Since we are still alternating between "As the Mini turns..." and how short or tall people go through life!

Where are all the "normal" height people. Are you all afraid to admit the small and tall comments that you have used for years

While we are waiting..

Lets hear it from the "normal" folks!

By the time this thread ends we should vote for the best "animated GIF" - should we do categories and give out awards???? Seems a shame to ignore all the artistic talent we have all displayed...

I just removed all the snow off the driveway so I up going to claim #89. I hate plows that bury the end of my driveway after I am done

Actually (sinces its about 12 degrees outside), I think a nice wee dram of Scotch is really in order!

Cheers all...

reaching up on the wall,,taking # 88,, pops the lid and takes a nice long slow chug....aaaaah! I am 5'8" which used to be tall for a girl. Now I don't feel so big but I was scarred for life in high school when -with heels on- I was taller than most of the guys- My son is 6'6" and has:
1)walked into a fan light
2)got stuck walking down an aisle on a commercial flight- his shoulders got caught between the luggage bins
3) was asked to demonstrate Kirby vacuum cleaners on his knees sos not to be so intimidating to the " little lady of the house"
I have been following this thread and I totally do believe thatApple has a friendly grandmother who is delivering a classic mini and after reading the thread today and finding out that skillet HAS NO INTERNET ACCESS UNLESS AT WORK cannot believe his luck on finding the OP and getting first dibs on the classic!! Oh h*ll,,, Big Norm grab me beer # 87 too, would ya?? And pass the popcorn

Monday update: Nothing new as of yet...Still no pics, have not been e-mailed or PM'd. Still waiting

I could kick myself for forgetting the Otto's event this weekend, and I think Holly is the greatest, she has been so patient and helpful during the flirting, ordering and waiting processes....! I live in Drexel Hill,,, if you know where that is? And yes, that is in Pa.
I am sure that we will meet up in the near future.
When will we see pictures of Otto's Christmas Mini Event??
My baby is supposed to hit the New York VDC on Friday...eeeeeeeekkkkk!

Big Norm - Drinking on the overnight shift

I'll take Southwest BBQ Chicken Pizza or Philly Cheese Steak Pizza - Popcorn is getting a little old

NEWCASTLE - Whatever happened to a pint of Banks's Best Bitter, but I suppose its a little tough to keep draft beer on the wall.

Hope that wall is up in MI - otherwise our beer is going to get too warm or stale with all this waiting

Hi everyone!

Daily check in...

Nothing yet? Skillet... I see that you're eating pizza. Thanks for the update. Please remember to check in regularly so we don't have to... well... hurt you. You want me to talk to her? I only "look" harmless.

Can't stay long... got LOTS of stuff to do to get my Cooper cake ready for tonight.

I see that the beer is starting to run low. Can I be honest? I really can't stand the taste or smell of beer. May I please have a good ol' girly

APPLE-tini?

Bye!
