Re: Randoms

  • I like the idea of multiple awards in addition to an overall winner.  It would allow for a more focused campaign.  I think Sascha has a real shot at Miss Congeniality.

    We will have to come up with a category for you to enter Ting.  I don't know him, but I feel he was born a champion.

  • Vicki -- you have time to rectify this.  Go find a super hot fvckbuddy and you'll sweep that category for sure.

    Boxer -- of course you can use their puppy pictures from before for your campaign materials.  The only place a recent photo is required is for the official campaign photo.

    I admit that I'm afeared this will probably be Maggie's last year of competing.  I hope I'm wrong.

    You're going about this all wrong.  Make it a baked goods category so that Vicki and coley have to compete by sending us all samples. Duh.

    WTF is wrong with you?! Why would you even THINK such a thing?!

  • I just know if I could capture Boomer's sneaky walk on video, I would run away with the pet category.

    I haven't been able to do that yet, though, so here is my guy doing his best Simple Dog impression and hiding under the Christmas tree at the new place after the move.

    I know!  It pains me to say so, and I hope it's just my usual paranoia.  But in the past year, she's started having a bit more problems.  They're all super minor and treatable, but it puts that nagging doubt in the back of my head.  We don't know exactly how old she is, but she's probably about 12 or 13 which is the age both of my previous dogs died at so I'm nervous about it.  I admit it's most likely me Googling "is my dog going to die soon?"

  • I can't enter Bill, though. He lives with my brother now. (long story short-he was sitting him when we moved over the summer, and when I called to pick up he and his kids asked if they could keep him because he was the best dog he'd ever had. Since it was just going to be me at home and I'm typically away from home 11 hours a day...It was either hurt their feelings or hurt my own. But they all adore him and have kids to play with him so it's good for him)

    That's a flammable confession.

    People are weird about this, sure.  But I don't think this is flammable (flameable?).  I think that is really sweet of you!  You did a good thing.

  • Thanks vinny. I feel awful about it though. And I would love to have him back, but that'd be a really crappy thing to do. He sleeps with my nephew now!

    In college I agreed to dogsit for an aunt/uncle that were splitting up until the uncle could get a new place to that would accept her. 10 months later I still had her and told him I was taking her with me to Seattle when I moved. He begged for his dog back and suddenly got things lined up if only my sister could keep her for a couple days until the weekend after my move. I agreed and he flaked out again. Eventually my sister told him to eff off and that Eta was her dog now. I'm still sad/angry/guilty that I was duped and gave her up. She always sleeps with me when I visit. Sad

    E got eliminated fairly early too. I was alerted it was mostly because I dress him like a Guido douchebag. He's not any less Guido so I fear an early loss. Since LHC thinks kiddie rejection is scarring I may have to rethink MM before subjecting him to that probable fate.

    Mh could take it even if he is vain. He understands these things since he didnt win the Redbook thing

    Shellac comes in the most boring colors ever. I'm going with regular polish just for blue. Essie Bobbing For Baubles to be exact.

    I have moms night out for E's school. According to US Weekly, I'm everything that is "out" vs "in" right now down to the length of my hair so I feel like winged and escaped ML'er bounce party mom right now. Like a dorky loser. 

  • Yeah, I don't flame that. No worries. :)

  • I personally love E's clothes.

    If I could figure out how to share videos, like Dagger slam dancing last night, I would totally do that to up my chances of winning. I feel like video captures him better than photos.

    And, I would love to enter my stick figure awkward family photos.

  • GAH!  CALI!  Crying  Maggie is going to live forever.  FOREVER.

    I think that Ting could sweep a lot of categories.  He would have "best use of laser noises" in the bag, and would give Cali a serious running in "best use of YOUR FACE."   Man I miss that kid!

    I would win the baking category by sending everyone cookies with Bobsquatch face on them.  It's funny every time.

    Cali, I'm giggling about making potential fvckbuddies pose for pictures.  "Oh, it's just for a contest on the internets...no worries!"

  • OMG why am I on random cookies?! It's like Christin's iPad!

  • "I need to take your picture."

    "Um, OK."

    "Stand here...no, a little to the left, so you can't see your trailer."

    "Why?"

    "No reason. . . .  And maybe just for the picture, you could lose the cane."

    "You're being really weird."

    "NO JUST TRUST ME.  THIS IS FOR THE BEST."

  • Winged, I watched that on FB.  I was about to comment, but my FB keeps doing this really annoying jump thing (I'll be reading through and then the feed just jumps back up to the top) and it jumped right before the end of the video.  I was about to comment that Andy and Dagger have very similar dance styles and should rock out sometime, but then in reading the comments, I took it that I missed him cracking his face on the table.  Ouchy...still, our kids man.  They could be besties.

    The sound I just made from laughing so hard bordered on obscene. Thank you.

  • Yeah, the video ends on him slamming his chin into the coffee table and then looking toward the camera in horror. I actually keep watching it to laugh. That makes me a mean mom, doesn't it?
  • You should probably snap the picture before you go to Golden Corral.  You don't want to take the picture after when he's all bloaty and full.

  • Also, based on this thread, I think vicki should only sell baker's dozens from now on. With every order of 12 cookies, you get a 13th cookie with your design with bethie's face on it.

    I'll sit next to you on the mean mom couch.  Andy was running laps around the kitchen and living room last night.  As he is about to round the corner (but still out of eye sight), I hear him slip and fall.  ::pause for a couple of seconds::  "I'm oookkkaaayyy."

    My husband and I cracked up.

    While looking for a picture to accurately express my delight and laughter, I came across this:

    Bethie, I had extra Bobsquatch cookies after making your SS cookies.  So I included some in a batch I was sending to Cali (hence the sprinkles) and a batch I was sending to Groomz (as part of a "Spiders in your Christmas" set).
