The "Whatever Thread"

[Tempete8]

I can't wait to get ALOT Of candy.

[shakiba]

Have to take my younger sister for trick-or-treat, which I'm glad, since it makes up an excuse to go get some free candy. The best part of halloween. Candy!! Hopefully, it doesn't rain though. I hate how the whole week is nice and warm, but when it's halloween, it gets freezking cold and rainy. Or.. some random hurricane comes by.

Darn hurricanes, always coming by and wrecking trick or treating.

[pinkster73]

I found my Halloween candy. Turns out my son moved it to hide it from my daughter. So it really wasnt where i put it, im not losing my mind.

Im excited to see the super cute little kids all dressed up and confused.

Lesson of the day: febreeze does NOT **** spiders.

[kattybell]

I had an wasp in my bathroom, ****ed it with hairspray... and yes the cats are scary :o

Oooooh hairspray! Didn't think of that.

[greygull]

Oooooh hairspray! Didn't think of that.

Hint for pinkster - if you would eat/drink it, or it smells pretty, don't try to **** things with it :)

Bleach sprays **** just about everything. Lemon grass oil ****s ants on contact, because bleach only slows them down for a bit. Mice hate mint, you can try growing some around the areas they might get in your house. Peroxide or vinegar mixed with water (1 to 8 I think) helps keep flies away from outside picnics.

Also, if you go to a home improvement type store, maybe check for something that uses natural ingredients - they typically don't smell as bad.

Well, maybe not febreeze, but not like death in a spray can at least (plus, they won't poison you at the same time)

[retro71]

Tobacco products that have been soaked in water are awesome pesticides. Tobacco tea, if you will. Once the mixture hits the bug the paralysis starts.

I've steeped a good solid blend of both cigarette leftovers or chewing tobacco and carefully poured the mix over an ant colony displacement in the crack of the sidewalk after a rain. It's almost instananeous, if your mix is potent enough.

You should consult your local tobacco-using farm expert for the details. ;-)

[howdy2you]

So all those butts are good do something. Pinkster can add some fabreeze to give it that fresh smell.

But i dont want paralysis, i want death. Preferably smashed. The febreeze thing was for a spider in a crevice.

Disclaimer: i only **** spiders. All other bugs are scooped up and returned to the great outside.

[pinkster73]

My niece who is special needs said to me yesterday 'Aunty pinkster (except she used my name), I wish you would die.' She sometimes says some strange things so i just said 'oh ok. Lets go to the bus now.' Then i found out last night from my sister that my niece had learned about heaven yesterday and how it's a great place and all that. So my niece was actually complimenting me. Cute.

Awww Bless her! :-)

Omg I hate it when that happens. You see people checking their cell phones on facebook every five minutes, but what is the point if you dont even say anything when someone posts something!

[sourlicorice5]

I know. I'm beginning to wonder what the point of Facebook is if you're not going to reply to posts. I guess I should be used to it. When I do occasionally get replies it's just a few. Not that friends should reply to every single thing that friends post but an announcement that my sister had a baby girl and is a mother now and I'm an aunt. I thought I would have definitely got replies to that. Instead my friends are replying to posts about funny pictures their other friends have posted, links to articles about shoppers drug mart turning off their Xmas music cause people complained it was too early (which it is). Guess I'm just disappointed in my friends back home right now.

Thanks tempete, you're sweet and I appreciate it :-)

I liked it cause it was an easy way to share my pictures/messages as sending them through hotmail was just so slow. Plus I on Facebook I don't have to click on all the addresses. If my friends what to look at them than they can. But now I'm thinking why bother. I may close my Facebook down or just might not check into it very often.

People on here, who don't even know me personally are very caring at least. Hugs to everyone ;-)

I still haven't had any replies on Facebook. Now I'm trying to think of a real sarcastic response that will grab there attention lol. They have been on as I've seen posts they have posted or replied to from other friends. Maybe it's just me making a mountain out of a mole hill. I just thought my friends back home would have replied. I was so excited to share the news and now I'm just dissappointed in them.

Nothing wrong with family and friends wanting to know. Not everyone can see your Facebook page if you set it to the right setting. Only my friends and family who are friends with me on it can see my page as I have it set that way. Someone who is friends with me on it would just get my profile picture and name. They wouldn't see anything else.

