Have a great time Stringer!!:)


Thanks.

Leaving... NOW... no NOW... no NOW... K... bye.

It snowed here to. Hey Starty, want to have a snow ball fight? ;)

It snowed here to. Hey Starty, wanna have a snow ball fight? ;)


YES!!

I'm sending one your way, heads up! :)

Hello everyone, hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
Have a great week!

Hi Akae. The wonderful week doesn't look like a possibility, we've gotten a huge dump of snow, YUK.

Having said that, I hope that your weekend was wonderful and that the upcoming week is great too. :)

Atlenweg, I know which part of Canada got the snow. This part of Canada it was in double digits and smog alerts imagine that lol.

Akae, you and everybody have a great week as well. (;

Hi alty! Goodness more snow!
Hi Joe!! Haven't seen you in a few.:D

Hello, sitting here pondering tomorrow... Monday, don't really care for Mondays. Maybe it is just the name "Monday." I wonder... if we change the name to something else would that make this first work day of the week more pleasant? Any suggestions...

Possibly; Funday, Playday, Someday, Niceday, Takeiteasyday, Leaveearlyday, Stayinbedday..

Stringer

Could you Canadians please keep your snow up there. It over shot into Idaho and dumped on me and I want it to be summer... OK!

Stringer, you gotme cracking up, I like all the other names for your Monday! HAHAHAHA
Ya, you Canadians, we got a few inches and I woke up to white... I want SUMMER too!!

Us Canadians? I didn't realize we controlled the weather, darn, I'm always the last to know. If only I had those kinds of powers, boy would you all be in trouble. Muwahahaha ;)

Grrrr... no more snow! Nighty night Alty:) you need your rest tomorrow is MONDAY!!

I need a sled, that's what I need. I don't even know if the buses are running tomorrow. It's not that cold but the roads are really slick right now. The kids are praying for a snow day.

Nighty night Starty, sleep tight, don't let the snow man bite. Hee, hee. :)

Ok!. SPRING HAS FINALLY COME TO CHICAGO!!

Blue skies with perfectly shaped little white puffy cumulus clouds moving slowly across the sky, AND 74 yesterday and 76 degrees today. The wind was warm, tulips, dogwoods are blooming with beautiful, colorful flowers--wonderful. I worked in the yard, even went and bought a new key start lawn mower. Damn, it is so beautiful and clean... I don't even want to use it and mess it up.

Finally... I earned this spring... and damn it, I am going to enjoy it..

I earned spring, I really did, where is it?

I have only myself to blame, I put all the winter stuff away, I should know better by now. This weather sucks, it truly does. I don't even know how many inches of snow we got but believe you me it's allot. I think I'm going to put the Christmas tree up tomorrow, just so I can feel festive. ;)

Alty... "this too shall pass........":)

I hope so Stringer, but I honestly thought that the last dump of snow was the last dump this year. Guess they showed me didn't they? Ha, ha, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, shame on me, sob. I hate snow!

Anyway, how are you sweet Stringer? I saw your ideas about Monday, personally I think we should just skip it all together, what do you think of that? Or it could be Thirdday, meaning the third day of the weekend. ;)

I am fine, thanks Alty. I am in my own little piece of heaven with my new key start, self propelled, mulch or bag collector, mower. It is matted black with dull gray trim and is shaped like a race car! Sorry... could be a guy thing... doesn't matter... I am in love. I put it together, shined it up, went and bought some fresh gas (can't put old gasoline in a new mower you know), and have that baby put on charge over night. Believe it or not, last Wednesday we had no grass, in the last three days it is over 5 inches high already! But I am ready, BOY... am I ready!

Stringer ( I know, I know, a simple thing like this can get a guy going... well... yeah.)

Ok old friends and new, I am checking out for the night... tomorrow comes earlier and earlier it seems.

Alty, I like the three day weekend a lot!

And Start, glad you liked my "new" names for Mondays... you name a few...

Stringer (night all)

Right now a snow blower would get me going. I don't care what color it is or how big just as long as it can blow the snow away. Sorry, I'm still on the whole snow thing. ;)

Congrats on your new toy Stringer, are you actually going to use it or just admire it from afar? If you're anything like my hubby you'll wash it every time you use it and shine it up so it still looks new. You men are to cute. :)

Right!. I am probably going to wash it, pat it dry, wax it and... where is that camera?

Hi People,
Hope Alls going well in your part/s of the world.

Hi Firm, yes it is pretty much...

And in yours?

More SNOW!

Need I say more? ;)

Hiya... how are we doing today?

Stringer... did you get out and enjoy the sun today? It sure has been a beautiful one, huh?

Hiya....how are we doing today??

Stringer......did you get out and enjoy the sun today?? It sure has been a beautiful one, huh?

YES Hon it was absolutely beautiful just like yesterday, love it, love it, love it! I feel 20 years younger hon. Did you see? I got a new lawn mower!! It is beautiful, Craftsman, key start, self propelled, black with muted gray trim, looks like a racing car! I think I am going to wax it, yeah just so the grass won't stick to it... you know haha!

