What a game yesterday! I honestly didn't think they'd pull this one out.

QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Nov 17 2010, 01:36 PM)Ughhh...I'm feeling SO BAD that Miss Coco is in her crate all alone...for 5 hours now. I feel awful. I tried crating my German Shepherd when he was a puppy, but he cried and cried and cried for so long, I just gave up on it. What a friggin baby he was! He still is! I couldn't sleep at all with the relentless crying. Anyway, we finally wound up letting him stay in our room at night. He didn't cry at all during the night, and with the house training we did during the day to get him to use the yard for his business, it only took a couple of weeks before he figured it out. We put down plenty of paper in our room so that cleanup wasn't too bad. Yeah, it's work and you'll be sleep deprived for a few days if you go that route. As for during the day, we put up gates (the ones you use to keep babies from entering certain rooms) to keep him in a room with hardwood floors. That way, he wouldn't mess up the carpeting. If you have any relatives or close friends nearby, maybe they'd be willing to let him out once in a while. So much fun, eh? But, I'll tell you. I absolutely love my dog. He sits by me when I'm hanging out in the yard, he sleeps next to me when I'm watching TV. I play hide and seek with him all the time. He's like one of my children. I wouldn't trade him for anything.

QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Nov 17 2010, 10:34 AM) We got a puppy, completely out of the blue, yesterday. Right now I'm in that "we are crazy for doing this" stage, but Kerry is on top of the world. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1141.snc4/148360_457127659471_652604471_5511870_2506986_n.jpg Kerry and Coco We haven't had a pet in over 10 years, so...fingers crossed that we can make this work. Sooo cute! I love animals. Dogs are great. What kind of dog is it? I have a German Shepherd who sheds like crazy. He's also a big bag o' wind and regularly stinks up the house, but we still love him. He's a bit of an expense but just like having another kid, you find a way to make it work. The kids love pets, and Kerry will have a blast. Good luck!

Mine are...and not necessarily in this order... Airplane! - "shiiiiiit [golly]" Caddyshack - "Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!" Monty Python and the Holy Grail - "It's just a flesh wound!" Animal House - "May I have ten thousand marbles, please?" Smokey and the Bandit - Sherriff Buford T. Justice: [to his son] There's no way, NO way that you came from MY loins. Soon as I get home, first thing I'm gonna do is punch yo mamma in da mouth! Jackie Gleason was hilarious as Sherriff Buford T. Justice in Smokey and the Bandit

Boy, is it ever tough being an Islanders fan these days. After getting off to a great start, the wheels completely came off the bus. I think they stuck with DiPietro too long, and should have had him stay in the minors for a few months before "trying him out" on the NHL level. Should have kept Biron to start the season while DiPietro worked on his game in the minors. It's gonna be tough to turn this team around now. They can't seem to score goals lately.

Wow....great game. Could have gone either way.

2 missed field goals proving to be costly for the Jets.

Both teams have been moving the ball pretty well. So far the game has lived up to my expectations. Good physical game. Both teams have been taking some bad penalties. Jets 17 - Browns 13 at halftime. So far, I'm pretty much on target with my prediction. Let's see how the second half unfolds.

I thought you were weird before your admission to liking ABBA j/k

QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Nov 10 2010, 10:09 AM) I've really been feeling things changing at my house. My oldest will be 13 in 3 months, and he is (appropriately) becoming more independent and relating to me differently. I won't lie. It's hard. I posted on FB this morning that I'm struggling to adjust...going from a little boy's mama to a teenager's mom. 2004/2010 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/RushBabe/Kerry/Kerry_6-26-04-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/RushBabe/Kerry/Kman.jpg <sigh> Wow...it's amazing how quickly they grow up, eh? He is a handsome young man. I know the feeling. My kids are 14 and 16. My older one got his driver's permit over the summer, and wants to drive everywhere now. I'm sure it's different for a mom though.

