I just realized I wrote... Mr. #2... hee hee... good name for him! ;)

That was nice of your friend to take you out Rebby!

Two towns away??.....eeeeeekkkkkkk!! Sounds like something I would do!! ;)

Sorry Reb, everyone seemed to be gone again when you came in! :( I'm here if you are! I was chattin away on the phone, and got interupted 3 times by Mr #2....urrrrggghhhh!!

I seem to keep missing everyone. Apparently I am also not known for my timing! LOL

Thanks for saying hi... I would have really felt lonesome if you had not. Mr. #2 just isn't giving up, is he? You stay safe sweet friend.

I am a little loopy. I don't do real well after 1:30 a.m. You okay?? Nothing scary? I thought you did a great thing by posting to that gal today with the child. She must feel so isolated even though family is close. You know how I felt, I stood alone when we had the death threats on the kids and all that went with that. We aren't alone but one feels they are when going through such trauma. YOU DID GOOD STARBY1! :p

Hi everyone.

... trouble sleeping again. This is getting annoying.

Rebbie, how long did you drive until you realized you were going the wrong way?

If it makes you feel any better... I was once at a party... I admit, I drank a bit... but after sobering up for 2 hours, I thought I was OK to drive.. . I was not. I realized, after driving for 40 minutes, I was heading towards Alabama.

... checked into a motel.

Yeah, I thought about that when I read it! LOL We have to find our humor where we can!! Great medicine for the soul.

Starbs. #2? Love it.

I do the same thing. #1, 2, crazy 1, beautiful 1, #3, crazy 2, etc.

Hey Sneezy! Oh gosh, I drove probably five miles before it hit me how far wrong I had gone, then came town one and it is not known to be a safe place, town two was no where to be found. I drove further. I saw some lights that looked like a stadium of sorts with lights on! Yahoo! Saw the hwy sign, took the exit, went across the bridge and back on the hwy going the other way! I sure hated to admit to my friend where I was but she was worried. We had a good laugh but I get disoriented at night driving anyway. Nothing looked familiar all the way back home!!

Hey Sneezy, my doctor told me when I can't go to sleep to run in place for three to five minutes, real quick steps, already be ready for bed, then go to bed. He says that as your heart begins to slow down, your body will go to sleep faster. I tried it and it worked.

Does this have merit?? Just a thought. I don't go to sleep easily as you can tell by the hours I am on here.

Starby, you still have your days and nights mixed up, don't you??

I seem to keep missing everyone. Apparently I am also not known for my timing! LOL

You did good too Rebby! I hate hearing when someone is going through stuff like that with abusive men, and death threats!

I'm fine! Mr #2 was really starting to freakin annoy me though. I was talking to Alty, and a private # came up. I wasn't going to answer, but then I did. It was him. I told him I didn't have time to talk to him, and that I was sleeping (a little what lie... oops). I hung up and he called 3 more times! Then Niki started barking. He better not be hanging around my house! I have enough to deal with, with #1! :rolleyes:

I hope he realises I know the # to the police dept off by heart at this point... and 911 is pretty handy too! He wouldn't like that! Too damn bad though! I've got more guts than I used to have, and I won't put up with his bull!

Sneezer! I thought you were off getting beauty sleep!

Actually, I try not to exercise before going to bed... gets my adrenaline up... gets me pumped up.

I used to be able to pass out in 30 seconds (really. My record is 27 seconds). But now... I'm not sure what's going on. I'm probably going to check out a health store to pick up some valerian root tomorrow.

Starby, glad you are okay. Are you still on the phone with Alty?? If so, I will bid you and Sneezy a good night's sleep but if you are alone and not on the phone, lets stay in touch until we know #2 is leaving you alone for the night, k??

Hi everyone.

...checked into a motel.


I used to get lost when I lived in the country with #2. I would get myself turned in circles, and would end up being miles from home with no lights, no clue, and no cell phone! I remember sleeping in my car one night, because I had no idea where I was, and of course the country roads don't have many signs!

I had always had the same experience as you with exercise before bed, I get pumped and ready for the day (which at night is not a good thing! LOL) I wondered if I was just tired that night or if it was because of the fast action in just three minutes, didn't have time to rev me up too much. Don't know. You have so much going on, don't know how you ever sleep. I wish you a fast and multiplied sleep tonight when you do fall asleep! Soft music, deep cleansing breaths, in through the nose to the count of four and out through pursed lipe slowly to the count of six... I am just full of suggestions aren't Must have been that long dark drive, got me revved. LOL

Revved... or... rebbed?

... tee hee

Starby, you are one brave girl. I would not have wanted to sleep in my car but I was getting a tiny bit panicked even though in my head, I knew I shouldn't. Where did that courage go that Stringer gave me?? LOL All used up?? Naw, just not developed to it's fullest I think.

revved...or...rebbed?

...tee hee

Hey, you are "ON" tonight! You quick thinker you!! :p Loved it!

I got off the phone with Alty about a half hr ago! She was coughing so much, and her voice was getting really squeaky!

I don't worry so much about #2 anymore Rebby. He used to be able to control me and tell what to do, and he knew that I would seldom call the cops. Those days are long gone! He knows I would call the cops at the drop of a hat now, and he is very afraid that I will do that. He doesn't want his outstanding reputation to be ruined. I'm more worried about Nigel, and not so much about #2.

(oh, and before when I said #1 before,. I meant #3 (nigel). Geez these #'s screw me up! LOL!

:eek: HEY!! Isn't this past curfew for all of you people? I might have to call the authorities! Can't have kids running around this late at night! :D

Clougy dahling! You won't call the sleep police on us will you? ;) :p

Looks like Sneezy must have gotten to sleep! What do you think? Hope so, bless his heart. He must be so tired studying so much!

Yeah, I noticed the #'s but I finally have them straight in my head thanks to your note today. I had a busy day but will get it answered! I appreciate your e-mails. Keep ;em coming!

Well, if you feel safe, I will get off here then and hope you sleep well but you call me if you need me. PROMISE??

OH MY GOSH STARBY!! We got caught! I bet we could talk Clough out of calling the authorities, don't you?? You are a good talker. You go first. LOL

:eek: HEY!!!! Isn't this past curfew for all of you people?! I might have to call the authorities! Can't have kids running around this late at night! :D

Hey waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttt, just a little minute here Clough! I think something happened tonight. Is it a full moon or something because usually, your Guardian Angel is reminding YOU to go to bed and get some rest and NOT the other way around. Nothing stays the same... what to do, what to do. :eek:

Hee hee! I betcha we can serve Cloughy a nice glass of our secret vino, and he will let us go with a warning!

I will call you Rebby girl, if I feel something is up! PROMISE PROMISE! Thank you sweetheart! :D

Starby, you better call if you need to talk!! I am here for you!

I think Mr. Clough just popped in to give us a warning and vamoosed on us, what do you think??

Well, I got to fly! Later Gators!! Sweet Sleep to all! Love and Hugs! :)

Starby, you better call if you need to talk!!! I am here for you!

