You know Eeyore...

Since I have had time to just sit here and stare at the thread, waiting for it to grow, I have had time to ponder your avatar.

It doesnt really go with your screen name, you know?

You need a cutesy picture.

HA. I was just thinking this morning about how I loved how opposite Eeyore's avatar and name were. (And now I've outed myself as the weirdo who thinks about people's avatars while doing dishes. lol)

Um, really? What the heck is a blankity blank RAINBOW?

Mom me? Or Mom Farm? *feeling a little sensitive here..seems that after the name MOM you, too, left a blank..a blank with dots..*

Well if I could fill the blanks in the blanken rainbow here I wouldn't have left it so blankity blank!

Mom you! I was attempting to ask what the Mom... blank meant. This is confusing.

Juise was ho-ing about and braggin bout it, now she has P.I. Because of it.

Dang nab it! Olive was hoeing, too!! How come I am the only one who gets ragged on!! I'm not as scary as Olive. I need to work on being as scary as Olive. Raaarrrrr!!! I am Olivesque, hear me roar!!!

P.I.? ....Private investigator? Painfully inappropriate? Physically injured? Pizza incursion? What?!?

You're right. Cutesy is much more in line with my personality...

I find this statement rather suspicious...

I must say though that it is hard to know whether to get attached to the young fella as at such a young age, 20 & 22yrs.

I remember my 20s... oh, wait.

You never know, CG, DH and I have known each other since I was 7. We weren't a "thing" until I was 20 or so. Actually most of the intervening time I was really good friend with his older brother, and was roommates with him (my BIL) for a couple years when we were going to collage. We are still really good friends, except when I tell him to get his *#@$ out of my garage, lol. Speaking of which, we have the same problem with him. He lives in North Carolina, and every time he comes to visit he brings another girl with him, and we all get attached, and then we never see her again. Now I really struggle with trying not to like them too much! Although right now he has been with this girl quite a while, she might even make it for a second visit, lol.

Or when they were 18 yrs and 'on their own' I could relax.

Are you kidding me? That's the part that scares me the most!! Which may be rather telling of my teenage and early 20s years...

Im quite upset that I just noticed I made a typo and used 'their' instead of 'there' and now you have all read it so THERE is no sense going back and editing it.

Ooooh, that drives me nuts! But I heard tell that we aren't supposed to say anything about grammar here, and it's only a blank blanked miracle that I had never been sassy about it before.

Several hundred.... maybe a lot more.... RaZ was commenting on the uses of there and their, ... And how it irratated him when people used the wrong one. As well as people not bothering to spell through all the way, but had abbreviated it to thru. If I am correct, Olive chimed about the some other visual annoyance... I have done my dangdest to not use the wrong terms. However, I figure, one of these days I am going to write a completely grammatically incorrect post just to be a royal annoyance. Just now though, I don't feel like it.

P.I.... Particularly irritating... proverbial idiot... pretty interesting... OH, Poison Ivy!

My son... My oldest one that is... Has discovered Pirates of the Caribbean... HAHA. He is so clued to the TV right now, I bet I could go finish my coop and he wouldn't even notice me gone. Only it is raining... Ug.

I have semi-recently doubled the amount of movies my kids have seen in order to try to get things done. A movie every once in awhile so I can seriously get things clean / accomplish things that really need to get accomplished isn't going to kill them. Anyway, they have now been introduced to the Chronicles of Narnia via the first 2 films, and to the first 3 Harry Potter movies, which I had never seen. Actually I still haven't seen them, but I have heard most of them, lol.

Kaia really wants to see more of them, I have heard that after the third movie they get a lot scarier, though. Don't know without seeing them, my kids have a pretty odd idea of what constitutes "scary", and I am never going to get the chance to sit down and watch a movie by myself to see, maybe in 15 years, lol. It's been about 5 years since I have seen a movie.

I haven't let Jace see past 4 on the Harry Potters. BUT, I think he might be ok with 4... The end I think will be the scariest part for him. I am a bad mom. I let him watch the 5th element. He thought it was great watching that girl kick all those aliens rear ends. HAHA

He hasn't seen the chronicles yet... HM.....

 

[NovaAman]

Huh... My post just went to oblivion...

Anyway, I had said that HP4 may be a bit to scary, especially at the ending. The boys have not seen Narnia... I just ordered it off of netflix. See if he likes it. Also was going to suggest that Kaia might like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Not the original, Willy Wonka... But the Johnny Depp one. It actually follows the book pretty closely, including all he songs that Dahl wrote in the book.

 

[NovaAman]

WTH! Now that is just crazy...

Cute, Bianca!

Nova, my kids are totally fine watching things that probably most people wouldn't even consider for their ages, but "normal" kids shows / movies terrify them. My parents tried to show them both Flushed Away and Madagascar and they didn't make it past the very beginning, they were too scared, but then they are totally cool watching things like Howl's Moving Castle, where at one point Howl comes in dripping blood everywhere, and there is bombing of the cities, etc., or Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, where there is fighting, people be shot / sworded, blood, and some gorey images, and those are fine. Of course, they are also super amazing movies, and have great messages, in particular Nausicaa. First 3 Harry Potter films were just ticky boo, though I doubt most people would let a 1 1/2 year old and a 4 y/o watch them, and same with the two Narnia movies they watched. Those were really cool, I had not seen them, but I loved the books when I was little. We're also reading them, so that makes it more fun.
