to kick the can.......it's raining froggy

Justasking I nominate Clyde Potts as hero of the day -- for going above and beyod the call of duty.
see the biggest problem is at mides to bed. I on the other hand am up most nights until 2am
that is not what I wrote - I wrote
see the biggest problem is that most of you go to bed at midnight. and I am up until at least 2am.
And from nowhere comes Bessie! Fun post guys, some great lines, and that Clyde, what a guy!
Bessie I dont want to think its insomnia but I believe it is. Normal bed time 2 to 330 am and then I am up at 630 to 7am. No naps. Tried reading, TV, nothing on, and nothing works
Honestly I have been like this since my separation. So over 2 years ago and no its not because I miss him before all the hater go there. I have a lot of friends all over the US so I end up "IMing" them all night.
Yawn
(Do you all yawn when someone mentions the word or if you see someone yawning? I do)
Ha! Since it' so late I'll have the longest time between posts...see ya' in the morning!
Sorry folks, I was away visiting other forums on the net making sure that there were "No last unanswered post left" had a little trouble trying to understand reading the forums in China
Hello everyone! 16 days, Calico - wow - that's coming fast! Yahoo! And Bessie, my dad used to say that to us every night!
My dad used to say "Good night and don't let me hear a peep out of you" to which we would all cry "peep"!
Same here, Dolly. After I left you I went to Dunkin Donuts on Mountain Ave (I NEVER go to DD). Then I got home and read about Ginger and the mice. Great timing.
Christine No, but I learned two things today. Look for mice wherever I go and never go to the bathroom in the dark.
The last one to post will be the last one to go to bed tonite. I't won't be me. 'Nite all.

Alex (unicycler) Cur I wonder what will happen if we all hit "enter" to post at 11:59:59. Will the forum explode?

Cherie 
reggie Home from church, and ready to keep this going. Happy "Day the Giants beat the Eagles Day".
OK, I just know that everyone is watching the Jets this afternoon and Desperate Housewives tonight so this just HAS to be the last post :)
Anyone...........................I love desperate Housewives.
What time are the Giants on?
I love this one upmanship. LOL.
Christine...love the grandson pic. Last picture I have of you is the one stuffing dollars down your shirt at the bake sale. You've come so far! ;)
INeedMoreCowBell Awww - Christine - that picture is adorable! I'm glad they got to visit you this weekend!
INMC - you are TOO funny!
Has happy2behere ever posted anything before??? Look what happens when she finally does! This'll teach ya hon!
I came n around 6:30p and it said you ouldnt post and I got so upset! NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Was pleased when it came back on!
We love ya h2bh!
hristine jivedig, as cbel said its better than the politics posts that brings out the bad in us. This is fun and light. Who knows this could be the LAST post
Maybe we should change the title of this thread to "What does it mean when a thread never ends?"!
turn up your volume; replace the word song with thread; and have fun getting the lyrics out of your head the rest of the day
http://www.imeem.com/catzboulevard/music/XidCzGWb/lamb_chop_and_frens_this_is_the_song_that_never_ends/
heh heh heh
I clicked on and listened to your little ditty, Beanzer, and I just have to say "I need to tear myself away from this forum and get a life."
HA - HA - HA - HA - HA!!! It's alive!!!! Hackettstein, my baby, it's alive!!! Ha, ha, ha, ha!!!
Just my attempt at evil laughter above - :O)
just in case you missed the lyrics:
This is the song that never ends,
yes it goes on and on my friends
Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because
You shouldve wrote it with the new words.
This is the thread that never ends,
yes it goes on and on my friends
Some people started writing it, not knowing what it was
And they'll continue writing it forever just because.
I wonder who's gonna tuck us all in tonight.
Gruesome thought: What if people start doing the "Good night, John Boy" bit? We could be up all night, but then Justasking would have lots of company.
Good night, sleep tight
Don't let the bed bugs bite;
If they do, get your shoe
And knock 'em 'till they're black and blue!
Calico, I think we were watching the same game. Only I didn't think of it as the !#%^ Eagles game.....I thought of it as the awesome Giants game. =)
Sorry-I really try to never gloat when it comes to the NFC east: we've just got too tough a division, and on any given day......
That's alright Marshmallow, gloat if you like, it's all good.
Just realize that I watched the &^%$# Eagles game after watching the &^%$# Penn State game Saturday night and the &^%$# Saints game Sunday afternoon. Talk about a triple whammy.
I think it means your name is "BT Resident"!!!
ROTFLMBO!!!
And now.... ........................
(fade to black....!)

Oh Christine, why did you have to go there? There are just some things we don't want a mental picture of! :) Oh wait, you meant to get up in the middle of the night to have a cookie and glass of milk...oh, ok. I thought this forum was rated G. :)
p.s. Now that the threads are about Thanksgiving and Christmas what is everyone's favorite Christmas food/drink/candy?
egg nog ooh with SC! MMMMM!!!
Candy canes with hot tea!!!!!MMMMM!!!
Man now Im hungry!
Mmmmm egg nog!
Actually, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Silk Nog -- the only soy milk I can stand! :)
I thought about that cbel, but I just wanted to keep this one alive...I've got high hopes for this thread...high apple pie in the sky hopes...plus, I have a secret evil plan to see how many tangents this thread can produce...
Ooooooh, Cal, I like your evil laugh much better. Mmmmwwwuuuaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for another great day, everyone, and to all a good night!
Beanzer: I think this thread can live on it's own, but I'll play along with you. You seem to have a master plan and I'm in for the ride.
December 4th, I'll be up thinking about how two years ago I was in labor preparing to have my daughter at 7:42 the next morning!
Thanks for asking Clyde!
You were preparing to have your daughter at "7:42" - why not 7:43 or 7:41? That's planning!
DING, DING, DING ~ INMCB is number 200!!!! Wow!!! Have the number of posts ever reached 200 before? Okay, I had to celebrate that moment. Now I'm off to bed . . . I promise.
This post is SO REFRESHING, after reading the racism and hatred from How much is your safety worth in Hackettstown? post.
Although with that post it does reveal how much there is here in town.
Back to light hearted. Morning All
This post IS fun, Clyde. It's treat to read comments that put a smile on my face instead of a knot in my stomach.
Poor SueR. Once you jump in, you will never get out.
wow, I had been avoiding this thread, but finally sat down and read the whole thing just now... you guys are silly, lol. :)
sandy Hey, Clyde! That was our house number when I was growing up. Maybe I should play that number today.
Cbel....you know what I realized about a year ago, everywhere I have ever lived, has had a "1" in the address....1, 10, 17, 19, 102, 106, 175....creepy.
Calico: For me, 5 out of 6 ... 681, 317, 106, 412, 373 and 416.
See, SueR, it starts out slowly, then you get all caught up with this silly stuff. My laundry is piling up and my apt needs a cleaning. See you later.
Good morning everyone I only recently started this but I do think this is funny....and you can probably tell my life must be pretty boreing or I simple find the absurd amusing. "A day without laughter is a day wasted". Charlie Chaplin said that so I try to laugh at lest once a day....
You will have to be satisfied with a great big THANK YOU, Clyde.
I'm going to have to put your share aside for the deli tip jars.
baby is napping and THIS is what I'm choosing to spend time on??!
Thanks everyone for this!
cebel, thats the last HOT TIP I give you lol
This thread is what HL is about. The hatred threads should be killed by Chris.
BRING CLORIS BACK
BRING CLORIS BACK
BRING CLORIS BACK
BRING CLORIS BACK
lol
IS there anything to cut and paste for this foolishness? And I use the word foolishness is the most loving way.
i'm confused, how do you guys know what number poster you are? my screen doesn't show anything but the name, date, time, and email/website links
I am totally going to be 317, I WANT to go to Hawaii. I will just wait for you all to go to sleep and then just keep posting the ABC's and before you know it I will win. You say insomina sucks, "I'm going to Hawaii" insert evil laugh here.
White sand beaches, palm trees, blue water, Ladies in Bikinis, Hawaiian Leis (flowers that is lol), sunshine
317
I must have been reading this thread thought I might be the first today it's my day off so only time I get in front of the machine :) hope you all have a great wed. mine is full with running around yuck!!!
Lol Clyde I try I try, but I always get sucked back in :) This is fun tho, hope everyone has a great day!
SueR: I'm starting to worry about you.
ianimal: Is your cat a female? That's a PMSing face if I ever saw one.
Clyde Potts: Who is Cloris?
Practically, cbel... he's a neutered male who's had a perineal urethostomy, so he doesn't have any "equipment" at all anymore. That may explain the look on his face, lol.
nah, changed my mind I don't like 269 I like 270 better; even number rule - odd numbers drool - I'm so indecisive today!
Hello All
If your vacuum cleaner really sucks, is it a
bad thing?
When cheese gets its picture taken what
does it say?
Do tea makers have coffee breaks?
Most people, at some time or other, have been overwhelmed and at other times have been underwhelmed... has anyone ever been whelmed?
Slow down everyone! I have to go to Kohl's and Shop Rite and get home in time win. Or maybe I should stay home, win, and then go out. Oh, what to do?
Its getting close. #277. I can smell the pineapple and Hawaiian Tropic now. Aloha
cbel - Cloris is cloris Lechman who got kicked out of dancing with the stars I think. Now go to Kohl's cause I am winning this trip baby

You're not fooling ME twice, JohnC.
In a pig's eye, Justasking. I DO care about you, but not enough to let you win.
Uh Oh! This thread is taking a toll on me. I'm actually starting to look like my gravitar.
Why did the chicken...oops sorry, we already did that one ;)
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
THIS JUST IN
After meeting with the committee, it has been decided since cebel has to go to Kohl's and Shop Rite the winning # has been changed to 713. This decision MAY BE appealed.
The Committee
lol
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, will it hit the bear who may or may not be doing his business?
ianimal your ponderings on being whelmed were also pondered in the movie ten things I hate about you, lol. Ever since seeing that movie that question has been on my mind. :)
Moses supposes his toeses are roses but Mose supposes erroneously because nobody's toeses are poses of roses as Moses supposes his toeses to be.
Clyde - I still want to be 317 and I think if I take this thread to court I would totally win. LOL
Jivedig - the answer is if a man speaks he is wrong not matter who is around. LOL
When women speak, they are NEVER wrong... because we didn't listen to what you said anyway (-;
Thank you for thinking of me Clyde, but I skipped Kohl's and rushed through Shop Rite to make it back in time. I'm going for 317!
Alex (unicycler) Cur Justasking your appeal has been approved lol
317 still is Hawaii
713 is now Europe

I totally missed it. I was on a conference Web call. Europe works for me though. But I dont think I can do another 400 comments.
I think cbel need someone to go with her. I can check my schedule and I am sure I can clear at least a week.
Justasking: I was afraid you might have cried yourself to sleep and missed your chance. Actually, I would love to take anyone with me, but I have a sneaky suspicion this contest was bogus. But IF Clyde brings me my prize, I will let you know.
Woooo Hooooo! ! ! ! I'm in I'm in.....should I be scared? Nervous? this is too fun.
it has been fun...I'm 332 - I've got to come back for 334 - save it for me and I'll tell you why :)
Oh thanks; my daughter was born at 3:34....now I need 337 - again, I'll tell you why ;)
Thanks guys; my other daughter was born at 3:37....coincedence....nah they're twins :)
Hockeymom: You'll be sorry .. but you will have a good time in the meantime.
This forum could give SNL a run for its money. The wit - Oh the wit!
I like your intermission, INMCB -
Beanzer, I'm a twin mom too! Fun, aren't they?
Good Morning All! Another week is rounding the bend..Stay dry all...and BTW....I AM addicted now and HELP I cant stop !! Hee Hee
The post that we hope WILL NEVER END.
Gotta see if the Guinness people keep a record of such things as longest thread lol
longest thread i have ever seen was in forums for RF or SSA the thread had over 28,000 replies.
Thanks, hockeymom.
I am - I love "seeing" everyone interact with their wonderful sense of humor, act like kids and have fun! Warms my heart . . . thank you ALL for keeping this going!
"Beanzer, I'm a twin mom too! Fun, aren't they?"
oh yeah, two two year olds...real fun! ;) just kidding they are happy2bhere how old are yours? Are they your only children? Are they boys, girls, one of each? I also have a son.
hockeymom, see this thread to find out how to get your gravatar:
http://www.hackettstownlife.com/forum/60844
Cal thanks for the link....Everyone is so helpful here. I am glad that I started reading and eventually joining in Stay tuned to see what I choose ( if anyone cares LOL )
Hey, Beanzer - Fraternal, Girls, 8 y/o - they grow up fast. I'm missing the 2 y/o phase. Round, little rolly polly munchkins . . . :0)
I cant keep up with you guys!
I get hungry from the other posts now I m dizzy from this one. LOL!
ok this is the last one.....
no more posting unless you really wanna be the last one.
SusieQ I doubt it, it's becoming additive to see how long this can go.....and I don't want to be the last one.....
No, SusieQ. Keep 'em coming. We need about 50 more today if we want to meet the day's quota and send someone to the moon by next Thanksgiving.
I can't believe I just hit another of my old house numbers. First 317 and now 373. Save 416 for me. This is wierd.
BF, says he may actually post in this thread. He thinks it's cool. He has never posted before.....come on BF!!!!!
Let's egg him on!!!
How has he resisted all this time? Come on Calico's BF. Give it a try. You can always get out any time you want.
(heh heh heh)
I helped him make a gravatar the other night so he could post....hasn't done it yet though. Chicken!!!!
calico, tell him to post in the other thread... the crick people need to be heard (-;
Hey, Calico, hell' be sorry if he doesn't when we become famous for breaking the WORLD RECORD. Plus let him know, he already missed a chance to go to Hawaii lol
Maybe I can convince him to post after Happy Hour tonight. After he has a few (ok, he usually has more than a few, that's why I drive, yikes I just remembered that JP's has Rolling Rock on tap), I might be able to talk him in to it.
POST.........BF you must postPOST.........BF you must postPOST.........BF you must postPOST.........BF you must postPOST.........BF you must postPOST.........BF you must postPOST.........BF you must postPOST.........BF you must post
Gt the point!!!
btw, i'm glad we don't get email notifications when someone replies to a thread we've posted on. that would be a real thread killer.
Ianimal.....No way will my Gravatar be a pitbull with lipstick. I am one hockeymom that was NOT for Palin.
Thanks for the chuckle tho...I needed it!
INMC - saw your namesake skit on Best of SNL the other night. I think it was ranked in the top 3 or so of the funniest ever! Cracked me up..... again!
post # 389 ok...I'll take it I graduated high school in '89...this is scary, now I'm actually looking at the numbers to make a reference...
Hockeymom and how come the gravatar I chose is not showing up but this grumpy lookin dude is??
Also,,, what's up with the security code at the bottom...I never had that before?
Hockeymom, sometimes it takes a little while for your selected gravatar to show up.
have not added a comment since for the past couple of nights the system wont let me.
hockeymom, it could take a half hour for new gravatar. Try also deleting your cookies, then repost. You'll have to insert security codes or captchas so that 'bots', etc. don't post on forums.
;)
Bestest to ya!
Dunno about that... but she *did* do that pizza crawl a couple of Fridays ago.
Not evidence, per se... but I'm just saying (-;
My calculations indicate that at 10:34 we are at 62 posts or thereabout. I can't keep my eyes open any longer. Will report back in the morning. Nite all.
One last look at HL and I'm off to bed...
BTW, INMCB, where are you finding those thread related images?
All over, justintime... ;)
I'm plugging myself in now, to outdo Reggie tonight.
LOL,Reggie. Not my cat...but I think he's THINKING..not flipping.
Although, I wouldn't put that passed a cat. ;)
Picture change! LOL
Bad kitty!
Here's your fave from this summer. LOL. Don't remember who's it was.
OMG!!! I was about to do the same I swear to god!!! I was just waiting for you to post! LMAO!!!!!
Good morning all. Well, we hit 78 posts yesterday from first post at 8:46 am to last post at 12:17 am. Go team!
I need to get a life .. I really do.
It's still here, amazing really amazing, but small minds are amused by small things have a good day everyone.....
Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .
Ponderthis:
Put a fork in it. It's Done!
OK I had to bump it up! Now, let me get to the sweet potato and pasta fagioli recipes....
busy day, just thought I'd take a second to see where this is going still going on I see that's (I'm not sure what)interesting?
OK I just posted my Baked Maple Sweet potato recipes and Pasta Fagioli....I hope hockeymom, cbel, or someone else makes them...let me know!
I'm having soup on Sunday - now if I can only pick which one I want..... maybe I'll just make all of them!
Wish me luck everyone...don't know if I'll get to the computer again before the Hackettstown Elementary Tricky Tray...I wanna win! :) (this should be good for another 10 posts at least)
Oh and Christine, good luck to you. I know you are going to the PAL Tricky Tray...I know you were lucky last year.
Michele Have a great weekend, Everyone! I'll be trying some of these fabulous recipes . . .
Thanks Beanzer good luck to you also. If I win something I really dont want you have first pick!
We're at 37 for the day. I'm kind of winding down myself. Will check back later before I turn in. I hope everyone is enjoying their evening away from this thread.
Happy Friday night everyone, BF are on our way out to beer & game night across town at our friends.
I'm calling it a day at poster 466. Nite all.
Calico: I hope you enjoyed your evening. BF: You make soups? Post already for goodness sakes!
Tis the season tlo win lots at Tricky trays Fa la la la la la la laaaaaaaa
Won 4 baskets tonight.........one M&m one, game one, kids baking one, and a chick flick one with 8 DVD's and candy!
very good night I must say.
Hope you did good Beanzer!
Hey Christine,
Congrats...I won 3! A basket with holiday books, a session with a photographer here in town, in my neighborhood - Sparkle Photography - Janice McMillan on Saxton Drive (Yea!) and my big one - an American Girl!
Congrats Christine! I went to a tricky tray in Sparta (kids were allowed - so I took my daughter) - We didn't win anything : (
I hope Beanzer won!
I've always thought that M&M's sold in Hackettstown should be discounted....just makes sense right?
I won a big fat goose egg at the tricky tray.
I just want sympathy.
Insert it here ______________________________
INMC... I can point out where you can find it in the dictionary, but I doubt it would help your mood (-;
Since I didn't win any baskets, the Wii, 50/50, the TV...an M&M like Christine...nothing...not a thing.....can I win #500? Sniffle. Sob.
Thanks, justintime.
In the meantime: Pity Party! Table of one.....
(I also didn't win the Mega Millions tonight! George Clooney didn't call, and I'm not sure, but I think Clairol discontinued my 'natural' hair color)
;)
Here's another TT loser. :-(
We were surrounded by multiple winners - Beanzer were you sitting at the table next to me who kept WINNING WINNING WINNING? grrrr. Share the wealth, will ya'?
Congrats Christine on that other TT.
Good Grief, Bessie, that's an early good morning. Make me #2.
Poor INMCB, You sure had a crappola night. Maybe George will call today.
Friday stats: first post at 7:07 am, last at 2:02 am, for a
grand total of 63 for the day. Good work, night crew!
Bessie - I won Julie
Slade - I may have been; last row, back corner of the gym...there were 8 of us who went together and 7 of us won! 3 of us won multiple times :)
Okay if we make it to 550 today Im taking everyone on a cruise.
BTW its a cruise to nowhere. I will supply the drinks also.
Beeanzer an American girl doll? OMG now you have to buy another. LOL!
Hopeful in H-town Christine? Nowhere, I've been there its a nice place. What I find strange about the people there though is that they have this thread on the internet titled Nowhere Life and the people there just keep posting on this thread about nothing, they just keep posting & posting & posting. We would NEVER do that here. And all their forum topics everyone is in agreement, we would NEVER do that here lol
great -- thanks Christine... now I have THAT song in my head...
"we're on the road to nowhere..."
working it to 550. Is there a prize since I won nothing at the tricky tray last night?
bummer about not winning anything marshmallow... I didn't either ---
oh, wait... I wasn't there!
Aww Crunchy, you beat me. =( Good job. I had 400, so I guess I'll just have to wait for 600 now.
and I can honestly say I have read VERY few of the posts! LOL
Are there people who are actually reading from the beginning if they're coming in now? I read for awhile when it was slow or I was here posting and reading, but to read in between DAYS of posting?? ack! that's a lot of dribble!
Christine,
You want to know what's funny? We were all at the American Girl Doll store in NYC the Thursday of teacher's convention and I told my husband, "They have Bitty Babies and the Bitty Twins, we'll stick with those and the accesories, but I don't want to get started on the American Girl Dolls." And, you're right, I told him at breakfast, "Now, we'll have to get another one so they each have one!" Well, at least this one will be in the closet for a long time 'till they're old enough play with it! :)
Beanzer
Do you mean drivel (inane conversation) as opposed to dribble (what a teething baby does)?
wow you all have been very busy...congrats to all the TT winer great timing with the holidays coming
Hey All..SO glad this thread is still rockin!. I have been too busy to get here before now. I see for some the TT went well and others not so good....I hope the night out was fun either way!
Can't believe how warm it is outside and thankfully the rain is done for now. I was actually outside getting a few things done.
Sadly, I must go back to cleaning. : ( Would rather post and read!
Clyde...thanks for the TW post. As you can see I read Bryan's first...sorry : ( I am glad I got done what I needed to before the storms roll back in. I pay close attention to the weather always...I am facinated by it.
This thread keeps going and going and going.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maJek5yR-Pg
That was one quick-and-crazy storm.
And, apropos of the subject of this thread, what does it mean when you start a thread criticizing a cross burning in Warren County and no one responds? Maybe the tone of my post was not clear, or maybe no one knows me yet, so no one felt comfortable responding?
Just wondering...I am new to the forum. And still hopeful that most people are better than that incident would indicate.
Hopeful.. the incident was thoroughly addressed when it happened (and then some). I doubt anyone wants to get back into it.
Thanks so much, ianimal. I thought that must be the case; I guess I didn't search through the prior threads carefully enough.
Well, at least this one's up to 521.
I wonder who is going to hit #550 AND if it's possible to happen by end of day tomorrow - Sunday - any thoughts?
Hopeful, there were lots of families there whose children attend Ridge and Valley up in Blairstown. I believe there was at least one Hackettstown family there. The school had their annual Harvest Festival tonight and so things were delayed as we waited for people to join the festival after they participated in the unity march -- word was that it was well attended and it was a very positive thing.
Thanks for the update, CrunchyMom. I'm glad to know that the reports on the march were positive. Hope the Ridge and Valley festival went well, too.
So are we going to get to 550 tonight? Only about 3 hours left...
I remain,
531....still going....man do I feel like making a pot of soup right now....it'll have to wait till tomorrow, I've got to look back at some of the recipes in the soup thread....this forum always makes me hungry...
At this rate, we're going to get to 550 tonight - maybe we should shoot for 600 by the end of day Sunday ;o)
Great news -- it looks like a new "Saturday Night Live" tonight. Paul Ruud is hosting; Beyonce is musical guest. I think it's the first new edition since the election. It could be a good one...
How good will SNL be w/o the Election
Also the keg is almost dry, anyone up for making a run?
Until the leadup to the election, SNL hadn't been relevant for at least 5 years, IMHO.
The ironic thing is that the characters who made it relatively funny the past month aren't even regular cast members. I have no hope for it... besides, Couture-Lesnar will be on about that time (-;
Hopeful in H,
I saw your post on the cross incident, normally I would comment on that, but those topics seem to bring the ugly and racist comments out from some of the people who post on the site. This thread is a get away from all that BS thread. Also welcome to HL and this thread, although you'll be sorry that you got sucked in here lol
Whose making the keg run???????
only 10 more now....Hopeful, Clyde is right....it sucks you in and you cant stop...but it is FUN Welcome!
Thanks, Clyde. I've lurked on and off for a while, so I'm familiar with what goes on. I didn't see the prior threads on the incident, although I was interested in the march today. I still remain Hopeful...
RE: SNL, I happen to think that Amy Pohler is hilarious. Did you see her do the Sarah Palin rap? She was pretty out there, and with Palin herself sitting there raising the roof. There's a recent one re-running right now... it's true, they're milking the pre-election shows...Tina Fey is fabulous.
Breaking 540 now...
Happy2bhere, oh starter of this thread, my gravatar is part of an image that says "hope," but I couldn't get the whole word to crop into the gravatar. I'll try to post the whole thing here.
Okay, on to 600 for tomorrow...
BTW, my gravatar is not original. Is yours, Happy? It's cool; very purpley.
I love your gravatar. Mine happens to be an original. It's a picture I took this Spring of my daughter's hands cupping a bunch of wild violets she gave me - she's always picking flowers and giving them to me . . . sweet, thoughtful child of mine.
I made her a card with a picture of a bunch of dandelions she gave me when she was younger and put it in her scrapbook - saying something along the lines of "if I could bring you as many blessings as you've brought me flowers" or something like that.
She's thrilled that "she's" the gravatar, btw!
C'mon we can keep going I am still wired from my day! Now Im hungry and want ice cream
HMMMMM Ben and Jerrys anyone!
I'm just about to eat an ice cream sandwich -- I have a few in my freezer. I need something cold, and water just won't cut it.
I just finished a tiny Haagen-Dazs Vanilla.....yummmy It must be in the air tonight
Happy, what a great story about your gravatar. I love the fact that those are your daugther's hands holding the violets. Very sweet.
Okay, all you sugar addicts - I'm sitting here eating Lays Potato Chips . . . and you know what they say - you can't have just one!
I think we've got three to go and we're at 550.
How bout that storm this afternoon, huh?
Okay, so who dropped the keg off at my house and made me drink it to the point where I can't count anymore? Hmmm? Who was it??? Really!
:O)
I know the feeling, it happend to me about 20 minutes ago. Good night, Christine . . . tomorrow's another day.
Paul Rudd (niiiice), Beyonce (the best) and now Timberlake! Cool. He's so funny!
Christine, wake up!
Okay, the skits have not been the best, but I am enjoying Timberlake. And Andy Samberg is hilarious!
What Waht? Who woke me up? SHHHH trying to sleep!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
How can you guys watch tv and post at the same time? Laptop, maybe? And, if so, how dastardly is that - relaxation time along with the internet . . . wow, I learn something new everyday!
INMCB, did you see Beyonce dancing her heart out? You're right; she is the best!
Yes, Hopeful..she is such a talent! She can sing, dance, and act like nobody's business. Plus, she is so beautiful.
Oh, wait...you mean Beyonce? I thought you were talkin about Christine! ;)
Well, I don't know Christine (well, I might -- I don't know peoples' secret identities), but I'm looking forward to seeing her perform:)
LOL. Yes, shhhhhh. I heard Christine dances like Beyonce at happy hour Thursdays. Roll the video tape:
It's funny . . . because I'm reading you two's post - Hopeful in H-town & INeedMoreCowBell - and I'm reading it in a whisper with a lot of hee, hee's - I need to go to bed - Good-nite, Girls!
Good morning. Wow, what a day yesterday! Bessie opened with 486 at 5:13 am and ianimal closed with 582 at 1:53 am.
96 posts for the day.
The night crew deserves a rest this morning.
Looks like a candle to me. Are you seeing my Rolling Rock bottle? BTW, love the sun!
Okay, this will make it easier to get closer to 600 - just add on!!
On the TWELFTH day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.....
TWELVE drummers drumming
10 Eagles dancing (that would be in the end zone)!
10 Lords a leaping? Is that correct?
Hmmmm, must be football season.
8 points from a TD and a 2 point conversion!
8 maids a milkin'
Okay, it used to be a Mia Bella Candle - now it should be purple flowers . . . what do you guys see now?
SueR: My records show that you're 602! I'm glad there's no money riding on these numbers, and now I'm going to stop my recordkeeping and just enjoy this fun thread.
I don't have an explanation as to why there's a difference between AOL and IE on your computers, but I changed the gravatar recently - so don't freak out that you're just seeing it now and had been seeing the candle forever . . . the flowers are new.
611....I cant wait to see what # we are up to when I get back home tonight....Keep up the FUN work all!!
: )
Do you think we can get to 700 today? It's definitely an in-the-house kind of day for me...
Anyhoo, SueB and Happy, I don't know about the weird gravatar problem, but it probably has to do with the browser you're reading through. I use IE and I have never seen Happy's candle -- only the flowers in her little girl's hand.
What I did notice is that Hockeymom's prior two posts, the first has no gravatar and the second has that sort of purpley triangle face thing that is connected to most of her posts.
Also, Happy, I am looking forward to Christine telling us at which upcoming HH she'll be doing her Beyonce-like act.
Oh, one more thing, and here's an interesting question to keep us going for the day: Did I reveal my gender at some point?
Good question, Hopeful. I think it was the card that made me think you were female . . . I'm sorry if my assumption was erroneous though.
Not telling yet...
Happy, re: watching TV and doing computer "work" at the same time -- yes, wireless laptop in the TV room. It can be a deadly combination, obviously not always a good thing, but it gets the job done so far...
I can't multi-task anymore - my brain's hard-drive is overloaded, but more power to you if you can!
Hopeful, based on your prior post, I would say female, BUT since you asked I am guessing that maybe you are not. Either or both doesn't matter to me I judge people by how they treat me and others.
STILL I ask, where is CUT & PASTE Jan? lol
So it's 7 ladies (or is it lords?) dancing (or is it a-leaping?) You're right, Clyde. It doesn't matter.
Seriously, 7 swans-a-swimming...
Good one, cbel.
Okay, I gotta go get some stuff done, but not before...
... 6 geese-a-laying.
are we at 5 G O L D rings yet?? in my best singing voice!
As for my gravatar....it was the one assigned to me..I must be doing something wrong cuz the pic I chose is not there still even after clearing my cache...sometimes I dont post with my link
Time for hockey....back tonight
#625 here! Woo hoo. Oh and the Giants are whooping up on Baltimore. Woo hoo again.
Paul G Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .
Ponderthis:
Put a lid on it!!!
An easy way to keep this thread going: what is your MOST favorite snack? Are you a sweet or salty person, and what specifically would you reach for?
No, Hopeful in H-town, not a vegetarian. I just morphed over to the Bob and Doug McKenzie version for a second...
http://www.twin-music.com/lyrics_file/christmas/humor/12a.html
marshmallow, I'm a cashew junkie... pistachios and peanuts are good, too, but given a choice, definitely the cashew.
Name as Osmond!
This could actually bring us to 28,000 tonight! ;)
JAY
(I'm leaving the more obvious ones open kids!)
Can someone explain to me the appeal of Dane Cook?
I have watched part of his stand-up act and suffered through a couple of his movies and I have yet to recognize any talent.
Yet, he is apparently making a good living for himself. I don't begrudge him any success, but I *am* having a hard time understanding it, lol.
This is fabulous! Are we now open for any topic whatsoever to keep this thread going?
Ponderthis: Look Out!
What's wrong with a tie, Calico? Should they go to a FG kicking contest after one period of OT?
Look on the bright side... if the Iggles are in playoff contention at the end of the year, you won't have to decipher those tiebreakers because no one will have the same record as Philly (-;
Doritos Do Rock!...I'm old school only like the nacho cheese kind...I hate when they mess with a food icon - What's up with the Doritos Hot Wings/Blue Cheese or something or other combo I saw...and such. Like Reese's Peanut Butter cups....don't mess with those - like adding caramel or making a white chocolate variety...I don't like change! :)
mmmmm-cool ranch doritos.
mmmmmmm-reese's peanut butter cups
mmmmmmmm-anything made by Entenmann's
I don't get Dane Cook either. They said he got 'popular' basically by being on Myspace and upping his friends. That would explain it.
Jeff Dunham new special on in 20 mins.
Mmmmmmmm. Entemanns.
Cook- word of mouth marketing, college campus shows, through internet, blogging, etc . . . I think he's obnoxious.
Hey, who's your fav comedian? I gotta say Mitch Hedberg really makes me laugh so does mitch fatel. My fav classic is eddie murphy delirious.
Salt- cool ranch doritos or cashews
sweet - peanut butter cups or choc cake and milk or double stuffed oreos and milk.
Extreme makeover makes me cry, EVERYTIME i hate it. Worse than Little House On the Prarie.
All-time favorite comedian from the old school would have to be Don Rickles (go figure, lol).
From my youth would be Richard Pryor with an honorable mention for Eddie.
Nowadays, Ron White is always good for a laugh and I've seen Artie Lange half a dozen times as well.
You guys remember Steven Wright? He cracks me up. And there's nothing like Steve Martin's album, "Let's Get Small." A comedy classic.
And, of course, ianimal, there's Bob and Doug McKenzie, eh?
I love salty and sweet: big fan of Lays Potato Chips -- the yellow bag. And Skittles, original flavors.
Reggie, you're so right. Carlin was hilarious.
Think we'll get to 700 tonight?
FYI... we blew away the Sarah Palin thread (473 posts) a long time ago... not that that's a reason to stop this one anytime soon.
Consider it a potpourri for any random nonsense invading your gray matter; this way you don't have to step on ther threads. Bring it over here, lol.
Carlin was a genius and politically very astute as well. I see a lot of me in him (-;
the anti christ is Obama, not me. 666 was an old roman leader nero's number of sorts. Also the mark of the beast from the water (politician) and the beast of the land (priest) in the book of revelations. Something like that.
"The Beast will come in the shape of a woman... most likely one holding a cupcake."
I don't know if that is how the scripture actually reads, but it should (-;
I got Redskins Cowboys on here.
Anyone see the moon tonight before the clouds covered it? It looked almost like an egg. I got this photo from "Tonight's Moon" on Flickr.
This is interesting....
http://www.religioustolerance.org/666a.htm
Cool picture. Arrrrrooooo.
I blame my magical 666 powers. The number of the beast is actually 616. ianimal who posted 616?
Wow...way to go everyone !! I am back and ready to help in the efforts
as for the sweet/salty love em both
Dove chocolate and Cashews, pistachios, pretzels
Ok...so who can help with the gravatar issues I am having?
Jim Gaffigan
Rickels
Carson
Jeff Dunham
Yes,Mitch was so funny.
Wright is so dry, it's hilarious.
Way too many to mention.
Saw an informercial this week on Dean Martin's old variety show. Vaguely remember as a child. So smooth, and funny, and what a dreamy voice. NOW I appreciate it. Great...a crush on a dead man.
Hockey mom, you need to sign in with an email address and post again.
No one knows what it is nor will they ever unless you click the envelope and send an email.
go! and well do the next step. HURRY!!!
LOL Reggie....I have been posting with my Email and it is this grumpy looking thing....I stopped posting with the email link. But for you I will do it again
I already cleared oout my IE cache so where do I go from here?
THANKS!!
Hey this could keep up going for hours !!
Anyone ever eat a bowl of chocolate ice cream by dipping hard pretzel pieces into it? Salty AND sweet...
Click in the upper right "sign up for"
put in your email address and wait for them to reply and confirm your address, follow the instructions in the email
Chocolate covered pretzels!! Perfect together, like NJ and you.
Definitely kicking 700 tonight. Excellent.
We can be the 700 Club! As you can imagine, the devil inside me is very excited about this! Remember the Seinfeld with Elaine acting like the devil with the priest and Puddy?
Your mother "sews socks" in Hell (I saw the Exorcist for the first time on network TV, LOL)
Seinfeld
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKvURliwsfY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-8GIEQjqW8&feature=related
I'll come over... we'll make out.
No, not you, Reggie... I was just quoting the show (-;
Well, reggie and Ian - must you take over this thread as well with your "evil" banter? Give it up children . . .
Yeah, that was a great Seinfeld episode. I think Puddy was the devil, as in the NJ Devils, and Elaine was the Madonna in white, and together they drove the priest insane. Something like that. Good stuff.
Ya really had me, I was about to unlock my door and light some glade ass scented candles and throw on Air Supply's Greatest Hits the "B Sides". Darn.
Puddy's great.
First off...Ianimal....what a great idea with the ice cream and pretzels!! yummmmmmmmm
Now, Reggie...I wonder if this makes a difference..lets see..I had to add numbers to my sign on and here I dont have them...would that do it?
Good job, guys - we hit 700!!!
I love the pretzels and ice cream idea too - gonna go have some right now.
empty your cookies.
you added numbers to you sign in? you mean like hockeymom616?
I'm ascared!!! lol, just kidding.
ianimal, correct me if I'm wrong, not that you ever need to ask permission before you correct someone.
Wait, wait, I can't get past Reggie's glade ass-scented candles and the Air Supply soundtrack. I need another ice cream sandwich... and maybe a pretzel.
Reggie I just made up an email and it gave me a pissed off grimace. member him and the fry guys? Now lets try diff sign in name and same email.
Yeah, the gravatar is connected to your email address; that's why you need the email address when you sign up for the gravatar. Go to it, Hockeymom. I'm looking forward to this image!
Ohhh my this is getting crazy tonight.....and I have to go to work for a while.... boooooo : (
Back later all
Glade sells ass-scented candles? Should Yankee be concerned? I've yet to see that particular variety in *their* arsenal, lol.
Favorite Yankee candle is Sunflower with my least favorite being Patchoulli. Stinks like Deadheads... lol, why on earth would anyone want their house to smell like a dirty, stinky hippie?
Doesn't work. They have to match. My niece has just started with the I'm ascared of pretzels in ice cream. I like grubs dipped in choc. taste like Mn'Ms.
HA!
Your comment has been posted!
It may not appear immediately due to our filtering process.
Reggie, your muffin girl (is that what that is?) was there a couple of posts ago...did your fake email address cause your real one to disassociate from your gravatar? Did you disable your gravatar?
Maybe it's that crazy moon behind the clouds.
I'm experimenting to help out hockey mom with her gravitar and messed it up. I think I got it now. Yeah! you can't change a thing or it wont let you post.
I cant stay away....I'm dooomed....It must be the moon, you are right Hopeful..
Thanks Reggie, guess I will be gravatarless : (
You can only post in any given thread from any given computer under a single identity... or at least that's how I understand Chris's policies against people agreeing with themselves under different aliases.
Where the hell is Dolly? I'm really starting to get concerned...
It's an adult school night! My cup cake is better because #1 it's not a pic of me, and #2 cuz the cupcake kid has been ignoring our questions about gravitars. Hoeful, you new to the forum?
I don't know about the cupcake, but Reggie cetainly looks as though that's the best cupcake she's ever seen! Hice smile!
Phil D. Phil! Where ya been? You didn't come to happy hour to meet Jenny! SHe was very upset!
WHAT!!! That's not you??? But then again I do look a little better than Dr. Phibes in my gravatar - not much though...
Reggie, I explained that somewhere in the other post. Unfortunately I sometimes get finished with work around 6 and since I work on the south side of town (by Leroy Brown, of course) even if I left soon after 6, I couldn't get there until a minimum 6:30 BOOO..
I'm new to this thread, but I've been in a number of other ones, such as favorite songs, etc. I tried to keep out of the political mess because I could see it was becoming a morass;-P
Glad you caught that typo, Reggie. I am no gardening tool, lol.
Yes, I'm new to the forum. I've lurked on and off for a while, but I got all riled up over the Hardwick incident and the march yesterday (especially because I couldn't go), so I started posting. I've been HL'ing all weekend, and not getting much done at all.
It's okay, though. I stay up late.
Oh yeah, this friday, everyone form the forum will be meeting for a moonwalk competition. And to send off Calico and her BF to Vegas for their wedding. :-)
http://www.hackettstownlife.com/forum/64307
Phil, I usually get there around 6-6:30 myself. Excuses, excuses!!!! He was bad though, leroy I mean.
Nice to meet ya hopeful!
"Badder than old King Kong, meaner than a junkyard dog"
If Tweed Schade & the Sogardaddies aren't on 'til 9, I'd have to miss them. Gotta get home to let my goofy dog out so he doesn't pee in his crate. Crate time starts about 6:30 AM and goes until I get home. Don't like to streeither. I know more excuses, but I probably can't make it to the sendoff, but will try to get to the next HL HH
Definitely don't stress your dog out, Phil.
Okay, now I gotta get some stuff done. You too, Hockeymom! We got well past 700 today. My work is done here.
'Nite all -- I think.
LOL Hopeful.....I left to work and came back to say good night all!....Please dont let this be the last of the night...
OK - to keep it going a bit while I wait for my clothes to finish drying - for comedians:
Jeff Dunham - he was on comedy central tonight and my dog kept jumping on me since I couldn't help but keep laughing nearly the whole show,
Chris Rush (manic humor - I have an Lp from the 80's that's crazy! http://laughstore.stores.yahoo.net/noname2.html
George Carlin - I saw him come out once and just stand there, every so often changing expressions and stances and the crowd went nuts with every move
Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton (including his Twilight Zone appearance).
Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Lucille Ball, Bill Cosby - early years of the lps, Arlo Guthrie
Abbot and Costello!!!
Did anyone else notice that many modern sitcom trace their roots back to "The Honeymooners" and if not that, then "The Lucy Show"??? "Family Matters", one of my favorites took from both.
Jan's still here, Clyde. You can visit her (or is it him?) on Thanksgiving Day Turk'y.
cbel
Good one cbel, She just hasn't posted on this thread, maybe not nasty enough for her
Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .

