One flu over the cuckoos nest, that would be me. I'm feeling like something the cat dragged in, only we don't have a cat. I feel icky, sicky, and snotty, it's no fun. A little TLC would be nice, but I'm to busy giving it to the kids. Oh well, just have to wait it out, see who's stronger, the flu or me, I'm betting on me, I have a whip.:D :p

Yes, I lost over 2500 posts also after being here over a year, now I only have 351 and Start I noticed yours came back, I think?

Aw, poor Stringer. It's okay, need a hug? :)

That's weird stringer , wonder why you and starty lost so many :confused:

It doesn't seem to be very accurate, does it?

Where did everyone go? Okay, cold meds and beer don't mix, I only had half a beer and I am loopy, when will I learn, obviously not today. Tee, hee. :)

Wait why have you lost so many posts string?
Hi all
Why have I lost so many?

I win, I win, I have more posts than Stringer, Albear and M, yeeeha. Sorry, I had a moment. :) ;)

Hi Bear, how are you today?

Supper time, got to run, later all. :)

Hi alty,
Tired, thanks,
How about you
Ta ta for now then

Did I miss a lot??

Hey! I know I posted here earlier today... where did they go??
We were talking about kids and flies and a lot more...

Where is Curlyben when you need him?


http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_33.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)All Spazzed Now!

I think I might have found it. I guess some adjustments are being made? Who knows. Well Happy to see you all here.
I was being so so lazy today. Not doing much at all. This weekend, I think I caught up on lots of sleep and relaxed too. Oddity for me, but I can say I did.

And... my other question is; why is it that I only have one greenie?? I have had a lot of responses... maybe I did something wrong.

Did I miss a lot???
Quite a lot today Joe, at least two pages of posts on this thread - they just got up and went..

Hope your weekend was a little warmer than mine - we had rainstorms - but the plantlife needed it here.

Check you later.. it's three in the morning and I'm going to take a nap.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_22_20.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

EDIT::: O M G I just noticed that my today is actually AMHD's yesterday, and when I paged back a bit I found the posts that I put in lately. Sorry but I really freaked. Hope you all find your's too.

I am glad Chery, but only some of us had a hugh reduction in the number of posts others haven't had anything reduced, just curious.

Goodnight everyone,

Hi all... you guys are a chatty bunch aren't you? Goodness!
Well, house is clean.
Watching the only show I like "HOUSE"
Laundry is never ending...
Job is good.
Kids are happy.
Animals are fine.
New aloe plant came in handy this weekend.
Hope you all are all right... ;)

House, Oh my. Let me know what you think. I already watched it 4 hours ago.

Don't you go tellin' me Joeseph!
I will let you know.
Glad you got your four years worth of rest in one weekend;)

Tonight I am making it an all nighter laughing out loud. Got to go to work in about 5 hours. Not asleep yet. Hee Hee.
No telling here going on. You got the mad voice out, calling me Joseph and all. Lol
Making me Cringe.
Yikes.
Got a new plant myself, Umbrella tree.
Nighty night and Goodmorning for me. Tapping myself on the shoulder.

How are we all today??

Hahahahahahaha Joe. You got my mad face! Not many get that. I really like this show. I hardly ever watch TV unless it is Discovery... or Travel Channel...
Sometimes if I am up Ou really need to go to bed for at least four hours then wake up, grab yer coffee and kick yer buns out the door!

And.....my other question is; why is it that I only have one greenie??? I have had a lot of responses...maybe I did something wrong.

I don't think that you did anything wrong. I think that the system just has some bugs that need to be worked out. From the number of positive ratings that I have gotten, I know that I should have more of the bright green ratings than I presently do. Almost seems like the thing is stuck!

There are some other things that I have noticed that don't seem to work correctly. A couple of them would be Google AdSense ads not appearing at all where they should and as has already been noticed, the post count on so many members either getting higher or lower when there has not been the usual logical reasons for that to happen. For instance, it's normal to lose post count if a thread is moved from the regular boards to a discussion area.

My post count went from over 8,800 to 8,500 something just yesterday.

Thank you my friend, how have you been, we haven't spoken in a while. Although I have seen that you are still giving great advice.

I went from over 2000 posts to 351 yesterday. And I too have a bunch of positive posts/feedbacks and I have been "stuck" on one greenie for many months. If it wasn't me and something that I did, (and that may be possible) then I hope they can adjust this and fix it soon.

Take care, hope all is well in your life,
Stringer

I noticed the changes as well. What is going on exactly?

how are we all today??????????????????????

I can't answer for all here, but I am fine. Welcome to the thread.

Good morning!

Well howdy there ma'am... :D

Oh the pool....ohhhhhhh (right?)

I need to vent!!
Why is it some people can be restricted from this site just by a communication glitch, or something small... and some people can say F-you right out in the open and only get their posts removed...
I just don't get it sometimes...

What happened Start?

Nothing... I just needed to vent sorry Stringer...
Anyway, how are you? It rained so hard today it was amazing after all of the great weather we had been enjoying. I suppose we all need a break from the heat though, I welcomed it... (PLUS I Didn't HAVE TO WATER THE PLANTS:))

Cold enough to snow tonight. Ahhhhhhh

Start, I do not get it either.. .

Start to change the subject do you know anything about the umbrella house plant??

See... every cloud has a... well...

Ummmm, Joe I know that mine lived forever when I lived in Alaska... I watered it and I put it in the corner of the house, half sun half none... it got huge and branched out everywhere... That was one of my beloved plants... almost 10 years of love in that one;)
Yes, Stringer heehee

Umbrella Tree - House plants - Denver Plants.com (http://www.denverplants.com/foliage/html/scheffreg.htm)

Schefflera actinophylla, Umbrella Tree, Umbrella Plant, Octopus Tree (http://mgonline.com/schefflera.html) ?Is this it Joe?

