You get the last word...

[Rank]

Wedding bells, I wonder who the heck thought that one up.

[flash]

UP ,up ,and away.

[Ms Grumpy]

Away we go.

[flash]

Go to work .

[flash]

Work is good again, new boss.

[Ms Grumpy]

Boss man wasn't that a wrestler?

[Warputer]

Wrestler is what I am when in the car, on a bumpy road, at anything over sixty.

[Ms Grumpy]

Sixty, isn't that the age of most people who love the Pacifica.

[grandsport]

Pacifica is way too cool for the older crowd.

[Ms Grumpy]

Crowd control is something that can cause the crowd pain.

[flash]

Pain in the neck is what I have.

[grandsport]

Have to admit I like Flash even more now that I know he rescued dogs.

[shadowgray396]

Dogs is what we have been looking at. So many to choice from.

[Ms Grumpy]

From today, it is less than 2 weeks till the kids start school.

[shadowgray396]

School is where I will be on monday, classes begin at the college level around here. I teach a surveying class.

[flash]

Class is in session here .

[Ms Grumpy]

Here we are getting ready for Friday morning at 9am, they are taking school pictures.

[Warputer]

Pictures are worth a thousand words.

[grandsport]

Words are like weapons, they hurt you sometimes.

[flash]

Sometimes I just want to go hide .

[grandsport]

Hide and seek is a fun game,except no one ever looked for me .

[flash]

Me ,Im just glad its finally FRIDAY.

[Warputer]

Friday is actually Monday....for some of us with shift work.http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn273/Warputer1/blowup.gif

[flash]

Work has been crazy since the classes have started back .Our college kids are so spoiled.

[Warputer]

Spoiled can also be defined by my 14 year old.

[Ms Grumpy]

Old age, a time when we reflect on what we did right and wrong, and brings the phone calls that our kids in college need money.

[grandsport]

Money is power.I seem to loose power everyday.

[flash]

Everyday Im amazed at how little I know.

[Warputer]

Knowing what I do now, I'd love to go back to 16 again.

[flash]

Again to be 16 ,not for me .

[Ms Grumpy]

Me and my son just got back from taking school pictures, what an experience, kids running around, parents not having any control and preteen girls screaming.

[flash]

Screaming kids drive me nuts.

[Ms Grumpy]

Nuts are a great thing with an ice cold beer.

[grandsport]

Beer is a nice beverage.

[Ms Grumpy]

Beverage of choice for you, isn't it ?

[Warputer]

It is my choice of drink, when off from work.

[flash]

It is nice to be done moving the gun safe in the basement.

[Ms Grumpy]

Basement is a great place to hide a body, isn't it flash ? :)

[Warputer]

Flash sounds to be a little sneaky.

[shadowgray396]

Sneaky might be his middle name.

[flash]

Name is Flash ,middle name might be Sneaky.

[grandsport]

Sneaky,is a silly word.

[flash]

Word is sneaky not silly.

[Ms Grumpy]

Silly and sneaky thats what we are going to start calling you flash.

[grandsport]

Flash is something that could put one in jail.

[shadowgray396]

Jail not a place I would ever want to go.

[Warputer]

Go back to bed, is what I want but it's time to head to work.

[flash]

Work I am at this morning.

[flash]

Morning is past ,now it is lunch time.

[grandsport]

Time today is going much too fast.

[Ms Grumpy]

Fast times at Ridgemont High.

[grandsport]

High,I wish I were at this moment.

[flash]

Moment is gone.

[grandsport]

Gone is my brain.

[Ms Grumpy]

Brain cells go away when you are higher than a kite.

[Warputer]

Kites look fun until you try one, then you realize what a pain in the azz they are.

[flash]

Are we going somewhere?

[Ms Grumpy]

Somewhere over the rainbow.

[Ms Grumpy]

Rainbow, an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere.

[grandsport]

Atmosphere is getting too brainey.

[Ms Grumpy]

Brainey is that really a word in the dictionary ?

[flash]

Dictionary is a book filled with little used words.