Put a lid on it!!!
Ponderthis
Ponder tell the guy with the gun to your head, that made you come here to put it down. Also thanks for adding to this thread
Go Giants..
NFL refs you suck......that was a TD and Pitt beat the spread!
After 1 OT it should be one more.....and more.....leave everything in the field...
last post!
Rebecka about to start some laundry....quick question do you wash your fruit (apples, oranges) if you are going to peel and eat it? I love this thread...great for questions that aren't worthy of a top post!
yes, because if you are peeling in your hand and your hand touches the peel and then touches the inside of the fruit you can cross the germs that way. So yes
It's afternoon already !! This day is going waaay to fast....Hope everyone is having a good day....
I would wash both hands and peel...not only crossing germs but the insecticides may end up on your hands then on the fruit
Hello By the way !
The Griswolds on Arthur Terrace were hard at work yesterday, lol... no offense, if Clark is a regular on here. It's a nice display, if slightly over the top (-;
Okay, there's a pet peeve of mine (for the Cranky thread). Why put up Xmas decorations before Thanksgiving? In the old days, it was random when they went up, but it was certainly after Thanksgiving. Then, they stayed up until Little Christmas, Jan. 5th or 6th, when the three kings came. Something like that. I forget my religious history.
I am generally opposed to putting decorations before the intervening holiday. But then again, I like candles in the windows all year, and maybe people don't like that.
Love candles in the windows all year...cept my cat was knocking them off the sills to get into the windows....LOL I agree lest not rush things! One holiday at a time
Speaking of "slightly over the top" decorations - have any of you ever seen the guy in Dover off Mt. Hope Ave???
All I can say is wow to the place in Dover. My daughter and I went last year. Not a place to park on the street but def. worth the ride around a few times. There was a past thread about decorations last year I believe.anyone??
My dad always puts his lights up before Thanksgiving before it gets too cold. He doesn't turn them on though. As for us....we don't put any up, BAH HUMBUG!
BT Resident although the Dover house is nice its MINOR LEAGUE compared to the Elvis House in Mahwah. I have been there a number of times and it is unbelievable. Here's a link to see pics
http://www.williammaloney.com/Misc/Christmas/2004/ElvisHouseInMahwah/ElvisHouse.htm
Hey, I'm post 789...Why was 7 afraid of 9? Because 7 ate (8) 9...I know...lame, sorry!
Duh, that was lame Beanz...what do you do for an encore?
Horse walks into a bar...the bartender says "why the long face?" Ba dump dump :)
Anyone ever play the "Battle of the Sexes" board game. We played that at game night at our friends the other night....really lame.
Peanut Butter Jelly Time...
Peanut Butter Jelly Time...
Peanut Butter Jelly Time.......
So Michelle you have seen it? Isn't it great? my friend lives about 2 blocks away, only problem for the people who live there is the traffic. First time I went it was about an hour wait in a line of cars
Yikes! nearly an hour since the last post. Can't let it go drifting off my screen...to 900 tonight?
Yikes!! At this rate, Clyde, I think we'll hit 2000 by Thanksgiving - next week!
Prizes, prizes, we need prizes!
sockmania Ok happy2 lets shoot for 100,000
Proud to be a Hackettstown Life Poster of Nothing Thread
Prizes? There are real prizes? I'm still packed and waiting for my tickets to Hawaii, CLYDE!
You know, I've been thinking . . . I think the prize is in the sharing.
I've gotten to know more of you guys individually and in the nicest of ways since this thread started. Hopefully, that's a prize we all share . . .
Waiting for confirmation cbel, with the economy being what it is the Committee had to lay off about 20 people so prize hand-outs are slightly behind. thats sounds good, doesn't it lol
WOW!!! to the house in Mahwah!! What's so beautiful, too, is how neat and organized and pristine it is, not a lot of random lights, etc.
Think I'll take the ride this year.
I'm originally from Brooklyn and my granparents lived in Dyker Heights, now famous for its decorations. I grew up there!!!
Enjoy....

Gosh guys I am tired reading all these posts.
I had a bad day. Anyone care to give me a back rub!
Geez, back rub requests...foot rub requests...
Can someone rub me the wrong way? ;)
Calgon take me away......................
By jove, I think I got it! Think we can hit 900 by midnight? The night is young...
Hey... Hope it's not too late to join this wild and crazy fratenity of locals with nothing better to do than type messages about nothing to a giant group of total strangers with hopes that we can be the first to reach the "new" goal of the minute for the highest posting number. Am I in? Am I in? Am I in? Huh.......huh.........huh? Ooooh...pick me... pick me!
Justasking, I'm here, and I should be on and off for the next several hours.
Looking for Christine, Hockeymom, ianimal (maybe when he gets back from his birthday dinner), Phil D., Reggie, Calico, happy2bhere, INeedMoreCowBell -- and you! -- later.
Way cool, Beanzer! I don't know what time I was born and I don't think there's any way to find out. Do you know your time?
Sure, see - you're not a total nobody...now, you're a total somebody with nothing better to do than add to this insane thread.
Total nobody, you've got my vote, but I'm one of the new kids on the block. You jest, but it is kind of fun if you're working on the infernal machine, anyway...
Welcome Nobody!
cbel, if you get a copy of your birth certificate, it's listed. I asked my mom and she just said "early morning?" which is listed on my birth certificate as "4:37am"
If I had had a baby at 4:37am, I'd have said "in the middle of the night!"
Shoot, I missed cbel and Beanzer. Maybe we'll see the words of a lot of folks tonight.
cool, I did it...how many of us were trying to match the post to the time? weird, huh!?
Whew! I just finished reading this entire thread! Talk about nothing better to do. Do I fit in yet? Have you all finished hazing? Where do I sign? Do I get a shirt?
H in H-town: Can we hit 900? Piece of cake. The HL night crew has no equals. I am in awe of them.
This is great!! I would like to hear about Matter's. They were still working on the outside this afternoon...
Jac's mom cbel I was born at 3:19 am...not sure if it's on my birth certificate...my mom would write it on the calendar every year
Present and accounted for!
(*I'm in front of Dancing with the Stars..changing to Two and a Half Men)
we'll have to see if you're older or younger than me...just by minutes or hours, let's not get into the years! :)
Finally I can post....I am here! I made it back.....Hello to all and a great Monday evening to you all....
Don't ya just hate when we cant post?
Keep it going !
Yeah, that was weird. Haven't been on long enough to see that. I thought we'd hit some kind of limit on posts. Whew!
Hi Everyone! Back from my class - I'll be on for a few hours . . . I can see I'm in great company!
Total nobody: Do you get a shirt? You get just what MB got at the PAL Tricky Tray .. a big fat nothing. But you do have a hell of a lot of fun, which beats a shirt every time.
Only drawback is that once you get in, you NEVER get out.
Hello, ladies -- and everyone! Here rooting for the Bills -- sorry Calico.
FWIW (very little, I know), I was born at 10:52 am. My mother calls me every year on my birthday at that exact time. She'd be good for this forum -- too much time on her hands:)
Go! BIlls.....are they still getting snow showers there? Friend of mine is heading that way tomorrow...
Cbel...now that I AM in I know I want to STAY!
Hello and welcome Someone....but do beware...once in you may never escape! ( said in my most devious voice )
Cbel....I am so not young and proud of it too
someone whose been there..
SURE!!!
This is for EVERYONE who reads the forum.
Some of us are just more ...well, blabbery or type faster than others. ;)
Welcome
Now I'm scared :-). This was too tempting to just sit back and watch all the fun everyone was having and not join in...
882 - I wonder what the record is for most posts on a thread? Chris . . . where are you?
I thought we might see ianimal's words tonight. I'm really wondering how the new Mattar's is.
We will definitely hit 900 within 24 hours -- I believe 800 was ianimal's post at 3:06 pm today.
Welcome to Someone and Nobody!
Alright, 883 - and it's 11:00 - Good nite, people and don't let the bed-bugs bite . . .
I'd like to see 900 by midnight -- 58 minutes to go. Phil D, Hockeymom, Cowbell, where'd you go?
I hate work nights! I never get to join in on the fun!
My otgher computer crashed finally. o looks like I am without one all day tomorrow as hubby will take this one.
Ooh, Christine, that stinks! Tomorrow, take a break and go over to the library!
We can definitely do it, Hockeymom. We're almost there now!
Yeah, I took a whole hour off the computer tonight -- go figure! Laundry, kids' bedtime, dishwasher, etc.
Okay, where's that night owl Phil D? S/he closed the shop last night.
This is my last contribution to the cause. My eyes are closing. Nite all.
P.S. Where is Justasking? She can't be asleep.
I saw a post from Phil on another thread. I have been busy catching up with work tonight but on and off throughout. It is quiet here now....My TIME !! Too bad I have more work to do
Nite, cbel! Great job.
Yeah, I've got work to do, too, but trying to get snippets done here and there while also watching the Bills try to come back against the Browns. Just like the Washington/Dallas game last night. Ugh.
I was just going to ask you about the game..you did not see what I wrote earlier I guess.... Hope they can come back.
My typing tonight is horrid
Oh so close......mussssst type morrrrre.
(gosh,so childish, isn't it? I bet Chris has to delete alot of old forum threads to make room for this nonsense...) LOL
Sorry, Hockeymom, I didn't see that. It is not snowing in Buffalo right now, but those guys look pretty cold...
Racing...puff puff...where's Reggie? I can't make the homestretch to 900! Where's Phil D?
Oh and HAPPY Birthday to Ian tonight!
Great, cbel! With one eye open and two fingers on the keyboard:)
Now back to work for me -- well, kinda.
If I smoked (which I don't) and if I had a lighter (but I don't...see point A)...I'd be waving it in the dark room with a Elton John type song on (but I don't like him, either)
Boy, sucks to be me, right now.
I'll just wave on to someone else....come on!!!
hockeymom, Chris is the moderator...his avatar (pic) is eating a cupcake.
(he must love us right now...lol)
Good Night Hope....I am still working but fading...almost time to call it a night
I am hoping for no snow tomorrow ..I have to drive alot and hate driving in snow....
Hockeymom, Bills are about to score, losing 26-20 with 2.5 minutes left in game.
I am, as ever, Hopeful, that the Bills will win and that there will be no snow tomorrow.
1,000 Christine you say?
I dare you!!
I double dog dare you!
(it's that time of year that I can say that...)
I will leave the 100 mark to Ineed and Christine My fingers are done typing for the night..almost
Night all..Thanks for the "no snow, hope" Hope LOL GN
Bills lead, 27-26. Two minutes left.
30% chance of snow showers tonight and in the morning, according to www.weather.com.
Ugh.
I recorded my hubby snoring and he woke up. ROTFLMAO! Now he is mad. BUT DAM I cant sleep with it. Darn italian nose.
Browns lead 29-27, on Phil Dawson's 56-yard field goal. Ugh again.
Hi Phil -- I bet Erik's page is pretty interesting.
Christine, that is pretty darn funny!
Here's something I noticed (aka TRIVIA!!!) that I've never seen anyone mention.
While I work on Newburgh Rd., there is also a Newburg Rd. (no "H") in town, not only that, but it's connected to the other Newburgh Rd. If you look at the road sign at the "Walgreens" intersection, you'll notice that while the side going from rt. 57 towards Grand is Allen rd., the other side is marked "Newburg" (No "H").
However, on the other side of that same road where it meets Schooley's Mt. Rd. you'll find that the sign reads "Newburgh" (with an "H"). I once saw the map of Hackettstown in the Post Office next to the Postmaster's Door (before it was taken down during the construction) and that map showed it without an "H".
I think that as soon as you cross the river onto the Morris county side, the road name changes to reflect that. I don't think the house that was torn down where Walgreen's is now had a Newburg address, but had the mailbow on Rt 57, but I'm not sure.
Does anyone know if Allen Rd. was renamed from Newburgh Rd. to begin with?
Just an odd thing I wondered about.
Wow, how am I typing this when I'm kicking a field goal???
I must be exceptionally talented. Oh wait, my last name isn't "Dawson". Yes, Erik's page is quite interesting, including his weblog and education and work. Quite a fellow I presume.
I never noticed the Newburgh Road sign issue, and I don't know the history there at all. Although I've often noticed spelling errors on road signs on the same street. Of course, I can't think of any examples right now.
Unfortunately, the Bills missed their own shot at a game-winning field goal -- a shorter one than yours, Phil -- so they lost.
Just saw this woman on Letterman talking about how she got attacked by a fox in a canyon (out west, I believe) -- crazy story.
Hmm. Usually foxes don't attack people unless they have rabies or you're trying to get it to come to you so you can feed it.
I'd be nervous about Mountain Lions out in the west. Now that'll ruin an afternoon hike!
Yeah, she said it was rabid. She said it smelled of skunk and the animal control person said the fox might have been feeding on a dead skunk.
Okay, now there's some gross late-night stuff. I guess that's why she was on Letterman...
Can't believe this is still going. Good Morning everyone...Hope everyone has a good day
Good Tuesday Morning all.......... Nice work last night after I left you guys. So happy to see things are chuggin along here. Have a great morning all....
That story about the woman was truly amazing...How she managed to get in wrapped in her sweatshirt and into the trunk....
keeping coming back to see how it's going. I think we could hit 1000 today. What say everyone
Hi everybody. I'm getting a late start this morning. Yesterday we had 178 posts so hitting 1000 today should be a piece of cake. You gotta love the team effort!
Afternoon time ! Hello everyone.....it has been awhile since the last post..anyone out there??
I am in the middle of a very busy day, but just thought I'd say hello. I'll be on again later, no doubt...
Nice to see everyone. Just finished lunch here. Tuna with a few crackers...I really need to get to the store. I am out of everything !
Piece of pumpkin bread with cream cheese, granola bar, banana, cranberry juice. I could really use a hot slice of mushroom pizza and a beer, though...Maybe for supper. Or is it dinner? That would definitely be a supper. Okay, back to work.
41 more and we hit the magic number 1000 Life is really bad when this is the most exciting thing I'm looking forward to or then mabye not.
THis is like an episode of Sienfeld.... a thread about nothing, a mega-hit, a thread that last for years and years!!
I am staying out of the other threads, justintime yelled at me.
Its friendly in here and relaxed.
Just kidding with you justintime, if everyone agreed on all matters, the world would be boring. As long as it doesn't get personal its just good banter.
NOW BACK TO NOTHING POSTS
LOL
Hey! I didn't yell at you, Clyde! Different opinion is all! If I did, YOU WOULD KNOW IT!!!!!!!!
Besides, only MY opinion counts anyway! It's all about ME-ME-ME you know! ;)
yes I know its about YOU-YOU-YOU lol
Does anyone play on Pogo.com???
Thanx Jill I was wondering just that
I always played on Pogo - Word Whomp was my favorite - but my computer crashed and it won't work on my daughters laptop. I miss Pogo : (
SueR: I'm bringing your Superman/Seinfeld comment over to this thread where every post counts. Was Superman really referenced all the time on Seinfeld? I don't remember.
It's almost like waiting for the odometer go to all zeros, or waiting for the ball to drop at midnight on New Year's Eve.
We won't have to wait too long it every posts right now!
What kind of computer are you using? I'm using an HP laptop.
Evening everyone ! I am back and ready to help get to 1000...This really is exciting in an odd way! LOL
After reading the posts on Pogo I think I will have to try it, but not before we get to that magical number tonight...
Dinner is done and I still want chocolate.....oh well dont get everything we want do we?
Only you probably won't get anything cbel. I don't seem to have any luck lobying for an "I was # 1000!" shirt.
holy cow. i don't get a chance to come back here for a day and we are UPPP THEERRREEEE!!!!
We have been buuuuusy jive! I do have to get some work done tho...I will check back...
Is there a prize for this one? I'm not going for it myself because I believe Clyde will get my tickets to Hawaii as soon as he possibly can.
Unbelievable - someone call Guiness or drink some to celebrate - either way, it's great!
Gosh this takes forever to load with all these posts. Good Luck to the big 1000 winner.
only 9 more to go...woooo hooooo
Fire, if you click in the number instead of the topic it brings you to near the end of the list !!
firefly, you are so right, its just takes long to load it up from the forum topics list to this thread because its so big.
CJ Then I will go with you to Hawaii and you can come with me to Europe or is it the Superbowl??
I was logging in to post about going over 1,000 when the thread was redirected to youtube... ha ha ha!
HAPPY 1000+ POSTS!!!! Ticker tape falling - ball dropping - everyone hugging and kissing, laughing and crying !!!!!!!
Mua, mua, mua - to all you lovely people - it's been a pleasure getting to know you, work with you and spend time with you in such a fun, innocent and happy way!
We may have to start a new thread though . . . this Utube thing may be a hint. ;O)
I was laughing so hard about the you tube link. Chris deinitely has a sense of hum, but its not stopping me.
Had a day from hell so I need a good laugh bring it on!
Christine AWWWWW Christine, sorry to hear about the rough day. Passing you a glass filled with whatever it is you would like to relax with!
Wow, thanks, Jill, for the workaround. Nicely done. However, I am a fan of Rick Astley and that song, so I was pleasantly surprised by the turn of events. Do we know yet who did it?
Congratulations, everyone! You have had a busy day!
FYI, for supper, just had half a Gobbler sandwich from Hackettstown Sandwich Shoppe. It was excellent. The pizza and beer will have to wait for another night.
Hey Hopeful...wondering when you might show up! Glad for the link too. Not everyone is using it tho..
I want pizza and beer now !!
Yeah, but now when you post, you have to refresh that view rather than clicking on Forum again, as I usually do. (Which, now that I think about it, was probably dumb, but it does let me see what's going on in other posts, I guess.)
I didn't get the chance to get to the computer all day till now...wow, you guys were busy. I went to Hackettstown Sandwich Shoppe today...got the Buffalo Chicken wrap...it rocked! I was using ChapStick all day due to the buffalo sauce! :)
It was CJ. After long research, CJ IS THE 1000 Post. Good Job CJ, your the man (or the woman) Ballons are still falling
News Flash!! The Neverending Thread appears to have been relieved of its link to the Rick Astley video.
Gotta love it . . . it's back to business as usual - you guys rock. Let's shoot for 2000 - c'mon, wadda ya say?!?
I'm in! Whew! Feeling better not having to go to the rogue link anymore. However, I bookmarked it, just in case:)
I stole my husbands laptop since mine has a virus problem AGAIN!
A MAC is looking better everyday.
So whats new? LOL
Just kidding did notice all the posts.
Looks like the pressure is off for tonight. May we all have a good night's sleep. See you in the morning.
Night, cbel, and congratulations to CJ! I guess Rick Astley was the prize...
I'm still up, as usual. Wonder how long it will take to get to 2000? It took just shy of two weeks to get to the first 1K.
Did anyone catch the U.S. All-Star Jump Rope Team and The Peking Acrobats on "Ellen's Really Big Show" tonight? That's some crazy stuff.
Thanks.
I like to thank all the people that posted before me to help me reach this milestone. I couldn't have done it without you. Now on to the academy awards. lol I wish
Quick story if you have time. I was here at work and it kept saying my post wasn't long enough. Then after I posted I saw it went over 1000 on the forum list. When I tried to get access back to this topic the filter at work blocked it. So I didn't know if I was 1000 or someone else. A few hours later and here I am.
Here is one to help you guys get to 2000.
And it is a HE lol
Stay safe good night and buckle up.
Here's the wikipedia link about Rick Astley and "Rick Rolling"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling
Just in case anyone was wondering...
Early morning just got to work and checked and we have reach the magic number and more next 2000???
Have a nice day everyone.
Can't believe it's this cold. Every morning I pass this person bicycling on Waterloo Road, and their they where this morning I don't know if it's a man or woman it's to dark to tell but I give this person a lot of credit whoever you are!
So what does it really mean when you're the last one to post?lolBTW love this cold weather!! Let it Snow!
When the thread reached 1000, did anyone else have balloons, and confetti fall from their ceiling out of nowhere? Or was it just at my house?
SueR? That didn't happen at your house? Also what makes you think it was drinking lol
Is there a prize for this one? I'm not going for it myself because I believe Clyde will get my tickets to Hawaii as soon as he possibly can.
cbel
cbel: KEEP HOPE ALIVE
I tooted my New Year's horn off my balcony at Mansfield Village. Did anyone hear me?
Clyde: Leos are optimists, so I'm ever hopeful, not even so much for me, but Justasking SO wants to go.
Hi Clyde - it happened at my house . . . I wrote you guys about it - see
HAPPY 1000+ POSTS!!!! Ticker tape falling - ball dropping - everyone hugging and kissing, laughing and crying !!!!!!!

