Awww, melting, melting, cutie bunny, cutie wutie bunny. M, you always know how to get to my heart, straight through the ribs with a knife, right? ;)

:D

:p;)

M, your smilie didn't show up. So sad. :(

M, your smilie didn't show up. So sad. :(

Fixed ;)

I see. Now I look silly. :(

How are you M?

I'm excellent thanks alty , sorry to hear your feeling a bit off colour :(

Have a look at this

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relationships/hes-not-worth-time-322520.html

A year and a half or longer of being scared and not feeling in control sure can take a toll, I hope she listens too Friend. I just can't imagine that pain and agony...

Yeah I know starty , pretty sad isn't it :( Thanks for chiming in , hopefully we can drum it into her.

I responded, thanks for posting the link M. She needs support, she also needs to realize that guys like him never change, they love the power way too much.

I feel for her, and her little girl who knows more and feels more than she even realizes. He may not harm her physically, but mentally he's inflicting a lot of damage on her.

I've been in abusive relationships, heck, one Mr. Wonderful put my head through the windshield of his car because I wouldn't have sex with him. I was 15. The windshield broke, he got madder and proceeded to beat me until I couldn't walk. I still have the scar on my forehead from that incident, thank goodness my hair covers it well. ;)

Okay, apparently I feel like sharing dark secrets. Sorry. :(

I can't even respond to that now. It's been a not so good day. I'll make sure I do though, just not right now.

You okay Starby?

Yeah, thanks Alty. I'm fine. Just had an awful day, and I would likely just give very bad advice if I went there right now. I don't know what's wrong with me today, but I just can't deal with it. I'm going to try and get some sleep and get a grip. I don't know. Maybe it's this damn weather. I just feel overwhelmed with everything. I just need some sleep I guess. :(

I'll maybe give you a call tomorrow sometime okay? Goodnight, sleep well,. and I'm going to try and do the same! ;)

Ditto here, I have to get up at, gulp, 5:30am to drive Wiggy to school. Trucks in the shop, no money to pay for the repairs right now.

Life sucks, but death sucks more. ;)

Night all!

I get up everyday at 5. It's not so bad.

I go to bed everyday at 5, it's not too bad either.

... wait a second...

If I remember right, every time I wake up at 5 I feel way better than I do waking up at 6:45 or 7... why?

5 Sneeze? You go to bed at 5am?

Starbs, here is a hug love.

Alty, we all have our stuff... its all right to share it;)

Today is the most beautiful day of my whole life.

:):):):):)

I can finally breathe a little huge sigh and know that justice DOES prevail, sometimes.

Today is the most beautiful day of my whole life.

:):):):):)

I can finally breathe a little huge sigh and know that justice DOES prevail, sometimes.
AND you are adorable;)

AND you are adorable;)

::blushing:: Gee thanks, I am just jumping with so much joy. $30,000 may not have been well spent but a happy outcome, is gratifying.

I don't know what you are talking about, and even though I still think you are adorable... you want to clue me in? Congrats for sure;)

I have been in a custody battle with my ex, who has some mental handicaps and it really has been a living heck... but thankfully today we had a pretrial conference that went really well and it looks like they will be granting sole custody in the next couple weeks. I am just excited.

Congrats, this is HUGE! This is a wonderful day! Justy I just realized, I don't know enough about you... how many kids? You are in the US right?

Congrats, Justy

I am in the US, Illinois actually. I have two children, but only one involved in this custody battle. My ex was in a coma for 60+ days from contracting meningitis from the vaccinations you receive in boot camp, it left him 100% cognatively impaired, but he won't ever have to work again, so it was very difficult to compete with someone who has so much free time, heave income and can't make rational decisions.

It's been a long process. Lots of ups and downs. I think my life story could sell a lot of books, it's like a soap opera. I am hoping that this gives some peace, except in Illinois he can have custody reevaluated every two years, so I might just be back in this boat in two more years.

Thank Em.

Peace be with you my friend... even if it is for just two years. Congrats! AND write that book;)

LOL, thank you so much. I can't even begin to explain how stressful it is fighting for your children. It is such a waste of money and the legal system, is just SO time consuming and EXPENSIVE... but all said and done, I would have done anything for her. She is my youngest and my tubes are tied. My baby girl. :D

Congrats Justy, I'm glad that things are working out for you.

Can you sprinkle some of that good luck over here, because right now I'm so farking mad that I could literally go postal on someone!

Just need the luck, can't talk about the circumstances yet. :(

I have some good luck to spare. :D

I hate when good people have bad days, isn't karma supposed to work in our favor not against us?

Well good luck to you on your who knows what doing who knows who.

Thanks Justy.

If karma works then this person is in huge trouble.
I just don't know if I can sit here and wait for karma to kick in.
I might have to do something about this myself.

OH NO!! ;)

Yeah, I have been dreaming of paying karma a lot of money to take care of my problem for a long time. Today I feel more patient. :)

I have no patience today, it's all gone.

Grrrr, some people should be drowned at birth. KIDDING! Sort of. ;)

I can point them out if you can master the time and space continuum.

