@ KitKat OMG, ROFL about that last post in Jamesie's new tattoo, welcome to the "cracker club"

So I was going to post the thrilling things that had happened to me today in the jokes, but I will post it here instead.

Please have a seat before reading, we are not responsible for injury due to falling down laughing at the dumb blonde.
This is a true and detailed post of my day.
So I found and tried to contact with my birth father last night, but have yet to hear back. So I didn't get much sleep last night, about 4 hours. So I have stayed up today and wanted to take Tylenol PM to be sure and sleep tonight. Only no one can find the Tylenol PM. Last I saw it, it was on the kitchen counter. Last my husband saw it, it was on the bathroom counter. So after hunting, we stormed our daughters room. Found my pens, spoons, bowls, trash, soda cans, and other awful stuff. We were upset with her, confused about the Tylenol. We got her room looking better and gave up on the pills. I was about to get water from the fridge and thought " I wonder if we put the Tylenol PM in there" now don't ask me why we would do that, I didn't think that far. Yep, it was in on the butter shelf, right next to the antibiotics I have been taking cause one of the cats bit me.

Well, I guess I won't have to call the police and report a break in as that was the only possibility left. That someone had broken in and stolen the Tylenol PM, left the camera, tv's, comp. etc. Just the Tylenol PM. Good thing, cause I can't find the eleven button on the phone.
Hope everyone else had a good day. We are just having too much fun.

As I was reading in bed last night (Outlander of course!) I flipped through the channels for some noise. Didn't take me long to stumble across the greatest Scottish accent in the world, Mr. Sean Connery! It was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, not one of his better movies, but I find it impossible to pass up anything that he is in. So I had Sean in my ears and Jamie in my hands. Only thing missing was Jamesie and the Keebler Elves next to me...lol!!!

Morven · « **Reply #2 on:** Thursday 27 January 2011, 17:40 »

Jamesie and the Keebler elves........that's just bizarre.....

I take it everyone in the Cracker Club is a little cracked (please pardon the pun)

KitKat · « **Reply #3 on:** Thursday 27 January 2011, 17:49 »

Ok, that DID come off sounding a little cracked...lol. The Keebler Elves were the only cracker reference I could come up with. And yes, we in the cracker club ARE a bit cracked...lol.

annandale · « **Reply #4 on:** Thursday 27 January 2011, 17:58 »

Pertaining to strange items found in the refrigerator but might be more suitable for another thread....I acquired a little rescue cat from the humane society a few years ago to keep my Siamese company. She's a beautiful, muted calico but when I brought her home she was a tiny little fuzzball who possessed amazing speed but no brakes. She would whiz around the house and run into what ever object happened to be in her way. Hence, her name...Whizbang

Anyway, one day I couldn't find her. I knew she was in the house because my cats are housecats and she had just been in the kitchen watching me prepare dinner. I looked everywhere and just when I was getting frantic, I heard a faint meow, meow, meow. I went back to the kitchen where I had last seen her and began opening cabinets. No kitten! I could hear her so I listened even more carefully......then I opened the refrigerator door. She was one cold and very angry little Whizbang

My Siamese is named Snicklefritz. My very Irish grandfather used to call my brothers that name and I thought it was cute. I researched and found that Snicklefritz is an old German slang word for active, young boy which seemed extremely appropriate for this particular cat. After naming him along with 2 other names and having his papers completed, I researched a bit more and found out that Snicklefritz is also slang for a little boys private parts!!!

KitKat - Outlander books are awesome, I have to reread them all when a new one comes out. I also agree with you on Sean Connery movies.

Not to sure about the Keebler elves though? That would fit more with cookies in my mind, but it was in your head, so who am I to quibble.
Sounds like you had sweet dreams.

Jamesie is a very good looking man, but a young one. Still, those eye's

I am really not sure how these things happen to me. I know we all do something that makes no sense at one time or another. I think it is having a husband that can make me laugh with just a look. He does it every time I have one of those ( hope no one is watching) moments. Even when I say something that makes no sense, he knows what I am trying to say, only we get to laughing so hard that I can't ever get out the correct statement.

Morven - I think you may be correct. KitKat came up with that one (cracker club) and I just ran with it. I liked your pun though.

Lately though, I feel more like I'd be a better fit for the falling to pieces club. I wonder if they did a lobotomy when they did my hip.
Still trying to rebuild the muscles. I was attempting to skip last night, guess I was not doing well. My son went to his room, my daughter had pepsi coming out of her nose and my husband turned red and sat down rather fast.