2,000 by T-Day, piece of cake. I expect to see that you guys are over 2,000 when I get back from Vegas.
ood Morning all!
Lts hope I dont catch anymore viruses on this crappy puter!
Enjoy the day!
I was going to ask Jill if she's a sadist, but if you all think 2000 by Thanksgiving is a piece of cake, then I'm in!
BF tried to post in this thread the other night. He typed his comment, changed the name from Calico696 to his "handle" and changed the e-mail address from mine to his in order to have his own gravatar that he made. He kept getting an error saying that he could not post because someone else had posted from the same computer. Does he then need to use my e-mail address instead of his? If so, then he can't have his own gravatar? Not sure of these answers....anyone know.
Yes, he can have his own gravatar and post under his own name. However, you can't both post to the same thread from the same computer. You can post in separate threads though.
Let's go people... this thread isn't going to extend itself. Three hours lost... we need to pick it up if we're gonna get to 2008 for Turkey Day.
Went to Macy's on lunch today...........what a zoo!!! Thought people were supposed to be broke? The registers lines were 12 people or more deep. Thank goodness I was just returning something at the jewelry counter.
Sound like BF, he's very cheap (more so with himself than towards me or his family). His favorite saying is "if it's free it's for me".
Man, not liking these extended scheduled maintenance sessions...
I think we can definitely get to 2K by T-giving. We had 100 posts in less than 12 hours a couple of times over the weekend didn't we?
Regarding the Seinfeld and Superman question: My friend is one of the most learned Seinfeldists I know. He says that Superman is not referenced in every episode -- he's not sure how many, but it's certainly fewer than 10. I hope he'll be getting back to me on this.
However, he gave me another piece of Seinfeld trivia: In how many episodes do we see Puddy? And no fair checking imdb.com. Try to guess.
Let's see...
There's the NJ Devils face-painting episode, the one where Jerry's buying a car and someone steals George's candybar, Jesus fish/ Elaine's going to hell episode (or was that part of teh Devils episode), the one where Puddy and Elaine break up on vacation and fight the whole flight home...
That's all I've got off of the top of my head, but I'll bet i'm missing a couple, so...w.a.g.: 6.
Evening Everyone ! Glad to see we can post again. Anyone know why that happened? I never was a Seinfeld watcher so I can even guess.
On another note...sure is COLD out there...snow dusting for tomorrow?
Looks like I have to join the night crew tonight. I actually got a life today, but I sure did miss you guys.
SueR: I wondered about Puddy being sponge-worthy, too. He sure wouldn't have been for me!
"Commenting is disabled"? That was ominous.
1150 tonight might be ambitious, but we can easily crack 1100, maybe 1125.
I don't think Puddy was in the sponge-worthy episode. Good guess, ianimal. Maybe I'll include the final answer in my 1 am post.
Lets see I had a better day finally got heat in the store. Been out since the famous snow storm.
Did some window decorating but just couldnt put the tree up.
So I do need some advice.
Lets take a poll. Do I decorate normal in my window. Tree and some lights etc. OR should I decorate with ALL my M&M collection.
Let the poll BEGIN!
Hi Cbel...and welcome to the night shift...get those fingers ready for typing tho !
Christine...I think the lights and all the M&M stuff....
Just went on Continental and airfare to Hawaii is less then $550 per person for a week. My friend lives over there. He says that businesses are really hurting and giving away stuff just to get some type of income in. Who wants to babysit two sometimes wonderful kids (for free)???
M&Ms, definitely, Christine. I do need to know which store is yours, though. I'm too new to be in the know.
Right now watching iCarly with my son. It's kinda funny. Later I'll be watching Seinfeld, of course. And probably some sports in between. Whatever's on ESPN is on in my house during normal peoples' pre-bedtime.
I say decorate with trees and lights - Hersheys may be offended if you do the M&M thing... (you know how easily anyone gets offended these days).
I'm with the M&M theme, too, Christine... my favorite decorations growing up were the Santa-themed Coca-Cola mirrors, ornaments and other memorabilia my parents collected; they have quite a collection.
Okay so that is 2 for M&M and 2 for regular decorations.
NEED more input people.................
calico... just heard on ESPN that Moose is calling it a career. Borderline Cooperstown, you'll have to wait and see.
that's 3 for M&Ms, Christine... maybe you should have your accountant handle this (-:
I think Puddy *was* in the sponge-worthy episode. He wasn't the guy Elaine was dating at the beginning, but I think they got back together toward the end of the episode.
However, a lot of my Seinfeld memories are "hazy", so take that with a grain of salt...
OH I see I missed Calicos. It didnt show up when I counted. Dam filtering system.....:)
Oh by the way I counted my storage bins with my M&M collection. 12 lg bins, 4 sm bins 3 lg bins with Christmas M&M's. Think my window is big enough for all?
My store is Second Time Around 124 Main St. Near the Antique Dealers across from Dominoes.
Need more votes people.
M&M for me
Joeguy, yes you can post almost anything on this thread and you cant be wrong.
Let me pose the question again for everyone if they are not reading.
I am not sure waht I should decorate my window in this year for the Holiday. Should I do normal decorations, tree with ornaments etc. or I was thinking my M&M collection with a tree.
Vote now!
Wasn't Puddy also in the episode where the dentist Tim Watley had the party? He was wearing a fur coat and his "job" was to keep Jerry away from the music.
The coat got thrown out the window and Newman found it in a tree and gave it to the landlord's wife... then Jerry had to pretend it was his and he also had the "European carry-all" (purse) and the landlord thought he was a fancy-boy, lol... great episode.
According to my count there is 4 for M&M's and 1 for regular Christmas...My vote for lights and M&ms counts doesn't it?
I would like to see a window decorated very simply, with a Christmas tree, and maybe some Christmas music extending outside. Elegence and reverance in simplicity.
I figured Moose would retire. Being under 300 in wins might hurt his chance at the Hall.
ianimal, that is definitely one of the Puddy episodes. My friend has not gotten back to me yet RE: sponge worthy.
We could aim for 1200 tonight; we're gonna get to 1150 for sure.
Go team!
This thread is complete friggin' chaos, lol... I love it; everything always needs to be so structured and proper.
Anarchy in the HL... it's comin' some time, might as well.
Really. Television, Mike Mussina, Seinfeld, Christmas decorations, sports, dogs and cats living together. Mass histeria!
My favorite Puddy line (other than "I'll come over, we'll make out" - nothing can top that, lol) is "Yeah... that's right."... just his deadpan delivery makes it outrageous. My friends and I still use it all the time, lol.
Who's hosting Thanksgiving and who is going to family? Anyone going out to eat?
Myself....Out of town family in. Starting to cook this weekend!
Justasking: I almost posted "No one gets out alive." What am I turning into? I'm going to sit back and breathe for a few minutes.
You gotta love Puddy. When he and Elaine were talking to the priest, who told them they were BOTH going to hell, didn't he say, "That is bogus!" I'm a big fan of Patrick Warburton.
Too bad about Moose, though.
Come on, folks. We've got work to do. Surely you're all back from putting kids to bed, cleaning up in the kitchen, folding laundry.... well, I gotta go do some of that now. Be back.
BTW Why is it not udpating to the true posts so far.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Goodness, you folks have been busy. Don't think I can add too much tonight since Ihave lots of other things that were already on the agenda.
In the long run Christine it is YOUR store. Decorate it the way you want to. I am sure there is nothing ho hum about your traditional Christmas window at all. In this day and age There is alot to be said for going back to traditional ways. Keeping that in mind....some Christmas M&Ms peeking around the tree or whatever would be cute too !
Ain't I a big help LOL
OK, what is up with HL tonight...something seems off??
Can someone post a summary of what's been posted in here? I don't feel like reading the 1000+ posts to catch up? ... man, I'm lazy
monaco monaco, that is a tall order. Just this evening, this thing has been all over the place. Christine is soliciting suggestions for decorating her store (Second Time Around, got it), Calico wants to know what people are watching tonight, ianimal announced that Mike Mussina is retiring, we are wondering if he'll get into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and I am harassing people (mostly ianimal) about Puddy from Seinfeld.
What would you like to talk about? Name it.
Oops. Missed Hockeymom's post about Thanksgiving. We're staying home, just having a few friends over. We might even forego the big turkey for a couple of turkey breasts. I guess we're lazy. Looking forward to some pies, though.
Yes Monaco and I am having a nice conversation with Jan on another thread. :)
Hockeymom, Im going to hubby's cousins since I just made a Thanksgiving dinner a week ago for Fla family visiting. As a matter fact I am still full! :0
Hi Hope and thanks for responding. I was starting to think I was invisible....it has been mostly Seinfeld here tonight and I cant contribute to that....
Its an early night for me.....have fun all and please keep it going well into the wee hours.
1147.......weird but it went back to 1099.
Oh well goodnight guys falling asleep.............
Looks like the day crew (me included) is signing out. Time to do your thing, night crew.
Goodnight you guys. If you have a chance after you brush your teeth, come on and say hi. Or, you know, if you get up in the middle of the night.
1175 would be good, but 1200 is going to be tough, I think.
Well, I'm just popping in for a minute - I'm actually on my way to bed myself.
I vote Christine goes with the M&M deco . . .
Oh, and Thanksgiving will be at my old neighbor (as in used to live next to each other - not that she's ancient or anything) house. We hosted last year, this year it's their turn - looking forward to only having to make pies instead of the whole shebang.
Wow, it's only one week away - Thanksgiving that is!
Good Night, People!
BTW, Hockeymom, what are you making for Thanksgiving? What are you cooking this weekend?
Others?
yikes. sleeping people. my turn.
Not including the two-part finale show, Puddy was in 9 Seinfeld episodes: "Fusilli Jerry," "Face Painter," "Butter Shave," "The Voice," "Junk Mail" "The Apology" "The Dealership" "Reverse Peephole" and "The Burning."
Good morning everyone, boy it looks like everyone was busy last night. Hope you all have a nice day.
Good morning. Boy, Hopeful, you sure made a great effort last night. Now it's your turn to rest up for awhile.
Good morning. I'm so glad Mussina decided to retire and go out on top. I can't stand when athletes keep going and going (like this tread) and essentially make "fools" out of themselves.
Alisonchocolatier Anybody listen to WDHA? It's the only station I can get in my office. They drive me crazy....seems like they play the same songs over and over. Not necessarily the top hits either. Tired old Pink Floyd songs, the same ones every day about 5 times!!! Ugggh!
Good Chilly Thursday All !
I see things went well here last night. Hopeful...way to go stretching it out !
As for what I am making this weekend...I thought I would get the cranberry sauce made and out of the way. I am also making my grandmother's secret recipe for ............oh wait...it's a secret I cannot tell....It will take me most of the weekend tho. IF I have time I am going to make a batch of cookies. Since the family will be here the beginning of the week I need to have stuff for everyone to eat and not just for Thanksgiving !
Did anyone see that large Green light in the sky last night, that kept changing colors, from green to yellow, then purple. I could also hear very faintly Hendrix music coming from it.
JUST CHECKING lol
I received this in an email and thought it was a great idea..if anyone else does please take the time to send one too
GREAT IDEA!!

Has anyone checked out the Puppycam yet?
http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.45.swf?cid=317016
Live feed of 6 puppies in California...they are so cute. Apparently this is an internet sensation. My friend forwarded me the link the other day, they are adorable. It's fun to check in at different times during the day to see them sleeping and playing.
Geek mode on.
The 3 numbers that make up my birthdate are all prime numbers (only when using the two-digit form of the year). Is this true for anyone else and can you do me one better by having the 4-digit year a prime number as well?
You would need to have been born in one of the following years for this to be possible: 1901 1907 1913 1931 1933 1949 1951 1973 1979 1987 1993.
Geek mode off.
Thanks for the feed of the puppies. I heard that it won't be there much longer as they have all been adopted. Checking it out now!
Huh??? That type of math is not my strong point. I prefer the puppies....no brainer :)
the puppies all ran out of their "box" LOL my luck...as for the math...way tooo early for me
ianimal? Your asking a guy who sees a large Green light in the sky last night, that kept changing colors, from green to yellow, then purple, to figure that out lol
If there is such a thing as Reincarnation, I want to come back as THEY. Because THEY seem to know everything and everyone listens to them
You know what THEY say?
THEY say its supposed to be cold today
THEY say this team should win
THEY say the food there is good
There IS such a thing as reincarnation, Clyde. Anyone who sees big green lights in the sky (that keep changing colors, no less) surely can believe in it.
Just playing Devil's Advocate, cbel, where do all the extra souls come from?
Because there are a lot more people on the planet than there were even 50 years ago, let alone 3,000 years ago.
Prime months: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11
Prime dates: prime months plus 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31
Prime years: prime dates plus 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97
Now, everyone can play along (-;
Uh you forgot a pretty significant prime number....
The number 1 itself.
Which also allows me to meet you prime birthdate criteria.
Agust I came back after coffee ready to answer Ianimals ponder and he now has the hints....
All that thought on my part for nothing....LOL
Nope...no primes in mine
Ummm.... sure, I suppose. But, it's odd that when people are hypnotized and regressed into past lives, they're always Napoleon or Alexander the Great, never a three-toed sloth.
I happen to be a Frisbyterian... I believe that when you die your soul goes up and gets stuck on a roof somewhere.
"But, it's odd that when people are hypnotized and regressed into past lives, they're always Napoleon or Alexander the Great, never a three-toed sloth"
Very similar line spoken by Kevin Costner in Bull Durham (one of my favorite movies).
Does anyone else have kids that's into that Twilight book series? I'm taking my daughter to the movie at midnight tonight...(ugh)..no sleep for me
The puppies are in full swing now.
Here's the link again...for those too lazy to scroll up ;-)
http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.45.swf?cid=317016
My birth month is a prime No. As for rincarnation anything is possible but the probability rates are not to great. If I could come back I don't have a clue of what I would like to be, I'm having enough trouble trying to figure this life out......
This thread reminded me of one of the most beautiful books I've ever read about why we are here .. the Little Soul and the Sun,
written by Neale Donald Walsh, author of Conversations with God.
Please check it out on Amazon.com. I read it again just now (only 17 pages) and it still gets to me.
Christine, I vote for the M&M decorations! How's everyone been doing? Almost 2 days and I haven't had the chance to get on the computer!
"Just playing Devil's Advocate, cbel, where do all the extra souls come from?"
One could argue that, based on the moral standards we now live under, those souls do not exist and there are many people who are only empty shells! lol.
Uh - Oh: 2 hours and only 3 posts...yikes! C'mon people wake up, don't you have anything better to do! :)
Max Nice flurry in the morning; what's up? We need a good question, but ianimal had the audacity to post his favorite city question in a separate thread!
Ummm, how about -- what unusual Thanksgiving or winter holiday traditions do you follow?
I pledge allegiance... to this thread... of the Forum of Hackettstown Life... and to the inanity... for which it stands... one forum... under Chris... indefatigable... with vapidity and nonsense for all.
I can't believe there haven't been any comments on the puppies!!!
http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.45.swf?cid=317016
I, for one, LOVED the puppy cam! Sorry, I saw it this morning, sent it on to my animal lovin' friends, and had to leave for most of the day! Thanks, Calico - it's great!
They are so cute, I can hardly stand it. I check in on them every couple hours or so.
Brings back memories of when this guy was that size! (Not for long, though! lol)
Mmmmmm. It's a Manwich kind of day.
(Oh, SusieQ, I mean with tofu of course! cough cough)
;)
Ha - you started something, SueR! Maybe tell her the puppies have to go nite-nite? :)
Awwwww - cute age. But just about the time they try to resist a nap - which mom so desperately needs!
I noticed in her last post, she was reading - maybe she got absorbed in the book and forgot about us?
Well, never say never. We had the first 3 very close together, then many years later, we decided to adopt! So we have 3 married and one still at home! I thought, well it'll keep me young, or age me before my time. The jury is still out. :)
Oh geez - I'm not getting sucked into that again either! Been there, done that! LOL. I'm going for a while too - cya later!
Im with you Clyde!
How is everyone doing.
ks like its M&M in the windo this year! I have to get started not takes me long to finish.
almost 5 and this has been a very slow day and also at work Hi everyone willwe get to 1300 tonight?
Okay, that's 60 before morning? So, by 6 am? I would like to think we can do it, but I have been called optimistic, er, hopeful. Go team!
How nice to be missed, SueR. I had get out to the laundomat.
Then I resisted the urge to log back on right away. You guys were going nuts this afternoon. Excellent work!
The Walsch book is beautifully written and beautifully illustrated, 8 1/2 x 11", and it IS only 17 pages long.
I feel the same way, INMCB - I could go to sleep right now although it's only 5:27 - whew!
SueR: If you use any branch of the Warren County Library, they do own one copy and it's available now. I just checked online.
I have to say I had to back off this thread....I was going to get fired for not working and only post comments.
I am so tired lately but I have been going to bed early and actually falling asleep so I think my insomnia is finally gone. I think the time change did it.
Christine, I liked your sunflower too.
Ok I've tried to post this 3x alrady and my computer is crazy. I think you are all right it gets dark to early and I keep wanting to go to bed and it's only 5:55
OMG!!!!! I haven't check the site in a couple days. over 1200????? Nice job all!!!! lol
Evening all. I have been busy today and I guess everyone else has been. But now it is NIGHT and it is time to post.....
I am curious....Artificial tree or real...and IF real do you cut the tree yourselves....
We go on our yearly adventure to a local tree farm and cut one down....My son looks so forward to it...so do I! He is now old enough to take over the actual cutting as well as picking it out!
Maybe this will get everyone talking?
I go with the artificial tree being I will put it up next week and wont take it down until Jan. 15th. The reason, I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! Besides, I hate putting all the effort into decorating and then tearing it all down 3 weeks later, no way. I'm going to enjoy it!!!
Totally Fake baby...and actually we are in the market...
Anyone seen any really nice fake ones out there with TONS of pre-lit lights???? How about Hometown Hardware...whats their selection like?
At Lowes and Home Depot...they have nice ones...but really the lights themselves are really dim....I dont know....
Where did you get your fake one?
Christine,do you have boxes of the old time big Xmas lights at the store?
I love those!
I remember we had a few Angel hair ornaments that were sooo fragile, too....loved them.
Favorite all time Xmas gift as a kid?
not a bb gun....
mine was a chocolate factory
figures..........lifetime addiction...
Target after Christmas sale for nothing a few years back! All pre lit, it's like opening an Umbrella. I hate the trees you have to put together branch by branch. :-) I want it up and I want it up now. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!! :-))))) I do purchase a wreath every year for the pine smell. Yankee Candle doesnt do it for me.
I'm here....job hunting while I keep checking the forum. LOL
We'll have to keep posting to bump it up, Hockeymom.
Hi there! Hockeymom, this year we're doing an artificial tree for the first time -- we're traveling for part of the holidays, so it seems to be the safest option. Plus we got a dog this year, and I don't want to take the chance he's going to nibble and sip.
Ladybug, I don't know about artificials with extra lights -- maybe you could add some strands to really make it glow! We got our tree at a yard sale (I know, my fingers are crossed), so I don't know where to tell you to buy them. I might need the info, though, so keep us posted.
LOL, Ladybug, I read your post before I saw reggie's...
When I read "Anyone seen any really nice fake ones out there", my mind wasn't thinking about Christmas trees, lol
I get a real tree every year - and every year when I take it down and I'm cleaning up all the needles, I say "that's it! next year I'm getting a fake tree"! With that being said, I'll be getting a real one again this year.. I just never learn.
Wiht our fresh cut tree...we got out the weekend after THanksgiving and I have the tree up until the 15th with not one single needle dropping...you do have to water it every day and several times a day for the first few days but it is our tradition. I also have a small artifical one in the basement too.
I did see some very nice artificial ones at Target, but the lights are not enough for my liking.
Hello Hope...good to see ya
Ian...LOL...
I guess no one should even attempt mentioning the North Pole now.
If environmental considerations are an issue on which type of tree you will get, real trees are more environmentally friendly than artificial ones...
http://www.doityourself.com/stry/realorartificial
FYI this years tree in Rockefeller Center is a 77 year old Christmas tree planted after the holidays. Check out the sweet story about it.
http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/ny-nytree1114,0,5044078.story
In MY experience, the needles fall everywhere, my cats knock it down on a regular basis, and I don't really have that green a thumb. I always kill the Christmas tree. :-( Not a good thing to have a dead tree come Christmas. BOO HOO!
I haven't had a tree for the last 2 years. Probably won't get one this year either. Just seems like too much trouble.
OMG I cant remember the questions by the time I read all the posts.
Fake tree I am allergic to real ones.
INMCB yes last time I checked I did have those lights.
Cant remember how to change my sunflower back. I think it changed since I have been running scans constantly I got hit with 39 viruses!!!
Ladybug Hometown has real nice ones. DOnt forget the look dim because they are in a huge store and not in your livingroom. LOL!
Sing to the Tune of Winter Wonderland:
This thread keeps going, are you reading?
On the computer, fingers are bleeding!
A beautiful sight, 1,500 tonight,
typing in a forum cyberland....
Christine, your sunflower is back!
Hockeymom, I wish we could figure out your gravatar issue.
Reggie, that's a very nice story about the tree. So sweet. Too bad about Newsday's typo in the article, though (the plural "parents" has no apostrophe -- this is another pet peeve of mine, Hockeymom and happy2bhere, from the Getting Cranky thread)
Very nice song, Beanzer. Certainly we can get to 1300 tonight, not sure about 1500. But I think 2000 and then some by Thanksgiving, if we're allowed!
I also liked ianimal's pledge to the thread.
ha ha. I really don't think grammar, spelling, context, etc..... matters at all anymore. In a texting shorthand world, we're screwed!
BEANZER!!! Love your creative song writing!!!!
Let's start a new song. The next person has to write the next lyric.
Ready... GO!

I've been dozing all night and now I'm sitting here waiting for the numbers to change. So here's my last contribution. Did we make it?
1300! YES!!!!
By my calculations, if we post 100 a day for the next 7 days, we'll reach 2000 ON Thanksgiving Day.
But will we be thankful?
Being the good Polak that I am, I should have said "Nazdrovnya" but I don't know how to spell it. Tomorrow I will find out. Now I'm really going to bed.
Excellent work, someone, Jay, and cbel. Wonder if anyone else is up late. Slowing down could interfere in the Road to 2000.
Good Morning everyone, as in the words of a great comedian "How Sweet it is" anyone know who said that? Have a good day...Night crew is the best....
Good morning, good job last night guys! How about shooting for 1,750 by the end of the weekend.
I can't bake so I'll find some time...On Vacation all next week but really need to Xmas Shop.
Just don't bake, post instead. Tell the family it was in the best interest of the forum..LOL!
After tomorrow I'll be gone for a week....you have to carry on without me.
By the way in case anyone is interested in order to get 2000 by Wednesday Midnight we need to post 114 a day...Think we can do it????
Morning All...
Great job last night crew! I too will be busy this weekend but will have time to check in and at least get a hi or something in....We CAN do this !
Have a great morning all....back this afternoon for me
POST POST POST
Last night BF was watching the puppy cam in the living room and I was in the kitchen. All of a sudden I heard all this crazy, super loud puppy yipping. I ran in the living room to see what the heck was going on. Well, the lady came home from work and they were going crazy. She fed them and then played with them for a while. It was so cute how one by one they went to the bed and passed out until all six were sleeping...priceless.
city chick: I never considered that the daily count ends at midnight. I always count from first good morning post in the am till the last good night post.
Yesterday you opened with 1158 at 6:48 am and Hopeful closed with 1307 at 1:00 am.
I think I'm taking anal to a new level.
I bought some fresh pierogies at the Polish deli in P'burg last weekend and put some in the freezer. How long do homemeade pierogies keep in the freezer before their quality goes downhill?
You guys are amazing... somehow my eyes kept skipping over this thread but between yesterday and today i've read quite a bit and i'm impressed! Concerned about each of you but still impressed! ;)
In either case... HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
cbel I never thought about it, but your way gives us more time....I think? Happy Friday hope it warms up.
Well, 24 hours is 24 hours no matter how you look at it. But I just like counting from first one up to last one to sign out.
I agree, cbel. We seem to start at about 6 am for the first post and 1 or 2 am for the last of the "day" -- give or take.
Of course, if we're all posting like crazy on Thanksgiving Day, then we ought to have our heads examined.
Oh, yeah, that should have happened a long time ago...I'm calling to make my appointment now. Maybe I'll start a new thread seeking good therapists in the area! Or you could just make your suggestions here.
ianimal: I just reread this morning's posts. You guessed Jackie Gleason before I did, so I guess you get the free pie.
Leos always play fair.
Hopeful: Maybe we can have some sort of plan for Thanksgiving.
If we break into teams, say 3 or 4 a team, and take one- or two-hour shifts, then we can all keep this going and we won't tick off our families.
You guys are really sharp and I have to stop looking at this thread or I'm going to have to fire myself...Later
The puppies are having breakfast now.
http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.45.swf?cid=317016
Hi hopeful, this is the first thread I've ever done so I'm not really sure of the short letter things so I had to ask my assistant and she gave me what LMAO means....I just entered the 21st century. cbel I can do some time on Thanksgiving late morning or early afternoon is good for me, count me in to keep this going as long as possible this is actually fun.....Bizarre but fun
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall...
did you see the blind man walking down main street today??
Well he didn't see you either.
Good morning everyone!!! Great work night crew - love the Forum Christmas Carol - great composing. The rest of you - love you too! Have a great day ALL!
Alex, I think he stopped into the hardware store and picked up a hammer and saw..........

VIAGRA is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
As with any ED tablet, in the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help
Seek medical help, if I am erect for more than four hours I am seeking THE ROCKETTS
The thing about Viagra is that you need to swallow it quickly; if you don't, you could wind up with a stiff neck.
Ba dum bum...
*no animals were harmed in the making of that lame attempt
Do not feed any ED drug to your pets. (no matter how much they beg for it....) I thought that's what Friskies was for anyway.
Ha!!! You guys are toooooo funny - love this - thank you and keep it going guys . . .
things seem to be getting stranger on this thread 2 hours and 15 minutes and on vacation I can't waite for this day to be over....
A blonde gets on an elevator and says to this guy, "T.G.I.F."
The guy smiles and replies, "S.H.I.T."
The blonde rolls her eyes, and says, "Uh! T.G.I.F! You know...Thank GOD it's Friday!"
The guy says, "S.H.I.T...Sorry, honey, it's Thursday."
Here's another one:
Blonde comes home And finds her husband in bed with another woman. She takes a gun out of the bed side table and sticks up to her head. Her husband starts to laugh. The blonde says" Don't laugh A_s _ole, your next."
In response to the original question, it may also mean that the Apocalypse has occurred, that you are the last human left alive on Earth, and that you must now try to establish contact with the space station to let them know, and ask if they can send down a ship to pick you up, the cost and expense of which you will be happy to pay.
Two blondes decided that this Christmas they wanted to cut down their own Christmas tree. So they drove two hours into the country and walked deep into the woods to find the perfect Christmas tree. They had planned the trip well, especially considering that they were blond. They were dressed warmly with boots, warm coats and hats. They had a chain saw, hatchet, a bag to protect the tree and rope to drag it back to their car. Every detail was covered.
They searched and searched. They had gone to all this trouble, nothing but the prefect tree would do. They searched for hours through knee deep snow and biting wind. Finally, five hours later with the sun beginning to go down, one blonde says to the other, "I can't take this anymore. I give up! There are hundreds of beautiful trees out here. Let's just pick one whether it's decorated or not!"
A blonde and a redhead met for dinner after work and were watching the 6 o'clock news. A man was shown threatening to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. The blonde bet the redhead $50 that he wouldn't jump, and the redhead replied, "I'll take that bet!"
Anyway, sure enough, he jumped, so the blonde gave the redhead the $50 she owned. The redhead said, "I can't take this, you're my friend." The blonde said, "No. A bet's a bet."
So the redhead said, "Listen, I have to admit, I saw this one on the 5 o'clock news, so I can't take your money."
The blonde replied, "Well, so did I, but I never thought he'd jump again!"
Three blondes were walking through the forest when they came upon a set of tracks.
The first blonde said, "Those are deer tracks."
The second blonde said, "No, those are elk tracks."
The third blonde said, "You're both wrong, those are moose tracks."
The blondes were still arguing when the train hit them.
I see you all have been very busy today....Keep the laughs going...this is great. I am no good at jokes tho...
I will be able to post for a small part of the day on thanksgiving. I may even set up my laptop in the kitchen so I can check in during the day easier !
This is a good day here !
Our next comedian is from Boston, lets give a warm Hackettstown Life welcome to................
Er ah... Chowdah, my name is Chowdah, Chowdah Kennedy.
What's the difference between a bottle of scotch and Mary Jo Kopeckny?
I would've gone back if I left a bottle of scotch in the cah...
(It's been 40 years... is that enough time?)
How did you guys do that?!?
Clyde introduces the Boston comedian and along comes ianimal with a great Boston accent AND a great joke . . . hmmmmm
You guys have been real busy today. Sorry I have been so busy couldnt get on at all!
Don't worry Clyde...people are driving home now. They'll have to play catch up.
Here's another one:
A guy decides to bring his new blonde girlfriend to a football game. After the game is over, he asks her if she liked the game.
She replies: "Oh it was great, I loved watching those men in tight clothes, but there is one thing I don't understand."
"What did you not understand ?"
And the blonde says: "Well, at the begginning of the game, both teams flipped a quarter to see who would kick off first. Then the rest of the game everybody was yelling get the quarter back, get the quarter back, get the quarter back. So I thought to myself, gosh it's just a quarter!"
Folks--
Sorry-to-interrupt-the-comedy-show,but-all-of-a-sudden-my-space-bar-is-not-working!--Any-suggestions?--I-can't-cover-the-late-shift-like-this!---AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!
Hi Hopeful...I know this sounds lame but shut down and restart....also turn the keyboard upside down and shake all those crumbs out of it.....check your connections too.
Hope you get it fixed fast...we NEED your input !
Wow, my spelling as terrible in my last post...
Keep up the posts everyone...I am out for several hours but will try to help out when we return.
HAVE FUN ! ! !
How did you guys do that?!?
Clyde introduces the Boston comedian and along comes ianimal with a great Boston accent AND a great joke . . . hmmmmm
happy2bhere
ianimal and I have been an act for about 5 years now lol
Happy vacation, city chick. When do you go back to work? Do you have any special plans? I guess come Monday you won't be the first one to post, right?
No not this Monday Next Monday I go back only 3 days vacation I have off Thursday & Friday. Christmas shop trying to get as much done as possible....Not having to get up at 4:10AM is really the big vacation
Okay one more joke:
Jesus walks up to group of people about to stone a woman to death for adultery.
He says "he who hath not sinned shall cast the first stone."
This little old lady throws the biggest rock she can find.
Jesus says, "Mother I hate it when you do that."
What did the bathtub say to the toilet?
I get just as much a** as you but I don't have to take no chit.
I am home now but leaving at about 8am to Calico and BF party. Cant wait to see the band.
So whats new guys. I went back and read. Funny jokes.
I start work at 6:30 and you can do anything if you need to. 1400 Yeah is right we will reach 2000 by thanksgiving right????
I can handle being first to post, but I shouldn't have offered to stand in for Hopeful. I'm not night crew material. Anyone want to take over for me?
I won't be first next week I don't think but if I'm up I'll post I could never do the night crew thing. I generally wake up pretty early but I want to stay up late like a big girl....
Good news! The problem is resolved. Hockeymom, I had restarted, but I must have had some kooky thing blocking the bar. I just pressed a little harder than I normally would and it released. cbel, you are off the hook.
But the better news, of course, is that the day crew is awesome!!! Getting to 1400 from 1300 in 7 hours is an incredible feat. I am humbled. More days like this and we'll get to 2000 by Thanksgiving -- or at least on Thanksgiving.
However, the best news of all is how hilarious you people are. I'm not really one for blonde jokes, but some of these are priceless. I think I like the one about the football quarter toss the best.
Well, I think some of you are at the BF/Calico party, so maybe we'll *see* you later. I've a busy weekend (not home much during the days), but I'll do my best at night. I've got lots of work to do in the evenings, and it will have me tied to this infernal machine.
Wait... I am the thread killer!!! Watch! This is my second post here.. cue the crickets..
Hopeful: I'm so glad to be relieved of duty. I really do peter out as the sun goes down.
mom of 3 -- there are no more thread killers. We're all in this together!
You'll make lots of friends if you help this thread get to 2000 by Thanksgiving. Then, again, you might actually have a life:) If so, enjoy!
cbel -- I am actually more tired than usual tonight myself. Not sure how long I'll make it.
Well, back to work.
Our next comic comes to us from Czechoslovakia, so lets give a very warm Hackettstown Life welcome to............. come on give it up
IT's only me...back from hockey..another sucessful night!
Again I dont do jokes...just dont have the knack.
Great Job all....I am truly impressed.
Hopeful, great to see your problem is solved. It can be so frustrating when the comp or its parts don't function. Sad how we get sooo attached and used to them.
It is way toooo cold out tonight. It feels more like January. So is NOT at the party tonight?
I also have tons to get to this weekend but I am certain I will make time to get here as much as possible.
Welcome back, Hockeymom. It is totally cold -- I bet it was warmer in the rink this particular night:)
Clyde, I do love Prague, and I'm sure there's a joke that has "The Czech's in the mail" as the punchline, but I don't know it:)
I bet Happy or Calico or ianimal or cbel will know it, though. But, except for cbel, who could be sleeping by now, these other folks are all out having fun. Or making up more Viagra jokes. Those were pretty good, too.
Thanks Hopeful.....actually the rink was frigid tonight. I am just now getting the feeling back in my toes and my hands are finally warm!.
Clyde, did you see my post to you about those lights you saw the other night?
Just wanted to put my 2 cents in before I head to bed...good luck reaching your goal tonight.
No, Just asking, I didn't go to Calico's party; I just gave her my best wishes. I seem to turn into a pumpkin when it gets dark and I'm signing off now.
BTW, we're at 108 for today; yesterday we got to 149. The self-elected official HLF record keeper is saying good night to all.
Good Night Cbel...pleasant dreams ! What are we shooting for tonight anyway?
Where is everyone?
Way to go INMCB!!!....I am starting to fade here and have an early morning tomorrow....Hopefully when everyone gets back it will be a party thread and they will add many posts.
No posts from me tomorrow, as I am going to see my beloved
FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES
KEEP IT GOING everyone
Hey, wait...maybe Jan can copy and paste this posting until we reach 28,000! Cool. I can rest my fingers. Take it away Jan! LOL
I think we lost Hopeful
I was just watching Puppy Cam and working...those little pups are adorable.
Did you know you can't copy and paste a few times, because it doesn't let you? LOL.
Back to schlepping.
Take it away someone else. I did all my proxy posts........
Wait, are duplicate posts allowed? I hate when that happens!
INMCB, love the new gravatar!
I'm here Hockeymom, just doing a few chores and getting a hot beverage.
Hey, wait...maybe Jan can copy and paste this posting until we reach 28,000! Cool. I can rest my fingers. Take it away Jan! LOL
Hee..hee that was fun.
I am sadly calling it a night. I have to get my son to get to sleep then I too will head to bed. I will be up early and back to posting thru the day to do my part....
Clyde, are you going to Tallahasee for basketball or to College Park for football? I am jealous if you're going all the way down to Florida!
Either way, enjoy!
Did you know it was Rene Magritte's (the Belgian surrealist painter's) 110th birthday? Here's the picture on Google's home page today... I like how they put up cool images for special occasions.
I wish I was going to Fla lol, going to CP Football. To sit in 20 degree weather at 8 at night. You a "Noles" fan?
No, I'm just a sports fan in general. I was just thinking it would be nice to be going to Florida during this cold snap, then I realized there's college basketball and football going on right now. I've a good friend whose a Terps fan. Anyway, have fun down in MD!! Maybe it'll be a shade warmer there...
We have other friends who focused their whole wedding day around the Gators-Seminoles game a few years ago. There was a huge TV at the reception. Pretty darn funny. I think the bride was as into it as much as the groom was!
BTW, goodnight, Hockeymom and cbel! I missed your sign-offs.
Where has Phil D been? I guess the other posts have been more interesting!
Clyde, have fun and dress warmly!
What no posts for 5 minutes!
Back from Calicos party and we had such a GREAT time. Caliso is right the band is awsome. Hubby loved it and wants to go again when they are back in town. (band that is)
So who is still up?
Fun times at Franky's and Johnny's for Calico and BF/DH bachelor/ette party. Great to meet you Christine and hubby Chris, REGGIE.....! be seeing you soon. Mansfield Mama and Gene and Flubbernut. Drumsticks! and Thanksgiving!
Firefly rocks. :-) we all had a fantastic time. Rockabilly is probably the best music going, I'm not kidding! I WISH MORE FREQUENT POSTERS WOULD COME OUT WITH US! I think firefly can back me up on this!
SusieQ...you still up? Baking away? Let's open a Frosting store. Just frosting, all the time. Forever Frosting. I'm in.
What happened to my Gravatar??? What the heck is that thing? I didn't change it.... :(
Oh, it's back to gumball. I guess you need to do caps correctly in the email....Okay...just TALKING to myself right now...LOL
Any tipsy people back from Calico's?
What is going on??? LOL....my gravatar is changing again on me....
I'll just talk to myself and repost and see if he changes back....
DON'T READ this...I'm just bumping up posts and fiddling. Go about your business...........lol
Sounds like you guys had a wonderful night. Glad it was such a success!! Congrats to Calico and BF. I'm a fan of rockabilly -- Caliso sounds great!
Thanks for checking in. At least we should be able to get to 1450 tonight.
go team!
Thanks, mom of 3 -- just a few more to 1450. If we can get to 1500 early tomorrow, I think our shot at the Thanksgiving goal is really possible.
I am, of course,
I wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said 'serve without dressing.' So I took my clothes off.
Don't like to double-post, but here goes....
This could be it tonight for me. Long week!

