TECWAE joke

Dick Cheney and George W Bush were having breakfast at the White House
The attractive waitress asks Cheney what he would like, and he replies "I'd like a bowl of oatmeal and some fruit..."And what can I get for you, Mr. President?" George W. looking up from his menu, replies with his trademark wink and slight grin,.... "How about a quickie this morning?" "Why, Mr. President!" the waitress exclaims"How rude! You're starting to act like Mr. Clinton!

As the waitress storms away, Cheney leans over to Bush and whispers..........

"It's pronounced, 'Quiche'

Johnson & Johnson Plans To Cut 4,800 Jobs

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=conewsstory&refer=conews&tkr=JNJ:US&sid=aKm2WIIdiqOo

I don't know if people have seen this in the news but J&J just laid of 3-4% of their global workforce. No worries, I was not affected but they did close both of the plants by where I am living (about 700 people total I think) and I know quite a few people that were let go. The reason is that 2 of our "blockbuster" drugs (Risperdal and Topamax) will go off patent in 2008 and we will take a big hit when we start competing with generic drugs. Also, there has been a lot of negative information around drug-coated stents lately and some of the companies have taken a big hit lately because of that. As Dad said, Welcome to the business world I guess...

Hi to every one…I have been unable to get on the blog… hopefully this will work…Sorry I missed your birthday Nicole..I tried…looking forward to the week end…Memere has no idea…she gets confused easily so we have to be as organized as possible…how about bringing your own towels and trying to leave them in your room or tent or my room if you have no other space… that will really help and sheets too…or at least take your sheets home with you to wash so they will not be left there…the dryer is not working so that leaves a ton of work for Tina…when you arrive bring everything upstairs right away…now I know I am not in charge …God only knows who is...but I want to have a lot of family fun …so what do you say to no hard liquor…only a little beer and wine…don’t forget a birthday card and scratch tickets for Memere…or something else if you want…but we all know she likes tickets the best…Today would have been PEPE”S 90th birthday…so I am sure he is watching over us all today…be careful Kristin…I am looking forward toseeing everyone…Love Auntie Paula

Busy Busy!!

I thought you might find some of these pictures interesting. Last Wednesday we had a steam explosion in Manhattan. I started this week working nights from 7PM - 7AM. I am now back on the day shift, but I am not sure my body knows that yet. The explosion site is still a work in progress. It will be a long time before they can determine the cause of the accident and get the street restored.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Vermont!

"The Dirty Jerz"

So I am finally back and settled again in California. I was in New Jersey for almost 2 weeks for training. The first weekend, a bunch of my West Side friends came up and we went out in the city - minus all of Hoboken being without water on Saturday because of a water main break it was a great weekend and good to see all of my friends.

The second weekend Mom came down and Friday night we went to dinner with some of my friends from the program - most of the international group who call themselves Team UCan for the UK and Canada. After a delicious dinner at Arthur's (Paul you should make them take you there!) we went to a bar and PEGGY came with us...not only did she come to a bar but she had to pay a cover to get in! I bet that was the first time she did that in a long time. Although we were unsuccessful in convincing her to do shots with us, it was a lot of fun. Here is a picture of us at Black Bear:
On Saturday we went and saw Lion King on Broadway - it was great! We had a good time and I think even Dan enjoyed it! We had a great dinner in Hoboken on Saturday and then all passed out early...it was a long week for all of us!

The design is in...now we need the sizes. Please let us know ASAP!

Also, would anyone be interested in a sweatshirt in addition to the T-shirt. We're not sure if we can get them, but are curious about the interest level.

Thank you!

New York City

I just wanted to let everyone know that as of Monday I will be moving to New York City – most likely Manhattan or Brooklyn. I am going to be working in the field on a flagship Apple store at 14th St. and 9th Ave in lower Manhattan. I’m very excited and looking forward to seeing Meredith and Dan a lot more. Although I will be working a lot of hours, anyone who wants to come visit is more than welcome to stay with me any time. Wish me luck finding a place to live, I’ll keep the blog posted!

22 Days and Couting....Are YOU Ready?

Family Weekend is only 22 days away. I feel like there are a few ends that need to be tied up before we all get there.

  • Don't forget to send Mel any pictures of Mimere you might have

  • Family T-shirts - Is it something we want to do again? Color suggestions? I am willing to do the leg work if we decide on something, but we need to act soon!

  • I am working on something and need to find a nice quote about family and friends. I will post a few that I found in the comments section, but please help me out with any suggestions you might have.

  • Of course Dan wants to know about the beer - 40s are out, but what do we want in a keg? What worked for everyone on July 4th?