Dang, I was really trying hard to be able to do normal movements. This is the encouragement I get around here.

Hubby says it looked like this

.

Annandale- Very funny about the cat, at least she went in on her own. We still don't know how the Tylenol got in. Love the names you gave your cats. Our kids named ours.
Our cat, Delilah has this thing for running water. She was trying to get into the washing machine, I picked her up and put the lid down, only her foot was still there. I then set her on the lid, which put weight on her foot, and bob's your uncle, she bit me. Took me a second to realize she was biting me. She is such a loving cat, it didn't register.
So fearing infection with a new hip, I got to the DR. and they gave me antibiotics. The pharmacy tried to give me pills that were huge, I swear I have given sulfur tabs smaller than that to calves. So they changed it to liquid, which has to go in the fridge. Nasty stuff, I think they forgot to put any flavoring in it.

Never a dull moment here.

Crackers?
Read the "Jamesie's new tattoo" posts. It will clear up the whole thing.

Kitkat, I will leave you to explain the crackers. I have promised my daughter that I would behave.
Did it count about the Tylenol in the fridge?
I keep telling her, it could be worse. HA HA, just wait till she brings home boyfriends. Now I have scared myself, OMG boyfriends for my little baby.

Hmm...is it possible to be a founding member if I'm still sure I couldn't abide the crumbs?

Treasurer, perhaps

or better yet..PR

From what little I've seen of him, I'd be willing to bet he'd be embarrassed if he read this. Hopefully, he has a vast sense of humor

KitKat · « **Reply #10 on:** Thursday 27 January 2011, 22:51 »

Oh, he seems to be amiable enough. I'd love to know if he has been reading the goings-on of his female admirers. Jamesie, if you read these, please just pop in with a yay or nay.

R*I*O, I don't think I need to explain the crackers. A quick read of the thread will make all clear...lol. And yes, I think the Tylenol in the fridge would suffice. I myself have caught myself trying to put the milk in the pantry and bleach in the freezer. I just chalk that up to being a busy mom.

Cheryl, you can definitely be PR, especially since you've met him. Your job at Black Mountain will be to get me introduced and be my official photographer.

Valkyrie73 · « **Reply #11 on:** Thursday 27 January 2011, 23:40 »

I'd bet getting a pic with him can be arranged as he's ever the gentleman

When he looks rested, introduce yourself. He's very obliging, they all are. As Jacquie said, "There's no need for shyness here!"

So. Or. Miniatures · « **Reply #13 on:** Friday 28 January 2011, 01:00 »

Ok, Jamesie, if you are reading these posts. Please keep in mind that it all started with Sean Connery's eye's. Yours are very nice also. We took poor KitKat's words and ran with it.
OMG I will never be able to look him in the eye now.

HA ha, my husband was reading this as I type it, he says" oh, it's about the cracker toss."
Like I said, they are going to get security and not allow me in the gate.

The funny think is, my daughter turned red at the store when I asked her to get some crackers.
I think my husband would like me to throw crackers at him. If he keeps laughing at my attempts to skip and run. I just might throw something at him.

KitKat · « **Reply #14 on:** Friday 28 January 2011, 01:11 »

Oh, isn't he just the most adorable thing you've ever seen in a kilt? I really can't wait until WNC!
When I do get to meet him, I'm going to be about 50 shades of red regardless of whether he reads these posts or not. If he does, can you imagine our meeting?
"Hi Jamesie, my name is Catherine, I'm KitKat on the Nach message board."

So. Or. Miniatures · « **Reply #20 on:** Friday 28 January 2011, 01:38 »

ROFL!!! Tears of laughter. Thanks again, to my husband for bringing to my attention.
He says he can see it now, Jamesie will ask "Whoo in the crowd is a member of the cracker club" No one will need to raise their hands, as we will all be beet red and rolling on the ground in tears of laughter.

You know, I am beginning to feel bad for the poor guy.

Jamesie, we truly aren't poking fun at you. Please don't be offended!