done.
almost.
ZZzzzzzzzzzzz
Since no one seems to be up and I have to continue...I'm just gonna sing:
Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby.
Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go.
I'm up, too, believe it or not. I'm not going to be here for most of the day -- do your stuff, day crew!
Here we go: 147 posts for the day will get us to 1600 by last one to sign out. Can we do it?
Good Morning, What does it mean when you are not the last one to post......You keep trying! any predictions on who it will be or will the forum and computers of everyone that has posted on this thread just implode?
I guess we will have to count manually - what is the last post that we definitely know the number... I'm thinking the 1000 post. we'll have to count from there and get to here and post the number - then tonight - start from here, count the posts, and put a total to start with tomorrow.. does anyone want to start counting?? lol
I (the anal lady) already started. Jill, you're 1468. I'll continue keep track and if anyone wants to do it as well to make sure I'm accurate, that would be great.
This manual counting job will definitely be a challenge, but I feel up to it. Wish me luck!
It's nice to know I'm good for SOMETHING!
So go ahead everyone. Post on! No post will go uncounted.
Our number is back, but there's a 20-point discrepancy. Chris says 1493 and I get 1473. I think I'm right but I'm sure not going back to post #1 to check.
Morning Cbel...you are the sweetest. Thanks for all the counting. I hope everyone continues one...
This is one more for the record. Back later on
: )
I was told last night that the Food Bank in Washington on Church Street has no Food on there shelves this year. That its been really tough for them to keep up with the demand
OMG, I am the winner!!!! First I would like to thank God, Oh and my parents couldnt have done it without you. And my kids, you are my rock, and all the little people of this forum..........
wow!!!! good morning and happy weekend to all... you all have een busy this week I love it I think I need a day just to review the topic HAHA hope everyone is staying warm too... will check back later to make the count higher :)
Just Asking: So sorry, but Chris's numbers are nutso.
You are 1487 as of 9:57. But, that is an excellent number.
Wow! And who says the small things in life don't make anyone happy anymore? Lol. Ok So what does it mean if you're the only one to post and you retry and retry and still the only one to post? Lol
What the heck happened while I was gone? You kids are going to drive me nuts!:)
Anyway, cbel, is my post 1510 or are Chris's numbers still wrong? Are we 13 off?
Good luck today folks -- I'll check in much later!
I don't think Chris would mess with the count. cbel, I wouldn't worry about counting. He may have deleted an objectional comment that would change the actual. :-)
#1530 in da house!! I think? Anyway, glad everyone had a great time last night - on this thread and at Calico/BF's party. Have a beautiful Saturday all - see you later and keep up the good work. You guys ROCK!
A little giggle for you - heheheee! ... Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. ... 'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.' ... The man from Nova Scotia fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It represents a candle', he said. ... 'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said. ... The man from Saskatchewan reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.' ... Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'. ... The Newfoundlander started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. ... St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?' ... The Newfie replied, 'These are Carols.' ... And So The Christmas Season Begins......
Hi everybody I'm really late today. You guys are great over 1500 we should reach 2000 easily before Thanksgiving...
Hey Everyone...just checking in. Glad to hear you are busytoday Christine...its a GOOD thing.
Busy around my house all day. Still not done but had to add something here
Cbel's abacus only goes up to 1500. Yeah, it's a pretty big abacus, I though the same thing.
I will probably be out also on Black Friday even though every year I say that I am not going to do it.
Hi Reggie. Actually, I threw my abacus over my balcony hours ago. Turns out, Chris's numbers are probably accurate. There was just so much stuff coming in last night that the program must have gotten overloaded, as did I this am.
BTW, I love your man-hunting technique. As long as the rocks you hit them with aren't the ones they crawled out from under.
But then I think you're too with it for that.
Has anyone elfed themselves...I am really bored and pissing in my pants
http://www.elfyourself.com/
Must be I'm the only staying in tonight. Besides LOL, LMAO, ROTFL, IMO, BTW, OMG... any new ones out there we're not aware of? Also, what are the above termed?
Hey All....
I just wanted to come here to add another post to our neverending thread and to say THANKS for this website. I have learned so much about this town since starting to come here. This mess with the police is a serious problem. I don't think that I would have realized it unless I were on here having fun!This forum is a terrific way to communicate and get the word out.
Not to mention that I am starting to get to now alot of you, which is wonderful too ! : )
I was copying the website creator with the "W" sign. That's how the chick with the cupcake came to be. I hate this chick and switched back to my original reggie gravitar. It will be coming out sooner or later! :-)
It's funny what the website creator does - I tried to post yet, another joke after my two previous back-to-back posts and it wouldn't let me and had a message saying "let someone else have a chance" - very funny, Chris - ha, ha!
Anyway, I like your gravitar, Reggie (both of them actually - I'm a big fan of Reggie Jackson's)
So I'm going to post my joke below and that's all you'll hear from me for a little while - so someone else can get a chance to post - okay, Chris?
A: My wife and I were happy for 20 years.
B: So what happened after that?
A: We met each other.
*********************
A: Honey, when we get married, I'll be there to share all your troubles and sorrows.
B: But I don't have any, my love.
A: I said, when we get married...
Parumbump . . . :O)
I think people are very busy tonight...I hope we can get to our goal...what is it anyway?
I am kinda upset that I did not win AGAIN. So I not going to post on here tonight cause I am being a poor sport and it just bites.
Where's the night crew? Anyone out there....hellooooooo?
Just, I am sorry you did not get the 1500.....wish you would reconsider posting tonight. We need everyone to get to our goal. Win or lose a big number...I missed 1000 by one or two and 1500 as well.
There are still more "big ones" out there.....
I am sure that some comments will come in on what I just typed....
NUMBERS I am talking post NUMBERS!! : P
I didn't post much today because I realized that this thread was becoming an addiction for me rather than a nice diversion. So I'm going to be scaling back a bit and trying to get a little more balance in my life. But I'm still going to be reading regularly because you guys are really cool
Hi Firefly BAY with hugss
Cbel...Im sorry to hear that you won't be posting as much. I keep coming back after I do work and need a break for a few seconds then I go back and do more.
Please say hi to us once in awhile
hi everbody thought I stop in one more time before going to bed looks like everyone is busy tonight not much going on I thought we would reach 1600 tonight maybe tomorrow....Pleasant dreams everyone.
Back from my busy day, and another one tomorrow. I see that we have decided not to worry about what the number is -- we'll let Chris play with our minds. We're getting "there" -- 2000 by Thanksgiving seems possible, with Chris's help:)
cbel, I know what you mean about this thing being addicting. I have work to do, but I came right to the forum first. It is fun just reading the crazy jokes and good ideas and interesting questions that people come up with, though.
Well, I'll be off and on for a little longer -- without cbel, someone will have to step up to the plate. I'm thinking city chick, who's on vacation from work, might have some extra time over the next few days! And certainly ianimal and Clyde will be back soon. And I've seen lots of people working hard today!!
Happy, that's a funny message from Chris. Reggie, I'm still seeing the woman eating the cupcake. I don't know what to call those acronyms you listed, although I've seen them called "initialisms" on Wikipedia (I know, not the most reputable of sources). Anyway, I would add FWIW and IDK to your list.
justasking, there's a mildly funny "Saturday Night Live" on right now; Tim McGraw is the guest host.
Im not the only one with insomnia? EVer been so busy during the day when it came to bed you couldnt sleep.
Yes, Christine, it sometimes happens. Then there's the problem where you need to stay up but you can't...like now.
At this rate we may have to call in reinforcements -- you know, those little circle stickers you use to shore up the hole on lined notebook paper (the kind that goes into three ring binders)? It makes a new hole! Yeah, well, never mind...I think I'd better sign off for now.
Good morning all. It was nice to read your posts from last night. I live alone so this feels like waking up with family.
I miss ianimal and Clyde, too.
Good morning! Yes, it's cold! And did you see the busy snow flurries just a little while ago in town? I don't feel about snow the way LadyBug (the self-described snow bunny) does -- please no snow!!!!
SueR: Leave? Never! Just looking for a little balance. Maybe like checking in once an hour or so instead of every 15 minutes. When you start counting posts to veryify the program's numbers, you know you're trouble!
GooooooooD Morninggggggggggggggggggggggg Hackettstown (and all surrounding areas and all the wonderful posters. This is the best topic yet. I love it!
Good morning everyone it's not as cold as yesterday....Seems to be very slow in here I guess everyone is busy...
cbel, since I work a lot on the computer, sometimes I check in every 5 minutes -- or fewer! It can get bad, I know.
INMCB, the kitty is cute, but I like that gumball machine! I need more gumballs in my life:)
Just adding one more . . . and bumping this up - hope everyone is having a beautiful day!
Wow, we are low-key today. That means that everyone is out having a life. Nice.
Hi Everyone.....
This is late for me to be first arriving...It has been another busy day here. Let's add to that the a cold is taking over my family... not much fun.
I did get my baking and cooking finished for now..up next...brace for it....the ever popular and thrill-a-minute laundry !
Hope all are doing well ...
Hockeymom - Echinacea is wonderful for catching a cold before it takes over. Hope you're all feeling better soon!
Ooh, Hockeymom, not colds for the holiday! Start pumping the warm beverages -- especially the tea (decaf for the kids, with a little sugar and milk)!
What did you make today? I think I'll make some cranberry sauce later. That's easy and stores well.
Good luck with the laundry!
I woke up with a cold! UGH!
I hate colds
..........sniff....sniff.....cough.......sneeze.....achey
Sorry to intervene, Hopeful, but Hockeymom (and Christine) try the echinacea or Zicam and as for hot drinks - make them with honey and lemon - works everytime!
I am way ahead of you. Been taking wellness formula and zicam since 6am. Just runni to the bathroom alot. LOL!
OMG these pills have me going and going just like that commercial. LMAO!
Maybe its all the water and vitamin C also. UGH>
I feel like crap. I need to get this out of my system or the baby cant come Thurs.
Yeah, in my experience, if you can catch these things early enough and start drinking a lot of healthy fluids (and, yes, going a lot), you can flush it out.
Good luck Christine and Hockeymom! You want to have your families healthy for turkey day!
Hi All...and thanks....My husband refuses to admit his is sick...and wont take anything...needless to say I am staying far away from him. My son is miserable today but I have him drinking lots of water, G2( he lives on it for hockey ) and tea. I am the one taking the C and echinacea....also tea and water....I am more doing the prevention end.
Hope...as for my cooking this weekend, I made the cranberry sauce, my grandmothers secret ..... and some cookies...
Now I have to figure out what to do about dinner. Cya later all...Feel better to those who are sick too !
I haven't had anything to contribute today but I have been logging on to keep up with things. Hockeymom and Christine: I sure hope you feel better in time to enjoy your Thanksgivings.
The back and forth between Reggie and Ed has been interesting. I guess ianimal will back to work tomorrow and maybe Clyde will be back from his game. It's been kinda quiet without them.
WOW! I actually fell asleep in between trips to the bathroom. LOL! Took a hot shower and let it drain as Dr. Chi would say.
WHere is everyone today?
Oh, Christine, gotta love Dr. Chi! Hope you're feeling better!
I fear that our diehards have given up on our thread. But I am, of course, Hopeful. Maybe they'll show up after dinner!
Feel better Christine. SOrry I never made into store but will be in sometime soon. Had the cold 3 weeks ago. The cough seems to drag for quite awhile. It has really made the rounds. Feel better all!
cbel! I am seeing a new little blue gravatar! I can't really tell what it is, but it's cute nonetheless.
You're right, ianimal and Clyde need to get back to work!
Glad you checked in.
Hockeymom, try your gravatar again! I see from Reggie's new forum that Chris fixed something with the gravatars, and I am seeing your candles up by your name in some, but not all, of your posts above in this forum.
Let's get those candles back!
So since I haven't been mentioned in any of the past few posts, I guess I'll mention myself - what up?
Hey Guys....I am here for the night. I will be posting on and off while I am working.
Hope-- you really got to see my candles? I wonder if it was when I came on under Hockeymom30 on the other comp?
I will try again under this one and see what happens. Thanks all for your wishes.
What's up with my new gravitar? When I got my last one I said I looked like a pensive doofus. But I got used to it. It looked, to me, like someone who was pondering the subject at hand before making a comment, and I liked it. This one looks like a stinkbug!
Happy, hi! We do need to pay homage to you every so often - you started this crazy thread.
Well, cbel, now you're back to a green snowflake -- I think I've seen that one before. I don't think little blue critter looked like a stinkbug. I thought it was like a cross between a little birdy and a little mouse. Well, it doesn't matter if you don't like it...
Hockeymom, I do like those glowy candles!
I see that things have picked up a bit now -- excellent.
OOOOHHHH! I just has some Itlaian penicillen! I ran out of tissues and my nose hurts!
WWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTTSSSSSSSS UUUUUUPPPPP?????
cbel, I meant if you don't like it, it doesn't matter if I do... yeah, Reggie, a chicken rabbit! Sorry cbel.
Hi Hopeful,
Thanks I love these candles too. I love candlelight..very relaxing and makes everyone look great ! THanks too Reggie!
Cbel is back to normal I see.
Lets keep it going all
Back in a bit!
Is anyone elses threads not reading correctly. Usually it rests but according to mine no ne has posted since 4ish.
Hi everybody we reached over 1600 I didn't really think we would since it seemed so quite earlier today..
Yeah! 1600!
Christine, I do show a lull between 445 and 620, but it's been steady-ish since then.
At least, that's what I see...
Brian's song is on! I guess I should find some Kleenex if I am going to keep watching it! Also a very interesting show called Sugar Mummies on BBC. Well not really that interesting but odd to say the least. You have to love the BBC
I just checked our stats. SueR started us off today with 1560 at 6:34. We're somewhat behind our daily average, but there's lots to do to get ready for Thanksgiving, after all.
Love the candles, Hockeymom -
The rest of you wacky, wonderful people - just crack me up.
Hope everyone had a wonderful day - although cold, it was a beautiful, crisp day. Got lots of yard work done.
I like the snowflake better too, cbel - sorry.
That's for sure Cbel. I am going to start getting very busy but will do my best to get here off and on to post.
I think I will post here one more time for the effort. Time to get some sleep unless I am given some incentive to stay awake. Maybe I should check the dating thread. Reggie when are we taking the sling shot out?
Well, 1650 would be a good goal -- might be kind of hard on an "adult school night," as Reggie called it last week. You know, we did 1,000 posts this week. We were just about at 650 last Sunday evening.
I think I made a stupid decision this weekend.....the right decision but still very sad about it
Hi Just...good to see you tonight. Love the new pink snowflake or is it a quilting design...
I found out that my Ex-mother in law is coming into town and I offered for my kids to go there for Thanksgiving. So my kids will be spending Thanksgiving with their dad who they have not seen since before Easter. I know its the right thing but I am just sad.
Just, that is a great pink snowflake. Sorry about your difficult Thanksgiving; but your kids will thank you for their time with their dad, so that's good. I can see that it will be hard for you, though. Will you be able to have some fun that day?
I will be with my family but I am sure my heart will be with them. I will be fine.
just asking you are a good soul. BUT are you alone now for Thanksgiving? You can join us if you would like.
I cant bear to have anyone home alone for a Holiday!
Christine, Now I am crying, That was so nice and very sweet. Thank you so much. I really will be with my family. Thank you all so much.
I haqve been known to have strangers for Holidays. It is all about giving of ones self ya know.
Well keep your head up. Lets hope that he would do the same for you if need be.
Well...it seems that perhaps interest in keeping this thread going is fading afterall. Too bad.....I too, have been posting on other threads but keep coming back here to keep things going.
I hope I am wrong tho.
Hockeymom, we're almost up to 1650 tonight -- we've had a steady flow this evening, although not as crazy as last Sunday night. Maybe if we get to 2000 on Thanksgiving, it will be time to have Chris check on our place in the record books.
Go team!
I am sorry for you just asking. Many women are put in your position. I really dont know how men cannot help financially to raise ther children. THERE are good guys out there just heed to find them.
DONT feel sorry for me, please. I am so much happier than I was married. I feel bad for women then dont think they can do it on their own. It took me a long time to leave because in an abuse (mentally for me)relationship their goal is to keep you down. I got out of that mess. Finally divorced. My kids are beautiful and healthy and in therapy with me. We will make it.
Okay I am off the soap box.
I am on the list for a good guy, I am waiting
Just Asking: Just keep taking the high road and one day your children will acknowledge your efforts. Trust me. Been there.
what the hell did everyone smoke tonight? Dolly is missing, Christine is spitting all her germs all over her computer, Reggie and Ed should be getting a room, Dog luvr has cat pooping in his wife's garden, and then there is the person who want to call someone about a wolf that may be a dog or something else. Everyone is goofy tonight, is it a full moon? Or is everyone just mooning each other?
Uh-oh, Reggie, are you predicting another thread shut-down? Is that why you posted a link to the thread IN the thread?
Hey, is that even legal? lol.
Happy, I am liking your virtual hugs. They are very warm.
Looking forward to another few days of furious posting. Then we can all settle down to our on-line shopping:0)
Nite, cbel!
Good morning -- that was an oddly long time for posting to have been disabled. I was hoping we'd get to 1650 last night.
Day crew, you've got to pick up the slack from this unexpected break! Good luck!
Morning All...
The day has dawned and it will be a busy one. I kept my son home from school today. He is coughing all over the place, poor guy : (
I hope everyone has a good Monday....
Hockeymom - I guess its the season for sick kids...both of mine are home today with two different ailments. Hope your son feels better for Turkey day.
Morning someone...
I hope your two feel better too. Thanks It is rough for them too. I know my son wants to feel better. This is the once a year visit that we all look forward to so much!
Sorry for all the sick kids! Good luck parents.
Well, I feel better. 1650. Bye for now.
good morning everyone...I'm going xmas shopping today I'm off all week so I thought I'd try and get most of it done...Of course I will have to buy some presents for me not to many can't afford it. Hope everyone has a good day I'll check in later.
Hey, everybody... happy Monday, even though it's practically Wednesday,if you're an optimist.
Went to a wedding Friday night... greatest wedding favor ever (even though you all hate them): a small (200 mL) bottle of Pear-flavored Grey Goose with a label that said "Bride and Groom, The Perfect Pair"
Sure beats a corkscrew, lol...
Hey you guys are a hoot...keep it going!!!
Let's get Hackettstown on the map for the wildest
posters on the east coast...BTW what storm??? Must
have been fun at Clyde's house last night LOL.
smooch Good morning everyone!
I still feel sick. I am vitamin C'd out.
Had to resort to taking Nyquil.
UGH! I still have to go to work. LOL!
Too Funny Sue R....My son is one of the aforementioned sick kids. He is upstairs sneezing and coughing....I am busy cleaning up after his little coughs and sneezies...LOL I will never be ready for my company starting tomorrow. Good thing they uderstand that we actually live in this house !
I think Clyde must have had dinner at the Smokehouse and doubled up on the baked beans for his side dishes (-;
I think the holidays are here, the weather is becoming cold and yucky and everyone is unmotivated including me
Don't forget today is the last day to plant your seeds, so you will have a tree by Xmas
I can't believe that people are still talking about it...
However, for the record, I am absolutely APPALLED that CBS took Walter Cronkite off the air. They made a BIIIIG mistake. This viewer will not be watching CBS news again until this horrible affront is rectified. He was so perky and goofy and he had a great rack... oh, wait...
Vacation day today, so plenty of time to get a post in to add to the total. Knocked a couple of little things off of the "to do" list. Can't bring myself to get to the painting....HATE IT!! If I post everytime I procrastinate while I'm on vacation, 2000 posts should be no problem!!!
Clyde, Seed, what seed? My tree is in the attic. Taking it out is on my to do list also.
Welcome back fellows. ianimal, that's cool about the wedding favor! I'm a big fan of puns AND little bottles of alcohol.
Clyde, I see the Seminoles creamed the Terps. You must be very proud. Ian, I think Clyde froze his a** off at the game, which might be why he didn't realize his thunderous reaction to the baked beans (although it might have been crabcakes -- he was in Maryland) was of his own making.
We need to do, basically, 300 posts in the next 3 days, if we gives ourselves to the end of the day Thursday to get to 200.
Think we can/should stop there?
Of course I meant 2000 by Thursday. Hope we don't have to start over somewhere...
Hopeful: Stop? We can't! We'll still have 26,000 to hit to beat the world's record, according to (jivedig: Are you the one who knew the record?)
This way, we can all stay friends for another ten years or so.
I want to go home! I feel horrible. Dr. gave me a antibiotic so hopefully I will be better by Thursday.
Guys I just got the most beautiful Cheristmas items in. A store that I wont mention brought in there stock from last year. A must see. I already bought 4 things myself.
Sing to the tune of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer:
You know cbel and Christine,
and ianimal and reggie,
justasking and firefly,
and hockeymom and jivedig,
but do you recall the most famous posters of all?
Hackettstown Life Forum Posters,
Have had some very busy days.
Posting all this nonsense,
Is leaving them in quite a haze.
All of the other forums,
Used to laugh and call them names.
They never met poor SusieQ,
Who always beat them at their games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Chris came along too strong.
If you keep this posting up,
I'll link you to a You Tube song.
Then how the posters loved him,
As they shouted out with glee.
Hackettstown Life Forum Posters,
We'll go down in history!
sorry guys, I hadn't posted in a few days, had to make it good (OK, not good but at least entertaining?!)
Hopeful YES it was cold 20d
Our next comedian is from not sure where, but she is telling other Women to try the sausage? Lets give a warm Hackettstown Life welcome to SueR............ Lets hear it
Great job, Beanzer... although if everyone puts that amount of thought into each and every post, we'll never get to 2,000 by Thursday (-;
That was great, Beanzer. Either you're very talented or you've got waaaayyyy too much time on your hands - I'll bet it's the first one.
Hope: 2500 is the Europe trip, if I remember correctly. I am not going back to read everything again.
Does anyone want an animal? If so, please come over and help yourselves to one of ours - your pick.
Clyde - League Baseball..that was funny. Took me a minute to get it. Good thing I'm from NY and think in an accent or I wouldn't have. Disturbing that you know of the other 2!! or not..
Here's a picture of lulu.
He specializes in tormenting/scaring large German Shepherds and breaking into tall garbage cans.
This is Sassy. We can't give her away because she belongs to our friend and neighbor Dave.
For Marcus, in the background, however - something could be worked out.
Marcus has very specific dietary preferences. This involves us spending hours each week making meals of calves liver, rice, bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese, which must be mixed in just the right proportion with his favorite flavor of kibble. The kibble must be pre-moistened and soaked for about 20 minutes with broth, however, or he will look at you like you're trying to poison him. If it's not just right, he can go for days without eating.
Here's Bluebonnet.
His trick is to take a bath in the water dish. If it's too cold, he'll then sit shivering at the bottom of his cage, and need to be picked up and held for a good quarter of an hour, or he'd die of cold.
Hazel is perfectly normal except:
1) she dislikes every other creature in existence.
2) she eats like a (see next post).
Remember when Jerry and George went to NBC with their idea of a show about nothing? Surely we can get HLL (Hackettstown Life Live) a spot somewhere. Who will write and who will act TBD, but I think we may have something here.
Chance, adorable kitty that he is, will happily jump on the table and take a bite of your sandwich. While you're eating it. And will have to be locked out of the room if you'd prefer to ever eat in peace.
He also guards ferociously the watering hole which he has designated to be his. Any animal big or small who dares go near the big bowl will be sneak-attacked from behind.
Beanzer, Love the song......
Rebecka, Love the animals.
Cough, COugh, sniffle sniffle.......excuse me!
Clyde - League Baseball..that was funny. Took me a minute to get it. Good thing I'm from NY and think in an accent or I wouldn't have. Disturbing that you know of the other 2!! or not..
maja
maja, Clyde is very wise man lol
Rebecka, I love your classified ad posts with the photos and the personality quirk information. I have a dog that, like Hazel, despises all other animals, too, so I can't help you out (except maybe Bluebonnet -- what kind of bird is he?). But I look forward to hearing about their new homes. Why do they need to go?
Guys, the songs and the jokes and bizarre stories about nothing are great. Very Seinfeldian indeed, cbel.
Hey, go check out the C'mere Cupcake thread. They're having a "soft opening" (a term I never heard before Target came to town -- but I don't like to shop, so that might explain it), which means they're secretly open before their grand opening. I went by the shop and their cupcakes are delicious! Reggie, we need to give the owner, Nicole, your old gravatar.
What does it mean when you're the last one to post...
That you've got loads of bandwidth and it doesn't take 27 minutes to load this thread.
Well I went Xmas shopping spent more on myself than anybody eles I went to the Crossing and it was empty never saw it like that really strange. Hope we can make 1700 tonight. I also went to that store in town called Around the World really a great store lot of neat different things...
Hopeful - I was just kidding. Sometimes it feels like I'm a zookeeper, and the menagerie gets to be too much.
Anyone else live with a crazy bunch of animals who seem to have taken over the home?
Just wanted to let the well wishers know that my kids are healthy enough to go back to school tomorrow...thank goodness. I hope everyone else feels better.
Gees I signed into this thread. It is now 8:08pm and I forgot all about the council meeting. Darn darn darnit. Christine please report in when you get back.
Rebecka Cherish these years as I know you do...they go as quick as smoke through a keyhole.
someone whose been there.. Glad to hear the kiddies are better just in time for Thanksgiving. I can't tell you how many Turkey Days or Christmas's someone was sick...
city chick...Been there done that lol
Christine you should be home getting better for Thursday and the baby.
Folks: Here's some disheartening news. We're at 79 posts for today. In order to hit 2000 by last post Wednesday night, we need 281 more. This does not look too promising. Maybe we should just ease up and enjoy our week. What do you think?
Oh Rebecka, sorry I misunderstood:) You were racking up the posts, right? Well your pets are adorable and I'm sure you do have your hands full!
Went to the Target tonight for the first time. Very nice! What I really like is that the Pizza Hut offers Coke and Pepsi. Now that's what I call selection.
Oh, and I ordered pumpkin cupcakes for Thanksgiving from C'mere Cupcake. Cream cheese frosting? Yum.
Someone, glad the kids are better. Wonder how Hockeymom's are doing? Christine, hope you're feeling better, too!
Im back!!!!
I know I should have been resting but I went anyway. The Dr gave me antibiotic so hopefully thia thing will disappear.
The Council went well. Mr. Huckel from the high school and how we need them at the HS etc.Brian Ficarra said that they council and the PBA came to an agreement. The COuncil voted to hire one officer at this time.They did say that they need to be fiscallly responsible and something needs to be done in the future.
I agree with Clyde and Firefly, cbel. We can do it!
But I was thinking maybe we could give ourselves until last post Thursday night -- so 2000 posts by the end of Thanksgiving Day. That seems more doable. Except some people might actually be away from their computers that day....lucky.
Maybe if we get to 2000 by then, then we could ease up for the rest of the holidays?
Couple of things: That was a good idea, Hopeful.
Calico said that she was getting married tomorrow at 6 pm, 9:00 our time. Maybe we can all wish her well then.
Clyde: Leos are always hopeful.
Wonderful Christine about hiring one officer. Every little bit helps. Get some rest. Calico and BF will be officially Mr and Mrs Calico tomorrow. I think they said the big night was Tues when there was no football on. LOL My guess is they are having a great time.
I like the idea of giving it til Thanksgiving at midnight. I am thinking it can still be done.
Personally, I think the hiring of one officer is a good thing. I am glad they worked something out. Give and take.
cbel, what? You are giving up the fight? Whats the matter? I will admit I was in a mood yesterday and you helped, want to talk about it? Are you having frosting withdraws?
Hopeful - Most retail stores have a soft opening, it just is to get the bugs out, what works? what does not work? Move this here and that there. Kind of thing.
I am sure that Calico and her Husband are listening to Barry White as we type
70-yard catch and run from Drew Brees to Lance Moore...
Saints tie it at 7.

Just checking in before I turn in for the night . . .
I vote we count until Thursday night too and I DO think we can do this! Go Team!
14-yard pass from Drew Brees to Lance Moore... TOUCHDOWN!!!!
21-14 Saints, 8:19 left in the half.
At this rate, we might get to 2,000 tonight, lol.

Help Ive fallen and I cant get up!!!!
LOL!
I need ice cream my throat hurts! Oh well sugar free jello will work. ANd its blue!
The blue stuff ain't for eatin'... it's for rasslin'.
Now spit it out and roll around in it, Christine (-;
I stepped away for an hour to watch Prison Break and you all went wild. I love you guys! I'm going to catch up on the other threads now, and then call it a night. This is just ridiculous. Fun, to be sure, but just ridiculous.
SueR: Read the book.
Hi All.....
IT has been crazy here today. My little one is feeling a bit better thankfully. Thanks for asking Hope and everyone.
Someone, glad yours are better too.
Not sure if I will make it back tonight. I am feeling sorta yucky now.... bummer
Drew Brees 16-yard pass to Billy Miller.... TOUCHDOWN!!!!

