Help Support Crohn's Disease Forum:

Dex hasn't been around...miss him terribly but am friends with him on fb...and caught him lurking in my photos! :heart: I understand the need to step back sometimes, though...but it isn't the same without him!
 
Loved the banter between you and Trev last night (well it was night here).Have just caught up and had a really good laugh,and they say it's the best medicine.Keep up the good work,but no pressure.
 
Dear Queen Dusty,

I am delighted to be a member of your Fan Club. However I regret to say my 'welcome pack' has failed to arrive. I am particularly missing the signed photo as I need to replace the old one on my dartboard.
 
Feck me Robbie! You think I started my own fan club?!?!?! You of all people should know better than that...

Kylie Fan Club

You too can be so lucky!!!

For all enquiries please contact Robbie (President)


^^^^ Ring a bell?! You need to contact the President. :yfrown:

...you are indeed blessed that I even respond to your posts! :biggrin:
 
@muppet...

Angie is spot on. Dex is taking some time away from the forum and I have no doubt you all understand the need for that at times. :hug:

Miss ya bro!
Dusty. xxx

:rosette1:
I like you!
Not in a romantic way mind you but in a total AW-inspiring way!:ybiggrin:

Anyone that can get Dusty's goat (American farm term) deserves the up most respect know to man!:rolleyes:

Keep up the good work and carry on!:medal1:


:heart:Love you Dusty:eek:utahere:
 
Oh FW, you are deluded. :lol: Robbie doesn't have my goat but I do have his balls in a jar on the kitchen shelf. :ybiggrin:
 
Dear Queen Dusty,

I am honoured that a Super Duper Moderator would spare time on a little person. Actually being in the Kylie and Dusty Fan Clubs is like being in a dream and nightmare at the same time - bizarre.

I detect a few cracks in the empire Dusty, 'just saying'!

You need to wake up and smell the coffee Robbie. Just sayin'
 
Awwww, poor Robbie. :cry:

You got an F for effort. :(

Only Trev or I deserved to win that thread, we were the only ones that stuck it out from the outset, so justice was done! :lol:

Huh! Since when have I taken such a reasonable view! Besides what about poor Trev- what chance did he have - after you crushed him on the 'Crush Thread' - bully!

You did post me a pic of Kylie today though, just for me - so maybe there is hope for you.
 
Wow Dusty - I had no idea - I'm shocked. I would guess you can also perform the Nutcracker.

How is Mrs Palmer and her five daughters?

I had to look that up in the 'Australian Book of Slang' - my but that is a big book - runs to several volumes.

Anyway Dusty it is time for your medication - Doctor will be along in the morning.
 
It's a lovely analogy don't you think? Now if Kylie had five sisters...Nah you'd be dead from the excitement.

Ooooooo goody. :)
 
I am as matter of fact. Didn't you receive your invitation???

It will be a seafood BBQ, BYOG and chair. :)
 
Hmmm...I like Grog. I thought it was *girl*. But whatever. C'mon, farmwife, we can carpool across the pond. ;)
 
Well just jump on a plane you lot! Santa is arriving in the hour and the BBQ will soon be fired up!
 
I'm not so sure, Dex...I'm used to the Christmas lights being covered in the white fluffy stuff. Although it can go away after my white Christmas is over. :) I visited Hawaii in January a few years back...it was surreal to see palm trees in Christmas lights lol!
 
I know what you mean Angie,
I went to the local Wally World (Wal-Mart) and I saw one of those six foot Palm trees that are made out of glorified pipe cleaner. Well, my hubby and I had a good ole time drinking Gatorade picturing Hawaii for Christmas. That's how farmer's take a vacations!
 
I can't imagine fw...I don't have a *pet* because I want to be able to leave for a weekend with as little fuss as possible (said lightly as a single mom to two kids lmao)...I can't even fathom not being able to leave the farm.
 
Dusty- I have plenty of my own grog, someone to watch my pets & an a udnace of frequent flyer miles. Get my chair ready!!!!

J.
 
It has gone midnight and I hear a sleigh on the roof...or is that lightning???

The chairs are at the ready! You lot better turn up or i will be mightily pissed, in both senses of the word, and looking like the fecking crazy cat lady scoffing prawns and lobster all on my own surrounded by bloody cats!
 
I *love* to wrap, muppet...you just deliver those gifts and they'll be the prettiest Izzy has ever seen. :)
Dusty, I would love to show up. My friends generally supply the grog, but I guess you get a pass for all of your help through the last 2 years. Maybe I'll even bring you some! ;)
 
I used to be really good at wrapping. I honestly was. I don't quite recall when I suddenly became terrible at it, which is why I'm convinced that I either had a stroke which erased both my Christmas related skills and my memory of the stroke, or I was abducted and brainwashed by Christmas-hating extraterrestrials.

It's probably that second one.

I went to AC Moore and bought some very nice, durable gift boxes with Norman Rockwell style prints on the covers of Santa Claus for my wife's gifts. On each one I added a little comic "word bubble" made of white paper and so every present has Santa saying something off-color beneath the wrapping.

Only in my marriage could I anticipate this being vastly appreciated. :)
 
Well I finally hauled ass and got the whole house decorated and all the gifts bought and wrapped onlt to realize I am short a few. So last minute run out and I have like 5,000 dozens cookies to bake today!

Muppet: I buy those boxes every year the day after Christmas. They are so pretty and great for the environment. Just plop the items in with tissue paper and tape the tak to tissue paper hanging out of the box. The kids don't love that they can't rip the paper off but I love that they can nver tell what is inside the boxes...they look the same year after year!

Ofcourse thte freakin foosball table won't fit in a box and we will be up all night putting it together!!!!!
 
