Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Family Weekly Newsletter

Issue 20 Vol 4

 

Important Holidays: Nada – neglected from last week's: MM/P Anniversary

 

Weather:   Insolation is heat or radiation at the earth's surface. Give the earth a break and stay inside for a week – you're so hot your contributing to global warming. (This is a complimentary issue)

 

Urbandictionary word of the day: Manopause

 

1.      Man menopause (something men are 3x more likely to experience than women)

2.      Having your man pause the video game long enough to talk, run out to get milk, mow the lawn, etc.

 

Don't ask Nate to mow the lawn today. He won't manopause his videogame because it is manopause week. He only wants root beer and CoD.

 

Song of the Week: Endless Love, Diana Ross and Lionel Richie

 

Notable Accomplishments:  Cam and Poppy are out of the hospital and Tom is walking again.   Carinne got some sweet new wine glasses and a t-shirt from a winery. UM/T have a new addition to the family (puppy zoe!). Alex has completed her first semester of grad school and Lana got a new collar.

 

Hypothetical Situation of the Week:   Would you rather live

 

a)      In a tree house

b)      In a cave

c)      In a teepee (tipi)

d)      In an igloo

 

FWN Member of the Week: Nicole!

 

Nicole is not picky and likes most desserts. Her shampoo is light and fluffy and intended to eliminate frizz, but does not eliminate frizz. Given the choice of living in space or underwater, she'd pick space because floating in air sounds like a blast. Lastly, we already know Nicole's aunt tried to convince her to become a nun when she grew up, however we did not know she once told her aunt she wanted to grow up to be a stripper.

 

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

 

Classifieds: FYI- All Carinne has is her vehicle charger, meaning, her phone is dead a lot. Cheap seats in DC for the Steelers-Redskins preseason game in two weeks!

 

Look for more next time,

Weather:   Tornado! Of Jager that is. Open wide and take it all in!

 

Urbandictionary word of the day: Walmartarian

 

Shopping solely at Wal-Mart; acquiring everything from Walmart. After several months of practicing Walmartarianism, your house and personality becomes Walmartized. You may also want to google People of Walmart, to see if you are a featured customer.

 

Next week is going to be a West Side Store(y) Battle of Home Depotarians and Walmartarians in the KFC parking lot.

 

Song of the Week: Bill Withers, Lean On Me

So, pick a letter. Feel free to state which you think you should be in (Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Gryffindor).

MM's favorite reindeer is Rudolph, and if she had to dye her hair an unnatural color it would be pink. When growing up on the farm her favorite animals were the baby pigs. Lastly, her current shoes are croc flip flops.

Have Typewriter Will Travel

Family Weekly Newsletter
Special Early Edition due to Editor Travels
Issue 18 Vol 4

Important Holidays: Ma Birthday, Cam Birthday

Weather:   Dear Past Newsletter Reader: Beware, the funnel cake has trace elements of a drug that will make you want to run away and join the circus. Consider before devouring.
 Love, Future Newsletter Reader

Urbandictionary word of the day: Index Finger Discount

Stealing something is a five-finger discount. Index finger discount is illegally downloading.

Cam: How did you get the Barney collection on your computer background?
Nate: Attempted an index finger discount to get Rocky. Unfortunately, it was laced with a virus, a popup came that said, "If it Dies, it Dies," and now Barney is here forever, slowly sending my hard drive to insanity.

Song of the Week: Smoke on the Water, Deep Purple

Notable Accomplishments:  Nate did a great job at the horseshoe washer game last weekend. Carinne was sub-par at Beer Pong.

Hypothetical Situation of the Week:   Of course, you are a world renowned chef. Streets are lined with those excited to eat at your establishment. Your specialty is something you can actually currently make very well. It doesn't have to be fancy. People like it anyway.

For example, Alex may have Breakfast du Jour – Frosted Flakes tamed with 2% milk, served with a spoon. Or, CP – colorful, sugary gummi bears drizzled with tequila, aged overnight in Tupperware, a decadent barbeque treat.

FWN Member of the Week: Mum!

For lunch today, BK had a gyro. If she had to pick a new month for her birthday she'd pick October because it's so pretty. Given the choice of losing an arm or a leg, she answered 'leg' to this "very morbid question". Ma's favorite ice cream is chocolate chip cookie dough.

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

Sending an e-mail to someone by mistake. (The first e-mail was generated in USA)