You can always request her to take it down. My cousins wife asked me to remove a picture of her she didn't like before. I wasn't offended though I thought the picture was nice myself lol. Course she wasn't balancing a beer bottle on her head lol. She just didn't like the angle of the picture. I think it was just a vanity thing on her part lol. But yeah I can understand not wanting certain pictures posted. I don't think I'd want one of me like that posted on Facebook either.

[greygull]

My mom posted a pic of me, hubby, and the kids, as her profile pic. She sent me an invite to join Facebook, which I happen to see right away. I don't think she liked the phone call she got - I started yelling at her. She thought it was a nice picture (it was), but profile pics may be seen by more people then just friends and family I believe. It was her first time "social networking", her cousins husband had invited her just a couple of days before. So I had to explain the rules of networking - including not to post MY pics as her profile pic. She hasn't done it since ;)

Why Pinkster, you are right to be offended, THAT belongs on YouTube with some rock music playing in the background.

My niece put a pic of me when I was 14 on Facebook, knowing I'd be appalled by my mass of curls and hockey jersey (tomboy phase) being seen by the masses. I just get lololololololol's when I ask her to take it down.

[sterlingempire]

Facebook declined my 5 appeals to change my name to my name from pinkster because i have to use my REAL name. Say what? They wanted me to send them a copy of my marriage certificate. Ya ok.

That happened to me on Google+. I am from India, so my name is different than the American names (not entirely, I know Americans with my name). Google told me they didn't like my name so they banned me. They asked me to show my marriage certificate (im a teenager...) and my passport (ya right). Not happening Google, your lame social networking site isn't worth all the trouble.

[sterlingempire]

I bet it's just another attempt at Google trying to suck up my info. As it is, they can read all of my emails, my searches, my youtube videos, what I translate, my browsing history, my school documents (since I use Google Drive), where I live, where my friends live, where I am going, who I talk to, etc. so now they want to know who I am married to so they can show me ads of online dating sites and singles cruises. I doubt they want to know all of this JUST for advertisements.

Another huge invasion of privacy is Google Earth. While it is really cool, it can show people where you live and if you are outside, it will show a picture of you, the clothes you where, what you are doing outside. The thing is if you want your house/you/your family removed, you have to reach out to them and tell them. It should really be the other way around - they should ask for your permission instead of first going ahead and launching a satellite into space and then making everyone line up to remove their stuff. Just because they are rich doesn't give them the right to develop technology that invades our privacy. What if someone doesn't own a computer but their family is outside on Google Earth? What if their "state-of-the-art" license plate blurring program fails and you can't afford stamps? Well sucks for you! Google doesn't care, they are already rich!

That is just too cruel!

I actually did something like that to my mother when I was younger. It was when stores like Shaw's, Stop & Shop and etc started coming out with their own brands but really they were just NAME BRANDS replaced with the store brand name but cheaper. She always insisted on only buying a certain brand name bread, even though Shaw's brand WAS that name brand bread. So, I purchased the Shaw's bread, replaced the bread in her brand name package with the Shaw's one, and she never noticed the difference. I let her eat the whole loaf before I told her. She didn't believe me at all that I had changed them, until my Dad agreed and said he watched me do it and was laughing the whole time.

Now that she's older and my father is retired, she has no problem buying those store brand items. Go figure. :rolleyes:

I buy the cheaper store brand of some things like paper towels, breads, juice, pop. But some things HAVE to be the name brand. Purex toilet paper, Heinz ketchup. Most stuff i dont care, but some i do.

Myself I like Scott extra soft, and I agree some things must be name brand (and I get 10% off the store brand) although there are a few items where the store brand is better imo. The company I work for owns lots of It's own manufacturing plants and the stuff from those tends to be better than the national brand. In the USA we do have purex laundry soap but it gives me a rash, I use seventh generation because most scented stuff makes me itchy and my well water doesn't agree with unscented.

Here is my "whatever" for the day.

I'm tired and cranky. I couldn't sleep last night. Went to bed around 12-1230a and woke up around 1:30a. Went back to sleep and then woke up around 230a. I tried to fall back to sleep but it wasn't working, so came downstairs and fooled around in Clue on my computer. Then I went and showered, woke up my 12 yr old, made coffee, woke up the hubby, watched them both leave for school and RI, then woke up the 10 yr old, then had peace. I still can't fall back asleep though, even though I'm tired and cranky.

Not to mention my 10 yr old wanted to wear shorts today, when it feels like 20F outside and we are due for snow to start falling around 3p. Arguing these points with him gave me a head-ache to go on top of my tired and cranky body.