Those are so cute... Colton wants to ride them every time we see them in the store. You can come clean mine while you have the wax out, lmao!

Those are so cute....Colton wants to ride them every time we see them in the store. You can come clean mine while you have the wax out, lmao!

I bet Colton would like this too, but it isn't a riding mower. Nope, it is a walk behind that is self propelled.

Once last spring when Marta was in Poland I bought one. (a rider mower)... it was nice, very nice. It had a roof, a wagon on the back and even a place to put your beer! But Marta talked me into taking it back even from Poland on the phone, and I did. She was right, our property isn't very big and with the large patio in the back there really isn't too much grass to cut. It would have been just another of Stringer's toys... but she thought this one was expensive and not necessary... so I listened and agreed (this time).:D

SNOW BLOWER! I don't need a lawnmower yet, and the way things are looking I won't any time in the near future. ;)

I think we had a 1 week spring, skipped fall, and went right back to winter, huh?

(Hee hee, I can't help myself Alty) Time; it seems to go so much faster as we ag... sorry.:eek: Love you... kidding about the ag... thingy.:o

Stringer, I'm only 37. Hmm, did I just say only? :)

Hee, hee, I hope you're wrong, if it's winter again I'm going to be ticked. Right now it looks like it. Maybe I should turn on the outdoor Christmas lights, liven things up a bit. :)

Well I thought I would come and say HI here too. I think this may get me into trouble though. I will never get away from my keyboard! YIKES!

Remember to leave your pets at the daycare while we're schmoozing. It's been pretty slow in there lately! No wonder Niki goes wild on the wkd at the dancing parties! ;)

Hi FB. Yikes,. darned weather! I just hope my parents make it the rest of the way home all right. They are on the last leg of their journey home from FL, but they are driving 2 separate vehicles, and towing an 18' boat. It's their 6th day of traveling already/12hr days.

I hope so too Star.

Morning lovelies!
Firmy, you are the Link Queen! :):):)

Thank you for the honour.. lol

You are welcome! :)

Morning all, at least it is for me. The kids are having another snow day, buses aren't running. They are cooped up, I'm cooped up, board games are getting boring and craft time is so over, any suggestions? Snow ball fight! ;)

Hello everyone!!

Hi Shatteredsoul, can I call you SS for short? Cute avatar, adorable. :)

Hi you Shattered, how are you?
Haven't seen you in years again! LOL

Hi Starty, how are you today?

Good ALty, I see you are bored? LOL
Funny girl make them all lie down and nap with you!

I'm not tired. ;)

I think we're going to clean house, the fun way, make it a game. I also need groceries but I'm sending hubby out for those, he's got four wheel drive. There's no way I'm going shopping in this weather with two kids, not going to happen. ;)

Why bring your old friend around your new friends and the old ones is broke and can not pay there way on the trip and going to free load off my new friends with money so don't tell people that they are going to have fun with a free loader around

HII STARBY!!! So nice to meet you tooo.... so sorry you are dealing with snow. I can't really relate, im in south Florida. Hope you get out ok!!

Start, so....whats goin on?

My parents live in Englewood, FL. and they have been driving home (day 7 today) Boy are they in for a rude awakening! :eek:

Well that stinks!! I hope they arrive OK! I am sure you are ready for warmer weather by now..
How is your day going so far otherwise? I am at work, getting ready to pick my kids up from school. I am in need of some afternoon caffeine.. haha
Start, you need to check yours more often because I will randomly send you comments.. OKK?? Sheesh! Its hard to pin you down woman.. xoxo

Hey there everyone,

And a special hello to somebody that has not shown up for so long. SHATTEREDSOUL, well off to do some driving. See you all later.

I would mention everybody but then I would get in trouble by forgetting a couple. So Hope you ALL ARE HAVING A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

My day is going OK, just getting some house cleaning done since we're practically barricaded in, lol. We thought we had our warm weather already. It was in the upper 70's just last Fri. and then got blasted with this freak storm. We hardly ever get snow in April, and never anything like this!

My parents are in their late 60's, and are driving two separate vehicles, towing an 18' boat behind one. They usually make it home in about 4 days, but the boat is slowing them up. I don't know if they are going to get home today as expected because the snow hits almost right at the border... YUK! It's a little nerve wracking waiting to hear how they are doing, but I'm sure things will be fine.

Hello Joe!

Shattered dear,
Good to know you have been keeping busy... a good excuse for not being seen around here lol..
Have missed you lots my friend.

Wow, Starbuck8.

I am sure everything will be fine. Weather is crazy and nuts now. Go from one extreme to the other.

Well enjoy being barricaded and us Canadians are kind of used to it. You know what I mean.

Takecare.

Hola!! ;)

Look at you!! Awwww, so you are all settled and sweet and pregnant, everything good?

Hehe :D Everything is wonderful! I'm so ready to have this little baby... although I will miss being pregnant VERY much! I'm going to change my pic to an updated preggy shot!!

Have some of you noticed that there are newbies here who don't look at the dates before 'commenting' or conveying their 'intelligence', not to mention that their language and IQ level leave me to doubting...

I hope that they will not riun the reputation of this great site.

