How sweet. Don't you love that? Connor was climbing up his window the other night ( I don't know why... I was in the other room) LOL and managed to break his blinds off the wall... he told me he would use his piggy bank to buy me new blinds :)

Awww... he is cute and sweet then... the things they say and do for us without even knowing it... I love it...

I should put THAT in the success form...

He he... there is more to come... wait till you gather all info... LOL

Does this resemble any of you gestating women?

LMAO... yes, this makes perfect sense to me... Loved it..

Connor asked me why my balls were so big... meaning my breasts... lol... I guess he's a real man after all... lol

Aww kids say the most hurtful things sometimes! I was looking after kids in a playscheme when I was about 17 and a 4 year old told me I wasn't allowed to wear a bra because my breast weren't big enough! Probably was repeating what her mum told her but I didn't think like that at the time.

I love it Em. That is great!

Out of the mouth of babes!

Giggle... is it 5:00 yet?

Enjoy your Friday!

You too sweet... have a good weekend..

Have a good weekend!

Boo

Boob...

I have never seen so many accounting questions on the boards as I have seen the last couple of days.

Boobs...

Where have you been? Eating all the chocolate mousse and brownies and pudding and not sharing any? ;)

Did you say someone's boobs are getting so big they are falling into the pudding?

Sorry guys... tucks the ladies away...

Torpedoes away!

He he... you girls...

Lol I was doing so good and now I'm rolling at the "torpedos away"... ROFL! My co workers are like, what are you reading...

Im off to get mine measured tomorrow the 38dd bras I bought two months ago are somewhat snug :eek:

I can not even imagine... Im just in a D now... and that's big for me... LOL

I grew like crazy with millie but stopped at 38d this time you see my boobs before my bump lol

I was an a cup before connor a C cup after, a high b cup after losing weight, and now back up to D... lol... Id be happy to come back to a c after this one, and not loose it... ;) hubby wouldn't mind either :D

LOL no bens rather enamoured with them at the moment lol not sure he believes his luck.

I feel smallllll...

Giggle... men.

Start your sat there feeling them??

YES! Actually I held the both in my hands... and ohhhh...
I am laughing so hard... tears are streaming down my cheeks...

Oh dear, now we're on to fondling... I mean, mine fell out on accident, I wasn't sitting there rubbing them in the open... ;)

Giggle oh my oh my

Oh geeze... you girls... I... never mind

Giggle you started it start lol

Hehe you had to figure we would take off from there... lol..

Oh, the woes of 4 hours of sleep in over 36 hours. But I am still high off my clinical experience.

Poor dear... get some rest!

I would absolutely LOVE to get some rest. But hubby is sick. He slept all day yesterday, went to bed with me last night at 2am and is still sleeping. Someone has to take care of this kiddos, LOL

Aww... let them fend for themselves... survival of the fittest!!

Did you see any babies? J, did you?

Umm, I saw many many babies

From 9 pounds all the way down to 1 1/2 pound premie twins.

Are the twins going to be OK?
I can never get that pounds measurement right... more familiar with kgs

FB, I would like to get more in depth. I am still so excited. But due to the privacy laws here in the states, I really cannot say anymore other than they made it through delivery.

Oh OK,
I get it.. :)

Well from experience I can say the twins will pull through with lots and lots of tlc me nephew was only a pound in weight and is now 13 millie was 2lbs 9oz and 8 weeks early fb and she is just fine now.
A mum on my mums due jan board has just given birth to her little boy he was 1lb 7 oz and she was only 23 weeks pregnant there is hope its small but its hope all the same.

Good evening J... I hope your night is going good... I am about to tuck in the wee ones... Good night!

LOL, I am having REVERSE tiredness. LOL

I spent a few days with only 4 hours sleep, then Friday night and Saturday night I got 12 hours.

I'll get it straightened out here soon I hope. Ahhhh the life of a nursing student.

Give the wee ones a hug from Auntie J.

Sure will, they love hugs. They went and got themselves all done up... I got a new scheme going, 5 nights of good nights equals a dollar for the dollar tree... no slip ups since school started... has been wonderful.
You have to be whooped... I wouldn't be able to do it...
I packed all day, ran out of everything I needed to get anymore done, so I am done for now... Good night, unless I see you on later

Goodness is it really Monday already?