I think Mr. Clough just popped in to give us a warning and vamoosed on us, what do you think???

:eek:... maybe he is calling in the secret service? Do you think they have us surrounded?

I always hate to keep you up or worse yet, wake you Rebby!

Well, I gotta fly! Later Gators!!! Sweet Sleep to all! Love and Hugs! :)

Right back at you! Sweet dreams Rebby! Sleep tight! :)

EDIT:... and G'nite McSneeze... I hope you fell asleep, and sleep well!. and you too Cloughy!. N'nite all!

Hi you all!! WOW! You get really fast, already near the 800's. Another half and the thread will be forced to be closed down. I've not caught up with you yet. I saved the previous pages, but still around the 300's.

Hope you are all fine.

Alty, hope you get rid of that infection soon, and sorry that your son caught it too... but I hear that he'll be allright very soon, or else already in the good health.

Alty's son only got the 24 hr version. He's fine for now! Alty sounded so sick again tonight on the phone! She has a horrible cough, and we had to hang up after awhile because her voice was giving out on her! :(

Yeah, I was just popping in! Just remember that I will be keeping an eye on you! I'll let you stay out just this once... but, next time, you'd better be looking over your shoulders! I'd hate to see you all get busted! But, that's life in the fast lane, I guess... :rolleyes:

Yes Sir... I will try not to break curfew again Sir... I'm sorry Sir... I shall try and behave Sir... really, I will!. no really! :p ;)

Yes Sir.......I will try not to break curfew again Sir.......... I'm sorry Sir.........I shall try and behave Sir.........really, I will!!........no really!! :p ;)

Now, that's more like it!!

**bowing down** I shall take my punishment like a lady!

G'nite Cloughy... I really should get to bed... eeeeekkkkk... 4:30am again!

Starby girl, we have to get you back on track, night time is for sleep, day time is for waky, waky. Got it? ;)

Helloooo all!

Lily's back with me today! Lily's back with me today!

I realized that although she gets a lot more play time at home, she also is getting "untrained"... didn't think that was possible. My parents walk her about 5 times a day, for fear of her peeing on the carpet... and thus, now her pee schedule's off... she used to be able to hold it for about 9 hours... and now, no more than 3 hours or so.

... yikes. Any ideas?

Lilyyyy!. Come here Lily! Yessssss... big kisses Lily!. okay, not the lips Lily... no, no... not the lips... Lily that tickles!

Looks like you just might have you might just have to house train her all over again Sneezer! :( It shouldn't take as long though, because she has learned it before!

Oof. Hello errone. Whew. Long day today.

Lily's just completely out of sorts today. I'm assuming the new apartment isn't helping... but she's just not eating... mostly sleeping...

.. she may be mad at me. As most of you may/may not know... she's like a clingy girlfriend... and earlier, I was walking her and a girl stopped me and we talked for about 10 minutes... and I could tell... lily got really jealous.. . I guess I'll be sleeping in the crate tonight, as I'll be "in the dog house"

Aw, poor Lily, she missed her daddy. Lily billy goat, don't be mad at Sneezy, he lub, lub, lubs you sooooo much. Big kisses for daddy, come on Lily you can do it, right in his mouth. He doesn't care that you were licking your bum, just give him kisses. Good girl. Does Auntie Alty have to come over? Give Lily pants some hugs and kisses? Maybe I should bring one of my bunny's, you two can play.

Sneezy, she'll adjust again, she just missed you. :)

Bah. She's just sitting in her crate. Doesn't want to come out and play.. . she does this. I'll give her some time to adjust... she'll probably climb in bed with me later when I'm sleeping... then go back in her crate before I wake up JUST to spite me.

... psh, women.

Has she ever peed in your slippers? My dog used to do that when he was mad at me. I would usually let it go, I understood why he did it, but one time he peed on my brand new, beautiful, leather, high heel, boots, they cost $125.00. I was 16, I had to work hard for that money and I hadn't even worn the darn boots yet. The pee wouldn't come out, it stained the leather. Boy was that pup in trouble. ;)

No, she'll actually just leave me a nice pile in the morning.. . I know she does it out of spite too.. . that little bugger.

I actually took some pictures of her today. Let me find these.

Poor Lily! Sneezy, can you fit in the crate? You might have to sleep there tonight while Lily gets the whole bed! LOL! Princess Lily is home, and is snubbing her nose at Daddy, just to put him in his place again! Hee Hee!

I'd love to see the pics. Sounds like daddy missed Lily too. :)

Hey Starby, how are you doing?

I can just see Princess Lily walking around, her little nose in the air, and every time Sneezy says something to her she turns around, snorts and walks away. Lily has poor Sneezy wrapped around her little paw. ;)

I was just giving Niki her "Princess" meal, that I usually try to give her a few times a week! She got chicken, corn and gravy, mixed of course with her normal food. She's a happy camper right now.

Are you feeling any better Alty? I heard you slept a bit better!

Oh, and you liked my letter eh? I was getting madder and madder and madder! LOL!

Feeling a tiny bit better, but still pretty sick. The neocitrin really helped last night, I was actually able to breath a bit. The nasal spray my doc gave me is great too, unfortunately I'm only allowed to use it once a day and it only lasts around 8 hours, so that sucks. Hopefully I'll feel even better tomorrow.

Right now Cotton is hoping around in the basement exploring. Him and Indy are sniffing noses, it's sooooo cute. ;)

Yeah... be careful with that nasal spray... thing gets really addictive.

I just learned something new Sneezer! Stop laughing! :p I'm watching a show on TV, and I've just learned why you shouldn't crush your medication, and then take it in water or something else. Interesting! I would have never thunk!. not that I've ever crushed any of mine!

Haha starbs. No, it's actually a pretty common misconception. Some drugs (tylenol... aspirin.. etc) are OK... but yeah, a lot of drugs are time-released drugs... especially prescription drugs, and crushing them will make the body absorb them a LOTTT faster...

Well what they just explained, was that a lot of drugs have "filler", along with the actual drug. If you are taking them over a long period,. like pain killers... if you crush them, the filler can somehow get into your lungs, and over a period will cause a fatal heart attack. I'm watching a show where someone was murdered this way.

Sneezy, I like your answer. I am so crushing my antibiotics. ;)

Can I have a beer today too? :)

Cheeeerrrrrzzzzzz!! Alty! :D

Hm. Filler... goes in the lungs?. really? Not sure if I've ever heard that... but it's possible, I guess? I like the new method of killing though, noted.

Yes alty, you may have a beer ;) I will have one later tonight as well.

10749

10750

Pictures from today. Had ribs for lunch... decided to bring some home. She loved me then.

Awwww, she's soooo cute. What a little snuggle bug. Lily, if you don't want to live with daddy you can come live with me. You can even sleep with me on my big bed. The kids would love Lily, she's just their size. ;)

hm. filler...goes in the lungs? ...really? not sure if I've ever heard that...but it's possible, I guess? I like the new method of killing though, noted.

yes alty, you may have a beer ;) I will have one later tonight as well.