I just want to sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Most of the 'off-brand' stuff you get at Aldi's is pretty good, especially their produce.

Pop is the one thing I have to have a name brand, even if it is Faygo.

I actually like the store name pop. It tends to taste less sweet then real sprite or gingerale.

Here is my "whatever" for the day.

I'm tired and cranky. I couldn't sleep last night. Went to bed around 12-1230a and woke up around 1:30a. Went back to sleep and then woke up around 230a. I tried to fall back to sleep but it wasn't working, so came downstairs and fooled around in Clue on my computer. Then I went and showered, woke up my 12 yr old, made coffee, woke up the hubby, watched them both leave for school and RI, then woke up the 10 yr old, then had peace. I still can't fall back asleep though, even though I'm tired and cranky.

My kids are at the age now where they are too cool to wear winter jackets and hats etc. Ive given up. I supply them with all the proper winterwear and if they choose to freeze then so be it. Soon you can do that. Age ten i still forced them, age 14 freeze.

I actually did that with my 12 yr old this AM. I told him to bring his gloves and winter hat as it was really cold this AM and would be on the bus ride home. He just blew me off, put on his baseball hat, and walked out the door rolling his eyes at me. The hubby just laughed and followed him out to warm up his truck. :rolleyes:

The hubby wasn't much better. Moron left this AM without a jacket and he's SUPPOSED to be driving back from RI tonight. Yeah, let us see how funny he thinks it is when he's driving home in freezing rain/heavy wet snow and gets stuck in traffic, or gosh forbid an accident, and has nothing warm on. It's a 2 1/2 hour ride home and the whole way is supposed to be horrible weather wise compared to the time he'll be leaving. He'll be lucky to make it half-way home (my parents house) before he pulls over and just spends the night there instead. :rolleyes:

Here's what my helpless hubby did last time he left. (gone for a month this time). He texted me and said "i think you forgot a bunch of my clothes when you packed my suitcase this time". EXCUSE ME? Im supposed to pack? Its not enough i do all his laundry when he comes home? So what happened is i did all his laundry, folded it, and put it in the dresser. Then i folded whatever clothes were left in the suitcase so it looked nice. Then when he left he zipped up his suitcase and left with a weeks worth of clothes and is gone for a month. Not MY fault.

The apple never falls far from the tree. My sons said " I did brush my teeth, you didn't say I had to use tooth paste." my husband says" Kaaaath.... Where are my boots?" I hid them ha ha. He thought they went into the closit by magic.

The hubby is ALWAYS losing his belts. He has 3 of them because he lost one and went and bought another one, then he lost that one and bought another one, then he found the other two. He still loses them, and complains to me that he can't find his belts. There is a hook for his belts in the downstairs bathroom (combo laundry room) and on the inside door on his side of the closet, but he NEVER uses them.

I keep telling him that by the time I get his pants to wash the belt is no longer on them so how the heck am I supposed to know where he left it this time? Oh, and this happens at least 3 times a week. :rolleyes:

[sourlicorice5]

It's official, my 12 yr old has no taste buds. He's making himself a Bologna and KETCHUP sandwich. NASTY! Nothing but MUSTARD belongs with Bologna. UGH!

I used to make those all the time when I was a kid. Haven't had me in years though. Don't knock it till you try it lol :p

[sourlicorice5]

OMG, he said the SAME thing to me and my 10 yr old. "How can you say it's gross if you've never tried it, hmmmmm?" I told him just the thought of it makes me want to barf, nevermind actually TRYING it. LMAO!!!!

And it's also so slow now you can hit Load, then go have a shower while you wait.

[RealFarmer1222]

Yeah...I don't like the beta either.

I think there is an option for the 'classic' mode.

[pinkster73]

Are you guys using photobucket mobile? What are you talking about? Beta? Classic?

[queentina3]

I'm using it on the 'puter pinkster, I don't like using it on my iPad. It's easier to upload via itunes to my 'puter then upload to photobucket and do any cropping/editing I need from there.

[kooky panda]

I know Queen, Last night I jumped on photo bucket to upload some proof of something:p
and I hit all the changes.
That is what took me so long.

[queentina3]

*shivers*

If it stays like that I WON'T be copying any pics to put on the forum for weekly updates/goals/etc..........It took me quite awhile just to get that contest pic uploaded, moved to the correct folder for TL stuff, then attempting to find where they put the stupid IMG code. :rolleyes:

Offer your kids money to do it. The only draw back is then they think you got to pay them for picking up ther pants.

