Issue 21 Vol 2

Important Holidays: None

Weather:  The gods have displayed that, while it is perfectly acceptable to get sand in every orifice, it is completely distasteful to get sand in your beverage. So good weather will ensue under the condition that this epic party foul is prohibitied. 

Urbandictionary word of the day:  dudevorce

When two male best friends officially end their friendship over a lame disagreement, usually concerning a girl.

Wayne and Garth have a classic dudevorce in Wayne's World. (Party time, excellent!)

Song of the Week: See HSOTW

Notable Accomplishments:  FWN welcomes Ali back to the electronic version - welcome back from boot camp! Alex did well on her employee review at work. Nate finished long course swimming. Cameron passed his physical training and rifle tests. ~28 days until Cameron returns. Lexy survived roller coasters at Hershey Park. Carinne successfully moved to a new house. 

Hypothetical Situation of the Week: You're the FWN Editor. What is the Song of the Week? 

You can pick a favorite song, a song you really like today - or if you're at a loss for either of those (or there's just too many), pick the most recent song you remember hearing, either on the radio, iPod, or TV, etc.

FWN Member of the Week: Nicole!

Nicole's favorite candy/candy bar is a Mallo Cup. Her favorite stretch goes a bit like this: she'll lay down and cross her legs over to each side and crack her tailbone. When given the choice of "no shirt" or "no shoes", she explains that if it's a hot guy she picks "no shirt" but for herself she picks "no shoes". Her computer desktop is currently a picture of her and her mother.

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

Urbandictionary word of the day:  BAMF

(acronym defined by R) Bad a__ mother fu__ers. It is used to describe people and things that are tough, hardcore, awesome^2, etc.

BAMF is the first slang term R knew and B did not. (true story)

Snow and skiing in July would be extremely BAMF.

Notable Accomplishments:  Bev’s birdfeeder is attracting hummingbirds. Nate got 8^th place in the 800 meter event (32 laps for you non swimmers). R Jr and Nate changed the muffler on the Del Sol. R Jr is now the President of the swim team parents. UM/T & Lexy are roller coastin’ it up at Hershey Park today. Poppy moved back home from inpatient therapy.

Hypothetical Situation of the Week: In honor of UM/T/L at the theme park… You’re the owner of a theme park. You’re naming your new roller coaster. What’s the name?

FWN Member of the Week: Greggy!

Greg’s current ringtone is Vibrate. For dessert, he most enjoys ranch Doritos. His middle name is Thomas and if he were stuck on a desert island with one plug and one appliance he’d bring his Big Screen TV. (Too bad they don’t get cable! Maybe you can rig a satellite up with coconuts and palm trees.) Greggy was not asked about his favorite reindeer but he should have been.

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

Issue 19 Vol 2

Important Holidays: Alcoholiday

Weather:  After R commented (read: complained) about it always raining booze in Pittsburgh, the gods of beer have relocated to: Jersey and Winston Salem, NC. Sorry Pittsburgh. You can thank R Jr for this one! (Suggest doing a rain dance to un-irritate the gods).

Upcoming Events (NEW SECTION!!): Nate’s swim team will be hosting championships Thursday-Sunday. Lexy is in Atlanta until Wednesday. UM/T will be going to a wine festival tomorrow (with friends to all of you stalkers on facebook).

Greggay is frequently a durfa durf while Alex is putting on her mascara.

Song of the Week: The Cardigans, Lovefool

Notable Accomplishments:  Carinne epically lost at Kings last week when Nate made the rule “whenever anyone else drinks, Carinne does too.” Carinne and Alex epically lost at tennis last weekend when they won two games out of eleven. Ron had his 25^th anniversary at his company last night. The trip to the winery was a raging success. Nicole, Bev, and Christine witnessed a protest outside of their office building yesterday.

Hypothetical Situation of the Week: (Brought to you by R Jr) You are a gangster in the 1920s or 30s or 40s. What is your gangster name? (famous ones are like machine gun Kelly, Baby Face Nelson, etc). Feel free to include your profession: floozy, prohibitionist (in the theme of cease raining beer in Pittsburgh), etc.