Fraid so :( flipping wish it wasn't mind you we had quite a nice weekend.

I had a great weekend, which is why I did not want it to end.
How is Millie feeling? And you?

Millie seems OK her ear is still leeking though and she has more anti b's so we shall see :( me I feel OK just tierd and achey my pelvic bones are softening and heck its painfull lol

How about you?

I never wanted to weekend to end... it was a beautiful fall weekend here... there is even some color change already :)

Its my last week of work at hell... :D

Millie seems ok her ear is still leeking though and she has more anti b's so we shall see :( me i feel ok just tierd and achey my pelvic bones are softening and heck its painfull lol

How about you??


Doing good. It is chilly here today, but I love wearing my new school clothes. Good to hear that Millie is doing better. Can you take anything for your pain?

Monday means no more packing or moving... I like this Monday! Good morning!

Oh no CBW - I'm sorry your hurting...

Start - that is awesome for you!

Tuscany-I love bringing out the fall clothes (and shopping for new ones) :)

I want to go shopping but I haven't the time... doritos and arm deoderant is as far as I got this weekend... LOL

Wow that's quite a combination... if you threw some condoms and reynolds wrap in there, the cashier would have been very confused... LOL

Yawn I just woke up from a nap, as for my pain ill have this now till little ones born :( ill get over it eventually tee hee.
All we did this weekend was shop and sleep it was lovely :D Bought lots of lovely stuff for millie ready for her birthday.

Yes, just like when I go get tampons, smokes, and drinks... LOL

The one that used to get me in my checkout girl days was, muscle rub, cucumber and a bottle of wine bought by a women once a week...

Hehe... I think she needed a rabbit... lol

Oh I bet y9ou had fun shopping for Millie. Thomas had a blast in toys r us looking for the perfect thing for Connor... I had a blast buying him new fall clothes..

It was a tigger and pooh hunt lol a full on hunt at that.

Ooh the thing you showed the other day, that was awesome.

What am I going to do for christmas... we will have 5 kids... OMgoodness... 5 kids...

Ah that will be here tomorrow I'm putting that away for christmas, I bought her a little flight bag with a handle and wheels with pooh and tigger on so we filled it with pooh and tigger things and we bought her an easel and art bits my mum and sister are sending me vouchers for her so I can hopefully buy her one of these - Electronic Instrument Toys - Early Learning Centre (http://www.elc.co.uk/toy-42923) and today her table and stool arrived she has been sat at it all day doing her drawing hehehehe.

Aww that piano is so cool... I bet she is as happy as can be at her little table...

Start- layaway... LOL that's what I have to do with 15 neices and nephews...

Oh I love the piano CBW... that is too cute. I can just see her now.
NOPE... Al, I am going with the knitted socks... LOL maybe even two pair...

Hehehehehe she loves pianos and says it so well at the moment she makes me draw them and pretends to play soon she will have her own I seriously need to get her new room sorted so I can get all these toys up stairs lol

This may sound funny... We don't have many toys, I mean blocks and lincold logs, tons of books, that sort of thing, there are so many kids in this darn house that they kind of keep each other occupied. Millie may decide to ignore her toys when Theo comes... that is what happened to Grady and Davy... and Jett... Now all three of them can sit on their buns and make lego towns... I just love those nights when they sit there for a couple maybe even a few hours to get it just perfect... I am way off subject but it popped into my head! Hugs...

Millie isn't a player she never has been she is a thinker she loves books and drawing we sit for hours together like that even when we go to groups she sits and watches them all or sits with all the books she isn't interested in noise or animated play she likes doing thoughtfull things she signs all her words as well as speaks them at the moment she is into music and loves to plat with the piano at mimmys so my mum suggested she have her own this is her last birthday on her own we are going to enjoy it and make the most of it I couldn't care less if she never plays with any of it again lol just the enjoyment of the day will be enough.

Lol... Connor is the same, he would rather sit and sing along to his radio or color, but I felt the same as you CBW, it was his last year alone, and I want it to be special..

LOL... I play the piano, so he has been on it since he was old enough to hold his head up. Once I get him trained on his notes and scales, I'm hoping he will pick an instrument he wants to play. My hubby plays sax, and Bass, and I play guitar off and on. The best thing about teaching your child piano, is that once they learn it, they can pick up any other instrument and learn it quickly... I think she will love it.