Ha ha last time i did laundry i picked up all the clothes on my sons floor, laundered them, then crumpled them back up and threw them on his floor. When he asked what was going on i said "oh i thought you liked your clothes there".

Great idea pinkster, I may just try that with my 12 yr old. It won't work with my 10 yr old as he wouldn't care, he'd just leave the clean ones all rumpled up and on the floor. :(

Clean clothes on the floor doesn't work at my house. As soon as it hits the floor it becomes a cat bed. So if you dont like wearing a cat bed to the mall, it gets picked up.

I start my slave job today, but I have such a massive headache I'm not sure I want to go in at all. Scholastic Book Fair time again and I'll be at my 4th graders school most of the day today setting up. They haven't given me my schedule for next week yet, but I did request mornings only as I have to be back here for my 7th graders bus and I REALLY don't want to spend all week/full days with a bunch of screaming k-4th graders next week. At least I have Monday free with it being Veteran's Day and no school.

Ohhhh............Tomorrow is my 14th Wedding Anniversary and Sunday is Hubby's b-day. He doesn't like to talk about that though, he's grumpy in his OLD age. tee hee

My hubby is coming home for a day and a half before he leaves again. Probably ran out of clean clothes.

[shakiba]

You know, I'm wondering why all the woman/moms out there says "hubby" but mine. I asked my mom, "Why won't you call dad 'hubby'?" and she responded "What's a hubby?" I said "HUSBAND!" and then she stares at me like I just made that up and I'm crazy.

Husband just seems so formal. And spouse sounds like some kind of rodent.

[queentina3]

I only do it when I'm typing it on the forum. I don't say it. If I was talking to one of my kids, I would say "your dad", anyone else I just use my hubby's name. :p

[queentina3]

Yeah, and considering we are the Queen's of our houses, we wouldn't dare say "the man of the house". :p

[shakiba]

Lol, you guys. Makes sense, because I never heard somebody say "hubby" out loud. And spouse pinkster, lol agreed, does sound like a rodent.

[greygull]

The other option is DH (dear husband), but that's one letter away from duh ;)

Yes, hubby is a typed word only for me as well.



We ARE the men of the house.

Absolutely lol. Also the glue that keeps the house together :)

[queentina3]

Well with the way our menfolk act sometimes, it IS appropriate to call them spouse (aka rodents). :p

Take my hubby for example. Today is our 14th wedding anniversary and where is he? Work. Last night he didn't get home until 115a, today he went in 1/2 hour after he woke up (830a) and isn't due back until late tonight. Tomorrow he's supposedly working again (on his b-day) and most of next week he travels to RI daily for work (3 1/2 hour drive RT).

So yeah, right now it IS appropriate for my hubby to be called a RODENT. :p

He might not be a rodent yet. He could be stopping at a jewellery store somewhere in there.

[queentina3]

He might not be a rodent yet. He could be stopping at a jewellery store somewhere in there.

No he's not, he doesn't buy me jewelry, EVER. I don't really wear jewelry, just my engagement/wedding rings and I interchange between just 2 necklaces. I don't wear earrings anymore, or watches/bracelets, or any other rings. :p

I may get flowers, but doubtful considering most of the stores will be closed by the time he gets out of work. I did get a kiss good-bye and a Happy Anniversary along with the coffee being made, so that's something.

[pinkster73]

Coffee and a kiss? Tsk tsk

[howdy2you]

I buy the jewelry and tell him that he bought it for me. This is helpful at Christmas and birthdays also.

And a new microwave that he is out purchasing right now. The door button on our microwave has been sticking like crazy and yesterday my 10 yr old stuck it so bad I couldn't get it unstuck. No matter what I tried, the darn button wouldn't release so the door couldn't close so the microwave won't work. Grrrr

So now he's out at Best Buy getting me a new microwave and my 10 yr old a new set of headphones for his computer, as he's using mine because our cats chewed through the wire on his. Then he's going to either work from home or go into work. *sighs*

LOL!! Red and not Pink? :p

I'm going to buy him a new coffee pot for xmas, as ours is driving us crazy. This must be the 3rd or 4th one we're on in the past few years, I guess we make too much coffee. The one we have, and keep purchasing over and over and over again, is a Cuisinart 12 cup maker that also grinds, but since we've stopped buying our coffee in beans, the grind is useless at this point. So.....Now I'm going to be hunting for another 12 cup maker that I like and hope he does as well, that isn't too expensive. I've been saving my kitchen fund for a new stove, but it looks like that will be awhile with all these little things breaking down bit by bit. Grrrr

Red appliances are a lot easier to find then pink. I also have a red toaster.