Justy, between you and I, I betcha we could make millions! I can't count the number of times I've been told I should write a book. If anyone has got a crazy story, I can almost guarantee you that I can up the ante. Such is life! I always wanted mine to be full of excitement, adventure, and crazieness... just not this kind! Although, I digress, some of it has been a blast!

... thanks for the hugs Starty girl! ;)

Hello Everyone. Hey Bear! I know you are hear, I jusdt don't know who else. Oh, and another Hey for the when I missed you yesterday. Haha

Well, I weight trucks coming from all over from different companies and from my own company, so we can keep track of how many tons of trash come into the landfill each day. I do a lot of paperwork behind the scenes. Just to let you know, there has been a little under 1,000 tons of trash today. There will be at least another 100 tons before the day is over. Haha

No one wants to go for the chimp or the elephant? Okay fine! How 'bout a Giraffe or a Hippo?. and you have to give reasons! :D

Where are we going? I will take a Hippo and a chimp.

Thanks Starby... the air is much nicer up here on cloud nine than back where I was having my nose rubbed in his sh!t. :D

Thanks Starby... the air is much nicer up here on cloud nine than back where I was having my nose rubbed in his sh!t. :D

Even though mine was a different situation, we might have the "brain dead" thing in common! ;) I just wish my case would have gone as well! I'm happy for you though. I might be really happy for me too, once they get around to sending me my cheque! :D

I'll be back later kids. I just can't get comfortable today. My back and neck are killing me! Have fun kids!

See you Starby. I had to lay down for a while, my poor head hurts. Darn some people and their ability to entirely ruin your day. :(

Hey there all! Long time to seen!!

Well, I moved to my new college, all is fine, great is maybe a better word. The only 'tick' is that my chemistry teacher is really boring! When she talks, she is so monotonous that one may fall asleep in a few minutes! Lol.

I tried to come in here earlier, on last Saturday since it is now the only free time for me to come to the library but the library had some internet problems, therefore, no connection.

For the pics, I think I'll send them to Momma C to post 'em here.

Have a good rest you two Starby and Alty. I'll be back as soon as I can. Lub you all in here! :p

HUSBAND DOWN

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.

The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.

'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife.

'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,' he replies.

'Put them back, we can't afford them,' demands the wife, and
So they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of
Face cream and puts it in the basket.

'What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband.

'It's my face cream. It makes me look sexy and beautiful for you
When we're making love,' replies the wife.

Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Budweiser... at half the price.'

On the PA system: 'Cleanup needed on aisle 25, we have a husband
down.

I am SPITTING mad!! So mad that there isn't enough time to type it all on my stupid blackberry! I'm going to lose it tomorrow, I just kbnow it! I can put up with attitudes and little "he sleeps with me so you ave no say" disagreements, heck, I'm the stupid PEACEMAKER! But when you start messing with MY heritage and the ethical and moral BLATANT atrocities, this Chicky goes Rabid! I will NOT back down on this one! RAHH!!

And add these horrible greiving realities as we bury mu Grandpa this weekend. We just did this with Grammy. :(

But boy, I was "channeling" her AND my ancestors (including Charlemagne and Charles Martel) tonight!

If you think of it, say a few prayers that when I do blow there will be no collateral damage... Or no survivors, however you choose! ;)

Wow, Chicky, you and I are in the same mood today. Imagine what would happen if we worked together right now. Mayhem, murder, and a lot of other M words. ;)

Breathe dear, it will get better, no worries. K?

Oh Chicky, I'm so sorry hon! :( I wish I had some incredibly wise words for you, or a magic wand. You have every right to just go nuts on anyone you want right now! You've just had way too much to go through in the past months. You really need a break! I really wish I could do something to help! Hang in there girl. Grandpa is with Grammy now. You can take some sollace in that, although I know it's hard. You know that they are happy and pain free now, and that they will send you the little signals to let you know that they are just fine.

Safe travelling! BIG HUGS!!

Hi all!

Just want to say, I might be gone tomorrow, I've just posted something I probably shouldn't have, but it had to be posted.

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/other-member-discussions/how-should-backyard-breeders-handled-site-323407.html

If for some reason I get booted, talk to Starby, she has my email, just in case you ever want to talk to me again. I adore all of you, fight the good fight and take care. Just in case.

Sometimes it sucks having a conscience. ;)

Batman? I was missing my necklace! Why did you give it to Alty? You pwomised you wouldn't!

Well for once Chicago missed this last winter storm... it went south of us. The rest of the country got up to 12 " of snow or heavy rain... We are cold, down to 4 above but no snow, except 'lake effect' snow downtown. By Friday they are saying it could get to 60 degrees...

Batman?. Stringy?. Alty?. the cabin is getting dark and scaryyyy!

Nope..................not going there :eek:

Smart man. :cool:

I'm here, made dinner, ate dinner, drank beer, drank more beer. Emailed Sneezy to make sure he's alive because they got snow and he was scared. Bathed the kids, tucked them in, grabbed another beer and now I'm here. :)

Whew! Do you know where the candles are? The power is out!

