Random Thoughts: A Fun Thread for Sharing Your Musings

[lockhartkitchen]

I hate it when big dogs fart and stink up the livingroom. I just sent the dog outside.

 

[KellyTheChef]

Why do I have to repeat myself several times before my DS wil listen. He is 9 and if he keeps it up he may not see 10!!!!

You know what works? TIME OUT. I did that with my THIRTEEN YEAR old a few times over the past year and you would be amazed at how much more he could hear without me repeating myself.... lol

 

[KellyTheChef]

Random thought: how can we go through an ENTIRE roll of toilet paper in less than TWELVE HOURS??!! lol (there are only two women and one man using it....)

 

[colegrovet]

why is it when you ask what everyone wants to eat for supper, they all say
"I don't care"... but as soon as you call them to come eat they look at it and and say "not hungery for that"....

Today is a beautiful day for softball.

What does KWIM stand for?

 

[chefmoseley]

Know What I Mean

 

[tlag1986]

Thanks my DD did not know. I can be a little slow sometimes.

This is so true! And when they used to ask "what's for dinner" I'd say "why do you want to know? If you get a better offer are you going to eat somewhere else? Followed usually by "then I won't bother making dinner!"

 

[tlag1986]

That's funny Tammy. Usually when I get the "I don't know" I always tell them we are fresh out how about something else.

 

[peichef]

here's my random thought for today..... my kids clearly didn't "get" the point of their Sunday school lesson on gratitude. Right now they need to be grateful that I don't believe in corporal punishment b/c I have a screaming headache & am "thisclose" to losing my tenuous grasp on sanity.

 

[pampcheflisa]

my random thought.......I have this water bottle sitting on my desk and the plastic bottle itself is kind leaning to one side and it's driving me NUTS!!

 

[TammyStar]

my random thought for today is ........how do so many of you get on chef success from work? I'd be worried about getting fired. I worked at a hospital recently where they fired someone for internet usage and it wasn't the content but the amount of time she spent online. I also know several people that were terminated for looking at porn at work but who the heck would do that? Someone with a serious problem I'm sure.

Well, I'll try to explain as brief as I can. My job itself is internet based, I manage the produce inventory for Walmart and we have access to their inventory system and do everything there. It's a website, so at my job I HAVE to have internet to work. So, they can't measure internet time by that, b/c I'm on it all day. I keep several tabs up all day and flip b/t them, so I have stuff for work up, my personal email, CS, etc. Everyone here does it (co-worker spends all day on E-bay), so we'd ALL have to get in trouble for one person to be pin-pointed. HTH!!!

 

[Chef Michelle D]

My random thought.... How am I going to pay for Christmas this year for my DS and family when we don't have enough money to pay bills. My DS is 9 and still believes in Santa and I am sure this will be his last year. He has always had lots of stuff from Santa and I don't want to downsize too much on him. I am saving for Christmas but it's hard when we have so much in bills to pay.

 

[PamperedCaniac]

Why did my husband buy cheap toilet paper!! He should know better after 7 years of marriage! UGGGHH!!

 

[colegrovet]

why does the clock run sooooo slow in the afternoon... I'm ready to to go home...

AMEN, brother!!

Random Thought: WHY am I on CS when I have SO MUCH to do before we leave on our holiday tomorrow?

 

[chefann]

I've been to both of the coney island places they're currently profiling on the Today show. And they did a good job shooting the segments in the park so that it looks lush and green. (And I LOVE that none of the shots show my former employer's headquarters, which is right next to the park!)

 

[chefann]

WTH happened to Aretha Franklin? She's on the Today Show, and could really stand to be on Celebrity Fit Club instead.

 

[Laura420]

I love the sound of the rain.

Its pouring rain here. Its supposed to rain till Sunday and I dont think I will have that sentiment by then... by I am enjoying it now... its peaceful. Just rain, no thunder or lighting... just rain.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Meredith Viera REALLY irritates me.

I didn't get much sleep last night, and she is like fingernails running down a chalkboard.

Good thing Sid The Science Kid is on PBS right now! Something decent to watch!

