Susan in TN Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 We just finished watching The Princess Bride and when we got to the very end where Fred Savage asks Grandpa to come back tomorrow and Grandpa says "As you wish", dd7 let out a huge gasp and begged to see that part again. <mind blown> :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I saw the Princess Bride when I was in high school. (I think. I can't even remember the exact circumstances of me watching it. At a friend's house, maybe.) I thought it was the stupidest movie ever. Maybe I should watch it again, since so many people I know seem to love it. In college, I worked on the newspaper. I had a computer in the lab that was mine, all mine. :D Except I really didn't know anything about computers. I know it was a Mac and I could write and save documents. Well, you know the little beep sound that a computer makes when an error has been made? And if you make the same error several times in a row you have to listen to a half dozen beeps while the computer catches up to you? Someone on the newspaper staff went into my computer and changed the sound files. Instead of a quick little beep, he programmed it to play a sound file. "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die." And so my computer would spit out this whole thing every.single.time I made an error. And if I hit the wrong key several times in a row? You guessed it! "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die." "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die." "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die." "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die." :blink: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have set committee today, and then some co-op prep and other mischief to manage. And grocery shopping. I talked to ds20 last night. He said he had to wear his tux all day, from his early class to an evening performance because he knew there would be no time to change during the day. Gotta love dressing up for lunch at the cafeteria. :D Edited April 9, 2016 by Susan in TN 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thank goodness he has two! Actually, he was quite disappointed I only ordered one. I told him it was because I ordered them before we learned about kidneys and he should cut me some slack. My education concerning his desire for playing with his dissections was also lacking. Now I know for next time. I told him he could pick the next dissection we order to make up for it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I remember none of it specifically, just random images and a lot of guys from my dorm laughing and thinking it was the best thing ever. I remember thinking, well this is lame, but I am drinking their beer for free so I shall not be rude!!

Susan, I think it was Krissi that had the ranch recipe. Yes, it was Krissi, but I have the cookbook file :D. KrissiK Oh yeah, it's a good one! I actually got it from a magazine... The article was called "The Dressing Algorithm". They give you two recipe bases... One for viniagrette and the other for creamy. And then half a dozen add-ins for each to make whatever kind of dressing you want. I'm hooked on the ranch. 3/4 C mayo 1/2 c buttermilk 1/ 2 tsp. salt, Black pepper 1T white vinegar 1 tsp each...garlic powder, onion powder 1 tsp dried or 1 tbs. fresh of dill and chives. Very good and quick to make 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Hello, friends. (((Lynn))) Your dh left, and the Bermuda Triangle moved in. Went to the farmer's market, Michaels, and Claire's for a gift certificate for a friend. Dh put on a brisket to smoke and left a kid in charge when he went to check on a weekend project for the business. The last time he did this the fire went out and I was out there relighting it with primitive materials and no knowledge of how the thing works. One kid woke up with a cold and was not in a good place as a result. There were tears and protestations of choking and being unable to breathe due to dehydration and complaints, etc. He usually gets an ear infection so I am shoving Mucinex into him because who needs ear infections??? I am catching up on laundry and housework from my 24 hour Zyrtec nap. The cat hocked up another hairball on a comforter so it got added to the laundry. I will start planning Anatomy and Physiology study for next year in a bit and send an email to my English students with homework information. Everyone is dependent on my emails like crack.

Slache Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Everyone except for Matt is sick. The kids were miserable so Matt cleared off the cameras and now the kids are roaming the house taking pictures of all the things. It's a good distraction. I have a Michael's coupon for 50% off one thing. I want to get colored pencils for the kids. Do we want Crayola? They've only had dollar store pencils from their grandmother so I don't know. I'm thinking a huge pack of Crayola. You have a few hours to change my mind. Someone on Facebook called Matt a rich racist because he supports the wrong candidate. Just a reminder of why I left Facebook. I do miss it at times, but it seems to only have gotten worse since I left. Oi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 We have found Crayola pencils to be perfectly adequate for all of our needs for almost 20 years so yes, I vote Crayola.

Critterfixer Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Everybody wants me. Well, everycat. Came home and old cat has claimed the lap and is telling the young cat to scram. I've got 3000 words to write today. I've planned out about 4000, I think, so it ought to be okay unless the protagonist decides he can't stomach a little bit of defeat and shuts down on me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Friends, I have made a cake and frosting for tomorrow's bball end of year party. I have boiled some yellow squash. I have finished the laundry. I have sent the English parent email. I have sawed many dowels into thirds with a small hand saw on the top of my baking sheet in the kitchen. (Don't ask. Just don't.) I am now sitting down to plan out the adjunct materials for little dd's A & P study next year. However, the cat has positioned herself in an unfortunate place between me and the keyboard. She wanted to sit on dh's lap, and he refused to let her so I sternly addressed this, because the princess cat gets everything she wants. Evidently, what she wants now is to make it inconvenient for me to reach the keyboard. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) I have been to zumba, picked up food for the dogs, bedding for the rats & managed to have some money left over to buy a bit of food for the humans. Dd is nose in books and is trying to study for both the bio & chem finals at the same time but apparently things are going well as I'm not hearing much groaning. It was 18/65 in the shade at 10 am. Gorgeous, sunny, gentle breezes. I feel sorry for dd because I remember when weather got like this, I really didn't want to study. She is made of sterner stuff though.