Look here folks! And I thought I was the only one who thought there is a conspiracy! HA!

SMILE OF THE WEEK

(contributions for this section are most welcome)

We Must Stop This Immediately!

Have you noticed that Stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther away.. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!

And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader?

I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me.

I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own refection... Well, REALLY NOW -- even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!

Another thing, everyone drives so fast today! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.

Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the waist, hips, thighs, and bosom?

The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but in reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?

I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in here!

All I can do is pass along this warning: We are under attack! Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.

[author unknown]

Sadly Chery, that made me laugh. Oh, but of course I was laughing at the old people, I didn't understand a word of that! ;) LOL

Chery, love it, that brightened my day, put a smile on my face. Thanks. :)

Starby, older is the word! Heehee
Chery!! Hi you sweet honey, how are you? I haven't talked to you in forever. We out of find some time for each other at the same time! So I suppose I am asking you on a date! LOL Give me a shout out when you want to get together, k? So many hugs and all of my love to you Chery! I miss you!

Hi Starty, how are you?

Good, and how are you? How is your eye? What about your snow days are you able to git the kids to school again? Heehee

Lefty is hanging in there, I have an appointment with a specialist tomorrow. Another snow day for the kids, but this time the bus driver didn't call me so we stood at the bus stop for 1/2 hour waiting, it never came. Sigh, I hope they go back soon, I hate that they're missing all this school.

How's your family dear? Everything okay? How's the kitty loving bunny?

Awww, dang bus driver! I understand your pain my friend! :)
Jett wanted to stay home today cause his asthma was acting up but I got him in a nice hot shower cleaned out his sinuses, (It only took 12 tissues today) I gave him a benedryl and his normal asthma med, and pushed him out the door! That kid has more snot that a wild wart hog... his snot can hang from his nose all the way down to the floor, "mom, MOM, help me" I hear, then I say Jett stay right there, cause I feel like if he moves, it will fall to the floor... eeeeewwwwwwLMAO, sorry I felt compelled to share today. (in no way is this an exaggeration of snot)
I need to get cleaned up! Hope you all enjoy your day! HUgs!

Snot stories, yuck, gross, eww! ;)

Love you Starty, share anything, anytime. Go get cleaned up, really, please. Hugs. :) ;)

LOL, I got dressed, but every (5) people wanted a shower with in a 45 minute time frame, so looks like I will be waiting for hot water. Alty, I am clean I promise! :)Plus the house cleaning needs to be done and the laundry so it is better if I wait till it is all done!:)

Looks like I am going to make it through another day though! That is good huh?:):)

I know how you feel, I'm always stuck with the cold water, I need hot water today. House cleaning and laundry, they're ongoing here, never ending, so sad.

Making it through another day is always a good thing, whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, man are we strong. :)

Alty you are so right, we are strong!

Chery, I saw this this morning and thought you may like it, it is sort of a cintinuation but mostly, just plain ole' good stuuff!



Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably the greatest political sage this country has ever known. Enjoy the following:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a
Woman... neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The most quick way to double your money is to fold
It and put it back in your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn
By reading; the few who learn by observation; the rest
Of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out
For themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of
That comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look
Back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat out of the bag is a whole lot
Easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt
So good he started roaring. He kept it up until a
Hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you
Stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me, I want people to know 'why' I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't
Paved.

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to
Go back to youth, think of Algebra.

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything
Either dries up or leaks.

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without
Getting to the top.

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you
About aging is that it is such a nice change from
Being young.

Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how
Splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth ~ Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground
With sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's
Called golf.

And finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,
You won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.

Love it Starty, absolutely love it. Made me giggle myself silly, I didn't have far to go. ;)

Same here, happily, same here:):)

Tee, hee, I feel GREAT! Thanks, you and Chery put a huge smile on my face, I needed that. :)

Hey people,

Start, I loved these from your list!

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of

Firmy these were actually my faves... we think a lot alike.

I did like many of them, I wish there were more manners and more people who thought like this, instead, we have selfish, rude, and un caring people! GOSH DARN IT!
Not all but you know who they are when you come across them.:)

We all have come across people we find hard to bear!! lol...

Wow, start.. I really liked your post. I think everyone resonates with me for a different reason. I think number 9 really applies to me, lol.. Also the one with keeping your mouth closed shut when you are full of bull. Ha ha..
I definitely think its important to never miss a good chance to shut up..
I guess getting older is more comfortable than being young, except when are standing next to a 5'8 blonde who is 19 and weighs 110 pounds.. ha ha ha jk

Now I know why Alexander's dad is a golfer... HaHaHa..

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I just love and missed all of you this past week. The doctors changed my meds and I now have opiate patches - they make me want to barf and give me a hangover worse than the real ones I had when I drank 25 years ago. I hate the feeling, but you guys really make me feel better. Thanks a bunch!

I promise you I won't let anything drag me down, honest. I still have my sense of humor.

Hi Shattered... how have you been doing? That is just such a cute picture on your avatar.. do you have a bigger one for my collection? Gosh, just so cuddly!

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_11.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE) I never worried about those younger gals, because I know that gravity spares nobody... and it will be their turn some day too.

