Ditto what Regina said - Jim, I hope it gets better for you! It sounds like you've had a few rough days in a row.

And Regina, I might have to check out Walmart for the blender. I wouldn't mind doing the internet ordering, but I absolutely despise shopping in that store. We have one that is a newer, smaller store about 5 minutes away, and then another one that is a Super Walmart that has only been open for about 2 months that is maybe 10 minutes away. I might try to do my grocery shopping at the Super Walmart to check it out to see if I hate it as much as a regular Walmart. My mom and my brother always tease me for hating the place so much - but I've had at least 3 encounters with other shoppers in there that have made me leave there steaming mad, so I've decided to avoid it! I'm such a Target girl.....

Hope everyone is doing well and staying cool. It's our third day of weather in the mid 90's with high humidity. We're supposed to be back in the low 80's at the end of the week, thankfully!

Orlando girls, what's up? Did you guys do anything exciting over the weekend?

Hi everyone,

Sheree, I am sorry you did not get the job, but you know there is always something better around the corner.

Dan and Cortney, Congratulations I am so happy for you both and Rocky of course...lol

Well, nothing as exciting this weekend happening, we are in the process of building out the garage apt, Julie and I have been cleaning up all the debris and running back and forth to home depot and lowes. I had put the Princess cruise Dee and Doris are going on on hold but had to cancel this morning because we never closed on my house as expected last week. The buyer is having an issue with financing even though she is putting down $100,000. She is now going to pay cash once she can liquidate some things but can you imagine this, Bank of America is the problem.

Anyway, at this point I am not going to book a cruise I will wait until after we close and move and decide what we are going to do and see if the deal is right.

Jim, You really could open a auto mechanic store, good to know you are a ford man, I have a Taurus!!!! I will keep you in mind..lol

Please tell Bobby, Sara and Bubba I say hello!!!! I can't wait to see Bobby's van all done.

hey, Regina and Tommy, regina 3 blenders, obsessive compulsive...lol I thought I was bad you run circles around me....lol

Well gang I will keep you posted on the home front. Have a fabulous day!!!!

Cris - sorry to hear about the cruise. And, also sorry to hear about the problems the buyer is having. I hope things work out with the financing so you can finally close on the house. I am sure it is frustrating - hang in there!

Not much is new here. I can't wait for Greg to go back to work on Friday. He's home every night I get home.....I need a break! Though he has been handling a lot of house projects, so I guess I should give him some credit for that.

Was that plane crash near Sanford close to anyone? I know Sanford is north of Orlando, but I kind of lose my sense of direction when we're in Orlando so I don't know who it is near!

Oh - we got our receipt today to show our cruise as being paid off, which was good.

I'll be watching the All-Star game tonight. That's it in my exciting life!

We are not any were near the plane crash. it really is sad. Can you imagine sitting at the table eating your breakfast and the next thing you know you are bolting out the door to save yourself. Not even being able to see if your kids are okay or not because they are in another part of the house and there is a plane in the middle of your house. My Gosh that must be a horrific feeling.

It is so sad that 5 are dead and others criticaly injured. Can you imagine being the man who lost his wife and kids like that.

Sheree I know what you mean about Walmart. I hate them all........Super Walmart or regular. But I have to admitt I get my prescriptions there (even though every time I have them refilled I swear I am never going back. I take a thyroid medicine that is cheaper to buy at Walmart with out my insurance than it is to buy anywhere with my insurance. Now isn't that a crock of crap.)

So I continue to go there every three months for my refills. I hate the grocery section as they do not stock everything my local Publix carries. And the shelves are always empty and the isles are always full of pallets of stock waiting to be put out so it blocks the isles and you can not shop. No matter what time of day you go it is the same senerio. The bacon I buy is almost $1 cheaper at the Walmart but I'd rather pay the extra and go to Publix. (nice neat clean store) However when I am in Walmart, I do stock up on cheese and bacon.

The stores look like crap all the time. My Mom says because people shop at Walmat and no one shops at Target that is why their stores are so neat. (she worked at Walmart and is so against Target because they do not let the Salvation army ring the bell at their stores at Christmas time)

I agree that if both stores carry the same item it is a bit cheaper at Walmart. At any rate I am a TARGET shopper 97% of the time. 3% of the time I go to Walmart.

Well enough about that................

Chris anD Julie good luck on the sell of the house. I am afraid that I could not live in such small quarters. There would not be enough room for all my shoes. I am wondering where Julie will store all her jewlery if you move in to a garage apartment. I have only seen her a few times other than the cruises and she has on different earrings that match her outfit every time. I know that half of the garage will be to store her jewlery. If she is getting rid of anthing let me know. :) And what about her shoes? She must have as many shoes as I do. That would really be hard for me to do. As it is now we have a 4 bedroom house and we do not have enough room and it is just the 2 of us. Every closet if full to the max and we can barely shut the closet doors. I guess I am blessed and did not even realize it until now.

One nice thing if I remember correctly, didn't you say she has a pool? So I guess there are pro and con about moving.

Okay that is my =twocents worth for tonight.

Ok - everyone must know that Walmart is bad when 2 of the world's most crazy shoppers hate going there....

I'll save my Walmart stories for in person because I have to do my impressions of the people that I've had problems with in there. Oh, I can't stand that place....but I'll get my nerve up to go in there this weekend to check on blenders.