KitKat, we can blame my husband. It is his bad influence that has caused my poor brain to rot. I used to be such a nice young lady. He is always pulling my leg, or laughing at the silly things I do. That man didn't even have the kindness to tell me about cows and how they get their feet trimmed.
OK, I am going to embarrass myself so we can ease off poor Jamesie.
I was raised in a very rich neighborhood in Southern Calif. I knew about horses, and surfing. When we moved up here, we bought some cattle to raise for our freezer.
I learned about bottle feeding drop calves, etc. Then we got a little heifer to breed our own cattle instead of going to the coast to get them. So knowing about horses, I went right to work and taught the heifer to walk nice in a halter and to be brushed. I even taught her to let us pick up her feet. Now this takes a lot of work, they don't like this at all, but I kept at it. I could even load her into a horse trailer and tie her to a hitching post.
That whole time, my husband was laughing at me. He just loved to tell everyone what I had done. Then a like a year later he told me that you put the cow in a squeeze shoot and tip it up to trim their hoofs. OMG I was so mad at him.
Only I did get even. When the cow ( sugarbabe) was going on 7 years old we took her to the auction. I got 600.00 for her( that is a lot for an old cow). I didn't even put her in the auction. This lady was told that we had a nice tame cow in the horse trailer. She didn't believe it. Yep a friend told her, she leads and will just walk right into yours if you want to buy her. This lady then said, ok if you can load her like that I will give you 600.00 cash. So I unloaded the cow and then loaded her into the ladies trailer with out a lick of trouble.
HA HA HA, my husband was totally shocked when I came home with that much money for an old cow.

So Jamesie, it could be so much worse.

And I won't even go into the pig's. That was almost as bad.

I don't think I could keep a straight face.
KitKat, I so wish you would come to the Pleasanton venue. You are a blast! I would love to meet all of you guy's. I am stuck out here in the West, with only one shot at seeing the Nach play. I hope there are some really fun fans in Sept.

Maybe you should bring those little oyster ones that you put in soup. Those seem like a much softer cracker. Don't want anyone hurt.
Better yet, get a t-shirt made that says

" Cracker Club"
I used to have a tee that said, "my next husband would be normal". Don't think I got that down too well.

, my boys are still fairly young so we have about 3 varieties of Goldfish in the house. They're not dangerous in the least. Although as crumbs they'd look like confetti

And your husband sounds like a treasure; who wants normal?

I'd love to grab Cat and come to the Sept. gig just to have fun with you ladies, but alas I'm pretty sure my trip card is getting rather full for the year as it is. My friends and family in Canada are adament that I'm to come this year and I'm going to Scotland just as soon as I figure out when (and lay out my trip

). If she's not already going maybe Darkreader will consider it? She's in CA and an awesome person.

So. Or. Miniatures · « **Reply #25 on:** Friday 28 January 2011, 04:16 »

I believe that I have chatted with Darkreader. She sounds very nice, I think she mentioned attending in Sept.
I also have met a nice lady through FB that is going, and I think there is one or two others on this forum that I have chatted with that will be there.
I am even giving up my tough truck shows and rodeo's to go.

As for my husband, I wouldn't trade him for the world. After working all day and then spending 2 hours trying to load a very sick horse into a trailer to get it to the hosp. and then driving for 4 hours in the pouring rain. He still found the energy to comfort me at the loss. He bought me another horse just as soon as I showed an interest in one again. Then a brand new rather large horse trailer just because this horse was too big for our other one. New saddle as I couldn't ride in the old one due to pain from the accident. Then two surgeries, doing everything for the kids, me and the house for the last 1 1/2 years. All on top of working full time and putting up with all my tears and frustration at not being able to do anything anymore.
My husband is an angel sent down just for me. I have always called him my sunshine. Without him, I would have just laid down and waited to die. He makes me smile when I want to cry and laugh even when I am mad.
The simple word LOVE isn't enough for what I feel for him. I am truly the luckiest woman on this earth.

Well, I will take pictures and post them for you. I hope you have safe and fun in all your travels. We hope to someday go to Scotland, right now it is very hard to go anywhere. We have my folks living here with us. Did an addition to care for them as my mom is in poor health. So we can't be far away for long. Funny, I never thought when we moved them up here that they would be pushing me in a wheelchair.
I had bad calf pain after the THR and my dad took me to the ER to check for blood clots. The OS didn't want me moving any clots into my lungs by walking. Good thing all is better now, I am even getting some shake back into this hip. Now if I can just loose the cane and limp.

And rest assured, if Jamesie is reading, his sense of humor is quite intact and while you may be the first group to bring crackers into the conversation...we've had plenty of similar conversations here in the forum with no problems.

I would love some good pictures. One of Donnie, Colin and Jamesie Please

That ok about the crackers, I sure would die of

. No way could I do it. It is so easy to get a little brash online. Not ever going to happen in person.

I will send you a pm on the drums and pipes. Could just be my warped mind, but I do believe the intent was hidden there anyway.