Love it Starty, absolutely love it. Made me giggle myself silly, I didn't have far to go. ;)


You, my dear can be as silly as you want, and you better be darned proud of it too.

It is better than being ignorant and rude... and some people make the wrong choices in character - we know who they are, so we on this thread are also part of the 'Silly Club' and proud of it! And, as you said, - not far to go - which is just comfy enough for me cause I'm done with physical travels. HaHa.

Starby, older is the word!! Heehee
Chery!!! Hi ya sweet honey, how are you? I haven't talked to you in forever. We outta find some time for each other at the same time!! So I suppose I am asking you on a date!! LOL Give me a shout out when you wanna get together, k? So many hugs and all of my love to you Chery! I miss you!

Starty,Sorry hun... I forgot to add the "er"! I forget some people don't know me as well as some of you do. I was only making fun of myself, ;) After all, I'm 29! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! :p

Don't you guys bust me now! LOL!

Sadly Chery, that made me laugh. Oh, but of course I was laughing at the old people, I didn't understand a word of that! ;) LOL

I fully comprehend dear.. I love a good laugh at my expense, that's why I initiate them instead of letting others get a headstart. I feel that as long as I have my sense of humor, I'm good to go - and nobody can take that away from me. Laughter just make one feel good for a while - and we all can use that at least once a day.

Oh yes! If I couldn't have a good laugh at my own expense, I don't know what else I would be laughing at! I'm all for the good endorphines, in whatever shape and form they come to me! Hehe!

It's not worthwhile if you can't find the humour somewhere right? ;)

So right Starbuck...

I always think there is something wrong with people who cannot laugh and just get loose now and then. Cannot imagine life without laughter or music and I appreciate the talent of people who have provided these two joys in my life.

And those endorphines - the best medicine ever - and it's free!

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_11_60.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_17.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)Going to spend some time with Richard Dean Anderson and Kevin Sorbo now...

Jett wanted to stay home today cause his asthma was acting up but I got him in a nice hot shower cleaned out his sinuses, (It only took 12 tissues today) I gave him a benedryl and his normal asthma med, and pushed him out the door!! That kid has more snot that a wild wart hog.....his snot can hang from his nose all the way down to the floor, "mom, MOM, help me" I hear, then I say Jett stay right there, cause I feel like if he moves, it will fall to the floor....eeeeewwwwwwLMAO, sorry I felt compelled to share today. (in no way is this an exaggeration of snot)
I need to get cleaned up!! Hope you all enjoy your day! HUgs!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... START!:eek:

So glad you got to catch that Stringer, I know it's gross, but it is a big part of my life! I mean BIG! Eeeewww... gotta go, hugs and hope you are great!

Hiya...

Stringer... You know I still love you dear!! (and the rest of you quacks too, lol)

I did not give anything away, I threw away any and all broken toys, wiped them all down to get the dang dog hair off and removed the big ole ratty DOG couch and put it in Dustins truck for further removal.LMAO
The room is so bright and sweet now, so happy!
Rp,, Geeze you think you could drop in more than one time a day!?

Okay, guess I'll have to do it myself... some months down the road... "sigh" :rolleyes: :D


EDIT::: Does anyone notice me going on and off line?? Hmmmm

Yes!! Why is that?

Not real sure... I am around... may be because I go to another page??

EDIT:: That's it... I have my email up on another "tab"... when I switch to it, this page shows me offline until I type something

(and the rest of you quacks too, lol)

Thanks for making me feel included. Lol

Hey Rp good to see you.
Hey Start.
Hey Stringer.
Hey starbuck8 (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/../members/starbuck8.html).
Hey Alty hope your resting.

Well Goodnight everyone.

Hahahahaha!Joe, she sure knows how to give love doesn't she?:):)

In the Quackiest way. (;

Haha...
You know I have heard of people talking aobut recipe sharing but I can't seem to find the thread, do you know Joe?

I remember we were talking about that long time ago. It is kind of funny you mentioned that. We used the crock pot for spegetti sauce today. With lots of vegatebals it was there for 9 hours in the crock pot. Absolutely amazing.

I will take a look see If I can find it. That was a while back, eh.

Maybe you could start a new one, no real chat just good recipes? Ohhh that sounds so yummy, I am on my way!

Do you want a link to the old one or start a new one??

Did you find it? I looked everywhere

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/cooking/recipe-sharing-56553-3.html

I have never made homemade sketty sauce, that sounds great. I hope to get all I need from my garden this year and can or at least jar some up for the winter. I would love to know what you used...

Thank you Joe... I got to git but will return... I will read up in a bit
:):)

Git?? I was always wondering what? Happy I could find it.

I got to git... that mean I have to go...
LOL
K
Can you give me your recipe for the crock sauce?

Hiya Joe! Heehee, just had to include the good ones earlier ;) How's everything been? All is well on this end of the world.

Hiya....

Start......did you get lots to give away??? :)

Stringer........You know I still love you dear!!! (and the rest of you quacks too, lol)

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew IT!! :p

Gosh...can't you come work on Colton's....please??!!?? LOL We so need to do the same around here!

