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  Nov '08 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 SolutionNov '08 even worse when you post the original, and you are also the last to post :) Hi Happy! justintimeNov '08 Calico, you're getting married soon... think of BF... those airline tickets are probably non-refundable.  ianimal Nov '08 Happy to help you Happy :)  Calico696 Nov '08 Look, up on Hackettstown Life Clyde PottsNov '08 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.  cbel Nov '08 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  ,froggy Nov '08 I nominate Clyde Potts as hero of the day -- for going above and beyod the call of duty. cbel Nov '08 see the biggest problem is at mides to bed. I on the other hand am up most nights until 2am  Justasking Nov '08 that is not what I wrote - I wrote Justasking Nov '08 And from nowhere comes Bessie! Fun post guys, some great lines, and that Clyde, what a guy!  Bessie Nov '08 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 Justasking Nov '08 As my mom used to say to us..Night, Night, Sleep Tight, Don't let the bedbugs bite. Bessie Nov '08 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. Justasking Nov '08 Maybe I should start of thread of all my issues Justasking Nov '08 Yawn  Jill Nov '08 Ha! Since it' so late I'll have the longest time between posts...see ya' in the morning! justintimeNov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 Hello everyone! 16 days, Calico - wow - that's coming fast! Yahoo! And Bessie, my dad used to say that to us every night!  Karen in LV Nov '08 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"!  Dolly Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 No, but I learned two things today. Look for mice wherever I go and never go to the bathroom in the dark. cbel Nov '08 The last one to post will be the last one to go to bed tonite. I't won't be me. 'Nite all. cbel Nov '08 in another set of fourms i am on its a game last to post wins  Alex (unicycler) Cur Nov '08 I wonder what will happen if we all hit "enter" to post at 11:59:59. Will the forum explode? cbel Nov '08 Am I the last one to post tonight? Can't be. Justasking must still be up. Good night. cbel Nov '08 Home from church, and ready to keep this going. Happy "Day the Giants beat the Eagles Day". marshmallowNov '08 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.  Christine Nov '08 I love this one upmanship. LOL.  INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Awww - Christine - that picture is adorable! I'm glad they got to visit you this weekend! Karen in LV Nov '08 Has happy2behere ever posted anything before??? Look what happens when she finally does! This'll teach ya hon! monacoNov '08 I came n around 6:30p and it said you ouldnt post and I got so upset! NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!  hristine Nov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 Maybe we should change the title of this thread to "What does it mean when a thread never ends?"! cbel Nov '08 Or "the neverending thread about nothing". Kind of like a Seinfeld episode. Calico696 Nov '08 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  Beanzer Nov '08 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." cbel Nov '08 HA - HA - HA - HA - HA!!! It's alive!!!! Hackettstein, my baby, it's alive!!! Ha, ha, ha, ha!!! happy2bhere Nov '08 just in case you missed the lyrics: Beanzer Nov '08 You shouldve wrote it with the new words. Christine Nov '08 I wonder who's gonna tuck us all in tonight. cbel Nov '08 Careful happy....I know where you live!!!! CalNov '08 Good night, sleep tight Beanzer Nov '08 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. =) marshmallowNov '08 That's alright Marshmallow, gloat if you like, it's all good. Calico696 Nov '08 I think it means your name is "BT Resident"!!! BT ResidentNov '08 cbel - I would love the company. Everyone always bails out around 12am on HL. Justasking Nov '08 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. :) Beanzer Nov '08 egg nog ooh with SC! MMMMM!!! Christine Nov '08 Mmmmm egg nog!  CrunchyMom Nov '08 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... Beanzer Nov '08 Ooooooh, Cal, I like your evil laugh much better. Mmmmwwwuuuaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! happy2bhere Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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! CrunchyMom Nov '08 You were preparing to have your daughter at "7:42" - why not 7:43 or 7:41? That's planning! monacoNov '08 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. happy2bhere Nov '08 Yes, Beanzer...your prize is you get to have a posting below me. ;) INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 This post is SO REFRESHING, after reading the racism and hatred from How much is your safety worth in Hackettstown? post. Clyde PottsNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 wow, I had been avoiding this thread, but finally sat down and read the whole thing just now... you guys are silly, lol. :)  sandy Nov '08 Hey, Clyde! That was our house number when I was growing up. Maybe I should play that number today. cbel Nov '08 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. Calico696 Nov '08 Calico: For me, 5 out of 6 ... 681, 317, 106, 412, 373 and 416. cbel Nov '08 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.... City ChickNov '08 You will have to be satisfied with a great big THANK YOU, Clyde. cbel Nov '08 baby is napping and THIS is what I'm choosing to spend time on??! CrunchyMom Nov '08 cebel, thats the last HOT TIP I give you lol Clyde PottsNov '08 I just noticed, not 1 single post in this long thread from CUT & PASTE Jan lol Clyde PottsNov '08 IS there anything to cut and paste for this foolishness? And I use the word foolishness is the most loving way. cbel Nov '08 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. Justasking Nov '08 White sand beaches, palm trees, blue water, Ladies in Bikinis, Hawaiian Leis (flowers that is lol), sunshine Clyde PottsNov '08 I was having withdrawals from not being able to get here to post for 317 Christine Nov '08 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!!!  Cherie Nov '08 Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . . ponderthisNov '08 Lol Clyde I try I try, but I always get sucked back in :) This is fun tho, hope everyone has a great day! sandy Nov '08 ponderthis: I don't THINK so! Good try though. ;-) Karen in LV Nov '08 SueR: I'm starting to worry about you. cbel Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 JohnC: I clicked on your website link three times before I got the joke. Very clever! cbel Nov '08 nah, changed my mind I don't like 269 I like 270 better; even number rule - odd numbers drool - I'm so indecisive today! Beanzer Nov '08 Hello All Clyde PottsNov '08 Most people, at some time or other, have been overwhelmed and at other times have been underwhelmed... has anyone ever been whelmed? ianimal Nov '08 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? cbel Nov '08 Its getting close. #277. I can smell the pineapple and Hawaiian Tropic now. Aloha Justasking Nov '08 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 Justasking Nov '08 Check out: You're not fooling ME twice, JohnC. cbel Nov '08 Uh Oh! This thread is taking a toll on me. I'm actually starting to look like my gravitar. cbel Nov '08 Why did the chicken...oops sorry, we already did that one ;) Calico696 Nov '08 THIS JUST IN Clyde PottsNov '08 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 Nov '08 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. :) sandy Nov '08 How much wrist could a wrist watch watch if a wristwatch could watch wrists? Beanzer Nov '08 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. Beanzer Nov '08 if a man speaks, and there is no woman there to tell him he is wrong. . . is he? Clyde - I still want to be 317 and I think if I take this thread to court I would totally win. LOL Justasking Nov '08 When women speak, they are NEVER wrong... because we didn't listen to what you said anyway (-; ianimal Nov '08 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! cbel Nov '08 Justasking your appeal has been approved lol Clyde PottsNov '08 To get a free $15 coupon for White Castle, click on this link: 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. Justasking Nov '08 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 Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 wow 2 1/2 hours with no post you guys must be on your way already. Hope it's warm :) Cherie Nov '08 Woooo Hooooo! ! ! ! I'm in I'm in.....should I be scared? Nervous? this is too fun. hockeymomNov '08 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 :) Beanzer Nov '08 Oh thanks; my daughter was born at 3:34....now I need 337 - again, I'll tell you why ;) Beanzer Nov '08 Thanks guys; my other daughter was born at 3:37....coincedence....nah they're twins :) Beanzer Nov '08 339...what's the target? The thread is getting too long to read all the posts! justintimeNov '08 Hockeymom: You'll be sorry .. but you will have a good time in the meantime. cbel Nov '08 I like your intermission, INMCB - happy2bhere Nov '08 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 hockeymomNov '08 The post that we hope WILL NEVER END. Clyde PottsNov '08 longest thread i have ever seen was in forums for RF or SSA the thread had over 28,000 replies.  Alex (unicycler) Cur Nov '08 Thanks, hockeymom. happy2bhere Nov '08 Don't give up Calico, just think when we break the record how FAMOUS we will be Clyde PottsNov '08 "Beanzer, I'm a twin mom too! Fun, aren't they?" Beanzer Nov '08 hockeymom, see this thread to find out how to get your gravatar: Calico696 Nov '08 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 ) hockeymomNov '08 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) happy2bhere Nov '08 I cant keep up with you guys! Christine Nov '08 ok this is the last one..... BrownEyesNov '08 I doubt it, it's becoming additive to see how long this can go.....and I don't want to be the last one..... City ChickNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 BF, says he may actually post in this thread. He thinks it's cool. He has never posted before.....come on BF!!!!! Calico696 Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 I helped him make a gravatar the other night so he could post....hasn't done it yet though. Chicken!!!! Calico696 Nov '08 calico, tell him to post in the other thread... the crick people need to be heard (-; ianimal Nov '08 ianimal you always make me laugh! Christine Nov '08 Calico's Clyde PottsNov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 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. Calico696 Nov '08 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 Christine Nov '08 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. hockeymomNov '08 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! BT ResidentNov '08 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... Beanzer Nov '08 and how come the gravatar I chose is not showing up but this grumpy lookin dude is??  Hockeymom Nov '08 Hockeymom, sometimes it takes a little while for your selected gravatar to show up. Calico696 Nov '08 have not added a comment since for the past couple of nights the system wont let me. Justasking Nov '08 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. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 I'm # 400!! I hope no one has jumped in before me. I have to stop typing!!! marshmallowNov '08 Dunno about that... but she *did* do that pizza crawl a couple of Fridays ago. ianimal Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 One last look at HL and I'm off to bed... justintimeNov '08 All over, justintime... ;) INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 LOL,Reggie.