FWN Member of the Week: Mum Mum!

When given the choice of Sudoku, crosswords, or word finds, she picks a crossword. She takes her coffee black and the only time she was outside of the US was at St Thomas on a cruise. Her ‘something blue’ at her wedding was her garter that she threw to all the bachelors at the wedding.

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

Important Holidays: Mum’s Birthday, Cam’s Birthday, Mum Mum’s Birthday

Weather:  A booze bamboozlement will take place in Pittsburgh… Hold on to your livers and your porcelain gods this weekend. You’ll need ‘em both.

Urbandictionary word of the day:  cart cowboy 

 The last of the wild frontiersmen. Riders of the asphalt plains, herding the silver buffalo. A tough breed, accustomed to all types of hardships, including low pay, long hours, the occasional trampling by a wayward "silver buffalo". A vanishing breed, being replaced by the electronic cart pushers.

RE Jr and MJ have yearly sibling Olympics, both aiming for the title of Grocery Store God. Challenges include coupon savings and cart cowboying.

Song of the Week: (brought to you by CJ) Whiskey in the Jar, Metallica

Notable Accomplishments:  Carinne ordered six beers at the bar and only got charged for three of them. Bev found Carinne’s long lost sunglasses (and she has been rewarded by being FWNMOTW). AL has mastered the art of jury duty escapism; she was not chosen. UM survived a vicious game of Badminton. UM/CP rocked at Bocce last weekend. R JR/MM survived a wine tasting at Narcisi Winery. No FWN members have reported firework or alcohol related injuries from the holiday weekend. ~49 days until CJ returns.

Hypothetical Situation of the Week: What game show would you like to be a contestant on? Can be past or present. This does not include reality TV shows (so no survivor, biggest loser, dancing with the stars, etc. You will get vetoed and shunned if you try to pull that one.).

FWN Member of the Week: Bev!

Bev’s background is a collage of her children and Lana-dog (created by yours truly). This morning on the radio, she heard the song, “Hot Rod Lincoln,” and sang along every word. For breakfast, Bev planned on eating bagels and donuts. If she was fluent in any other language of her choice she’d pick Japanese, so she could understand them at Disneyworld when they said things other than “Meeky Mouse”.

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

Sparklers & Watermelon

Family Weekly Newsletter

Issue 17 Vol 2

Important Holidays: Independence Day, Chloe’s Birthday

Weather:  We’ll see a system of sparklers in the upcoming days in the area; just be wary that you don’t inadvertently burn any hair off. Also keep all firecrackers away from strollers and anything else flammable in a garage.

Urbandictionary word of the day: Running Latte

Running late for work/school because you stopped for coffee on the way.

Tracy would frequently be running latte, but because she’s a pro at maneuvering the Starbucks drive through, that rarely happens.

Song of the Week: Thriller, Michael Jackson

Notable Accomplishments:  Nate had a two mile open water swim. His time was 51 minutes, a huge improvement from the 1:07 from last year. Christine, Nicole, and Bev touched the Stanley Cup. Ron Sr & Jr and Bev talked to Kent Tekulve last night at the Pirates game. Most recipients of the newsletter are off tomorrow, woohoo! MM got a new computer, let’s see if she gets the newsletter on said new computer. Reports from facebook are in; as of Sunday UM was never drinking again (ever). ~57 days until Cam gets home.

Hypothetical Situation of the Week: You get a real life "get out of jail free" card. What does yours say? (ex, "get out of taxes free this year" card. AK mentioned in Issue 9 Vol 2, “Get a Beer Free” card) It only applies 1x, so it cannot be repeated.

FWN Member of the Week: Chloe!

Chloe’s homepage is google, and the last song she listened to on her iPod was Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show. Her shoe size is 7 and her favorite dessert is bread pudding with whiskey sauce.

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)