Helloo everyone!;)

Hi you Firmy;)

Thank you Stringer, I was searching it before. Because I was curious on weather it is a good safe plant to have around little ones, if you know what I mean.

That is it Firm.

Oh gosh I need more plants... I am a lover of indoor plants!
All right... off to work on the leftovers of this house! See you all a bit later;)

Start we keep missing each other. Hope all is well.

Thanks Chery for starting the new thread

Good morning all! I will be out in the yard for the most part today... Stringer, want to bring that new contraption of yours? The appraisal on the house is tomorrow and we have loads of work to make it all pretty.

Speaking of plants... I have an exotic lily and an Easter Lily (a little late :)) that have big ol blooms on them... and I have FIGS (woo hoo.. first blooms since we bought the house). Glorious day... just started way to early!

Welp, off to do the yard... will catch you on my breaks (if the slave driver will give me one, lol)


EDIT:::: Hiya Tus!!

Hey RPG. How are things? We have not chatted in like forever... how is the fam?

Good morning...

Morning Stringer

I know! It has been a while... where have you been? What's been up with you?

We are good... Colton turns 3 Monday, so we are having a nice little picnic party in the backyard this weekend (his birthday is Memorial Day... so no parks were available). Wayne and I are going strong.. working together awhole lot lately... joining forces, hahaha. Trying to get this daggum roof fix (so refinancing the house). That catches you up to us for the last few months.. now you, lol.


EDIT::::Morning Stringer babe.

Wow three! He is getting to be an old man!

I have been so busy teaching and stuff that I have not had much time lately. We are tearing out our deck to make a new concrete patio, building a deck at our place where we camp. You know how the spring goes... although none of our projects sound as big as yours.

I don't know... I would love a small project... this one is making me a nervous wreck, lol. Glad to hear things are going well with you.

Welp... off to make the yard and azaleas all pretty :)

Hugs for the day everyone.

Hugs; huggles...

Morning all. It's raining and miserable, just like me. :(

My house is still a mess, I feel worse today, my cold has gone deep in to my chest and I haven't slept more than 2 hours every night since Thursday. Calgon, take me away. ;) I feel icky, sicky and yucky, but will put a smile on my face for all of you. :)

GooOOOoooood Morning Everyone!
Unlike Alty, I am going to ignore everything that is horrible in my life, I have resorted to feeling lucky to be alive... LMAO
Love is all around you...
Ohhh bear, so sorry, got to play the song love!
YouTube - Tesla - Love Song (mp3sack.com) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=kFAttdxfLpo)
Just feel luck it wasn't Gwenn... or "wheres the tiger" bwahahahahaha
Oh goodness... I need to stop

No, don't stop, I love happy, bubbly Starty pants. I so need it today. Come on Starty, tell me something that will make me giggle, I know you've got it in you. :)

Yeah start tell us a funny kids story

Grumble

grumble

What's wrong Bear?

Tesla was played

Aw, poor Bear. Do you need a Bear hug?

No, I just need time to recover is all :)

Take all the time you need Bear. :)

grumble


It's almost like you don't even have to click on it anymore... you know it, it plays over and over in your mind... Love is all around you... and so now you read the "tesla" and you hear it, love is all around you... Bwwwwaahahahahaha Bear, please tell me you didn't click on it? Heehee

I have a story, but it isn't really funny, it is the sweetest ever... ready, here it goes.

Keep in mind, a couple hours earlier I had Max and Alex (I babysit alex) in my arms and I was singing a made up song about how much and why I love them with all my heart and soul... K, on the sweet story!

Maxy walks up to me with his hand behind his back... he says mom, I need to talk to you, and this is serious. (I automatically think he found a camping knife or something in the wrong spot) But what he said was amazing and the most loving thing out of his mouth...
He says Mom, this is so serious so listen to me, If I die, and that is serious, I want you to know and remember how much I love you from my heart and soul, and I think this will help you remember that... so he says... here, I love you mom... and he pulls his hand around and opens it... it is a necklace from his sissies room, it is a big heart and says forever on it. I swear he is the sweetest kid I have ever known.
Have I ever told you that he has always been so upset about living in my tummy with my guts? He has an issue about it, he thinks he ate my guts... poor baby

I will thanks but I'm not if if there's nough time in the world to let it heal
And no I didn't even have to click on it start just seeing the name causes pain lol to that story though

Oh, Starty, that is just precious. Wow, I feel better. You're right, life is good. My daughter said to me the other day, "Mommy, I won't every leave you, I'm going to live with you forever, you don't have to worry, and if I get married and have kids, they can live here too." I almost choked on my coffee when she said that. Guess I need to get a bigger house. ;)

Awwww... that is sweet... and yes you will need a very big house!;)
Does anyone know where I put all the kids' Game Boy games? Maxy is taking a little two day trip with Nana, (first time ever) and he likes that little Game Boy to pass the time in the car;) Where are they??

Nothing like the love of a child

Awwww.....that is sweet...and yes you will need a very big house!;)

Under the couch Starty. :)

I've got to run for a bit. Talk to you all later. :)

I told him I wanted to die before him... so I would keep it in my jewlery box, and if one of us needs it... it will be there;)

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

In the last place you'll look, that's my bet

Forget it, I just went to the truck (last night davy was playing it in there) She musta taken it to school... that little stinker!
No biggie, I got a ziplok full of crayons and some good paper... and I was thinking I should put a roll of masking tape it there so he can make tape balls and throw them around the car to see if they stick?? Ohhh Nana would just love me, wouldn't she?;)

in the last place youll look, thats my bet

I hope so, otherwise why keep looking? :D

Agreed :)

Achooo, jeesh, when will this end? Oooh, look, a cookie, the kids missed one. Muwahahahaha, mommy get's a cookie. :)

Lol, its your lucky day, quickly eat it before someone sees you :)

Love my cookies, they are yummy. Time to get back to cleaning, the house isn't going to clean itself, why, why, why, I want a self cleaning house. ;)

Mee toooo Alty...