I still wrap them, but now I feel guilty about not being green. :p

We got Izzy a battery powered ride-in car that won't fit in a box either. I'll be putting it together tonight and just sticking a bow on it.

I'm hoping it's not too small for her. We bought it over the summer at Toys R Us. They had this little blue Mini-Cooper that was super cute and we noticed that beneath it there was a tag for a pink version, which was quite a bit cheaper. We fumed over the sexism of the "girl version" being so much cheaper, but took advantage of the discount.

Over a month later (outside the return policy) we discovered that it's not cheaper because it's pink, it's cheaper because it's half the size. D'oh.
 
Sarah is getting clothes from us this year which I think may be a first. Clothes on Christmas usually come from relatives as I've always firmly held that practical Christmas gifts suck. :D

Thing is, at 14 she's already got all the toys she wants, so clothes it is.
 
Ugh about the pink car being smaller! I am procrastinating as I type putting Xaviers (broken, TY Amazon.com) Power wheels together.
Last year I tried to do a garbage free Christmas (bought a lot of locally handmade gifts, chose recycleable packaging). I was creative in my wrapping...used those gorgeous boxes and some fabric to wrap. (I am pretty green...I compost, upcycle, recycle, buy second hand and drive a hybrid). It just wasn't the same...this year I am back to pretty foil paper and fabric ribbons again :heart: I'll reduce my carbon footprint some other way lol!
 
*Gasp!* Those poor, innocent children shouldn't be subjected to such horror!
Rule 1: Items preferably packaged in boxes. No, not a cereal box or a boot box. A gift box. (These are reuseable, my green friends ;))
#2: Choose paper carefully...all types used should complement each other. Garish prints need not be utilized.
#3: MATCHING accompaniments should be carefully chosen. This can even be done at end of year clearance for those of us that are financially savvy, to be tucked away for next year. Don't forget paper tags on a string and fabric wired ribbon for a perfect bow!
#4: Careful creasing, use the perfect amount of paper and tape...too much makes for a sloppy fold and too little makes for a messy, taped over package.
#5: Select the perfect ribbon and tag-none of those freebies from the 4H or such. If you are feeling particularly artsy you may include an ornament to add a festive air! :)
Pics to follow after Santa arrives here. ;)
 
We almost bought a hybrid, but lithium mines in China aren't especially green, and right now you need those to produce the hybrids. I'm all for a gradual conversion of our economy to accept these technologies, but I wish it wasn't all about shady tax subsidies corporate bonus checks in the end.

Oh man did I just politicize on Christmas Eve? Well, I haven't got any extended family to do it with on Christmas I guess... ;)

We're so related!
I hate wrapping in general. I took the nicest brown paper bag I could find and crinkled it up, wrapped it around my hubby's present and called it"textured wrapping paper". My dear mom one year used tinfoil!
 
Huh! I'll bet Queen Dusty wraps perfect presents. Actually my children (22 & 19) prefer cash these days - sooo much easier. I did wrap up a mug this morning (how mean is that!) - now that's a challenge.
 
"Although hybrid vehicle production is more energy-intensive and results in higher production emissions, hybrid vehicles are still the greener choice overall."
Rare earth notwithstanding, I am getting 45 mpg, consuming far less on my 60 mile round trip trek to work. If I choose to drive ultra conservatively, I can get even better gas mileage, but it is difficult to do in bigger cities where traffic is far less forgiving.
Yes, China has grabbed the market for mining because they choose to ignore safeguards put in place by every other country.
...and I will be working this Christmas, so no familial debate to be had here, either. My preschoolers aren't yet well schooled in debating. ;)
 
We get 35mpg in our Honda Fit. We almost got the Insight but my wife disliked the poor rear visibility and I disliked the lack of headroom and the stuttering acceleration.

Unfortunately it's offset by our minivan, which my wife is afraid to drive, so I end up using it as a commuter M-F. :p
 
It Christmas morning about to get up and help hubby cook. The girls are back at 11 so the presents start then.
 
It's about quarter to 4pm Christmas Eve. I put Izzy's car together and have it hidden under a sheet in our bedroom. I need to get it down the stairs without killing myself once she's asleep. I'm ready to go to bed and sleep until Christmas morning... :p
 
I am trying to fit all of this cr$# into their stockings before i go to work.

Muppet, an Odyssey was my first choice (I have been die hard Honda for years), but I just couldn't do it with my commute. I wanted to see the insight, but 1) My dealership didn't have one on the lot and wanted me to PAY to get one there to look at it. Ummm...no. I ended up driving a used one...hated it, plus Honda puts the wiring through the roof, so no sunroof option. Gotta have priorities. :)
Anyone have spare AAA batteries for my book lights for the kids?
 
Ya Angie but I'm trying to fit those into Grace's Doll house that was put together by people with the worlds smallest hands. For crying out loud does their really need to be a ceiling light? In my day the scene was painted on and we pretended!
 
I hear ya', sister. We had one with tiny pieces that begged to be vacuumed away lol!
I try to do most of the assembly ahead of time but a few things got left to the wayside this year. :)
 
Wow Angie! Great job. I wrapped one tonight and left the rest for my hubby. He does your kind of work where I prefer the messy look!
 
Who's thread is this anyway? Oops sorry Dexty. Here you just get back and we've side tracked it already.
 
See!! She has some kinda bell on her laptop that lets her know when we're talking about her!!

Thanks for watching my back Cheryl! :lol: As they say, jealousy is a curse and I can see Robbie's eyes glowing green from here. :biggrin:
 
Hmm not sure who that is - I think he just came in out the cold. There are not so many meetings these days - well you know how hard it is to find an old fashioned phone booth.
