Weekend Rants 'n' Raves 5-13-2004
Since OliveOyl asked, and since we're so close to the weekend, why not start them a day early?
RAVE: Gorgeous Southern California weather continues through the weekend (of course)! RANT: Stuck in my office till 5 today. RANT: Car's in the shop to fix scratches on the hood. RAVE: Car's done tomorrow, and I have to leave work early to get it! RAVE: Sis' latest tests show NO NEW CANCER, and the growths they've been watching aren't going anywhere! They may not even be cancerous! RANT: She'll have surgery to remove them in any case week after Memorial Day. RAVE: She takes family to DisneyWorld Memorial Day Weekend, and she's looking forward to the surgery. Could be that this will FINALLY be behind her! RAVE: Does anything else matter? This looks like good news! Finally!!! |
((F))((F))((F))((F))((F))
CONGRATULAIONS TO YOU & YOUR SISTER!!! Nothing else is as good as that:D My own small rave: Weather is good & house is finally finished. Less time on Fodors coming up~ no rants: nothing in my life equals the sadness in others, I cannot complain. |
rant/rave--our daughter becomes a teenager this weekend! yikes!
|
mms: Come on in, the water's fine! LOL ***kim***
|
Scarlett: You're so sweet! Thanks for the good thoughts!
Thought of something else: RANT: People are still making new posts whose titles DON'T INDICATE WHERE THEY'RE GOING. And then THEY RE-POST WITH ESSENTIALLY THE SAME LAME TITLE. C'mon, throw us all a bone: PUT THE CITY AND STATE (in cases of ambiguity) IN THE TITLE. 'K? ;) |
RJ...that's fabulous news! Tell her she's got a whole boatload of people pulling for her. Let us know how the surgery goes. She goes to Dana Farber or is it Sloan-Kettering? If you've got to be sick, that's the place to do it...or MD Anderson. Can't get much better than any of those. High five to you and your sis!!
Rant: Ditto RJ's rant re posts with titles such as "hotel?" Yikes. lol And also, all the recent questions on Europe on the US board. Rant: Knee jerk market reactions. Oooh interest rates are rising, sell sell. What happened to "the economy is healthy, buy, buy? Rave: Blue skies and gentle breezes, Business is good and so is <i>life</i>. Rave: Headed to Dallas for a long weekend with son and d-i-l next week. We have a whole new outlook on time with family!! Good stuff can come from the bad. |
Best wishes to your sis, RJW!
Rave #1: I turned 36 this week and I do not look any older! Rave #2: It is a beautiful day and I am leaving work early. Rant #1: I have a mountain of paperwork to do tonight. Bummer. Rant #2: How about LaToya leaving American Idol last night? |
Yay for starting a day early!
Rave: Weather is finally hot & sunny in NJ. Rant: I came home and my central air is leaking, and water is all over my kitchen floor. Rave: We leave for two weeks in St. John on Tuesday! Rant: I don't know who's voting on American Idol this season either, but they must be tone deaf or something! Happy weekend everyone! :) |
rave** I reach the one gallon mark as a blood donor tomorrow.
rant-- It's such a simple procedure and takes so little time, I should have started long ago. |
Rave: We have been in the Florida Keys since Saturday! Rant: It has been TOO WINDY to fish or dive! Rave: Found a great new restaurant on Cudjoe Key called "The Square Grouper Bar & Grill" |
I am somewhat of a purist for Freaky Friday, and I look forward all week, esp. on thurs., restraining myself to wait until Friday morning to hurry up and post. So I had mixed feelings when I saw the title here. BUT when I saw rjw's post on his sister, Iwas glad he started early this week. I needed that great news! But can we call the post something different, a little more flair instead of Weekend Rants and Raves? Have to think about that one.