By the way, how is the roof?:confused:

Stringer

Stringer darling, you are always part of my favorite AMHD cyber family and I want you to know that, even if I miss a few names now and then. I hope you realize that. Besides, how can I not miss the guy who offered my grandson a job at what he does best... he still uses his cleaning cart every day helping mom around the house. It's hard to believe that a little kid his age still is interested in a toy he got 5 months ago, and it makes me feel good that I picked something that he does not put aside for newer stuff.
Last week I got him a little snowglobe on a marble stand with an angel in it, something he can keep for the rest of his life and not be shy displaying it in his room, no matter how old he gets.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_1_129.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE) You are the bottom left one here and I will always think of you all when I light my candle in the evening. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_5_2.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Morning all... off to work, ugh!! I hate work... have I ever told you that?? LOL

Stringer... the roof, still leaking... crappy roof... maybe one of the roof experts will see all of my posts and come offer me a new roof, lmao... can't I wish?? Missing you hon, dear, sweet stuff ;) Hope to catch you here soon, all this hit and miss is for the birds... and I am not speaking of my peacock, hahahaha!

Thanks my Chery, You are the best...
I guess I have a deep desire to be special in your eyes... sigh. :D

Maybe we need an "Early Warning System?" One that would sound a bell in the different time zones all at one time when we can all be on line together... think?

EDIT: BEAR... where the heck are you lately?

EDIT #2: R... What if you just have someone get up there and just pour hot tar all over the whole roof.. Miss you too hon.

Morning all. Long time no see. I hope everyone is doing well!

Hi all, how is everyone?

Stringer, I love you too sweetie. :)

Hi all, how is everyone?

Stringer, I love you too sweetie. :)

Hummmwawww (smack) a kiss for you, right on the right cheek... :D

TGIF peoples!!
Hope your weekend is everything you want it to be!

Hummmwawww (smack) a kiss for you, right on the right cheek.........:D

Which right cheek? Hmmm, now I'm being cheekie. My bad, I couldn't resist. :)

Which right cheek? Hmmm, now I'm being cheekie. My bad, I couldn't resist. :)

Naughty... but very nice... :)

Hee, hee, that's me Stringer, to a tee. :)

I'm back home in Michigan, my cats are glad to see me, but I just spent a month with my daughter. I miss her and that litle dog of hers already.
I'm doing laundry, my husband kept the house clean (he's a pretty OK guy)
It's back to the real world again.

Hi Homegirl. You lucky lady, your husband cleans? My husband couldn't find the garbage can if I tied it to his waist, LOL. Lucky girl, can I send my hubby over for lessons? ;)

Sure, send him on. Any thing for a sister. We women have to stick together.
He cooks and cleans, it sounds good, but he is also picky, so if I'm not here, he will keep things clean.

My hubby is not at all concerned about cleaning, if the house is clean, it's okay, if it's not that's okay too, it's frustrating. But, he makes up for it, he's a wonderful man and a great father, so I don't mind a bit of mess. He does cook sometimes, and he's not bad at it. :)

Welcome home Homegirl! Glad you had such a nice time and came home to a clean house! :)

We guys try (well most of us)... it would help if the ladies would put together a list or book of exactly how we can be everything that you ever wanted.. We could check it out each time we need help... chapter and verse... imagine "a giant step for "man"kind.

But then, would you really want us all behaving like that; trying to be perfect for you? We would actually be the "Stepford Men"!! Wow, scary......!

Ha ha,
Stringer

Stedford Men, that's funny, so is the mental picture. ;)

Hmm... a book, what should we call it, "Do it or Die?", "Cleaning 101", "How to make your wife happy using a feather duster?", so many possibilites. ;) :)

And... I didn't even open that chapter... hehe

"How to make your wife happy using a feather duster?", so many possibilities."

No wonder we admire you women so much (from a man's prospective), you are sooooo creative!

Stringer; (Me man... me kill the dinosaur, opps they died a LONG time ago... sorry forgot.)

(Am I giving you enough ammunition?)

I don't know that I'd want my husband to do everything I told him to do, be a "stepford guy", that would be a turn off. Just be considerate and help out as needed.
We have been married 32 years and have worked out most of the quirks. We may not like everything about each other but we're OK with it. We know our likes and dislikes so we try to accommodate.

Stringer, hee, hee, I'm glad you liked the feather duster comment, I do try to make you laugh. :)

Homegirl, I have to agree, if he did everything he'd be perfect, perfect is boring. I'm not really upset about the lack of cleaning, but it would be nice if he helped out more, I can dream can't I?

All in all though I'd never trade any of his other traits for a cleaner house, I love him just the way he is, and he reciprocates, that's enough for both of us. :)

I'm not saying that there aren't things we wouldn't change if we could, but they're minor, like snoring, he snores, that I would change if I could, it's loud! ;) He'd probably love to change a few things about me too, I can't imagine what though. :cool: :D

There's some ammunition for you Stringer dear. :)

Well you and he have it together like I think Marta and I do, for the greater cause. Homegirl, you know of course that I posted that with "tongue in cheek" right?? :D

There's some ammunition for you Stringer dear. :)

Ok, I'll use it dear, you have given me a chance here for one of Stringer's night time stories (even though it is only 12:30 pm).