I can't seem to get off the computer, I don't want to clean. Someone talk me in to it, I'm feeling lazy today.

Get your azz up and go clean... get the music flowing and remember that if you do it will be nice and clean for everyone when they get home!
Now git...
Start won't talk to you anymore... untill you tell her it is done... Hugs... I am going to go do it too! Ohhh what? Ohhh OK, Sir Mix A Lot? You got a good song for me to sing too? Oh and your Friend Rob base

YouTube - Rob Base - It Takes Two (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kSAGO_XIFk)

Okay Starty Pants, I'll go clean. Hey, how will you know when I'm done, I could lie about it, you'd never know, or would you?:eek:

Going to clean now, sigh. ;)

You are not a liar... ;)

OK Star and Alty.. here's my view of cleaning... someone else came up with it but it applies - when it comes to setting priorities. Life is really hectic as it is and we all need to find a place and time to do things we like to do and not feel guilty about it all the darned time..


Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle,
when 24 Hours in a day is not enough,remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full...

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life."

"The golf balls are the important things - God, family, children, friends, health......things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full."

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car."

"The sand is everything else -- the small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls."

"The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you."

"So...Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter.
Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked'. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

I'm just adding - that there is always room for spending time on the computer with friends too!

Love you all,

Chery

Ohhh yes... jrebel just sent that one too me... I love it!!
Thanks Chery, now my house will go to hell;)
Just kidding, I know, I am a good balancer!
How are you today?

That's great chery, love that :)

Bear, you are going to use that as an excuse aren't you?? :) HAHAHAHA
I know it... you are...

You know me so well,lol I need to fit in the imprtant things before cleaning

Yes... and you may as wll just do that! As for me, I try and get it all in... and sometimes, just sometimes, I have time left over;)

OK, Start, thanks.
I had a busy day - weekly coffee, at group.
Then I got the gifts I ordered for Alexander in the mail - Rockinghorse and Bike have to be put together - so guess what I get to do outside in the yard because there is no room in my little place.
I don't want to give Jaime the boxes because I want Alex to remember he got them from ME, and if dady puts them together he'll not remember who they are from.. so I might have to send an emergency signal to my neighbors for help and make some coffee for them while we put those darned thingies together. - just kidding.

Will take pictures of the finished products when I'm done and hope you'll be able to recognize them for what they are supposed to be. HaHa.

No, really, I've always been good at assembly and am not worried - just thought I'd get your imaginations started with a bike looking life a robot and a horse looking like the rear of it instead of the whole thing.

It's been a long day for me, and I still get sad sometimes talking in group and listening to other's frustrations over their fate with cancer, but it needs to be done and helps more than hinders - just drains you afterwards. I try my best to keep an upper lip and think of things to help them laugh and think of something else before they go home.

So, tonight I might fall asleep during my favorite Sci-Fi shows, good thing I can record them and watch them after my 'nap'. You can be assured that I certainly will NOT do any housework tonight or tomorrow.. got other plans. Oh, I did start a load of laundry before I left this morning, and dried it when I got home.. does that count as housework?

Take care dear, and enjoy as much af the day as you can.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_16.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

yes.....and you may as wll just do that! As for me, I try and get it all in....and sometimes, just sometimes, I have time left over;)
You don 'try' to fit it in, you do fit it all in, your 'super start' :)

thats great chery, love that :)

Welcome Albear, anything to make you feel a little better.

We all eventually get everything done, that's just the way we 'gals' function.

As a matter of fact, I did dishes while chatting on the phone for at least an hour, so we are also capable to doing two things at a time, contrary to some beliefs.. And I didn't drop a glass plate.

There is a little of Supergirl in all of us.

Lol the fabled multi-tasking, something I can't do, :)

Thanks bear.. ;)
Chery, I would love to see pics! Sounds nice to sit out there and drink coffee and put together a gift for the most lovely grandson of yours! ;)
As for the special groups you are in, they need you and it helps to know someone as strong and willing as you. They probably fell in love with you the first time they read what you wrote! Just like me.
Oh and as for cleaning, I am here all day, and the kids sleep, then I get to clean and finish up stuff. You know what else, it can be very fun to clean with the kids, so we get something done and they think we are playing;)
Nice job on the laundry Chery... good girl, yes laundry is house cleaning!

lol the fabled multi-tasking, something i can't do, :)

Oh, honey, I bet you can - just don't remember.
When my mom used to say that I could never do two things at the same time, I proved her wrong...
When sitting on the toilet, I actually took care of business, caughed, and passed gas. So.. that was THREE things at one time.
So, we all have the ability!

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_165_8.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Too much info cherry lol

Reet I've got to go now, ma tea is ready :) cya's later

Oh geeze... LMAO LMAO LMAO... thank you CHERY!!

too much info cherry lol

I know, but I just had to let it out...

This happened over 10 yrs ago, and my daughter was there too - she laughed her A off. You see, my mother always had fun putting me down, so this one sort of shocked her, but my daughter was proud of my rebuff.

Oh well, we are only human.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_16.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

That's for sure... we only do what we can!
I on the other hand am not using my human power and am sitting on my buns...
I do need to get something in the oven... something yummy for when the kids get off the bus... Hmmmmmm
I ran out of baking soda, this might be hard to figure out!

Sorry about that start.. I have some but can't send it through.

I never do without my Arm&Hammer Baking powder and soda. I don't bake much, but it's also great for heartburn and brushing teeth. I hate foaming toothpaste with artificial taste, so a box is always in my house.

For sinus problems due to allergies, colds and plain stuffy noses, the best is still a spoon full of Horseraddish - and a lot better than pharmaceuticals.

If you have a collection of dolls, silk flowers and other decorations that are hard to keep dustfree and clean - two cups of regular salt in a plastic bag, enter item and close with air included. Then shake and watch the salt turn gray and your decorations get clean.