LOL... Silly Sneezer! This guy was a Dr. and he murdered his wife that way. Well not exactly that way, although it was explained about the filler and taking some meds crushed and in water, has the same effect, but it would take longer.

This guy's wife was having bad headaches, so he was crushing Oxycodone, and injecting it. She died within weeks of hearfailure. They found the filler in her lungs, and were eventually able to find the Dr. guilty.

Yep. She's my 5 pounder.. . I often get a lot of looks from girls. Not the "wow...she's cute...and him too" but more along the lines of "...hm. tiny dog. possibly gay?"

Good lord.. . doctors and their creatively killing ways.

... coulda just as easily have done other things, like... well... heh... um...

... so what's new?

yep. she's my 5 pounder. ...I often get a lot of looks from girls. Not the "wow...she's cute...and him too" but more along the lines of "...hm. tiny dog. possibly gay?"

Hmmm, interesting, I'd think she'd be a chick magnet, after all, she's freaking adorable. Such a cutie wutie little lady. :)

Sneezy, when you come to visit me, bring Lily, but I warn you, you might not get her back. :)

Just the peeerrrfect size bones for miss Lily! I'm sure she just needs to get used to being home with you, but is a little confused because it's a different home! She will help you make friends with all the girls around the pool though! Not like you need much help! ;):D

Sneezy, you got your fifth greenie square. Congrats. :)

good lord. ...doctors and their creatively killing ways.

...coulda just as easily have done other things, like...well...heh...um...

...so what's new?

:eek: :eek: :eek:... Sneezy's been studying too much!! :eek: :p

Thanks! I worked hard for it! (... not... really. Told some girls not to get pregnant, is all ;))

While lily's mad at me, I'm going to head over to get some groceries. Anyone need anything? Alty, got your beer? Starbs, got your beer/smokes/bat for the ex?

Could you grab me a Taser? You know, just the no name brand! I only need a few thousand volts, and the rest I will handle with my bat!. oh and bread please! :p

I could really go for a chocolate bar, or an icecream, ooooh, milkshake sounds good, or a burger, fries, no, onion rings, wait, onion rings bad, how about poutine? Whatever, I'm not picky. :);)

Starby, you busy? Call me. ;)

Could you grab me a Taser?? You know, just the no name brand!! I only need a few thousand volts, and the rest I will handle with my bat!!............oh and bread please! :p

Funny you said that... mom just asked me today for a taser.

... it was a bizarre moment. We were all sitting at a restaurant, eating... my father and I were discussing the business, when my mom suddenly looked at me, and asks, "...can you get me a taser? preferably the highest voltage possible?" then continued eating.

... the look on my dad's face... priceless.

Just looked up poutine. Apparently, it's a canadian thing.

... it looks like a heart-attack on a platter.. . and beautiful.

HAHAHAHA!. Why did your Mom need a Taser? They are illegal here for people to carry. So is pepper spray! :eek: I have my own concoction though!

I will call you shortly Alty!

Poutine is a heart attack on a platter, but sooooo worth it. It's yummy and was the one thing I had a constant craving for when I was pregnant with Jared. Didn't help that I worked in a high rise with a restaurant downstairs that makes the best poutine I've ever had. Maybe that's why I gained so much weight when I was pregnant. Hmmm, something to think about. ;)

Pepper spray, taser, pshaw, who needs those, a good kick to the groin works every time, if it didn't I'd be dead three times over already.

I knew when you said Poutine, that Sneezer was going to go... what?? LOL! I am always embarrassed to order it! It sounds so much like another word... doesn't it?? LOL!! ;)

What word Starby, say it, say it, dare you, say it! :);)

... god, I want something like that now. They have a pub down the street and they call it "pub fries"... it's fries, mozzarella cheese, bacon chunks, and jalapeños...

... I usually eat it and then pray that I don't die that night.

Starbs, I have no idea why my mom needed a taser, as my parents are inseparable. I don't think they've spent 8 hours apart. Nevertheless... just ordered one.

... a MILLION volts.

... A MILLION VOLTS?! Isn't 100k volts enough to debilitate someone and render them useless? They're usually on the floor writhing and wetting themselves at 100k...

... they made a MILLION VOLT-taser.

... bravo, america. Bravo.

I'm a proper girl... I would never say such a word! You say it Alty... you say it! I'm just too shy!

I love saying words that I totally forget are exclusively Canadian, and have the Americans wondering... W T..?

1 million volts? Remind me not to mess with your mom. ;)

Poutine?. what... does that sound like? Wait... is it one of those words that doesn't sound like it's spelled? Drat.

Alty, love the new signature... but... I think the html-ing is a bit off.

That's the one I want Sneezer! That's the one! I might get arrested, but that's the one! I'll show those guys not to mess with the Starbster!

I like my pepper spray mixture, but a taser is quicker! ;) :D... and I would find a little enjoyment out of seeing him wet himself too!! :D :p

poutine? ...what...does that sound like? wait...is it one of those words that doesn't sound like it's spelled? drat.

alty, love the new signature...but...I think the html-ing is a bit off.


I don't think I'm allowed to write what it sounds like here. ;)

I just fixed the sig, accidentally hit save instead of preview. ;)

Love the first one ;)

OK. Really need to get to the grocery store before I get too lazy. I'm off! Be back in a few!

I don't know how to spell it! Is it a Canadian word also? LOL!. Poontang!. get me now?

Oh, Sneezy and Starby, hubby and I are looking in to getting a free long distance plan, when that happens I can call you.

Sneezy, Starby says you have a sexy voice. Oops, was I allowed to tell him that Starbs? ;)

Don't forget my chocolate Sneezy. :)

Someone mentioned an interest in archeology earlier and can't recall who it was. Perhaps Stringer or M?? Anyway, wondered if whoever it was had viewed the following thread:

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/archaeology/anyone-forum-active-hunting-arrowhead-indian-artifacts-158227.html

I posted some pieces on the thread that I have found and others did also.

Kind of off subject of the Park but didn't want to forget to mention it. :)

Hm. I don't remember the archaeology thing... but... we'll see?

I'm back! Apparently, there's a square mile power outage... so everything was mayhem. Stores, gas stations, traffic lights... all out.. . so I had to drive a widdle bit more. Got lily some treats...

... she refuses to touch it.. . darn this woman.

Just a quick question here...

It seems that you are getting "greemies" left and right lately and I'm glad for you all...

I know that you don't get them on "Lounge Sites" but I have been a member since July 2007 and I have about 77 or 78 positive "green" responses from advice and answers I have given on many posts... and I still have only one "greenie"? And I got that about 7 or 8 months ago. I PMed one of the Administrators and was told, very nicely I might add, that they are not given for Lounge responses... but (read above)... oh well, maybe I just fell through the crack... who knows.. Just wondering.. :) :)
Stringer

Poor stringy. Do you want a greenie?