I was watching a talk show on TV a long time ago, I think it was on one of the PBS stations. And I have always remembered what was said by one women;

It was a 'round table" discussion about the differences between the sexes. The discussion had taken a turn toward complaining about each other and almost getting nasty. One woman complained that "he" was sometimes almost useless, a guy complained that he almost had to beg for things, etc, etc ,etc.

One woman was really upset, she complained about almost everything her husband did or didn't do..One of her most vibrant complaints was that he also snored loudly for the last 25 years! She would wake him, punch him, yell at him several times each night, she just can't take it anymore. She had demanded that he see a specialist, which he did, but he was soon snoring again. Almost all the women agreed wholeheartedly, except one...who sat there with her head down, slowly shaking her head "no."

The panelists stopped and looked at her, and ask her what was wrong? The woman, about 50 or so, raised her head with tears in her eyes and said;

I haven't slept in years, Harry snored constantly and like you I was mad. Now, I miss that sound so much... my husband passed two years ago.

Hey, how are you?

Well you and he have it together like I think Marta and I do, for the greater cause. Homegirl, you know of course that I posted that with "tongue in cheek" right???:D
Sure!

Wow, that was a great story Stringer. :)

I don't get mad at the snoring, I've learned to live with it, as he's learned to live with my little quirks (and I do mean little ;) ). You are right though, I would miss the snoring if it meant he wasn't around anymore, I love the man, goodness knows I didn't marry for money, neither one of us had any when we married, so it must be love and it's definitely still there.

We've been married for 13 years this May, but we've been together for 18, almost half my life, yup, it's for love, and I wouldn't ever change that. I am one of those people that is in it for life, till death do us part, and if he doesn't stop snoring I'm going to smother him with a pillow;) (kidding, totally kidding, gosh, really, I'm kidding!)

Hee, hee, love to giggle. :)

I already knew that about you Alty. You are a fine person.

I always try to see things in a larger sense than say... the particular disagreement at the moment. Mom always taught us the only thing you can't "get back" are the mean things said in anger.
Stringer

So true, but hey, we're human, anger happens, it's whether you learn from it or continue it that counts.

Thanks for the compliment Stringer, you are a fine person too, of course, you already knew that, right? ;)

Nope, but thank you dear, should I add that to my dossier... Haha... I have been called many things, some not so nice... thanks again.:) :)

You too? If I had a penny for every time someone called me something nasty I'd have, oh, enough for a coffee at least. But the same goes for people saying nice things, and I insist that I focuse on the good, not the bad, you do the same dear, okay?

Yep, I do, or I should say; I try to. Less stress I guess, but I do really try to see the good in people... but it is tough some times... you want to say "here, hold this.....then WHACK.........WHACK!" But knocking sense into some... is an excerise in futility.:(

Ain't that the truth. I am slowly beginning to realize that there are people who deserve my advice and sympathy and there are people who will never listen anyway so why waste my time.

I try to focus on the good too, easier said than done, but that's life. I just try and remember "Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger". I must be super strong by now, but mushy on the inside. ;)

I haven't been called anything to my face... but I am sure behind my back there have been things said. I was once flipped off when I was driving, I still am upset cause the other guy was not following the road rules and if I know any better I should have been the one to flip HIM off. But I kept my cool and wish I could have pulled him over and said something sweet to make him feel bad about flipping me off. GOSH!
Keep it cool:):):) Hugs!

I wish I could learn what you already know Starty. For me the problem is seeing something that is wrong and walking away, I can't do it, I've tried. I have started to get better, but every once in a while the urge is to great and mean Alty comes out. It gets me no where, so I don't know why I continue, it's just my personality, and I usually realize my mistake later, when it's already to late. Maybe I'll grow out of it, any hope of that? ;)

We are who we are Alty:):)
If we weren't then this world would be a crazy boring place. You be and I will be:):)
Just don't farkin flip me off for some stupid reason when I drive by you! LOLOL

No chance of that Starty, I would never do that to you, what do you drive, just so I know. ;) LOL.

I've got to run, time to do something physically productive, not just mentally, not that I'm mental or anything, just saying.

Take care Starty, and Stringer and EVERYONE! I'll be back later to amuse and entertain. That's my goal for today, haven't started yet, give me time.

Later all. Alty. :)

See you soon! I am going too, Davy has a basketball game (2 of them)
Mental? Physical? You have me thinking now?? Bye for now!

Enjoy the basketball game.

Hey everyone!

Hey guys!!
Long time no speak!!

Hey everyone... bad timing on my part, have to run.. shopping and portraits with Marta..
Hope you are all doing well...
Stringer

Joe, are you still here. I love your new avatar, tooooo cute. Not as cute as mine though. ;)

Is everyone gone? Geez, I miss you every time! Another Doggie Dancing party this eve for anyone who doesn't know our Saturday ritual! Bring your pets, and your instruments/ music everyone!

Kevin the Kangaroo (compliments of Friend4U) is once again our semi friendly doorman/bouncer.