It's been all consuming, but LOTS OF FUN! happy2bhere Nov '08 Happy Friday night everyone, BF are on our way out to beer & game night across town at our friends. Calico696 Nov '08 I'm calling it a day at poster 466. Nite all. cbel Nov '08 Tis the season tlo win lots at Tricky trays Fa la la la la la la laaaaaaaa Christine Nov '08 Hey Christine, Beanzer Nov '08 Congrats Christine! I went to a tricky tray in Sparta (kids were allowed - so I took my daughter) - We didn't win anything : ( Jill Nov '08 I've always thought that M&M's sold in Hackettstown should be discounted....just makes sense right? Beanzer Nov '08 I won a big fat goose egg at the tricky tray. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 INMC... I can point out where you can find it in the dictionary, but I doubt it would help your mood (-; ianimal Nov '08 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. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Thanks, justintime. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Here's another TT loser. :-(  Slade Nov '08 Good Grief, Bessie, that's an early good morning. Make me #2. cbel Nov '08 Friday stats: first post at 7:07 am, last at 2:02 am, for a cbel Nov '08 Bessie - I won Julie Beanzer Nov '08 Okay if we make it to 550 today Im taking everyone on a cruise. Christine Nov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 great -- thanks Christine... now I have THAT song in my head... CrunchyMom Nov '08 working it to 550. Is there a prize since I won nothing at the tricky tray last night? marshmallowNov '08 bummer about not winning anything marshmallow... I didn't either --- CrunchyMom Nov '08 Aww Crunchy, you beat me. =( Good job. I had 400, so I guess I'll just have to wait for 600 now. marshmallowNov '08 and I can honestly say I have read VERY few of the posts! LOL CrunchyMom Nov '08 Christine, Beanzer Nov '08 Do you mean drivel (inane conversation) as opposed to dribble (what a teething baby does)? marshmallowNov '08 wow you all have been very busy...congrats to all the TT winer great timing with the holidays coming Cherie Nov '08 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! HockeymomNov '08 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. HockeymomNov '08 This thread keeps going and going and going..... Calico696 Nov '08 That was one quick-and-crazy storm.  Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hopeful.. the incident was thoroughly addressed when it happened (and then some). I doubt anyone wants to get back into it. ianimal Nov '08 Thanks so much, ianimal. I thought that must be the case; I guess I didn't search through the prior threads carefully enough. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Thanks again, ianimal. I wonder if anyone on HL attended the march today? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I wonder who is going to hit #550 AND if it's possible to happen by end of day tomorrow - Sunday - any thoughts? happy2bhere Nov '08 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. CrunchyMom Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 531....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... Beanzer Nov '08 At this rate, we're going to get to 550 tonight - maybe we should shoot for 600 by the end of day Sunday ;o) happy2bhere Nov '08 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... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 How good will SNL be w/o the Election Clyde PottsNov '08 Until the leadup to the election, SNL hadn't been relevant for at least 5 years, IMHO. ianimal Nov '08 Hopeful in H, Clyde PottsNov '08 only 10 more now....Hopeful, Clyde is right....it sucks you in and you cant stop...but it is FUN Welcome! HockeymomNov '08 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... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Okay, on to 600 for tomorrow... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. happy2bhere Nov '08 C'mon we can keep going I am still wired from my day! Now Im hungry and want ice cream Christine Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I just finished a tiny Haagen-Dazs Vanilla.....yummmy It must be in the air tonight HockeymomNov '08 Happy, what a great story about your gravatar. I love the fact that those are your daugther's hands holding the violets. Very sweet. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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! happy2bhere Nov '08 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! happy2bhere Nov '08 I know the feeling, it happend to me about 20 minutes ago. Good night, Christine . . . tomorrow's another day. happy2bhere Nov '08 and to all a good night or in this case good morning. Good night John Boy  Firefly Nov '08 Paul Rudd (niiiice), Beyonce (the best) and now Timberlake! Cool. He's so funny! INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Okay, the skits have not been the best, but I am enjoying Timberlake. And Andy Samberg is hilarious! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 What Waht? Who woke me up? SHHHH trying to sleep! Christine Nov '08 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! happy2bhere Nov '08 INMCB, did you see Beyonce dancing her heart out? You're right; she is the best! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Yes, Hopeful..she is such a talent! She can sing, dance, and act like nobody's business. Plus, she is so beautiful. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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:) Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 LOL. Yes, shhhhhh. I heard Christine dances like Beyonce at happy hour Thursdays. Roll the video tape: INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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! happy2bhere Nov '08 Good morning. Wow, what a day yesterday! Bessie opened with 486 at 5:13 am and ianimal closed with 582 at 1:53 am. cbel Nov '08 Looks like a candle to me. Are you seeing my Rolling Rock bottle? BTW, love the sun! Calico696 Nov '08 Okay, this will make it easier to get closer to 600 - just add on!! INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 10 Eagles dancing (that would be in the end zone)! Calico696 Nov '08 Morning All....What a difference a day makes.....at least the sun is out. HockeymomNov '08 Hmmmm, must be football season. Calico696 Nov '08 Okay, it used to be a Mia Bella Candle - now it should be purple flowers . . . what do you guys see now? happy2bhere Nov '08 keep in mind. BrownEyesNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. happy2bhere Nov '08 611....I cant wait to see what # we are up to when I get back home tonight....Keep up the FUN work all!! Hockeymom Nov '08 Do you think we can get to 700 today? It's definitely an in-the-house kind of day for me... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 That's an interesting question, Hopeful. You sure sound like a female to me. cbel Nov '08 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. happy2bhere Nov '08 Not telling yet... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I can't multi-task anymore - my brain's hard-drive is overloaded, but more power to you if you can! happy2bhere Nov '08 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. Clyde PottsNov '08 So it's 7 ladies (or is it lords?) dancing (or is it a-leaping?) You're right, Clyde. It doesn't matter. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Jan's still here, Clyde. You can visit her (or is it him?) on Thanksgiving Day Turk'y. cbel Nov '08 Good one, cbel. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 are we at 5 G O L D rings yet?? in my best singing voice! Hockeymom Nov '08 not likin that gravatar...makes me look unhappy dont ya think? Hockeymom Nov '08 #625 here! Woo hoo. Oh and the Giants are whooping up on Baltimore. Woo hoo again. marshmallowNov '08 Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . . PonderthisNov '08 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? marshmallowNov '08 No, Hopeful in H-town, not a vegetarian. I just morphed over to the Bob and Doug McKenzie version for a second... ianimal Nov '08 Name as Osmond! INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Can someone explain to me the appeal of Dane Cook? ianimal Nov '08 This is fabulous! Are we now open for any topic whatsoever to keep this thread going? cbel Nov '08 What's wrong with a tie, Calico? Should they go to a FG kicking contest after one period of OT? ianimal Nov '08 ianimal, could you do a work project for me, I heard you would be all for it. lol reggie Nov '08 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! :) Beanzer Nov '08 In my best Curly voice (which isn't very good, I'm afraid): ianimal Nov '08 mmmmm-cool ranch doritos. marshmallowNov '08 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. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 I grew up not far from the Entenman's outlet in Wayne....yum discount tastieness. Calico696 Nov '08 Cook- word of mouth marketing, college campus shows, through internet, blogging, etc . . . I think he's obnoxious. reggie Nov '08 All-time favorite comedian from the old school would have to be Don Rickles (go figure, lol). ianimal Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Reggie, you're so right. Carlin was hilarious. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 Carlin is funny, your not. What's your point? lol I kid. reggie Nov '08 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. reggie Nov '08 "The Beast will come in the shape of a woman... most likely one holding a cupcake." ianimal Nov '08 I got Redskins Cowboys on here. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 This is interesting.... reggie Nov '08 Reggie, it looks like "your" wolf is howling at "my" moon. Well done. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I blame my magical 666 powers. The number of the beast is actually 616. ianimal who posted 616? reggie Nov '08 Wow...way to go everyone !! I am back and ready to help in the efforts HockeymomNov '08 Jim Gaffigan INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 My brain is getting ready to explode. Clyde: You still here? Still keeping up? cbel Nov '08 Hockey mom, you need to sign in with an email address and post again. reggie Nov '08 ianimal, you are more closer to being the anti christ than I. Shall we wager? reggie Nov '08 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 Hockeymom Nov '08 Anyone ever eat a bowl of chocolate ice cream by dipping hard pretzel pieces into it? Salty AND sweet... ianimal Nov '08 Click in the upper right "sign up for" reggie Nov '08 Chocolate covered pretzels!! Perfect together, like NJ and you. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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? reggie Nov '08 Your mother "sews socks" in Hell (I saw the Exorcist for the first time on network TV, LOL) ianimal Nov '08 Seinfeld reggie Nov '08 I'll come over... we'll make out. ianimal Nov '08 Well, reggie and Ian - must you take over this thread as well with your "evil" banter? Give it up children . . . happy2bhere Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. reggie Nov '08 First off...Ianimal....what a great idea with the ice cream and pretzels!! yummmmmmmmm Hockeymom Nov '08 Good job, guys - we hit 700!!! happy2bhere Nov '08 empty your cookies. reggie Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Reggie Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Ohhh my this is getting crazy tonight.....and I have to go to work for a while.... boooooo : ( Hockeymom Nov '08 Glade sells ass-scented candles? Should Yankee be concerned? I've yet to see that particular variety in *their* arsenal, lol. ianimal Nov '08 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.  Reggie Nov '08 HA! reggie Nov '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 there. Don't worry al, it's just me, reggie, fighting with my personalities. reggie Nov '08 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. reggie Nov '08 I cant stay away....I'm dooomed....It must be the moon, you are right Hopeful.. HockeymomNov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 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? reggie Nov '08 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. Nov '08 Phil! Where ya been? You didn't come to happy hour to meet Jenny! SHe was very upset! reggie Nov '08 WHAT!!! That's not you??? But then again I do look a little better than Dr. Phibes in my gravatar - not much though... Phil D. Nov '08 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.. Phil D. Nov '08 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 Phil D. Nov '08 Glad you caught that typo, Reggie. I am no gardening tool, lol. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Nice to meet your words! LOL as well as everyone I have yet to talk with Hockeymom Nov '08 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. :-) reggie Nov '08 Phil, I usually get there around 6-6:30 myself. Excuses, excuses!!!! He was bad though, leroy I mean. reggie Nov '08 Lovely to "meet your words," too, Reggie (well put, Hockeymom!). Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 "Badder than old King Kong, meaner than a junkyard dog" Phil D. Nov '08 Definitely don't stress your dog out, Phil. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 LOL Hopeful.....I left to work and came back to say good night all!....Please dont let this be the last of the night... HockeymomNov '08 OK - to keep it going a bit while I wait for my clothes to finish drying - for comedians: Phil D. Nov '08 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. Phil D. Nov '08 Jan's still here, Clyde. You can visit her (or is it him?) on Thanksgiving Day Turk'y. Clyde PottsNov '08 Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . . Clyde PottsNov '08 Go Giants.. BrownEyesNov '08 Rebecka.... Brooklyn??? I'm originally from Borough Park!!! 56th and 13th!! BT ResidentNov '08 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! Beanzer Nov '08 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 Justasking Nov '08 It's afternoon already !! This day is going waaay to fast....Hope everyone is having a good day.... HockeymomNov '08 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 (-; ianimal Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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 HockeymomNov '08 Speaking of "slightly over the top" decorations - have any of you ever seen the guy in Dover off Mt. Hope Ave??? BT ResidentNov '08 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?? Cherie Nov '08 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! Calico696 Nov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 Hey, I'm post 789...Why was 7 afraid of 9? Because 7 ate (8) 9...I know...lame, sorry! Beanzer Nov '08 Duh, that was lame Beanz...what do you do for an encore? Calico696 Nov '08 Anyone ever play the "Battle of the Sexes" board game. We played that at game night at our friends the other night....really lame. Calico696 Nov '08 Peanut Butter Jelly Time... INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 Yikes! nearly an hour since the last post. Can't let it go drifting off my screen...to 900 tonight? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Yikes!! At this rate, Clyde, I think we'll hit 2000 by Thanksgiving - next week! happy2bhere Nov '08 Ok happy2 lets shoot for 100,000 Clyde PottsNov '08 Prizes? There are real prizes? I'm still packed and waiting for my tickets to Hawaii, CLYDE! cbel Nov '08 You know, I've been thinking . . . I think the prize is in the sharing. happy2bhere Nov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 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. BT ResidentNov '08 did anyone notice sockmania is back wonder if they found their missing sock?? Cherie Nov '08 Gosh guys I am tired reading all these posts. Christine Nov '08 Geez, back rub requests...foot rub requests... INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 By jove, I think I got it! Think we can hit 900 by midnight? The night is young... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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! Total nobodyNov '08 Justasking, I'm here, and I should be on and off for the next several hours. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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? cbel Nov '08 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. Beanzer Nov '08 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... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Welcome Nobody! CrunchyMom Nov '08 Shoot, I missed cbel and Beanzer. Maybe we'll see the words of a lot of folks tonight. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 cool, I did it...how many of us were trying to match the post to the time? weird, huh!? Beanzer Nov '08 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? Total nobodyNov '08 H in H-town: Can we hit 900? Piece of cake. The HL night crew has no equals. I am in awe of them. cbel Nov '08 This is great!! I would like to hear about Matter's. They were still working on the outside this afternoon...  Jac's mom Nov '08 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 Beanzer Nov '08 Present and accounted for! INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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! :) Beanzer Nov '08 Finally I can post....I am here! I made it back.....Hello to all and a great Monday evening to you all.... HockeymomNov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hi Everyone! Back from my class - I'll be on for a few hours . . . I can see I'm in great company! happy2bhere Nov '08 Roller Derby tryouts!! Sign me up!!! INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Hi Happy and Hi Ineed....reserve a seat in the stands for me too please! HockeymomNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Hello, ladies -- and everyone! Here rooting for the Bills -- sorry Calico. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Go! BIlls.....are they still getting snow showers there? Friend of mine is heading that way tomorrow... HockeymomNov '08 Beanzer: I have a feeling I'm older than every single person on this forum. No lie. cbel Nov '08 Hello and welcome Someone....but do beware...once in you may never escape! ( said in my most devious voice ) HockeymomNov '08 someone whose been there.. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Now I'm scared :-). This was too tempting to just sit back and watch all the fun everyone was having and not join in... someone whose been tNov '08 For 900, do you want what's behind the curtain or what's in the box? INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Wow, everyone has been very busy - we may hit that 900 within 24 hours . . . happy2bhere Nov '08 882 - I wonder what the record is for most posts on a thread? Chris . . . where are you? happy2bhere Nov '08 I thought we might see ianimal's words tonight. I'm really wondering how the new Mattar's is. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Alright, 883 - and it's 11:00 - Good nite, people and don't let the bed-bugs bite . . . happy2bhere Nov '08 I'd like to see 900 by midnight -- 58 minutes to go. Phil D, Hockeymom, Cowbell, where'd you go? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I hate work nights! I never get to join in on the fun! Christine Nov '08 Ooh, Christine, that stinks! Tomorrow, take a break and go over to the library! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hi Hope...wondering where you have been all night HockeymomNov '08 We can definitely do it, Hockeymom. We're almost there now! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 This is my last contribution to the cause. My eyes are closing. Nite all. cbel Nov '08 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 HockeymomNov '08 I meant last contribution for the day, of course. See you all in the morning. cbel Nov '08 Nite, cbel! Great job. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. HockeymomNov '08 Oh so close......mussssst type morrrrre. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 I woiuld guess he would. He probably is amazed on how long this thread is. Christine Nov '08 Sorry, Hockeymom, I didn't see that. It is not snowing in Buffalo right now, but those guys look pretty cold... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Racing...puff puff...where's Reggie? I can't make the homestretch to 900! Where's Phil D? INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Great, cbel! With one eye open and two fingers on the keyboard:) Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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) INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 hockeymom, Chris is the moderator...his avatar (pic) is eating a cupcake. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Good Night Hope....I am still working but fading...almost time to call it a night HockeymomNov '08 Hockeymom, Bills are about to score, losing 26-20 with 2.5 minutes left in game.