Just heading out , tomorrow kids :)

Fly away Batman... can you pick me up in the Batmobile on your way out?

Me too! Me too! Please?

Shucks, I think he left already Starby. Night M. Um, leaving a bit early, aren't you? Hmmm. ;)

Starby, just use the flashlights, we aren't peasants!

Well I thought candlelight may be more romantic in the cabin! But since we are the only ones here... do you want to play shadow puppets with the flashlights?

Good Morning Everyone.

By the way, remember that I'm a bunny? Well dear, this is what our kids would look like.

Isn't she adorable? :)

Lol I'm not saying anything :)

Just a little something to be alert to...

Be sure to read Scene 3
Quite interesting……….

SCENE 1:

This is a new one.
People sure stay busy trying to cheat us, don't they?

A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker.
After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, 'Funny, I thought I locked the locker.

Hmm, 'He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order.

Everything looked okay - all cards were in place.

A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of $14,000!

He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions.

Customer care personnel verified that there was no Mistake in the system
And asked if his card had been stolen.

'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made.

An expired similar credit card from the same bank was in the wallet.

The thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards.

Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them.

How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy?

$9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped?

Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell' with some credit card companies.

It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to big one!

SCENE 2:

A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card.

The bill for the meal came, he signed it, and the waitress folded the receipt
And passed the credit card along.

Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket. Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and
Behold, it was the expired card of another person.

He called the waitress and she looked perplexed.

She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.

All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card.

No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology.

Verdict:

Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours.

Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period.

Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, 'assuming' that it has to be theirs.

FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!

SCENE 3:

Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in.

I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly
To my checking account.

The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on
The counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure.

While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing.

I noticed the phone because it is the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a
Picture.

He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of, oblivious to what was really going on.

It then dawned on me: the only thing there was my credit card, so now I'm paying close attention to what he is doing.

He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open.

About five seconds later, I heard the chime that tells you that the picture has been saved.

Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a picture of my credit card.

Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I probably would never have known what happened.

Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card as I was walking out of the pizza parlor.

All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be
Careless.

Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card.

Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days.

lol im not saying anything :)

She has your eyes, my ears. She's so sweet! Too bad she's full of fluff! ;)

Stringer, that is truly terrifying. Me no likey. :(

It is OK. She is just job shadowing him today, and he was in a meeting this morning and so I got stuck training her, so this summer when I change to a different office he might temperorarily hire her for the summer.

Ahhhhhh, now I see... so it's not that scary after all.

Nah, not really. I'm really bored right now though. A nap would be nice. Where is most people when I am around. Do you guys not like me anymore?

Hi M, Alty, sorry to hear your still not feeling well :)

Hey Bear :)

Alty, a quick relief for a 'stuffed head'; Go stand under your shower with the water as hot as you can stand it for about 10 minutes at least... with sinus problems, I have become an expert at quick relief things... no comment please...

And take Fred with you Alty :D

Stringer, will do. :)

M, will do. :D

Good Mornin All

Good Mornin All

Morning my friend hope your weather is better. We have bright sunshine and 38 today... 58 by this Friday.:)

Morning Adam and Stringer...

I was thinking about going out to play today... do you think anyone will miss me or notice??

No... put yourself in to 'fairy status' and you will become invisible... then you can run through the fields of flowers still wet with the morning dew with that sweet smell of fresh cut grass...

Ah ha... I think I can pass for a big overgrown, not very pixie-like fairy...
And if anyone tries to catch me I will pixie-dust them in the eye! :p

My ONLY daughter is 12 toady... OH Crap... SHE is so big now... I don't know what to do!

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS! How is everyone?

My oldest son just turned 12 on the fourth of last month... it is tramatizing.

It always amazes me to know how old I am, because my birthdays come and go, without a lot of thought, but his birthdays make me feel so damn old... like how did that happen, when I went to bed last night you were 7...

So what do you have planned for the big Birthday?

I know... how did this happen? She was my little pigtail sweet heart... and now... goll!
Tonight... family dinner and cake and presents;)
FRIDAY... 15 girls or give or take a couple... are staying the night at my house, scary movies, dancing, junk food, and whatever comes our way I suppose. Husband and the three boys are going for the weekend so she and I can prepare... LOL

Wow, fifteen girls, one house - you are a risk taker. I don't know if I could handle five.

I love her... and am willing to do it for the third years in a row;) Her friends are growing, and I get all the gossip at the same time, I love to see them all in a group. Have a great day all... gotta get myself together;)

Morning my friend hope your weather is better. We have bright sunshine and 38 today...58 by this Friday.:)

Good for you... nice weather...

They just changed tomorrow's here to a high of 64.. finally getting nice...

Yea, I hope it is here to stay. I am tired of the cold. Haven't had much snow since the big one. It can stay that way.

I heard Milwaukee (about three hours North of where I live) got 18 inches on Monday! 18... ugh.

The only thing the snow is good for is SNOW DAYS!

yea, I hope it is here to stay. I am tired of the cold. Haven't had much snow since the big one. It can stay that way.