Now that is funny!

My hands were never big enough to learn to play anything I couldn't separate my fingers enough so I'm really hoping millie doesn't have the same problem I certainly will be encouraging her with the piano all of bens family are musical.

There are exercises that can improve the finger span... but with a musical family, IM sure she will find her place then... I think music is the best gift we can give our kids, regardless of whether they play it or sing it... or just like to listen... :)

Start - we used to do a christmas of giving handmade gifts... I try to do this still with my siblings...

Yes, but the kids like the bought. I think I am going to do handmade again this year and then Dus and I will have to make a limit for the kids... Thanks.
I got a piano for free on craigslist... it is so cool, all of the kids touch it daily, no lessons yet, but we will see. Max wants to play the guitar, harmnica, or the trumpet. He is four... he is a wonderful singer and he sings with his mom all day!

Awesome! That was a lucky find. I see them come and go on cheapcycle on occasion... we have a keyboard in the basement and my grandmothers piano in storage until I find the right place for it.

This was a mans grandmothers piano, I don't know how we are going to move it this weekend, it took four big ole men to get it in the living room... It is just a small on but dang it is heavy!

Lol, yes they tend to be heavy.. I actually think the small ones are heavier LOL

Last week at the job... are they staring at you? LOL

Who?

Your co workers silly... J/K anyway. I wonder if you are full of excitement and curiosity to start the new job??

Lol sorry brain fart... no they keep trying to give me more work... LOL I keep refusing it. Im excited and a bit nervous about the new routine... im hoping it doesn't effect Connor for the worse...

:D No, don't say that. It will all be weird at first, you ALL will get the hang of it so don't worry about it being hard at first...

You will be fine Al as long as your positive Connor will be absolutely fine too.

Thanks :) that's reassuring.

Just remember they pick up on our emotions give it two weeks and you will all be sorted and in a settled routine.

Yes, two weeks, I say should be real good. I am going to need two weeks too, this commotion is going to kill me!

Thanks, I've never changed positions before... I have worked for this company since I graduated high school... the last job I worked was one while I was in high school at the local movie theatre... lol so I don't think that counts...

I know he picks up on my mood, I'm more worried about the desocialization that may occur from removing him from daycare... and of course keeping him on his schedule, I don't want to change that if I can help it...

You do what's right and keep all as normal as possible just talk to him Al he is as the age where at least you can explain things to him just remember to keep it simple and enjoy the experience.

Thanks. :)

Wow! I think the site just burped again...

Yes it did... the site did!!

I think CBW's comp is still burping... LOL. ;)

LOL no I kept pushing post giggle I was being impatient tee hee

LOl.. I've done that before :)

He he... you girls... I have to say that today is good. I can't believe this is Monday. No more comotion and it feels great.
Al, you are wonderful, you will be doing great things... I can't wait to hear about how it is all going once you get started.

I bet you are so relieved to finally have it all finished...

OOHHHHH! I am not done, just all the stupid nik naks and little furn... the bath is done almost cause we still need to use it. The kids room, well, I will tackle those Thursday. I need more boxes... and tape and hands!!

I'll come help :D I love to pack :D but then I'm obsessive compulsive, so.. its like my dream... LOL. You should have seen me, I was so excited yesterday doing the measurments and tape for the second color and chari rail in the baby's room... lol. My hubby was making fun of me and my yardstick and painters tape.

LOL... if you were here you would see devistation and crazyness... I am so ready to move in next week end! I am going to bake a rhubarb pie that Shygrneyes posted! MMMMM, yummy

I'm not a big fan of that kind of pie... but I understand the desire.. ;)

With strawberries... that is my desire!

Mm strawberries... I want a milkshake..

Smoothy would be nicer strawberrys, raspberrys and fresh orange slurp

Mmm.. im going to have to hit smoothie king on the way home...

Author Robert Jordan dies - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070917/ap_on_en_ot/obit_jordan;_ylt=AugPGwWIC3SNF76LsAeiMW0DW7oF)


Robert Jordan died. I'm so upset.

:( sorry synn I have no idea who he is

I saw this, my husband was a big fan of his books. Sad, he was young...