When you've spent as much money as some of us have on a particular team, I would think that we have the right to say "we". I'm a diehard New York Islanders hockey fan. I've been spending money on that team since the late 70's. I was a season ticket holder during the 80's. Even after moving 100 miles away back in 1992, I still kept a weekend ticket plan for years. Sorry Mara, but I'm going to keep saying "we" when I speak about my team.

The Jets haven't been playing great football these last couple of weeks. So, it should be an interesting game to watch. I'm sure the Browns will be up for this game. The Jets are certainly not invincible by any stretch of the imagination. As for Edwards' comments and off the field behavior, he's not alone. The NFL is littered with knuckleheads. I think it will be a close game. If the Jets can avoid taking stupid penalties and hang onto the football for a change, they'll be tough to beat. My prediction - Jets 30 - Browns 21 Go Jets!!

I love my mother's stuffing recipe. It has breadcrumbs, ground pork sausage, celery, apples, etc.... It's the only stuffing I really like. It's not smushy at all if it's made properly.

I met Sparky Anderson at Shea Stadium before game 1 of the World Series in 1986. My father and I were up in the old Diamond Club before the game, and a bunch of managers walked past us on their way into a private gathering. I saw about 10 managers....Tony LaRussa, Sparky, Tommy Lasorda, Roger Craig, Jim Leyland stand out in my mind. Only Sparky and Tommy Lasorda walked around and shook everyone's hands as they walked into the party. Sparky asked if we were Mets fans, which we were, and if we were excited about the game (of course we were). He just seemed like he geniunely cared about us as fans of the game. That memory will always stand out when I remember going to that game. Baseball has lost a legend and great man. Rest in peace Sparky.

Shut up, Richard!

This is a great show. I'm not exactly a history buff, but I love to hear the stories and the analysis from the experts that they bring in. I always learn something just about every show. Chumlee is hilarious. He should get his own show someday!

I just ordered "Recordings" yesterday. Any thoughts? Did I make a wise purchase? I also ordered the RCMH / RAH poster. I wanted to buy it at the RCMH show, but didn't want to carry a big tube around. I'm glad they made it available for purchase online.

QUOTE (PolarizeMe @ Oct 27 2010, 07:31 PM) Finished watching the documentary but like you said, I'm not going to spoil it! Speaking of tour merchandises on Burning Shed, just for curiosity, was the light grey Recordings shirt sold at the Radio City show or the dark grey one? Cause based on my memory, it looked like it was the light grey one, but I'm still uncertain. Regardless, I personally like the light grey one better than the dark one, but that's just me. I recall seeing the light gray one.

Islanders are on a bit of a roll. Isles 3 - Lightning 2 in OT. Can wait until they get Okposo and Streit back. Should be a fun year.

I know we're only a few games into the season, but who would have thought the Islanders would get off to the start they've gotten off to? The games they lost were to teams at the top of their divisions. Go Isles!

QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Oct 19 2010, 01:12 PM) My oldest boy...finished a great season of football, made first chair percussion in band, and made all A's on his first 7th grade report card. Awesome! Way to go Kerry!

Yeah, it's been all over the news here in NJ. What a shame. It almost makes you wonder if playing sports is worth the risk. It's not just football. Even baseball carries a risk. There was a kid in New Jersey a few years back who got hit in the chest with a line drive. It stopped his heart, and left him disabled. He survived, but he'll never be the same. Hockey too. Look up the story about Travis Roy. He was a promising hockey player who could have been an NHL star. His life changed forever when he landed on the ice at an awkward angle, damaging his spine....leaving him paralyzed. It's rough to see this as a parent. What do you do? I'm not sure I have the answers. I guess one could say that anything you do in life carries a risk. So, playing sports is just one of those things. But, how much more risk is involved in playing sports? My kids play baseball and hockey, so I know the feeling of watching your kids and grimacing when they're involved in a collision of some sort. I've chosen to let them play and hope for the best. I don't want to sacrifice the potential upside to playing sports over the potential downside. It feel that the potential good outweighs the potential bad.

After a pretty rough week, Friday couldn't have gotten here soon enough... I need one of these Ok...maybe more than one
