A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Our Member's Interactions two aliens have landed on ch

OMG! I'm so thankful they are both OK, but what a frightening thing to happen!!
Cindy certainly didn't need any more stress!! How did Lola make out during this? Praying for them all.

My son's computers crashed...(NO I DIDN'T DO IT !!).....but he just got it fixed.

To all of you who told me things about Spokane.....
My DIL, Tracy, said she wanted to take me to that river front park, so I will get to see that. Today, I am walking with the grandchildren down the street to a park. A good walk and we can play. It is only about 4 maybe 5 blocks from their housing addition. (I am just waiting for the oldest girl to get up, and they all get their chores done. House rules!)

We will go out to eat one evening to The Melting Pot. I've never been to one before. Just an adults night out!!

Diane, I took a picture of Anika in one of the tiaras and the wand!! She said, "Do I look pretty?" LOL

I have a whole load of laundrey to do today (mine). I'm about to the end of clean clothes.

My son in VA had asked me to call them on Sat. (when I usually do at home) so that EVERYONE can talk to each other. That's going to take a LONG time, passing the phone around among five adults and six children!!!
Well, that's what vacations are for, enjoying those people we love, family and friends.

Oh....and you all would never guess what the kids have for pets!!......

CRABS!!!!!

If you make a fist, then ONE is that size. It's shell swirls out to a point.
When it's head and legs come out it is like stretching your fingers out from your fist!! The teenage girl holds it in her hand and lets it crawl up her arm!!! There are about 5 of them.
Their home is an aquarium with rocks and drift wood and sandy type soil in it.

I think it's creepy, but kind of cool too!!!

Hiya Shirley! It sounds like you're busy with the Grandbabies Glad to hear you are going out "adults Only",,, What is "The Melting pot?? "

I guess I'd rather them have crabs for pets as opposed to snakes


Awwwwwwwwww Anika Must have really like it then! Two tiara's to play with,,

Cindy, Leslie and Lola couldn't get another SUV in S. Dakota so they opted to keep on truckin' in the one they have (no seatbelts or side airbags) They passed through Sioux City Iowa a while ago and are intent on driving the rest of the way to Kentucky (900 miles) before they stop again. They all have some owies, but are OK....

Oh Bill!!! So sorry to hear that. Don't like the lack of safety issue.
Thankful to know that it is still drivable, though, since they can't get another one!!

Diane, she hasn't stopped playing with them!!! She's 'poofing' everyting she can point a wand at!!! LOL She turned me into a Fairy!!

The Melting Pot is where they serve your choices of fondue pots to your table with various foods to dip. Everyone has those long forks to use for dipping.
There's cheese dips and a chocolate dessert dip....those are the only two I know about.

Is it not possible to trade vehicles somewhere in between thru Hertz?? That's dangerous no seat belts I would think Hertz would set it up for them to have another suv available at the next location if possible,, that would be or could be a lawsuit for them if something else were to happen,, I would think Hertz would cover their own backs,, and at the same time accomodate their customer, even tho they opted to continue driving with the same suv, because of lack of space in a smaller vehicle,,
900 miles is a lot of windshield time straight driving , I hope they stop for naps here and there.
owies,, <--


Thanks for the update Bill!

Ever talk to a rock?

Awwwwwwwwww I bet you never imagined you'd have to go all the way to Washington to be poofed did ya?? At least she made you a fairy , and not something horrific,, I'm so glad she is enjoying them! :wink:


Ohhhh YUMMMMY sounds like the Melting pot is my kind of place,, take your camera!!!!!

Matter of fact I have recently

Your arrested in Penna if no seat belt.

But some folks turn off the air bag here.....Mine is on .
Well Bill all you can say is Your tried......Rock of ages.

there is a "melting Pot" close to us here in missouri. I have not been but my girls have been many times.--They love it, but say you have to be sure to take lots of green with you. seriously though it is a very nice place to go.--shirly you should enjoy it.

Bill thank you for the update. I do so wish they had of opted for a different car, or at very least that they would stop at another hertz for a differnt SUV.

And yes, I have talked to a rock----I happen to live with one.