There.. . actually, I didn't give you a greenie because I like you. I actually thought it was pretty good... plus, I learned a little from it.

I think I'm heading out y'all. (... can you imagine an asian kid saying y'all?)

2am. Can't sleep again.. . so... going to study. Be back in a little.

"there. ...actually, I didn't give you a greenie because I like ya. I actually thought it was pretty good...plus, I learned a little from it."- Sneezy

Sorry Sneezy, maybe I am tired but I am confused by this.. :)

Nite ..all try to check in tomorrow sometime after church and breakfast....hee hee

Stringer

Sneezy, Starby says you have a sexy voice. Oops, was I allowed to tell him that Starbs? ;)

Starby said the same about you ;)

Stringy:

.. maybe it's because I'm tired... because I don't understand what you don't understand :(

It's this post:

Thank you Sneezy... I appreciate it very much.

But I am still wondering that after all this time and that many responses (77-78) why only one "greenie"? I see people with 20-25 posts, brand new to AMHD and they already have one..
Over a year now and I still have... 1.. :confused: :)

Haha, sorry stringy.. . most of the ones I get are from relationship/health forums. Usual questions are:

"my girlfriend needs space"

And

"am I pregnant?"

starby said the same about you ;)

ROFLMAO!. You're a funny man!. still LMAO!. that was cute! :D :p

Stringer sweetie. Everyone gets one green square as soon as they sign up as a member. Additional green squares are given when you've received 100 agrees. In other words, if you have 77 agrees, you are 33 away from getting another greenie square. Hope that clears it up sweets. :)

(whispers)

23 alty... 23

starby said the same about you ;)


She did, did she? It must be my sexy phlegm. ;)

Yup, sexy voice and a face made for radio. :p :p

(whispers)

23 alty...23

Shoot, darnit, now I can't do math, what the heck is wrong with me? Okay, I'll admit, I suck at math, but I can add, usually. :(

She did, she did.

How's everyone enjoying their Sunday? A buddy of mine just called... to tell me that he's coming into town, and that he'll be spending the night.. . fan... tastic. Ah, he's been my best friend since high school, so... yeah.. . I'll be stepping out so I can study for the next few.

It's OK. Leave the math to me. You take the rest. ;)

How're you feeling?

Sunday, Shmunday, still sick, still can't sleep, can't stop coughing, and can't hear well because of the fluid in my ears. I'm miserable. I am feeling a bit better, but not as well as I'd hoped. Oh well, I'll be okay, only the good die young. ;)

I hope you have a great time with your friend Sneezy, go paint the town red. :)

Can't. He's... a very... strict... christian.

... and I am not.

Our ideas of "painting the town red" clash... like oil and water.

Darn, that's not fun. So, what are you going to do?

How about renting a movie? Something PG. He can eat popcorn, you can drink beer. ;)

Yeah. Most likely. You think I'm joking, but... I am not. No drinking, no smoking, no gambling, and no cursing.. . and we try to avoid as many beautiful women as possible.

... I guess it's bingo night and jello at the retirement home down the street.

What's wrong with beautiful women, how is that against his religion? I mean talking to of course. ;)

B 4, Bingo. Just don't fight with the 80 year old sitting next to you. ;)

As for the jello, jello shots are yummy! :):)

... jello shots... what a NOVEL idea.

... I'm definitely taking a few to this shindigggg, maybe I can get a 70-year old date for next week.

I'm outtie everyone! Hold down the fort for me alty, it seems that the newcomers are getting dumber and dumber.

I saw that, reported him.

Have a good time studying, remember, be a sponge, soak it all in. :)

Try and have fun tonight, and say hi to all the old ladies for me. Big smile, like you mean it. :):)

What have I missed?!

Recap: Football camp, missed 5 days. Now I'm here

Oh, and if anyone cares. I had my 1st cup of starbucks today. Last time I had starbucks was at least 10 years ago

It was A Frappuccino Light Blended Crème, Double Chocolate Chip
Soooooooooooooooooooo... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

I see why you people could get addicted

Welcome to coffee addiction Guy, it's fun. Wait until you get the shakes because you don't have coffee, then you'll get the full coffee experience. :);)

The shakes are just the beginning.

You're fully addicted when you're banging down the door at sbucks at 2am because you need a buzz... and when you start threatening the barista, "I don't care if 20 espresso shots are illegal!!! GET IT DONE!"

As long as you don't bring a weapon, it's all good Sneezy. :);)

I ran out of coffee today, had to use instant. It's bad enough I'm sick, but instant coffee, that's like having an arrow bar instead of Godiva, really, that bad. :(

Stringer sweetie. Everyone gets one green square as soon as they sign up as a member. Additional green squares are given when you've received 100 agrees. In other words, if you have 77 agrees, you are 33 away from getting another greenie square. Hope that clears it up sweets. :)

Thanks, I can see clearly now.......and it is understood....thanks again Alty.:)

And thank you Starbuck for the PM on this...and yes you also Sneezer....ha ha:p :) :p

Stringer

I can see clearly now the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way, Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind, It's going to be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.:):):)

For you Stringer.

Good... my dear, I am glad to see (hear) that you are feeling a little better, but how much did you pay for those lessons? Hee hee:confused: :) :p

Stringer

Actually Stringer, Starby and I (we're on the phone with eachother) just discovered that we have absolutely no singing talent whatsoever. We're forming a band, we're calling ourselves "the tone deafs", catchy isn't it?

As for feeling better, a teeny bit, but still not great. I just took another antibiotic, one more to go and I'm done. Hopefully this little infection will leave soon, otherwise I will be forced to take drastic measures, don't ask what, because I don't know yet. ;)

It is illegal to cut off body parts and leave them in the streets Alty... I would say that if in 3 more days you are still not up to par... go back to the doctor for sure. You may need something stronger to kick this in its butt!!

I'm in the mood to kick butt, especially this infections butt. Will do Stringer, if I'm not better in a few days, back to the doc I go. Sigh. ;)

Hi all. I know it's late for you but its early for me. Here 'bout 7.30 am. I hope that alty is doing better from the past few days.

What I learn! Cut body parts and thow on the roads! :eek: Sounds like in an horor film to me.

Hey Unky,

I'm doing a bit better, hopefully on the road to recovery. I'm still coughing all the time and it's driving me crazy, but hopefully that will end soon. :)

How are you?

Ok girls you just have to watch this , this is about as cute as it gets...

YouTube - "Britains Got Talent * Connie, 6, WOWs Simon Cowell !!!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWNoiVrJDsE)

Wow, I can't believe the voice on that little girl. Wow, that's all I can say. One more, WOW!

I knew you'd love that Alty , here's some more from her...

YouTube - Connie Talbot, 6, BEN Britains Got Talent * Semi Final (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnUOJonRcCw)

I can't believe the voice on that little girl. Really, WOW, WOW, WOW! :)

I know apparently she also did a version of "I will always Love you" by Whitney , just trying to find it now.