GO BILLS HockeymomNov '08 I will leave the 100 mark to Ineed and Christine My fingers are done typing for the night..almost HockeymomNov '08 Bills lead, 27-26. Two minutes left. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I recorded my hubby snoring and he woke up. ROTFLMAO! Now he is mad. BUT DAM I cant sleep with it. Darn italian nose. Christine Nov '08 Goodnight good luck tomorrow.! Christine Nov '08 Browns lead 29-27, on Phil Dawson's 56-yard field goal. Ugh again. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Here's something I noticed (aka TRIVIA!!!) that I've never seen anyone mention. Phil D. Nov '08 Wow, how am I typing this when I'm kicking a field goal??? Phil D. Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Phil D. Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hello and goodnight, justintime and Phil. It is definitely time for me. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Can't believe this is still going. Good Morning everyone...Hope everyone has a good day city chickNov '08 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.... HockeymomNov '08 keeping coming back to see how it's going. I think we could hit 1000 today. What say everyone City ChickNov '08 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! cbel Nov '08 Afternoon time ! Hello everyone.....it has been awhile since the last post..anyone out there?? HockeymomNov '08 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... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I'm hungry...what is everyone having for lunch. It's yogurt and a tangerine here. Calico696 Nov '08 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 ! HockeymomNov '08 How sinfully yummy Happy....I wish I had some chocolate...Doves preferably!! HockeymomNov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Time to think about supper. Leftover meatloaf and monaco's scalloped potatoes. cbel Nov '08 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. City ChickNov '08 THis is like an episode of Sienfeld.... a thread about nothing, a mega-hit, a thread that last for years and years!! BT ResidentNov '08 BT Resident thanks for the IDEA, Lets make this thread go on for YEARS lol Clyde PottsNov '08 I am staying out of the other threads, justintime yelled at me. Clyde PottsNov '08 Hey! I didn't yell at you, Clyde! Different opinion is all! If I did, YOU WOULD KNOW IT!!!!!!!! justintimeNov '08 yes I know its about YOU-YOU-YOU lol Clyde PottsNov '08 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 : ( Jill Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 977 good number only 23 more it will happen tonight I feel it in my bones.... city chickNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 We won't have to wait too long it every posts right now! Jill Nov '08 Evening everyone ! I am back and ready to help get to 1000...This really is exciting in an odd way! LOL HockeymomNov '08 Only you probably won't get anything cbel. I don't seem to have any luck lobying for an "I was # 1000!" shirt. Total nobodyNov '08 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... HockeymomNov '08 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 Nov '08 Unbelievable - someone call Guiness or drink some to celebrate - either way, it's great! happy2bhere Nov '08 Gosh this takes forever to load with all these posts. Good Luck to the big 1000 winner. Firefly Nov '08 only 9 more to go...woooo hooooo HockeymomNov '08 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. Justasking Nov '08 Then I will go with you to Hawaii and you can come with me to Europe or is it the Superbowl?? Justasking Nov '08 I was logging in to post about going over 1,000 when the thread was redirected to youtube... ha ha ha! CrunchyMom Nov '08 is it seriously a problem that we're having such a great conversation?? CrunchyMom Nov '08 HAPPY 1000+ POSTS!!!! Ticker tape falling - ball dropping - everyone hugging and kissing, laughing and crying !!!!!!! happy2bhere Nov '08 I was laughing so hard about the you tube link. Chris deinitely has a sense of hum, but its not stopping me.  Christine Nov '08 AWWWWW Christine, sorry to hear about the rough day. Passing you a glass filled with whatever it is you would like to relax with! HockeymomNov '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hey Hopeful...wondering when you might show up! Glad for the link too. Not everyone is using it tho.. HockeymomNov '08 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.) Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Moving on to my second Kettle and OJ now and settling in to watch Fringe. Calico696 Nov '08 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! :) Beanzer Nov '08 It was CJ. After long research, CJ IS THE 1000 Post. Good Job CJ, your the man (or the woman) Ballons are still falling Justasking Nov '08 Is Fringe the coolest or what? It's right up there with Sons of Anarchy... ianimal Nov '08 News Flash!! The Neverending Thread appears to have been relieved of its link to the Rick Astley video. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Gotta love it . . . it's back to business as usual - you guys rock. Let's shoot for 2000 - c'mon, wadda ya say?!? happy2bhere Nov '08 I'm in! Whew! Feeling better not having to go to the rogue link anymore. However, I bookmarked it, just in case:) Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Happy.....I can now see your purple flowers Gravatar...it's very nice !! hockeymomNov '08 I stole my husbands laptop since mine has a virus problem AGAIN! Christine Nov '08 Looks like the pressure is off for tonight. May we all have a good night's sleep. See you in the morning. cbel Nov '08 Night, cbel, and congratulations to CJ! I guess Rick Astley was the prize... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Thanks.  CJ Nov '08 Here's the wikipedia link about Rick Astley and "Rick Rolling" Phil D. Nov '08 Early morning just got to work and checked and we have reach the magic number and more next 2000??? city chickNov '08 Thanks for the link, PhilD. That was interesting. Boy, you sure stay up late! cbel Nov '08 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! city chickNov '08 So what does it really mean when you're the last one to post?lolBTW love this cold weather!! Let it Snow! gingerNov '08 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? Clyde PottsNov '08 SueR? That didn't happen at your house? Also what makes you think it was drinking lol Clyde PottsNov '08 I tooted my New Year's horn off my balcony at Mansfield Village. Did anyone hear me? cbel Nov '08 Hi Clyde - it happened at my house . . . I wrote you guys about it - see happy2bhere Nov '08 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. Calico696 Nov '08 Morning All. I wonder what Chris has in store for us when we do hit 2000? hockeymomNov '08 ood Morning all! Christine Nov '08 I am talking in code now! Christine Nov '08 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! cbel Nov '08 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. Calico696 Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 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. Calico696 Nov '08 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". Calico696 Nov '08 Man, not liking these extended scheduled maintenance sessions... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Let's see... ianimal Nov '08 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. hockeymomNov '08 I think its the World Record Gods just testing us, BUT WE SHALL OVERCOME Clyde PottsNov '08 Looks like I have to join the night crew tonight. I actually got a life today, but I sure did miss you guys. cbel Nov '08 SueR: I wondered about Puddy being sponge-worthy, too. He sure wouldn't have been for me! cbel Nov '08 "Commenting is disabled"? That was ominous. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Lets see I had a better day finally got heat in the store. Been out since the famous snow storm. Christine Nov '08 Hi Cbel...and welcome to the night shift...get those fingers ready for typing tho ! HockeymomNov '08 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)??? Justasking Nov '08 M&Ms, definitely, Christine. I do need to know which store is yours, though. I'm too new to be in the know. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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). Jill Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 Okay so that is 2 for M&M and 2 for regular decorations. Christine Nov '08 calico... just heard on ESPN that Moose is calling it a career. Borderline Cooperstown, you'll have to wait and see. ianimal Nov '08 that's 3 for M&Ms, Christine... maybe you should have your accountant handle this (-: ianimal Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 OH I see I missed Calicos. It didnt show up when I counted. Dam filtering system.....:) Christine Nov '08 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? Christine Nov '08 M&M for me Justasking Nov '08 Let me pose the question again for everyone if they are not reading. Christine Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 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? HockeymomNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 I figured Moose would retire. Being under 300 in wins might hurt his chance at the Hall. Calico696 Nov '08 ianimal, that is definitely one of the Puddy episodes. My friend has not gotten back to me yet RE: sponge worthy. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 This thread is complete friggin' chaos, lol... I love it; everything always needs to be so structured and proper. ianimal Nov '08 Really. Television, Mike Mussina, Seinfeld, Christmas decorations, sports, dogs and cats living together. Mass histeria! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 Who's hosting Thanksgiving and who is going to family? Anyone going out to eat? HockeymomNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hopeful... you know his real name; you're obviously a much bigger fan than I am (-; ianimal Nov '08 BTW Why is it not udpating to the true posts so far. Christine Nov '08 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. Phil D. Nov '08 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 ! HockeymomNov '08 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 Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Maybe people are nervous about 1200. Okay, how about 1175 before 6 am? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Yes Monaco and I am having a nice conversation with Jan on another thread. :) Christine Nov '08 1141 NOW! YAY we are on our way. Christine Nov '08 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.... HockeymomNov '08 Its an early night for me.....have fun all and please keep it going well into the wee hours. HockeymomNov '08 You were right Hockeymom I tried to escape but couldn't :-)... someone whose been tNov '08 1147.......weird but it went back to 1099. Christine Nov '08 Looks like the day crew (me included) is signing out. Time to do your thing, night crew. cbel Nov '08 Okay, I got it. Phil D? ianimal? Happy? CJ? You guys out there? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Well, I'm just popping in for a minute - I'm actually on my way to bed myself. happy2bhere Nov '08 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. happy2bhere Nov '08 BTW, Hockeymom, what are you making for Thanksgiving? What are you cooking this weekend? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 yikes. sleeping people. my turn. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Good morning everyone, boy it looks like everyone was busy last night. Hope you all have a nice day. city chickNov '08 Good morning. Boy, Hopeful, you sure made a great effort last night. Now it's your turn to rest up for awhile. cbel Nov '08 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. Calico696 Nov '08 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! Calico696 Nov '08 Good Chilly Thursday All ! HockeymomNov '08 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. Clyde PottsNov '08 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 HockeymomNov '08 Has anyone checked out the Puppycam yet? Calico696 Nov '08 Geek mode on. ianimal Nov '08 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! HockeymomNov '08 Huh??? That type of math is not my strong point. I prefer the puppies....no brainer :) Calico696 Nov '08 the puppies all ran out of their "box" LOL my luck...as for the math...way tooo early for me HockeymomNov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Just playing Devil's Advocate, cbel, where do all the extra souls come from? ianimal Nov '08 Prime months: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 ianimal Nov '08 Uh you forgot a pretty significant prime number....  Agust Nov '08 I came back after coffee ready to answer Ianimals ponder and he now has the hints.... HockeymomNov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 "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" Calico696 Nov '08 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 Jill Nov '08 The puppies are in full swing now. Calico696 Nov '08 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...... City ChickNov '08 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, cbel Nov '08 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! Beanzer Nov '08 "Just playing Devil's Advocate, cbel, where do all the extra souls come from?" justintimeNov '08 Uh - Oh: 2 hours and only 3 posts...yikes! C'mon people wake up, don't you have anything better to do! :) Beanzer Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 I can't believe there haven't been any comments on the puppies!!! Calico696 Nov '08 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! Karen in LV Nov '08 They are so cute, I can hardly stand it. I check in on them every couple hours or so. Calico696 Nov '08 Brings back memories of when this guy was that size! (Not for long, though! lol) Karen in LV Nov '08 Mmmmmm. It's a Manwich kind of day. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Ha - you started something, SueR! Maybe tell her the puppies have to go nite-nite? :) Karen in LV Nov '08 Awwwww - cute age. But just about the time they try to resist a nap - which mom so desperately needs! Karen in LV Nov '08 I noticed in her last post, she was reading - maybe she got absorbed in the book and forgot about us? Karen in LV Nov '08 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. :) Karen in LV Nov '08 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! Karen in LV Nov '08 Im with you Clyde! Christine Nov '08 almost 5 and this has been a very slow day and also at work Hi everyone willwe get to 1300 tonight? city chickNov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 How nice to be missed, SueR. I had get out to the laundomat. cbel Nov '08 I feel the same way, INMCB - I could go to sleep right now although it's only 5:27 - whew! happy2bhere Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 I have to say I had to back off this thread....I was going to get fired for not working and only post comments. Justasking Nov '08 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 city chickNov '08 OMG!!!!! I haven't check the site in a couple days. over 1200????? Nice job all!!!! lol Reggie Nov '08 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..... HockeymomNov '08 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!!! Reggie Nov '08 Totally Fake baby...and actually we are in the market... LadybugNov '08 Christine,do you have boxes of the old time big Xmas lights at the store? INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Favorite all time Xmas gift as a kid? INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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. Reggie Nov '08 I'm here....job hunting while I keep checking the forum. LOL INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 LOL, Ladybug, I read your post before I saw reggie's... ianimal Nov '08 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. Jill Nov '08 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. HockeymomNov '08 Ian...LOL... INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 If environmental considerations are an issue on which type of tree you will get, real trees are more environmentally friendly than artificial ones... ianimal Nov '08 Ah....finally sitting down for the night. Tuning in for the Cinci/Pitt game. Calico696 Nov '08 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. Reggie Nov '08 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. Calico696 Nov '08 OMG I cant remember the questions by the time I read all the posts. Christine Nov '08 Sing to the Tune of Winter Wonderland: Beanzer Nov '08 Christine, your sunflower is back! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 ha ha. I really don't think grammar, spelling, context, etc..... matters at all anymore. In a texting shorthand world, we're screwed! Reggie Nov '08 mi mi mi( clearing my throat)......We have all started to become freinds and give it our most.... HockeymomNov '08 In peace and good feelings where they live and play Firefly Nov '08 There once was a man from Nantucket... INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Clyde.... HockeymomNov '08 The First Forum Firefly Nov '08 The First Forum Christine Nov '08 The First Forum the poster did say, INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 The First Forum the poster did say, Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Must...get....to....1300....tonight. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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? cbel Nov '08 1300! YES!!!! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Excellent work, someone, Jay, and cbel. Wonder if anyone else is up late. Slowing down could interfere in the Road to 2000. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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.... city chickNov '08 Good morning, city chick. I'm up but not quite awake yet. cbel Nov '08 Good morning, good job last night guys! How about shooting for 1,750 by the end of the weekend. Calico696 Nov '08 I know we can do it. The question is when will we have time to bake our pies? cbel Nov '08 I can't bake so I'll find some time...On Vacation all next week but really need to Xmas Shop. city chickNov '08 Just don't bake, post instead. Tell the family it was in the best interest of the forum..LOL! Calico696 Nov '08 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???? city chickNov '08 Shop Rite bakes a decent pie, just pick some up there and keep posting!!!! Calico696 Nov '08 Morning All... HockeymomNov '08 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. Calico696 Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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? ianimal Nov '08 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! ;) 3yearresidentNov '08 cbel I never thought about it, but your way gives us more time....I think? Happy Friday hope it warms up. city chickNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 ianimal: I just reread this morning's posts. You guessed Jackie Gleason before I did, so I guess you get the free pie. cbel Nov '08 Hopeful: Maybe we can have some sort of plan for Thanksgiving. cbel Nov '08 You guys are really sharp and I have to stop looking at this thread or I'm going to have to fire myself...Later City ChickNov '08 The puppies are having breakfast now. Calico696 Nov '08 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 city chickNov '08 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall... Jill Nov '08 did you see the blind man walking down main street today?? Alex (unicycler) Cur Nov '08 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! happy2bhere Nov '08 Alex, I think he stopped into the hardware store and picked up a hammer and saw.......... INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Hackettstown Life Comedy Club Clyde PottsNov '08 The thing about Viagra is that you need to swallow it quickly; if you don't, you could wind up with a stiff neck. ianimal Nov '08 *no animals were harmed in the making of that lame attempt INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Two drink minimum, SueR. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Ha!!! You guys are toooooo funny - love this - thank you and keep it going guys . . . happy2bhere Nov '08 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.... City ChickNov '08 A blonde gets on an elevator and says to this guy, "T.G.I.F." happy2bhere Nov '08 Here's another one: happy2bhere Nov '08 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.  Rebecka Nov '08 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. Calico696 Nov '08 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!" Calico696 Nov '08 Three blondes were walking through the forest when they came upon a set of tracks. Calico696 Nov '08 I see you all have been very busy today....Keep the laughs going...this is great. I am no good at jokes tho... HockeymomNov '08 Our next comedian is from Boston, lets give a warm Hackettstown Life welcome to................ Clyde PottsNov '08 Er ah... Chowdah, my name is Chowdah, Chowdah Kennedy. ianimal Nov '08 How did you guys do that?!? happy2bhere Nov '08 You guys have been real busy today. Sorry I have been so busy couldnt get on at all! Christine Nov '08 Don't worry Clyde...people are driving home now. They'll have to play catch up. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Here's another one: happy2bhere Nov '08 Folks-- Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hockeymom30 Nov '08 Wow, my spelling as terrible in my last post... HockeymomNov '08 How did you guys do that?!? Clyde PottsNov '08 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? cbel Nov '08 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 city chickNov '08 Okay one more joke: happy2bhere Nov '08 What did the bathtub say to the toilet? Firefly Nov '08 I am home now but leaving at about 8am to Calico and BF party. Cant wait to see the band. Christine Nov '08 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???? city chickNov '08 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? cbel Nov '08 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.... city chickNov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Wait... I am the thread killer!!! Watch! This is my second post here.. cue the crickets.. mom of 3Nov '08 Hopeful: I'm so glad to be relieved of duty.

