hubby andI went to the furniture store tonight. We bought a sofa and a chaise lounge. We're going to buy another chair for our foyer. We also went to Home Depot to get some paint swatches, and we've pretty much decided on the colors for each room.

So you are saying it NEVER gets down to -34 DEGREES Fahrenheit in San Francisco like it did in my town during FEB/2005?

WHAT'S WITH THAT?

What colors you going for!?

I've been having problems the last few days too, tasha - I thought it was slow dial-up. You're not alone!



You have got to be so excited! I can't wait to see pictures.

You didn't mention WHERE Munch got shot, SisJ.

And I DON'T mean "in the courtroom".

He got shot in his PRIDE, didn't he?

I am excited for you, jc. I am also curious what colors you are looking at. Glad you are off to a great start.

That reminds me of JAG!!

Gunny: I got shot.
Gloria: Where?!?!?!?
Gunny: In New Mexico---white wine okay? [walks away]

If by PRIDE you mean @$$, then yes.



I loved Gunny, he was cute!

All I know is when I fall on my @$$ nothing gets hurt but my 'pride'

I thought that's what you meant.

I admit to having a crush on him.

Wow, getting bits for a new house is so much fun. Renting is the only option for me for now.

You lucky dog!!! Hope the painting goes well!!

Cloggs

Mac: You really love this don't you.
Harm: What arguing with you?
Mac: Yeah. The investigations, the interviews and yes our arguments. I'm beginning to understand why you came back. You need JAG just as much as JAG needs you.
Harm: What about you? You'd like to have me back?
(Mac's phone rings before she can reply)

I noticed that too...I thought the "off-topic" thread would have been a fine place for all of those other topics...maybe its just me




haha, thats a heat wave in Michigan! It been in the 60's all week, I've been running around in a tee shirt!


I love Munch and Finn...they go well together and they are so funny!




Yeah, in his keister...I believe he asked Finn if he wanted to kiss it and make it better,

60's is a heatwave in PA, too. We hit 85 here yesterday and it's only going to be in the 50's today -

Again ITA with you KimT on the thread issue and the Munch and Finn issue. I LOVED when Munch asked Finn if he wanted to kiss 'it' and make it better. I don't know two men who could play off ech other so well and bicker like they do. I love them.

Yes we have seen one ex wife on H Lots, he helped her bury her dad. She is the actress who played Laka's wife on Taxi's.

Harm: Come on, Mac. What are you doing? Open up.
Mac: Uh, packing.
Harm: Well, open up. Let me help.
Mac: I'm also dressing.
Harm: I can help with that, too.
Mac: Put you on a carrier and you revert to .... [opens the door and sees him standing there with flight line gear] a truly considerate fellow officer.

The family and I are going to DC/Philly/Hershey/Pitts this summer! The kids have studied parts of the American Revolution, Civil War, George Washington, the Liberty Bell and are looking forward to seeing DC, the White House, the Liberty Bell, Gettysburg, maybe Trenton, NJ where Geo. W. crossed the Delaware, and of course, HERSHEY!!!!!!

We looked at staying at the Hershey hotel and the Hershey lodge -- DAM#, those places are SOOOO expensive! So, still not sure where we'll be staying in Hershey area.

We're planning on being in DC for the 4th of July -- kids are excited about the fireworks, etc. Also going to take in a couple of Astro's games -- Astros at Pittsburg Pirates and Astros at Washington Nationals in the NEW NATS BALLPARK!!! Should be lots of fun. Also looking at water parks, theme parks, historical sites and planning a visit with some old friends.

Any ideas, hints, suggestions are welcome, as I know there are folks here from Pennsylvania who can give us some ideas.

Happy Sunday, ya'll!

Detroit Red Wings play the Nashville Predators today on NBCHD and CBCHD at 03:00 P.M. This is Game 6 of the best-of-seven with the Red Wings leading in games 3-2.

