I have noticed that we need a post just for off the topic conversations.

 

Between my dad "Majicman" and all his buddies.

I don't know who is worse about changing the topic or messing up the conversation string.

 

Well here we have it Ladies and Gent's here's the "OFF THE TOPIC ROOM!" Now who wants to start off first? I think I will!

 

I think everyone knows by now that Majicman and I (Mommy#1) are related. I'm sorry to say, but we are. And it all started off like this:

 

He says that he was out driving one day and found a very unusual rock. So he stopped to take a look and found me under it. So he picked me up and took me home cuz he wanted to give me a loving home to grow up in, and he felt sorry for me.

 

But the other funny thing is my mom tells me that she found him under the same rock and decided to take him home because she felt sorry for him.

 

I guess being married for 26 years she got use to him and she often says to him that no one else would take him.

 

I have only been married for 3 years so I don't know what it's like yet. My husband acts like a child anyway so I guess he's no different from my father.

So I had this dream last night that I was on the way to work, and stopped at a Qwik-E-Mart to get a cup of coffee. As I walked around to the front of the building, a fire truck was parked out front, and a fireman was helping an 80-something-year-old lady along the sidewalk out front. She was having trouble breathing.

 

Weird dream.

 

Then I had another dream a little later. I was on the way to work, and stopped at a Qwik-E-Mart to get a cup of cofee. As I walked around to the front of the building, a fire truck was parked out front, and a fireman was helping a 60-something-year-old lady along the sidewalk out front. She was having trouble breating. I thought to myself, ''Wow. That's weird. That's just like the dream I had last night.'' Then I went in the store.

 

I only wanted a 12 ounce cup of coffee, but I couldn't find the 12 ounce cups. I asked the guy behind the counter, and he pointed me to where the dispenser they were in.

 

They looked like 12 ounce cups, so I pulled one out of the dispenser. To my surprise, they we really tall 30 ounce cups. The dispenser was labeled with the 12 ounce price, so I got coffee in it anyway. icon_rolleyes.gif

What have you been smoking before you go to bed to make you have some wierd dreams. I would like to know what it is that your smoking and where can I get some at? Yes, Our minds play very strange games on us and make us dream of some very unusual things sometimes.

No, there wasn't a topic that's the whole idea of this room. This is a topicless room where you can talk about anything you please. That's why I made it up. Because people wanted a post where they could talk about things off topic and different. So I thought I would be the first to create one.

... Less Filing! I never know which one I should go with.

 

Of course, I've always had a hard time not eating all of the green M&M's in the bag first, even if it is a one pounder! Go figure...

 

Is that OT enough? Or should I continue to obfuscate?

Nothing, honest! I just have really disjointed strange dreams sometimes, like the time we tried to drive up an 80° slope on Interstate 5. The other cars (and big trucks) didn't have a problem, but we rolled backwards. Turns out we had a cat inside of our engine.

 

It's unusual for me to have a dream about a previous dream, though.

This doesn't sound so strange... they need to do something about the potholes around here too!

 

And,since I recently switched from a minivan to an SUV, I notice every little bump in the road.

The only thing worse than a woman who can cook but won't is a woman who can't cook but will.

 

Since we've turned into the cooking channel, I don't suppose you have an award winning seafood newburg recipe up your sleeve? A man can only eat boiled/steamed seafood so many times before it gets old.

I spent some time cleaning out the garage today and I found an unopened gallon of DEX-Cool anti-freeze formulated specifically for GM cars. And I don't even own a GM car.

 

I guess this means no more middle of the night drunken trips to Pep Boys for me.

DEX-Cool is about the worst idea GM ever came up with! Every vehicle I have seen with it has crystallization / sludging problems. I've never had that problem because real men drive Mopar.

 

However, if urine was sold (or attemped to be sold?) on ebay for drug testing reasons, and Jeff Nelson of the Mariners tried to sell bone fragments from his arm, and bid got over $20,000 before ebay stopped the auction for some reason, then I'd think DEX-Cool could make a few bucks!

I am not sure about "Award Winning" but will you settle for simply scrumptious?

 

SHRIMP NEWBURG

 

Serves 4-6

 

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, chopped

6 tablespoons flour

3 cups milk

4 tablespoons dry sherry

Salt and pepper

Tabasco sauce

1 pound shrimp, cooked

1 (4-ounce) can mushrooms

3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Melt butter; saute onion and garlic until tender.

Add flour; mix well.

Gradually add milk, stirring constantly.

Cook until sauce thickens; add sherry and seasonings to taste.

 

In a separate bowl, combine shrimp, mushrooms, eggs, and parsley.

Add sauce along with 1/4 cup cheese to shrimp mixture; mix well.

Pour mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.

Dot with butter.

Bake 10 minutes, until slightly browned on top.

I just got an email to my geocaching e-address from some 'person' trying to get me to join their noble 'cause'. It was a very long letter, with instructions on how to find the information required to join their 'cause'. They would not give precise directions, so as to avoid too much negative email responses!

 

How one finds their website is: in the email is a list of words. One goes to a search engine (I used Google) and types in two of the words in any random order, noting the top so-many search hits. They state that there are seven true combinations of words. I found their site within 10 attempts (hey, I'm a geocacher! I can't turn down a puzzle!) and it spews the same rhetoric that the email did so I know I've hit pay dirt.

 

I'm disturbed, 1) because this was sent to an email address I use solely for Geocaching, 2) the person who sent it might be a fellow geocacher, and God help me, I don't want to meet this person while hunting a cache!

 

Has anyone else received something similar with the title in the subject column of "Fakes"?

 

Just curious...

My wife had a dream the other night. I had just bought her a new horse and told her to ride it to the assembly we were having at high school. The horse ended up stepping on her toes and one of the other characters in her dream told her to just punch it - as that was the only way to get the horse to move. She hauls off and whacks it.

 

At the same time, that little paralizing agent that makes us not physically act out what's happening in our dreams shuts down on my wife. She wakes up to the muffled "UNGNGHHH!" of her husband being whapped in the stomach.

 

At least, that's the story she's telling me. icon_wink.gif

A newlywed couple is spending one of their first nights together after the honeymoon. 7AM comes around and the alarm clock goes off. The husband reaches up to hit the snooze button...

 

WHAM! the wife punches the husband right in the face and rolls away from him. Dazed and confused, the husband lays there wondering what happened last night to so anger his new bride.

 

5 minutes later the alarm goes off again...

 

WHAM, she punches him in the ear this time....

The husband laying there, not quite putting 2 and 2 together, but almost awake now...

 

Well, finally HER alarm goes off, and she rolls over, balls up a fist, and beats that annoying beeping sound back with a single blow...

 

Guys, before that first night, make note of which side of the bed she keeps her alarm clock...

2 teaspoons garlic powder

 

Combine all ingrediants in large pot.

So, I work for this tool company in customer service. I was talking to a customer in Las Vegas the other day and I made some off hand comment about Area 51 being nearby. I quickly corrected myself and said "Oh wait...I forgot...Area 51 doesn't really exixt. icon_wink.gif"

 

There was this long pause and the customer said...."Oh, yes it does." It was his tone that let me know that he wasn't just going by what he had learned by watching X-Files. So I start asking him carefully selected questions. (Big brother you know)

 

Turns out he has been there! He's got an extremely high clearence level to do some work on the base. His line of work is Commercial Refridgeration!!! icon_eek.gif

 

So I had to ask if he helped to keep the aliens frozen. There was this long pause and then he changed the subject!
