hi from Wisconsin

rkdian · Post by **rkdian** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 6:24 am

I am an in-home daycare provider who cares for 10 children 6 days a week. I have been married for almost 25 years (Sept.). I have 2 adult children and one grandchild. Maybe I shouldn't admit this here, but Accountable is my first cousin. :p I grew up in Texas, but have lived in Wisconsin for 19 1/2 years. My son is a Marine reservist, so I am praying that deployment is not in our future, but knowing in my heart of hearts that it is. OOOORAH!!! My hobbies include kids, animals, kids, animals, ... I hate Wisconsin winters and look forward to retiring further south where no one season lasts more than 3 months.

Welcome to the garden. 10 kids in your daycare? Wow. A co-workers wife does that..she just has 4 right now, but hopes to get more soon.

Not to worry, we like Accountable here...so any cousin of our Acc is a friend of ours..jut don't mention I said that.

Where in Wisconsin do you reside ?

And more importantly are you a cheeze head ?

rkdian · Post by **rkdian** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 6:55 am

Wow!! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Apparently I need to share some of the secrets that I have on Acc, huh?! :yh_devil (I can't wait for him to see this!)

I don't have all 10 kids at once. When the early ones go home, others come to fill the spot. I am open 16 hrs. a day, Mon-Sat.

Sorry, but not a cheesehead! Grew up in TX, so, Cowboys fan! My true "passion" sport is baseball. Go Astros!!!!!!!!! I am in Prairie du Chien.

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 7:00 am

Prairie du Chien.

Ok that doesnt help much. :wah:

I used to live in Rice Lake and Ive played hockey all over the state. Minneapolis and Vikings guy here

I am about an hour south of La Crosse and an hour north of Dubuque, right on the Mississippi River. We are the second oldest town in Wisconsin (whoopie-doo).

I am glad that you are not a cheesehead! I thought that I was gonna get the old "traitor" bit, AGAIN!

Its nice down there. When I drive through Wisconsin and the bluffy areas Im always struck with a vision of Native Americans on horses.

And I seem to recall Menomonie being a shithole.

Drive thru?? Where are you from now and what do you do that you are driving thru?

It is beautiful here, but turn you clock back 100 years when you arrive from somewhere like Houston!

Patsy Warnick · Post by **Patsy Warnick** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 10:26 am

I am the B--ch..

The other day - I have the cell phone in one hand chatting with my Sis in Seattle,I come out the back door - this old ****, about to climb the fence whats his ball out of the pool.. So the ball is in my pool - I say its mine..

With the cell phone in one hand I use the skimmer net with the other hand and scoop the ball out of the pool for this cheap ****.

All the time I'm chatting with Sis - it was a play by play

Sis I have this golf pro hanging over my fence - I've done this before(scooping the ball from pool) due to all the pros golfing.!!

With one hand I scoop the ball and extend it to the cheap pro.

Old shits are looking for a Purse or a Nurse - I'm not volunteering for either..

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 10:32 am

:wah: Wow !

I give up looking for the ball if it doesnt just call my name.

Patsy Warnick · Post by **Patsy Warnick** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 10:35 am

I don't fetch either

By the looks of some of these "Pros" - wife kicked them out of the house for the day.:-2

I just want to point out that our family has a rare genetic disease that only affects the females. Turns them into pathological familial fibbers. You can believe anything they say except when discussing first cousins. :-3