Sorry Synn... I don't know him either.

He didn't finish the damned books!

i'm so upset.

Aren't you supposed to be working?

Yeah.

I don't Want to though!

/stamps her foot

Extra hard stomping is great... that is my intimidation stance... people laugh at me for it though.
Synn, I am sorry he didn't finish the book, I wonder if someone will try to do it for him? Is that possible?

LOL they pay your wages now be a good girl and do the work

I remember being terrified that JK Rowling would die an untimely death before finishing the last HP book... it was a recurrant nightmare I had... I can't even imagine it really happening, I'm sorry.

I think they have someone that may be able to work on it.

I've been reading the series since 1990. 11 books out (12 if you count the short novella "new Spring") and the next was to be the last. I know that averages out to be 1.5 years between books, but I know of a couple times I waited 3 years for a new book.

It just makes me sad... the man had a really brilliant mind.

Where is everyone hiding today? Are we playing hide and seek? ::claps hands and runs behind a bush in the garden:: :D

Extra hard stomping is great.....that is my intimidation stance...people laugh at me for it though.
Synn, i am sorry he didn't finish the book, i wonder if someone will try to do it for him? Is that possible?

I think it is possible. My sister is a writer and she has ghosted some work for a publisher that the writer either gave up on refused to finish. I think it would be in his contract whether they could develop any unfinished work.

Good morning ladies. Yes, I thought that I had heard of that before Em... I am more interested in your nephew's (cousins?) talents though! LOL

He is going in the US Army. Can't wait until he shows his stuff to the DI. He'll be cleaning toilets with his toothbrush.

Giggle... I think every man at one time or another played a mean armpit...

But... why can't I?

LOL... I never have tried.

I am such a dork... Davy and the boys have farting contest... I don't do that but when it comes to the armpits... I have been practicing my whole life... and NOTHING...

Ello you lot not stopping can't be bothered today xx hope your all well xx

Hi and bye! Have a good one CBW!

But...why can't I?

I stopped being able to do it when my boobs got big.

Yea, I've noticed the same problem. Time to start running again.

Cute, mag, cute...

This is my hug to you all

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/NIM/ARM554~Bearcub-Hug-Posters.jpg

CBW, that picture goes right to my heart... really does. I am thinking of you.

Good morning all...

Morning Al, Morning Shattered the picture just kind of made me warm and fuzzy and thought it was rather fitting with the day.

Loves and hugs to you all xxxx

Thanks. It was sweet.

Hello, everyone. I'm still reeling from the news yesterday about Sarai.

You aren't the only one Em this will be raw for many people for weeks even months :(

Oh my goodness Guys. I just read that post. I can't believe it. I could just cry and cry right now. I just loved that girl... and she was so young... with the baby too...

I know Tus darling I know try not to cry Sarai really wouldn't have wanted it

She told me to shut up last night when I was outside talking to myself I could so hear her... so we should just be happy... she didn't suffer and she was so happy right before it happened... she was on her way to love...

The stars will shine brighter now because she is there.

Oh yes they are! You sweety...

Does anyone now how to get a card or something to her family? I feel like I should do something. She touched so many lives on this board.

There are things in life that just shouldn't happen and this is most definitely one of them.

Yes, we have to respect her privacy! We can show our love here for her!

There was a quote I saw that said something like the good ones are taken from us because they are just too good to stay here.. I like that. I hope her family finds solace quickly.

Ok who is up for hiring a gang of massues's to rub us girls down my heck do I need to de stress...

Me too... my doc has me on watch due to my contractions lately... if it continues Ill be on bedrest... :( I start the new job on Tuesday...

Im just turning into a bloater, I'm trying my damdest not to stress and get myself past 32 weeks my god we will party if we even get to 36.
You my dear Al need to take it easy there's plenty of time to do stuff we have ages yet.

I know, you know me though, Ill obsess over the details till the last minute, I'm never too prepared. Im trying to settle though. I am hoping it will be easier once the new job starts, but probably not... lol.

No you will no doubt be flapping like a crazy bird then too honestly women chill out its not worth the next few months in bed because they will make you do it even if it means hospitalisiation and you sure as hell don't want to go through the prem thing.