Alty, I have extra treats for the bunnies tonight! :D

See you all tomorrow... Stringer

Good night Stringer, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. Darn, I need more bug spray for those bed bugs! ;)

Good morning All.

I must have really been tired yesterday, I didn't get up this morning until 9:30. Hmmmm not sure why, when Marta and I went shopping yesterday my wallet kept getting lighter so in the long run I wasn't carrying as much weight... hmmmm?
Stringer

Well it's afternoon and I'm winding down already, in fact I wasn't wound all the way when I woke up. I guess I'm having one of those days.
How's everyone else doing?

How are you Homegirl?

Just stopped in to say a quick HI, and then off to get myself some fresh air and sunshine. Got to take it while we have it! The way the weather has been, you never know what crazy stuff tomorrow will bring! :rolleyes:

Have a good day all! :)

Starby over and out! :D

Where are all you guys today? Start, R, Joe, Bear, Firm, Homey, AK, Rank, and all the rest?

I have some time on my hands again, Marta has decided that she needs to shop today, nothing on TV, already cut the grass (with my new mower), finished up some business loose ends, AND I NEED TO TALK with my friends!

Marta did say that since I am such a nice guy she is bringing home some fresh Tilapia and she is going to bread it for dinner tonight along with those little red potatoes and salad.

So, someone loves me... riiiiiiiiiiight?

Sorry, playing video games.
Talked to my daughter today, she misses me, wants to know when I'm coming back for another visit. She told her dad, "I may only let you have mom 1 week out of the month" He says I must be spoiling her when I'm there. I told him "no more so than when she lived at home"
She is an adult on her own and I think she enjoyed being mothered.

Did you go away String Man? Has Marta returned and made you your supper already? I guess I fell asleep over in that corner and missed you!

Niki is all happy again! She got over her hissy fit she had earlier, when we had a good long game of fetch! All is good now, and snow is melting like crazy! YEAYYYYY! :D

I didn't mean to leave you out of that Homegirl. I see you around all of the time, but I don't think we've ever talked. I was a Chicky's café, and Alty's pub girl... and now I'm usually down the block at Sneezy's kleenex box. Lol ;)

Everyone calls me Starby!

That's OK. I've not frequented either of those places. I'm just finding a niche , I guess

Man ohhhh man, I have been busy, work, kids, and the house. My back might give out, but I got a lot done! Hope you are all great! Too busy to get on the puter lately! Gosh, never thought you would hear me say that, huh?
Homegirl, you can get comfy here, I always do!:)

Hmmm, hello everyone.

Too busy for the computer, oh my. SHOCKED.

Will I ever get over the shock. Usually I am just way to exhosted and tired to be on the computer. Keep hitting my head on the monitor. Not really a good thing is it.

Nighty night everyone.

Hugs for you alll,

I hope you get over the shock... it is all going to be OK!
And Joe... please be careful! :)

I thought you might all like something this morning to relax too and let your stress slip away with:

Kind of a nice way to start your day maybe...
Stringer

Heya y'all!
Hope you are all okay and happy and stuff :)

Hey there Cal, Long long time.

Morning all, really early morning. YAWN!

How is everyone?

Stringer, that was nice, thank you!:)

Jett has poison oak or ivy or something... if anyone would get it, he would! Poor baby... any suggestions would help:)
CAL! Hi you!:)
Alty it is early, I am up and rarin to go though! :)
Morning Joe! :)

Morning Joe!!:)

Thank you dear, glad you noticed and liked it.:)

I had it many times when I was young, I think calamine lotion was what was used. And I believe it is very contagious, be careful. Contagious even to himself, he can spread it by scratching and touching it...

Have a good day, otherwise hon.
Stringer

I have socks over his hands, I gave him some benedryl and I put some cream on the infected areas... I want to isolate him, but he is too crazy to isolate, so we are taking the chance I suppose. Thanks Stringer! Deep breath, now let it go... :)

Poison ivy, ouch, calamine like Stringer said. A bath with baking soda can help too, or so I've heard. Good luck, poor little itchy boy.

Hey Stringer, how are you sweetie?

I am fine dear, thanks, "how'r yooooooou duin'?"

I agree, the baking soda bath will help with the itching... cause THAT was the worst for me... just couldn't keep from scratching, it itched sooooo much. From that point on I was very careful where I sat down if you know what I mean??

The OTHER life lesson I learned shortly afterwards was; don't pee on an electric fence... WOW?!
Stringer

Mental picture, eeek!

I once peed in the woods when I was 8 months pregnant, on a slight slope. That was an adventure I have absolutely no wish to repeat! ;)

Hmmmmmmm.. I don't know about that my dear, Marta says I have a very, very cute butt hehe... she does more pinching than I do...

Another mental image, okay I'm awake now, you have done your job! :D

Stringer, the sun is shining, it's beautiful. I'm almost to afraid to say it out loud, but could it be that spring has finally sprung? I hope so. Oooh, hope I didn't jinx it, hex, hex, hex, Arghhhh! ;)

Hmmmm. oh yee of little faith...:p

Only because of past experiences, you remember the snow right, can't forget the snow, no more snow. ;)

Got to go clean house, it's not cleaning itself, I thought I requested that when we moved in, but I guess not, hee, hee.