Maybe you should make a pair of cracker earrings, necklace or even a belt. I am sure those in the know will know, and those that don't will sure wonder.
I so want pictures. I will save up some more $ and send it to you, then you can buy the poor wee lad something wet to easy the chaffin. Maybe some Albannach Boo Boo Butter.

My kids are already laughing about the boo boo butter. They are going to call it the triple B's
Told my husband they now have the boo boo butter. He burst out laughing. I am sure he will think of all kinds of remarks while out cutting more firewood. ( Thanks to the firewood bandit) we don't have enough to make it through winter and no more in the budget. I so want blood, and NO boo boo butter for those SOBS

It is awesome Cheryl, getting us together every month. It's something I look forward to and I hope we can keep it up when I start nursing school. We could do it on a Friday instead of Saturdy, but it couldn't be as late of a night as it is now.

Well, I guess that sums it up. We all have a certain "cracker man" and we all hear voices. Woo Hoo
So we are cracked crackers?!

OK, so I had my daughter take some pictures of me with crackers. Then my grandson wanted the crackers. Then the dog took the crackers from my grandson and then while we were trying to get a picture of me and hubby, the dog was eating the crackers from my hand and I couldn't feed them to my hubby.

I was almost ROTFL. So my daughter took the picture. Here is the results. We have too much fun and now the grandson is running around yelling "cracker club"

OMG, went to the store tonight with the grandson. He just had to have the Keebler Club crackers. Took us quite a while to get down the next few isles as we were all laughing so hard. My grandson told me under no uncertain terms " Grammy you can not throw my crackers please. I want to eat them alone."

Have you ever been to WalMart and thought, those people are nuts?! Well you just may have been correct.

Speaking of nuts. I just have to share a picture of my birthday present. I just love it.

Now we have a sign warning that we are all crackers here.

Hey, you all have a great week. We are heading out early Sat. morning for a 12 hour drive that with all my required stops every two hours to walk around and stretch is going to be a long day.

Red Rock is farther up the 14 freeway north out of Mojave. Right now we are in Lancaster near the poppy preserve.
Didn't do too much hiking, but did do some. Not able to make it into the bottom of the Punch Bowl. I sent hubby and the kids without me and just hung out at the top. Beautiful day though, 71 but I had so forgotten the winds here.

Poor Jamesie, he must either want to throttle us, or has a sense of humor like my hubby.
HA, and we aren't even drinking while having such fun. OMG what would it be like if we all got together and were drinking. ( So we are driving the wrong way down a one way street. When the officer asks us " Didn't you see the arrows?" The reply should be " Arrows? I didn't even see the Indians") Ok it worked for me in Newport Beach, Calif at 18yrs. Ha didn't even get a ticket as the officer thought it very funny. I was being completely serious too. Blonde moments happen.

OK fellow Crackers. I think we need to get some T's made for us. Who can we get permission from to have a Nach symbol on them? Then I was thinking, find an elf in a kilt and put "NCC Member on the front" and Nach Cracker Club on the back.
Any thoughts? I don't want to do this unless we get an ok, otherwise it is copyright trouble.

We must not forget Aya, Jackie and Colin. HMM
Aya a case of BPR

( maybe not, he might have to share with J.)
Jackie, I think a very pretty Horse shirt!
Colin HMMM just not sure, maybe something his girl wouldn't mind. Don't wish to offend anyone.
Scarlett or Cheryl ? do either of you know who we ask to be sure it isn't copyright infringement about the t's?

OK Cat, you give him the shirt. I can send you some $ to help pay for it. Or just buy a nice horse shirt for Jackie.
That is great about your man not caring. Sounds like my hubby, maybe we can get him to pose with crackers too.

HMM what else can my mind come up with.
I did find a very nice T for Jackie today. Not sure what size though. XL?? It is purple with a white Arab type horse. I loved it, very graceful horse

Scarlett, the cruise would be great for J. gift. I wish I was a cruise person.

Too bad they don't do a cattle drive with the Nach as evening entertainment. That would be more my style. I don't even own a dress, much prefer jeans and boots. Last time I was in a dress was in 2001 for a Fire Dept awards dinner, UGH hated wearing the thing, and high heels are very hard to not trip in while drinking Tawaka in the parking lot with some local deputies.

I know I can mail them to Tina. She lives down there and is going for sure with her husband and father. I know she would get the shirts to them. I will ask Mike and Thomas if they have any ideas, we might be able to mail them if we can get and address. I know if we get them to Thomas, he can give them the gifts when they go back to Scotland in Aug.
Or maybe Scarlett can give them the shirts on the cruise.