I hate to RANT after the good news, but I could not be more bummed about the Iraq mess. One good thing is it has focused me more on the war and how I feel and think about it and foreign policy, and I am talking to my kids more about it- they are bringing it up now. It is bringing up so many feelings, almost like post 9/11 feelings of sadness and anger. Rave: I convinced my (penny pinching) husband to spend 10 days in Florida over Christmas time and I have a house rented. Rave: I am in process of booking my trip to Japan for next March w/my 13 yr old son. Rant: But I did a stupid dumb thing and forgot to call the day the Frequent Flyer seats were releaased and now the situation is all hosed up and is taking hours and hours to unravel the possibilities (do I pay for tickets and hope I get the upgrades w/miles, do I pay for one ticket and use 90K miles for a coach ticket for the other one, blah blah blah). Rave: but the people on the Asia forum here (esp. mr.wunrfl) are really helping me unravel the big mess I created by not calling at the right time! DON'T EVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE! |
highbay, did you try some square grouper in Cudjoe Key?
|
Rant: I just don't understand how it is still an even Presidential race when the war we wrongly started is going so horribly. Please, please, get out there and vote people. I try to refrain from discussion this touchy subject but can't understand how people can sit idly by when so many are being killed for no good reason.
Rave, it's the weekend, and hubby and I are finally off to our long awaited cruise of Alaska. :) :) :) Happy travels all |
Well,since you started it Wifey. Security along with our safety,protecting freedom and our way of life,along with stopping terrorists thugs are iportant to quite a few people. obviously not you. john Kerry is a joke and I agree,it should not be an even race. Bush is fighting so you and "Hubby" can take your Alaskan cruise and not worry about being blown up. Wake up! |
TO TG:
Imagine that...it wasn't on the menu! |
Rant: My youngest child (err...woman!) graduates from High School today.
Rave: You guessed it: My youngest graduates from High School today. Talk about mixed emotions! Gojacks: well said, I agree with you. |
Gojacks, another thank you:) My dh just retired a few months ago after 20 years of military service so this hits deep with our family.
rjw--So happy for your sister! |
Rant: Lost $200 last weekend at Mohegan Sun, & had to share a room with my BF AND his grouchy friend. We felt like we couldn't be ourselves.
Rave: Despite the rain, spring is finally here in NYC! Rant: I'll be 30 in 3 weeks. Not looking forward to it!! Rave: RJW's sister being cancer free!! Let her know she is not alone. (This reminds me, I gotta get checked for skin cancer) Rant: We are out of space in my office yet we hired 2 more people! We are supposed to rearrange the office accordingly, but this is a few months away at the very least! Rant: One idiot at my job decided to download that clip of Nick Berg getting decapitated by those animals to show the office. Not what I needed to see, so I walked away. Rant: BF's atm card got eaten by my bank & they're giving him a hard time about getting it back. Ouch, I have more rants than normal this week! OK let me get a few raves out at least!! Rave: We're starting to plan our San Diego/Vegas trip. Still deciding on a 3rd city, but can't figure what. Rave: It's Friday and I finally get to finish my spring cleaning! Rave: I'll be able to make some money on Ebay after my spring cleaning! |
Rave: My daughter (and travel companion) graduates from High School this month
Rant: My daughter is growing up too fast! Rave: My oldest is in Iraq fighting for American freedom and he wants everyone to know he has not seen anything but good since he has been there. He is lucky enough to be working with Iraqi's that appreciate the assistance and relish the new freedom and other soldiers who appreciate their freedom and relish the opportunity to insure freedom for others! My husband is retired from the Army as was his Dad. My son is the 3rd generation of freedom fighters! Rant: My son is in Iraq Rave: We are lucky to live in a great town with traditional values and a strong community spirit. Rant: Yesterday my daughter's teacher showed the entire execution of the American in Iraq. She is totally traumatized... Rave:There is a great airshow at the Joint Reserve Base in Ft Worth this weekend. It's free, too! And the weather is going to be beautiful! |
travlin wifey, well said.