I am just now getting the feeling back in my toes and my hands are finally warm!. HockeymomNov '08 Just wanted to put my 2 cents in before I head to bed...good luck reaching your goal tonight. someone whose been tNov '08 No, Just asking, I didn't go to Calico's party; I just gave her my best wishes.

HockeymomNov '08 making up time from ianimal being out tonight, so here's a few.... INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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. HockeymomNov '08 No posts from me tomorrow, as I am going to see my beloved Clyde PottsNov '08 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 INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 I think we lost Hopeful HockeymomNov '08 Did you know you can't copy and paste a few times, because it doesn't let you? LOL.

I can rest my fingers. Take it away Jan! LOL HockeymomNov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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? Clyde PottsNov '08 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... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 BTW, goodnight, Hockeymom and cbel! I missed your sign-offs. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 What no posts for 5 minutes! Christine Nov '08 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 Nov '08 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! Reggie Nov '08 SusieQ...you still up? Baking away? Let's open a Frosting store. Just frosting, all the time. Forever Frosting. I'm in. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 What happened to my Gravatar??? What the heck is that thing? I didn't change it.... :( INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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 INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 What is going on??? LOL....my gravatar is changing again on me.... INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 ok. Im not tired yet. thought i was, but im not. now what? Anything good on tv? Reggie Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said 'serve without dressing.' So I took my clothes off. INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 Don't like to double-post, but here goes.... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Two four six eight...who's on the forum posting late? INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 oh man. i'm up too late. Since no one seems to be up and I have to continue...I'm just gonna sing: INeedMoreCowBell Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Here we go: 147 posts for the day will get us to 1600 by last one to sign out. Can we do it? cbel Nov '08 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? Firefly Nov '08 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 Jill Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 This manual counting job will definitely be a challenge, but I feel up to it. Wish me luck! cbel Nov '08 It's nice to know I'm good for SOMETHING! cbel Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Morning Cbel...you are the sweetest. Thanks for all the counting. I hope everyone continues one... HockeymomNov '08 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 Just Asking Nov '08 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.......... Just Asking Nov '08 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 :) Cherie Nov '08 Just Asking: So sorry, but Chris's numbers are nutso. cbel Nov '08 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 Seein the realityNov '08 What the heck happened while I was gone? You kids are going to drive me nuts!:) Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. :-) Reggie Nov '08 #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! happy2bhere Nov '08 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...... happy2bhere Nov '08 I don't think he would, either, Reggie. But there must be a glitch somewhere. cbel Nov '08 Hi everybody I'm really late today. You guys are great over 1500 we should reach 2000 easily before Thanksgiving... city chickNov '08 I think everyone is Christmas shopping today. The stores were crazy busy. Just Asking Nov '08 Hey Everyone...just checking in. Glad to hear you are busytoday Christine...its a GOOD thing. HockeymomNov '08 I want my holiday shopping done by next week...I can't deal w/ the crowds.  Michele Nov '08 Cbel's abacus only goes up to 1500. Yeah, it's a pretty big abacus, I though the same thing. Reggie Nov '08 I will probably be out also on Black Friday even though every year I say that I am not going to do it. Michele Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Has anyone elfed themselves...I am really bored and pissing in my pants Michele Nov '08 Cbel, you're pretty funny. I wish you would come out wit us one of these days! :-) Reggie Nov '08 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? Reggie Nov '08 Hey All.... HockeymomNov '08 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! :-) Reggie Nov '08 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! happy2bhere Nov '08 A: My wife and I were happy for 20 years. happy2bhere Nov '08 I think people are very busy tonight...I hope we can get to our goal...what is it anyway? HockeymomNov '08 2000 by Thanksgiving - I think we will be there early! My guess is Tuesday night. Jill Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 Where's the night crew? Anyone out there....hellooooooo? HockeymomNov '08 There are still more "big ones" out there..... HockeymomNov '08 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 cbel Nov '08 Hi Firefly BAY with hugss HockeymomNov '08 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. city chickNov '08 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:) Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 justasking, there's a mildly funny "Saturday Night Live" on right now; Tim McGraw is the guest host. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Im not the only one with insomnia? EVer been so busy during the day when it came to bed you couldnt sleep. Christine Nov '08 Yes, Christine, it sometimes happens. Then there's the problem where you need to stay up but you can't...like now. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Good morning all. It was nice to read your posts from last night. I live alone so this feels like waking up with family. cbel Nov '08 good sunday morning everyone. Looks like another cold one out there today... Cherie Nov '08 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!!!! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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! cbel Nov '08 Come on folks!!!! Where are all the posts!!!???!!!! Posting Slackers. Morning! Reggie Nov '08 GooooooooD Morninggggggggggggggggggggggg Hackettstown (and all surrounding areas and all the wonderful posters. This is the best topic yet. I love it! Firefly Nov '08 Good morning everyone it's not as cold as yesterday....Seems to be very slow in here I guess everyone is busy... city chickNov '08 Good (almost) afternoon everyone! Love the pic, INMCB - great movie too! happy2bhere Nov '08 cbel, since I work a lot on the computer, sometimes I check in every 5 minutes -- or fewer! It can get bad, I know. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Just adding one more . . . and bumping this up - hope everyone is having a beautiful day! happy2bhere Nov '08 Wow, we are low-key today. That means that everyone is out having a life. Nice. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hi Everyone..... HockeymomNov '08 Hockeymom - Echinacea is wonderful for catching a cold before it takes over. Hope you're all feeling better soon! happy2bhere Nov '08 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)! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I woke up with a cold! UGH! Christine Nov '08 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! happy2bhere Nov '08 I am way ahead of you. Been taking wellness formula and zicam since 6am. Just runni to the bathroom alot. LOL! Christine Nov '08 OMG these pills have me going and going just like that commercial. LMAO! Christine Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. HockeymomNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. Christine Nov '08 Oh, Christine, gotta love Dr. Chi! Hope you're feeling better! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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! Firefly Nov '08 cbel! I am seeing a new little blue gravatar! I can't really tell what it is, but it's cute nonetheless. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I like there gravators better not quite as mean looking...I am not mean!!! Cherie Nov '08 So since I haven't been mentioned in any of the past few posts, I guess I'll mention myself - what up? happy2bhere Nov '08 Hey Guys....I am here for the night. I will be posting on and off while I am working. Hockeymom Nov '08 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! cbel Nov '08 Happy, hi! We do need to pay homage to you every so often - you started this crazy thread. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 OOOOHHHH! I just has some Itlaian penicillen! I ran out of tissues and my nose hurts! Christine Nov '08 cbel, I meant if you don't like it, it doesn't matter if I do... yeah, Reggie, a chicken rabbit! Sorry cbel. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hi Hopeful, Hockeymom Nov '08 Is anyone elses threads not reading correctly. Usually it rests but according to mine no ne has posted since 4ish. Christine Nov '08 Hi everybody we reached over 1600 I didn't really think we would since it seemed so quite earlier today.. city chickNov '08 Yeah! 1600! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hello it's Sunday night and I am Thankful that I only have 3 days of work. Firefly Nov '08 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 Firefly Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Love the candles, Hockeymom - happy2bhere Nov '08 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. Hockeymom Nov '08 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? Firefly Nov '08 Oh and I more question. Firefly Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I think I made a stupid decision this weekend.....the right decision but still very sad about it Just Asking Nov '08 Hi Just...good to see you tonight. Love the new pink snowflake or is it a quilting design... Hockeymom Nov '08 I do love my new pink snowflake which is great for this time of year. Just Asking Nov '08 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 Asking Nov '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I will be with my family but I am sure my heart will be with them. I will be fine. Just Asking Nov '08 just asking you are a good soul. BUT are you alone now for Thanksgiving? You can join us if you would like. Christine Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 I haqve been known to have strangers for Holidays. It is all about giving of ones self ya know. Christine Nov '08 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. Hockeymom Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Christine Nov '08 So so true, Christine. Good luck, Justasking, and try to enjoy! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 Just Asking: Just keep taking the high road and one day your children will acknowledge your efforts. Trust me. Been there. cbel Nov '08 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? Just Asking Nov '08 Uh-oh, Reggie, are you predicting another thread shut-down? Is that why you posted a link to the thread IN the thread? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Happy, I am liking your virtual hugs. They are very warm. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Good morning -- that was an oddly long time for posting to have been disabled. I was hoping we'd get to 1650 last night. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Morning All... Hockeymom Nov '08 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. someone whose been tNov '08 Morning someone... Hockeymom Nov '08 Sorry for all the sick kids! Good luck parents. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. city chickNov '08 Hey, everybody... happy Monday, even though it's practically Wednesday,if you're an optimist. ianimal Nov '08 Hey you guys are a hoot...keep it going!!!  smooch Nov '08 Good morning everyone! Christine Nov '08 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 ! Hockeymom Nov '08 I think Clyde must have had dinner at the Smokehouse and doubled up on the baked beans for his side dishes (-; ianimal Nov '08 I think the holidays are here, the weather is becoming cold and yucky and everyone is unmotivated including me Just Asking Nov '08 Can you believe that the Jodi Applegate topic has reach 150 posts????? Clyde PottsNov '08 Don't forget today is the last day to plant your seeds, so you will have a tree by Xmas Clyde PottsNov '08 I can't believe that people are still talking about it... ianimal Nov '08 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!!! majaNov '08 Clyde, Seed, what seed? My tree is in the attic. Taking it out is on my to do list also. majaNov '08 Welcome back fellows. ianimal, that's cool about the wedding favor! I'm a big fan of puns AND little bottles of alcohol. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Of course I meant 2000 by Thursday. Hope we don't have to start over somewhere... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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?) cbel Nov '08 I want to go home! I feel horrible. Dr. gave me a antibiotic so hopefully I will be better by Thursday. Christine Nov '08 Sing to the tune of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Beanzer Nov '08 sorry guys, I hadn't posted in a few days, had to make it good (OK, not good but at least entertaining?!) Beanzer Nov '08 Hopeful YES it was cold 20d Clyde PottsNov '08 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 (-; ianimal Nov '08 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. happy2bhere Nov '08 Hope: 2500 is the Europe trip, if I remember correctly. I am not going back to read everything again. Just Asking Nov '08 Does anyone want an animal? If so, please come over and help yourselves to one of ours - your pick. Rebecka Nov '08 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.. majaNov '08 Here's a picture of lulu. Rebecka Nov '08 This is Sassy. We can't give her away because she belongs to our friend and neighbor Dave. Rebecka Nov '08 Here's Bluebonnet. Rebecka Nov '08 Hazel is perfectly normal except: Rebecka Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. Rebecka Nov '08 Beanzer, Love the song...... Christine Nov '08 This is the Anti-BS thread. SueR Iam always happy to please a lady lol Clyde PottsNov '08 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.. Clyde PottsNov '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 What does it mean when you're the last one to post... Dolly Nov '08 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... city chickNov '08 Hopeful - I was just kidding. Sometimes it feels like I'm a zookeeper, and the menagerie gets to be too much. Rebecka Nov '08 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. someone whose been tNov '08 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. Firefly Nov '08 Rebecka Cherish these years as I know you do...they go as quick as smoke through a keyhole. Firefly Nov '08 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? cbel Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Im back!!!! Christine Nov '08 I agree with Clyde and Firefly, cbel. We can do it! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Thanks for the update, Christine. That's good news. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Couple of things: That was a good idea, Hopeful. cbel Nov '08 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. Firefly Nov '08 I like the idea of giving it til Thanksgiving at midnight. I am thinking it can still be done. Firefly Nov '08 Personally, I think the hiring of one officer is a good thing. I am glad they worked something out. Give and take. Just Asking Nov '08 70-yard catch and run from Drew Brees to Lance Moore... ianimal Nov '08 Re: What does it mean when you're the last one to post . . .