Another cool website for the folks who liked the demographics maps: http://www.veryshortlist.com/web/daily.cfm/review/633/Website/voting-america/This one has interactive maps that track the results of US presidential elections from 1840-2004.

Ugh! I did not need to know about that site right now - I need to get off the computer.......but maybe just a quick peek.....heeheehee.....:blushing:

Why are mechanics rude to women? I took my car to the tire place, there is a nail in the sidewall therefore it cannot be fixed the whole tire must be replaced. I only know this because when I called AAA the guy who changed my tire told me this. I take my car in say, I need a new tire, there is a nail in the sidewall just replace it like the other 3. They call me back 3 hours later to say exremely smart A$$ like, they can't "FIX" my tire because there is a nail in the side wall??? I say ever so kindly, YES I know this, that is what I told your coworker when I dropped off my car, and I specifically asked to have the tire replaced to match the other 3. Apparently he didn't hear what I said because on the order he wrote fix flat tire. GRRRRR! I guess he didn't believe me. I said, "whatever" I know there is a nail in the sidewall, I know you cannot "FIX" that. Please for the second time and I hate repeating myself, replace my tire to match the other 3!!! ggrrrr

I want some Fried Maccaroni and Cheese!!!!!!!!

I wish my husband would get here to get my hubby to school and wonders how long the daughter is going to sleep today since she woke up at 3 am then 4 and 5 and finally went back to sleep.

I work in a hospital and our cafeteria food often leaves much to be desired. BUT, they do make really yummy peanut butter cookies and I got some right from the oven today! Off to eat them now!

 

[pcsharon1]

You would think being in this business I would LOVE advertising but.........what's the first thing I do when a new magazine comes in the mail? Rip out every page that is nothing but an ad front and back. I'm sitting here with a pile of pages at my feet and a much smaller magazine!

I made a batch myself today!! Funny!!

I am thinking I might just go have one!!

 

[Chef Michelle D]

Why is my DS teacher so mean, my DS came home sick yesterday and stayed home today. She emailed me to say she was not sending home some work (with a friend) to be done. She didn't even say "hope Anthony feels better" "how is Anthony feeling", I don't get it.

 

[PamperedCaniac]

Will someone please come wrap presents at my house!?!?!?!?

 

[stefani2]

I wonder what it takes to start my own Photography business?

 

[princessmeshelle]

i hate white elephant gift exchanges. in fact, i love and hate christmas. love, all the obvious reasons, but hate how compeditive it can get and how with or with out meaning to people have this tendancy to over do things to the point of astronomical perportions. it is rediculous.

I agree---my mom started a new tradition this year. She typed up a letter to the family (extended) about 10 of us.

She packaged up 10 notecards one for each person. She wrote that we have to write a nice thought about each person on the list (thought, memory, why we love them etc). Christmas morning she hosts a breakfasts for us. Everyone is to bring their cards to the breakfast and put it in that persons "keepsake box". Each person will go home with a keepsake box and 10 notes from each family about why they are special in the family.

At first, we mocked the idea, but I think it brings the greater picture to life.

She bought quality, but inexpensive cards, and tied them up with a bow and gave them to each family member with the letter this past weekend. Giving everyone enough time to write thiers.

Hopefully will bring a MORE meaningful gift to the table.

Why do dogs smell their butt then lick themselves? ... I would think that after that whiff, the last thing on their mind would be "OH yeah, let me have a of taste that!" :yuck:

 

[princessmeshelle]

is there a cure for the smell that comes with potty training? even when i catch my son after he has had an accident all i smell is urine. i just want to burn the house down and start fresh! what does clean smell like? i have 2 kids under 3... i have no clue any more!

 

[BlessedWifeMommy]

I love the idea of this thread!

Here is my current random thought... Is there anyway to get my almost 3 year old to eat prunes? He needs the extra fiber in his diet, if you know what I mean...

 

[pcsharon1]

Me too! I enter contests every now and then but would like to actually make some money off what I love to do ---- besides PC of course

Chop them up and use them as raisins in Oatmeal Raisin cookies. I've not tried it yet but apparently you can't really tell and you get the boost of the oatmeal too.

 

[Chef Michelle D]

Why is it I always get my dog groomed on rainy days or the day after it rains. I hate the smell of wet dog.
