Family Weekly Newsletter
Issue 43 Vol 1
Special Early Edition because the editor will be on holiday tomorrow
Important Holidays: None… do a shot anyway.
Weather: Bring out your black and gold kids, it's playoff season. Enjoy the last few weeks of football season as you won't get any more action until August!
Special New Years Weight Loss Section: Would anyone be interested in doing a FWN biggest loser challenge? From now until, say Valentine's Day. Weigh yourself now and then on Feb 12 (a reminder will be sent). Biggest percent loss wins – we'll do it honor code style (so you don't have to tell everyone your weight, but you can say the % you lost. So if Alex did it and said she'd lost 15% of her weight, we'd know she was lying, because she doesn't have 15% to lose). Anyway, Carinne will be doing it, even if she's the only one (woohoo guaranteed win in that scenario!).
Special "Get Green" Section: Carinne read in a magazine that using drain cleaners are very bad for the environment. They offered an alternative method. Since Carinne had a clogged drain, and all of the ingredients, she gave it a shot.
The recipe calls for ½ cup baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar. Carinne pulled these out, thought for a minute, and realized they looked familiar (ever make a volcano when you were little?). The instructions told her to pour the half cup of baking soda down the drain and then chase it with vinegar. After experimenting, she realized it was better to do it in smaller increments – a bit of baking soda, a bit of vinegar, a bit of baking soda, a bit of vinegar until you've used appx ½ cup of each. Yes you'll get some bubbling, but it'll take all the gunk in the drain with it.
After a few minutes, pour a pot of very hot water (the recipe said boiling; Carinne didn't want to do that to the pipes in the wintertime, so she just made it very very hot) down the drain to remove any residual baking soda.
IT WORKED!!!
Urbandictionary word of the day: faceboink
Hooking up with someone through a tentative relationship in an online community
So are they seeing each other now, or was it just a faceboink?
Song of the week: Spirit in the Sky, Norman Greenbaum
Notable Accomplishments: UM is on the front of this year's flyer for cigarfest! Very awesome. Carinne is frustrated because of all the "new years resolution" people at the gym. Every year, they gym is packed the first two weeks of Jan and then dwindles down through the first or second week of Feb. Until then, there are no machines for the typical gym-goers. Lame.
Hypothetical Situation of the Week: lasses: would you rather have a beer belly or be forced to watch every NFL game that you get on your cable TV every week (we're talking a good 15 hours of football every week) for a year?
laddies: would you rather carry a purse (not a manly one... it's obviously a woman's purse) or be a vegetarian for a year?
FWN Member of the Week: Ronno Junioro
Ron's first pets include a dog named Missy and a guinea pig named Rusty. The last time he showered was 11:17 this morning. If he could have anything in the world for lunch today, it would be HH wings and a salad. For lunch today, Ron is actually eating HH wings and a salad.
Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)
Classifieds: Alex is still available for hire! Will do any odd jobs! On this season's Biggest Loser, there is a team of two with the names "mike and ron".
Look for more next time,

Happy New Year