San Jose Sharks play the Calgary Flames today at 5:00 pm. This is Game 6 of the best-of-seven with the San Jose Sharks leading in games 3-2.

GO SHARKS BABY!

You shpuld try an ethiopian food place...get something called the feast...its delicious! It is a little different so ytou may wanna research it first if your family are picky eateras...but its all good stuff, chicken, beef, lamb, lentils, veggies...

Red Wings beat Predators 3-0 to win best of seven series 4 games to 2.

Congratulations! The Preds played a great series! I'm hoping the Flyers will hold off the Caps, Saturday's game was so embarrassing!

I have a dvr questions: I have my dvr to record LOCI on all channels and to keep the episodes until space is needed. However, I have noticed after a few days, some episodes I watched but kept, are disappearing! And the dvr is only like 5% full! Does anyone have this problem or know why it happens?

OK, Flashymom - not sure how close you'll be to any of these places but:

The Philadelphia Zoo - excellent Zoo, the animals are beautiful and well cared for. It has a treehouse for younger kids (not really a tree house but an activity center), plenty of shade and lots to do.

Gettysburg - while I haven't been there YET, we're trying to plan a weekend there. The battlefield actually has night 'ghost tours' if that would be of any interest. There is also the Eisenhower 'mansion' that is open for touring and said to be haunted by Mame Eisenhower.

Camden, NJ has an aquarium that is awesome. Not too big but you can pet baby sharks and stingrays. The last time I was there they were remodelling and enlarging. You can park in Philly and take a ferry across the river - not too far from the Phila Zoo exit if I recall right.

Knoebels is in Elysburg, PA - it's an amusement park that is free of charge to walk around, you only pay to ride the rides and is HUGE. It's got one of the top rated wooden roller coasters in the world. My family and I go there at least once a year, if time allows.

Washington, DC is simply an amazing place. The National Zoo, the Smithsonian - the National History Museum, the National Archives, The Spy Museum (this is new and a bit out of the way, but if you can get to it, it's well worth the effort), the National Cathedral - there is so much to do in DC, but be prepared to walk. Once you get parked you need to plan on leaving your car since parking is so hard to find and traffic is usually heavy. We go to Virginia at least once a year to visit family and I love going into DC. Just walking by the White House and Executive Offices makes you proud to be American.

If you'd like I can try to get my hands on some brochures for Hershey, Philly, Knoebels and Gettysburg and mail them along to you. Let me know.

We went there a few years ago on our way to Ocean City, Maryland. Hershey Park is lovely. It is clean. Good rides. The chocolate tour if I remember is like a disney ride, you just sit in a moving ride-type car and it goes along. When the tour ends, it dumps you into a huge Hershey store where they sell everything.

There are several hotels outside Hershey too. I would look for town outside Hershey,PA Just the name alone means $$$$$. Harrisburg is not too far. Washington to Hershey is only a couple of hours drive at most. Park can be done in a day.

Amish Country is lovely too. Great little stores.

Baltimore Inner Harbor is a great family place. Science Museum is GREAT!!! Baltimore Aquarium is one of the best. We have done that several times with the kids. Even as teenagers. There is also an ESPN restaurant for the male family members.

Thanks for the Pennsylvania info. We are flying in and out of Reagan Nat'l, train to/from Philly and rental vehicle for in between. The kids are excited to be riding an Amtrak train ("A real train? Cool!"). We want to squeeze in Gettysburg and maybe Valley Forge, but not sure about time issues. Philly to Pitts is 5 hours.....

haha...Valley.

DC is awesome..my sister took us when we went to see her in Virginia. I had never been before. the monuments were so cool. We went to the Natural History Museum, the Smithsonian...we even went to the theatre in the museum and saw on of those huge movies (the name skips my mind at the moment, maybe IMAX?), but you have to wear those glasses and the show we watched was on insects...so the bugs looked like they were jumping on your face! It was very cool. The botanical gardens there are beautiful...and we actual were rushed out from the field by armed guards, behind the White House because the president was coming in on his helicopter. It was awesome!

lol. These are so funny. I hope you don't mind, I copied them onto a Word Document so I can take them to work. I work in an Agency full of Scientists and Engineers!

