The official help KISH get to 1000 posts so he can make an ornament thread

I'm here. Sort of. Hey! Congrats on 2000 posts!!

I will second that as I close in on 1000. It is just a shame that it has taken me 5 years or so to do this.

Hey don't feel bad KISH ... it has taken me 6 years to reach 2000 Thanks guys!!

That just means that you are twice as fast as I am. Oh well, us northerners are just slow but sure.

Hey DD and Lynnie, only 144 more to go. DD, you should fix the pick so I get both of you for all of your help.

Kish, you make us so proud!! I'm sure we'll be most impressed when we see your ladder moves, however~~~~~~

Lynnie, I have been practicing my a$$ off and I have slimmed down some. I am now down to 225 instead of 235. It is all now lean muscle and the overalls fit great.;-);-)

Hmmmmm...I think I saw that you are about 80 something posts away from ornament making, so I thought I'd bump this up and get you moving in the right direction.

Thanks DD. I have slowly but surely been making my way up there. Where the heck you been. I have not seen you on too much??? I have been on a mini roll lately and I think only 84 or 85 away. Won't be much longer now. Thanks to all of you.

I've been lurking. When you hang out with Kitty, it rubs off.
But, I've been keeping up with you and watching that post count slowly climb. If history holds true, we've only got about 2 mos. to get you to the magic number. Now, if OL would just show up to do the deed once again, we'll be ornament makin' fools in just a few short weeks.

How is the Kitty? When will you be back to the beach? I am trying to put together a trip for next summer. No more weddings so that won't be a issue. As long as work stays steady we should be able to make it. It probably will be a much smaller crowd though. My daughter won't make the trip wigh a 6 month old baby and my younger son is hoping they get preggers by November so they are out. Mike( the son that got married is also trying) His new wife told him she is not getting any younger so let's get to trying. So that is 3 out of 4 kids not going. The other son has the 8 kids so I don't think he will make it so that just leaves us and her parents and a aunt and uncle.

wail hail, I guess DD gets a tiny break now and then. but your idea of lurking is cutting back a little. so, I'm not too worried. Do you think OL will make a return? Maybe someone else would be willing...


KISH - you're getting there. way to go dude.

Kitty's good as far as I know.
I am going to the beach in just a little less than two weeks. It's a big family wedding in PCB, so we'll be spending time in FWB, SoWal, and PCB. Think: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Yep.

Wow, KISH...your family population is gonna explode with all those babies!! And one already has 8 kids? Holy crap! Did I know this? Holy Crap!!

Yeah, I can never remain totally silent. Don't know about OL. I don't know if she even lurks. I'll send her a message on fb.

DD, I think I did tell you this but I will set the record straight. My daughter has 4, 3 girls and a boy and she is having a boy in January(Alexander) My oldest son has 1 from a previous marriage, he married a girl that had 5 and they have 2 between them. Their oldest daughter is due in the next 2 weeks.( I will be a great grandfather) My middle son just got married and they want kids as soon as possible. My youngest son married a girl with 1 and they have 1 between them and want to be pregnant by November. That will be a total of 16 abd I am only 55.

Holy Smokes, Kish! You're going to be a Great Grandfather? At this rate, it seems you could be a Great Great Grandfather by the time you are 73! That's quite impressive! I presume not everyone fits in the trailer so you should just go ahead and get on the road to Atlanta, then we'll go to Dallas to see DD.

I need to get started on some babies.....All Y'all have left me in the dust!

Lynnie, not to be forward but I could volunteer my services. And the ladder will fit on top of the trailer and I would leave call of the kids at home. There are just some things you want to do without them.

I have been out for a week or so..... finally getting to remodel after slab leak in July. Ready for it to be OVER already. My living room contains everything that belongs in my bedroom and two bathrooms. Tile guy was at the house until 10:00 tonight and will return in the morning at 9:00am. We have been sleepi ng on the couch for 6 maybe 7 days now, but who's counting. KISH you are doing great!!! Keep posting!

Only 74 more to go. Where are DD and Lynnie when you need them? Hey DD, maybe I scared Lynnie away with the preggers comment!! Hey COS, how you doin????

Kish, I don't scare that easily. I've just been busy, but I've got my eye on your post count! Let's start planning the ornament you're gonna create for some lucky person!

I'm here too. Work's been a mofo these past couple of weeks. Let's get you over the top...

Remember.....answer each question in a different post.

KISH, what is Santa bringing you?

DD, to be perfectly honest, I would just love to have the whole family together for the Holiday. It has been a number of years since this has happened and there is a ray of hope of it happening this year. That would be perfect.

Lynnie, just remember I volunteered forst and not D.T.I.
For the ornament, I think I have to wait to see who I get. If it is you or DD, I already have a great one in mind. It would be made out of bread dough so I can make different figures.

I hope it's gluten free!

Lynnie, they are made with salt and flour and tempra paint for colors. They are molded, baked and dipped in liquid plastic so they don't break or get moldy. We hang them on our tree and have some that are at least 20 years old. I will take some pictures and forward them to you when we pull them out.

KISH, I used to make them too, but never dipped them, just put shellac on them. In fact, I've made a few recently.
I think any of us would be fortunate to have a hand crafted KISH original!

KISH--what's your favorite Christmas tradition?

When the kids were younger and still at home, we used to line them up on the stairway and take a picture of them looking at the tree and presents with hungry eyes. We have a collage of them through the years framed that gets hung every year. I also used to read them the original Polar Express story before it was made into a movie. I have one of the original book sets with the cassette and the bell that you ring.

KISH, when do you put up your tree?