Mimere's Newest Story

We all know how Mimere loves to tell stories. Have you heard the latest one?

Her grandkids are SOOOOOOOO nice they bought her a washer and dryer for the camp. For those who don't know (and I didn't know until yesterday!), the grandkids were chipping in to buy her a washer and dryer we found on Craigs list. Everything is already installed - Thank You Kevin! Each grandchild should chip in $20 (a small price for making Mimere happy!) Kristin had to lay the cash out, so please make sure you pay her back whenever possible.

Thank you!

Springfield, MASS????

Do you want The Simpsons movie to be filmed in Springfield, Mass?? Vote here...

www.usatoday.com/life/movies/simpsons-contest.htm

Family weekend beverage choices

All,

I know this has been a highly debated subject the past two years. Are we going to get a keg and if so, what kind of beer would everyone agree on drinking? I guess we should try and get the answer before we all ascend to the camp and have a big "discussion" about it, like always. I guess all options are open as of right now.

Discussion can begin now!

TECWAE

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol - Dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead
Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead
Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.

So the Minister asked the congregation - What can you learn from this demonstration?

Maxine, sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said:

"As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"
Hell, that works fer me ....


Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell.

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

We need to get a separate blog going to see who is headed to the camp for the 4th. I think we should try and carpool to save $$$. So who's going??

Happy Wednesday!

Another visit from TECWAE

The Burglar and Jesus
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around,
looking for valuables; and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables.
Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, Clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.
Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot.
"Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."
The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"
"Moses," replied the bird.
"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird
Moses?"
"The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler, Jesus."

How is your Thursday going?

I am sure you can tell by how I started this that my day did not start off well! First of all, I get up everyday at 5:15 which kills me. Like normal I showered, dressed, and started to dry my hair. The normal routine is to dry my hair is sections, three to be exact, because it is usually faster. So, I dry the bottom, and then the sides. For some reason I turned off the hairdryer and walked into the bedroom to get something before drying the last part. I said to Dan (who was still sleeping!)...Do you think I should wear my hair like this today? Most of it down except the part in the middle that was still soaking wet, sitting in a bun on the top of my head with a clip (very hot look, if I do say so!). After laughing at me, he immediately falls back asleep and I head back to the bathroom to continue drying my hair. Did you ever hear the saying, you get what you ask for? Wouldn't you know, the hairdryer would not turn on!!! The on/off switch broke and there was nothing I could do about it. Needless to say I was not a happy camper and looked pretty funny walking to the bus with half wet and half dry hair. Absolutely Lovely!

Then, I am walking through the subway station and look down to see that I have deodorant marks on my shirt. I love it!!

Hopefully, your day is going better than mine. With any luck, those are the only bad things that will happen today. I will keep you posted!

a new joke TECWAE

In a crowded city at a busy bus stop, a beautiful young woman wearing a tight mini skirt was waiting for a bus.
The bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus. Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver, she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg. She tried to take the step, only to discover that she couldn't. So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little more, and for the second time attempted the step.
Once again, much to her chagrin, she could not raise her leg. With a little smile to the driver, she again reached behind to unzip a little more and again was unable to take the step.
About this time, a large Texan who was standing behind her picked& nbsp;her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus.
She went ballistic and turned to the would-be Samaritan and yelled, "How dare you touch my body! I don't even know who you are!" The Texan smiled and drawled, "Well, ma'am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we was friends."

Vegas and Vermont

So my trip to Vegas was a lot of fun. For those of you who don't know, I went with my friend and her family for 5 nights over memorial day weekend. Although apparently I did not see anything that Aunty Paula wanted me to see, I had a great time. We saw Cirque du Soleil; the one called Love with all the beatles music and it was amazing. Those people are so talented I was in awe the whole time! We also saw Wayne Brady. He does a show in Vegas that is hilarious and incorporates a lot of stuff he did on Whose Line is it Anyway. I also got to walk the strip and see all the casinos, New York New York, and Paris. And one of the best parts was that we ate in some amazing restaurants. If any of you watch Top Chef, we ate in the restaurant of the bald judge (I forget his name) and it was soo good. We had steak dinners and I even liked it (I normally don't like steak). We also took a drive through the desert and saw the landscape, it was so beautiful! Unfortunately I did not win any money, but I did get to relax and enjoy a vacation with one of my best friends from school and her awesome family.

On another note, I am planning on going to Vermont this weekend if anyone would like to join me. I want to go up on Thursday night and come home on Monday. I would love some company for the whole time or anytime in between! I might be bringing my friend Erica, who I went to Vegas with, but I am not sure, depends if she wants to travel more since she has been on the move since school ended.

