  1. Ahhh...little boys are a whole different animal...
  2. I made really close friends in those 14 hours...we traded off bathroom breaks...and i found out that eating at McDonald's more than once in one day is not recommended... I thought the whole "McRib" thing was funny...I also told people that we were in line for the local AA meeting being held there tonight... Oh, and then I told some people we were there for the FluMist vaccine...
  3. Absolutely....those chores have to be done without us having to ask... Also, those grades have to be up there... How many kiddos do you have?
  4. They had a "one per person" limit... Although I should have had some friends come stand in line with me...
  5. She's very pretty...and photogenic...
  6. Yeah...I know... Although my hubby loves his electronics so if I didn't buy it he would probably try to buy one off EBay for twice the price... then I would have to divorce him...
  7. Pick the right place, and it is SERIOUS cash in your pocket... Damn skippy! That's my only job...
  8. Bartend or wait tables... Work about 5-7 hours in the evening... Instant cash in your pocket...
  9. Has the first of the three ghosts visited you yet?
  10. Too many people do make Christmas into a gluttonous orgy of spending 'til their credit cards groan, or plan activities and holiday trips 'til they're exhausted. I hate people I love wasting their money buying me things I don't want or need. Those are traps my wife and I decided to avoid years ago I agree with you there...we only spend money out of our bank account...NO CREDIT CARDS...and my husband and I are not getting anything for each other. We have our own "gifts" to ourselves...me skydiving and him his band's recording their CD...
  11. Meeee Toooo... and I have good kids that we are semi strict with and expect a lot out of...I like to spoil them at Christmas...
  12. Awww...I like the whole Santa idea...I think its great that my kids get to believe that there is a little magic out there before they get old enough to realize that life usually just slaps you down and stomps on you until you beg for mercy...
  13. What is? That the McRib is back for a limited time only?
  14. I agree... Also, my mom had 7 kids and was a single mom so we never had "jaw-dropping" Christmases. I know, I know, presents aren't the "true meaning of Christmas" but I love the way the kiddos come downstairs and their eyes light up when they see what Santa has brought... I love overdoing the holidays...
  15. Of course, I look at that damn XBox and think..."that's 5 coaching jumps...sigh"...
  16. So the line stretched from the layaway department all the way to the McDonalds that they have in the store. After hour 10 or so I was feeling a bit goofy so when all the Wal-Mart shoppers started stopping and asking us what we were waiting in line for I started telling people that the McRib is back for a limited time only... I thought it was funny; some people actually believed me...
  17. Wal-Mart. I went there at 10 A.M. to buy a few groceries and ask when I should start standing in line and the manager said, "There are already people standing in line and they only have 26 premium systems." I went and got in line and was number 10.
  18. I figured 14 hours of waiting in line gave me the right to brag a little. I am the coolest parent alive!!
  19. Most of the time you land on the ground. Hee Hee
  20. Haven't read all of the stories in Everything's Eventual yet, but the one that stands out is the Autopsy one. Thought it was pretty good.
  21. I forgot about that one; loved it also. Randall Flagg again...
  22. Thad/George are also mentioned by the sheriff in Needful Things (along with Cujo; all of which happened in the same setting.).
  23. Or have a wierd impulse to buy something from a creepy guy in exchange for a prank...
  24. "Lost and alone and sitting in my own crap."
  25. Remeber a couple of years ago when Stephen King got run over by that van? Could you imagine getting out of your car and realizing that it is Stephen King that you just ran over? If it were me I would figure I would destined to be eaten by a rabid dog or chased by a killer clown or maybe shut up in some crazy lunatic nurse's house...