Regina, Julie does not have lots of jewelry and shoes, thats me Cris you quack!!!!!lol I am going to minimize considerably, I say I can do this in my mind but I hope my body goes along with it...lol My sister does have a pool and I do plan on making the outdoors an additional living place, my sister is considering putting up a built in cheeky hut type of thing so if we get to do that it will be great.

Sheree, It is hard to get use to having the hubby around when you are use to a few days home by yourself. When Julie use to work nights and I worked days we only saw each other a few hours a day if that. When she got a day shift it was an adjustment!!!

Hi everyone else!!!!!!!

ciao for now!!

Cris - thanks for clarifying on the jewelry/Julie situation. As someone who loves jewelry, I was thinking "hmmm...how did I never notice that about Julie?"

And I am so hoping that Greg gets called for overtime this weekend so I can have some alone time. Love him - but he needs to go back to work.

65 days until we meet up in Miami.....not that I am counting or anything!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Good evening all,

Cris, sorry everything is being delayed on the house. If you don't mind me asking, why just BofA, they are usually much higher in rates and closing cost than most brokers. Each time we have financed a house / refinanced, we have gone with Bankrate.com for our loans. Best rates, fastest closings.

On the Wal-mart issue, we have a Super Wal-mart right down the road from us thats very convenient. While I do have problems with the customer service from time to time, I have to say the store is very well kept (we moved out of the projects ;) ) Besides there are zoning requirements to locate a business within 5 miles of Casa De'Anne. My biggest complaint with Walmart is the lack of register operators and the abundance of those self check-outs available! If you are fortunate enough to get a register operator, that person is usually starting a fourth career and you can guarantee a long wait. We have a nice Target about 15 minutes from here,which we shop at. However the bulk of our shopping is at Costco...thank God Dillards isn't in the grocery end yet!

Dan, I wish you were right - we're 64 days away now. And Costco is great. We help your company out too!

George - don't you like the self chekouts? I love that - I don't even have to talk to anyone. Of course, I used to love to play with a cash register when I was a kid and ring up items, so maybe that's why I like the U-scan places!

Well, well.... look what the "Cats" dragged in :lol Yeah, it's me, Doris. Congrats on all the baby news, cars, houses, cruises, blenders, etc.! I'm doing ok these days. Have had a rough week (healthwise) but should be good to go after my "tune-up" next week. Sorry Jim...this is the kind of tune-up you can't do... or can you? =huh

I've been lurking lately and thought I would finally post. I'm really looking forward to our Princess cruise! Sorry it can't be with the Big Cats, but you don't look a gift horse in the mouth B)- (Is that how you say it?) Dee and I talk about it every day and I can't believe how excited I am about this one! Yeah, I'm jumping up and down (in my mind) X( and I'm actually starting to become a cruise junkie! With Dee working at the cruise place, and doing so well, it makes me want to learn more and more about it. Can't wait to share our great experience with everyone... I just know it's going to be awesome!

Well, Cats, it's been a pleasure. My best to all! Hope to be more active on this board.... stay tuned!

Chris I posted here last night about my goof up in nanes but it seems to have disappeared.

I knew it was you. I even had Chris typed in but then went back and chaged it to Julie. For some reason I have a brain fart when it comes to you too. I know that Julie does wear earrings like you do and that you are the one that is always colored coordinated with your shoes and jewlery.that you are the one who likes makeup. Again I looked at the screen name and the signature I visualized you then wrote Julie any way. I am so senile and forgetful since I turned 50. I also have a problem with this one lady at work and manytimes call her aother ladies name. Once I did it once it just sticks in my pea brain. I know that you and Dee (not doris) have the purse shop but I still am confused alot. at any rate......... I AM SO SORRY!

Regina.....when did you turn 50? I must've missed that one!

Doris - glad you decided to post. Greg and I think about you often and wonder how you are doing. I really hope that you continue to post. Never underestimate Jim, you know, he might be the mechanic that you need. To heck with those doctors - you need a good mechanic!

Dan, how I hope your typo was true....but it seems like our cruise is sneaking up on us. When I think about how in 9 weeks from today I'll be getting my pre-cruise pedicure, it makes it seem really close.

Ok...off to enjoy my first night of quiet since Greg started his vacation over 2 weeks ago. ARGH!

Hey all! Courtney and I saw the doctor today!!!! I know the due date of the future family member!!!! The due date is March 8th!!! For those who may remember the date of my grandfathers passing was!!! THE SAME DATE! March 8th!!!! WOW!!!! We were shocked that it was the same date!!!!

Anyways, we also got a sonogram picture( I think that that is what it is called)!!! The young one is 1/2 inch in size right now!!!


It still hasn't hit me yet!!!


Hope all is well!!!

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)

Regina.....could it be that you didn't mention it back in May so we'd not make a fuss over it? I can't remember you posting about it. Anyway - if there was ever anyone who didn't act that age, it would be you!

Dan....my niece was born the same day as my grandmother died....in the same year. My mom was an emotional wreck because she got the call that her mother had died, hung up the phone, and then a minute later my brother called to say my sister-in-law was in labor. I think my mom has always thought that there was something special about that happening. I am sure it'll make a sad day a happy one for you, if the due date becomes the actual birth date.

George - where are you hiding? I saw you on-line last night and expected to read a witty post from you this morning. Oh, so disappointed.....

Hi everyone else - happy Friday the 13th!