Well, thats it, love you all!

We're Taking Over

Here is a link to a really interesting article that someone sent me today. It talks about Generation Y in the workplace and how we're going to take over...maybe someday sooner than others had thought:

http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/05/28/100033934/index.htm

It is a little long but definitely worth the read - let me know what you think!

California #2

Today we ventured out to Muir Woods to check out the Redwood trees. On the way out we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge. We were able to stop and get some good pictures since it was actually a pretty clear day in San Francisco. After Muir Woods, we went to Golden Gate Park and checked out the Rose Gardens which were beautiful. We also drove down Lombard Street and then Dan was on a mission to "find Danny Tanners house." Andrea did some research and found the address so Dan was happy.

Gorgeous! Thankfully we had a clear day. If we had gotten up a little bit earlier we could have seen the whales swimming back to sea! That is all they have been talking about on the news here...I am glad they are finally safe!








One of the many pictures of the HUGE redwoods! We did a 1.5 mile hike through the woods. It was so relaxing to be in the woods with peace and quiet. There definitely aren't places like this in New York City.









That is one of the many redwood trees where you could walk into the base.









Absolutely beautiful! They had a rose garden in Golden Gate Park with rows and rows and different rose bushes. I wish all roses bloomed to look like this one. In my opinion.....perfect!







Dan was so happy to finally find Danny Tanners house.

It is the little things in life that matter, right?

California #1

I promised to update from California, so here we go...

Dan's birthday was cut short by an hour when we missed our connecting flight in Salt Lake City on Thursday and got stuck there for the night. But, we still made it to San Jose pretty early on Friday. We headed out to Monterey for the weekend. First, we biked part of the 17 mile drive. We got really lost and ended up biking a long time up a lot of huge hills! Saturday we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and then drove down through Big Sur...it was absolutely beautiful! Sunday we had ticket to the Giants game. We got to see Barry Bonds hit home run #746. They love Barry in San Francisco. Monday morning we went to the Winchester Mystery House and then picked up Andrea at the airport. She led us up to Picchetti Winery where we did a wine tasting, and then we had dinner with out old neighbors in Mountain View. Today Andrea went back to work (ha ha!) and Dan and I went into San Francisco. We did a city tour and of course Dan had to try out some local beers at a bar in San Francisco. Back to being tourists tomorrow!

Enjoy the pictures!


Biking along the 17 Mile Drive. I know, I know....those helmets are hot! But they did keep us safe. Behind me is Bird Rock. Can you guess why the rock is mostly white?










The infamous Lone Cypress....need I say more?


















One of the beautiful shots we got while driving along Big Sur! It definitely paid off to get a new camera before the trip.

















The penguin exhibit at the aquarium was great.













We had awesome seats at the Giants game after we traded tickets with a couple who wanted to sit next to their friends. This is Barry Bonds crossing home plate after home run #746.










Picchetti Vineyards had peacocks running around the premises. Of course Dan had to chase them! We had some great wine, but I am still looking forward to Napa Valley!









Wine tasting at Picchetti. Andrea is a club member here so we tasted for free...Thanks Ange!

Happy Birthday Dan!



Happy Birthday Dan!

Dan's words of wisdom on his birthday (this is what he said as soon as he woke up this morning!)..."So today will be the longest birthday I ever have." I guess since we are changing time zones during our flight to California, he will get three extra hours to celebrate!

He got a new digital camera for his birthday, so check back for pictures from California during next week.

Fun Weekend in South Carolina

Dan and I were able to take a quick trip to South Carolina this past weekend. We flew down Friday night and headed back Sunday afternoon. One of Dans friends got married so we had a good reason to make the short trip. We had a great time even though it was only for two days!



I think you all know already, but Dan's sister-in-law is pregnant. Our niece is due August 20th. How exciting!











If you remember Grant from the wedding, he was the one getting married. This was at the reception.










Next week we will be updating the blog with pictures from California. We head out on Thursday night for a week of fun! Stay tuned!

Bay to Breakers

This past weekend I walked in a 12K road race with 60,000 of my closest friends in San Francisco. I'm not sure how many people really run though - someone on my team summed it up well by saying it is a mixture of Mardi Gras, Halloween, and a beer festival. Most people wear crazy costumes (many wear nothing at all) and drink the entire time. I walked with a team of about 40 people and we had a great time! We were ping pong players. Some of the guys built a table that we rolled with us that held 2 kegs, about 500 ping pong balls, and conveniently had handles for moving keg stands. Here are some pictures:

This is walking over to the race. It was about 7:30AM here and the cops were not at all bothered by the 100's of kegs being wheeled around the city...
The moving keg stands were harder than they looked but it was really a lot of fun! Here are some of the massive crowds
It took us about 6 hours to walk the entire 7.4 miles. The winner of the race finished in 34 minutes I think. Most of our team actually never made it to the finish line because they opened the streets back up after 4 hours. A few of us walked ahead of the group so I actually did make it to the finish line... it was gorgeous!