Just a few of Chery's household hints.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/3/3_4_103.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)Then relax, have a cup and enjoy the view.

Wow, great thanks!
I normally wouldn't be without the baking soda either... I use it in the laundry and to scrub stuff clean.;)
I got my coffee, and as long as I put my face really close to the puter, I will be enjoying the view.Heehee

The Song Says it all

YouTube - School's Out-Alice Cooper (http://youtube.com/watch?v=1xBNAwwqjkw)

NICE Guy... just perfect... what do you plan on doing tonight?

Chery you gave me such a giggle, thank you sweetie.:)

I spent the last half hour playing with Sydney and fixing one of her stuffed animals, her favorite. I feel great, the stuffie made it out of surgery and is now in recovery, I am officially a surgeon, and according to Sydney "Super mom". Life is good. :)

Yup... life is good.
Thank goodness for you;)

Thank goodness for me and my handy dandy sewing skills, poor stuffy had a hole and needed some more stuffing. Sydney was so concerned, it was so cute, she kept talking to the stuffy as it was getting stuffed, kept telling it that it would be okay and that she'd be there, not to worry. I saw my reflection in her, the way she sees me, let me tell you, it felt pretty darn good. The frown from this morning has been officially turned upside down, way upside down. :):):):):)

VERY NICE Alty! And now you added a smile to me too... wow... it is very contagious:):):):):):)

Sure is. I say that we each start the day by coming here and spreading a smile, that used to be my onld signature, "smile, it makes people wonder what you're thinking." :):):):)

Yup.. I remember that.
Can I get you to come over and go through my bills... YUCKY!
Sorry didn't mean to put a damper on things, but I really need to get all this stuff a little more organized and looking at them kind of makes me want to throw up... LMAO

My plans? Not much. Probably Just chill for the rest of the day, Do some yardwork, maybe go See Chronicles of Narnia

Starty, I have a paper shredder that you can use, that's organization. ;)

Guy, let me know what you think, hubby and I are planning to see it Saturday. :)

Ohhh have fun Guy! That sounds good!
Thanks Alty, but no thank you, I really need to do this RIGHT! LOL

The paper shredder is so right, and then you can do paper mache with the kids. Hee, hee. :)

Hahahahaha, too late I just filed it all...
But good idea for next time;)

Hello you guys! Just dropping in to say hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Anybody here watches american idol, I did not really pay attention or watch it but I am rooting for David Cook to win.

Go the other David... LOL I can't remember his last name...
I loved House and wish it were Monday again so I could see what the heck is going to happen! ;)
Joe, Hello... hello... hello...

Well I am going to get off the computer. See you guys around sometime.

Nighty night.

Nighty night Joe!

Bless you Alty....;)
you know what I love the most.....when a man says bless you and puts your hair behind your ear for you;)
Whooaaoaoaoa, where did all that come from...???????????????

Would it help if he was the Clark Gable type?:D

Starty, I have a paper shredder that you can use, that's orginization. ;)

Guy, let me know what you think, hubby and I are planning to see it Saturday. :)

It wasn't bad but not as good as the first one...

WOOO, 1st day of Summer break, Already got my plans, Finnally get to work on that ring, go to the gym, probably some yardwork, and maybe JUST maybe a little baking experiment

I can tell you my dads 2 favorite show right now, "Take Home Chef" and "Cash Cab" and I remember one night he was watching THC and they were making A Chocolate Soufflee That actually looked quite nice. So I told my mom "semi avid baker" and she was like, Heck we can put those in muffin pans and have little souffless, so now I gota go searching through the show and find that recipe again XD

Ohhh Guy, I want to bake with you?? Please?

Stringer... it was just a statement.;)

GoooOOOoood morning:):)

Ohhh Guy, I wanna bake with you???? Please?

Stringer.....it was just a statement.;)

goooOOOoood morning:):)

Well... it wouldn't huuurt, would it my dear ("frankly my dear").:p

Heeheeheehee... Stringer... you are such a man...
Oh goodness, I got to catch my breath... just did my excersize thingies... I uped the amount and I am doing good... Geeze... water... I need some water... See you a little later;) Hope your day is good!

RPG, me and my mom are having the hardest times with those intrustrcionts, Think u can give me the link to where u found them?

So far , so good...

I have to put together two business proposals and get some additional pricing for another client. That should take about a hour, then I hope to get outside; trim the grass around the house and edge the driveway and sidewalks...

But I have to wait until the cleaning people are finished cleaning my house...

I am without my little Maxy today... I was sad waking up without him, but I do know he is having fun... one more night and tomorrow he will be home.
I am going to clean and then get into town I suppose...
I need to start the bread though, so be back soon;)
Glad for you to be getting outside, our weather took a turn for the worst... ewwwww

See you later... Maxy is fine love... I'm sure. I know you miss him...

Ya, he is fine, and he is having fun... I bet they even go to the zoo or something fun like it!
I told him before he left to give out hugs to all the girls (his cousins) I also said, since they are ladies, they will need to be treated really nice... do nice things for them and be sweet, especially use your manners I said...

I called him last night around 7:30... I said I hope you are having fun Maxy, are you behaving? He said yup, and yup! I said will you give the girls a hugs for me? He says, I already did mom! I said are you using your manners? He says yup, always, and I am treating these ladies real nice! LOL
Told him I love him and to have fun... gosh he is the sweetest!;)

Guess what start!! I was asked to be the editor for the tailgating section of a cookbook . Its for that competition I am in every Columbus Day Weekend.


Edit: Sounds like little maxy is having a blast!! He is such a cutie

WOW... I want you to tell me everything!

If he keeps up with what you are teaching him... LOOK OUT you are going to have a waiting line at your door when he is a little older...

Congratulations Tus... good for you!