Praying the rest of the trip goes safetly...I am shocked they were allowed to continue driving a vehicle in that shape....

Thanks for the update Bill.

Shirley? How close are you to the fires over there???

Ohhhhhhhh man Shirley I hope your not close to those fires!!!!

Disinvisibilate Cindy!

Hi Cindy.....are you hurting any? Is Lola okay? And Leslie?

You in a hotel or at a restaurant stealing a signal?

I am sorry you were hurt. And sorry the elk/deer was hurt. But I am glad to hear from you in person. I am glad you are resting. I'm am sorry Lola doesn't want to go to bed (it is hard to blame her). I do hope the rest of your journey is uneventful.

Hiya Cindy,

We ought to have you and Lola put in a ballon a keep you from harm......

Ask Bill if he is writing a book on all your adventures.? Be a best seller.
Glad your surviving....ELk or not .

Thanks for signin .Thanks Bill too.........Wonder if he is pullin out his hair yet???????

b

Glad to hear you are all ok Cindy. watch yourself OK?/ You should take Bill's place and do what is right for your health while you are with your dad.

Were you and Leslie checked out after all of this?/ Seems the car rental would of insisted on it--if just to protect themselves.

So glad to see Cindy was on here. Sorry that damaged your shoulder again!!!

It has been hard to get any computer time with two other adults and two young people who are on here.

About the fires.....we are on the other side of town, thankfully!! We did sit out on the deck for awhile watching the smoke and a water plane.

Bill, I love that word!!...... Disinvisibilate

The entire state has been declared under a "state of emergency" by the governor. Luckily there are no fires on this side of the mountains yet, but if we don't get a couple days of rain soon I'm sure that will change. I'm glad the fires over there are keeping their distance from you!

Hi Bill!

Love that word!!...... Disinvisibilate

I sure hope the fires don't cross over. I'd hate for them to get on CH!!!!

awwwww... my first cup of Joe!!! Now maybe my headache will go away!!

I enjoyed going to the park yesterday with the kids but I supidly let the youngest one get sunburned!!! I hope it won't be sore today.

I'm no longer use to taking care of little ones!!!

Bill...has Shadow been moping around with sad eyes since Cindy has been gone?

He has been a VERY sad Puppy ever since she left.....

We're on our way to London for the week. I'll see my Mommy soon!! And my baby sister!!

Take photos of London........

Whatever is happening...
In London.

:ding:

Bill, I know that you are a sad puppy too!!

Rachel, I'm so glad that you will be seeing Cindy soon!!! She will start crying agian but she will be so happy!!!

We will all be going to the riverside park today!! I think.

I'm trying to get ahold of all my family back home so we can all talk, but when one is homethe others are out and about already!!!

I'll be sure to take pics for you guys. I have some pics from yesterday that I need to post as soon as I get time. About 45 minutes from us Extreme Home Makeover Home Edition is building a house. It is SO wild watching those people work. They really do build it in 7 days. Seeing the pictures or watching it on tv doesn't do it justice.

Rachel, were you watching and taking pictures, or were you also helping?

It was soooooooo good to Cindy Post! So sorry you guys are bruised and sore from the Elk,, Noone has said how the elk faired thru it,, Leslie ,,,,, Thanks for Sharing the ride bk to KY she couldn't have done it alone,, ,,

How exciting a thing to see Rachel,, I bet there were masses of people there just watching,!! Can't wait to see your pictures!

it didn't.... RIP

We were only watching. They are turning away volunteers. Apparently they filled up pretty quick. What is really cool is the people really don't know before hand that they are getting the house. Jeremy know's the guy whose house it is. He had lunch with him last week and he didn't mention anything about it. I guess they know there is a possibility, but they don't know they got picked until that morning. Too exciting!!

I bet Brennan is happy to be seeing his Cindy Granny (or is that Granny Cindy?).
I love Amer.Extreme Home Makeover. That has got to be a top want to watch item on my list. But I don't always get to watch it. I get outvoted. Or forget it.

Have fun rachelp.....

Did Cindy take photos of the car yet?

Cindy is safely home in Kentucky

HOORAY ...................BREATH A NOTE OF RELIEF.........
THANKS BILL