Hey Everyone,
I justed wanted to say hello .  I havent been on in a while so i decided today i would actually leave a message.  I am hopefully planning on spending the 4th at the camp.  I hope there will be many others!! I also wanted to tell you guys how lonely meme has been lately.  And how much she loved andrea's mothers's day card.  Aside from the casino meme is obsessed with mail.  She must ask a million times a day if she got any mail.  So i was thinking that if everyone who reads this sends her a little card it would totally make her day.  And if you really wanted serious points, you could even throw in a few scratch tickets!

More to follow when we get Kev’s memory card back.

 

Anyone know if the camp is open yet?

 

Did you all hear that the camp is no longer rented the week after the 4th of July?  Now you have.  Who’s planning on going up and when?  I am going up on the 3rd and staying through the weekend.  I’m going to learn a few new songs on the guitar for some sing a longs – any requests?  I think we’re going to need sequels to “Big bright lights” and “Chompin on Kevin’s smore”.

While Mere was Reading...

Well while my lovely sister was reading all weekend I decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a limo tour of some Napa Wineries. My friend Blair from home was out for the weekend visiting her sister and brother-in-law near me so we spent the weekend in Napa - it was a lot of fun! That is Blair, her cousin Kemely and I tasting at VSattui in the private wine cellars...



Anyways, my real reason for the post is to pass along a fun website I found for all of those Splenda lovers out there: http://www.splendidlife.com It is a new website that we just published where you can buy cute things and learn about different ways to use Splenda. They actually have some really cute stuff! Unfortunately I don't think that we get a discount here but I thought I would share with everyone anyways :-)
Kevin & Paul - where are your picture?????

Looking for a good read?


This past weekend, I was doing anything I could to keep from writing the first 1/3rd of my thesis (which is due tomorrow!). This led me to reading a book, which I haven't done in a long time. If anyone is looking for a good book, easy read, and not too long, check it out... "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom.


I see that a lot of you are having trouble logging in to post a comment. Underneath the comments box where you type, there are three choices - Google/blogger, other, and anonymous. If you click the other box, you can type your name in how you want it to appear. There is no need to write anything in the second box that says your web page. I hope this helps and is not too confusing for you!

I hope everyone has a great week!

Family Weekend?

When is family weekend?  Do we have any crazy event’s planned yet?  I think we should do a pig roast!! Anyone else?!?  We had a pig roast at my apartment in Boston two years ago and it was awesome!! The pig was great and there was plenty for everyone.  And while it’s cooking would be a perfect time for some cornhole, horseshoes, card tournament, etc… quality family time!

Back From Central America

We are back safe – with stories, photos and diarrhea!  We cruised the streets of lakeside villages on motorcycles, we flew through the jungle canopy on ziplines, we climbed to the top of ancient Mayan ruins, we swam naked in the most beautiful place in the country (it was the most beautiful even before we were naked there),   we climbed through caves that housed Mayan sacrifices, we stood on a volcano 10’ from molten hot lava, and one night we even wore dresses and played pool.  It was an amazing trip!

Rednecks in New England?

Well since my post yesterday went over so well, I figured I would try again today!

Mom forwarded us a cute e-mail this morning that I thought that I would share with everyone...

Forget Rednecks... here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about New Englanders...

(1) If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in New England ..
(2) If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in New England .
(3) If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in New England.
(4) If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in New England .
(5) If "Vacation" means Maine or Cape Cod - and only Maine or Cape Cod, you live in New England.
(6) If you measure distance in hours, you live in New England.
(7) If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in New England.
(8) If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again, you live in New England .
(9) If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England .
(10) If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you live in New England .
(11) If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you live in New England.
(12) If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you live in New England .
(13) If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in New England .
(14) If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you live in New England .
(15) If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in New England.
(16) If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you live in New England.

Media Coverage of Virginia Tech Massacre

Does anyone else find the pictures released yesterday of the Virginia Tech killer very disturbing? Is there really a need to publish all of these pictures, especially the ones where the gun is pointed at the camera?

Just curious how people are feeling about that...I am disturbed!

Also, please check with your company to see if they do matching gifts for donations that you make. It is a great way to double or triple your donation!

Thanks for all of your support! Love and miss you all!