Go the other David....LOL I can't remember his last name......
I loved House and wish it were Monday again so I could see what the heck is gonna happen!!;)
Joe, Hello...hello....hello....

Oh start... I just love House too. Whoever came up with that idea is a genius. Wouldn't it be great if there were real diagnosticians like that around?

Most doctors today treat the acute symptoms and neglect the chronic ones - but that's micromanagement worldwide at expense of us all.

I always advise everyone to have a history of illnesses, symptoms and meds ready for any new doctor's visit - and not to forget anything. Sometimes, they connect as in a puzzle.

The last 'idiot' I went to saw me for five minutes, didn't want to look at my history and gave me a questionnaire to fill out. He's the one who prescribed the opium patch that made things worse. Guess what I did with his questionnaire?

There is an internet site here that you can go to to 'rate' the doctors that you visited... needless to say, I have it in my links and use it often. We have to fight back somehow.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_16.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Oh Chery I'm so sorry. I'm lucky, have a wonderful doctor. He's not a pill pusher, he always tries to find another way to go before prescribing pills, he's very thorough, no complaint is left unchecked, and my kids adore him (probably because he has a big box of lollipops in his office). I started going to him when I was pregnant with Jared, and he is by far the best doctor I've ever had. Sad thing is, he's 66 years old and thinking of retiring soon. His daughter is in med school right now, he is planning on waiting until she's done and than passing his practice down to her, I hope she's her fathers daughter. :)

How is everyone today? It's still raining her and my wee little Sydney is very sick. She was up all night with a fever and complaining of tummy pain and a headache. Poor wee mite, I always feel so helpless when they are sick, wish I could take the pain away.

Yes, I have a good doctor also, a kindly old soul, the nice doctor you used to see on TV, long ago, no not House. (Although I really like House to Chery).

Alty... I hope the children get well soon, been a while hasn't it?

So see you all later, off to do more trimming and cutting in the yard, it's looking pretty fiiiiiiiine now.

Stringer

Hi Stringer, wish you could stay on for a while. I'll talk to you later though. Oh, I love the show "house" too, it's my favorite, love his attitude.

I won't be trimming or mowing anything outside for a while, it's still raining. I am happy though, we put fertilizer on the lawn on Sunday and it started raining Monday, is that good timing or what?

Didn't leave as yet, in a minute. I think it is good to have it rain after you put it down Alty. I do know that it isn't good to do it when the grass is wet but after is fine.

Marta is on her way home, we are going to throw a couple steaks on the grill on the patio and she is going to make some hot baked beans with American Cheese mixed in (I love that-although she only lets me have it about twice a month. Want to guess why?? )

AK; where are you? This is for you and me dear & I'll include R also::D :D :D

Stringer

Just finished having a snack with the kids. Sydney seems to be doing a bit better, still feverish, but not in pain, so that's good. I hope she gets a good night sleep tonight, I hope I do too. :)

As for the beans and cheese Stringer, well, my guess would be that it causes it teeny bit of gas build up. I love beans too, but not the side effects, because, dang, I can't stand myself afterwards. ;)

I don't know... you women (Marta included), a little gas and you scream to the almighty... he he

But I LOVE them Alty; nice and hot, American Cheese blended all through them and with a "crust" of additional American Cheese layered on top... and with fresh hot bread with real butter... my mouth is watering...

EDIT: Start have you or anyone heard anything from Capt? I miss the guy...

Stringer
He went on vacation... and I think we all miss him!;)

He went on vacation.....and I think we all miss him!;)

I see, I think, do you mean a real vacation or a vacation from us? Hee hee hee hee hee hee...

The baked beans were delicious! Marta has already suggested that I sleep in the library on the couch... :D :D :D :rolleyes:

I too hope Cap enjoy his vacation.. miss the Argh... and pirate talk.

I love beans and american cheese - and my cat is still alive afterwards.

I also love making my own Pesto with fresh basil, garlic, pine seeds and olive oil and I don't spare the garlic at all. When I eat that on toast or pasta, I'm in heaven. My daughter said she smells it on my breath two days later, but we don't frenchkiss, so no worry there either... haha. The easiest way to help clean the system is with warm milk. Also juice from canned sauerkraut - is a good cleansing drink so don't be too quick to pour it out next time - keep it in the fridge for a few days.

Am a strong believer that one should eat what one loves to eat - no matter what - life is boring enough some times and those taste-buds need excitement too.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_12_3.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE) Stringer... enjoy that steak and think of me - I love mine Med-Rare!

"NO"... I happen to like this dizzy, light headed feeling girl... Blaghhhhhhhhhhh!(sticks his tongue out-but with a smile in his eyes.)

M... I know, I PM'd Rick just now asking what the h*ll... Hey status means something, I gave a lot of advice over the last year... I earned that... right?:D

EDIT: I AM HERE!!!!!!!!!!!Over here..... can't you see my waving my arm alty, wait, I'll jump up and down... SEE ME? Tell me you see me!

And what... no one liked my little vid before?

I am losing ground fast... man.

Hi all. Where's Stringer, anyone seen him, it's like he disappeared, weird. ;)

Just stopped in for a minute to say hi, howdy, how are you all? I'm going to go make din din in a min min, and then it's bath time, med time and bed time for the kidlets. I'm thinking of turning in early myself tonight, thinking, probably won't happen though, I'm a night owl. :)

Can't watch it right now... there is too much going on here! But if you did disappear, we would miss you!;)

Thanks, that is what I was 'fishing" for...

Although... I would think that someone might go a little further and send flowers... (that would be a nice thing to do... wouldn't IT M?)

Got to go, LOST is on in a half hour and I have to do some things first... bye (hopefully not for good.):eek:

Definitely stringer definitely.

Good luck with trying to retrieve your posts before you disappear!!

Definately stringer definately.

Good luck with trying to retrieve your posts before you dissapear !!!!

Yeah, I know... M

Well, lets see what Rick has to say...

