Wouldn't that be akin to biting the hand that feeds us?
Will Q get upset if we go past 800 before she returns? I think 777 is more meaningful anyway. Soooooo, what Tee shirts, hoodies? Obviously I'm missing something or having a nerd moment(s).
Well, some of us have nice blue t-shirts with the HR Hero logo on it. They are patterned after a superman shirt since we are super people. You didn't get yours?
I remember the Tee shirts you guys wore for the calendar but I figured that was your compensation for the photo shoot! Maybe I should pay my subscription.......
So kind of you Ray to include me on the team, very AAP of you. But I'll just wait until Heroes rolls out the newest and greatest advertising schtick. I'm still waiting on my HR Survival Kit that Q was putting together!!
Instead of the t-shirt, I got the ceramic puzzle that came with a tube of glue. You put it together and it sort of resembles a Hero coffee mug. First it was entertaining and then it was functional. My hot chocolate didn't taste too bad with the glue flavor in it!
Woo-hoo! If I don't take too long to hit the post button I will be post 800! Woo-hoo!
I really missed you guys. I have been back for 2 weeks frantically trying to catch up around here and meet some deadlines. I finally got to log on late last week. I see that Paul has a musical and Ray has his own thread too. I was a little confused at first when I found out that Ray likes turtles, but soon all became clear.
I only have one interesting thing to report. My hubby gave himself a buzz hair cut with our electric chain saw on the 4th. He got a little careless while cutting down trees on the fence line. The chain saw hit the fence and came right back up and hit him in the head. Fortunately, he had his hat on and had just put quite a few paper towels in the lining to help absorb his perspiration. We also think it had some sort of automatic shut off so he was more bruised than bleeding. The hat is a goner, but his head was cut sideways and not too deeply. I was able to treat it at home. It certainly livened up my day.
What is it with men and chainsaws? I came home from work a couple of weeks ago and my Hubby was on a ladder trying to cut a branch over his head. About the time I opened my mouth to tell him to be careful, the branch broke, knocked him off the ladder and the chainsaw grazed his leg on the way down. Sheesh, you buy'em books and send'em to school and they still almost kill themselves. Better keep that double indemnity life insurance policy paid up.
That reminds me of these special windows we had in our old recreation center. They were built to withstand the impact of a basketball. We were told they were even bullet proof.
But we were also told they would scratch if you cleaned them with a paper towel.
Maybe paper towels are ALOT tougher than we realize.
Here is something interesting as Nae Nae says. Take a loaf of bread in a plastic sack and hit someone in the back with it. You will be amazed at how much it hurts. Whoever you hit will also be amazed once they recover. Its a great deal of fun.
A similar thing happened to my dad, though I don't think a chainsaw was involved. He was cutting a branch, which, when it broke, swung down, knocked the ladder out from under him, and he fell 30 feet to the ground. He had a compound fracture in his foot/ankle and was in a full leg cast for like 8 weeks. As much as that sucked, he was lucky that he survived the fall that well!
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-17-07 AT 11:42AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I firmly believe men, except for Ray, should not be allowed to prune trees, shrubs, etc. unless a woman is present to supervise. Without supervision, they either injure themselves or the vegetation.
I'll have you know I have pruned many shrubs and trees without hurting myself nor has the vegetation complained of undue pain. My wife does not supervise me.

If only you had achieved that feat on 07/07/07.
This thread now takes me about 90 seconds to load at home on WIFI dsl. In internet time, that is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.
HR HERO needs to update their forum interface. Would any of you be interested in joining me in some kind of protest that could shake up Brentwood?
We could stage a hunger strike or at least a mocha strike. Or, we could just not post. Or we could continually press the alert button over and over.
Or we could all just show up on their doorstep like gypsies demanding a new forum. Threatening to hang out in their lobby until we get what we want.

devalued at about the same rate.

They have to be careful of what goes out to whom, they don't want to feed anyone's addiction.

Great to be back.

I noted that NaeNae referred to her husbands near fatal accident with a chainsaw as an "interesting" thing that happened.
Seriously, you should contact the paper towel maker with your story. I could see them making a new commercial.
"Our paper towels have delicate flower prints, extra absorbancy...and chainsaw deflecting strength!!"
But we were also told they would scratch if you cleaned them with a paper towel.
Maybe paper towels are ALOT tougher than we realize.

If you swing a typical loaf of bread and hit someone in the back with it at a decent speed, you will knock the wind out of them.
And if you use a large sack of dinner rolls, you might just kill them.
