Off Topic Part Quatre

I would so make it "Happy valentime" because its funny when people say that.

Haha! It's cute when kids say it like that!

What happened to the chocolates with the apostrophe and the S on them?

LoL! I have no idea! I guess there wasn't a box long enough? Oh dear that would be an extra 2 columns of cakelets! I'm gonna enjoy gaining a few pounds... Hehe!

*Whew* what a day!! Tim's sister and brother in law's house caught fire this morning. It was in the attic, over the living room, and by the chimney. My brother in law said as soon as he saw all that smoke, he called 911. Good thing, as the house can be fixed, it will take a while. I'm just glad they're ok, and it happened when they were awake, and not asleep.

Glad they're okay. Same thing happened to my mom's house this year. Scary!

OMG! Hope everyone is safe. That is sad news

Minnew, that is such an awesome chocolate gift!

[TimandJoyce 1]

Thats scary Joyce! Glad everyone made it out okay!

Look what arrived from the in laws for us!

Chocolate Cakelets!!!!! Mmmmmmmmm! So much for my diet!!! LoL!

They came from www.figis.com

Yum!!! I could get into that!!

Their house is pretty messed up right now, but I'm glad they're ok. I guess the fireman had to take my sister in law out of the house, cause she was trying to cover stuff! They did loose a lot, especially in the attic, and we'll soon find out about the other things. They've lived there for years! It's really hard on them. I've never known too many that have been affected by fire. I can only imagine what they must be going through.

Good morning! Well, we were invited out to supper Friday evening by two other couples, and I had to confirm with Gene that this date and time was good. He scrunched up his face and said, no it wasn't good. Hmmpft! Thought, what's bugging him? Phoned the lady back, but there was no other date prior to us leaving on vacation that was good, so we bowed out. Later I asked Gene what wasn't good about Friday, and he claimed that he had to work and didn't want to go out that night for supper after working all day. Okay! Hmmpft! So later, he gave me a Valentine's Day card, and said, well, you'll have to have this early now...two tickets to the Blues vs Leafs game tomorrow night! So that's why supper wasn't a good idea! He knew of course that we couldn't go to supper given the game, he just didn't know how he was going to let me know why without giving me my gift early. No matter, I was tickled pink and forgot about the supper soon after. The Leafs are only here once this year, so this is truly a treat!

Enjoy your day!

good morning all. sweet story, carla.

[Flames9_RN 358]

Cool story, sorry it the leafs!! lol

[Krikit 1,164]

Yay Gene! That's so nice of him, Carla. Go Leafs!!!

Congratulations on the greencard, Joyce! So glad your inlaws are safe.

So cool to have lived in all those places, Trailmix!

Wow, Mal. That's a lot of places!

Congrats on the new job, Minnew! Again. LOL

OMG, Peachey. Varba and the snow.

I KNEW we got more thunderstorms and lightning strikes than back home! [snip]

With the amount of lightning strikes this area gets, and homes going up in flames, I've often wondered why people don't get lightning rods.

Isn't the wind supposed to ?

Rumbling wind sounds kinda scary...

Rumbling wind means take cover..... it's a tornado!

I love teasing everyone that Tim gave me a fishing rod. They look at him like, "c'mon..what did you really get her?"

I was standing in line at the Walmart checkout yesterday when I let a couple go ahead of me because she only had one item. Her husband proceeded to tell me that it was her birthday two days ago so he got her some shoelaces because she had mentioned the ones she had were broken. Then she piped in and said "Yeah. My husband's pretty cheap. He took me to the Dollar Store and told me to pick out the nicest card I could find. Then he told me he meant every word it said and that I could put it back now." OMG.

I am officially on vacation The cats love Spirit and that makes me happy cause they usually get stressed out and sick when we leave them with anyone.

Yay for happy cats! Have fun on your vacation, Cat!

So my husband came home with some beautiful roses the other night. Then we had a great big fight. Stupid moving.

Too funny!! My late husband and I did that once for Valentines!! We were in the store, I said "read this" and he said "read this" and then we put the cards back!! That really wasn't our usual norm, but we didn't do the V-day thing up big. I really want to for Tim, but I don't have the state DL yet, and my GC won't be here till well after. I'll just tell him to wait in the van, and I'll find a card... Next year however.....*giggles*

awww I'm sure he understands. I find my emotions get the best of me sometimes, because I'm here and away from my family, so I don't treat Tim very nice. He totally understands, and we always make up for it...

My wife and I have never really done anything for Valentine's Day but I have a plan to surprise her with a nice dinner and some flowers this year, she's been having a rough go of it at work lately I find she's always happiest when I surprise her with stuff that doesn't cost too much money so this will be right in her wheelhouse haha

[Flames9_RN 358]

My wife is away till the end of May for work! So I'm off the hook,lol But i sent her a huge box full of candy/chocolates!!

Awwww. I can totally relate. My wife and I have had a few spats lately...all over moving issues. She was moving the apartment all by herself, and while she acknowledges that it was her choice to move when she did, it didn't stop her from being snarky about all the work that had to be done by herself. I, of course, felt really bad about that, even though there's truly nothing I could have done. Didn't make for a happy week last week. Now she's almost fully moved, so everything is sunshine and roses again.

I hope her office is open tomorrow...I've got a box of chocolates set for delivery there!