I have yet to find a coffee maker that lasts more then a year. Expensive, cheap, doesnt seem to make a difference.

[howdy2you]

I get the cheap pot. I finally got my fine new dishwasher and it takes 2hours to wash a load. I want my ugly dishwasher back.

No it's energy efficient. That would take too much energy. Everyone can look in the dishwasher if they need a clean cup (only after its done though) hope nobody gets thirsty.

Yeah, but doesn't that only do 1 cup at a time? Does it do 12 cups at once, like a normal coffee pot? The cups we use are a bit bigger than normal coffee cups, so a 12 cup machine usually gives us each 2 cups of coffee, or 3 for me and 1 for him. :p

You can get the one that you can different sizes of cups.
I am getting one for my mom, because mom likes coffee and Dad likes tea. So they can have both. I use a 16 oz mug. I set to the biggest size.

Congrads on your post count!!!

Thanks, but only half are probably read-worthy. LOL

I think I may go for a "Mr. Coffee Thermal Coffee Maker - 10 cup" or "Hamilton Beach Black 2-Way Brewer"

I'm still searching though, and have to see what goes on sale over the next few weeks as well. :)

Isn't that black Friday where all the crazy Americans knock over old ladies to get to the deals first? :p

*snorts* Yeah right, it's the old ladies knocking every down and stepping on you at the same time. They're brutal. It's like a Bingo Night for them. You think they're nice and sweet until Bingo Night or Black Friday rolls around, then WATCH OUT, they'll get ya!

With the way our weather has been, I'm shocked there are any leaves anywhere. Last week, Tuesday was over 80 degrees. Friday, driving home from picking up the kids, I was driving in sleet! High was supposed to be 58 that day, never reached 50. (for others - first one is 26-27C, second is 14.4C, third is 10C :))

OMG, if I make it through the day without ****ing my 10 yr old it will be a miracle. This child......................Grrrrrr

So I made the boys pancakes this AM since they don't have school, and I yelled up to my 10 yr old 5 minutes ago that his were ready. He just came downstairs and asked when they would be ready! I told him I yelled up to him 5 MINUTES AGO, that they were on the plate with the butter/syrup right next to it, and to not get his panties in a twist.

He did a snobbish sniff, rolled his eyes, and shook his head while saying "I don't wear panties, I wear boxers" He then took his plate and flounced back up the stairs.

MURDER, I'm telling you, MURDER............................................ ......

You better do it quick. My 19 year old son informed me that he's never moving out because he likes the food. Omg his brothers are already fighting over who gets his room and it smells like dirty socks.

Howdy: stop cooking

[queentina3]

Conversation I just walked in on my boys having in the kitchen:

12 yr old: Just hush, she'll never know if you don't go telling her. (whispering harshly)
10 yr old: Fine, but if she tries to blame me I WILL RAT YOU OUT! (states vehemently)
12 yr old: Whatever.........Just go away and leave me alone. (angry and annoyed)
10 yr old: But you said you'd make me a sandwich too. (whines)
12 yr old: Only if you weren't going to be a brat, but you are, so I'm not. (stated with satisfaction)
10 yr old: Oh really.............(evil look on face) HEY M (12 yr old covers his mouth)

Me: What is going on in here? (with narrowed eyes since I heard the conversation from the hallway)
12 yr old: (removes hand from mouth, tries to look innocent, and moves his plate behind his back on the counter) Nothing!
10 yr old: snorts
12 yr old: (glares at 10 yr old) I was just telling him that I wasn't going to make him a sandwich because he's BEING A BRAT! (yells the last bit at my 10 yr old)
10 yr old: HE (points to 12 yr old) TOOK HALF YOUR CAN OF PRINGLES SOUR CREAM & ONION CHIPS! (yells with truimph)

ME: ENOUGH! (glares at them both and points to the other room: watches them run out of the kitchen, then I giggle)

I can't wait until they go back to school tomorrow and I'm praying the hubby doesn't get home too late from RI today, otherwise he may not have 2 sons left to come home to. :rolleyes:

But did you get back the pringles?

[queentina3]

But did you get back the pringles?