Night guys.
Stringer

Night Stringer!
Hi you Friend and Alty Walty! ;)
Didn't get anything baked opr done today, ran errands so looks like it will be pizza night! Ohhh and those fried potatoes that Shakey's used to make... yup 57 doses of exercize for me tomorrow!

Hey starty
How you been , looks like we lost Alty as well.

Ohhh I just wrote all that in caps... forget it...

I am good... just getting ready for the evening! Could you give me an update on how Friday will be? :)

Hi there my little group of peeps! How is everyone this VERY glorious day/evening? :)

Ohhh goodness, does someone have a bright and sunny smile on their face?? Tell... I want to know!

Hmmm... it could... maybe... :)

Hey Sunshine... ;););)

I got it!!

Can anyone show me what a NEW roof looks like... cause I will see one in about a month (and it will be on my house)!! WOOO HOOOOO


Let's celebrate! Wine anyone?

I knew it!!
Good girl, I am happy for you so glad you got it!

Hey Rp

Starty , Fridays going well so far , 11am at the mo and firing away all guns blazing. So the weekends officially 6 hours away for me :)

Nice, thanks Friend... fire away!
Rp... does that mean you will have enough to buy a sweet little vacation ticket to the Oregon coast? (just askin')

Thanks starty! I am in la la land right now! I am in disbelief still... I just feel like something could go wrong in underwriting. There really shouldn't be any chance if that though... because the papers are signed and in their hands... and the appraiser told us that he was told what we we were going for, and we have nothing to worry about at all. So now I wonder how much my house is really worth, lol.

EDIT: You know me to well girlie! That just happened to be about the amount that will be left after the painting, lol.

Can anyone show me what a NEW roof looks like.....cause I will see one in about a month (and it will be on my house)!!!! WOOO HOOOOO



8669

Hey there Friend... hmmmm, not quite the look I want (but would go well a little further south ;)). I really am having a hard time on deciding on what type and color to go with.

Hahaha Friend, that's a pretty nice roof.
Rp... anytime, you can come scout this place out;) I will be waiting

hey there Friend......hmmmm, not quite the look I want (but would go well a little further south ;)). I really am having a hard time on deciding on what type and color to go with.

Ok what about this one??

8670

Now that is pretty... pretty expensive! Lmao

I think I have decided to go with shingle... but that does make my options limited. I currently have a light brown shingle on the roof... but I was thing of maybe going with a dark grey or black... I just don't know. Guess I need to research some and find out what the diff is (or if there is any), because the black cost way more than the brown.


Start... you are in my budgeting, lol

Good evening and Good Afternoon and Good morning.

Rp, Start, Stringer, Friend, Alty, Chery.

Forget the expensive roofs, get one cheap and then you can come here quicker... ready when you are!

Hiya Joe! How did you like Idol last night? Great, huh?

EDIT: Yeah start, it doesn't matter how long it lasts right... just long enough sell and get out from under it, lololololol

http://www.overlandvision.com/images/PhotoPage/Chaiang%20Mai%20-%20Chaiang%20Rai/roof_rs.jpg

Lmao! You even got a laugh out of Colton on that one... he said that not a roof mommy, you funny... hahahahaha

That way Colton could come too... tell him I am helping him go on vacation! LOL
Hi you handsome... Colton... you are having a birthday so I will tell you HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Hugs and love big boy!;)
Hi you Joe... ;)

He is so excited about his party... we got him a go diego go cake and a matching slip and slide. Mommy can't wait for the fun either, lol.

I saw you got lots a work done! I bet he is excited, this is a perfect age to be happy about the smallest stuff. Sheesh, I make a funny face at Alex (almost 3) and he could crack up for 10 minutes, telling me how it was so funny and I am so silly and and and... Colton is going to be a great three year old... that makes you a year older too, did you ever think about that?? LMAO LMAO LMAO

Hi Rp, and Start.

Yes. American idol was an excellent finish. I was worried the night before because the judges were praising the other David. Even though the other david just ruined the Imagine song. Brutalized it and yet the judges were kissing his young butt up and down.

12 million votes more for Cook, it was an awesome finish.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLTON.

I like both of them...
Joe... just cause you are a rocker, doesn't mean the sweet little guy couldn't have won;)

I like both too, I just thought Cook should win because he can go with any type of music ad make it his own... Archiletta can only do ballads well.

The whole show was great though. I think this was the best season


EDIT:: Can you tell that I am ignoring that old lady's comment about age?? Lmao

No, I hadn't noticed! ;)

I liked Archiletta! Or whatever his name was... is... oh gosh

Back for a minute. You guys have been busy. Hi RP, hi Joe, Hi Starty, Hi M, and Stringer, where's Stringer, I thought I heard his voice. ;)

Sorry, I have a child fighting sleep. Had to go duct tape him to the bed, lol. I'll catch all of you later... hugs!

Catch you later.

I have to do that too sometimes... I understand... Nighty night sweet Sunshine;)

RP, that's what leather tethers are for (kidding, really, kidding) :)

I have the same problem with my kids, especially now that the sun is out much longer. "Mommy, it's still light out, why do we have to go to bed?" (as they're rubbing their eyes). For goodness sake, it's 10pm, 7am comes early, go to SLEEP! :)

RP, that's what leather tethers are for (kidding, really, kidding) :)



Alty!! Geez :)

LOL... absolutely!! :D

Starty, Starby and I are over at the daycare, I think you and I are the only ones left here. Care to join us? :)

There is one advantage to the exterior window shades the germans have. You roll them down and the room is dark. I was actually thinking of importing them and starting my own company when I lived in Georgia because those summer nights crept into the windows and there was no way to stop it. They also have an advantage of preventing break-ins so I don't know why they have not become a security standard yet. Maybe attaching permanent storm-doors to the kid's window outside might wind up being a solution.

It's great for me too, especially when I want to take a nap at noon - keeps the noise outside too.