You guys are impressive today. Nice to see everyone back. I hope to do better tomorrow
Night all
Deuce McAllister 4-yard run... TOUCHDOWN!!!!
Saints, 38-21... 7:32 left in the 3rd quarter
I hope you all feel better -- blue sugar-free Jello? That just ain't right. Eat some frosting and drink some tea and call me in the morning:)
Deuce McCallister, 54th career TD, 38-21 Saints! 7:32 left in 3rd quarter. Oops. Sorry ianimal. That's a lot of touchdowns.
SueR - its 17 pages, you need to fine time to read a pamphlet?? (BTW - I never read it)
It took me 30 minutes, but I have caught up on every post on every thread. God forbid I should miss something. Now I'm turning in. Nite all.
Drew Brees 70-yard pass to Marques Colston... TOUCHDOWN!!!!
Saints 45-21... 2:26 left, 3rd quarter.
ianimal, you am the man. I see I spelled McAllister wrong. Got carried away. As Colston almost did when he flipped that ball in the end zone.
Yeah, but Drew Brees needs to relax, lol...
I had written some guy off this week but he's only 7 points away from winning now and that would mean I have to win next week to make the money... I don't want that kind of pressure, lol.
Aaron Rodgers 4-yard pass to Ruvell Martin... TOUCHDOWN!!!!
Aaron Rodgers pass to Ruvell Martin successful for the 2-point conversion.
Saints 45-29, 11:45 left in the game.
Jeez, it doesn't look good for the Cheeseheads. Another NO touchdown? That's Shaqtastic!
Pierre Thomas 31-yard run... TOUCHDOWN!!!
2-point conversion failed.
Saints 51-29, 8:47 left in the game.
Sorry, Hockeymom -- didn't see your post until now. Hope you're feeling okay, too. Check out the cupcake place. It'll definitely improve your health:)
great news, ianimal. good luck in the playoffs. super job with the forum tonight. just about to 1800!
Good morning all. Lots to do today. Russ Long said to look for snow today. I hope he's wrong. And I hope everyone who wasn't feeling well yesterday is doing better today. See you later.
Morning All...
Hope thanks for the cupcake idea. I would love to get there IF I find time. No time to be sick, family coming in today.
You guys ROCK...way to post last night!
Morning sue and thanks too!
Hello and good morning.
ianimal unfortunately I took your advice and now I am blue just like mama smurf.(was there a mama smurf?) Customers are going to think I need mouth to mouth now. LOL! (that could be fun.)
Feeling better. That Z pack works great! NYquil at night helped me sleep.
Hope everyone has a good rainy day.
Wasn't that a GREAT Thanksgiving Parade last night. I hope Hackettstown makes it an annual event. cbel it was a pleasure meeting you there.
Good morning all - and since it's 2 days till Turkey Day - let me ask you something . . . this year, what are YOU thankful for?
I am thankful for my health. Even thlugh it was a tough year healthwise being diagnosed with a major disease I am thankful that I am alive and walking.
Good question happy2bhere
In case I forget later, I'm gonna post this now. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone....
http://www.radioearth.com/VideoWKRPTurkeyDrop.html
I'm thankful for having health insurance.
I have major spine surgery coming up, and every day I think to myself: my G-d, there are people out there who have the same problem I have, and there is no end to their pain in sight because they don't have insurance and can't afford the surgery.
Coralie that's so sweet. Me too and I am thankful for my new kitty! I love to squeeze him!
Just thought I'd add a post to the thousands here! And I am thankful for my family!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
KAT I'm having a disk removed from my spine, and screws and metal rods put in.
Anyway, here's some birdy pics. As I can only attach one picture per post... darn, looks like I have to do several posts...
My little contribution to our worthy (?!) effort here! :-)
I am thankful for my family, who I love very much. Also thankful for this thread, and getting to be silly and fun with people whom I consider friends even though I have never met some of you, at least by your screen name.
Clyde - that's very sweet ~
Dolly - what's the kitty's name? He's very handsome btw . . . just wondering though how is Hammy handling the new addition to the family?
I am thankful that seemingly random events and seemingly insignificant decisions made each and every day have brought me to this exact place and time in my life.
Christine,
We're going to have pasta fagioli and spaghetti and meatballs...all homemade...wanna stop by?
Sue - interesting link. Apparently we're all poor and uneducated to boot! Where DO they get their info from?
I'm having SueR's S&P's tonight. Picked up my turkey at Shop Rite. Then I got my sausage and peppers in the crock pot. Meal preparation: 17 minutes. Hmmm. Cook or read a book? OR, take 34 minutes and do BOTH!
Yes instead of their regular Wed. due to Thanksgiving.
cebel, What time do you want me to come over?
Clyde: Don't you like to cook? ianimal does. I'm sure he would teach you how to make a few simple meals if you asked him nicely.
SueR LOL
Also did I miss this recipe?
cbel, I can handle myself in the Kitchen, but its better when invited and just have to eat lol
#1828 - #2000, here we come! That's only 172 more posts between now and Thursday . . . we can do it - we can do it!
okay, I was recruited to this thread from another one by cbel...lol. :-D
So, what am I thankful for this year. Well, I am thankful I'm not broke or homeless. I'm very thankful I have food, oil, a home, family, and a car. Not necessarily in that order.
And I am thankful for the internet because if I didn't the only language I would be able to speak would be baby talk. ;-)
I took a look at the link to the Hackettstown demographics. They must be the demographics for the 55+ adult community by the hospital. It can't be for all of Hackettstown. I know HTown isn't mostly women over fifty with no college degree making under 30k a year. Is it?
And speaking of sausage and peppers... has anyone here ever had the sausage made by the Sausage Man at the Washington Boro farmers market? They're really good!
Jersey Girlie Calico and BF are soon to be honeymooners.
happy2bhere without sounding like Bob the builder "YES WE CAN"!
does anyone want to guess the date and time of the 2000 post?
I say Wednesday night at 8:40
Hi everybody looks like everyone is working hard to reach our goal of 2000 by Thanksgiving.
I dont think we will make it because so many people have to get ready for turkey day. But it would be cool if we did.
Jersey Girlie - when is the Washington Boro Farmers' Market? I love good sausage. Thx.
home.aristotle.net/Thanksgiving/trivia.asp
I got 15/20... some of them were tough, lol.
www.home.aristotle.net/Thanksgiving/trivia.asp
maybe this will provide a clickable link...
Have faith we will make it this has gone on for a long time I can't believe this is the end and we won't make 2000.
Here's a picture of the car I want. Won't be out until next September. It's only an artist's rendering b/c BMW is keeping it under wraps until they officially debut it. I'm going to have to work my butt off!
OK. That was 1841. 159 to go before last post tomorrow. Piece of cake.
I'm being hopeful, Clyde.
Well thought I would say it again because I am so excited......WE FOUND A PLACE! For the Knudsen Family that is. LOL
Re: Farmers market - are there farmers there selling fall/year-round items (apples, sausage and meats, honey) or is it only in the Summer.
cbel, did you say you were being Hopeful? Welcome!
The day crew has done an awesome job -- very very impressive! And if we keep it up for the next 28 hours or so, we should be good for the 2000 before Thanksgiving.
Today's migraine has slowed me down -- and I need to go to bed early -- but I will do my best and should be back on my game tomorrow.
Go team!
Oops; I shouldn't have complained about being sick today...it did stink, though. "I got better." (name that movie)
ianimal tells Clyde to use the bathroom and tells the rest of us to take a quiz? I swear, I don't know what's going on here half the time, but at least I'm posting.
Hopeful: Sorry about your migraine. You deserve a rest. Maybe the day crew can put in a little O.T (me included).
Rebecka: I looked it up and they shut down for the winter the last week of October. Sorry! :-/

If you still want to get sausage from him in the off season here is the info I have off a pack of sausage I had in the freezer.
The Sausage Man
3 Haytown Road
Lebanon, NJ
(908)832-2697
The ingredients on the package of my Italian style pork sausage is pork, salt, pepper, and fennel. It is so good! And the Sausage Man is a very sweet older gentleman. He may be willing to ship if Lebanon is too far. But I dont know. I have only bought at the market. The sausage costs $5 a pound. Each one pound pack has five large links. It is worth every penny! :-)
I think this is post #1861 - I don't know why, but I'm exhausted tonight and will be turning in shortly = goodnight happy people!
link works, ianimal, but I'm afraid to say that I know next to nothing about turkeys! This Tom's goose is cooked!
It's nice to see the additions to the Poll thread. We still have quite a few more to hear from, though.
Jersey Girlie - thanks so much. S.O. works right near Lebanon. Will send him on a mission. Yum...
It's 10:08... do you know where my children are?
Oh, wait... I don't have any. Carry on.
Evening everyone !
I feel like a slacker in regards to posting.....I have had a BUSY day for sure away from here. Congrats on allthe POSTS!! WOOOOOW
I ran to the airport and back,visited and went to dinner, I have spent the lest few hours trying to help my son get caught up with his schoolwork/homework that he missed from being home sick yesterday. I am soooo tired !
Now to spend a few getting caught up on all the days posts
One last word of advice before I retire for the evening... when you buy a bag of potatoes, don't put it on top of the fridge out of sight.
Not sure when I bought them, but now I know where those fruit flies were coming from... I guess starch is as good as sugar to them, lol.
Nothing a little bleach and a strong stomach can't handle. If you know someone with a strong stomach, send 'em over; I have the bleach, lol.
ok, I'll add to this...as immature as it may be. Not sure anyone asked this before, but a question we all think to ourself at times:
Who farted?
H'town guy I know whatcha mean about those potatoes. Day before yesterday I went to make some mashed potatoes and when I pulled the bag out they were sitting in a puddle of brown slime. It was foul! And I just bought those taters!!! Had to toss an entire 5 pound bag... and potatoes aren't that cheap anymore.
:-)
All right, I'm really going to bed now... get to 1900 and we'll cruise on home tomorrow.
Last one up, turn out the light... g'night.
Good Evening Everyone, Just came home to find I think everyone is asleep. Went to the movies tonight - saw Twilight and I am here to tell you save your money and watch reruns of Dawson's Creek
I'm still up. Gonna catch up on the other threads, wash up and then sign off. See you in a few minutes.
I have not been on all day today. Everyone I think is asleep, cbel and I have a ton of reading to do. I thought we would be over 1900 by tonight but I dont think that will happen
Thanks, Hockeymom -- it was an aura-filled day. I should have posted on Froggy's Lilypad...
ianimal, that turkey trivia test was hard. I only got 12. Sad but true -- I don't know how many feathers a turkey has. How could I have forgotten that important factoid! At least a good Irish woman knows what to do with potatoes: eat 'em!
H-town guy: Clyde (I think you'll find ianimal anticipated your question somewhere along the way yesterday.)
Clyde, I, too, am thankful for a little silliness every day -- this thread keeps me smiling, even if I'm not a 50+-year-old woman. Yet.
cbel, you and lots of others have done yeo(wo)man's work today. Justasking, even if we don't quite hit 1900 tonight, I think we can get to 2000 tomorrow and/or in the wee Thanksgiving morning hours.
And who knows? Dolly and Phil D might be on soon. Night, mama.
Just Asking,
Thanks for the heads up on Twilight. My daughter wanted me to take her to see it this past Sunday but I read the description and decided not to see it. I took the girls to see Bolt in 3D. It was cute but predictable. lol But the 3D made it fun so it was worth it. :-)
OMG, I love 3-D films! The last one I saw was Jaws 3, for real! lol I hate to even google it to see what year it was made. :-) Or maybe Friday the 13th, Part infinity.. jeeesh.... i gotta google....
Interesting results! Jaws 3, 3-D was released in 1983 and Friday the 13th Part 3, 3-D was released in 1982.
I so wanted to love Twilight but I have never seen a Vampire movie without any blood, disappointing.
Good morning everyone. We only need 109 posts today. Someone is going to have to stay up very late tonite to get 2000 unless we all pitch in. Let's see how early we can all turn in tonight. Have a great day!
If this is going to get to 2000 post by tommorrow we better start yappin.. whats every ones fav thanksgiving dish?
Katy Fave Thanksgiving dish...
A chopped cranberry side. We never did the jelly thing - food-processed them up with oranges instead. Pretty tasty.
Bachalau is also up there. ;-)
Pecan pie -- but only when it's baked by my husband.
Rebecka, how do you do those cranberries? I was about to just boil up the whole cranberries with sugar and water -- the recipe on the back of the bag. You just chop whole cranberries (cooked?) with orange slices? Do you put nuts in them?
Is Twilight as popular as Harry Potter? I'm really only just now hearing about it now, but I have sons. Is it more geared toward girls? I did hear someone say she took her daughter to a midnight showing of the film. Too bad the movie wasn't so good.
Okay, back to favorite Thanksgiving dishes.
Morning I tried posting last night but it said I had to give someone else a chance
I love cinnomin apples someone on here gave me a recipe and im going to try it :-) thanks all
Did you know the number of this forum is 61526? But this might be post #1900! Or not. Back later.
let the countdown begin....
99 posts to go until 2000, 99 posts to go... put one up then go refill your cup... 99 posts top go til 2000
all right, i'm all screwed up chronologically... you guys figure it out, im gonna get some work done, lol
im so confused i jsut found out on a dif post that you where trying to get this to 2000 b 4 turkey day what was the 1900 about lol
can't get to 2,000 without getting past 1,900. you achieved a minor milestone along the way. Congrats (-;
Now, really, back to work for me...
Boy I can't believe it you guys where really busy last night we will definitly make 2000 by Thanksgiving. Is that some kind of record?
My favorite is candy yams with marshmallows my mother used to make the best and stuffing God I'm hungry already. I'm going to my sons and daughter-in-laws for dinner so it saves me clean up..I do Xmas.
Candied yams with marshmallows. Yum. Okay, what's the difference between sweet potatoes and yams?
A cranberry sauce is a tasty side if its done with apples, pears, nuts and brown sugar.
I my original recipe book was ruined, (husband spilled a whole pot of coffee on it) but found this one at http://allrecipes.com/
"Superb Cranberry Sauce with Apples and Pears"
Morning everyone!
I have a very busy day today. Black Friday tomorrow so I need to get more things done in the store. Take kids to the dentist. (why did I schedule that today?) Then home to do some baking. UGH!
Happy posting everyone.
Morning everyone! I agree with cbel - I like the healthy part of Thanksgiving - turkey skin, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, and pie with lots and lots of whipped cream.
Just Asking - that happened to me too a couple of nights ago - I guess you only get 2 posts in a certain amount of time. That's okay - keeps it fair.
Have a wonderful day, guys! I definately think we can make 2000 by Thanksgiving (even if it's at the end of the day). Whooo-hooooo! Go HL!
Use to love the leftover sandwich (stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce and mayo between bread) as the favorite dish after the main dinner. My mom would place the stuffing so tight in the turkey (I know it is wrong to do that now for fear of food poisioning) that you could slice it for sandwiches afterwards. This is was the best for days afterwards.
Now I keep trying new items to see if I can find something special to have with the meal. Since I do all the cooking and work full time, the dishes are pretty simple. This year I have ordered a tray of Pumpkin Perogies from Prickly Pear. I am sure that will be my favorite this year! Yum!
Hopeful - cook cranberries in sugar water, then chop them up with oranges in the processor - I think you'll still have to add sugar or it will be too tart.
Coralie, a little food poisoning is good for the soul =). I love the stuffing cooked in the turkey (it so tasty) and there is never enough stuffing.
How big is everyone's bird??
My husband is smoking the turkey today - then tomorrow - in the turkey fryer for an hour... YUM
Anyone see the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving last night? My kids saw it for the first time. They asked who drove the car to the grandmothers house, and why didn't they have on seat belts!
Haha, SueR, my wife does the same thing with March of the Wooden Soldiers every year (personally, I can't stand Laurel and Hardy).
I told her to set the DVR to record it... thanks for the reminder. You, too, Dolly.
Hopeful in H-twown asked: "what's the difference between sweet potatoes and yams?"
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes-and-cooking/what-is-a-sweet-potato/index.html
You've likely never had a real yam, Sue. Those candied things in the can aren't yams, they're sweet potatoes.
ianimal you crack me up, and at this rate we will be able to crack each other up all the time because you already said that you had to go to work and if I dont get off this thread I will be fired also
Sorry SueR the girls are gone, I can only speak Hawaiian when they are here, not sure why, its strange
At the rate you guys are going, we could be "done" by dinnertime. A free evening for the posters? What a delightful thought! But then I would probably miss all the chit chat.
Back to my kitchen. Cooking today. It's just my daughter and me, so we're going to see "Australia" tomorrow and then coming home to nuke my fabulous turkey dinner.
I think the worst is the rutabaga, SueR... they're a lot like turnips but with an even grosser-sounding name, lol.
eeew.... I just remembered parsnips... they're like turnips that didn't get an education.
(no, i have no idea what that means... i'm just working towards 2,000... work with me, people)
Okay, so it's likely I've never had a yam. Got it. Candied sweet potatoes are good, too! I also dislike rutabaga, turnips, and, my least favorite, brussels sprouts. My mom used to mash up squash, which I also didn't really like. Then again, anything's good if you just add some mini-marshmallows.
I am liking the sound of pumpkin pierogies, Coralie. I might have to try those.
Looks like we will be to our goal soon -- take tonight and tomorrow off, everyone! Great job, day crew.
One more question -- what's your favorite holiday (i.e., Christmas) movie? I am hosting a holiday movie night in a couple of weeks -- I've already inflicted "Elf," "A Christmas Story," and "Love, Actually" on these people. I don't think I can do "March of the Wooden Soldiers," though. Not a Laurel and Hardy fan, either.
I know tomorrow is not Black Friday but I am not here tomorrow.
Ugh a million things to do......
favorite holiday movies - all the sappy ones from Lifetime and Hallmark channel - Love the marathon days - if it is a day I can actually watch TV! LOL.
sockmania SueR, I love the comedies, too. Yes, the Santa Clause movies oculd be good or the other ones. What you think about "Christmas Vacation"? What about other movies that are set at Christmast-time but may not necessarily focus on Christmas? Like "Love, Actually." There must be some great ones set in NYC at Christmas, like "Elf."
Nestor the long earred Donkey - I cry everytime the mother dies. Why does the mother have to die? I know the Loin King finally killed off a dad.
Evidently, I can't type today. Which reminds me of a movie line:
"Yes, Mr. Finch, I can read and I can write."
Name that movie (it's not a Christmas movie).
It's a Wonderful Life.
Polar Express I thought was really cool.
I was thinking you could do a theme for Polar Express by having everyone wear their jammies and slippers and serve Hot Cocoa.
I love the old ones too like White Christmas and Chistmas in Conneticut
Clyde, did they Lei you?
ba-dum-bum!
SueR
SueR, I knew there was a reason I liked you lol
$1975
Just trying to guess the price of the next item on Price Is Right, without actually watching the show. I know its on from 11-12
Excellent suggestions, Firefly. They put me in mind of "Holiday Inn," with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. It's actually the film in which Crosby first sang "White Christmas," my favorite holiday tune. The movie "White Christmas" is good, too. Thanks!
Polar Express and the Santa Claus movies are newer hits. Also Christmas Vacation - that one always make me laugh till I am coughing.
Unaccompanied Minors is also a great fun Christmas movie - about a bunch of kids that are traveling without parents who get stuck in an airport because of snow. It is funny and touching at the same time.
DD loved watching that a few times last year.
Love Love Love watching the Christmas movies with just the tree lit. All comfy cozy.
"Ever notice that your s**t is stuff and everyone else's stuff is s**t?" One of my favorites from George.
Any predictions who will be poster 2000? Are previous winners disqualified? What was my prize again?
Can you believe the first prize was for poster 317 (me, actually). What a lame number now that we're headed for 2000.
Firefly: What do you WIN? You WIN nothing. You just win.
Right, Clyde?
Love the bird photos, Rebecka. Nice effort.
Clyde, I will check out the Killer Clown movie. Sounds even campier than my all-time cult favorite, "Buckaroo Banzai: Across the 8th Dimention." Do you think Strictly Video has it? It sounds like one Robert would have.
How will people allow 2000 to be the last? They're going to want to congratulate, whoo hoo, party party party!
Hopefully it will slow down for the holiday, though.
When will be get to 3000, I wonder?
And 28000 by when????????
Happy new Year...I think I have those glasses from 2000 you know the ones in the shape of 2000
Everyone,
I just want to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING, and thanks for making this thread a very fun and joyous thread. Some of the things that are posted here have me ROFLMAO. You guys are my Doctors, cause you make me feel good every morning. (Behave SueR lol) So lets keep this thread going and going. And tomorrow when I say thanks, I will include you guys. Will keep this short, or else it will become an Erik Anderson post lol
Wow! Wow! and Wow! What a family, what unity, what teamwork!
I'm proud to be part of such a sterling group.
Just asking: Of course you win. You win US.
While gathering the photo, I found we have competition
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl= http://governing.typepad.com/13thfloor/images/2008/03/10/2000.gif&imgrefurl= http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/lofiversion/index.php/t103543.html&usg=__3dtH8VG3VLlncUGT3QqKk3tKkzU=&h=310&w=300&sz=74&hl=en&start=7&um=1&tbnid=kSV29h_HSbSwoM:&tbnh=117&tbnw=113&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcongrats%2B2000%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
That's right, Hopeful, a toast - to the most wonderful group of people ever ~ you guys rock!
I thought I might win Calico's bouquet or a shot of what ever Clyde was drinking this morning.
By the way I swear I heard a man shout at about 2:33 am this morning. "ladie Stand back I'm not sure how big this thinkg gets' Right after I heard a woman say Come on I wanna lei you. Did anyone else hear that?
I hope SueR meant pictures of turkeys and not real ones that she couldn't find anymore of. I had to wait till today to get my turkey because my refrigerators are too small to store one. :-/
Figured I would stop in and help out in the 2000 posts before turkey day effort before I head to Shoprite and my holiday madness begins.
I want to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone now in case I dont get back online before the holiday. May all your turkeys cook perfectly and you pies dont burn...lol. :-)
Totally, Totally Awesome I can't believe it....This has got to be a record somewhere....
can't.......stop.......posting.......................................................................................................................................................................okbyefornow. Time to buy the cranberries, etc.
I dashed to the shoprite for the cranberries too. If you saw a woman circling the produce section like 3 times like crazy, that was me....The cranberries were hidden behind a large crate!!! AHHH!
SueR: You have outdone yourself with this one. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Back to the kitchen to make monaco's scalloped potatoes.
I'm winding down for the day. Supper will be left-over sausage and peppers that SueR taught me how to do in the crockpot. monaco's scalloped potatoes are baking in my oven, and I will finish off my dinner with one of Nicole's carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese icing. Life is good.
I'm signing off now until after the holiday - I wish each and every one of you the best of all Thanksgiving wishes . . . pants with an elastic waiste band.
Have fun and I'll *see* you guys on Friday!
I think I stretched out the entries -- I wondered if it was just my view. See my post at 2:09 pm today, where instead of hitting enter, I pushed the period key and held it down until the line changed. So I guess I broke the forum, or just shifted our paradigm.
Sorry!
Life does sound pretty good, cbel -- just got back from a successful trip to the Weis market; I thought everything would be out, but it was only the fresh parsley that I got skunked out of. Yay.
SueR, Shoprite in Byram had plenty of turkeys left thank goodness. Now I have every thing I need. The store was a madhouse this afternoon! Everybody seemed to be getting in everyone elses way. My 11 month old daughter had a ball! She loves to go grocery shopping and make friends. She kept saying gobble gobble to everyone. The kid is a trip...lol. :-D I'm already exhausted and I haven't even started the cooking yet.
Localmom, everyone seemed to be circling the produce section today, including me..lol :-) I had to keep going back and forth all over the store because I kept forgetting things. I just couldn't think straight with all the chaos in the store. And the Shoprite by me was sold out on all the vanilla Breyers ice cream (on sale for $1.99). I had to buy lactose free vanilla... I hope it tastes as good.
I'm guessing he's not on Shades of Death Road...
You know what would be really funny, SueR? If you were the meanest, most angry woman on the face of the planet and still, by chance, got that gravatar.
It suits you, but I still think it would be funny if your personality ran more towards that of Leona Helmsley or something, lol.
My friends, I believe that is the one and only Erik B. Anderson.
So I guess Chris fixed my post and got us back to the vertical view. Darn. I kind of liked the horizontal feel. You don't have to scroll down as far to get to the bottom. Back to the ho-hum paradigm.
Yeah you guys did it. Congrats, I just sat down. Crazy busy at the store in between that I went to the dentist did 2 pumpkin pies and for the first time I bought 2 apple pies. Im just too tired!
I wish I had a maid.
Im so glad you guys made it to 2000. Good job!
Hey Christine,
I drove past the shop today...were those Anna Lees in the window? (is that what they're called?) I wanted to stop by...too busy...will try this weekend.
Beanzer :)
You guys are really the best...I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving...What do you think 4000 by Xmas LOL
I like even numbers. 2050.
Happy Thanksgiving! Finally going to make the cranberry sauce.
Is that Erik B Anderson?? He looks like he is 12 years old. You type like you are 50 years old. You my friend are an old soul.
Hello Everyone....Holy Cow.......I cannot believe you guys have gone past 2000 already. I am sorry I missed it . I have been in my kitchen most of the day and when not in there I have been running all over with the family having a great time.
Did Chris do anything to the tread at 2000? Wish I had been here. I am back to tidy things up and then head to bed.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. May you all enjoy the love and laughter of being with close friends and family and may you all be blessed with plenty of good food and drink!. I know that I will take a moment to give thanks for our blessings and to pray for those who are less fortunate.
I count you all among my new friends and I am thankful for each one of you. : )
With all due respect to EBA... allow me to oracle-ificate...
He was probably about 18 in that given picture (and about 40 pounds lighter - no offense bro, I feel your pain, lol)... that picture was probably taken about 20 years aqo, so you can do the math as to how age and gravity has affected us.
I am totally awake and nothing to do. I wrapped all of the Christmas gifts I have and only need to purchase 4 more gifts and I am ready for Christmas. I am guessing I should work on my Christmas Card list. Everyone have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Here's Google's contribution to the celebration!
Just picked up my C'mere Cupcake pumpkin cupcakes! Yum!
Just Asking: I hope you were able to sleep for awhile and I hope you have a good day.
Thanks, SueR. This forum is a wonderful addiction.
Hey, Clyde!
Rick Astley is singing on the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade right now!!! Chris is a genius.
Rick Roll'd again! The parade is pretty hip, I guess! He was on the "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" float (that's a wacky Cartoon Network show).
Have a happy everyone. Be thankful for what you have and not what you dont have. Have a blessed holiday!
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
I'll give Lions MINUS 20 to whomever wants it
Also HAPPY THANKSGIVING to my Sister Annie lol
Happy Thanksgiving to All!. I also heard the Rick Roll this morning and laughed. Enjoy your day today.
Tha parade is sorta quirky but I cant start my Thanksgiving without it.
Gobble gobble !
Hi everybody Happy Thanksgiving to everbody I'm at my sons house but had to see how this is going. Hope everyone has a good day....
Hanging out with Clyde watching the hula girls hunting for Easter Eggs while eating turkey after we sing Happy Birthday and bob for apples.
Clyde, isn't your son's name Stew?
I can't wait to hear about the prizes in the ADULT Easter egg hunt.
I am really full, but those pumpkin cupcakes were delicious!
I am home and sooooo full!
Ate way to much.
BTW I will never make an apple pie again. Harpers were just like mine. Delish!
What is everyone passed out from eating too much turkey???? Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Good Black Friday Morning. I, as you can see, am NOT one of the people out there shopping for deals...no money to shop with right now.
Hope everyone had a great day yesterday. What is our goal for the day?
wow I can't believe you all made it past the 2000 mark congrats on that....I too have no money to go out on one crazy day of shopping, so thought I would add to the never ending saga of this forum :) hope you all had a great thanksgiving I am still full LOL
Recovering sounds great to me, SueR. I worked out, so that's made a dent in it. But that was just too much food yesterday!
No in-store shopping for me -- I do not like it, SamIAm. I'll stay home and do some on-line shopping. And work.
"And then there's all that weight to be lost." (Name that tune.)
As for our next HL goal, here's a thought: HL pins. Do you ever go out and about around town and wonder who are the HL people? Don't you wish you knew? It's like there are people out there I sort of "know" -- Hockeymom called us friends -- but I don't know them. Should I? Or maybe that's just against all the rules? (I know, I could come to HL HH, but it's not quite my thing.) It's a weird feeling. But do we want to walk around with big scarlet HL on our lapels? I don't know.
Hope, I think about it all the time. I am hoping that I get to go to the Happy Hour one day. But like going into the Cupcake place last week I was thinking do I know that person? My sister just started reading this and she said "you're just asking" you type just like you talk. Does everyone else? Its weird, I love cbel but I have never meet her. And if I meet her would we still like each other. What if she turns out to be someone I already know? What if she turns out to be someone I dont like? What if she turns out to be my Ex-In laws? Its worse than on-line dating, with that at least you have a picture of what the person looks like.
Hopeful: On Wednesday I went to C'mere Cupcake. One woman was leaving and another just arrived before me. It was weird, wondering if I might know her. So I introduced myself with my HL name. She didn't tell me hers. Said she's a reader, not a poster.
HL HH may be the answer. HH regulars: Do you like it better when you meet each other or do you kind of like the anonymity of the forum?
Hey, Sue: My Thanksgiving was very quiet (too quiet to be truthful). And this morning I was singing "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, now I'm gonna go out and eat worms." I'm back to normal now.
No, Clyde wasn't me. I assumed he was with you. No?
Of course, Clyde wasn't me. Wouldn't it be something if he were my alter ego. I meant he wasn't WITH me.
being the last to post means that you have said something that nobody wants to reply to. usualy something truthful that everyone wanted to avoid hearing. so here it goes. IT IS AMAZING THAT A POST ABOUT BEING THE LAST POST CAN HAVE SO MANY REPLIES, BUT A POST ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES IN AND AROUND TOWN CAN BARELY GENERATE 10 REPLIES.
What does it mean when a post is there (i.e., #2100) and then it's not? I know I saw a comment there -- it didn't seem offensive, kind of a good question, really -- and now it's gone! Was I dreaming?
Thanks, Clyde. You were SO right. I'll need some more tomorrow...I'll meet you at the cupcake place.
(I swear it was there, though -- Chris?)
Oh, jeepers, there it is. Happy taxpayers' post. It's back again. I was going to ask him/her to which other post s/he was referring? Do you guys see it?
I think I'd better go and do something outside now before it gets dark...
Happy Taxpayer is speaking about the Rivera Bar Thread. There was another thread talking about how "StageDolls" got robbed and Happy was upset because Happy thinks its a Drug and Sex place. And Happy wanted to know if Rivera was going to be a go-go bar also.
Happy Taxpayer - If you dont like the laws in your town, Apply to be elected to your town counsil. Go to your Town meetings. Start a signature collection if you think the town feels that way.
I have never been in Stagedolls or a go-go for that matter but I dont have a problem with it either. But if you are going to say they sell drugs and/or sex you better have proof before I sign a piece of paper to shut someone's business down.
Just my opinion
Thanks, JA. I appreciate the clarification. I am unaware of these issues that have gone on, although I did wonder about the go-go bar reference on the Riviera thread.
Actually, I have seen lots of responses to threads that seem to relate to quality of life (i.e., the ones about the police officer hiring), but I will say that, generally, businesses should be allowed to operate, as long as they're conducting themselves professionally and discreetly, when necessary.
You probably won't find me in a go-go bar or a tatoo parlor, but every business has a right to conduct its business, within the laws of the municipality, of course.
In response to the comments about our silly thread, I find it wonderful for my mental health, personally. What we see in this thread is humor, incredible team spirit, respect for others
and a common goal when we are shotting for the next impossible number to reach. So I say a great big thank you to happy2bhere who got the ball rolling.
SueR, so sorry about your head. Can you lie down and close your eyes for a few minutes? Try some migraine med or other? Feel better!
Just got back from the cupcake place. Good coffee. Feeling full again:)
I swear I proofread before posting, so how did I miss "shotting" instead of "shooting"? Just reminded be of a bit, I think on WPLJ a few years ago about Sean Connery with his speech impediment and how he can't say "sitting." Anyone remember?
Hope, You are changing your Direct Deposit to C'mere Cupcake? LOL.
I think we should talk to Chris about putting in a spell check button??
Thank you, cbel, for the honorable mention, but it was really each and every one of you that has made this thread a happy, get a way from it all, let me see how my friends are doing type of thread . . . and I thank you ALL for that. I love coming on here for the same reasons you all mentioned above. Keep on - keepin' on ~ #3,000 here we come!
cbel, personally, i'm shotting... the FIL gave me a bottle of homemade limoncello yesterday (-;
SueR: No, I didn't see the movie. Did you read the book?
I'm sorry you're not feeling well. The book might actually help. Take care.
SueR: I'm sorry I made light of your headache. My daughter get very bad migraines, too. I hope you feel better in the morning.
cbel, I have been enjoying that shop! Fortunately, they're only cupcakes, so I'm not breaking the bank. Yet.
I would definitely like a spell/grammar check. I think some people type their posts in Word and copy/paste them in.
I would like to try that lemon liqueur. (yeah, I had to look up liqueur!) Maybe the cupcake place will get a liquor license:)
SueR: try to get some sleep tonight. It usually does the trick for me.
HappyTax get a new name, because you seem everything but. This is a thread to get away from that other BS. Also POSTING on a quality of life thread doesn't change a thing. As someone said run for office THEN we can talk. WE NOW RETURN THIS THREAD ALREADY IN PROGRESS, BACK TO ITS SILLYNESS
Isn't the worst 1 minute in TV, those interviews of the Contestants talking to Alex Trebeck on Jeopardy?
Hey, could this be Clyde behind that blue dot????
SueR
As long as the 2 girls are you and cbel LMAO
Maybe not the worst, but close. Dorky!
But, to me, the worst half hour is Pat Sajak and Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune. I know it's been a hit for years and years, but I would rather stick a needle in my eye than watch them.
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Impatient cow.
Impatient cow -
MOOOOOO!
I guess I've had too much turkey and it's got me thinking of cows . . .
happy! I see your cow poem -- I just didn't want to get in between Clyde and his hula girls.
I don't want to make the limoncello; I just want to be given some, as ianimal was.
I don't like the "interview portion" on either Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune -- but I don't mind trying to answer word questions, either trivial but hard ones or easy guess-the-word ones.
what I really want to hear about is others' take on my questions from around noon today. cbel and I are looking for veteran posters' take on it.
WOF or Clyde Potts. What to do? Clyde, if you're sticking with WOF, I'm going to have to give you up.
Maybe.
Do you mean the lapel pins?
If so, my take is just come out on the 4th to Mattars. I hear it's kid friendly (I'm bringing my two) and you don't have to drink liquor if you don't want - just have some apps and drink whatever you want and hang out and meet everyone.
I know that having talked to people face-to-face has given me more insight into what they'r all about and when interfacing with them on the forum, I have a better idea as to where they're coming from because I've actually "spent time" with them.
Just a thought . . . who else will we be seeing on Thursday?
I understand that's why you guys developed the HH; I get that. I know it starts at 5; how long do people stay?
BTW, I knew that was a knock-knock joke -- I see short verse-like lines, I think poem.
I know, SueR - but you know what I get to thinking? That we're human and I guess we're focused on what interests us and we only respond to those that instill a reaction and/or response from us. But it does suck, when you're pouring yourself out there and no one pays attention - hence the beginning of this thread:
What does it mean when whenever you post, you're the last one and no one posts after you and if they do, your comment is not even acknowleged?
Let's keep our chin up though - I think there's a great group of people out there and I've enjoyed reading your posts.
Hello and take care to all...I wish you all the best with keeping this thread going. It is tons of fun. I dont think I will be around too much. Many things going on here.
No offense taken on my part with you, Clyde - you're one of my favorites and you always look to "add" to comments and upkeep the good spirit of this thread.
SueR - I like your summation - tomorrow's another day . . .
Cheers to everyone that has kept this thread going...good to see that people still have a sense of humor these days
SueR: Is someone giving you grief? Tell me who it is and I will beat them up. I really mean it.
SueR - Is it me? I have that Irish Quilt thing. Where I always think its me. I agree I dont think I hate or dislike anyone......yet. And sometimes I make a comment and it comes out mean when I dont mean for it to. And other times I am just mean and I mean it too.
I like your comment, too, Happy - "It's all good."
SueR, I hope you're feeling better tomorrow.
Hockeymom, I hope things settle down soon.
And, Clyde, sweet "dreams" -- or whatever they are:) cbel, you can't give up Clyde? Say it isn't so!
Good night, John Boy.
JA: I'm still up,
Clyde: I'm sure they're both lovely people. but honest to God, they make me want to gag. For now, I'll just say "Good night, my HL friend."
WOW, I can't belive you guys are still going strong. DH and I are back, so count on me for plenty of posts.
Just Asking, we had a fabulous time. I didn't do too well gambling but DH did ok. Friends of ours moved out to Henderson last year and they were our witnessess at the wedding, so it was great seeing them. We had tons of drinks....LOL, but the Rollng Rocks were scarce out there ;( We only found 1 bar the whole time that had them!
Good Morning, thought I'd add to the number as I have my Archer Farms coffee (recommended from another thread). I tried the Italian Roast and it's quite good!
Calico, I saw your photos on the other thread -- you both look great! Congratulations, and glad you had a good time in Vegas. Remember, though, DH's winnings are your winnings now, lol! Best wishes!
Took another batch of friends to the cupcake place after working out this morning:) Warm pumpkin cupcake with a frosting shot on the side. Now that's the stuff!
Very nice slide show, cbel. Thanks.
Glad you're feeling a little better, SueR!
Good afternoon, Happy and everyone!
First, I had alot to read since like SurR I have had a migraine since Thurs night. All that goes with a migraine followed. ALl I can say is it tasted better going down. LOL
Second cbel, that was very uplifting. I passed it along.
Love the pix of calico and DH!
Thirs okay who is coming Thurs. Hope we get a good crowd. and who is eating there?
Still here, SueR. So sorry to hear about your migraine, Christine.
Somehow, I'm hungry. I think I stretched my stomach.
Must.....resist......pecan......pie.......
I hear it, Sue. But the pecan pie has drowned it out, and, alas, I
have.....not.....resisted......pecan.....pie.
Drat.
I can hear it too. See you shortly!
LOL, my mom snacked on the pecan pie in the middle of the night. :-) She put choc chips on the bottom
Christine: Migraines SUCK. Glad it has passed. I hope you had a great time with the grandson! :-)
Did you ever go back and read your comments. OMG, I swear I graduated from High School, I know it was Warren Hills but I CANT SPELL. Its really bad. I was like WTF, "who would read what you write your an idiot"
guilt I wrote quilt
Wife I wrote wiff
It like someone would need an Idiot to English Dictionary
wiffer wiffer cant hit it cant hit it! SWING!!! :-)lol, no one cares.... we all family! :-)
SueR: That's so funny. I looked up your old post and remember thinking "What's an Irish quilt?" Too funny. I hate when I post before I proofread once or twice. Because my brilliant comments suddenly seem stupid.
Sometimes people do not read back and see all the comments since they last logged in. It's a boat load I assure you unless you are on here constantly. I am sure no one is ignoring anyone. Good night all. Pleasant Dreams.
JustAsking -- Somehow I knew exactly what you meant, even with the typo:) Probably because I have that Irish quilt thing too. Not to worry -- it's all good!
It's true, Firefly -- I've missed questions that people asked me; even when I thought I'd read everything, much later I will come across a post or two that slipped in somehow when I wasn't looking. Or something like that. I think it must be something about how the server "allows" posts in from remote servers.
Well, I'd hate to think that I dissed SueR or anyone else but will apologize now in case I do...or have.
Did you know it was Rivalry Weekend in college football? Florida played Florida State, Oregon played Oregon State, Oklahoma played Oklahoma State, etc. Kinda cool.
Va vs Va Tech and GA vs Ga Tech TOO. I know that for no good reason, football to me is a good reason just for a party.
Not a party for the Irish tonight, unfortunately... Notre Dame is getting crushed by USC. Gotta love Pete Carroll, though.
Well I am so sad. I need some cheering up.
Grandson just left! He wont be back til Christmas day. :(
Thats way too long!
tears, tears and more tears!
Oh, Christine! So sorry about your lovely holiday coming to an end! At least it's a late Thanksgiving this year -- just a few short weeks until Christmas!
Try to cheer up! It won't be long now. Hey, maybe we'll be up to 5,000 on this thread by then! We'll keep you busy until his next visit! And hopefully you'll be busy in the shop!
Hi SueR, thanks for the clarification. I do see your point.
Okay, let's think about a new goal for the thread: to 5,000 by Christmas? Maybe that's too easy?
Thanks hopeful........
Just wish I had more time that dumb migraine cojuldnt have come at a more worse time. Specially since I havent had one in like almost 2 years.
Sometimes I get in a pissy mood and post about something and then I feel bad and have to apologize. Oh, well, the beat goes on. I think we're all beginning to understand each other on this forum. It's all good.
You're totally right, cbel. Sometimes it's hard not to speak your mind and then wish you hadn't. It's definitely my problem in the real world.
Well, goodnight folks. Tomorrow's another day! Here's to it...
Cbel - I cant believe you were up so late 330. I have been there so many nights. I went to bed at 2 last night and woke up to see snow on the driveway. Good Morning Everyone
Hopeful in H-town what happened to FSU? Florida Gators happened lol
cbel whats a bubbie?
SueR why is there a bounty on me?
Notre Dame lost, but I was hoping by at least 80
GIANTS TODAY
Clyde: It's good to be a bubbie. I'm not sure how to explain what it means, but I can call my Jewish friend in Seattle later and maybe she can help me out. Unless someone here can.
SueR and JA: I took a lovely nap in the afternoon and then was up all night. And now I'm totally off kilter. Do you know what a bubbie is?
Good morning guys. I can't believe how late ianimal and cbel were up. I hope they get some sleep this morning.
Oooh, Clyde, why such animosity toward Notre Dame? Is there an FSU/ND rivalry of which I'm unaware?
Enjoy this cold icy day, everyone. At least the sand/salt trucks have been around my neighborhood already. Is it going to melt off?
OMG cbel. You're up? Yeah, naps can really screw up your sleep cycle. Good luck staying up til bedtime!
Good Morning everyone, see things are still moving along. I'm going back to work tomorrow so I guess I'll be back to being the first one to post in the morning again.Nice day to just sit home and watch movies and chill.
Clyde is at my house hiding. Said something about a bounty. Why would someone (SueR) do such a bad thing to such A WONDERFUL GUY.
Annie Potts
Sounds like Clyde Potts prefers SueR to me. Youth always wins. Go for it, Clyde! Watch out, SueR!. I will be tuning in to see what happens.
Poor Clyde just lost the whole shebang. Clyde: If you don't know shebang, don't even ask.
Morning everyone! I just got up. Thats really late for me!
I planon trying to get my Christmas decorations down from the attiv but just dont have any energy! Then this week I am doing the store! I guess I better get energy HUH?
What severyone else doing today other than football. I always have football on Sundays.
laundry, dishes, football and not so fun stuff. TGFC. Thank god for coffee or I would have zero energy to do this cleaning BS.
Hi everyone! Boy some of you were up really late last night! Hope you have a wonderful day staying cozy and warm.
Clyde . . . whose Annie Potts?
Christine, how's the head? I say leave the decorations in the attic -- it's still November!
Happy, I have an idea who Annie Potts is (and she's not, to my knowledge, a hula dancer), but I am more interested in Clyde's response, especially since she is at his house:)
Football, turkey soup, tea, and work (always) today.
Good afternoon all... I did a google search on Bubbee - Friendly term for anybody you like
you were right ianimal! straight from grandma's mouth. Hope you all are staying warm and dry think I might get a jump on some baking.
My head was good til I tried to get up and start doing something then it started to hurt again. Not as bad as Thurs. night but what the heck is going on. So now I am laying down with hubbys laptop. LOL!
Did not get decorations down bhut did have to run into the store and UGH! Not beingthere since Wed. and it is a mess. Now tomorrow I wll be re-organizing again!
Help Calgon take me away!
Okay, besides being addicted to HL and cupcakes, I'm a sucker for milestones. I think I'm post 2222.
I feel like getting under a blanket and watching a marathon of Christmas movies! screw football
Here's a thought: HL has HH every other Thursday. I think maybe we could also use a HL C&C (coffee and cupcake) hour every other week or so. Anyone interested?
Sign up here. Grand opening is Saturday, Dec. 6. Want to aim for the next Tuesday or Wednesday, the 9th or 10th?
I would do C&C, I can bring the kids then. I feel weird bringing them to a bar and babysitters are too expensive. When I babysat I made $2 to $3 an hour and I am not that old. I am 37 and the one sitter told me that she makes $12 per hour. That is crazy!
Jets suck today if another interception happens I am going to jump thru the screen and choke them all.....LOL!
Wed. is good for me!
Christine, JustAsking, and cbel -- and other cupcake lovers:
Normally I could do a Wednesday during the day, but I can't on 12/10. And I can't do Tuesdays. You guys go ahead and I'll catch the next HL C&C.
I'll no doubt be there on the 6th for the grand opening, though -- Saturdays are easier, in general. I work out of town most weekdays.
Thanks for organizing, cbel.
I work from home (bonus most everyday of the week). Mondays are my really busy day, so Mondays are bad. Wednesdays work
Hey . . . where is everybody? It's been a loooooong weekend and I bet you're all pooped. Well, here's saying goodnight to you, kid! Sleep well happy posters . . .
Nite, happy! I think we knocked ourselves out getting to 2000. I'm still wondering where we might be by 12/25. 5000?
I think 5000 is a do-able number even if we dont try really hard. I am awake and finishing up work for tomorrow.
Yeah, JA, I was thinking that would be a non-stressful number for three-ish weeks...but everyone will still need to pitch in!
I've got a bit more work to do tonight, too, while watching silly re-runs of "Sex and the City."
I am watching Sons of Anarchy, still not sure if I like that show. Between the "regulars" on this thread I think we talk enough the 5K should not be a problem. This weekend was different because of Thanksgiving. I think the weekends will be slower but weekdays will be the same. I guess we will find out tomorrow.
Hopeful, if you are still up what about this Wednesday? Are you available for some C&C on the 3rd? I know its quick but its an idea.
Hi, JA. I could meet you guys later this Wednesday -- like 3ish?
Clyde, what's up? We were worried about you. Are you okay? I hope you had fun with Annie Potts! She's so nice! Did you see her in "Ghostbusters"?
Hey, too bad about the Jets, but at least the Patriots lost -- to the Steelers! I presume ianimal will be happy.
Well, gotta get up soon, so I'd better hit the hay. Nite all!
Good Morning everyone. I couldnt sleep so I thought I would be the first to say good morning. See I didnt do anything all day so I wasnt tired. LOL!
O well guess I will throw some wash in.
Well I was not first this morning but it really is kind of wierd being back at work. I'm trying to be greateful that I have a job but I really would like to be home. Hope you all have a good day
Morning! Ooh, the dentist, JustAsking. You guys do the 12/10 C&C. I'll catch you next time. Hey, what's up with only 5 hours of sleep?
City chick -- so sorry you had to go back to work! Have a good one!
Awww, Dolly, now why'd you have to go and say something like that? Of course you're right, but the obsessive/compulsive in me can't bring myself to stop. Must.....keep......posting....
must.......reach......next.......absurd.......goal.
Dolly is on FIRE today, you have to read the thread on ear piercing and facials. You crack me up.
I got up today at 630 so really only 4 hours of sleep. Cant sleep. Not sure why. I believe its because of this thread. I dont know.
Thanks for the tip, JA. Literally LOL now. Ugh, 4 hours of sleep. I know you said this is your busy day, but maybe a short nap is in order?
This thread is kind of a PITA -- at least the pressure's off, goalwise, though. Take a break! I'll try, too. Maybe.
Clyde is at my house hiding. Said something about a bounty. Why would someone (SueR) do such a bad thing to such A WONDERFUL GUY.
Annie Potts