Nah, I let him have them but told him he should've taken the hubby's Salt & Vinegar instead (Nasty those are IMO, but he and the hubby love them). They KNOW not to touch my Sour Cream & Onion, but he really wanted them so I caved and let him have them. I hid the other can and ate the rest of the one he had taken them from, so he won't be getting anymore.

I then made the 10 yr old a sandwich to shut him up. It isn't like he couldn't make it himself, he's just being a whiny brat about EVERYTHING today. He holds grudges and he's still angry with me over asking him to wait 2 MINUTES last night while I was doing something in Castle Story so this is how he's getting me back. :rolleyes:

My parents are 77 years old. They have both had some medical problems where they needed surgery.
Before Medicare will pay for the surgeries they both had to go to doctors to get approval.
The main doctor, their heart doctors, then the surgeons. of course this takes weeks to make all the appointments and get over there then wait for reports to be submitted. So Here are two people that are hurting and need surgery but they have to jump through hoops running back and forth before they can get the relieve they need.

WHATS UP WITH THAT???? IT IS RIDICULOUS!!!

That is horrible! Even though i pay through the bum in taxes, living in canada has its perks when you hear these unfortunate stories :( but then i also see the health system being abused because health care is free!

Ya like the people in the hospital ER because they've been puking or something. I've seen a lot of abuses or people who just don't understand when I worked in the hospital. A lot of those things can be handled at a clinic. I have a regular doctor for non emergent stuff, a clinic for when my vacuum throws me down the stairs and i need stitches, and a hospital for those really big uh oh moments.

Lol no. I'm african American and Puerto rican I dont even speak spanish or anything like that just english.

Ok, now if this was your hubby, would you smack him?

Hubby and 12 yr old are having a conversation regarding a game they play against/with each other on their computers. Something is happening at midnight tonight in the game that the hubby plans to stay up for, AND, wants my 12 yr old to stay up as well.

Hubby has to be up at 6a to get ready for a 2 hr drive to RI and the 12 yr old has to be up at 515a to shower before he catches the school bus at 615a.

I SCREAMED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hubby was like "Why can't he stay up and play it with me?"

Both me and the 12 yr old looked at him like he was insane, an alien, a complete moron for even suggesting it. Thank gosh my 12 yr old has better sense as even HE agreed that he couldn't do it. He said he would check whatever it is out after he showers in the AM if he has time, otherwise he'd look at it when he got home from school.

Who is the kid again?

And here I was thinking earlier in the day how I wished the hubby was home to keep me, or the kids, from ****ing each other. HE JUST MAKES IT WORSE!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tempete8]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm having a similar conversation right this minute! Hubby's friend is at the store already, prepaying for his game. I guess he is going home, then going back to the store for the midnight release - but I only found that out at the end. I said to hubby "He's going to sit up there for the next 7 hours?!?! Um, no, we are having dinner before you leave." So, he's not sitting up there the whole time, but hubby probably will join him near midnight. Not sure if my son even realizes its tonight - if he did, he would probably ask to go as well. Won't happen, but he might ask anyways.

And, I got the "are you kidding me" look earlier. For the game, last year I made these bottled sodas from the game. It took 6 months to make 12 sets. This version is bringing them back. I commented about making any new ones, for just a few people. Hubby was not happy about that one lol.

[pinkster73]

Are you guys talking about that call of duty coming out at midnight? My son preordered his and actually wanted me to take him to get it tonight at midnight when it's released. Ya right!

[pinkster73]

I wonder if we're talking about the same game? Black Ops 2? My child, smarter than the hubby, set-up his computer/steam to auto-download it somehow at midnight, some pre-load thingamajig. :rolleyes:

Hubby still plans to stay up, and most likely play some of it. I'll be pulling him out of bed kicking and screaming in the AM, if he even bothers to go to sleep. I hope the person he's driving with to RI tomorrow all the luck in the world, as a long drive like that with a very tired hubby is NOT a good combo! :eek:

[queentina3]

Yes, that is the game my hubby and child are yapping about. Black Ops 2/Call of Duty, same diff. They are all war/fighting type of games and they drive me bananas when they play it as the yell to each other from one room to the other instead of using the darn voice chat via steam. :rolleyes:

[greygull]

Yes, COD Black Ops whatever it is. I call it by one name, it's the other. I give up.

Hubby is now saying he won't be going at midnight - so that he doesn't stay up incredibly late (he already stays up late most nights). So he'll stay up late tomorrow night lol.

[lylahmae]

It's all true. And we all wear toques 24/7.

Bunch-a hosers up there eh.