I actually listened to that one, it pops up when you go to the first link that you posted. She's a wonderful singer, has a very long career ahead of her.

Hi everyonnnneee!

Sneezer Weezer?. what are you doing up again? ;)

If that isn't the voice of an Angel, I don't know what is!

This is a funny time to say G'nite Stringy... but G'nite for me, and G'mornin to you! Just thought I would drop in and say HI and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! ;)

Hey guys! :) Well, I'm officially out of my apt in Nashville... and all my earthly possessions (minus my shoes, of course) are on a truck on the way to my new place. :)

What a weekend!

Hi everyone. Just checking in. looks like I'll be spending most of my day at the library. So... I'll be back... much.. much... later.

Hi Sneezy dear! Don't study too hard! :)

Affternoon all. I actually got to sleep in today. Hubby has the day off and he got up with the kids. I'm still really stuffy, and coughing, but doing a bit better.

HC, I'm glad that your packing is done and that you're almost moved in. I hate moving, it's such a chore. Hubby and I have been thinking about buying an acreage, but when we look around at all the stuff we'd have to pack, we just stay put. Maybe when the kids are older, then they can help. :);)

Starby hope you finally got some well deserved sleep hon... :)

HC... congratulations... nice to be in "one" place huh?:D

Hi Stringer, how was your meeting?

Hi Stringer, how was your meeting?

Depressing Alty... can't get the point across to some people... thick headed... :eek:

I always leave these things stressed... I need to find a way to not be so heavily involved to the point of exhaustion... :rolleyes:

Thanks for asking sweet... :)

Aw, Stringer, I'm sorry that it's so stressful. I wish I knew of a way to help. Sorry.

Other than that, how's your day going?

Hey guys... yes, being in ONE place is good... can't wait until all my stuff is in that same "one place!" Should be Friday or Saturday.

I'm super busy today - writing Sports pieces for a new athletics promo dealy-do. :)

Dealy-do, love it. :)

So HC, how was your date on Thursday?

:D

'Nuff said. ;)

Aw, Stringer, I'm sorry that it's so stressful. I wish I knew of a way to help. Sorry.

Other than that, how's your day going? Ah huh... just "peachy" hon... since then all I have had have been stupid phone calls from these idiots who didn't "get it" when they were in the meeting... IF THEY HAD READ the prep for the meeting they would have know a little... geeeeeze! I am tired of hand holding these $#!%$&&. They need a wake up call...

And how has your day been going so far my Queen?:D

Thank you so much for sharing, dear. She's beautiful.

I sent it out to all my friends and family. The sax in background isn't bad either.

This made my day. Been a little under the weather - my monster is growing and taking a bit too much oxygen from me lately. Hoping to get a portable oxygen unit soon. This heat is getting me so forgive me if I don't visit here too much for a few days.

Still here, and love to you all,

Chery, I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. My mom had an oxygen unit in her house, and then mine when she came to live with us. It had a super long cord so that she could walk all around the house, but once in a while she'd get hung up on something, forcing her to re-trace her steps, only to find that she had walked around the coffee table or something else and forgotten to walk back around to untangle herself. She joked that now she knew how our dog felt when he walked around a tree and got himself tangled.

I hope that you will feel better soon, know that we are here for you and praying for you, and that we all love you so much.

Get better Momma C.

And how has your day been going so far my Queen?:D

My day is going all right, considering that I'm still under the weather. I'm going to do some cleaning today, it's been pretty much left untouched for 2 weeks because I've been sick. Now I have a huge mess to clean up. I'll get started today, but I won't push myself too much, don't want to get worse than I am. :)

A wake up call, hmmmm, how about a few warnings, do this or your job is on the line type warning? Sounds like these guys need a swift kick in the butt. Sorry it's so frustrating for you Stringer. Wish I could put a smile on your face and make it easier for you. :)

Just keep in touch please, Stringer:)

JUST by telling me that... did, Alty thanks.

JUST by telling me that..........did, Alty thanks.

Aw, I'm glad Stringer dear. :) You're welcome, any time my dear. :)

Hellooooo everyone.

Just checking in. I would ask how everyone's doing, but it seems that it's unnecessary as everyone updated their status.

... so... what's up folks?

Hey Sneezy,

I'm up. I need to clean house but I don't want to. Now I'm making excuses. Things like, oooh, I'm needed on AMHD, can't clean house right now. Yup, lame excuses. ;)

How's the studying going?

It's... going. I was studying on my patio until the heat got too unbearable. Lily agreed.

I need to clean my apartment too.. . wanna ditch together?

I'll tell myself that alty needs me for medical advice... you can tell yourself that I need you for your sage wisdom.

Ok, Alty... you get three lashes with a wet noodle for that lame excuse. Enough said on that subject. We enjoy you on here and hope that you'll survive the lashes so that you can get back and chat with us again soon.

By the way, I didn't do my dishes today... they'll wait calmly for me to deal with tomorrow.

Love it! Love it! Do you think anyone will buy it? ;)

Oh, just to add to the crap sandwich that is today...

Disney just raised their prices.

... damn them. Dreams shouldn't cost that much.

Love it! Love it! Do you think anyone will buy it? ;)

OK, Sneezy and Alty, I'll cover for both of you as long as you promise to get the work done by Friday so that you can have a good weekend.

Momma C.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_11_2.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Aw, poor Sneezy.

Want me to cheer you up?

Things to ponder

Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?

Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

If you can't drink and drive, why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor, and why do bars have parking lots?

Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime?

I promise I'll try to get the work done~

OK, Sneezy and Alty, I'll cover for both of you as long as you promise to get the work done by Friday so that you can have a good weekend.

Oh, just to add to the crap sandwich that is today...

Disney just raised their prices.

...damn them. Dreams shouldn't cost that much.

I agree! We should force Mickey and the crew to go on a diet. That should reduce the price. Maybe I should call Arnie and ask him for advice...

I'm so sorry you are not feeling well again Momma C. Just know we all want you to feel better, and we are always thinking about you. Get the rest you need, and remember that we all love you bunches!

Ditto! Feel better, Chery! :)

Starby, if I am remembering correctly, I told you I would post the "Computer Cake" on this thread that I made for my son. It was half chocolate, half white cake with almond flavored icing. The total computer, monitor and keyboard is made of cake. I took a couple of small dowel rods and ran through to keep it from sliding. Hope you enjoy viewing it!!

Chery, glad you are feeling better! We just want you healthy and giving us support, love or "WHAT FOR" if we need it!! Keep us straight!

Stringer, hope you are feeling better from you day of stress at work.

Alty, glad you are getting better, bit by bit, just wish it was by leaps and bounds instead!! :p

HC, hope you are getting all settled in!! Big adjustment?

Did I miss anyone on the thread right now? I apologize if I did. Oh, I think I may have spotted Sneezy on here earlier!

Didn't see M or Unky or other friends we usually see. Hope all of you are doing great! :)

That's a great cake Rebby , good Job!!