Night,night.

Good Friday morning everyone, I hope today brings you smiles and sunshine.

Cute Stringer...
Morning...
Getting ready for a work day! Slept like a baby, WOW its been a long time.
Chery I have two of those shades (or something like them) in my room, they do miricles for keeping the light out! ;)

Yep, I thought it was smiley... :)

Morning all. Bah, I had another lousy nights sleep, this time it was because of my 13 year old dog, Indy. Indy has his days and night mixed up (just like a newborn baby) and decided that he needed to go outside at 2am, then eat, then get a rub down, then play. I am so tired right now, I need sleep! Sydney is home again, she still has a fever, and I'm not getting better either, no wonder, I can't sleep so this cold can sure hang on to my poor tired body. I'm going to go get some cheese to go with my wine. ;)

Hope everyone else is doing great. Chery, I love the blinds that the Germans have, you're right, they're great, but also expensive. One thing I miss when in Germany, the screen windows, open the windows in Germany and you let every little bug in to the house. I remember my Grandma's place, there were so many black flies. I was 14, slept like a baby, woke up and couldn't open my eyes, they were swollen shut from all the black fly bites. I miss Germany, especially the "slept like a baby" part. ;)

Alty, you need a nap today;)

I need to sleep for two days straight Starty. I'm okay, I'm drinking coffee like it's going out of style. Yippee for caffeine, I don't know what I'd do without it. Yawn. ;)

I would Stringer, I would, but my eyes are still healing from the surgery, I don't think putting toothpicks in to keep them open would be a good idea. Also, I'm so tired that I'd probably just end up poking my eye out. Sigh, sleep, you are but a memory. ;)

Yes, Rick was kind enough to look into it for me. He is going to change the "post" count, look into the devaluation of my status; down to "Full Member" and he is looking into why my "greenies" have stopped. He responded right away on a PM. That was good service.

EDIT: CHERY, I found this pretty funny; the bad guy needed some help huh?

Chicago Tribune: Friday, May 23, 2008:

"Fleeing cops, man caught by boars:"

Berlin- A herd of boars thwarted a suspected car thief's escape in Northern Germany.

Police in Schwerin say an 18-year old suspect abandoned a stolen sport utility vehicle Thursday after failing to shake off a police pursuit by driving into a field.

Police nabbed his passenger immediately. But they say the driver initially got away by running into nearby woods. Officers then heard the fugitive YELL and scream for HELP!

He had run into a herd of angry wild boars that were keen to protect their young.

Police freed the man from the angry boars and took into (protective) custody........"

Funny story Stringer.:)

Well all, time to start my cleaning, check on my sicky and see about a nap. ;)

I'll be back later. Have a wonderful, beautiful, magical Friday.:)

Hugs, Alty:)

Stringer.. that was cute about the boars, thanks. I rarely watch the news anymore because it frustrates me and I cannot do anything about it. All I know is that I would have LMAO if I were there - he needed that scare!

Since the wall came down, it has been a popular sport for kids to swipe cars and go for joyrides and have races in city streets at night. Needless to say, a lot of accidents result because of these bored little you-know-whats that don't care how much damage they do - and it's only one night in jail, parents get to pay for damages, and they go back and do it again.

Kids and adults also seem it's fun to throw rocks and bricks off Autobahn bridges and hit cars with them. Lately a wife mother of two children was killed - because someone was bored.

What's this world coming to?

Needless to say, I plan on being Alexander's guardian angel, but if he ever thinks of doing something like that, I'll spook him with such strength that he will actually feel that kick in the *ss. But I'm sure his Mom and Dad will teach him respect and values - no matter how bored he gets sometimes. There are other ways of expression, and adrenalin kicks, i.e. exercise, music and kicking a ball around.

Lucky Starty, I need a night off. Hubby's working nights, I'm stuck at home with a very sick Sydney Bean and a boisterous Jared Kid, I'm still tired, and still sick. I know, I know, quite griping Alty, can't help it, need some tlc. :)

Time to make some dinner. Later gators. :)

Oh goodness Alty, when are you guys going to get better. TIME TO DRAG OUT THE LYSOL and bleach bucket... windows, door knobs, bathrooms, sheets, blankies, fave stuffed animals... Oh gosh who did you sew the other day? I bet its his/her fault... wash it! LOL
Sorry your tired! I wish for you a healthy family and lots of rest soon!

Hey there Sweet Alty! We have been so concerned for you and your loved ones who are ill. The little snuggle bunnies here and I are sending get well wishes to you and yours. Now, first let me say, yes all three images are of the same bunnies but they kept wanting to move around and I still don't think I got a very good photo but am posting all of them anyway. I wanted to get a good clear image of the little~~~~~~help me out here, I don't do thread... needle point?? I hope you can read it in the image. It says "Some bunny loves you"!! :p I was in a rush to get to the Nursing Home to help mother with dinner and those little rascals didn't want to cooperate. I told them it was for a very important photograph for Alty! After I explained, they settled down a bit and let me take some snaps!

I am concerned about you Little One. :( Get well soon along with the rest of your crew.

We are sending tons of TLC! Wish we could help in person but for now, will have to do it by sending "virtual" hugs! ;)

Greetings to all others also, wishing you happy thoughts this evening! :p

Rebbie sends love to all! :)

I will try to do some rearranging another day and get a better image for you Alty!

Rebby, you are way way way too cute.
How sweet! ;)
I hope you are doing well too! I bet Alty is going to love that!

Hey there Starty! I'm glad you liked the little ones! Hope it makes Alty feel better. You always sound so good and so upbeat. I always love your posts. :)

I can't help it right now, I have the whole house to myself, and I know the kids are having fun. I am comfy in my spot, right here on the couch with a movie just starting! Just as snuggly as can be;)

Idle hands..