[grandsport]

Words that are a little used,I can sell them.

[flash]

Them aint for sale ,they are free.

[flash]

Freebird is one of my favorite songs . Its also the name of Joans red Trans Am.

[Ms Grumpy]

Am I the only one going crazy ?

[flash]

Crazy ? I qualify as that.

[Ms Grumpy]

That is something that i will not disagree.

[grandsport]

Disagree is something I NEVER do at the grandsport residence.

[flash]

Residence in Georgia is the place for me.

[grandsport]

Me don't want to go inside.It's freezing.

[shadowgray396]

Freezing is what we will be doing in the winter time.

[flash]

Time to get work started.

[flash]

Started work and now Im ready for quiting time.

[grumpy]

Time is like money, never enough of either.

[flash]

Either do something or dont.

[grandsport]

don't feel like it.

[Warputer]

It is about time for me to head to work for the night.

[Ms Grumpy]

Night jobs are for night owls.

[flash]

OWLS are a favorite bird of one of my co-workers .I buy her owl figurines every time I find one at a garage sale.

[flash]

Sale, sale ,sale . Thats what Gary is having at work.

[flash]

Work is a little slower today since most people here are taking an extra day off.

[grandsport]

Off my rocker is where I'm headed.

[flash]

Headed ,youre there dude.

[grandsport]

Dude,you ain't right either.

[Ms Grumpy]

Either one of you could us a new rocker.

[flash]

Rocker panels are needed on my old chevy truck .

[grandsport]

Truck goes zoom zoom.

[Ms Grumpy]

Zoom zoom zoom isn't that the theme song for a Mazda ?

[flash]

Mazda ,I had one of those once until it met a tree head on .The tree won.

[Rank]

Won (pronounced "one") is the coin of the realm of South Korea. [Sarah Pailan voice] "I could see North Korea from my front porch."

[grandsport]

Porch is my favorite place.It would really be cool if Maureen and Sarah were both here with Grandsport.

[shadowgray396]

Grandsport sounds lonely

[flash]

Lonely is a terrible feeling .

[Ms Grumpy]

Feeling the blues seems to be going around.

[Rank]

Around here the empty nest puts a smile on my face!

[shadowgray396]

Face the day with a smile on your face and the world will smile with you.

[flash]

You guys and gals always make me smile.

[Rank]

Smile! ... damnit!

[flash]

Damnit I lost my place.

[shadowgray396]

Place is quiet tonight. Not much going on here/

[Warputer]

Here at work, there has been plenty going on.....I need a vacation.

[Ms Grumpy]

Vacation is over for kids, soon they will be back to school.

[flash]

School (university) is where I will be again Tuesday morning ,got to fix another water leak under a building.

[grandsport]

Building a better tomorrow is my goal.

[flash]

Goal is sometimes hard to hit.

[Ms Grumpy]

Hit a homerun today with some awesome food and smoked brisket.

[flash]

Brisket is something Im not familiar with.

[shadowgray396]

With this day gone it's time to get some sleep. Back to the grind tomorrow.

[flash]

Tomorrow is now today .

[Warputer]

Today will be yesterday, on tomorrow.

[shadowgray396]

Tomorrow tomorrow is only a day away.

[grandsport]

Away from this office would be sweet.

[Ms Grumpy]

Sweet Caroline,
good times never seem so good
i've been inclined
to believe it never would.

[flash]

Would be nice if people were honest about the condition of the car they are selling.

[Ms Grumpy]

Selling and buying a car can be stressful.

[grandsport]

Stressful ain't the word for that task.

[flash]

Task is to find another Malibu.

[grandsport]

Malibu is asleep in her favorite chair.

[Warputer]

Chairs are useful but a Lazy-Boy is a must!

[flash]

Must be time to get started again.

[flash]

Again Im about done for the night.

[grandsport]

Night is something that happens quite frequently.

[Ms Grumpy]

Frequently we are asked to do things that are inappropriate.

[grandsport]

Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.