Love the cake Rebbie. Hey, my daughter's turning 6 on August 26, and my son will be 10 on September 4, any cake ideas? If you need some info, here it is;

My daughter loves anything pink, princess, ballet, girlie, girlie. :)

My son loves soccer, cars, video games and anything boyish, boyish. :)

Keep in mind that any ideas you have would need to be followed by step by step instructions, because I can bake, I am artistic, but making a cake like you did, I have absolutely no idea how. :)

Thank you M! I am glad you enjoyed seeing it.

Yes Alty, I have tons of ideas! You did see the Castle Cake... that is one idea. I will post more when I find photos. Actually, the computer cake was easy as soon as I figured out how to cut it and piece it. Many cakes I have done, I do with just cake from a 9x12 square corner pan. I use Wilton pans. They are aluminum and square corners, not rounded. I have made little trains, this computer cake, an airplane, etc. just from cutting pieces and putting them together. Instructions would be easy if you have a few icing bags or you can make a funnel with wax paer and cut tip for the icing tip to fit in. Three basic tips work just fine for most cakes. I will most more later and if you see any you are interested in, let me know. :)

Thanks Rebbie. I'd love to make a really special cake for the kids. I usually bake their cakes but they're just ordinary iced cakes with the kids names and happy birthday. Something special and unique would be great, I know the kids would love it.

I can't believe it's August already. I have to get both kids their back to school supplies, pay busing fees, school fees and then of course both their birthdays. August and September are expensive months. :(

I will have to go through photos and find some of my cakes so may be a few days but still have time since Aug. 26th is not quite here yet. My husbands birthday is tomorrow. Growing up, he only had one birthday cake ever so of course I had to go overboard for him through the years!! Although the kids loved them, I think they sort of took them for granted but I enjoyed doing them. I made an airplane cake for my brother when he got his pilot's license! He wouldn't cut it!! They put it in the freezer, kept it a year, then got it out and enjoyed it! That was a sweet compliment but I say, bake it, decorate it, enjoy it and it's a done deal!! LOL

I agree, although I'd have a hard time cutting it up as well. Your castle cake was a work of art, but you'll always have the pictures after it's gone, right. :)

Now if only I can decide what presents to buy the kids, I'll be all set. :)

::clears throat::

Helloooo

Hey Sneezy baby. How you doing?

I'm not doing too hot alty. Having a rough day.

... so I'm lashing out on AMHD-ers. It's OK. They had it coming.. . a 12 year old just asked what she should do on a date... at the movies... with a 16 year old.

... I'm not having kids. Nope.

Aw, Sneezy, tell Auntie Alty all about it. Do you need a hug?

As for having kids, don't judge all by a few. Kids are a product of their environment, so naturally yours would be great. Never say never, because you never know. :)

Now, what's wrong sweets?

Eh, I'm just whining. Feel like being whiny today ;)

Studying's going fine. Just banging it out.

Restaurant... no word, but... it takes a couple of weeks, so no worries.

I think I'm just cranky... haven't had much sleep lately. Had trouble falling asleep... physically, I'm exhausted, but when I lay down, nothing. I used to be able to fall asleep in 30 seconds. (hc calls it "passing out" and not "falling asleep"... eh, semantics).

But lately, I lay down... say... 2am... and nothing. I've tried drinking, and it's helped a bit, but again, it's more like "passing out drunk".

Went to the doc, gave me a sample of ambien... but I'm not a huge fan of drug-induced sleep (like drinking isn't... ). I've always gotten about 3 - 5 hours of sleep a night since high school (explains my height) but that was never the problem, at least I could fall asleep whenever I wanted to. Not so much lately. If I'm lucky, 2 hours. If not... oh boy.

Well you're under allot of stress lately, the Mcats are almost here, you've been studying non stop, you have a restaurant deal in the works, Lily just came home, is it any wonder that you can't fall asleep?

Here's a little trick I learned long ago, it works for me, maybe it will work for you. When you lay on you bed picture your toes in your head, picture all of the energy in your feet leaving through your toes, concentrate, visualize it, then move on to your legs, waist, chest, arms, hands, head, with each one visualize the energy draining out. It helps you relax, helps you to not think about all the things going on in your life, just concentrate, see if it works. :)

Forget zen meditation.

Alty's "your energy (or soul) is seeping through your body" meditation.

I'll definitely give that a try tonight :)

And how are YOU feeling? Your body feeling as sexy as your voice?

Let me know if it works for you. Works for me every time, I'm usually asleep before I get to my waist. :)

I've actually thought this through and have realized that I've never "fallen asleep" (thanks hc... for that... instigating thought). I've always passed out.

... how the heck do you fall asleep?! I've heard people that just lay down, and "swirl into oblivion"... what the heck?

This is my idea of "sleep":

My head touches my pillow. I close my eyes. Black-out. 30 seconds... 1 minute tops.

Wow, I wish. I am a vivid dreamer, that's how I usually fall asleep, I think about something I enjoy and act out a little scenario in my head, usually I fall asleep within 5 minutes of that and continue dreaming about it throughout the night. Yep, love my dreams. ;)

When I have allot on my mind I can't usually hold a dream in my head, it gets pushed out by my worries, that's when I use the method I told you about. Works every time. :)

I hope CM finds a tattoo she likes, personally I love the chinese symbols and the symbolism of the cherry blossom in Japan. I am getting my second tattoo in the winter, I want three flowers, two in full bloom to represent my two kids, and one that hasn't bloomed to represent the baby I lost. I've thought about it long and hard, because it would be a constant reminder of the miscarriage, but I'm constantly reminded of it anyway, this way I have something to represent that child, something is better than nothing. I hope that doesn't sound depressing.

Not depressing... more beautiful. I like it. I always wanted a tattoo... but nothing ever fancied me too much, and I figured if nothing really fancied me, then I shouldn't jump into it. Perhaps later in the future.

... I don't dream. Yes, biologically, we all dream... in that case, I never remember it. Last time I had a dream was... uh... 8th grade I think.. . 9 years ago? Yikes.

I lost a baby also Alty. It never leaves. What I try to do is celebrate the life that was on it's way to us. (I edited this so it reads better. I don't think the first part made sense the way I wrote it at first.)

I hope that doesn't sound strange. I mean, when I lost my dad and my nephew, I celebrate their life, not losing them. I try to do the same with my baby.

Maybe I shouldn't have jumped in here tonight. I am a bit melancholy also.

I'm so sorry about the loss rebbie... alty too. Can't imagine (and I'm pretty sure I'll never actually comprehend the magnitude of the loss).

I think everyone should celebrate the lives of the ones they've lost. Celebrate the memories... and cherish them.

Thanks Sneezy! You are precious.

I am going to sign off here so bid each of you a wonderful night! Love and Hugs!!

Of course you should jump in Rebbie, you are always welcome.

