I actually ended up spending more money at Best Buy...I bought the complete M*A*S*H series on dvd and LOVE it.

Belk was having a store closing sale and I got two pairs of dress pants for work for a TOTAL of $42.00!

BTW...while at Best Buy, I saw Ravenhearst and Prime Suspects on the shelf. How's Ryan doing with the game you got him for his birthday?

Sorry...musta deleted part of this in last post .....

Not interested in MASH...you can keep that

Pants? Eh...you're probably not my size

I'll have to ask him when he's awake....he went to bed at 9

Wow, whoever you were rooting for, you have to admit that was a GREAT 4th Quarter!! Very exciting!

And I thought the half time show was fantastic. Tom Petty live is just awesome.

Anyone care to share their favorite Superbowl commercial....

I don't think that they were fantastic this year,

but my fave was the one with the Budweiser Clydesdale one who was trying out for the team but didn't make the cut. Then the dalmatian and horse were training to Rocky music....in a word...awesome!

 

[macraven]

i liked the one for the water.
when the one lizard ate the grasshoper i laughed for a long time.


and the first coke commercial was a real hoot.

 

[AlexandNessa]

I liked the water one too.

I am almost admitting sheepishly that I liked the Justin Timberlake commercial.

I too didn't think the commercials were that great this year, but I do think it's brilliant marketing to have them all on You Tube after the game.

We had the game on at work. Living in NJ, most were Giants fans. It was hard not to get caught up in the 4th quarter, especially after that amazing catch by that Giants guy with the funny name ....

We ate way too much today, and had quite a bit of fun for being stuck at work during the game. I actually had more fun at work that I would've had at home. Had I been at home, the game wouldn't even have been on!

Hey gang - checkin in a bit late tonite.

CONGRATS PENNY!!! and all the other GIANTS fans out there. I watched most of the first half at Father-inlaw's house and then we left at half time to come home. Then I went to bed (was exhausted) and now I'm back up (trouble sleeping).

Rose - Congrats on Matthew having a good show. We parents do seem to beam when our kids do something good, in the talent area.

Speaking of talent - Marcie has got a talented crew. Is there anything the youngest DS canNOT do! I am always amazed at how good musicians can play many instruments. I played clarinet in the school band, for "something" to do, but did not really have much "God-given" talent. My DS appears to have more talent in music than I did, but he needs to work at it a bit more. He is taking guitar lessons, but we couldn't talk him into an instrument for school band - it had to be the drums.


Lawrence - sending you for wifey. Seems like she has had a rough time. My BIL has been sick since Christmas. Went back to doc and got more antibiotics and 3 (!) shots today. Has not been able to kick this. I think this is his 3rd or 4th trip to doc.

This reminds me - Janet are you finally over your sickness or is it still hangin' around?

Katie - I didn't see all the commercials, but I also the Clydesdale working out to the "Rocky" theme. Budweiser usually has some great ads over the years.

This is my LAST week of travel. Will be leaving Monday morning and getting back Friday night. Friday can't come soon enough!

Wow - Barb did not immediately post after hitting 9999. Barb - you must be spending your time thinking up witty remarks for your milestone post.

And by the way, looking forward to hearing about your job situation. Am I right that HH stands for Hell-hole?

 

[AlexandNessa]

Oh, and if you're interested in even more work saga .... Skip this whole post if you're not!

OK, so there are 3-4 people who are on a permanent night shift who are ... I can't even describe them. Pigs? Pathetic whenever there are "leftovers?" Vultures to "free food?" I don't even know what to say. If they see leftovers, they immediately go to town and scarf things down like they've been held in captivity and haven't seen food in weeks. It's not normal. If there are ever any leftovers from anything that someone else paid for, you can count on them easily to finish things off, without any regard to sharing with anyone else. Or, you can count on them to hoard food meant for everyone so that no one else sees it or gets it. These are the people that you hide your food from if you want it to last more than one sitting. These are people who freely eat your lunch without any regard to it being your lunch and not theirs. Those kind of people. You know the kind of people I'm talking about, right?

Anyway, we had dinner for our evening tour on Thursday night. We paid for it ourselves. It wasn't a gift from the company or anything, not that it should matter. We had lots of dessert left over and we would have saved it for the following night, but we didn't put it away in time before the night tour came in. Before doing hand-offs or logging in to their consoles, night tour bee lined it to the "free food" and scarfed down cupcakes, cookies, etc. There were lots left, but I'm pretty sure night tour was practicing for a food-eating contest. Guess they wanted to eat before we put stuff away. Since they were eating, we didn't bother to put anything away. We figured the pigs were there, and they'd finish it. Well, they most certainly did finish, but adding an extra "pig" to their name, they didn't even clean up after themselves after polishing off every last morsel. They left empty trays lying around, crumbs everywhere. Pathetic. Sadly, this is par for the course. Further, they add insult to injury when we have customers on the floor and we have to do a sweep before they come. Then you're stuck cleaning up after your empty plates, trays, and bags that once contained your food. Since no customers come on the floor during night tour, they never clean up anything.

So, fast forward to tonight's big feast, where there were lots and lots of left overs. I watched the clock, and a half hour before night tour was to come in, we all made a huge game of putting everything away and hiding it. Every last blessed morsel of food and cleaned like you wouldn't know we had a party at all.

Then, when night tour came in, we set up chairs and watched them scope the floor trying to figure out where the food was. (Ok, you had to be there, but trust me, it was comical.) Those of us on evening tour didn't say a blessed word; just enjoyed watching them trying to figure out if we polished off everything (which never happens). The confusion was utterly priceless. When one of them asked, "Didn't you have a Super Bowl party?" we simply said, "yes." They didn't ask how the party was or anything, but were once again pathetically looking for "free food."

Even sadder is that I know one of the guy's wife. She would be mortified to know that her husband acted like that around any type of food at work.

Do any of you guys know anyone like this? Can anyone explain this mentality? I really don't understand it.

Congrats to all you Giants fans. Decent game. Commercials okay but not spectacular. My favorite was same as Katies.

New computer problem - dogs running around and ran across it. Now I am missing a letter, not real important or in many words (sure)! It is between "G" and "I". Yep it was a very important letter.

Jodie - Glad Daniel paid up.

Marcie - Great pics.

Tricia - Now it is time for our sport!!!!!

Barb - Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to see post # 10,000!

Jennifer - Good luck getting some sleep.


Nite everyone!