[Ms Grumpy]

Tolerated a lot of jerks working in the food industry.

[shadowgray396]

Industry at a whole is slow these days, maybe things might pick up soon finally.

[grandsport]

Finally is aslo known as Hank.

[flash]

Hank is a good guy to have here.

[shadowgray396]

Here is where my daughter has come back to vist from Orlando Florida this week

[Ms Grumpy]

Week is almost over and alot of our members are looking forward to a great weekend in Michigan at Frankenmuth.

[grandsport]

Frankenmurh,wasn't that the birthplace of Frankenstein?

[flash]

Frankenstein was a cool song way back when.

[Rank]

When people mention the word "Frankenstine" some people think of Fred Munster or Boris Karloff and high voltage electric... but, yes, I think of Edgar Winter and the volume turned up to eleven!

[Ms Grumpy]

(On the) eleven-th day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Eleven ladies dancing
Ten pipers piping
Nine drummers drumming
Eight maids milking
Seven swans swimming
Six geese laying
Five gold rings
Four colly birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves and
A partridge in a pear tree.

[Rank]

Tree the witches and Goblins, carve the turkey ..... then we can sing christmas carols!

[Ms Grumpy]

Carols are for Christmas time, but when I started to write a post using eleven, it was the first thing that popped into my mind, then I had that song stuck in my head, repeating over and over.

[flash]

Over rated is what Christmas has become due to the commercialism of it. And Im not yet ready for Christmas .

[grandsport]

Christmas,bah-hamburg.

[Rank]

hamburg? Isnt that the birthplace of the hamburger?

[flash]

Hamburger sounds goosd for lunch.

[flash]

Lunch is long gone and Im hungry.

[grandsport]

Hungry was a country invaded by Hitler.:)

[Rank]

Hitler once said "What good fortune for governments that the people do not think."

[Ms Grumpy]

Think I am really tired after a long day, that was fun and eventful.

[grandsport]

Eventful is always a good end result.

[Ms Grumpy]

Result of hard work and lots of money and time could be a beautiful driving machine.

[flash]

Machine is what my tractor is.

[grandsport]

Is this not the end all result?

[flash]

Results are not always good.

[Rank]

Good golly grab some grub and get going ..... geeesh!

[Ms Grumpy]

geeesh ! I thought that maybe someday I could get close to the post count of grandsport, but now I know that possibility is unrealistic.

[grandsport]

Unrealistic to catch me? That is a correct statement.

[Ms Grumpy]

Statement of truth, from a used car salesman, isn't that called an oxymoron ?

[grandsport]

Oxymoron is someone who puts too much bleach in the wash.

[Ms Grumpy]

Wash and wax, wash and wax, isn't that what we all do repeatedly ?

[flash]

Repeatedly ,wash and wax .Not me -I wash ,wax and then drive .

[grandsport]

Drive is something I an glad I no longer do as much.

[Ms Grumpy]

Much snow will be coming in a couple of months, not looking forward to waiting til spring, but then again I still have a few more weeks to find some fun.

[shadowgray396]

Fun is what we all wish we could do everyday.

[Warputer]

Everyday pretty much sums up my work schedule lately.

[flash]

Everyday above ground is a great day .

[Ms Grumpy]

Days are getting shorter as we enter into Autumn.

[grandsport]

Autumn,I hate what comes next.

[Ms Grumpy]

Next is winter, I love snow !!

[flash]

Snow suxxxxx .Dont want nun.

[flash]

Nuns have a habit.

[flash]

Habit is this computer .

[Ms Grumpy]

Computer is turning us all into geeks.

[Warputer]

Geeks need love too.

[Rank]

Too much lovin' sometimes gets in the way of life .............. I heard!

[flash]

Heard it thru the grapevine.

[Ms Grumpy]

Grapevine is a great place to get the main ingredient for a great bottle of wine.

[grandsport]

Wine is something I feel I will be doing a lot of when I start my project.:p

[flash]

Project cars can be a pain in the butt . Anybody need a project ?