I'll talk to you later Stringer dear, have a great day! :)

Do you r part in helping the economy; hire people... :D

I wish, boy do I wish, but sadly my wishes aren't coming true. Nope, got to bite the bullet and clean the house all by myself.

Hi everyone... got most of my cleaning done. (Colton even helped me vacuum ;) ) Hope all of you are well... trying to catch you guys, is like finding a needle in a hay stack... lol. Hope to see you later... taters :)

Hello everyone:)

Hi.

Hi all, how is everyone this fine day? Stringer, remember that I said spring has sprung, wrong, they're calling for snow tomorrow. GRRRRRR!

Well, as my mom used to say "don't feel 'PG'! "

Cold, fogy, windy, raining (constant drizzle), high of only 42 F today. Presently it is 12:38 am Wednesday morning and the temp is 34 F TWO DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING!! HOPE ALL THE TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS MAKE IT??

This is just crazy and stupid, I know, I KNOW... this is just happening to p*ss ME off!

Anyway, ~~~~~~you guys have a ~~~great~~~ Wednesday~~~(smile-smile)...

(Sorry had to let it out somewhere--and Marta would just slap me silly haha, if I let loose like this with her... so.)

Wait, I feel better all of a sudden... Marta just said the she made some homemade fudge, hey!! Isn't life just great?? :D :D :D

Stringer

Fudge? Did you say fudge, darnit Stringer, you play dirty, I want fudge too. Sad, snow for tomorrow, raining right now, cold and yucky and me without any fudge, just sad. ;)

Good morning you...

She makes the best fudge, chocolate with walnuts and it is not the gooey, waxy store bought type. Hers is delightfully light and kind of flaky that melts in your mouth. Too bad I can't eat fudge for breakfast... oh well... there IS "Choc-flakes cereal.

Have a great day guys...
Stringer

Hi all..
Been away for a while, but having to wear a stupid opiate patch, then getting all the side-effects imaginable to include breaking out in itchy bumps from head to toe just 'T'd me off until I finally got the clinician to let me discontinue that and let me take meds that I knew worked for me again.

During this time, I remembered an old cure for itchy skin that I always took with me whenever I camped out in California, and when my daughter used to get into the wrong plants around the playing fields. Calamine lotion works OK sometimes, but I always revert back to this old 'sure thing'... ONION.

Pressing onion juice on irritated skin eases the swelling and itching.. honest - and only smells for a little while, so try it. Whether allergy or plant inflicted, this still works for me - Thank goodness.

Sorry that I cannot do anything about weather problems, but I hope that I helped with skin irritation in the future.

Till next time - love and miss you all. Just need a little more time to recover yet, but I doubt if there is a cure against dumb doctors... I'm so frustrated at mine.

Oh, my poor Chery! I hope your itches go away soon and your old meds kick back in to give you some relief... tell those stupid docs they don't know what they are doing to you, lol. You know we all have you close in our hearts, whether you are here in person or in spirit, you touch us every minute. However, I do worry when I don't see that cute little man of yours after a while ;)

Everyone else... I miss you wonderful folks :)

Hey Chery!! Darn itches, Jett got poison oak, he is right there with you. I get frustrated too Chery, if you just want to scream out loud, then do it, it helps I promise. Chin up, hugs hugs hugs! I sure hope it doen't last too long, I miss you as well, and love you lot's. I hope kitty is good company!

Rp, I think you are wonderful! :)

Yo! Look who called in sick today... cough, cough... don't I sound REAL bad, hahahahaha

Ahhhhh, you...

Yo!! Look who called in sick today....cough, cough....don't I sound REAL bad, hahahahaha

Ha Ha, Did you learn that from me. (;

Ohhhhh, Joe, you too? Where have you been? Off in your own little world?

Ha Ha, Did you learn that from me. (;

I pick things up here and there ;)

Wow, such wonderful lessons... more, more... please.

Hahaha... Hiya Stringer! How you doing lately? And Marta?

Nooo, you guys, you are not to be calling in sick... Stringer, you do not want your employess to follow suit do you? LOL

Well... my employer deserves to feel the pain every once and a while :)

K, you are probably right there...
Hee heeeeeeee

I have a very serious question...

Where in the heck does all my tupperware go? Or if I find a piece could you tell me where the lid is? Sheesh, this is driving me insane!!

Starty I have the same problem, that's why I don't buy the expensive stuff, I buy the stuff that is disposable. If I lose a lid no big deal, the container only cost me 50 cents anyway, that's how I deal baby, it's the only way to go. ;)

Me too Alty, I do the same but if I need it, it should be where I put it. Damn it anyway! LOL
Nice to see you by the way!:)

Hee, hee, it's not where you put it because you have kids honey, at least that's what happens here. Sigh, I just want a lid that will fit, is that too much to ask. ;)

It's nice to see you to Starty. :)

No kidding Alty! Amen Sista!
I just got done watching Cloverfield...
I didn't like it too much. Nighty night!
Hope you get a good nights rest sweet honey!