It does stay with you forever though, doesn't it. It will be three years September 3 that I lost the baby. Well, to me it was a baby, I was only 3 months pregnant, but to me it's a baby as soon as I find out I'm pregnant. The baby actually died at 10 weeks, I went for an ultrasound at exactly 12 weeks only to be told that the baby was gone, go home, rest. I started hemorraghing that night, but I though nothing of it, though it was just my body miscarrying the baby. Twelve hours later after a night of passing clots the size of my fist, and no longer being able to stand on my own or remember my own name, Wiggy rushed me to the hospital. It was the scariest and most painful thing I've ever been through. The rushed me into emergency, I passed out, remember waking up to a room full of people all poking, prodding, screaming, push that, check this... at one point I asked a nurse if I was going to die, she said "I hope not". It ended with an emergency D & C, and that was it, no more baby.

Sorry, I don't know why I told that story, maybe because the 3 year anniversary is almost here.

Sorry Sneezy, don't mean to gross you out. :(

Sneezy, I had a beer earlier today with dinner, around 5pm, can I have another, it's 12am, and I took my last antibiotic today at 6pm. Please. :)

What a novel idea. I'm having a beer, why shouldn't you?

... and gross ME out? Please lady. Just TRY to gross me out and I'll send you flowers ;)

You really want me to try? I bet I could gross you out. Should I try? How about tell you an embarrassing story, bet I can make you blush, yup, bet I can, should I try?

If I do it will be through email, otherwise I'd get banned for sure. ;)

I'm not so sure you can, alty.

Remember... I'm the guy that worked with dead people. A 5-day floater is probably as gross as life will let things get.

Okay, true about the gross. I can probably make you blush though. ;):)

Hi all. I know it's pretty late there, but I don't think that I'll be able to get online when you're usually... my mom told me that I was staying for too long a time in front of the PC and using all the hours of internet, saying that AMHD was a game site. How frustrated I was! Well, I guess I can do nothing except obeying.

Alty, glad you feeling better!!
Sneezy, congrats for your 5th green square! And hope that you will have dreams soon ;)
Rebbie night and sweet dreams to you dear. And what beautiful of a cake you've got!
Starby, hope that you're doing good.
M, Batman, or spiderman hope you too are fine there, in your corner.
Stringer, what to say... hope you're well too
Chery, now you too are not feeling well? So, I wish you to get well as soon as possible.

If I forgot anybody, well, sorry but remember me next time. Ah, yes, there's starty and guy. But I haven't seen starty here. And guy was in lately. Hi Guy! Had nice days?


Hey Unky,

I'm doing a bit better, hopefully on the road to recovery. I'm still coughing all the time and it's driving me crazy, but hopefully that will end soon.

How are you?

I'm fine, but a bit angry for the problem I explained above. And don't abuse too much of that beer dear. I don't want you to have any risk of going sick again so soon, especially if these beers are icy cold. I'm not a specialist, nor up to the experience of Sneezy but I do know that we should not take in cold things. ;)

Awww... Unky! I am still awake, but was just off to bed actually. I hope you can still talk to us! I know your Mom doesn't understand that we are decent people here! We'd miss our little Unky if he was gone! So much fun to talk with! :(

I hope everything is well with you too Unky, and we well look for you whenever you get a chance to chat! :) Be good, and listen to your Mom. Hey, it's hard for people to understand if they don't know that we all repect each other here, and we all care about each other too!. even if we don't know each other face to face!

Come back when you can Unky! We will hold down the fort... (whatever fort it will be next week. haha) and we will all still be here! :D

Well, I can still log on via British Council, a kind of library, if you don't know, with some 15 computers with internet connection. Thank God they don't block that site. Anyway, we can learn from here, and they have blocked gaming sites and sometimes hotmail also is blocked. All this to tell you that I can log on everyday except Monday and Sunday, during at the time when nearly all of you are sleeping (passing off for Sneezy;))

Starby, if I am remembering correctly, I told you I would post the "Computer Cake" on this thread that I made for my son. It was half chocolate, half white cake with almond flavored icing. The total computer, monitor and keyboard is made of cake. I took a couple of small dowel rods and ran through to keep it from sliding. Hope you enjoy viewing it!!!

Chery, glad you are feeling better! We just want you healthy and giving us support, love or "WHAT FOR" if we need it!!! Keep us straight!

Stringer, hope you are feeling better from you day of stress at work.

Alty, glad you are getting better, bit by bit, just wish it was by leaps and bounds instead!!! :p

HC, hope you are getting all settled in!!! Big adjustment?

Did I miss anyone on the thread right now? I apologize if I did. Oh, I think I may have spotted Sneezy on here earlier!

Didn't see M or Unky or other friends we usually see. Hope all of you are doing great! :)


Wow Rebbie, you are very talented... really nice cake hon.

Everyone, I need your help, and I need it yesterday.

My daughter found a baby bird on the sidewalk in front of our house. It has almost all it's feathers, just the head isn't yet covered and of course some of the feathers under the wings etc. I think it may be a chickadee, not sure though. It has a broken wing and I have no idea were the nest is, even if I did, the mother would most likely reject it, because of the wing.

So, it's in a rubbermaid container on top of my heating pad. I've raised baby birds before, but never a wild bird and I have no idea what to feed this little one.

I have a picture, but it's not very good and the flash scares him/her, so I don't want to take another. Any help would be apprecitated, I'd like to keep this little one alive.

10821

Please, anybody, anything?

Sorry Alty, I wouldn't even know where to begin... maybe Sneezer..

Sorry Alty, I wouldn't even know where to begin.....maybe Sneezer.......?

I answered on the other thread. I can't think of much either! Just maybe trying to call the bird sanctuary, or someone at the SPCA might have an idea or two. I'm trying to think of something else Alty.

Sneezy... quick... take an afternoon veterinary class! LOL! Oh hey Alty... what about calling your vet? They might be able to tell you how to set his little broken wing.

AAAHHHH! SO BUSY! Its 4 pm and this is the first time I checked AMHD! Wow... crazy. :)

Miss you all and will catch up tomorrow... hopefully!

JR KISSES

JR KISSES

Have a grand evening HC... :)

:) Thanks, Sir Stringer! I shall!

To Answer questions or not to answer questions. THAT is the question

Sneezy....quick....take an afternoon veterinary class!!

You're killing me starbs... either that or you WANT me dead.

I'd be glad to help but I can't see anything in that picture... can you possibly take a picture with no flash, just lights on?

Nope, automatic flash Sneezy. I've done some research though, it's a yellow breasted finch, probably around 4 days old.

Good news, I got it to eat a little bit, going to try again in 1/2 hour. Dog food, mushed up, that's what my Uncle said and it's been confirmed by many, so that's what the little peeper is getting.

Hopefully it works out, I hope I can keep him alive (yes him, because of the coloring). We'll see, all I can do is try. Wish me luck all. :)

Ooh... good luck alty!

Have you named him yet?

Perhaps you can give it a dog's name. :)

Good luck Nurse Alty :) Wish I could give you some help but...

have you named him yet?