I am guessing Clyde had a better weekend than me. He cant even remember who is with him.
Yeah, Hopeful... how 'BOUT dem Stillers?
In one week, Matt Cassell went from being the next Tom Brady to being the next Peter Brady, LOL. Anyone have a concept for a reality show for him? "When Linebackers Attack..."
Another game like that and Belicheater will put him on the unemployment line...
Belicheater, lol. I think the Patriots are the new Cowboys -- the team you love to hate.
Hey, check out Chris's note when you post -- the one in the green box where it says your post might take a few minutes to show up. Now he says it depends on whether you're naughty or nice:0)
"Your comment has been received!
It *may not* appear until Santa determines if it is naughty or nice."
Hopeful, I saw Ghostbusters, but didn't know she was in it. I am a BIG FAN of Designing Women.
SueR still waiting to hear, what crime I committed toward you? lol
I guess cbel has one out on me also lol
Dear Santa Chris,
This year I have been just as good as I can possibly be.
For Christmas I would like some time for myself to do the things I most enjoy and peace on earth.
I'll be waiting patiently.
Love,
Dolly
Clyde, Annie was the Ghostbusters' secretary in the old firehouse. She had a crush on Egon, who told her that "print is dead." One of my all-time favorite movies. Is Annie as nice in person as she seems?
Now, how did Dolly's Bah Humbug make it through?
Hi Rebecka!
SueR I'll thank you - THANK YOU
cbel WHERE ARE YOU?????? She did answer another thread, so I guess she is ok, I HOPE.
Clyde, nice pic... I've got an irresistible urge for a giant bowl of popcorn with extra butter all of a sudden, lol.
I have to run to WalMart for 3 more last minute presents. Anyone need anything.....Clyde more rope?
JA - LMAO
Dec 1 is NOT last minute lol
SueR is something wrong with her you think? Why are you worried?
Clyde, no there is nothing wrong with me, except for a little stomach virus. How nice of you folks to care. Don't love you anymore? Never happen!!
No, it was cbel! Way to go cbel! Welcome back!
(SueR, for a moment I thought you trumped me again!)
cbel, I was just out looking for you. Glad you are back. Hope you feel better.
Question to all: Don't you wonder what we here @ HL would do for news if not for Cut& Paste Jan LMAO
Clyde, Tomorrow is first Christmas Party and I needed presents for Santa to give to the boys. I am completely done with Christmas shopping now and 3/4 of the way done with wrapping. Still waiting for one more present in the mail.
Glad to see cbel is up and typing
What is up with all you fiesty sassy people today?
Clyde is tying up cebel
SueR is thinking people are looking a Playboy Mags.
Another Thread is talking about Facials
Is it something in the air? Is this the reason there are so many people born is September?
Sue I have to thank Urban Dictionary. They fill me in on all the things I have no clue that the heck everyone is talking about. They keep me young and scared and completely grossed out.
"Hopefull in H-Town" is yet another Happy2bhere username!
Hip hip hurraaaaaaaaaay for the 55,000th post! So cool!
Just Asking I have been laughing all day over the Google Look-Up. I was surprised that there wasn't more wise ass comments on the topic, considering what it was titled.
SueR have her watch Monday Night Football instead lol
All I said was EASY GUYS, SueR
cbel you know google search. Don't search that topic though
SueR: It just took me by surprise that something so graphic would be so easy to find during an innocent search.
Hey everyone I finally got rid of my headache! YAY!
I think the cupcake did it. LOL! SSSHHHH!! dont tell me family I went!
Those cupcakes are magic, Christine. Glad you're feeling better.
Hey, a little after 5 pm, were people dissing my screen name (or me, I guess)? Dudes, this is the "shiny happy people holding hands" thread, haven't you heard?
If you thought *facial* was bad, try copy/pasting cbel's last line in the following post into Google and then click "I Feel Lucky"...
http://www.hackettstownlife.com/forum/61526#67432
LOL, no, don't really do it. I didn't... and neither should you.
Apparently, the size of the thread has overwhelmed the post marking feature... scroll up to this date and time:
November 21, 2008 8:59 am
Ianimal, you know that I did google it, right. I know what that is so it was not that big of a surprise. The chic talking about it while pregnant is a little shocking and graphic. But the facial thing I really did not have a clue. It's just yucky.
I didn't Google it myself... I just thought it was a funny line when taken out of context (-;
SueR, I have never seen any of those programs. Are they "reality" shows of some kind?
My guilty pleasures are pure fiction: "Sex and the City" and "Will and Grace" -- in syndication, of course. I rarely watch anything in prime time except sports.
How about this exciting Houston/Jacksonville Monday Night Football game? Ugh.
SueR - We could totally hang together. I LOVE those shows. I even watch them again online. All day long.
I guess this what Reggie calls an "adult school night"! Well, I'm still up working, but it looks like the usuals have gone to bed.
Well, Happy December everyone! FYI, Just Asking was the first to post in the new month.
Oh, one more thing: "The Dark Knight" is coming out on DVD.
Am I the first to say Good Morning? Wow, went to bed around 2 last night I should have posted before bed and then I would be first and last
Good morning everyone. Do you know that if you tried to buy everything today from the song "The Tweleve days of Christmas" it would cost 8500.00 is that insane and where would you find 8 Lords a Leaping. Stupid things you hear on the radio as you driving down 80..Hope everyone has a good day
City chick lol
SueR - Be AFRAID, be VERY AFRAID lol
cbel - do you need a visit from Dr. Clyde lol
Forgot, Morning All
Yes SueR Dexter is a strange show
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Britney Spears (on Good Morning America)
I do not think I want a visit from Dr. Clyde if Dr. Clyde likes Dexter, thank you very much.
God I don't want to be at work.....It's so boreing I could just scream it always is just before the holidays but I'm off from December 24 until January 5 so I should not complain but I am
LOL so I keep coming back here to see what you guys are talking about....I've never see Dexter I suppose I'll check it out.
City Chick: Dexter is a "good" serial killer who goes after the "bad" serial killers. Very weird show.
He is a serial killer who is a Cop, kinda like a Creepy Robin Hood
cbel I'll drop Dexter for you lol
city c. It's good to HAVE a job these days
Clyde: I really am greatful that I have a job I think I'm just having one of those days
cbel it was on Showtime first, CBS showed old SHo re-runs, with language cut. First run is still on Sho
City C. her's the link: http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/home.do
Yeah, I think CBS put it on because they had no original programming due to the writers strike... it's definitely better on Showtime: commercial-free and unedited.
Aw, Clyde, I was just funnin' with you. I'm STILL peppy, and you sure are on a roll this morning.
ianimal, I knew you were a Dexter man
SueR go for what???????? and what hallucinations and all????????
cbel just call me butter cause Im on a roll
cbel thats what this thread is about having fun
SORRY SueR I thought I had read something by you
The Washington Theatre will be showing Jim Carrey's: THE GRINCH, on Sat, Dec 13th @ 10:00pm as a FREE MOVIE!!!
It's good to know that they're going to gather a couple hundred Jim Carrey fans in the same place at the same time... interesting (-;
Thank you, thank you very much
Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Thanks, you guys were great
And then our next comedian, eagerly waiting to take the stage ... Hackettstown Life's own ... SueR!
When you look up the word dictionary in the dictionary, does it say "The book you are holding"
Why isn't there mouse-flavoured cat food?
Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Once there was a mushroom that couldnt get a date. He wondered, how come? Im a fun-gi
Thank You, you guys have been great
Holy mackeral! I was so busy with the holiday, I haven't had a chance to check in. You guys are amazing! I'm trying to read and catch up - this thread is hysterical!
SueR you are a Dirty Girl. Now I know we can totally hang together. I have to go back to work now or I am going to get fired
Did we ever nail down a date for C&C?? All my Thanksgiving deserts are now gone =(
First Christmas party of the season tonight. Wahoo someone else is cooking. Someone always cooks though
DH has been out hunting today in PA so I figured meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy and fresh green beans would be highly appreciated by him. Hopefully, he won't bring anything home, he didn't yesterday....yuck!
Hi everyone! Today I'm working late and hubby is handling homework, dinner, basketball practice, etc. He is my hero.
Just Asking, as for the C&C date, I think it was only you, me, Christine, and cbel who had responded about that (cupcakes and coffee at C'Mere Cupcake). The first date on the table was next Wed., 12/10, but we didn't get to time. You and I had "talked" about 12/3, but I can't do it until later in the day.
If you guys go ahead with 12/10, I'll try to catch the next one. My schedule opens up quite a bit after 12/17.
Okay, is this right? Calico is 2400, Hopeful is 2401, and ianimal is 2402?
I have to agree, Calico: yuck!
Hi SueR, This time I really wasn't even thinking about it until ianima posted his apparent post number:) Then I looked back and it looked like Calico got it.
Oh well, whatever -- almost halfway to 5,000! But I guess I can't "woo hoo" anymore -- it's too goofy now. Wouldn't want to take a bit of time out of the day for silliness...sheesh.
Talk to you guys later.
I see everybody is alive and well 5000 by Xmas boy is that a dream or do you think it can be done....
When you go thru a drive up window why is there braille?
Just thought I'd ask.
Clyde? SueR? ianimal? ANYONE?
I recommend that you stop going *thru* drive-up windows or you just may end up blind yourself (-;
"You'll shoot your eye out!"
Calico, can't come to HL HH this Thursday. Weekday evenings are bad for me with family duties, but I could try for the 19th.
cbel is working on a cupcake and coffee daytime happy hour for next week or the week after. That may be more my speed. Here's the thread for those RSVPs.
http://www.hackettstownlife.com/forum/71589
Hope to meet you guys sometime, though!
I have to say I am very excited to be going on Thursday. It will be nice to put some faces with names or nicknames. Beer or cupcakes I will be happy, with just adult conversation
Have you noticed that this thread takes longer and longer to load? I'm a little worred about getting to the 5K goal. Chris, can we make it without breaking the thread -- or getting rick rolled again?
JA, I will see you next week at the cupcake place -- or maybe somehwere else around town, who knows, really....?:):)
Goodnight folks.
I was thinking the same thing Hopeful. I rarely check this topic anymore because of that. It is still my favorite all time thread though! I was wondering if a "new" one could we formed and the numbering start where this one leaves off. Chris? There are plenty of controversial topics going at any given time. This one just brings people together as a place to connect.
Good morning Firefly and everyone...Hope everyone has a good day. I'm working on being in a better mood than yesterday.
Good morning everyone.
Hopeful: Thanks for bringing up the numbers problem.
Looking forward to the 10th.
Yes, cbel, looking forward to cupcakes and coffee with you, Just Asking, and Christine on 12/10. Anyone else coming?
Just Asking, good luck at the dentist today. I kind of like going to the dentist, actually. I used to want to be one, like Hermey in "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," my all-time favorite Christmas TV show.
Dentists, favorite holiday TV shows, anyone? Bueller?
Morning All
Firefly said

