We are on holiday in California and this morning we are planning to go to a water slide park. So my husband asks my son, "How's the gut?". Son responds, " A little upset." Husband counters with, "Do you think you can go to the water park? You're not going to be the brown jet are you?". We then all laughed so hard we were crying.

That is hysterical! Have an awesome trip!

Dusty,
Yesterday I went to my niece's camp for visiting day. All their counselors are non-American. She has one counselor from Australia. I met a counselor from Ireland, from New Zealand, and from Argentina. It was really cool. Ooh those accents! What a great experience for the kids meeting people from all over the world. I talked to the guy from New Zealand for quite a while. I told him we are hoping to take a trip to Australia in the comming year. We have friends living there for three years so I am hoping we can figure out the finances to go visit.(Plane tickets are so crazy expensive!)

We don't have an accent, all you guys do! :lol:

The kids must love it and the counsellors must have a fab experience too. :):):)

Where do your friends live?

Ugh! The cost of flying is outrageous so I hope you get the chance to head out here. Good luck!

Dusty. xxx

Had a good laugh looking at some of these posts. Twiggy - have a great time!
We are back from our cruise which was unfortunately a bit disappointing. The weather wasn't great - alot of clouds/cold wind, so we couldn't swim much. However it was really good to get away and have someone else cook, clean, etc. I enjoyed Madeira, Tenerife and La Palma.
Now I have done loads of washing - only for my washing machine to break down!! Is it very sad to be excited about a new washing machine? :eek2:

New game! What strikes fear into an IBD parents heart? I'll start...

This past weekend we were away at a swim meet. In hotel Saturday night drinking tap water like crazy. Next morning go to restaurant across the street and they tell us due to boil water restrictions for the town no tap water, ice, soda etc. WHAT?! :eek2:

So in addition to praying that the problem occurred after we went to bed and the water she drank was safe I was watching her like a hawk and asking her for full reports every time she went to the bathroom! Who got sick? ME! :ybatty: Not bad though.

BTW - Hotel never notified guests...not even Sunday!
 
kimmidwife

kimmidwife

That is just crazy! Thank goodness she did not get sick. I hope you are already better. Stinkin hotel. You should call the management company and lodge a big complaint. who knows they may even give you your money back if you make a big enough hoopla but that is not the point they did not do the right thing they should have informed guests.

It's not often we hit 100 in Minnesota, but the heat index was 105 today. So, what did we do? We baked brownies, muffins, and cookies all day!

It's also a tradition to go out for ice cream on the coldest day of the year. One of those things that accidentally became a tradition.

Heat index hit a 105 here. CRAZY it's northern Michigan.

Then the air conditioner broke and on the same day the Dermatologist said the Grace has heat induced eczema. :ybatty:
We have to do all we can to keep her cool and dry from sweat.
Sooooo turned the sprinkler on and she had a ball.
Oh then my son tipped the sprinkler and it flooded our tent while I was trying to bake snacks for the farmers shaken the cherries. FUN TIMES. It's cool tonight. LOVE IT!:tongue:

Was in Oregon over the weekend we were at 80 in the mountains. Only 101 here today which is better then the 109-110 it was, that is just crazy. I'm not sure what we will be doing for Jack's b-day in about 10 days as it is too hot to do anything.

No way! Please tell me you don't eat doughnuts and bacon together! :puke_r:

Now, if you think you may take offence at my story do not read on! Remember, it involves a priest and a banana. :nonono:

So, many, many years ago when I was in twenties I had not a care in the world and my wickedness would run rampantly unchecked. :evil:

One day I decided it was time I went on another adventure so planned a trip around Australia.


One leg of that journey was a camping trip down through central Australia. There were about thirty us of varying ages and professions, all strangers thrown together for trip of a lifetime.


Hidden amongst us was a quiet, reflective sort of man in his early thirties. This piqued my interest, as it does, so I decided I would sit next to Dan one day and probe a little deeper into what he did for a living. Dan was standoffish and aloof, I do believe I denoted a touch of arrogance in his countenance and felt that was particularly unwarranted. He eventually acquiesced to my questions and told me he was a priest. I was somewhat shocked by this! Not that he was a priest so much but that he held himself above others. :nonono:

Poor Dusty, she didn't understand. How could this cold and aloof man be a priest. Did he not have any feelings or compassion? So Dusty had a revelation, one might say, and she decided she would make it her mission to see if this man was capable of the sort of emotions we mortals felt. Dusty was also very irreverent. :redface:

It was a bright and sunny Winters day and we stopped to partake of some morning tea. As we stretched out under the canopy of glorious ghost gum I decided my particular fare that day would be a banana. As I was peeling the said fare I noticed Dan sitting a little way away watching me. He obviously did not notice that I had seen him as he continued to stare at me. I don't know what came over me but as I started to guide the banana toward my mouth and between my lips I stopped, I didn't take the bite that Dan was expecting but rather I started slipping the banana in and out of my mouth in a slow show of what one would call fellatio. I could see Dan was mesmerised and so the show lasted much longer than I had originally intended. He snapped out of it when I took a bite out of the said banana. As I finished my morning tea I idled over to Dan, he was very red in the face and I enquired after him...are you well Dan? You look a little...bothered. He couldn't speak and was bent over with his arms folded across his lap. I didn't know what to think but the only conclusion I could come to was that Dan was human after all.

Don't knock the bacon and doughnuts until you've tried it. I even went to a wedding a couple of years ago and instead of wedding cake they had a tower of maple bacon doughnuts.

Dusty I think you read The Thorn Birds a few too many times...

We have to stop at vodoo donuts everytime we are in Portland. All I can say is once you've eaten one of those maple bacon donuts it haunts you and soon you will be dipping your bacon at home into maple syrup trying to replicate the taste to no avail.
Great now I'm going to be dreaming about those donuts - forget Krispy Kreme.

I have no idea Tess. Never saw him again after that trip. :)

I guess he either went on a sabbatical or to an asylum. :shifty: Bet he doesn't eat banana's though. Ouch. :lol:

I was totally picturing the same as Twiggy for a voodoo donut. :voodoo: I don't eat gluten or pork, so the actual voodoo donut sounds pretty nasty to me too. I like the donut part but it doesn't like me... :poo: At least it is incentive to not eat what would just go to my belly anyway and make me fatter! :tongue:

Uhm yeah, I knew cherries come from trees but I didn't know you shook them off!! I presume there is a machine that does the shaking similar to pecan harvesters.

My, oh, my Farmwife... I'm not only smiling, I'm blushing :blush: at the thought of those big strapping farmers shakin' those cherries! I bet there's a fair bit of time spent 'looking for roots' too, eh Dusty? :ytongue:

I once ruined a pair of his joggers by soaking them in bleach. They where white with a black stripe ....after i soaked them the stripe went brown. You'd think l would've learnt my lesson.

Is the shirt an even colour all over? What fabric?

Try Spotlight or Lincraft, look for the dyes, next to them you will find color remover but they only usually work for removing color so that you can re dye.

Sarah wonders why I won't let her use dye inside my house! She managing to spill the water while emptying out the dye and dyed one shoe purple. Got love dye and candle wax.