Squeakers

I'm not doing too hot alty. Having a rough day.

...so I'm lashing out on AMHD-ers. It's ok. they had it coming. ...a 12 year old just asked what she should do on a date...at the movies...with a 16 year old.

...I'm not having kids. nope.

Hi folks. How you doing?

Sneezy, I can top that one.. just read a thread from a mother of three teens (2 boys and 1 girl) who asked how she should ask her daughter if she is PG. She 'knows' her kids have sex, but has never had the 'birds and bees' talk with them. She does plan on it now, though... I wonder what they ever talked about while growing up, DUHHHH, like nice weather, what do you want to eat, when are you coming home tonight, etc?? And this was not a joke - really sad.

Alty, honey, I hope you took the birdie to the vets or a shelter - they have special nutrition for little ones like that.

Start.. welcome back - hope your vacation was super.

Stringer... miss you too.

Well, got to go get some sleep and see a few more doctors tomorrow - cross your fingers for me.

Love and virtual hugs to you all,
Momma C.

I sincerely hope with all my heart that this is a joke. I'm actually, for the first time in a long while... at a loss for words here.

Hi Chery Sweetie, and M, and of course Doctor Sneezy. :)

Got Squeakers to eat, lots, when he's hungry he really opens up his mouth. Definitely a finch, so this shouldn't be too hard, I've hand raised baby finches before, albeit pet finches, but how different can they be? He's fiesty, I hope that he survives, I'll keep you all updated. :)

I'll also try to take a better picture later, maybe when I'm feeding him again, around 3 hours from now.

Glad you know what to do hon. Many waking hours and lots of care - you are a sweetheart of an animal lover.

I also think that tattoo of the three Sakura blossoms is a touching idea. I lost two boys at 5months (one before my daughter and one after) and I still remember the loss as if they were yesterday. I keep thinking of what they would be like all grown up men now.

That thread..

::shakes head::

... some of us just weren't meant to procreate.

Us? Sneezy, you aren't included in that, you'd be a great dad, not that I'm rushing you in to it or anything. ;)

Got to go make some dinner for the kids, back later. :)

that thread..

::shakes head::

...some of us just weren't meant to procreate.

So true, and those that would make great parents don't get the opportunity. Sad.


Night,night, all, C.U. tomorrow.

Bye momma c! Bye alty!

I just realized that I missed the deadline for moving my test back by a week... which means I have 10 days.

::gulp::

I'm out studying again... someone make sure I'm still alive in about 6 hours.

Rebbie!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you do a cake showing "Yakky Ducky" in a cage?:rolleyes:

I have the perfect solution! What is your favorite kind of cake and icing? I must know before I can proceed on this venture!!

I am late joining everyone... was out of town today and just got back a bit ago.

Ok, Starby, next, I need to know your favorite kind of cake and icing. I will explain why later!! :p

Chery, I wish you the best of care, comfortability, peace in your heart, strength in your body and joy in your heart as you see your doctors tomorrow! I pray the doctors will be "right on" on their care and treatment of you and that they will be in tune to your needs as you visit with them about your care. Love and Hugs!

bye momma c! bye alty!

Stringer

Good, that's a start. :p As soon as I get Star(ducks) answer I can begin the construction. There is a method to my madness!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

The plan is already formulating in my feeble brain! :)

Wow, I would love a cake like that... but, but it will be mess by the time UPS delivers it?? :D

Wow, I would love a cake like that...but, but it will be mess by the time UPS delivers it?????:D

On a cake of this magnitude, I deliver personal!! :p

I will take no chances on this getting messed up... it is all in the plan of how it will be put together... you and the duck... hmmmmm... you may be surprised the outcome of this plan... LOL ALL GOOD!

Good, that's a start. :p As soon as I get Star(ducks) answer I can begin the construction. There is a method to my madness!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Hhhhhmmmm... now I'm curious :)

M, curiosity killed the cat. :)

That's cool... I'm a Dog :D

I knew you were going to say that. Hey, that means the brain's working again. Cool. :)

I knew you were going to say that. Hey, that means the brain's working again. Cool. :)

Woo Hoo... we have the old Alty back ;)

Old? Old Alty? Really? Old? Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! :(

Howdy friends, how are you all??

Old? Old Alty? Really? Old? Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! :(

I knew you were going to say that;)

You know what I meant:cool:

Ok, now bear in mind, this was done many years ago when the duck held such a place of honor all alone... my daughter had two pet ducks... Princess Tia and Ducky Lucky, well, Duckly Lucky was my son's but for her birthday, she wanted a duck cake so this is the duck cake complete with hand made placemats!! :eek:

Ok, now, keep in mind, we are not approaching this cake in quite the same manner as we have Stringer and the Duck to manage... I'm still working on it. Haven't heard from the duck yet on the kind of cake she likes best. I have to have that information before I can continue to formulate my plan!! ;)

Hey biggie...

Rebby looks like you really put some work into these cakes , good Job!!

Hee, hee, M, you funny man. ;)

Rebbie, gorgeous cake, as usual.

Hey Biggie, how's my bird friend? :)

Hey biggie.........

Rebby looks like you really put some work into these cakes , good Job!!!

Thank you my Guardian Angel!! I appreciate your kind words. :o

Bath time for the munchkins, back later all. :)

I'm doing well, tired... Gym then volleyball tonight right after work. Ready for a shower and bed soon!

Shower is a good idea, jeesh Biggie, stinky! ;)

The kids are stinky too, bath time, later. :)

Adios Alty!

Talk to you tomorrow if I'm not around when you get back

Okay, I'm back for a few, Sydney's in the bath, wants to play for a while, so I have some time.

Biggie sweetie, are you sure you can put off your shower? ;)

Keep it up, I can take a hint all right :p

Aw, lub you anyway, even if you are stinky. :)

You know I'm kidding, well, maybe not, but I really don't know, even if my sense of smell had returned (which it hasn't) I still wouldn't be able to smell you from here. ;)

Hey everyoneeeee I'm backkkk

Biggie, go shower. I can smell it from here.

Alty, how YOU feeling? ;)

Rebby...

Cake... yummm... LOVE the duck deco.

... now I want cake :(

Sneezy, one is in the works... will be awhile yet... but IT IS COMING!! :)

I'm still sniffly, still coughing, but usually only at night. Other than that, I guess I'm okay, at least I'm not dead, so that's a bonus. :);)

The baby bird has eaten twice now, and well, I hope this means it will survive. The only concern now is it's wing, and I also noticed dried blood on one of his legs, and he keeps it curled up against his body, I hope it's okay. If the wing doesn't heal then I'll keep him, but he would need the use of at least one leg in order to sit on a branch or perch. This poor little guy has been through allot in his short life. Age guess would be around 10 days, give or take one day.

Sydney's ready to come out of the tub, I'll be back in around 1/2 hour.

Be good. Who am I kidding, you are good when I'm not around. ;)

Cake sounds good, so does ice cream... Ugh, craving sugar before bed... gotta love it :p