If so how about calling the new thread "The Hackettstown Life Lounge" or just simply "The Lounge"
I'm game for just about anything but did this thread break a record or something. This was the first thread I've ever gotten involved with so I really don't know how this goes... Clyde I'm in a much better mood today....
Good morning all! You guys have been pretty busy and you're still cracking me up - I like The Lounge idea, Clyde.
Girls! re: HLCC on the 10th - what time would that be?
Hope you have a wonderful day, folks!
City C. Glad to hear that
Yes happy I like that also, because its a thread where there are no CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS, and you can be as silly as you want to be and just enjoy yourself. ALTHOUGH at times people might place a BOUNTY on your head LMAO, which by the way since the BOUNTY, cbel has not spoken to me since. Hope she's not watching Dexter for ideas lol
Clyde: Did I miss a post? Was there really a BOUNTY out on you? How dreadful! I would never be a party to something like that.
Or maybe I would. I'll have to get back to you.
Hey!!!!!!! When did you take that picture? I didn't think you could see me watching you
I hate the Dentist, deathly afraid of him, If they would put me under I would be okay with that.
Christmas Special - Nestor the long Ear Donkey - cry every time love it
All the South Park specials are great... is there a better Christmas hero than Mr. Hanky?
Ummmmmm cbel in a tight,black ninja suit. YES lol
cbel - not meant to offend, but to compliment
Lunch time seems to be a busy time glad to see everyone is in such a playful mood...
OMG, Clyde, did you use "ladies" and capitalize it to get my goat?
Anyhoo, despite that, you and any other "gentleman" are most certainly welcome to CC HL HH! Next Wednesday, 12/10, around 3:30 pm! You'll see from the RSVP thread that Nicole is looking forward to having us -- and she is just fine with BYOB:)
http://www.hackettstownlife.com/forum/71589
BTW, "South Park" -- no thank you. I'm all for sarcasm, but those kids are gross. Same reason I didn't like "Beavis & Butthead" and "Ren and Stimpy."
I'm with you, Hopeful, I don't like those shows either and probably for the same reasons . . . but, I do like the reality shows that were mentioned before - was that you that loves them too?
Hopeful in H-town, no hidden messages were behind my post. No attempt at humor. I was just saying it seemed like girls day out, kind of like SueR thinking Happy Hour was more my thing. Also I want to stay incognito lol
I wouldn't expect women to appreciate the pure unadulterated genius that is South Park any more than I would expect men to be able to sit through a single episode of something as excruciatingly mind-numbing as a reality show (unless it was loaded with super hot chicks with very little in the way of clothing, obviously).
To each their own...
LOL, Clyde. I completely understand. The idea of meeting you all in person kind of freaks me out -- on so many levels, lol!!! Anyway, I was, of course, JK with you:) You should come anyway, but someting tells me you'll be in Pennsy?
Happy, I do not know those VH1 reality shows that SueR was talking about. I would probably like them, but I have to be careful of getting addicted to yet something else on a screen! See, like now I have to do some work, and yet....checking another thread!
To each her or his own, ianimal:)
I kind of agree with you about these shows, although I happen to dislike most reality shows -- I don't even watch "Idol." In fact, I have long thought that "The Three Stooges" and "Monty Python" and "Benny Hill" appeal more to men rather than women.
You're right, ianimal, about it being "mind-numbing" and hence the attraction I believe. Although sometimes I ask myself, "why, oh why, am I watching this?" But, that also happens to me with this forum sometimes wherein, I say "why, oh why, am I checking another thread when I've got to go do ______________" Who knows?
IDK, Clyde. Somewhere along the way I got the impression you either live in PA or go there a lot? Sorry! I used to live there, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, JK, LOL:)
Hopeful, I live here in H'town, nor do I go to PA alot, at least this side of PA. I go to Philly. But my travels usually take me East
Clyde, I must have been having one of your hallucinations:) Don't mind me...
Hopeful I also lived in PA and I also agree that I would not wish it on anyone. Having said that I have to say I was in Stroudsbug last Fri day night. I have always enjoyed Main St and Stroudsburg in general. Great Restaurants. Sherman Theater. It was so beautiful. The streets were lined with lumanaries leading the way to the tree lighting in front of the courthouse.
Everyone have a wonderful sleep and a good day tomorrow.
I used to live in PA too - a little town off the Main Line called Manayunk - what a great place! I miss it, but NJ is my home - I grew up here!
Everyone have a good night and thanks for all the wonderful topics today - you guys were cracking yourselves up today! :O)
Hmmmmm, mmmmmmh - back on the bus, Gus .... ooops, wrong thread, but I've got that song going around and around in my head . . . no need to discuss much, just listen to me . . .
Firefly, even as I was dissing PA, I was thinking about Stroudsburg, too -- that is a cute little town. And, Clyde, of course Philly is the best. So maybe PA is not so bad, right, Happy? ("The problem is all inside your head," she said to me.)
I was thinking just now that, back in the day (a couple weeks ago:), we would get to the big milestone that is looming now (2500) in a matter of hours with the concerted effort of the day and night crew. We are so much more laid back now! Wonder how it will be if we're within striking distance of 5000 by Xmas?
"No need to be coy, Roy, just get yourself free..." But not of this thread:)
SueR, how did you find that out about YummyTreats? And another round of "Guess that Gender" comes to a close! LOL!
Was watching my shows;
Pushing Up Daisies
Private Practice
Dirty, Sexy, Money
Along with Carolina vs Michigan State
and Rangers vs Pens
I'm not asleep, cbel, but I'm heading up now.
Clyde, I saw one episode of that "Pushing Daisies" show. It's pretty good! Kristin Chenoweth is brilliant, funny, and beautiful. She's writing a memoir, in which she talks, among other things, about being adopted. I wish I could have seen her in "Wicked." Did you see her in "RV"? She played Jeff Daniels' wife -- the family that was stalking Robin Williams' family. she was hilarious.
I missed "A Christmas Story" tonight, Calico. Darn.
Nite.
Morning All,
I recorded A Christmas Story and Rudolph. I will watch them a little closer to Christmas. I watched that Millionaire Show. it was interesting. Yet another reality show. I do like them. Fact is more interesting to me than fiction I guess. inaimal....it's a girl thing I guess.
My sons love that movie and watch it every year I have never really liked it that much
Did you see the double rainbow in the NW this morning? I was the lunatic stopped on 46E at Budd Lake taking a picture of them going right into the lake! The weather guy on WRNJ said it was pretty unusual to have a rainbow in the morning. Cool!
Yeah, SueR, I watch "A Christmas Story" all day and night Christmast Eve while I'm wrapping presents. It's all last-minute for me.
Have a great day everyone.
Did anyone else get a FORBIDDEN message. Or was this a new form of a BOUNTY on me?
Oh, yeah, Clyde. For a few minutes I was Forbidden to enter the site. Chris up to more mischief I guess! I wondered if it was just me. Is there a BOUNTY out on everyone now? LOL!
I thought it was yesterday that I got Santa needs to decide if your comment is naughty or nice. It might have been the day before. Very cute and just my type of humor. I love it.
SueR - are you prego? I was not on most of yesterday lots of work to do and then the dentist, who I truely hate to go visit and I need to go back to again. Then the good news is oldest needs braces wahoo another bill. Believe me I am not going soft, I think I was just having a bad day and I read Max's comment in the wrong tone. So I said I was sorry I wish more people would say it.
Hey, cbel spoke to me on another thread. I thought she was mad at me for something, because I haven't heard from her in a while. Just wanted to know if I did something to offend her. I hope not, I do not like hurting FRIENDS
No you dont seem hormonal but on the Hospital thread you said you were there getting a ultrasound of your baby........so answer the question, are we getting another HL soon?
Hi everyone. I've just been in a quiet mood. Not mad whatsoever. Not offended whatsoever. Not posting much, but reading all the time. Sometimes it's fun just to sit back and listen to you guys.
Here I am, guys! Missed the milsestone again -- darn this work. It really gets in the way of my HLing!
Hope all are well today. I haven't seen Happy or ianimal this morning -- who else is missing and why?
BTW, SueR, I meant to thank you for the great shot of Jack Nicholson yesterday -- "The Shining" is my favorite scary movie of all time. Maybe his crazy mantra is the theme of this forum: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
Oh, Christine, where are you? And where has hockeymom been? She did say she'd be away for a while, but it's been too long!
Firefly? Beanzer? Dolly?
Actually, I think I'll stay away until SueR stops posting for 17 minutes and reads "The Little Soul and the Sun." Or did you read it, SueR, and not like it and don't want to tell me?
SueR: I'll be out till late this afternoon and will check back in when I get home. I was trying not to nag, but I'm really looking forward to hearing what you think of it. See you later.
Hey Hopeful, I'm here - wished everyone a good morning already and everything - thanks for asking about me though - feels good.
Hi happy! I did miss your good morning. Well, glad you're still "happy2bhere"!
SueR: Still home. Glad you liked it. What I love is "I've sent you nothing but angels." Helps me deal with things I might see as problems and know they're there to help me learn.
P.S. The SueR/Clyde back-and-forths are hysterical!
cbel, are you starting a position in the other thread to get Clyde bumped (off)? Where do I sign?
SueR S
et tu SueR
Did you see the most recent Google ad? "Goodbye to Yellow Teeth!" Good one.
Hopeful, how can you say that to me when you have never seen me, at least as Clyde LMAO
Doesn't prego mean "you're welcome" in Italian?
I still haven't shelled out the dough for Rosetta Stone, but even I know THAT much, lol.
Major computer problem (laptop cord left at work); I can't work on this old monster. "Talk" to you guys later.
Will my gravatar show up when I write from a different machine?
I think we should change this Topic to " the Clyde and SueR Comedy Hour" You are totally better than Sonny and Cher. Leaving for HH @ Mattars anyone else want to come?
Some people who post on here actually know me, but by my real name. But isn't me being a mystery man exciting lol
Clyde: I love your postings. You have a wonderful sense of humor. But, for me, I like reading about people on the "Poll: Tell us about you". I like to know whether I'm talking to a man or woman and I like to know what generation I'm talking to.
But, again, that's just me. No criticism intended.
Who is Clyde Potts? Are they a mysterios woman with a past? A shoe salesman? A flight attendent or maybe a priest? Stay tuned to find out!
Well the last few posts seemed to have shut this thread down for the last 45 minutes. People where are you? Hello, Hello, (((((((((HELLO)))))))))))))))))))
Getting back from HH and putting the kiddies to bed - hope you can all make it next time. We had a really good time and Mattar's was great!
Now, I'm off to bed - good night, sleep tight . . . you know the rest :O)
Im here too. Just so tired. Been so busy at the store all I can do is crash when I get home. Calling it early tonight since I will work til midnight tomorrow.
Hi everyone,
My powercord was picked up by a colleague at work -- I'll get it tomorrow. Whew! I thought I lost it.
Sounds like a lot of the regulars were at the HH at Mattar's -- maybe that's why it was so quiet tonight. Sounds like they had fun, too!
Maybe I'll make the Xmas party -- any ideas where yet? Not the Pump House, I guess:) Maybe Fujiyamas? Just Made Bakery? We're having a coffee & cupcake HL HH at C'Mere Cupcake on 12/10. What about Bensi's? We could have drinks and/or dinner there. Or we could go back to Mattar's, but it sounds like you guys like to mix it up.
I'm going to sign off for now -- early for me, but I can't stand typing on this clunker. Nitey nite!
Good nite everyone, I believe the Holiday HH is going to be at Frankie and Johnny;s. Check with Calico but I believe no one reach out to her and there is an excellant band playing. Good Night
Good morning everyone TGIF it is suppose snow on Sunday....Hope everyone has a good day...
ImOnMusky cbel - geez SORRY
Also I have not read any of the thread on the poll: Tell us about you, so I do not know anything about anyone, that way I can judge you by how I interact with you here. Not prejudged by how you look or what others may think.
What if we take this thread to 3000, close it, and open up a "last to post, part 2"? It's such a lighthearted thread for the most part and I would hate to see it end.
So who's going to be the last one to post??? I like this thread it is lighthearted not into anything to heavy
Clyde: Good morning. I bumped up the Poll. Some HLers go to HH to get to know each other. Some of us will meet at CC HH. The poll is another way to learn about one another. Not for prejudging at all, in my opinion.
GOOD MORNING, Everyone! Have a happy Friday!
cbel - I think a "last one to post Part 2" thread sounds great!
I know, cbel, thats just how I like to know people. Like when I start a new job, I don't want to hear from other employees about the other employees, because there might be a conflict between them. Like to make my own conclusions about people. From talking to you on here. I have concluded that you are a very sweet person, (until lately) lol just kidding.
I love you, too, Clyde (most of the time). I think SueR put it beautifully. For me, it's easier to appreciate where a person is coming from if I know, say, if they're a parent. It also helps me understand why a poster has a certain point of view if I know if they're 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 or more.
I respect anyone's wish to be private, but the poll only asks for a thumbnail sketch of ourselves and I don't think it's meant to be invasive.
Well, enough from me. I'm ready to get back to kibitzing!
I just posted on the poll and read about others very general question nothing intrusive, just
"the basic facts" anybody remember what show the line is from....
Thank you, right on Dragnet, should have never put my age down I'm really only 30 at heart maybe even 28 LOL boy I really feel old...
"Just the basic facts"... I associate that line with a song, not a show.
Anyone know which song?
Give that lady a Pink Ci... well, THAT would be inappropriate, LOL...
How about a copy of The Wall? Nice job, SueR (-;
I need some information please, just the basic facts, can you show me where it hurts - Pink Floyd - but I can't remember the name of the song!
City Chick: I'm glad you put your age down. I always got the impression you WERE 30. In the poll I said I was 65 going on 40 something. I'm happy to have a peep on this forum!
BTW, I would never believe I'm in my 60's but my body parts assure me that I am.
P.S. And I don't mean peep as in "flaming."
Clyde is kind of married like being kind of pregnant OOPS! you are of the male persuassion read your poll hi.
So now I see how it works.
When cbel puts the pressure on Clyde, we can get him to do stuff! Hmmmm....very interesting! Could come in handy one day! :)
SueR
What you talkin 'bout Willis lol
SueR: I suggested way back somewhere that OUR Clyde Potts may be a reincarnation of THAT Clyde Potts. Hey, you never know.
Gee, Clyde, I guess you still ARE our mystery man.
Poor Clyde, still gettin' heat. Me thinks he LOVES it.
See you folks later. Gotta go to the laundromat and wash everything I own. Why do I always wait so long?!
As long as HEAT is in jest.
SueR why oops for: you are still fun to pick on. Are you being FRESH again lol
I hope you all haven't forgotten about the Shiba Inu puppies? I haven't, they have gotten so big.
http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.45.swf?cid=317016
Okay, maybe we should hit 2600 and then start a new forum for all the "shiny happy people holding hands." People aren't really posting, maybe because of the long loading time?
And thanks to those veterans who went ahead and revealed a few things about themselves (and the posters who convinced them to do so:)) -- it's nice to know that there are people my age (40s -- okay, late 40s) and older as well as younger!
what is going on today? Did Clyde, SueR and cbel run out of things to say to one another? I have about 20 minutes in my day open and I wanted to catch up but no one is here. So sad
Hey Just Asking! I'm here (albeit momentarily) - it was great meeting you last night. Hope you have a FABULOUS weekend!
We're off to see Frosty in Netcong tonight and making Christmas Cookies tomorrow with some friends to give out to the neighbors.
It was nice last night and we wanted to meet you and some of the others too. Are you going to the CC on the 10th?
I think we're going to be hitting 2600 within a few posts and I'm going to start the new thread . . . what do you guys think?
Ready for Last to Post - Part Deux?
ATTENTION - ATTENTION!
This thread has gotten too long and takes forever to get the last post . . . so, please find us at "The Lounge" thread to continue with the sharing of all happy, shiny people holding hands thread.
Be there or be square!
I cant help but post here. The lounge is cool but its not the last post.......kinda sad
Good morning everyone! I went to the lounge first today because the old place closed. Clyde turned out the lights. Then I noticed that some people actually ignored the closing and posted anyway. Can't they read?! I'm gonna find out who they are.
Well, they're my old friends who just don't want to let go. And neither do I. So if the door isn't locked, I guess I can stop by when I need to. Who needs lights anyway?
Still be best thread see everyone is still stopping in....I agree cbel there's no place like home...
I will be here as long as it is open and be visiting the Lounge too.
Can't
Won't
Stomps feet
GO.....
Can't and Won't gooooooooooooooooooooooo!
so for the race to 5000 by Christmas, are we only using this thread or are we adding this threads total to the Lounge total? I think we should do both, does everyone agree?
That seems reasonable, Jill. Clearly people do not want to abandon this one. It's true, change is hard. Who said that? Was it SueR on this thread or Firefly on the Lounge thread? Uh-oh, this could get dicey.
hmmm change.... Maybe we can make January 20, 2009 the official last day for this thread and only use the Lounge.... ("Change" - Obama will be president)..
Those puppies are a bundle of energy. They never stop. Did everyone have a good day?
BTR: This thread may peter out, but I don't think it will ever end. It's in our blood. For me, I feel like I will be an empty nester again if I let it go completely.
I don't know quite to explain how I feel about this place, except that it's kinda like my "blankie."
Maybe we can get bunk beds and sit up all night talking, with flashlights, and blankets over our heads.
Hey! Clyde!! I know you moved all your stuff to the new place, but you can still keep an extra set of clothes in the bottom draw here!:) SueR
SueR now I have to wear clothes around you LMAO
Yuck, Clyde Potts first your sort of wife is a rubber doll and now you arent wearing any clothes while you type. OVER SHARING
God I feel like I've abandoned a friend or some kind of deserter. I did post on the new one early this morning this is kind of sad...(you will note that I am a little Melodramatic it's part of my hidden charm)..
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Not yet, please! SueR: Help me out here. Clyde? Christine?
I
need
to
taper
off
slowly.
Keep it open.
Firefly: I will stay here with you.
P.S. If anyone wants to move to What does it mean when you're the last one to post - part 2, then maybe I'll go.
Clyde: Do you remember the song that starts with "I think I love you"? Well, that's from me to you, my "sort of" friend.
Good morning I'm a awake, don't want to be but I think I'm awake...Hope everyone has a good day...
cbel....Help I want out of the house. Fever I think is down to almost nothing. Cough is worse. I have 2 questions today.
1. Why am I paying so much for cable when in reality if you watch more than 2 hours a day most of it is crap! Seriously thinking of knocking it right down to the very basic.
2. I do watch all the house hunter type shows. The couple is always so concerned with having 2 sinks in the master bathroom. This is weird to me. I do not like to share my time in the bathroom with anyone. Wait your turn is my thought. I would have rather had 2 sinks in the kids bathroom actually. 2 sinks = 2 kids washing up and brushing teeth at the same time. Now go to bed. LOL
Any comments.
Firefly: Question #2 - And why do they always have to figure on another $20K or so to redo the kitchen?
And I'm with you on the bathroom. I like my own private space.
It's called a bidet I think. Really granite. It's nice but whatever and Oh I really wanted Stainless. Let me tell you about stainless. Been there and done that. No thanks.
I'm with ya on the 2 sinks in my bathroom - I want my time alone in there! I have a hall bath with 2 sinks which is great for kids, but not for me. No thank you!
Granite - what's the big deal anyway? You're made to feel like you don't know a thing about "proper decor" if you don't have granite! tsk tsk.
I do have stainless - ALWAYS fingerprints! And stainless sinks? Don't dare run the water if you want a clean looking sink!
And what about those huge clear glass shower doors? How in the world do you keep those clean?
KinLV: Yes, what's with those shower doors? I've owned two homes and now I'm in a small apartment. If I won the lottery, which I won't since I don't buy a ticket, I would buy a nice, little Craftsmen house, and live happily ever after in it.
That's my dream.
cbel, what the heck is a Craftsman house? I keep reading about them in Dean Koontz novels but never bothered to look it up... I have an image in my head of a house you pick up at Sears and put together yourself, lol.
ianamal: I don't know how to describe the house to you. I only know that whenever I see one, it feels like "home" to me. Since I've been watching HGTV, I know what the house is called.
I wish I had one. And talking about it is making me feel really sad right now, I think I need a cupcake and a hug from some good women on this forum.
Here's a link that might help, Ian - http://www.craftsmanhomes.org/Home.html
cbel - Craftsman is my favorite too - take a look on the link above and let your dreams fly.
cbel - I love the Craftsman style houses! So warm and cozy. Aaaaah.
Ian - you're too funny. Actually Sears did make houses back in the early part of the 1900's. There are still a few around. I know Morristown has a couple. I used to have an old Sears catalog (got lost in our move) - it was fun looking at the house plans.
I LOVE Craftsman style houses! My fav too. ((((((hugs))))))))cbel sorry no cupcakes.
Firefly: I got my cupcake and a hug from CP at the CC HH. I hope you will be at the next one.
Thanks Looks like fun. I am afraid I am not a cupcake lover but will pop in for a cup of joe.
I'm kind of weirded out when this thread goes off the front page, so I'm posting. Does anyone else but me (and Clyde) see that a lot (but not all) of these posts are in boldfaced type now?
icicle Okay, now it's not bold but it's stretched out...
Remember when I stretched out the thread with lots of .............. on 11/26 at 2:09 pm?
Now that I'm back in this thread (and kind of "Happy2bhere," so to speak 8)), I want to tell you that there are a couple of Craftsman cottages right here in Hackettstown. I used to live in one of them. There's a small white cottage at the corner of Center Street and First Ave (at the top of Center, where it's a gravel road). There's another green one on the corner of Church Street and Madison Street. Here's a red one; I don't know where it's from.
There is also a place called Craftsman Farms in Morris Plains, featuring the Stickley Museum:
http://www.stickleymuseum.org/index.php
Lots of nice images of Craftsman homes there, too.
Thank you for the picture, Hopeful. I could really live there. All I need is a good man with lots of money to buy it for me and then live next door.
Did you ever have one of those nights when you have a Cecil B. DeMille-type dream that goes on and on forever and has everyone in it who ever gave you trouble or caused you pain and you keep waking up and telling yourself it's just a dream and then you fall back asleep and you're right back in it? That was me last night.
So it's good to be awake and actually see some SUN!
SueR: You would be surprised. I don't know why he wants to remain a mystery. But I can't tell what I know. It's for him to do.
cbel I will in due time lol
I think I am a very nice guy.
I have been in recovery for 15 years, I was hooked on Phonics
LMAO, Clyde! So you don't read so good anymore? 8)
You ARE a very nice guy and I'm sure the forum will wait for whatever you have to tell us...
I'm often the last one to post on MANY threads!
Hmmm....
I COULD wonder why... but I don't! :)
Let's see if it happens again....?
OMG no one has posted since 424, O maybe I will be the last post (fingers crossed)
Good morning still see this is alive and well maybe we can each 3000 by Christmas??? Clyde 25 years in recovery I was also crazy about Phonics. Have a great day everyone...
City chick, between this thread and THE LOUNGE thread, we are at exactly 3,200 right now (before my posts). Since we had "officially" closed this thread in favor of the new one, we are adding them together.
So, with that said, what should be our Christmas goal? 3,500? 4,000? What say you, HLers?
4000 by christmas would be nice....Now that I understand what we are doing I'm a little slow at times.
Ha city chick and you thought perhaps you were last! Never no way. Just for the record it has been almost 22 hours since the last post here. What the heck is going on?
Firefly, I can't believe no one posted since me oh well this is the first time I had time to post I say 4000 between the two..
SueR: You are too much. I was just going to post that I'm really tired, but I'm going to watch Prison Break and then go to bed.
Of course, I'll look to see what you all were up to between 9 and 10:00 before I turn in. Make sure CP behaves himself till I get back. He loves to be a bad boy!
Sort of duplicate post (in honor of skulking Clyde):
Hey, four more posts (well, three, now), and the two threads will be up to 3,300! Nice work, HL!
Hopeful: I wondered where you were. Glad to see you're still here. I'm turning in now. Good night.
I have not been to work now since December 5th. I have never been out for so long a stretch ever. Feels weird. I keep thinking that I will go back tomorrow but after waking up this morning and having a coughing fit that almost made me heave several times I am thinking maybe not yet.
Sorry your sick Firefly I stayed home today in hopes of getting some Christmas stuff done but here it is a little after 11 and I have done nothing productive
Sorry your still sick Firefly I stayed home today to do some Christmas stuff but here it is after 11 and I have done nothing productive
animal lover 8-balls tend to have that effect on people, JA... maybe you should try something else, lol.
ok, quarter flip - heads I will sleep tails no sleep
tails
tails
heads
2 out of three
I just got a call from my daugters school (Lenape Valley HS) - 90 minute delay tomorrow - I'm not sure how your weather is in Hackettstown, but if it's still snowing, chances are your schools will be delayed also. Good night everyone!
Just Asking; If you can't sleep again, I hope you can at least go to bed and let your body rest. When I went through a no-sleep period, I just told myself that I would let my body rest. That was the best I could do at the time. And then, in time, those sleepless nights passed. I wish the same for you.
Still snowing in town, but no delayed opening in Hackettstown yet. They have been salting the roads fairly well, but who knows what it will look like in the morning?
City Chick: This thread is like an old bathrobe or worn pair of slippers that I will hold onto forever.
Bumping it up, for sentimental reasons...and to put the current total in THE LOUNGE.
First to say good morning. I will be out all day - 8:00 am doctor's appointment, then to Shop Rite, later to the laundromat so that tomorrow I, too, can love being snowed in.
cbel Have a good day. I am off to work. Yesterday i took a 2 hour nap on a desk in an empty office. Today I feel pretty good so far. Good Morning All!
So nice ot be off tomorrow.....I'l be watching the snow from my window.....
I realy wanted to go to the HH...
BrownEyesGuy I'm back here with the good guys because I don't like what's going on with the old owner/new owner. We deserve to know what's going on. I don't like this at all.
Alright, alright . . . you drag me back - it takes forever to get here, but I'm glad to see everyone is safe and sound.
I love you guys!
happy: I was going to post one more time before I turn in and say the exact same thing. Great minds ..... right?
Jonesy Hi and bye everyone. Got a new phone tonight (my Christmas present) and a new one for my son -- one hour in the Verizon store!
Now it's back to work. See you tomorrow -- maybe all day!
pretty sad that I can say good night and good morning on TWO threads before anyone posts in between
Good Morning everyone snow day you have just got to love it....I'm glad everyone is still coming into the thread.....
JA, that is a short night o'sleep! Can you nap today? I finally went to sleep at 2:30, woke at 7 pm to deal with my no-school issues (sending emails, texts, etc.), then I went back to sleep for an hour! It was good. Of course, I'm still in my sweats! But I actually did a bit more X-mas shopping in town. (Hey, I brushed my teeth!)
Okay, back to work...
If I take a nap than I wont sleep tonight. I am trying everything to go to sleep, I dont want to do it with meds. But this has been going on for a good 6 months maybe longer.
OMG, SueR: You couldn't possibly say anything to offend me. You're my forum best bud. We'll talk more tomorrow. I'm turning in very early tonight.
Glad you two worked it out! Wonder how our buddy Clyde is doing? Clyde, hope all is well.
And, JA, I hope you get some sleep tonight!
Hey, let's organize a HL CC HH after the new year, okay? I won't be back until New Year's Eve.
Got my tree up tonight -- and candles in the windows! Back to work now...
Hi, anyone who's here. I just had to drop in to get away from the stress of this weather and rest for a minute in the old place. I miss it alot.
Hi cbel -- I'm still grading papers, but taking a break to say hello! I saw Clyde today and he says he's doing okay. He has been helping someone close to him deal with a tough situation, but it's settling down now. The other event will be rescheduled.
I was playing the "change one letter" game, but the lag in posting time (plus a creative application of the rules:)lol) made me give up!
I hope you and your daughter have a great holiday! I saw your post about the difficulty of holidays -- you have had it rough, cbel. Hope you are coping okay now.
Oh, I went to the cupcake place today -- had the gingerbread cupcakes. If you like gingerbread, you'll love these! Hey, I miss it here, too. TTYL!
Hopeful: I knew you would show up here, Does TTYL mean "talk to you later"? If it does, I'm getting good at this. Signing out for today. "See" you in the morning.
Are you sure, SueR? It looks like CJ to me! LMAO! No matter, we surpassed 2,800 on the "old" thread! Whoo-hoo!
I mean, looking at the count on the list, not cbel's note... lol.8) That would make this one 2806? Whatever!:)
Good morning everyone it must be a late start to the day for everyone to much parting of weather?
Okay, we're up to 3,570 between this thread and THE LOUNGE. We've had a setback today, for a variety of reasons, I think.
Let's go team -- 4,000 by 12/25! Bye for now!
430 in 4 days. Anyone up for the challenge? We've got 2 threads to work with. Wouldn't it warm Hopeful's heart while she's away from home to see that her HL buddies did it?! I'll do my part.
Clyde: Get in here and do your stuff!
cbel
cbel what do you want me to do? I am a former Chippendale dancer ypo know LMAO
Just kidding, don't get excited SueR LMAO,LMAO
SueR lmao, My body would indicate as such LMAO
In previous post that should have been you NOT ypo
SueR: Are you hankerin' to say something smartallecky? Yes, I do write and delete often. I sure am wondering what you have to say, though.
Or was that before you started "The Meaning of Life"? I usually go back and forth when a button is pushed. Most times I can back off, but if it's a big enough button, then I find myself speaking my piece. I try to be a Hopeful or a Bessie, but I'm just a cbel after all.
SueR: I remembered that later. It was a similar situation to my response to a post on the LV forum that really got my goat. I just can't stand when someone has a condescending, I'm just a little better than you attitude. Then I want to go off, but I have to be careful what I say. So, I'm with you.
I was up several times too SueR Now I have to get ready to go to work. :-( I am not looking forward to how cold it is outside. I would love to hang out in the lounge but I can't. Hope you feel better SueR. Good Morning cbel, city chick and Clyde Potts )and everyone else)
Good morning. I've been up and busy since 5:30. They finally salted my sidewalks so I can get out today. I'm way behind.
SueR: I hope you feel better and I'm glad to see your sense of humor doesn't suffer when you're sick. Firefly: Please take it easy. When I've ever been very sick, I found I wasn't really better until days after I thought I was.
I hope everyone has a great day today.
Good morning all
cbel wish I knew you needed your sidewalk salted for you to get out, I would have salted it for you.
Firefly stay warm
Thank SueR! I am hoping you are surviving your company and feeling better. This thread was hiding on the 2nd page. It is still the best thread of 2008!
Cl 
jrsemom Good morning. It looks like we're finally petering out here, but let's try to keep going at least until Hopeful gets back home.
I am not perering out......Sick as dog. One kid sick throwing up for 3 days and now is coughing and sore throat. Now I am throwing up and nause since Christmas. I am calling the doctor today for him. I will wait on me a little longer.
Virus according to doctor..He said he has seen it all month long and we are at the end so hopefully by tomorrow we should be good
Is is just me or has there been a lot of illness this Nov/Dec?
What will the rest of the cold weather season bring I wonder?
I just got back from NYC Times Square, was there for midnight to see the ball drop, was confused when no one else was there but me. I waited until 3am BUT no ball dropped. Did they cancel that this year?
This is truly a safe place to fall. It can get pretty nasty "out there". And we always have our Clyde!
I'm going to sit with my afghan and watch some Law and Order. I have one more day for sarcasm on HL and then have to work on my New Year's resolution. Crap! This is going to be hard. I may have to change my mind and wait till next year. We'll see.
Just an FYI and a BTW, They did drop the ball last night. My friend who lives in Time Square said they were testing the ball two or three times last night. I beg him every year to have a New Years Eve party but he hates New Years.
So how was everyone's New Years Eve? Mine was nice and quiet. We had a late dinner, ice cream at 10:00 and watched DVD's until midnight when we watched the ball drop and went to bed. It was just the 4 of us.
We had a nice quiet evening. Played about 10 rounds of Dominoes, watched the ball drop, and off to bed we went.
Lori...since '73 First post today? Love this old thread -- had a great New Year's but I'm kind of looking forward to the old routine!
Happy New Year everyone!!!
Thanks, cbel. Happy New Year to you, too! Still need an update, though -- I think "some people" got married and some others got engaged? Sounds exciting! I guess I'm going to have to start drinking so I can go to one of those happening HL HHs. I'll take a full one, though (not 1/2), lol.
Welcome back Hopeful in H-town. At the HH you don't need to drink alcohol, Bessie doesn't drink either, and there were others drinking just soda, as for me well.............
Ok, Clyde. Thanks. Hey, what's up, buddy! How's Bessie doing? What's HAPPENIN'?
Hi SueR! I don't know what you want to have on yoru smiley sun, but I see a red bow. Is that what everyone else sees? Clyde, what do you see, lol?
What about the Chinese lunch buffet HL HH? I'm off again -- "talk" to you later.
Hi Hopeful, yes, I wanted the bow. I had the Santa hat first, then the New Years Hat. Going back to the plain sun, it just seemed naked! lol So I put a bow on it! :)
SueRSueR
Take it off, Take it all off LMAO
Bessie: I so wanted to meet the woman who puts up with this man. :)
Drugs wouldn't have helped me yesterday, and no one would have wanted my germs.
Clyde: I just realized that Bessie doesn't come here, and she doesn't visit the lounge, either. So it's up to you to relay my message, my friend.
Egad! I just sounded like John McCain.
Posting, just because...SueR, are you feeling better? cbel, what's up with Bessie and Clyde? He's not answering me...
(I love the fact that this bulletin board system "knows" I am up late and is therefore putting up Ambien and cozy chat room ads, lol!8))
I can sleep; I just choose not to right now! Tee hee!
Hopeful Good to see you.
SueR I love your sun. You are so talented.
cbel and SueR Feel better. I am almost better. Still have a cough now and then but mostly in the morning.
Bessie and Clyde are a nice couple and seem to suit eachother to a T. It was so cool meeting them and the others at HH. Lot's of none drinkers there and a good place to meet up if you are bringing the kids. Worked out well for BEG and DD. She did warm up quickly too!
I am glad to see that we are not letting this thread die!
You know, you can't just check up on this forum. Once it loads up, you feel you have to post. Firefly, thanks for the update on the HH -- and glad to know you're feeling somehwat better. (You too, SueR.) Maybe I will try to make it to the next HH. I'm not sure "they" (whoever "they" are, lol) have decided where it is going to be.
cbel, did you go to the HH? (I know there's a list in some thread or other, but this feels quicker, somehow.)
Okay, off to do all the pre-school chores -- shopping for lunches, making sure backpacks are ready, etc. Enjoy your day!
No, Hopeful, I never did get to HH. I was home for a couple days with a sore throat and nasty stomach problem.
Ooh, sorry to hear it, cbel. You're feeling better now, I hope?
Clude, you are very nice, I don't care what they say about you, LOL! Hope all is well with you and your sort-of DW.
I'm feeling well enough for a Chinese lunch buffet. Do you think we could get a few people who could do lunch? My favorite place is the one in Hastings Square. Should I start a thread, do you think?
Nice gravatar, jrsemom! What kind of frog is it?
Yeah, cbel, maybe a lunch at the Szechuan Royale buffet. It could be hard to schedule with all the people who work out of town, but I don't think they do the buffet on the weekends. But we could do a weekday lunch for the locals.
We also said we'd do a weekend C'mere Cupcake HH -- should we try to set that up, too?
Oh, sheesh, I just saw my typo above! Of course I meant CLYDE is very nice. I'm sure Clude is very nice, too, but I don't know him...LOL! -__-
It is a Crested Gecko named Harley, He used to be ours but when we moved we didn't have anywhere to put him so we gave him to a friend.
Where are the Lounge people over 24 hours you should bow you heads in shame of this.
I agree JA. This needs to stay on the first page and I expect all the regulars to step up to the plate and keep this going. Thank you.
Yeah, my bad, JA and Firefly. Thanks for bumping it up. Of course, we were out of commission for several hours yesterday and today, with the "Account Suspended" problem. I'm glad we have the LVLife forum to pour our "forum maintenance" stress into, LOL! 8)
Good morning. I almost forgot about this place - my bad. There's just so much going on and so many threads to keep up with, and so little time. I don't how I ever squeezed in 40 hours of work a week.
Have a good day everyone. Be careful on the drive home.
You said it, cbel! I am trying to figure out how to squeeze my 40+ hours of work into the week and still keep up with the forum. I'm not sure it's possible, so I may have to back off a bit, especially when we get to 4,000, LOL! 8)
Be careful out there, everybody!
Goodnight, Gracie. And cbel -- where's SueR? How are you feeling?
Night Firefly, citychick, jrsemom, and Clyde!
Good morning everyone. I woke up this am to a strange sound in my apt. Turns out it was some poor soul scraping off his car in the parking lot. He was actually gone by 5:15. I'm so grateful every day, especially days like this, that I'm retired.
You all be careful out there!
Yeah, cbel, I heard early-morning scraping, too. I think it's thawing out, but it's still raining (weather.com says it's a wintry mix), and it's still cold (34 degrees), so who knows?
Be careful everyone!
How sad is this? cbel and I began the day here, and I am ending it. cbel, where are you?
Wondering whether it's going to be icy tomorrow morning? Hope not!
Hopeful: It's just that this forum is getting so busy. It's getting to be quite a job to keep up -- that's why we need you! Good night.
I will be down in Morristown all day tomorrow. Maybe I will try to get over to DePasquales for a service (wax on wax off)
talk to yall after a full day of kissing ass
Okay, I came back. I was just skimming through this thread -- remember when it was cool and fun and interesting to post on this one? Lots and lots of HLers were posting here. Alas, you're right, cbel -- there's just a plethora of good stuff going on on the other threads nowadays.
Well, here's another one, anyway. Seriously, when we get to 4K between this and the Lounge, I'll guess I'll stop visiting here.
Nite again!
Hey, JA! Have a good day in Mo-town tomorrow. I have to go into the office, too. Oh well! And .... the final goodnight from me.
Good Morning. You guys seem so sad but I agree things are slowing down here. Well regradless. Good Morning. It is cold. Better bundle up. My office always is colder when it's like this too so I am bringing and extra layer just in case.
I love this thread, too. When we started to talk about ending it because it was way too long, my idea was to open up a "Last Post - II. " We got The Lounge instead, which is a very nice place, but not the same somehow.
So I still propose LP = II. How do you all feel? Should we continue or just say goodbye?
Good morning, Firefly, SueR and cbel! A busy day today -- I'll check in later!
I see no one has been here all day. Have a good sleep and I will see you in the morning.
Good job bumping this up, Firefly. I've just sat down after a crazy day.
I guess you're right, SueR -- someone will always want to be the last one to post....as long as the admin leaves this up I guess we can keep posting. cbel, I kind of like the Lounge as the alternative for this place. I think it serves the same purpose, but there are only a few of us posting there, too.
Well, I'll check in later again.
Well, I'm up crazy late so I had to post. JA, hope you don't mind, lol! 8)
Nite!
Good Morning Die Hards! Looks like snow is coming tomorrow. Glad it's not today. There is nothing like a nice Sat storm to keep all the snow bunnies happy. Don't forget to get your eggs and mlk and bread because you may be housebound for several hours. LOL
Yeah, I think it'll be a good one, Firefly. And on Saturday night? Perfect!
Hey, we're up to 3924 wih the two posts. Four thousand, here we come!
Hopeful Do you ever sleep? I made my morning post and this is my evening post. Have a good night whoever checks in.
Yeah, last night was a late night. I should be hitting it early tonight. Glad to be here -- things are getting kind of crazy in the other threads. I think I'll go to the lounge, now -- where the happy people are.
Hope your week was good, Firefly!
Is it possible that a full day went by without any posts here? Could this thread really be petering out? There are only about 25 more posts to get to 4K between this one and The Lounge, so I'm pumping it up!
Thanks, SueR -- I meant BUMPing it up, LOL! 8)
Really, though, I gotta go to bed now. So I'll check in tomorrow (today)!
Nite!
SueR, I'm glad you found that out, LOL! 8) I found it out by accident -- it does make a difference!
Okay, 13 more posts between this one the The Lounge to get to 4,000!
HEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!
OMG, "Grease" is on ch. 45 - ABC Family. John Travolta is singing "Greased Lightnin'" right now! Check it out!
Yeah, where is cbel? I hope Clyde is only taking a break!
Yeah, cbel! Thanks! See you on Wednesday!
Firefly? Happy! It should be Happy!
Yes, we did it! And I bumped up your thread, SueR!
(Hey, if you lowercase your R, you're Suer! Are you a lawyer? I never thought of that, lol! 8))
Okay, they're dancing on American Bandstand now! Okay, nitey nite!
Hello and goodbye, Firefly! I hope you have bright and fluttery dreams. Nite!
Hopeful All I can remember about my dream last night was that my legs were in need of shaving. What the hell. Off to the shower.
Morning people! Sorry about having to shave your legs, Firefly. What a hassle! And, yes, how is the ear?
cbel, here we are at your favorite thread! See you and others tomorrow!
Good morning everyone! Nothing much going on at my place today. Just puttering around. Thanks for taking care of reservations for lunch, Hopeful.
This was on the 3rd page. cbel I should have just let it go I guess.
My ear seems okay. Thanks. Healing very quickly. Happy Friday.
Oh, I'm bad. Haven't been here since Tuesday. No problem, cbel! It was fun!
Glad the ear is better, Firefly. Thiink you'll get an earring back into it?
Hey, SueR! Did your post come back?
Big day for the U.S. today! Here's HOPE-ing!
I know been busy. The economy is in the toilet and being in sales region sucks
Everyone is looking at me to find more money. Go sell something and the money will be there
I have been reading quitely in the corner but the forum is really pissing everyone off. Hard to read when you post and 30 minutes later is goes up and others have already discussed and moved on.
Hopeful said she just okay with this thread because we all let her down while she was on Vaca
It 435 and I am still in my PJ's from the night before. I have to go pick up the boys from school, do I get dressed for this special event or not??
Hi, It looks lke 3000 is going to the next one. I was at Wegmann's in Bridgewater. Got home in time for Oprah (no groans, pls) and now I have a cat to feed and supper to make. Two hours of "Lost" tonite so I'll see you all tomorrow.
That's some inauguration thread. Some people sure can rain on a parade! (But not mine!!)
Sorry, JA. I didn't mean to. If it makes you feel better, the only time I ever "win" is when there's absolutely nothing TO win.
Well, Are we on our way to 4K now. LOL After the last couple days this loaded up real fast.
Sue I got out of the car and was talking to everyone. Then went in and talked to the Principal. I just dont care. Whatever
Hi guys,
I have been so irritated with the slowness of the Forum and so busy with work and home stuff I just have not been here. I saw that you were closing in on 3,000, but I just didn't have the patience to get on. I was a bit peeved with the attitudes on the inauguration forum, too.
Anyhoo, I am feeling a bit better now, and I'm very happy to see you guys hit the 3K mark -- JA, I don't think you guys let me down over vacation. It's all good! Hey, LMAO about your pajamas!
At least this thread did load a little more quickly than I expected this time. What has been going on? I HOPE all is well with everyone!
Hey Hopeful!
I have not even read inauguration forum and I don't even want too after what I have heard. Not even going to even look.
Firefly: Good for you! I read everything -- I'm a glutton for punishment!
Hey, Hopeful!
Firefly, good for you for not looking. How's the no-smoking thing going?
cbel, how was Wegman's? I have never been there, but I've heard great things about it.
SueR, where did you go today? Or was it yesterday?
I hope Christine is feeling better and better, and, JA, that the sales team gets some good numbers coming up soon!
What's up with Clyde's and Bessie's plans? Oh, it was good to see Dolly posting, too -- I wonder if she went to the inauguration?
Saying goodnight, Gracie!
Does anyone else see the 2 girls at the top who are making out?, or is it just me?
no one making out over here, on screen or real life.
Did someone say presents? I LOVE presents
Clyde, your vision has returned! Or should I say your visionS have returned! Yippee!! LOL! :):)
Clyde does that's for sure! Clyde quit mixing up your sites and SueR..... where have you been?
No, SueR and Clyde, I did not and do not see two women (or do you mean chicks as in Easter chicks, LOL!?) making out anywhere on this page. Are they still there? It's not the background of the Secret Love Letters ad, is it?
Maybe when he gets back from his weekend away he'll clue us in. Maybe he and Bessie really did finally wed and take a trip!
Nothing since 7:26 pm yesterday? This forum is getting so busy that I'm having a hard time keeping up, But I'm here. Love to you all and good night.
"As in Easter chicks" - No, No, No, they're after me. Help, run, hide! I'm on fire, get the extinguisher, stop drop and roll.....
What a flash back. Don't do that to me Hopeful. My house is a marshmallow-free zone ever since cousin Flaming Peep nearly burned the place down. Just the mention of those things makes me go over the edge. And that season is coming up!!
GC Clyde - Either that or she's been hitting that Heineken in the picture.
I think I'm off to a therapy session.....
Sorry It's gonna be me. I am sneaking this in during the Super Bowl. I will post on every thread above it so it goes into hiding.
I'm not sure what's going on here, but I think I want to jump in until I figure it out.
I'm getting an urge to change my name. Norton is already taken. Maybe I'll be Horton. Just thinking.
I can identify with Horton who hears a Who, but actually, someone on the Forum seems to be masquerading as Norton, so I was thinking of going undercover as Horton.
It's probably a bad idea, though. I should stay out of trouble. "See" you tomorrow.
So I have been avoiding coming in here I sneak in and to my surprise there are posts! GUYS YOU ARE ADDICTED!
Hopeful.....I could not get the song out of my head after reading JA's post and my response. LOL
JA, that's one of my all-time favorites, but I have trouble choosing my one favorite song and artist for that other thread...
Firefly, I can't remember -- is that other one by Tina Turner?
Odd, cbel's and Christine's late-night posts just showed up on my view of this thread.
Yes, Christine, for some reason people (i.e., we) think they're really going to be the last to post, lol! 8) I don't think this thread will ever end...
This is still the best place to be on the forum. Where everybody knows your name. And they're always glad you came.
cbel, it's more like "where everybody knows your gravatar", cause even when someone changes their name, we still know who you are! And we are still glad you came. :)
SueR
LETS NOT GET CARRIED AWAY LMAO
Yes What's love got to do with it? is by Tina Turner.
Clyde ...really you need one.
Hopeful I hope you are up late or this might just get buried!
Good night Lounge Lizards!
JA Love Shack....Baby Love Shack..Your'e WHAT!!!!!
Okay, doing my part to keep this on the top of everyone's minds!
SueR, speaking of gravatars, I think you need to teach ianimal how to give his Steelers gravatar a crown, since they are the kings of the NFL! Did you see he's calling himself SB champianimal now, lol! 8) Hey, I think you should design one for Clyde Potts. He needs a little something by his name! Come on, Clyde!
Firefly and JA, You're what? Tin Roof, rusted! Love Shack, Baby, Love Shack!
happy2behere!
I ve been resisting long enought... never thought of posting... until you revealed your identity!
!Hasta la vista baby!
Well Hello World! What Up!
Is Happy Hour really another whole week. I love drinking for an hour (okay already or 2 or 3 hours) and still getting home early! Plus it is so interesting.
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
Want 'em all? I got 'em!
Rebecka,
In the absence of Jan (I've been wondering whether Norton is Jan?), I am copying pasting the latest thread on the next HH. They are voting on the location, but the date is set for next Thurday, 2/12.
http://www.hackettstownlife.com/forum/97300
Hopeful I was wondering if Jan was lurking somewhere too. There are an awful lot of new angry people showing up.
Rebecka, The next one is on a Thurs. Not sure if I will make it on a "school" night but I will catch up to you soon.
Good morning everyone. I just noticed something. This thread was started on Nov. 5, so as of today, it's 3 months old -- with 3083 posts!
See also: the Lounge.
Firefly, I know what you mean about the new angry people. It's kinda weird. Although I wasn't thinking Norton is so angry -- of course, I haven't necessarily following all her/his posts -- I just noticed that s/he seems to bring up news stories, but without the links, lol! 8)
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
I am all over that one, Clyde Potts 24-7-365! (Of course, I mean the quote, lol!8))
Clyde, I tried to use that quote tonight at Back to School night at the high school (SueR, were you there?), but I couldn't remember it, LOL! So much for the life in my years:) Sometimes there's more life than at other times! 8)
Hi SueR -- BTS night was fine, I guess. A pretty good turnout for a cold night, but I had my 10-year-old's basketball game the middle school before it, so I was out and about, anyway. We missed you, LOL! 8)
Hey, SueR -- watching Sex and the City right now. Where are cbel and Clyde? Firefly, JA? I know GC is doing his moderating thing, so that's good!
Hey people, come back to the Love Shack!
'Morning all. So much to read--so little time. Last night I took a break from 9-10 to watch Flashpoint, new this season, and very good, I think. Anyway, after it was over, it took me almost an hour to catch up on all the posts. Today is a run to the library to pick up a couple of books I reserved, then a stop for some cupcakes, then the rest of the day with a good book, a carrot cake cupcake, and you guys. All good!
I am leaving around 1:oo to drop the kids off and then we are going to Poughkeepsie (sp) for the night to see Larry the Cable Guy. So, I won't be around much today or tomorrow but I will try to catch up when I can. Have a great day.
Thought I'd bump this up. People are getting very serious out there. Must be the nearly-full moon, Firefly! Love Shack, Baaa-by!
Hopeful thought she was the last to post but she's not.....I thought maybe it had finally died.
I was going to move it yesterday around midnight but too many people were on and I wanted to be last. AND RULE the HL World (insert evil laugh)
I have nothing to actually say i just want to be 3,100 post and maybe the last. heeheehee
From out west -- I'm heeeeere! I can't believe I was the last one for four days, above! I had forgotten all about it, truth be told!
Okay, I'm sure someone else will jump on it, so go go go!
Had to come here and hide lmao, that Think Twice thread is getting rough. You know how on Lost they have the group called "The Others" well HL has what some are calling "The Regulars" LMAO
I guess we know who that is, Clyde! Whaddyagonnado?
Listen, if you have a point and you want to make it on the forum -- just do it! That's the point of the whole thing, right?
-Stat- Stat - there was a trip to Hawaii and there was a trip to Europe. There was a boob job one person won one boob and another person won another boob. But everyone has won my heart so I guess the prize is my undying love (unless your my ex husband then you win my undying foot up your *&^)
Can you image 5K? That would be crazy
Well, remember that was 5K between this thread and the Lounge -- somehow Clyde's two posts and citychick's one post slipped up above the first post on this thread, Happy2behere's opening question. We never did get to 5K, though, did we?
BTW, we're at 4704 between the two threads.
(So I think that means I was 4700 above, SueR!! 8))
How do you people stay up so late? I am up at 5:30 am so in to bed at 10:00 or so. Course you may be thinking I am the nut for posting here at 6 am. LOL
Yes, Firefly, I very rarely see 6 am. Today I did because I took the red-eye home. Nice sunrise, LOL! 8)
Thanks for my prize, SueR -- I got it! And I've already had a nap, so it's all good.
JA, hope your ex got his prize, too! LMAO! (I saw that post, but I couldn't get past the individual boob jobs!)
Can't ever say goodbye to this thread...It was this thread back in November that got me started on this forum.
You know, I was the last one for three weeks until you started up again, SueR! (I just checked!) 8)
Hopeful in H-town Well I guess I'm the first one to post this morning. Good Morning everyone and a
Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone
I guess I'm the first one to post this morning. Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone
Happy St. Patrick's day everyone. No need to reply, just go about your day and enjoy. ;)
The forum seems to up all the time lately .....Good morning everyone have a good day.
You're right SueR, how could I ask you to not be your respectful sunshiny self? What was I thinking? Anywho, have a great day!
Ok I came in to say hi....Nobody has been in here for awhile will I be the last one????
Pretty much it will mean either the site is finally off-line for good, or everyone else is dead, or it has been so many years that no-one, not even the last poster really cares anymore.
Sorry, jrsemom, SueR, citychick, and chiman. Once you load it up, you gotta post! 8)
Just a few flakes on my balcony at 7:15. The sun is supposed to come out soon. I'm waiting.
There was a dusting on our cars this morning. But that was about it. I honestly just thought we had a frost.
Very small bit of snow, in huge flakes came down. Was all over the roof of all the houses and was on my deck. Minor dusting, but yes, snow.
Going through something?????Cute.... it really did snow you should be ashamed questioning my sanity LOL
Your to funny. Since I've stop smoking anything is possible....I question my own sanity
Both my sons where born in March so was my father....Strange month March it can be so spring like or a blizzard. When my younger son turned five we had a terrible blizzard and no one could come to his party except by neighbors children. Aren't you happy you just got this piece of useless information LOL
Just dropping by to say hi and Happy Spring!!! oh yeah and to bump this up again :) it's been a while for me...
No No you can't close down the thread this is the most exciting thing going on in my life at the moment. God am I in trouble.........
Can't blame me for trying. How is everyone today? I am trying to find motivation to get some things done today. I am just not feeling it.
Of course. Feel free to grab one of the books now and bring yours later too if you want. Doesn't matter either way.
Glad you -- and quite a few others -- came out to CC today! Nice time. Go check out the books, people!
You know what? I'm taking 3,200! Wow, two milestones today (I've posted 200 times on HL2.0)! Cool!
SueR, you didn't even have to remind me, LOL! 8)
WTG Hopeful. It was great seeing you today and everyone else as well. Can't wait for Wednesday.
Great to meet you and jrsemon hope we do something like this again soon it was really fun....
Maybe if you were the last one to post. But you're not. You've been saved.
Uh oh! I don't want to be a toad!
Sorry but you cannot post on this topic anymore. It is finished and I am the last one to post. I will let you all know what happens tomorrow. Thanks for participating.
SueR, I have plenty of cereal in the house. I don't have to go shopping for any. Is there a joke I am missing about the cereal thing BTW. lol
Good morning everyone. My DSL was down this morning so I haven't been able to get on line. It was horrible.
Mmmm, and Cadbury eggs... With the gooey stuff inside? Yum. Hey, I feel like hopping, too! 8)
Cbel, you've got my attention. I also like those mini cadbury eggs. They're a little plain and boring but they're still good.
Hi everybody went to the happy hour tonight and it was really fun to meet so many new people
anybody still color eggs for easter??it was so much fun when I was a kid,never bought the kits though always used food coloring .
I didn't last year and I am not again this year. Maybe next year. My kids are happy searching for plastic eggs with candy and money in them.
Alisonchocolatier Hi everyone no one has posted yet today .....Anyway happy2bhere posted this thread on November 5, 2008 so on Sunday this thread will have been running for 5 months I think that this has got to be some kind of record don't you???? This was the first thread I ever went on and now look at what has happened to me .................
Good morning -- I don't think anyone will stop posting on this thread...! 8-)
LOL, Shakira!
Hi jrsemom -- all's good here. We went to Brooklyn for the day -- it was fun! What are you doing for your vacation? Going anywhere?
Hi everyone it is 5 months ago today that this thread began....Happy anniversary ......
You guys are so right -- I can't believe it's only been 5 months.
Hey, ginger, I wonder if there really is a Guinness record on the longest thread on an electronic forum? I'm going to check it out. Stay tuned! 8)
Sorry to break it to you, but by record holding standards this thread is really small. There are multiple boards/newgroups/etc I participate in that average threads are in the 20,000-30,000 range. And multiple ones with threads going to the hundreds of thousands. (plural) Think of something like a NY Yankees board right after a game - and with all sorts of Yankees haters posting juvenile taunts in between the fan's posts. What happens here in 5 months goes on in places like that in one hour. I don't participate but I've heard there's a World of Warcraft forum with some of the highest traffic out there. I would think you'd need a number over a million to even be thinking about contacting Guiness.
So get working people. ;-)
Good lord, GC! That's incredible! Naive to the ways of the internet world I am. To quote Hugh Grant's character in FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL, "I don't know what the f--- [we]'ve been doing with [our] time!" LOL! ;)
No worries -- we'll just continue our embarrassingly small thread here on HL1.0! 8)
Carry on, friends!
I work in Parsippany and it was like a white out down here very strange now the sun is out Happy Wednesday everyone.....
guess I was last last night and first today ,, mornin everyone , hope you all have a great day!
Hey everyone. Trying to catch up. I kept up with the other forum but I kinda let this one slip. Sorry. I am home now though so between the forum and my DVR I'll be busy for awhile.
yogel Good Morning. It was nice to sleep in my own bed again. I haven't checked the weather yet but hopefully the sun will come out later. I hope everyone enjoys their day either way.
Hey, I was just the 3300th post on this thread! I love me my milestones! Woo-hoo! 8)
Hopeful, we had great time. I would recommend it. We drove Go Carts, went to Assateague Island and saw wild ponies. It was amazing how close you could get to them. We to Baltimore to go to the aquarium. That was about 3 hours away from where we stayed in Ocean City though. They have tons of hotels and condos for rent.
soccrgrl08 does it mean anything that I was the last and only one to post yesterday????????????????
I posted this back in November but I think it's worth repeating. Have a great day everyone!
http://www.thejoymovie.com
I was last the day before. Not only were you last yesterday you were also the only one yesterday.
Doing good! How's baseball practice going? Guess we'll see each other at some games! 8) Batter up!
Baseball practice is coming along. It's his first time playing so he has a lot of work ahead him.
I`m with jrsemom gimme warm and sunny anyday,no like cold burrrrrrrrrrrr!oh yea HI everybody!
Hey everyone, I am hearing or reading we should have beautiful weather this weekend. I hope it will be here to stay.
WOW 4:10 and nobody posted on here yet,hope you al are having a terriffic day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am, yogel, and I hope everyone else is as well. I'm looking forward to an 80 degree weekend and garage sales all over town.
Looks like a nice day today. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and I am happy about it. Enloy your day everyone.
Im with you cbel,80 eould be a nice change from the loooooooooooooong winter weather,HAPPY THURSDAY everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried to post last night but it would not take my message....Hi everyone glad to see you are all still here....
this thread is preposterous.... but the weekend is going to be sunny....thank God!!
I wouldn't want you to feel bad Yogel. I'll be the last to post so you don't have to. LOL
oh no jrsemom can`t let that happen,besides this is the thread that NEVER ENDS rotflmao.
happy monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another hot day today. I finally bought sunscreen so hopefully I won't get another burn.
Good morning everyone. It's another beauty out there today.
Hey, jrsemom: Got any grapes? :)
Morning, jrse! Thought I'd take the mini-milestone -- 3,350! See you tomorrow -- anyone else in for lunch? 12:30 pm (1 pm for you, jrse), Kaptan's Turkish Grill, Main Street, Hackettstown!
It's cool, but not really accurate; the last milestone I posted was at 3,350, and that was only seven posts ago. Even the Happy People Lounge shows 1.7k -- I don't know if that's right, either. Oh well, it's all good! 8)
JA, not coming to lunch tomorrow? Anyone else coming?
OK, yogel. You made me post. Good morning! And, no you don't. But, nice try. Have a good day!
See what happens when I am not around all weekend? As a friend of mine said today, Happy Star Wars Day... May the Fourth be with you.
When was the last time that one of you guys actually posted about what it means to be the last one to post. For not staying to the topic i say that this post should be the last post of the last post thread.
Nice try. Lol When you are the last one to post it means nobody has posted after you. There I got the thread back on track.
I'm not sure we actually want to be the last one to post. I think it's about keeping this going as long as possible, it's been going since November so I think that's pretty good.
Apparently, I'm anew user and have to post on other threads so I can start a new one!
AMommy Good Morning everyone another rain filled day in the Garden State. I think someone stole the sun.....
guess I was the last yesterday,wow it`s beautiful sunny and warm yyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
looks a little iffy weather wise today,oh well just wanted to make sure to post.only one today,who knows???????????
Hi yogel! Good job to you and Firefly and City Chick and jrsemom and cbel and AMommy and hhs and Christine for keeping this going!
Hey jrse, nice new gravatar! Is that the blue morpho?
Morning everyone. Hope all the mama's had a nice Mother's Day. Hopeful, I don't know what kind of butterfly it is, I just saw the pic and thought it was pretty. Blue Morpho sounds good though.
Good Morning everyone, well maybe I'll be the last one to post, have a good day folkes.....
time again to post on the thread that is forever on going!wishing you all a great day!!
Rainy day on Thursday ... One more day and week is over.....Smile it could be snowing
Good Morning. I am first to post today. Perhaps I'll even be last. I doubt it though.
Happy Memorial Day Everyone......God bless our troops and bring them home safely....
We've had a very busy weekend and it isn't over yet. We're taking the kids to the zoo tomorrow since they have the day off school.
Been gone for many days -- hi everyone! And jrsemom, thought you'd be last because no one posted for two days, didn't you? 8) Hey, how was the zoo? Which one did you go to?
We went to Turtle Back Zoo. It was a little cold and we had to deal a few field trips while we were there but we had a good time.
WOW I was gone 4 days and noone posted at all!!
sorry jrsemom you`re not gonna be the last lololol
Oh, man, I'm the last one to post on the "You probably don't have to be reminded thread..." and it really stinks. I'm getting all paranoid!
Hi everyone it's getting really hard to post in here. It takes forever to get to the end and when I do post it's like it's spastic or something OMG
I had a great time in the poconos ,thanks very much but always good to get home.btw city chick,I can relate, I`m on dialup(dsl not available out here in the boonies)so when I click on this thread I get up,get a cup o coffee and make a sandwich and by the time I get back it`s all loaded up.livin out here is good but it does have it`s drawbacks lololol
I have DSL and it still takes awhile to load. At one point it kept freezing my computer.
Hi city chick, jrsemom and yogel! You guys are real troopers and I haven't been holding up my end, so I'm back.
I just got out of the "everybody who hates Obama spout off here" thread. This is a much nicer place to be.
jrsemom: I saw your "don't ask" post on the HL2 HH thread and it made me chuckle. I hope you managed to have a good time.
'Nite all!
What would I do without this thread,can`t do without it kinda like my mornin coffee or any of the bizillion other things I can`t do without lololol
happy saturday everyone!
Good morning all. The sun is finally out and it looks like it's going to be a fine day, especially if I stay away from today's "prego parking" thread.
I think I'll go and check out the Stiger Street farmers' market.
I missed everyone yesterday. I didn't have a chance to even open my laptop let alone come to HL. I am finally caught up. Yay.
hi everyone well the sun is shinning and I'm off of work today and well all in all it's a good day
this was the first thread I every posted on in November I don't know I'd feel really bad if it just disapeared I know everything changes......Oh well
Well then I guess we just have to keep this going then. So sorry to have caused a panic. lol
yea panic!like yelling fire in a crowded theatre lololol
o.k. mornin felow posters,great to be here!
Stop the rain?? No!! Everyone's topsy turvy needs the water!!
PS. I love the peace love and understanding post City Chick. ;-)
Without kids, I never vacation in the summer. I like to go in late Spring or early Fall. No business conference this year either so that means my usual travel is being held off. Unless our company makes a huge sale, I'm figuring to skip it this year. If I was going, I'm currently torn between a trip to Finland/Estonia/Russia and Hungary/Romania (where I've got business contacts in Romania). And then there's a client of mine begging me to go to his wife's place in Croatia.....
thank you GC I don't think one believes in what I say so it was nice that you said that...Hi everybody the sun came out did anyone see it??????Makes me smile
I'm here. I can't believe I didn't post in here yesterday.
Have fun in the Poconos er Tennessee Bessie.
No vaca plans for this summer. :(
I like the weather we have today. We went to a birthday party at Lewis Morris Park in Morris Township. Not too hot, not cold, NO humidity.
Don't worry, you'll get your rain back tomorrow.
--ugh
MikeGuida Sorry guys, we're sitting next to each other here and yet still, we post the same thing at the same time.
Yogel, I don't know if they still exist but there is/was a place in Newton called Deals on Wheels. They had alot of what your looking for.
thanks jrsemom I`ll check it out,I`m in real need.
hi all you faithful posters,have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunshine gone. :(
The power cord for my laptop broke so now I have to use the spare laptop and I don't like it. It is teeny and I keep messing up. Oh well, I'll hopefully have a new cord soon.
Fewer posters because it takes forEVER for this thread to load, even with high speed and a brand new computer! It's only for the very, very b-r-a-v-e...
It dies take forever to load. My DH "cleaned up" my pc and it loads a little faster. I put up with though because I can't seem to stop coming here.
Good Morning. The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day and I have to clean my house. Boo.
Hi when I type the words don't come out for a long time What is that all about???? Good Morning all....
that same thing happened to me a couple of times too,don`t know why,but it was only on this site.
Yogel It only happens on this site to me to, not on my computer at home, just on my computer at work????
Going to try and go to the pool maybe the sun will stay out and I can get a tan Hi everybody
been a couple of days but it sems like i`m not the only one gone a.w.o.l. lol this thread gets lonlier and lonlier. matbe I am the last one hmmmmmmm
Nope. Sorry. I haven't been here cuz I didn't want to talk to myself. How have you been?
Good Morning. Busy weekend for us. Hopefully I'll get the chance to pop in and say hi.
Happy 4th of July everyone is, certainly is a beautiful day, and I hope everyone enjoys the day and no rain....
Ok so I need to vent for a minute. Why is it at 7:45 in the morning some jerk needs to sit outside my house and honk his damn horn for 15 mins. There is no need to wake an entire neighborhood because he/she is too lazy to 1) get out of the car and ring the doorbell or 2) pick up the cell phone and call the person to say, "hey I'm here, come on out". I know many people are awake already but not everyone is. Ok thanks, I just had to get that off my chest. No back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Good morning, enjoy your day.
OMG I'm on vacation so I have not been in here for a couple of days but I'm glad to see that we are still alive and well....
and yet another beautiful day yaaaaaay
o k I posted ,now i`m set for the day,have a good one everybody!
I'm here glad you are here to....Well vacation is over and I go back to work tomorrow I'm working on being grateful that I have a job because I don't want to go back to work......
Yes, please count your blessings. We are counting ours today as we are mourning the loss of DH's grandmother.
jrsemom,I`ll keep you and yours in my prayers.sometimes i forget how blessed my life has really been.
Thank you. We tend to take things for granted too much but need to appreciate what we have and not just expect it to always be there.
I don`t get the page 2 thing,it`s all in one long line when I view it,OH well.good morning to all you posters. have a great one.Don`t know how mine will be,viewing tonight and funeral tomorrow for DS &DD best friend.
city chick yogel: I would say it looks like you're the last one to post, but then that would make ME the last one to post wouldn't it?
Happy Birthday, city chick. I think I'm a little older than you and what I do is listen to Maya Angelou .. She's a good ten years older than me and still going strong .. as is Betty White, Angela Lansbury and Debbie Reynolds, for starters.
When I turned 65 I went to a Senor Citizen's meeting and thought "OMG! I'm just a kid!"