Night all, tomorrow,

Oh Rebbie, you are way too sweet. Big hugs to you, you put a huge smile on my face. Those bunnies are definitely easier to clean up after than mine. ;)

Cotton, Thumper, Oreo and Kilala send their bunny hugs, and a little nose twitch and a huge binky. Thanks Rebbie. :):):):):)

My pleasure! Glad I could make you smile. I am so sorry you have been ill Alty.

Got to get some zzzzzzzz's! Company coming early in the morning! Hugs and Sweet Dreams!

Start my love, I made that promise to you a while back and have not forgotten. You just remember that all you need to do is light a vanilla candle if frustrated or a green apple candle when you want to share joy with me - I'll be there . I PROMISE!

Love always,
Chery

Thank you Firm, this is a Holiday weekend in the U.S. as you may or may not know. It is in memorial for Fallen in war.

Personally, I lost one uncle in WWII and another that was crippled when he was shot down.

In memory of...
Thanks Stringer

Hi ya Firmy...just got back from the camp site. Making some yummy spanish rice...gonna watch a movie, so quiet here....;)

Thank you start, a lot.:)

Yup, you know, I have a full family line in the Navy. My Gr. Grandpa, Grandpa, Dad, and two of my three brothers , one left as soon as he could, and one just made First Class last week! I just want to say remember... just remember, if you can't remember, learn about what someone else remembers. Listen to stories, listen to the tears, the laughter, the adventure and the sorrow that these men AND women went throguh. Just so you (one person) and me (one person) can be free. When I say free, it isn't the same as it was then is it Stringer? Oh geeze, I get so mushy... Hugs and love on Memorial Day!

Hugs

Hugs... again
Starting a movie, hope the weekend finds you well Joe! ;)

Thanks Start, You want me to stop giving hugs??
How was your day, enjoy the movie.

Hugs

Hi Joe... how are you?

No Start, it is not even close. On my street we were the only one to have our flag out. It seems it was too much trouble or too patriotic to do so. When I was younger, you saw flags everywhere and it wasn't just a "commercial" where the big thing is a "Memorial Day Car Sale" put on by some foreign car manufacturer using heroic National Anthem music. Is that all these young people gave their lives for?

No! I hate war but I do pay homage to all those who like any young person, didn't want to die in war but did, and God Bless them all... And I thank them, every one of them. Thank you, and I thank my uncle from the bottom of my heart.

Each Memorial Day (Independence Day) we went to my uncle's grave when I was a kid in Pennsylvania, he was 21 when he lost his life over Germany. I remember how my other uncle would always stay longer at his brother's grave standing with his cane and with his head bowed, both were pilots. It didn't take me long to understand.

I am sorry if I offended anyone here this morning, this "holiday" means a lot to me and I don't want to see another sister (my mom) sit and show her son pictures of her brother when he was alive and young... and see the tears.

Thanks for listening,

Stringer

Stringer, bless your heart! It was warming to me to read your posts and I do thank you and all others who serve or have served in our military. I lost friends in the Viet Nam war... a war I didn't fully understand, however, always fully supported our men and women serving and still do. I send thank you forwards and personal notes to some friends who served in the military thanking them even to this day. It seems to be appreciated. They felt so unappreciated when they came back home. My great uncle was at the age of 108, the oldest living veteran in Missouri that served in WWI prior to his death when he just went to sleep on Easter Sunday morning. His brother followed a close second to this when he passed at age 104. I lost the person I thought I would marry because of the Viet Nam War. The President of our Teens for Christ at high school died the first year after he graduated from high school and went to Viet Nam. His life and testimony and death has touched so many people's lives. A good friend of mine only two years ago was able to come to terms with Jed's death. They were best friends. Mother's brother's all served in the military. I have photos of them standing side by side. My mother's cousin and her husband were missionaries in Siam before it became Thailand. They had to leave in the middle of the night and had two babies... walked through country areas, wooded, etc. some people were kind enough to feed them and help them out of the country. They loved the people there so very much.

I think everyone has been touched by war whether they have personally known someone in the service or lost family members but so much more those who have felt that loss so deeply and I am so sad for your family, mine and all others. Yet, with pride, we lift the memories of those up all the time but most especially as we give them honor of remembrance and appreciation during this time set aside in a more formal fashion.

Realizing this site is viewed world wide, I don't think anyone would begrudge us of expressing our gratitude here for those who seek to serve and protect. We know war touches everyone, both sides, all families hurt from the ravages of war. War leaves no one unscathed in one way or another. We must act and pray for peace for all of us.

I just join you and all others in giving honor to those we have loved and lost and to those who suffer physical and emotional problems and are still with us as well as the family members and friends. The survivors sometimes suffer such guilt for surviving yet we honor all of our service people in all manner we know how.

I stand with you Stringer in appreciation for our men and women in the armed services. I am glad we have a time set aside just especially to honor our fallen and wounded, just as we have other holidays set aside for other groups, celebrations and honors.

Thank you Firm, this is a Holiday weekend in the U.S. as you may or may not know. It is in memorial for Fallen in war.

Stringer, my dear, thought I'd add a few flags here just for occasion with pride. My Dad, Step-dad, husband and his father, and many friends (I worked for the military all my career life) have a military history.

When I was a child this day meant so much to me that I got goose-bumps every time we saw the parades.

I lost friends in Viet Nam, both times in Iraq and in the Pentagon and Towers on 9/11. I cannot imagine my life without having people in uniform around me and still feel proud of those who serve.

So, needless to say I'm a 57 year old ''Army Brat'' and PROUD!

YouTube - GEORGIA ON MY MIND Michael Bolton and Kenny G. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ouKlqbONGg&feature=related)

This is the song that reminds me of 'home' and where my daughter was born. I love the way Michael sings it too. So, my dears when you hear it, please remember me - no matter where we are.

No worry folks, I am just having a few sentimental moments of wonderful times, places and events in life and am sharing them with you.

Love,
Chery