(BTW - I never read it) Just Asking Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Drew Brees 70-yard pass to Marques Colston... TOUCHDOWN!!!! ianimal Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Yeah, but Drew Brees needs to relax, lol... ianimal Nov '08 Aaron Rodgers 4-yard pass to Ruvell Martin... TOUCHDOWN!!!! ianimal Nov '08 Jeez, it doesn't look good for the Cheeseheads. Another NO touchdown? That's Shaqtastic!

TOUCHDOWN!!! ianimal Nov '08 Sorry, Hockeymom -- didn't see your post until now. Hope you're feeling okay, too. Check out the cupcake place.

Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Morning All... Hockeymom Nov '08 Hello and good morning. Christine Nov '08 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. Clyde PottsNov '08 Good morning all - and since it's 2 days till Turkey Day - let me ask you something . . . this year, what are YOU thankful for? happy2bhere Nov '08 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. Christine Nov '08 In case I forget later, I'm gonna post this now. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.... ianimal Nov '08 I'm thankful for having health insurance. Rebecka Nov '08 I am thankful for my family - especially the sweet dear daughter and husband.  Coralie Nov '08 Coralie that's so sweet. Me too and I am thankful for my new kitty! I love to squeeze him! Dolly Nov '08 Just thought I'd add a post to the thousands here! And I am thankful for my family!  KAT Nov '08 I'm having a disk removed from my spine, and screws and metal rods put in. Rebecka Nov '08 Good Luck w/ it. I just had my 2nd laminectomy done for a massive herniation. Michele Nov '08 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 PottsNov '08 Clyde - that's very sweet ~ happy2bhere Nov '08 Sorry Clyde, No LOL! I am just biored with the same old same old thing. Christine Nov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 Christine, Beanzer Nov '08 Sue - interesting link. Apparently we're all poor and uneducated to boot! Where DO they get their info from? Rebecka Nov '08 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! cbel Nov '08 Yes instead of their regular Wed. due to Thanksgiving. Clyde PottsNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 SueR LOL Clyde PottsNov '08 Same goes for me, Clyde. Dinner always tates better when the other guy made it. cbel Nov '08 #1828 - #2000, here we come! That's only 172 more posts between now and Thursday . . . we can do it - we can do it! happy2bhere Nov '08 okay, I was recruited to this thread from another one by cbel...lol. :-D  Jersey Girlie Nov '08 Calico and BF are soon to be honeymooners. Christine Nov '08 does anyone want to guess the date and time of the 2000 post? Jill Nov '08 Hi everybody looks like everyone is working hard to reach our goal of 2000 by Thanksgiving. city chickNov '08 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. Christine Nov '08 Jersey Girlie - when is the Washington Boro Farmers' Market? I love good sausage. Thx. Rebecka Nov '08 home.aristotle.net/Thanksgiving/trivia.asp ianimal Nov '08 www.home.aristotle.net/Thanksgiving/trivia.asp ianimal Nov '08 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. city chickNov '08 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! Rebecka Nov '08 OK. That was 1841. 159 to go before last post tomorrow. Piece of cake. cbel Nov '08 Well thought I would say it again because I am so excited......WE FOUND A PLACE! For the Knudsen Family that is. LOL Christine Nov '08 Re: Farmers market - are there farmers there selling fall/year-round items (apples, sausage and meats, honey) or is it only in the Summer. Rebecka Nov '08 cbel, did you say you were being Hopeful? Welcome! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Oops; I shouldn't have complained about being sick today...it did stink, though. "I got better." (name that movie) Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Well that's definitely something we can be thankful for (Knudsen Family) YAY !!! Jill Nov '08 Rebecka: I looked it up and they shut down for the winter the last week of October. Sorry! :-/ Jersey Girlie Nov '08 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! happy2bhere Nov '08 link works, ianimal, but I'm afraid to say that I know next to nothing about turkeys! This Tom's goose is cooked! justintimeNov '08 It's nice to see the additions to the Poll thread. We still have quite a few more to hear from, though. cbel Nov '08 Jersey Girlie - thanks so much. S.O. works right near Lebanon. Will send him on a mission. Yum... Rebecka Nov '08 It's 10:08... do you know where my children are? ianimal Nov '08 Evening everyone ! HockeymomNov '08 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. ianimal Nov '08 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:  H'town guy Nov '08 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. Jersey Girlie Nov '08 All right, I'm really going to bed now... get to 1900 and we'll cruise on home tomorrow. ianimal Nov '08 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 Just Asking Nov '08 I'm still up. Gonna catch up on the other threads, wash up and then sign off. See you in a few minutes. cbel Nov '08 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 Just Asking Nov '08 Thanks, Hockeymom -- it was an aura-filled day. I should have posted on Froggy's Lilypad... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Just Asking, Jersey Girlie Nov '08 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.... Reggie Nov '08 Interesting results! Jaws 3, 3-D was released in 1983 and Friday the 13th Part 3, 3-D was released in 1982. Reggie Nov '08 I so wanted to love Twilight but I have never seen a Vampire movie without any blood, disappointing. Just Asking Nov '08 Why am I up at this time? I am sitting on the porch watching these Hula Dancers. Clyde PottsNov '08 Clyde Go to bed! Good Morning to the day crew. Looks like the night crew was busy. Firefly Nov '08 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! cbel Nov '08 If this is going to get to 2000 post by tommorrow we better start yappin.. whats every ones fav thanksgiving dish?  Katy Nov '08 Fave Thanksgiving dish... Rebecka Nov '08 Pecan pie -- but only when it's baked by my husband. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Morning I tried posting last night but it said I had to give someone else a chance Just Asking Nov '08 I love cinnomin apples someone on here gave me a recipe and im going to try it :-) thanks all Katy Nov '08 Did you know the number of this forum is 61526? But this might be post #1900! Or not. Back later. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 No, Katy was 1900! Congratulations, Katy! You win -- Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 let the countdown begin.... ianimal Nov '08 all right, i'm all screwed up chronologically... you guys figure it out, im gonna get some work done, lol ianimal Nov '08 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 Katy Nov '08 can't get to 2,000 without getting past 1,900. you achieved a minor milestone along the way. Congrats (-; ianimal Nov '08 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? city chickNov '08 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. city chickNov '08 Candied yams with marshmallows. Yum. Okay, what's the difference between sweet potatoes and yams? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 A cranberry sauce is a tasty side if its done with apples, pears, nuts and brown sugar. localmomNov '08 Morning everyone! Christine Nov '08 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. happy2bhere Nov '08 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. Coralie Nov '08 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. Rebecka Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 My husband is smoking the turkey today - then tomorrow - in the turkey fryer for an hour... YUM Jill Nov '08 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! localmomNov '08 Haha, SueR, my wife does the same thing with March of the Wooden Soldiers every year (personally, I can't stand Laurel and Hardy). ianimal Nov '08 Hopeful in H-twown asked: "what's the difference between sweet potatoes and yams?" ianimal Nov '08 You've likely never had a real yam, Sue. Those candied things in the can aren't yams, they're sweet potatoes. ianimal Nov '08 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 Just Asking Nov '08 Sorry SueR the girls are gone, I can only speak Hawaiian when they are here, not sure why, its strange Clyde PottsNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 I think the worst is the rutabaga, SueR... they're a lot like turnips but with an even grosser-sounding name, lol. ianimal Nov '08 eeew.... I just remembered parsnips... they're like turnips that didn't get an education. ianimal Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I know tomorrow is not Black Friday but I am not here tomorrow. Christine Nov '08 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. Coralie Nov '08 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." Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 Evidently, I can't type today. Which reminds me of a movie line: Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 It's a Wonderful Life. Firefly Nov '08 Clyde, did they Lei you? Clyde PottsNov '08 $1975 Clyde PottsNov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Polar Express and the Santa Claus movies are newer hits. Also Christmas Vacation - that one always make me laugh till I am coughing. Coralie Nov '08 Love Love Love watching the Christmas movies with just the tree lit. All comfy cozy. Firefly Nov '08 "Ever notice that your s**t is stuff and everyone else's stuff is s**t?" One of my favorites from George. cbel Nov '08 Any predictions who will be poster 2000? Are previous winners disqualified? What was my prize again? Firefly Nov '08 Here's one I snapped just yesterday, which I like. White-breasted nuthatch. Rebecka Nov '08 Can you believe the first prize was for poster 317 (me, actually). What a lame number now that we're headed for 2000. cbel Nov '08 Love the bird photos, Rebecka. Nice effort. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 How will people allow 2000 to be the last? They're going to want to congratulate, whoo hoo, party party party! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Happy new Year...I think I have those glasses from 2000 you know the ones in the shape of 2000 Just Asking Nov '08 Everyone, Clyde PottsNov '08 Wow! Wow! and Wow! What a family, what unity, what teamwork! cbel Nov '08 While gathering the photo, I found we have competition Clyde PottsNov '08 That's right, Hopeful, a toast - to the most wonderful group of people ever ~ you guys rock! happy2bhere Nov '08 I thought I might win Calico's bouquet or a shot of what ever Clyde was drinking this morning. Firefly Nov '08 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. :-/ Jersey Girlie Nov '08 Totally, Totally Awesome I can't believe it....This has got to be a record somewhere.... city chickNov '08 can't.......stop.......posting....................................................... Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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! localmomNov '08 SueR: You have outdone yourself with this one. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. cbel Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. happy2bhere Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Another paradigm shift?!? My God, I had barely adjusted to the last one... (-; ianimal Nov '08 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. Jersey Girlie Nov '08 I'm guessing he's not on Shades of Death Road... ianimal Nov '08 My friends, I believe that is the one and only Erik B. Anderson. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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! Christine Nov '08 Hey Christine, Beanzer Nov '08 You guys are really the best...I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving...What do you think 4000 by Xmas LOL city chickNov '08 I like even numbers. 2050. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 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. Hockeymom Nov '08 With all due respect to EBA... allow me to oracle-ificate... ianimal Nov '08 Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving!!! someone whose been tNov '08 Clyde, I think it was those hula girls...I pass one walking down main street Just Asking Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you all have a lovely day, however you celebrate. cbel Nov '08 Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Here's Google's contribution to the celebration! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Just Asking: I hope you were able to sleep for awhile and I hope you have a good day. cbel Nov '08 Rick Astley is singing on the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade right now!!! Chris is a genius. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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). Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Have a happy everyone. Be thankful for what you have and not what you dont have. Have a blessed holiday! Christine Nov '08 Enjoyed the Rick Roll this morning too! Happy Thanksgivng everyone, enjoy the day! Bessie Nov '08 I'll give Lions MINUS 20 to whomever wants it Clyde PottsNov '08 Happy Thanksgiving to All!. I also heard the Rick Roll this morning and laughed. Enjoy your day today. Hockeymom Nov '08 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.... City ChickNov '08 Hanging out with Clyde watching the hula girls hunting for Easter Eggs while eating turkey after we sing Happy Birthday and bob for apples. Firefly Nov '08 Clyde, isn't your son's name Stew? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I am home and sooooo full! Christine Nov '08 What is everyone passed out from eating too much turkey???? Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. someone whose been tNov '08 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. Hockeymom Nov '08 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 Cherie Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Of course, Clyde wasn't me. Wouldn't it be something if he were my alter ego. I meant he wasn't WITH me. cbel Nov '08 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. happy taxpayerNov '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Thanks, Clyde. You were SO right. I'll need some more tomorrow...I'll meet you at the cupcake place. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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 cbel Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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? cbel Nov '08 Hope, You are changing your Direct Deposit to C'mere Cupcake? LOL. Just Asking Nov '08 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! happy2bhere Nov '08 cbel, personally, i'm shotting... the FIL gave me a bottle of homemade limoncello yesterday (-; ianimal Nov '08 SueR: No, I didn't see the movie. Did you read the book? cbel Nov '08 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 Nov '08 cbel, I have been enjoying that shop! Fortunately, they're only cupcakes, so I'm not breaking the bank. Yet. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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 Clyde PottsNov '08 Isn't the worst 1 minute in TV, those interviews of the Contestants talking to Alex Trebeck on Jeopardy? Clyde PottsNov '08 Hey, could this be Clyde behind that blue dot???? Clyde PottsNov '08 Maybe not the worst, but close. Dorky! cbel Nov '08 Knock knock! happy2bhere Nov '08 I love Jeopardy, just that 1 minute. I DO watch WOF cbel Clyde PottsNov '08 happy! I see your cow poem -- I just didn't want to get in between Clyde and his hula girls. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 WOF or Clyde Potts. What to do? Clyde, if you're sticking with WOF, I'm going to have to give you up. cbel Nov '08 Do you mean the lapel pins? happy2bhere Nov '08 I understand that's why you guys developed the HH; I get that. I know it starts at 5; how long do people stay? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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: happy2bhere Nov '08 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. HockeymomNov '08 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. happy2bhere Nov '08 Cheers to everyone that has kept this thread going...good to see that people still have a sense of humor these days BeansNov '08 SueR: Is someone giving you grief? Tell me who it is and I will beat them up. I really mean it. cbel Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 I like your comment, too, Happy - "It's all good." Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 JA: I'm still up, cbel Nov '08 WOW, I can't belive you guys are still going strong. DH and I are back, so count on me for plenty of posts. Calico696 Nov '08 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! Calico696 Nov '08 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! Bessie Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Very nice slide show, cbel. Thanks. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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 Christine Nov '08 Still here, SueR. So sorry to hear about your migraine, Christine. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I hear it, Sue. But the pecan pie has drowned it out, and, alas, I Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I can hear it too. See you shortly! Reggie Nov '08 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" Just Asking Nov '08 wiffer wiffer cant hit it cant hit it! SWING!!! :-)lol, no one cares.... we all family! :-) Reggie Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. Firefly Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. Just Asking Nov '08 Not a party for the Irish tonight, unfortunately... Notre Dame is getting crushed by USC. Gotta love Pete Carroll, though. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Well I am so sad. I need some cheering up. Christine Nov '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Hi SueR, thanks for the clarification. I do see your point. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Thanks hopeful........ Christine Nov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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 Just Asking Nov '08 Hopeful in H-town what happened to FSU? Florida Gators happened lol Clyde PottsNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 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? cbel Nov '08 Good morning guys. I can't believe how late ianimal and cbel were up. I hope they get some sleep this morning. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 OMG cbel. You're up? Yeah, naps can really screw up your sleep cycle. Good luck staying up til bedtime! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 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. city chickNov '08 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. Clyde PottsNov '08 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. cbel Nov '08 Poor Clyde just lost the whole shebang. Clyde: If you don't know shebang, don't even ask. cbel Nov '08 Morning everyone! I just got up. Thats really late for me! Christine Nov '08 laundry, dishes, football and not so fun stuff. TGFC. Thank god for coffee or I would have zero energy to do this cleaning BS. Reggie Nov '08 Hi everyone! Boy some of you were up really late last night! Hope you have a wonderful day staying cozy and warm. happy2bhere Nov '08 Christine, how's the head? I say leave the decorations in the attic -- it's still November! Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 Good afternoon all... I did a google search on Bubbee - Friendly term for anybody you like Cherie Nov '08 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! Christine Nov '08 Okay, besides being addicted to HL and cupcakes, I'm a sucker for milestones. I think I'm post 2222. Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I feel like getting under a blanket and watching a marathon of Christmas movies! screw football Beanzer Nov '08 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? cbel Nov '08 Sign up here. Grand opening is Saturday, Dec. 6. Want to aim for the next Tuesday or Wednesday, the 9th or 10th? cbel Nov '08 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! Just Asking Nov '08 JA: I look forward to meeting you and your children. What times are good for you? cbel Nov '08 Jets suck today if another interception happens I am going to jump thru the screen and choke them all.....LOL! Christine Nov '08 Christine, JustAsking, and cbel -- and other cupcake lovers: Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I work from home (bonus most everyday of the week). Mondays are my really busy day, so Mondays are bad. Wednesdays work Just Asking Nov '08 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 . . . happy2bhere Nov '08 Nite, happy! I think we knocked ourselves out getting to 2000. I'm still wondering where we might be by 12/25. 5000? Hopeful in H-town Nov '08 I think 5000 is a do-able number even if we dont try really hard. I am awake and finishing up work for tomorrow. Just Asking Dec '08 Yeah, JA, I was thinking that would be a non-stressful number for three-ish weeks...but everyone will still need to pitch in! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 Hi, JA. I could meet you guys later this Wednesday -- like 3ish? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Hey, too bad about the Jets, but at least the Patriots lost -- to the Steelers! I presume ianimal will be happy. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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! Christine Dec '08 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 city chickDec '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Dolly is on FIRE today, you have to read the thread on ear piercing and facials. You crack me up. Just Asking Dec '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 Yeah, Hopeful... how 'BOUT dem Stillers? ianimal Dec '08 Belicheater, lol. I think the Patriots are the new Cowboys -- the team you love to hate. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Hello... from the beautiful borough of Brooklyn, where I'm working chez a client. Rebecka Dec '08 Same with the Jets, they beat Tenn. and press are calling them the AFC's best. Clyde PottsDec '08 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) Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 "Your comment has been received! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Hopeful, I saw Ghostbusters, but didn't know she was in it. I am a BIG FAN of Designing Women. Clyde PottsDec '08 Dear Santa Chris, Dolly Dec '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 SueR I'll thank you - THANK YOU Clyde PottsDec '08 Thank you SueR for saying your welcome lol Clyde PottsDec '08 Clyde, nice pic... I've got an irresistible urge for a giant bowl of popcorn with extra butter all of a sudden, lol. ianimal Dec '08 I have to run to WalMart for 3 more last minute presents. Anyone need anything.....Clyde more rope? Just Asking Dec '08 JA - LMAO Clyde PottsDec '08 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!! cbel Dec '08 No, it was cbel! Way to go cbel! Welcome back! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 cbel, I was just out looking for you. Glad you are back. Hope you feel better. Clyde PottsDec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 What is up with all you fiesty sassy people today? Just Asking Dec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 "Hopefull in H-Town" is yet another Happy2bhere username! DonkeykongDec '08 This just in.....................Happy Hopeful Tony is everywhere! lol Total NobodyDec '08 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. Clyde PottsDec '08 All I said was EASY GUYS, SueR Clyde PottsDec '08 SueR: It just took me by surprise that something so graphic would be so easy to find during an innocent search. cbel Dec '08 Hey everyone I finally got rid of my headache! YAY! Christine Dec '08 Those cupcakes are magic, Christine. Glad you're feeling better. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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"... ianimal Dec '08 Apparently, the size of the thread has overwhelmed the post marking feature... scroll up to this date and time: ianimal Dec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 I didn't Google it myself... I just thought it was a funny line when taken out of context (-; ianimal Dec '08 SueR, I have never seen any of those programs. Are they "reality" shows of some kind? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 SueR - We could totally hang together. I LOVE those shows. I even watch them again online. All day long. Just Asking Dec '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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 Just Asking Dec '08 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 chickDec '08 City chick lol Clyde PottsDec '08 Forgot, Morning All Clyde PottsDec '08 I do not think I want a visit from Dr. Clyde if Dr. Clyde likes Dexter, thank you very much. cbel Dec '08 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 City ChickDec '08 City Chick: Dexter is a "good" serial killer who goes after the "bad" serial killers. Very weird show. cbel Dec '08 He is a serial killer who is a Cop, kinda like a Creepy Robin Hood Clyde PottsDec '08 Clyde: I really am greatful that I have a job I think I'm just having one of those days City ChickDec '08 cbel it was on Showtime first, CBS showed old SHo re-runs, with language cut. First run is still on Sho Clyde PottsDec '08 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. ianimal Dec '08 Aw, Clyde, I was just funnin' with you. I'm STILL peppy, and you sure are on a roll this morning. cbel Dec '08 ianimal, I knew you were a Dexter man Clyde PottsDec '08 cbel just call me butter cause Im on a roll Clyde PottsDec '08 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 (-; ianimal Dec '08 Thank you, thank you very much Clyde PottsDec '08 And then our next comedian, eagerly waiting to take the stage ... Hackettstown Life's own ... SueR! cbel Dec '08 When you look up the word dictionary in the dictionary, does it say "The book you are holding" Clyde PottsDec '08 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! Karen in LV Dec '08 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 Just Asking Dec '08 Did we ever nail down a date for C&C?? All my Thanksgiving deserts are now gone =( Just Asking Dec '08 What's everyone having for dinner? I think I'm going to make a turkey meatloaf. Calico696 Dec '08 My apartment smells wonderful from the pot roast simmering in the crock pot. cbel Dec '08 First Christmas party of the season tonight. Wahoo someone else is cooking. Someone always cooks though Just Asking Dec '08 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! Calico696 Dec '08 Hi everyone! Today I'm working late and hubby is handling homework, dinner, basketball practice, etc. He is my hero. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 2401... ianimal Dec '08 Okay, is this right? Calico is 2400, Hopeful is 2401, and ianimal is 2402? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 I'm here....are any of you "last posters" coming to HH besides Just Asking? Calico696 Dec '08 I see everybody is alive and well 5000 by Xmas boy is that a dream or do you think it can be done.... city chickDec '08 When you go thru a drive up window why is there braille? Christine Dec '08 In case Stevie Wonder gets hungry....bu dum dum. I know that was baaaaad!! Calico696 Dec '08 I recommend that you stop going *thru* drive-up windows or you just may end up blind yourself (-; ianimal Dec '08 "You'll shoot your eye out!" Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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 Just Asking Dec '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. Firefly Dec '08 Good morning Firefly and everyone...Hope everyone has a good day. I'm working on being in a better mood than yesterday. city chickDec '08 Good morning all, Happy Hump Day (aka Wednesday, for the dirty minded) :) Calico696 Dec '08 Good morning everyone. cbel Dec '08 Yes, cbel, looking forward to cupcakes and coffee with you, Just Asking, and Christine on 12/10. Anyone else coming? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Morning All Clyde PottsDec '08 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.... city chickDec '08 Good morning all! You guys have been pretty busy and you're still cracking me up - I like The Lounge idea, Clyde. happy2bhere Dec '08 City C. Glad to hear that Clyde PottsDec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Hey!!!!!!! When did you take that picture? I didn't think you could see me watching you Clyde PottsDec '08 I hate the Dentist, deathly afraid of him, If they would put me under I would be okay with that. Just Asking Dec '08 All the South Park specials are great... is there a better Christmas hero than Mr. Hanky? ianimal Dec '08 Ummmmmm cbel in a tight,black ninja suit. YES lol Clyde PottsDec '08 Lunch time seems to be a busy time glad to see everyone is in such a playful mood... City ChickDec '08 OMG, Clyde, did you use "ladies" and capitalize it to get my goat? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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? happy2bhere Dec '08 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 Clyde PottsDec '08 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). ianimal Dec '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 To each her or his own, ianimal:) Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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? happy2bhere Dec '08 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 in H-town Dec '08 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 PottsDec '08 Clyde, I must have been having one of your hallucinations:) Don't mind me... Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. Firefly Dec '08 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! happy2bhere Dec '08 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.) Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Was watching my shows; Clyde PottsDec '08 I'm not asleep, cbel, but I'm heading up now. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Morning All, Firefly Dec '08 My sons love that movie and watch it every year I have never really liked it that much city chickDec '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Did anyone else get a FORBIDDEN message. Or was this a new form of a BOUNTY on me? Clyde PottsDec '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. Firefly Dec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 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 Clyde PottsDec '08 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? Just Asking Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Here I am, guys! Missed the milsestone again -- darn this work. It really gets in the way of my HLing! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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? cbel Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Hey Hopeful, I'm here - wished everyone a good morning already and everything - thanks for asking about me though - feels good. happy2bhere Dec '08 Hi happy! I did miss your good morning. Well, glad you're still "happy2bhere"! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 cbel, are you starting a position in the other thread to get Clyde bumped (off)? Where do I sign? Clyde PottsDec '08 Did you see the most recent Google ad? "Goodbye to Yellow Teeth!" Good one. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Hopeful, how can you say that to me when you have never seen me, at least as Clyde LMAO Clyde PottsDec '08 Doesn't prego mean "you're welcome" in Italian? ianimal Dec '08 Major computer problem (laptop cord left at work); I can't work on this old monster. "Talk" to you guys later. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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? Just Asking Dec '08 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 PottsDec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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! Firefly Dec '08 Well the last few posts seemed to have shut this thread down for the last 45 minutes. People where are you? Hello, Hello, (((((((((HELLO))))))))))))))))))) Firefly Dec '08 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! happy2bhere Dec '08 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. Christine Dec '08 Hi everyone, Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Good nite everyone, I believe the Holiday HH is going to be at Frankie and Johnny;s.