The morning was bright the air was cool and clear as the sun shined high in the sky as the day went by so fast.
As normal the time to meet as you stepped from your car a Queen stepped forth dressed beyond ones dreams
She step softly with me in trail with her veil and as we entered a well known place as the servants brought our fair I sat and watch the looks in her eyes and seen past the pretty shell to were the deepness of the place where her true beauty is
As the night went on I knew that I love this women she can make me laugh and makes me cry and of all things she makes the real me to be set free
We have that connection and I found it that day with a look in her eye and a hold of my arm and a sweet bit of words
For as long as time permits in this life and the next she will have a big part of my heart
For she is the Lady I adore

The Masters house The Black Sparrow’s Inn
I am the Master of a small Inn a long the Dell River, we can house 25 to 50 persons there. It is a Public taproom of the town now it is called the Embers Rest. It was rebuilt on the sight of Black Sparrow’s Inn, which once stood here. It is a quite place along the river, but yet is a travel coach rest over stop. Was a place where many pasted though each day.
Four the last few nights I have noticed beautiful women in black, with long flowing black hair, it was hard not to look at her. I ask the waitress what they knew of this women and none could say. This night she was there till after the bar was cleared for on that night broke my rule and I took over two glasses of our house wine and asked if I could join her in a drink. She said yes me lord and sat with me in the best seats of the house. At which .she spoke of how she has travel all around the world. That now she was just looking for a place to call home. But she was just not sharing if she had found it here in our town.
I had the feelings that there was something different about the women. Is it too late to walk down to the river with you before you call it a night, there was a flair in her eyes. there was some spark between us.We were there on the dock under the moon I took her in my arms due her close. She said no stop please. I have controlled my inner beast for so long but in the passion I may lack control and bite you and takes of your blood only a taste. I looked her deep in the eyes for the answering, then I bare my fangs and bite just breaking the skin as I smiled the dark red blood fills my mind as you gasp I feel your heat pound as I touch your chest. I pull back to let you breath an I reach for a cloth from my coat to tend the wound. As I look for it I find it has healed she looks up at me and her eyes are red like the red planet in the sky
She bows then kneels taken my hand Sir it is you I have been looking for she then kisses it
I feel her fangs nip the shin as she takes my blood in
With a looking her eyes she says Master my lord I am your Queen
I speak rise my lady you stand beside me forever more as we turn back to the Embers Rest which was gone and there stood
The Black Sparrow’s Inn

Hi everyone prayer for it to stop raining so the game will go on tonight....GO YANKEES!
Thanks Y for doing the internet search. Reason I was asking is my brother & family just moved back into town & I know he is going to want to go tree hunting for Xmas. As the wife & I have scaled back to an artificial tree, I have no Idea where to send him but this place was always nice in past years....nice memories taking the family tree hunting around the holidays.
Hi all!Your very welcome B.A F.when my kids were little they loved to go hunt and cut down our trees.One year D.S. got to use the bowsaw next year it was D.D.`s turn,lot of fun and family times.
We usually cut our tree down at Beck's Tree Farm in I believe Mt Bethel. Then we have lunch at Dansbury Depot. We had to go somewhere different last year cuz Beck's ran out of trees but we still had a great time.
Boy It has been really crazy the last coupel of days glad everyone is still posting in here night everyone .....

Dear Russ Long,
Please read this entire thread on air. Zzzzzzzzzzzz. ;)
Had no idea this was still going.....wow.
Boy were my ears ringing!! I THOUGHT someone was talking about me (as usual haha). So I had to come on and check.
Well H-E-L-L-O everybody!!
Nice to see this old thread and just when I was reminiscing about this past year. We had lots of fun times on this thread, going back THREE years ago! (My how time flies.) I've met so many wonderful people on this forum. Some acquaintances, some close friends, some very close friends. There are two VERY special people I have met on here, one who is like a mother and a best friend to me. One amazing man that I love dearly and makes me so happy. He has made 2011 easier for me to get through and I'm sooo looking forward to 2012 with him. :)
So Happy New Year to all my fellow HL'ers!!!! Luv ya all!!
WoW ~ from 2008 till now ~ this thread still lives. Funny, how one seemingly ignorant question created all this. I love how the love has spread and thank each and everyONE of you for making it happen. It's always good to "come home" to something great. Thank you for making this and the "Lounge" such great get aways ~ Have a Happy 2012, EveryOne!
Really?????
I think John C should come in here with his Proton Pack and exorcize this thread! It just... won't... go... away.......
:)
justintime: I thought I did end it four hours ago. I mean it's obvious that I won....I even got a prize.
That you did, cbel, that you did. Congrats!
Now John, about that Proton Pack...
I got my duck jerky anyways!!
Don't we need to call Guinness because this is the longest uninterrupted thread in the history of internet forums in the whole universe ever?