[Rank]

Project? Why are most of my projects devised by my wife?

[flash]

Wife needs to keep you busy and out of trouble.

[grandsport]

Trouble costs time and money.

[flash]

Money dont matter ,they will print more .

[Ms Grumpy]

More hours in the day is what is needed to get everything, or at least some of the things, we need accomplished.

[grandsport]

Accomplished pianist I am not.

[shadowgray396]

not much going on here right now. It's time to get ready for another day with a good nights sleep.

[flash]

Sleep deprived I am .

[grandsport]

Am radio has poor reception.

[flash]

Reception for Chevelle gathering is at Garys house ,all the free beer you can drink.

[grandsport]

Drink away my friends!

[Rank]

Friends, romans and country men, lend me your beers.

[flash]

Beers for Gary ,water for Flash.

[Ms Grumpy]

Flash just needs parking spaces, didn't he just purchase a new project.

[flash]

Project cars are for sale ,but I bought a new tractor . 55 Chevy Bel Air may soon be traded for a 30th anniversary Camaro convertible for Ms Flash as a daily driver.

[Warputer]

Drivers are made....not born but my wife would disagree with this.

[grandsport]

This is one hell of a tread.

[Warputer]

Tread was left on the backroads by my old 4 door. :p

[flash]

Door should be closed while driving.

[grandsport]

Driving miss Lindsay.:p

[flash]

Lindsey is a lucky young lady.

[RBeckman]

Is it me? I just don't understand this thread.

[shadowgray396]

Thread goes on and on and on and on. Its like the song that never ends

[flash]

Ends are hard to meet.

[RBeckman]

That's what she said.

[flash]

Said and done are two different animals.

[grandsport]

Animals at my home are plentiful.

[Ms Grumpy]

Plentiful premiers for the new season of shows on TV, start not this week, but next.

[grandsport]

Next up is grandsport.

[RBeckman]

That's what she said.

[flash]

Said who ???????

[grandsport]

Who are you?

[Ms Grumpy]

You, grandsport, are apparently popular.

[Rank]

Popular thing to do is to get a colonostomy at age 50.

[grandsport]

50 is not a word.:p

[RBeckman]

Sept 30 and I can't wait.....NOT

[Rank]

Not a bad thing, just dont post the pics on the internet!! LOL

[Warputer]

Internet can be your friend........or your worst nightmare.

[Ms Grumpy]

Nightmare on Elm Street movies were popular in the 80's.

[Warputer]

80's music is still one of my favorites........but don't tell anyone.

[Rank]

Anyone hear of the radio station 91X out of TiaJuana, talk about great 80's music!

[RBeckman]

Anyone hear of the radio station 91X out of TiaJuana, talk about great 80's music!


For some reason we can't get 91X out of TiaJuana here in Michigan...it's very static.

Plus 70's Music is the best...Led Zepplin, Bad Company, Bob Segar, BTO, Aerosmith, Deep Purple...aw the memories.

[flash]

Memories from my youth are hard to find.

[shadowgray396]

Find that working on my car is frustrating, frustrating, frustrating

[Ms Grumpy]

Frustrating, frustrating, frustrating, that describes rain on the weekends.

[grandsport]

Weekends normally occur every 5 days.

[Ms Grumpy]

Days are getting shorter, but work list keeps getting longer.

[Warputer]

Longer hours at work are coming to an end, the economy is killing us.

[flash]

US ,as in we went yard saleing today and bought 2 cool gas station signs .

[shadowgray396]

Signs of the time things are still slow to recover

[grandsport]

Recover is not something I have to do with my interior.

[Warputer]

Interior of my car is a disappointing thing to see.

[Ms Grumpy]

See how the economy has sucked the life out of the car prices, watch the Barrett Jackson auctions starting this week from Las Vegas.

[flash]

Vegas is one place we didnt go this summer.

[Warputer]

Summer is slowly coming to an end & I'm going to miss it.

[flash]

It is Monday already.

[grandsport]

Already to make some money this week.:)

[flash]

Week is going to be too long.