Good Night Just Asking Dec '08 Good morning everyone TGIF it is suppose snow on Sunday....Hope everyone has a good day... city chickDec '08 Good Morning and Happy Friday! Clyde Potts....enquiring minds want to know. Firefly Dec '08 cbel - geez SORRY Clyde PottsDec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 So who's going to be the last one to post??? I like this thread it is lighthearted not into anything to heavy city chickDec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 GOOD MORNING, Everyone! Have a happy Friday! happy2bhere Dec '08 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. Clyde PottsDec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 I just posted on the poll and read about others very general question nothing intrusive, just city chickDec '08 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... City ChickDec '08 "Just the basic facts"... I associate that line with a song, not a show. ianimal Dec '08 The word "basic" wasn't in the line from Dragnet... no offense, just saying. ianimal Dec '08 Give that lady a Pink Ci... well, THAT would be inappropriate, LOL... ianimal Dec '08 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! happy2bhere Dec '08 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! cbel Dec '08 Clyde is kind of married like being kind of pregnant OOPS! you are of the male persuassion read your poll hi. City ChickDec '08 So now I see how it works. Clyde PottsDec '08 SueR: I suggested way back somewhere that OUR Clyde Potts may be a reincarnation of THAT Clyde Potts. Hey, you never know. cbel Dec '08 Poor Clyde, still gettin' heat. Me thinks he LOVES it. cbel Dec '08 As long as HEAT is in jest. Clyde PottsDec '08 I hope you all haven't forgotten about the Shiba Inu puppies? I haven't, they have gotten so big. Calico696 Dec '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 but then how do you decide who is last which was the original question Just Asking Dec '08 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 Just Asking Dec '08 Hey Just Asking! I'm here (albeit momentarily) - it was great meeting you last night. Hope you have a FABULOUS weekend! happy2bhere Dec '08 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? happy2bhere Dec '08 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? happy2bhere Dec '08 ATTENTION - ATTENTION! happy2bhere Dec '08 I cant help but post here. The lounge is cool but its not the last post.......kinda sad Just Asking Dec '08 Looks like I am the last one to post! Firefly Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Still be best thread see everyone is still stopping in....I agree cbel there's no place like home... city chickDec '08 I will be here as long as it is open and be visiting the Lounge too. Firefly Dec '08 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? Jill Dec '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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).. Jill Dec '08 Those puppies are a bundle of energy. They never stop. Did everyone have a good day? Firefly Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 I don't know quite to explain how I feel about this place, except that it's kinda like my "blankie." cbel Dec '08 Maybe we can get bunk beds and sit up all night talking, with flashlights, and blankets over our heads. cbel Dec '08 This place makes me feel like I can always go back home when I need to! Christine Dec '08 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 Clyde PottsDec '08 Yuck, Clyde Potts first your sort of wife is a rubber doll and now you arent wearing any clothes while you type. OVER SHARING Just Asking Dec '08 we arent suppose to be on here. this was your idea to start a new one Just Asking Dec '08 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).. City ChickDec '08 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Not yet, please! SueR: Help me out here. Clyde? Christine? cbel Dec '08 Firefly: I will stay here with you. cbel Dec '08 It will be dark in here after Friday lol, so bring candles and/or flashlight Clyde PottsDec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Good morning I'm a awake, don't want to be but I think I'm awake...Hope everyone has a good day... city chickDec '08 cbel....Help I want out of the house. Fever I think is down to almost nothing. Cough is worse. I have 2 questions today. Firefly Dec '08 Firefly: Question #2 - And why do they always have to figure on another $20K or so to redo the kitchen? cbel Dec '08 Granite countertops are the shag carpet of today, LOL... everyone HAS to have them. ianimal Dec '08 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. Firefly Dec '08 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! Karen in LV Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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. ianimal Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Here's a link that might help, Ian - http://www.craftsmanhomes.org/Home.html happy2bhere Dec '08 cbel - I love the Craftsman style houses! So warm and cozy. Aaaaah. Karen in LV Dec '08 I LOVE Craftsman style houses! My fav too. ((((((hugs))))))))cbel sorry no cupcakes. Firefly Dec '08 Firefly: I got my cupcake and a hug from CP at the CC HH. I hope you will be at the next one. cbel Dec '08 Thanks Looks like fun. I am afraid I am not a cupcake lover but will pop in for a cup of joe. Firefly Dec '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 hi lol i win? too much to read :(  icicle Dec '08 Okay, now it's not bold but it's stretched out... Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 I can't stop coming to this thread and finding I have nothing to ad. Very sad. Dolly Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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 Dec '08 cbel I will in due time lol Clyde PottsDec '08 LMAO, Clyde! So you don't read so good anymore? 8) Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 I'm often the last one to post on MANY threads! BT ResidentDec '08 OMG no one has posted since 424, O maybe I will be the last post (fingers crossed) Just Asking Dec '08 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 chickDec '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 4000 by christmas would be nice....Now that I understand what we are doing I'm a little slow at times. city chickDec '08 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 Dec '08 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.. city chickDec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Sort of duplicate post (in honor of skulking Clyde): Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Hopeful: I wondered where you were. Glad to see you're still here. I'm turning in now. Good night. cbel Dec '08 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. Firefly Dec '08 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 city chickDec '08 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 city chickDec '08 8-balls tend to have that effect on people, JA... maybe you should try something else, lol. ianimal Dec '08 ok, quarter flip - heads I will sleep tails no sleep Just Asking Dec '08 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! Jill Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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? Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 City Chick: This thread is like an old bathrobe or worn pair of slippers that I will hold onto forever. cbel Dec '08 Bumping it up, for sentimental reasons...and to put the current total in THE LOUNGE. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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 Dec '08 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! Firefly Dec '08 So nice ot be off tomorrow.....I'l be watching the snow from my window.....  BrownEyesGuy Dec '08 Probably just hang with the cats, and rest up for a night of drinking ;-) Calico696 Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Alright, alright . . . you drag me back - it takes forever to get here, but I'm glad to see everyone is safe and sound. happy2bhere Dec '08 happy: I was going to post one more time before I turn in and say the exact same thing. Great minds ..... right? cbel Dec '08 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! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 pretty sad that I can say good night and good morning on TWO threads before anyone posts in between Just Asking Dec '08 Brown Eyes, I know sleep in not in the cards for me right now. One day maybe Just Asking Dec '08 Good Morning everyone snow day you have just got to love it....I'm glad everyone is still coming into the thread..... city chickDec '08 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!) Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Glad you two worked it out! Wonder how our buddy Clyde is doing? Clyde, hope all is well. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Are you sure, SueR? It looks like CJ to me! LMAO! No matter, we surpassed 2,800 on the "old" thread! Whoo-hoo! Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 I mean, looking at the count on the list, not cbel's note... lol.8) That would make this one 2806? Whatever!:) Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 Good morning everyone it must be a late start to the day for everyone to much parting of weather? city chickDec '08 Trying to bump this up, just for the halibut... (12/21/08, 1:56 pm) Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 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. Hopeful in H-town Dec '08 430 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. cbel Dec '08 OK, let's get crackin'! Ianimal, where are you? cbel Dec '08 Clyde: Get in here and do your stuff! Clyde PottsDec '08 SueR lmao, My body would indicate as such LMAO Clyde PottsDec '08 Couldn't find this yesterday..But like magic it's back today...So Hi everyone City ChickDec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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) Firefly Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 Good morning all Clyde PottsDec '08 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! Firefly Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 Just Asking: I sure hope this passes quickly. SueR: Good luck with your party. cbel Dec '08 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 Just Asking Dec '08 Is is just me or has there been a lot of illness this Nov/Dec? Firefly Dec '08 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? Clyde PottsDec '08 This is truly a safe place to fall. It can get pretty nasty "out there". And we always have our Clyde! cbel Dec '08 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. cbel Dec '08 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. Just Asking Dec '08 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.  jrsemom Jan '09 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 Jan '09 First post today? Love this old thread -- had a great New Year's but I'm kind of looking forward to the old routine! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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. Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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............. Clyde PottsJan '09 Ok, Clyde. Thanks. Hey, what's up, buddy! How's Bessie doing? What's HAPPENIN'? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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! :) Clyde PottsJan '09 Bessie: I so wanted to meet the woman who puts up with this man. :) cbel Jan '09 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. cbel Jan '09 Posting, just because...SueR, are you feeling better? cbel, what's up with Bessie and Clyde? He's not answering me... Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Hopeful Good to see you. Firefly Jan '09 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. Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 No, Hopeful, I never did get to HH. I was home for a couple days with a sore throat and nasty stomach problem. cbel Jan '09 Ooh, sorry to hear it, cbel. You're feeling better now, I hope? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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? cbel Jan '09 Nice gravatar, jrsemom! What kind of frog is it? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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! -__- Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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. jrsemom Jan '09 Where are the Lounge people over 24 hours you should bow you heads in shame of this. Just Asking Jan '09 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. Firefly Jan '09 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) Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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. cbel Jan '09 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) Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 This thread is still going amazing, hi everyone hope everyone had a great holiday City ChickJan '09 Goodnight, Gracie. And cbel -- where's SueR? How are you feeling? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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. cbel Jan '09 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? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 How sad is this? cbel and I began the day here, and I am ending it. cbel, where are you? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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. cbel Jan '09 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) Just Asking Jan '09 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. Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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. Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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. Firefly Jan '09 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. cbel Jan '09 Good morning, Firefly, SueR and cbel! A busy day today -- I'll check in later! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 I see no one has been here all day. Have a good sleep and I will see you in the morning. Firefly Jan '09 Good job bumping this up, Firefly. I've just sat down after a crazy day. Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Well, I'm up crazy late so I had to post. JA, hope you don't mind, lol! 8) Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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 Firefly Jan '09 Yeah, I think it'll be a good one, Firefly. And on Saturday night? Perfect! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Hopeful Do you ever sleep? I made my morning post and this is my evening post. Have a good night whoever checks in. Firefly Jan '09 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. Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Thanks, SueR -- I meant BUMPing it up, LOL! 8) Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 SueR, I'm glad you found that out, LOL! 8) I found it out by accident -- it does make a difference! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 OMG, "Grease" is on ch. 45 - ABC Family. John Travolta is singing "Greased Lightnin'" right now! Check it out! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Yeah, cbel! Thanks! See you on Wednesday! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Yes, we did it! And I bumped up your thread, SueR! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Hello and goodbye, Firefly! I hope you have bright and fluttery dreams. Nite! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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. Firefly Jan '09 Morning people! Sorry about having to shave your legs, Firefly. What a hassle! And, yes, how is the ear? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Good morning everyone! Nothing much going on at my place today. Just puttering around. Thanks for taking care of reservations for lunch, Hopeful. cbel Jan '09 This was on the 3rd page. cbel I should have just let it go I guess. Firefly Jan '09 Oh, I'm bad. Haven't been here since Tuesday. No problem, cbel! It was fun! Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Hey, SueR! Did your post come back? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 I know been busy. The economy is in the toilet and being in sales region sucks Just Asking Jan '09 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. Just Asking Jan '09 Hey...Look it here the good ole lst one to post thread. How's everyone doing today? Firefly Jan '09 Hopeful said she just okay with this thread because we all let her down while she was on Vaca Just Asking Jan '09 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?? Just Asking Jan '09 Yes, the teddy's, thonges, and push up peep a boo bras are all in the laundry. Just Asking Jan '09 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. cbel Jan '09 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. cbel Jan '09 Well, Are we on our way to 4K now. LOL After the last couple days this loaded up real fast. Firefly Jan '09 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 Just Asking Jan '09 Hi guys, Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Hey Hopeful! Firefly Jan '09 Firefly: Good for you! I read everything -- I'm a glutton for punishment! cbel Jan '09 Firefly, good for you for not looking. How's the no-smoking thing going? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Does anyone else see the 2 girls at the top who are making out?, or is it just me? Clyde PottsJan '09 no one making out over here, on screen or real life. Just Asking Jan '09 Clyde, your vision has returned! Or should I say your visionS have returned! Yippee!! LOL! :):) Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 Clyde does that's for sure! Clyde quit mixing up your sites and SueR..... where have you been? Firefly Jan '09 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? Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 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. cbel Jan '09 "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.....  GC Jan '09 SueR with a lot on her plate today folks LMAO Clyde PottsJan '09 Clyde - Either that or she's been hitting that Heineken in the picture. GC Jan '09 Okay, Madonna, did you ask someone to pass you a hiney? LOL! 8 (that's a hiney) Rihanna Jan '09 I cant let Madonna be the last poster. I would let SueR just not Madonna. Just Asking Jan '09 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. Firefly Feb '09 I'm not sure what's going on here, but I think I want to jump in until I figure it out. cbel Feb '09 I'm getting an urge to change my name. Norton is already taken. Maybe I'll be Horton. Just thinking. cbel Feb '09 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. cbel Feb '09 So I have been avoiding coming in here I sneak in and to my surprise there are posts! GUYS YOU ARE ADDICTED! Christine Feb '09 Hopeful.....I could not get the song out of my head after reading JA's post and my response. LOL Firefly Feb '09 JA, that's one of my all-time favorites, but I have trouble choosing my one favorite song and artist for that other thread... Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 This is still the best place to be on the forum. Where everybody knows your name. And they're always glad you came. cbel Feb '09 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. :) Clyde PottsFeb '09 Yes What's love got to do with it? is by Tina Turner. Firefly Feb '09 Okay, doing my part to keep this on the top of everyone's minds! Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 happy2behere! htown newbieFeb '09 Well Hello World! What Up! Firefly Feb '09 Glitter on the mattress Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 Rebecka, Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 Hopeful I was wondering if Jan was lurking somewhere too. There are an awful lot of new angry people showing up. Firefly Feb '09 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! cbel Feb '09 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) Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Clyde Potts 24-7-365Feb '09 I am all over that one, Clyde Potts 24-7-365! (Of course, I mean the quote, lol!8)) Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 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) Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 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) Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 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! Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 '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! cbel Feb '09 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. jrsemom Feb '09 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 in H-town Feb '09 Hopeful thought she was the last to post but she's not.....I thought maybe it had finally died. Firefly Feb '09 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) Just Asking Feb '09 I have nothing to actually say i just want to be 3,100 post and maybe the last. heeheehee jrsemom Feb '09 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! Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 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 Clyde PottsFeb '09 I guess we know who that is, Clyde! Whaddyagonnado? Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 Whoa, way too far down the second page. Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 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 *&^) Just Asking Feb '09 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? Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 BTW, we're at 4704 between the two threads. Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 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 Firefly Feb '09 Yes, Firefly, I very rarely see 6 am. Today I did because I took the red-eye home. Nice sunrise, LOL! 8) Hopeful in H-town Feb '09 Can't ever say goodbye to this thread...It was this thread back in November that got me started on this forum. City ChickMar '09 Might I be the last one to post? Just Asking Mar '09 I swear, Clyde, half the time I don't have a clue what you're talking about. :) cbel Mar '09 You know, I was the last one for three weeks until you started up again, SueR! (I just checked!) 8)  Hopeful in H-town Mar '09 Well I guess I'm the first one to post this morning. Good Morning everyone and a City ChickMar '09 I guess I'm the first one to post this morning. Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone City ChickMar '09 Happy St. Patrick's day everyone. No need to reply, just go about your day and enjoy. ;) jrsemom Mar '09 The forum seems to up all the time lately .....Good morning everyone have a good day. City ChickMar '09 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! jrsemom Mar '09 Ok I came in to say hi....Nobody has been in here for awhile will I be the last one???? City ChickMar '09 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) Hopeful in H-town Mar '09 Just a few flakes on my balcony at 7:15. The sun is supposed to come out soon. I'm waiting. cbel Mar '09 There was a dusting on our cars this morning. But that was about it. I honestly just thought we had a frost. jrsemom Mar '09 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. GC Mar '09 Going through something?????Cute.... it really did snow you should be ashamed questioning my sanity LOL City ChickMar '09 Your to funny. Since I've stop smoking anything is possible....I question my own sanity City ChickMar '09 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 City ChickMar '09 SueR, a little of both. I really did mean it but I also wanted the last word. lol jrsemom Mar '09 Just dropping by to say hi and Happy Spring!!! oh yeah and to bump this up again :) it's been a while for me... Cherie Mar '09 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......... city chickMar '09 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. jrsemom Mar '09 I haven't gone through my books though. Can I just come hangout with you guys. jrsemom Mar '09 Of course. Feel free to grab one of the books now and bring yours later too if you want. Doesn't matter either way. GC Mar '09 I actually just went through my books and I found quite a few I am going to bring. jrsemom Mar '09 Glad you -- and quite a few others -- came out to CC today! Nice time. Go check out the books, people! Hopeful in H-town Mar '09 You know what? I'm taking 3,200! Wow, two milestones today (I've posted 200 times on HL2.0)! Cool! Hopeful in H-town Mar '09 WTG Hopeful. It was great seeing you today and everyone else as well. Can't wait for Wednesday. jrsemom Mar '09 Great to meet you and jrsemon hope we do something like this again soon it was really fun.... City ChickMar '09 just wanted to see what happens to me,do I turn into a toad or something??????? yogelMar '09 Maybe if you were the last one to post. But you're not. You've been saved. cbel Mar '09 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. Firefly Mar '09 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 jrsemom Mar '09 Good morning everyone. My DSL was down this morning so I haven't been able to get on line. It was horrible. jrsemom Mar '09 LMAO I thought DSL meant dear sisiter in law for a moment! made myself laugh. Firefly Mar '09 yogel: Your post has me wondering. What did you mean?? I'm missing something. cbel Mar '09 Mmmm, and Cadbury eggs... With the gooey stuff inside? Yum. Hey, I feel like hopping, too! 8) Hopeful in H-town Mar '09 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. jrsemom Mar '09 Hi everybody went to the happy hour tonight and it was really fun to meet so many new people city chickMar '09 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 . yogelApr '09 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. Shakira Apr '09 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 ................. City ChickApr '09 Good morning -- I don't think anyone will stop posting on this thread...! 8-) Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 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? Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 Hi everyone it is 5 months ago today that this thread began....Happy anniversary ...... city chickApr '09 You guys are so right -- I can't believe it's only been 5 months. Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 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. GC Apr '09 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! ;) Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 Happy Wednesday everybody!! Clyde PottsApr '09 I work in Parsippany and it was like a white out down here very strange now the sun is out Happy Wednesday everyone..... City ChickApr '09 guess I was last last night and first today ,, mornin everyone , hope you all have a great day! yogelApr '09 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. jrsemom Apr '09 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. jrsemom Apr '09 How was your trip, jrsemom? Should JA take her kids there, too? Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 Hey, I was just the 3300th post on this thread! I love me my milestones! Woo-hoo! 8) Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 Thanks, yogel! Happy Easter! Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 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. jrsemom Apr '09 does it mean anything that I was the last and only one to post yesterday????????????????  yogel Apr '09 I posted this back in November but I think it's worth repeating. Have a great day everyone! cbel Apr '09 I was last the day before. Not only were you last yesterday you were also the only one yesterday. jrsemom Apr '09 Doing good! How's baseball practice going? Guess we'll see each other at some games! 8) Batter up! Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 Baseball practice is coming along. It's his first time playing so he has a lot of work ahead him. jrsemom Apr '09 I`m with jrsemom gimme warm and sunny anyday,no like cold burrrrrrrrrrrr!oh yea HI everybody! yogel Apr '09 Hey everyone, I am hearing or reading we should have beautiful weather this weekend. I hope it will be here to stay. jrsemom Apr '09 WOW 4:10 and nobody posted on here yet,hope you al are having a terriffic day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yogel Apr '09 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. cbel Apr '09 WOW! I'm post #3333. I think I should get 10 trips to Hawaii for that, Clyde Potts! cbel Apr '09 Looks like a nice day today. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and I am happy about it. Enloy your day everyone. jrsemom Apr '09 Im with you cbel,80 eould be a nice change from the loooooooooooooong winter weather,HAPPY THURSDAY everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yogel Apr '09 I tried to post last night but it would not take my message....Hi everyone glad to see you are all still here.... City ChickApr '09 hi everybody,beautiful day but my coffee maker broke, watta bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yogel Apr '09 this thread is preposterous.... but the weekend is going to be sunny....thank God!! Begin Again FinniganApr '09 I wouldn't want you to feel bad Yogel. I'll be the last to post so you don't have to. LOL jrsemom Apr '09 oh no jrsemom can`t let that happen,besides this is the thread that NEVER ENDS rotflmao. yogel Apr '09 Another hot day today. I finally bought sunscreen so hopefully I won't get another burn. jrsemom Apr '09 Good morning everyone. It's another beauty out there today. cbel Apr '09 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! Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 Hey, check out the new number of posts on this thread! 3.4K! 8) Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 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) Hopeful in H-town Apr '09 It says 3.3k for me. I'll be there tomorrow. I'm really looking foward to it. jrsemom Apr '09 OK, yogel. You made me post. Good morning! And, no you don't. But, nice try. Have a good day! cbel May '09 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. jrsemom May '09 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. hhsMay '09 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. jrsemom May '09 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. city chickMay '09 oh no ya dont,gonna be a long time till yje last post ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yogel May '09 OMG I forgot yesterday was 6 months since this all started. Happy Anniversary City ChickMay '09 Apparently, I'm anew user and have to post on other threads so I can start a new one!  AMommy May '09 Good Morning everyone another rain filled day in the Garden State. I think someone stole the sun..... City ChickMay '09 guess I was the last yesterday,wow it`s beautiful sunny and warm yyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay yogel May '09 looks a little iffy weather wise today,oh well just wanted to make sure to post.only one today,who knows??????????? yogel May '09 Hi yogel!

Blue Morpho sounds good though. jrsemom May '09 Good Morning everyone, well maybe I'll be the last one to post, have a good day folkes..... City ChickMay '09 post time 4 me too! another beautiful day for us all to enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yogel May '09 time again to post on the thread that is forever on going!wishing you all a great day!! yogel May '09 Rainy day on Thursday ... One more day and week is over.....Smile it could be snowing City ChickMay '09 Good Morning. I am first to post today. Perhaps I'll even be last. I doubt it though. jrsemom May '09 Happy Memorial Day Everyone......God bless our troops and bring them home safely.... city chickMay '09 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. jrsemom May '09 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? Hopeful in H-town May '09 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. jrsemom May '09 WOW I was gone 4 days and noone posted at all!! yogel May '09 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! Rebecka May '09 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 city chickJun '09 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 yogel Jun '09 I have DSL and it still takes awhile to load. At one point it kept freezing my computer. jrsemom Jun '09 Well since it seems to be between the 3 of us lately maybe I'll be last for today. jrsemom Jun '09 Hi city chick, jrsemom and yogel! You guys are real troopers and I haven't been holding up my end, so I'm back. cbel Jun '09 Wow, this thread hasn't seen this many posts in one day in awhile. Hi everyone. jrsemom Jun '09 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. cbel Jun '09 it`s late and i`m still the first to post,COOL yogel Jun '09 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 yogel Jun '09 Good morning all.

So sorry to have caused a panic. lol jrsemom Jun '09 yea panic!like yelling fire in a crowded theatre lololol yogel Jun '09 OMG it has to stop raining. Hi everybody glad you are all here. Think Sun LOL city chickJun '09 Stop the rain?? No!! Everyone's topsy turvy needs the water!! GC Jun '09 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..... GC Jun '09 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 city chickJun '09 I'm here. I can't believe I didn't post in here yesterday. jrsemom Jun '09 hi everybody,pretty nice day after the monsoon yesterday.post #1 for today,cool. yogel Jun '09 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.  MikeGuida Jun '09 Hello, we went to a bbq for our niece's 1st b-day. Thank goodness it didn't rain. jrsemom Jun '09 Sorry guys, we're sitting next to each other here and yet still, we post the same thing at the same time. MikeGuida Jun '09 The funny thing is we didn't even realize we were both posting in the same thread. jrsemom Jun '09 Mike/jrse - It's what you *all* deserve for making fun of my Pocono ancestors. ;-) GC Jun '09 mornin everyone!anybody know where I can get a real,real cheap clunker car. yogel Jun '09 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. jrsemom Jun '09 thanks jrsemom I`ll check it out,I`m in real need. yogel Jun '09 Rain, FireflyJun '09 Sunshine gone. :( jrsemom Jun '09 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... Rebecka Jun '09 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. jrsemom Jun '09 Good Morning. The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day and I have to clean my house.

I'm on my home from Connecticut. Had a small family reunion today. jrsemom Jul '09 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.