My oldest sister is not the brightest crayon in the box - she was with her daughter and they're walking around the White House at night and find themselves somehow on the backside in a garden - and a sniper with a rifle steps out of one of the bushes. They were actually detained and asked for ID. My niece's husband was contacted via cell phone to come retrieve them and get them away from the White House. Somehow they found a way ONTO the actual grounds and could have been arrested. If you knew my sister, you would know how hysterical the entire family finds this - but if it could happen to anyone, it would happen to her.

My niece refuses to go into DC with her mother after dark anymore.

Last Friday my husband and I bought some new furniture, and on Saturday we went to the antique store and got a couple of things.

At the antique store I picked out a chest on chest (dresser) and a night stand. The guy who was working there said that they also had a vanity that matched it. The store acquired it from a 92 year old woman (recently deceased, or sent to a nursing home I assume ) Everything is in mint condition. (pics to come)

My husband and I will also get the keys tomorrow (although we won't close until friday) so we're going to start painting.

I can't wait to see the pictures - I'm so excited for you. You have to be over the moon waiting to get in there.

I hope everyone watched JAG this morning!!!!!!

Please don't remind me!! Will the Preds EVER make it out of the first round??????

What time do they air JAG?

early.

7am and 8am to be exact

With satellite, I get it at 4 and 5 AM. I watch it as I'm getting ready for work every morning. I never watched it when it was on, but I'm really getting into it now.

Have fun getting settled in, *jc! I've only ever had one house, but I really liked it.

no problem, help yourself, it was sent to my myspace page from a friend!


Thas funny, since we actually went to the same place too. Its actually the front and side of the white house...there is a long walkway that is fenced in, but there was no one at the gate (which was open at the one end) and my sister used to work near there...so she took us down there. We ended up right in front of the White House. They were setting up off to one side, for a press conference, chairs and a podium. No one said anything to us and cops, military people and who I assume were press people were passing us as we were walking down there. It was pretty cool, but it got me thinking on how if I was not a good person, it would have been easy to go where I shouldnt have.

Ok guys, so I went to the Nashville Film Festival today. And let me just tell you that itwas AMAZING. Vincent was super hilarious and had great points. I took a fewq pics of him but it was dark and some didn't come out right. However I did get some and will be posing them on here shortly. I did get a chance to meet him and take a picture with him. I was so nervouse that I kept shaking and he ecen looked at me and asked me "why are you shaking?" and i was like "i'm just nervouse i guess." and he was so nice and said "well its alright." It was great and I am so glad I got to go.

yeah sorry i spelled nervous wrong like twice lol *nervous...sorry. :]

hey don't apologise...I would probably STILL be shaking and not even be able to type, let alone spell!! Can't wait to see the pics! You lucky dog you!!!

I hate you; You get to come close to Vincent

Hey, that is only an 'I Envy You' joke, k?



Hahaha! You are not the only one. When Joe McIntyre of New Kids tried to talk to me while signing my Scrapbook, I couldn't talk back properly to him. I was so high in the clouds, I gave my boss his wrong coffee!

Lucky you!

You have nothing to apologize for - except meeting Vincent and NOT taking me with you. Seriously, you are so lucky and the envy of the majority of folks here! Good for you. I can't wait to see the pictures. I love hearing about how sweet and kind he is - the man just seems like such a wonderful person.

Like everyone else, I wouldn't be able to type at all. It would have come out like "kdjfjeeifjdie" that probably. Made no sense at all. I am glad that he such a nice guy and loves his fans and is willing to meet them and get pics taken with them. I only wish I get that chance someday.

haha thanks for understandig. yeah i am waiting on my friend to e-mail them to me.

haha yeah i could not even process it at first i was like omg vincent d'onofrio is standing right in front of me. and i understand your joking! :]]
