Well, we made it through about 37 minutes of the 2 hour special. Oh, MAN...it was BAD!!!!!!! Even the guy who requested it couldn't take it any more. :rolleyes: So we let our youngest member (a three year old girl) pick one out of the basket. She chose "Blizzard" - because of the reindeer on the cover. It was nearly as bad as the Star Wars special...a Hallmark movie without the romance part. I really don't know HOW bad it was - I crashed on Lew's shoulder for about 30-40 minutes in the middle of it!

Frozen, Lethal Weapon, and SAW 7 are Christmas movies.

@cowgirl836 I can’t even tell you how much stuff we have taken from Dr’s offices. Do loves to go through cupboards when we are at appointments/hospital. When we were leaving the NICU after 6 weeks the nurses are just handing us stuff out of the drawers—pretty much paid for it someway. I still have a container of that stuff. And you never really run out of the age where they need spare clothes. We have had accidents at 7 and 12yrs old. I have 2 who are notorious for holding pee until they are about to burst. And sometimes that bursting happens when they aren’t near a bathroom.

What the heck sort of adhesive do they use on the doctors office "pro" bandages? o_O Had this bandage from yesterday (got an IV so big needle poke). Yank this thing off my hairy ape arm and theirs enough glue stuff left on my arm to hold rocket engine parts together. Seriously, if I was super elderly with crepe thin skin it would have ripped my flesh off. Used rubbing alcohol and and than cooking oil trying to clean this **** off my arm...about 50% effective. Had to use Goo Gone which got most of it off. Was thinking I'd have to escalate to acetone. :rolleyes:

I had the dermatologist take a second go at a "severely abnormal" mole. She had to put two layers of stitches in it. The nurse told me to not even attempt to remove that bandage they put over it without getting in the shower. The hot water did help.

Severely abnormal reminded me of:

Made the weekly grocery trip. Great things: Santa visited the store! Z decided she would go up and talk to him. Great for my shy girl and she spoke loud enough for him to hear.

Frustrating thing: Hyvee has joined the vague peanut labeling folks. I'm fairly certain they have to, but the last time I asked they could tell me if they baked peanut butter cookies or items with the batch of choc. chip. Well, since we were looking at the pretty frosted sugar cookies I went to ask the same question thinking surely with the big batches, surely the cookies were separated from the peanutty items. NOPE. So, poor Z got to be sad while I did the hard thing of not taking the risk.

I told her we'd go and get a treat from Panera instead. Thankfully she has moved on.

Oh yeah, we took everything from the hospital room.

I was peeling adhesive off myself for a month after baby, no joke. Some because I couldn't reach all my back but I just kept finding more and it's so strong!

That's the trick. I'm trolling with the idea that Fred could basically buy back his job, but Prohm doesn't have what it takes.

No need to troll, we have plenty of fans to go ape **** in every gameday thread. Just peaked in. Woof, glad I don't go in those during the game.

For every poster that freebases the Cyclone Kool Aid there is one or more self-loathing Cyclone ready to bail out of the airplane without a chute after they kill the pilot. Just reinforces my take that at least 50% of the adult human population are ******** and/or idiots. The worst of the worse are both.