No I don't you are right... its hard though, my husband is not a great housekeeper... lol. Im having a hard time, because this pregnancy is far different from the others... but I suppose it won't kill me to take it easy for a week or so. We should all book mani/pedis someplace... lol...

No not just a few weeks just slow down before they make you slow down listen to them they mean what they say I've been there I ignored it and look what happened to me.
Take the warning now and do as they say as for hubby well at least he helps you can supervise with your finger to point lol

Giggle... you are right. Ill take it easy... I promise. Thanks. For some reason its more believable coming from someone who's been there than from the doc... sometimes, they seem a little too overprotective... but thanks. I actually think I may take the rest of the day off, as IM not feeling too peachy and I thinnk the baby flipped as I'm pretty achy down south.

Please do Al go stop at the store buy yourself something good to eat and go sit with connor in front of the TV and put your feet up.

Al, CBW is right on target as always. Let yourself rest while you have the CHOICE. If you don't rest... well, bad things can happen.

J I need to talk to you real badly can you open msn?

Opening, hold on sweetie

Thanks all.im home now, ill make hubby worry about dinner tonight. Probably won't be on much longer, g night

Just wanted to say that I love you ladies.

I don't wany you to have any doubts about it.

Thanks for being great friends, even though I can't pop in as often as I used to.

:D Synn you know we love you hunny my little chocolate pudding lover...

Bah, I don't even LIKE chocolate.

I just like the idea of you in pudding ;)

If you don't eat your meat, you can't have your pudding.

How can you have your pudding if you don't eat your meat?

That's what i meant.

Eeewww...

LMAO. I missed my Magpie!!

You guys are gross... how about that PM...

What's a PM? Post Menstral?

Pre Menstral?

I don't want any part of it. Almost got killed once because of that!

Post Menopausal!! Get it right Maggie!

Yea, that almost got me killed once.

Actually more than once. I'm just too fast.

You're just good Mag. LMAO!!

That's what they all said... right before they decided that I would be better off dead. Or, they would be better off with me dead. Whatever!

No Mag, we are better off with you alive. Now, I can think of some Asians I would like to... NM, I am a little too irate right now. I have to get up in 5 hours and can't function on less than 8 hours sleep. Bless the souls that give birth tomorrow. I'll keep my mouth shut.

Do what I do, don't hold back.

Oh, boy I let go. Do I feel bad? NO!!

I'll get a reddie, but it will add to my Christmasy look. LOL

Wow... I missed a lot.. I just got out of a little trip to the labor and delivery wing of the hospital... contractions never eased up, doc pulled me in and hooked me to the monitor... not on bedrest yet, as they think its just baby's position and the contractions seemed to be just Braxton Hicks, but I'm still on watch... and def. more cautious... im going to bed, it was a long night and the hospital lights have given me a headache... thanks for the advice earlier girls.

Then I guess you will miss our trip to Canada to torture and burn the witch. I will bring you back and ear.

And a finger...
I hope you pregnant girls are OK... not too much stress for the babies...

Then I guess you will miss our trip to Canada to torture and burn the witch. I will bring you back and ear.

I WANT THE BIG TOE!! Makes a nice key chain!!

Hey now... we witches aren't ALL bad!

You are the only "cool" witch I want to know...

What's funny about that, Start, is that I bet you know at LEAST 2 other Witches/Wiccans.

We just tend to be pretty quiet about it generally. I don't talk about it much IRL, because people get very weird about it--like I'm going to curse them or something.

All I know... is that who I know, I love.. so you just do what you have to do to be you! And please do not curse me. Thank you and that is all... Are you laughing at me?

I've never done a curse in my life, Start.

The Karma is a on stuff like that.

I need bed--just now catching up on this evening's drama, though. /sigh... now THERE is a case where Karma is going to bite someone in the rear end.

I believe you... and I was joking when I asked you not to curse me... That is funny that people actually think that. I guess not knowing probably freaks them out a bit. This is a pretty weird night... GO KARMA GO! Nighty night... sweet dreams!

All I can say is I FU##ING knew it I even told start as soon as I read it when it was posted sick is what it is very very sick.

All i can say is i FU##ING knew it i even told start as soon as i read it when it was posted sick is what it is very very sick.

It is sick. I'm sorry this happened, you were so loving and caring.

NS I'm a great believer in what goes around come around I'm not angry I'm sad that someone could play such a revolting trick.

I most definitely believe that too. It was a terrible thing to do.

I didn't mean to butt into your thread, I just wanted to tell you I was sorry because whether you believed it or not, you were very nice to everyone. Very caring.

Don't say that its not my thred anyone can post here and after all we should all be supporting one another this will have caused a lot of hurt and strained feelings but I don't want anyone to feel they can't post here because you can all of you can.

She told me to shut up last night when I was outside talking to myself I could so hear her....so we should just be happy.....she didn't suffer and she was soo happy right before it happened....she was on her way to love.....

I did not know her for long, but I mourn.. Something just does not feel right, and it will take me a while to adjust.
I am glad that she had high hopes and goals.. and not depressed. That's a little solace.

Sarai and Shayla.. miss you.

Oh my word Chery do you know that the whole thing was a lie?

NS im a great believer in what goes around come around im not angry im sad that someone could play such a revolting trick.

OK.. I missed something. Again. Does anyone feel like filling me in, please?

I will miss a lot more starting next week. Will be in hospital again, this time for possible lung cancer. It is a hard pill to swallow, especially being alone and not having someone there to hold me when I'm down. (My BF is not the emotional, romantic or supportive type) I am also terribly frightened and feel absolutely helpless and powerless right now.

So.. Calling All Good Witches!! Please send me some good vibrations.

Thanks.

I was suspiscious from the start as well... When you all go to the burning... bring me an eye... they are my fave :)..

Poor dear... we are all here cheering you on, and I will send you all the good wishes I can and some cyber cookies if it helps... :)

Yep Al what did we discuss Tuesday night... ah well its done now over and sorted.

Chery darling we are with you every step of the way next week xxxxx

Thanks CBW, I love good old fashioned peanut butter cookies and naturally the world famous chocolate-chip. So.. nothing special.

The one thing that does bother me right now is not being able to take my laptop with me. I get so darned bored in hospital beds. I plan on letting them do the tests and then get the heck out. Don't even plan on chemo or any other therapy. I don't believe in swapping one painful issue with a more painful treatment just to prolong time without quality. This may sound wrong, but I've felt this way for a long time.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_14_6.gifBeing angry and not knowing what or who to be angry at is frustrating!!

It doesn't seem wrong... I know a lot of people who think the same a s you... They want to live life feeling good, than living life in a hospital room... Everyone has a right to do what they will with their life.

I so totally agree! You have my unending support, for what it's worth.

Poor dear...we are all here cheering you on, and I will send you all the good wishes I can and some cyber cookies if it helps... :)
Thanks so much 'angel'.
Cyber cookies - what do they taste like? Can you send me a picture of some? My imagination is going wild at this point. Now, wishes.. those I like. You be surprised how many times I've said "I wish..." these last few days.

Well, I'm going to stop crying now and see if there are any posts that I can interject a little to get my mind off 'me' for a bit. I still have that to offer.

C.U.on the forum.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_11_2.gifWould you believe that I'm even having a hard time in picking the smileys to fit my current emotions? This sucks!

I so totally agree! You have my unending support, for what it's worth.

Believe me Cap.. your support means a hell of a lot to me. This is my FAMILY and I wouldn't know what to do without you all.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_4.gifI'm feeling so sorry for myself right now, I'm out of tears. I need to focus on something else for a while.

OK.. I missed something. Again. Does anyone feel like filling me in, please?

Oh sweet... what can I do? Here is a good vibration... from me to you...
You are not alone here!

We all need to focuas on ourselves every so often... im learning that too.. :)

Chery - I am in training right now, so I can't actually DO anything for you but pray. I'm under severe constraints for any kind of spell or energy use.

HOWEVER - whatever faith you are, this Sunday is the Equinox, the beginning of Autumn. A lot of people think of that as an end time, but it's NOT-- it's a time for change and renewal. If you can, sit yourself down in the sun on Sunday and count your blessings--they tend to multiply as you count them.

If I could be there to help you, and to hold your hand while you are going through this difficult time, I would--in a heartbeat.

Please let me know if there is anything at all I can do to help you. Sometimes a phone call to an almost-stranger can help, because they have no preconceived ideas of "you".

May the Lady ease your sorrow, and may the Lord hold you in his arms and comfort you.

Can someone bring me up to speed. I have been on the retirement committee for one of our beloved employees that is leaving tomorrow and I haven't been able to keep up.

Is Sarai OK? Is that what the burning field trip is about? I know several wiccans...

She's alive but that doesn't mean she's OK...

She fooled us all EM in some sort of sick high school style prank... its sad.

Whoa someone fill me in on what happened... I logged off yesterday and Shayla and Saraii were killed in a car accident... now what happened?

So Sarai staged the whole thing herself?

Her and canadasweety were in cahoots. The whole thing a sick cruel perversion.

WHAT!? How can someone do that?!

WHAT!?!?! How can someone do that?!!?!?
"How" is easy... I just can't understand why...

No accident, nothing... it was a sad play on innocent people's emotions... some I fear will be forever changed by it... sick.

So, they have been banned? It sounds like a desperate need for attention.

Who discovered the truth?

Several of us saw something not right and J_9 got to the bottom of it.
**edit** Her and her Hardy girls! LOL

Amen! They are good detectives!

Now I have gone to feeling crappy that I lost an online friend to feeling crappy by being played by an online friend.

I hope it was worth it to her. She lost the friendship and respect of a lot of people.

Great Question Em. Have they been banned? CBW what does Ben say?

Great work Nancy Drew and gang.

Makes me sad though, to think that someone would think that it is OK to play on people's emotions like that.

My 'sentiments' exctly. And I think it is absolutely justified to be both sad and mad.

Whereabouts are you in Germany, Chery? My husband was stationed in Stuttgart for 2 years. I got to visit, but didn't live there. It is so picturesque and beautiful.

I do believe both of those losers are toasted and out by the curb now... good riddance!

Right the fish mongouring needs to stop there's a lot more to this than what you all saw last night and in previous days those that know, know those that don't won't simple as answers will never be given apologies never be spoken I for one wouldn't hear them anyway.
It's over folks there are people hurting lets stop this now before it gets way out of hand if you wish to discuss it amounst yourself do so in pm's not where new members can see it.

Good idea, CBW.

Any Survivor watchers in here?

I agree CBW and Em-

My students this year are absolutely amazing. We are doing a project using Kid Nation (the new TV show) and their insight and discussions have impressed me so much today. Sometimes they just amaze me.

School photos are today at my daughter's school. I asked her what she wanted to wear and she told me anything that makes her look "extra cute!" She is not conceited - just convinced.

Wow that is early for school pictures. So what did she wear Em? Hey did you make it to Jamestown this summer?

I was supposed to go there with my sister in law, but she got a lead on a beach house in the Outerbanks so we went there instead.

I will probably go out this fall sometime, Tuscany. I avoid the tourist areas during the season. Virginia is beautiful in the fall.

Thank you ladys feel free to c+p that post if anyone else comes in asking xx

I will be there the weekend of Oct. 20th. Going back down to see her and my nephew. Its not a bad trip that time of year. The colors in PA and VA are great then. I think we are just hanging out in Fredricksburg then.


No problem CBW. How are you and Millie today?

In Landstuhl, where the US Army Hospital is.. I worked there almost all of my adult life. It's also near Ramstein Air Base, I'm sure you've heard of it, even if just in the movies i.e. Air Force Once and a few more.

Another main german city 15 minutes away on the Autobahn, is Kaiserslautern. Here's a link to the US Community Newspaper from there. It will let you know what's going on in the area.

I caught a small shark outside of Harris Neck a long long time ago. While stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia, we traveled a bit and I enjoyed it except for the sand fleas on the shores.

Al i hope your doing as your told though and not pushing yourself

I am I'm taking it easy... I almost called in today, but there is just too much to finish. I hope Millie feels better soon, poor little sprite, those ear problems are the worse..

Start - Im OK, just a rude awakening that I need to slow down is all...

Yup... all the way down and get your stuff in the right order so you can concentrate.
You have a big week coming up and that little baby (we can all hope he isn't 400 lbs)

Oh boy... there you go... just do what CBW tells you sweet.

Al.. listen up and do as you're told!

Have you got that, or do you need it in stereo. If you don't take care, how can you expect your body to behave and take care of you or the little one?

Now.. after all that is said.
